Chapter 7 The Widow Sells Tofu(1/2)

When Xue Mu went home, he happened to pass by Ansan Street.

This street mostly sells daily household items.

Many vendors were shouting.

Originally, he planned to pass through it quietly.

But just halfway through, a cold and charming voice came.

"Xiao Mu~Xiao Mu~~"

Xue Mu heard the shouting from the front left and turned his head.

Not long after, he came to Leng Mei, cupped his hands and said, "Sister Leng."

Leng Mei saw that he had changed his clothes and looked dignified, so she deliberately teased: "If I hadn't called you on purpose just now, wouldn't you have known how to find your sister?"

"Sister is joking. I have eye problems. When I walk, I only focus on the front. I have no way to accurately guess the specific location of my sister's stall." Xue Mu apologized: "Please forgive me."

"Oh, I'm just teasing you." Leng Mei chuckled softly.

Then she took a small portion of tofu from the plate, stuffed it into Xue Mu's hand and said, "Take it home and eat it. If it's not enough, come to my sister's house to get the tofu."

Xue Mu did not shirk this time, but agreed: "Okay, thank you sister."

It happened that someone came to buy tofu at this time, so Leng Mei diverted her energy there.

When she came to her senses, Xue Mu had already left.

And she also saw a few more copper coins on the table.

Looking at the few copper plates, Leng Mei smiled.

In the evening, Xue Mu returned home.

He began to practice.

Although Tianlei Fist is a low-level skill.

But Xue Mu still practices every night.

This is currently the only skill that I can use to kill enemies.

There is never any harm in practicing more.

I saw him suddenly swinging his fist and hitting the wall in the yard.

Even the wall tiles have a large recess.

Listening to such power, Xue Mu believed that against an ordinary person, this punch should be able to send him to Nantianmen.

Then he returned to the house.

Use Turtle Breathing Technique to gradually adjust your Qi and blood so that the meridians in your body can be better stabilized.

By the time everything was done, it was already late at night.

Xue Mu simply washed up and then went to bed to rest.

Early the next morning.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the prison, he heard someone in front of him pleading: "Sir, please let me go in and see my father."

"This is the Jingzhao Mansion Heavenly Prison. Do you think anyone can break in? Hurry and leave!"

"grown ups!"

A woman in a white dress was begging for mercy without tears.

Xue Mu didn't want to pay attention and planned to bypass them and go into the prison.

However, the jailer guarding the door took the initiative and said: "Good morning, Jailer Xue."

"Yes." Xue Mu nodded and prepared to walk in.

When the woman heard this, she quickly grabbed his sleeve.

Xue Mu turned his head and took a step back.

Although he couldn't see the makeup of the woman in front of him.

But you can still smell a faint fragrance.

The woman's jet-black hair was tied up with a lavender ribbon, and a few strands of hair hung mischievously on her shoulders, making her skin that could be broken even more white.

The wide hem of her clothes is embroidered with pink patterns, and her arms are wrapped with a light purple gauze that is about ten feet long.

There was no makeup on her face, but her eyes were fresh and moving. Maybe it was because of sadness, and you could even see tears dripping from the corners of her eyes.

She looked at Xue Mu and begged: "Sir, can you let me see my father?"

"Your father?" Xue Mu frowned: "Who is your father?"

"My name is Xu Ruyan. She is the daughter of Xu Jie, the former head of the Household Department. I hope you can be accommodating." After saying that, Xu Ruyan took out a silver coin from her purse and planned to hand it to Xue Mu.

But Xue Mu didn't take it.

He knows who Xu Jie is.

Officials who embezzled tens of thousands of taels.

Such important criminals must not let their families in without permission from above.

At this time, Xu Ruyan also seemed to realize that Xue Mu was blind.

She simply grabbed Xue Mu's hand and forced the silver into her hand.

After doing this, Xu Ruyan felt that her face was red and her ears were red, and her heartbeat was about to beat.

From childhood to adulthood, I stayed in the palace and stayed in the boudoir.

Etiquette and upbringing are strictly in accordance with dad's instructions.

But in order to be able to see her father, she didn't care about propriety, justice and shame, so she finally grabbed Xue Mu's hand and wouldn't let go.

But Xue Mu still said with a heart of stone: "I can't let you in."

After saying that, he put the silver back into Xu Ruyan's hand.

Then Xue Mu turned around and left.

He can't meddle in such matters.

As the big bosses fight in officialdom, a low-level official like him can only watch the show quietly.

If you do something outrageous, you will be punished sooner or later.

Although judging from the blurred vision, the woman was indeed quite pretty.

But Xue Mu knew that if he helped, the little head would be happy, but the big head would probably fall off.

He had just walked two steps when he heard Xu Ruyan's subtle sobbing.

She seemed unwilling to give up, and still asked one more question: "Sir, can you help me see how my father is doing? Is he okay? I will wait here until sunset. Sir, I will wait for you..."

Xu Ruyan looked at Xue Mu who was slowly leaving and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

There has been no news from his father since he was captured by people from Jingzhao Mansion half a month ago.

No matter how much effort she spent and how many uncles and officials she begged, no one dared to plead for her father.

With no choice but to come to Jingzhao Mansion, she planned to meet her father.

However, the jail system in Jingzhao Prefecture is very strict, so how could a family member of a major criminal be allowed to enter it?

Now she can only hope that this blind man can be kind and come out before sunset to tell her about her father's situation.

At this time, Xue Mu walked into the prison, and many guards greeted him.

"Good morning, Brother Mu."

"Brother Mu."

"Brother Mu."

Xue Mu also understands the ways of the world. Even though he is a jailer and the leader of these people, he still shouts: "Brother Hu, Brother Qin, morning."

Just after he finished his courtesy, Xue Mu began to inspect the cells on the third floor of A, B, and C.

There was nothing unusual along the way from Class A to Class B cell.

But when he walked to the last cell in Level B, he listened to Xu Jie's situation with his ears.

Judging from his breathing rate, he was weaker than the previous two days.

It is even possible that we won’t be able to wait until autumn.

He did not tell Xu Jie what happened at the Tianlao gate this morning. Xue Mu always kept in mind the principle that doing more is worse than doing less.

It is enough to just do your duty honestly, be cautious in everything, and improve your own strength.

Just as he was about to leave, "The Book of Sins" suddenly updated his information page.

[Name: Xue Mu
