Li Nanke was very resistant to coming to the capital to be an official.
But now he couldn't tolerate his refusal.
Because he learned from his uncle that not only was he assigned to the Xuanwu Department, but also Leng Xinnan and Little Rabbit were transferred to the capital as his subordinates.
The Night Patrol Department in the capital is no better than Yuncheng. This is the center of power and has a transcendent status.
The supervision of the Xuanwu Department is equivalent to the status of the supervision of the Qinglong Department in Yuncheng.
They come, the security.
Before taking office, Li Nanke first purchased a house in the capital for convenient living.
The house is very large, with twelve rooms.
There are flower beds, pavilions and rockeries... and a big bed.
Moreover, it was his daughter-in-law Luo Qianqiu who paid for the house.
Because Li Nanke has no money.
Leng Siyuan looked at this with mixed emotions, envy and worry.
The reason for envy is that he is also a man, and the love fortune of this boy Li Nanke makes people extremely jealous. Worry is about whether my sister will be happy.
After all, this guy is very popular with women.
"You said that the Supreme Emperor is really real. Can't you give it to the official and give him a yard? You have to have people rush around to buy a house."
After arranging the newly purchased study furniture, Li Nanke wiped the sweat from his forehead and couldn't help but complain.
The corners of Leng Siyuan's mouth twitched and he said nothing.
From an ordinary member of the Night Patrol Department in Yuncheng to becoming a supervisor in the capital, such a rapid promotion path has rarely occurred.
If it were other people who had already started burning incense, who would still complain about the court not buying a house?
"When will Sister Leng and the others come?"
Li Nanke asked.
I haven't seen Sister Leng and Little Rabbit for a few days, and the man misses them very much. Especially Little Rabbit’s two sisters, I miss them especially.
"After handing over the affairs, I'll be here in a few days."
Leng Siyuan said in a dull voice.
Li Nanke looked at his uncle who was in a bad mood and asked, "Master Leng, the Emperor didn't make things difficult for you, right? I heard from Sister Leng that the court is investigating you."
"Do you know why the Supreme Emperor gave you the position of supervisor of the Xuanwu Department?"
Leng Siyuan asked back.
Li Nanke shook his head and said he didn't know.
Leng Siyuan said: "The last supervisor of the Xuanwu Department in the capital is dead."
"Dead?" Li Nanke was stunned, hearing the hidden meaning in his uncle's words, and frowned and asked, "How did you die?"
"Died on a woman's belly."
"..."
Li Nanke was speechless for a moment.
I thought I had suffered some horrific homicide, but it turned out that I died of overwork.
"Half a year ago, the previous inspector of the Xuanwu Department also died on a woman's belly. Last year, the previous inspector of the Xuanwu Department also died on a woman's belly."
Leng Siyuan said slowly.
Li Nanke was stunned, "These three of us like to visit brothels, right?"
"No, they all kept themselves clean and loved their wives. Therefore, they died in front of their wives in the end."
"This... is quite strange."
Li Nanke felt an inexplicable chill on his back. Could it be that the position of supervisor was cursed? I couldn't help but curiously asked, "Didn't the court find out?"
"No."
"alright, I got it."
Li Nanke leaned back on the chair, looked at the rafters and laughed at himself, "I just said that the Emperor was not so kind, and he was really trying to trick me."
"In addition, the water in the Capital Night Patrol Division is very deep, and it is very difficult to stir up some waves. Next, it is time to test you."
"What if I don't take office?"
"Okay, you'll be responsible for the consequences." Leng Siyuan's thin and handsome face showed a bit of bitterness.
The emperor's majesty cannot be violated.
The other party specially transferred Leng Xinnan and the others here, obviously to give Li Nanke a warning.
You can leave the capital secretly, but only if you can afford to take your friends and women with you.
Li Nanke turned his head slightly and stared at the flawless blue sky outside the door, his eyes as cold as ice. After a long time, he let out a "ha" sound and murmured in a voice that could only be heard by himself: "At worst, we can rebel."
…
After arranging a room for his wife and He Xinyue, Li Nanke followed his uncle to check on the body of the previous supervisor.
Although he was mentally prepared, Li Nanke was still shocked when he saw the corpse.
His eye sockets were sunken, his lips were purple, and his body was completely reduced to skin and bones. It looked like a mummy, as if its flesh, blood and essence had been sucked away.
"Is the clue related to Hongyu?"
Li Nanke tried to dig out some information.
Leng Siyuan shook his head, "I don't know, but this situation is most likely related to Hong Yu. But the court can't find any evidence related to Hong Yu."
Li Nanke asked again, "Except for the Xuanwu Department Supervisor, no other members of the Night Patrol Department died?"
"Yes, but they were all sacrificed while handling cases.
"Then that's a big problem. It seems that this inspector of the Xuanwu Department has been cursed. Master Leng, do you think I won't die on a woman's belly?"
Li Nanke began to worry about his safety.
Fortunately, now he not only has masters like Madam and Ye Yaoyao, but also Yan Jiangxue, a personal bodyguard.
"meeting."
The uncle's answer was straightforward.
Li Nanke was stunned.
Seeing Leng Siyuan's expression, Li Nanke quickly understood what the other person was thinking, and secretly curled his lips, "It doesn't matter if there are many beauties around me. I have great abilities, okay?"
When he got home in the evening, Li Nanke told his wife what had happened.
Unexpectedly, Luo Qianqiu's reaction was the same as Leng Siyuan's, and he even openly mocked her, "Husband, you are worrying too much. Even if you don't take up the supervisory position of Xuantian Department, you will die on a woman's belly sooner or later."
"Then I also want to die on Madam's belly."
In terms of thick skin, it has to be Li Nanke.
Luo Qianqiu's pink cheeks turned red, she glared at the other party angrily, and said coldly: "Since you have become such a big official, it shouldn't be difficult to arrange a position for me."
What does it mean?
Do you want to follow me around and monitor you all day long?
Li Nanke looked ugly.
It’s okay to be strictly controlled by your wife at home, but you also have to be supervised at work. How do you live like this!
So the man refused righteously: "I am now an official appointed by the imperial court, which shows that the imperial court trusts me as a person.
What are you doing? As a family member of an official, you are corrupting your husband. Are there any official wives like you?
There are bad people among the masses, and wives should stay on their own terms instead of following them around! What if you are caught by political enemies? "
Li Nanke talked a lot, which made Luo Qianqiu frown.
Why haven't I felt this guy was so hypocritical before?
For fear of being forced by his wife, Li Nanke quickly changed the subject, "Oh, by the way, what about your mother's affairs in Hongyu World now..."
"I'm a little tired, let's talk another day."
Luo Qianqiu said calmly.
Women seem to be very resistant to the matter of their mother and deliberately avoid it.
Li Nanke didn't understand, but it was hard to ask why. He nodded, "Okay, let's go to bed early. We are really tired these days."
After that, it was time to go to bed.
Although there are many bad things, being gentle with my wife is the most important thing right now.
Looking at his wife's unparalleled and beautiful dimples, the man's heart was filled with excitement. After all, this was his wife's true face, an upgraded version of his perfect wife.
"go out."
However, Luo Qianqiu's words poured cold water on the man.
Li Nanke was stunned.
Seeing that the other party was not joking, he couldn't help but angrily said: "Daughter-in-law, you are going too far. Anyway, I am too——"
"go out."
The woman's eyes narrowed in warning.
Li Nanke wanted to continue arguing, but when he thought of all the beauty troubles he had caused along the way, he suddenly felt guilty and lost his momentum. Unreasonably, he muttered: "Just go out when you go out, it's not like there is no place to sleep."
"Where to sleep?"
"Go fight the Landlord with your wife and your master."
Li Nanke dropped the harsh words and walked out of the door.
Luo Qianqiu clenched her fists, but then she laughed inexplicably, her smile full of hesitation and helplessness.
Lying on the bed with the lights out, the woman stared blankly at the wall in the darkness, with complicated thoughts.
Sometimes I think back to the scenes when I was a girl, sometimes I think about Li Nanke and his mistress, sometimes I think about my mother... all kinds of annoying things are like a messy pot.
Slowly, she recalled every bit of her initial life with Li Nanke.
Thinking of her husband's occasional childlike behavior, the corners of her lips couldn't help but raise, revealing a shallow smile...until a touch of bitterness spread from the corners of her lips.
It turned out that at some point, there were a few more tears on her face.
Squeak——
The door was suddenly pushed open gently.
Luo Qianqiu turned sideways.
Then there were sneaky footsteps again.
"daughter in law?"
Behind him was a man's soft call.
Luo Qianqiu, who was lying on her side with her back to the man, said nothing.
Li Nanke got into bed, put one arm around his wife's slender waist, pulled her into his arms, and said softly: "I can't sleep without you."
"..."
The woman raised her head slightly so that her husband could put his left arm under her neck.
A teardrop fell uncontrollably on the man's arm.
Li Nanke wanted to wipe it away, but Luo Qianqiu lowered her head, opened her soft red lips, gently kissed the teardrop, and said softly: "Go to sleep."
