now.
Nangong Xue was a little embarrassed.
Although she turned her face away, she was still meowing out of the corner of her eye.
What I didn't expect was that Xue Mu's pectoralis major muscles were so "magnificent".
The muscles were soft and hard at times.
It's interesting.
Xue Mu stood calmly on the spot. It had to be said that Nangong Xue must have been distracted now.
Sure enough, it wasn't until a while later.
She just reacted.
Then he quickly said: "Okay, it's already applied."
"Thank you, Sister Xue'er." Xue Mu put on his clothes and said again.
Nangong Xue responded guiltily: "I didn't mean it just now, don't take it to heart."
"I know, Sister Xue'er is also afraid that I won't make progress, so she wants to teach me some lessons." Xue Mu said this deliberately.
When Nangong Xue saw him descending the steps for her, she followed suit and said, "If you think so, then I feel relieved. Okay, you can go down first."
"By the way, Sister Xue'er, do you want to attend tonight's banquet?"
Nangong Xue wanted to agree, but thought that if she went, the fellow agents from the Tenth Division might not be able to let her go.
She finally said: "I won't go. You guys have a good time, but remember to eat and drink in moderation, otherwise other people will make a fuss when they see you."
"Yes, Sister Xue'er."
Nangong Xue also reminded: "When you first became a member of Qianhu, now is the time when you need to win over people's hearts. After all, you were promoted from the Tenth Division, so the brothers in the Tenth Division will also be your confidants in the future. Be nice to them." .”
"Although the Divine Catching Department is not as mixed as other departments, it is still an officialdom after all, and I believe you should understand the principles of big and small."
"clear."
Then Xue Mu left.
Nangong stayed in the room.
Recalling the details of applying the medicine for him just now, I was a little shy at first.
But then I thought about it.
She seemed to sense something was wrong.
Nangong Xue glanced at her fist and compared it with the fist mark on Xue Mu's chest in her mind.
"Strange. Why does it feel like the fist mark is bigger?"
Xue Mu rubbed his chest and came to the backyard.
Although he used a bitter trick.
But after all, Nangong Xue also applied medicine to herself.
Maybe I'm feeling guilty now.
So this punch is not a loss.
When he returned to the training ground at Shichu, he asked Zheng Jun: "Zheng Baihu, let's invite the brothers to celebrate together tonight."
"good."
Zheng Jun nodded first, then looked around and reminded Xue Mu: "Sir, I just observed Cheng Lu, and I found that he had an angry look on his face. He seemed to be dissatisfied with your promotion to the position of Thousand Households. Do you want to Be careful."
Xue Mu smiled and said: "Actually, it's normal. After all, I've only been in the Shenhua Division for more than a month. If I'm a member of a thousand households just because of two cases, I think hundreds of households will be unhappy."
"Otherwise, I'll ask my mother-in-law to make some pastries and send them to the other hundred households in the name of adults someday. This can be considered as a way to please them. After all, we have to work together for such a long time." Zheng Jun suggested.
After Xue Mu heard this, he nodded and agreed: "Then Brother Lao Zheng will be here."
"No, no, no, no, no, you are my eldest brother. Now you have the status of a thousand households. All ten of us have to listen to you. You are now our direct superior." Zheng Jun said with a smile.
Xue Mu shook his head: "Actually, I just came to the Shenqi Division not long ago, and I still have to rely on you for a lot of things. Let's learn together."
"Yes, yes, let's learn together."
"Then let's find a place to have dinner together tonight."
"okay."
Xue Mu spent the afternoon fishing.
So I have just been nominated for Qianhu, but when I should be lazy, I still stay idle as usual.
But what he didn't know was that he was in a small room.
Two or three detectives were discussing something.
"Brother Cheng, are you just going to swallow your anger like this?"
Cheng Lu said helplessly: "What else can we do?"
"Why don't we find an opportunity to vent our anger?"
"No, I heard that Xue Mu has a bad temper. Didn't the people from the ten places compete with him before?"
"Tsk, can those rubbish from the Tenth Division compare with ours from the Fifth Division?"
"If these cases hadn't happened in their jurisdiction, the case would have been solved long ago if it had been handed over to us. Why would there be any need to go to such trouble?"
"That's right."
Cheng Lu was very irritated by what these people said to each other.
He waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, you go down first."
Just like that, the other three detectives also left.
Then, one of the detectives asked another person standing in the middle: "Brother Dou, are we really not going to speak out for Cheng Baihu?"
The man in the middle is a senior agent from the 5th Bureau.
His name is Dou Ziang.
He looked at the two people beside him and said, "Second child, third child, go and find an opportunity to prepare. We can't let Brother Cheng be wronged."
"clear."
"Let us teach that brat a lesson. If he hadn't climbed up a big tree like Nangong Xue, how could it have been his turn to be the one for these thousands of households?"
The tone of the three people gradually became harsher.
After getting off duty, Xue Mu and others came to a small stall.
"Boss, bring up all the delicious food and drinks."
"okay."
After the food and wine were served, many people also toasted to Xue Mu and Zheng Jun.
"Xue Qianhu, Zheng Baihu, let's have a drink."
"Come."
It can be said that Zheng Jun finally got his wish when he became a member of a hundred households.
Therefore, he would not refuse the toasts from his subordinates.
Xue Mu, on the other hand, stayed awake at all times. After all, Nangong Xue had reminded him that drinking was okay, but not excessive.
While eating and drinking, he turned on his vision and noticed someone nearby using Shadowless Micro Steps.
He suddenly thought of Liu Xiaodao.
Then Xue Mu made an excuse and left.
Sure enough, I just walked into an alley.
Liu Xiaodao appeared in front of him.
Xue Mu asked: "Xiao Dao, why are you here?"
"Sir, I happened to be passing by and saw you guys having a drink, so I observed it out of curiosity. I didn't expect you to notice me." Liu Xiaodao laughed.
"Your shadowless steps are dangling in front of me, and I don't know you yet?" Xue Mu complained.
Then he took out some silver and asked, "Do you have no money to spend?"
"My lord, my lord, I have money." Liu Xiaodao said quickly.
"Take it."
When Liu Xiaodao saw Xue Mu handing it to him, he accepted it with embarrassment: "Sir, you are so generous."
"By the way, in order to repay your financial kindness, I will bring you a message."
When Xue Mu heard what he said, he became curious: "What news?"
Liu Xiaodao said softly: "Do you still remember when you asked me to investigate Zhang Baisheng in Zhangjiazhuang?"
"Remember, what happened?"
"I found his address." Liu Xiaodao explained: "Do you need me to take you there?"
When Xue Mu heard this, he thought of Zhang Baisheng's acres of land.
You know, the record book of fertile land that I hid has not yet figured out the whole story.
And Xu Jie’s identity.
And what is his relationship with his father.
In addition, how many undercover agents are there in Daqing?
He hasn't investigated these clearly yet.
Counting the time, it's almost Hai hour now.
I'm about to open my eyes.
So he said: "Okay, then you wait here for me. I will go say hello to them and then go with you."
"Okay, sir, I'm waiting for you here." Liu Xiaodao nodded.
Xue Mu walked out of the alley.
Zheng Jun looked at him and asked, "Brother Xue, what's wrong with you?"
Xue Mu made an excuse: "It's nothing, I just felt a little urgent to urinate, so I looked for a place."
"Haha, I didn't expect Xue Qianhu to be so generous. He just found a place and peed."
"What's the point? We pee standing up and carry our backs over. It's not like girls who have to squat, right?"
"Hahaha, agreed."
"Come and drink!"
Xue Mu reminded at this time: "You guys continue to drink. I'll take care of tonight's food and drink. If I have something to do, I'll go back first."
"Xue Qianhu, are you leaving?"
Zheng Jun also immediately asked: "Brother Xue, are you going back?"
Xue Mu nodded: "I can't bear to drink. You guys are so good at drinking. I have to go back and take a nap."
"Hahahaha, Xue Qianhu, you have to eat out with us more often."
"Yes, yes, if you eat it a few times, you will be able to drink a thousand cups without pouring it out."
Xue Mu also waved his hand: "Okay, okay, let's continue next time. We'll be here first tonight."
"Xue Qianhu, walk slowly."
"Do you want us to take you back?"
"No, no, no, just keep drinking and dancing."
Xue Mu staggered into the alley, and then immediately returned to normal.
Liu Xiaodao couldn't help but sigh: "Sir, there is no trace of your performance."
"Okay, stop talking so much, let's set off quickly."
"Okay, sir, I will lead the way."
With that said, Liu Xiaodao performed the Shadowless Micro Step.
All of a sudden, it disappeared at the entrance of the alley.
Xue Mu also followed closely.
To be honest, he could immediately keep up with Liu Xiaodao even without opening his eyes.
They came all the way from the capital to Zhangjiazhuang.
Zhangjiazhuang is located on Shili Road outside Beijing.
Along the way, Liu Xiaodao explained: "Although this village is not far outside the capital, it is not under the jurisdiction of the capital, but belongs to Nanhua County."
"Nanhua County"
"Yes, Nanhua County. The magistrate of Nanhua County is a careless boss. He often colludes with landlords and outsiders to oppress the people." Liu Xiaodao replied.
Xue Mu was a little curious: "But isn't the capital just ten miles away? How dare he, the magistrate of Nanhua County, commit crimes under the emperor's feet?"
Liu Xiaodao laughed: "Sir, you must know that this powerful dragon cannot defeat the local snake."
"The magistrate of Nanhua County is a smooth and well-organized official. The fact that he can do this proves that there must be someone above him."
After hearing these words, Xue Mu couldn't help but think.
This Daqing feels like a sieve that has been penetrated, with holes everywhere.
Finish poking the hole.
Poke down the hole.
Not long after, they arrived at Zhangjiazhuang.
At this time, Haishi has passed.
Xue Mu's eyes recovered his vision. He looked at the rows of thatched huts, and then asked, "Is this Zhangjiazhuang?"
Liu Xiaodao explained: "Yes, sir, we have arrived at Zhangjiazhuang. I will take you to Zhang Baisheng's home."
"good."
Follow a path to the end.
Xue Mu looked up and saw a private house.
I saw Liu Xiaodao patting the door.
The person in the back room responded: "Who is it?"
Liu Xiaodao didn't know how to answer, so he asked in a low voice: "Sir, how should we phrase it?"
I saw Xue Mu shouting directly: "Old Zhang, open the door."
As soon as these words came out, the person in the back room who was still hesitant came out.
After opening the door, Xue Mu looked up and down.
In the moonlight, this is a dark-looking, burly man, about fifty years old.
The strong man glanced at Xue Mu and Liu Xiaodao and wondered: "Who are you? I don't know you."
Just when he was about to close the door, Xue Mu held the door, and then explained: "Is it Zhang Baisheng?"
The strong man looked at Xue Mu with some confusion and asked curiously: "How do you know my name?"
Liu Xiaodao made an introduction at this time: "This is an adult from the capital. His name is Xue Mu, Lord Xue."
Zhang Baisheng was still a little wary, and he asked: "You said he is an official from the capital, does that mean he is an official?"
Xue Mu took out a token, and he and Zhang Baisheng explained: "Do you know the Divine Catcher Division?"
Zhang Baisheng first glanced at the token, then shook his head and said, "I don't know the words."
With that said, he wanted to close the door again.
Xue Mu had no choice but to use his trump card.
"Do you know Mr. Xu Jiexu?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Baisheng stopped closing the door.
He was a little surprised and looked at Xue Mu in disbelief: "Do you know Lord Xu Jie?"
Seeing his reaction, Xue Mu knew that Xu Jie must have been to Zhangjiazhuang.
And judging from the situation, he should have had a lot of interactions with them.
So he answered: "Yes, I know Mr. Xu Jie."
After Zhang Baisheng heard this, he hesitated for a while.
Finally, he looked around and said quickly: "Quick, get in the house."
Just like that, Xue Mu and Liu Xiaodao entered the house.
The layout of the room is very simple.
Just a table and a few chairs.
There is a wooden bed in the back room, but there is no other furniture.
It can be seen that they live a somewhat poor life.
After hearing the noise, the woman in the back room left and came out to ask, "Lao Zhang, what is this?"
Zhang Baisheng explained: "These two are officials from the capital."
"Why are officials here again?" The woman suddenly panicked, "We, we didn't say anything."
Xue Mu heard the clue and asked, "What do you want to say?"
The woman hesitated all of a sudden. She glanced at Zhang Baisheng and didn't know how to explain.
But Zhang Baisheng said: "Go and boil some water for the two adults."
"Yes, I'll go right away."
After the woman left, Zhang Baisheng said to Xue Mu, "An official came before."
Xue Mu asked quickly: "But Mr. Xu Jie."
"It's not Mr. Xu Jie. Didn't he say he was in jail before?"
"Well, that's right, Master Xu Jie has already, already."
When Xue Mu said this, Zhang Baisheng understood immediately.
He regretted: "Master Xu Jie is a good official."
"Then can you tell me who the official who came to you a few days ago was?"
Zhang Baisheng shook his head: "We don't know, I only know that Huang Yuanwai brought him here, and then he went door to door to inquire about the situation, and told us that we can pay 10% less food in the next spring, but the prerequisite is not to talk nonsense. "
Zhang Baisheng looked at Xue Mu: "Actually, if you were not Mr. Xu's friend, I would not dare to let you into the house."
"Then when did Lord Xu come to see you?" Xue Mu asked.
"He has been coming to Zhangjiazhuang since about six months ago."
"What exactly to do."
"Help us measure the land."
Xue Mu suddenly thought of something, and he said, "Is the size of your farmland different from what is stated in the official document?"
Sure enough, upon hearing these words, Zhang Baisheng's eyes flashed with surprise.
He hurriedly asked: "Sir, how do you know?"
“Did the original four acres of land turn into three and a half acres?
Zhang Baisheng was even more shocked by Xue Mu's words.
Liu Xiaodao chuckled at this time.
"And your field is on the other side of the river. You have to cross the bridge every time you go there."
"This this."
Xue Mu replied: "Actually, I already knew what Mr. Xu did before this. Although he is gone now, I still want to investigate clearly. I wonder if Lao Zhang you are willing to tell everything you know about the situation." Tell me?"
Zhang Baisheng hesitated for a while, glanced at Xue Mu, and suddenly said doubtfully: "Sir, your eyes"
Xue Mu replied deliberately: "Yes, my eyes can't see."
Perhaps it was precisely because of this shortcoming that Zhang Baisheng felt a sense of pity.
It is also easier to believe that Xue Mu is a good person.
He finally said: "Actually, Mr. Xu has been silently investigating the land distribution in Zhangjiazhuang. We farmers have more or less lost some fertile land."
Xue Mu asked at this time: "Then do you know where the missing fields have gone?"
"Of course it's Huang Shoucheng and Huang Bapi."
Speaking of Huang Shoucheng, Zhang Baisheng suddenly became excited.
"Huang Shoucheng and Lao Zhang, can you tell us more about this person?" Xue Mu asked.
Zhang Baisheng replied: "This Huang Shoucheng is the largest landlord in our Zhangjiazhuang."
"In the past, he often bullied us. He hired us to work in his fields, but he would often deduct our wages because of this or that."
"Every quarter when the government comes to ask for grain, the food we turn in is always enough, but Huang Shoucheng always greets the county magistrate in advance, so he has to pay us for the shortfall. In addition, it can be said that in our place, Huang Shoucheng is already a person full of evil."
Liu Xiaodao became confused and asked: "Isn't this Zhangjiazhuang? When I walked around, almost everyone had the surname Zhang. How could a person with a foreign surname show off his power here?"
"That's because the county magistrate is Huang Shoucheng's cousin, and it's abominable for the two of them to work together."
Xue Mu already knew the general ins and outs.
He nodded, and then said: "Okay, I understand, and please ask Lao Zhang to help us keep the secret."
Zhang Baisheng immediately replied: "Okay, no problem."
Then he asked again: "Sir, are you here to deal with Huang Shoucheng?"
Xue Mu originally didn't want to answer this question head-on, but when he saw the condition of the family, he finally said: "Yes."
"Then thank you sir, you must uphold justice for us and bring peace to our Zhangjiazhuang."
"Do not worry."
Then Xue Mu walked out of the house: "Okay, there's no need to send Lao Zhang away, just stay here."
"Hey, okay."
Zhang Baisheng looked at Xue Mu's leaving figure and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It is somewhat similar to Master Xu back then."
On the way back, Liu Xiaodao couldn't help but asked curiously: "Sir, are you going to deal with the case of uneven distribution of fertile land in Zhangjiazhuang?"
Xue Mu asked back: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Liu Xiaodao explained: "Although Zhangjiazhuang is just a small village, it is not difficult to deal with this kind of case, but in fact there are many villages like this. Almost every village will have one or two landlords who dominate. Even if you solve Zhangjiazhuang If we have problems with fertile land, then there are also Lijiazhuang and Chenjiazhuang, what should we do about these?"
Xue Mu heard the implication of Liu Xiaodao's words.
The capital city was already a mixed bag under the emperor's feet.
A place like this outside the capital must be dark.
Liu Xiaodao didn't want Xue Mu to get involved in this kind of thing to avoid being framed.
But Xue Mu knew that if he didn't investigate further.
So Xu Jie's death and the relationship behind him.
And his identity as an undercover agent.
None of this can be verified by oneself.
What's more, he promised Xu Ruyan that he would overturn the case for his father.
Although his current position is only a thousand households.
But Xue Mu believes that he will be able to continue to climb up in the near future.
When the evidence is in hand, Xu Jie can be overturned.
To be honest, if it had been in the past, he might still be worried about the living environment under his nose.
Therefore, he would not agree to Xu Ruyan's matter easily.
But now, Xu Ruyan has long regarded him as a family member.
It can even be said that he is the only relative in the world.
Faced with such an infatuated woman, how could Xue Mu retreat?
Her matter is Xue Mu's matter.
So Xue Mu finally said: "It doesn't matter. I will investigate the Zhangjiazhuang case slowly. The one that appears in front of me now is Zhangjiazhuang. If there are Lijiazhuang and Chenjiacun in the future, I will also investigate slowly."
"My lord, this matter is not simple. Since you have already decided, why not let me help you." Liu Xiaodao suggested.
Xue Mu was a little surprised and asked, "How do you want to help me?"
Liu Xiaodao explained: "I will help you go to Huang Shoucheng's house to explore and see what their situation is like."
"Then you must be careful. Huang Shoucheng's home must be heavily guarded and has many servants." Xue Mu reminded.
"Don't worry, sir. I'm famous for my good body skills. I taught you how to use the shadowless microwave."
"It's best if you are safe."
With that said, Xue Mu took out some silver coins from his arms and handed them to him.
This time Liu Xiaodao did not refuse, but directly took the silver and said: "Sir, I will take my leave first."
"good."
In an instant, Liu Xiaodao disappeared from Xue Mu's eyes.
Seeing that it was getting late, Xue Mu hurried back to the city.
At night, a dark figure knocked on the door.
The sound on the bed suddenly stopped.
I saw a middle-aged man with a big belly wearing pajamas. He opened the door with an unhappy expression and asked, "What's going on? Didn't you see that I'm being a woman?"
The black figure lowered his head and said, "Master, two people went to find Zhang Baisheng."
The middle-aged man stroked his beard and then asked, "Who is it?"
"I don't know. After they left Zhang Baisheng's home, they dispersed."
"Go, ask that Zhang Baisheng tomorrow and make sure he tells you."
"Yes, sir."
The middle-aged man then closed the door.
Then climbed back into bed.
After a while, his hand continued to press a woman's head.
The woman first whimpered twice, and then slapped the man's thigh with both hands.
When Xue Mu returned home, it was already midnight.
But Xu Ruyan is not asleep yet.
He then asked: "Ruyan, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
"Young Master hasn't come back, so I can't sleep."
"You don't have to wait for me anymore. Look at Sister Leng, she must be asleep."
At this moment, Leng Mei's room opened, and she leaned against the door and complained: "Hey~ If I had known, I would have gone to bed. Someone would have thought I was asleep."
"I thought it was my fault that Sister Leng had so many things to do all day long and fell asleep from exhaustion." Xue Mu said deliberately.
Leng Mei naturally knew that he said this on purpose, just to let herself out.
He then asked: "Where are you going tonight? It's so late."
"Went outside the city." Xue Mu asked Leng Mei, "By the way, Sister Leng, are most of the farmers outside the city illiterate?"
Leng Mei nodded: "These people have been doing hard work since they were born. How can they have any chance to go to private school? Knowing a word or two is already amazing."
"In other words, if someone tampered with the text, they wouldn't know it."
Leng Mei added: "So at this time, the government has shown its importance. In most cases, the farmers will trust the government."
"Then what if people from the government are also colluding with each other?"
When Xue Mu said this, Xu Ruyan understood that he had gone to check out the fertile land in Zhangjiazhuang.
She immediately asked: "Sir, have you found anything?"
Xue Mu nodded, but he did not explain: "We have found some things, but not much. I will tell you after there is substantial progress."
Xu Ruyan thought her father was about to be overturned, but after hearing Xue Mu's words, she was obviously a little disappointed.
But she was still looking forward to the time when Xue Mu would tell her the truth one day.
Leng Mei didn't speak, but after listening to what Xue Mu just said, she had some thoughts of her own.
Afterwards, the three of them went back to their rooms.
However, when Leng Mei just lay down.
Xue Mu knocked on the door.
"What's wrong?" Leng Mei asked deliberately.
In fact, she knew that Xue Mu would definitely knock on her door tonight.
Sure enough, Xue Mu explained: "Sister Leng, I am now the Qianhu of the Divine Catcher Division."
After hearing this, Leng Mei raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
She opened the door and looked at Xue Mu.
I was also curious: "A person who has just joined the Divine Catcher Division for more than a month can actually advance to three levels in a row?"
"This is all thanks to Sister Leng's encouragement. If it weren't for Sister Leng, I wouldn't have such great motivation." Xue Mu joked.
Speaking of this, Leng Mei suddenly took his hand, and then put her index finger to her lips.
She pretended to complain: "Hezhu, you work so hard just to get me?"
"Of course not. I am trying hard to get my sister's approval."
After hearing this, Leng Mei smiled, then bit her index finger and said, "You guys are so glib."
"Do you like Sister Leng?"
"I like it, but I like it better when you are honest with me."
Upon hearing this, Xue Mu hugged Leng Mei on the bed without saying a word.
Leng Mei looked at him. She was a little nervous when she was about to face that kind of thing, but she still pretended to be calm and said: "What if, after you get me, you abandon me?"
"I, Xue Mu, will die a good death if I abandon my sister. God will kill me."
Leng Mei put her hand on his mouth and frowned: "Why do you like to say this so much? I'll punish you."
"Sister Leng, how should I be punished?"
"Then I'll shut your mouth."
The next second, Leng Mei took the initiative to kiss her.
Not long after, there was movement in the room.
That night, Xue Mu completely made Leng Mei his woman
(End of chapter)
