In the alley, Xue Mu suddenly appeared in front of three men in black.
Although they were a little surprised.
But they suddenly came back to their senses, and they all set up their movements, preparing to fight.
Xue Mu looked calm, but there was a hint of indifference in his mood, and his whole body exuded a chilling air.
"who are you?"
"Teach your man a lesson!"
One of them said in a low voice.
When Xue Mu heard it, he felt a little familiar.
You know, blind people hear best.
But the man deliberately lowered his voice.
No original sound is used.
Probably because he didn't want to be recognized.
At this time, Xue Mu clearly understood through his sight and saw the left hand of the person in the middle caressing the sword.
The man on the far left is holding a close-fitting short sword in his right hand.
"superior!"
The next second, three people attacked Xue Mu at the same time.
Xue Mu immediately analyzed it through their movements.
These three people should be around the second level of opening the pulse.
The strength is also solid.
But after all, he is already a late-stage warrior at the fourth level of opening the pulse.
And he has a lot of skills and abilities.
Even with bare hands he can defeat these three people.
With the sudden attack of the three people, the outline in Xue Mu's eyes gradually became clear.
Vertically and horizontally, he turned sideways, bent over, and retreated, dodging the opponent's attacks.
Several daggers passed in front of him, causing a harsh hiss.
The man in the middle knew how powerful Xue Mu was, so he looked at the man on the left and signaled with his eyes.
Sure enough, their next attacks became more and more fierce.
The man in black on the far left jumped into the air, wanting to teach Xue Mu a lesson.
But he didn't expect Xue Mu to suddenly raise his fist.
At this time, he was close to completing the Heavenly Thunder Fist.
One punch with nearly full-level skills.
The man in black swayed and fell to the ground like a heavy weight. He fell to the ground in disgrace.
This scene actually frightened the other two people.
Instead, Xue Mu continued to stand there calmly, as if mocking their failure.
"Lao San, are you okay?" the man in the middle said.
The fallen man in black gritted his teeth, got up, and yelled: "His grandma is going to die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the dagger in his hand waved wildly, making a deafening noise, as if he wanted to defeat Xue Mu in front of him.
The man in the middle was worried that he was too angry, so he hurriedly said: "Third brother, please be careful!"
He was even worried that his third brother would hurt Xue Mu's life.
But Xue Mu seemed a little disdainful, and even had a contemptuous smile on his face.
To know.
Although he couldn't see it, the man in black's move to draw the sword seemed to slow down several times in his consciousness.
Xue Mu was seen dodging the attack accurately and calmly.
At the same time, a blow is thrown in from time to time.
This torturing sense of oppression made the man in black angrier and angrier.
The other two people also knew Xue Mu's purpose, and they went up together, intending to subdue him.
But Xue Mu lowered his waist and kicked one of them to the ground with a side kick.
Then another straight thunder fist hit the front chin with lightning speed.
With just two movements, the two men in black fell to the ground and started wailing.
Xue Mu did not attack the third person, but asked calmly: "Who are you? Who sent you here?"
The man who was still standing hesitated a little. He glanced at the two people who fell on the ground, and finally attacked again.
At this time, a flying stone hit his calf from behind.
He fell directly to the ground, hugging his legs and wailing.
Xue Mu raised his eyes and found a woman coming.
Judging from the body shape of the sight.
He knows who it is.
After all, I have seen it many times.
Nangong Xue walked over in a hurry, and then asked: "What's going on? Are these three people attacking you?"
Xue Mu smiled and explained: "It should be so, I don't know, I haven't asked yet."
One of them, Dou Ziang, who was holding his leg, saw Nangong Xue and immediately wanted to pull his companion to escape from the scene.
However, Nangong Xue had already stepped on him, and then tore off his mask.
She wanted to see who wanted to attack Qianhu of the Divine Catcher Division.
When she took off her mask, her eyes widened.
"Dou Zi'ang?!"
Dou Ziang was a little embarrassed. He lowered his head and turned his face to one side.
Nangong Xue realized something immediately, and she took off the masks of the remaining two people.
Although they all covered their faces with their hands, Nangong Xue recognized them all at once.
"Dou Lao Er, Dou Lao San?!"
She looked at the three in surprise.
Seeing that Nangong Xue seemed to know them, Xue Mu asked, "Sister Xue'er, who are they?"
"They are from the Fifth Office." Nangong Xue replied coldly.
Then, she unsheathed her long sword, put the blade against Dou Ziang's neck, and asked angrily: "Say! What do you want to do? Who sent you here?"
The person next to him quickly explained: "Master Nangong, please don't hurt me. In fact, we..."
But at this time Dou Ziang interrupted: "Second brother, don't talk."
He then looked at Nangong Xue: "We don't like Xue Mu, so we want to teach him a lesson. It's that simple."
Nangong Xue naturally didn't believe it. She looked at Dou Zi'ang coldly and put the sword blade against his neck again: "You'd better tell the truth. Don't blame me for taking action. Did Cheng Lu ask you to come?"
Dou Ziang immediately replied: "No, this has nothing to do with Cheng Baihu."
When Xue Mu heard this, he remembered.
It turned out that these people were Cheng Lu's subordinates.
At first, he didn't realize who was in charge of the Fifth Bureau.
Now, he understands.
He probably took Qianhu's position, which made Na Cheng Lu secretly unhappy.
So, he simply made a killing move and said with a smile: "I guess Cheng Baihu must think that I have robbed him of his Qianhu position. As long as he kills me, the Qianhu title will fall into his hands again." Alright."
"You fart."
"You can't slander our Cheng Baihu like this."
"You have just arrived in the Divine Catching Division for more than a month. What qualifications do you have to skip three levels in a row?"
The words of Dou Ziang and others made Nangong Xue very angry.
She interrupted directly: "The nomination of Qianhu was personally selected by Master Lu, the commander of the capital. Even I didn't know that Xue Mu was the candidate of Qianhu. If you are not satisfied with the nomination of Qianhu, you can Go find the capital commander."
"Furthermore, what did the commander say when you entered the Divine Catcher Division? Anyone who is capable does not need to stick to too many so-called qualifications. Positions are given to capable people. If you are capable, then what happened before? There are several cases, why do you people from the Fifth Branch fail to solve the cases?"
When Dou Ziang heard Nangong Xue's words, he wanted to refute.
But I don't know what to say.
Nangong Xue continued: "Even now, if Mr. Xue wants your lives, he can help you solve it here, but I believe he will not do this. It is because of this that most people Can't do it."
When Xue Mu heard this, he felt that Nangong Xue's art of speaking was getting better and better.
She was worried that she would avenge herself and make use of the topic.
After all, these three people did sneak attack on him.
So give yourself a shelf in advance and pick him up.
In this case, Xue Mu would not be able to step down for a while.
However, Xue Mu did not intend to take the lives of these three people. Instead, he said: "In fact, it is a good thing for young people to be bloody. After all, those who can join the God Catching Division are all outstanding people from all over the country. It is a good thing to have backbone. .”
Nangong Xue also knew that Xue Mu was no longer targeting these three people, so she quickly kicked Dou Ziang and others, and ordered: "Xue Qianhu doesn't care anymore, why don't you kowtow and thank them quickly."
Perhaps because of being so frightened by Nangong Xue, Dou Ziang and others also knew the consequences of this matter.
They hurriedly explained: "Master Xue, we just got excited and wanted to teach you a lesson."
"We really didn't mean any harm."
"Yes, Mr. Xue, I have nothing to do with Cheng Baihu this time. I hope you will in the future."
They were worried that once this matter was exposed, Xue Mu would undermine their position and even that of the Fifth Division in the Divine Catching Division.
But Xue Mu didn't care at all about the three clowns in front of him. He just smiled and said, "Don't worry, we just had a discussion and that's it."
"Yes, yes, we just had a discussion."
"That's it."
Seeing that the matter was almost settled, Nangong Xue looked at the three people fiercely and cursed: "Get out of here now."
"Yes, Lord Nangong."
"Master Xue, let's go."
The three people immediately left in a mess.
After they left, Xue Mu asked, "Sister Xue'er, why did you suddenly appear here?"
"I was originally handing over a document to the Ministry of Justice. When I passed by the alley, I heard the sound of fighting. I thought it was a gangster, but I didn't expect it was you."
Nangong Xue told him in advance: "I will deal with these three people and let them use corporal punishment to train for three months and deduct two months of salary. What do you think?"
"Sister Xue'er, just make your own decision."
"In addition, even if Cheng Lu doesn't know about this, he must be angry in his heart, and the people under him would want to help him vent his anger. I will help you find him."
"Thank you, Sister Xue'er."
"Okay, don't say thank you or thank you, and leave quickly."
Walking out of the alley, Nangong Xue heard people discussing on the street: "There was a young prince and a young master doing experiments in Guiyue Tower just now."
"What experiment?"
"He dropped a copper coin and a tael of silver at the same time from the second floor. Guess which one hit the ground first?"
"Then silver must land first. This is not a simple problem."
"Wrong! That's what I thought at the time, but guess what? They landed at the same time."
"Ah? No way, how is it possible?"
"real."
Nangong Xue listened to the conversation of these people, turned to look at Xue Mu, and asked tentatively: "The prince and the young master he just mentioned, could that young master be you?"
Xue Mu smiled awkwardly: "Sister Xue'er is so smart."
"Then is what he said true?"
"What's true?"
Nangong Xue continued to ask: "The silver coins and copper coins fell to the ground at the same time. How is this possible? You couldn't be fooling Zhao Jingyan, right?"
"No, they really all landed at the same time, sister Xue'er, I won't lie to you." Xue Mu replied.
"I do not believe."
Xue Mu knew that if she didn't believe what she saw, it would be impossible for her to believe it.
So he asked Nangong Xue: "How about Sister Xue'er give me one tael of silver and one copper coin, and we can make a bet."
"How to bet?" Nangong Xue asked.
"If I lose, I will not only give you ten taels of silver, but also buy you a delicious meal every day for one month." Xue Mu made the condition.
Nangong Xue felt that the conditions of this bet were good, but she also knew that Xue Mu never made a loss-making business, and this guy was very naughty.
So he asked, "What if I lose?"
"If Sister Xueer loses, can you answer a question for me?"
"That's it?"
"Yes."
"good."
With that said, Nangong Xue took out a copper coin and an ingot of silver from her arms.
Xue Mu took these two things and raised them above his head.
Two seconds later, they fell at the same time.
Nangong Xue stared at the copper coins and silver coins in front of her.
After a moment, she looked at the ground in disbelief and said in surprise: "How is that possible?"
"Sister Xue'er, did they land at the same time?" Xue Mu pretended to ask.
Nangong Xue picked up the copper coins and silver coins and started experimenting again.
No matter how many times I try.
The ending is still the same.
This made her very strange.
But she was still willing to admit defeat and kept her promise: "Okay, I lost, you can ask."
"This question may involve Sister Xue'er's privacy. Please be prepared, Sister Xue'er."
As soon as these words came out, Nangong Xue began to feel nervous.
[Could it be that he wants to ask me if I like him? 】
Suddenly, Nangong Xue didn’t know how to prepare.
If she really asked, should she say she liked it or not?
If you like it, she is now the deputy commander, and Xue Mu is her subordinate.
The boss likes the subordinate.
The particularity of this identity made Nangong Xue worried for a while.
After all, it's not glamorous.
But if you say you don't like it.
Do you have any psychological emotions?
In just two seconds, she even deduced countless answer patterns.
He raised his head and looked at that handsome face.
The balance in Nangong Xue's heart seemed to quietly tilt to the other side.
Now she was waiting for Xue Mu to ask questions.
I saw Xue Mu saying a little embarrassed at this time: "Actually, this question is quite embarrassing."
Nangong Xue was calm on the surface, but actually she was panicking inside.
She pretended to be calm and said: "It's okay, you ask, I will answer."
"You" Xue Mu is a little hard to say.
Nangong Xue blushed. She raised her head, waiting for Xue Mu's question, and once again mustered up the courage to say, "It's okay. Just ask boldly."
Although she may not be able to immediately give the answer Xue Mu wants, she feels that it is remarkable that Xue Mu can take the initiative to speak.
"Okay, let me think about how to organize the language." Xue Mu hesitated again.
Nangong Xue was a little anxious at this time: "Hurry up and ask!"
Being frightened by her, Xue Mu pretended to be scared: "Okay, okay, let me ask."
"That's right. I want to ask, Sister Xue'er, are you?"
Listening to the questions he asked, Nangong Xue squeezed out toothpaste bit by bit, her legs couldn't help but close together, obviously a little anxious.
"Did you beat Brother Jingyan when you were a child?"
"ah?"
Nangong Xue was stunned for a moment.
She asked: "Say it again?"
"I asked, did Sister Xueer beat the young prince when she was a child?"
"That's what you're asking?"
"Uh-huh."
Nangong Xue immediately turned down her face, turned around and walked forward.
When Xue Mu saw this, he suppressed his smile and pretended to step forward and shouted: "Sister Xue'er, you haven't answered me yet, right?"
"Yes! So what?!" Nangong Xue looked back at him, clenched her fists, and cursed: "Just ask me this question."
"Yes." Xue Mu replied: "I think brother Jing Yan seems to be afraid of you, so I guessed that he must have been beaten by you when he was a child."
Nangong Xue was even more angry and speechless after hearing this.
She walked faster.
Seeing her reaction, Xue Mu felt happy.
In fact, he knew what question Nangong Xue wanted to hear.
But how could he ask so easily and so quickly?
Sometimes you can't ask about things like feelings.
It needs to be done.
Only if you do it and love her the way she does, will the other person truly be with you.
so.
Some times.
Pretend to understand but remain confused.
is the best way.
Sure enough, Nangong Xue returned to the room.
I drank several glasses of water in one go before I slowly regained my composure.
She gasped for air, seemingly out of breath.
Even her chest has grown several times.
"Just ask me this question, and you have to pay for it with a bet."
"madness."
"Extremely stupid!!"
Nangong Xue even cursed a few times.
"If I had known, I would have ignored him just now."
"Let Dou Ziang and the others teach him a lesson."
"Look what he can do."
But having said that, if Dou Ziang and the others really injured Xue Mu, she still couldn't bear it.
That’s all.
It is probably also a wooden frame.
Nangong Xue thought to herself, such a man is good.
At the very least, if there were other women who expressed their feelings, he would think that they would have sex with him.
Fortunately, I can work with him now and spend a lot of time with him.
As the saying goes.
Love grows over time, and it has been a good recipe for love since ancient times.
Xue Mu, on the other hand, asked Zhou Fu to bring out the case about Zhangjiazhuang.
This made Zhou Fu a little puzzled.
Zhou Fu asked: "Master Xue, our Zhangjiazhuang is a small village ten miles away from Jincheng. Why are all the cases about Zhangjiazhuang in recent years being brought out for no reason?"
"No need to ask, just do as you are told." Xue Mu said calmly.
Zhou Fu thought there was some confidential information, so he stopped asking any more questions.
After searching for a while, I finally took out all the files about Zhangjiazhuang over the years.
He wiped his sweat and said breathlessly: "Actually, Zhangjiazhuang is under the jurisdiction of Nanhua County. Generally speaking, if it is not a big case, it cannot be handled by the people of our Detective Division. If we want to see more For cases, you can only go to the Nanhua County Yamen or the Criminal Department."
"It's okay, just think about the case about Zhangjiazhuang five years ago."
Zhou Fu picked up an old file and read: "This case is about a murder case that occurred in Zhangjiazhuang five years ago. All five members of the family were injured, and the cause of death was a stab wound to the neck."
"The murderer was Zhang Dagen, who had a dispute with the deceased. Out of grudge, he killed five members of the deceased's family at night."
"Next."
"This case was a river poisoning case four years ago. Because the neighboring village had always been at odds with the people of Zhangjiazhuang, someone proposed poisoning Zhangjiazhuang, which resulted in the death of more than ten people in Zhangjiazhuang. Because of this incident, it once caused a sensation in the capital. His Majesty also Due to poor management, the county magistrate of Nanhua County was removed.”
"Okay, next one."
For half an hour, Zhou Fu was reading the dossier.
Xue Mu then said: "Okay, Zhou Fu, please rest for a while."
Zhou Fu said: "It's okay, sir, I can continue to read."
"Okay, then you go look for cases related to farmland disputes." Xue Mu reminded.
When Zhou Fu heard this, he immediately started looking for it.
But after searching for a long time, there is no file on the farmland dispute.
He replied: "Mr.
"Then you go to the Ministry of Justice and ask if you can get the rest of the files from Zhangjiazhuang."
After saying that, he took out a token.
This is the symbol of the god catching Si Qianhu, and he handed it to Zhou Fu.
Zhou Fu took the token and immediately rushed to the Criminal Department.
Xue Mu knew that he would not be back soon.
He squinted his eyes and planned to rest for a while.
In fact, he probably knew it in his heart.
Zhou Fu's trip was probably in vain.
If there is a case about a dispute over farmland, I am afraid that given the person of the magistrate of Nanhua County, it is absolutely impossible for him to report it to the Ministry of Punishment.
Sure enough, Zhou Fu came back empty-handed with the token in hand.
He said: "Master Xue, the Ministry of Punishment has no case on farmland disputes."
"Okay, I understand. Zhou Fu, you have worked hard too. Go down and rest."
"Sir, I'm not working hard, so I'll go get busy first."
"Um."
Xue Mu stood up and planned to go to Zhang Baisheng's house in two days to see if he could ask anything more.
Just as he walked out of the door, he heard a pebble rolling on the ground.
Then he went to the backyard.
Sure enough, Liu Xiaodao was waiting for him there.
Liu Xiaodao looked nervous and gasped, "Sir, it's not good."
"What's the matter, so panicked?" Xue Mu asked.
"Zhang Baisheng and his wife are missing." Liu Xiaodao replied.
"Gone?"
"right."
Liu Xiaodao added: "Today I originally wanted to find Zhang Baisheng, but no one answered the door after knocking for a long time, so I climbed over the wall and went in to take a look and found that there was no one inside."
"Could it be that they went to the farmland?" Xue Mu asked.
Liu Xiaodao explained: "I thought so at first, but until I found there was fire on the brazier, I thought something was wrong."
"Their houses are all bare. If they go out, they will put out the fire and not waste the charcoal in the pot. To verify this, I even went to Zhang Baisheng's farmland."
"The neighbor in the field next door told me that he didn't come to fertilize this morning. The neighbor also felt strange because according to usual habits, the two of them go to fertilize together every day. As a result, the neighbor knocked on the door for a long time. , no one responded, I originally thought he had left early, but when I came to the farmland, I realized that Zhang Baisheng was not there."
After hearing this, Xue Mu thought for a while.
Then he asked: "When you were taking action, did you notice anyone following you?"
"No? I don't think I found anyone." Liu Xiaodao shook his head.
Xue Mu recalled that when he was at Guiyue Tower, the housekeeper Lao Jia urged Zhao Jingyan to leave and reminded that there were two men in black in the crowd.
Just now he thought it was Dou Ziang's three guys.
But when he turned around and thought about it, Lao Jia revealed that it was two men in black.
There are three of them, Dou Ziang.
In other words, it is very likely that they are two different groups of people.
Thinking of this, Xue Mu and Liu Xiaodao said: "You should take care of yourself and hide in the recent period."
"Sir, has our whereabouts been discovered? But I am thinking about asking people about the fertile farmland. Will we be targeted?" Liu Xiaodao didn't know the meaning behind this farmland, but he just found it strange.
Xue Mu was worried that he would take it lightly, so he emphasized: "You have to be careful, because the person following us is likely to have some background."
"Don't worry, sir. After all, I am also the number one thief. How can I be followed so easily? I am always the only one who follows others." Liu Xiaodao said confidently.
After hearing this, Xue Mu immediately interrupted: "You must not take it lightly. Now, the only person who can help me is you."
Maybe Liu Xiaodao didn't take it seriously just now, but it was precisely because he heard what Xue Mu said.
My heart was moved.
After all, all the time.
He felt like he was alone.
Now, someone needs him.
Then Liu Xiaodao will naturally live up to his fate.
He patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, I will listen to whatever you say, sir. I will protect myself well these days. If you need to find me, you can take a walk at the door of the backyard of the Shenhua Division before dark. I can notice it."
"Okay, then please pay attention to safety and carefully investigate Zhang Baisheng's whereabouts."
"Don't worry, sir."
The next second, Liu Xiaodao disappeared at the door of the backyard.
Xue Mu actually didn’t know where Zhang Baisheng had gone.
But he always had an ominous premonition.
And a person's name also appeared in his mind.
That is Huang Shoucheng.
That is, the largest landlord in Zhangjiazhuang.
"It seems like we have to go and meet some other time."
Xue Mu thought about it and walked out of the street, planning to go back.
But as soon as he walked out, he heard a gentle female voice with a hint of pride: "This young master."
Xue Mu turned around, although he couldn't see clearly.
But from the perspective of sight, there were two women standing in front of them.
The person standing in front of him has a good figure and is absolutely unambiguous about what he should be.
It even surprised him.
This woman's legs are as long as Nangong Xue's.
Xue Mu was a little surprised. According to this ratio, even without opening his eyes, he knew that the woman in front of him must be a good-looking woman.
Surprised, he cupped his hands and asked, "What do you want, girl?"
Zhao Ruoli looked at the handsome Xue Mu in front of her, looked him up and down, and then asked calmly: "I wonder if you know how to get to East Street, sir?"
"Sorry, I can't see, but I can give you the general direction. It should be..." Xue Mu pointed out the way to East Street based on his memory.
Zhao Ruoli's maid Qing'er was a little surprised. She looked at Xue Mu and kept staring into his eyes.
Zhao Ruoli was not surprised by this, so she thanked him: "Thank you, sir."
"You're welcome."
At this time, Qing'er suddenly said: "Miss, this young master seems to be the one who lent us the silver coins to throw the pot."
Xue Mu, who originally wanted to turn around and leave, suddenly thought of something after hearing these words.
He then asked: "Are you the girl who gave me silver coins before and made me successfully throw the pot?"
Seeing that he had taken the bait, Zhao Ruoli smiled slightly and said, "My girl has a good memory. If she says yes, then that's it."
Listening to Zhao Ruoli's smooth and generous answer, Xue Mu cupped his hands and thanked her: "I couldn't thank the girl in person that day, but now I have a chance to do so. Thank you very much, girl."
With that said, he took out some silver from his pocket and wanted to repay it.
Zhao Ruoli said, "Young Master, you don't have to be polite. Didn't you give me a hosta in return that day?"
Xue Mu smiled: "I didn't expect the girl to still remember the hosta."
"Of course, that hosta is very beautiful." Seeing this, Zhao Ruoli suggested: "I am destined to meet the young master today, but I still don't know the young master's name. My daughter, Zhao Li, doesn't know the young master's name?"
"Xue Mu, I have met Miss Zhao Li."
"Where are you going, Master?"
"Get ready to go home."
"If that's the case, then don't bother the young master."
"I guess Miss Zhao Li has something to do when she goes to East Street, so we can meet again someday."
"good."
Just like that, Xue Mu left.
Zhao Ruoli looked at his leaving figure and said to Qing'er, "Qing'er, let's go to East Street."
I saw Qing'er asking in a low voice: "Your Highness, the eldest princess, why did you say goodbye in such a hurry today?"
Zhao Ruoli smiled calmly.
"Don't be afraid, the future is long."
Sorry ~ I’m late ~ but I would like to ask for a monthly pass!
