"I don't know what Brother Xue is doing."
At this moment, Zhao Jingyan was walking towards Xue Mu's room.
Behind him was the housekeeper Lao Jia who kept shouting: "Little Prince, please wait for me."
"You are really slow and procrastinating." Zhao Jingyan complained.
Naturally, Xue Mu didn't know that Zhao Jingyan had arrived.
He is in the process of making a breakthrough in the fifth level of pulse opening.
I don’t know if it was the previous four-level breakthrough that laid the foundation of my physique.
Now when I get promoted, I don’t feel too painful.
Everything returned to calm as a powerful flow of air erupted from his body.
Xue Mu was successfully promoted to the fifth level of pulse opening.
He clenched his fists, feeling the power brought by the fifth level warrior.
It has to be said that this power and speed are even twice as much as before.
The point is that my eyes seem to be clearer again.
Open the "Edict of Sin".
Sure enough, my personal information page has been updated.
[Name: Xue Mu
Strength: fifth level of pulse opening
Experience value: 121/50000
Kung Fu: Golden Bell Cover 65%, Turtle Breath Kung Fu 71%, Heavenly Thunder Fist 100%, Vision Insight 90%, "Wind Sword Slash" 50%, Vision 15%, and "Pure Yang Kung Fu" 10%.
Reward: Eye-opening time at Xu Shi. 】
Xue Mu was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that it was Xu Shi's time to open his eyes.
Xu Shi is from seven to nine o'clock in the evening.
In other words, from nine o'clock in the evening until one o'clock in the morning, I can regain my sight.
This also greatly facilitates my subsequent work.
Now that he has become a fifth-level warrior, Nangong Xuedu is no longer his opponent in the Divine Catcher Division.
Now perhaps only Lu Jianghe is still suppressing him.
Xue Mu was actually a little curious about the commander of the Divine Catching Division.
That was because he couldn't estimate Lu Jianghe's strength.
Murong Dai also wanted to go to his room to steal the palace map and even kill Lu Jianghe.
Judging from Xue Mu's current ability, it is obvious that he is seeking death.
Therefore, Xue Mu would naturally not be in a hurry to kill someone.
What's more, although Lu Jianghe didn't have much contact with him, in his impression, Lu Jianghe was a pretty good person.
Therefore, Xue Mu felt that it was very possible that the hatred between Lu Jianghe and Murong Dai was a misunderstanding.
After he investigated the Zhangjiazhuang Tiandi case clearly, he started to investigate the grievances between them.
After all, it is also a good thing to turn conflicts into friendship and use more words and less force.
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door.
"Brother Xue, are you there?"
Zhao Jingyan's voice came from outside the door.
When Xue Mu heard this, he immediately went over to open the door.
He asked in surprise: "Brother Jing Yan, why are you here?"
"Of course I came here to find you." Zhao Jingyan said happily: "It's really boring, so I can only come to you to see if I have any fun? What are you doing?"
Naturally, Xue Mu would not tell him that he had just been promoted, but explained: "I was busy with a case just now."
"Oh? Is there any case? Let me hear it." Zhao Jingyan asked curiously.
Just as Xue Mu was about to tell him, Zheng Jun and others came back.
He looked at Xue Mu, then at Zhao Jingyan next to him, and then whispered: "Sir, please come out."
Xue Mu then said to Zhao Jingyan, "Brother Jingyan, please stay in the room for a while. I'll be back soon."
"Okay, you're busy." After saying that, Zhao Jingyan sat down on his own.
Xue Mu went out with Zheng Jun.
"What's wrong? Aren't you going to the Criminal Department?"
Zheng Jun replied: "Sir, we just went to the Ministry of Punishment and planned to apply for the arrest of Huang Haigui from Nanhua County, but the Ministry of Punishment did not approve the application, saying there was no evidence."
"How come there is no evidence?" Xue Mu was a little confused: "Didn't I ask you to bring the confession?"
"Yes, I wonder if it was Lu Yuantong, the Minister of Justice, who deliberately caused a stumbling block for us because of what happened this morning." Zheng Jun explained.
Hearing this, Xue Mu also guessed that this was probably the reason.
So he said, "It doesn't matter, I'll figure it out."
"Okay, but if it takes a long time, I guess Huang Haigui might" Zheng Jun is worried that Huang Haigui will run away.
However, Xue Mu said: "Don't worry, if you don't arrest him today, he will think he is safe. The position of county magistrate will not be given up easily."
"That's true, my subordinate will go and get busy first."
"good."
Xue Mu returned to the room.
When he heard Zhao Jingyan's voice talking in the back room, his mind started spinning.
I immediately thought of a solution.
Walking into the room, Xue Mu looked through his eyes and found Zhao Jingyan sitting there, not knowing what he was looking at.
Zhao Jingyan was seen watching with interest.
It was only because of Lao Jia's reminder that he realized that Xue Mu had already entered.
He quickly put down the book in his hand and asked: "Brother Xue, you can't see, why is there a storybook in the room?"
Xue Mu then asked, "Oh? Brother Jing Yan, which one are you reading?"
"This is "The Romance of the West Chamber", it's quite interesting." Zhao Jingyan said happily.
Xue Mu replied: "When I take a break, I ask my subordinates to tell me a few paragraphs to add some interest."
"I see."
Zhao Jingyan looked at the "West Chamber" in his hand, and then at the "Dream of Red Mansions" beside him, and was surprised: "I didn't expect this storybook to be quite good-looking."
At this time, Lao Jia spoke, and said in a low voice: "My dear prince, just now you were despising the literati who were reading and discussing in the teahouse."
"You fart." Zhao Jingyan frowned and said, "How could I be complaining or showing contempt just now?"
Xue Mu laughed when he saw the master and servant talking to each other: "The relationship between the young prince and the housekeeper Lao Jia is indeed very good."
"What a piece of shit." Zhao Jingyan said with disdain: "You follow me like a dog-skin plaster every day, otherwise I would have walked to the end of the world with my sword."
"Little prince, it's better not to go to the end of the world with a sword, after all," Xue Mu faltered mid-sentence.
Zhao Jingyan recalled that someone was looking for him just now, so he asked: "By the way, what did they ask you for just now?"
"There is a Nanhua County outside the capital. The county magistrate and the landowners are working together to secretly reduce the people's fields and increase their taxes and grain every season." Xue Mu explained.
Hearing this, Zhao Jingyan became angry indeed.
He slammed the table and cursed angrily: "Why are there such dog officials in this world today?"
He asked: "Then won't you, the Chief of Police, arrest them?"
"When we arrest officials outside the capital, we must obtain approval from the Ministry of Punishment. However, the Ministry of Punishment rejected our application due to lack of evidence, so I also have a headache." Xue Mu did what he did.
Zhao Jingyan frowned: "Why does the Criminal Department do this? Do you have any evidence?"
"Yes, the landowner has confessed, and we have a confession."
"Since there is a confession, the people from the Ministry of Punishments still refuse to approve it. I'm afraid this is a nest of snakes and rats." Zhao Jingyan said, then stood up: "Let's go, I want to see who dares to stop my brother Xue from arresting him. Bad guy.”
Seeing this, Lao Jia hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "My young prince, the old prince has said that you are not allowed to deal with those officials."
"I didn't deal with them. I just questioned them as a civilian. Is this okay?" Zhao Jingyan asked.
Lao Jia was a little embarrassed: "Young prince, no one in or outside the capital knows you."
Xue Mu took the opportunity and said: "Brother Jing Yan, we should handle this matter ourselves. As the prince, it is not convenient for you."
"Why is it inconvenient?" Zhao Jingyan is like a rebellious child in adolescence. The more he doesn't want it, the more he wants it.
He immediately decided: "I will go to the Ministry of Punishment now to help you ask. Don't worry."
With that said, Zhao Jingyan left.
Before leaving, he took the two story books away and asked: "In return, Brother Xue, how about you lend me these two story books for two days?"
"Of course it's no problem, then I'll wait for the good news from Brother Jing Yan."
"good."
Zhao Jingyan was very excited and left the Shenhua Division with the script in hand.
Not long after leaving, Nangong Xue came.
It seemed that Zheng Jun had already told her about this.
Nangong Xue came to Xue Mu's room and asked, "Did Zheng Jun just tell you about the approval or disapproval of the Ministry of Punishment?"
Xue Mu nodded: "I already said it."
"There is probably something wrong with Lu Yuantong." Nangong Xue said firmly.
"But we now have no evidence to prove that Lu Yuantong has a problem. Only by catching Huang Haigui can we find out the mole in the Criminal Department. Otherwise, there will be no breakthrough in this case." Xue Mu replied.
Nangong Xue was a little embarrassed: "Master Lu went out early today and said he was going to Jiangnan. It is estimated that he will not come back for several days. Now that he is not here, even if Fei Ge delivers the letter, it will take a day or two. He is afraid that Huang Haigui will escape. ”
"That's not true." Xue Mu explained: "I'm not afraid of him escaping, I'm afraid of him being harmed, because he knows a lot of things."
Nangong Xue also agreed with his point of view: "Indeed, otherwise I will use that reason to say that he is an undercover agent of Daxia Kingdom and capture him first."
Xue Mu laughed: "I guess Lu Yuantong must have known our methods, so if we go to catch Huang Haigui, we may not be successful."
"What should we do?" Nangong Xue couldn't think of a better way at this moment.
Although the Divine Catcher Division can indeed arrest people beyond the Criminal Department.
But the person arrested before was Huang Shoucheng, who could be considered a civilian after all.
But now we want to arrest Huang Haigui, who is also the magistrate of Nanhua County and an official of the imperial court.
If you are caught casually and thrown into the prison, there will be big trouble later.
Xue Mu comforted us at this time: "Brother Jing Yan, the young prince, came just now. He said he would help us."
"He's here?" Nangong Xue frowned: "What is he here for?"
"Maybe he wanted to find me. After hearing about this, he offered to help us get the approval. As for what means he would use, I don't know." Xue Mu explained.
Nangong Xue disagreed: "You actually believe him. How can he, a playboy who is an idle man, achieve anything."
She waved her hand and said, "I'd better pass the letter to Master Lu and tell him about this matter and see what he decides."
After saying that, she left.
Xue Mu was not in a hurry and rested for the rest of the time.
Soon, it was time to drop the value.
He walked out of the Shenhua Division and planned to go back.
However, as soon as I walked out, I heard a familiar voice: "Master Xue, our queen has an invitation."
When Xue Mu heard about it, he found out that it was Xiu'er, the maid of Concubine Wan Gui.
He was a little embarrassed and said: "I don't know why the queen is looking for me?"
Xiu'er replied: "This slave doesn't know."
Due to the imperial concubine's order, Xue Mu cannot openly disobey it yet.
Therefore, he could only get on the carriage and enter the imperial city.
at the same time.
In the eldest princess's bedroom.
Meng Zhi is waiting in the palace.
After Zhao Ruoli finished reading the latest chapter of "Dream of Red Mansions", she still felt unfinished.
She handed the book in her hand to Qing'er, then looked at Meng Zhi in the audience and asked, "How is it?"
"Xue Mu is now Qianhu of the Divine Catcher Division. He solved the previous controversial salt smuggling case and the corpse fraud case of the Ministry of War."
Meng Zhi continued: "In the beginning, he was a jailer in Jingzhao Mansion Tianlao. Later, he joined the Shenqing Division because of his meritorious service in quelling the Tianlao rebellion."
After hearing this, Zhao Ruoli asked curiously: "After he entered the Divine Catching Division, he was promoted to a thousand households in one fell swoop?"
"That's not true. It was a hundred households at first, because after two cases, Nangong Xue took the place of Qianhu." Meng Zhi explained: "Nangong Xue seemed to care about Xue Mu. They cracked the case outside the city together. In the case of the bandit in Hutuo Mountain, the two of them went deep into the bandit’s lair, so they lived and died together.”
Zhao Ruoli nodded.
She suddenly thought of something and asked: "You said that Nangong Xue Qianhu is the niece of Concubine Mu in the harem?"
"Exactly, she is the niece of the imperial concubine Nangong Wei."
Speaking of this, Meng Zhi hesitated and hesitated.
Zhao Ruoli noticed his expression and asked, "What's wrong?"
"The lower official discovered that Concubine Mu once asked Xue Mu to enter the palace." Meng Zhi replied.
After hearing these words, Zhao Ruoli remembered that she had seen a familiar figure in the palace.
Now that I think about it, that's what happened.
Zhao Ruoli then replied: "I guess the imperial concubine felt that Xue Mu was worthy of his niece, so she summoned him into the palace to see what he looked like."
"There is one more thing that I don't know whether to talk about or not." Meng Zhi was embarrassed.
"But it doesn't matter."
"That means Concubine Wan Gui also invited him to the palace." Meng Zhi finally said.
Zhao Ruoli thought for a moment and then smiled: "Meng Zhi, as the leader of the Forbidden Army, you also know that His Majesty is very busy on weekdays, so there is no need to talk to him about such things."
Meng Zhi naturally heard the implication.
He immediately cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Your Highness the Princess!"
Then, he asked: "Your Highness, the eldest princess, this Xue Mu is indeed a talent. Do you want to recruit him? I can let him come to see you."
"No need." Zhao Ruoli shook his head: "If this is the case, there will be a gap in status from the beginning. He will definitely not speak out his true thoughts. I will find a way on my own."
"yes!"
"You should step back first."
"Yes! Her Royal Highness the Princess."
After leaving the eldest princess's palace, Meng Zhi also became thoughtful.
As the leader of the Forbidden Army, he should be responsible to His Majesty.
Now Concubine Wan Guifei in the harem secretly lets Xue Mu into the palace.
A few years ago, these two people would have been punished by death!
But now, His Majesty is incompetent.
It turned Daqing upside down.
Meng Zhi's life was saved by the eldest princess, so she must also save the people she wants to recruit!
So, starting from today.
The matter of Xue Mu entering the palace will be completely sealed.
No one knows.
now.
Xue Mu, who was sitting on the carriage, naturally had no idea that his whereabouts had been discovered.
He was thinking about what Wan Guifei Mo Xier wanted to do with him today.
However, what Xue Mu didn't expect was.
At this moment, Mo Xi'er was wearing a long gauze dress, and after wiping her red lips, she was anxiously waiting for his arrival.
Yes.
She misses a man.
In the past few years, she really missed men too much.
Today, she was going to have a taste of a normal man.
Naturally, Xue Mu would not have thought that half an hour later, he would have the emperor's woman.
