Xue Mu heard Nangong Xue mentioning the eldest princess, and asked curiously: "Sister Xue'er, do you know the eldest princess?"
Nangong Xue shook her head: "I don't know."
"Listening to your tone, I thought you knew you just now." Xue Mu asked deliberately.
Sure enough, Nangong Xue explained: "Although I don't know her, I have heard that she is the smartest woman in Daqing, and she often talks about policies that benefit the country and the people."
"It's rare for Sister Xue'er to praise someone without reservation." Xue Mu joked.
After hearing this, Nangong Xue looked at him: "Why do you say it's rare? It's as if I haven't praised you before."
"It seems that there really isn't." Xue Mu laughed.
"I already admit that you are my boyfriend, haven't I praised you?" Nangong Xue frowned.
Only then did Xue Mu realize it. He explained to Nangong Xue that a boyfriend meant a capable and smart man.
He quickly smiled and said: "Yes, yes, I am your boyfriend."
Nangong Xue didn't take it seriously when she saw his playful smile.
At this moment, a figure passed by quickly.
Xue Mu and Nangong Xue reacted immediately.
They thought there was a sneak attack.
Get ready for battle immediately.
Unexpectedly, the figure said on the other side of the wall: "Sir, go to Nanhua County quickly, someone is going to take action against Huang Haigui."
Xue Mu could tell that it was Liu Xiaodao's voice.
He immediately asked: "How do you know?"
"I'll tell you the specific details later, so hurry up."
"good."
After a while, the figure disappeared.
Nangong Xue looked at his movement skills and found that his Qing Gong was very similar to Xue Mu's, so she asked, "Could that person be your spy?"
"Yes." Xue Mu nodded: "Sir, he said that Huang Haigui is in danger. Someone probably wants to kill him and silence him. Let's go quickly."
"good."
After saying that, Nangong Xue looked at Zheng Jun and others: "You guys should follow quickly, Xue Qianhu and I will leave first."
"yes."
After a while, Xue Mu and Nangong Xue used Qinggong to quickly rush towards Nanhua County.
Although Xue Mu can't see, he can rely on Nangong Xue's position, hear the sound, and move quickly.
Nangong Xue is also worried that if he is a step slower, Huang Haigui's safety will be threatened.
So she couldn't help but speed up.
And the other side.
In the inner courtyard of the Yamen.
Huang Haigui was lying on the imperial chair, and the maids on both sides were fanning themselves.
One of them was holding a small plate and feeding him food.
Although his cousin was imprisoned, Huang Haigui was not worried at all.
Because he had already written to Lu Yuantong of the Ministry of Punishment yesterday.
As long as Lu Yuantong is stuck, there will be nothing the God Catcher can do against him.
Although Nanhua County is only a small county.
But the location is great.
The fields here have higher yields every season than in other counties.
This has also caused many officials to focus on the fields here.
Huang Haigui serves as the parent official of Nanhua County.
Naturally, I want to please the boss above.
So he asked his master to secretly divide the fields of the villagers, and finally donated the more than ten acres of fields to the people above.
Generally speaking, of the 10% money, you have to give 70% to your superiors, and you have to give 10% to your subordinates.
In the end, I got less than 20%.
Just like that, he still had to be scolded by those villagers.
This money is really hard to make.
However, there is a long way to go.
As long as you persist, you will definitely make a lot of money.
It's just that more than half a year ago, that guy Xu Jie came to investigate the matter of land taxation.
Huang Haigui was shocked by this.
Although Xu Jie is already the head of the Household Department, he once served as the Secretary of the Household Department.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse.
After all, he was also someone the emperor once trusted.
What if one day, he is called back to occupy an important position?
After finally getting rid of Xu Jie, he is now entangled by the people from the Divine Catcher Division.
"It's really troublesome."
Huang Haigui sighed.
Suddenly, he felt that the maids on both sides stopped shaking their fans.
So he responded: "What's wrong? Didn't you eat?"
But the servants on both sides did not respond.
Huang Haigui opened his eyes and wanted to teach these two maids a lesson.
As a result, they found that the two maids were already lying on the ground.
The neck was slashed.
Blood kept pouring out.
The appearance of death is extremely ugly.
He was startled.
He quickly jumped up from the Taishi chair.
Then the two people behind him held him down and came to him.
Huang Haigui was frightened when he saw it. He quickly asked: "Two heroes, who are you?"
"The person who wants your life." The two men covered their faces and wore black clothes. They were well prepared.
Huang Haigui was frightened. He said anxiously: "If you want money, I can give it to you, as long as you don't hurt me."
"Hand over the ledger," one of them said.
"What ledger?" Huang Haigui was a little confused.
At this time, another person pulled out a sharp knife and inserted it directly into Huang Haigui's thigh.
Huang Haigui cried out in pain: "Ahhhh!!"
"Tell me quickly, where is the ledger?"
"What kind of account book?" Huang Haigui covered his thigh, not knowing what they were talking about.
Another person finally reminded in a low voice: "The account book you submitted to the Ministry of Justice."
Upon hearing this, Huang Haigui immediately understood.
His face was full of surprise and fear, and he kept backing away, "You, you were sent by Lu Yuantong to kill me."
The man in black threatened: "As long as you hand over the account book, we will keep your family safe. If you don't hand it over, we will destroy the family."
The next second, he slashed Huang Haigui's leg again.
Huang Haigui's forehead was covered with sweat. He gritted his teeth and asked, "If I hand over the account book, you will let my wife and children go and never hurt them."
"Yes."
"Okay, I'll hand it over. It's under the third floor tile at the door of my room." Huang Haigui said, pointing to his room.
The two men in black looked at each other, and then one of them entered the room.
There is another person who is responsible for guarding Huang Haigui.
Once the ledger is confirmed correct.
He wanted to kill Huang Haigui personally.
But why would Huang Haigui sit still and wait for death?
He sees the right moment.
He pushed the man in black hard, and then ran towards the door of the inner courtyard, shouting: "Help, help."
However, there was no answer in the inner courtyard.
The man in black behind him immediately stood up. He held a sharp knife in his hand and cursed: "Looking for death."
With that said, he rushed over.
Huang Haigui fell to the ground after running two steps because of an injury on his leg.
He looked back at the man in black rushing over, very scared.
He quickly covered his face with his hands, not daring to take another look, and kept muttering: "Help, help."
It wasn't until a few seconds later that Huang Haigui slowly opened his eyes.
Only then did he realize that he was still alive.
He raised his head and saw the man in black fainting on the ground.
There were two more people beside him.
It's Nangong Xue and Xue Mu.
Huang Haigui immediately made a gesture of begging for mercy: "Master Nangong, Master Xue, please save the official, someone wants to kill me."
At this time, another man in black came out of the room.
Obviously, he got nothing.
Just when he was furious and wanted to question Huang Haigui, he saw his companions lying on the ground, as well as Shen Catuji and others.
The man in black immediately climbed up the wall and wanted to leave.
However, the next second, Xue Mu followed up with a shadowless step, and then knocked him down with a punch from the Thunder Fist.
On the other side of the outer wall, Zheng Jun and others were already waiting.
They caught the men in black one after another.
Huang Haigui looked at this scene and was very surprised.
Xue Mu is obviously a blind man.
How can you still fly over the walls?
Attack the opponent with such precision.
Without any time to think, Huang Haigui hurriedly came to Nangong Xue and begged for mercy: "Master Nangong, Lu Yuantong wants to kill me, and those are the killers they sent."
"How do you know?" Nangong Xue asked.
"They. They must be from the Ministry of Punishment. You will know as soon as you ask." Huang Haigui pointed at the man in black and said.
Not long after, the two men in black were tied up.
The man in black who had just been knocked unconscious also woke up at this time.
They saw things exposed.
After looking at each other, he finally made a decision.
Two seconds later, they vomited blood and died.
Zheng Jun and others were very surprised: "What on earth is going on?"
Xue Mu said calmly: "They hide poison in their mouths. Once the mission fails, they bite the poison and commit suicide."
When Huang Haigui saw them falling to the ground, vomiting blood, he couldn't help but cursed: "They deserve it, bah!"
Nangong Xue saw that he looked like a villain and stepped on his injured thigh.
Huang Haigui screamed in pain all of a sudden.
"Let me ask you, why are you so sure that Lu Yuantong sent a killer to kill you?" Nangong Xue asked.
Huang Haigui held his thigh and said with unbearable pain: "Because, because he is afraid that I will help them get out, he must eradicate the root cause."
"Then why didn't they kill you just now?" Xue Mu then asked.
Huang Haigui hesitated a little and seemed reluctant to answer.
Nangong Xue took a look and stepped on his leg again: "Are you going to tell me or not? If you don't tell us, then let's leave now. I can't guarantee that you will still die from the killer he sent tonight."
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, I'll tell you right now." Huang Haigui said anxiously: "It's because I will record all beneficial relationships in a ledger. The reason why they didn't kill me immediately was because they wanted me to say Where is the ledger? As long as I tell you the ledger, my family will be safe, otherwise, I will destroy them."
"Where is the account book?" Nangong Xue asked immediately.
Huang Haigui hesitated for a moment.
He didn't know whether he should hand over the ledger or not.
Xue Mu knew what he was thinking, and then said calmly: "The Divine Catcher Department is different from the Criminal Department. Anyone who has committed a crime and performed meritorious service can be punished as appropriate."
"Really?" Huang Haigui immediately became excited when he heard this.
"You can ask Master Nangong. She is the deputy commander. In the Divine Catcher Division, we usually listen to her." Xue Mu brought up Nangong Xue's name.
Nangong Xue finally nodded: "If you hand over the account book, I can protect you from death."
"Okay, I'll hand it over right now."
With that said, Huang Haigui stood up staggeringly.
"I'm warning you, don't play any tricks." Nangong Xue then looked at Zheng Jun: "Zheng Jun, take the people and get it with him."
"Okay, Lord Nangong."
In this way, Zheng Jun, Zhou Fu and others escorted Huang Haigui into the room.
During this process, Nangong Xue asked Xue Mu: "How many officials do you think will be involved this time? Is it necessary to report it to Mr. Lu?"
"After we look at the account books, we can explain the situation to Mr. Lu based on the actual situation. I'm afraid we can't decide on this matter." Xue Mu replied.
After hearing this, Nangong Xue nodded.
I have to say, working with him.
I don't need to use my brain much.
After all, Xue Mu took on most of the brainpower.
Thinking of this, Nangong Xue praised Xue Mu in her heart.
Now his strength is on par with his own, so now he is just a thousand households.
But presumably after some time, there will definitely be a better future.
Thinking of this, Nangong Xue also recalled what his aunt Nangong Wei once told her.
She once told herself to be nicer to Xue Mu. Only in this way would he have her in his heart.
So Nangong Xue said: "If you successfully obtain the account book today and arrest the relevant personnel back to Tianlao, it will be regarded as a meritorious service. Then I will personally cook and cook you some delicious food."
Hearing this, Xue Mu felt a little scared.
The last time he had Kung Pao Chicken, he already felt it was salty.
I don’t want to experience that feeling again.
But in order to take into account Nangong Xue’s face.
Xue Mu finally said: "Okay."
Nangong Xue thought that he was looking forward to her cooking skills, and then said: "Don't worry, I will make an extra portion of Kung Pao Chicken and put it in front of you. You can eat whatever you like."
"good."
Xue Mu couldn't help but feel a chill on his back.
After a while, Zheng Jun and others came out.
Zheng Jun held an account book in his hand and said to Xue Mu and Nangong Xue: "Sir, there is an account book."
"Okay, take Huang Haigui back to Tianlao, search the relevant personnel in the account book, and write them down one by one. I want Feige to pass a letter to Mr. Lu."
"yes."
Lu Yuantong was restless in the Ministry of Justice at this time.
He didn't know whether the account book was destroyed or not.
The name written most often is his.
If someone from the Divine Catcher Division discovers it in advance, it is very likely that he will be doomed.
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door.
He immediately opened the door and pulled the person outside the door in.
"How?" Lu Yuantong asked anxiously.
The man shook his head and said, "They didn't get the account book, but they were discovered by the people from the Divine Catcher Division."
"What about them? Have they escaped?"
"No, but he committed suicide by taking poison."
"That's good, at least it won't be traced to us."
At this time, the man hesitated and said: "But Huang Haigui is not dead, and it seems that he took the initiative to hand over the account book to the people of the Shenqi Division."
Hearing this, Lu Yuantong collapsed on the ground in fear.
He gasped for air.
"Huang Haigui, why is Huang Haigui not dead yet?"
Xue Mu, Nangong Xue and others returned to the Shenqi Division, intending to interrogate Huang Haigui immediately.
However, Pei Renfa immediately walked out and said to Nangong Xue, "Sir, someone is coming from the palace."
"What's wrong?"
Nangong Xue walked in immediately.
I found a father-in-law standing in the yard.
Nangong Xue looked familiar, recalling that this seemed to be Eunuch Cao, the chief steward of the palace.
When Eunuch Cao saw Nangong Xue, he immediately stepped forward and said, "The Sa family has met Mr. Nangong."
"Nangong Xue has met Eunuch Cao."
Xue Mu also responded: "Xue Mu, the Divine Catcher, has met Eunuch Cao."
"I didn't expect this to be Mr. Xue." Eunuch Cao looked at Xue Mu, looking up and down.
Xue Mu was a little surprised: "Eunuch Cao knows me?"
"The Sa family doesn't know you, but Concubine Mu in the palace mentioned you in front of the queen." Eunuch Cao said with a smile, "She said that you have the looks and talent, and that you are a perfect match for Mr. Nangong."
Hearing this, Nangong Xue was very embarrassed.
She hurriedly asked: "Eunuch Cao, I wonder if you have anything important to do here today?"
"I almost forgot about business." Eunuch Cao immediately explained: "There have been cats meowing in the harem at night recently."
"Cat meowing? Isn't this normal?" Xue Mu was a little confused.
"But every time there is a cat meowing at night, a palace maid or eunuch will always die in the palace. These days have caused people to panic. Some people say that the cat demon is seeking life. The queen ordered the old slave to come to the gods to catch the two men. An adult has come to the palace to handle the case."
Eunuch Cao's words made Xue Mu and Nangong Xue immediately realize the problem.
Then Nangong Xue looked at Zheng Jun and said: "Zheng Jun, you put Huang Haigui in prison. The account book must be kept well. No one can read it except me."
"yes."
Afterwards, Nangong Xue and Xue Mu followed Eunuch Cao into the palace.
On the way into the palace, Eunuch Cao reminded: "Master Nangong, Master Xue, we have to go to Concubine Wan Gui's bedroom first."
Xue Mu was stunned and asked, "Why?"
"Because the cat meowing last night was in the direction of Concubine Wan Gui's palace." Eunuch Cao explained.
Xue Mu's heart couldn't help but thump.
Could it be
Is Wan Guifei Mo Xier in danger?
On the other side, Mo Xier dipped the corner of her eyes with water, looked at the bronze mirror, made an expression, and tried her best to look frightened.
