Huang Haigui's case ended with the bribery of Lu Yuantong, the minister of punishment, and the case was closed.
Both Xue Mu and Nangong Xue knew that there must be someone behind Lu Yuantong, even though Nanhua County was only a small county.
But it is close to the capital.
Therefore, if you want to control the situation in the capital, surrounding control must also be in place.
The smart Xue Mu even thought that this might be a competition between princes.
There may also be the possibility of the eldest princess.
So when Nangong Xue asked to continue the investigation, Xue Mu persuaded her not to continue the investigation.
As for the follow-up to this case, Lu Jianghe rushed back from the Jianghuai area in a hurry to take charge of the overall situation.
He also said that the case of Huang Haigui is over.
If the investigation continues, I'm afraid the entire Divine Catcher Division will be in trouble.
Although Nangong Xue was a little sad, she also knew that once the Divine Catcher Division offended the forces in the court, even the emperor's Divine Catcher Division organization would be suppressed.
Nangong Xue also finally chose to give up.
Huang Haigui was also transferred to the Ministry of Punishment.
Logically speaking, the execution should wait until the beginning of spring.
However, this case was treated specially.
He actually applied for the execution of Huang Haigui three days later.
In other words, there are people in the Ministry of Punishment who want Huang Haigui to never speak.
If something like this happens, generally speaking, the family will be affected.
And Xue Mu also promised Huang Haigui to protect his family.
Therefore, before Huang Haigui went to the execution ground, he knelt down and bowed down to Xue Mu.
"Your Majesty's great kindness, my subordinates will not be able to repay you in this life. I can only work as a cow or a horse in the next life to repay you."
Huang Haigui banged his head three times and said goodbye to Xue Mu.
Xue Mu also knew that once someone discovered something like this, the death penalty would be inevitable.
The only thing that can make a difference is to save his family.
So he said: "Don't worry, your family is fine."
In this way, Huang Haigui was transferred to the Ministry of Punishment.
After Huang Haigui's case was over, Lu Jianghe also approached Xue Mu and Nangong Xue.
"When I was in Jianghuai and other places, I already heard about the cat demon incident in the palace. How are you handling it now?" Lu Jianghe asked.
Nangong Xue was the first to answer: "Reporting to Mr. Lu, Xue Mu and I have been searching for clues in the palace for the past two days, but we have not encountered anything unusual."
After hearing this, Lu Jianghe nodded, and he immediately explained: "This cat demon case is extraordinary, but it is a case appointed by the queen. You must handle this case well."
Xue Mu and Nangong Xue also accepted the order and said: "Yes, sir, I will go all out."
After walking out of Lu Jianghe's room, Nangong Xue asked Xue Mu: "What do you think about the cat demon case?"
"I think someone must have done it on purpose." Xue Mu replied.
"I think so too." Nangong Xue nodded.
Then she looked at Xue Mu and invited: "I have learned a new dish in the past two days. Do you want to try it?"
Xue Mu suddenly remembered the Kung Pao Chicken from last time. The salty taste still makes him "unable to return".
But because of Nangong Xue's face, he had no choice but to say: "Since it is Sister Xueer's kind invitation, I will definitely have a taste."
"Okay, then you wait for me here, and I'll go to the kitchen to cook for you." Nangong Xue said and walked happily to the kitchen.
Not long after, a piece of black fish appeared in front of Xue Mu.
Although Xue Mu couldn't see clearly what was in front of him at this point, he could already smell the obvious burning smell through the smell.
Nangong Xue said excitedly from the side: "You should try it quickly."
Xue Mu was a little embarrassed. He didn't know how to use the chopsticks.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally picked up the chopsticks and picked them up carefully.
Nangong Xue saw how hard he was picking up, so she immediately grabbed his hand, helped him pick up a large piece of fish, and brought it to Xue Mu: "Come on, eat quickly~"
"Okay, Sister Xue'er, I'll do it myself." Xue Mu smelled it first and finally put it in his mouth.
At that moment, he seemed to feel that this was the most indescribable fish he had ever eaten in his life.
Xue Mu even regretted why he didn't tell her face to face when Nangong Xue made Kung Pao Chicken for the first time. Now she is full of confidence.
The fish meat was burnt and mushy, and the salt seemed to be sprinkled on it for free, and it even felt bitter.
Nangong Xue asked curiously from the side: "How is it?"
Xue Mu could only interview Sister Xueer awkwardly: "Have you tried it?"
"I haven't tasted it yet, so I thought about giving it to you first. After all, this is made for you." Nangong Xue said sheepishly.
Xue Mu couldn't bear to ruin Nangong Xue's enthusiasm, so he had to say: "There is a lot of room for improvement. I believe you can do better next time."
Hearing this, Nangong Xue also felt satisfied: "Although I grilled it a bit mushy this time, I feel that the taste of this fish is also unique. Since you like to eat this fish, that's great. I will try it more in the future." I’ll make a few servings for you to try.”
When Xue Mu saw this, he could only say: "Okay, I will eat it when I am hungry. Then I will take this fish home first."
Nangong Xue also agreed: "Okay, then you can take it back, and be sure to remember to eat it."
Then Xue Mu took the basket and ran away.
Nangong Xue saw a piece of fish falling on the table and thought not to waste it. It happened to be that she could have a taste of it.
So she picked up the chopsticks and took a bite.
At first, she was full of confidence, thinking that this must be comparable to restaurant food.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered her mouth, she spit it out the next second.
"Why is it so salty?" Nangong Xue spit it out all of a sudden and couldn't help but complain.
"But I obviously made it according to the master of the Shenqu Division chef." Then she rushed to the kitchen anxiously and asked about the fish.
Xue Mu carried the fish back.
He knew that if he took it back, Xu Ruyan would definitely ask where the fish came from.
After thinking about it, he decided to throw the fish away.
It’s not that he doesn’t respect the fruits of Nangong Xue’s labor.
But this fish is really unpalatable.
He just couldn't swallow it.
Just when he was about to throw it in the corner, a mother and son immediately followed.
It can be seen that they must have fled to the capital.
Xue Mu listened to the movement and quickly explained: "This fish is very unpalatable, don't eat it."
But the mother-in-law handed the portion of fish to the ten-year-old child, then kowtowed and thanked him: "Thank you, sir. It's okay. We can eat it."
The ten-year-old child took a bite and immediately handed the fish to his mother: "Mom, this fish is delicious."
"Then eat more quickly." the woman urged.
"Mom, you can eat too."
"No, just eat. Mom is not hungry."
Hearing these words, Xue Mu finally stopped.
He took out some silver coins from his pocket and said to the woman, "Take the child to find a place to rest and buy some food."
When the woman saw it, she immediately kowtowed and said, "Thank you, my benefactor, thank you."
Xue Mu shook his head and left immediately.
He knew that his money should allow the mother and son to spend a good time.
But what the future holds, no one knows.
Nowadays, there are thousands of mother and son situations like this in Daqing Dynasty.
Xue Mu didn't understand why the emperor of Daqing did nothing.
Thinking of this, he would think of Leng Mei's previous behavior.
Every time she met these people, she would give them all the money and food she had on her body.
"I don't know where Mei'er has gone."
Xue Mu sighed.
On the other side, Leng Mei has returned to Daxia.
Hongyuan walked outside the palace and said to Shangguan Wan, "Your Majesty, Sister Yilan wants to see you."
"Yilan?" Shangguanwan, who was correcting official documents, looked at Hongyuan in surprise and asked, "She is back from Daqing?"
"Yes."
"Let her in quickly." Shangguan Wan didn't care about the book on hand, put it aside, stood up, and went to find his good sister.
After Leng Mei walked in, she immediately knelt on the ground and then said: "Your Majesty, long live my emperor."
"Yilan, let's not talk about this. Please get up quickly." Shangguan Wan waved his hand.
Leng Mei stood up and looked at Shangguan Wan.
Shangguan Wan was also observing, and then said distressedly: "Yilan, you have lost weight."
"Your Majesty has also lost weight." Leng Mei also replied.
"Isn't it difficult to live in Daqing?" Shangguan Wan asked.
Leng Mei shook her head: "Fortunately, with Master Jiang and the others taking care of her, Yilan can complete the task."
"Then do you have anything important to discuss with me when you come back this time?" As Shangguanwan who grew up together, she naturally understood that unless there was something urgent, Yilan would not come back easily.
Sure enough, Leng Mei said: "Your Majesty, Yilan has never asked your Majesty for anything, but Yilan hopes that your Majesty can agree to the request of the minister."
"What's the matter? Tell me." Shangguan asked politely.
"I want to cross out the name Xue Mu from the undercover list." Leng Mei stood up and said seriously.
Shangguan Wan was a little surprised.
She had read a lot of the name Xue Mu in official documents.
Previously, he brought down Zuo Yuheng, then accidentally eliminated the head of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and then solved the case of Song Yuanjie, the minister of the Ministry of War.
It can be said that in the undercover mission.
Xue Mu did an excellent job.
But now, Leng Mei asked herself to cross Xue Mu off the undercover list.
This made Shangguan Wan puzzled.
So she asked: "Why?"
Leng Mei explained: "Xue Mu didn't know that he was an undercover agent from the beginning to the end, and it was always arranged by us. The undercover agents we have placed in Daqing are enough, and we don't need Xue Mu as a chess piece."
"But wouldn't the more chess pieces be better?" Shangguan Wan asked back.
Leng Mei didn't know how to explain it for a moment, so she could only stand there and hesitate.
At this time, Shangguan Wan said: "Because you like him, right?"
Leng Mei remained silent, which also surprised Hong Yuan, the maid next to Shangguan Wan.
It can be said that the three of them grew up together.
She knew very well what kind of character Leng Mei was.
Leng Mei's family was killed by soldiers from Daqing and she served her country with loyalty.
So Leng Mei vowed to overthrow that dog emperor of Daqing.
Before such a great undertaking is completed, she will not have other thoughts.
But now, Leng Mei came all the way back to Daxia from Daqing in order to plead for Xue Mu and remove him from the undercover list.
This actually surprised Hong Yuan.
Shangguan Wan naturally understood the reason after this simple inquiry.
She looked at Leng Mei, who had her head lowered, and sighed: "I want to see what kind of man can make my Yilan fascinated."
"He" Leng Mei faltered: "He is a blind man who cannot see."
"If you can't even see him, he makes you come back all the way. He must have his own charm."
Shangguanwan immediately turned around and returned to the stage.
He picked up the pen, wrote a few words, and handed the fold to Hongyuan.
Then he looked at Leng Mei and said, "If you like him, then this will help you. If you show this to Mr. Jiang, he will remove Xue Mu from the undercover list."
Leng Mei was very surprised when she heard this.
She immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will definitely serve Daxia with all my heart."
"Okay, don't say these words. We are all sisters." Shangguan Wan waved her hand and asked her to come forward: "Quick, tell me how you met?"
Hearing this, Leng Mei also became shy.
She stepped forward and, somewhat embarrassed, told her everything she had experienced with Xue Mu.
At this moment, Shangguan Wan didn't look like the Empress of Great Xia at all, but looked like a crowd eating melons.
"Is he so powerful?" Shangguan Wan asked in surprise.
Leng Mei explained at this time: "Your Majesty, you are inexperienced and may not understand the charm of men."
"He's really good."
Speaking of this, Shangguan Wan became curious.
This man just has more tricks, what's the difference?
Let me tell you, the reason why I stopped updating one day in the past two days is because it was sunny these days. It was the first time for me to be sunny. I thought I was a proud man of heaven, but it turned out
39.2, went directly to the hospital.
In the hospital, I was typing words and getting infusions at the same time, and then the nurse forced me not to play with my mobile phone.
I am still in a yang state at the moment, and I will try my best to recover and write as much as possible when the time comes.
