Not long after, Nangong Kui arrived late.
He was tall, with a cold and feminine face. He strode straight into the tent, passed the crowd and paid homage to Princess Lanling: "Meet your Highness the Princess."
Princess Lanling nodded slowly. Since the situation was urgent, she no longer delayed and immediately asked him to take over the case of "Ten thousand Liao troops disappeared at the same time".
Everyone turned to look at Nangong Kui.
Including Su Xian.
Everyone prayed secretly in their hearts: "Nangong Kui, please agree and take over this case quickly!"
Nangong Kui's expression remained unchanged, and her feminine face was completely cold, giving people a feeling that strangers should not approach her.
His eyes moved slightly, and he slowly bowed and said:
"Princess Rong, although the official is the third arrester of the Prison Division, he is not very good at investigating cases... Besides, there is a woman in Yingzhou City right now, whose ability in investigating cases is far better than that of the official!"
"The lower official recommends this woman!"
"..."
When Princess Lanling heard this, her beautiful eyebrows condensed slightly, and then relaxed. She already knew the answer in her heart, but she still asked: "Who is the person recommended by the three arrests?"
"The daughter of the governor of Yingzhou, Tang Shujing!" Nangong Kui replied.
"..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole tent fell into a brief silence.
Immediately there was a heated discussion:
"Tang Shujing, it's her!"
"Yes, this woman is very good at investigating cases. The flower picking thief who committed evil crimes was not arrested by the various state governments. Even Nangong Kui returned without success."
"But this Tang Shujing, she actually caught the flower picker..."
"Her Royal Highness the Princess once praised this girl as 'a woman who is not inferior to men'!"
"..."
Su Xian was at the back of the crowd, thinking to himself:
"Leave such a big case to her, I'm afraid Tang Shujing will laugh when she wakes up... But, she... I'm afraid she will have to lend Zhilan to her..."
Soon, everyone's heated discussion gradually weakened, and the big tent returned to silence.
Everyone looked at Princess Lanling.
Let's see how she decides.
Princess Lanling raised her eyes, glanced at Su Xian who was at the back of the crowd, and thought to herself:
"The reason why Tang Shujing was able to detect the case of the flower picker was because of Su Xian's help. Although I don't know why Su Xian refused to take over the case, but..."
"If this case is handed over to Tang Shujing, there is no way Su Xian will secretly help!"
"..."
Princess Lanling glanced sideways at Nangong Kui again, and finally made a decision:
"Since the three arrests recommended Tang Shujing, the case will be handed over to Tang Shujing with full authority to investigate. Come, go to Yingzhou City to invite Tang Shujing."
"yes!"
Some people turned and left the camp.
As soon as this person left, another person was already waiting outside the tent to see him. He was a personal guard of the princess's palace.
The princess ordered him to come in.
The guard said to him:
"Princess, the second arrester of the Prison Department, 'Thousand-faced Fox', has arrived at the camp gate and requests to see Her Royal Highness!"
"What did you say?"
"..."
Princess Lanling couldn't help but stand up after hearing this, with a surprised look on her face: "Has the second catcher 'Thousand-faced Fox' arrived?"
Without waiting for the guard to reply, Princess Lanling looked sideways at Nangong Kui and asked, "Third Catcher, didn't you say last time that the Second Catcher was far away in Shu?"
Nangong Kui bowed his head and replied:
"Princess Qi, the whereabouts of the second arrester are uncertain. I guess he received a letter from his subordinate, so he rushed over to help!"
"Okay, haha, very good!"
Princess Lanling laughed happily, her charming face was like a bright peony in bloom, dazzling, and it was obvious that she was really happy.
Just listen to her continue to say: "I need the help of the second catcher, I will definitely be able to solve the case, hahahahaha, come on, please bring the second catcher in quickly!"
"yes!"
The bodyguard turned around and left the tent.
Everyone couldn't help but turn their heads to watch his back.
Su Xian also turned his head and watched, while at the same time, the information about the second arrest of the Prison Department's chief emerged in his mind——
As the second arrester of the Prison Department, this person is good at investigating cases. All kinds of unsolved, difficult and mysterious cases can be solved almost as long as they are in the hands of this person.
Because he has an innate skill - disguise.
This is the "Thousand Faces" in his nickname "Thousand-faced Fox"!
Legend has it that the Thousand-Faced Fox can transform into hundreds of people in one day, and is extremely skilled in the art of disguise. He can disguise himself as a young man, an old man, a girl, or a young woman, and his appearance is extremely lifelike.
In addition, there is also the word "fox" in his nickname "Thousand-Faced Fox". He is as alert and cunning as a fox, which is also one of the abilities of the Thousand-Faced Fox.
In addition to these two items, Thousand-faced Fox also studies various crime-solving techniques.
In this way, the three-pronged approach of disguise, cleverness and cunning, as well as refined crime-solving skills, made the Thousand-Faced Fox the pinnacle of crime-solving in the entire Liang Dynasty.
No one can beat it!
This man is so powerful, no wonder Princess Lanling was so happy when she heard that he had arrived... Su Xian felt a little unhappy, as if she had been abandoned by Princess Lanling, and then she was "looking for a new love".
But then Su Xian shook his head again, secretly cursing himself for thinking too much.
But--
After watching the personal guard leave the tent, Su Xian turned around and met the two eyes of Princess Lanling directed at him.
These two sets of eyes seemed to carry a faint dissatisfaction...
After looking at each other for a brief moment, Princess Lanling withdrew her gaze and looked away.
Su Xian twitched the corner of his mouth slightly. He didn't know why Princess Lanling looked like this, making Su Xian seem to have deceived her. This made him confused.
But the dissatisfaction in Princess Lanling's eyes was real.
Su Xian finally smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly, thinking:
"Forget it, let her go. The princess is a woman after all, and sometimes she likes to be petty, but at the same time, she is also a princess of the Liang Dynasty, and she will not hate me for such a trivial matter..."
"..."
Having said that, Su Xian felt a little unhappy when he thought of Princess Lanling's happy smile when she heard that the Thousand-Faced Fox had arrived.
Hey, that’s all!
…
After a while, the second arrester of the prison department, Thousand-Faced Fox, arrived.
Qianmianhu took the case without any hesitation.
At this time, Wang Sima suddenly asked: "The princess has just handed over the case to Tang Shujing, now..."
Princess Lanling thought for a moment and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it's better to have a two-pronged approach, and I will also reward the person who first solved the case!"
"..."
The proceedings are over.
Everyone dispersed.
Su Xian walked around the camp and saw that nothing happened, so he yawned and walked towards the gate of the camp, preparing to return to the city to catch up on his sleep.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the camp gate, Su Xian saw Tang Shujing getting on her horse.
"Miss Tang!" Su Xian greeted warmly and walked over with a smile.
"Brother?" Tang Shujing had just mounted her horse and was about to ride back to the city. She turned back and looked at Su Xian with some surprise.
"Have you met the princess?"
"I've seen it before."
"Are you confident in this case?"
"Brother, I still have a lot of things to do, so I'll take my leave first! Come on! Come on!"
"..."
Tang Shujing seemed a little impatient. She turned back with her sharp and fair face, clamped her legs around the horse's belly and was about to gallop away.
The smile on Su Xian's face disappeared immediately.
Before Tang Shujing sped away, Su Xian said coldly: "Zhilan once told me that she never wants to help you catch thieves again!"
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
"Driving...what...what?"
Tang Shujing had already ridden ten feet away on horseback. When she heard this, she immediately reined in her horse and turned around with a look of shock on her face, as if something extremely important was about to be lost.
Su Xian looked up in surprise, looked at Tang Shujing on the horse, waved his hand indifferently and said:
"Miss Tang, don't you have to be busy? Go and get busy. Don't pay attention to me. My brother is also going back."
"..."
