Chapter 7: Life's Troubles

Gao Mansion, in the boudoir of Miss Gao.

The girl who was rescued by Hu Xiu during the day, with a cold face, sat in front of the mirror, playing with the veil she wore during the day.

"Xiaocui, how are you doing?"

"Miss, after Gongzi Hu left, I have already arranged for the people below to do it, and now it has begun to spread that Miss Gao was rescued by the son of Hu Wangfu's family."

"Because the envoys from the Wu Kingdom and the Zhou Kingdom came to worship, they are not allowed to stay overnight these days, so it may spread faster."

Xiao Cui, seeing that her master's face was still indifferent, hurriedly added.

"Okay."

The corners of Miss Gao's mouth curled slightly.

"This matter, you can do it, the method you gave to get close to Brother Hu Xiu is still useful, I won't punish you this time, I won't take back the shoes I gave you before, I will reward you."

"Thank you, miss."

Xiao Cui hurriedly thanked her, she knew that if these shoes were taken out and sold, they could be sold for at least twenty taels of silver.

"Go down, I'm going to rest."

"Yes."

Miss Gao's door was closed, Xiao Cui's face sank into the gloom, and the expression that had just been cautious instantly turned into a look of indifference.

……

"Childe, the place has arrived."

Turn left and right, this prince's mansion is really big, and this study is so far away from where he lives.

"Then the villain will go back first."

The little girl took off the clothes she was wearing and handed them to Hu Xiu.

"Where to go back, you said it yourself, and you will be my little servant in the future. Go in and stay with me. ”

"But..."

"What's the matter, it's all big men, twisting and pinching, I can still eat you."

"So where do I live?"

The little guy asked in a low voice, presumably even the mosquitoes made louder noises than his.

"Of course it's a partial room."

"Let's go inside."

Hu Xiu grabbed his arm and dragged him inside.

He lives in an independent courtyard, in addition to where Hu Xiu lives, there are two side houses.

"This house with lights still on should be the house where Camellia lives."

Facing the gate of the courtyard is Hu Xiu's master bedroom, there is a house on the left and right, and the one with the lights on the left is on the left.

"Bang Bang Bang~"

"Who is it?"

Hu Xiu walked to the door, knocked a few times, and vaguely saw a man in red get up and walked to the door.

"Hu Xiu."

I don't dare to talk too much, for fear of talking too much.

"Hu Gongzi?"

The door opened, and a wave of heat rushed towards her, and the woman who opened the door stood there dignifiedly, her face was not the snake spirit face that Hu Xiu expected, but a little rounded. is a goose egg face, and the facial features are not very three-dimensional, but between the eyebrows, the special gentle charm makes people itch.

Hu Xiu remembered a sentence on the Internet in his previous life: she didn't do anything, just stood there, and you loved it.

……

"Childe, please come inside, if you have a party, it won't be warm inside."

"Uh-oh."

Hu Xiu rubbed his face, sobered up, followed by a small servant, and walked in.

Just now, my face was embarrassed, I stood at the door, I didn't say anything, I stared at the girl in a daze, and I almost smiled stupidly.

"Childe, do you want tea?"

"Yes."

This body is really a little cold, to be precise, it started to be cold halfway through, and the little guy kept asking him if he was cold all the way, and he was embarrassed to ask for his clothes back.

"Childe, please wait a moment."

Camellia turned around and took out a set of tea sets from the back screen, these teacups, teapots, tea bowls, tea cups, tea saucers, and a few other things I couldn't tell what they were.

"Camellia Girl can also make tea?"

"Childe didn't see the slave family for a day, but he changed his mind, and even forgot what I was best at."

Camellia's slender eyes glanced at the man in front of her.

Hu Xiu choked in his heart, how did this woman practice this seductive technique, even rolling her eyes was so pitiful, people couldn't bear to blame.

"Hehe, how could it be."

……

"Camellia girl, do you have anything to eat?"

Hu Xiu put down the hot teacup, he was a little hungry in his belly, how did the ancients suffer from hunger when they had two meals a day, morning food and feeding?

"There are some snacks in the house, do you want to eat them, Childe?"

"Yes."

It wasn't Hu Xiu who made the noise, it was the little guy standing beside him.

He was also hungry for a day, so he asked Hu Xiu to get up in the morning, and the morning food was probably delayed, and he didn't eat this food.

He toiled and accompanied his master for a day. There is no benefit.

When Camellia heard Xiaowu's words, she didn't make the next move, just stared at Hu Xiu quietly, and saw that he nodded slightly, so she turned to the back screen, it should be to get a snack.

"Put it on the table."

Hu Xiu pointed to the low table in front of him, all the desks in this world are so short.

"Yes, Childe."

Camellia obediently put the plate full of snacks on the table.

It makes it feel so good to call a beautiful woman......

The dim sum in front of me looks small, a bit like a small mooncake in the previous life.

"Camellia girl, what kind of snack is this, so sweet."

Hu Xiu picked up two, one stuffed into his mouth, and the other handed it to the little guy.

I swallowed the dates, didn't taste them, but still tasted the sweetness.

"Childe, it's an osmanthus shortbread."

The little guy twisted and bit half of the snack and handed it to Hu Xiu to look at.

"Yes, this maid is right, son, this is osmanthus cake."

Camellia was robbed, and she didn't get angry, but continued to follow the words of the little girl.

"Xiao Fan, have you eaten this before?"

"I used to eat ...... when I was a child"

Xiao Xiao lowered his head, not daring to continue to look into Hu Xiu's eyes.

Hu Xiu stopped making a sound, he ate more than half of the osmanthus shortbread on the table, and he had a little fullness.

"You eat the rest, I'll go back first."

“……”

The remaining two seemed to be a little frightened, didn't dare to ask, and silently watched their son-in-law walk out.

"Alas~"

Tilting his head, Hu Xiu looked at the mellow moon in the sky and the stars in the night sky, and sighed.

This little guy has something to hide from him, and it seems to be very important, maybe it may be related to him.

At night, Hu Xiu lay on the bed, tossing and turning and unable to sleep.

"you, this pillow is stiff too."

The pillow was thrown out in a graceful arc.

The mood was a little irritable, not only because the little guy had something to say to him, but more importantly, he wanted to go back, to return to the world with his father, his mother, and his friends......

He doesn't have the slightest sense of belonging here, he doesn't belong here. He thinks too much during the day, he can't do it, what he says, there is no trouble......

Hehe~ Is it possible?

"Alas, get up, get up, investigate the case, investigate the case."

Since you can't sleep in bed, it's better to get up and do something to distract yourself.

Hu Xiu wrapped up the quilt, got off the bed barefoot.

"Rub ~ wipe ~ This floor is so cold."

On tiptoe, he hurried to the desk, which was as short as ever.

"There's a fire fold."

I groped around the table, and there was a long, round object on it.

"Whew~"

As soon as he blew it, a fire appeared, and he took it and lit the wick of the oil lamp on the table.

The surroundings instantly lit up a lot.

He took out a booklet from the bed, which was the case given to him by the dead ghost father.

"At the end of the day, he found the body of Lord Wei and asked Mrs. Wei, and the last person to see him was the envoy of the Zhou State, Chen Li. Now the post house has been fenced, and Chen Li's room was searched, and a piece of bloodstained clothing was found. ”

"That's a perk... The evidence of the murder has been found, should I just go and arrest someone? ”

Hu Xiu looked at the content of this booklet last time, just a little bit, and the evidence has already shown that this Chen Li is the most suspicious.

"Heh, it shouldn't be that simple, I don't believe that old man is so kind that he will give me a half-solved case."

Feeling bored, Hu Xiu tightly wrapped the quilt on his body and lay on the desk.

"Click~"

It seemed to be pressed against a bulge on his arm, and he pressed it down.

"Ka~Ka~"

As if there was a chain reaction, a book wrapped in gold leather emerged from the desk.

"! High-tech! ”

Hu Xiu was shocked, there is a mechanism in this table? But this table is a thin layer, the thickness of this book is not much different from it, but it can be perfectly integrated, and the wisdom in this should not be underestimated.

I took the book and touched the cover, this metallic texture, it won't be thickened with gold.

Turn to the first page.

"The first time I handled the case, I went to the Yamen to intercept a theft case, I went to Da Niu Village, and I caught someone that night, so happy, haha~"

"There were people abducting and selling women in the city, and the yamen couldn't catch anyone for two days, so I intercepted the case again. It so happened that night when I sneaked out, I saw a man knocking a woman unconscious and throwing her into a cloth bag, so I followed him and saw many women being locked up. I got into a fight with the boss inside, and we punched him to the ground, and rescued them all with locks, and they all said that I was a big hero, and I was very happy, but the nurse died, and I was still very sad......"

“……”

“……”

"I'll go, it turns out that this kid in the original body is so powerful and has handled so many cases. Although it's not particularly big, it adds up to a lot, and most of this book has been written. ”

Hu Xiu turned back page by page, and all of them were written about the cases he handled, including robbery, theft, and abduction......

These cases have one thing in common, most of them are women who are in difficulty and report the case, and this master will solve it.

"This kid, what did you think at the time, you want to make yourself a heartthrob and make women love it?"

Hu Xiu is quite puzzling, only intercepting cases related to women, is he too precocious, or is there any special reason?

"Alas, it's time for the last case, it's Hua Sixteen..."

"Recently, there have been many girls in the city who have been ruined, and the perpetrator is Hua Sixteen, this person has achieved light work, and he is a fourth-order master. At the beginning, the original name was Hua Yi, but every time a woman was thin, a number was added up. ”

"The sins he has committed are unforgivable. But this person's whereabouts are unpredictable, and I can't find him, so I have no choice but to use the power left by my mother, the Shadow Pavilion. ”

"The guards were helping me check his whereabouts, and they told me as soon as they found out about his whereabouts. She was actually in the Qinglou and was a thin woman, and I killed it with the Qingluan sword. Fortunately, the good news came quickly, and I was in time. This Hua Sixteen ran away when he saw me, although he was good at light skills, but I was a fifth-order master, and soon, I caught up with him and restrained my hands. ”

"I wanted to close the case, throw him into the Linglong Pavilion prison, and imprison him for life. But the Dark Guard told me that he had been to the inn during the day. There are foreign envoys living in this inn now, what is he going to do? I felt weird, so I deliberately let him go on the way to escort him, and gave him the illusion that he had escaped on his own. ”

"However, there is a mistake, the woman I saved in the Qinglou bought herself with money, took the contract to me, and insisted on being my servant, although I didn't like it, I didn't like to talk nonsense, so I let me live in the room next to me and feed her every day."

"This flower sixteen was released by me, but I was still restless, and I went to pick flowers again on the first night of the release, but fortunately I stopped it. Then I deliberately let him go again, and during the day the next day, I followed him to watch him change into the clothes worn by the next person, and mixed into the post house. ”

"I saw that he was talking to a person, I didn't see the person's face, he was wearing blue clothes, he was very thin, a little tall, and he came out with a cup of tea, and I felt that there was nothing to check, so I grabbed him, broke his hands and feet, and sent him to Linglong Pavilion."

……

"So that's the case, this flower sixteen is weird enough, go to the Qinglou to rape, strongman."

Hu Xiuzai looked at this last case carefully, and it was again, there seemed to be a very important detail in it, Hua Sixteen met a person wearing "blue clothes" and "tall and thin" in the post house.
