Chapter 5: The Assassins

The moon shadow is cold.

The shadows of the trees are swaying.

The sound of cicadas chirping.

Wisps of green smoke rose from the Fushou Palace.

Several little palace maids squatted on the ground in a brazier, burning yellow paper scriptures.

Although there were many people in the courtyard, everyone was careful and cautious, and did not dare to make the slightest abnormal noise.

Miao Miaomiao squatted in the grass, staring at this group of palace maids and eunuchs.

She can be considered to understand, even the Queen Mother took the lead in burning paper in the middle of the night, and other people still need to say it?

Fish begins to rot from the head.

This palace rule is just for putting on a show.

It's just that this old woman burns paper to pay tribute to who she wants to pay tribute to?

At this moment, a gust of wind blew, and a piece of paper full of scriptures was scraped into her face.

Sanskrit?

Tearing off the paper and looking at the words on it, she felt a headache.

It's really hard for her little kitten......

If it's easy to speak in English, it's really hard to speak Sanskrit......

I don't know if Si Yubai understands it or not.

Miao Miaomiao thought of this, so she picked up the paper and ran out of Fushou Palace.

……

Stargazing platform.

When Si Yubai came back from Zichen Palace, he saw a black cat lying under the armillary sphere, and there was a piece of paper under her.

"Didn't the teacher let you go back? Why did you run out again? The man pulled the scripture from under her, "What is this?" ”

"I'm going to be killed, if I don't turn back into a cat, I'll be cold!"

"Afterlife Curse?" Si Yubai ignored the roar of his apprentice, and his eyes were full of scriptures on this piece of paper.

"Huh? Master, do you know this word? ”

"What are you doing with this?"

"I got it from the Queen Mother, and Fushou Palace was burning this thing in the middle of the night, so I came with it."

"That old woman in Fushou Palace, she did all the things she lacked virtue in her early years, but she likes to engage in these things when she is old......"

As soon as the man's hand was released, the piece of paper was picked up by the wind and circled down the stargazing platform.

In her early years, the queen mother was still a talented person who had just entered the palace.

After the death of the first queen, in order to ascend to the throne, she was scheming.

has exhausted the terrifying means of the harem, and there are rumors in the market that the current emperor's biological mother was also killed by her.

Killing the mother and taking the child, this is why the mother is more expensive than the son, and the son protects the mother.

Although the incident of twenty years ago was so lightly understated by her master, and she finished it in three or two sentences, Miao Miaomiao also knew that there was no fuel-efficient lamp in this deep palace.

A man and a cat stood on the stargazing platform and looked into the distance, silent for a long time.

"In vain."

"Hmm."

"You just said you were assassinated?"

"Oh my God...... Master, can your reflex arc be a little longer?! ”

……

As soon as Si Yubai heard Miao Miaomiao's exaggerated account of being assassinated, he immediately took the black cat and took advantage of the night to leave the palace.

This task is too dangerous, so you can't do it anymore, so hurry up and pack up and run away!

When Miao Miaomiao asked where to run?

The man jumped out of the sentence "wandering the world" without thinking, which scared Miao Miaomiao out of her mind.

Feelings are not ready to go anywhere.

When the master and apprentice arrived at the gate of Si Yu's mansion, they stopped.

The ground was messy with blood, and there was a pair of bloody handprints on the door!

"Something happened, Master......" Miao Miaomiao sniffed, making sure it was blood, not paint, "It seems that someone doesn't want you to go yet......"

"Don't crow's mouth...... The blood is still so fresh, this man must have just arrived...... I don't know which one dares to put a handprint on the door of my Great Siyu Mansion! ”

Si Yubai pushed the door and entered the door aggressively.

The blood dripped from the doorway all the way to the inner courtyard.

"Good ...... Master...... This man has shed so much blood, I'm afraid it's going to be over...... An nameless corpse was found in Da Siyu's mansion, and this matter is a big trouble! ”

Wouldn't they be considered to have absconded in fear of sin?

Following the bloodstains, the master and apprentice came to the door.

"Good! How dare you hide here! The man kicked the door open, "Stay away!" Other...... How are you?! ”

"Lean ......"

Miao Miaomiao and Si Yubai were startled by the bloodied man sitting on the ground, and they thought their eyes were dazzled when they stayed in place.

Si Detective Xing smiled bitterly: "You guys are here...... I didn't think I could make it this far......"

With that, he vomited a mouthful of blood.

"Apprentice, you go get the hemostatic medicine, the second compartment in the first row of the cabinet." Si Yubai immediately stepped forward to check his wounds, "Have you taken the Life-Sustaining Pill?" ”

“……”

Looking at the empty medicine bottles on the ground, he yelled with a crying voice: "Who told you to eat so much?!" ”

Miao Miaomiao was so frightened by the sudden roar that she almost fell off the top of the cabinet.

Obedient......

Looking at her master's reaction, this life-sustaining pill definitely has strong side effects, and eating too much is likely to be life-threatening!

The extremes of things must be reversed!

She understands everything.

And Si Yubai always opposes Si Detective Xing on the surface, but in fact, the two of them ......

"Do you know how expensive the Life Renewal Pill is?! It took me seven seven and forty-nine days to refine one!! You can eat it all for me at once! ”

Si Yubai roared in distress, almost knocking the roof over.

Miao Miaomiao rubbed her ears, how is this different from what she thought......

She underestimated how much her master cherished money.

Due to taking the Life-Sustaining Pill, after some examination, Si Detective Xing's original fatal injuries are now fine.

But because of taking the Life Renewal Pill, he is now overloaded with qi and blood, his whole body is hot, and the whole person is constantly vomiting blood.

"Master......" Miao Miaomiao looked at the man who vomited blood with some uneasiness, "Do you think he will spit and burp when he vomits?" ”

"It's okay. This guy stole so much life-sustaining pills for his teacher, and spit out a few catties of blood to cheapen him! ”

Si Yubai held the small porcelain bottle containing the Life-Sustaining Pill, and looked at it with distressed eyes: "The silver taels that are now for the teacher are not enough to refine two...... Forty-three! Eat it all! ”

After that, he covered his chest and made a "Xi Shi heart" shape.

"Ahem...... Si Detective Xing vomited for a few bites, but finally relieved, "I'll give you as much silver as you want...... It's okay to take the Detective's Mansion away......"

Miao Miaomiao heard it, this person is really generous!

gave out all his mansions, this time Si Yubai can be smooth, right?

thought that her master could relax, but Si Yubai "spit" and glared at him angrily: "Don't think that I don't know that the person who wants to kill you is the person from your Si Detective Mansion!" You still want me to pick up this mess, but there is no door! ”

"The people from the Detective's Office...... Want to kill Si Detective Xing?! The black cat glared at the confused eyes, "What are they trying to do?" ”

"I'm the Grand Detective...... Cough! There are so many people in the world who want me to die......"

The chief detective is in charge of the world's criminal investigation, from stealing chickens and dogs to collaborating with the enemy and treason.

Some people will think that this is no different from the criminal department.

However, the criminal department is the criminal department of the imperial court, and the chief detective is the investigator of the emperor of the current dynasty.

"Shh Si Yubai walked out with his hands behind his back, "Go and boil water for the teacher, take care of the apprentice, don't let him run away!" ”

Seeing his master walking away, Miao Miaomiao's front paws leaned on his knees: "Have you found any clues in the recent investigation?" Going to be silenced? ”

"Who is in your house who wants to kill you? Have I seen it? ”

"I heard that the entry assessment of your Detective Mansion is very strict? How could anyone still be lurking in? Don't you judge politically? ”

"Is the case you have at hand right now at stake? I guess there's someone who opposes it?! ”

"Hey! You have a word! What do you do when you keep looking at me like this? ”

Si Detective Xing: "......! ”

"Hey! Oops! Why are you vomiting so much blood again? ”
