Xiao Shizhu vaguely remembered that Yingzhao said that all the vassal states in the underworld had their own totems, similar to the national flags and national emblems of all countries in the world. And the bell pattern wrapped in flames on the other side of this waist card could it be a totem of other countries?

He looked down in thought.

Lu Wu told him in the morning that the totem of the ghost mother country is the crescent moon and the sun, which means that the true meaning of life is the combination of yin and yang. And Ah Fu's clothes, the right arm of their clothes, also have the emblem of the crescent moon ring sun.

If the pattern on this waist card is also a totem, then this brand is obviously not made in the ghost mother country. And the sign is well hidden, it is supposed that its owner made a cassette under the chair surface that would not be noticed, and hid it in it.

If it weren't for the fact that the chair was scattered, and the cassette was torn apart by Xiao Shizhu's buttocks, he might not have been able to find this thing. Coupled with the fact that this item is hidden here, it is very likely that its owner is the dog warden who used to guard the tengu.

"You're good at hiding things. Xiao Shizhu looked at the sawdust and muttered to himself. At the same time, there was a suspicion in my heart: Who is the boss of this secret envoy, and why did the secret envoy of another country sneak into the ghost mother palace?

Judging from the words of the boat family, almost no one dares to come to the idea of fighting the ghost mother country, but how can there be a secret envoy of a certain country under the heavy guard of the place where the lord of the country lives and the ghost mother?

After thinking about it for a long time, Xiao Shizhu couldn't think of an ugly person because of too little information, so he said to himself: "What the purpose of love is, it has something to do with Lao Tzu." After that, I stopped thinking about it.

At this moment, the well-fed tengu barked again, and Xiao Shizhu was no longer able to scold them, so he had to let them bark non-stop. Even so, he was also a little vigilant and hurriedly hid the sign in his arms.

After a while, the door of the house was slowly pushed open, and at the same time, a sissy voice came from the door: "Brother, seeing that you didn't go to the palace dinner, I guessed that you couldn't find the canteen, so I brought you food." ”。

Xiao Shizhu was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly turned around to look at the door, only to see that it was Ming Yichen holding a bowl in his right hand, with three steamed buns in it, standing at the door.

"Dear dear. Xiao Shizhu choked up, sniffed, and said with a crying voice: "I have never felt that you are so beautiful like now." But his eyes were always fixed on the steamed bun in Ming Yichen's hand.

But Ming Yichen mistakenly thought that Xiao Shizhu was praising him, and after waving his hand, he smiled and scolded with a shy face: "I hate it, the beauty of the old lady is well known." ”。

Although the hungry Xiao Shizhu was about to burst into tears when he looked at the white steamed buns, he still couldn't help but think in his heart: "I'd better check the matter of this brand." First find an opportunity to ask the old ghost slaves in this palace, the identity of the former dog supervisor. ”......

Half a month later, the idle ghost mother only took a personal maid to walk in the palace, and as she walked, the master and the servant inadvertently walked to the Tiangu Garden where Xiao Shizhu worked.

The ghost mother stood at the gate of the small courtyard, only to see that the dilapidated gate of the small courtyard had been repaired. At this time, a long wooden sign was hung on the closed door, with a line of words written on it: "Xiao Shizhu's Mansion, the first shovel official of the Ghost Mother Palace, please knock on the door when you enter the courtyard." ”。

"Xiao Shizhu?" The ghost mother was stunned for a moment, frowning and thinking, she felt a little impressed by this name, but she couldn't remember who it was for a while, and at the same time she was also interested in the words on the brand, and then muttered: "What kind of official position is the shovel officer? Why can't I remember that I once set up such an official position?".

"Reply to the words of my Lord. The personal maid who followed her stepped forward and whispered in her ear: "This Xiao Shizhu is the little ghost who watched you drool in the square fifteen days ago. ”。

After the maidservant mentioned it, the ghost mother suddenly remembered who this Xiao Shizhu was, and Xiao Shizhu's straight eyes gradually emerged from her mind that day. This not only dispelled the idea of going into this courtyard to have a look, but also immediately became disgusted, rolled her eyes and scolded: "The prodigal son of the disciple with a bad heart!" and then turned to leave.

Before she had gone far, the ghost mother suddenly stood still again, and whispered to the maid who followed her, "Haven't you found the accomplice of the dog supervisor before?"

The maid lowered her head when she heard this, and shook her head lightly with a guilty face.

The ghost mother stopped talking and continued to walk forward.

At this moment, Xiao Shizhu was completely unaware of what was happening outside the hospital, and was concentrating on what was happening in his hands. When he saw that the sun was so good today, he hummed a little song in the courtyard and happily bathed the tengus in turn.

In just half a month, he cleaned up this dilapidated courtyard and kept it neat and tidy. Not only were all the weeds in the yard removed, but a path from the courtyard gate to the front of the house was paved with gravel, and several small flower beds were built with green bricks on the roadside, and some flowers and plants were planted. And on the west side of the yard made a simple shelf, planted some grapes and bitter gourd.

And most of the shit was naturally used by him to make fertilizer for these flowers and plants. Eventually, he dug another pond next to the trellis, and instead of raising fish or lotus flowers, he used it for bathing the tengu.

Even the only house in the courtyard was tidied up by him. The dog cages are all neatly arranged, the ground and roof are cleaned, and the window paper is all renewed.

Although Xiao Shizhu has moved bricks in the world and knows a little architectural knowledge and skills, it is impossible for him to renovate this decadent courtyard in fifteen days by himself. He was able to do all this thanks to his clever mouth that could hoe the ground.

He grasped the fact that although Ming Yichen was a big man with chest hair, he liked to delve into women's makeup, so he told Ming Yichen about some modern makeup skills in the world. And after finishing an opening sentence, he said to the other party that if he wants to know the back, let the other party persuade other new ghost slaves to help him clean up the courtyard after work every day.

As for the price of other ghost slaves to help, some asked for money and some asked for wine, Xiao Shizhu was satisfied one by one. As a result, he became addicted to a contract foreman and designer. As for the items needed for renovation, Xiao Shizhu paid for them all out of his own pocket. He took Ming Yichen's imperial dining room at the palace gate to purchase the waist card, went in and out of the Ghost Mother Palace many times, and moved back little by little. As for the door number, he also felt that the title of dog supervisor was too ugly, so he sealed it for himself.

In addition, Xiao Shizhu also knocked on the side to hear some things about the previous dog supervisor. It is said that the other party went to the palace a year ago, and his real identity is an assassin, and he also made up a tragic story about accidentally breaking the former master's eighteenth aunt Tailiuli and being beaten by the owner, and sold to the ghost mother country.

He was then sent by the Ghost Mother to be a dog warden, but half a month ago he began his plan to assassinate the Ghost Mother. Unfortunately, after entering the inner court, although this thing avoided a lot of light and dark whistles, it was caught less than five feet away from the ghost mother's bedroom. Then as soon as this guy saw that the matter was revealed, he committed suicide by taking poison.

The ghost mother palace is divided into the inner and outer courts, in the shape of "Hui", and the inferior ghost slaves can only stay in the outer court. This assassin was able to infiltrate the inner court with ease, and knew the terrain of the inner court well, which made the ghost mother furious, and at the same time, she also realized that he must have an accomplice. So recently, the ghost mother has been secretly investigating the affairs of this assassin accomplice.

Regrettably, his accomplices have not yet been found.

This also gave Xiao Shizhu a glimmer of hope, if he could catch or find out this assassin accomplice, he would be able to get close to the ghost mother. Maybe when the ghost mother is happy, she can give herself a salary increase and a promotion or something.

In addition, Xiao Shizhu has done another thing in the past half a month, that is, to make the tengu obedient to him.

Although the dogs didn't bite or bark at first these days, they weren't very obedient, which really made Xiao Shizhu distressed for a few days, after all, he was in charge of them, and what happened if he didn't obey.

But later, Xiao Shizhu gradually discovered that they had stayed together for a long time and actually had the characteristics of a wolf pack, and they all obeyed the orders of a tengu named Tiankuixing, with white and black fur.

So after Xiao Shizhu observed in many ways, he found that this Tiankuixing loves bone sticks and raw eggs, and every time he sees these two things, Tiankuixing is shaking his ass and shaking his tail so happily. Therefore, he privately used makeup as a condition to let Ming Yichen, who worked in the imperial dining room, steal eggs and bones for him, all to please Tiankuixing, and never put it in a cage, always outside the cage, so that Tiankuixing got more freedom, and his status in the dog group was also on a higher level.

Gradually, Tian Kuixing also had a good impression of him. The boss was obedient, and the other tengus naturally bowed down to Xiao Shizhu.

After washing the twenty tengu today, the sun is already in the west. After Xiao Shizhu made himself a cup of tea, he looked at the tengu who were playing and basking in the sun in the courtyard.

It's been ten days since he entered the palace, let alone getting close to the ghost mother, and he hasn't even seen the high-ranking officials and ministers around the other party. Although he also knew that this matter was urgent, but after seeing the tengu who was happy in this courtyard, he also knew that he would continue to be a shovel official, but he was afraid that he would not want to come into contact with the high-ranking officials of the ghost mother country in the past hundred years, so it was inevitable that he would be a little anxious.

Just as he was deep in thought, Tian Kuixing suddenly walked up to him, stood beside him and sniffed the back of his hand, then gently wagged his tail and crawled down at his feet, rubbing his head against his trouser leg.

Xiao Shizhu was relieved by it, so he leaned down and stretched out his hand to scratch the neck of the tengu, but he didn't expect a miracle to happen;

Xiao Shizhu was stunned for a moment, looked at Tiankuixing's hairless belly, and said with a smile: "It's really strange." ”。 But in his heart, he thought, "The tengu is also a dog, and the dog shows that it has completely trusted me." ”。 As he spoke, he cautiously reached out and touched Tiankuixing's belly.

Tian Kuixing not only did not bite him, nor barked at him, but continued to show his belly, squinted his eyes and wagged his tail, and his face was pleasant.

"I want to. Xiao Shizhu said, and reached out to touch Tiankuixing's belly again. Then he looked at Tian Kuixing's pleasant face, and after being stunned, he seemed to remember something, slapped his head and shouted: "Yes, if you don't look for me, I can design to find you!" After speaking, he frowned, pondered for a moment and then thought about it.

Then he stood up, put the teacup on the table, ran back to the house, took out a trowel from under the bed, and then took out the secret envoy token from his bosom, and scraped the word "secret envoy" engraved on the token with the clay knife.

It wasn't until he had scratched those two words with a clay knife that he couldn't tell what they were that he stopped and smiled proudly.

Then he first put the other tengu back in the cage, and then hung this sign around Tiankuixing's neck and said to Tiankuixing: "Let's go, go to dinner with you Xiao Ye." After speaking, he whistled and went to the ghost slave dining hall. I secretly said in my heart: "Look at how Xiao Ye and I trick you, whether it is a ghost mother or an assassin accomplice, I will kill two birds with one stone for you." ”。

Tian Kuixing wagged his tail and followed.
