In the alley, Xue Mu suddenly appeared in front of the three black-clothed people.

They were a little surprised.

But he also came back to his senses all of a sudden, and they all set up their movements and prepared to fight.

Xue Mu looked calm, but there was a trace of indifference in his emotions, and his whole body exuded a solemn aura.

"Who are you?"

"Teach your man!"

One of them said in a low voice.

When Xue Mu heard this, he felt a little familiar.

You know, blind people have the best hearing.

But the man deliberately lowered his voice.

No original soundtrack.

I guess I don't want to recognize myself.

At this time, Xue Mu obviously saw through his sight, and saw that the left hand of the person in the middle was caressing the sword.

The man on the far left holds a short knife in his right hand.

"Up!"

In the next second, the three of them attacked Xue Mu at the same time.

Xue Mu immediately analyzed it through their movements.

These three should be around the double of the opening pulse.

The strength is also solid.

But after all, he was already a late-stage martial artist of the Fourfold Pulse Opening.

And he has a lot of exercises and skills.

Even with bare hands, you can clean up these three people.

With the sudden attack of the three of them, the outline in Xue Mu's eyes gradually became clear.

In between the horizontals, he leaned sideways, bent over, and backwards, dodging the opponent's attacks.

A few short knife lights grazed in front of him, sending out a piercing hiss.

The man in the middle knew that Xue Mu was powerful, so he looked at the person on the left and gestured with his eyes.

Sure enough, their next attack became more and more aggressive.

The black-clothed man on the far left jumped directly into the air, wanting to teach Xue Mu a good lesson.

But he didn't expect Xue Mu to suddenly raise his fist.

At this time, he was close to cultivating the Heavenly Thunder Fist.

The nearly full-level exercises went down with one punch.

The black-clothed man shook and fell to the ground like a thousand pounds, and fell to the ground.

This scene scared the other two.

Instead, Xue Mu continued to stand there calmly, as if mocking their failures.

"Third child, are you alright?" The man in the middle spoke.

The man in black who fell gritted his teeth, got up, and scolded: "His grandmother's is dead!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the short knife in his hand waved wildly, making a deafening noise, as if he wanted to defeat Xue Mu in front of him.

The man in the middle was worried that he was too angry, so he hurriedly said, "Third child, pay attention to proportion!" ”

He was even worried that his third brother would hurt Xue Mu's life.

But Xue Mu seemed to be a little disdainful, and even showed a contemptuous smile on his face.

To know.

Although he couldn't see it, the man in black made a move to move the knife, and in his consciousness, it seemed to slow down several times.

I saw Xue Mu dodging the attack accurately and calmly.

At the same time, every now and then, there is a blow.

This kind of oppressive feeling of playing with torture made the man in black more and more angry.

The other two also knew Xue Mu's purpose, and they went up together, intending to subdue them.

But Xue Mu lowered his waist and kicked one of them to the ground with a direct side kick.

Then another straight and straight Heavenly Thunder Fist hit the front chin with lightning speed.

With just two movements, the two men in black fell to the ground, wailing.

Xue Mu didn't attack the third person, but asked calmly, "Who are you?" Who sent you? ”

The man who was still standing hesitated, he glanced at the two who had fallen to the ground, and finally attacked again.

At this moment, a flying stone hit him in the calf from behind.

He fell straight to the ground, clutching his legs and wailing.

Xue Mu raised his eyes and found a woman.

Judging by the body shape that the line of sight is insightful.

He knew who it was.

After all, I've seen it many times.

Nangong Xue hurriedly walked over, and then asked, "What's the matter?" Did these three people sneak up on you? ”

Xue Mu explained with a smile: "It should be, I don't know, I haven't asked yet." ”

One of them, Dou Ziang, who was holding his legs, saw Nangong Xue, and immediately wanted to pull his companion and flee the scene.

But he had already been trampled under Nangong Xue's feet, and then ripped off his mask.

She wanted to see who wanted to attack the Thousand Households of the Divine Catcher.

When she took off her mask, her eyes widened.

"Dou Ziang?!"

Dou Ziang was a little embarrassed, he lowered his head and turned his face to the side.

Nangong Xue immediately realized something, and she took off the masks of the remaining two people.

Although they all covered their faces with their hands, Nangong Xue recognized them at once.

"Dou Laoer, Dou Laosan?!"

She looked at the three men in amazement.

Xue Mu saw that Nangong Xue seemed to know them, so he asked, "Sister Xue'er, who are they?" ”

"They're people from the Five Places." Nangong Xue replied indifferently.

Then, her long sword was unsheathed, and the blade of the sword was pressed against Dou Ziang's neck, and she asked angrily, "Say!" What the hell are you trying to do? Who sent you? ”

One of the people next to him hurriedly explained: "Lord Nangong, don't hurt the eldest brother, in fact, we are."

But at this time, Dou Ziang interrupted: "Second brother, don't speak." ”

He then looked at Nangong Xue: "We can't get used to Xue Mu, so we want to teach him a lesson, it's as simple as that." ”

Nangong Xue naturally didn't believe it, she looked at Dou Ziang coldly, and pushed the blade of the sword against his neck again: "You'd better tell the truth, don't blame me for doing it, did Cheng Lu let you come?" ”

Dou Ziang immediately replied: "No, this is not Cheng Baihu's business. ”

When Xue Mu heard this, he remembered.

It turned out that these people were Cheng Lu's subordinates.

At first, he didn't realize who was in charge of the five places.

Now, he understood.

It is estimated that he took the position of a thousand households, which made that Cheng Lu secretly unhappy.

So, he simply made a murderous move, and said with a smile: "I guess Cheng Baihu must think that I robbed him of his Qianhu position, as long as he solves me, the title of Qianhu will fall into his hands again." ”

"You fart."

"You are not allowed to slander us Cheng Baihu like this."

"You've been here for more than a month, what qualifications do you have to jump three levels in a row?"

The words of Dou Ziang and others made Nangong Xue very angry.

She directly interrupted: "The nomination of the thousand households was personally chosen by Lord Lu, the commander of the capital, even I don't know that Xue Mu is a candidate for the thousand households, if you are not satisfied with the nomination of the thousand households, you can go to the commander of the capital." ”

"Moreover, when you first entered the Divine Capture Division, what did the commander say? All capable people, do not have to stick to too many so-called qualifications, positions are given to capable people, if you are capable, then there are several cases before, why have you been unable to solve the case for a long time. ”

Dou Ziang listened to Nangong Xue's words, and he wanted to refute.

But I don't know what to say.

Nangong Xue continued: "Even now, if Lord Xue wants your life, he can help you solve it here, but I believe he won't do it, it is precisely with this that the vast majority of people can't do it." ”

When Xue Mu heard this, he felt that the art of Nangong Xue's speech was getting higher and higher.

She was worried that she would declare her personal vendetta and use the topic to play.

After all, these three people did sneak up on themselves.

So give yourself a shelf in advance and serve him up.

In this case, Xue Mu will not be able to step down for a while.

However, Xue Mu didn't intend to ask for the lives of these three people, but said: "Actually, it's a good thing that young people have blood, after all, the people who can enter the Divine Capture Division are all excellent leaders in ten miles and eight towns, and it is a good thing to have backbone." ”

Nangong Xue also knew that Xue Mu was no longer targeting these three people, so she hurriedly kicked Dou Ziang and the others, and ordered: "Xue Qianhu has already stopped care, why don't you hurry up and kowtow to thank you." ”

Maybe they were so frightened by Nangong Xue, Dou Ziang and the others also knew the consequences of this incident.

They hurriedly explained: "Lord Xue, we just have a hot brain, and we want to teach you a lesson." ”

"We really don't have bad intentions."

"Yes, Lord Xue, this time it has nothing to do with Cheng Baihu, I hope it will be in the future."

They were worried that once this matter was exposed, they would be put in small shoes by Xue Mu and even the position of the five Divine Capture Divisions.

But Xue Mu didn't care about the three jumping clowns in front of him at all, he just smiled and said, "Don't worry, we're just talking about it, and we'll get to it." ”

"Yes, yes, we just had a conversation."

"That's it."

Nangong Xue saw that the matter was almost settled, so she looked at the three of them viciously and scolded, "Don't hurry up and get out." ”

"Yes, Lord Nangong."

"Lord Xue, let's go."

The three of them immediately left with a lot of.

After they left, Xue Mu asked, "Sister Xue'er, why did you suddenly appear here?" ”

"I was originally handing over the official document to the Criminal Department, passing by the alley, I heard the sound of fighting, I thought it was a ruffian, but I didn't expect it to be you."

Nangong Xue said to him in advance: "I will deal with these three people, let them practice for three months in the form of corporal punishment, and deduct two months of Yulu, what do you think?" ”

"Sister Xue'er, it's good for you to make your own decisions."

"In addition, even if Cheng Lu doesn't know about this, it must be because he has some resentment in his heart, and the people under his hands will want to help him vent his anger, and I will help you find him."

"Thank you, Sister Cher."

"Okay, don't say thank you or not, let's go."

Walking out of the alley, Nangong Xue heard someone discussing on the street: "Just now there was a little prince and a son doing experiments in Guiyue Tower. ”

"What kind of experiment?"

"He threw a copper coin and a tael of silver on the second floor at the same time, guess which one landed first?"

"Then the silver must have landed first, it's not a very simple problem."

"Wrong! That's what I thought at the time, and guess what? Landing at the same time. ”

"Huh? No, how is that possible? ”

"Really."

Nangong Xue listened to the conversation of these people, turned her head to look at Xue Mu, and asked tentatively: "The prince and the prince he said just now, could that prince be you?" ”

Xue Mu smiled awkwardly: "Sister Xue'er is so smart. ”

"Is what he said true?"

"What's true?"

Nangong Xue continued to ask: "How is it possible that the silver two and the copper coin landed at the same time?" You shouldn't be fooling Zhao Jingyan, right? ”

"No, this is really landing at the same time, Sister Xue'er, I don't lie to you." Xue Mu replied.

"I don't believe it."

Xue Mu knew that if she didn't see it for herself, it would definitely be impossible to believe it.

So he asked Nangong Xue: "Why don't Sister Xue'er give me a tael of silver and a copper coin, and we will make a bet." ”

"How to bet?" Nangong Xue asked.

"If I lose, I will not only give you ten taels of silver, but also buy you a delicious one every day for a period of one month." Xue Mu put forward conditions.

Nangong Xue felt that the conditions for this bet were good, but she also knew that Xue Mu never made loss-making transactions, and this kid was very slippery.

So he asked, "What if I lose?" ”

"If Sister Xue'er loses, can you answer me a question?"

"That's it?"

"Yes."

"Okay."

As she spoke, Nangong Xue took out a copper coin and a silver ingot from her arms.

Xue Mu took these two things and raised them above his head.

Two seconds later, it fell at the same time.

Nangong Xue looked intently at the copper coins and silver taels in front of her.

After an instant, she looked at the ground incredulously and said in surprise, "How is it possible?" ”

"Sister Xue'er, did you land at the same time?" Xue Mu pretended to ask.

Nangong Xue picked up the copper coin and silver and tried it again.

It doesn't matter how many times I've tried.

The ending is still the same.

It made her very strange.

But she was still willing to gamble and lose, and kept her promise: "Okay, I lost, you ask." ”

"This question may involve Sister Xue'er's privacy, please be prepared."

As soon as these words came out, Nangong Xue began to get nervous in her heart.

[Could it be. Is he going to ask me if I like him or not? 】

All of a sudden, Nangong Xue didn't know how to prepare.

If she did, should she say yes or no?

If she likes it, she is now the deputy commander, and Xue Mu is her subordinate.

The boss likes the subordinate.

The particularity of this identity made Nangong Xue a little worried for a while.

After all, it's not honorable.

But if you don't like it.

Do you have any psychological emotions?

In just two seconds, she even deduced countless response patterns.

Raise your head and look at the handsome face.

The balance in Nangong Xue's heart seemed to be quietly tilting to the other side.

Now she is waiting for Xue Mu to ask questions.

I saw Xue Mu said a little embarrassed at this time: "Actually, this question is embarrassing. ”

Nangong Xue was calm on the surface, but in fact, she couldn't panic.

She pretended to be calm and said, "It's okay, you ask, I'll answer." ”

"You" Xue Mu was a little embarrassed.

Nangong Xue blushed, she raised her head, waited for Xue Mu's question, and once again plucked up the courage to say, "It's okay, you boldly ask." ”

Although she may not be able to answer the answer Xue Mu wants immediately, she feels that Xue Mu can take the initiative to speak, which is already very remarkable.

"Okay, I'll think about how to organize the language." Xue Mu hesitated again.

Nangong Xue was a little anxious at this time: "Hurry up and ask!" ”

Frightened by her like this, Xue Mu pretended to be scared: "Okay, okay, I'll ask." ”

"That's it. I want to ask, Sister Cher, are you?"

Nangong Xue listened to the question he asked, squeezing toothpaste little by little, and her legs couldn't help but come together, obviously a little anxious.

"Did you beat that Brother Jingyan when you were a child?"

"Huh?"

Nangong Xue was a little stunned for a while.

"You say it again," she asked. ”

"I asked, did Sister Xue'er beat the little prince when she was a child?"

"Just ask this?"

"Uh-huh."

Nangong Xue immediately pulled down her face, she turned her head and walked forward.

Seeing this, Xue Mu held back a smile, pretending to step forward and shouting, "Sister Xue'er, you haven't answered me yet, are you?" ”

"Yes! So?! Nangong Xue looked back at him, clenched her fists, and scolded, "You just ask me this question." ”

"yes." Xue Mu replied: "I see that Brother Jing Yan seems to be very afraid of you, so I guessed that I should have been beaten by you when I was a child." ”

Hearing this, Nangong Xue was even more speechless.

She walked at a faster pace.

Xue Mu watched her reaction, and his heart was happy.

In fact, he knew what Nangong Xue wanted to hear.

But how could he ask so easily?

Sometimes feelings can't be asked.

It needs to be done.

Only by doing it, in a way that loves her, will the other party be with you sincerely.

So.

Sometimes.

Pretending to be confused.

It's the best way.

Sure enough, Nangong Xue returned to the room.

I drank several glasses of water in one go, and then slowly eased up.

She gasped for air, as if she was not lightly breathed.

Even his chest has grown several times.

"Just ask me this question, and you have to exchange it for a bet."

"Stupid."

"Stupid!!"

Nangong Xue also scolded a few words.

"I knew I would have left him alone."

"Let Dou Ziang and the others teach him a lesson."

"Look at what he can."

But having said that, if Dou Ziang and the others really injured Xue Mu, she would still be a little unbearable.

That's it.

It is estimated that it is also a wooden flute.

Nangong Xue thought to herself, such a man is fine.

At the very least, if there were other women who expressed their hearts, he thought he would worship himself.

Fortunately, I can work with him now, and we will spend a long time together.

That's right.

Love over time has been a good medicine for feelings since ancient times.

On Xue Mu's side, he asked Zhou Fu to transfer the case about Zhangjiazhuang.

This made Zhou Fu a little puzzled.

Zhou Fu asked: "Lord Xue, our Zhangjiazhuang is a small village ten miles away from Jincheng, why do you want to transfer all the cases about Zhangjiazhuang in recent years for no reason." ”

"Don't ask, just do it." Xue Mu said calmly.

Zhou Fu thought that there was any confidential information, so he didn't ask any more.

After looking for a while, I finally took out all the files about Zhangjiazhuang over the years.

He wiped his sweat and said breathlessly: "Actually, Zhangjiazhuang belongs to Nanhua County, generally speaking, if it is not a big case, it is impossible for our people from the Divine Arrest Division to go through, if you want to see more cases, you can only go to the Yamen of Nanhua County, or go to the Criminal Department." ”

"It's okay, just just remember the case about Zhangjiazhuang five years ago."

Zhou Fu picked up an old file and read it: "This case is a homicide case in Zhangjiazhuang five years ago, and all five members of the family were injured, and the cause of death was a stab wound to the neck. ”

"The murderer is Zhang Dagen, who had a dispute with the deceased, and because of his grudge, he killed the deceased's family of five at night."

"Next."

"This case is four years ago, the river water poisoning case, because the next village has been at odds with the people of Zhangjiazhuang all the year round, so someone proposed to poison Zhangjiazhuang, resulting in the death of more than ten people in Zhangjiazhuang, and because of this incident, it once caused a sensation in the capital, and His Majesty also withdrew the county order of Nanhua County because of poor management."

"Okay, next."

For half an hour, Zhou Fu was reading the file.

Xue Mu then spoke: "Okay, Zhou Fu, you can rest for a while." ”

Zhou Fu said: "It's okay, my lord, I can continue to read." ”

"Okay, then you go and find a case about the dispute over good land." Xue Mu prompted.

When Zhou Fu heard this, he immediately looked for it.

But after looking for a long time, there is no file on the dispute over good land.

He replied: "Lord Xue, we don't have a case of a good land dispute, generally speaking, a good land dispute is a small case, and it does not belong to our Divine Arrest Division. ”

"Then you go to the Criminal Department, can you bring the rest of the files in Zhangjiazhuang."

With that, he pulled out a token.

This is the symbol of the god catching the thousand households, and it was handed to Zhou Fu.

Zhou Fu took the token and immediately rushed to the criminal department.

Xue Mu knew that he wouldn't come back so soon for a while.

He narrowed his eyes, intending to rest for a while.

Actually, he probably knew it in his heart.

Zhou Fu's trip, I'm afraid it was also in vain.

If the case of the dispute over fertile land is concerned, I am afraid that it will never be reported to the Criminal Department with the person who is ordered by the county magistrate of Nanhua County.

Sure enough, Zhou Fu took the token and came back empty-handed.

He said: "Lord Xue, there is no case in the Criminal Department about the dispute over good land. ”

"Okay, I know, Zhou Fu, you've worked hard too, go down and rest."

"My lord, I'm not working hard, then I'll go and get busy first."

"Hmm."

Xue Mu stood up, planning to go to Zhang Baisheng's house again in two days to see if he could ask for something more.

As he walked out of the doorway, he heard a small pebble rolling on the ground.

Then he went to the backyard.

Sure enough, Liu Xiaodao was waiting for him there.

Liu Xiaodao looked nervous, gasped and said, "My lord, it's not good." ”

"What's the matter, so alarmed?" Xue Mu asked.

"Mr. and Mrs. Zhang Baisheng are gone." Liu Xiaodao replied.

"Gone?"

"Yes."

Liu Xiaodao added: "Today I originally wanted to go to Zhang Baisheng, but no one answered after knocking on the door for a long time, so I went over the wall to take a look and found that there was no one inside. ”

"Could it be to go to the farm?" Xue Mu asked.

Liu Xiaodao explained: "At first, I thought the same thing, but until I found out that there was still fire on the brazier, I thought something was wrong. ”

"They are all surrounded by walls, if they go out, they will definitely put out the fire, and they will not waste the charcoal in the pot, in order to verify this, I also went to Zhang Baisheng's farmland."

"The neighbor next door told me that he didn't come to fertilize early this morning, and the neighbor also felt strange, because according to the usual habits, the two of them went to fertilize together every day, but the neighbor knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered, and originally thought that he had gone in advance, until he came to the farmland, and found that Zhang Baisheng was not there."

After Xue Mu heard this, he pondered for a while.

Then he asked, "Did you notice anyone following you when you were moving?" ”

"No, right? I don't seem to notice anyone. Liu Xiaodao shook his head.

Xue Mu recalled that when he was in Guiyue Tower, the housekeeper Lao Jia urged Zhao Jingyan to leave, and prompted that there were two people in black in the crowd.

Just now, he thought it was none other than Dou Ziang's three guys.

But when he turned his head and thought about it, Lao Jia revealed two men in black.

And Dou Ziang, they are three people.

That is, there is a high probability that it is two different groups of people.

Thinking of this, Xue Mu and Liu Xiaodao said, "You have been taking care of yourself for a while and hiding. ”

"My lord, is our whereabouts discovered, but I am thinking about asking the people about the situation of the fertile land, will this also be targeted?" Liu Xiaodao didn't know the meaning behind this farmland, but he just felt strange.

Xue Mu was worried that he would take it lightly, so he emphasized: "You have to be careful, because the person who is following us is likely to have some background. ”

"Don't worry, my lord, it's easy to say that I'm also the number one thief, how can I be easily followed, I have always been the only one who stalks others." Liu Xiaodao was confident.

Hearing this, Xue Mu immediately interrupted: "You must not take it lightly, now, you are the only person who can help me." ”

Maybe Liu Xiaodao didn't care about it just now, but it was because he heard what Xue Mu said.

I was moved.

After all, all the time.

He felt like he was alone.

Now, someone needs him.

Then Liu Xiaodao was naturally fortunate not to be dishonored.

He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'll just listen to what you say, my lord, I'll protect myself these days, if you need to find me, you can take a stroll at the door of the backyard of the god catcher when it's dark, and I'll be able to notice." ”

"Okay, then you pay attention to safety and carefully investigate Zhang Baisheng's whereabouts."

"Don't worry, sir."

In the next second, Liu Xiaodao disappeared at the door of the backyard.

Xue Mu actually didn't know where Zhang Baisheng went.

But he always had a sense of foreboding.

And a person's name also came to his mind.

That is Huang Shoucheng.

That is, the largest landlord in Zhangjiazhuang.

"Looks like we'll have to go to the meeting another day."

Xue Mu thought about it, and walked out of the street, planning to go back.

But as soon as he walked out, he heard a gentle female voice with a hint of arrogance: "This son." ”

Xue Mu turned his head, although he couldn't see clearly.

But judging from the sight, there are two women standing in front of them.

And the one standing in front of him has a good figure, and there is absolutely no ambiguity where he should be.

It even surprised him a little.

This woman's leg length can compete with Nangong Xue.

Xue Mu was a little surprised, according to this ratio, even if he didn't have to open his eyes, he knew that the woman in front of him must be a good-looking woman.

Surprised, he arched his hand: "May I ask the girl, what is the matter?" ”

Zhao Ruoli looked at the dignified Xue Mu in front of her, looked up and down, and then asked calmly: "I don't know if Gongzi knows how to go to East Street?" ”

"I'm sorry, I can't see it, but I can point you in the general direction, it should be." Xue Mu relied on his memory to point out the way to East Street.

Zhao Ruoli's maidservant Qing'er was a little surprised, she looked at Xue Mu and kept staring at his eyes.

Zhao Ruoli was not surprised by this, she thanked: "Thank you, son." ”

"You're welcome."

At this time, Qing'er suddenly spoke: "Miss, this son seems to be the one who borrowed our silver two pitchpots." ”

Xue Mu, who originally wanted to turn around and leave, suddenly thought of something after hearing this.

He asked, "Are you the girl who gave me two silver taels before and was able to make me successfully throw the pot?" ”

Zhao Ruoli saw that he was hooked, so she smiled slightly: "My girl has a good memory, she said yes, that is." ”

Listening to Zhao Ruoli's generous answer, Xue Mu thanked him: "I couldn't thank the girl in person that day, but now I have a fate, thank you girl." ”

So saying, he took out the silver taels from his pocket and wanted to repay them.

Zhao Ruoli said: "Son, you don't have to be polite, didn't you also give me a hosta in return that day?" ”

Xue Mu smiled: "I didn't expect the girl to remember the hosta." ”

"Of course, that hosta is very beautiful." Seeing this, Zhao Ruoli proposed: "I have a relationship with my son today, but I don't know the name of my son, the little girl Zhao Li, I don't know the name of my son?" ”

"In Xia Xue Mu, I saw Miss Zhao Li."

"Where is Childe going this time?"

"Ready to go home."

"If that's the case, then don't bother Childe."

"Presumably, Miss Zhao Li also has something to do when she goes to East Street, so she will meet another day."

"Okay."

In this way, Xue Mu left.

Zhao Ruoli looked at the back of him leaving, and said to Qing'er: "Qing'er, let's go to East Street." ”

I saw Qing'er ask in a low voice, "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, why are you in such a hurry today?" ”

Zhao Ruoli smiled calmly.

"Don't be afraid, the coming day will be long."

I'm sorry ~ I'm late ~ but I want to ask for a monthly pass!
