Chapter 168: Emperor Xia's Shangguan Wan's Recognition of Xue Mu (Good-looking!) Ask for subscription)
Back an hour ago.
Leng Mei was in the room, and pleaded again: "My lord, do you really want to tell Xue Mu about the undercover?" ”
I saw the old man in the house, and said earnestly: "Yilan, now that Xue Mu is already a thousand households of the Divine Capture Division, his identity and position can be used by our Great Xia Kingdom, it's time to tell him about it." ”
Leng Mei was still a little hesitant: "I think even if we tell Xue Mu that he is undercover, it won't be of much use to our offline plans." ”
"Yilan." The old man looked at her: "Every time I mention Xue Mu, you always talk about him, what's the matter?" Do you like him? ”
Leng Mei is a little distracted.
Of course, she didn't dare to say such a thing.
After all, she once swore that she must help Daxia and complete the undercover mission.
Now that the affairs of the family and the country have not been settled, how can we talk about the private affairs of our children?
However, if you want Xue Mu to know about the undercover agent.
Then it is equivalent to putting him in a dangerous state all the time.
For Leng Mei, she was reluctant to do this.
Although he approached Xue Mu at the beginning, it was just to organize and monitor him.
By the way, give an investigation.
And without the slightest emotion.
However, during this time, she also gradually fell in love with this man.
The ridicule and jokes in the past all made Leng Mei think about it.
Therefore, she was reluctant to tell Xue Mu about the undercover agent.
Don't want him to take such a risk.
Leng Mei still clenched her fists and said, "My lord, what you think you want Xue Mu to complete, Yilan will definitely be able to complete it." ”
"But what if I prefer him to do it?" The old man's sharp eyes looked at her, as if he was a little dissatisfied.
Although Leng Mei didn't speak, her hard attitude already said it all.
The old man finally waved his hand and said, "In that case, you can make it clear to Your Majesty yourself." ”
"Yes, sir."
Leng Mei left.
On the way back, she made a decision.
That is to leave Xue Mu temporarily.
She wants to return to the Great Xia Kingdom and go to Shangguan Wan.
Before leaving, she wrote a letter in her room.
The letter doesn't say much.
Instead, an excuse was found.
Then she walked out.
At this time, Xu Ruyan was busy with dinner tonight.
When she saw Leng Mei, she also smiled and said, "Sister Leng, let's eat fish tonight." ”
"Ruyan." Leng Mei looked at her worriedly.
Xu Ruyan saw that she seemed to want to say something, so she was curious: "What's wrong with Sister Leng?" ”
"When Xue Mu comes, you will take out this letter and read it to him." Leng Mei replied.
Xu Ruyan seemed to notice that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Sister Leng, what's wrong?" ”
"Nothing." Leng Mei smiled.
Xu Ruyan was a little entangled: "Sister Leng, let's eat later?" ”
"Don't eat it, I'll go first."
"You're leaving?"
"Yes," Leng Mei said with a smile, "Anyway, open this letter and you will know everything." ”
With that, she went into the room and took out a bag from it.
Xu Ruyan hurriedly stepped forward to stop: "Sister Leng, why are you leaving?" Why don't you wait for Childe to come back? ”
"If he comes back, I won't be able to leave." Leng Mei explained.
Xu Ruyan immediately changed an excuse and said, "Sister Leng, why don't you taste the fish I made?" ”
"We'll talk about it later." Leng Mei knew that Xu Ruyan was changing ways to keep herself.
But if she doesn't leave, when Xue Mu comes back later, she won't be able to leave.
Eventually, she left.
Seeing this, Xu Ruyan still wanted to stop her.
But the cold resoluteness made her helpless.
She could only wait at home for Xue Mu's return.
Therefore, when Xue Mu came back, Xu Ruyan stepped forward to tell him as soon as possible.
"Mulang, Sister Leng is gone."
Xue Mu was very surprised.
He asked, "Sister Leng is gone?" ”
"Yes, she left a letter." Xu Ruyan hurriedly took out the letter.
Xue Mu took the envelope and immediately opened it.
When he was about to read the text on it, something suddenly came to mind.
handed the envelope to Xu Ruyan: "You can read it." ”
Xu Ruyan took the envelope and immediately looked at the contents on it.
"You must be surprised, why did I suddenly say goodbye?"
"But I actually have a hard time."
"Don't worry, I'll be back, but I don't know when."
"I'll bring you something to eat when the time comes."
When Xue Mu heard these words, he asked, "Is it gone?" ”
"It's gone." Xu Ruyan shook her head.
Xue Mu was silent and thought about it.
Xu Ruyan was a little worried: "Childe, is something wrong with Sister Leng?" ”
Xue Mu comforted: "It shouldn't be, don't worry, not to mention that Sister Leng is so powerful, how can there be anything he can't do?" Maybe deal with some problems, I guess I'll be back in a few days. ”
Xu Ruyan could only nod: "I hope to see Sister Leng as soon as possible." "Yes.
"Alright, let's eat."
"Okay."
In the process of eating, Xu Ruyan sandwiched the dishes for Xue Mu.
Although the two of them are still the same as usual, you ask and I answer.
But she could still feel that Xue Mu was obviously not in a state.
So this night, Xu Ruyan entered his room.
She didn't have too many skills, so she could only let Xue Mu sprint to barely forget these troubles.
And in fact, Xu Ruyan did it.
This night, when Xue Mu was riding a horse, he left the day's events behind.
It's just that in the dead of night, he still thinks about cold things.
Although he still doesn't know why Leng Mei left.
But after this incident, Xue Mu can be sure that Leng Mei is definitely not the so-called descendant of the dart game.
There must be something else hidden in this.
It's just that after getting along for a long time, Leng Mei didn't do anything unfavorable to herself.
To some extent, Leng Mei will definitely not harm herself.
But Xue Mu didn't understand, what was her identity?
"Cold."
He looked at Xu Ruyan, who was sleeping in his arms, and couldn't help but hug him tighter.
At the same time, in the palace of the Great Xia Kingdom.
Shangguan Wan was looking at the excerpt.
When she saw the fold sent by the Military Aircraft Department, she hurriedly flipped through it.
What she didn't expect was that Song Yuanjie, the squire of the military department, died.
"This Lord Jiang is really powerful, and he unknowingly let Song Yuanjie die."
But the content behind the excerpt made her even more unexpected.
"It turned out to be this Xue Mu's case again."
Shangguan Wan closed the fold, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This Xue Mu previously put Zuo Yuheng in prison, cracked the case of illegal salt, and arrested the head of the Ministry by mistake, so that our people had the opportunity to arrange it inside, and now Song Yuanjie, the squire of the Ministry of War, is planted in his hands again." ”
"These three times have all contributed to our Great Xia Country, and he is indeed a good talent."
Seeing that Shangguan Wan was distracted, the red kite stepped forward to remind: "Your Majesty, it's not too early, it's time to rest." ”
Shangguan Wan finally stood up, and she looked cold and glamorous in a red veil.
Although he is beautiful, he has the temperament of a king.
When the red kite helped Shangguan Wan back behind the screen, he also instructed: "Your Majesty, you have to drink a glass of water later, you haven't drunk it all night." ”
"Okay."
Shangguan Wan looked at the red kite that had grown up with her since she was a child, and said with a smile: "My daily life depends on you." ”
"This is the blessing of the red kite, you must know that the lives of all the people of the Great Xia Kingdom depend on Your Majesty." Red Kite explained.
Shangguan Wan immediately soaked in the water in the bathtub, and the rose petals next to her were spread on the surface, she picked up a petal and smelled it, and then sighed: "I think that at the beginning, we and Yilan were playing carefree together, but now let Yilan go to Daqing alone and do undercover tasks, which is really wronged her." ”
"Sister Yilan also wants to help His Majesty share the burden, I believe that Sister Yilan will definitely be able to overcome all difficulties." The red kite keeps pouring water to keep the water in the tub warm.
But Shangguan Wan said: "But I have a hunch, I always feel that something happened to Yilan over there, I hope this premonition is wrong." ”
After a while, she recalled the scene when Yilan said goodbye to her two years ago.
At that time, Yilan swore to her.
Daqing will not be extinguished for a day, and she will not return to Daxia for a day.
In the blink of an eye, they hadn't seen each other for two years.
"I don't know what happened to her"
The next morning.
Xue Mu tiptoed out of bed.
Last night, Xu Ruyan waited all night in order to divert her attention.
Now she is tired for a long time.
Therefore, even after the rooster outside crowed, Xu Ruyan did not wake up.
Xue Mu came to the kitchen, steamed a few steamed buns, and left the house.
He's going to the Divine Catcher.
Ask Huang Haigui as soon as possible.
And Nangong Xue and others are the same.
They came to the prison early, intending to ask Huang Haigui.
Let him confess behind the scenes of his complicity.
But who knows, just returned to the Divine Capture Division.
Zheng Jun hurriedly came to Xue Mu's front and said anxiously: "Xue Qianhu is not good, something has happened." ”
Xue Mu was a little puzzled: "What's wrong?" Is something wrong with Huang Haigui? ”
"No, it's Lu Yuantong who has an accident." Zheng Jun explained.
At this time, Nangong Xue immediately walked over.
She looked at Zheng Jun and Xue Mu and said, "Quick, go to South Street with me." ”
On the way to South Street.
Xue Mu only knew.
Last night, a fire broke out in Lu Yuantong's house.
None of the people inside were spared.
"All dead?" Xue Mu was very surprised.
Zheng Jun nodded: "Yes, including Lord Lu Yuantong." ”
Xue Mu's first reaction was to kill people.
He hurriedly asked, "How did you set this fire?" ”
"I don't know, early this morning, Bai Ming looked for the watchman last night, and he said that when he found the fire last night, it was no longer controllable, and the fire was very big." Zheng Jun explained.
Not much.
So they came to Lu Province.
Today's Lu Mansion has long been a pile of ruins.
There was smoke on it.
And in front of him were more than a dozen charred corpses.
At this time, Zhou Fu stepped forward and reported to Xue Mu and Nangong Xue's people: "My lord, there are a total of sixteen corpses, and it can basically be concluded that they are all from Lu Mansion. ”
"Lu Yuantong." Xue Mu asked.
Zhou Fu pointed to the first corpse and said, "This first corpse is estimated to be Lu Yuantong's." ”
Nangong Xue looked at the black scorched corpse, frowned and asked, "How did you see it?" ”
"We found a jade pendant on his body, and the subordinates of the Criminal Department confirmed that this was worn by Lord Lu Yuantong." Zhou Fu replied.
Hearing this, Nangong Xue stepped forward to check.
Xue Mu waited on the side.
After a while, Nangong Xue explained: "There are no fatal injuries on the body except for the traces of burns, and the main cause of death is burning." ”
Xue Mu reminded: "Zhou Fu, you take a cloth and wipe the nostrils of that corpse. ”
"Nostrils?" Zhou Fu was a little puzzled.
"Yes."
Although Zhou Fu didn't quite understand why he did this, he still did it as soon as possible.
"My lord, I've already wiped it." Zhou Fu explained.
Xue Mu replied: "Look at whether this cloth has ashes." ”
"Yes."
"That's the one who was burned to death by fire before he died." Xue Mu said firmly.
Zhou Fu was a little puzzled at this time, and saw Zheng Jun helping to explain on the side: "If you are in the fire before you die, then your nose will inhale a lot of soot, and if you throw it in the fire after death, there will only be ashes outside the nose, and there will be no inside the nose." ”
Zhou Fu suddenly realized.
Nangong Xue looked at these corpses, and finally said, "Carry these corpses back and let them be examined." ”
"Yes."
She then looked at Xue Mu: "Let's hurry back and interrogate Huang Haigui, the longer it drags on, the more action those behind-the-scenes instructions will be." ”
"Okay."
Without stopping, they immediately returned to the prison.
The moment Huang Haigui saw them, he immediately said: "I'll recruit, I'll recruit anything, and it's Lu Yuantong, the waiter of the Criminal Department, who is trading with me." ”
Hearing this, Xue Mu asked, "What evidence do you have to prove it?" ”
"You can find him and confront me." Huang Haigui explained: "Previously, many people often went to the Criminal Department in the capital, so I could only find Lu Yuantong and ask him to help suppress these things. ”
"At first, I was worried that something would be wrong after such a thing was exposed, but he told me that there was someone above him, so I didn't have to worry, so I had to prepare two gifts every time, one for him and one for the person above him."
After Huang Haigui finished speaking, he emphasized again: "What I said is true, I didn't lie to you, I don't believe you go to Lu Yuantong and let him confront me." ”
Xue Mu continued to ask, "Do you know who he is referring to?" ”
Huang Haigui shook his head: "I don't know, but it's definitely Lu Yuantong's backer, and it's not just my land in Nanhua County, they will also extend their claws to other places, in short, you go to Lu Yuantong, everything is known." ”
I saw Nangong Xue say calmly: "Lu Yuantong's mansion caught fire last night, and no one in the whole mansion was spared. ”
Hearing this, Huang Haigui's eyes widened.
He knew that once Lu Yuantong died, then there would be no proof that he would die.
Xue Mu and the others may not necessarily believe what they said.
He kept shouting: "You have to believe me, what I said is true, I really traded with Lu Yuantong." ”
Huang Haigui's current level of despair is definitely the deepest in the entire heavenly prison.
Meanwhile.
Cui He, the secretary of the criminal department, was drinking tea leisurely.
At this moment, one of his subordinates stepped forward and whispered in his ear: "My lord, it's all done." ”
I saw Cui He nodded, and then said: "Good job, now there is only that Huang Haigui left." ”
"My subordinates understand."
With that, he hurried away.
Then, Choi Hyuk walked over to the table and picked up the pen.
What is written on paper.
Finally, he handed the envelope to his subordinates.
"Go, take it to His Royal Highness King Kang, the second prince."
"Yes, sir."
