On the way back, Nangong Xue looked at Xue Mu, obviously feeling a little incredible.

She couldn't help asking, "Do you know the Great Commander?" ”

Xue Mu hurriedly shook his head: "Of course I don't know him." ”

"Then why did I feel like he was familiar with you, and I asked him to increase his patrols and put them in every harem well to guard, but he refused."

Nangong Xue was puzzled: "However, when you told him, he agreed without hesitation." ”

Xue Mu couldn't cry or laugh: "How do I know? Besides, he's the commander of the forbidden army, and I'm just a thousand households of the Divine Capture Division. No matter how capable I am, I can't know such a big man. ”

Hearing this, Nangong Xue also felt a little reasonable.

So she didn't look too much into it.

In short, it is always a good thing that the forbidden army can help the Divine Capture Division to solve the case.

And the other side.

Meng Zhi was already waiting in the eldest princess's bedroom.

After Zhao Ruoli left the court, Qing'er stepped forward and said to him: "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, the great commander has come to ask to see you." ”

She then looked at Meng Zhi and asked, "They're coming for you?" ”

Meng Zhi nodded and arched his hand: "Sure enough, as the eldest princess expected, Nangong Xue and Xue Mu did come to find Weichen, and Weichen also agreed according to the eldest princess's entrustment." ”

"Okay, then this time you also ask your brothers to pay more attention to see if there are any suspicious people in the palace, after all, there have been several cases one after another, which can be regarded as a dereliction of duty by the forbidden army."

Zhao Ruoli's words made Meng Zhi a little scared.

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that Zhao Ruoli was reminding himself.

Once the matter is made bigger, then it is very likely that His Majesty will blame himself for the crime of the forbidden army's ineffective protection.

When the time comes, he will be punished with a penalty, and if he is at worst, he will even lose his position as commander.

So for what Zhao Ruoli said, Meng Zhi naturally listened to it.

Helping Xue Mu is not only for Zhao Ruoli's advice, but also for his own future.

After Meng Zhi left, Zhao Ruoli said to Qing'er: "Let's leave the palace today." ”

"Yes, Your Highness the Eldest Princess."

Qing'er naturally knew that today was most likely the day when Xue Mu was going to go.

So Zhao Ruoli also calculated that she wanted to go to the teahouse to meet him.

As for Xue Mu.

Although at present, there is still no clue about this case in the palace.

He didn't even know who did it?

And there are so many concubines and beauties in the harem, it is not convenient to check them one by one, after all, those are the emperor's women, if there is a slight accident, His Majesty will definitely blame himself at that time.

In addition, in the harem, there are many palace maids and eunuchs up and down, and there are already a lot of them from the base number alone.

It's even more difficult to investigate.

However, fortunately, the queen did not blame it.

It's just a matter of letting the Divine Arrest Division solve the case as soon as possible to avoid this case from getting bigger and bigger.

But in fact, Xue Mu was not worried.

No matter how you say it, you're only a thousand households.

Even if you want to ask the Sin God Arrest Division, the first one is to command Lu Jianghe.

No matter how bad it is, it's Nangong Xue.

Although it is said that Nangong Xue has also helped herself shoot a gun, but this kind of thing that will lose her head by accident, Xue Mu still has no choice but to help her.

The current situation is already clear at a glance.

Either the mastermind behind the harem shows his chicken feet and is caught by them.

Either the forbidden army is waiting for the rabbit to find clues.

There is no other way.

Xue Mu counted the time, and slipped away through the back door when he was about to get off duty.

As soon as he walked out of the backyard, the voice of Liu Xiaodao came.

"Your Excellency."

"Liu Xiaodao?"

Xue Mu was a little surprised.

At the beginning, Liu Xiaodao risked his life to remind himself that someone was going to kill Huang Haigui, the county commander of Nanhua County, and he hadn't met him for a long time.

"Knife, why are you here? Where has this time gone? ”

Liu Xiaodao smiled hesitantly: "My lord, I'll investigate the case for you." ”

"Investigating the case?" Xue Mu did not explain to him to investigate the case.

So he wondered: "What case is being investigated, why don't I know?" ”

"It's the case of dividing up the land in Zhangjiazhuang at the beginning." Liu Xiaodao explained.

When Xue Mu heard this, he immediately pulled him aside and asked in a low voice, "What did you find?" ”

Liu Xiaodao replied: "My lord, when I learned that it was Lord Xu Jie who was investigating this case, I knew that there must be something wrong, so I visited Zhangjiazhuang and most of the villagers in Nanhua County, and they told me. ”

"In fact, there are many fields that are not Huang Shoucheng's, that is, the old landlord, nor his uncle Huang Haigui's, but are taken care of by a housekeeper."

Liu Xiaodao's words made Xue Mu even more puzzled.

He couldn't help asking, "Who is that butler?" Did you find any news? ”

"Originally, I couldn't find out, but when I was walking around the county that day, a child told me that a group of people were walking in front, and the middle-aged man in the middle was the so-called housekeeper."

Liu Xiaodao continued: "So I followed him all the way, and then I came to a mansion, and that mansion was written on Cui's mansion. ”

"Cui Mansion?" Xue Mu's mind immediately sounded with a name that was both unfamiliar and somewhat familiar.

That is the secretary of the criminal department, Cui He.

But he didn't have a preconceived idea, but asked Liu Xiaodao: "Have you found out who the owner of this mansion is?" ”

"Of course I did." Liu Xiaodao said confidently: "I squatted for three days and three nights, and finally knew the owner of this Cui Mansion, he is now Cui He, the criminal department of the Daqing Dynasty." ”

"Sure enough, it's him."

Xue Mu whispered to himself.

Liu Xiaodao then asked: "My lord, this guy must have nothing to do with the fields in Nanhua County, do you want to check it?" ”

Xue Mu shook his head: "Don't use it for the time being, this criminal department secretary is much better than me in terms of official rank and connections, let's not startle the snake." ”

Then he took out a small bag of silver taels from his pocket: "You have worked hard these days, I didn't expect you to be silently investigating this matter, next time remember to tell me your whereabouts in advance, otherwise I will be worried." ”

Hearing this, Liu Xiaodao was naturally moved.

After all, no one has ever said these words of concern since childhood.

He didn't accept the silver taels, but said, "Don't worry, my lord, as long as I am here, your information and security are wrapped up in me." ”

Xue Mu laughed, and then said tentatively: "Guess how strong my strength is now?" ”

Only then did Liu Xiaodao realize that Xue Mu's strength was progressing very quickly.

He shook Xue Mu's arm and said in surprise, "My lord, how did your strength progress so quickly. ”

"I didn't expect that." Xue Mu smiled.

Liu Xiaodao was also ashamed of himself: "At the beginning, adults didn't even know how to walk without a shadow, but now not only is the light skill better than me, but even the hard power is above me, and I will have to eat with the adults in the future." ”

"Don't worry, one day with me, I will never be hungry for you, no matter how we say it, we have a lifelong friendship." Xue Mu patted him on the shoulder and explained.

After a few simple small talks, Liu Xiaodao left.

When he was halfway there, he found that he was a little burdensome.

He touched it and found that Xue Mu had hung the small bag of silver on his body when he was not paying attention.

"Adults are so good to me, if I were a woman, I would definitely make a promise."

"It's a pity, I also have a handle."

"Hey"

Subsequently, Liu Xiaodao went to his favorite stall and asked the boss for ten chicken butts.

Xue Mu briefly sorted out the current clues.

Xu Jie, who was the head of the household department at the beginning, played His Majesty many times because of the tax reform, which caused Emperor Qing Longyan to be furious and demoted him to the head of the household department.

But even if Xu Street is demoted to the head of the household department, he still investigates the local tax issue.

First of all, I went to Nanhua County to investigate the distribution of fields in Zhangjiazhuang.

When he found that many of the villagers' fields had been secretly reduced, he wrote the booklet, which he intended to use as evidence in the future.

As a result, he was framed by the people behind the scenes.

In the end, he was imprisoned for embezzling tens of thousands of taels.

The person who can easily frame a head of the household department and go to prison is probably the secretary of the criminal department, Cui He.

And his subordinate Lu Yuantong is his pawn.

Maybe in the harvesting fields, eighty percent is Cui He's, one percent is Lu Yuantong's, and one percent is for the county order Huang Haigui.

Under such layers of protection.

Nanhua County has become a steady stream of income for several of them.

This is also a typical official-to-official protection.

When Xue Mu thought of this, he was also a little angry in his heart.

After all, he found that the displaced refugees outside the city looked homeless one by one.

But those old men in the city eat meat in large quantities, and their wives and concubines are in groups, completely ignoring the lives of people outside.

How can such an official be a good official?

However, at the moment, Xue Mu didn't have much to do to change all this.

He's just a god hunter now.

Can't do much.

"When I get promoted in the future and have more rights, let's overturn the case for Lord Xu Jie."

This is what Xue Mu thinks in his heart.

Walking and walking, I came to the publication in particular.

"Shopkeeper Zhou."

"Ouch, Agui, you're finally here." When Zhou Qingshan saw Xue Mu, it was like seeing a cash cow.

Xue Mu took out two new manuscripts from his arms: "This manuscript is for you." ”

"Ah Gui, don't you know, after the "Dream of Red Mansions" was updated to the 10th time, almost all the girls and sons in the capital now come to me to buy serialized copies, urging me every day."

"Can you ask your young lady to write more, and let me talk to them too." Zhou Qingshan asked.

Xue Mu laughed: "It's too much, the shopkeeper, things are scarce, if the frequency of updates is too fast, they will naturally not cherish it." ”

"It makes sense, so take your time, after all, quality is more important." Zhou Qingshan immediately took out a large bag of silver taels from the cabinet: "This time the silver taels are a bit much, do you want me to let my subordinates escort you back." ”

"No need." Xue Mu shook his head: "I'll come by myself." ”

"Okay, then Agui will go slowly, let your young lady write a good draft."

"Okay."

Xue Mu was about to come out of the publication.

Meanwhile.

An unpleasant thing happened on the second floor of the tea house.

I saw a little brother in Hukoutang, looked at Zhao Ruoli, and warned again: "My helmsman admires his face and asks you to accompany him, but you don't want to, don't you know how to write dead words?" ”

Qing'er was very angry, but she was a little helpless.

Because Meng Zhi is not around today.

But if the Great Commander of Fanmeng had been around, these people would have died with broken hands and feet long ago.

Qing'er scolded angrily: "This is in the capital, how can you be so presumptuous? ”

"Joke, who doesn't know that this street is covered by our tiger's mouth? Who doesn't know our grandfather? The little brother slapped the table again and asked arrogantly: "I'll ask you the chick again, to go or not to go?" ”

Zhao Ruoli looked at him calmly, picked up the cup of tea in front of him, took a sip, and then said: "I won't go to see him, if he wants to come, he can come and pick me up." ”

"Yo! What a big breath. As he spoke, the younger brother raised his arm and wanted to slap him in the face.

At this time, Chen Tai walked over, surrounded by several people.

I saw him kick the little brother who was about to slap away, and cursed: "Okay, you winter melon head, how can you treat such a beautiful girl like this?" Go back and kneel for me an hour today. ”

When the younger brother heard this, he took two steps back in embarrassment.

Zhao Ruoli looked at the so-called Chen Tai and didn't speak, just continued to drink tea.

Chen Tai saw that she looked at ease, and he was even more interested.

Sometimes men are like that.

The more the woman ignored him.

The more he wanted to move forward.

With a thrill of conquest.

Chen Tai then sat in front of Zhao Ruoli and asked, "I don't know the girl's name?" ”

"Zhao Li."

"Where do you live?"

Zhao Ruoli looked at him and smiled: "I think it's best for you not to ask too clearly." ”

Chen Tai laughed.

Everyone around him laughed too.

"Girl, you don't inquire, this street is covered by me Chen Tai, I don't know if the girl is married, if not, I will go to your house tomorrow to propose, how about you be my concubine?" Chen Tai asked.

Qing'er felt that these people were very unreasonable, so she said angrily: "Do you know who she is, she is"

was just about to tell Zhao Ruoli's identity, but Zhao Ruoli interrupted: "Qing'er, don't say it. ”

When Chen Tai heard it, he was happy.

This is a pig with a nose and an elephant.

He sent out an invitation again: "Miss Zhao, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, or we will come to the door today to propose marriage, let's go, I will take you to see my father-in-law and mother-in-law." ”

As he spoke, Chen Tai was about to stretch out his hand.

The moment she stretched out her hand, Zhao Ruoli slapped it directly, and then took the chopsticks on the table and inserted them directly.

"Ah!!h

Chen Tai's eyes widened as he watched as a small hole was poked in his palm.

Everyone else was surprised.

They rushed up, wanting to help their own hall master.

Then the next second, a voice came.

"Stop it."

At this point, everyone looked back.

They immediately shouted: "Strategist! ”

I saw Xue Mu calmly walking over, looking at Chen Tai and asking, "Are you molesting a woman from a good family again?!" ”

Chen Tai pointed to his bloody hands and replied painfully: "Xue, Lord Xue, you are wronged." ”

They were heard shouting for the military advisor.

Zhao Ruoli, who was sitting there still, narrowed her eyes slightly, as if watching a play, and felt very interesting.
