Don't be defensive girl, I'm blind

Chapter 166 The Cat Demon in the Palace? !Enter the palace openly! (Looking good! Please subscribe!)
Xue Mu heard Nangong Xue mentioning the eldest princess, so he asked curiously: "Sister Xue'er, do you know the eldest princess?"

Nangong Xue shook her head: "I don't know."

"Judging from your tone, I thought you knew each other just now." Xue Mu asked intentionally.

Sure enough, Nangong Xue explained: "Although I don't know her, I have heard that she is the smartest woman in Daqing. She often speaks carefully about policies that benefit the country and the people."

"It's rare that sister Xue'er praises someone without reservation." Xue Mu began to tease.

After hearing this, Nangong Xue looked at him: "Why do you say it's rare? It's as if I haven't praised you before."

"It seems that there is no such thing." Xue Mu laughed.

"I already admit that you are a boyfriend, isn't that a compliment?" Nangong Xue frowned and said.

Only then did Xue Mu come to his senses, and he explained to Nangongxue what he meant by boyfriend, that is, a capable and smart man.

He quickly smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I am my boyfriend."

Nangong Xue didn't care much when she saw his playful smile.

And at this moment, a figure passed by quickly.

Xue Mu and Nangongxue reacted immediately.

They thought it was a sneak attack.

Immediately get into a fighting stance.

Unexpectedly, that figure said on the other side of the wall: "My lord, hurry to Nanhua County, someone is going to attack Huang Haigui."

Xue Mu could tell that it was Liu Xiaodao's voice.

He immediately asked, "How do you know?"

"The specific details, I will tell you later, you go quickly."

"it is good."

After a while, the figure disappeared.

Nangongxue looked at his posture and found that he was very similar to Xue Mu's qinggong, so she asked, "Is that person your eyeliner?"

"Yes." Xue Mu nodded: "My lord, he said that Huang Haigui was in danger. Someone should have tried to kill him, so let's go quickly."

"it is good."

Saying that, Nangong Xue looked at Zheng Jun and the others: "Hurry up and follow, Xue Qianhu and I will go first."

"Yes."

After a while, Xue Mu and Nangong Xue used lightness kung fu to quickly rush towards Nanhua County.

Although Xue Mu couldn't see with his eyes, he was able to rely on Nangongxue's position, listen to the sound, and move quickly.

Nangongxue was also worried that Huang Haigui's safety would be threatened if he took a step too late.

So she couldn't help speeding up.

And the other side.

In the inner courtyard of the yamen.

Huang Haigui was lying on the teacher's chair, and the maids on both sides were fanning the wind.

One of them was still holding a small plate and feeding him.

Although his cousin was in prison, Huang Haigui was not worried at all.

Because he had already written to Lu Yuantong of the Criminal Ministry yesterday.

As long as Lu Yuantong gets stuck, then the God Detective Division will have nothing to do with him.

Although Nanhua County is only a small county.

But the location is great.

The fields here have higher yields every season than in other counties.

It also caused many officials to focus on the fields here.

Huang Haigui is the parent officer of Nanhua County.

Naturally, he wanted to please the boss above.

So he asked the master to divide the fields of those villagers secretly, and finally donated the ten acres of land to the people above.

Generally speaking, out of [-]% of the money, you have to give [-]% to your superiors, and you have to give [-]% to your subordinates.

In the end, you can get less than [-]%.

Just like that, he would still be scolded by those villagers.

This money is really hard to earn.

However, the trickle flowed.

As long as you persevere, you will definitely make a lot of money.

It's just that half a year ago, that guy Xu Jie came to investigate the taxation of the land.

Huang Haigui was taken aback by this.

Although Xu Jie is already the head of the household department, he has served as the secretary of the household department after all.

A dead skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

Anyway, he was also someone the emperor once trusted.

What if one day, he was called back to occupy an important position?
After finally getting rid of Xu Jie, he was now being entangled by the people from the Shenhun Division.

"It's really troublesome."

Huang Haigui sighed.

Suddenly, he felt that the maidservants on both sides stopped shaking their fans.

So he responded: "What's the matter? Didn't you eat?"

But the servants on both sides did not respond.

Huang Haigui opened his eyes, wanting to teach the two maids a lesson.

It turned out that the two maids were already lying on the ground.

The neck was smeared.

Blood gushed out continuously.

The appearance of death is extremely ugly.

He was startled.

Hastily jumped up from the teacher's chair.

Then the two people behind him held him down and came in front of him.

When Huang Haigui saw it, he was terrified. He quickly asked, "You two heroes, who are you?"

"The person who wants to kill you." The two men covered their faces and were dressed in black, and they were already prepared.

Huang Haigui was frightened, he said anxiously: "If you want money, I can give it to you, as long as you don't hurt me."

"Hand over the ledger." One of them said.

"What ledger?" Huang Haigui was a little puzzled.

At this time, another person drew out a sharp knife and directly inserted it into Huang Haigui's thigh.

Huang Haigui yelled in pain: "Ahhhhhhhhh!!"

"Quickly, where is the ledger?"

"What account book?" Huang Haigui clutched his thigh, not knowing what they were talking about.

Another person finally reminded in a low voice: "You handed over the ledger to the Ministry of Punishment."

Hearing this, Huang Haigui immediately understood.

Surprised and terrified, he kept backing away, "You, you were sent by Lu Yuantong to kill me."

The man in black threatened: "As long as you hand over the account book, we will keep your family safe. If you don't hand over, we will destroy the family."

The next second, he cut Huang Haigui's leg again.

Huang Haigui's forehead was covered with beads of sweat. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Is it because I handed over the account book, you will let my wife and children go, and you will never hurt them."

"Yes."

"Okay, I'll pay it, it's just under the third floor tile at the door of my room." Huang Haigui pointed to his room and said.

The two men in black looked at each other, and then one of them entered the room.

Another person is in charge of guarding Huang Haigui.

Once the ledger is confirmed to be correct.

He wanted to kill Huang Haigui himself.

But why would Huang Haigui sit still and wait for death?
He saw the timing.

Pushed the man in black directly, and then ran towards the gate of the inner courtyard, shouting while running: "Help, help."

However, no one in the inner courtyard answered.

The man in black behind him immediately stood up, holding a sharp knife in his hand, and cursed, "You're looking for death."

Then he rushed over.

Because of a leg injury, Huang Haigui fell to the ground within two steps.

He looked back at the man in black who rushed over, very scared.

He quickly covered his face with his hands, not daring to take another look, and kept muttering: "Help, help."

After a few seconds, Huang Haigui slowly opened his eyes.

Only then did I realize that I was still alive.

He raised his head and watched the man in black faint on the ground.

There are two more people beside me.

It was Nangong Xue and Xue Mu.

Huang Haigui immediately begged for mercy: "Lord Nangong, Lord Xue, please save the officer, someone is going to kill me."

At this time, another man in black came out of the room.

Obviously, he got nothing.

Just when he was desperate and wanted to ask Huang Haigui to question him, he saw his companion lying on the ground, as well as the Shenhunsi and others.

The man in black immediately climbed up the wall, wanting to leave.

However, in the next second, Xue Mu followed up with Wuying microsteps, and then knocked him down with a fist of Tianlei Fist.

On the other side of the outer wall, Zheng Jun and others were already waiting.

They caught the man in black one after another.

Huang Haigui was surprised to see this scene.

Xue Mu is obviously blind.

How can you still fly over the wall?

Such a precise attack on the opponent.

Before he had time to think, Huang Haigui hurriedly came to Nangong Xue and begged for mercy: "Master Nangong, Lu Yuantong wants to kill me, and those are the killers they sent."

"How do you know?" Nangong Xue asked.

"They...they must be from the Ministry of Punishment, you will know as soon as you ask." Huang Haigui pointed to the man in black and said.

Not long after, the two men in black were tied up.

The man in black who had just been knocked out also woke up at this moment.

They saw things exposed.

Glancing at each other, they finally made a decision.

Two seconds later, they vomited blood and died.

Zheng Jun and others were very surprised: "What the hell is going on?"

Xue Mu said calmly: "They have hidden poison in their mouths. Once the mission fails, they will bite the poison and kill themselves."

Huang Haigui saw them lying on the ground, spitting blood, and couldn't help but cursed: "You deserve it, bah!"

Seeing that he looked like a villain, Nangongxue stepped on his injured thigh directly.

Huang Haigui suddenly cried out in pain.

"Let me ask you, why are you so sure that Lu Yuantong sent an assassin to kill you?" Nangongxue asked.

Huang Haigui supported his thigh, and said in unbearable pain: "Because, because he is afraid that I will let them out, so he must cut the grass and root out."

"Then why didn't they kill you just now?" Xue Mu continued to ask.

Huang Haigui hesitated a little, as if he was unwilling to answer.

Nangong Xue took a look and stepped on his leg again: "Are you going to say it or not? If you don't say it, then let's leave now. I don't guarantee that you will still die by the killer he sent tonight."

"Don't, don't, Master Nangong, I'll just say it." Huang Haigui said anxiously: "It's because I will record any relationship with interests in a ledger. The reason why they didn't kill me immediately is because they want me to say Where is the account book, as long as I tell the account book, then my family will be safe, otherwise, the family will be destroyed."

"Where is the ledger?" Nangong Xue asked immediately.

Huang Haigui hesitated for a while.

He didn't know whether he should hand over the ledger or not.

Xue Mu knew what he was thinking, and then he said calmly: "The God Detective Division is different from the Ministry of Punishment. Anyone who has committed crimes and made meritorious deeds can be punished at our discretion."

"Really?" Huang Haigui immediately became excited when he heard this.

"You can ask Mrs. Nangong, she is the deputy commander, and in the God Arrest Division, we usually listen to her." Xue Mu brought up Nangongxue's name.

Nangong Xue finally nodded: "If you hand over the account book, I can guarantee you not to die."

"Okay, I'll hand it over now."

With that said, Huang Haigui staggered to his feet.

"I warn you, don't play any tricks." Nangong Xue then looked at Zheng Jun: "Zheng Jun, you take someone to fetch it with him."

"Okay, Mr. Nangong."

Just like that, Zheng Jun, Zhou Fu and others escorted Huang Haigui into the room.

During this process, Nangongxue asked Xue Mu: "How many officials do you think will be involved this time? Is it necessary to report to Master Lu?"

"After we read the ledger, we will explain the situation to Mr. Lu according to the actual situation. I'm afraid we can't decide on this matter." Xue Mu replied.

Nangongxue nodded after hearing this.

Have to say, work with him.

I don't need to use my brain much.

After all, Xue Mu took on most of the brain power.

Thinking of this, Nangong Xue praised Xue Mu in her heart.

Now his strength is comparable to his own, so now he is just a thousand households.

But presumably after some time, there must be a better future.

Thinking of this, Nangong Xue also recalled the exhortations of her aunt Nangong Wei.

She once told herself to treat Xue Mu better, only in this way can he have himself in his heart.

So Nangong Xue said: "If you successfully get the ledger today and bring the relevant personnel back to the prison, it will be considered a meritorious service. Then I will cook myself and cook some delicious dishes for you."

Hearing this, Xue Mu suddenly felt a little scared.

The Kung Pao Chicken last time, he already felt salty.

I don't want to feel that way again.

But in order to take Nangong Xue's face into consideration.

Xue Mu finally said, "Okay."

Nangongxue thought that he was looking forward to her cooking skills, and then said: "Don't worry, I will make an extra serving of Kung Pao Chicken and put it in front of you. You can eat whatever you want."

"it is good."

Xue Mu couldn't help feeling a chill down his back.

After a while, Zheng Jun and others came out.

Holding a ledger in his hand, Zheng Jun said to Xue Mu and Nangongxue, "My lord, there is a ledger."

"Okay, take Huang Haigui back to the dungeon, look up the relevant personnel on the ledger, and write them down one by one. I want Feige to pass the letter to Master Lu."

"Yes."

Lu Yuantong was fidgeting in the Ministry of Punishment at this time.

He didn't know whether the ledger had been destroyed or not.

The most written name on it is him.

If someone from the God Detective Department found out in advance, then it is very likely that he will be finished.

Just as he was thinking, there was a knock on the door.

He immediately opened the door and pulled the person outside the door in.

"How?" Lu Yuantong asked anxiously.

The man shook his head and said, "They didn't get the ledger, but they were discovered by the people from the God Detective Department."

"What about them? Have they escaped?"

"No, but committed suicide by taking poison."

"That's good, at least we won't be found out."

At this time, the man hesitated and said: "But... Huang Haigui is not dead, and it seems that he took the initiative to hand over the account book to the people of the Shenhun Department."

Hearing this, Lu Yuantong sat down on the ground in fright.

He gasped heavily.

"Huang Haigui, why isn't Huang Haigui dead yet?"

Xue Mu, Nangongxue and others returned to the Shenhun Division, intending to interrogate Huang Haigui immediately.

However, Pei Renfa came out immediately, and said to Nangongxue, "My lord, there are people coming from the palace."

"what happened?"

Nangong Xue walked in immediately.

I found a father-in-law standing in the yard.

Nangongxue looked familiar, recalling that this seemed to be Eunuch Cao, the chief executive of the palace.

After Eunuch Cao saw Nangong Xue, he immediately stepped forward and said, "The Sa family has seen Mr. Nangong."

"Nangongxue met Eunuch Cao."

Xue Mu also responded from the side: "The arresting officer Xue Mu has met Eunuch Cao."

"I didn't expect this to be Mr. Xue." Eunuch Cao looked at Xue Mu and sized him up and down.

Xue Mu was a little surprised: "Eunuch Cao knows me?"

"The Sa family doesn't know you, but Concubine Mu Gui in the palace mentioned you in front of the empress." Eunuch Cao said with a smile: "She said you have a good looks and talent, and Master Nangong is a match made in heaven."

Hearing this, Nangong Xue was very embarrassed.

She hurriedly asked: "Eunuch Cao, do you have any important business to come here today?"

"Almost forgot the business." Eunuch Cao immediately explained: "There have been cats meowing in the harem lately at night."

"Meowing? Isn't this normal?" Xue Mu was a little puzzled.

"But every night when cats meow, a maid or eunuch will die in the palace. These days, people are panicking. Some people say that it is a cat monster who is killing her. An adult is entering the palace to handle the case."

Eunuch Cao's words made Xue Mu and Nangong Xue realize the problem immediately.

Then Nangongxue looked at Zheng Jun and said, "Zheng Jun, if you put Huang Haigui in jail, you must keep that ledger well, and no one can read it except me."

"Yes."

Afterwards, Nangongxue and Xue Mu followed Eunuch Cao into the palace.

On the way into the palace, Eunuch Cao reminded: "Master Nangong, Mr. Xue, we have to go to the bedroom of Concubine Wan Gui."

Xue Mu was taken aback, then asked, "Why?"

"Because the one who heard the meow last night was in the direction of Concubine Wan Gui's bedroom." Eunuch Cao explained.

Xue Mu's heart skipped a beat.

Is it
Is this Wan Guifei Mo Xi'er in danger?

On the other side, Mo Xi'er dipped the corners of her eyes with water, looked at the bronze mirror, and made an expression, trying to put on a look of fear and sincerity
