Chapter 181: A Hero Saves the Beauty? !Save the princess! (must see, please subscribe)

On the way back, Nangongxue looked at Xue Mu, obviously feeling a little unbelievable.

She couldn't help asking: "Do you know Commander Namon?"

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

"Then why I feel that he and you seem to have known each other, and I asked him to increase the number of patrols and put them in every well of the harem to guard, but he refused."

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

Xue Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "How do I know? Besides, he is the commander-in-chief of the imperial army, and I'm just a thousand households of the God Detective Division. No matter how capable I am, I can't get to know such a big man."

Hearing this, Nangong Xue also felt that it made some sense.

So she didn't study too much.

In short, it is always a good thing that the Forbidden Army can help the God Detective Division to solve the case.

And the other side.

Meng Zhi had long been waiting in the eldest princess' bedroom.

After Zhao Ruoli left the court hall, Qing'er stepped forward and said to him: "His Royal Highness, Commander Meng is here to see you."

She immediately looked at Meng Zhi and asked, "They came to look for you?"

Meng Zhi nodded and cupped his hands: "Sure enough, as the eldest princess expected, Nangong Xue and Xue Mu did come to look for Wei Chen, and Wei Chen also agreed to follow the eldest princess's entrustment."

"Okay, then this time, you should also ask the brothers under your command to pay more attention to see if there are any suspicious people in the palace. After all, several cases have occurred one after another, which can be regarded as dereliction of duty by the imperial 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 becomes a big deal, it is very likely that His Majesty will blame himself for the crime of ineffective protection by the imperial guards.

At that time, the salary will be fined at the slightest, and the post of commander will even be lost if it is severe.

So Meng Zhi naturally listened to what Zhao Ruoli said.

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

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

"Yes, Your Royal Highness."

Qing'er naturally knows that today is most likely the day when Xue Mu will go on a trip.

So Zhao Ruoli was determined 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 doesn't even know who did it?
Moreover, there are so many concubines and beauties in the harem, so it is not convenient to check them one by one. After all, those are the emperor's women. If something happens, His Majesty will definitely blame himself.

In addition, in the harem, there are many court ladies and eunuchs up and down, which is already a lot in terms of base number.

It is even more difficult to investigate.

However, fortunately, the empress did not blame her.

It's just to let the God Detective Division solve the case as soon as possible, so as to prevent the case from getting bigger and bigger.

But in fact, Xue Mu was not worried.

No matter how you say it, you are just a thousand households.

Even if you want to ask the sin god arresting department, the first one is the commander Lu Jianghe.

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

Although Nangongxue helped herself shoot the gun at any rate, Xue Mu still had no choice but to help her when she accidentally lost her head.

The current situation is already clear at a glance.

Either the mastermind in the harem showed his chicken feet and was caught by them.

Or the forbidden army waited on the sidelines to find clues.

Other than that, there is no other way.

Xue Mu counted the time and slipped away through the back door when he was about to be on duty.

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

"grown ups."

"Liu Xiaodao?"

Xue Mu was a little surprised.

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

"Xiaodao, why are you here? Where have you been during this time?"

Liu Xiaodao chuckled: "My lord, I will investigate the case for you."

"Investigate the case?" Xue Mu didn't tell him to investigate the case.

So he wondered, "Why don't I know what case to investigate?"

"It was the case of dividing up the land in Zhangjiazhuang." Liu Xiaodao explained.

Upon hearing this, Xue Mu immediately pulled him aside and asked in a low voice, "What did you find?"

Liu Xiaodao replied: "My lord, when I found out that Master Xu Jie was investigating this case, I knew there must be something tricky, so I visited Zhangjiazhuang and most of the villagers in Nanhua County, and they told me."

"Actually, most of the fields are not owned by Huang Shoucheng, that is, the old landlord, not his uncle Huang Haigui, but managed by a housekeeper."

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

He couldn't help asking: "Who is that housekeeper? Have you found any news?"

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

Liu Xiaodao continued: "So I followed behind him all the way, and then I came to a mansion, and that mansion was written as Cui Mansion."

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

That is Choi Hyuk, Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

But he didn't preconceive it first, instead he asked Liu Xiaodao: "Have you found out who the owner of this mansion is?"

"Of course I found it." Liu Xiaodao said to himself, "I squatted for three days and three nights, and finally found out the owner of the Cui Mansion. He is Cui He, Minister of Criminal Affairs of the Daqing Dynasty."

"It's really him."

Xue Mu whispered to himself.

Liu Xiaodao then asked: "My lord, this guy must have something to do with the fields in Nanhua County. Do you want to check it out?"

Xue Mu shook his head: "For the time being, don't use it for now. This Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment 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 from his pocket: "You have worked hard these days, and I didn't expect you to be silently investigating this matter, remember to tell me your whereabouts in advance next time, otherwise I will be worried. "

Hearing this, Liu Xiaodao was naturally moved.

After all, since I was a child, no one has said these words of concern.

He didn't accept the money, but said instead: "My lord, don't worry, as long as I'm here, your information and safety will be on my shoulders."

Xue Mu laughed, and then asked tentatively, "Guess how strong I am now?"

Only then did Liu Xiaodao realize that Xue Mu's strength has developed rapidly.

He shook Xue Mu's arm, and said in amazement, "My lord, how did your strength develop so quickly?"

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

Liu Xiaodao also felt ashamed: "Back then, my lord couldn't even walk without a shadow, but now not only is my lightness skill better than mine, but even my physical strength is higher than mine. From now on, I'll have to live with my lord."

"Don't worry, if I'm here one day, you will never be hungry, no matter what, we have a life-long friendship." Xue Mu patted him on the shoulder and explained.

After a few simple chats, Liu Xiaodao left.

When he was halfway there, he found that there was some burden on his body.

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

"Your Excellency is so kind to me. If I were a woman, I would definitely agree with her."

"It's a pity, I have my hands."

"Hey"

Afterwards, Liu Xiaodao went to his favorite stall and asked the boss for ten chicken butts.
Xue Mu briefly sorted out the current clues.

At the beginning, Xu Jie, who was the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, had repeatedly reported to His Majesty because of the tax reform, which caused Qing Emperor Longyan to be furious and demoted him to be the head of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

But even though Xu Jie was demoted to the head of the household department, he still investigated the local taxation issue.

The first step was to go to Nanhua County to investigate the land allocation in Zhangjiazhuang.

When he discovered that the fields of many villagers had been secretly reduced, he wrote down that booklet for the purpose of using it as evidence in the future.

In the end, he was framed by someone 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 put him in prison is probably Cui Hyuk, Minister of the Ministry of punishment.

And his subordinate Lu Yuantong was his pawn.

Perhaps [-]% of the harvested fields belonged to Cui He, [-]% belonged to Lu Yuantong, and [-]% belonged to the county magistrate Huang Haigui.

Under such layers of protection.

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

This is also a typical official mutual protection.

When Xue Mu thought of this, he felt a little angry.

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

However, those gentlemen in the city gorge on meat, wives and concubines gather in groups, completely disregarding the life and death of people outside.

How can such an official be a good official?
However, right now Xue Mu doesn't have many ways to change all of this.

Now he is just a god arresting Si Qianhu.

Can't do much.

"When I get promoted in the future and have more rights, I will reverse the case for Mr. Xu Jie."

This is what Xue Mu thought in his heart.

Walking and walking, especially came to the issue.

"Treasurer Zhou."

"Oh, Agui, you are finally here." Zhou Qingshan looked at Xue Mu as if he saw a cash cow.

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

"Ah Gui, you don't know, after the 10th chapter of "Dream of Red Mansions", almost all the girls and young men in the capital city come to me to buy the serialized version, urging me every day."

"Can you ask your lady to write more, so that I can communicate with them." Zhou Qingshan asked.

Xue Mu laughed: "It's too late, shopkeepers, rare things are precious, if the update frequency is too fast, they will naturally not cherish it."

"It makes sense, so take your time, after all, quality is more important." Zhou Qingshan then took out a large bag of silver taels from the cabinet: "This time the silver taels are quite a lot, do you want me to let my family The men will escort you back."

"No need." Xue Mu shook his head: "I can do it myself."

"Okay then, Agui, let's go slowly, let your lady write a manuscript."

"it is good."

Xue Mu was about to step out of the publication.

at the same time.

Unpleasant things happened on the second floor of the teahouse.

I saw a younger brother from Hukoutang, looking at Zhao Ruoli, warned once again: "My rudder master gave me a favor and asked you to go and accompany him, but you refused, do you not know how to write death?"

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

Because Meng Zhi is not around today.

But if Commander Meng was by his side, these people would have died by the side 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 us? Who doesn't know our Lord Tai?" The younger brother patted the table again and asked arrogantly: "I'll ask you again, girl, should you go or not? "

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 pick me up."

"Yo! What a big tone." The younger brother raised his arm as he spoke, wanting to slap him.

At this moment, Chen Tai came over, surrounded by several people.

He kicked away the little brother who was about to slap him, and cursed: "You melon head, how can you treat such a beautiful girl like this? Go back and kneel for an hour today."

Hearing this, the younger brother took two steps back in embarrassment.

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

Chen Tai became even more interested when he saw her calm look.

Sometimes men are like that.

The more women ignore him.

The more he wanted to move forward.

With a thrill of conquest.

Chen Tai immediately sat in front of Zhao Ruoli and asked, "Don't you know the girl's name?"

"Zhao Li."

"Where do you live?"

Zhao Ruoli looked at him and smiled: "I think you'd better not ask too clearly."

Chen Tai laughed.

Everyone around laughed too.

"Girl, you don't want to 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 marriage. How about you being my concubine?" Chen Tai asked. road.

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

Just when she was about to reveal Zhao Ruoli's identity, Zhao Ruoli interrupted: "Qing'er, don't tell me."

When Chen Tai heard it, he was overjoyed.

This is a pig pretending to be an elephant with its nose inserted.

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

With that said, Chen Tai was about to reach out his hand.

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

"what!!!"

Chen Tai's eyes widened, watching a small hole was poked in his palm.

Everyone else was also surprised.

They swarmed forward, wanting to vent their anger on their hall master.

Then the next second, a voice came.

"Stop me all."

At this time, everyone looked back.

They immediately shouted: "Military division!"

Xue Mu walked over calmly, looked at Chen Tai and asked, "Are you molesting a good woman again?!"

Pointing to his bloody hand, Chen Tai replied in pain: "Xue, Mr. Xue, you are wronged."

I heard them calling the military division.

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