Chapter 172 Princess Lanling: I despised Su Jijiu

"The humble position did not reveal the hiding place of the [-] Liao troops!"

Nangong Kui was neither humble nor arrogant, her tone was as indifferent as ever, and her face was as gloomy as ever.

This is mainly due to the status of the Prison Department. Nangong Kui is the third arrester of the Prison Department. Even the powerful Princess Lanling is not embarrassed...

After all, no matter how powerful Princess Lanling is, her status cannot be greater than that of Her Majesty the Queen.

The Prison Department is the sharp sword in the hands of Her Majesty the Queen. It is also like the Queen's private property and cannot be interfered with by others!
call!
Princess Lanling's eyes were slightly closed, and she slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.

Anger and "being played" emotions are also restrained.

When she opened her eyes again, her face was as usual, without any emotion or anger, and she asked in a calm tone:
"Then why did you ask to see me late at night?"

"Princess Qi, although I have not pried open the mouth of the secret envoy of the Liao Kingdom and asked him to reveal the hiding place of the [-] Liao troops. But... I have gained other rewards!"

"Oh?"

Princess Lanling's expression changed, but her tone remained calm and she asked:

"What harvest?"

"Princess Qi, according to my estimate, the Liao secret envoy will take the initiative to confess in a day or two!"

Princess Lanling's eyes suddenly lit up. She couldn't control herself. She looked at Nangong Kui's gloomy face and asked:
"Why so sure?"

Before Nangong Kui spoke, she could no longer control herself. She laughed for a while, looked at Nangong Kui and said:
"I still have confidence in your ability. Hahahaha, no matter what method you use, as long as you can pry open the mouth of the Liao envoy and let him reveal the hiding place of the [-] Liao army, I will personally start the report to Your Majesty. , please take credit for you!”

"what do you want?"

"..."

The corners of Nangong Kui's mouth twitched.

He knew in his heart that Princess Lanling had misunderstood.

But he is not a person who is greedy for merit, and there is no way to be greedy for merit in this matter, so he said with the same expression as before:
"Your Highness the Princess has misunderstood. I have concluded that the Liao secret envoy will confess within a day or two. It is not because of my humble position, but because of Su Jijiu!"

"..."

"Su...offering wine? Su Xian!"

Princess Lanling was stunned, her little mouth opened slightly, as if she had not yet reacted.

Recalling that three days ago, when Su Xian proposed this method, Princess Lanling herself was not optimistic about it.

Putting people in a small dark room, without inflicting torture, and even providing food... How can it be possible to get the prisoner to confess using this method?It's really contrary to common sense.

The reason why she agreed to Su Xian's "torsion" was mainly because of the two major contributions Su Xian had made.

But then, Princess Lanling forgot about it. Even if someone mentioned it, she would just shake her head.

But in the end, she was slapped several times.

Su Xian's method actually worked!
Nangong Kui took the initiative to endorse Su Xian, but she couldn't help but not believe it.

Through this incident, Princess Lanling also gained a new understanding of Su Xian, and she couldn't help but look at him with admiration...

On the side, Qiulan and Dongxue looked at each other with different expressions.

"That's right! It was precisely because of Su Jijiu's 'confinement method' that the secret envoy of the Liao Kingdom changed. It was because of this that I made the conclusion just now!"

Nangong Kui's expression remained as usual, her face gloomy and expressionless.

If it were anyone else, I'm afraid it would be difficult to accept the fact that Su Xian's method worked.

Because Su Xian's method can be said to have directly shaken Nangong Kui's foundation...

But Nangong Kui is not an ordinary person. He is only interested in studying how to pry open the prisoners' mouths, not various tortures. Torture is just a means.

The world has a deep misunderstanding of Nangong Kui...

"Please tell me in detail, what is going on? Su Jijiu...how can Su Xian's method work? I can't figure it out no matter what."

"Yes……"

"..."

With Nangong Kui's explanation, Princess Lanling and the two maids finally understood the whole story.

They didn't understand the reason, and neither did Nangong Kui.

After listening to the explanation, Princess Lanling relaxed her frown and said with a smile:
"Anyway, as long as we can pry the secret envoy of the Liao Kingdom's mouth open, my trip to Youzhou will be half completed."

"Congratulations, Your Highness Princess!" Qiulan and Dongxue congratulated.

"Ah."

Princess Lanling had a smile on her lips. She was in a very beautiful mood at the moment. This was the first time in the past few days.

When she was in a good mood, she would take a sip of Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup, but when her eyes fell on the jade bowl, she frowned slightly and then gave up the idea.

At this time, Nangong Kui, who was always expressionless, bowed and said:

"Princess Qi, I still have something to report to you for my humble position."

"Go ahead."

"Su Jijiu's 'confinement method' was almost destroyed by one person."

"What did you say?"

Princess Lanling showed a look of fear on her face, and then her face turned cold as she asked, "Who is it? You almost ruined a major event in this palace!"

"Reporting to the princess, that person is the official of the princess's mansion, the literary officer!"

"It's him……"

Princess Lanling thought for a while, her face turned extremely ugly, and she asked coldly: "What's going on?"

"Princess, do you still remember the bet between Su Jijiu and the literary officer?" Nangong Kui asked.

"Naturally remember."

"That's the problem. The literary officer bribed a subordinate of the Prison Department and found out about the secret envoy of the Liao Kingdom..."

"Knowing that the bet would fail, he devised a vicious plan."

"..."

"What evil plot?"

"He instigated the subordinate staff who delivered meals to the secret envoys of the Liao Kingdom to poison the meals, pretending to be the secret envoys of the Liao Kingdom who couldn't bear it and committed suicide."

Nangong Kui's voice was still calm, and there was still no expression on her handsome and feminine face.

But when Princess Lanling heard this, she became furious. She stood up and cursed:
"An dare, thief!"

If the Liao envoy was really killed by them, it would be equivalent to cutting off the only clue to the hiding place of the [-] Liao army.

Then, the period of returning to the capital of the gods, I don't know how long it will be delayed.

Of course none of this matters.

The important thing is that Princess Lanling can't prove herself through Youzhou and her party... instead, she will end up making a joke.

That kind of result was unbearable for her.

And the subordinate official in her palace, the literary official, almost pushed her into that embarrassing situation!

Being framed by her own people, even if Princess Lanling could control her emotions, she would explode at this moment...

In the princess's rage, Qiulan and Dongxue remained silent, not even daring to move a finger.

But Nangong Kui didn't care about this, he continued to report:
"That's not all. They also plan to put the blame for the death of the Liao envoy in the dungeon on Su Jijiu. It would be best to push him out and behead him in the princess's rage!"

"..."

After hearing this, Princess Lanling's majestic eyes suddenly stared, her pupils shrank, and her beautiful face became very ugly at this moment.

"Okay! Very good!"

Princess Lanling was extremely angry, "Not only did he plot to poison the Liao envoy, but he also planned to blame Su Xian? He also wanted to use me to get rid of Su Xian?"

"Oh well!"

"..."

At this moment, in Princess Lanling's heart, she was extremely angry with the literary officer. At the same time, she felt a sense of common hatred towards Su Xian.

"Come on!"

"exist."

Qiulan and Dongxue responded.

They are not only the maids and bodyguards of Princess Lanling, but also the officers of the "Prince's Tent House" and the "Prince's Marriage House".

More than two thousand personal guards and soldiers were under their command.

"Arrest the literary official quickly and behead him on the spot without any need to report back." Princess Lanling ordered coldly.

"Subordinates obey."

"..."

The two female officers immediately turned around and went out, their temperaments were completely different from when they didn't dare to move.

However, before the two women walked out of the room, Nangong Kui suddenly shouted calmly:
"Wait a minute!"

Who dared to block the princess's military order... Qiulan was dumbfounded.

Are you seeking death... Dongxue was confused.

But soon, the two of them realized that it was Nangong Kui... Then it would be fine.

The two women stopped and looked back at Princess Lanling.

The princess looked at Nangong Kui, frowned slightly and said:
"Do you have anything else to say about the third arrester?"

"Your Highness, I believe that the case of the Literary Officer conspiring to conspire with the Liao Kingdom's secret envoy is not as simple as it seems. There should be a mastermind behind it."

After all, Nangong Kui is the head catcher of the Criminal and Prison Department, and his way of looking at problems is different.

Princess Lanling reacted immediately and said: "I didn't think it through. The three arrests are right. Have the three arrests found out who is behind the scenes?"

When she said this, she could not help but picture the face of someone who was discussing joining the military.

Nangong Kui said: "It hasn't been found yet. But the current opportunity is not to deal with the case, but how we should deal with it."

"What's the best strategy for arresting three heads?"

"I have thought of a way!"

"..."

After about a quarter of an hour.

Nangong Kui left the princess' sleeping tent.

He returned to the west side of the camp, and based on his memory, walked towards a tent area where the prison staff stayed.

He directly broke into a tent, which was a bunk, and several subordinates slept together.

Nangong Kui didn't deliberately let go of her hands and feet, and pushed a subordinate to wake up with her hand, but the others were not affected.

This subordinate official was the one who was in charge of delivering meals to the secret envoy of the Liao Kingdom in the dungeon.

"Three...three arrests..." The subordinate woke up, his face full of horror.

"You come with me."

Nangong Kui said a word indifferently, turned around and walked out of the tent.

……

……

Su Xian didn't know anything about what happened in the marching camp.

Time goes back to this morning.

Su Xian left the camp and returned to the county seat of Leshou County... which should now be called Yingzhou City.

As soon as we entered the city, we met Tang Shujing.

She led dozens of young agents including Captain Lin, walking on the street, arrogantly.

"Miss Tang!"

Su Xian shouted loudly.

But Tang Shujing didn't seem to hear it. Maybe she did, but there were so many women named Tang, so it didn't necessarily mean they were calling her, so she didn't respond.

Ren Jiuxiong walked in front with high spirits.

"Miss Tang Er!"

"Sister Xian!"

Su Xian yelled twice more.

This time Tang Shujing heard clearly.

She stopped immediately, and when she turned around, her clean, white and pointed face was filled with dissatisfaction.

She doesn't like Su Xian calling her a "virtuous girl".

Su Xian guessed that it might be because "Xian" and "Xian" have the same pronunciation...

"Su...Brother Shi...you...you..."

Tang Shujing's dissatisfied face turned into envy at a speed visible to the naked eye, and there seemed to be little stars in her bright eyes.

Su Xian's heart was bright.

The reason why Tang Shujing is like this is not because of his own handsomeness.

It's because of the round-neck official robe he's wearing!

Su Xian stepped forward with a smile.

At the same time, he put his hand into his pocket and took out a candy wrapped in oil paper, holding it in his hand and tossing it gently.

"Has your official uniform been issued?"

Tang Shujing asked, the envious look on Guazi's face did not disappear.

"It's done, it fits quite well."

"cut!"

Tang Shujing turned her head away arrogantly, but turned back the next moment, looking up and down Su Xian's seventh-rank official robe, her eyes sparkled.

Tang Shujing's number one wish is to become the number one goddess catcher in the world.

The second greatest wish is to become a high official!
Nowadays, when the empress is in charge of the country, there are many women serving as officials. Tang Shujing thinks that she is no worse than those coquettish bitches, so she also wants to be a high official.

Of course, it would be best to be both the best goddess hunter in the world and a high official, that would be perfect.

In fact, there is a place that meets her requirements——

Prison Division.

With a smile on his face, Su Xian handed over the candy, spread it in his palm, and said with a smile:
"Take a good treat for you."

"What is this?" Out of curiosity, Tang Shujing held it in her snow-white hands.

"Miss Tang, do you think I'm handsome?" Su Xian asked immediately, with a look of expectation on his face.

"What?"

"Do you think I'm handsome or not?" Su Xian asked tirelessly.

"..."

At this time, the surrounding policemen and passers-by heard Su Xian's words.

He even asked others if he was handsome?

Why is this person so narcissistic?

Everyone was stunned.

After Tang Shujing was stunned for a moment, she instantly understood Su Xian's intention, but she was not satisfied with Su Xian's wish, so she smiled and said:

"The official robe you are wearing looks very nice!"

The implication is that the clothes are nice, but the person is not.

The look of expectation on Su Xian's face disappeared, he stretched out his hand and said coldly:

"give me back!"

"Who cares about it!"

Tang Shujing snorted coldly and threw the candy back.

Su Xian reached out to pick it up, but failed to catch it. In the end, he picked it up from the ground.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Tang Shujing was already laughing and walked away with the detectives.

Su Xian stood up, put the candy back into his pocket, looked at Tang Shujing's retreating back, and said harshly:

"Little girl, you will regret it!"

"..."

Patting his clothes, Su Xian walked towards Jiaolou Street... by carriage?

How is it possible to ride in a carriage?

If he were riding in a carriage, wouldn't others be able to see his skin?

However, as soon as Su Xian took a step, something suddenly moved in his heart. He took his steps back again, turned around, and walked towards the state government office.

……

After finally arriving at the yamen, Su Xian took a seat in the back hall of the back house and drank three cups of tea to quench his thirst.

At this time, Tang Ju also walked into the back hall wearing an official robe.

Su Xian stood up and slowly puffed out his chest.

"Nephew Su Xian, why are you so tired? Are you sweating profusely?" Tang Ju asked strangely.

Is this the point?It seems that Uncle Shi is getting old and his eyesight is not good... Su Xian sneered, waved his hand and said:

"It's not a big deal... By the way, Uncle Shi, my nephew happened to be passing by the Yamen Gate just after lunch, so he came to visit Uncle Shi..."

Tang Ju was stunned for a moment and said with a smile:

"My nephew is here just in time. Today your aunt bought a big fish that is one foot long. It is really rare. My nephew, why don't you stay and taste it together?"
