Don't be defensive girl, I'm blind

Chapter 140 Entering the palace at midnight and attacking the empress

Nangong Xue returned to the room.

Think for a while.

She was wondering what happened to herself.

Why did Xue Mu think it was rouge when there was something red on Xue Mu's mouth.

Even if his lips are rouge.

That... That has nothing to do with her.

Yes, nothing to do with her.

Nangong Xue is still brainwashing herself.

"He represents the image of the God Detective Department. If the image is not good enough, it will lose the face of the God Detective Department. Well, yes."

With great difficulty, she finally found a reason to sleep and sleep.

While thinking about it, there was a knock on the door of the room.

Nangong Xue asked, "Who?"

Xue Mu replied awkwardly outside the door: "Sister Xue'er, it's me."

Nangong Xue heard his voice.

Feeling a little excited.

But after opening the door, she still asked, "Why are you here?"

"Sister Xue'er, I want to explain to you that my lips are red because I ate the steamed stuffed bun made by Mrs. Zheng Zongqi today." Xue Mu pretended to explain embarrassingly.

Nangongxue felt happy when he heard him explain to herself.

But she still pretended to be calm and said: "Why are you explaining to me? If you get it, you get it."

"I'm afraid that Miss Xue'er might misunderstand, so it's better to explain."

After hearing this, Nangongxue said without changing her face: "Okay, I know, it's a big deal, I have to come here specially, hurry up and get down to business."

"Yes, my lord."

"Well?"

"Yes, Miss Xue'er."

Nangong Xue closed the door calmly.

But after closing it, she couldn't help but snicker.

at the same time.

Cui He, Minister of the Criminal Ministry, and Lu Jianghe, the commander of the capital, were waiting in Fengtian Hall early in the morning.

Emperor Qing Zhao Hongyin leaned on the dragon couch with his eyes closed, and asked Cui He and Lu Jianghe in front of him, "What's the matter for coming to see me so early?"

Cui He, Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry, said nervously, "Your Majesty, there was a corpse fraud case in the capital a few days ago."

"When there is a corpse fraud case, your criminal department and Lu Aiqing's arresting department will deal with it, and this kind of thing is going to bother me?" Zhao Hongyin was obviously a little upset.

After all, the national teacher has been exhorting and exhorting ten thousand times that he needs to rest recently, so that he can completely digest the elixir he took two days ago, so that he can live forever.

However, there are always some people who bother him.

This made Zhao Hongyin very unhappy.

At this moment, Lu Jianghe said in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, if this case involves the Ministry of War, I'm afraid that if the Department of Superintendents intervenes directly, why don't we let the people from the Ministry of Punishments come?"

Naturally, Lu Jianghe would not muddle through this muddy water.

Cui Hyuk, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, became even more nervous when he heard this.

Ministry of War, these are two words that give him a headache.

He won't be in jail.

So he quickly said: "Your Majesty, it's really not appropriate for the Ministry of Criminal Justice to handle this case. After all, the Ministry of Criminal Justice and the Ministry of War are at the same level. Or let Master Lu personally lead his subordinates to investigate. At any rate, the Department of Criminal Investigation is also specially supervised by His Majesty." Your errand."

Qing Emperor Zhao Hongyin felt that making a fuss out of a molehill, he glanced at Lu Jianghe, and then asked: "Lu Aiqing, how about letting you take over this case?"

Lu Jianghe was obviously in a dilemma.

But he can't refuse His Majesty.

So he had no choice but to say: "My minister accepts the order."

"That's how it is." Zhao Hongyin waved his hand: "Okay, you guys go down quickly, this case will be handled by the Superintendent of Detectives."

Lu Jianghe and Cui He also saluted and said, "I will leave."

Just as Lu Jianghe was leaving.

Zhao Hongyin thought of something, he beckoned to Lu Jianghe and said, "Leave this case to Nangongxue."

"Nangongxue?" Lu Jianghe was a little surprised.

"Well." Zhao Hongyin explained: "After all, she is my concubine, and everyone in the palace knows it more or less, so she doesn't have too many obstacles in doing things, and it doesn't involve the interests of all classes. go."

Lu Jianghe also nodded: "Your Majesty is considering, the minister will do it now."

"Well, go ahead, don't come to me if you have nothing to do." Zhao Hongyin said impatiently.

Lu Jianghe left Fengtian Hall.

At this moment, Cui Hyuk was waiting at the door.

When he saw Lu Jianghe, he smiled awkwardly and said, "Lord Lu."

Lu Jianghe also sighed: "Master Cui, you are pushing me into the fire pit."

Cui Hyuk also replied helplessly: "Master Lu, this Cui doesn't want to do this either. This case is related to the Ministry of War. Since it has been about the Ministry of War, how can we dare to interfere with the other five ministries?"

He smiled grinningly: "So I can only rely on Master Silu, the arresting master, to resolve this case."

Lu Jianghe had no choice but to say: "This is the end of the matter, His Majesty has already spoken, so this is the only way."

He looked at Cui Hyuk: "Master Cui, when I ask you for someone, you can't shirk it."

"Don't worry, if Mr. Lu needs any help, I, Cui, will definitely do my best." Cui He smiled while stroking the short beard of his chin.

But Lu Jianghe knew.

These are all polite words.

Cui Hyuk will definitely not be of much help at this critical moment.

Not long after, he returned to the Shenhun Division and found Nangongxue.

When Nangongxue learned that the God Detective Division was in charge of the corpse fraud case, she didn't show too much surprise.

Because she knew that this case involved the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Ministry of Punishment would definitely shirk it.

That being the case, it is very likely that the case will be assigned to the God Detective Division.

But she did not expect that Emperor Qing Zhao Hongyin would directly entrust this case to her.

Nangongxue asked Lu Jianghe: "Lord Lu, did His Majesty mention me?"

"Yes." Lu Jianghe nodded: "You are now the niece of Concubine Mu Gui, and many officials know about it, so it is most appropriate for you to investigate this case, and you don't Will be involved in the disputes of various classes."

"Lord Lu, this subordinate understands, and this subordinate will definitely do their best."

"If you can check it, check it. If you can't check it, let it be. I will tell His Majesty when the time comes." Lu Jianghe urged.

Nangongxue nodded: "Don't worry, Master Lu."

Before Lu Jianghe left, he thought of something, he turned to Nangongxue and asked, "Which place are you going to transfer this time?"

Nangong Xue hesitated for a moment.

She also knew that there must be a reason for Lu Jianghe to ask this question, so she asked, "What does Master Lu mean?"

"What I mean is that this case is unusual. Try to choose some hundred households who are close to you and have handled multiple cases to help you, such as Pei Renfa or Ma Guang'an." Lu Jianghe reminded.

After hearing this, Nangong Xue also nodded.

Then she also asked: "Xue Mu from the ten divisions"

Before she finished speaking, Lu Jianghe said: "He just came in and solved a salt production case in Beiquhe. He is really capable, but I also hope that he can settle down for a while. It is better not to let him participate in this case." .”

"Yes, my lord." Nangongxue felt that what he said made sense, so she didn't care too much.

After Lu Jianghe left, Nangongxue came to the training backyard of the God Detective Division.

"Everyone be quiet."

When she said this sentence, all the arresters from one to ten places were all lined up.

Awaiting order.

Nangongxue then looked at everyone and said, "Recently, there was a corpse fraud case. I believe everyone has heard about it. At present, this case is being handled by our God Detective Department."

"Really?"

"I said it would definitely be handed over to us."

"Actually, I'm also quite curious about the origin of the corpse fraud case."

The people below are also whispering.

Nangong Xue continued: "This time, I will select two subordinates from the ten divisions to handle this case. After solving the case, I will accumulate your salaries and bonuses."

Everyone got excited when they heard it.

Especially the arresters of the tenth office!
To know.

The last time they solved the salt production case in Beiquhe, they took an extra half a month's salary.

That's a lot of money.

This opportunity is now available.

Everyone definitely hopes that Nangong Xue can bring them along.

At this time, Zheng Jun murmured to Xue Mu in a low voice: "My lord, maybe Lord Nangong will bring you with me this time, then our brothers from the ten divisions will have a chance."

Xue Mu knew that this case was no small matter.

He felt that it was better not to rush into this muddy water.

However, in front of Zheng Jun's brothers, he still had to show a look of expectation: "I also hope that Mr. Nangong will bring us. If we can solve the case, it will also allow you to earn more."

But at this time, Nangongxue looked at Pei Renfa and Ma Guangan and said, "Pei Baihu, Ma Baihu, this time, the subordinates of your two departments are responsible for following me in the case of corpse fraud."

Pei Renfa and Ma Guang'an didn't expect that Nangongxue would call them both.

After all, everyone has seen Nangongxue take care of Xue Mu before this.

They even secretly discussed whether Nangong Xue and Xue Mu are dating?
But now looking at it this way, Nangong Xue is still very fair.

Detectives everywhere have the opportunity to file and solve the case.

Xue Mu was not disappointed when he heard that Nangongxue didn't call his name.

Because of this case, Leng Mei also reminded him in advance not to let him participate.

Although Leng Mei is an outsider, Xue Mu believes in her judgment.

It's just that the brothers in the ten divisions feel a little uncomfortable.

"Oh, why didn't you call us?"

"Yes."

"We handled the case so well last time."

"I thought it would be given to us this time."

"It's okay, let's do it next time." Zheng Jun comforted the other brothers.

He also thought that Xue Mu was lost, so he also comforted: "Brother Xue, it's okay. I guess Mr. Nangong also wants to give the other brothers the chance to solve the case. After all, we have already solved the case once."

"Well, it's actually quite good." Xue Mu felt that this would also make him feel relaxed.

At this moment, Nangongxue looked at the two arresters and said, "Alright, let's set off with me now."

"Yes, my lord."

one afternoon.

Xue Mu was also bored.

He even asked Zhou Fu to read to him the case of the previous two years.

Only by accumulating more cases in your mind, can you quickly find similar cases and make corresponding judgments in the subsequent case handling process.

When he was on duty in the afternoon, he met Nangong Xue.

At this time, Nangongxue had brought people back from the crime scene.

Originally, Xue Mu thought he had nothing to do, so he planned to salute and go home to eat dumplings.
Unexpectedly, Nangong Xue stopped him: "Xue Mu, come in."

Xue Mu was a little surprised and walked into the room.

Nangong Xue said to him, "Close the door."

Xue Mu was a little apprehensive, going up and down.

Don't know what she wants to do.

I saw Nangong Xue explaining: "I went to see the location of today's corpse fraud case. It's a bit strange. You can analyze it after I tell you."

After hearing this, Xue Mu also sat down: "Sister Xue'er, tell me."

"The first place we visited was Pan Youliang, who used to be a lieutenant in the army. The night before yesterday was the anniversary of his death. When the family was offering incense to him, they suddenly found a corpse. sat in the room."

Xue Mu was a little puzzled when he heard this: "Sister Xueer, do you mean a complete corpse sitting in the room? Not a skeleton?"

"That's right, a flesh and blood corpse." Nangongxue replied.

This made Xue Mu a little strange.

One must know that a year ago, if he had been executed on the spot in the desert, how could he still be in the capital thousands of miles away now?
The most important point is that it has been a year, and the flesh has not rotted.

Leave this as a mummy.

Xue Mu immediately thought there was a big problem here, so he asked, "Then are you sure this person is dead?"

"We also invited Zuo Zuo, and performed an autopsy on the spot, but Zuo Zuo also found it very strange." Nangongxue was confused.

Xue Mu asked, "Why are you so strange?"

"This corpse has no heartbeat and no breathing, but he has no signs of decay or corpse spots, which is very unusual." Nangongxue explained.

Xue Mu asked again at this time: "Could it be that this corpse was coated with embalming cream?"

"I thought about your question at the time, but I didn't smell any embalming cream."

Nangongxue looked at him, "That's why I let you in to help analyze it."

Xue Mu didn't have much clue for a moment.

He then asked, "Then Pei Baihu and Ma Baihu, do they have any ideas?"

Nangongxue shook her head: "They didn't either."

"My subordinates can't think of it either." Xue Mu said awkwardly.

Seeing that he couldn't help, Nangong Xue had no choice but to say: "That's fine, then you go back first, I'll go read the book and see if I find anything new."

"Okay, then don't bother Sister Xue'er." With that said, Xue Mu was about to leave.

Nangongxue looked at him, hesitated for a while, and then asked, "Aren't you curious about this case?"

Xue Mu explained with a smile: "This case involves the Ministry of Military Affairs. I think it would be better if I were less curious."

"Don't forget, we are all members of the God Detective Department. If something goes wrong, we will all take care of it together. Now I am ordered to investigate this case. If the result is not found by then, His Majesty will be angry, and we will still be punished. People." Nangongxue replied indifferently.

When Xue Mu heard it, he sighed and said, "Why are you still sitting there?"

"So are you curious now?"

Xue Mu heard what she meant, and followed her words and said, "This subordinate is willing to help Sister Xue'er to solve this case."

Nangong Xue was also happy when she heard this sentence.

She nodded and said, "Okay, then you go back first."

"By the way, Miss Xue'er, I bought some supplements recently, and I'll share some with you, so you can eat when you have time." As he said, Xue Mu took out a small box.

After hearing this, Nangong Xue was a little surprised.

She didn't expect Xue Mu to buy supplements for herself.

Her face was still calm: "Okay, I see, I don't really need to mend."

Nangongxue glanced at him: "Instead, eat more, it might be good for your eyes."

"Everyone eats, and half of each person's relationship will not break up." Xue Mule said.

After he left, Nangongxue held the tonic in her hand, and said the sentence just now: "One person is half, the relationship will not break up."

After a while, a shy expression appeared on her face.

Xue Mu walked out of the God Detective Division.

Just as he was getting ready to go home.

A carriage stopped in front of him again.

Xue Mu thought it was Concubine Mu Gui who wanted to call him again, so he asked to enter the palace, and asked: "Miss Yun'er, why is it so late, my mother wants me to enter the palace."

Only a strange female voice was heard: "Mr. Xue, hello, I am the maidservant of Concubine Wan Gui. My name is Xiu'er. My wife is here to invite you."

Xue Mu was a little surprised when he heard this.

Concubine Wan Gui?
He suddenly thought of the imperial concubine who appeared in the middle of Penglai Hall two days ago.

Why is she looking for me too?

Did she have a niece to introduce me too?
Want to be my aunt too?
If this goes on like this, he will really be a fool!
　I'm sorry, I'm late. I treated my hand today and came back in the afternoon, but it still didn't go well. I guess this ganglion cyst can only be removed. Forget it, let's not worry about it. After the removal, there will be no time for this book I wrote it, and the doctor also said that there is no need to cut it. Let me move my hands less, apply more ointment, and treat conservatively first.

　　I have a meal now, and there will be another update later, everyone remember to subscribe
