There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 396 How is it possible!

"Yes!"

After the court lady also retreated, Li Youqing found a huge bronze mirror, and took good photos again and again.

This time, if she wants to win back a victory in front of the Prison Department, she must show her best attitude...

at the same time.

The west side of the camp.

The permanent residence of the Prison Department.

In a large tent.

The two-headed Thousand-faced Fox and the third-headed Nangong Kui were sitting opposite each other, enjoying tea and chatting leisurely.

"Isn't what Second Brother is doing inappropriate?"

Nangong Kui has a soft and handsome face, a serious smile, and looks like everyone owes him thousands of taels, but at the same time, he also looks calm and wise.

"Haha... third brother, you are good at everything, but you are too serious, and you take the etiquette of the world too seriously, and you can't let go!"

The thousand-faced fox laughed wantonly, and a few strands of hair fluttered in front of his forehead, adding a touch of bohemian temperament to him.

Nangong Kui was sitting there kneeling upright, while he was lying in a horizontal position, shapeless, resting his head on his hands, teaching Nangong Kui:
"Who are we?"

"He's the head catcher of the Prison Department!"

"What kind of yamen is the Prison Department? That is Her Majesty the Queen's right-hand man. We can look down on the civil and military officials of the court. We only obey the orders of Her Majesty the Queen..."

"It's true that Princess Lanling is very powerful now. She can let my third brother accompany you to Hebei Road, and she can also let you work hard for her."

"However, I, the prison chief, the thousand-faced fox, is not so easy to handle."

"Other than that bad old man and Her Majesty the Queen, who dares to manipulate me at will?"

"..."

When Nangong Kui heard this, his brows jumped sharply, because Qian Mian Hu actually called the chief of the Criminal and Prison Department, Shao Si Kou, a "bad old man"?
"This time, Princess Lanling must have been very worried about this case. If the case cannot be solved, Princess Lanling's losses will be unimaginable!"

"Speaking of which, this case is indeed difficult. Even I, as the second arrester of the Prison Department, had no clue at the beginning."

"Hey, in the end, I relied on my unparalleled disguise skills to go to the Liao Kingdom and successfully solved the case."

"If it weren't for me, this case would never have been solved in 100 years..."

"So, not only do I want Princess Lanling to come here in person, but I also want to take the opportunity to ask for some benefits!"

"..."

Nangong Kui's face was handsome and gloomy. He raised his eyes and glanced at the Thousand-faced Fox. His eyelids twitched slightly, looking a little shocked, and asked: "What benefit does the second brother want to ask for?"

The thousand-faced fox lay on the ground, bohemian and cynical, and said with a smile: "I heard that Princess Lanling has many maids in her palace. If she meets someone who has merit, Princess Lanling will give them maids as gifts."

Nangong Kui's face was still gloomy, and he couldn't tell what was going on in his heart. He just lowered his head secretly and shook his head slightly. He really had nothing to say about this second brother's hobby.

"Princess Lanling's personal guard, the Qiu Dian Army of the Tent Neifu, should be good!" Qianmianhu said with a chuckle.

"Qiudian Army?!"

Even though Nangong Kui was serious in speech and always had a gloomy face, he couldn't help but be shocked at this moment and felt speechless at the Thousand Faced Fox's "appetite".

"Yes, your second brother, I have tasted thousands of fragrances and tasted thousands of flavors, but I have never tried a female general! Haha, that Qiudian Army must be a rouge horse!"

As the Thousand-faced Fox spoke, he took a sip of saliva unconsciously, with a look of fascination on his face.

The corners of Nangong Kui's mouth twitched slightly, and she suddenly remembered something, and said slowly: "In addition to the second brother, there are also two people investigating this case at the same time. Among them, Su, the official of the Princess Mansion..."

Before he could finish his words, the Thousand-faced Fox waved his hands one after another, interrupting his words, and said proudly: "They are just officials of the Princess's Mansion. They are just three or two small miscellaneous fish. They won't make any difference, so don't mention it!"

Nangong Kui opened her mouth, but ultimately did not continue.

In his opinion, Su Xian is indeed very talented in torture, and he can be beaten with just one "claustrophobia method".

However, Su Xian has taken over this case for a long time, but no good news has come...

In the end, Nangong Kui shook his head and thought:

"No matter how powerful Su Xian is, when it comes to investigating cases, no one can beat my second brother! Even if Su Xian can solve the case, he will definitely not be as fast as his second brother!"

"..."

"Well...it's been so long, why doesn't Princess Lanling come over?"

Thousand-faced Fox frowned slightly, waiting a little impatiently.

He was about to send someone to urge him, but a subordinate from the Prison Department came in and reported:
"coming……"

"Well, Lan Ling is a princess after all. Although she values ​​face, she still has to come here obediently, haha!"

The thousand-faced fox was still lying on the ground, supporting his head with his hands, looking cynical, with a few strands of hair floating in front of his forehead.

Nangong Kui stood up silently and faced the door of the tent so that he could salute Princess Lanling when she arrived.

"The second arrest is not the princess, but a little palace maid next to the princess!" the assistant added.

"Ok?"

Thousand-faced Fox was obviously startled, then frowned and asked: "Princess Lanling didn't come in person, but only sent a little palace maid?"

"Not bad!"

"Ha!" Thousand-faced Fox sneered, still lying on the ground, supporting his head with his hands, and said with a cynical and indifferent smile: "The princess is quite good at handling things, how can a little palace maid dismiss me?"

"Second brother!" Nangong Kui shouted.

"Forget it, let the little palace maid come in."

"Yes!"

"..."

After the subordinate officials left, a little while later, a little palace maid came in and respectfully bowed to Thousand-faced Fox and Nangong Kui respectively.

The thousand-faced fox squinted his eyes slightly, as if he was about to fall asleep. After struggling to open his eyes and glance at the little palace maid, his eyelids slowly closed again and he asked lazily:
"Tell me, why did the princess send you here?"

"Second arrest, Your Highness ordered your servant to bring you a message." The little palace maid replied respectfully.

"Oh?"

Thousand-faced Fox's complexion changed slightly, his tiny eyes opened, and two beams of light shot out from his eyes.

What do you mean?
He was here waiting for Princess Lanling to visit, but Lanling sent a little palace maid to bring him only one sentence?

Doesn't Lan Ling not want to know the final result of this case?

He solved this difficult case!
Is it easy for him to single-handedly, disguise himself and go deep into the Liao Kingdom?It's not easy at all. Thousand-faced fox spent a lot of thought on this trip to Liao Kingdom...

But this Princess Lanling doesn’t know how to respect people!
Or is it that his reputation as the Prison Department is no longer useful here in Lanling?
In short, at that moment, Thousand Faced Fox had many thoughts in his mind.

Finally, the Thousand Faced Fox's eyelids closed slightly, lying on the ground, supporting his head with his hands, and continued to say in a lazy tone: "Then tell me."

The little palace maid said: "The princess said that Su Xiansu, an official of the princess's palace, has solved the case and found out the whereabouts of the [-] Liao troops!"

"what?!"

Thousand-faced Fox was shocked.

He was originally lying on the ground, and supported his head with his hands. Hearing this, the hand supporting his head slipped, and his whole head lost its support and hit the hard ground.

Fortunately, the Thousand Faced Fox was not weak in skills. Just when his head was about to hit the ground, he jumped up and successfully resolved the crisis.

"What did you just say? Say it again!"

The thousand-faced fox got up and approached the little palace maid, with a look of disbelief and disbelief on her face, and the cynicism and bohemian expression were no longer there.

The little palace maid repeated: "The princess said that Su Xiansu, an official of the princess's palace, has solved the case and found out the whereabouts of the [-] Liao troops!"

"impossible!"

The Thousand-faced Fox rejected it, staring with a pair of sharp eyes, with an ugly expression on his face, and said solemnly: "There is no solution to this case. At first, even I had a hard time getting started!"

"If I hadn't relied on my superb disguise skills to sneak into the Liao Kingdom and investigate the case from the source, it would have been impossible to solve this case!"

"Princess Lanling is really scheming, hehe, she actually wants to use this method to coerce the results of my case, hehe, is she afraid that she will succeed when I am the prison officer?"

"..."

As soon as Nangong Kui heard this, his expression suddenly changed. He quickly took the Thousand Faced Fox's hand and said in a deep voice: "Second brother, be careful what you say!"

Then he faced the little palace maid and explained: "Second brother just drank a few too many drinks and talked nonsense. You must not believe it."

The little palace maid didn't say anything, she just said: "The princess said again, if the second captain doesn't believe it, you can go to the Chinese army's tent to verify it!"

After finishing speaking, the little maid turned around and left.

"In that case, then I will go and have a walk in that big tent." Thousand-faced Fox calmed down and gradually returned to its unruly and cynical appearance:
"If Lan Ling doesn't give me a satisfactory answer to what happened today, I will turn around and leave this camp, and I will never help her investigate the case again!"

"Second brother, I'll go with you." Nangong Kui wanted to act as a peacemaker, fearing that the dispute would become too tense.

"Let's go!"

"..."

Not long after, the two people arrived at the Chinese army's tent.

In this large tent, the officials of the princess's palace headed by Wang Sima had been waiting for a long time.

The officials had already heard that the Thousand-Faced Fox had solved the case, so when they saw the Thousand-Faced Fox entering the account, Wang Sima and others all greeted him with smiles and took the initiative to greet him.

Qianmianhu was filled with anger, so he naturally had no good looks towards Wang Sima and other officials.

Faced with the enthusiastic greetings of his subordinate officials, he actually ignored them and went straight to avoid them. He walked to the side of the tent and stood silently.

Wang Sima and others were all stunned, wondering what was going on?
Now that Thousand Faced Fox has solved the case, why does he look unhappy?

This is a great joy!
On the side, Nangong Kui really had a headache. He was determined to act as a "peacemaker", so he told the whole story in public.

However, Nangong Kui has always been serious about words, and when these words came out of his mouth, they changed their taste unconsciously.

He originally wanted to cover up something for the Thousand-Faced Fox, but the final effect... made Wang Sima and other subordinate officials stunned, and the corners of their mouths kept twitching.

This thousand-faced fox broke the case by relying on it, and ordered Princess Lanling to move to see him?
That's a princess.

How can this make the officials of these princess palaces embarrassed?
Fortunately, the Prison Division has been prestige for a long time, and this time it was Qianmianhu who broke the case that made Princess Lanling's head burnt. Therefore, Wang Sima and other officials gradually came to their senses.

Even think it should be so.

Privately, an official exchanged words: "The princess is too arrogant. Since she is asking for help from someone, and the other party is the Prison Department, what's the harm in going there in person?"

"Who said no!"

"..."

Wang Sima heard this private discussion and coughed lightly. They were officials of the princess's palace and they couldn't sit with their buttocks crooked.

After he coughed, the private discussions stopped.

On the side, Thousand-faced Fox naturally heard those discussions. For this reason, he couldn't help but raise his chest a little higher and stood there silently, like... a victim.

after a little while.

With the sound of "The princess has arrived," everyone in the big tent immediately lined up in order, waiting for Li Youqing's arrival.

After a few breaths, the princess arrived.

With her beautiful palace dress that drags the floor, her gorgeous makeup, her elegant and leisurely steps, her whole body is full of grace and nobleness, this kind of Lanling Princess is hard to stare at, and she unconsciously lowers her head.

Not to mention Wang Sima and other subordinate officials, even the Thousand-faced Fox, who was holding back anger, was shocked, and then slowly lowered his head.

Although he is cynical and bohemian, and relying on the power of the prison secretary, he dared to let Li Youqing move to see him.

However, in front of Princess Lanling, the Thousand-faced Fox did not dare to be too presumptuous, for example, staring straight at her...

Li Youqing walked slowly to the top of the tent and sat down on the handsome chair before everyone began to greet him.

The ceremony is over in no time.

"The second arrester is back?" Li Youqing glanced at Thousand Faced Fox and smiled.

"May I ask, Your Highness, I just heard that an official in the princess's residence has solved that difficult case?"

The Thousand Faced Fox walked to the center of the tent, looking aggressive at this moment.

Although, he had to admit that Princess Lanling had an alluring appearance, and she was worthy of being the number one beauty in Daliang.

However, although he is cynical, he is also very self-aware. It is impossible for a person like him to become Princess Lanling's son-in-law.

Therefore, the anger in his heart suddenly took over, which was why he stood up and made a fuss at the beginning.

"what?"

After finishing speaking, Wang Sima and other subordinate officials in the big tent were all taken aback. Regardless of the fact that the princess was still there, they started discussing privately, and the big tent suddenly became noisy like a vegetable market.

"Su Consultation...has the case been solved?"

"How could I not know when it happened?"

"..."

The officials discussed for a while, and soon the discussion gradually weakened. They glanced at Li Youqing, and then shook their heads secretly.

It has been a long time since Su Xian took over that case.

He hadn't heard any rumors before, so it was impossible for him to solve that difficult case all at once.

Therefore, the officials headed by Wang Sima all thought that this was a smoke bomb released by the princess.

Its purpose...

Thinking back to Nangong Kui's explanation just now, it was obvious to the officials.

While secretly shaking their heads, the officials hesitated to speak, wanting to persuade Princess Lanling not to offend the Prison Department and the Thousand-faced Fox who actually solved the case just for the so-called face.

If the Thousand-faced Fox just throws away his hands and leaves without telling the final result of the case, wouldn’t it be a waste of effort?
inappropriate!

Nothing is right!
However, under the current situation, it is difficult for the officials to give advice...

Sitting on the handsome chair, Princess Lanling's expression remained unchanged. She still had a smile on her lips, and nodded in response: "That's right! Su Xiansu, the subordinate officer in my palace, has solved that case!"

"..."

The tent became quiet.

The subordinate officials looked at each other, and then shook their heads secretly. This princess of theirs was very wise and powerful in the past, but why today...

When the Thousand Faced Fox heard this, his pupils shrank suddenly. He did not expect that Princess Lanling would be so calm and composed, and even had a faint smile on her lips.

Does she really want to go against the Prison Secretary?

Does she really not want to get the final result of this case?
If she continues like this, the Thousand Faced Fox will turn around and leave!
On the side, Nangong Kui's handsome and gloomy face showed bursts of disbelief. He was curious, what made Princess Lanling insist that Su Xian had solved the case?
Could it be that...Su Xian really solved the case?

But this case was really tricky. Even his second brother, Qianmianhu, used his real skills to sneak into the Liao Kingdom, and finally figured out the whereabouts of the [-] Liao troops.

That's a thousand-faced fox!
The best person in the world to investigate crimes!
It took even him more than half a month to solve the case.

Su Xian is so virtuous and capable...

"May I ask your highness, since Su Xian has solved the case, can you please tell me where the [-] Liao troops are hiding?" Thousand-faced Fox suddenly asked.

Nangong Kui and the officials headed by Wang Sima all looked at Princess Lanling with different thoughts.

There was an eerie silence in the big tent, and you could hear a needle drop.

"That's fine, then I will tell the public the result of Su Ziyi's solution to the case, which can be confirmed with the result of the second arrest. Let's see if it is the same place."

Li Youqing continued to smile, looking graceful and noble, and extremely beautiful.

After hearing what she said, some of the subordinate officials began to beat their hearts and murmured, could it be that... Su Xian really solved the case?

But then they secretly shook their heads, thinking that it was impossible. Even if Su Xian could defy the odds and really solve the case, he still couldn't be faster than the Thousand-Faced Fox!
"Your Highness, please speak, and I will listen with all your ears." Qian Mianhu slightly tugged at the corner of his mouth, a few strands of hair fluttered on his forehead, his cynical and unruly temperament was fully displayed at this moment.

In his opinion, after Princess Lanling said this, he should turn his back on her and leave, and he would never take over Lanling's case in the future.

"The [-] Liao troops were not hidden in Hongcun Fort in Fanyang County from the beginning. It was just an illusion!" Li Youqing laughed.

"Ok?"

The Thousand-Faced Fox was startled when he heard this, and frowned slightly, his cynical and unruly temperament slightly restrained.

This sentence was far beyond his expectation.

Because this is also one of the truths he found when he went to Liao as an undercover agent.

How did Princess Lanling find out?

At the same time, Nangong Kui and some subordinate officials caught a glimpse of Qian-faced Fox's face, and saw that he did not immediately become angry or angry, and everyone looked strange.

"The [-] Liao troops were not hiding there from the beginning. Their real hiding place is... Youzhou!" Li Youqing added with a smile on his lips.

"Where is Youzhou?" Thousand-faced Fox asked hurriedly. At this moment, his brows were furrowed, and most of his unruly temperament had disappeared. He stared at Princess Lanling closely.

When Nangong Kui and his officials saw this, they felt very strange.

Could it be that... Princess Lanling really got it right?

"Youzhou, Ping'an City, among several warehouses near the Grand Canal! Those [-] Liao troops are hiding among them!" Li Youqing said at last.

As soon as he finished speaking, Nangong Kui and his subordinate officials turned their heads and looked at the Thousand-Faced Fox like sunflowers.

How today's matter ends depends on this moment.

Under the gaze of everyone, the face of the Thousand-faced Fox changed drastically, with a look of disbelief and disbelief, as well as a look of reluctance and shock.

"How did your Highness know?!"

His expression, coupled with these words, can already explain the problem——_
The place Princess Lanling mentioned was exactly where Thousand Faced Fox disguised himself and went to Liao Kingdom to find out!
But how is this possible?
Nangong Kui and the subordinate officials looked at each other in confusion. They were speechless for a long time. They were confused and suspected that there was something wrong with their ears.

This result was far beyond everyone's expectations.

Previously, not to mention Nangong Kui, even the subordinate officials headed by Wang Sima thought that Li Youqing did this for the so-called face.

Li Youqing said that Su Xian had solved the case, but they didn't believe it from the bottom of their hearts.

First, there was no rumor beforehand, how could Su Xian solve the case all at once?
Secondly, the Prison Division II arrested the Thousand-Faced Fox, and they just solved the case today. How could Su Xian dare to be faster than the Thousand-Faced Fox?

That's the Thousand-faced Fox, the second arrester of the Prison Department!
He is known as the best investigator in the world.

This is recognized by the world.

He is like a legend, and his investigative experience is also a legend.

But what happened today?
The legend and legend of the Thousand-Faced Fox were ruthlessly broken...

After a long period of silence in the big tent, the officials headed by Wang Sima suddenly realized that this difficult case had finally been solved? !

They had heated discussions, mixed with laughter.

Some people even praised Su Xian without hesitation, saying that he was extremely talented and brilliant, and that his ability to investigate cases was better than that of a Thousand-Faced Fox. Such talents were rare in the world.

On the side, the Thousand-faced Fox, who unfortunately became the "foil" of others, had a wry smile on his face.

He really didn't expect that when it came to investigating the case, one day he would become someone's foil.

In the end, he could only sigh secretly, the world is impermanent!
Soon after, when the heated discussion in the big tent stopped, the Thousand-faced Fox bowed to Li Youqing in an upright manner, and then asked in a asking tone:

"May I ask, Your Highness, how this case was solved? After the official took over the case, he also searched everywhere, but there was no entry point."

"..."

Sitting on the handsome chair, Li Youqing couldn't help but have a victorious smile on her lips, which was bright and moving, like a bright peony in bloom.

This moment has finally arrived!
The second prison officer arrested the Thousand-Faced Fox. From the previous "please ask the princess to move to see him", to now he respectfully bowed and asked. The change in attitude was so great that anyone who is not blind can see it.

In the entire Daliang court, the aloof prison department was finally beaten by Li Youqing today.

For her, who is so ambitious, this kind of experience can make her become a person.

And all of this was brought to her by Su Xian, an official in her mansion...

If Su Xian hadn't solved the case in advance, at this moment, even though she was a princess, she would still be humbly asking for advice in front of the Thousand-Faced Fox!
