female catcher

Chapter 117 Overnight
The carriage traveled much slower than when it came, but no matter how slow it was, the length of this road was limited after all. Seeing that the city walls of Xijing City were faintly in sight, An Liang felt worried.

what to do?Did he take out his big nephew's badge and ask someone to open the city gate to let the car in, or did he find a carriage and horse shop outside the city for lodging?

The movement of opening the city gate was a bit loud.Xia Chu is the headhunter of Xijing, and he knows the rules of opening and closing the city gates. How could he be called "opening the city gates" as a "follower of a rich businessman in the capital"?In case the city gate guards interrogate him, the identity of the emperor is really hard to say.

And places like chariot and horse shops are full of traffickers who are about to enter the city at dawn, mixed with fish and snakes, and the emperor's clothes and poise live in it, and then attracting other people's evil intentions is simply more troublesome than seeing through his identity.

An Liang was at a loss, so he had to stop the carriage after thinking about it, and asked softly through the curtain, "Master?"

"Huh?" Su Zhen's voice back to him was softer, so soft that it was almost inaudible.

"The city gate is closed, look..." An Liang stopped at this point, without offering any advice.Since he asked, Su Zhen would know that he didn't dare to make a claim, so his opinion was not important.

After waiting for a while, An Liang didn't hear any movement in the car. After thinking for a while, he stretched out his hand and opened a corner of the car curtain, "Grand..." As soon as half a word came out, An Liang swallowed all the other words.

The lights in the car were still on, and the wax was half burnt, but Su Zhen and Xia Chu, who were sitting side by side on the seats in the car, had already fallen asleep.Xia Chu's head was tilted on Su Zhen's shoulder, and Su Zhen's head was leaning on her head. The posture was not comfortable, but he slept soundly.

It seems that Su Zhen's "huh" just now was just a subconscious reaction in a daze.

Seeing this, An Liang lowered the curtain of the car again.My heart said, come on, the emperor is asleep, how can this car move?That's okay, don't worry, just stay here.

It's still a bit chilly in the morning and evening at this time of year, especially when the outside of the city is relatively empty, the slight wind blows and makes An Liang shiver.He put down the windshield curtains on the car windows, adjusted them, and walked around on the dark official road by himself, thinking about his work alone.

Anliang is conflicted.Ever since the emperor confided his heart to him after drinking, his heart has loosened a lot.As long as nothing happened, he still supported the emperor to go out of the palace to relax.

The palace is aggrieved, and he knows it.

But seeing that the emperor's heart is getting more and more scattered, and now he has developed to the point where he doesn't return at night, as the chief eunuch next to the emperor, shouldn't he give some advice?What can be remonstrance?The emperor came out and returned, but he didn't linger in the ruined body of Huajie and Liuxiang, and he didn't miss the early court and neglect state affairs.

Anliang was at a loss for what to do, and felt a gust of wind in his ears, and a voice said faintly: "What's wrong?"

An Liang couldn't help but tremble all over, his whole body went numb with fright, he sucked in a breath of cold air, choked his throat, let out an 'uh' sound, and froze.

Min Feng went around in front of him, and looked back at the carriage parked by the roadside, "Why don't you leave?"

An Liang saw clearly that it was Min Feng in front of him, so he exhaled the breath he had choked on, stared at Min Feng who was half a head taller than him, and gritted his teeth and whispered viciously: "The man in the wilderness , are you going to scare me to death?"

Min Feng smiled and shook his head, meaning: no.

Anliang was blocked by him, closed his eyes and sighed, "My lord, of course I know you didn't mean to scare me to death, I mean you just scared me! Can you stop being so elusive? You walk Can I have a little noise?"

"No, I'm a secret guard." Min Feng said seriously.

An Liang almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, waved his hands helplessly and tiredly, walked a little further away from the carriage, and said, "Forget it, you are amazing, I can't beat you."

"say what?"

"No, no." An Liang surrendered to him, "Master Min, it's me who is hysterical and talking nonsense."

"How do you park your car here?"

An Liang pointed at the carriage from a distance with his chin, "The emperor and Mr. Xia are asleep, I dare not move, so I stopped here."

Min Feng tilted his head, with a weird expression, "Did the emperor sleep with Mr. Xia? How?"

"How to sleep?" An Liang didn't understand what he meant, and blinked, "Just..., sleep with your eyes closed, how else can you sleep?"

"Oh." Min Feng touched his nose and stopped talking.

An Liang didn't think carefully about Min Feng's words, he poked his feet on the ground, moved a stone and sat on it, "I guess he ran to the room and climbed the wall after drinking, and was tired. But it is very happy to see the emperor." of……"

Anliang's voice gradually dropped, and finally he let out a barely audible sigh.Min Feng stood beside him, folded his arms and nodded.

Neither of them said anything more.Not far away, the low-key and luxurious carriage parked quietly by the side of the road, and even the horse closed its eyes and fell asleep.There are golden threads of light shining through the gaps in the car curtains, which can only be seen in the darkness of this wilderness.The two people in the car slept next to each other, as if they had nothing on their minds.

Early the next morning, Xia Chu was awakened from sleep by the sound of rumbling wheels.

When she woke up, she was a little dazed, she didn't know where she was, she just felt a little cold, so she shrank back.After closing his eyes for a while, his consciousness returned, remembering that he fell asleep in the carriage last night.She felt it and found that the sound of the wheels did not come from the carriage she was in, so she opened her eyes and sat up.

Getting up together, Xia Chu held his neck and took a breath.

I don't know what sleeping position I was in last night. I have a stiff neck and my neck can only be turned to the right.She turned around with difficulty and took a look, but saw nothing.Su Zhen was not in the car, only a burnt candle on the table was left to prove that her memory of last night was not wrong.

An Liang was sitting outside the car looking at the sky in a daze, when he felt the carriage shaking, he turned around and raised the curtain, "Master Xia is awake?"

"Yeah." Xia Chu tilted his head to look at him, and yawned a little, "What time is it?"

"It's a quarter of Yin time. The gate of the city has already opened, is Mr. Xia going home now? Or go directly to the government office?"

"What about your son?"

An Liang glanced at her, and said: "Master Xia has something to do at home, so I hurried back as soon as the city gate opened, and let me wait here, Mr. Xia, for you to wake up and take you into the city."

Xia Chu felt a little disappointed after hearing this, and Su Zhen left, which meant that her birthday was finally over, and she didn't know when the next time I saw him again.She lost her mind, and seeing An Liang looking at her, she said a little embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry. Then Xiao Liang, you can take me home first."

An Liangxin said that you were right to be embarrassed, you slept so soundly, it made our emperor's shoulders numb.With the Son of Heaven as your pillow, you can be regarded as No. 1 in ancient and modern times.

After An Liang sent Xia Chu home, he left. Xia Chu scooped up water to wash his face, gritted his teeth, washed his hair with cold water, and went back to the house dripping with water to change his clothes.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw the picture pasted on the wall yesterday, as if a family were looking at her with smiles.Xia Chu stopped and watched, and the incident of yesterday's birthday came to mind again.She recalled little by little, Su Zhen's expression, Su Zhen's words, his actions, his smile, and the faint fragrance in his sleep yesterday.

Xia Chu smiled, lowered his head in embarrassment, and rubbed the ground with his feet.After a while, he raised his head again and said to the painting, "Mom, Dad, brother, good morning."

The words are a bit unfamiliar, but I feel very satisfied when I say them.She took a deep breath and felt refreshed, so she changed her clothes, put on a hat and went out, and arrived at the government office just in time.

The policemen had already arrived, and they were sitting in the room drinking tea. Xu Lu and the others gathered around and talked about the case of Guangjitang, but Wang Huai sat by himself, not saying a word.

Xia Chu took off his hat and put it on the table, brushed his hair that was not yet dry, "Xu Lu, take someone to Baicao Village, and bring Yu Shiji and Xiangbo."

Xu Lu was stunned while holding the tea, "Is there any progress?"

"Yes." Xia Chu tilted his neck and nodded, "Oh, remember the two bunches of keys we saw last time when we went to Baicaozhuang? You ask them to come over, and then check to see if anyone has assigned them recently. "

Xu Lu put the teacup on the table and stood up. After thinking for a while, he came up with an idea, and patted Wu Sanjin, "Jinzi, let's go, let's go."

Xia Chu sat at the table, rubbed his neck and said to Zheng Lian, "Zheng Lian, go to the German class to check on Yue Xiaohong."

"Yue Xiaohong?!" Zheng Lian stood up and walked to Xia Chu in two steps, "Really?"

Xia Chu looked back and said with a smile, "It's not true. Asking you to investigate the case is not a fan meeting. Why are you so excited?"

"Okay, okay!" Zheng Lian rubbed his hands, his expression of excitement was beyond words, and he was amused for a while before remembering to ask: "Boss, what are you looking for?"

"Check if he has any relationship with the Yu family, what did he do on the morning of the first day of April. Also, you go to Wing Xiu Chun and call Cui Dahua, let her identify whether the person she saw that day is Yue Xiaohong. If If there is nothing suspicious about these, just ask him about that ermine gown and see where it is made."

"So many." Zheng Lian found a pen and paper and wrote down all these questions while asking.

"Don't miss anything, ask carefully, listen carefully, and watch carefully," Xia Chu said.

"Don't worry, boss." Zheng Lian folded the paper and put it in his arms, and glanced at Wang Huai who was sitting in the corner, "I don't have any skills, but I am honest and humble, and I know my weight."

Xia Chu also took a look at Wang Huai, and frowned, "Okay, don't say that you don't have these, hurry up. Oh, by the way, you can ask Master Liu to see if he is willing to go with you .”

"Master Liu?"

"Yeah." Xia Chu smiled, "He's a fan of Yue Xiaohong's movie. Go."

Wang Huai looked up at Xia Chu, and said hesitantly, "Boss, then I..."

Xia Chu waved his hand at him, glanced at several people in the room, "Where's Chang Qing?"

A policeman said: "Oh, he came over in the morning and said that you should go to the squad when you come, and he brought him here."

"People? Who did he bring?"

"People from the casino."
