female catcher

On the vast territory of the Ming Dynasty, there are mountains and mountains in the southwest region, and the scenery is magnificent.

A caravan is walking in the beautiful green hills, where the sun is shining brightly and the green leaves are cool.In the scorching summer, this place is comfortable and shady. A beautiful environment should make people feel refreshed and let their troubles go away. However, this caravan walked in a hurry, behaved cautiously, and even breathed oppressively.The leader of the guards was holding the steel knife tightly in his hand all the time, and the owner of the caravan was sitting in the accompanying carriage, who was also sweating profusely at the moment, holding the Guanyin jade on his chest with trembling hands, praying silently.

What are you praying for?

"Hey!" In the quiet mountain, a threat suddenly resounded through the mountains.

The screams made the horses in the team raise their hooves, all the guards were sweating, and they clenched the steel knife in their hands with great strength, but they couldn't stop the trembling heart and liver, and stopped abruptly.

A lot of rough and strong men suddenly appeared on the obviously quiet mountain, all of them held sickles, steel guns and broad-bladed knives in their hands, and they were so fierce that they could scare off wolves. Eyeing.

When the first fat and bald man with big ears straddled the stone, with his elbows on his knees and a broad knife on his shoulder, he was so angry that he shouted to the caravan like Hong Zhong: "The Buddha sits on the top of the mountain, and the Bodhisattva is still there." It’s got to be a layer of skin, and those who hang around know the rules and leave the pointed head, which also saves grandpa from using a knife.”

This roar was no worse than before, and the shout was still echoing back and forth in the mountains, which made people tremble with fear. This was a bandit encounter, and the caravan was like a turtle in a urn or a fish in a net.

The owner of the caravan poked his head out of the carriage and shouted in a panic: "Don't use your sword, don't use your sword. There are rules on the road, so you should offer money for buying roads. Come, present it to all the grandpas."

The leader of the caravan guards with a blue face, took out a heavy burden, stepped forward and threw it at the leading bandit on the hill, the bandit's broad knife immediately grabbed the burden, and with a flick of the blade, the burden arrived hands.He weighed the weight first, then opened it to have a look, the white silver made him smile, he threw the burden to the younger brother behind him, and said to the caravan: "It's still a good way, brothers Let go."

The owner of the caravan heaved a sigh of relief, wiped off his sweat, and climbed back into the carriage. The caravan continued to move forward under the watchful eyes of the bandits, staring at the caravan with his bald head, licking his lips, Under those cruel eyes is not a human being, but a fat sheep.

The caravan left from the siege of the bandits, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. The front mountain is connected to the mountain, and it is still far from the city...

The green mountains are indistinct and surrounded by clouds and mists. It should be a fairyland on earth, but who knows that neither gods nor gods will come, but blood flows into rivers and hides in hell, where corpses and traces are destroyed.

Ten days later, the Shuntian government office in the capital city received a report, and Mrs. Ma from Ma Yuan's family cried and reported to the police, saying that there was no news of her son leaving the business.

Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Xu Huang from the Shuntian government office came to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to drink tea with Wang Rui, complained with a sad face and talked about the banditry in the southwest.

"The banditry in the Southwest has really stopped for a year. Send troops to suppress it, and it will disappear immediately. The mountains and terrain are a waste of the court's troops. If you don't care about it, it will be a disaster. Relying on local rectification will have little effect."

"This is indeed a problem, but the suppression of bandits is not easy, the court is also trying to find a way. Mr. Xu is in charge of public security cases in the capital, and I have to come here today. How did you mention the bandits in the Southwest?" Wang Rui added tea to Xu Huang.

"Sigh~ It's not because of old lady Ma's trouble recently. Her son went to Yizhou to do business, but there was no news. We sent someone to look for it but couldn't find it. We guessed that he was probably killed by bandits. This kind of case is usually I can only hang on, the poor old lady is eighty years old, the grandson is only a few years old, and the daughter-in-law leaves early, so it's no wonder she always goes to the Yamen to make trouble. Every once in a while, there will be a case like this, which is a headache. "Xu Huang smiled wryly. He took a sip of tea and asked, "Speaking of which, Nangong arrests the head? Why didn't you see her today?"

Wang Rui also sighed when he heard Nangong Biluo, "She has helped Mr. Lin solve several cases in the past few days, and now I don't know where she is. She always has her own way of doing business. , I just followed her, there is a way to call her for urgent matters, why do you need to find her?"

Xu Huang shook his head with a smile, "No, I just thought that she helped Lao Chen catch a few bandit leaders before, and she was only mentioned as a way to help the government and the people. Mr. Wang, this general under your command is very annoying to me. I'm so envious."

Wang Rui also shook his head and laughed, "Capable is capable, but it also causes headaches, so don't exaggerate. I think Chen Tutou is also very good, and he is more worry-free than that girl Nangong Biluo."

"Hahaha, he is also a careless person. Sometimes I have to look at his face. Forget it, let's not mention them. My lord, is there still no arrangement for the lack of Li Heng?"

"Oh~ no, I'm afraid we can only fill in the vacancy once the autumn is over. I hope that the one who comes is also a good official who is willing to do practical things."

"Well, that's true. But regarding the selection of officials, is there any movement from the Supervisor of Ceremonies?"

"I heard from Nangong that Xue Ding was arrested, and Wang Jin's Jinyiwei had several fights in the rivers and lakes. Many people died, and they couldn't get involved with Qiu Wei. What I'm worried about now is," Wang Rui stopped talking all of a sudden. However, the case of Song Qingtian in Wufu Village cannot be disclosed yet.

Xu Huang asked: "What are you worried about?"

"The Buddha said that it cannot be said and cannot be said."

"Hahaha, Mr. Wang is still arguing with me, okay, okay, I won't ask any more."

The two chatted without saying a word. The capital city has been relatively calm recently, at least on the surface.

Nangong Mansion.

Ever since Xue Ding's matter was settled, Nangong Biluo didn't rest for several days.Today, she didn't go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, because last time the new recruits kept pestering her to teach her some martial arts or the secrets of investigating cases. This kind of errand was handed over to Qu Shui, and she took a break at home.

Saying she was taking a break, she was still sitting in the study to deal with the backlog of cases. She sorted out the progress of the backlog of cases first, and then made the next arrangement, then twisted the back of her neck and rested for a while.

Nangong Biluo opened the lid of the tea to drink some water, only to find that the water was gone.Qushui was not there, so she had to fetch some water by herself, before she got up, a burst of fragrance wafted in, and Su Yingyue entered the study with a tray.

Nangong Biluo grinned, "Mother, why is it so fragrant?"

"Are you a dog's nose? You are blessed with the hot summer soup that Zhang'er and I developed." Su Yingyue rolled her eyes at Nangong Biluo who was sitting still, and then scooped up a bowl for Nangong Biluo. "Here, those who are refreshed and relieved from fatigue are not allowed to stay."

Nangong Biluo smiled and nodded, there was nothing in the cool and yellowish soup, it looked very comfortable like transparent amber.Nangong Biluo stirred it a few times with a spoon, took a sip first, her eyes lit up, then drank it up in a few sips, and praised: "Mother, you and Liushang are really treasures in the family."

"Slick tongue. This is what I use to relieve the heat. You are a guinea pig." Su Yingyue took back the empty bowl, glanced at Nangong Biluo's desk, and curled her lips in disgust, "You have been running outside these few days Are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's all a small case. Did something happen while I was away? I think Aunt Wu is busy sewing something, and you are the one who cooks these days."

"Tsk, it's not that the little girl from the old Chen's family has talked about her husband's family. I asked Qiao Jie to sew a mandarin duck brocade quilt as a gift. She is good at craftsmanship, and the things she made by herself are more thoughtful." Su Yingyue's expression changed. Feeling weird, she stared at Nangong Biluo.

Nangong Biluo didn't realize it yet, and suddenly said: "Ah~ it's about Sister Fang'er, has that date been settled yet?"

"Not yet, your Aunt Chen invited some of our little sisters over to discuss it in a few days. Nangong Biluo has already talked about her husband's family to Fang'er, who is ten years younger than you, so don't you have anything to say?" Su Yingyue He looked at his worried daughter with a half-smile.

The corner of Nangong Biluo's mouth twitched, the secret passage came again! "Mother, it's rare for me to take a break. Can we not talk about this? Is there anything else these days?"

Su Yingyue sneered, "Hmph, why don't you talk about it when you have time? You can really annoy me."

Even though she said so, Su Yingyue didn't hold back on this topic, and said helplessly: "What else can I do? You're not here, your old lady is doing well out of sight and out of mind. Oh, by the way, one named Cao Yu'an's girl has come to see you a few times. It seems that she wants to invite you to play together. She said that she went back when you were not there. It's not a big deal. I think that girl looks like a lady. You and this kind of person You can get in touch more, imitate their posture, don't wear gray clothes all day long and wield knives and guns."

Nangong Biluo didn't answer Su Yingyue's words, and she couldn't help but sighed when she heard Cao Yu'an, she really hoped it wasn't what she thought, otherwise she would be able to understand Feng Piaoxu's mood when she changed her mind, which made her worry.

I haven't seen Boss Feng for several days, as if I lost contact.

Seeing that Nangong Biluo didn't speak, Su Yingyue thought she was thinking about the case again, frowned and gave her a white look, and said, "You, you, you can be lost in words, because you think I've been comfortable for a few days, so you can't make trouble for me? I have a daughter as if she had never been born, and I don’t even bother to talk about you, but Piaoxu is caring. I haven’t seen Piaoxu for a long time, and I happened to develop this heat-relieving soup. Go ask her to come and have a meal together. I will also give the recipe she."

Nangong Biluo's brows were filled with joy when he heard this, which was exactly what he wanted.But after she thought about it, she said: "Mother, I still have something to do. I think I have to go to the fifth aunt to invite Boss Feng, and I have to say that you have to ask her to come." , otherwise I’m afraid it’s not good to ask.”

Su Yingyue looked unhappy, looked at her daughter who didn't move her butt, and said angrily: "Huh? Why can't you even manipulate you now? Okay, okay, I'll ask Sister Qiao to go, your ass Just stick to the chair! If I open my mouth, Piaoxu will definitely come."

After Nangong Biluo succeeded, she said with a smile: "Hey, mother, leave me another bowl of soup."

"You are beautiful!" Su Yingyue turned around and left, but there was still a large bowl of soup left in the room.

Nangong Biluo waited for Su Yingyue to leave, walked over and brought over the soup, replaced tea with soup, and sat down at the desk again.She stretched her waist, put away the documents related to official affairs, and heard that Su Yingyue wanted to invite Feng Piaoxu to come over. She was in a good mood. Before Feng Piaoxu came, she planned to read a book to pass the time.

As for what to watch?Nangong Biluo turned her head and glanced at the bookshelf, but didn't see what she wanted to read.Her gaze moved to the desk again, and she saw the book tied with a red knot that Lu Sanniang had given her. Anyway, there was nothing else she wanted to read, so let's just read the book Lu Sanniang gave her.

Nangong Biluo untied the red thread and opened the ancient book. As soon as she opened the title page, she frowned because she couldn't understand the words on it. She stared at it for a while and muttered: "This seems to be the show of those women in Yongzhou. What do the patterns on the handkerchief mean?"

She looked at it for a long time and still couldn't figure it out, so she scrolled down, and this scrolling was even more serious, it was clearly true, clearly true!

The content of the book has pictures but no words. Under the white paper and pen and ink, there are two naked people entangled together, doing some indescribable things, and the flesh is graceful, which clearly happened between two women.

The always calm Nangong catcher hurriedly closed it and threw it on the table, scolding: "This Lv Sanniang, she has been a bustard for a long time, and she collects all kinds of things! How dare you give it to me! I'm ashamed to say it's a big deal!" harmonious."

The picture that was caught off guard just now reappeared in the mind of Nangong Catcher, who has a good memory, and suddenly the picture became a little wrong.The image of Feng Piaoxu flashed by, and Nangong Biluo became a little parched.She stopped her wild thoughts, picked up the hot summer soup and drank it down in one gulp, suppressed her impetuousness, and took a long breath.

Fortunately, Nangong Biluo has seen a lot of things in the world over the years. She looked at the book she threw away dumbfoundedly, and sighed: "Lv Sanniang, Lv Sanniang, what do you think you are worrying about?"

Nangong Biluo calmed down, scolded Lu Sanniang again, then thought about it, raised her eyebrows, picked up the book again, and opened it.Compared with the previous panic, Nangong Biluo got used to the content of the painting in just a short while, flipping through page after page, with the same expression on her face as she was flipping through the case file.

I don't know what kind of case she thought she was studying again. How could she have thought that Nangong Catcher would read this kind of indescribable book with seriousness and enjoyment.

Fengyue Building.

The sun was shining brightly in summer, but the wind blowing in the room felt a chill. This bad premonition made her get up and open the window irritably. Not long after she sat down after opening the window, Ningyan knocked on the door and left. enter.

Seeing that she seemed to have something to say, Feng Piaoxu poured tea for her and himself. Before they could speak, a figure came in through the window, took the tea away from Feng Piaoxu's hand, and drank it down. Sitting next to Feng Piaoxu.

"Zhu Wuxin, I have a door here. Open the window during the day, you are not afraid of being discovered."

Zhu Wuxin was dressed in black, without a mask, but her face was not very good-looking. She sneered and said, "I was almost killed by Jin Yiwei and Xuan Gang, so what if I opened the window?"

Feng Piaoxu was startled and said, "What's going on?"

Zhu Wuxin said: "I don't know which bastard reported that Mei Ji killed Xue Ding and tortured him to extract a confession. Wang Jin wanted to kill the people in the walking corpse building, Xuan Gang thought that Mei Ji had uncovered some secrets and wanted to kill Xue Ding." Trouble me, I think you should be more careful in the future."

Feng Piaoxu and Ning Yan looked at each other and knew it was because of Nangong Biluo.Feng Piaoxu nodded to Ningyan, and Ningyan said to Zhu Wuxin: "It was Nangong Biluo who did it. In order to deepen the conflict between Xingshilou and Wang Jin, she also did the punishment on Xue Ding. As for framing Meiji , I just happen to know how to break the heart, and last time I made a big fuss with the chief of ceremonies, it's very suitable."

"It's suitable for a fart!" Zhu Wuxin immediately scolded, "It turns out that Nangong Biluo is a bastard, she is more negative than Nangong Haotian. Piaoxu, I said that you are so close to Nangong Biluo, and you actually agreed to her doing this Is it? Aren’t your actions going to be a lot of trouble in the future?”

Feng Piaoxu didn't take it seriously, "It doesn't matter, my actions are not completely consistent with the Walking Corpse Building. Wang Jin is not only looking for trouble with Mei Ji, we just need to be careful about Xuan Gang."

Zhu Wuxin sighed and said: "Not only Xuan Gang, but also the always mysterious sprites. Although these two people don't come out often, they must be guarded against. Didn't I say before that Wang Jin will soon lose his mind to deal with us?" .Because Qiu Wei will arrive in a few days, and Xiaoyaohou will definitely take action by then, and Wang Rui still has several cases involving the corpse building in his hands to be investigated. Yaoyao suggested to Xiaoyaohou to send Nangong Biluo away, and Let people keep an eye on her, so that Wang Rui can have one less helper, and the Walking Corpse Tower can carry out the actions in the capital. This task falls on the Fengyue Tower, which is the closest to Nangong Biluo. I think it’s better to go to Nangong Biluo , we can also act at the same time, get some news about Xiaoyaohou, you guys think of a way, hey~ I got hurt a little, so I'll go back first."

Zhu Wuxin came and went in a hurry, but left Feng Piaoxu with a problem.She avoided seeing Nangong Biluo, so why did she send her away for no reason and still keep an eye on her?

Feng Piaoxu remained silent, while observing Feng Piaoxu's Ningyan, he said, "Sister, there is a problem with our Shu embroidery supply in Yizhou."

"Huh?" Feng Piaoxu didn't know why, "What are you talking about at this time?"

Ningyan stared quietly at Feng Piaoxu for a while, and said quietly: "The road leading to Yizhou is frequently plagued by bandits, sister, you don't even need to talk to Nangong Biluo, as long as you say you want to go to business, Nangong Biluo I will definitely accompany you on a trip to the West Exit."

Feng Piaoxu was startled, read something strange from Ningyan's expression, and asked, "Why are you so sure, Yanran?"

The corners of Ning Yan's mouth were slightly raised, "Sister, you asked knowingly. Because she can't worry about you, isn't it?"

Feng Piaoxu's eyes turned cold, and he wanted to reprimand Ningyan, but fell silent again.She moved her gaze away and put it on the tea set in the house, but her mind was no longer there.

It was at this time that Yaohong came to report that the fifth aunt of Nangong's family came to Fengyuelou to ask Feng Piaoxu to go over the house.

Yaohong knocked on the door and announced the purpose of Aunt Wu's arrival. Feng Piaoxu was upset and didn't want to go to the banquet, so she said: "Yaohong, go and tell Aunt Wu that I am too busy, and I will visit my godmother next time." .”

"Yes." Yaohong listened to the order and was about to leave.

But Ning Yan shouted: "Wait a minute, Yaohong, don't go down first."

Yaohong didn't know, so she looked at Feng Piaoxu, only to see that Feng Piaoxu was also looking at Ningyan, her eyes were not friendly.And Ningyan looked directly at Feng Piaoxu's cold eyes, and said with a normal expression: "Sister, I think you should know that this is an opportunity. You taught us not to be influenced by emotions and to make calm judgments at any time. Why are you afraid now? Is it? Or are you asking us to do something that you can't do yourself?"

Feng Piaoxu's eyes instantly darkened, and the eyes that looked at Ning Yan were condensed with a biting coldness.Yaohong's heart trembled, and she looked at Ningyan in shock and fear, Feng Piaoxu was the authority in the building, even if someone occasionally had a small waywardness, she would not dare to talk to Feng Piaoxu like this.What's more, Ningyan has always been respectful to Feng Piaoxu, what's wrong with this sudden confrontation?

Yaohong didn't even dare to vent her breath, she stood there quietly, praying that there wouldn't be a storm after the calm.

Feng Piaoxu is no one, although Ning Yan's questioning made her angry for a moment, but it quickly subsided. She looked Ning Yan up and down, and suddenly felt that the younger sister who was brought out by herself was no longer so easy to see through. Not bad.

There was a smile that Ningyan couldn't understand at the corner of Feng Piaoxu's mouth, a little cruel and cold, she said to Ningyan: "Are you trying to provoke me on purpose? Or do you want to prove something from me? No matter what you think, Now it finally makes me feel that you are no longer an exquisite puppet who only knows how to imitate me. You are right, this is an opportunity, Yaohong."

Yaohong was called out suddenly, she trembled all over, and responded: "Miss Boss, please tell me."

Feng Piaoxu flicked his sleeves and turned around, with his hands behind his back still majestic, and ordered: "Go and prepare some supplements, let's go to Nangong's house."

"Yes." Yaohong didn't dare to neglect, and immediately went out to prepare.

Feng Piaoxu looked at Ningyan again, and said calmly: "I don't care what you heard Nangong Biluo said that day, don't make wild guesses. Nangong Biluo is not the kind of person who is emotional. If you are led by the nose by me, you underestimate her too much. Even if she will accompany me this time because she is worried about me, it is because the timing is just right, the weather is calm, and she is free."

Ning Yan immediately asked back: "In this case, why do you keep avoiding her?"

"Because you are right. Humans have seven emotions and six desires. It is difficult to be ruthless, and the environment we live in is emotional, which means danger. That's why I keep emphasizing, to you, to myself. Yan Ran, You have to understand that using emotions can achieve your goals faster, but emotions are also the most uncontrollable thing, playing with fire*** if you are a little careless, let alone a person who is not willing to hurt. But if necessary, I will I don't mind using my feelings either."

Ning Yan frowned slightly, Feng Piaoxu's calm appearance made her feel even more oppressed, Ning Yan felt breathless, Feng Piaoxu seemed to suddenly become a high mountain straddling her in front of her, which could not be overcome.

Seeing that Ningyan was silent, Feng Piaoxu didn't want to say any more, so she turned around and went downstairs, leaving Ningyan standing alone in the room for a long time.

In the sedan chair to Nangong's house, Feng Piaoxu kept his eyes closed and rested his mind.She doesn't want to see the people in Fengyue Tower become marionettes, but she herself is not a marionette she can't help herself. She is always contradictory and suppresses her feelings. Sometimes she has to do anything to achieve her goals. If she can't, she will.

Some roads have been chosen, and we have to grit our teeth and walk on.

"Master." Feng Piaoxu, who had her eyes closed, murmured suddenly, and then she slowly opened her eyes, her eyes had returned to the calm and self-sustained look in the past, and it was difficult to make waves.
