female catcher

"Master Lin, let me wear this spirit!"

The girl wears a small hat, a green dress, a red cloth back armor, a green silk webbing belt around her waist, a waist card hanging from the belt, and a saber buckled on the belt. She is full of energy and has an excited look on her face.

Lin Yanshou, who was the doctor of the Ministry of Punishment at the time, squinted his small eyes and looked at the girl with a smile, and nodded repeatedly: "Spiritual, the tiger father has no dog girl. You are the only female arrester with a knife in the Qingshui Yamen, girl." Do it well!"

"Master Lin, anyway, I'm also a catcher with a tooth card, so don't be a girl in front of a girl." 17-year-old Nangong Biluo lowered her head and straightened her clothes, carefully smoothing out any wrinkles.

"Hehe, what you said is true. You are not on duty now, why don't you hurry back and report the good news?"

Nangong Biluo's eyes lit up, she looked at Lin Yanshou for a moment, then nodded with a bright smile and said goodbye, and ran out.

The thin girl straightened her back, holding a saber in her hand, with a righteous look on her face.Picking up the lightness kung fu, he ran across most of the capital and ran towards his home.

Nangong Mansion.

The Nangong family with a simple population has a few more people today, two old men dressed as market peddlers, a very handsome white-clothed swordsman, and three strangely dressed quacks.

Of these three people, one was wearing gray clothes with iron fans, one was a big man with an iron chain on his nose, and the other was a hunchbacked old woman with gray hair.

"This is true!" The burly Nangong Haotian sat in the hall wearing a hunting uniform, and he didn't know what he heard, with a surprised expression on his face.

Everyone present looked dignified, only the handsome white-clothed swordsman showed a slightly cold face, but he also nodded slightly.

Nangong Haotian pondered for a moment, then patted the table and stood up, "It's not too late, let's set off immediately."

He got up together, and everyone present also got up.Just as they were about to go out, the woman standing at the door made them pause, and the cold and expressionless face of the white-clothed swordsman also changed slightly, and Nangong Haotian even sighed softly.

"lady."

"You want to go out?" Su Yingyue didn't look at anyone else with her beautiful eyes, but only looked at Nangong Haotian.

Nangong Haotian nodded, and Su Yingyue's face became a bit colder, and she said, "I'm leaving in less than two days after coming back. Tomorrow is Luo'er's birthday. You have missed it for three years. Do you have to go?"

Nangong Haotian's Fangzheng face showed more apology, and he nodded again.

Su Yingyue sighed quietly, she didn't say much, bent down and took out a small cloth bag from behind the door, walked up to Nangong Haotian and handed it to him.

As soon as Nangong Haotian saw the small cloth bag, he knew what was inside, and Su Yingyue had already made preparations.The hard-faced Nangong Haotian couldn't help softening his expression, and looked down at his wife who was only as tall as his shoulders.

"Ma'am you,"

"Peace. I'll wait for your return."

Nangong Haotian grinned, took the small cloth bag, and walked away from Su Yingyue's side with the wind.Su Yingyue didn't turn her head, the guests nodded to her one after another and followed closely behind, only the swordsman in white paused when he passed by Su Yingyue.

He looked sideways at Su Yingyue's usual calm profile, skipping the etiquette of nodding his goodbyes, and left without a word.

"drive!"

Nangong Mansion ran out a few fast horses, and Nangong Haotian straddled lightning with a condensed face. He was dressed in a hunting uniform, a saber, and a bag.

However, he is upright, upright and honest, and honest and powerful, and he is majestic and selfless.

Speeding through Nanyong half way, a figure came oncoming.The little catcher walked lightly and happily, his young face was flushed from running back, Nangong Haotian's serious expression suddenly softened.

The father and daughter just met each other, and the horse hurried past Nangong Biluo who had stopped. Nangong Biluo saw the father on the horse with a gratified and appreciative smile.

Kuaima Juechen, she could still see Nangong Haotian turning his head back, as if a wordless gentleness flowed with the wind, and then went away until he disappeared.

Nangong Biluo scratched her red face embarrassingly, and muttered to herself, "Father and Master? Where are they going?"

Dad should see clearly what I look like in a capture suit, right?Although it's just a government servant with a knife.

Nangong Biluo laughed again, and ran back home in one breath.

"Mom! I have finally been promoted from a jailer to a catcher."

Su Yingyue was sitting absent-mindedly in the empty living room. When she heard the voice, she looked up and saw her daughter with a bright face.She came back to her senses, let out a snort from the corner of her mouth, and got up.

"Let me see. Tsk, this outfit is ugly." Although Su Yingyue said so, she straightened the clothes turned up by Nangong Biluo because of her sprint, and smoothed them out bit by bit.She raised her head and said to her daughter who was already taller than herself: "What's so happy about being a yamen servant? Hurry up and enter the Metropolitan Procuratorate and become a head arrester. That dress looks better."

Nangong Biluo smiled and nodded, even though her mother disliked her, she still happily looked down at the clothes on her body, and after a while she was satisfied before asking: "By the way, mother, what case is my father going to handle?"

Su Yingyue frowned, "Hmph, who knew? I didn't even care about your birthday. I was fooled by lard and married this solid wood."

"It's okay, it's okay, the case is important, as long as dad comes back to make up the gift."

"You go to him."

The sound of mother and daughter talking and laughing came out of the living room and echoed in Nangong Mansion, gradually getting smaller.

Nangong Biluo's birthday gift was a Huang Biao Maxima, but her father - did not come back.

……

Nangong Biluo opened her eyes from her bed, and saw that the sky was already dimly lit, and the rooster outside was crowing intermittently.In the slightly dim boudoir, she sat up from the bed, her hair was loose, casting a soft silhouette between the bed curtains, and her sharp jaw line was slightly stubborn.

What a dream.

Nangong Biluo took a deep breath and exhaled a turbid breath, then got up to wash and wash. Not long after, she was already dressed in a heroic headhunter's official uniform, with her hair tied up in a leather crown, black clothes with a red armor on the inside, and a tooth plate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate on her waist.

The four characters "Nangong Biluo" are engraved on the back of the dental plaque. Her name is accompanied by honor.

Nangong Biluo walked out of the room in a handsome figure, wearing a bunch of lily-of-the-valley pendants in her ears, she hurried out with a sword in her hand before eating breakfast.Not long after walking out the door, Qu Shui chased after him biting a piece of cake.

The master and the servant looked at each other without saying a word, Nangong Biluo smiled slightly, Qu Shui swallowed the biscuits in a few mouthfuls, and walked steadily with his young lady to the Metropolitan Procuratorate while chewing.

Metropolitan Procuratorate, Flower Hall.

Wang Rui, who hadn't returned to his residence for a few days, put down the paperwork when he saw Nangong Biluo, and said, "Why are you here so early? I just returned to Beijing yesterday, so it's better to rest a little longer."

"I have martial arts, so if I'm lucky, I can refresh myself for a week. Don't worry, Mr. Wang."

"Heh, I'm afraid of your mother's mouth. My wife is on the same front with her now." Wang Rui gave a rare smile, but he couldn't help sighing, "I have already reported to the imperial court about the southwestern bandits that you heard from Feiying. well-done."

"Master Wang, I also understand what you mentioned in your letter, and now I will start to investigate it when I return to Beijing. But about Fengyuelou—" Nangong Biluo looked serious, "I hope my colleagues will not touch it for the time being. "

"Huh?" Wang Rui glanced at Nangong Biluo suspiciously, "I know that you and the proprietress of Fengyuelou are getting close, but it's not like your usual style not to follow after you have some clues. Okay, I will order them Stop it, Fengyuelou can be handled by you alone. The two servants of Song Qingtian and the ghost bat demon case have already made some progress, and I can't detail it in the letter, and I will file it for you later."

Nangong Biluo nodded, and then said: "By the way, I heard that Mr. Xu has asked for leave. Is there anything unusual?"

"Old Xu's mother is seriously ill, and she took her wife back to visit. But once the autumn is over, the officials in the court will change more frequently. There are a lot of greedy mice poured out from the official department. It's best not to be caught by me. Handle, otherwise—huh!" Wang Rui's expression sharpened, and when he talked about moths in the court, he was full of vigor, like a cheetah.

Nangong Biluo cocked the corner of her mouth, and then said seriously: "The autumn is over, so shouldn't Master Li's vacancy be made up for?"

"Oh! That's right. I didn't hear any news this time, and I don't know what kind of person they sent. Tomorrow, the new official will come to the Yamen to report. But the news from Mr. Lin seems to be quite Young man. You go to see Lao Lin, and get some information from him along the way. The longer this old vixen officer is, the more he likes to pretend to be confused. Sometimes I really can't do anything about him, so it's better for you to go."

"Yes, I happen to have something to ask Mr. Lin."

Seeing Nangong Biluo's expression was not right, Wang Rui asked, "What's the matter? Do you need my help?"

"No, the colleagues under your lord's hands are either scattered all over the place to monitor, or they have important cases in their hands. What I want to ask is about my father."

"Haotian? Are you here?" Wang Rui was also a little surprised. He had tracked down the cause of his friend's death for a long time but still couldn't find it.After a long time, since he became the censor of Zuodu, he will inevitably be put on hold by various other things.

"There are some clues, and we need to continue to investigate. The person who sent my father's relics disappeared out of thin air, and I couldn't find it for a long time. Fortunately, I found out that my father visited Tangmen before he died and went to Ganzhou. Although the boss's Zuodu Censor is dead, he once had a good relationship with Master Lin, I want to discuss with Master Lin about some of my discoveries during this trip, and see if I can find some new clues." Nangong Biluo looked serious , but no change in her mood could be seen.

"Of course the most important thing is Master Song's case. Up to now, there has been no news in the court. My friends from all walks of life have also written to say that the adjutant of Yingtian Mansion is still handling the official business. It's horrific that everything is going well."

"Indeed. I don't know what kind of force directly intercepted and killed Song Qingtian who was secretly brought here? Some of those who were killed were eunuchs. I think they have something to do with Wang Jin. My people are not very good." Do things. People in the Jianghu are not good at doing things, so it is better for your friends in the Jianghu to be careful, so as not to expose you and cause death."

"It would be great if they dared to come!" Nangong Biluo's eyes showed a stern light, but when she saw Wang Rui's serious expression, she said gently: "I understand, Mr. Wang, I will be more cautious."

"Well, good." Wang Rui let out a long sigh of relief, and then continued to bury his head in the paperwork.He beckoned, and Nangong Biluo took his leave as usual.

Once back to Beijing, Nangong Biluo will be busy once the case has new progress.The Metropolitan Procuratorate was busy here, and then went to the Ministry of Punishment one after another, and did not leave the Ministry of Punishment until sunset.

Qu Shui has already followed her orders, and Nangong Biluo is now sorting out the information in her mind while walking on the street.But all of a sudden, she couldn't help raising her hand to pinch the space between her brows due to the complicated information.

"Have Catcher Nangong returned home?" A familiar person on the side of the road greeted her.

Nangong Biluo smiled and nodded, then looked back at the sky, it was not too late.She put down her thoughts temporarily, neither went back to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, nor went home, but turned to Mingyufang.

Mingyufang, Fengyue Tower.

When we arrived at Mingyufang, it was already dark, and the business of Fengyuelou was also at a good time.

Arriving in Beijing yesterday, Feng Piaoxu returned to Fengyue Tower, and she also returned home.Nangong Biluo wanted to meet her even now that she was so busy, but it was obviously not the right time.

Nangong Biluo came to the backyard with ease and turned over into the Fengyue Building. The water pavilion in the garden of Fengyue Building has not been demolished yet, and the guests are also happy to enjoy the moon and flowers in the garden and recite poems with all the beauties.

The sky is beautiful and the moon is perfect, and the flowers include golden osmanthus and epiphyllum.

Nangong Biluo climbed up to a roof and quietly watched everything in the Fengyue Field. Not long after, she saw Feng Piaoxu among the crowd greeting the guests.Different from the light and simple decorations when traveling, the current wind is graceful and generous. The clothes are not luxurious and heavy, but they are cool and light, but they are calm and elegant.

There are not a few men who want to curry favor with Feng Piaoxu, they are poured down by Feng Piaoxu after a few cups of yellow soup, and some of them are greeted by Feng Piaoxu's girls without even saying a word. A lot of it flowed into Fengyuelou's bag.

Nangong Biluo bent over, propped her face on her knee with one hand, followed Feng Piaoxu's figure with her eyes, and smiled.She was so relaxed when she relaxed.

As soon as Feng Piaoxu clinked glasses with the son of a high-ranking official, Yaohong came to her and whispered a few words.Feng Piaoxu looked slightly surprised, then looked up and saw Nangong Biluo sitting on the roof.

"This man!" Feng Piaoxu snorted, but fortunately she was wearing a capture uniform and was sitting on the roof of the brothel looking comfortable.

Feng Piaoxu waved Yaohong to back down, and gave Linlang a wink, and she retreated from the entanglement of the guests.

Not long after she came to the back of the roof, Nangong Biluo jumped in front of her without her saying anything.

"Aren't you busy?"

"How is that possible." Feng Piaoxu shot her a look, then took Nangong Biluo and walked to her room avoiding people.

Coming to the familiar room, Nangong Biluo sat down at the table and poured tea for herself, took a deep breath of the pleasant aroma in the room, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"I didn't expect there to be a secret passage in the building."

"There are some, otherwise how would you bring Nangong Catcher here."

"Ha." Nangong Biluo glanced at her hunting uniform, consciously not speaking.

"Just came out of the yamen?"

"more or less."

"Did you eat anything?"

Nangong Biluo shook her head.

"Oh~ wait." Feng Piaoxu left the room as he spoke.

Not long after, she returned to the room with hot dishes and pastries, and Nangong Biluo, who was lying on the table as if taking a nap, got up.

"You haven't rested yet?"

"One thing, how about you? You have been busy with Fengyue Tower since you came back, aren't you tired?"

"I'm used to it, the things in the building are nothing to me." Feng Piaoxu put the tray on the table.

"Speaking of which, the guard post in the building seems to have changed." Nangong Biluo glanced around habitually, and faintly noticed something different from usual when she entered Fengyue Tower.

Feng Piaoxu froze, since Xuangang came to the building and Nangong Biluo returned to Beijing safe and sound, the hidden guards in her building have been adjusted.She didn't say much but smiled and said, "Are you the head catcher? Did changing the guard post affect your rest?"

Nangong Biluo pursed her lips and shook her head with a smile, but Feng Piaoxu knew that she must have been affected. After thinking about it, she picked up the tray with one hand, and took Nangong Biluo with the other hand, and went to the secret channel mechanism in her room to open it. the secret room in her room.

"Oh, this is it?" Nangong Biluo watched the mechanism in front of him open with novelty, and then breezed into the secret room.

The decoration, which is no different from the outside, is more simple and comfortable.Nangong Biluo was no longer affected by the feeling of being secretly watched, and entered the table with a smile.

Feng Piaoxu also took the food off the tray, "It's fried at will, just put some on it. If you don't want to go back, just lie down in this room for a while, no one will disturb you."

Nangong Biluo just looked at the side dish in front of her, and asked with a smile, "You made it?"

Feng Piaoxu didn't raise his eyes, and arranged the plates neatly, "The wine and dishes in the building are too greasy, and there is no porridge or rice, and the dishes are just pastries, which are not greasy. Or should you try the abalone wing belly?" ?”

She handed over the chopsticks, and Nangong Biluo hurriedly took the chopsticks, "No, just this."

Feng Piaoxu watched her eat food quietly, and put away the tray, "I'm going out first, I'll be back later."

"Wait? All right. Don't drink too much."

Feng Piaoxu nodded, leaving Nangong Biluo to eat slowly in the secret room soaked in Feng Piaoxu's cold fragrance.After eating, although Feng Piaoxu said that she could lie down for a while, Nangong Biluo didn't lie on the bed with her clothes on. She sat on the tidy bed and looked around.

I have to say that both the color scheme and the taste make her feel comfortable and relaxed.

Immediately, she got up and looked around. When she came to an empty wall, her instinct of catching the fast made her feel that something was wrong.Looking back like a thief, Nangong Butou couldn't hold back his curiosity and began to grope. When the mechanism clicked, the wall turned over and a coffin appeared.

An unnamed rank, a black jar, and a brocade box.

Nangong Biluo was surprised and didn't know whose spirit card it was.She didn't try to make spirit cards and jars, but opened the brocade box, and unexpectedly saw the purple glass hairpin she gave to Feng Piaoxu.

"what are you doing!"

Xu was too relaxed, Nangong Biluo didn't notice Feng Piaoxu's return while holding the hairpin, and was startled by her sound.After returning to her senses, Feng Piaoxu had already come to her, and took the hairpin all at once.

Nangong Biluo still couldn't react, "Piaoxu?"

After Feng Piaoxu seized the hairpin, she realized that she had overreacted when she saw Nangong Biluo discovering the coffin, so she settled down and said with a smile: "You can't change your head-hunting temperament, even this mechanism has been turned out by you .”

Nangong Biluo could only smile apologetically, and then asked, "I thought you didn't like this hairpin, so I never wore it. Why did you put it here?"

Feng Piaoxu turned around and put the hairpin back into the brocade box, then turned around and said, "I didn't say I didn't like it, I treat the hairpin you gave me so precious, aren't you happy?"

"Ha." Nangong Biluo was embarrassed by this rhetorical question and continued to answer, smiling.

Looking at Nangong Biluo's gentle eyebrows, Feng Piaoxu couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, and raised his hand to caress the female catcher's cheek.I have known for a long time that her facial features are not sharp, but it is only the bright eyes that seem to contain stars that are agile and airy.

The other side of Nangong Biluo actually fulfilled Su Yingyue's wish, clean and gentle.

Nangong Biluo let the wind caress her cheeks, and was about to ask about the spirit card and jar when she heard a sound that seemed to be a secret signal.

Feng Piaoxu let her go, opened the secret room, and said to the outside: "Come in."

With the sound of footsteps, there seemed to be a gust of cold air in the secret room.Ning Yan stepped into the secret room with a cold face, followed by Qu Shui.

Ning Yan glanced at the two people in the secret room, her gaze flickered for a moment, but she quickly returned to normal, and said coldly, "Someone insists on looking for her lady."

Ningyan's displeasure could be heard from her tone, she felt that Qushui was as clingy to Nangong Biluo as an unweaned child, and even crawled into her room to bother her.At that time, there were still guests in her room, and the Qushui cat slammed down the window, she was so disturbed that she almost used her heart-breaking palm to greet her again.

I don't even look at where this place is, there are hidden guards around Fengyue Tower, all trying to make trouble for her!

Impatiently asked Qushui what's the matter, Qushui said that there was an urgent matter to find Nangong Biluo, and there was no yamen or home, so he found Fengyuelou, unexpectedly it was really there.

Thanks to Qu Shui's intuition, she didn't care about Ningyan's dislike for her, she was used to it anyway, she stepped forward to squeeze Ningyan away, and immediately called out: "Miss,

When Nangong Biluo thought that Qu Shui would say 'it's not good' after that, she fell silent, and her expression seemed to be crying but not crying.

Nangong Biluo frowned immediately, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Qu Shui sniffed, "Chen Yidao, died in the line of duty."

Nangong Biluo's heart tightened suddenly, she couldn't believe what she heard.

Chen Yidao, the arresting head of the Yamen in Shuntian Prefecture, left Beijing on business, but he didn't want to be sent back to the capital overnight with only the corpse left. The escort sent an urgent letter first, and the corpse would arrive in Beijing later.

"Is there any explanation in the letter about the death of Chen and the head arrester?" Nangong Biluo took a long time to find her voice, and her face was so gloomy that it was frightening.

Seeing this, Feng Piaoxu and Ning Yan both showed worry, and Nangong Biluo's face looked strangely pale in the gloom.

"The letter stated that Chen Tutou visited a certain place in Qingshui, Ganzhou, but his head was removed for no reason. The chivalrous people couldn't bear him to expose the corpse to the wilderness and send it from the tooth card to find out the identity."

"A certain place?" Nangong Biluo's fists were already trembling, "Where is it!"

"The letter says it's—the gate of hell."

gate of hell?
