female catcher

"Miss Cao, are you shopping or shopping?" Nangong Biluo walked in front of Cao Yu'an, and smiled at Ling'er behind her.Because of the snow, there was no one around.

Cao Yu'an hadn't seen Nangong Biluo for a long time, and when they saw each other again, she wasn't as excited as she had imagined. She just looked at the peach blossom makeup that was brightened by her smile, and she still shook her head slightly. It was regrettable after all.She smiled and said, "I just visited the shop. I heard that peach blossom makeup is very popular in the Beijing Congnangong Butou recently. Seeing it today is really special. No wonder it is so popular."

"Why are you even making fun of me? I haven't heard of this." Nangong Biluo raised his hand and stroked the peach blossom on his forehead, "I hurt my face on an errand before, so I covered the scar, but I didn't expect it to show off."

Cao Yu'an took a closer look at the marks on Nangong Biluo's cheeks that were no longer obvious, "On business? Was it when you went to Jinling to capture the walking corpse building?"

"Even Ms. Cao knows? That's right, I was injured when I went to Jinling."

"Father has many old friends in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. What's more, everyone in the business world knows about the wedding banquet held by the Lin family in Jinling. Of course, everyone has heard of it. Before that, my father went to Jiangsu and Zhejiang in person, but he didn't stay long. It was staggered with the wedding banquet. Congratulations in person." Cao Yu'an smiled gently, but after she finished speaking, she frowned slightly and said, "Actually, I suddenly stopped you to exchange pleasantries, and there is one more thing I need your help to judge."

"What's the matter? But it doesn't matter."

"It's like this. After my father went to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he was sick in bed when he came back. All the big and small affairs of the Cao family were handed over to me, as well as the tokens of the guests and friends. I found a very strange letter when I was sorting out. It was sandwiched in a Tao Te Ching Inside, the Tao Te Ching is an imitation box, and this letter is inlaid in the hollow inside. I checked the place of sending, and it was sent from the Jinling Song Mansion." Cao Yu'an took out a letter from his pocket as he spoke.

"Father Jinling doesn't have any friends with the surname Song. I asked my father and he said that he has a friend who works in Song Qingtian's residence. I opened the letter and there was nothing in it. Only a few blank sheets of paper came with a strange Figure, I was worried that there were intimidation and threats. My father asked me to find a way to find out, but the people who sent to Jinling returned and said that the Song family was empty. I thought something was wrong, so I took the letter with me. Find a suitable time to ask the well-informed Chief Escort Wang, and now that you see you, you don’t need to go to the Wang’s Escort Bureau.”

"Master Song?" Nangong Biluo was startled, took the letter from Cao Yu'an and opened it, looking solemn.That piece of drawing paper is Jian Feishuang's ghost symbol, but what's the name of these blank sheets of paper? "Miss Cao, when was this letter sent? Who is the name of the person who works in Mr. Song's residence, and what is he in charge of?"

"That item was sent by my father not long after he came back. It was sent together with the thank you gift from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It was left on hold for more than a month before it was discovered. The friend of my father's name is Zhou Changde, who is the housekeeper of the Song family."

"Housekeeper! Isn't his name Song De? Tsk, he changed his surname." Nangong Biluo remembered the old man whom the Song Mansion had met. Because Qushui had investigated him, he only thought that he used to be a long-term worker under Feng Chenchao, so he forgot to ask in detail. , Now that I think about it, he and Zhou Changfa, the manager of the Qinggang, are somewhat similar in appearance, but one is older, so she ignored it.He has connection with Jian Feishuang?Or is it that he was originally the supervisor of ceremonies?But why not send the letter directly to the palace, but hide it and send it to a merchant.What is the relationship between Zhou Changfa and him?Who is the real allegiance?

"Nangong, what's the matter? You look serious. Could it be that this letter is really weird?"

Nangong Biluo shook her head, "The letter still needs to be verified, how many people have you read Miss Cao's letter?"

"My father and I have seen it. It was sent by relatives of the Cao family together with many thank you gifts, and it is impossible for someone to open it without authorization. My father and I are still wondering how there is such a strange thing."

"That's good. Ms. Cao's letter may involve a case I'm investigating. If it has nothing to do with the Cao family, you might as well entrust it to me."

"Okay. If you still need to ask, please feel free to ask. The Cao family is willing to do their best."

"Miss Cao is polite, the snow doesn't mean to stop, I'll take you back home."

Cao Yu'an hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. "I have to go to another shop, don't bother me. I think you will have something to do after you get the letter. It's the same if you come to Cao's mansion again if you have a chance. Actually, we don't need to be so lucky."

"There will be a chance." Nangong Biluo laughed, and the two chatted for a while.

The snow fell a little bit, and people from the shops on the street came out to sweep the snow.

Feng Piaoxu came out of a tailor shop with Su Yingyue on his arm, followed by a group of hired attendants who were responsible for carrying the things they bought.

"Piaoxu, I told you that you don't need to spend money. Just look at the piles of New Year's goods, it's too grand."

"This isn't grand, it's my filial piety, so does the godmother still want to be polite to me?"

"Oh, you are so eloquent, how can the godmother not love you, I have to pick a few more gifts for you."

"It's enough of a godmother."

"Enough is enough, not enough. I saw a mink fur suit for you some time ago, and a new batch of rouge from Kou Guixuan is also suitable for you. You are my goddaughter, so you can't just ignore such a good condition for nothing. If you buy it, you have to buy it, anyway, the land rent has been recovered this year." Now Su Yingyue can't wait to use all the good things for Feng Piaoxu, so that the two of them can walk on the street in splendor.

Feng Piaoxu smiled and stopped talking, but suddenly stopped while walking, Su Yingyue followed her gaze, and it was Nangong Biluo who was chatting and laughing with others on the other side of the street.

"Okay! I thought my eyes would be clearer today, but I met them again. I'm getting angry when I'm too busy to watch at the end of the year. I remember the girl who talked to Luo'er...well, it's Yu'an, Miss Cao's family. Look. They are all well-educated, polite, gentle and quiet, why didn't they get along with each other when they got along well?" Su Yingyue murmured. "Fortunately, the recent peach blossom makeup still satisfies me, so I still have a solution."

Feng Piaoxu turned a deaf ear to it, the peach blossom makeup was her masterpiece, although she liked Cao Yu'an's personality very much, but seeing Nangong Biluo chatting and laughing with her now felt a little uncomfortable.What's more, she knew Cao Yu'an's thoughts, and she also knew that she might not be able to accompany Nangong Biluo for a long time, and she thought of building a bridge for them before, and she had mixed feelings for a while.

After Nangong Biluo and Cao Yu'an spoke a few words, Cao Yu'an's master and servant turned around and left, and Su Yingyue called out loudly, "Luo'er."

Feng Piaoxu also calmed down, watching Nangong Biluo walking in the fine snow, the dark red clothing and white snow were bright in color, she was tall and straight with a peach blossom smile on her face, it really made people unable to move their eyes away, Nangong Biluo was in the She has always been special.

"Mother, Piaoxu. You are shopping." Nangong Biluo walked in front of them, and when he saw the rows of servants behind him, his smile deepened, "The battle is really not small."

Su Yingyue rolled her eyes, and Feng Piaoxu asked, "What about you? What are you talking about with Yu'an?"

"That's right, don't you need to do errands?" Su Yingyue also asked.

"Ha, why don't you have to do errands? I've been very busy recently. I just came out of the yamen and met Yu'an for a chat."

Feng Piaoxu immediately whispered: "I'm too busy to chat."

"Huh? What did you say, Piaoxu?" Su Yingyue asked.

When Feng Piaoxu raised her head, Nangong and her daughter looked at her, but fortunately the mask covered her face, so she smiled. "It's nothing. Nangong, is the matter at hand very difficult?"

Nangong Biluo's attention was also diverted, she frowned, remained silent, and did not look at Feng Piaoxu.Seeing Su Yingyue's worried expression, she restrained her emotions.Just when they were about to say something, there was a sound of footsteps, and a group of Jin Yiwei surrounded them.

"Nangong arrests the head, the prince is here to invite you." Qianhu, the leader, said something as cold as Xue's expressionless face.

Both Su Yingyue and Feng Piaoxu lowered their eyes, while the followers became a little panicked.Nangong Biluo blocked them behind, glanced at the people who came, and said with a smile: "This battle is not small. Well, I'm going to see my father-in-law too."

"Nangong." Feng Piaoxu whispered worriedly.

Nangong Biluo turned her head and gave them a reassuring smile, then walked through Jinyiwei and followed them.After Jin Yiwei made a fuss, Su Yingyue and the others lost the mood to continue shopping. She sighed and went home with Feng Piaoxu.

Supervisor of rituals.

After Qianhu and Wang Jin informed, Nangong Biluo entered the house, and there was no heater in the house. Wang Jin was sitting upright in a woolen cloak with a dust whisk in his hand, eyes closed, and two thin young eunuchs waiting beside him.

"See Wang Gonggong."

Wang Jin opened his eyes and saw that Nangong Biluo raised his eyebrows, and there was a slight smile on his lips, and then squinting left and right made the two little eunuchs retreat.He smiled and said: "Every time you can surprise our family, the makeup is interesting and beautiful."

"Elder-in-law won the prize, the makeup is just to hide your ugliness." Nangong Biluo also took a look at Wang Jin's heavy makeup.

Wang Jin's eyelids trembled and her gaze sharpened, but her smile remained unchanged. "It's also a skill to be able to pretend so that you can't see the ugliness, and to confuse people with a glamorous appearance. Well, it's not common for our family to invite you here today. Nangong Biluo, are you guilty?"

Nangong looked innocent, "Eunuch, please tell me clearly, what is the crime of being humble?"

"Heh, it should be a great achievement for you to capture the leader of the walking corpse building, but isn't it too much for you to eliminate our family's spies repeatedly?" Only his people know that the brighter his smile, the more murderous he is.

"Humble job doesn't understand. Recently, the humble job has been busy cleaning up the remnants of the corpse building."

"I don't understand, that's all? Hehehe, Nangong Biluo pretends to be confused, you clearly know that Hou Hai of the Giant Whale Gang is our godson, and yet you asked Qu Shui to tie him up for the crime of sub-master of Xingshilou, isn't that indirect?" Also said that our family is an accomplice of the walking corpse building!"

"I don't dare to be humble, I just follow the clues."

"The clue is the so-called list you found out!" Wang Jin finally sullenly said, "That list is fake, don't be a gun in the walking corpse building, and don't complain if you set fire to the Metropolitan Procuratorate." Our family doesn’t show affection.”

"Eunuch's news is really well-informed. If you say it's fake, Eunuch, what should the real list look like?"

"Hmph, you really made a good plan and left the problem to our family. Our family is not in the mood to chat with you today. In a word, if you want to keep your head, put out the fire in our family's heart. Give our family the list you have investigated, and our family will not pursue this matter, otherwise your girl will be the first blood sacrifice."

"You took Shui'er?" Nangong Biluo's expression changed.

"Not yet, but easily."

Nangong Biluo didn't feel relaxed, but said: "What does the father-in-law want the list for? Do you want to help us clean it up, or do you want to take advantage of the fire to rob and get a share?"

"Bold~ You have to be careful that disaster comes from your mouth, don't say it casually." Wang Jin was not angry and did not deny it, "You only need to hand over the list, and you will save the procuratorate from wasting manpower. Our family heard that you are besieging In the Fengchen dynasty, if it wasn’t for the help of martial arts people, it may be possible to lose a lot of court troops. But our family is different. There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers under our hands. There are many people like you Nangong Biluo who roam the rivers and lakes. It is rumored that "Xingyaohou dies, the walking corpse will not fall. Resurrection Dongshan, the charm of the world." If you die with the walking corpse building, our family will be happy to watch the show, now I am willing to help 'you', why not? You, But the person our family has always been optimistic about has indulged you a lot. It's really not easy for a girl to get to where she is today, think about it."

After Wang Jin finished speaking, she closed her eyes again and sat upright like a stone statue.Nangong Biluo looked at him, thought for a while, and decided to follow the old eunuch's wishes.She said with a smile: "My father-in-law is also grateful for the 'love' of the humble position. It is not impossible to give the list, but how should I explain it to Mr. Wang?"

Wang Jin opened his eyes and laughed, "Hehehe, Nangong, you still can't deal with Wang Rui, at most he can behead you with a few words of punishment?"

"Don't be afraid of [-], just in case. If my father-in-law really cherishes his humble position, it is better to go to the Holy Master's ear and blow a word of mouth, so as to protect me. Of course, I will also repay my kindness. Not only will the walking corpse building that I have deployed for many years to visit Give the list to the father-in-law, and give the father-in-law a copy that my father investigated."

"Oh? Haotian still has such a trick, can he leave clues after he has been dead for a long time?" Wang Jin became interested. "Are you willing to do so? You must be playing tricks. The Holy Majesty's oral instructions are not so easy."

"Eunuch is just joking. With Eunuch's status and power, can you still say no to the majesty? I will be willing, of course, not only for self-protection, I also hope that if Eunuch captures Meiji, she must be handed over to me. I want Kill your father and enemy with your own hands!"

Wang Jin squinted at Nangong Biluo for a while, then laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha, good, our family agrees!"

"Thank you father-in-law, I will send someone to get the list with me. I also hope that father-in-law will show respect to my relatives and friends."

"En." Wang Jin nodded, "You are indeed a useful person, our family read that right. Chun'er, you and Nangong Tutou should go for a walk."

A thin and thin eunuch walked in, with red lips and white skin, looking weak but only a few thin clothes in winter must not be judged by appearance. "Yes, Chunxiang takes orders."

Nangong Biluo glanced at Chunxiang, and walked outside, but after a few steps, she paused again.Facing her sudden pause, Chunxiang was able to stop in time, keeping a close distance.Nangong Biluo saw it, but took out the drawing paper that Cao Yu'an gave her.

"By the way, father-in-law, I found Jian Feishuang's mark again when I went to Jinling this time."

"Him? Didn't our family tell you clearly? He was working for the Supervisor of Rituals. He had been lurking in the world for many years and devoted himself to dealing with the walking corpse building. Unfortunately, he was still killed. You still hold on to a dead thing?"

"I'm not trying to grab Jian Feishuang, but I got this signal from Song Qingtian, the housekeeper of Mr. Song's house."

"Song Qingtian!" Wang Jin's lazy voice finally changed, and he ordered: "Submit it."

Chunxiang presented the paper to Wang Jin. Wang Jin looked at the paper over and over again, then stroked it a few times, looked at it against the sun, lit a fire and looked at it again, and finally wiped it with tea, but nothing Nothing.But he seemed relieved, threw the paper away, and said, "It's just an ordinary mark, the housekeeper must be Jian Feishuang's thread."

Nangong Biluo went over to pick up the paper and spread it out, "Is that so? But seeing how nervous Song Qingtian is, my father-in-law, I was still thinking about whether to arrest the housekeeper and come back for interrogation."

"Huh?" Wang Jin narrowed his eyes dangerously.

"To tell you the truth, Eunuch, I heard before that Song Qingtian and Mr. Song's family were secretly taken to the capital long ago. Could it be true? And Eunuch knows the inside story."

"Nangong Biluo!" Wang Jin suddenly scolded, suddenly felt that he had overreacted and was tempted, he calmed down and said: "You'd better leave this matter alone, our family is following orders, since he has died of illness at home, there is no point Go disturb the undead again. Understand?"

Wang Jin was ordered?Who else can I obey!Nangong Biluo was astonished when he heard the words, and nodded solemnly, "I understand what the father-in-law means."

Wang Jin took a deep breath, waved Nangong Biluo down, and Nangong Biluo took Chunxiang away.Seeing them leaving, Wang Jin sighed lightly, then sneered again and closed her eyes to rest.

Nangong Biluo really gave Chunxiang the list that she had investigated for many years. As soon as Chunxiang left, she immediately found friends from the Beggar Gang and asked them to go to Jinling to find Zhou Changde.After the arrangements were made, Wang Rui ordered someone to find him without even taking a breath.

"It came really fast." She looked at her stern-looking peers and laughed at herself.

As she expected, Wang Rui of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was furious once, accusing her of not giving the list to Wang Jin even though she had a thousand reasons, and just got rid of a jackal and gave it to a tiger and leopard, which is helping the evildoers.Nangong Biluo didn't explain, and just pushed back with Wang Rui's previous words that she would be fully responsible. Wang Rui was so angry that he immediately ordered her to be severely punished with forty killing sticks.

But after the order was issued, none of the guards wanted to beat her, and Qin Zhiyuan even helped to intercede.Wang Rui was even more furious, and strictly ordered not to beat the same crime.The guards had no choice but to do it, but each of them, as if they hadn't eaten, only threw a little dust on Nangong Biluo's clothes with a stick.

"Okay, you don't want to be harsh, right? Let me tell you, if it wasn't for the dictation of the Holy Spirit, I would have no problem beheading her! The majesty of the Metropolitan Procuratorate has been completely thrown away by her. If you don't be cruel, I will behead her." Let her be an upright official! Submit to the eunuchs, and don't let the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty see the joke. Hit me! Hit me hard!" Wang Rui issued a death order, and the yamen servants did not dare to show mercy.

Even though Nangong Biluo had internal strength to protect her body, she could only survive the forty sticks with gritted teeth and sweating.After halfway through Wang Rui's order, he couldn't bear to walk away, leaving behind a sigh, and Qin Zhiyuan quickly chased after him.

After Nangong Biluo finished beating with forty sticks, Qin Zhiyuan came back and told Nangong Biluo that Wang Rui had suspended her from her job and asked her to go home and reflect, and she would be reinstated fifteen years later.

"Nangong arrests the head, Mr. Wang has been sighing, you should take this opportunity to rest and have a good year. We are in the yamen." Qin Zhiyuan whispered in Nangong Biluo's ear.

Nangong Biluo nodded knowingly, thanked her and was supported by Chen Hu and Fan Er to leave the Metropolitan Procuratorate.Not long after she walked out of the yamen, she whispered something in Chen Hu's ear again, Chen Hu nodded in surprise and left in a hurry, only Fan Er sent her back.When he arrived at Nangong Mansion, seeing Su Yingyue's darkened face, Fan Er didn't even dare to leave in a hurry.

Soon the news of her being beaten spread in the capital because Wang Jin, the great eunuch who pleased her, was also kicked out.
