female catcher

In the study room of Nangong's family, Nangong Biluo lit the gauze lantern and sat behind the table to ask about the flow of wine.

"Liu Shang, sit down too, how is the progress of Fu Xin Pill?"

Liu Shang who sat down shook his head, quite troubled. "Senior Wukong and the others are assisting me now, and they have only made some progress. Although there are only [-] kinds of medicines in the prescription, they don't know the order of refining poisons, and they can't prepare antidote accordingly. It can only alleviate the suppression, but cannot completely remove the rotten heart poison, and the preparation of these medicines consumes a lot of precious medicinal materials. Although Shui'er has collected a lot of reserves during this time, it will definitely consume a lot in the long run."

"Are there extinct medicinal materials?"

"That's the best place right now, no extinct drugs have been found yet."

"That's good. You don't have to worry about wasting money and materials. I'll figure out a way. You can just concentrate on cracking the Fuxin Pill."

"Even if you don't say that you encounter this kind of poison, I will try my best to crack it." Liushang smiled, and then fell into hesitation: "Actually, about this prescription—"

"What happened to this prescription?"

"The more I research, the more familiar I feel, it seems—" Liushang pondered for a moment and recalled, "Yes, it seems that the prince once brought a very similar prescription to me and asked me about the results of the medicine and the different preparation sequences. I only I thought he was following his own preferences, so he deliberately found a topic to entangle, so he didn’t pay much attention. Now that I think about it, some problems are quite in line with my current research progress on Fuxin Pills. It is thanks to him that I can get the prescription so quickly and find out the suppression Asking nonsense now and then."

"My lord?" Nangong Biluo asked after pondering, "You mean that your lord actually knows about Fu Xin Wan?"

"I'm not sure, I just think some places are too coincidental. The prince has always been well-informed and has a wide range of interests. Maybe, maybe he has come into contact with it somewhere."

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it, and find an opportunity to ask. This prince said he was carefree and too nosy. If I can be the first corrupt official, I want to take him under the knife."

"It's only meddling people that you can become friends. If you don't have the prince secretly clearing up the relationship when you are on duty, the Lord Wang alone is not enough to protect you from messing around sometimes. Besides, the prince is not an official. Corruption is the acquiescence of the Holy Majesty to him. "

"I thought you were tired of him. I know how powerful and favored the prince is. He has no real power, but everyone treats him with courtesy. This is because he is not only the younger brother favored by the Holy One, but also the one whom the Holy Majesty puts in his place." In the eyes of the outside world, everyone knows that he dare not offend him, so he can be at ease like a fish in water. I am lucky or unlucky to be appreciated by him, what a bad fate." Nangong Biluo shook his head and smiled when he thought of Zhu Hongyan's helplessness, and Liu Shang was also amused.

After the two laughed, Nangong Biluo took out the suspicious white papers again. "By the way, can you help me see if there is anything special about these papers?"

Liu Shang took some blank papers and asked in confusion, "What is this?"

"I also want to know what it is. I suspect that these papers have used some special method to hide the content on them, but I can't reveal them even when I bake them with light and fire, and there is no response after wiping a little water on them. I wonder if it might be It's related to the concoction."

Liuzhang listened to Nangong Biluo and observed the paper. When she sniffed the paper, she frowned and said, "It seems a little strange."

"Your nose is always sensitive, what did you smell?"

"I only smelled a strange smell. I'm not sure yet. I'll test it when I go back."

"Okay, then I'll leave these papers to you for safekeeping. Be careful not to damage them. You can go back and rest."

Liu Shang nodded and left the room in response, only Nangong Biluo was left, but she glanced at the open door, shook her head and said, "I've been eavesdropping outside for so long, and I still haven't come in."

As soon as the words fell, Qu Shui entered the room timidly, with a look of embarrassment. "Miss, I hid it well, how did you find it?"

"I can't see you even with the windows closed? Just come in and ask if you want to hear something open and honest. Sneaky, what are you hiding?"

"No." Qu Shui felt guilty under Nangong Biluo's gaze.

"You're fine, what about Miss Qin and the others?"

Under Nangong Biluo's gaze, Qu Shui compromised, she told Nangong Biluo exactly what Ningyan said to her, and at the same time asked about the progress of Ruxin Pill and how Nangong Biluo would deal with Fengyuelou.

Nangong Biluo only asked after listening: "Miss Qin said that Piaoxu has something to hide from them?"

"Yes, they are worried that sister Feng will bear too much burden and refuse to tell them. On the one hand, they are concerned about the poison of Fuxinwan, and on the other hand, they don't know what the court will do to Fengyuelou, so they are very distressed. Miss, you are now in charge of cleaning up What do people who act do?"

Qushui's repeated questioning made Nangong Biluo silent, and she stared at the dim candlelight in a daze during the long silence.Qu Shui opened his mouth several times but didn't know what to say, but finally Nangong Biluo said: "Maybe don't get too close now."

Qu Shui was startled, "Miss, you don't really want to punish them!"

Nangong Biluo stared at Qu Shui's nervous expression for a while and then laughed. "Look at you, if I really want to accuse them, will you help them escape?"

"I..." Qu Shui was speechless.

Seeing that she was speechless, Nangong Biluo didn't make things difficult for her. "Okay, people have feelings, and I won't make things difficult for you. The most important thing now is to deal with the old eunuch. The old eunuch wants me to eradicate Meiji and others who are still condensed in the walking corpse building before the spring, and let me hand over the old eunuch. The list of the corpse building, the list I have now is not enough for him, and it is for their good to have less contact with Fengyuelou."

"Really! Miss, you are still reluctant to say that." Qu Shui heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Nangong Biluo say this.

Nangong Biluo just smiled, then tilted her chin towards the door. "Go home and rest, you have to continue running errands tomorrow."

"it is good!"

Qu Shui made up her mind and obediently left the study, but Nangong Biluo sat alone in the study all night after she left.

The next day Nangong Biluo returned to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to reinstate her post, Wang Rui was not surprised, she was invited into the palace in her arrest uniform, presumably it was Wang Jin who put pressure on her again.After Wang Rui asked a few words, he still didn't feel good about Nangong Biluo. Qin Zhiyuan talked to Nangong Biluo about the news that Zhao Yi and the others had heard from various places these days, and he wanted to help Nangong Biluo share his worries. He also tried his words Take a look at her attitude towards Fengyuelou.

Nangong Biluo asked back, "Master Qin, what will you do?"

Qin Zhiyuan pondered for a while, "Crime has its cause and punishment, and it should be punished. However - the control method of the Walking Corpse Building is bad. If you don't know it and you are only being used by others, then you should punish the principal criminals who knowingly committed the crime. Others Dispose of it as appropriate."

"Master Qin, what you mean is that those sub-rulers who know the activities of the corpse building and help the evil will not tolerate it, but those sub-rudders can relax their arrest?"

"It's not about easing the arrest, people are going to be arrested. But I also know that arresting repeat offenders doesn't matter whether they are dead or alive, but some people may also be victims, so try not to hurt them during the arrest." Qin Zhiyuan saw Nangong Biluo's face after he finished speaking. Seriously, he added: "Not specifically Fengyuelou. Don't get me wrong that I'm not partial to Yanran."

Nangong Biluo relaxed when he heard the words, "I understand, you will be a good official."

Qin Zhiyuan was startled, but Nangong Biluo had already bowed and left.Qin Zhiyuan watched her back with a grateful face, and suddenly realized that Nangong Biluo didn't say how she would clean up the sub-rudder of the walking corpse building in the capital, but she had already gone far away, and took away three people from the yamen. Quick little catcher.

Qu Shui has been sent to Jinling City, and she is the commander of the purge centered on Jinling City.Nangong Biluo lost her and was replaced by Chen Hu, Fan Er and Zhang Yang. It was not the first time they followed Nangong Biluo.After getting acquainted with each other, Zhang Yang didn't have the trepidation that he had at first, and asked, "Where are we going to catch the head of Nangong?"

"The blacksmith shop."

The three catchers looked at each other, but Nangong Biluo always had her way, so the three catchers obediently followed her to the blacksmith's shop.After arriving, Nangong Biluo asked the shopkeeper what happened to the knife she asked someone to make a few days ago.The shopkeeper took out a very ordinary knife, Nangong Biluo weighed it in his hand, paid the money and left, and walked more and more sideways, as if he was going to the outskirts of the city.

On the way, Fan Er couldn't help but asked: "Nangong Catcher, what's the name of this knife? You also specially entrusted someone to make a precious knife that cuts iron like mud?"

Nangong Biluo smiled and handed the knife to Fan Er, Fan Er couldn't wait to pull it out to observe, but it seemed that there was nothing special about it, the workmanship was the same as their sabers, and Zhang Yang and the others passed it on to each other.Chen Hu also weighed it and said: "Except for the shape and weight of the knife, there is nothing special about it."

Nangong Biluo spread his hands, and Chen Hu returned the knife. At first he thought that Nangong Biluo would reveal the secret, but Nangong Biluo only said: "It was an ordinary knife, but its prototype has been broken, so I asked someone to make a knife that is exactly the same. of."

All three of them let out a sigh of disappointment, Nangong Biluo laughed because of their different expressions, Zhang Yang muttered: "I thought it was related to some case, when will I be promoted to the head of the arrest?"

Nangong Biluo heard his muttering, glanced at the three of them, and asked on a whim: "I ask you, why do you do this?"

Fan Er: "Eat to eat, I am quite strong, if I am not a soldier, I will be a fast arrester."

Zhang Yang: "Prestige! It can also eliminate violence and bring peace."

Chen Hu pondered for a while, "In addition to what they said, there is also glory."

Zhang Yang and Fan Er hugged Chen Hu for fun.Zhang Yang said, "Your boy is here again."

Fan Er: "What kind of glory can a fast arrester have, as long as he can have a good reputation."

Nangong Biluo also joked: "Xiaohu, I am an example recently, and my ears have been talked about."

Chen Hu shook them away, "Don't make trouble. I'm serious. Sister Nangong, the catcher, I also know that the reputation of the catcher may not be good, but I do things according to my conscience. Wearing this suit, I am the catcher. "

Nangong Biluo and the others stopped teasing him, Zhang Yang and the others still hugged Chen Hu, but put their arms around his shoulders.Nangong Biluo looked at the three of them and said with a smile: "I don't have much time to take you into the Metropolitan Procuratorate. I just teach you a few sets of sword skills today. If you want to investigate a big case and make meritorious service, how can you do it if you are poor in martial arts?"

"Really?" The eyes of all three people lit up.

Nangong Biluo took them to an abandoned schoolyard in the suburbs, and swept the snow at will. She showed them a few sets of knife skills, and she just got used to the newly made knife.When the three little catchers were enthusiastically practicing their saber techniques, Nangong Biluo also walked aside with the saber in his hand, closed his eyes facing the wooden stake, and recalled the spooky martial arts he had seen in the south of the Yangtze River, The herringbone knife marks and the traces on the two suspected sprite-like corpses.Calluses on hands, thickness of arms...

After a long time, she also tried to wield the knife, but she stopped from time to time, which was even more unsmooth than the newly learned knife skills of the three little catchers next to her, but she still kept practicing and trying.

For several days in a row, she took the three of them to the school to practice sword skills, and it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in a blink of an eye.

Fengyue Building.

On the evening of the [-]th day of Mingyufang, red lanterns were hung up, it has nothing to do with festivities, but it has always been like this here, only Fengyuelou is still closed.Yaohong knocked on the door of Fengyuelou's room and went in.

"Miss Boss, the dinner has been arranged."

Feng Piaoxu by the window came back to his senses, "Okay, you tell them to take their seats first, and I'll go down in a while."

Yaohong did not leave, Feng Piaoxu asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"It's like this. I recently heard that the portrait of Meiji is widely rumored in the world, and that Yu Diancang is openly defending it. Is the elder sister Zhu Wuxin exposed? Should we send someone to help her?"

"I stopped all the news chains, and you can still hear this kind of wind." Feng Piaoxu couldn't tell whether it was admiration or displeasure, Yao Hong also pursed her lips and remained silent.Feng Piaoxu sighed softly: "Since Yu Diancang blatantly defends Zhu Wuxin, why should we meddle in other's business. It was she who was obsessed with killing Yu Diancang, but she never understood the true meaning of Master's great wish, so let them Go pestering. Don't do any unnecessary things, if you disrupt my existing arrangements, I will still punish you. Favors are affections, and rules are still rules, understand?"

Yaohong was speechless and said helplessly: "Understood. I'll go down first."

Feng Piaoxu looked at Yaohong's back and shook her head, not sure if she really understood or was just talking.It's really been a long time, no one is obedient.Not long after Yaohong left, Feng Piaoxu changed her clothes and was about to go down to have a meal with everyone. When the window rang, Feng Piaoxu said 'come in' and a masked man in black entered the house. righteous.

"Even though the hidden guards of Fengyue Tower have already withdrawn, you don't have to go back to the window. But you are more polite than Shen Zhong, and you know how to knock."

"Boss Feng, congratulations. I came today to convey the news of the prince. There are many people in the world who are arresting Meiji, and there is no shortage of Wang Jin's people. Although there is Zhu Wuxin who is confusing the public, it must not be hidden for long. In addition, Nangong Biluo will participate again. Su Qing, almost all those people you dislike have already been killed by your order, what do you plan to do next?"

"What's going on with Nangong recently?"

"We didn't dare to get too close to her. We only learned indirectly from Wang Jin's spies that she has brought a few small police officers to teach them sword skills recently."

"Teaching sword skills?" Feng Piaoxu thought for a while, and couldn't help laughing. "Oh, she really has a leisurely heart."

"What's so funny?"

"It's nothing, is there someone from Wang Jin beside her?"

Shen Yi shook his head, suddenly realized. "It turns out that she was deliberately disturbing the people watching her. Wang Jin's people probably realized it and stopped watching her."

"That's good, I will find a time to invite her to Fengyue Tower and let her find the list."

"It's about the same as the prince expected. What happens after she finds the list? Do you continue to kill the rest, or let them be arrested?"

Feng Piaoxu looked at Shen Yi but guessed Zhu Hongyan's thoughts, wondering if Zhu Hongyan was still testing her determination?Her eyes sharpened and said: "Kill, continue to kill a few more, and then expose the showdown."

Shen Yi's heart was chilled by her gaze, he sighed and continued to ask: "How to expose?"

Feng Piaoxu was silent, and walked to the window after a while, and said quietly: "She probably already doubts me."

"How are you sure? If she doubts, why is there no movement at all, and she hasn't even visited Mingyufang?"

"If she didn't suspect, how could she not even come to Mingyufang when I left home suddenly? Although I don't know how far she guessed, I will make her aware of the result you want to see." Feng Piaoxu looked away. Far away, the red lanterns outside the window formed a twilight stretching to the horizon, but she didn't think that twilight was sadness.

Shen Yi watched Feng Piaoxu's back quietly for a while, and then said: "I will tell the prince your arrangement, and I will leave."

"Wait, don't go through the window, leave the building, it's not difficult for you." Feng Piaoxu turned back to stop Shen Yi from going to the window, "Yaohong and the others have already gone to the yard. Be careful not to let people know that you come and go here, Otherwise, if you are targeted and expose your lord, you really can't blame me."

"I will be careful, thank you for reminding me." Shen Yi turned around and sneaked out of the building, just like he and Shen Zhongneng sneaked into Fengyue Tower without anyone noticing, no one in Fengyue Tower paid attention when they went out.

Seeing him leave, Feng Piaoxu closed the window again and left the room. People in Fengyuelou were still waiting for her.

Dusk was gradually covered by night, Nangong Biluo was walking towards Fengyue Tower on the road of Mingyufang, her pace was a bit slow, she hesitated, she still planned to visit Fengyue Tower during the Lantern Festival.

Passing by the backyard of Yingchunyuan, she could still hear the commotion inside. She shook her head and continued walking. She was about to reach the back alley of Fengyue Building, when she suddenly saw a black figure coming out of Fengyue Building.

That movement method seemed familiar, and the more he followed it, the more familiar he became.Shen Yi came out of Fengyue Tower, walked through a few alleys and suddenly noticed the movement behind him. As soon as he turned his head, Nangong Biluo was standing not far behind him. His shadow was stretched by the light of the lantern, making his whole body tense , but still calm.

Seeing him like that, Nangong Biluo also smiled, "It's also strange to see mice who are not afraid of cats, are you one of the monsters?"

Shen Yi suddenly kicked on the wall and jumped over the wall to escape, but Nangong Biluo followed closely, not only crossed the wall with him at the same time, but also took the opportunity to get close to him.Immediately, he could only fight her desperately, but the absence of the knife made him not very sure.But he didn't expect that Nangong Biluo happened to be holding a knife today. When she came towards him with the scabbard wrapped around him, he pulled out the knife from the scabbard and swung it towards Nangong Biluo. Take advantage of it.

He only wanted to get rid of Nangong Biluo's entanglement, and he didn't hold back his saber aura, but he didn't see Nangong Biluo's eyes changed the moment he drew the saber, like a hunting leopard, he quickly took the scabbard to block it and retreated in time .The scabbard was cut in two by the saber energy, but Nangong Biluo retreated uninjured, and even rushed towards him with bare hands without stopping.Shen Yi retreated quickly and swung his saber a few times. At first, he could slow down Nangong Biluo's approach, but after she approached, he suddenly found that his saber technique seemed to have been understood by Nangong Biluo.

Just when he secretly thought that he was not ready to fight to the death, Nangong Biluo had already resisted his knife at the cost of being scratched on the inside of his forearm, and wrapped his wrist upwards to forcefully scratch the back of his hand and wrist. gave him a palm.He was also injured and retreated. Nangong Biluo's dragon claw hand also pulled directly towards his face.

When she touched the face scarf, Nangong Biluo felt a chill in her heart. The murderous aura behind her made her instinctively give up pulling the face scarf, and when she turned around, she threw out a palm.Shen Zhong's saber that was going to sneak attack also suddenly swung his saber aura to break through Nangong Biluo's palm, and at the same time, it also jumped over Nangong Biluo's head and landed next to Shen Yi. He supported Shen Yi and threw a smoke bomb on the ground He ran away immediately, not daring to stay in the slightest.

The poisonous smoke filled the air, Nangong Biluo turned her head and covered her face, held her breath and waved away the smoke, no longer knowing where the two men in black were going.

"The mouse's ability to escape is really top-notch." She sighed with emotion, but was not disappointed.She was not in a hurry to track down, she went to the scabbard that was broken into several pieces, squatted down, picked it up and inspected it, and said to herself: "It's really a sprite, good saber skills! It's a pity that I have to make another scabbard Take the knife."

Sure enough, the monster is not dead, and came out of Fengyue Building.Thinking of this, she immediately got up and walked towards Fengyue Tower.After walking a few steps, her arm hurt, she thought about it and tore off the black blouse and bandaged the wound briefly, but the result was similar to the wristband.She smiled helplessly, luckily nothing serious happened, she put the blouse on her injured arm before continuing to Fengyue Tower.

At this time, there were several tables of banquets in Fengyue Tower in the other courtyard, and everyone, including Lu Sanniang and Liu Yizhi, was invited to join the door, and they were celebrating the Lantern Festival.
