female catcher

Liu House.

Nangong Bi fell into the Liu Mansion and was arranged by Liu Futong in a secluded courtyard.After a night of sleep and dawn, no one was watching, and the treatment was not bad, but he was placed there.Liu Futong only summoned her if necessary, and there was no one to speak, even the people in Liu's residence seemed to have been greeted, and all avoided contact with her.If she doesn't take the initiative to speak, others will not be able to speak. Even if they talk to her, they will be concise and concise, without unnecessary conversation.

Just like the maid who met by chance now, Nangong Biluo just asked her a few more questions about the population of Liu's residence, the layout, who is in charge of what, she seemed to be about to cry.As if Nangong Biluo was a plague god, she didn't even dare to look directly at her, and looked around randomly, for fear that others would see them talking and look like they were in a hurry to leave.

Nangong Biluo was naturally aware of this situation, and glanced at the housekeeper and the maid who were already trembling when they saw her in the distance, and asked her how to get to the abandoned garden, and let her leave.

When the butler came, he only saw a maid leaving like a gust of wind, without seeing his face, he frowned, and asked Nangong Biluo: "Nangong arrester, what do you need? Why don't you just call me, I will arrange it. "

"I don't need it, I just don't want to stay in the room, I want to look around, so I asked for the location."

The butler said grimly, "My master is a bit particular, and there are strict rules in the house. If I have something to say, I'd better tell Nangong Butou first. If there's nothing wrong, don't wander around. Liu's house is not a place where you can just wander around."

The slaves of the Liu Mansion are as disgusting as his master, Nangong Biluo sneered and said: "The rules of the Liu Mansion are great, but I would like to ask the steward, I was called by your master to protect him, if you are not familiar with the Liu Mansion, don't Check around, how can you better protect him? In case of any accident, you will lose your master, and I will lose your life. It’s fine if you don’t cooperate. Do you want to restrict me from investigating the environment? Do you want to go? Ask in front of your master, can I go shopping in this Liu residence?"

The housekeeper's face was ashen, but he couldn't do anything about Nangong Biluo, and said coldly: "I'm thinking about the Nangong arrester, and Han Qianhu is responsible for the security of the Liu residence. , just let Nangong arrest the head to check." He snorted coldly and wanted to leave.

"In that case, Steward Liu, it's not an exaggeration to ask for the layout plan and personnel list of Liu's mansion." Nangong Biluo stopped the butler instead, and walked up to him, relying on his stature to look down, smiling It suppressed the arrogance of the housekeeper.

"I'll send someone to the headhunter's room in Nangong." The housekeeper was not easy to get angry.

"Thank you very much. If there is still a need, I will continue to trouble the housekeeper and hope to cooperate."

"Okay." The housekeeper walked away quickly with a blue face, not wanting to say anything more to Nangong Biluo.

Nangong Biluo watched him leave with a smile as usual, stood in the huge Liu Mansion, looked around, and decided to go to the abandoned garden where the female corpse was found first.

Liu Mansion, abandoned garden.

This place has been abandoned for a long time, and no one has set foot here for a long time. The entrance is in a secluded corner of the Liu Mansion.The most inferior servants of the Liu residence rarely passed by, and Nangong Biluo didn't meet anyone along the way.There is a broken door at the entrance, with a broken chain hanging on it. It fell there and was violently kicked open. It must have been kicked when the assassin was arrested, and it has not been repaired.

She entered the abandoned garden, with dead branches and fallen leaves overgrown, rockery and rocks in a mess, because the trees and flowers in the garden have not been taken care of for many years, blocking the light and burying the path, and the size of the garden is not small.

She scanned around and found that the abandoned garden had two parts, one on the left and one on the right. When she saw the messy direction of the footprints, she knew that was where the corpse was found.She walked over, and after a while, she saw the crooked-neck old tree and the well for catching corpses. The courtyard with the abandoned well has a wide view, and the courtyard wall is not far from the well. There was no one to manage it for a year, and the paste layer of the courtyard wall fell off, exposing bricks and some holes.

Nangong Biluo first looked up at the tree, and then looked down at the mouth of the well. The smell coming from the mouth of the well was not pleasant, and there was no bucket rope beside it. It was just a bare well, but there was a rope rubbing on the tree. Mark of.

Nangong Biluo looked around the well, and found nothing too big, then turned around the yard where the abandoned well was located, and found traces of someone stepping in the yard, and it didn't look like a guard.She approached the nearby courtyard wall again, and the bricks on one wall were a bit strange, as if they had been knocked down and then rebuilt.

With a little effort, she pulled out a few bricks. When she saw the alley outside, she blocked the bricks again, and walked towards a rockery she saw. The rockery is quite big, and there is a hole to enter the mountain.The inside of the mountain is hollow and cylindrical, and there is a space for one or two people. Nangong Biluo found that there are rags covered with straw, as if someone had slept there. The planks covered it.

She saw another hole on the other side of the rockery. She bent down and drilled through to the back of the rockery. She thought she hadn't found anything, but when she looked into a pile of wild grass behind the rockery, she saw something strange. She straddled the weeds. When I went in, I found the discarded woman's clothes with blood stains on them, which were most likely the clothes of the female corpse in the well.

There was a smile on Nangong Biluo's face, and it seemed that she had gained something. She folded her clothes, carried them like a square bag, and exited the rockery.After looking around and confirming that she was the only one, she walked to the wall that she had just looked at, jumped up and turned over. The alley behind was quite wide, but it was a dead end, facing the abandoned garden of the Liu Mansion. The wall belonged to a large vacant house, and it seemed that no one lived in it, so Nangong Biluo was careful.

Then go outside the alley.

Walk along the alley to the street. The alley is quite deep. After walking for a while, I didn't see the street.There are quite a lot of people on the street during the daytime, most of them are people wearing brocade clothes and jade clothes. Apart from the small stalls selling cute gadgets, there are also some flowers trying to curry favor with passers-by, just like other streets.Nangong Biluo had sharp eyes and found a piece of her thread in the crowd, took a copper coin and threw it, and recruited him into the alley.

Nangong Biluo asked him to send the bloody clothes to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to Qushui, and asked him to bring some messages to Qushui, then returned to the alley and returned to Liu's mansion the same way.

She climbed over the wall and landed firmly on the ground. Seeing that she was still the only one around, Nangong Biluo couldn't help laughing at herself that sometimes her headhunter looked like a thief.

Walking around the abandoned well again, there is no new harvest, Nangong Biluo does not intend to leave the abandoned garden now, this abandoned well courtyard is only a part of the abandoned garden, there are still some places she did not go, she plans to turn around in the abandoned garden After turning around, she walked back the original road for a while, and she remembered that there was an arch bridge that could lead to the other side that she had never been to.

There was no water under the arch bridge, but vines covered the bridge deck, and there was still moss that made it difficult to walk. However, for a practicing family like Nangong Biluo, it was easy. I squatted down for a while and checked it out. There were also footprints on the arch bridge, which was quite new.

She raised her eyebrows and walked towards the opposite side of the arch bridge. The yard on this side was different from that on the other side of the abandoned well. There were many trees and rockeries, winding and twisting. It was larger than that side, and the terrain was more complicated.Branches sometimes get caught in hair and clothes, and the petals on the branches will also fall between the hair. There are ponds, flower beds, and some tenacious trees with flowering branches bloom beautifully in hidden places.Going deeper and deeper, there is a rockery blocking the way, which is much larger than the one on the other side of the abandoned well yard, and you can pass through it. Nangong Biluo has sharp eyes and ears, and heard someone whispering behind him. It sounded like a man and a woman. Not very clear.

Nangong Biluo thought to himself: This is a deserted place, but it is a good place for a tryst.

She walked through the rockery lightly. There is a large space inside, with twists and turns, and more than one exit. She randomly chose one to go out and hid it at the exit. When she looked outside, she saw a man and a woman cuddling in the distance. figure.The female is Liu Futong's current concubine, the male is a little older, with two clumps of white hair neatly tied in a jade crown, revealing half of his face, with a blue spot birthmark on his cheekbone, like a strange totem, It doesn't affect his appearance, on the contrary, it makes him a bit special, and his posture is also heroic.Nangong Biluo was taken aback for a moment, thinking of the relatives Qin Zhiyuan mentioned.

"I can't stand him anymore. He has lost his ability a long time ago, but beauties have taken in one after another, and he is keen on bed affairs. His pleasure comes from torture. The more he tortures him, the higher his emotions will be. He loves beauties, I prefer to see beauties being toyed and tortured in his hands. His favor is arsenic and poison. I'm afraid, I'm so afraid, I'm afraid that one day I will follow in the footsteps of the previous concubines, either dead or disabled, what are you When do you want me to go back to him?"

"It's not enough now. Although he pays more and more attention to me, Han Ye is the person he trusts the most. You can help me listen to the wind and find out some news. I will please him and replace Han Ye, so I can take you back .”

"But he is really scary. When I think of the prostitute before, I am terrified. In his eyes, us concubines are actually no different from prostitutes. They are objects for fun and rewards at any time."

"Don't be afraid, it was an accident. That idiot Fang Biao thought he could please him by following Liu Futong's example, but in the end he got killed and lost power instead. Did he think that Liu Futong could handle it by just finding someone? I spent a lot of money on you. It took so much thought to make you his concubine, you should be more careful, if this recent matter is handled well, it might be our chance."

"Ok."

"Okay, then I'm leaving." The man kissed the woman on the forehead and walked towards the rockery.

Nangong Biluo hurriedly hid himself and hid himself. He originally wanted to follow the man, but the man's movements were fast, his martial arts were good, and he was familiar with the environment here. Soon he disappeared, and Nangong Biluo did not continue to chase after him.

She thought about it, and walked back to see that concubine again, but unexpectedly, she bumped into that woman in the rockery.

The woman was startled, and then her face turned pale. Without thinking about it, she pulled out the hairpin and stabbed at Nangong Biluo, and Nangong Biluo clamped her wrist two or three times.She raised her other hand to hit Nangong Biluo, Nangong Biluo led her around, made her turn around, turned her back, pinned both of her hands with one hand, and Nangong Biluo Still holding a sword in his hand.

It is clear at a glance who is strong and who is weak in martial arts, but the woman is still struggling, wanting to see Nangong Biluo behind her. "You let me go!"

"It's okay to let go, don't do it." Nangong Biluo let go of her, but his eyes saw the scars on the woman's collar and on her wrist and arm.

The woman immediately backed away, looked at Nangong Biluo vigilantly, looked at her capture uniform, and asked, "You are, Nangong Biluo?"

Nangong Biluo nodded, and she asked again: "What are you doing here?"

"What is the girl doing here?"

The woman's face turned pale, "You saw it."

"Ah."

"Are you going to tell Liu Futong?"

"Do not."

"Then what do you want?"

"I have something to ask the girl."

"I don't know anything, I'm just Liu Futong's concubine."

"It's just concubine Ji?" Nangong Biluo smiled, looking up and down at the woman in front of her, "The Emei's small capture by pulling out the hairpin, the Wufengmen's tendon and bone hand that used the wrong hand to return the wrist, and the footwork that made Hengshan step on the clouds to return. The girl is just Liu Futong's concubine, then just now, "

"You want to threaten me?" There was cruelty in the woman's eyes, "Anyway, it's a pain, but you can set me free if you expose me."

Nangong Biluo looked at the absolutely stubborn woman in front of her, and softened her attitude, "I didn't want to threaten the girl, but just wanted to ask who the man was and the prostitute's life you mentioned."

The woman looked at her suspiciously, "That man has nothing to do with you, I won't tell you anything. As for that prostitute, are you here to investigate Liu Futong? No, no, I don't know anything."

Her gaze sharpened, and she stabbed the hairpin at herself!

Nangong Biluo was startled, and raised the sword to pick it up, and the tail of the scabbard knocked out the hairpin, "What are you doing, girl!"

The woman knew that she couldn't beat Nangong Biluo, and she couldn't die, so she didn't speak.

Nangong Biluo frowned and thought about it, then guessed that this woman was for her lover.Liu Futong is a big tree they fawn on, so naturally there can be no difference.

She looked at the bruises on the woman's wrist, and sighed, "Forget it, girl, I've never seen you today, and you haven't seen me, either."

The beloved concubine was a little surprised, Nangong Biluo didn't care what she thought, turned and left.

Nangong Biluo is not a soft-hearted person, but she is a silly woman who would rather suffer herself, or even die, for the sake of love.

After leaving the abandoned garden, Nangong Biluo walked towards the arranged residence, but halfway there, the housekeeper who was very angry with her appeared in front of her again.

"Captain Nangong, my master is here to invite you."

Nangong Biluo followed him to meet Liu Futong. When he saw Liu Futong, Han Ye was also there, and he didn't look very friendly at her.Liu Futong had a gloomy face and asked, "Why did you take so long to come?"

"Master, it's Nangong Catcher who wants to check the mansion to see if there are any potential safety hazards. We couldn't find anyone, so we came late."

When the butler said this, Liu Futong and Han Ye's expressions became even more ugly, especially Han Ye immediately shouted: "Nangong Biluo, what do you mean? My people have always been responsible for the safety of the mansion. Are you questioning my arrangement?"

"How could it be, but for my own sake, it's better to be on the safe side. Mr. Liu, you have to know that Jianghu killers can find loopholes even in iron walls. What's more, your house is so big that not every corner is impenetrable."

Han Ye retorted: "What do you know, if you don't leak any flaws, how can those assassins fall into the trap of themselves."

"So that's the case, did you wait for someone?"

"Heh, everyone must know that Liu's residence is heavily guarded, and they waited for the birthday banquet before doing anything."

Nangong Biluo nodded seriously, "That's why I was worrying too much. With Mr. Han, I think Eunuch Liu's safety is safe. It doesn't matter if I am there or not."

Hearing this, Liu Futong coughed, "Okay, you are all responsible for the safety of our house, there is no need to argue about this trivial matter. Liu Quan, you stand down."

He told the butler to retreat, and after the butler left, Liu Futong stared at Nangong Biluo and said, "Nangong Biluo, I'm not interested in what you have in mind, but I warn you, if the order of the prince cannot be fulfilled, we will all end badly."

"Of course I know, but my father-in-law asked me to come to the house and didn't tell me any plans. How can I do well? I'm afraid the father-in-law doesn't know. The people who are eyeing on the father-in-law's life now are not only the walking corpse building, but also the thirteen provinces." The green forest is black and white, but they both received a reward of up to 20 taels to take the father-in-law's life." Nangong Biluo frowned, very distressed.

Liu Futong and Han Ye secretly exchanged glances, Liu Futong pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh? So it happened."

Nangong Biluo looked distressed, "Of course there is such a thing. I am worried that with so many people, my father-in-law's safety will be compromised. Otherwise, let's forget about the arrest plan."

Liu Futong sneered: "Hmph, Nangong Biluo, don't think that I don't know your thoughts. You know the world, and you are not guaranteed to have your friends among assassins. Do you think I don't know about the reward order? Oh, but I'm not afraid. My life is linked together, if anything happens to me, you have to die too."

"Does my father-in-law really want to arrest the walking corpse building? But I heard the news that the previous assassin was removed from the walking corpse building. Some small fish and shrimps are not of much use."

"You, your vision is just that. Whether it's useful or not, you won't know until the day of the birthday party. You just need to protect my safety and help Han Ye to be arrested when necessary. I don't believe that the Supervisor of Rites and Dongchang can't handle it. Some rabble in the rivers and lakes."

"Eunuch is really not worried, the birthday party will be empty?"

"Why do you care so much. By the way, let me show you the layout of the painting boat, so as not to mess up sometimes, you are not familiar with it."

Nangong Biluo took the blueprint handed over by Han Ye, and realized that Liu Futong and the others had other plans, "Elder-in-law is sure there will be chaos?"

"Oh, if it won't be messy, just find a way to make it messy. Remember that once the people in the walking corpse show up and try their best to catch the living, you don't have to worry about other cats and dogs. Oh, this birthday party, It's really not easy." Liu Futong shook his head in a strange way.

"Godfather, for the sake of the prince, it's worth worrying about."

"That's right, hehehe..." Liu Futong laughed.

Listening to their laughter, Nangong Biluo felt uneasy, and only hoped that those friends from the world would not come to take risks.

During the next few days in Liu's residence, Han Yezhi dispatched several people to Nangong Biluo, in fact to restrict her behavior.Not knowing if she was holding grudges or worried that she might spy something, Nangong Biluo cut off contact with the outside world.

On the day of the birthday banquet, when Nangong Biluo saw that in addition to Liu Futong's godsons, there were many officials and wealthy businessmen attending the banquet, she vaguely felt that the birthday banquet might be just the beginning of Wang Jin's plan...
