Shadow guard, he carried my cub

Chi Ming drove the horse, and the two of them arrived outside the city of Liangzhou. There were people coming and going in and out of the city, and the two soldiers stood still at the gate of the city.

"Master, we are about to enter the city, let your subordinates come down."

Chi Ming clamped the horse's belly without saying a word, and the horse rushed into the city immediately.

After entering the city, Ming was not in a hurry. He rode a horse and took Yiying for a leisurely stroll in the street. The two big men riding together attracted many people's curious eyes, but the two were frank and fearless. look.

When he reached the gate of the governor's mansion, Chi Ming let Yiying get off his horse, and Yiying took out a token from his pocket and threw it to a guard at the gate.

"Quickly go and inform Governor Zhou that my master is here, come and greet him quickly."

The guard didn't recognize these two people, but judging by their demeanor, they knew that they were not small, and they couldn't afford to offend them, so they didn't dare to delay and immediately trotted with their tokens in their hands to inform Lord Inspector.

In less than half a cup of tea, Governor Zhou hurried over in his official uniform. From the sweat on his forehead, it could be seen that Governor Zhou was really in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, Zhou Zhuo, greets His Majesty!"

As soon as Zhou Zhuo, the governor of Zhou, gave a big gift to Chi Ming, the two guards realized that the person in front of them was actually His Majesty, and quickly knelt down with their lords.

"Master Zhou is free of courtesy. I am visiting Liangzhou privately through Weifu. I don't want too many people to know. Master Zhou knows what to do?"

"Yes, yes, the official knows, please let your majesty stay in the mansion, and let the official show the friendship of the landlord."

"Then I will interrupt."

Chi Ming led Yiying into the Governor's Mansion first, and then Governor Zhou dared to stand up and follow behind.

His Majesty Zhou Inspector, who came to fight in person, was caught off guard. After thinking about it carefully, no major incidents have happened recently, and Liangzhou City is also in good weather, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, so Zhou Inspector is completely relieved. Your Majesty can find no fault.

His Majesty did not want anyone to know his identity, so Governor Zhou introduced Chi Ming to his family as Mr. Ming from the capital, and he came to stay in the mansion for a few days via Liangzhou City.

After the carriage and the accompanying guards arrived, Zhou Zhuo ordered his servants to arrange the room, and was busy hosting a reception banquet for His Majesty.

Governor Zhou had a wife and an only son named Zhou Zhonglin. I heard that Governor Zhou and his wife loved their only son very much, but it was a pity that Zhou Zhonglin was a dandy who ate, drank, whored and gambled.

At the welcome banquet, Chi Ming noticed a man in white clothes. The man was handsome, sitting there quietly like a peaceful portrait, exuding an elegant temperament.

Such a special man sitting in the direction of Governor Zhou's family was particularly incompatible, but Governor Zhou did not introduce the identity of this man to Chi Ming.

In the end, Chi Ming couldn't bear the surprise and opened his mouth: "Who is this?"

Chi Ming looked at the quiet man.

Seeing that Governor Zhou couldn't escape, he was in a dilemma and didn't know how to introduce the man to His Majesty. The man suddenly picked up his wine glass and stood up, and raised his glass to Chi Ming from the air.

"Xiaosheng Mu Yuansheng has met Lord Ming, Xiaosheng respects Lord Ming for a cup, and wishes Lord Ming great blessings!"

This person is smart, Chi Ming immediately stopped caring about who this Mu Yuansheng was, and also raised his glass to drink with Mu Yuansheng.

This reception feast was spent leisurely in peace, Chi Ming pretended to be overwhelmed with alcohol and was supported by Yiying back to the room.

"Mu Yuansheng is a bit strange, has the shadow guard checked his background?"

Yiying shook his head: "There is no mention of Mu Yuansheng in the information. If the master wants to know about his subordinates tomorrow, let the shadow guards investigate."

Chi Ming nodded and asked, "Does Yi feel the same?"

"During the banquet, the subordinates discovered that Mu Yuansheng was always secretly looking at the master, and the governor of Zhou and his son Zhou Zhonglin were also very fond of Mu Yuansheng..."

Yiying frowned in embarrassment.

"What?"

"The subordinates can't tell clearly, the three of them just give the subordinates a very strange feeling."

The shadow guards always have extraordinary acuity, and even intuition can sometimes save their lives, Chi Ming has no doubts about Yiying's words.

"Let the shadow guard go and check tomorrow and we'll find out. It's getting late today, let's rest."

Yiying agreed but did not leave and went back to her room.

"Eat this."

Chi Min handed Yiying a pill, and Yiying took it without hesitation and ate it without asking a question.

Seeing this, Chi Ming raised his eyebrows slightly. Absolute obedience is a must for shadow guards. Even if it is poison/drug, Yi Ying will eat it. For the master, the shadow guard is a handy sword. The master can have many swords. But a sword has only one master, without him the master of this sword has other swords, not less than him.

This kind of Yiying made Chi Ming feel a little uncomfortable, but it only took a moment for Chi Ming to recover as before, still hugging him into his arms and loving him.

The next day, Yiying used the excuse of buying snacks for his master to go out of the governor's mansion and contacted the shadow guard who had been in Liangzhou.

In the deserted forest, the two shadow guards knelt on one knee together: "See the leader."

"Get up," Yiying slightly raised his hand to signal the two to get up: "You two know Mu Yuansheng."

One of the shadow guards replied: "Looking back at the leader, I only know that this person came to the Governor's Mansion about half a year ago, and I don't know anything else."

After all, finding out the whereabouts of Longshi is the top priority of the two. Yiying did not blame the two, but nodded and said: "Find out the details of Mu Yuansheng."

The two shadow guards answered "Yes" in unison.

"Go."

"Subordinates retire."

After separating from Yingwei, Yiying went to the street to buy some Liangzhou special snacks and went back to the governor's mansion.

Going back to the courtyard where the owner lived, he had to pass through a corridor, while Yiying was walking, he suddenly felt someone behind him watching him again, Yiying turned around vigilantly but found nothing, there was no one around.

Yiying suddenly felt strange, and searched around for the sake of caution, but found nothing except for two very shallow marks on the ground that looked like wheels had been run over.Yiying was afraid to scare the snake away and didn't follow her again.

Back in the yard, Yiying unexpectedly found that Mu Yuansheng was sitting in the yard with his master, talking happily.

Without disturbing, Yiying silently stood behind the master with a snack, like a transparent person.

After a while, Mu Yuansheng stood up and said goodbye: "A conversation with Jun is better than ten years of reading. Master Ming's words make Xiaosheng admire. I wonder if Xiaosheng can often come to talk with adults."

Chi Ming also got up and cupped his hands and said with a smile: "You're welcome, Mr. Mu is the one who impresses me. Before I leave Liangzhou, if you don't dislike Mr. Mu, you can often come here to sit."

"Thank you sir for being perfect."

After Mu Yuansheng left, Chi Ming returned to his usual indifference, looking at Mu Yuansheng's leaving back thoughtfully: "Mu Yuansheng is well read in poetry and books, and his speech and behavior are not like ordinary people, how could he be willing to treat you like a man?" Be this unknown person in the Governor's Mansion."

"The subordinate has ordered the shadow guard to investigate Mu Yuansheng, and I think there will be a result soon."

Chi Ming suddenly turned around and said to Yiying, "Tonight we will visit the governor's mansion."

"Yes."

The night fell quickly, I don't know if it is necessary to cooperate with Chi Ming and Yiying's night detection, the night tonight is extremely thick.

The two of Chi Ming changed into their night clothes, and the first thing they wanted to explore was Governor Zhou. The two hid on the roof of Governor Zhou's room. Yiying gently lifted a piece of rubble, and had a panoramic view of the room through the gap.

However, this was a great sight, and the two of them looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.

Mu Yuansheng was half undressed, with spring in his eyes, lying on his back beside the bed, hooking Zhou Cishi's waist with his slender legs and pulling him towards him.

Governor Zhou turned his back to the person and couldn't see his expression, but he could see how eager he was when he rushed forward.

This view broke Chi Ming's three views, and then the two of them had no intention of listening to the corner, so they moved to the room of Governor Zhou's only son Zhou Zhonglin. He wanted to see what other secrets were hidden in the governor's mansion.

The same method was used to uncover the green tiles, and through the gaps in the missing tiles, the two saw Zhou Zhonglin sitting on the bed, holding someone's clothes in his arms, rubbing his face against the clothes with an idiotic expression, It also seems to be muttering words.

Chi Ming and Yiying's ear powers are superb, even though Zhou Zhonglin's voice was soft, they could still hear clearly.

"Yuan Sheng, Yuan Sheng."

It was Mu Yuansheng who Zhou Zhonglin was yelling, and the clothes in his arms must also belong to Mu Yuansheng.

Unexpectedly, Mu Yuansheng, who is glamorous on the surface, has such a relationship with Zhou's father and son behind his back, which is simply ridiculous!

Chi Ming's face was ashen, and he and Yiying didn't get better after returning to the residence. No wonder His Majesty would be so angry. After talking with Mu Yuansheng during the day, Chi Ming's love for talents suddenly arose. If such a talented person works for the court, he will surely Become a pillar, but Mu Yuansheng is willing to degenerate and doesn't want to have a future, he wants to be a 'hairpin skirt'.

From this point of view, Mu Yuansheng seems to be unsuspecting again, but he does not want to work hard and sells himself for the sake of glory and wealth, and he is not worthy of pity or sympathy.

Having been with the master for many years, how could Yiying not understand the reason of the master, seeing the master depressed, Yiying said: "Master, don't be sad, there are so many talented people who can serve the court after the spring."

Chi Ming frowned: "I always feel that Mu Yuansheng is not like this kind of person. I feel revenge from his words. When he mentioned the flood in the south of the Yangtze River a year ago, he discussed measures and protection with me excitedly. Such a person How could it be a person who is greedy for money and power, and is willing to be female."

"Does the master think Mu Yuansheng was forced?"

Chi Ming shook his head in disappointment: "It doesn't look like it was forced, the reason why is waiting for the shadow guard to find out the details of Mu Yuansheng."

Before the information from the shadow guards arrived, Governor Zhou's first wife, Li Shi, died in his room. The cause of death was poisoned by arsenic.

The person who poisoned her was Qiaoer, a servant girl next to Li. Qiaoer claimed that her wife became more and more irritable, and often beat and scolded them, and even withheld money. Qiaoer couldn't bear the anger and bought it. Throw it into the bird's nest that my wife often drinks.

Qiaoer is usually in charge of Li's diet and daily life, and it is indeed very convenient for poisoning. After the certification of other servants, Li is also moody as Qiaoer said, but other people are fine. Being affected, once Li Shi got angry and even beat Qiaoer's forehead to bleed, the scar is still there.

The governor's mansion was suddenly gloomy, and the servants were trembling. Qiaoer cried and revealed her crime. She knew that she would have to pay for her life and could not escape, so she bumped her head against the pillar to death when everyone was not paying attention.

Yiying reacted the fastest but was one step too late, only in time to catch Qiaoer's fallen body.Probably no one expected that this seemingly small maid would be so desperate, presumably she had decided her life and death before poisoning Mrs. Li.
