Shadow Guard stand-in

"Hey, did you hear that Director Li of the House of Internal Affairs called that lady?"

"Who is that?"

"Who else can it be, Lord Shadow Guard!"

Small and small rumors spread in the inner court. Fortunately, because the two protagonists are unspeakable people, they didn't dare to arrange them at will, so they didn't pull out any messy rumors.

"Master Shadow Guard?" Some people's eyes were straightened, they couldn't believe it, "How could Lord Shadow Guard respond?"

"How can I not?" The man said with a smile, "What kind of method and identity is Mr. Li? Punishment easily? No less rooted than Lord Shadow Guard. If Lord Shadow Guard has half of Director Li's exquisite thoughts, I'm afraid that in this palace, he is the one who covers the sky with one hand, so what else is it up to others?"

"Your Excellency Yingwei doesn't have that exquisite mind, so you can cover up the sky with one hand? Just say, Xuanyi Secretary, are you afraid? Who would dare to stay in the Palace of Qinzheng? That is the person on the top of His Majesty's heart."

Some people were not happy, and quickly brought the topic back, "Don't say it's bad, what happened later, how did Master Shadow Guard do?"

The man took a lot of trouble with Joe before he could speak: "In terms of thick skin, who can compare with Mr. Li? And which man in this world is the most manly, who can compare with Mr. Shadow Guard? I started from Xuanyi Division I have inquired, Mr. Shadow Guard is different from ordinary people. He has trained in the life and death camp since he was a child. Do you know what the life and death camp is? As the name suggests, it is either life or death. Only one out of thousands of people lives, just like raising Gu , Lord Shadow Guard has long since lost his love and desires in that place, what can he think of His Majesty? I heard that it is all His Majesty's wishful thinking."

"That poor Lord Shadow Guard..."

"Yeah, the most manly man in the world, being called a sissy, is that okay? I heard that the Lord Shadow Guard immediately turned black, and almost drew his knife to kill Mr. Li. Tsk, you have seen the Lord Shadow Guard Is there a knife?"

"I haven't seen it before."

"Do you want to see me then?"

The person who was asked shook his head repeatedly, and the speaker smiled and said: "Hey, that's right. When I saw Lord Shadow Guard's knife, only the head fell to the ground. Everyone knows that Lord Shadow Guard will see blood when he strikes a knife, and blood will definitely come when he sees the knife." Seal the throat..."

"Since Lord Shadow Guard has drawn his sword, why is Director Li still alive?"

"Let's just say, Lord Shadow Guard almost drew his sword, didn't he almost? Director Li saluted with a smile on his face, who would stretch out his hand to hit a smiling face? Lord Shadow Guard naturally wouldn't either, it is said that he froze in place , I was stunned for a long time, and when I saw Mr. Li couldn't afford it, I cried out."

"What?" Who dared to believe it, everyone was shocked.

"Master Shadow Guard, is this the answer?"

"It's not a yes."

As if this soul has been hooked by someone, the people who just heard about it must have been stunned for a long time, and then sighed amidst all kinds of emotions, "Then we have to change our name to Jin Niangniang."

Qinzheng Hall.

He Jue drove Fatty Li out, and was depressed for a while, unwilling to read the densely packed scriptures, he got up and walked out of the hall.

"What are you doing standing here?" Seeing Jin Jiuye in a daze and seeing no movement when he approached, He Jue couldn't help being surprised, "Is it because you didn't eat the red-flavored pork?"

No wonder He Jue thinks this way, he knows that Jin Jiuye has always been simple-minded and has no twists and turns, if he hides something in his heart, he will show his feet that day, and he will not be able to delay it until the next day.

Jin Jiuye shook his head, "Nothing."

He Jue was puzzled, and thought for a while, "Did you meet that fat man from the Ministry of Internal Affairs? He has a very broken mouth. He must be pestering you and talking non-stop. Don't take it to heart."

"He has a good heart, but he is very annoying." He Jue also had a headache when he thought about it, "If I hadn't seen him manage the House of Internal Affairs in an orderly manner, I wouldn't want to see him."

While talking, he looked at Jin Jiuye, and saw that the man had a different expression, so he knew that the fat man deliberately provoked him.Jin Jiuye is not good at words, he is clumsy with his tongue, that fat man is thick-skinned and used to being slick, and he was taken advantage of if he wasn't paying attention.

"I'll find a way to fix him some other day," He Jue said.

Jin Jiuye was silent, "This subordinate is only thinking about the assassination case of King Li."

"Think about that case?" He Jue frowned, unable to tell the truth of what Jin Jiuye said for a while.

"Why did the killer lose his left hand? If we don't find out about this matter, the subordinates always feel that the case is gone."

He Jue nodded when he heard the words, "You can do whatever you want, just one thing, don't take your body seriously, otherwise I will really tie you by my side and never leave for a moment."

"Subordinates obey."

After all, He Jue let him out, but after half a day, he couldn't go on.

He only said that he was soft-hearted, seeing Jin Jiuye's eyes regain a little light, he was also a little bit happier.

"Come back to Qinzheng Palace at night."

Jin Jiuye's expression froze, and the corners of He Jue's lips curled into a smile.

"Yes, my subordinates obey."

After leaving the Hall of Qinzheng, he walked all the way to Xuanyisi. On the way, he met three groups of palace people, and one group was from the Siyuan. Seeing Jin Jiuye, he only said "Master Yingwei".

But the remaining two groups under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I don't know if they have followed suit, but they actually made a big gift to Jin Jiuye and called Jin Niangniang auspicious.

Jin Jiuye walked by with no expression on his face, neither reprimanded nor responded, pretending he didn't see it, and didn't bother to answer.

Luckily, Xuan Yisi is quite well-behaved, he can toss about his territory casually, if these bastards dare to make trouble, he can peel their skins, so that others can see how powerful they are.

"Boss, why are you back?"

Jin Jiuye glanced coldly at his surroundings, "Did you slacken your training?"

"Don't dare." The dark guard's heart trembled, and his momentum lost.

"If I'm not in the Xuanyi Division, you have to practice even more." Jin Jiuye left a sentence, and went straight to the file room without personally urging him like in the past.

Although Xuanyi Division has only been established for a few years, the cases that fall into their hands are all major cases.There are many unresolved cases piled up on top of each other, and one can be taken out at random. If someone solves it, let alone others, it is no problem to be promoted to the third rank.

Based on his memory, Jin Jiuye searched for several dossiers, but found nothing.

I buried my head in the investigation for a long time, and when I came back to my senses, it was almost dark.

There was a small palace servant waiting at the door, carrying a food box and waiting anxiously. Seeing Jin Jiuye raised his head, he hurriedly went up to meet him, "Master Yingwei, the slave is in the imperial dining room, and has been in charge of the adults' meals for the past two days."

Jin Jiuye nodded.

The little palace man vacated half of the table and opened the food box, because after waiting for a long time, the food box was not very hot, so the little palace man took a peek at Jin Jiuye, feeling a little flustered.

"The slave didn't dare to disturb Lord Shadow Guard, so he waited outside."

Jin Jiuye didn't say a word about it, and moved the bowls and chopsticks straight away. After several mouthfuls, the little palace man felt relieved when he saw that nothing was wrong.

"Your Majesty's orders are strict, and the servants dare not be negligent. After Lord Shadow Guard finishes his meal, the servants have to report back to His Majesty."

Jin Jiuye paused, "Report what?"

Xiaogong said humanely: "Naturally, it's how Master Yingwei used it, how much rice he used, which dish he used well, and which dish he didn't really like..."

"Oh." Jin Jiuye had no expression on his face, "You don't have to stare at me, when you report back, just say that everything is left."

"This..." The little palace people are a little embarrassed, you must know that cheating is the most taboo in the palace, if you lie and be dishonest, you may lose your life if it is serious.

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Jin Jiuye didn't say much.

The little palace people waited with devotion, and seeing Jin Jiuye's meal like wind and clouds, very carefree and dripping, they leaned over and flattered: "If anyone sees Lord Yingwei eating, I'm afraid he can also eat two more bowls." .”

Jin Jiuye didn't say a word, but the little palace felt that Lord Yingwei had a good temper, which was different from ordinary masters, and he was the best to serve him.

It was like a joke to chew those tongues in front of Lord Yingwei before, and even talked about whether the future master or empress would be picky or not, whether it would be difficult to serve her, but she didn't know that person was right in front of her eyes.

The little palace man thought about it, and felt that he had to find a few words for himself: "Yesterday, I was a slave with poor eyesight, talking nonsense in front of Sir Yingwei. Sir is really the best master to serve, and this slave has never seen you so disrespectful." Picky."

Jin Jiuye raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Gongren, "What did you say yesterday?"

The little palace man was taken aback by the question, "Slave..."

"The slave really didn't expect His Majesty's sweetheart to be you, my lord, so he said something unworthy in front of you, but the slave didn't mean it, and really didn't want to slander you."

Thinking of the rumors about Mr. Shadow Guard, Xiaogong was so frightened that he almost cried.

Jin Jiuye suddenly remembered, oh, isn't this the palace servant who said that the master guarded himself like jade for his sweetheart?

"Your Excellency Yingwei is a talented person. He is the most worthy of His Majesty. It is a blessing for a servant to serve you in front of you." The little palace man kept talking while flattering, "The rumors outside seem to be false. , Your Majesty is the most caring for you, so he said that you have been told many times about the food. Afraid that drinking too much soup and medicine will damage the foundation, he ordered the imperial hospital and the imperial dining room to develop a hundred medicinal recipes, and see the sky. You do."

Jin Jiuye was startled.

The little palace man said with a smile: "I heard that His Majesty has never treated others like this, it's just because you are someone His Majesty cares about."

Jin Jiuye returned to his usual expression, "I'm done eating, you can clean up."

The little palace man responded, and looked at the table again, as expected, as Jin Jiuye said, there was nothing left.

Not even half an onion was left.

With this amount of food, the little palace was worried for a moment that His Majesty might not be able to support Lord Shadow Guard.

Jin Jiuye walked out of the dossier room, it was already dark, he should go back to Qinzheng Palace, but somehow he got to the dungeon.

The guard on duty saluted, and Jin Jiuye asked, "Have you dealt with No. [-], No. [-] and No. [-], Geng?"

The dark guard hesitated for a while, "The number three of C is not yet."

"Why?" Jin Jiuye looked a little cold.

The dark guard gritted his teeth and said, "Brothers can't do anything, C Zi No. [-] is still an eight-year-old child."

Jin Jiuye said coldly: "Xuanyi Division has never been a charity hall, either take the child's life, or bring his own head to see him."

The dark guard was terrified by being reprimanded, trembling should be.

Jin Jiuye turned and walked out, but the dark guard endured and finally caught up, "Boss, my subordinates don't understand why a child has to die?"

Jin Jiuye looked at him, "Orders, just execute them, no need to ask."

The dark guard couldn't help holding his breath when he heard the words, "Isn't that going to kill innocent people indiscriminately?"

Jin Jiuye's face was abnormally cold under the night, as if covered with a layer of frost.

"In my eyes, there is no innocent or innocent, only killing or not killing."

"Forgive me, I don't agree with you." The dark guard came from a noble family, and he entered the Xuanyi Department with enthusiasm, so he was a little less afraid of Jin Jiuye than other people.

"Don't agree?" Jin Jiuye asked.

The dark guard collected himself and nodded, "Exactly."

"Very good!" Jin Jiuye waved his hand, "Come here, take him down. Those who disobey the order will receive fifty sticks."

Two black shadows flashed out in the darkness, one on the left and the other on the right to hold the dark guard, the dark guard was full of grievances, his eyes were red but he gritted his teeth and held on.

The detainees were all dark guards, and one of them was quite familiar with the young man. After walking a little further, he said helplessly: "What are you doing to contradict the boss? It's all about killing a death row prisoner. If you don't have the heart to do it, you should do it." Do you know who are the people in the dungeon of Xuanyi Division?"

The dark guard was very stubborn, "Maybe he was implicated by his family?"

"You are so naive!" The other snorted coldly, "In terms of seniority, if the death row prisoner is not in danger, he will not be locked in the C prison."

The dark guard said sullenly, "The boss just wants to train me to be a knife with no thoughts and no emotions. He only cares about killing people, and he doesn't even have a trace of sympathy."

"He is such a person himself, extremely cold-blooded and ruthless!"

The remaining two did not speak.

After a while, one of them said: "You have to thank the boss for being cold-blooded and ruthless, otherwise you would not be fifty sticks today, but you would be expelled from Xuanyi Division or lose your life."

"I have vaguely heard that No. [-] C Zi is a Gu breeder. Earlier, the boss fell for her tricks and was tortured for more than two months. He is really out of shape."

"What else?" The dark guard frowned.

"If it's true or not, you can ask the seniors who have been there for two years to know. If someone else has suffered such torture, how can they not seek revenge from the murderer? What's more, the number three of C falls to Xuanyi Division. As long as the boss wants to , making her life worse than death is just a matter of lip service."

"But you have been in the Xuanyi Division for two years, have you ever seen what the boss did to No. [-] C?" The escort glanced at the dark guard.

The dark guard exhausted his memory and thought, but he didn't notice that Jin Jiuye paid any attention to No. [-] C Zi.

"I heard that the torment of Gu poison is very bearable. If it were me, the murderer would have to pay with blood. In Xuanyi Division, what can the boss want to do? What's more, he is trusted by His Majesty, so he just made a fuss." Go, and His Majesty will protect you."

The dark guard was even more puzzled when he heard this, "Why didn't the boss make any moves?"

"You also think you should take revenge on that person, don't you?"

The dark guard nodded, "If it's true that child used Gu poison."

The prison guard patted the dark guard's shoulder empathetically, "There are witnesses to the truth, as to why you ignore it, I guess it's about as you said..."

"He was extremely cold-blooded and ruthless."
