female catcher

Chapter 114

Qu Shui was talking to Feng Piaoxu, both of them were laughing, Qu Shui looked up and saw Nangong Biluo, and called out: "Miss."

Feng Piaoxu also turned his head, Nangong Biluo frowned and walked towards them.Walking to the side of the bed, Feng Piaoxu took the initiative to step aside, and gave the bowl in Nangong Biluo's hands, she said softly: "The right shoulder blade was scratched, the godmother and Liushang have seen it, you talk slowly .”

"En." Nangong Biluo nodded, sat down where Feng Piaoxu had just been sitting, and looked at Qu Shui leaning on the bed.

Feng Piaoxu and Qu Shui exchanged a look, then left the room, leaving the master and servant.

Looking at Nangong Biluo's dusty clothes, Qu Shui knew that she had rushed back. She looked up with a smile on her face, and just about to speak, a warm palm fell from her temples. .

Nangong Biluo smoothed Qushui's ear hair, sighed in relief, picked up the spoon in the bowl, stirred the porridge a few times, scooped up a spoonful, and brought it to Qushui's mouth, "Ah——"

Qu Shui laughed straight, opened his mouth obediently, and ate the food from his young lady happily. After swallowing the porridge in his mouth, he asked, "Miss, where have you been these few days? Neither Mr. Wang nor Mrs. Wang knows." .”

"I went to Phoenix City." Nangong Biluo replied, picked up the handkerchief left by Feng Piaoxu, wiped the corners of Qu Shui's mouth, and asked softly, "How did you hurt?"

Qu Shui sighed and talked about going to the Huaiyin Gang.

"I met Xia Tonghua when I rushed to the Huaiyin gang, but she didn't know the secret of the phoenix jade pendant at all. She also said that it was made by the master of the previous generation, and that each of the five phoenix descendants had one, but the secret of the jade pendant has been followed. The ancestors were lost in ancient times. She also took out another Phoenix Jade and asked me to tell you. If you know the secret of Phoenix, please ask someone to tell her. What do you call this? What should I ask? A black-clothed masked woman with a big scar and a white-faced monk stopped my way and asked me where Xue Ding was."

"The woman in black, the scar, and the monk." Nangong Biluo repeated, already knowing who Qu Shui was talking about, but she became more confused.Since Meiji followed Shui'er to the Huaiyin Gang, who was following to Taiyuan?

Pressing doubts, she confirmed with a cold face: "You were hurt by them?"

Qu Shui had a look of displeasure and grievance. "That's not true. Don't say I don't know, even if I know, I can't tell them. It's good now, the woman in black set up a heart-breaking palm and patted me. I have a shadow of this heart-breaking palm, be careful." She wasn't hurt by the heart-breaking palm, but she was easily subdued by her two dog legs, and her shoulder was also injured by the big knife scar. Miss, I'm ashamed of you."

Nangong Biluo immediately raised her hand and touched Qushui's head again, pondered for a while, and asked, "How did you escape after you were subdued?"

Qu Shui frowned, and her expression became more serious and doubtful. While recalling the situation that day, she said, "I didn't escape, they left by themselves."

"Ok?"

"After I was wounded that day, the monk originally said that he was going to take me away. Even if he couldn't find out Xue Ding's whereabouts, he could use me to threaten you, but the woman called 'Niangniang' didn't speak. At the mouth, Xia Tonghua and the others heard the movement and brought someone over, but the woman didn't know what to think, and she took the person away. With the martial arts of the three of them, they are not afraid of a few more people from the Huaiyin Gang, so why did they leave?" Qu Shui really couldn't figure it out, so he hung some colors for her, and didn't ask anything.

Nangong Biluo remembered that Meiji had shown mercy to her many times during the hero meeting, and she didn't care much about Qu Shui's doubts. What she thought was that if Meiji came to arrest Xue Ding on behalf of the walking corpse building, then what would happen to those people in Taiyuan? Who sent it?

"Miss, actually I think that woman in black—" Qu Shui thought of something, and his voice was a little low.

Nangong Biluo was thinking about something, but didn't hear clearly, "What did you say?"

"No, it's nothing." Qu Shui didn't continue talking, and murmured to himself: I must have made a mistake.

Nangong Biluo didn't doubt that he was there, and said to Qu Shui: "Shui'er, you don't have to run around these days, just rest for a while. If you meet that trio later on, take a detour."

"Huh? That's so embarrassing." Qu Shui felt a little reconciled.

Nangong Biluo laughed and said angrily: "You, have you forgotten to guard against arrogance and impetuosity? Those three are Meiji, Miaokong and Helianba from the walking corpse building. If you can't beat them, why don't you take a detour?"

"You are Miss, you have the final say." Qu Shui rubbed his shoulders, no longer entangled.

Just then there was a knock on the door, and Feng Piaoxu came to Qushui's room again, this time bringing Ning Yan and Qin Zhiyuan.

"Huh, the two of you actually came to see me together." Qu Shui looked at Ning Yan and Qin Zhiyuan who came together in novelty, thinking that their relationship had eased, and he had a bright smile on his face.

Qin Zhiyuan forced a smile and didn't dare to look at Ningyan, but Ningyan's face was condensed, and even the wind fluttering eyes were colder than before, especially when looking at Ningyan.But when she turned to Nangong's master and servant, she returned to normal, and she said, "Ningyan and Mr. Qin heard that Shui'er was injured, so come and take a look, Nangong."

Seeing Feng Piaoxu winking at her, Nangong Biluo put the bowl away and said, "Brother Qin, Miss Qin, please chat with Shui'er for a while, I still have something to deal with."

"Okay." Qin Zhiyuan responded.

Ningyan's eyes fell on Nangong Biluo, her coldness subsided a little, she also nodded slowly, not looking at Feng Piaoxu, nor Qu Shui, only watching Nangong Biluo walking in front of her, and leaving with Feng Piaoxu.

She looked at the backs of Feng Piaoxu and Nangong Biluo motionlessly, her expression was a little more complicated.

Over there, Qin Zhiyuan had already chatted with Qu Shui. Seeing that Qu Shui was in good spirits, Qin Zhiyuan felt relieved, and patiently explained Qu Shui's teasing and gossip. The two have known each other since they met, and their friendship has grown deeper and deeper. .

Ning Yan was in a trance for a long time before she came back to the laughter of Qu Shui and Qin Zhiyuan. She walked towards them, Qin Zhiyuan stepped aside, and she stood at the edge of the bed condescendingly looking at Qu Shui who looked up at her with a smile. .

"Qin Yanran, when will you teach me a few ways to restrain the heart-breaking palm, I suffered from the heart-breaking palm again."

Ning Yan's eyebrows relaxed, although she never smiled, her coldness has gone a lot, "You think well."

She sat down and picked up the bowl that Nangong Biluo put down, "Can you eat it yourself, do you want someone to feed you?"

Qu Shui raised his right arm, "What do you think, I'm not left-handed, and I'm not as flexible as my lady's left and right hands. Besides, I'd like them to feed me, so you might as well let it go, I can't bear it."

Ningyan's expression didn't change much, she glanced at Qushui, stirred the porridge like Nangong Biluo, scooped up a spoonful, and fed it to Qushui.

Qu Shui ate it in one gulp half disgusted and half proud, Ning Yan was in charge of feeding her, and Qin Zhiyuan was in charge of talking with her, the harmony between the three was rare, all thanks to their injuries.

But after Nangong Biluo and Feng Piaoxu left, the two came to the study and sat down at the stone table in the yard.

Feng Piaoxu asked, "Where have you been these days, and you didn't even leave a message?"

Nangong Biluo: "I'm going to catch Xue Ding."

Feng Piaoxu's eyes changed, and he asked: "Did you catch it?"

Nangong Biluo: "I caught it, but—"

Feng Piaoxu: "But what?"

Nangong Biluo: "A few of my friends even lost their lives when I met a robber."

Feng Piaoxu frowned, "Do you know who it is?"

Nangong Biluo also frowned, "It's not Wang Jin's person anyway, I was suspicious of the Walking Corpse Building, but if it was Mei Ji who hurt Shui'er, it doesn't look like the Walking Corpse Building. Who are they? How can you act so quickly?"

Feng Piaoxu remained calm, and only asked, "Then what do you plan to do after you arrested Xue Ding?"

Nangong Biluo thought for a moment, then said: "Of course it is to lure the snake out of the hole."

Feng Piaoxu: "What kind of quotation?"

Nangong Biluo smiled coldly, "When Xue Ding was caught, someone reported the case to the local yamen. I don't think it will be long before someone from this palace should come."

Feng Piaoxu asked: "Are you going to hand Xue Ding over to Wang Jin?"

Nangong Biluo neither nodded nor shook her head, and sat silently.Feng Piaoxu didn't urge her, and quietly looked at Nangong Biluo's side face thinking about something, probably returning from a quick trip, her lips were a little chapped, although she was plain, she was a good-looking woman.

She is like a pool of warm water that makes people comfortable and at ease, with a pair of moving eyes, bright and firm.

Just as Feng Piaoxu was looking at Nangong Biluo in a daze, He Wu came and reported: "Miss, Jin Yiwei has come to let you enter the palace."

Nangong Biluo smiled unexpectedly, "What did I say. Uncle Wu told them that I will go right away."

After He Wu stepped back, the female arrester stood up, looked at herself, and then asked Feng Piaoxu, "Does Boss Feng have a mirror?"

Feng Piaoxu suddenly came back to his senses, puzzled, "What?"

Nangong Biluo smiled and said: "I want to see, am I full of travel and dust, do I look like a poor person running around?"

When Feng Piaoxu heard her say this, she couldn't help but want to raise her hand to brush her chapped lips and wipe her dusty face.Usually female arresters are clean and energetic, and rarely make themselves look haggard. In fact, she was dressed in wind and frost, drank the dust, walked the rivers and lakes with righteousness, and rode thousands of miles with a sword whenever she encountered injustice. Over the years Has she ever thought that she is also a lovable woman?

Realizing what was in his heart, Feng Piaoxu immediately restrained the hand that was about to raise, and responded: "It's pitiful enough, do you want to wipe your face before leaving?"

"Ha, that's what I want." Nangong Biluo laughed, but she didn't think it was enough. She smoothed the sleeves of her clothes with her hand and wiped her face. Then she turned and walked towards the gate. After walking a few steps, she Stopped, looked back at Feng Piaoxu and said: "Doesn't Boss Feng want news from Xue Ding in the Walking Corpse Tower? Xue Ding was arrested by Wang Jin's order. I was intercepted, and Xue Ding fell into Wang Jin's hands. Just give them the news."

Feng Piaoxu was a little confused, and couldn't think of Nangong Biluo's plan for a while, but replied: "I will report this news."

Nangong Biluo raised a smile, and the look of looking back was reflected in Feng Piaoxu's eyes, and then turned around, leaving behind a tall and straight figure.

Feng Piaoxu, who had always been calm, suddenly felt a sense of danger approaching, and then called to Nangong Biluo, "Nangong."

Nangong Biluo stopped and turned around, "Huh? What's the matter?"

Feng Piaoxu calmed down, and calmly said: "My injury is almost recovered, and Xue Ding's news is also available. I should go back to Fengyue Tower. I can't do without me there."

Nangong Biluo's pupils shrank slightly, she watched Feng Piaoxu silently for a while, then sighed: "Well, it's been so long. If Boss Feng wants to go back, go back. I will go to Fengyue Tower to find you."

"……it is good."

Nangong Biluo smiled again, but when she turned around, she lost her smile, with melancholy appearing on her brows, she put aside her distracting thoughts and went to see Wang Jin first.

The supervisor of ceremonies is at the office of Wang Jin.

When Nangong Biluo saw Wang Jin, the old eunuch still looked aloof, holding a dust whisk in his hand and pretending to close his eyes, when he heard Nangong Biluo yell, "I'm humbled to see Wang Gonggong", he opened his eyes and glanced at Nangong Biluo.

He saw the woman catcher's busy appearance, lowered his voice, and asked, "I heard you caught Xue Ding?"

Nangong Biluo replied: "I caught it."

Wang Jin's eyes widened, and she raised her voice: "Well, what is original?"

Nangong Biluo raised her head, "I arrested Xue Ding in Taiyuan. I originally sent someone to secretly send him to the capital to hand him over to my father-in-law, but a group of unknown people robbed him. My friend died. Xue Ding also—”

Wang Jin immediately asked, "Dead?"

Nangong Biluo shook her head, "Xue Ding's whereabouts are unknown."

When Wang Jin heard this, his face changed suddenly, and he scolded coldly: "The whereabouts are unknown! Nangong Biluo is this the result of your work? Our family ordered you to hunt down Xue Ding. Apart from wandering around eating and drinking all day long, did you take our family's words? Listen in!"

Nangong Biluo looked at Wang Jin in feigned surprise, with a guarded and angry face and did not speak.

Wang Jin lowered her voice again, and said, "Don't forget, if Xue Ding makes a mistake, I can also punish you."

Nangong Biluo immediately became respectful again, "I understand my father-in-law's concerns. When I caught Xue Ding, I didn't find anything from him. Those men in black found nothing on Xue Ding."

Wang Jin sneered, "Hmph, hum, you can see clearly, you have grasped our family's concerns, but Xue Ding's whereabouts are unknown, and if we don't get rid of him for a day, our family will be in trouble all day long. As for you, the good times are coming to an end .”

Nangong Biluo smiled wryly and said: "What good life is there for a captor? Father-in-law, don't worry. Although Xue Ding's whereabouts are unknown, he can trap those who are against the father-in-law."

Wang Jin raised her eyebrows, "Oh? What's your idea, tell me quickly, and don't be fooled."

"Xue Ding was not caught, but my father-in-law can tell others that I have. Father-in-law, think about it, I went to Taiyuan secretly to arrest Xue Ding, but the group of people who were able to follow behind and rob people must have been watching him all the time." Me, now Xue Ding's whereabouts are unknown, even I can't be found, and those people who are secretly staring at me will not be able to catch them. As long as they leak the news that Xue Ding is here with his father-in-law, they will definitely think that his father-in-law kidnapped Xue Ding secretly. Come on, the attention will naturally shift to the father-in-law, firstly, if they still want to rob people, they can set up an ambush to catch their loopholes, and secondly, I can continue to arrest Xue Ding secretly."

Wang Jin sneered: "So what if you transfer to my place? That's not cheap for you."

Nangong Biluo smiled wryly again: "How could it be that I was taken advantage of? Father-in-law, even if I caught Xue Ding, I would not dare to send him to the Metropolitan Procuratorate or the Criminal Department under your nose. I just want to settle the case of Eunuch Liu. Father-in-law, you As soon as that imperial decree was suppressed, now my reputation is bad, not to mention, several friends have died, and I don’t know if I will have the face to see those old friends again when I go out in the rivers and lakes.”

Wang Jin didn't speak, just looked at Nangong Biluo.

Nangong Biluo said again: "From the very beginning, I released false news about Phoenix Wutong, and let the girl Qu Shui lead people around, but now Shui'er was injured, and I was also ambushed. Father-in-law, don't you think this Is this group of people too scary? The person who attacked Shui'er was Mei Ji, and the person who attacked me..."

Wang Jin narrowed her eyes and murmured fiercely, "The Walking Corpse Building."

Nangong Biluo nodded, "Even if it wasn't, it must have something to do with the Walking Corpse Building. It doesn't matter that this organization killed Eunuch Liu, but also wanted to find something from Xue Ding. It was clear that it was for Eunuch. Against me, I have a deep hatred with me, the high officials of the court were assassinated one after another by the killer building of the walking corpse building, the walking corpse building is so rampant, this group of mobs must not want to overthrow the court, right?"

"Bold!" Wang Jin slapped the table and sternly reprimanded Nangong Biluo: "You are an official of the court, you don't try to get rid of the walking corpse building, and you dare to raise the prestige of others, the Holy Spirit, the ancestors bless you, the Ming Dynasty is so easily overthrown Is it? Be careful that disaster comes from your mouth!"

Nangong Biluo lowered her head, "My father-in-law mentioned something."

Wang Jin's chest heaved with anger. He has always had a deep concentration. This time, the Walking Corpse Building really touched his inverse scales. He no longer just stared at Nangong Biluo, but turned away.After a long silence, his breath gradually calmed down.

"The Walking Corpse Building. A group of people who don't know what to do!" Wang Jin's face twitched, his eyes were dark, "Nangong Biluo, just do as you say. You continue to secretly track down Xue Ding, and the supervisor of rituals will be responsible for diverting attention , I'll see who dares to make trouble again."

Nangong Biluo said respectfully: "Yes, I caught Xue Ding and sent it to my father-in-law immediately. I have resigned."

"Wait." Wang Jin called to stop Nangong Biluo, he paused for a moment, and said ruthlessly: "If necessary, bring Xue Ding's body back, understand?"

"This——" Nangong Biluo was a little embarrassed, "I'm a headhunter after all, and it's about killing people."

Wang Jin laughed, "Sometimes your principles really make people love and hate, and our family didn't ask you to help me kill people, but only said that as a last resort, the dead can close the case."

Nangong Biluo stood on the spot and thought for a while. This old fox Wang Jin is definitely not something that can be brought down by Xue Ding's criminal evidence. For him, Xue Ding may also be a bait.

"As low as possible." She replied to Wang Jin and left.

After Nangong Biluo left, Wang Jin couldn't help murmuring: "Nangong Biluo, Nangong Biluo, it would be great if you could really be used by our family, but it's a pity that you followed your father. Principles are worthless."

Nangong Biluo left the Prison of Rituals and exited the Shenwu Gate, and couldn't help but look back at the majestic Forbidden City.

The rivers and lakes are difficult to navigate, and the officialdom is even more difficult to navigate. Being with a king is like accompanying a tiger. Although Wang Jin is a hateful old eunuch, he has to admit that he is outstanding in being able to sit where he is today.

In the face of the common goal, she might as well use the old eunuch's hand to eradicate the black sheep of the Walking Corpse Building.

Nangong Biluo detained Xue Ding privately. She would not hand Xue Ding over to the Metropolitan Procuratorate where she served, nor would she hand it over to Wang Jin, let alone hand it over to the Walking Corpse Building. But how should she deal with this outrageous thing?

The female arrester went home while thinking. When she got home, she subconsciously walked to the door and stopped. She walked to her room, opened the door, and sighed.

There was still a faint fragrance in the room that did not belong to her, but Feng Piaoxu had already left.

"Boss Feng, are you really trying to hide from me?"

Nangong Biluo smiled self-deprecatingly, she never thought that she would have a day when she would be trapped by love.

Fengyue Building.

After Feng Piaoxu was injured, she returned to Fengyue Tower to take over the overall situation after more than a month.

The first is to pass the news that Xue Ding fell into Wang Jin's hands, and second, to send people to investigate the origin of the group of people who went to Taiyuan to intercept Nangong Biluo. You must intervene in Xue Ding's matter again.

Ning Yan asked unwillingly: "Sister, just because I hurt the Nangong family, you won't even let me take revenge?"

Feng Piaoxu frowned and said: "These are two different things. If you still can't get out of the shadows, Xue Ding will become your demon, making you lose your due judgment and make things you regret."

Ning Yan sneered: "Heh, big sister, if it were you, would you be able to do it?"

Feng Piaoxu was at a loss for words, she looked at the lingering hatred in Ning Yan's eyes, and could only say cruelly: "In short, don't meddle in Xue Ding's affairs, otherwise you will be dealt with according to the building's regulations."

Ningyan stopped talking, stared at Feng Piaoxu for a while, then turned and left.

After Ningyan left, Yaohong said worriedly: "Miss Boss, according to Yanran's temperament, I'm afraid she will still look for Xue Ding. If you know Xue Ding's whereabouts, you might as well tell her, lest she run around and cause trouble .”

"As long as she can't die, it's good to let her have a longer memory. In the past, Zhu Wuxin and I took care of most of the things. This time I was injured, but it made me understand that I can't be by your side forever. One day I have to make my own choice." Feng Piaoxu took off the mask, rubbed her forehead, sat down in front of the dressing table, and looked at herself in the mirror in a daze.

Yaohong felt sorry for Feng Piaoxu, who had just recovered from a serious injury, but after following her for many years, she also knew Feng Piaoxu's nature. It is better to do more and talk less. She presented the account books after Fengyuelou reopened.

Feng Piaoxu casually flipped through the pages, and then asked, "What's going on in the court recently?"

Yaohong replied: "The six ministries are still changing officials, and the important officials of the official ministries have become the targets of everyone's curry favor, but the Ministry of Punishment has not been shaken. After Li Heng left the Metropolitan Procuratorate, his position is still vacant. Wang Rui doesn't seem to be Hurry to make up for the vacancy.”

Feng Piaoxu: "That's not Wang Rui's final decision. The Ministry of Punishment? This Lin Yanshou is a character. Let Lin Lang and the others inquire more about the information, and send more people to monitor the movement of the corpse building."

Yaohong nodded, and then told Feng Piaoxu about the invitations sent to the building, all of which were invitations from some dignitaries to invite Feng Piaoxu to come to the house as a guest.

Feng Piaoxu sighed: "Once the ban on prostitution is lifted, these wealthy businessmen and officials are really active. Let it go, I will make arrangements after I have seen the selection."

After Yaohong piled up the invitations and put them away, she couldn't help suggesting: "Miss Boss, it's better if you're hurt, the banquet can be postponed, don't be too tired. Today, the head catcher of Nangong sent a message, bringing A few prescriptions, let you pay attention to rest, Mrs. Nangong also said, let you try not to work so hard."

Feng Piaoxu flicked the invitation card for a while, and gave Yaohong a cold look, and Yaohong fell silent, lowering her head and not daring to look at her.Feng Piaoxu picked out an invitation at random, and said, "That's it, you can arrange it, and I'll go to the banquet."

Yaohong accepted the post, she wanted Feng Piaoxu to work less, but she didn't want to have the opposite effect, so she didn't dare to say any more, she nodded and retreated.

Feng Piaoxu also knew that Yaohong was doing it for her own good, but resting was enough, and there was no time to get upset when she was busy.

The night at Fengyuelou became more lively because of Feng Piaoxu's return. The dignitaries rushed to choose famous actresses, but the oiran's place where the smoke was condensed was deserted. Perhaps Feng Piaoxu knew that she was in a bad mood and blocked all the guests for her. down.

Ning Yan, who was supposed to meditate behind closed doors, had already changed into a night clothes.

Behind her, there is a 'condensed smoke'.

They couldn't tell the difference in appearance, but when the real Ningyan opened the window and was about to jump out, the fake Ningyan held her back, opened her mouth but couldn't speak, but her eyes and movements stopped Ningyan.

"Quan'er, don't stop me, just lie on the bed and pretend to be asleep, I must go to the palace to check." Ning Yan brushed her hands away, put on the face towel and turned out of Fengyue Tower.

The dumb girl lay on the condensed smoke bed with a worried expression on her face. There was nothing wrong with her at first, but when the wind came, she missed something after all.

Feng Piaoxu sat at the table with a frosty face, Quan'er shivered and presented the written paper, Feng Piaoxu saw it, immediately slapped the paper on the table, and said angrily: "She went to the Supervisor of Rites !You guys are really getting bolder!"

Both Yaohong and Quan'er trembled, Feng Piaoxu glanced at them, remained silent for a moment, and said to Yaohong: "Go and bring me the antidote of Hua Gong San."

Yaohong was startled: "Miss Boss, do you want it?"

Feng Piaoxu said coldly: "Stop talking nonsense, go get it quickly."

Eating Hua Gong San is like a thousand arrows piercing the heart, drinking the antidote is like burning a fire, you will suffer, Feng Piaoxu drank it all in one gulp, and went back to the room without wiping the sweat dripping from his chin.

A moment later, a black figure also flew out of the room on the third floor, heading towards the Forbidden City.
