female catcher

Gao Tao Prison.

The lights in the Iron Prison were bright and not dark, but the low growls like beasts were really noisy, and the metallic sound of the chains colliding was harsh. These sounds made people feel how violent the people imprisoned here were.

"When will that woman Nangong Biluo dare to come to see me? Huh?" Xuan Gang's naked muscles are covered with scars, some new and some old. It was the chain that tangled and limped a leg, and even reduced his food and water to suppress his energy, but it still didn't dampen his instinct to fight at all times.

"Xuan Gang."

The appearance of Nangong Biluo outside the iron fence undoubtedly gave Xuan Gang another reason to be excited. The iron chain made a louder sound. He tried his best to get close to the iron fence, but he failed after breaking a chain. He grinned grinningly: " You are finally willing to show up!"

Nangong frowned and glanced at the broken iron chain. Xuan Gang should have been sealed off from his internal strength, but he actually broke a chain with brute force and wear and tear.She looked at Xuan Gang's distorted face due to hatred and excitement, and said indifferently: "What do you want to say when you keep clamoring to see me?"

"Ha! The punishment here is too boring. It's the same pattern every time. I want to ask you when will you give me a good time? Or do you keep me because you have a lot of things to ask, so why don't you come here all the time? Are you afraid?" Xuan Gang calmed down a bit, he still looked forward to Nangong Biluo's shocked and remorseful appearance after he fell into the trap. "Nangong Biluo, do you know that your greatest danger is always by your side, but you still foolishly choose to ignore it."

Nangong could almost guess what he wanted to say, "You mean Feng Piao Xu."

"That's right! Go and check this woman carefully. In order to achieve her goal and eliminate dissidents, her thoughts are vicious and her methods are dirty. You will know after checking, she..."

"I have executed her with my own hands." Nangong Biluo calmly interrupted Xuan Gang.

As expected, Xuan Gang fell silent because of his astonishment. He couldn't understand Nangong Biluo's calmness. He had imagined a lot of their pain, how could it be such a plain sentence.Nangong Biluo seemed to read his thoughts from his expression, and continued: "You seem to be very disappointed, and you have been locked up for too long, and you don't know many things that happened outside. You plan to miss me step by step. You fell into the trap, but you still failed. You are the only one alive now, and I not only executed Feng Piaoxu with my own hands, but also arrested Zhu Hongyan."

"Zhu Hongyan arrested?" Xuan Gang's expression was strange for a moment, and he fell silent.

Nangong Biluo narrowed his eyes, and continued: "I have been arrested for him, and I have to explain everything, Xuan Gang, I heard that you have always regarded Xiaoyaohou as a god, and he is nothing more than that. You are all vulnerable."

"Fart! Zhu Hongyan, how dare he expose everything! Nangong Biluo, if you dare to hurt Lord Hou, I will make your life worse than death!" Xuan Gang began to lose control of his emotions, and the loud noise attracted the third master and the others to wait for the jailers.The jailers became terrified when they saw Xuan Gang who had started to break free from the chains. They took out their whips and lashed at Xuan Gang outside the iron bars, hoping to let him settle down. It doesn’t work, that’s the only way to go. It’s impossible now. Some people dare to go in.

Xuan Gang seemed to have no pain, his bloodshot eyes only looked at Nangong Biluo.Nangong was also amazed that Xuan Gang's overreaction was like a beast. After seeing him a few times, he still felt that he was not like a human being at all. He was just a machine, a machine that was devoted to Xiaoyaohou.She raised her hand to gather her internal strength, and hit Xuan Gang on the head with a palm, causing him to pass out for a short time, and the yamen servants breathed a sigh of relief.

"I said what exactly did you ask him? He has never been so excited like today." The third master wiped the sweat from his brow.

Nangong also apologized and said: "I confirmed one thing. Third Master, strengthen a few more chains, and put some cartilage powder in his water and food in the future, thank you for your hard work."

"Oh, this freak." The third master asked the jailer to quickly strengthen the chain, "Hurry up, he will be in trouble when he wakes up."

"Third Master, I take my leave."

The third master originally wanted to ask her about the recent rumors, but he didn't expect Nangong Biluo to come and go in a hurry. He had no choice but to ask, but he couldn't help but sighed again when he saw the situation in the cell.

After Nangong left Gaotao Prison, she took out the tokens of Xuan Gang and Yaoyao and walked around looking at them. She frowned and combined the tokens of Yaoyao again, turning over and thinking.Although Xuan Gang lost control after only a few short conversations with Xuan Gang, it is not difficult to find some clues from the conversation. The feeling of disobedience that she had never got from Zhu Hongyan seemed to be confirmed by Xuan Gang.

It seems that it is not just Piaoxu who wants to end everything, maybe the prince...

"Nangong arrests the head." Just as she was still thinking, a group of Jinyi guards suddenly came to block her way. "Eunuch Wang invites Nangong Butou to come into the palace to meet you."

Nangong put away all the jade cards, thinking that Wang Jin would let her go, but unexpectedly they found her.She changed her mind quickly, and sighed: "Eunuch Wang really thinks that I send so many people to invite me every time, and I just want to meet Eunuch too."

"My father-in-law has always been very courteous to Nangong, please."

Supervisor of rituals.

"Nangong Biluo pays homage to the father-in-law." When she saw Wang Jin, Wang Jin was still sitting upright with his eyes closed, and Chunxiang was serving beside him with hostile eyes.

Hearing the voice, Wang Jin opened her eyes and looked at Nangong from head to toe, "Oh, this haggard look is different from when you used to come to our house."

"Elder-in-law is laughing." Nangong Biluo knew how bad his expression was.

"Hey~ You said that you broke the big case of the Walking Corpse Building that has been pending for a long time, and even uncovered the real mastermind behind the scenes, Prince Yu, and you were even impeached by your immediate boss for the crime of perverting the law for personal gain. The position of chief arrester of the third division has been lost. Speaking of which, our family feels sorry for you, so don't stand still, sit down. Xiang'er, let's have some tea." Wang Jin is indeed extraordinarily gentle today.

"Thank you father-in-law for your kindness. Nangong is used to standing in the supervisor of ceremonies. If the mastermind behind the scenes is not the prince, father-in-law may not be distressed today, but a crime. What is waiting for me will not be tea, but a guillotine. "

Wang Jin's eyelids twitched, but she didn't blame her for speaking bluntly, she still said kindly: "Look at what you said, our family is not so unreasonable. Besides, you have given our family Explain, our family still has a clear grievance, Xiang'er will go and get the things."

"Follow the father-in-law." Chunxiang resigned after hearing the words.

Wang Jin and Nangong were left, and Nangong had nothing to say, so Wang Jin sized her up again and said with a smile: "Now there are only the two of us left, and you can be regarded as our family who has been watching all the way from the young to the chief. Let’s also talk about what’s on our minds.”

"My father-in-law, please speak, and Nangong will listen to you."

"Heh heh heh, okay, then let's not beat around the bush. Nangong, come and do things for our family. I used to think that the behind-the-scenes of the organization, the Walking Corpse Building, is not simple and has all kinds of scruples, but now it seems to be true. But that Xiaoyao The lord really failed this time. There are not many people in the court who can compete with our family. Wang Rui is too pedantic, Li Qingbo is too small-minded, Lin Yanshou is old, and the rest are not good enough. Instead of sticking to it With such a group of people, it’s better to come to work under our family. The so-called people who know the current affairs are heroes. If you have ambitions, why don’t you choose a tree to live in? This is our family’s token, and you have the privilege of entering and leaving the palace gate at any time. I reward you Already." Wang Jin took out a token.

Nangong Biluo was silent for a moment, and said calmly: "Elder-in-law, Nangong has no big ambitions. He has always been serious about the truth. The superiors cannot govern the country and the people, and the subordinates cannot comfort the people. They just like to investigate cases. I am such a person, no It's worth your father-in-law's trouble, to be honest, if my father-in-law is using power to suppress me, I dare not disobey, why stick to the formality, the biggest achievement of the Nangong Yijie female stream is only the arrest of the third secretary, and I have no greater ambitions."

"Our family just likes your temperament. You are flexible and persistent. This time, you have dealt with Chunxiang surveillance, the Metropolitan Procuratorate was attacked, and Feng Piaoxu was dealt with. The arrest of the prince really made our family feel your ability. You are smart. There are a lot of people, but there are few people who are smart and do what they want. You say you only like to investigate cases, and our family will not interfere. What our family wants is that you can turn a blind eye to it sometimes. Wang Ruizhi and others are just as good as the Supervisor of Rituals. Your ambition is to investigate the case. Our family has neither violated the law nor committed a crime. It is a political struggle with Wang Rui and others. You really don’t need to participate. In the future, if you investigate your case, our family will This is just to cherish talents, and I am willing to give you an extra backer, what do you think?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chunxiang also came back with a pile of pearls, emeralds, gold and silver, "Elder-in-law, things are ready."

"Nangong, this is also a reward for you. Our family is very satisfied with your completion of this mission."

"Father-in-law was joking, you want the complete list of the Walking Corpse Building, the Huangzilou share has already been taken by the Holy Majesty, and most of those involved in the case have been arrested in the third division's cell. I don't fully obey the father-in-law's order. It's a good thing that the father-in-law didn't blame me. , dare not be greedy for rewards."

"Tsk, don't use the old tricks to fool our family. Today, I won't let you fool me. I don't care about people, and you have to pay for it. As for the list of Huangzilou, I handed it over to the Holy Majesty , is there any difference from handing it over to the Supervisor of Rituals? Hehehe, how many times do we have to say that you have brought down Prince Xiaoyao who has been secretly controlling the court, and now our family is the biggest one in the dynasty? tree, do you think you should reward it?"

Nangong Biluo was speechless. As Zhu Hongyan said, the Xingshilou collapsed and cleaned up a large number of officials involved. There is also one less rudder to check and balance black and white in the rivers and lakes. The calm will only be temporary.And maybe the prince really has something to hide, thinking of the sprite order and her guess, she glanced at Wang Jin's reward and made a decision.

"I really don't dare to take the reward from my father-in-law, but—" Before Wang Jin pulled her face down, she stepped forward and took Wang Jin's token, "I accept the reward from my father-in-law. Just please don't let others spread it Some false rumors, me and Feng Piaoxu, have passed."

Wang Jin was stunned for a moment, and he thought it was quite interesting to hear what Chunxiang said when he came back. Now it seems that it is nothing more than that, so he said with a smile: "Okay, if you know the general situation, our family will not be in a difficult situation."

"Thank you father-in-law. I haven't been home for many days. Please let me go back to rest. I will remember what my father-in-law said."

"En." Wang Jin raised her index finger in satisfaction, and Nangong Biluo left.After she left, Chunxiang asked, "Elder-in-law, is she worth your trouble?"

"It's not worth it, but it's not a waste. Now she is indeed like a bereaved dog, but it's hard to guarantee that she won't cheer up. Zhu Hongyan fell off the horse, but the emperor saved him. The emperor still thinks of that little bit of indifferent family affection." It's unlucky. I think she also feels the oppression of the imperial power. It's not the best time to win her over. Even if she just wants us to accept her, she is still a member of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Dirty water came to Wang Rui and the others. Of course, it’s better to use it for me, you are far behind her, so don’t work harder for our family.”

"It's the father-in-law!" Chunxiang also ignited his fighting spirit when he heard the words.

Mingyufang.

There were only ruins left in Fengyue Building, and the sky was also gray. The rain that hadn't fallen a few days ago seemed to have finally fallen.It was drizzling and raining, with the unique coldness of early spring.

Nangong Biluo lit the paper money in the brazier in front of the ruins, lit the candles and the incense for the sacrifice. This was something that the first seven did not have time to do, and there were traces of the sacrifice beside it, and it seemed that it was not the same day. After thinking about it Also know who it will be.

The corpses in the ruins were turned into a pile of ashes because of the fire, and even the ashes could not be distinguished, but there was a tablet standing there quietly, with Feng Piaoxu's name written on it.

Looking back on everything that happened in this spring and winter alternately, it is true that there are too many helplessness and accidents.I thought that Zhu Hongyan's arrest would give some comfort, but in fact, he was still exhausted and powerless.

"The god of turbulence is the rule of the people. The god of illness and power has many orders. He is born to control the people, and his orders are ruthless. There is no beginning of sluggishness, but there is an end to sternness."

"There's no beginning, but there's an end." She murmured again, but she wasn't talking about herself.I think the scene I saw here at the beginning was turned into scorched earth by her own hands.

It doesn't matter about Fengyue, it doesn't matter about love, but it is also a regret that there will be no more.

An eagle howled from the sky, hovered in the drizzle and landed on her arm. She took off the letter from the eagle's feet, looked at it, and then squeezed it into a ball. Because it was too tight and used internal force, the paper ball Burn in the palm of your hand.

"Miss!" Qu Shui searched everywhere after Fan Er came to the door and finally found her, just in time to see the fire in her palm.She cried out in worry, but she had already thrown the burning paper ball into the brazier.Qu Shui walked over and asked, "Whose letter is it and what did you write?"

"I wrote a letter from Shaolin Temple." Nangong Biluo's eyes were exhausted, "After receiving my explanation, Monk Hua's spirit in heaven will understand."

Qu Shui was speechless, looking at the ruins, her bloodshot eyes turned even redder instantly, but she couldn't say anything at all, Nangong Biluo also bowed three times to the ruins.

"Let's go, Shui'er."

"Bah, hypocrisy!" The sudden voice made them look, and they saw Lu Sanniang, Liu Yizhi, and Lin Lang, who had already been groomed, also came to worship.

Nangong Biluo ignored their cold eyes and did not plan to stay any longer. "Let's go, Shui'er."

She said it again and walked past Lu Sanniang and the others. The rain had already soaked her hair, and Lu Sanniang wanted to curse a few more words to vent her anger. She felt depressed and could only vent to Nangong Biluo, but Liu Yizhi held her back .

"Forget it, Sanniang, do you have the heart to see her like that?"

"She deserves it!"

Qu Shui carefully glanced at Nangong Biluo's side face, as if nothing had happened, and as if everything had been engraved on her face, she was so calm that people felt cold from the bottom of her heart.

Don't come to this place in the future, Qu Shui whispered in his heart with wet eyes.

The two master and servant returned home without a word. As soon as they reached the lobby, Su Yingyue rushed in front of Nangong Biluo, and solemnly raised her head to look directly into Nangong Biluo's eyes. "What's going on with those rumors outside!"

Nangong breathed out lightly, "Shui'er, bring me that black jar."

Qu Shui did as he did, Nangong Biluo took it, stroked it lightly a few times, and handed it to Su Yingyue, who took it in confusion.She said: "This is father's ashes, I got it from Piaoxu."

Su Yingyue's face turned pale, and the people of Nangong's family also tightened their hearts in amazement. They all looked at Nangong Biluo.

Nangong Biluo continued: "The rumors outside are not all false. I and Piaoxu are what you think, and she is indeed Meiji, and she told me that she killed my father herself, but I can't hate her, I'm sorry Mother, I can't hate her. She has too much to hide, but if I really get to know her, I can only hate that it was too late when I met her, too late when I met her, and too little time to understand and be honest with each other. She carried it all and chose to die thinking I could hate and forget."

"Mother, there are people who are always willing to live tenaciously with pain and sin, and are willing to give kindness. There are too many winds that we can't participate in. When she leans in my arms and closes her eyes, I know , I can't help but love Feng Piaoxu."

Su Yingyue's eyes darkened, but she held on and didn't fall down. She expected many explanations, but holding her husband's ashes and listening to her daughter's love story to another woman, she was left with confusion and heart-wrenching pain.Not for myself, not for love, just for being a mother.

"Bastard girl!"

"Who says it's not, but mother, it's all over. I'm tired and want to take a bath and rest."

Su Yingyue restrained her breathing as much as possible, maybe she should go forward and slap her a few times to make her forget and change, but some things have already happened, even to the point where she doesn't know what to do.Ask yourself when she heard that it was Feng Piaoxu who killed her husband, her first reaction was that there must be something hidden in it, people will be controlled by emotions to an incomprehensible level, and she is still like this.What kind of mentality will this bastard use to execute Piaoxu, and dare to admit love in front of her?

Love?

"Fifth Aunt, boil hot water for Miss." Su Yingyue commanded her stunned family in a hoarse voice, while she passed Nangong Biluo with Nangong Haotian's ashes in her arms. She didn't hide her anger, but she didn't Vent to Nangong Biluo.

When she left, Liushang and the others looked at each other and went to work on their own affairs one after another. Nangong Biluo was left standing alone in the lobby. She turned to look at the drizzle outside, and went to the eaves to catch the water drops with her palm.

She smiles, not for anything else, but because she has never regretted everything she has done so far.

She whispered, "It's spring."

Fengyue has nothing to do.

--Five years of moonlight--
