female catcher

"drive!"

The master and servant of Nangong Biluo galloped against the morning dew. They were used to the dryness of the dust and wind. They always held the sword and led the border. The two of them walked casually for many years.She already had a lot of pretensions in her heart, and her body was always neat and tidy, and she seldom carried anything else, but the female arrester tightened the burden tied behind her back, and there was still a hint of a smile on the corner of her mouth.

A whole set of luggage including close-fitting clothing, made by the person who thought about it, has been handed down through thousands of mountains and rivers, and has added the softest precipitation in her heart full of ambition.

"Miss, are you in such a hurry to return to Beijing because you are afraid that there will be mistakes in arresting Zhang Du and the others?" Immediately Qu Shui asked.

"The first, the second is to return to Master Qin as soon as possible, and the handover of important people from Zhang Gu and the Cao Gang should be done as soon as possible. I'm afraid there will be changes."

"Huh? You have arranged the escort in unprecedented detail. What changes will happen? Could it be that they are involved in some other important case? The relationship between you and the scholar is also strange. It is said that there is a tacit understanding and a lot of closeness, and it is a bit mysterious. And Mr. Wang obviously has a scholar to share his worries, but he doesn't know what he is busy with. He always looks more and more serious. I greeted him many times, and he looked at me seriously. I can't tell what I feel, just a feeling He's preoccupied, and he's not the same as before."

"Speaking of which, Mr. Wang and Mr. Zhao Yi do seem to be a little troubled, but when I asked him, he said that it was a small problem. Let me follow Mr. Qin to deal with the matter at hand. As for Mr. Qin and I, we have a common goal and there are differences. Less disagreement, I will see the shadow of Li Heng in him, and I will also see the shadow of the prince." Nangong Biluo suddenly felt a little emotional when talking about Qin Zhiyuan, "This sour talent is an admirable person."

"You said long ago that a scholar is definitely not something in the pool. Since he took office, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has been doing things faster and faster. He is capable and more easy-going than Mr. Wang. Besides, you are in his The hands are also much more relaxed. But what does it have to do with Li Heng and the prince? Miss, are you still heartbroken by the matter of the prince?"

"Just looking at him reminds me of Li Heng back then. He was a good-looking man who was full of vigor and vigor. He wanted to plead for the people's life, but in the end he was defeated in the corrupt officialdom. Mr. Qin is more suitable for officialdom than Li Heng. And the prince..."

Nangong Biluo's expression was indeed sentimental, she recalled the dispute with Qin Zhiyuan about the prince.Ever since she knew that Qin Zhiyuan had been to the high wall of the royal family, she hadn't asked, but Qin Zhiyuan came to her first.Even Zhu Hongyan told Qin Zhiyuan what he didn't reveal to her, including his life experience and the thoughts behind his contradictory behavior. Qin Zhiyuan also learned the whole story, and later met her as a confidant of the prince.

It is different from Zhu Hongyan's unfathomable Tianjia posture, and it is not because of her persistence of a Jianghu female catcher, but with her arguing with her several times from the standpoint of a Confucian and Taoist minister. He understands compassion for the people better than the prince, and understands Zheng Dao said that her hesitation was calmed down in the dispute and exchange with Qin Zhiyuan. After all, different people do different things, and there is no rush for justice.

As a minister, what you want to maintain is still a stable dynasty, and you have even more worries about choosing and choosing.She will feel a little sad, but she still admires officials who are still sober and compassionate in the torrent and quagmire. Qin Zhiyuan is one of them.At least he is a good friend and a good friend, which made her see a little sparkle again in the officialdom.

She also understands why Qin Zhiyuan was made an exception to stay in the capital, understands why Zhu Hongyan appreciates him with all his strength and talks to him, he understands Zhu Hongyan's position better, and is more sober in doing what he should do.Qin Zhiyuan arranged for this time to solve the human trafficking case. She obeyed and helped, and rescued the suffering women and children. The second was to use an excuse to bring Zhang Gu back to Beijing. weakened balance.

Maybe he can't uphold absolute justice, be loyal to the king before loving the people, be the first to submit to the kingship, and may not be able to get rid of Wang Jin and the Iron Hat King in the end, but he will eat away at their wings and prevent their sinful tentacles from extending infinitely , He used his stand to act his righteousness.

Nangong Biluo also understands why Zhu Hongyan is willing to spend all his energy to protect Mrs. Wang, and her, and even regret after killing Song Qingtian's family. One more good official will be more clear, and the achievements he expected for thousands of generations will be realized. has hope.He knows how to govern the country, he has the heart of an emperor, and although he pretends to be free, he has never broken through the world of mortals.

He is of real royal blood, but with the same mother and half father as the current emperor, he is the favored son of heaven, he is gifted and intelligent, but he suffers from a rare disease, he has ambitions, but he has received rare affection from the emperor's family, he wants to be free in the world After all, he couldn't let go of his ancestral foundation, and couldn't let go of his friendship.

He is very contradictory, and his state of mind has changed several times along the way. He is the number one idle king of Ming Dynasty, the number one intelligence dealer, the military adviser of the number one assassin building, and the sprite of Xiaoyaohou.

"Shui'er, do you ask me if my heart hurts for the prince? It hurts, it's even a pity, but after all, he walks the kingly way and I walk the chivalrous way. It's all a choice."

She has an old friend named Zhu Hongyan.

"No matter how painful your heart is, Nangong Biluo is also a fast catcher. Wearing a catch uniform, he walks the rivers and lakes with his sword. Drive!"

"Miss! Drive!"

The two horses, one after the other, hurried away through the mountains and forests.

The wind and rain came back overnight, and it rained for several days in a row near the capital. The horseshoes were full of mud. The master and servant rushed back to Beijing at night in capes and hats. The sight was blurred by the continuous rain.

Qu Shui said irritably, "Miss, are we still going to the yamen?"

Nangong also frowned, "No, let's go home and pack your luggage first, let's freshen up. Why do I feel a little restless?"

"It must have been rainy for days to make people uncomfortable."

"Ah."

When the two of them returned to Nangong Mansion, the courtyard gate was wide open, and He Wu, the gatekeeper, was nowhere to be seen.Nangong panicked and got off the horse and hurried home. She was relieved by the brightly lit room and the silhouette of the figure, but when she entered the living room, she was taken aback by the atmosphere in the room.He and the five elders looked gloomy, Cao Yu'an was talking softly to Su Yingyue, and Su Yingyue wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, her eyes were red.

Nangong Biluo immediately asked distressedly: "Mother, what's wrong with you?"

"Luoer!" As soon as Su Yingyue heard the sound, she immediately got up and went towards Nangong Biluo, but standing in front of her daughter, she was choked up again and couldn't speak for a while.

"Mom, what's the matter?"

Cao Yu'an walked over, took Su Yingyue's arm, and replied for her: "Nangong, Lord Wang Rui is in prison."

A thunderstorm just fell outside the window, Nangong thought he heard it wrong, "What?"

"Wang Rui's house was ransacked, and your aunt Qing died of illness in prison." Su Yingyue said it again, and her nose was sour when she mentioned Wang Rui's wife.That was her close friend for many years. After Nangong Haotian left, she did not lose her strength. Thanks to the company of a group of little sisters, Mrs. Wang was her best friend. She wasted half her life saving lives and healing the wounded, but her best friend died of illness in prison. What did she do? Can't do it either.

Qu Shui was stunned for a while, she couldn't believe the news, although she often contradicted Wang Rui, she knew that Wang Rui was a good official, and Nangong Biluo respected him like a father.She worriedly called Nangong Biluo who was silent, "Miss."

Nangong Biluo recovered her voice, "What's going on?"

Su Yingyue hesitated to speak, Cao Yuan saw that the members of the Nangong family didn't want to speak, and said: "As far as I know, Mr. Wang was arrested for using the public to seek personal gain, serious corruption and bribery, and intent to conspire. Someone reported him before Filed a case to investigate the Xingshilou, but repeatedly suppressed... the investigation and punishment of Fengyuelou, deliberately covering up. Earlier, it was widely rumored that Feng Piaoxu, the leader of the Xingshilou, was not dead, and the recently prosperous Weiguimen also rumored to be related to Fengyue. It is related to Piaoxu, and he has also acted to humiliate the court. The most powerful evidence is that a large amount of treasures and letters related to the walking corpse were found in Mr. Wang's home, and Mr. Wang - he has signed a plea , because the conspiracy was false, so Ling Chi was not granted, and the whole family was beheaded two days later. But because his wife had died of illness in prison, and his son's whereabouts were unknown when he was arrested, so two days later, only Mr. Wang was beheaded for public display, and Wang Muqing was arrested. .”

Nangong Biluo felt the world spinning for a moment, she gritted her teeth and turned around immediately, "I'm going to the yamen."

"Luo'er, don't go! It's useless. The Metropolitan Procuratorate has used all available manpower for this, but you can't even see Wang Rui's face, and you don't even know where the prison is. Xiao Qin asked me to tell you, The most important thing now is to find Xiao Muqing, he is trying to find a way with Wang Rui."

"Xiao Muqing?" Nangong Biluo only paused for a moment, she only wanted to see Wang Rui now, "Shui'er, send an urgent letter to look for Wang Muqing immediately, I'll go find Master Lin, I don't believe he doesn't even know the whereabouts of Master Wang! When I go to the palace, I will also find Lord Wang!"

"It's Miss!"

She and Qu Shui disappeared in the blink of an eye. Cao Yu'an couldn't even say a word, so she could only worry: "Aunt Su, didn't Mr. Qin repeatedly ask Nangong to beware of acting impulsively? I think she looks extremely angry, I'm a little worried."

Su Yingyue sighed and shook her head, "Wang Rui has an accident, she can't ignore it, not to mention that Wang Rui's crime is nothing but the crime of covering up Piaoxu, let her go, Wang Rui's weight in Luo'er's heart is no more than that of Luo'er." Haotian is light."

"Shui Qing, you have to bless their father and son to get through this difficult time." Su Yingyue thought of Mrs. Wang again, and her heart ached like a twist.Cao Yu'an could only pat her back and tell her to sit down and rest. As for other situations, he only hoped that Qin Zhiyuan, who had notified her to come here, would deal with them.

Lin House.

As if he had expected Nangong Biluo to come, the servant held the umbrella to welcome the drenched Nangong Biluo into Lin Yanshou's study and closed the door to leave.Behind the desk, Lin Yanshou, who used to smile like Maitreya, no longer smiled. He looked a lot older, and looked up at Nangong Biluo.

"Master Lin..."

"Girl, I know what you're going to say, but listen to me first." Lin Yanshou interrupted her directly, and then sighed: "The old Wang's matter can't be saved, you have to accept it."

"I just want to know where Lord Wang is!"

Lin Yanshou shook his head, only to hear a snap, and the desk in front of him was broken by Nangong Biluo's palm.Lin Yanshou trembled in shock, looked at Nangong Biluo who was clenching his fist with lingering fear, and said in surprise, "Girl, do you still want to kill me?"

"Let me ask again where is Lord Wang?"

"I do not know."

Nangong Biluo's expression was ruthless, but she would not hurt Lin Yanshou who had a close relationship with his grandfather, she said: "If you are not in the yamen, then you are in the palace, even if you turn the capital upside down, I don't believe you can't find it! "

She left after she finished speaking, but Lin Yanshou scolded: "Stop, you're so reckless! Are you going to die?"

Nangong Biluo sneered, "You forgot, my clothes are made of recklessness. I have broken through dragons and tigers' lairs. I am born tough."

"Luo'er! Wang Rui will die if he touches Tianwei. Are you going to smash your head against the iron wall of the palace? He has a letter for you!"

Nangong Biluo stopped, there was an unstoppable thunderstorm outside the house, Lin Yanshou got up, took the bloody letter and walked to her side, sighed: "I didn't want to tell you, this is me in the Supervisor of Rites. His acquaintances helped steal it out, and Wang Rui entrusted it, so his death is doomed."

"Inspector of Ceremonies, did Wang Jin harm him?"

"Oh, read the letter first."

Nangong Biluo looked at the blood mark on it and dared not reach out, "Master Lin, help me see."

Lin Yanshou shook his head distressedly. He opened the letter and read it first. After hesitating for a while, he said, "Wang Rui told you that he traced the clues left by your father and discovered something else about the case of the walking corpse building. Although Chen Chao and Feng Piaoxu are both guilty, they are both scapegoats, and the world has a clear view, no one should be wronged, and no one should get away with it."

"As the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he has the responsibility to make everything clear. Even if it violates the power of heaven, he has to do it. In fact, he has already expected that he may die in the line of duty. Why do you want to punish him? There is nothing to worry about? However, if a big man eats the king and worries about the king, if he is more upright, he will die well. I only hope that you will learn from the lesson and act more carefully. He has already taken responsibility for the wind and the wind, and you don’t need to be angry for him. Impulsive, I still want to keep your good martial arts to assist Qin Zhiyuan, continue to plead for the people, and the responsibility of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is to make the world clear."

"Finally, I beg you to find the youngest son who took care of him. He was taken away by his old slaves when he was arrested, and find a place for him to live and live. If you can't find it or you have already been arrested, then you don't have to worry about it. The Spring and Autumn Festival is for The three of his family have a mouthful, and it is enough for someone to remember him in the world, so if you want it, it is a pity for your life."

"no yet?"

"No more, here it is." Lin Yanshou also blushed, "Luo'er, sorry for my life."

Nangong Biluo's finger that took the letter turned white due to the force, "Lord Wang knows that he has found out everything, but he didn't say anything and took on everything with all his strength. Offending Tianwei? It turned out that no one dared to offend. At that time, he was ready to sacrifice his blood to heaven, he is the person I respect most in my life."

"Wang Rui is a person who is truly loyal to the emperor and loves the people, but his uprightness is not enough to impress the ruthless heaven. Girl, did you hear what Wang Rui said to you? Learn from the lesson and act carefully."

"Master Lin, did you also notice something?"

"Although I don't know what happened specifically, and I don't want to know what it is, but since Wang Rui was imprisoned in the Prison of Rituals, I know that only the one above acquiesced, the Supervisor of Rituals dared to do this to Wang Rui. You guys, sometimes you just don't understand. No matter how obsessed you are with the clearness of the world, you should not forget that the surname of this world is Zhu." Lin Yanshou walked to the window and opened it, looking at the thunderstorm in the dark night and muttering: "Some things require one eye to be closed. One-eyed. There won't always be light in the sky."

Nangong Biluo silently looked at Lin Yanshou's hunched back.

"Miss, Xiao Wang was taken to the palace by the inspector of ceremonies!" Qu Shui came running in the rain.

Lin Yanshou's heart skipped a beat, but he shook his head without looking back, and soon he saw the two people leaving from the window.

Outside the palace gate, a group of people were rushing in the heavy rain with a comatose child on their backs.

Suddenly there was a thunderstorm, and they felt a pain in their bodies and they were knocked down. Qian Hu, who had been reduced to an ordinary guard, took a closer look and said angrily: "Nangong Biluo!"

Jin Yiwei also surrounded Nangong Biluo who was alone at this time, she only said calmly: "I'll take Wang and his son away."

"Bold, take it down!" Jin Yiwei immediately moved his hand, Qian Hu knew how powerful she was, and immediately ran to report to Wang Jin.

On a rainy night, ten Jinyiwei stopped Nangong Biluo. Her sword had already been knocked down, and she knocked down Jinyiwei one by one with only her sleeve darts. The sleeve darts were beaten extremely heavily by the rain, but it didn't affect her at all and threw her to the ground. That child, who was about to touch him, suddenly collapsed out of thin air.

Immediately, Nangong Biluo was also hit on the shoulder with a palm, vomiting blood and fell to the ground. She looked up and saw Wang Jin standing in the rain with a dust whisk in his hand.

"Nangong Biluo, this is not a place for you to be presumptuous, so get the hell out of here." Wang Jin was showing mercy after all.

Nangong Biluo got up from the ground, the rain had washed away the blood from the corner of her mouth long ago, and she had suffered from Wang Jin's congenital aura unsuspectingly. Now her face was pale and her breathing was disordered, but she still said: "I will take them away today."

"Nonsense! Our family knows that you have worked with Wang Rui for many years. You are both a teacher and a friend, but he has already been convicted and pleaded guilty. No matter how unwilling you are, you will not be able to reverse the case. If you don't leave, don't blame our family for being rude. "

"I can't go."

"Come here, hit eighty strikes on the spot and blast back to the mansion." Wang Jin gave the order, but he was still reluctant to kill Nangong Biluo, and he didn't want to argue with her.

Nangong Biluo struggled a bit, but because of her injuries, she could only be pressed to the ground. The rain splashed into her mouth was nothing, and the pain in her hind legs was nothing. She watched Wang Jin's people want to take Xiao Wang Take it away, threw a token and said in a loud voice: "Grandpa, Nangong didn't ask you for anything, but only this token in exchange for the child's life, even if Nangong dies, it doesn't matter!"

Wang Jin caught his token and was taken aback for a moment. At this time, Qu Shui, who was left behind by Nangong, also came to Qin Zhiyuan. Qin Zhiyuan yelled immediately when he heard that: "Stop!"

"Miss!" Qu Shui also kicked Jin Yiwei away, and knelt beside Nangong Biluo who couldn't get up.

"Eunuch Wang, everyone in the Metropolitan Procuratorate will be under the supervision of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so don't worry about the supervisor." After Qin Zhiyuan finished speaking, he walked to Nangong's side and ordered: "Nangong, get up!"

She shook her head, "Master Qin, save Xiaomu..."

Qin Zhiyuan knelt down and shook his head, "Stop talking, get up, I'll carry you on my back."

Nangong Biluo didn't want to, but Qin Zhiyuan put her arms around her to support her up without saying a word, and bent over to walk away with her bruised back.

"Wait." But Wang Jin stopped them, walked up to the child who was picked up, touched his neck and said: "The child is no longer alive, you take it away, Mr. Qin, our family is selling you this face today , Today’s incident should be regarded as never happened. Nangong, you take back the token too, there is no reason to take back the things given by our family. Let’s go!”

Wang Jin asked the token to put down the child and took the child away. Qu Shui immediately went to pick up the child and said happily, "Scholar, Miss, Xiao Muqing..."

"Shui'er!" Qin Zhiyuan shook his head, "Let's go too."

Qin Zhiyuan carried Nangong Biluo on his back, and Qu Shui hurried back to Nangong's house with the child in his arms. Qin Zhiyuan, a frail scholar, was stubborn, and ran all the way for half of the capital. , under the care of Su Yingyue, Nangong Biluo took the medicine for internal injuries, and Wang Muqing was fine.

As soon as he took the medicine, Nangong asked, "Master Qin, who is Mr. Wang?"

Qin Zhiyuan stood up, shaking his head with a serious face, but his lips trembled, "Nangong, Zhang Gu and the others are already dead, and the evidence collected by the Supervisor of Ceremonies was also destroyed because Mr. Wang was imprisoned. We lost, lost Lord Wang, but the Metropolitan Procuratorate is still there! We are still there!"

Nangong Biluo and Qin Zhiyuan looked at each other for a long time, then closed their eyes, unwilling to let go of the heat in them.

Qin Zhiyuan also took a deep breath, "Auntie, I'm leaving first, Nangong will recuperate at home. Uncle Wu, Xiao Muqing must be sent away as soon as possible."

"I will send you a scholar."

"Shui'er, let me go, you stay and take care of Nangong." Cao Yu'an chased him out with an umbrella, and she also wanted to ask Qin Zhiyuan something.

After they left, Nangong Biluo opened her eyes, and her eyes had lost the slightest emotion. Seeing the unconscious child next to her, she raised her hand to wipe his face, and ordered: "Uncle Wu, take the child back to the room first." Bar."

Su Yingyue: "Luo'er, is it okay for you?"

"I'm sad, but it's okay." She snapped Wang Jin's token on the table, "Shui'er, help me go back to the room to get the medicine."

Su Yingyue picked up the token of the Supervisor of Rituals and looked at it, sighed and threw it on the table in disgust, "Hey, this bastard is lucky enough. Fifth aunt, let's go and take care of Xiao Muqing."

They also went to take care of Wang Muqing, leaving behind a wet iron plate.

Two days later, Wang Rui was beheaded.

It was still raining heavily, and the execution ground was deserted. Wang Jin sat on the execution platform and waited for the time to arrive. Wang Rui, who was covered in scars, quickly knelt on the execution platform, dragging his chains.Wang Rui, who has always been given a light punishment, also suffered unprecedented torture when he was arrested, but when he knelt down, he still stood upright.

Looking at the unkempt Wang Rui, Wang Jin suddenly felt a little emotional, "In all these years, I don't know how many times I have thought that such a day will come, but I still refuse to bow my head up to now? It's a pity that the sun didn't come out, and even watching a lively person nothing."

As soon as the words fell, a group of people appeared on the execution ground, headed by Nangong Biluo and Qin Zhiyuan, all of them were fast arresting officials. Except for Qin Zhiyuan's ordinary clothes, the rest were in official clothes, with white hemp belts tied on their arms and heads. Without an umbrella, they stood on the sidelines in an orderly manner.

"Haha, isn't this coming? Mr. Wang kneels down for the people and bows his head for righteousness." Wang Rui laughed loudly, and then said in a long voice: "Yi Yu's heart is good, even though he died nine times, he still has no regrets."

"Hmph, execution."

Wang Rui didn't want to face Wang Jin, he turned around and smiled at the people who came to see him off, when he looked at Wang Muqing who slipped in front of Nangong Biluo from among the adults, his eyes finally got wet, his son didn't cry Don't make a fuss, just stand obediently at the front, looking at him obsessively.Wang Rui nodded happily, and finally put his head on the ground, bent his waist, and faced Nangong Biluo and the others.

When the knife was raised and dropped, Nangong Biluo covered Wang Muqing's eyes with his hand. The back of his hand was covered with icy rain, and the palm of his hand was filled with hot tears from Xiao Muqing. Wang Rui's head rolled into the rain, spilling hot blood all over the ground. Flowing with rain.

The shrouded man took Wang Rui away, and Wang Jin met Qin Zhiyuan and Nangong Biluo's eyes, his eyelids twitched, and he snorted coldly, unwilling to stay any longer.

A group of people caught up with the shrouded man, followed them all the way, sent them all the way, took back Wang Rui's body and buried it with Mrs. Wang in a simple way. The very simple stele only wrote about the Wangs and his wife.Accompanied Xiao Muqing to burn incense, and when he knelt down, the sky gradually cleared.

Qin Zhiyuan: "Although Wang Jin let Xiao Muqing go, it's hard to guarantee that he won't change his mind. Where are you going to send him?"

Nangong Biluo: "A place that can protect him. By the way, what happened to Zhang Gu and the others?"

Qin Zhiyuan: "It was him who did it. After the prince was imprisoned, he became a lot more presumptuous. We can't touch him yet."

Nangong Biluo: "It's not that we can't move, it's that the emperor doesn't want to move. In the end, it's the royal face and his rule that matter. Maybe you're right, think about it in the long run."

"Hey, I just don't want to mess around, but what happened to Mr. Wang makes me regret it. We can think about it in the long run. I'm afraid that Prince Yue won't, and Wang Jin won't."

"Master Qin, you can't have any more accidents."

"You too."

Gao Tao Prison.

"Xuan Gang, Master Hou Ling."

In the dark cell, someone was talking in a low voice outside Xuan Gang's cell. Xuan Gang raised his head. It was an unknown jailer. He had been imprisoned here for a year, tortured every day, and passed away wave after wave of guards. , he was a little disappointed.

The jailer flicked a small piece of wood and left immediately. Xuan Gang caught it with his mouth, rolled his tongue in his mouth, and spit it out on the ground. Qin Zhiyuan and Nangong were written on the wood block, and there was another one that made Xuan Gang suddenly Get excited word.

kill!

"Kill Qin Zhiyuan, Nangong."

He started laughing out loud after whispering...
