Prime Minister, he just refuses to usurp the throne

Unprepared, Xie Anshuang didn't hear the address that the visitor almost blurted out at first, and immediately looked in the direction in which the masked thief was fleeing after standing still, and he was completely gone.

"Unfortunately, he escaped."

Xie Anshuang sighed and turned to look at the person beside him.

The man was taller than him, about half a head taller, wearing a silver-white mask, and also dressed in night clothes.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked unceremoniously: "May I ask who you are?"

Xing Wenshu shrugged, and replied modestly: "It's just an ordinary passerby."

Xie Anshuang obviously wouldn't believe him: "Your Excellency is really ordinary enough to shoot down three throwing knives with just one silver needle."

Xing Wenshu blinked innocently: "Isn't this seeing the young master suffering and arousing his potential in a hurry?"

Xie Anshuang snorted noncommittally, and finally calmed down his tone: "If you saved me today, I owe you a favor, how do you want me to repay it?"

"Then I have to think about it."

Xing Wenshu pretended to be thinking, and after a while, he smiled and continued: "How about...a promise with your body?"

Xie Anshuang drew out a throwing knife, and said coldly, "I thought about it carefully, if I silence you, I don't need to return any favors."

"Are you sure you can beat me?" Xing Wenshu looked at him with a smile.

Xie Anshuang: "..."

He's really not sure.If it were him who used the silver needles instead, he could not guarantee that his internal strength would be accurate enough to shoot down all three at once.

Xu Shi saw his unconvinced, Xing Wenshu decided to add fuel to the flames, and took advantage of his unpreparedness to pat his head: "Kids shouldn't be beaten and killed all day long, they won't grow up tall."

Xie Anshuang: "..."

He gritted his back molars lightly, and waved away the hand on his head.

Before, he still felt that this person's figure was somewhat familiar, but now he was sure that this person was definitely not Xing Wenshu, and it was impossible for Xing Wenshu to be so underwhelmed.

Mr. Xing, who owed a beating, didn't seem to see his impatience, and continued: "Wandering around in the middle of the night, are you also here to track down the masked thief who has been making a lot of noise recently?"

Xie Anshuang caught the key word in his words: "'Also'?"

Xing Wenshu didn't hide it: "Recently, everyone in the capital has been uneasy because of the thief, so I waited for the thief near here today, and I happened to see you chasing the masked man here."

Xie Anshuang didn't know whether to believe it or not, and said in a strange voice: "Your Excellency is quite concerned about the people in the capital."

"I can't help it." Xing Wenshu spread his hands, "Today, he is a foolish king who doesn't do anything. We ordinary people can only choose to save ourselves."

Having said that, he looked at Xie Anshuang again: "The young master must think the same way, right?"

Xie Anshuang of Hunjun Benjun: "...Haha, what a coincidence, it is indeed."

Xing Wenshu didn't seem to realize that his tone was wrong, and suggested: "Meeting is fate, Zuo You has already been escaped by that thief tonight, and our purpose is the same, why don't we exchange information with each other?"

Xie Anshuang ignored him, and squatted down to pick up the three dropped throwing knives.

The throwing knife on the far left was smashed into a small groove, and under the moonlight, it could be vaguely seen that there seemed to be some thick liquid gathering.

Xie Anshuang stretched out a finger and wiped it on the flying knife, and the fingertips were immediately soaked with a thin transparent thick substance.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and quickly came to a conclusion: "Qian Xiao Du."

"Qianxiao Poison?" Xing Wenshu frowned slightly, apparently he had never heard of this poison before.

Xie Anshuang explained: "It is a rare and highly poisonous poison. One drop can poison a person, and a few more drops can cause sudden death on the spot. But if it can be extracted to a certain concentration and applied on the surface of an object, it can cause the poison to develop within three days. died."

Xing Wenshu was startled: "Then you..."

"This poison is useless to me." Xie Anshuang interrupted what he hadn't finished speaking, took out a bag and packed the three throwing knives safely, feeling much heavier.

Qianxiao Poison is a kind of secret medicine in the royal family, it is kept by a special person, only the emperor has the authority to use it, and it is usually only used to give death row prisoners or certain courtiers.

Now besides him, the one who has the right to use Qianxiao Poison is the Empress Dowager Yuangui.

Xie Anshuang put away the flying knife with his mind on his mind, and took two steps forward without realizing it, but was caught by Xing Wenshu when he was about to step on the air.

"Be careful." Xing Wenshu pulled his arm and pulled him back: "Why are you so preoccupied? It's not easy to fall from here."

Xie Anshuang pursed his lower lip, and withdrew his hand: "It has nothing to do with you."

Xing Wenshu patted his head again with a smile: "Don't be so indifferent at such a young age, you really won't grow tall."

Xie Anshuang: "...Get lost."

He really wanted to know why this man in front of him was so obsessed with his age and height.

Xing Wenshu couldn't help chuckling, and Xie Anshuang gave him another cold glance before he restrained himself: "Meeting here also shows that we have the same purpose, and we really don't consider forming an alliance? Maybe there will be a chance if multiple people investigate together." More clues."

"No need." Xie Anshuang resolutely refused, as if he was going to leave directly.

But before he jumped off the roof, Xing Wenshu said leisurely: "That's a pity, I also want to share with you the important clues I found tonight."

Xie Anshuang's movements were slightly sluggish, but Xing Wenshu still just looked at him with a smile.

He weighed the pros and cons in his heart, and asked cautiously, "Why should I trust you?"

Xing Wenshu shrugged: "I say mine, you listen to yours, and you won't lose anything if you listen to it anyway."

Xie Anshuang still had doubts: "We just met for the first time, why did you help me so far?"

"Young master is wrong to say that." Xing Wenshu smiled gently, "I am not helping you alone, young master, but the people of the capital."

Xie Anshuang looked at him silently.

Xing Wenshu continued to explain: "I'm just an ordinary citizen, with no power or power, and no reliable partners. People in the capital's yamen don't do anything. Even if I have clues, it's not very useful."

"However, I think the material of the clothes on the young master is extraordinary, and he must be a person of status. It is more efficient to hand over the clues to you than to go around by myself."

Xie Anshuang didn't say a word, but evaluated the credibility of his words in his heart, and chose to compromise after a while: "Then I will believe you once."

"My honor." Xing Wenshu smiled, "Then let's talk in another place? This place has a wide view, and it will be bad if the thief takes advantage of our unpreparedness and kills us later."

This time Xie Anshuang didn't refute him, and after nodding, he followed him all the way into a forest on guard.

On the way, Xing Wenshu showed the greatest sincerity, and even exposed his back to Xie Anshuang defenselessly.

After a while, the two arrived at a clearing in the woods together.

Xie Anshuang looked around and confirmed that there was no ambush around, and he did not completely let go of his vigilance.

Xing Wenshu paid attention to his excessive defensive performance from the bottom of his heart, and there was nothing unusual on his face. He picked up a branch and drew a simple schematic diagram in the light of the moonlight.

Xie Anshuang looked at the traces left by the branches, and roughly recognized that this was a schematic diagram of the entire capital, and the southeast of the capital was drawn slightly larger.

At the same time, Xing Wenshu circled seven small circles in the southeast, and explained: "These seven places are the two civilians and three officials who died at the beginning, and the family of the big man who was not captured by the thieves before. And where the thief originally wanted to go tonight."

Xie Anshuang followed his explanations one by one, and basically matched the position in his impression.

Then Xing Wenshu marked the seven circles with serial numbers, and asked: "This is the order in which the thief committed crimes in turn. I think the young master here should also be able to see some clues."

Xie Anshuang frowned slightly, looked carefully at the sequence, and suddenly found that the range of crimes committed by the thief also started from the southeast corner of the southeast, and gradually went up to the northwest, almost all surrounded by a line.

The mansion of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, which the thief originally wanted to go tonight, happened to be at one end of this line.

Xing Wenshu continued to extend this line: "So if the thief continues to move forward in this direction, the last place he will arrive at—"

"...It's the Xing Mansion." Xie Anshuang took up the topic with his lips pursed even tighter.

Xing Wenshu glanced at him, and circled the middle part of the diagram with branches: "It's the palace."

The author has something to say:

Xie An double os: There are always people who want to harm the lonely prime minister

Xing Wenshu os: There are always people who want to harm their little majesty

(Two people who are never on the same train of thought means)
