The night was cold, and the government office did not have a warm jade bed like Zhuiying Palace. Oliver slept until midnight when he was woken up by the cold, and he huddled under the quilt again.
"Chirp!" Furball squatted beside his pillow, his little black bean eyes sparkling.
Oliver reached out and rubbed it, only to find that Asher had gone out at some point, and even the quilt was cold.
Maoqiu lay on the pillow, turned his head and looked at Oliver seriously - cover him up quickly.
Oliver found it funny. He pulled a piece of bed sheet to cover its furry body, then got out of bed with his clothes on, wanting to go out and see if Asher was in the yard.
As soon as the door of the room was opened, a cold wind blew in my face, and I couldn't help but sneeze.
"Sir." Hearing the noise, the secret guard jumped down from the roof, "Is something wrong?"
"What time is it?" Oliver wrapped his outer robe tightly.
"It's almost midnight." The secret guard said, "It's still early. Master, please go sleep for a while. The palace master may not be able to come back until dawn."
"Where did he go?" Oliver asked.
"Just now, news came from the secret line that something strange had been discovered in the city." The secret guard said, "So the palace master took people to check."
"Is it the corpse of a dead person?" Oliver guessed.
"Eight out of ten | nine out of ten." The secret guard nodded, "Master, please go back to the house quickly. Be careful of getting cold if you stay any longer. If anything happens, I will report it as soon as possible."
"Thank you." Oliver smiled gratefully at him and turned back to the room.
Maoqiu was already fast asleep, his little body was rising and falling, and he could barely open his mouth to drool.
Oliver was not sleepy at all. He leaned on the bedside and took out a book. He finally waited until dawn, but Asher still didn't come back.
The secret guard had already bought soup dumplings and vermicelli soup, and called Miles to come over for breakfast. Maoqiu generously gave him a bag of beef jerky as usual, very generous and chivalrous. Oliver was absent-minded, and put down his chopsticks after eating two bites, intending to go out to the front yard to take a look, but he happened to bump into Ivy coming in, dragging a white-haired, green-faced man in his hand.
Oliver was stunned for a moment, and his first reaction was to turn around and look among the secret guards.
"Don't be ridiculous!" The fake from a few days ago raised his hand happily.
"Burial bones?" Miles stood up quickly and almost brought the bowl with him.
"I don't know if it's Sangbai or Sanggu, but he's been caught at least." Ivy threw the tied-up man to the secret guards. "He's been poisoned and can't talk for the time being. Take him to the prison first."
"Where is Palace Master Qin?" Miles was overjoyed.
Ivy shook his head, "I don't know."
"I don't know?!" Oliver was stunned, "You didn't go out together?"
"No." Ivy said, "I led people to guard the South City Gate last night. When it was getting close to dawn, I saw a group of t!ts rising into the sky in the distance, so I led people to chase after him, and I happened to catch him by mistake. "
Oliver was a little confused, and Miles was also puzzled, "But Palace Master Qin also heard the news last night that the bones of mourning appeared in the city, so he took people out to check it out overnight, and he hasn't come back yet."
Ivy frowned, "Then I really don't know."
Oliver turned to look at the secret guards. The secret guards collectively raised their hands to express their innocence, "The palace master did say that he got the news about Sang Baigu." So where did he go? We really didn't lie, okay? The rhythm of this kind of affair is really bad. If this is the case, then everyone must find an opportunity to overthrow the palace master, and then let the young palace master take the throne and let the wife secretly take power. It sounds very intriguing, and the future is so noble and glamorous that it is simply unacceptable. Great!
"I'll go out and have a look again," Ivy said, "Young master, there's no need to worry."
"What's the hurry?" As soon as he finished speaking, Asher came in from outside the hospital, with some dew on his shoulders and a pack of Xuji mung bean cakes in his hand.
"Where have you gone?" Oliver breathed a sigh of relief.
"Catch the dead bones." Asher put the snacks on the table. "When I passed by, the snacks were just out of the oven, so I bought a pack for you."
The secret guard looked at his own palace master with sympathy. It was such an excuse at this time. Sang Baigu should have been in prison long ago! What did he do in the middle of the night? It is the right thing to do as soon as possible. Of course, no matter what happens, we will stand on the side of the lady. This is the legendary brainless fan. You can feel it for yourself.
"Cough." Ivy was also coughing, with an innocent expression.
"I'll go to the prison and take a look." Miles ran quickly. It was better to stay away from such family matters.
For a moment, the yard was silent, with only the sound of Maoqiu jumping and kicking Pearl.
"What happened?" Asher was puzzled.
"Palace Master." Ivy chose his words carefully, "The dead are buried in prison."
"I know." Asher nodded, "I sent someone to lock him up."
The secret guard silently lit the wax for his palace master, but at the same time he couldn't help but admire this level of wit. There was no hesitation at all, and the transition was so natural!
Ivy:...
"Palace Master!" A secret guard ran in from outside the courtyard, "That's amazing, two of them."
"What two?" Asher asked.
"In prison." The secret guard was panting as he ran, "Two dead bones, exactly the same."
After these words were spoken, everyone at the scene was stunned.
"Both of them don't like me!" The impostor raised his hand consciously again.
"Wait a minute." Ivy reacted first, "The palace master caught the mourning bones?"
"What else?" Asher frowned, "I've been talking for a long time, but you didn't hear a word I said?"
"The Left Protector also captured one this morning!" The secret guards also came back to their senses and asked excitedly, "So now Sangbai and Sanggu are both in jail?!"
"Where did you catch it?" Asher asked Ivy.
"Outside the south gate of the city." Ivy said, "Hiding in the woods sneakily, I knocked him out with poison."
"I caught another one in Sweeping Willow Alley in the north of the city." Asher said with a smile, "I had no clue in the past few days, but now it's better, I caught them all at once."
"Palace Master Qin," a yamen runner said at the gate, "the two newly captured white-headed, green-faced monsters are quarreling in the prison, and Lord Wen is worried that they will cause trouble."
"I'll go take a look." Ivy walked out, and the secret guard followed him out. Suddenly, Asher and Oliver were the only ones left in the courtyard.
"What are you laughing at?" Asher pinched his cheek.
"Nothing." Oliver shook his head, "It's just a coincidence."
"No wonder everyone looked at me like that just now." Asher hugged him into his arms, "Why did you think I went out in the middle of the night?"
"Of course, it's to catch the bad guys." Shen Xiaoshou was very serious.
"Seriously?" Asher said in his ear, "Don't you doubt me?"
"Of course not." Oliver helped him adjust his clothes, "I believe you."
"I'd rather see you jealous and anxious." Asher chuckled.
"Bad taste." Oliver distorted his face, "Let's go to the prison to see the dead bones."
Since the people of Yunlan City are simple and honest, there are very few people detained in prison for a long time. Even the prison warden is a middle-aged man in his fifties. He couldn't stand the scolding of Sang Baigu and the other man, so he came out early and squatted at the door.
"Where is Mr. Wen?" Oliver asked.
"Inside." The cell leader said, "But I didn't interrogate him. I just sat in the corner and listened, and no one else was allowed to disturb me."
Oliver was confused and went to prison with Asher.
The dungeon was in disrepair and the steps were slippery and mossy. Oliver took two steps and slipped one step at a time. If Asher hadn't been by his side, he would have fallen countless times.
The secret guards saw this from below and were all impressed by how soft my lady’s waist was and how graceful her walking posture was!
"Palace Master." Ivy greeted him.
"What's going on?" Asher asked, listening to the faint roar coming from deep in the prison.
"The one the Palace Master caught should be my younger brother Sanggu." Ivy said, "Sangbai was poisoned by me, so he can't speak much now. It's basically Sanggu who is roaring alone."
"Lord Wen is alone in there?" Oliver asked.
"Yes." Ivy nodded, "I asked for paper and pen, but no one else is allowed to disturb me."
"Let's go." Asher led Oliver to continue walking inside, "Let's go take a look."
After turning two corners, the cursing became clearer. Miles was sitting in front of a dim oil lamp with paper and pen on a small table. He was writing quickly while listening.
Seeing the two of them coming in, Miles made a silence gesture, and then continued writing notes. Asher curled his lips. This is a good idea. There is no need to interrogate him. The person inside has already told everything about it.
Since Sanggu believed that Sangbai had been bribed by Zhuiying Palace a long time ago, his anger was still unabated. He was roaring and accusing others. To sum it up, he was saying that Sangbai was worse than a beast and could kill his own brother. Now he was bribed by Zhuiying Palace and gave out secrets. He was simply shameless!
"How is it now?" After Sanggu was tired of scolding, he took a sip of water, panting, "I was caught, and you were used up, but you were still thrown into jail. What good ending can there be?" After saying that, he felt unsatisfied, so he laughed wildly towards the sky and despised Sangbai again.
At the same time, Sang Bai was gasping for air next door. In fact, he had already left Yunlan City, but he accidentally heard that Zhuiying Palace had captured Sang Gu. In order to save his life, Sang Gu did not hesitate to give up a big The secret is now regarded as a guest by Asher. That's why I couldn't help but come back to find out. Unexpectedly, I was so unlucky that I was caught by Ivy before I even entered the city. In fact, if he were to fight head-on, Ivy might not be his opponent, but the key point is who wants to fight alone! If there are many people, it's natural to go together. Those who come from Zhuiying Palace never know the moral principles of the world, okay? So under the attack of a group of secret guards and three bottles of poison, Sangbai was unexpectedly tied to the government office.
If he still had doubts before, after listening to Sanggu roaring for half an hour next door, no matter how stupid Sangbai was, he should have understood that he had been tricked by Asher. But he didn't know about his brother next door! Sanggu saw that Sangbai had not said a word, and there was a wall between them so he couldn't see, so he just thought that he was guilty and had nothing to say, so he scolded him more fiercely. Listening to him talking about the past one by one, Sangbai collapsed next door and gasped, wishing he could rush over and strangle him by the neck with his own hands. He was so stupid that he should have sunk to the bottom of the river with the pleasure boat. It was a pity that he miscalculated and let him survive.
"Let's go, let's go out and wait." The dungeon was very humid, and Asher didn't want Oliver to stay there too long.
"I didn't hear enough." Shen Xiao suffered from many things.
Asher laughed, "Don't worry, what Lord Wen wrote down will be more detailed than what you heard."
"That's right." Miles nodded despite his busy schedule, writing as fast as he could, "Young master, just go out, I promise you won't miss a word."
He really has the potential to be a gossip reporter!
