    ?

    In the darkness, the man with clenched fists and a tense muscle on his forehead instantly calmed down.

    She knew he was there, so she protected everyone around her, but left herself to him.

    So, why does he care about Xiao Mu?

    Feeling inexplicably satisfied, the man chuckled: "Remember Qinger, this is your own request. So, in this life, I can only protect you!"

    Looking at the slender figure still standing in front of the window meditating again, the man finally left quietly

    On the second day, the imperial city was calm.

    But on the morning of the third day, as soon as Xiao Qingling opened her eyes, Xia Yu told her excitedly that the entire imperial city was boiling.

    In fact, before Grandma Ghost Shadow appeared, there had been several missing children in the imperial city, two of which were children from poor families, and the others were beggars.  At that time, people only thought that the child was taken away by wild dogs at night, but they did not pay attention.

    Suddenly, one stone stirred up thousands of waves, and the truth of the ghost mother-in-law was exposed in front of the public, only to suddenly discover that there were so many evils hidden in it.

    At the feet of the Son of Heaven, someone pretended to be a ghost to abduct children, and the government and the public were shocked.

    In a thunderous rage, Shen Haochen dismissed the posts of several members of the Ministry of Punishment, and ordered the six doors to solve the case within one month.  The six doors were so anxious that they almost fainted.

    Because of their outstanding performance in this case, Feng Qi and Xiao Mu were temporarily transferred to Six Doors to assist in solving the case.

    This is basically the establishment of a special case team, Feng Qi is nothing more than that, and Xiao Qingling is full of guilt for dragging Xiao Mu, a commoner, into such a matter.

    In the afternoon, Xiao Qingling reported to Princess Tianzheng, and borrowed the small kitchen of the princess mansion to cook a banquet for Xiao Mu himself to celebrate his achievements.

    When the last dish was put on the table, Xia Yu invited Xiao Mu and Rufeng back.

    But when he saw a table of dishes, some he had seen before and some he hadn't, Xiao Mu was stunned for a moment, and then the circles of his eyes turned red.

    Xiao Qingling stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve, not confident enough to say: "Xiao Mu! I'm sorry! From now on, I will cook for you every day!"

    Thinking about it, this is not quite right, she will marry Shen Mobai in another month, and she changed her words again: "When I become the mistress of Prince Zhi's residence, I will hire you as the dedicated doctor of Prince Zhi's residence, we two  Get back all the money from Prince Zhi's mansion!"

    The emotion in his heart disappeared, and Xiao Mu stretched out his hand and patted her on the head dumbfoundingly: "Don't talk nonsense, although Shen Mobai doesn't show up often, but I heard that Prince Zhi's house has very strict family rules"

    "I'm not talking nonsense!" Rolling his eyes, Xiao Qingling said: "You are the number one genius doctor of the Shengxuan dynasty, and Shen Mobai is a fool. Only fools need to take medicine to recuperate. I hired you as a dedicated doctor for his own good.  That's it for this matter!"

    Knowing that she is used to messing around, Xiao Mu didn't argue with her. He reached out and took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve pocket, handed them to her and said, "Take it! I earned it for you!"

    Seeing the bank note, Xiao Qingling's eyes lit up immediately, and she didn't notice the meaning of Xiao Mu's words.  After counting, it almost floats up.

    A total of five thousand taels of silver bills!  Five thousand taels!  That's 1.2 million yuan in cash!  Half of the silver that was swept away by Shui Sheng returned in a flash, isn't she dreaming?  By the way, why did Xiao Mu go there?  How can you become a local tyrant if you don't see him in a day?

    "Xiao Mu? Where did you get these banknotes? They couldn't be stolen, right?"

    Like the wind with a black thread, this little philistine woman with an eye for money can't be the same as the witty, intelligent and far-sighted Miss Xiao Wu from the night before yesterday. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would definitely think that this woman is a fake.

    "Miss Wu was joking. Mr. Xiao Mu helped the court solve such a big case. These are all rewards from the emperor."

    "Rewarded by the emperor?" Ahhhh!  There is still money to be made in solving the case. If I had known it was so beautiful, she should have gone together last night.

    As if suddenly remembering something, Xiao Qingling's mouth pouted again: "Isn't that Feng Qi also has a share? Feng Qi is a dishonest person, no matter what, he should give us a little bit, right? Even a thousand taels  , oh no, five hundred taels is also good!"

    This girl, it's all for counting his money. The two of them Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai, one was willing to fight the other, but, even Feng Qi's share was counted, isn't this girl too greedy?

    "Could it be that my allowance is too little to support Qingling?" Xiao Mu's expression was quite dissatisfied.

    "Hey! Enough is enough, I didn't say it's not enough, but the money doesn't burn your hands? The more the better!" Smiling obsequiously at Xiao Mu, Xiao Qingling quickly changed the subject: "Isn't the emperor the most fond of rewarding jewelry, antiques and silk?"  Are those flashy things like silk and satin?what?

    Just as she was admiring the pair of top-quality mutton fat jade bracelets, there was a bang on the counter, and when she looked up, she found a fairy-like beauty standing in the shop at some point.

    After seeing clearly what the little beauty threw on the counter, the shopkeeper felt a toothache, and blurted out: "We don't deserve this thing, Miss, go to another place!"

    "Another house?" Xiao Qingling sneered: "The shopkeeper doesn't recognize this thing? Then let me tell you. Seven days ago, there was a murder in the Temple of Earth in the east of the city. Is this old dagger"

    Another person continued: "It was pulled out from the belly of the deceased Diao Ergou!" The voice was as emotionless as a dead person.

    Following the reputation, the shopkeeper had another toothache.  Why is there a thin and small black-faced man next to the beauty?

    Although this person is ugly, he seems to be a little shorter than this beauty, but his eyes are like knives, just looking at him, the shopkeeper feels that he has turned into a dead person.

    "I, I know"

    "It seems that the manager of the public trial that day also heard about it, so have you heard about Mr. Xiao Mu?"

    "I've heard of it, I've heard of it!" The shopkeeper wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "That day was Mr. Xiao Mu's autopsy on Diao Ergou."

    "Very good!" Pinching the blood-stained old dagger with two slender white fingers, Xiao Qingling smacked her lips: "Then why did the shopkeeper accept Mr. Xiao Mu's other things, but not this dagger?"

    "Mr. Xiao Mu?" The shopkeeper pretended to be dead: "I have never seen Mr. Xiao Mu!"

    "Bastard!" Rufeng lined up on the counter with a slap: "You just accepted Mr. Xiao Mu's nine treasures an hour ago, do you want to deny it now?"

    Under the palm, a pawn ticket suddenly appeared.

    How could the shopkeeper know that the person who came to pawn today is the famous Mr. Xiao Mu?  Not to mention that he was also watching the public trial that day, even the nine treasures, he also knew that they were not ordinary things, they looked like they came out of the palace.

    In fact, when Mr. Xiao Mu came to the Beya Pawn Shop, the shopkeeper was very conflicted. The things in the palace were either stolen by the eunuchs and maids, or they were rewards from the emperor's ladies.  It is a royal gift.  Something like this will either make you rich overnight, or it will affect the whole family, and you may even lose your property and life.

    ?The so-called man-made money and dead birds feed and kill the brave and starve to death the timid. The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and was thinking about how to hack these things without offending Mr. Xiao Mu.  Unexpectedly, Mr. Xiao Mu was a dumbass, with a mouthful of five thousand taels of silver, which almost drove the shopkeeper crazy.

    The things brought by such a clean person, even if they are bestowed by the emperor, will have no future troubles, so he became greedy and directly issued a pawn ticket for death.

    With a glance at his eyes, he simply stopped pretending to be stupid and changed directly to cheating: "This lady? It doesn't matter who you are Mr. Xiao Mu's, this is clearly written in black and white, death is death, and the price is five thousand taels  , but Mr. Xiao Mu opened it himself."

    "What an eloquent tongue! That is to say, even if it is a gift from the emperor, it can be treated as well. Besides, it should be treated as death, right?"

    "Yes, yes!" The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly.

    "That's it!" The corners of her lips curved, Xiao Qingling laughed.

    The shopkeeper only felt his eyes light up, like a hundred flowers blooming, and he was still immersed in the ecstatic smile, then he heard the little beauty say again: "Like the wind!"

    "The subordinate is here!" The thin, black-faced man responded, and put his left hand on the counter. Before the shopkeeper knew what he was going to do, he had already taken the blood-stained old dagger from the little beauty's hand and chopped it off.

    Immediately, blood spattered, and four bloody fingers were left on the counter.

    "Ah!" The shopkeeper screamed, almost fainting from fright.

    He had thought that the other party would bully the weak and forcibly redeem the property, or even fight violently, but he never thought that the other party would self-mutilate.

    Before he could react, Xiao Qingling had already made a move like lightning, and quickly stuffed the blood-stained dagger into his hand, the shopkeeper was immediately stunned.

    "The shopkeeper is confident, because he thinks that the six doors are nearby, so we dare not forcefully redeem them?"

    Helping Rufeng, who was pale due to blood loss, to the chair and sat down, Xiao Qingling sneered and said: "If the officials from the six doors come in at this time, I will tell them that the shopkeeper wanted to molested me, but my brother stopped me.  The shopkeeper cut off his finger, tell me, will the officials believe it?"

    Finally came back to his senses, the shopkeeper's eyes suddenly widened: "Sorceress! Don't spit blood, his fingers are obviously"

    "Oh? Who saw it? You said he cut it himself, but he and I said you did it. Look, isn't the murder weapon in your hands right now? Besides, even if we confronted each other in court, it would be two to one between us.  win."

    The shopkeeper's aura suddenly dissipated: "You, what do you want?" (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com)Isn't the weapon in your hand?  Moreover, even if we confronted each other in court, we would win two to one.  "

    The shopkeeper's aura suddenly dissipated: "You, what do you want?" (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
