Madam let me die

"Another new discovery?"

Seeing the man frowning tightly, Meng Xiaotu asked softly.

The girl nibbled on the candied haws that the man bought for her on the road, her beautiful and moist lips turned bright red under the stain of sugar juice, she looked like she wanted to be kissed.

Li Nanke closed the dossier, pondered for a while, then called the yamen official and asked, "I want to check a person's household registration. He is from the capital city. Can I check it here?"

The yamen official frowned and said, "It is possible to check, but it will take a long time."

"how long?"

"At least six or seven days."

"No other way?"

"My lord, this is a yamen, and we need more rules and procedures. If it is a shadow guard, it doesn't need too many procedures."

The yamen official explained with a wry smile.

shadow guard...

Li Nanke was taken aback for a moment, annoyed that he had forgotten this.

After thanking the officials, Li Nanke took Meng Xiaotu to the foot of Phoenix Mountain and found Nie Ying.

I thought the woman was busy with business, but when we met, I was surprised to find that the other party was leisurely fishing in front of a small lake not far from Phoenix Mountain.

At a young age, he already has the fun of a retired uncle.

"The stele hasn't recovered yet, why did you come here?"

Yujie, who was usually as cold as ice, glanced at Moe Ono who was next to the man, and teased, "Or are you going to come here with your little lover to play and relax?"

"You are the little lover."

Meng Xiaotu's pretty face flushed, and she distanced herself from the man with some guilt.

The crescent-shaped lake is like a piece of beautiful jade inlaid on the ground, and the water in the lake is rippling and crystal clear.When the sun shines, golden scales flicker.

I have to say that this is indeed a good place for fishing.

Compared with the capable long skirt in the past, Nie Ying is now wearing a looser light blue skirt, but it still does not conceal the graceful ups and downs of her figure.

Under the skirt, a pair of snow-covered feet with delicate ankle bones are also bare, the round insteps reveal a faint green veins, and the toes are as round as jade.

After the coldness of the past has faded away, she looks like a dignified young woman who lives in seclusion.

"Why are you fishing all of a sudden?"

Li Nanke didn't see the fish basket and bait beside the woman, so he guessed that the other party must have acted on a whim.

But the woman replied: "Almost every month I catch fish once or twice. This is one of the few hobbies I have besides torturing prisoners."

The words "torturing the prisoner" came out calmly from the woman's red lips.

It seems to be just saying a rare and ordinary thing.

Only then did Li Nanke realize that the woman is the devil among the shadow guards, and the blood on her hands could probably stain this lake red, so she shouldn't be fooled by the virtuous appearance in front of her.

"But you didn't even bring a fish basket." Meng Xiaotu was puzzled.

Nie Ying just smiled and didn't respond.

Li Nanke coughed, looked at the calm lake and said, "I came here on a special trip to find you, and I want you to do me a favor by checking a person's household registration."

"Check the household registration? Why don't you go to the Yamen?"

"Too slow."

"You do know how to do it conveniently."

Nie Ying sarcastically sarcastically, her hand holding the fishing rod remained motionless.

After a pause for a few seconds, the woman asked, "Who are you planning to investigate? If it's a hermit or something, don't look for me. I don't have time to troubleshoot for you."

"this person."

Li Nanke took out the written note and handed it over.Suddenly it occurred to her that the woman was fishing, so she stepped forward two steps to the woman's side and handed it to her.

Because of the close distance, and the fact that the man is standing, looking down, one can clearly see the light blue satin apron and the smear of jade from the slightly opened skirt of the woman. White.

"Investigate what she does?"

After seeing the name on the note, Nie Ying raised her eyebrows in surprise,
Li Nanke came back to his senses, quickly moved his eyes away, and said with a smile: "Some inside information about Phoenix Mountain, I will tell you after I investigate clearly."

Nie Ying bit her lower lip with her white teeth, and didn't respond immediately.

At this time, the floating end on the lake suddenly sank, and Meng Xiaotu, who had been staring closely, screamed, "Quick, quick, the fish has taken the bait."

Nie Ying exerted force on her wrist, and the fishing rod suddenly bent like a bow.

Before the girl could see clearly, there was a plump fish under her feet, and the silver fish scales shimmered and swayed constantly under the sunlight.

When the fish was struggling, its tail swept the muddy water on the ground and splashed some on Meng Xiaotu's legs.

The girl took a few steps back.

But she took a closer look and said in surprise, "Why is there no hook in the mouth?"

Nie Ying pulled up the fishing line, only then did the girl realize that the hook was straight, she couldn't help but widen her almond eyes, "How did you catch it? This is also possible?"

"There will always be fools willing to take the bait."

Nie Ying smiled faintly, grabbed the plump fish that was struggling on the ground, made a mark, threw it into the water again under the puzzled eyes of the two, and cast out the fishing line again to catch.

Meng Xiaotu felt puzzled, "Why did you let him go again?"

"I don't like fish." Nie Ying said.

"Uh……"

The girl choked, and didn't know how to respond for a while.

Nie Ying stared at the ripples in the lake with her cold eyes, and said, "Actually, it's to free life and wash away the blood on my body. There are too many people who died in their hands, and the longer it takes, the more disturbed I feel. "

"It's quite superstitious." Meng Xiaotu whispered.

Nie Ying said: "Everyone is superstitious, but in different ways."

Li Nanke said softly: "But those people were not killed by you, you are just a knife, obeying the orders of the master."

"But the blood was on the knife, right?"

Nie Ying smiled.

Before Li Nanke could speak, the woman said, "I'll try to check it for you first, but I may not be able to find it. After all, the identity is quite special."

"Thank you, Nie Qianhu."

Li Nanke smiled, cupped his fists and saluted.

"Just a "thank you"?" The pretty face wearing half a mask raised up, the corners of her lips curled into an arc that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and the woman's tone was dissatisfied.

Li Nanke let out an "uh" and said sternly, "I can massage. If Mr. Leng needs it, I can give you a few massages for free."

As soon as the words fell, the soft flesh around his waist was twisted half a circle by a small jade white hand.

Meng Xiaotu's eyes were unkind, with jealousy.

It seems to be saying... why don't you press it for me?

"Forget it."

Nie Ying twitched her red lips, and said calmly, "There is something that may require your help, but it's hard to say right now. I'll come to you when I'm done."

"I seem to have a bad feeling."

Li Nanke whispered.

Whoa!
The woman's wrist flicked suddenly, and a fish was hooked again, and was thrown to the shore by the woman.

"Eh? Is that the fish just now?"

Seeing the mark on the fish, Meng Xiaotu was quite surprised, and stepped forward to confirm it.

Li Nanke observed carefully, and it was indeed the one just now.

Sure enough, a stupid fish will always be stupid.

Nie Ying grabbed the struggling fish, just when the two thought she would continue to release the life, the woman squeezed the fish until it was bloody.

Seeing the fish gradually disappearing, Meng Xiaotu felt an inexplicable chill running down her spine, but she was more curious, "Why didn't you release the fish again?"

"Life is only once, if you don't cherish it yourself, don't try to make others be kind every time."

Nie Ying's pleasant voice was as cold as frost.

"Makes sense."

Li Nanke nodded.

…………

After parting with Nie Ying, Li Nanke felt that he had nothing else to do, so he planned to take Meng Xiaotu to her house to help clear the pipeline.

But after thinking about it, I decided to let the other party rest for two more days.

Dali may not necessarily produce miracles, but it will definitely swell.

Taking advantage of his spare time, Li Nanke wandered around the place where fireworks and firecrackers were sold, and went to investigate many famous scenic spots in Yuncheng.

When I got home, it was dusk, and Yu Hongye was still in the kitchen.

"Do you need my help today?"

Li Nanke leaned against the door of the kitchen to ask, and found that the woman was frying fish, and laughed at himself a little funny: "Today is destined for fish."

"No, I can handle it today."

The coquettish woman in an apron turned her head and smiled.

"what is that?"

The man caught a glimpse of a somewhat dark blood clot on the chopping board, and felt a little familiar.

Yu Hongye said: "Wolf heart."

At this point, Li Nanke remembered that his wife had cooked a dish for him before, which had the heart of a wolf and the lungs of a dog.

But honestly, an unpalatable batch.

"Forget it, it's not tasty." Li Nanke was inexplicably nauseated.

Yu Hongye blinked and smiled charmingly, "Don't worry, little man, my family's cooking must be very delicious. Don't say it's a wolf's heart, even a human heart will be delicious."

"It sounds like you have eaten people's hearts." Li Nanke sneered, thinking that the other party was bragging.

Yu Hongye stopped joking and started cooking with peace of mind.

It's just that the floating light in his eyes seems to have dug out the memories of the past.

In a trance, her memory went back to that year.

She was locked in the coffin, relying on that small, bloody heart to survive.

It was also because of that little heart that her life changed completely.

"tasty."

The corners of the woman's mouth were pursed with a charming but extremely cold arc, talking to herself.
