Raise a wolf cub to be a minister

573 Chapter 572, murder

After speaking, he couldn't wait to reach out and take the box in Gu Xiuran's hand and opened it. The gold was wrapped in emerald green, especially the pattern of the antlers on the eyes, which was so delicate that Nan Jin fell in love with it just by looking at it.

The next moment, Nan Jin took it out and put it on Gu Xiuran's face.

Nan Jin felt that this was not enough to cover her, so she dropped the box in her hand, held the mask with both hands, pulled the button on the inside of the mask, and put it on Gu Xiuran's face.

The moment she put her hand down, Nan Jin had an urge to uncover it. The half-covered mask was really itchy to see.

"You are not allowed to wear this mask when you go out. You can only wear it for me at home." Originally, this mask was made to cover Gu Xiuran's face when going out, but now Nan Jin just wants to hide at home.

"Okay." Gu Xiuran responded to what Nan Jin said.

Looking at Gu Xiuran's half-covered face, Nan Jin pursed her lips, feeling a little dry.

After hesitating for a moment, and then thinking that she might not be able to see her for several days, Nan Jin's courage rose instantly.

She raised her hand and tugged on Gu Xiuran's skirt and kissed it directly, sucking Gu Xiuran's lips.

Gu Xiuran, who had been enduring all this time, finally reacted passively at this moment, raised his hands to pinch Nan Jin's waist and the back of his head, and kissed her back fiercely.

When she was free, Nan Jin buried herself in Gu Xiuran's arms, she was the one who spoke first, she...

Gu Xiuran loved the princess's reaction so much, he held her tightly in his arms, kissed her ear, "I'll send the princess back."

"No." Nan Jin retorted subconsciously.

"Just send it outside the general's mansion, not into the general's mansion."

This time Nan Jin didn't speak.

"Does the Princess want to hold or carry?"

Nan Jin didn't answer right away, and after a moment of silence, she hummed in Gu Xiuran's arms, "Back."

Hearing this, Gu Xiuran immediately let go of Nan Jin, and then squatted down facing the person.

Seeing that Gu Xiuran turned her back, Nan Jin was no longer shy, and lay on Gu Xiuran's back with her arms around her neck, and the next moment she flew into the air.

Nan Jin couldn't help clasping Gu Xiuran's neck tightly. She liked him the most.

"Gu Xiuran, you look good wearing a mask, I want to hide you." Nan Jin leaned into Gu Xiuran's ear and spoke her thoughts.

Gu Xiuran bent the corner of his mouth with a smile, but he answered, "Okay."

Then he opened the door and walked into the dark night.

……

After the palace banquet, everyone knew about the marriage between Nan Jin and Gu Xiuran.

At the very beginning, the words circulated were a match made in heaven between a man and a woman, but the words were changed soon, and it became a song that had been secretly handed down and received.

At the beginning, it was spread in a small area, and then it became bigger and bigger through the spread of caring people, and it spread throughout the entire capital city.

Of course, no one would be so stupid as to say it in front of the Lord.

But it doesn't prevent Nan Jin from knowing.

Today is the day when Nan Jin reports to the Imperial Army.

It's all excuses for being too busy, she just wants to find an official position to make it easier for her to move around.

What made her more happy was that the emperor directly assigned her to the Imperial Army, so that she would not have to find excuses to inquire about the Imperial Army, and just use her identity to do things.

"Do you know about the marriage between Princess Nanyang and General Gu?"

"I know, who doesn't know?"

"What do you think about this Nanyang Princess? The Ninth Prince doesn't want it. He wants General Gu. Although General Gu is a general, he can't compare to the prince."

"You can't say that, the Ninth Prince doesn't want Nanyang Princess either?"

"So do you think the rumors are true? Is it because the Ninth Prince noticed that Nanyang Princess and General Gu had secretly exchanged the song for a long time, so she was not wanted?"

"The princess of Nanyang is a woman. She has been in the barracks for five years, and it's all men's place..."

Nan Jin had just heard this gossip when she arrived at the Forbidden Army's office. She didn't know when she and Gu Xiuran secretly exchanged money, and the Ninth Prince didn't want her, and she didn't want Zhao Yuanzhe, okay?
Besides, isn't she a marriage offer?Didn't her parents agree?Why did she and Gu Xiuran secretly communicate with each other?

"Are the imperial guards so idle?"

I thought so, but Nan Jin didn't get angry, and there was nothing to get angry at. It was something that she had foreseen a long time ago. Since she dared to go to the military camp five years ago, she thought about bearing these rumors, which would bring Gu Xiuran into trouble.

Fortunately, it was him, that's why she said not to marry. No man can stand such remarks, and she doesn't want to be wronged, but Gu Xiuran won't.

They were talking about important people, but when they heard someone talking, the two of them were startled, and when they saw Nan Jin for the first time, they immediately fell to their knees.

"Princess Nanyang, please spare me, Princess Nanyang, please forgive me." The two of them kowtowed desperately, how comfortable they were gossiping just now, and how hard they kowtowed now.

Nan Jin won't get angry, but she won't stop anything either. After all, they did talk about her, didn't they?

"Where are you in command?"

"Go back to the princess, the commander has gone out, a murder case happened on South Street, the son of a fourth-rank official was slaughtered in the street." Xu Shi made a mistake, and he really knows everything at this moment.

"How long have you been away?" The son of a fourth-rank official was killed in the street, which is really not a small matter.

"Not long ago, about half an hour."

"Lead the way ahead."

"Yes, princess." The two guards rushed out after hearing the words.

……

On the other side of the South Street, Nan Jin saw the imperial army's team and the crowd of onlookers from a distance.

The two imperial guards who almost knocked their heads were very discerning. Seeing the crowd blocking their way, they immediately rushed forward.

"Give way, let everything go, Nanyang County hosts the case, let everything go."

"Let's all go, let's go."

The two imperial guards still remembered that Nan Jin was their upcoming deputy commander.

As soon as the crowd heard this, they dispersed immediately. After all, the officials are not easy to mess with, and they are still the princess of Nanyang.

After a while, Nan Jin walked from the middle of the road where the crowd made way to the place surrounded by the imperial army.

I saw a dead body lying on the street, with a dagger stuck in its chest, and the expression of fear before death was still maintained on its face.

It stands to reason that people from the Jingzhao Mansion or the Ministry of Criminal Justice should come to this murder case, but whoever said that he was killed on the street in broad daylight, this means that the Imperial Army is not good at maintaining law and order, and must be dragged into the water.

And when this kind of official family has an accident, it is usually the people from the Ministry of Punishment. Didn’t you see someone from the Ministry of Punishment standing in the middle?
"Commander Lu, why was this man killed on the street in broad daylight? You must give this old man an explanation."

The reprimand was an old man. Nan Jin glanced at it twice, it looked familiar.
