I played as an assistant in ancient times

Chapter 313 Finally

"I advise you to go back first. The scholar just now was not injured and he may have entered the venue by now.

The most important thing is to pick him up from the examination room in three days. You can't guarantee that someone will commit another crime, right? It's more important to report the case to Shuntianfu or Dongcheng Bingmasi." Several soldiers didn't want to stay here any longer. After giving the reminder, they turned around and left, with no intention of waiting here.

In short, the matter of tracking down and arresting the murderer will be the responsibility of Shuntian Prefecture or Bingmasi in the future, and has nothing to do with these soldiers who were transferred from Tongzhou Guard to patrol the examination hall.

Wang Chi got angry when he saw this, “Aren’t you supposed to protect the safety inside and outside the examination room?

The evildoer is right in front of us, and we don't even ask him about it, so how can we protect him?

They don't look like soldiers at all, and they are far from the brave soldiers of our Taozhou Guard." Although the Wang family is from Weizhou, military households have to be transferred to other places, especially after the emperor changed the border troops to a rotation system, not to mention that Wang's father has a military position that can be inherited and can be transferred at any time.

Several soldiers stopped when they heard this. "Young Master is also from a guard post? I wonder which famous family he is from?"

Wang Chi was about to introduce himself but was stopped by Shen Xiaoye. His two servants also hurriedly stood on both sides of him, signaling him not to speak again.

She said: "My cousin is just very jealous of evil and wants to catch the bad guys. You are the upper guards. There is no guard in the world with a higher status than the twenty-two upper guards.

Thank you for your guidance. We will go back and find Bingmasi now."

Shen Xiaoye wanted to wait and catch the man, but his family was still waiting for him, and it would be best not to involve Wang Chi in this matter.

Unless a general of the frontier army is a duke, marquis or earl, he is not respected in the capital.

It is very common for the Shangzhi Qinwei to do things selectively when facing others. In layman's terms, it depends on the person's behavior.

So she thought about it for a moment and asked Little Black Cat to watch over her for her own safety before leaving, and she also had to write back to her family.

Seeing that she understood what was going on, the soldiers turned around and walked out of the alley.

However, when Shen Xiaoye was determined to leave, Lu Guan came running over from the other end of his horse and asked, "Are there any traces of the murderer?"

He and Shicun intercepted people from different directions, but it was obviously ineffective.

Shen Xiaoye pointed to the armor factory and said, "Go inside."

"Let me take a look." Lu Guan did not act rashly. He threw the horse to them and walked quickly towards the gate.

Shen Xiaoye saw that the soldiers had already turned around the alley and disappeared. He smiled and said to Wang Chi in a genial tone, "Don't bother with them."

"Humph, if this happened in the border areas, they would have been beaten with military sticks long ago." Wang Chi knew in his heart that he had to keep a low profile in the capital.

"Wait for me for a moment. If you see Shicun, ask him to go back and report his safety first." Shen Xiaoye patted his shoulder and chased after Lu Guan.

The little black cat breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, he didn't have to go through it alone. The armory had gunpowder that he was familiar with. That thing was too dangerous. He transmitted his voice: "Shen Xiaoye, that man was too fast at that time, but I still scratched the back of his hand."

"Well done." Without seeing the other person's face clearly, she was in a passive position. She quickened her pace and came to the gate. Although Lu Guan was stopped, the guard was still quite polite to him.

He called out and approached Lu Guan again, but was not driven away. However, the guards did not let them in no matter how polite they were, and said, "At this moment, Eunuch Xiao from the Imperial Household Department is inspecting the utensils needed in the palace, and the seal holder and the supervisor are accompanying him."

"That moment ago, a young man wearing a gray robe and a Confucian scarf, about five feet two or three feet tall, came in?" Shen Xiaoye gave a rough description.

The guard looked at Lu Guan, who said, "We are looking for this person for something important."

Another guard nearby said, "There are quite a few young men who are 5 feet 23 inches tall. Three of them went in a quarter of an hour ago, but none of them wore a gray robe or a scholar's cap.

That scarf has always been used by scholars, and no one except the craftsmen can wear it when entering and leaving this place."

Lu Guan asked, "Who are the three people?"

"This..." Several guards hesitated for a moment, but after Lu Guan stuffed the first piece of silver into their hands, they said it without hesitation.

Shen Xiaoye secretly memorized the name and address, and prepared to ask Xiao Xuanmao to wait while he went to check.

The two of them did not stay for long. After saying goodbye and leaving, they handed the important task to Little Black Cat. This guy did not even tell her that he took off his outer clothes after committing the crime.

Cat: After all, I am the one who bears all the consequences. It’s its fault that I can’t distinguish colors during the day.

……

A thrilling accident made the already nervous Shen family members even more solemn.

Shen Xiaoye reported the case and sent everyone back home to find someone to investigate the three people. When her aunt held her hand, she said, "Don't be stubborn, the other party has bad intentions.

You don’t know that when I was sewing Sui Ge’er’s sleeves, he took out a small piece of writing from his body, which might have been done by the accomplices of the evildoer.”

Vicious! If cheat sheets were found during the body search, not only would my uncle’s reputation be damaged, he might also be suspended from taking the exam by the academic administration.

Ruining someone's future is like killing their parents. Did the other party hate my fourth uncle? No, maybe he hated more than just my uncle.

"Aunt, you worry about the family, I'll take care of the outside affairs." Shen Xiaoye shook her hand and patted it, "Brother Fu is not affected, right?"

"No, your great grandmother held her tightly. Xiaoye, I thought about it. If our family had ever offended anyone who wanted to destroy Sui Ge'er so much, it was only him who brought the Guard Bureau into the Li family." Not only Huang made such a speculation, but the mother-in-law in the carriage just now also thought so.

But at this moment, the youngest son started crying beside his aunt, and the two elders went to comfort the child.

As for the two gentlemen, after seeing Shen Changsui enter the venue safely, they did not interfere and had already returned to their own residences.

"Did someone from the Li family work as a craftsman in the armory? Or a eunuch?" Shen Xiaoye heard that among the three people mentioned by the guards, one was a eunuch.

Huang nodded: "There's nothing strange about it. There are too many people in a big family, and it's hard to tell who will choose what to do."

"I'll go find Lu Guan." He has already asked someone to investigate, so Shen Xiaoye naturally has to follow up.

Huang said sternly, "Xiaoye, be careful not to be alone with him in the future.

I'll let Gengge'er go with you to find him. You're fourteen this year."

Shen Xiaoye was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously asked, "My uncle wants to marry me off?"

"Are you ashamed?" Huang rubbed her head and pushed her out of the main hall.

Not long after, Shen Xiaoye and his sister reunited with Lu Guan. How could they make rapid progress in just half a day? She was not disappointed: "We have to go find Little Black Cat, and Brother Shicun who came later. We can't let him guard all the time."

But when they came to the armory again, they found that Xiao Xuanmao and Shicun were not there.

Shen Cungeng said in a deep voice: "Were we ambushed by the other party?"

"Don't think too highly of the other party." When Shen Xiaoye tried to find more clues left by the cat, the murderer was listening to a lecture with his head down in a large courtyard outside the Wenming Gate.

"It's useless. After the first attack missed, Shen Changsui was definitely on guard.

Take these and leave Beijing for Xifan as soon as possible." A man in green threw a pass and silver to him.

The assailant was obviously unwilling, and he said: "I am a disguised person, they don't know that I go in and out with another craftsman's sign, so they can't find mine.

Besides, the Grand Commander still needs my disguise skills."

"Shut up!" The man in blue drew his sword and put it on his shoulder.
