Chapter 119 Nangong Xue’s aunt also likes Xue Mu? (First update, please vote for me)

Cao Peizheng seemed to know that this time the Chief Inspector was going to get serious.

He also knew that although Nangong Xue was from Qianhu, she had a special status and he did not dare to contradict her at will.

So he finally smiled and said: "That's true. After all, you adults have already worked very hard to investigate the case, and I have no reason to cause trouble to you, right?"

After saying that, he looked at the servant behind him and said, "Aguang, go and ask the young master to get up and come to the front hall."

The servant Aguang was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes."

Then, he immediately walked to the backyard.

As for the other people who were already waiting in the front hall, Xue Mu said: "Were you all at the house three nights ago?"

At this time, everyone, you look at me and I look at you.

One of the women asked: "Was the night three days ago the night before the Lantern Festival?"

"Exactly." Xue Mu nodded.

The woman replied: "If it is the night before the Lantern Festival, then of course we are all at the house."

"Yes, our lady only went out on the night of the Lantern Festival, and stayed at the house the rest of the time." At this time, another woman with a slightly younger voice responded.

Nangong Xue asked Cao Peizheng at this time: "Where is Mr. Cao?"

Cao Peizheng explained at this time: "Master Nangong, you also know that I am already in the middle of the year. After having a light meal in the evening, I went to bed early."

He then looked at his family members behind him and said together: "Our family has strict rules and basically won't let them go out at night. I can be sure that everyone in our house was at home that night."

After hearing this, Xue Mu responded: "Since Mr. Cao said so, we naturally believe it. Now we will just wait for Mr. Ling to arrive and we will just make a brief inquiry."

Hearing these words, Cao Peizheng also nodded and sighed: "I heard that there is a drought in other areas, and a large number of refugees have come from outside the capital. Could it be that some people have sneaked into the city?"

As he said that, he looked at the people in the mansion behind him and said: "You guys must be careful when you go out and travel in groups. The capital is not peaceful now."

After hearing this, Nangong Xue knew that Cao Pei was making insinuations, so he responded: "Don't worry, Mr. Cao, we, the people of the Divine Catcher Division, will be responsible for the peace in the capital."

"That's natural, and we naturally believe in you, the Chief Inspector. After all, His Majesty has high hopes for you, the Chief Inspector." Cao Peizheng praised with a smile.

Listening to these words, Nangong Xue also tightened her grip on the sword in her hand.

Not long after, Xue Mu heard the sound of footsteps.

The servant Aguang led a disheveled young man to the front hall.

"Sir, let's hurry up."

"I know, why bother?"

It could be heard that the young man seemed very impatient.

At this time, Zheng Jun and others who had just left also came back.

He came behind Xue Mu and whispered: "I just heard a woman's cry from Cao De's room."

"Yeah." Xue Mu nodded.

Not long after, A Guang brought Cao De to the front hall.

A Guang looked at Cao Peizheng and said, "Master, the young master is here."

Cao Peizheng looked at Cao De, frowned and said, "Get dressed quickly."

"Dad, I'm sleeping, what are I doing?" Cao De tied his belt impatiently.

At this time, Cao Pei was looking at Xue Mu and others, and deliberately lectured: "The Chief of Police is coming to handle the case and will ask us some questions. Do you want to cooperate? Otherwise, who will protect the peace of the capital?!"

When Cao De heard these words, the corner of his mouth twitched subconsciously.

But he was still speechless and said: "What do you have to ask? We are all from official families, and committing crimes and committing crimes cannot happen to us."

At this time, Xue Mu took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "I guess this is Mr. Cao Decao, right?"

Cao De glanced at Xue Mu, looked up and down, and asked: "Exactly, who are you?"

"Xue Mu, I am a member of the 100th Household of the Divine Catcher Division. Due to a recent case in the capital, I am going door to door to inquire and investigate. I would like to ask, where were you and what did you do three nights ago?"

When Cao De heard this, a trace of panic seemed to flash in his eyes.

He paused for a second and then answered: "I'm in the house, I haven't gone anywhere?! I've been in poor health recently."

At this time, the servant Aguang also added: "Sir, my young master has not been in good health these days, so he has been practicing in his room."

"So that's it." Xue Mu then shifted the question to A Guang: "What about you?"

"Where did you go three nights ago? What did you do there?"

When Guang heard this, he began to falter.

Obviously, his tone of voice began to weaken.

He smiled and said: "We servants usually play boxing with other people in the room in the backyard."

Zheng Jun listened and wanted to tell the voice he just heard in the backyard.

But Cao Peizheng reminded: "Sir, we should finish asking questions here, right?"

Xue Mu nodded, cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Cao, we have finished asking. Thank you very much for your cooperation, Mr. Cao. We will leave first."

With that said, Nangong Xue took everyone away.

After everyone in the Cao family saw that the people from the Shenqiu Division had left, one of the women asked Cao Peizheng: "Dad, why do I see that the people from the Shenqiu Division don't look like they are searching from house to house.

After hearing this, Cao Peizheng looked at the guilty Cao De and said, "Did you do something?!"

Cao De immediately shook his head: "Dad, I didn't! I'm at home these days!"

As he said that, he looked at a woman again: "Mom, please bear witness for me. I have been at home these days."

Mrs. Cao also nodded. She looked at Cao Peizheng and said, "Master, De'er is indeed at home these days and has not been out."

"From today on, everyone is not allowed to go out. The capital has been uneasy recently, so be careful." Cao Peizheng said and left.

Soon, everyone in the Cao family dispersed.

Only Cao De and A Guang were left in the front hall.

Aguang was now sweating on his forehead, and he looked a little dazed.

Cao De looked at him, patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, no one knows."

Aguang could only nod awkwardly: "Sir, is it true that no one knows about this?"

"No one knows, don't worry." Cao De said confidently: "By the way, tonight you send the newly recruited Xiao Cui into my room."

"Sir, you've only had two sex today, why do you want more?" Guang was a little helpless: "If this happens too often, if the madam and the master find out, the villain's head will be at risk!"

"I said you are so scared!" Cao De complained: "Then what else would I do all day? Anyway, prepare candles and whips, and ask Xiaocui to wait for me in the room."

With that said, he held his waist and walked back swaggeringly.

On the other side, Xue Mu and others left Cao Mansion.

Chen Baiming immediately said: "Sir, there is a problem in the Cao Mansion."

"Um."

In fact, although Xue Mu couldn't see it, based on the above, he had already guessed most of the problems.

But he still asked Nangong Xue first: "Master Nangong, what should we do next?"

Nangong Xue did not give an opinion, but asked: "What do you think?"

"You can start with that servant A Guang." Xue Mu replied.

Nangong Xue also agreed: "That servant must know about it. Find someone to follow him and see where he goes. Don't alert others for the time being."

"yes."

Just like that, Xue Mu asked Zheng Jun to take people to control the surrounding areas.

As soon as you notice Guang's appearance, follow him immediately to see where he goes in the next few days.

Nangong Xue seemed to have something to do, so she separated from everyone at a street intersection.

Xue Mu relied on his memory and found that he was not far from publication.

So he came to Zhou Qingshan's publisher to see how "The Romance of the West Chamber" was selling.

Sure enough, when Zhou Qingshan saw Xue Mu, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Agui! You are finally here!"

Zhou Qingshan quickly asked: "Does your lady have any new stories?"

Xue Mu explained: "She is writing, but it takes some time."

"Okay, let's not be in a hurry." Zhou Qingshan took out a money bag from the cabinet at this time, which was filled with silver coins: "These are the profits from selling "The Romance of the West Chamber", you count them."
