Chapter 64



Although he was scolding him, the governor only said one sentence to him with a sullen face: "Keep an eye on Mu Nanjin."

Next, the governor's body's air pressure dropped to the lowest point, and the cold and terrifying aura made Captain Liu almost unable to breathe. He stayed in there for a cup of tea before being released.

Captain Liu has been a Jinyiwei for so many years, but this is the first time that he has been alone with the governor for such a long time. He really doesn't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.

After leaving the Governor's Office, Captain Liu found out that Mu Nanjin had washed all of the Governor's underwear, and fearing that others might not know, he hung them in the most conspicuous place in the Governor's Office. Anyone who came in to report something could see the Governor's underwear.

Captain Liu found Mu Nanjin, holding his chest.

Mu Nanjin glanced at his hand on his chest and asked, "Are you sick?"

"I'm not sick." Captain Liu was so angry at her that his chest hurt.

He took a breath and said, "Mu Nanjin, can you do something more serious?"

Mu Nanjin frowned and looked at him: "Are you saying that the tasks you assigned to me before were not serious?"

Captain Liu gritted his teeth and said, "I'm talking about washing the governor's underwear."

Which unmarried girl would wash the underwear of a man she doesn't know? Mu Nanjin asked him, "How is washing underwear not proper? Isn't it also improper for your wife to wash your underwear every day?"

"That's different. My wife and I are husband and wife. It's only natural for her to wash my underwear. You..."

"Captain Liu."

Suddenly someone interrupted Captain Liu. He turned around and saw that it was Tang Jingrui. He frowned and said, "Captain Tang."

Tang Jingrui said, "Captain Liu, come here. I have something to tell you. Mu Nanjin, Lord Kan wants to see you. Go to his writing room and find him."

"oh."

Mu Nanjin left.

Captain Liu walked up to Tang Jingrui and said, "Captain Tang, why don't you let me finish what I'm saying before letting her leave?"

Tang Jingrui exhaled: "I know what you want to say to her. She is ignorant because my uncle and aunt neglected to teach her. My uncle is a man and he is away from home all year round. There are not many things he can teach her. My aunt... Well, let's not talk about this. I will find a nanny to teach her."

He had heard about what happened this morning, and he thought that Mu Nanjin's lack of understanding of matters between men and women was entirely his uncle and aunt's fault.

Captain Liu probably knew the situation of his family, so he didn't say anything more: "She is not young anymore, you have to teach her as early as possible, otherwise she will not be able to get married."

"Um."

Tang Jingrui immediately asked someone to find a nanny who could teach him etiquette.

Mu Nanjin came to Kan Chaoyan's office. Besides Kan Chaoyan, there was a middle-aged man in black tights with the word "door" embroidered on his right chest. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, and his expression was more serious than the statues in the temple. His brows were furrowed and he looked worried, as if he had encountered a difficult problem.

Kan Chaoyan introduced to Mu Nanjin: "Mu girl, this one is the head of the Six Gates."

The gate supervisor was mainly responsible for commanding all the yamen runners and constables in the six gates, and was responsible for tasks such as arresting, detaining, collecting grain, escorting, investigating cases and capturing criminals.

Mu Nanjin clasped his fists and saluted: "Greetings, Gatekeeper."

The gatekeeper nodded and looked at Mu Nanjin.

Mu Nanjin, however, was in a trance.

[Although the Gate Supervisor has the same position as our U-Governor and is a few years older than our U-Governor, he is not as handsome as our U-Governor, nor does he have a better figure than our U-Governor, nor does he have a more majestic aura than our U-Governor.]

Gatekeeper: “…”

Is he so worse than the governor?

"Cough cough cough." Kan Chaoyan was choked by his own saliva.

Mu Nanjin looked at him.

Kan Chaoyan quickly took a sip of water and said, "Mu girl, there have been more than a dozen murders in the capital recently. The Six Gates are short of manpower and need to borrow people from our Jinyiwei. I decided to send you and other Jinyiwei to help with the case."

In fact, given Mu Nanjin's rank, the order should have been given by her leader, Captain Liu.

But Mendu had never listened to Mu Nanjin's thoughts, so he could only ask Mu Nanjin to come over to help Mendu adapt.

Who would have thought that Mu Nanjin would be so disrespectful, and from the moment he arrived he felt that the gate supervisor was inferior to the governor in every way.

Mu Nanjin: "Oh."

[I am only a ninth-rank Jinyiwei, a weak little girl, and I have never handled a case before. I don't like to use my brain. How can I help? Should I be responsible for carrying the corpse? Aren't you afraid that I will faint on the spot after seeing the corpse and embarrass the Jinyiwei? ]

Kan Chaoyan: “…”

hehe.

A weak girl? How dare she say that? You can just try to trick the gatekeeper.

【Ah, I see.】

[Comrade Lao Kan actually didn't want to help the Six Gates. He wanted to embarrass the Six Gates, so he deliberately asked a useless person like me to help.]

Gatekeeper: “…”

In fact, he heard that Mu Nanjin knew many things that others didn't know, so he came to ask for the person in person.

Kan Chaoyan held his forehead with his hand and said, "Mu Nanjin, go call Captain Liu over. I have something else to tell him."

"Oh." Mu Nanjin left.

The gatekeeper smiled and said, "This little girl is quite interesting."

"Just hope that Lord Gate Commander doesn't blame her for what she just said in her heart." Kan Chaoyan breathed a sigh of relief: "It is not convenient for me to say more about her affairs. I can only send someone who knows her best to go with her to help. With Captain Liu here, she is at least not so... difficult to control."

"She is just a little girl, how can she turn the world upside down?"

Mendu did not take Kan Chaoyan's words to heart.

Kan Chaoyan didn't explain much.

He believed that only Mendu who had experienced it personally would know how powerless he was in front of Mu Nanjin, and knew that no matter how high an official's position was, he could not use his power in front of her, and no matter how powerful a person was, he would be useless in front of her.

Not long after, Captain Liu arrived.

Kan Chaoyan told Captain Liu about the matter of the doorman borrowing people.

"Borrowing Mu Nanjin..." Captain Liu had the urge to refuse: "Can I decide her affairs?"

Mendu nodded: "You decide for yourself about your people."

Captain Liu asked again: "Among the officials of the Six Gates, are there any handsome men who are both officials and have official seals?"

"There are several handsome young men in the yamen." The gatekeeper was puzzled: "Why are you asking this?"

"We'll take them with us when we start investigating the case." Captain Liu didn't explain much: "When will we start investigating the case?"

"I'm going to go back and arrange what you just mentioned, and warn the people in the yamen to keep their mouths shut. Tomorrow morning, you bring Mu Nanjin to the Six Gates to find me."

The fact that one could hear Mu Nanjin's inner voice was truly incredible. Although everyone already knew about this, people who had never heard her inner voice would still find it very surprising, and might even respond to what she said in her heart if they were not used to it.

Captain Liu nodded.

Early the next morning, he waited for Mu Nanjin to come out at the gate of the Mu Mansion, and then took her to the Six Gates.

The people at Liushenmen had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw Captain Liu coming to Liushenmen with a little girl, everyone was very excited.

They had heard about Mu Nanjin a long time ago, but had never met her. They were really curious whether they could really hear Mu Nanjin's inner voice.

Captain Liu dismounted from his horse and said to Mu Nanjin, "We're here."

Mu Nanjin asked: "Just the two of us?"

"Of course not. Let's meet the people from the Six Gates first, and then wait for the other Jinyiwei to come."

In order to avoid arousing Mu Nanjin's suspicion, Captain Liu not only arranged three captains to investigate the case with them, but also sought help from ten ninth-rank Jinyiwei.

"oh."

The officials from the Six Gates came out quickly to greet them.

"Master Liu, you are finally here. We have been waiting for you here for a long time."

The fourth-rank yamen chief came to the door with other yamen officials, smiling, to welcome Captain Liu and his party.

Mu Nanjin turned around and looked at their faces.

"No trouble, no trouble, please come in." Lord Yang made a gesture of invitation.

[Wow, there are so many handsome guys in Liushenmen. ]

Everyone paused for a moment, and in order to prevent Mu Nanjin from noticing anything, they continued to move forward.

[Does the Six Gates recruit people based on appearance? Although the Six Gates' chief is not as handsome as our chief, he has good taste.]

“…”

The officials almost laughed out loud without trying to contain their faces.

Captain Liu's eyes twitched.

He asked the supervisor to find a few handsome officials to handle the case, but he did not say that these officials were more handsome than the prostitutes in the brothels.

[Having these handsome officials accompany me in handling cases makes me feel happy all day long. When will our Jinyiwei get such treatment? ]

[Why don’t I change jobs? I applied for a job at Liushenmen. ]

Captain Liu turned around and glared at her: "Why don't you catch up quickly."

Lord Yang asked in a fake tone, "Lord Liu, is this the only female official in our court?"

Captain Liu said unhappily: "Who else could it be except her?"

"What a pretty little girl."

[Wow, the people from the Six Gates are even sweeter than the Jinyiwei. The people from the Jinyiwei have never praised my good looks.]

Captain Liu: “…”

Lord Yang smiled and coughed lightly: "The study room in front is where the gate supervisor works. I won't accompany you in. I will wait for you outside."

[Hey, you handsome guys aren't going in? Then I won't go in either. ]

Mu Nanjin also stopped.

Captain Liu didn't want to bother with her and walked into the doorman's study.

The gatekeeper in the room naturally heard what Mu Nanjin had just said. He walked up to Captain Liu and asked in a low voice, "You want me to find a handsome man to handle the case just for her?"

"Just wait and see." Captain Liu was worried that Mu Nanjin would hear it, so he didn't explain to him further.

Mendu nodded: "I will take you to the place where the crime happened now."

"good."

When the Gate Supervisor and Captain Liu walked out of the Six Gates, they met the Jinyiwei who came from the Duwei Mansion and they were taken away together.

[They are outclassed, outclassed, the handsome men from the Six Gates have outclassed all of us Jinyiwei. ]

[Captain Liu, you should at least bring two good-looking people with you, so you don't end up being so embarrassed.]

Captain Liu really wanted to kick her off her horse.

He turned to the gate supervisor and said, "Master Gate Supervisor, I heard that the officials of your six gates prefer to marry smart girls instead of virtuous ones. Is this true?"

Mu Nanjin immediately pricked up his ears.

The gatekeeper was slightly stunned. Although he didn't know why Captain Liu said this, he still answered him: "People outside think that we can handle cases so quickly, not only because we have strong case handling ability, but also because we have talented wives at home to help us. Therefore, everyone thinks that we like to marry smart girls. In fact, we like both virtuous and talented wives."

【Talented Wife...】

[I will show myself well later and let the people from the Six Gates see how smart I am.]

[Although I can't marry someone from the Six Gates, having a bunch of handsome guys looking at me with admiration makes me happy.]

Everyone: “…”

The gate supervisor probably understood Captain Liu's intention of finding a handsome man to work with him on the case.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the gate of a house. A piece of white cloth was hung on the door, indicating that the family inside was holding a funeral. There were also many sad cries coming from the house.

The gatekeeper said, “We are here.”

Captain Liu dismounted and asked, "Where is this..."

"Editor Du's house."

"That……"

"The person who died was Du Bianxiu."

The gatekeeper ordered someone to go into the house to inform them, and then asked Captain Liu, "Are you afraid of seeing the corpse, Miss Mu?"

Captain Liu replied firmly: "Not afraid."

[I am afraid, I am afraid, Captain Liu, why don’t you tell me that I am afraid? ]

[Oh, my delicate image has been ruined by Captain Liu. No boy will like me anymore.]

[Well, if Captain Liu says I'm afraid, I won't be able to follow them in investigating the case and perform well.]

Everyone: “…”

Not long after, a young man in mourning clothes followed the official from the Six Gates Yamen and ran to the door.

Seeing so many officials at the door, the young man quickly wiped his tears and greeted them respectfully, "Greetings, gentlemen."

The door supervisor asked: "We are here to investigate a case. I wonder if we will disturb you."

"No, no, please help my father find the murderer."

The young master of the Du family invited them in.

There were many mourners in the yard, and when they saw the soldiers coming in, they were so scared that they hid in the corner.

The young master of the Du family quickly explained the situation to them.

Du Bianxiu's wife ran out crying and knelt in front of the governor, "Sir, you must help my husband find the person who killed him."

The doorman said: "We are already trying to find the murderer. Please help me, Madam, and hope that you can delay the burial for a few days."

Mrs. Du cried sadly: "As long as we find the murderer, we are willing to do anything you ask us to do."

The Du family's son made a gesture of invitation towards the main hall: "My father is lying in the room."

The gate supervisor and Captain Liu entered the main hall, first burned incense for Du Bianxiu, and then went forward to check his health.

[Du Bianxiu is dead. No wonder I haven't seen anything about him recently.]

[That's not right. I didn't see him die, or did I miss it? ]

[I'll take a look at Du Bianxiu's body first, and then see what's going on.]

Mu Nanjin walked to the front of the coffin and saw Du Bianxiu lying inside. His skin was tightly attached to his bones, like a skinny dried corpse.

[Mummy?]

[How could it be a mummy? ]

[From the looks of it, the other party not only sucked away Du Bianxiu's blood, but also his essence and spirit. ]

[Tsk, it's obvious that this isn't something a human could do.]

[No wonder the Six Gates have been unable to find the murderer. The other party is not a human, so how can we find him? ]

Everyone: “…”

How could it be possible that it was not done by humans?

An official in charge of the case sneered and deliberately asked Mu Nanjin: "Little girl, I see you are watching so seriously, it seems like you can tell who did it."
