Thrown Into the Wolf’s Den! Zaizai Holds Space In His Hands To Survive the Disaster Year

Another half month later, Xie Mingan came back after a long journey.

and found out the truth.

In the Jinluan Palace, he took the initiative to tell the details of the so-called locust cannibalism case.

It turned out that it was not locusts eating people at all, but someone smearing flour on a recently deceased body.

The locusts clung to it and ate the flour, making people passing by think that the locusts had eaten people.

The emperor frowned slightly when he heard this, and the civil and military ministers sighed.

"Frequent natural disasters have made everyone panic. It turns out that such a simple thing has caused panic among the people." The emperor shook his head.

Xie Mingan's eyes were serious and he cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I personally believe that the most important thing is not whether the locusts eat people is true or not, but that I was assassinated three times on my way to Shuzhou this time."

The ministers were shocked and looked at each other.

Even the prince Mo Lingwei, who was sitting next to the emperor, couldn't help but frown.

He looked Xie Ming'an up and down, but fortunately he was safe.

Otherwise, Shen Ningning might be worried about her disdain for this second brother.

The emperor's voice was solemn: "Have you caught the assassin? But what did you find during the interrogation?"

Xie Mingan shook his head with some regret: "Before leaving, my sister gave me three venomous snakes to carry with me to keep me safe. So when the incident happened, in addition to the accompanying guards fighting with the assassins, the three snakes also The assassin is injured."

"There were seven assassins in total, and they all died from snake poison."

Xie Mingan felt it was a pity. It would be fine if he could leave one alive for his interrogation.

It's a pity that he can't communicate with the snakes his sister gave him.

When Xie Mingan was assassinated three times, they all swam out of his sleeves excitedly.

At some point, he quietly climbed onto the assassin's body.

Often the assassin was concentrating on the fight, and when he came to his senses, there was a poisonous snake on his shoulder, hissing out a message.

The venomous snakes would not let go, and the three venomous snakes cooperated with each other, some biting the neck, some biting the ankles, and some simply stabbed their fangs into the assassin's abdomen.

Therefore, none of the assassins were spared.

Xie Mingan brought all the assassins' bodies back.

The emperor's eyes were sharp: "They were lucky enough to die, but what did they find on their bodies?"

Xie Mingan still shook his head.

"The assassin was clean and had nothing else on him. He should have come prepared."

The emperor looked grim.

Until Xie Mingan said: "However, it is not completely without clues."

The emperor suddenly raised his head: "Oh? Tell me."

"I used to be a widower, so I wanted to conduct an autopsy to find out their identity. I picked off their skins and cut their bones and flesh, and found that the positions of the leg bones and hand bones were bent to varying degrees. This means that they held swords all year round and kept doing it. Run around.”

"Coupled with the thick calluses on the soles of each of their feet, combined with their skills, I guess they may be specially trained secret guards. The bones of these people's left hands are severely curved, which proves that they are good at using their left hands with swords."

"I therefore deduce that the identity of the person who instigated them to assassinate me is not simple. To train such a group of secret guards, it will definitely cost a lot. However, because these people died completely, I can only find out so many at present. .”

The emperor's expression was cold, and he clapped his hands on the table: "Okay! You are brave, resourceful, observant, and capable. You have also done what I asked you to do very well. I should reward you!"

It happened that the previous minister of Dali Temple was about to retire and return to his hometown.

With a wave of his hand, the emperor wrote an edict and immediately promoted Xie Mingan to the third rank of Dali Temple Minister.

"You are a genius in handling cases. I appreciate your talent. As for those assassins, they may have personal vendettas. Please be careful and pay attention to everything. If you find anything strange, please report it to me."

Xie Mingan handed over his hand and accepted the order to thank him.

From the first court to the next, Mo Lingwei always seemed absent-minded.

The emperor was about to leave, but he was still sitting in his seat, his eyebrows slightly twisted, and his thin eyes were floating in the sea.

"Ling Wei, what's wrong?" The emperor patted his son's shoulder.

Mo Lingwei came back to his senses: "It's nothing."

He took the people away, and after returning to Zichen Palace, Mo Lingwei looked up and saw a plum blossom sword hanging on the wall.

This was given to him by the King of Shu on his seventh birthday. He regarded it as a treasure and hung it on the wall for collection.

However……

But Mo Lingwei remembered that there were a group of dead soldiers around the King of Shu, and it was his left hand who wielded the sword.

The assassins Xie Mingan mentioned were also good at using their left hands.

Could it be a coincidence?

…

The Xie family is happy and happy.

The housekeeper was waiting in the kitchen to prepare delicacies, and was waiting for the second son Xie Ming'an to wash his hands.

At this moment, Xie Mingxu, Xie Ming'an and Xu Jingxi were all crowded in Shen Ningning's boudoir.

Everyone watched as Xie Mingan took out the three poisonous snakes from his sleeves.

Xu Jingxi was surprised: "You really don't bite your second brother?"

Xie Mingan was a little proud, and glanced at Xie Mingxu with his thin eyes: "My sister specially asked them to protect me, and of course they won't hurt me."

Xie Mingxu pursed his thin lips and said calmly: "I was training the courage of the soldiers in the army, and my sister lent me three tigers."

Xie Mingan:......

As soon as the poisonous snakes saw Shen Ningning, they hissed and swam towards the little girl.

Shen Ningning smiled with a pink and playful face.

"Dabao, you have lost weight! Second treasure, I heard that you are doing very well this time. Third treasure, wake up and go home and sleep again!"

The little girl's white and tender hands were playing with three highly venomous black snakes.

The brothers felt frightened no matter how they looked at it.

Until Shen Ningning put them into her sleeves.

"Okay, their mission has been successfully completed, Brother Stinky. Fortunately, you brought Dabao and them with you. Otherwise, you would have been stabbed to death by the assassin!"

Xie Mingan raised his eyebrows and smiled softly: "I will go to the street to buy roast chicken later and treat them well."

Talking about the assassin this time, Xie Mingxu felt lingering fear for his younger brother.

"It's strange to say that you never make enemies with others. Why would someone secretly assassinate you when you go to Shuzhou this time?"

Xie Mingan's eyes darkened, obviously thinking of who wanted to assassinate him.

However, he showed his face and smiled at his eldest brother: "I enforce the law impartially and impartially in Dali Temple. I have made enemies of many families for a long time."

Shen Ningning blinked her big black eyes.

She could guess that it must be Concubine Qi or the King of Shu.

No matter who it is, Shen Ningning will not let them hurt her family!

After a while, Xie Suzhi also returned home.

Together with Mr. Xie and Xu Jingxi, the family of six gathered around the round table and ate happily.

During this period, they talked about finding a tailor to make Shen Ningning's clothes for next season.

When the little girl heard this, she shook her head like a rattle.

"I don't want dad and brother to find someone to make it for me. The skirt they made last time, Changyi and the others said it looked like the clothes in the military camp!"

Several men from the Xie family looked at each other, their equally handsome eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

They are all men, and there is only a little girl Shen Ningning in the family. How can they look good at the specific clothes?

Xie Suzhi refused to give up his responsibilities as an old father.

"Since Ning Ning doesn't like it, let's copy the drawings from the palace. When they make you the princess's dress every year, can we take a look at the drawings?"

Shen Ningning still shook her head.

"The palace has its own rules. I want to make some outfits that I can wear on a daily basis."

It's a pity that none of the men in the Xie family chose a pattern that the little girl liked.

The one Xie Mingxu chose looked like a military uniform, the material Xie Mingan chose was dark and dark, and the style Xu Jingxi chose was too plain.

Not to mention Mr. Xie, as soon as he saw the skirts, he thought they all looked the same.

Finally, Shen Ningning blinked her big eyes: "Can I ask Aunt Qingdai to help me with the clothes?"
