Nangong Li returned to the mansion, and immediately called his confidant guard over to ask him about the progress of the investigation.
The confidant guard looked puzzled: "General, there are too many places to check. It's only been a day... Even if we go to the Ministry of Household to check the household registration, it will take several days, right?"
This is the truth, investigating a person's information is not so simple.
Although the domestic household registration and the foreign household registration are recorded separately, the problem is that there are also many foreign household registrations, and the Ministry of Household will not really give them the foreign household registration for investigation.
In fact, people who have seen the juju competition will not think that the name Xiao Liulang is unfamiliar, but the circle is like a mountain, and Nangong Li doesn't pay attention to the juju. Xiao Liulang, a freshman in Zhao Kingdom with Jusai style.
It's not that Nangong Li is not sympathetic to the difficulties of his subordinates, but he also has his own difficulties.
The prince did not even tell the Han family about the assassination of Xiao Liulang, and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility. As a result, he smashed it in the Zhao State Office, and let people run under the eyes of the monarch.
If the monarch finds out about this, they will all be fucked up!
Nangong Li frowned and said, "I don't care what method you use, be sure to find Xiao Liulang for me within three days!"
The confidant guards are suffering, let alone three days, even thirty days may not be possible.
With so many people in Shengdu, finding a Xiao Liulang is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
The confidant guard sighed: "It would be nice if the Ministry of Household had our people."
The Minister of Hu is from the Wang family, and has never had much interaction with the Nangong family. The Wang family is a true century-old prosperous family.
If Concubine Wang Xian hadn't been able to give birth to a son, who would have sat on the throne at the beginning.
It is also difficult to sneak into the Ministry of Household to check the household registration. There are experts in the Nangong family, and there are also in the Wang family.
Nangong Li frowned: "If you have time to talk nonsense, don't hurry to find someone!"
"Yes!"
The confidant guard hurriedly withdrew.
Nangong Li closed his eyes.
He must find Xiao Liulang as soon as possible and kill him!
The prince has already disappointed him once, and he can't be disappointed again!
Before Nangong Li returned to the house to rest, he inexplicably thought of his youngest son who was injured. He hadn't gone to see him for two days.
He thought for a while, then turned around and went to Nangong Lin's yard.
Nangong Lin didn't know his father was coming, so he was lying on the side of the bed without any image, shaking his legs while listening leisurely to the servant boy about the juju competition: "Are you sure? Tianqiong Academy lost?"
The little servant smiled and said, "I'm sure! Young master, I went to see it in person, oh, it's a miserable loss!"
Nangong Lin patted his thigh with schadenfreude: "A group of things beyond their own power, don't even look at who opened the Canaan Academy! That's the Academy of the National Teacher's Hall!"
The little servant flattered: "What the young master said is very true!"
Nangong Lin picked a grape from the tray held by the hands of the maid who was kneeling beside the bed, threw it into his mouth and said, "By the way, what's wrong with that Xiao Liulang?"
The servant said, "He didn't go."
Nangong Lin frowned: "What do you mean?"
The servant explained: "I didn't mean to go. On that day, even Muchuan, who had just recovered from his injury, played on the field, but Xiao Liulang didn't show up from the beginning to the end. The little boy asked later, and it seemed that... Xiao Liulang was ill. He's too sick to come to the game."
Nangong Lin smiled happily: "Deserved! Xiao Liulang also has today!"
"It's not... sir!" Halfway through the little servant's words, he suddenly saw Nangong Li standing at the door, his face turned pale with fright, and Fu went down.
"Father!" Nangong Lin quickly put away his bad manners, sat up properly, and waved his hand to the maid next to him calmly.
The maid put away the fruit bowl, stood up, and bowed to Nangong: "Master."
Nangong Li thought of his son's cynical appearance just now, and his heart was full of anger, but in the end he gave him face in front of the servants: "You all step back."
"Yes." The servant and the maid walked out hastily, and the servant did not forget to close the door for the two of them.
Nangong Lin asked, "Father, why are you here so late?"
Nangong glanced at him coldly: "You are recovering at home, so you don't go to the academy. Is this how you are recovering?"
"I..." Nangong Lin rubbed his sleeves guiltily, "I'll stretch... my muscles and bones."
It's not the most irritating thing to catch a kid and make a mistake, it's just that he still refuses to admit it.
Nangong Li really wanted to slap him, he raised his slap, and Nangong Lin was so frightened that he covered his head with his hands.
Seeing the scar on his wrist, Nangong Li suppressed his anger and lowered his hand: "Go back to the academy for me tomorrow!"
"Oh." Nangong Lin replied unwillingly.
Nangong shouted fiercely, "What's your attitude!"
Nangong Lin shivered with fright, and said hastily, "Go! I'll go! I'll definitely go!"
Nangong Li asked: "I just heard you mention a name, Xiao Liulang, who is this person?"
"Oh, he, a native of the country." Nangonglin never explained the truth of his injury to his family from beginning to end. First, his father did not allow him to cheat with kicking, and secondly, cheating was fine, and he dropped himself, embarrassing himself.
Therefore, everyone in the family thought it was just an accident, and did not deliberately inquire about any batter on the field.
Nangong Li's eyes narrowed slightly: "Which one is going to the country?"
Nangong Lin thought for a while: "It seems to be... Zhao Guo or Zhao Guo? I don't remember."
Nangong Li slowly clenched his fists: "New here?"
Nangong Lin nodded: "Yes."
"Which academy?" Nangong Li asked.
Nangong Lin said: "Heavenly Vault Academy, it was they who made it to the last game, and they were brutally abused by Canaan Academy."
Tianqiong Academy, Xiao Liulang, a native of the country.
Oh, it's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!
Xiao Liulang, your time of death has come!
…
Gu Jiao returned to the house.
It was very late, and Nan Shi Niang was waiting for her to do embroidery in the main room. Nan Shi Niang was not only poor in cooking, she was also stupid enough to do acupuncture, but she was now a mother. Learn everything.
"Jiaojiao is back." She put down the embroidery in her hand, "Have you eaten yet?"
Gu Jiao said, "I've eaten it, Nan Shi Niang, you should rest earlier."
"I'll go to bed after embroidering this. How about my embroidery?" Nan Shi Niang showed Gu Jiao the result of her embroidery all night.
To be honest, Gu Jiao hadn't seen an acupuncture artist who could compete with her aunt for a long time.
"... There is progress." Gu Jiao said without changing her expression.
Nan Shi Niang smiled happily: "Really? I think so too."
Nan Shi Niang received the compliment, and became more energetic and embroidered energetically.
Gu Jiao stopped talking, forget it, it's good that the mistress is happy.
Gu Jiao went to Gu Yan's house.
Gu Xiaoshun had already fallen asleep, Gu Yan had a light sleep, or he had not slept all the time.
Gu Jiao touched his forehead: "I said I would be back."
"Yeah." Gu Yan made a slight nasal sound.
"Go to sleep." Gu Jiao said softly.
…
The next day, before dawn, Nangong Li woke up. If it wasn't too late last night and the inner city gate was already closed, he might have reached Tianqiong Academy in the middle of the night.
The moment the South Inner City Gate opened wide, Nangong Li drove out in a carriage.
Don't think that Xiao Liulang is just a weak scholar, but he is as cunning as Marquis Xuanping.
Nangong Li's carriage arrived near the academy.
The coachman was his confidant bodyguard. He disguised himself, and no one could recognize his original appearance.
"Go and ask." Nangong Li said.
"Yes!"
The confidant guard jumped out of the carriage and came to the gate of Tianqiong Academy, handed a string of knives to the doorman, and said with a smile: "This little brother, I am from Wuyue Academy, my son admires Xiao Gongzi very much, and wants to get acquainted. Once you hit him, I'll come to inquire, is Xiao Liulang and Young Master Xiao here?"
The servant accepted the knife coin and said, "Young Master Xiao won't come to the academy today, you are running for nothing."
The confidant guard was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile, "Can I ask him where he went?"
The servant said, "He has entered the palace to see the king!"
The confidant's guard turned pale in shock: "What, what? Seeing the king?"
"Is this true?" On the carriage, Nangong Li frowned when he heard the report of his confidant guards, "Why would he go to see the monarch
The confidant guard said: "The little servant said that it seems that because of the kicking competition, they lost, but the Canaan Academy exchanged rewards with them, and the Canaan Academy took away 10,000 taels of gold, and they got the qualifications to enter the palace. ."
If Xiao Liulang goes somewhere else, Nangong Li can still wait for him to come back.
But Xiao Liulang went to the palace and saw the monarch.
Nangong gritted his teeth: "I can't let him see the monarch! Go back to the inner city!"
…
On a luxury carriage going to the inner city, except for Mu Qingchen, all four of the Tianqiong Academy's kicking competitions were there.
Muchan touched the still aching brain, and asked strangely, "Luo Lang, didn't you say you don't want to enter the palace? Why did you change your mind again?"
"Oh." Gu Jiao lowered her eyes and looked at her hands, "I thought about it, it's not bad to go to the palace."
Nangong Li, if you want to kill me, come to the palace and kill me!
