Chapter 502: Seeing the Undertaker for the first time
Jia Chengping's wife is an honest and honest woman. She looks ordinary and dresses very simply.
There was a little girl sitting next to her. The little girl looked very similar to her and had an honest face. Among so many gorgeous ladies, the mother and daughter seemed out of place.
When Mrs. Tan introduced her, she smiled shyly at Mu Siyu.
Mu Siyu returned her a friendly smile, and sat down next to them with Lu Zhiyun.
"Here you go." Jia Linglong handed a piece of pastry to Lu Zhiyun, "This one is delicious. There's only one left. I originally saved it for the little fat guy next door, but now I'm giving it to you."
"Thank you." Lu Zhiyun smiled sweetly at Jia Linglong.
"You are so good-looking." Jia Linglong blushed and looked at Lu Zhiyun with envious eyes.
Lu Zhiyun said: "You are also very good-looking. My name is Lu Zhiyun, what is your name?"
Jia Linglong smiled sheepishly: "My name is Jia Linglong."
"You have dimples when you smile!" Lu Zhiyun poked her little face, "I have them too. It seems like we are very suitable to be friends!"
Jia Linglong's eyes were full of light.
She is so happy to be friends with such a beautiful sister.
Mu Siyu was happy to see that Lu Zhiyun had a new friend so quickly. She and Mrs. Jia looked at each other and smiled.
The performance on the stage was wonderful. Whether those who liked to listen to the opera or those who did not like to listen to the opera, they all stared at the stage intently.
Their room is a wing on the second floor, and it is also the largest one, enough to accommodate thirty or forty people.
While they were listening to the play, there were waiters walking around here from time to time. Mu Siyu looked up and saw that they were buying tea and snacks and dried fruits, but didn't pay attention to them.
Suddenly, a group of people poured into the theater.
"Everyone, stay where you are." A man in black robes showed his token to everyone, "The Dark Law Department is investigating the case, and anyone who dares to move will be shot to death."
More and more people flocked to the theater.
These people all wore the same clothes and the same dress.
Among the group, a man wearing a mask walked slowly in.
"Dark Law Department!" Mrs. Rong said, "How come we met them handling the case?"
As for the departments responsible for the case, of course they are the Ministry of Justice, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple.
This Dark Law Department is independent of the Three Law Departments. It only takes orders from the emperor and is responsible for some strange and mysterious cases. Of course, its scope is extremely wide. In addition to the imperial court, it also involves many grudges and entanglements in the world.
The Justice Department also has the ability to intervene.
The Anfa Division and Dali Temple have always been at odds.
"I've heard of the Dark Law Division before, but this is the first time I've seen it." Mu Siyu said, "Mrs. Jia, who is..."
"That is Lord Qi Xiaoqi, the commander of the Dark Law Department, who directly obeys the emperor's orders." Mrs. Jia said.
The people from the Dark Law Department quickly found the place upstairs.
The entire wing was occupied by the family members of Dali Temple officials, which must have attracted the attention of the Dark Law Department. A subordinate informed Qi Xiao, who glanced at the window on the second floor and stepped upstairs.
"Qi Xiao is coming up." Mrs. Rong looked at Mrs. Tan, "Mrs. Tan, what should we do now?"
Mrs. Rong, who just now looked like she didn't take others seriously, was now sitting on pins and needles, her delicate little face was full of tension and anxiety.
"Why are you panicking? What does his investigation of his case have to do with us? We are here to listen to the show." Mrs. Tan said calmly.
Bang, the door opened.
A pair of long legs stepped in.
Mu Siyu turned around and met the man's eyes.
What a pair of cold eyes.
Qi Xiao walked towards Mrs. Tan: "Mrs. Tan."
"Master Qi." Mrs. Tan smiled lightly, "Today is really unfortunate. We, the little sisters, came here to listen to a play, but we happened to meet Master Qi here investigating a case."
"We are looking for spies, and we are afraid that we will offend all the ladies." Qi Xiao said calmly, "Everyone present today, including all ladies, must be searched."
"What do you mean?" Mrs. Rong stood up and said angrily.
"Mrs. Rong's ears don't work well?" the deputy commander next to her said coldly, "What our Lords mean is that today's matter is so serious that even the ladies cannot be immune to it."
Mu Siyu looked outside.
The guests on the first floor were all controlled and searched by the Dark Law Department. After the search, they were not allowed to leave. They also asked many tricky questions and examined their bodies.
Even those women were not spared, they were all searched by the Dark Law Department.
Mu Siyu frowned.
It seems that this dark law department is indeed not a likable existence.
"Master Qi, we are not ordinary women here. If you want to search our bodies, you can ask our husbands first if they agree." Mrs. Tan said sharply.
"That's right." Mrs. Rong agreed.
Mu Siyu said: "My lord, if you want to investigate the spies, of course we will cooperate, but don't you have any women in your Dark Law Department?"
"Since you don't want to cooperate, then bring them all back to the Dark Law Department." Qi Xiao said calmly.
"The surname is Qi..." Before a grumpy lady could finish her sentence, a knife was placed on her neck.
The deputy commander said coldly: "Even your adults dare not yell at our commander. Who do you think you are? You actually dare to call our adults by their first names."
There were sounds of fighting from below.
It turned out that someone was searching for something suspicious and could no longer hide it, so he wanted to kill the people from the Department of Dark Law and escape.
At this time, the maid who had been standing there used a hidden weapon towards Qi Xiao.
That's a dart.
Qi Xiao stood there without moving. When the dart was about to target him, he reached out and caught it.
When the maid saw what had happened, she grabbed Mu Siyu next to her and put a dagger on her neck.
"Mother..." Lu Zhiyun shouted and tried to pounce on her.
Mrs. Jia grabbed her and held her in her arms: "Don't go there."
"Qi, please let me go, or I will kill her." The maid's voice turned out to be a man's.
Mu Siyu was held hostage and looked at Qi Xiao opposite.
Qi Xiao looked at this scene very coldly.
"Master Qi, that is the wife of Lu Yi, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple. Master Lu has been favored by the Holy Spirit recently. You can't ignore her!" Mrs. Tan said nervously next to her.
Others in the room watched the scene nervously.
They took a few steps back and looked at the 'spy' who had mixed up among them at some point.
"My mission is to catch the spy. As for Madam Lu, if she is unlucky enough to be killed by the spy, Master Lu should blame the spy. I will torture him to avenge my wife."
The meaning of this is - whether she dies or not has nothing to do with me? I only care about completing the task. As long as the task is completed, the life and death of others is not within my scope of consideration.
Too indifferent.
Fortunately, Mu Siyu didn't count on this person either.
She lowered her head and bit the 'spy''s hand.
"Ah!" the spy yelled in pain and loosened the dagger in his hand.
Phew! A dart shot into the spy's eye.
"Ah!!!" Blood spattered from the spy's eyes. He took a few steps back, and when he was about to fall down the stairs, he grabbed Mu Siyu who was not far away.
They both fell from the window and fell downstairs.
This means that even if you die, you still have to support yourself.
