you got on my tail

When Bai Xuehe returned home, his forehead was covered with fine sweat, and the indigestible glutinous rice was churning in his belly, he handed the basket containing the black eggs to the maidservant, although the maidservant was afraid, she still took it.

"This is rewarded by the emperor, put it in a good place, feed it well, don't lose weight." Bai Xuehe ordered, while taking off the belt of the official uniform inlaid with beautiful jade, he raised his head, looked at the maid and smiled slowly, "Xiaowei, don't be afraid, you won't bite."

When Bai Xuehe was not in the prison, he completely changed his appearance. He opened the tightly tied hair crown, and his black hair was scattered like a waterfall, looking gentle and delicate.

Looking at Bai Xuehe's extremely uncomfortable expression, Xiaowei gritted his teeth and said, "The emperor is too capricious. It's not easy for us, but he wants to..."

"The emperor never shorted my salary, and I never shorted your monthly money." Bai Xuehe suppressed his smile, and there was a sharpness between his eyebrows that had never been seen before, "You can listen to nonsense, but you have to cut your tongue of."

"But……"

"It's nothing." Bai Xuehe held up his hair with his hands, "Prepare a cage."

The black egg in the basket quickly retracted its tongue, and the whole snake looked rounder. When Xiao Wei heard his harsh words, there was some distressed expression on his brows, so he had to fetch a thin silk cage from outside. There were some chopped pieces of meat in it, trying to lure out the black eggs shrunk in the basket.

Black Egg didn't move.

"This snake is quite cute after seeing too much, master, why doesn't it eat this." Xiao Wei shook his head, raised his hand to poke Heidan, "Is this snake a vegetarian?"

It's not that Heidan doesn't eat meat, on the contrary, he likes it very much. It's just that he has never eaten raw meat. When he was in the valley, A Li would come back and bring him something to eat. What A Li brought was human food. A Li was not around. , Heidan eats some fruits, at least as long as he remembers.

Just seeing the small fruit on the table, he felt hungry instead.

Xiaowei nodded, and walked out slowly with the corner of her skirt, Bai Xuehe was the only one left in the room, Bai Xuehe watched quietly for a while, took a fruit from the table and held it in his hand, and said with a low laugh: "You Want to eat?"

Heitan nodded subconsciously, and felt that he could not reveal his identity. He immediately hid his head and body together into a ball, pretending that he was lowering his head just now. It seemed that this villain already suspected that he was a monster. The snake seemed to be Meat eater, so he leaned over and took a mouthful, and then showed his unconcealable pity, his tongue hanging down, and the whole snake was listless.

Bai Xuehe picked up the fruit and took a bite, then said in a low voice, "If you understand what I'm saying, just nod, and I'll give you the fruit."

Heidan felt that he was a snake with willpower, how could he be easily attracted by a fruit, he still huddled up nervously, hoping that Bai Xuehe would throw him away.

But Bai Xuehe cut the fruit and put it into the cage, and then said nothing. Heidan was so hungry that he looked at the buckle on the cage with his black bean eyes, thinking that he should have a way to open it, so he swallowed the fruit bit by bit, and finally Get into the cage.

Bai Xuehe put down the hasp of the cage.

How can there be any monsters in the world? It seems that he is thinking too much. Fu Jiying is self-willed and disregarding others. This time, he is just making fun of him as usual. The rain, dew, thunder and lightning are all the favor of the king, and this is just an ordinary snake. He was already so unbearable in the eyes of all the officials. If Fu Jiying wanted to know something, he would ask directly, why would he need to use some monster to undercover.

Bai Xuehe thought about it, and got up still holding the black egg, the door was roughly pushed open, and Xiao Wei was standing in front of the door with red eyes holding a bag of candied fruit.

"Put it in the kitchen." Bai Xuehe's voice was flat, as if he had already guessed what was going on, Xiao Wei threw the candied fruit on the ground, then suddenly knelt down.

Bai Xuehe stepped half a foot out of the door, then slowly retracted it, and said in a flat tone: "Go and put it in the kitchen."

"Master, I heard people on the street that Master Ruan was also implicated..." Xiao Wei twisted his sleeves, tears streaming down his face, "Master, you know what kind of person Master Ruan is. "

"Zhou Jing confessed himself, and the emperor saw it." Bai Xuehe didn't want to talk to Xiaowei anymore, and walked to the kitchen, "I don't know anything."

"Master Ruan will not rebel!" Xiaowei gritted his teeth and stood up suddenly, "Master, if you let others decide everything in life, what's the point of being alive! I owe Master Ruan a great favor, I might as well die with him clean!"

"What kind of master are you?" Bai Xuehe sneered, "In the whole world, is it Wang Tu, you are the same, and Ruan Jianghe is the same. Who the emperor wants to die is just a matter of one sentence."

"How can I be the same as Young Master Ruan? I'm just a slave." Xiaowei was extremely anxious, tears rolling down his face, "Master Ruan is so innocent, how can he..."

"Yes." Bai Xuehe was stunned for a moment, then smiled with lowered eyebrows: "Only I deserve what I deserve."

Xiaowei was speechless for a while, and a chill spread in her heart. She stared at the cage in Bai Xuehe's hand for a while, and said with a sneer, "No wonder you put the cage in the kitchen. You don't keep the things that the emperor rewarded you in the room, but Because this snake is a living thing! You are afraid that even a snake will be sent by the emperor to stare at you! Instead of waiting for you to save Master Ruan, I might as well argue myself!"

After Xiaowei finished speaking, he wiped his tears and ran out of the house. Bai Xuehe just sneered, thinking that she was really making trouble for no reason. Heidan had a great affection for Xiaowei who was gentle just now. It was Bai Xuehe who drove Xiaowei away in anger, so he shrank into the cage, secretly feeling angry.

Bai Xuehe didn't notice, he directly lifted the cage to the kitchen and put it down, he changed into the vermilion official uniform from before, combed his hair, and walked towards the jail familiarly.

Wei Lan, the commander of Jinyiwei, was wearing casual clothes, and when he saw him, he showed a flattering smile, "Master Bai, what kind of wind brought you here?"

"I'm here to interrogate Ruan Jianghe." Bai Xuehe rarely lost his smile, "Where is he?"

"The emperor ordered you to investigate the case of monsters in the capital, but he didn't ask you to interrogate Mr. Ruan." Wei Lan smiled very submissively, "You know the rules best. Mr. Ruan is a serious offender who is involved in treason. Let people in?"

"You arrested Ruan Jianghe, even the maids in my mansion know about it, and you are talking about whether it is a serious crime or not." Bai Xuehe's voice was cold, and there was no warmth in his eyes: "Take me there."

Wei Lan froze for a moment, then nodded hastily, and ordered the people around him to take him there. A subordinate came and stared at Bai Xuehe's back dissatisfiedly and murmured: "This person wants to punish Ruan Jianghe, and he keeps saying that we let him go." News, do you need to inform the higher-ups?"

"Since having him, we Jinyiwei have been looking at Dali Temple's face, what do you know?" Wei Lan sneered, "Don't bother us."

Bai Xuehe descended slowly along the steps. He had come to this place many times, but now he felt a little uneasy. When the jailer saw him coming down, the guards who were drinking water all got up and went out when they saw him coming down. Only one man was left. Young people sitting in the depths of a prison.

Bai Xuehe paused for a moment, before he could speak, the person on the other side raised his head and asked, "Where are you going?"

The jailer stopped in surprise, while Bai Xuehe seemed a little embarrassed for the first time, he nodded and said, "Master Ruan."

"The person who should interrogate me is someone else, not you, Mr. Bai." Ruan Jianghe turned his back to him, and did not say another word. Bai Xuehe was stunned for a while, and Ruan Jianghe continued: "Please go back."

The jailer hurried forward to show his courtesy, "Master Bai, do you want a little one..."

"I shouldn't have tried this, but the case of King Yan's treason has always been my responsibility." Bai Xuehe interrupted the jailer, with a smile on his face again, "I'm here to take a look, I'm definitely not acting on behalf of you, Mr. Ruan To be imprisoned here without enduring hardship is not to appreciate my kindness at all."

"Then I will accept your kindness." Ruan Jianghe turned her head, frowned, and did not hide the disgust in her eyes, "Prosperity and wealth are hard to come by, and yours is even harder to come by, but people shouldn't be greedy, it's better to be greedy early." Get away."

After all, he got up and pulled the prison door, the guards on both sides were a little happy, after all, it was the champion of the past, even if Mr. Ruan was locked in the prison, he was different from those soft bones, and when he saw Bai Xuehe, he was afraid like a ghost generally!

Bai Xuehe had nothing to say, so he could only smile, and walked out along the steps, the jailer hurriedly followed, and said in a low voice: "Ruan Jiang uttered wild words together, there are a lot of adults, but the small ones can't stand it, if the adults read it I can't bear to do anything because of the old love, the young ones can..." After finishing speaking, he made a gesture, as if he was waiting for Bai Xuehe's compliment.

The jailer is just a very inconspicuous low-class person, but he also knows the key to it. Ruan Jianghe won the first prize, but Bai Xuehe came from a humble background. Now that Bai Xuehe is in power, Ruan Jianghe, who has always been aloof, falls into his hands, so naturally he will be severely frustrated.

Bai Xuehe didn't speak, after a while, he turned his head and smiled at the jailer: "You watch carefully, the emperor sent people to interrogate, you just said Master Ruan is too poor, don't let them in, I have plenty of ways to vent my anger, clear?"

"Of course, we're all waiting for Lord Bai's good move." The jailer felt very proud that the flattery had hit the spot.

Bai Xuehe left the imperial prison, but did not go to Dali Temple to investigate other files, but returned to the mansion again. The place where he lived was given by the emperor. It was not far from the imperial city but it was very clean. It was early summer, and the wind Rolled over, the petals fell to the ground, Bai Xuehe stood in the alley for a long time, and then slowly returned to the mansion, there were very few servants in his mansion, and Xiao Wei didn't know where to go, it was even more quiet like an empty house.

Bai Xuehe lowered his head and saw a fat snake rushing towards him.
