I played as an assistant in ancient times

Chapter 312 Who has

"Don't bother with unimportant people." When Shen Xiaoye led him to hand over the two horses to the Wang family's servants, he saw that his uncle had already said goodbye to the elders and walked towards the queue.

The little black cat was still lying on the examination basket dutifully, on guard against any ambush.

Shen Xiaoye couldn't help but smile, and ran through the crowd to catch it. Unexpectedly, at this moment, someone passed by her fourth uncle, and the little black cat jumped up and pounced on the other person with a "meow".

This sudden change instantly caused a commotion around Shen Changsui. The candidates around him quickly retreated, and those who passed by him quickly disappeared into the crowd.

He wanted to call back the little black cat, but some enthusiastic people shouted, "Brother, why did you bring a cat to hurt people?"

"Yeah, it's really not appropriate to queue with a cat." Someone nearby echoed.

"Didn't you see that he hit my fourth uncle first?" The young Shen Cungeng was the first to rush over and protected Shen Changsui behind his arms, and said, "Come out, whoever is talking, are you in the same group as the person who hit my fourth uncle?

Are you trying to make my uncle sad on purpose so that he won't take the exam?"

As he spoke, he grabbed the torn sleeve of Shen Changsui. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the cut four inches above the right sleeve was caused by a sharp weapon.

If a person hurts his hand in this situation, he will not be allowed to take the exam! The candidates immediately stopped talking, stepped back, and looked at the soldiers who were running over.

"Geng'er, check Sui'er's arm first." Aunt Huang handed her youngest son to her mother-in-law and ran over, but her brother-in-law was older and it was not convenient for her to check him.

The whole family crowded over. Shen Changsui had already said many things about how his hands were not injured. When the soldiers asked him about it, he couldn't even remember what the man looked like. He only had some guesses based on the faint smell emanating from his body.

But what is certain is that the other party is definitely not a candidate. He said: "My niece and nephew will take you to chase him. Please spare some manpower to help."

“Xiao Ye, this kid!” Seeing that his son was fine, Grandpa Shen Shanyou slapped his thigh and turned to chase him, but was grabbed by his wife, “Xiao Ye is sensible, and there are two servants from the Wang family following him.

I saw Lu Guan and Shi Cun also chased after them on horseback, so you should stop moving. "When you are old, you should obey your age. Seeing that the two gentlemen only comforted their sons and ignored everything else.

If everyone went to chase the bad guys at this time, Sui Ge'er would be worried, so Lin quickly asked her eldest daughter-in-law to find needle and thread to mend Shen Changsui's sleeves.

If I go back to change clothes now, I won't have time to get to the front of the line. If the seat at the back is next to the official dormitory, I will suffer.

"Don't worry, my dear relative. The two servants are very skilled." Young Master Wang San also tried to comfort him, but he could not stop his worried look, because Chi Ge'er was also chasing after him!

Look at Shen Changsui who is walking towards the carriage with his family. He is just an ordinary scholar. Who wants to harm him?

Shen Xiaoye also wanted to know this question, so when her cousin rushed forward and pretended to grab the other person's uncle, she chose to chase the murderer.

She followed the madder roots dropped by the little black cat along the way very accurately. Only one of the two servants of the Wang family protected her closely, while the other protected Wang Chi who was lagging behind.

"Cousin, there's another alley." The madder roots were no longer in sight, and the servants beside her didn't know which way to go. There were countless alleys of all sizes in the capital, and many alleys in a neighborhood were connected by alleys, so it was difficult to find someone once they got in.

Shen Xiaoye stopped breathing, thinking that maybe the little black cat had chased the other party into his hiding place. She chose a route and said, "Separate and chase!"

“No, that guy wandered through several alleys, which means he is very familiar with the area.

What if he suddenly shows up and commits another crime...” Although the servant did not see the villain committing the crime at the time, he still classified him as an extremely dangerous person and was worried about letting the cousin chase him alone.

When passers-by saw a grown man stopping a little girl, they immediately stood up for her. Shen Xiaoye quickly explained and the man left.

The two people standing at the fork in the road breathed a sigh of relief. When Shen Xiaoye wanted to say something, he heard a meow, "He entered the water bubble and turned to the east bank. I chased him and found that there were many government troops guarding there."

Just as he finished speaking, the cat's nimble body flew down from the edge of the house.

Shen Xiaoye squatted down and patted it, deciding to fill it with more madder roots in the future. "He went in and never came out."

"Meow..." No, but that place might be some government office.

Shen Xiaoye picked it up and walked along the path it pointed. The servant followed suspiciously behind. After a while, when they turned from north to west, the servant said hesitantly, "Cousin, the saddle and bridle department is just ahead."

"where?"

"It's what we call the Armoury."

Shen Xiaoye paused when she heard this. Not everyone could enter the Great Zhou's arsenal. She raised the cat and asked, "Are you sure he went in and didn't come out?"

"No, I want to go in, but the defense inside is very strict. There are not only archers but also muskets on the corner tower." Little Black Cat tried the invisibility talisman, but there was a sentry every three steps and five steps. It would be too tiring for the cat to go in, and it was not cost-effective.

The servant saw the man and the cat staring at each other for a long time, and couldn't help but say, "Cousin, maybe he is not from the armory?"

"Are there other families living in this alley?" Shen Xiaoye looked far away. There seemed to be no other houses in the entire alley. She walked slowly in to take a closer look. Sure enough, she saw only a tall door on both sides, guarded by soldiers.

Moreover, as she walked over, she also noticed that someone was looking at her.

After Little Black Cat told her that there was a secret sentry on the attic of the armory, Shen Xiaoye stopped looking around, and the servant behind her just stared at the road.

Before they reached the gate, they heard footsteps chasing them from behind, and heard Wang Chi shouting, "Cousin, didn't you catch up?"

"Keep your voice down." Then came a low voice, from the soldiers patrolling the Imperial Examination Hall.

They approached Shen Xiaoye, and the person who had just spoken said, "Don't go any further. Most people won't escape this way."

The emperor was warlike and attached great importance to armor factories and royal factories that made bows and armor, as well as gunpowder and muskets.

"What if the murderer is from here?" Shen Xiaoye pointed to the high wall.

Several soldiers shook their heads in unison, "We are not qualified to go in and arrest anyone."

Shen Xiaoye: "Who has it?"

"What do you think?" The soldier asked her again.

Yes, only the eunuch in charge of the Military Equipment Bureau appointed by the emperor is qualified to arrest the people inside.

Wang Chi pulled her and said, "Cousin, did you see anyone go in with your own eyes?"

"Yeah." Shen Xiaoye nodded. The servant behind her looked over quickly, and seeing that she remained calm, he quickly retracted his gaze and turned to observe the little black cat.

She said to several soldiers, "Could you please go and talk to the person in charge of this factory.

After all, injuring candidates at the entrance to the Imperial Examination Hall shows that he really does not take the inspectors and the national policy of recruiting talents seriously. If he fails to succeed in one strike, he might even go further and instigate other cases of injury."
