I played as an assistant in ancient times

Chapter 154

"No, there are guards there and we can't let him escape." Zhang Hu said sternly.

Shen Xiaoye continued: "Why would he want to hold me hostage?

There are so many people in the city, just find someone to take him out of the city."

Zhang Hu had no answer, he could only obey the orders from the captain.

The more Shen Xiaoye thought about it, the more she felt something was not right. There must be something else going on.

She knew she couldn't get an answer from Zhang Hu, so she focused all her energy on her surroundings.

The area they were currently wandering around was probably where civilians gathered. The houses on both sides were built very closely together and the streets were relatively narrow.

From time to time, there were people hurrying by on the road, probably because the government had lifted the search and many people were in a hurry to go to work.

From time to time, Shen Xiaoye had to move sideways to give way to pedestrians. Just then, a girl in rough clothes walked quickly on the opposite side, so she moved closer to the wall to give way again.

At the same time, Zhang Hu also turned sideways, preparing to stand diagonally opposite her.

However, at this moment, the girl who was close to the two of them suddenly attacked, and a dagger instantly attacked Shen Xiaoye.

"Aohou!" When Shen Xiaoye bent down, the little leopard jumped towards the girl's waist.

At the same time, Zhang Hu quickly punched the girl on the back of the head.

The girl reacted very quickly and dodged. After the attack missed, she threw out an object, which exploded in front of Shen Xiaoye. The little leopard also rushed towards the girl.

When people at both ends of the street heard the sound, they immediately turned around and ran away.

A thick smoke came out, instantly blocking people's vision. Shen Xiaoye held a three-inch thin knife in his hand and chased forward with squinted eyes.

She no longer had the figure of the girl in her sight, but she did see someone flying over the roof.

"Be careful!" Zhang Hu also rushed out of the thick smoke and pushed her against the wall. With a bang, an arrow fell where Shen Xiaoye was just now.

Someone on the roof shouted, "In the tree on the right, hurry!"

She looked up at a tree on the right and saw a person jumping down from it. She was frightened for a moment, but then she heard the cry of a little leopard. Shen Xiaoye immediately ran over and saw behind a half-open door that the little leopard kept biting the girl, but was stopped by two men in cloth.

The subdued girl glared at Shen Xiaoye hatefully, as if she wanted to eat her.

Shen Xiaoye picked up the little leopard, soothed it and asked the girl, "Who are you? Why did you kill me?"

She vaguely felt that the person Captain Zhao wanted to fish for was the girl in front of him.

"It's because of you that my grandfather was arrested by the government." The girl said coldly. She had made preparations for both situations, but unfortunately Xiao Gu's arrow did not hit her.

Shen Xiaoye frowned: "Are you Mo Rigen's granddaughter?"

"Humph!" The girl was about to say something, but when she saw Wang Gu being tied up at the door, her face changed drastically, "You idiot didn't get away either."

"Aohou..." Shen Xiaoye suppressed the jumping little leopard, turned around and saw Wang Gu, a servant of the Wu family.

She sighed and said to Zhang Hu beside her: "I really am a bait."

Without much thought, she figured it out. It was 99% likely that Captain Zhao had found out that Lao Mo had a granddaughter, and then deliberately spread the news that he was an informer in order to lure people to kill him.

But Lao Mo's granddaughter was fooled.

Shen Xiaoye couldn't help but walk to the door and asked Wang Gu: "As a spy, why didn't you complete your mission and kill a passerby like me?"

"What spy? I'm not a spy." Wang Gu didn't understand.

Shen Xiaoye frowned, and Zhang Hu came up from behind: "Take them away."

"Yes." Several men in plain clothes obeyed the order, covered the two men with black cloth and took them away.

Zhang Hu said: "Wang Gu was originally a bandit, he..." He said too much.

"He doesn't know Mo Rigen, he only knows Uncle Mo, and then he falls in love with someone's granddaughter? He hurts people for money and kills people for love." Shen Xiaoye finished speaking for him.

"Can I go home now?" In vain she released the little black cat to search another place.

Zhang Hu: "No, the captain wants to see you for something else."

"Find my cat first." Just as Shen Xiaoye finished speaking, a "meow" came from far away, and the little black cat quickly found her.

She scratched its fur: "Why are you looking for me so soon?"

……

Captain Zhao didn't expect it to be so smooth, he praised Shen Xiaoye generously, and seeing that she was unmoved, "Miss Shen, you also know that there are some facts that are inconvenient to tell you before.

The person that Mo Rigen really contacted was his granddaughter, and Wang Gu was just someone he bribed."

"It's better not to say anything, Captain. Now that I've caught the man, I want to go home.

The main reason is that I want to go to Beijing to check on my uncle's health." Shen Xiaoye didn't want to get involved too much. She was afraid that she would be cautious when encountering such things in the future.

Captain Zhao said, "You may not know that it was your uncle Shen Changsui who suggested to Your Majesty to eliminate the spies in the border towns and try to insert themselves into the enemy's inner circle.

Now, I would like you to pretend to be Morigen's granddaughter and go north with the grain transport team."

"Me? Lao Mo's granddaughter doesn't look like me. You'd better ask for someone else!" Shen Xiaoye felt that he was not qualified to be a secret guest.

Seeing that Captain Zhao was about to say something, she added, "Reporting enemy spies is my duty as a citizen of the Great Zhou.

However, one should only handle the big bowl according to one's ability. I am not familiar with the tribes on the grassland. Once I go out of the border, I will be surrounded by foreign races and I will be the first to show my weakness.

I don't think you will send just me. If I fail to do this carefully, I won't be in trouble. But what about the others who are cooperating with me?"

After a pause, she continued, "Also, I value my life. If I am found and arrested if anything unusual happens, and if I am not killed immediately, I don't know what the consequences will be."

"Your intelligence is rare." Captain Zhao couldn't help but praise.

Shen Xiaoye clasped his fists and said, "You are too kind. It is just a little cleverness. It is not good enough for big things."

Captain Zhao nodded slightly: "Okay, if you want to stop here, this matter ends with you. Go back!"

"I'm leaving." Shen Xiaoye slowly stepped out and turned around. She tried her best to maintain a normal speed and lead the two little ones away.

After sending her off, Zhang Hu returned and reported, "Captain, if you insist, she cannot refuse."

"Not appropriate. His uncle has a promising future." Captain Zhao still has a few female subordinates, but they have received years of training and it can be seen at a glance that they are not ordinary people.

Just as he waved his hand to let Zhang Hu go, someone came back from the Wu family and reported: "Captain, the Taoist priest from Taixu Temple wants to see you, and he also said he wants to bring Wu Fang with him."

Captain Zhao: "Master Wu Qi from Derun Cloth Shop?"

"Yes."

"Let Zhang Hu bring them here, and remember to avoid Miss Shen."

"Yes."

Shen Xiaoye had no idea that this would happen just as she left through the back door.

When she returned to the Wu Family Villa, she said to her grandfather, "Grandpa, let's go with the Taoist priest to transport madder grass."

"He just went out. What happened to you that took you so long to come back?

And this knife, I didn't see you take it on the way." Grandfather Shen Shanyou took out the broken knife she left and returned it to her. Today, facing Captain Zhao taking his granddaughter away to assist in the investigation, he couldn't even refuse, and couldn't ask the reason.

Now, he especially understood why his youngest son was in such a hurry to return to Beijing. He had to have power.
