Chapter 452 Discovery of the Sacred Body for Investigating Cases?
When Jiang Xiaoqi came out of the Third Prince's residence, she felt her face was ice cold (as if it were covered with tiles).
For some reason, he had been looking forward to the man in black robes continuing to ask questions.
For example, did they know that the person in charge of the assassination was a member of the Jiang family, and that he was Song Jinyang's former classmate from the clan school?
Did this man in black robes disregard him and the Jiang family, or did he feel there was no need to say anything?
If the Third Prince and his group really investigate these two siblings thoroughly, they will know just how ungrateful they are.
Their great-uncle provided them with education and skills free of charge, but in the end, he became a stumbling block for them to climb the social ladder.
When the two men left, their great-uncle gave them travel expenses.
Over the years, my great-uncle has sponsored hundreds of impoverished students, and there aren't many like these two siblings who don't know their place.
However, these two held somewhat special positions in the Third Prince's residence, responsible for secretly transmitting intelligence.
Each time, important messages were hidden in poems and paintings, and the missions were announced by hanging them in different locations in teahouses and bookstores.
Heh, it's got that spy drama vibe now!
When Jiang Xiaoqi got home, it was already late. She changed her clothes, cleared her mind, and waited for breakfast.
I also exchanged a few health-preserving pills for myself to keep myself alive. If I keep working like this, 996 and 007, I'm afraid I'll die suddenly like in my previous life.
If you die suddenly in ancient times, will you be transported back to the future? Maybe I shouldn't take this pill for now.
A wave of dizziness washed over her, and Jiang Xiaoqi immediately abandoned her previous idea. She swallowed a health-boosting pill in one gulp, and also took a mind-refreshing pill.
The life of cattle and horses goes on and on, it's so exhilarating, so incredibly exhilarating!
Sure enough, Li Mo brought breakfast at the crack of dawn.
A simple meal of steamed buns and millet porridge, accompanied by a small dish of green vegetables.
The portion size is just right; you won't feel hungry or overly full.
"Young Master, you haven't slept all night?"
Jiang Xiaoqi paused in her porridge-eating motion. "You figured it out?"
"Your bed is perfectly smooth, and the blankets look like they've been touched."
Your shoes have some moss on them. I didn't hear you doing your morning exercise this morning. Did you go out early, or did you just come back from somewhere?
Jiang Xiaoqi put down his chopsticks, feeling that there was something more important than eating at that moment.
He seems to have discovered a criminal genius. No, even if he is a genius, he should be a promising talent.
Li Mo has always had good insight, though I hadn't realized it before, but today I truly felt it.
"Li Mo, would you like to come with me on a errand?"
"Ah? Young master, I've been following you around on business all this time."
"I'm not talking about personal matters. What are your plans for the future? Do you just intend to be an ordinary guard?"
Li Mo scratched his head. Wasn't being a bodyguard wrong? Besides, was his young master's personal bodyguard just an ordinary bodyguard? His monthly salary was the highest in the whole family.
His parents, grandfather, and grandmother were all proud of him, and he himself felt that being able to serve as a bodyguard for the top scholar was a blessing he had accumulated over several lifetimes.
"Young master, I think being your bodyguard is great. The other bodyguards in the house are very envious."
"If you can only be a bodyguard, then being a bodyguard is indeed good for you. But if you can do many more technically demanding tasks, then being a bodyguard is a waste of your abilities."
Li Mo smiled innocently, "Wasting your abilities?"
They know their own limitations. Wenbin is at least good at calculating accounts quickly and accurately, while Aniu is naturally strong.
Even the somewhat weak Wangchuan has a talent for attracting customers and making money.
This is why he is the only one left to serve the young master. He is not good at accounting, he is not as strong as Ah Niu, and he is no match for Wangchuan when it comes to pleasing guests.
"Young Master, I feel that apart from my skills, which are decent enough, I really don't have anything else to offer."
Jiang Xiaoqi took a sip of millet porridge and shook her head. "Your observation skills are above average; you can spot some details that are easily overlooked."
"Come with me on this investigation. I'm short-handed, especially trustworthy people."
Li Mo was somewhat stunned. Investigating a case? Himself? Helping the young master investigate a case? Could that even work?
Li Mo did not answer immediately, but Jiang Xiaoqi kept looking at him intently.
"Alas, young master, I have never investigated a case before, and I am afraid that I will not do a good job and delay your important business."
Jiang Xiaoqi patted him on the shoulder, "I will teach you. You have this talent, you will definitely learn quickly."
After a moment's thought, Li Mo finally nodded firmly, "Alright, young master, I'm willing to follow you in investigating the case!"
"Alright, from today onwards, you will officially work with me. After we finish eating, take me to the Hanlin Academy first. Don't be idle during the day either; I'll give you a few places to help me find some things."
"Yes, my lord!"
Since I'm here on official business, I can't call you "Young Master" anymore; "Sir" is more appropriate!
"Okay, whatever you want!"
After Jiang Xiaoqi and Elder Chen of the Hanlin Academy bought the information, they stopped going to the archives often.
Old Master Chen hasn't had any good snacks lately. One day, Jiang Xiaoqi arrived at his office and hadn't even settled in when Old Master Chen walked in with his hands behind his back.
"Oh dear, Lord Jiang, I hope I haven't disturbed your work?"
Jiang Xiaoqi put down the pen she had just picked up and stood up to greet him.
"So it's Lord Chen. What brings you here?"
"Hahaha, it's just that I haven't seen Lord Jiang for a long time, and I've missed him a bit."
Old Master Chen stroked his beard and said in a serious tone.
"I see. It is my honor to be remembered by Lord Chen. Please have a seat and try some of the pastries that your family has just made."
It was quite a coincidence that the kitchen delivered some newly researched pastries today, which Li Mo loaded onto the car. If Lord Chen had come yesterday, he wouldn't have had this chance to enjoy them.
That's why they say those who are blessed don't have to worry. Jiang Xiaoqi hasn't tried this pastry yet, so she really doesn't know what it tastes like.
However, Lord Chen has always been a connoisseur of food, so it's good to let him try it, so he won't make a mistake.
Without any hesitation, Old Master Chen picked up the emerald green pastries and popped them into his mouth, one after another.
Jiang Xiaoqi carefully observed the other person's micro-expressions, but did not take a piece herself.
Jiang Xiaoqi didn't move until Old Master Chen reached out his hand a second time.
If you can eat a second piece, it can't be too bad, right?
As expected, the judgment was correct.
So that emerald green color is matcha! I remember eating matcha pastries from a famous old brand in my past life, and this one tastes much better than that one.
Yes, it's incredibly strong!
After finishing one piece, I reached for the plate again, only to find it was gone.
A plate of pastries was held in Lord Chen's arms, now only some crumbs remained.
What I fear most is the sudden silence in the air.
Lord Chen, with a calm expression, even ate the crumbs of pastry from the plate.
He put down the empty plate, picked up the hot tea that Jiang Xiaoqi hadn't had time to drink, and drank it all in one gulp.
