Li Zhang carefully inspected the entire cave and each branch cave, but found no evidence to prove that this cave was related to the legendary Hat Demon. However, as Liu Chengfeng said, the cave itself is evidence, because it was not something that could be built by human forces in this era. Li Zhang even suspected that even in later generations, it would not be easy to build such a cave.

Li Zhang was of course very curious about the cave itself, especially the hat demon that had appeared near the Dragon Gate many times, and this strange cave might have been left by the hat demon back then. If this is true, then what is the hat demon? Is it an alien or a legendary monster? In addition to alien technology and magic, Li Zhang really couldn't think of any other explanation for the formation of this cave.

However, although Li Zhang had a lot of questions, he also gained something. At least Igler was caught, and it was certain that there was a Manichae inner demon in the yamen. At that moment, Li Zhang asked someone to hang Liu Chengfeng and his son up and then prepare to leave the cave.

But when he was about to go up, Li Zhang turned his head and looked at this strange cave again. It was like himself, and it seemed that it did not belong to this era, and it could not explain the reason why they appeared in this era. This made Li Zhang even more confused. Does the hat monster exist? What kind of creatures are they? Where did they come from? Is it related to their time travel...

Li Zhang had a series of question marks in his mind, but unfortunately the cave was a dead object and could not answer his own questions at all. Li Zhang himself could not explain the reason for his time travel. He could only rely on his own guesses and similarities, but it may be a huge gap with the real facts.

On the way back, Li Zhang was still thinking about the above questions, but in the end he was almost bursting, but he still had no idea. Finally, he shook his head hard and then threw these questions away. Since he couldn't figure it out, don't think about it anymore. Anyway, he has come and has a wife and children, so live a life of seriousness!

When he returned to Luoyang City, Li Zhang specially ordered Liu Chengfeng and Igler and his son to be shown in the car. Those who don’t know the inside story may think that he left the city today to capture Igler. With Igler’s arrest, the case of Hat Demon Injury can finally be closed.

However, before the case was closed, Li Zhang did not intend to let go of other temples and Taoist temples in the city that were involved in fake hat demons. He asked someone to collect some evidence and then arrested the participants of these temples and Taoist temples.

Although these people did not hurt people like the Uighurs, they almost caused panic in the city, so the punishment was very severe. Not only did they take back the Du Di and deprive their monks of their status, they were also exiled to Lingnan. At the same time, they also fined these temples and Taoist temples with heavy money, not only did they let them spit out all the food they had eaten before, but they also paid a lot of compensation.

As for the Manichaeism, who was bold and pretended to be a hat demon and injured people, causing several people to be seriously injured, it was directly banned. The Dayun Guangming Temple in Sishunfang was also demolished and some Manichaeists were expelled. As for those who participated in the crime, Liu Chengfeng and Igler, they were all escorted to the capital for interrogation, and in the end they should all be killed.

It is worth mentioning that the insider in the yamen was also found soon. It was a prisoner in the prison. Just when Li Zhang and his friends returned to the city, the prisoner knew that his identity was about to be exposed, so they ran away early, but they were soon arrested. The reason why he reported to Liu Chengfeng was also because he was bewitched by Manichi and believed in Manichi. This was Li Zhang's negligence. He did not investigate Manichi in advance, so he let the other party take advantage of the loopholes.

The case has been settled. Li Zhang originally wanted to stay in Luoyang for a few more days and have a tour by the way. If there were good scenery, he could also take his family to visit in the future. However, because of the strange stone cave, he was full of doubts now. Although he didn't think about it for the time being, he had no intention of visiting. Moreover, there were a lot of things in the capital, so he asked someone to take a prison car and escort Liu Chengfeng and other criminals left Luoyang City.

Originally, Li Zhang was worried that someone would rob the prisoners on the way. After all, although the power of Manichaeism in Luoyang was removed, there were still many Manichaeists in other places. Even Luoyang must have some Manichaeists hiding in the dark, but the journey was surprisingly calm. Of course, this was also related to Li Zhang leading a large number of imperial guards. Even if ordinary people want to rob the prisoners, they probably don’t have the ability.

Finally, Li Zhang returned to Tokyo smoothly. When they arrived at the East City Gate, they saw the crowd greeting in front of the door. Among the crowd, Li Zhang also saw Douzi standing beside Li Er at a glance, which made him feel relieved, because the imperial examination had ended, Douzi was now standing beside Li Er with a smile on his face, which means that he should have passed the Jinshi exam.

Sure enough, when Li'er saw Li Zhang, he was the first to run up and shouted: "Brother, Brother Douzi has passed the Jinshi exam!"

Li Zhang laughed loudly when he heard this. He first congratulated Douzi, and then met his family. Qingzhi and An Ran also came. He was very happy to see Li Zhang, especially An Ran, who fell into Li Zhang's arms and refused to come out.

Li Zhang asked someone to send criminals such as Liu Chengfeng to the Kaifeng Prison for temporary detention. These people were serious criminals. Although Li Zhang had the full power to deal with them, he still hoped that the court would interrogate them. Of course, he could also be lazy.

Now that Li Zhang and his family returned home, Wild Dog had already gone back to his home with Xiuxiu. The couple had been separated for many days, and Xiuxiu was pregnant, so there must be a lot to say.

Li Zhang and Qingzhi were both short separations better than newlyweds. Originally, Li Zhang wanted to ask Douzi about his passing the imperial examination, but unfortunately he was addicted to the gentle village. Until he woke up the next morning, Li Zhang, who was refreshed, had breakfast and then came to the front yard to look for Douzi, but he didn't expect Douzi to be still studying at this time.

"Have you passed the exam? Why are you still working so hard?" Li Zhang pushed the door and entered Douzi's study. Seeing Douzi studying, he couldn't help but smile.

Seeing Li Zhang coming in, Douzi put down the book in his hand a little embarrassedly and said, "I used to it before, and although I have passed the Jinshi, I still have to wait for the imperial court to arrange positions, so there is nothing to do during this period. I am idle, so it's better to read more books."

When he heard Douzi's words, Li Zhang looked at Douzi in surprise. Only then did he realize that Douzi had really grown up and was no less tall than himself. Moreover, because of years of studying, he also had a more elegant scholarly appearance. In addition, Douzi's rich experience made him feel a little more calm than his peers. With Li Zhang's ability to identify people, it is almost certain that Douzi will achieve something in the future as long as he does not make big mistakes.

However, thinking of the above made Li Zhang hesitate a little. After a moment, he stared at Douzi and said, "Douzi, I mentioned to my aunt before that as long as you pass the Jinshi exam, you will get married with Li'er, and my aunt also agrees. Now I'll ask you again, are you really willing to marry Li'er?"

"I dream of marrying Li'er, please help me!" Douzi also took the lead seriously at this time. The reason why he worked hard to study was to marry Li'er was that he could get to this point with this belief.

"But you have to think clearly that I have always been very cautious about foreign relatives in the Song Dynasty, especially the prince-consort. It is generally difficult for me to do anything too much in the officialdom. When you pass the Jinshi exam at a young age, it is the time to make great achievements. Are you really willing to give up these for Li'er?" Li Zhang asked again at the moment. He had to explain these words to Douzi in advance so that he would not regret it in the future.

"I have considered all the things that my brother said. I don't care whether I can enter the officialdom or not. As long as I can be with Li'er, the relatives of the foreigners are not completely unable to participate in government affairs. For example, if you are also a relative of the foreigners, aren't you still valued by Your Majesty?" Douzi said very easily when he heard Li Zhang's words. Perhaps because of Li Zhang's influence, he also took the position of officialdom very lightly.

Hearing Douzi say this, Li Zhang also smiled with satisfaction and nodded immediately, "Okay, I'll feel relieved if you have these words. I will come to the palace to report to Your Majesty about Luoyang tomorrow, and I will propose marriage to Your Majesty at that time!"

"Brother Thank you!" Douzi said excitedly when she heard this, and even forgot to ask Li Zhang about going to Luoyang to check the hat demon.

Although Li Zhang's face was happy, his feelings were quite complicated. After all, Li Er was his sister. Although he knew that he was just a cousin now, he always thought that Li Er was his own sister. Moreover, his elder brother was like a father, so he raised Li Er with his own hands. It can be said that he and Li Er were called brothers and sisters, but in fact they were more like father and daughter in their relationship. Now that they wanted to marry Li Er like a daughter, Li Zhang felt mixed feelings.

After asking Douzi's attitude, Li Zhang tried Li'er's attitude again. After all, he was not a feudal grandparent, so he should respect Li'er's attitude in marriage. Li'er usually looks careless, but he is very shy in marriage. He only said "Everything depends on the elder brother and mother queen", and then ran away. It seemed that she was very willing.

"You can't stay with a girl!" Looking at Li Er's figure running away, Li Zhang couldn't help but sigh, and felt even more uncomfortable. Then he turned to find Qingzhi. He wanted to find some comfort from his wife, but he didn't expect to see his daughter An Ran at a glance. This made him think that when An Ran grows up, he will marry and leave like Li Er. By then, he will be an old father, which makes Li Zhang even more heartbroken.
