Lu Wang Hongzhenkang did not believe that the thirty-four people in the Shenji Division died at the hands of the Charming Demon.
"Jiang Shengqun, you are so brave. I asked you this question calmly, but you said such nonsense!" King Lu scolded Jiang Shengqun, and Jiang Shengqun lowered his head and remained silent.
If he were an ordinary person, if he was scolded by the King of Lu, his heart would be broken, and he would definitely tell the story about the servant.
But Jiang Shengqun was really a courageous man. He insisted that he would go out to the city to capture the succubus and didn't even mention the matter of the chamberlain.
This is a lie, but the process is true. It was the enchantress who caused Jiang Shengqun's entire army to be wiped out. Even if King Lu asked about the details, Jiang Shengqun was honest.
King Lu actually asked for details: "Tell me what the succubus looks like?"
Jiang Shengqun answered truthfully: "I didn't see the appearance of the succubus in my humble position. I only knew that the succubus used enchantment techniques."
King Lu sneered and said, "How dare you lie? Tell me what the charm is like."
Jiang Shengqun still answered truthfully: "She only spoke in her ears, her voice was that of a woman, and her words were dirty and dirty. It was all a matter of persuasion.
After hearing those words, we were so flustered that we lost all our skills. We fell into the trap of the succubus again and suffered heavy casualties.
By the time we left the house where the thief was, all our colleagues who were guarding outside had been killed. There were no signs of fighting, and everyone died quietly."
After finishing his words, Liang Zhenkang remained silent for a long time without saying a word.
When the incense in the furnace was burned out, King Lu ordered people to add more incense. He turned to Jiang Shengqun and said, "Go ahead and don't mention this matter to others."
Jiang Shengqun kowtowed and then left.
King Lu was in his study, lost in thought for a long time, muttering to himself: "Is it really him?"
…
Liang Yuyao lost a lot of blood and had a dull pain in her chest. Other than that, she had no other serious problems.
Xu Zhiqiong felt relieved and quietly left Yuyao Palace, first going to Siguo Room.
I didn't think about it yesterday, and a plum blossom grew on my face.
If you stay a little longer today, you might be able to make up for it.
When they arrived at Si Guo Fang, Hong Huaxiao complained: "Why didn't you come last night? That's fine if you didn't come. Why don't you bring Mr. Bai Lang here? We both repaired in a wonderful place and interrupted the day, so that he and I could
, but the heat was ruined,
You hurry up and find Mr. Bai Lang, and I'll keep the heat going. With more strength, I can slowly raise his soul!"
Xu Zhiqiong pointed to the plum blossoms on his face and said, "Don't talk about Mr. Bai Lang. I forgot to think about it last night. I have to make amends today."
After staying in the thinking room for two full hours, the plum blossoms did not disappear.
Xu Zhiqiong touched his cheek, feeling very frustrated: "How can I meet people like this?"
"Cover it with powder first!" Hong Huaxiao is very good at makeup. He applied some powder to Xu Zhiqiong to cover the plum blossoms. "When the Taoist comes back, I will explain the reason to him and beg him to spare you. Hurry up."
Find Bai Langjun, don't miss the serious business of the two of us."
Xu Zhiqiong took Bai Yueshan to Siguofang. After waiting for an hour, the master did not come back, so he sent Bai Yueshan back to the Good Rewarding Department.
When we arrived at Shangshangsi, it was already getting late. Seeing Bai Yueshan's pale face, Zhao Baijiao sighed and said, "It was okay to have a day's rest yesterday, but today I went and was so weak."
Xu Zhiqiong took another bag of broken silver and gave it to Baijiao: "Buy more good food. You have been working very hard these days. Take some nourishment with Doctor Bai."
When Zhao Baijiao took the money bag, she smelled a scent, but she didn't dare to ask any more questions.
After Xu Zhiqiong left, Zhao Baijiao looked at Dr. Bai, frowned and said, "I'm talking about treating illnesses, but I've clearly taken you to be romantic. I haven't even used that high-quality powder."
Bai Yueshan walked quietly to the small pavilion, sat in silence for a moment, and began to play the piano.
Zhao Baijiao came closer with a bowl of meat soup: "Here, drink it while it's hot."
The music stopped suddenly, and Bai Yueshan turned to look at Zhao Baijiao.
After looking at each other for a long time, Zhao Baijiao heard a long-lost voice.
"Can you hear the tune just now?"
Although the sentences are not coherent, each word is spoken clearly.
Zhao Baijiao exclaimed and almost spilled the meat soup in her hand.
…
Xu Zhiqiong returned to Shenlin City and went straight to the capital city. The housekeeper Shan Yongping had been waiting in the east cross courtyard early. When he saw Xu Zhiqiong, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master, something bad is going on!"
Xu Zhiqiong's heart trembled: "What happened?"
Han Di fought with the ladies for several days. Didn't he force them to hang themselves?
Shan Yongping said: "Sir, King Lu sent someone to look for you today. I said that you were not at home and went to the Shenji Division.
As a result, the messenger said that they had already looked for you at Shenjisi. They heard that you were feeling unwell and had returned home to rest, so they came to visit you.
You also know King Lu's temper. Since he can't find you, he is afraid that he will get angry."
King Lu comes to see me?
He didn't dare to go to Yuyao Palace, but why did he come to see Lord Shenji?
Did he find out who I am?
Impossible, I haven't seen him since I pretended to be Shan Zhongming.
He wants to mobilize manpower from the Shenji Division to deal with Yuyao Palace?
This is possible.
But what if Shan Zhongming doesn’t agree?
Repeat the old trick and use the Chaos and Impermanence techniques to control Shan Zhongming?
It's possible, very possible.
If that's the case, I can't go see him.
Regardless of whether the Chaos Cultivator is him or his subordinates, it is fatal to fall prey to the Tao of Impermanence. Do not meet him alone unless absolutely necessary.
If he forced himself on me, I would simply let "Shan Zhongming" die directly in front of him, so that "Shan Zhongming"'s death would be reasonable.
"Don't pay attention to him. He sent someone to look for me again. He just said that I went to the other house to recuperate."
Shan Yongping looked at Xu Zhiqiong in surprise, how could this be his attitude towards King Lu?
He also wanted to give the Lord a few words of advice, but Xu Zhiqiong was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and turned around and left.
The night breeze blew, and Shan Yongping smelled some powdery smell on the master's body.
Shan Zhongming's body often smells of powder, but the fragrance of powder rubbed off a woman's body and the fragrance of powder applied on his face are not the same smell.
He secretly glanced at the master's face, but his skin was moister than before.
Seeing Xu Zhiqiong enter Han Di's bedroom, Shan Yongping listened outside the door for a while.
No movement!
In the past two days, whenever he had the opportunity, he listened outside the door, but there was no movement in the house.
I brought this stunning beauty back, has the master never touched her before?
Could it be that Master...
In the Royal Mansion, Hong Zhenkang was sitting in the study, looking at Lu Zuoqing and Ge Junxin.
"Is it really Shan Zhongming who asked Jiang Shengqun to go out of the city to capture the succubus?"
Lu Zuoqing said: "This matter was said by Jiang Shengqun himself."
"Where did he learn that a succubus appeared outside the city?"
Lu Zuoqing shook his head and said: "This matter is unknown."
Hong Zhenkang frowned and said, "I don't know this or that. What's the use of the imperial court keeping you here?"
Lu Zuoqing and Ge Junxin were senior officials from the first rank, but King Lu's tone sounded like he was lecturing two servants.
Lu Zuoqing didn't dare to say anything. Ge Junxin was more mature and quickly saluted: "Your Highness, Shan Shushang's arrest of the succubus may not have received accurate information. He himself has this hobby."
Shan Zhongming is good at catching succubus, which is known to everyone in the court. King Lu also knows about Shan Zhongming's hobby, but today he still couldn't help but ask one more question: "Shan Zhongming has many wives and concubines, but he captures so many women among the people." What to do?"
Ge Junxin tried his best to answer tactfully: "Although he has many wives and concubines, the things they can do are a bit ordinary after all. For unusual things, you have to find these enchantments to do them."
King Lu was very concerned: "What unusual things have you done?"
This question stunned Ge Junxin.
King Lu should know these things, so why do you have to get to the bottom of it today?
"That's right, it's just some dirty tricks. I really can't talk about it because of my humble position."
King Lu thought for a moment: "Has Shan Zhongming's temperament changed in recent days?"
Lu Zuoqing said: "In the past, Chief Shan was very fond of holding meetings (meetings), but these days his temper seems to have changed, and he has not held meetings for many days."
Changed temperament?
Hong Zhenkang nodded slightly and said: "Please take note. If Shan Zhongming behaves abnormally again, especially if it is related to the Charming Demon, please inform me immediately."
Lu Zuoqing and Ge Junxin left Prince Lu's Mansion.
Returning to the Shenji Division, the two of them sat in the carved building for a while. Lu Zuoqing asked in a low voice: "Why does King Lu think Shan Zhongming is abnormal? Capturing the enchantress is not an abnormal move for Shan Zhongming. ."
Ge Junxin pondered for a moment and said: "No matter what King Lu is thinking, I always feel that Shan Zhongming is not going to die soon, so we'd better stay away from him."
…
Xu Zhiqiong is currently checking the prisoners' files in the Diaolou.
There were more than 400 people imprisoned in the Shenji Si Yamen. Xu Zhiqiong thought about how many of these people could survive.
Nearly two hundred enchantments are all girls from good families. Even if they come from Fengchen, in Xu Zhiqiong's opinion, they are still girls from good families. They are not inferior to others. These people must live.
There are more than a hundred people who, relying on their cultivation, have committed murder and swindling goods. Xu Zhiqiong will review each of these people one by one. If the crime is proven, no one will survive.
There are still about a hundred or so people who are not guilty of any crime. The only crime is that they have some cultivation skills. These people also deserve to live.
Xu Zhiqiong carefully distinguished these three categories of people, then picked up the Shenji Division's roster and distinguished all those who should be killed and those who should be kept.
Not to mention, just reading the files is quite a laborious task. Xu Zhiqiong looked tired and touched his cheek. It didn't matter. It removed a lot of makeup.
When I looked in the mirror, the plum blossoms on my face were revealed.
Fortunately, Hong Huaxiao gave Xu Zhiqiong some makeup, and Xu Zhiqiong followed the skills he taught him and carefully applied makeup to cover the plum blossom.
His subordinate Li Jie stood at the door, smelled the fragrance of powder, and secretly glanced into the main hall.
Li Jie's cheeks twitched when he saw the Master applying powder.
…
In a mansion in the south of Shenlin City, King Lu looked at the housekeeper Shan Yongping and said, "You said Shan Zhongming applied makeup?"
Shan Yongping said: "The scent of powder, I definitely smelled it right."
"You also said that he hasn't touched a woman in a few days?"
"He brought back a woman named Lu Qiao'er from outside. She is indeed pretty, but he has never touched her and has never been close to any of the ladies."
