Chapter 252 Mrs. Song Guo (4000 words in two chapters)

Zhao Xun's concern moved the injured guards of Mrs. Song's mansion very much.

Logically speaking, it is difficult for little people like them to expect such care from the nobles.

But Zhao Xun was so heart-warming, he could even be called caring.

This made them feel flattered.

"Tell me about how that monster hurt people."

Zhao Xun did not urge, but asked slowly.

This undoubtedly eased the tension of the injured guards, allowing them to recall the night when the monsters attacked with a peaceful mind.

A well-built guard recalled: "My lord, we patrolled the mansion as usual that night, and we thought there was nothing unusual. But who would have thought that there would be a scream in the night sky suddenly. This made us very vigilant, and immediately Run in the direction of the sound."

The injured guard showed a terrified look on his face as he recalled, it was obvious that he was greatly stimulated at that time.

"Later when we came to the garden, we found a monster tearing a corpse. The corpse should belong to a servant in the mansion, and it had just been hunted and killed by it not long ago. Then we shouted loudly, hoping to attract more A lot of people lend a helping hand.”

The guard seemed to feel that he still had lingering fears, wiped off the cold sweat on his head, and said with a sad smile: "Maybe our shouting angered the monster, and the beast turned around and rushed towards us. We are practicing After practicing martial arts, he dodged it with a dodge. But then the monster was very flexible, and after some adjustments, it rushed towards us again. This time we were not so lucky, and one of them was thrown down first."

"Yes, yes, that monster is extremely powerful, and we are still no match for it together. In the end, the people from the Fuzhong Brigade arrived in time to finally drive the beast away. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous."

Another guard added in time.

"Master Zhao, that monster is not only very strong, but also very cunning. It jumped over the wall and ran away without any hesitation. We sent people to chase after it, but we couldn't catch up."

Zhao Xun nodded.

The descriptions of these injured guards are in line with Zhao Xun's existing cognition and judgment on monsters.

"It seems that it is indeed a monster. It's just why the monster suddenly invaded Mrs. Song's mansion?"

Zhao Xun seemed to be muttering to himself.

"I don't know. The monster has a strange temperament. God knows why it has the idea of ​​Mrs. Song."

A wounded guard complained.

To him, this is simply a disaster for no reason. If this person is unlucky, his teeth will be stuck in cold water, and it is not unusual to encounter monsters.

"You guys have a good rest, I won't bother you."

After Zhao Xun finished speaking, he turned and left.

He has now understood what he should know, and now he can leave on his own after saying hello to Mrs. Song Guo.

But when he came to Mrs. Song Guo, this noble lady who still had charm stepped up to Zhao Xun, grabbed Zhao Xun's hand and said, "Ming Yun, you have to help me catch this monster. People in my family are in panic because of this beast. If I can't capture and kill him, I won't feel at ease for a day."

Zhao Xun could understand Auntie's mood, but it was too sudden.

Anyway, give Zhao Xun some mental preparations, and besides, it's not appropriate to gossip in front of all the servants.

Zhao Xun quickly broke away from Mrs. Song Guo's hand, showing an embarrassed yet polite smile.

"Mrs. Song, don't worry. It's the responsibility of our bad people to search for monsters. I will definitely find out this hurtful monster and give Mrs. Song an explanation."

After saying that, Zhao Xun turned and left.

After leaving Mrs. Song's mansion, Zhao Xun went straight back to the villain's office.

To him the night was like a nightmare.

Not because of monsters, but because of Mrs. Song's performance.

Who would have thought that a middle-aged woman who was still related to him would directly grab Zhao Xun's hands in public, regardless of other people's feelings.
That's it.

Zhao Xun was powerless to complain, but he also knew not to get too distracted in this regard.

After all, searching for monsters is the most important thing right now.

"Ming Yun, these are the dossiers of Mrs. Song's residence in the past few days."

Jia Xingwen walked quickly, holding a stack of files in his hand.

"These are collected according to your request."

"Thank you."

"You don't need to compete too much with yourself. There are really few clues. It is not easy to find out the reason why the monsters invaded Mrs. Song's mansion in a short time. Let it take its course and take your time."

Jia Xingwen couldn't bear to see Zhao Xun's haggard look, so he sighed and patted Zhao Xun on the shoulder to persuade him.

In his opinion, Zhao Xun is good everywhere, but his temper is too strong.

The more complicated the situation is, the more Zhao Xun likes to put the responsibility on his own shoulders, which makes Jia Xingwen feel very guilty.

They should help Zhao Xun to share more.

Zhao Xun smiled to express his gratitude.He has not fully recovered from the nightmare just now, and said with a wry smile: "Although I know there is little hope, I still hope that I can try my best to find out the reason why the monster chose Mrs. Song's mansion to attack from this vast file. "

Zhao Xun was really curious as to why the monster chose Mrs. Song's mansion to attack.

Logically speaking, Mrs. Song Guo is not considered the top dignitary in Chang'an.

Not to mention the emperor and prince.

The rest are the princes and county kings.

In addition, there are dukes, marquises, and earls.

The rank of Mrs. Guo is probably the same as that of the Duke, but in fact it is far inferior.

Neither real power nor influence can be compared in the same breath.

From another point of view, is it the monster picking up soft persimmons?

Because Mrs. Song does not have as many practitioners as other dignitaries, so the monster thinks there is an opportunity?
Zhao Xun felt that the monster was actually testing.

There must be more than one monster hiding in Chang'an City.The monster also hopes that through this move, it can detect the defensive hollow area in Chang'an City, paving the way for subsequent attacks.

Of course, these are just Zhao Xun's conjectures, and there are too many to count.

Only when enough evidence has been obtained can he draw a conclusion.

And the evidence is hidden in the vast files, and Zhao Xun needs to find it by himself.

Zhao Xun started the crazy reading mode again.

Even if part of the voluminous dossier is extracted, it is still confusing for a while.

Zhao Xun did not give up, and continued to sort out one by one.

He believes that there will be a reason for everything, and there will be traces.

Since the monsters chose to attack Mrs. Song's mansion, they must have their reasons.

Zhao Xun watched it for several hours, and finally found clues in an inconspicuous record.

...

...

"Prince Yan's Mansion, the real key is here. Mrs. Song's Mansion is next to King Yan's Mansion."

Zhao Xun discovered the key!
Except for the prince's east palace which is located in the imperial city, all the residences of princes and dukes are outside the imperial city.

The monster sneaked into Mrs. Song's mansion seemingly casually, but in fact it was to test the overall defense of Changlefang.

Facts have proved that even Changlefang, where the dignitaries gather, is not worth mentioning without the imperial city restriction, and there are flaws everywhere.

So in the final analysis, it still depends on the defense situation of the noble mansion.

Of course, King Yan's Mansion has more guards than Mrs. Song's Mansion, and there are even many practitioners in charge.

But monsters can easily sneak into Mrs. Song's mansion, which is enough to prove that they can also sneak into Yan Wang's mansion.

As for the actions after sneaking into Prince Yan's mansion, that's another matter.

To capture a thief, you must first capture the king. Even monsters understand this truth.

When the two armies are facing each other, how can they interfere with the opponent to the greatest extent?

Naturally, it was the dignitaries who captured and killed the opponent.

If the target of the monster is only King Yan, Zhao Xun is really worried that the monster's appetite is not only that.

If the target of the monster is all the nobles in Chang'an City...

Zhao Xun couldn't imagine it.

If the dignitaries in Chang'an City are taken over by monsters, even if Chang'an City is not captured, it will be a great harvest for the monsters.

Of course, it would be the best if this could completely disrupt the arrangement of Chang'an dignitaries.

"No, I have to report this matter to Emperor Xianlong immediately."

Although Emperor Xianlong was not a son of man, Zhao Xun still had to report the situation in time.

Whether Emperor Xianlong responded or not was one thing, but whether Zhao Xun reported it or not was another.

Zhao Xun would not give Emperor Xianlong the opportunity to manipulate himself at will.

...

...

"It's unreasonable, it really is unreasonable!"

In the Zichen Hall of Daming Palace, Emperor Xianlong was very angry.

He threw away Zhao Xun's memorabilia, and roared at Zheng Jie, the internal servant standing beside him, "Look at it, look at it."

Zheng Jie carefully bent down to pick up the memorabilia thrown by Emperor Xianlong on the ground, and opened it to read it.

He just glanced at it, and was beyond surprised.

"Your Majesty...the monster's target is really King Yan..."

"I'm afraid it's more than that."

Emperor Xianlong sighed and said, "In my opinion, the real purpose of the monsters is the entire elite class in Chang'an. Zhao Xun's view is the same."

This was the result that Emperor Xianlong was most worried about.

To be honest, Emperor Xianlong would not feel distressed at all if the monsters killed only the common people in Chang'an City.

In his view, the common people are all leeks, and once a crop is cut, another crop will grow, and one crop after another.

After cutting a stubble, it will grow back again, very consciously.

"If that's the case, I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult."

Zheng Jie's face was a little heavy.

Even though he is a super cultivator, it is impossible to find out all the monsters hidden in Chang'an City in a short time.

Even Yuan Tiangang needs to give him enough time to do this.

"I just don't believe it. I want the supervisor to use his mind."

Zheng Jie's face froze when he heard this.

"Your Majesty... the Daguan Mind Technique needs to rely on the three large formations in Chang'an. It will take a lot of damage to use it once, and the gain outweighs the loss."

Although Zheng Jie's words were reasonable, Emperor Long didn't hear him.

"It has to be used even if the loss is large. I can't just watch the rich and powerful in Chang'an suffer this disaster."

From Emperor Xianlong's point of view, if a disaster really happened, it would not only be a family problem, but almost all the nobles would be affected.

This is something he can't accept anyway.

The common people are like leeks, they cut crop after crop.

But the rich and powerful are different.

The dignitaries are like a radish and a pit, and the absence of one will not make up for the vacancy in a short time.

Even if Emperor Xianlong forcibly simplified it, the effect would not be very good.

"But will Yuan Tiangang agree?"

"He has already agreed!"

Emperor Xianlong was a little excited, and he emphasized: "He said that he would help me when necessary, and now is the necessary time."

"If your majesty needs a servant, just ask, and this servant is willing to help your majesty."

"You stay in the palace, stay by my side."

Emperor Xianlong hesitated for a moment and said.

He was a little scared. He had been living in the palace all these years, living under the protection and protection of the formation and the prohibition. Emperor Xianlong always felt that he was safe.

Until the monsters sneaked into Chang'an City and wreaked havoc.

"According to the order."

Zheng Jie replied without hesitation.

No matter what orders Emperor Xianlong gave, Zheng Jie would obey them without hesitation.

...

...

After Zhao Xun's memorabilia was sent to the palace, it was like a mud cow entering the sea.

Zhao Xun was not in a hurry to know the meaning of the result.

For him, as long as he fulfilled his duties and let Emperor Xianlong know the situation in Chang'an City as soon as possible, it was enough.

As for what Emperor Xianlong thinks or looks at, it is not a question that Zhao Xun needs to consider.

"Ming Yun, there are people coming from the palace."

Just as Zhao Xun was slandering Emperor Xianlong, Jia Xingwen hurried over.

Hey, I couldn't hold back after all.

Emperor Xianlong, Emperor Xianlong, the promised Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, but his expression did not change.

"Okay, I'm going to take the order now."

Coincidentally, the eunuch Zhao Xun who came to pass the decree this time is very familiar with him, and he always met him when he was serving as an internal servant to supervise the file warehouse.

His surname is Yuan and his name is Yi. He is in his early thirties.Eunuch Yuan was different from Eunuch Cui, he had been in the palace for so long and had no chance of promotion, so he had to seize the opportunity when he finally went out to deliver an edict to make money.

"Master Zhao, His Majesty ordered you to thoroughly investigate the monsters in Chang'an City to ensure that the emperor's relatives are safe."

Um?This is gone?

Zhao Xun felt a little unbelievable.

This is too short.

"The minister accepts the order."

Zhao Xun respectfully accepted the decree, and then said insinuatingly: "Dare to ask Duke Yuan, what orders does your majesty have?"

"Our family doesn't know about this. Our family is just a messenger."

"Well... In that case, I would like to thank Eunuch Yuan."

As usual, Zhao Xun took out a golden melon seed and handed it to Yuan Yi.

"Grandpa Yuan took some tea."

"Haha, Mr. Zhao is really too polite."

Yuan Yi took over the golden melon seeds and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, our family should be respectful rather than obedient."

"By the way, if we say something more, His Majesty seems to be very angry. Mr. Zhao, you should be more careful."

Zhao Xun thought to himself that Emperor Xianlong would be a ghost if he was not angry.

This monster and the northern barbarians are going to ride on Emperor Xianlong's neck and shit.

If you were a person with a good temper, you wouldn't be able to bear it.

Emperor Xianlong was a guy who couldn't bear a little bit of grievance and was bound to take revenge, so naturally he wanted to vent his anger even more.

"Thank you, Eunuch Yuan, for your suggestion."

But these are all normal things in Zhao Xun's view.

He doesn't need to care so much, he just needs to be himself.
