After the hero goes crazy

Chapter 219 Not Dead

Chapter 219 Not Dead

The man had slightly white temples and a beardless face.

He was wearing a purple official robe and a pure black cloak.

A pair of eyes were slightly curved in a smile, a slight slit was exposed on the lips, the white teeth were faintly visible, and some powder was applied on the cheeks. It was Cheng Fuyun who Yao Shouning had met once on the day when the Xicheng case happened.

At this time, seeing Yao Shouning being helped into the courtyard, Cheng Fuyun held the tea bowl, took two sips of tea, then passed the tea bowl to the person beside him, and raised his hands very delicately, with the index and middle fingers together, each Holding a strand of hair hanging down on his chest, he smoothed it out, and then said:

"Second Miss Yao still remember me?"

He was smiling, his eyes were like a mature fox, with prying eyes, extremely dangerous.

Yao Shouning only touched the ground with his toes, and was supported by Qing Yuan and Dong Kui to come in. Before stepping into the gate, he nodded when he heard Cheng Fuyun's words.

Before she could speak, her eyes had already fallen into the room.

The moment everyone entered the room, everyone had already turned their heads.

In addition to familiar faces such as Mrs. Liu and Madam Cao, Su Miaozhen was also there.

There were six or seven people sitting in the room, one of the chairs was vacant, and among the other seven people, six of them were wearing red official robes, each of them was painted with paint, obviously they were the servants of Zhenmensi.

And behind these servants, there are also a few demon-suppressing envoys with big swords on their waists, big arms and round waists, and they look fierce!

The town magic department set up in Daqing has many subdivided official positions, just like a small yamen.

But the demon emissary is just like the officials in the magic department, all of them are powerful and extraordinary in martial arts, under the command of the servants, what they do is bloody.

Because the Daqing Dynasty has not heard of any evil spirits in the past few hundred years, no matter whether it is an internal servant or a demon emissary in the Zhenmagic Department, it is ordinary people who catch most of them.

Especially the demon envoys, many of them were born in the street. After entering the officialdom and becoming officials, they still kept a lot of idlers.

These people blackmailed the people and did all kinds of illegal activities, but they were secretly protected by the town magician, and provided information from the market to these town demon envoys.

Whether it is a high-ranking official or a commoner, for a while, even if they whispered a few words of dissatisfaction with the court in private, they would be learned by the people of the town magic department, and then they would be arrested and tortured, causing panic for a while .

It wasn't until later that many court officials finally couldn't bear it anymore and jointly wrote a letter to Emperor Shenqi. The matter became very noisy and finally subsided.

But since then, this bad habit of privately supervising the people and officials has turned from the dark to the clear, so that many people are cautious when speaking at home, fearing that the magic town will come to the door.

In the town of magic, the servants have a sinister and cruel personality, and most of the town demon envoys are from rogue backgrounds, and they act viciously and cruelly, which is also the reason why the town of magic is notorious.

Today, the Department of Demon Suppression is led by Cheng Fuyun, the deputy supervisor, and they have brought so many demon suppression envoys, which shows that they probably want to do something big.

No wonder Mrs. Liu couldn't bear it anymore, and had no choice but to order Yao Ruoyun to call her daughter who had just woken up.

Yao Wanning's heart sank, she was very disturbed, but she didn't dare to show it.

On the other side, Yao Shouning didn't know what was going on in her sister's heart. Her gaze fell to the top position on the left, she was nodding for a while, and then exclaimed:
"Chen Taiwei, you really are not dead!"

Her words surprised everyone.

"Bold!" The demon emissary who was standing behind the servants of the town magic department reacted very quickly. Hearing this, he immediately drank with a big knife on his waist and sternly.

"Bold~" The next cry came from Cheng Fuyun who was arranging his hair with a smile on his face.

He was stunned for a while when he heard Yao Shouning's words at first, and then he was startled awake by the angry shout of his subordinates, and in a blink of an eye, the voice was soft, and he also yelled.

It's just that this person was deep in thought, and when he spoke, his eyes slowly scanned the room, and finally fell on Yao Shouning.

That's why Yao Shouning couldn't tell whether he was scolding himself or those demon-suppressing envoys who spoke rashly when he said 'bold'.

Liu's eyes were surprised, followed her daughter's attention, and fell to the first place on the left.

There was a young man sitting there, with a refined and handsome appearance, about thirty years old, wearing a slightly thin Tsing Yi, mixed among the people from the Zhenmagic Division wearing red, purple and black official robes, looking Very special.

At the beginning, Liu Shi also had doubts about the identity of this person.

His companions with Zhenmagus didn't look like Zhenmagsi's people, but Cheng Fuyun, who came with him, seemed to be very afraid of him.

At this moment, after hearing her daughter call out her name, she realized that it was Chen Taiwei!

In the Daqing Dynasty, the name of Chen Taiwei was known all over the world.

He is a Taoist priest of unknown origin. He entered the capital of the gods more than ten years ago and was deeply trusted by Emperor Shenqi.

The current emperor built a Taoist temple for him in the inner city of Shendu, named "Daming Palace", for him to sit and practice on weekdays, and recruited dozens of Taoist boys and Taoists to serve him.

But this Taoist doesn't value these fame and wealth, but makes people open the "Daming Palace" for common people to come and go to worship gods and offer incense, while he himself often sees the head and sees the end.

As a result, when many people in Shendu mentioned the name 'Chen Taiwei', they only felt thunderous, but most of them were not familiar with him.

Although it has been more than ten years since Mrs. Liu followed her husband to take office in Shendu, she does not believe in ghosts and gods, nor does she have any reverence for the high-status Taoist priests of the Daqing Dynasty.

The 'Qingfeng Temple' and 'Daming Palace' in Shendu City are both well-known Taoist temples, but she has never been there.

For a person like Chen Taiwei, he has only heard of his name, and has never seen his real person.

It's just that Mrs. Liu never dreamed that the rumored Chen Taiwei would be a very young looking man, not even a few years younger than herself.

"You are Chen Taiwei!" Liu looked the man in green up and down, and exchanged glances with Yao Ruoyun and Yao Wanning, all three of them were puzzled.

But the most surprising thing was that Yao Shouning called out the man's identity in one go.

Chen Taiwei had a smile on her face, clasped her hands on her body, and was originally sitting extremely stable.

The moment Yao Shouning and the others came in, he followed the crowd and turned his head, but when he heard Yao Shouning speak, his pupils shrank, and the smile on his face disappeared completely.

He has a handsome appearance and an elegant demeanor, and he has a sense of refinement when he looks at him, and his smile makes people feel good.

But now, after the smile disappeared, there seemed to be a dark tide in his eyes, his eyes became sharp, and his expression made people shudder—as if he had been touched by the scales.

Although Yao Shouning's strength was suppressed and he lost the ability to predict and sense, but when he saw the change in Chen Taiwei's expression, he was keenly aware of the murderous aura coming from him.

She was a little dazed and froze for a while.

A rare illness made her not as sharp as usual, and after a few breaths, she realized that something was wrong with Chen Taiwei's behavior.

This is not the first time the two have met.

The first time they met was yesterday, when she and Lu Zhi were fighting in the carriage.

At that time, when Lu Zhi saw him, he raised his sword and slashed. Could it be because of this reason that the two formed a grudge, which made him look murderous when he saw him now?
Apart from this origin, this is the second time the two have met.

Chen Taiwei came with the people from Zhenmagus, and Yao Wanning said that the timing of the Zhenmagsi's appearance was strange.

As soon as the news of the appearance of a demon in Dai Wang's underground palace came to light, people from Zhenma Division came to the door every few days.

Chen Taiwei came all the way with the people from Zhenma Division, could it be that he is doubting himself?
Lu Zhi had reminded her that this person was very dangerous and told her to be more careful.

Yao Shouning was thinking about something in his heart, and was exhausted for a while, sweating all over, and feeling weaker and weaker.

"mother……"

She called out to Liu Shi lightly, and then gasped for breath.

In this way, everyone in the room could see that she was indeed seriously ill.

Mrs. Liu didn't care about the people from the Zhenma Division, and stepped forward to hug her daughter with some distress. After hugging her tightly, she reached out to touch her forehead.

As soon as the palm touched the flesh, it felt extremely hot.

"You have also seen that my daughter is really sick, and I didn't mean to lie."

Liu Shi sighed, feeling exhausted, unwilling to deal with these people in front of her, but had to force herself, trying to send them out:
"My daughter has a high fever and has been in a coma for several days. A doctor has been invited at home. All adults will know after checking."

"I--"

Cheng Fuyun narrowed his eyes with a smile, and was about to speak, but Chen Taiwei raised his finger slightly. He noticed this little movement, and shut up knowingly, laughed twice, and then sat back to his original position.

"What did Second Miss Yao mean?"

The room was silent for a while, and the young Taoist stared at Yao Shouning for a while, and then spoke slowly.

This person is really strange.

When he is not talking, his sense of presence is extremely low. He obviously has an extraordinary temperament and looks handsome, but when he sits there, when he is silent, he is not noticeable, like a table, a chair, a cup of tea, An ordinary ornament.

But when he spoke, it was hard to ignore, especially when he looked at Yao Shouning, he seemed to be full of aura, which made people tremble and couldn't afford the courage to confront him.

Yao Shouning was so sick that he was groggy and couldn't feel this kind of pressure. After Liu Shi helped her sit on the chair, he felt that the gaze behind her seemed to be real, making her restless.

"Shou Ning, Shou Ning?"

She called her daughter twice, and saw that Yao Shouning's cheeks were burning bright red, and his breath seemed to be scorching hot.

People from Zhenmagic Division came to the door one after another to find trouble. The Xicheng case had nothing to do with Yao Shouning. She had already said that she could go back with Zhenmagic Division, but these people insisted on looking for Yao Shouning.

The more Liu thought about it, the angrier she became, and when she noticed that Chen Taiwei's eyes were not friendly, she became even more annoyed by this behavior.

But in front of her children, her husband didn't come back, so she had no choice but to suppress the anger, called her daughter twice, and asked her:
"How did you know this Daoist Chen?"

Chen Taiwei has a special status, and today Emperor Shenqi treats him with extra courtesy, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty all respectfully refer to him as 'Xianchang'.

But Liu Shi was bored with him, and her tone was not polite when she mentioned him.

"Yesterday." Yao Shouning responded.

Liu Shi was surprised and said:
"Yesterday?"

"Mom, have you forgotten?"

Yao Wanning on the side heard this and thought of something:

"When Shouning went home a few days ago, he said that he met a Taoist priest on the way."

Liu Shi also thought of this incident, and felt that it was an astonishing coincidence.

"When we were traveling yesterday, we met a Taoist priest..." She was so dizzy that she almost exposed the identity of the prince in a moment of inattention, so she quickly changed the words:
"Miss Zhu suspected that he was blocking the carriage, so she raised her sword and slashed at him in anger."

She was so sick that she couldn't even tell the time, but fortunately, after the incident, everyone understood the reason why she recognized Chen Taiwei - the prince must have told her.

"..." Yao Ruoyun heard clearly from the side, took a deep breath, and subconsciously went to look at Liu Shi.

Seeing Liu's smiling face, as if she didn't realize her daughter's slip of the tongue, she listened carefully to what she continued:

"After that sword slashed out, the person disappeared. I thought the son had killed someone."

When Su Miaozhen heard this, she clenched her teeth angrily, clasped her hands and twisted vigorously.

"Not the prince."

Yao Wanning corrected her younger sister patiently, and wiped her sweat with a handkerchief:

"You see, you're sick and confused, it's Miss Zhu."

"Oh, that's right, Miss Zhu."

Yao Shouning really broke out in a cold sweat. He looked up at his mother, but saw Liu Shi pretending not to hear, nodded:

"I see."

Sitting on the side, Chen Taiwei's tense expression slightly relaxed, but there was still a look of vigilance in those pupils, as if he had completely believed Yao Shouning's words.

"Have you finished asking the fairy elder?"

Cheng Fuyun hunched over, with a flattering smile on his face, and asked a question.

Chen Taiwei was not so polite to him, his expression returned to indifference, and he nodded coldly.

Facing the frightening Zhenmusi, he didn't seem to be afraid at all.

Cheng Fuyun was not angry, and laughed twice to himself.

His voice was a little sharp, which made people feel a little uncomfortable, but he didn't care. Instead, he picked up an orchid with his fingers, and then the corners of his mouth drooped, his smiling eyes burst into light, and he asked in a sinister voice:
"Second Miss Yao, we are here on the emperor's order to investigate the murder incident in Xicheng that day."

He was smiling all over his face before, nodding and bowing in front of Chen Taiwei, but now he suddenly turned his face, his personality was volatile, he seemed a little crazy.

"On the day of the Xicheng incident, the carriage that the Su brothers and sisters were riding in suddenly went mad and slammed into the city, driving Zhang Qiao crazy and stabbing people with a knife."

Cheng Fuyun was not a good person, so he briefly recounted what happened that day:
"It so happened that the only son of the eldest princess returned to the city and killed Zhang Qiao with a sword."

After the case happened, Su Miaozhen's siblings were arrested and imprisoned for a period of time as the parties concerned, but Yao Shouning did not get into any trouble. This was the first time she faced the government's inquiry.

She was not very old, and she should have been nervous and afraid when faced with someone like Cheng Fuyun's persecution.

But the disaster she and the eldest son caused in the Dai Palace was even greater, so when she heard Cheng Fuyun mention the Xicheng case, Yao Shouning was calm, as if what he was facing was just a trivial matter.

"Ah."

She nodded weakly and responded.

"Very good." Cheng Fuyun smiled.

He put on lip balm, his face was white, his lips were as red as blood, against the white teeth, not only did he not look good under the light, but it was rather creepy.

"After that, someone in the general's mansion looked for his son in the middle of the night, and then there was a scene of snakes." He said with a smile:

"Let's remember that when the murder case happened during the day, Luo Ziwen offered a reward. Someone mentioned that Zhang Qiao had looked for his mother before he died?"

He was talking about the case in Xicheng, but Yao Shouning's thoughts had already diverged, and he felt a little strange that this deputy supervisor of the Zhenmagic Division seemed to know Shizi's long-term follower, and even remembered Luo Ziwen's name.

"Second Miss Yao?"

Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Cheng Fuyun couldn't help calling her.

Yao Shouning came back to his senses and nodded again:
"Correct."

"What is Second Miss thinking?" Cheng Fuyun asked her with a smile.

She tilted her head and smiled slightly, without hiding it, and said:
"I was thinking, how did my father-in-law know Brother Luo?"

Such words were said at this time, with a hint of innocence and cuteness, which dispelled the tense atmosphere of the Yao family due to the arrival of the town magician.
