Liao Zhai Great Kind People

Chapter 36 I Want to Kill His Nine Clans
late at night.

Inside the palace, a group of guards surrounded Yan Feng, who was wearing heavy makeup and dressed as a court lady, with a deep fear on his face, and the weapons in his hands trembled slightly because of fear.

A guard stared wide-eyed and asked in a trembling voice, "Boss, what kind of monster is this?"

The guard commander looked at Yan Feng, his throat rolled, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "How the hell do I know, it looks very fierce..."

Yan Feng looked hopeless, thinking that he was really a stick.

Why did I agree to Zhang Xiu, once again disguised as a woman...

During the day, Zhang Xiu told him about the monsters in the palace, and sincerely invited him to come to the palace to cast down demons.

Now it's all right, not only is she dressing up as a woman again, but she's also surrounded by people.

Pity him for the famous name of Yan Feng I... oh, it seems to be gone long ago, that's all right.

Looking at the group of guards who were timid and afraid to go forward, Yan Feng forced a calm expression and explained: "You don't need to be nervous, I was invited by the Queen Mother to catch the demon."

The commander of the guards was startled when he heard the words, then opened his tiger eyes, and shouted sharply: "Bold monster, you are still talking nonsense here when you are about to die! Do you think I am a fool? The queen mother is so wise, how could she invite a monster to the palace to catch monsters?" !"

"What am I..."

Yan Feng slapped the sword box angrily, and a white horse flew out, landing on the forehead of the commander of the guards: "Tell me again who is the monster!"

The commander of the guards looked at the flying sword resting between his eyebrows, and was frightened out of his wits. He quickly changed his mind and said, "Hero, you have something to say! You said you were invited by the empress dowager, but what proof do you have?"

Yan Feng raised his sword finger, called Fei Jian back, and said: "You can go to Zhang Xiu, he is the one who brought me into the palace."

The commander of the guards heaved a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, and said to a eunuch: "Eunuch Li, go to the side hall where the maids live and wake up Mr. Zhang."

Yan Feng: "??!!"

I worked so hard at night, disguised as a woman and came to catch demons, but you ran to the place where the palace maid lived to sleep? !

Is there still a king's law!

The more Yan Feng thought about it, the more angry he became, and he said to the commander of the guards: "Take me there directly, I also want to sleep with the palace maid... Bah, I want to reprimand Zhang Xiu in person!"

Commander of the guards: "..."

You have spoken your mind!
Of course the commander of the guards did not dare to take Yan Feng to the place where the maid lived, and asked the eunuch to invite the sleepy Zhang Xiu to explain the matter clearly.

When Zhang Xiu saw Yan Feng, she suddenly woke up with a jolt, and said in horror: "What monster!"

As soon as the words came out, the guards immediately became nervous again, and one after another clenched their weapons tightly again.

Yan Feng said angrily: "Are you sleepy, you don't even know me?"

Zhang Xiu chuckled, waved to the guard in front of him, and said, "Everyone leave, this is the sword fairy I invited to catch demons!"

Hearing Zhang Xiu's confirmation, the commander of the guards finally breathed a sigh of relief, and asked people to put away their weapons, leaving that Eunuch Li to accompany him, so as to avoid any further misunderstandings.

After the guards walked away, Yan Feng looked at Zhang Xiu quietly: "Are the maids beautiful?"

Zhang Xiu rolled her eyes and said, "I'm here to investigate the case, so I don't have the time to see if they are pretty."

Only then did Yan Feng feel more balanced, his expression became serious, and he asked, "What have you found?"

Zhang Xiu nodded: "I have found some clues. Before the maids disappeared, they woke up once in the middle of the night. They seemed to be bitten by mosquitoes. They scratched non-stop after getting up."

"When they went out to use the toilet, they never came back."

Yan Feng frowned, and said: "There is another matter, such an important clue, why didn't they mention it before."

Zhang Xiu laughed and explained: "They are in the palace, and they are serving people like concubines and princesses. If they are not careful, they will die without a place to bury them. Be careful in what you do and say. It's none of your business. Who dares to talk too much."

Yan Feng asked curiously: "Then how did you ask?"

Zhang Xiu smiled slightly: "It's not too difficult. They are actually very simple-minded. I wrote a few family letters for them, and they told me. Later, I was too tired to write, so I fell asleep on the table. "

Hearing this, Yan Feng sighed slightly: "Oh, these maids are also poor people."

Zhang Xiu nodded: "That's right, so this monster that harmed the maid must be caught! According to my speculation, this monster is most likely a blood-sucking bug that becomes a spirit, or a monster such as a mosquito spirit. Just now I was fascinated by it in my sleep. I thought of a way in a daze, maybe I can try it.”

Yan Feng regained his energy immediately, and asked: "What method?"

Zhang Xiu slowly took out a fire folder: "Mosquitoes are afraid of smoke and fire, as long as we set fire to the palace, the monsters will definitely be smoked out!"

Yan Feng: "@#￥%￥#@..."

My appearance has been seen by so many people just now, even if I run now, I am afraid it will be too late...

Half an hour later, all the concubines, princes and princesses in the palace were choked awake by the thick smoke. Seeing the smoky scene in front of them, they all turned pale with shock and ran outside in disheveled clothes.

The result can be imagined, the more they ran outside, the more smoke they found, and finally ran around in a hurry, and the whole palace became a mess.

The emperor was also woken up by the thick smoke in his sleep, covered his mouth and nose with a wet cloth, and said angrily: "Where did the fire start, cough cough... Li Jinzhong, send someone to put out the fire and catch the culprit!" Stop, I want to kill his nine clans!"

Li Jinzhong, the Chief Eunuch of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, was full of embarrassment, hesitating for a long time and said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is not possible, this fire was set off by the Empress Dowager..."

"Queen??"

Uh, it seems that she really cannot be punished by the Nine Clans...

The emperor's face was stunned, and he came back to his senses after a while, not daring to say anything: "Is the queen mother crazy, why do you want people to set fire to the palace?"

Li Jinzhong said: "Returning to Your Majesty, several maids died in the palace recently. The Empress Dowager thought it was the work of evildoers, so she specially invited two masters to catch the monsters. They were the two who set the fire."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, they didn't set fire to the palace, they just lit bundles of wet firewood to make some smoke."

The emperor was full of anger, and said angrily: "This is the first time I've heard of such an expert in catching monsters. Go and ask them how long the smoke will last!"

Li Jinzhong showed a strange expression mixed with fear, and forced a smile: "The old slave has already asked, and that Mr. Zhang said that when his bacon is ready, the smoke will almost stop. ..."

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then furiously said: "He still has the mind to roast bacon?! Where did this charlatan come from? Arrest him, and I will punish his nine clans!"

Li Jinzhong was silent for a while, lowered his head and dared not look at the emperor, and whispered: "Your Majesty, you just met that Mr. Zhang a few days ago. He is... the younger brother of the imperial concubine!"

Emperor: "@#￥%￥#@..."

So... I am in this nine clans again? !
