Tian Sheng Monster Hunting

Chapter 17
Sheng Feiyu's death was like catkins flying in spring, the sky was white and gloomy yesterday, and when the night wind blew, even the news disappeared the next day without a trace.

The state of the world is cold, even if you are the prince of the country, you can only miss it for a day.

The prince went back and pondered carefully, what Sheng Yang said in front of the spirit is still a bit credible.One is that although Sheng Yang has been domineering and domineering for many years, he has been alone and has never participated in the political affairs of the court. The only motive is that Sheng Feiyu had a marriage contract with her, but in fact the marriage has been delayed for six years. Can you Cheng has two things to say, besides, with the degree of favor she has in front of her father, if she really wants to break the contract, just make up her mind to make a fuss, and there is no need to kill her; the second is that this Cen'er has served her for so many years However, during the period of dealing with the second man's mansion, she came to her to deliberately seduce her. Although she claimed to herself that Shengyang sent her to monitor, it was not completely credible. What if the second child sent her here?
It seems that this Cen'er is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and may even be a double-faced spy. Fortunately, I still miss her.

Does his younger sister Sheng Yang know about it... It's hard for him to judge.

But Sheng Yang knew how the prince was so easy to deceive. In a few days, when he thought about it carefully, at least Sheng Yang and the second prince would be judged to be in the same boat.

Seven days later, Dali Temple investigated Sheng Feiyu's death clearly, "The wound was caused by a poisoned dagger, and there were things missed by the demon clan around him when he died, so it was determined that he was killed by the demon clan."

Once the cause of death was announced, the whole city was in an uproar. After 12 years, the Yaozu unexpectedly made a comeback and killed the emperor's relatives.

Chi Yu hid at the end of the crowd watching the imperial list, and seeing the righteous indignation of the people discussing it, she really couldn't imagine what she had left behind on the scene. Could it be that Taifu Duan planted evidence at will in order to convict the Yaozu?

She wanted to ask Sheng Yang what her lover meant, but at this moment, Her Royal Highness the princess had already slipped thousands of miles away, and she sent them three days' journey. Slowly, she could almost catch up with him when they arrived at Beiguan. on them.

Sheng Yang was afraid that the prince would focus on him and leave the mess to the second prince. Three days ago, he asked the emperor for leave to go north with the excuse of "being in a bad mood and visiting friends", intending to go all the way north to Beiguan.

Most of the Prince's faction is around Pingyang, with huge power and deep roots. Most of them are old ministers, who are cautious in doing things, and it is difficult to find mistakes. In this intricate relationship, the biggest loophole should be outside Beijing, such as Hu Luan, the magistrate of Beiguan County.

Beiguan has a special terrain and has the right to do business with foreigners. Although it is only a county magistrate, it is a fat job.Hu Luan got this fat job thanks to his cousin Hu Yuan's introduction, and the kindness of Xian Zuoxiang and Zhen Guogong.And there is another important person in Beiguan, the treasurer of Wenxianglou, the cousin of Yu Jinshan, Minister of the Ministry of War, and the richest man in Luzhou, Yu Wanliang.

These two people gathered here, like a cornucopia, providing a steady stream of financial support for everyone in Pingyang, and one can imagine the benefits.

Sheng Yang has been traveling for three days, and he stops and stops on the road, not in a hurry, as if he is going out to relax.

The spring day in the north is late, and it is almost Qingming at this moment. The willows are just showing buds, there are red and green crabapples on the road, and paper kites occasionally pass by.

"Your Highness, today Dali Temple announced the news of the death of Duke Zhenguo's son, pointing to the Yaozu."

"Wen Ming, what do you think the Taifu means?"

"Teacher already knows the truth, it's already a concession to hide Miss Chi's identity and not report it."

Sheng Yang shook his head, "How could Yi Chiyu leave key evidence at the scene? He deliberately announced the murderer's identity as a monster."

"Taifu Duan's whole family died at the hands of the double-faced raccoon. It is only natural for him to hate monsters."

A trace of guilt suddenly appeared in Sheng Yang's heart. He had a blood feud with Yao, and he hated Yao to the extreme. She knew this all too well, but she never really considered his feelings when interacting with Chiyu...

"Your Highness, excuse me for talking too much, do you think Miss Chiyu seemed to be acting a little weird when she saw Taifu Duan that day?"

Looking back, Sheng Yang felt a little weird at the time. Chiyu seemed to think that Duan Yuzhi knew her, or hoped that he knew her.

"Chiyu's uncle, Chi Baicun, is a double-faced raccoon. Could it be that they are looking for the same person?"

Duan Yuzhi's family was originally a businessman who went to Beiguan. Not only that, this terrifying monster actually sucked the blood from all the corpses. When Duan Yuzhi saw his parents and brothers, he was already a few unrecognizable corpses.

Afterwards, he was raised by his grandmother until he was ten years old, and by the time his grandmother passed away, his family was destitute.In his heart he harbored the hatred for killing relatives and monsters, and wanted to rely on his own strength to make a living. He worshiped a third-rate monster catcher as his master, and was often beaten and scolded. Famous, and then appreciated by famous teachers, learned unique skills, and finally able to travel independently to earn a few copper coins for hunting monsters and eating a full meal.

Experienced and suffered a lot.

"Your Highness, this double-faced raccoon sounds really scary. It has two faces, so it can be hidden anywhere. It's just that I'm curious. Miss Chiyu is an ordinary cat demon, but she is related to the double-faced raccoon Chi Baicun. Why did he have a double-faced raccoon?"

"Chiyu mentioned that their clan was originally a double-faced raccoon. They used to be fierce and brutal, and they cultivated by drinking human blood. After they repaired with the human race, their patriarch made a rule not to hurt others. Since then, they have no human blood to help them practice, and they gradually fail to practice. Double-faced, he became an ordinary cat clan. But this Chibaishun secretly broke the ban and became double-faced by drinking human blood, with high mana, good at disguising, and doing all kinds of evil things."

"It turns out that the origin of this is so complicated... In this way, if the Honglu case was really committed by the double-faced raccoon back then, then Tai Tuan and we seem to have the same enemy."

Sheng Yang saw that Wen Ming lowered his head, but his eyes were watching his movements, knowing that he wanted to make peace with Duan Yuzhi for himself, but she didn't want to, and responded lightly:

"Teacher Duan is cautious and loyal. He has a teacher-student friendship with the former Prime Minister of the Left. He will not be an enemy of the Crown Prince. He is not the same as us."

As soon as the words fell, there was a faint sound of horseshoes in the distance, and the sound of hooves was urgent, and it sounded like they were on their way.

"Your Highness, there is a team behind."

Song Yi turned around, and the soldiers quickly lined up, ready to meet the enemy.

The sound of horseshoes was getting closer and closer, Song Yi opened his eyes and waited seriously, but found out that the person who came was an acquaintance, and immediately became happy.

"Your Highness, it is Master Duan Zi of Dali Temple!"

He beckoned to Duan Zi, and Duan Zi also responded enthusiastically, leading his army of about twenty soldiers to catch up with them in a hurry.

"Your Highness."

Duan Zi got off his horse and bowed.

"My lord Duan, you are not in Pingyang to settle the case, but to avenge your grievances for the son, why are you here?"

While Sheng Yang was speaking, he already thought of the reason for his coming.

"Your Highness, the monster race has re-emerged in chaos recently. The Taifu is worried that the road to Beiguan will be dangerous for you, so he ordered his ministers to lead troops to escort you all the way north."

Sheng Yang didn't reply immediately. Duan Yuzhi was not only afraid of the demon, but probably also afraid of the prince's actions, but what he said before the funeral that day came back to her mind.

The minister has a family now, and the princess has not yet left the cabinet. I am afraid that it will damage the princess's reputation, so it is better to keep a distance...

"No need, Wen Ming and Song Yi are enough for me. Master Duan should worry about Dali Temple. Go back and tell Grand Tutor Duan that I don't dare to bother you about Shengyang."

Duan Zi was dumbfounded, he didn't know what happened to the princess and the Taifu, he only knew that the two had a close relationship in the past, the Taifu asked him to come, and he hurried over after finishing the sentence in a hurry. The quarrel has passed on the microphone, but he can't stand the microphone, so hurry up and go back and forth for thousands of miles...

"Your Highness, the Taifu was worried about your safety, so he sent his minister here. The minister just finished his work the day before yesterday, so he was too late in a hurry. I hope His Highness will not blame you, and let the minister escort you to Beiguan."

"Since Mrs. Duan is worried, why don't you come by yourself?"

This made Duan Zi questionable, Mrs. Duan was quiet and strict, how could he know what he was thinking...

Cold sweat broke out in his heart, but he insisted on neither being humble nor overbearing, "The Taifu is busy with affairs, and I really can't get away."

"Oh, even if that's the case, you should go back and help him. Beiguan is the garrison of General Yun. How can this palace be in danger? Don't worry about it for the master."

Before Duan Zi could react, Sheng Yang waved his hand impatiently.

Wen Ming suddenly understood, and shouted, "Quicken your pace."

Duan Zi was in a daze watching Princess Shengyang and her party drift away, while Song Yi rode his horse and turned around to look at him helplessly, with complacency in his eyes.

"I'll go, Song Yi, you boy! How can I give the adults a job..."
