Tian Sheng Monster Hunting

Chapter 59 Rumors
This Yushufang Duan Yuzhi came every day, and the recent ones are indeed a little guilty. Since returning from Luzhou, none of these demon cases have been solved.

Since he came in, he had been standing there for half a stick of incense, and Emperor Zhao still stood in front of the desk writing without raising his head. Looking at the speed at which he swiped the pen, he could guess how sloppy the writing was and how confused his thoughts were.

He lowered his head slightly, it seemed that Emperor Zhao was going to make trouble for him today, so he couldn't help but let out an inaudible sigh.

Emperor Zhao raised his head slightly, "Duan Qing, I went to Lao Wu's residence today."

"Yes, my lord."

He has a pair of tiger eyes burning, and a smile on his face, "Gu is very pleased, Duan Qing has become more active recently. In the past, I seemed to only care about official business. I was afraid that you would be too closed. Party."

He blamed himself for being in close contact with the prince.

"Your Majesty, I just happened to be free. I heard from the female family members of the mansion that the Fifth Prince's Qushui Liu Cup banquet was extremely elegant. I couldn't resist the female family members wanting to watch it, so I just dropped in to join in the fun."

Emperor Zhao looked at him meaningfully, and said, "It seems that Duan Qing treats Madam well."

Duan Yuzhi laughed dryly.

"You have also been in court for many years, and some of your contacts are normal."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I went today and found that I really don't understand poetry and find it very boring. I think I won't attend this kind of gathering again in the future."

Emperor Zhao nodded, paused for a moment and continued.

"What do you think of Duan Qing's death?"

"Returning to the Holy Lord, I have already found out on the spot that Feng Duan also died of a cat demon."

"Oh?"

Emperor Zhao was used to seeing it, "Where is the cat demon so bold to do evil, the lonely prince and minister, it kills as soon as it wants, it seems to be able to come and go freely in all corners of the Tiansheng Dynasty, it seems that our human race It's like a joke."

"My lord, it's my incompetence. I searched the demon slaves for two months earlier, but I didn't find a single monster. I didn't expect to cause trouble with cat demons so soon. I really failed my duty."

"Duan Qing, don't blame yourself. You are not omnipotent. The burden I have placed on you these years is too heavy."

Duan Yuzhi understood the deep meaning of this, "I am sorry for Your Highness Long En."

Emperor Zhao took a deep look at him, as if he wanted to see through him through this look.

"I don't want to blame you. The crown prince is dead, and it is the critical moment of the battle for the position in the court. The current situation is already turbulent, and the hearts of all the officials are not in harmony. And since the monster clan appeared a year ago, the scourge has not yet returned." As time goes on, there are even rumors among the people that there are people in the court who raise demon slaves... Whether this is true or not, everyone is in jeopardy, consuming people's hearts, this situation is very dangerous, can Duan Qing understand?"

"Of course the minister understands."

"It's good to understand. If this is true, it should be the most troublesome thing for you and me as politicians. It's okay for the monster to be separated from people. If someone really conspires with the monster and deliberately causes trouble, the disaster will be great. As a monster catcher, Duan Qing should know better than Gu..."

Duan Yuzhi nodded, "The Holy Majesty said so."

He finally put down his pen, "Gu has made up his mind, please ask Prime Minister Zuo to come out of the mountain, and from now on, you will be a good assistant, assist Prime Minister Zuo to investigate all the weird things, and return Tiansheng to a clear day."

He was really stunned now, at this moment, he finally thought of what Sheng Yang was going to do, what she had to do was to lure the left minister behind her out of the mountain.

Today, the warmth is still in his heart. He is worried that he won't be able to reach Prime Minister Zuo. Prime Minister Zuo galloped through the court for two dynasties.

And among the two of them, what kind of role should I play...

"Duan Qing," seeing him thoughtful, Emperor Zhao said a little displeased, "I remember that when Sheng Feiyu had an accident, he entrusted you to find a good son-in-law for Sheng Yang. Now almost a year has passed, how did you find it?"

Duan Yuzhi's heart trembled, and he was lucky enough to think that Emperor Zhao had forgotten about it...

"It seems that there is nothing to do." Emperor Zhao glanced at him with some dissatisfaction, "Duan Qing should understand that there are some things that you know you can't do, so you should not do them, and some things that you should do, you must do your best."

Duan Yuzhi heard the warning in his words, and bowed with displeasure in his heart, "What the Holy Majesty taught is true."

"This matter cannot be delayed any longer. If there is no result after half a month, I will personally select a son-in-law for Sheng Yang."

After coming out of the palace, it was already dark, a round and a half moon hung high, and there were some merchants and shops on Yongle Street, which were quite lively. Duan Yuzhi’s carriage back home walked slowly, hesitating like its owner. He wandered around the mansion for a long time.

The carriage moved forward a few steps, as if it had figured out something, but after ten steps, it turned the horse's head around, and the horse's hooves sounded rapidly, and it gradually moved away towards Dali Temple.

And in the princess mansion, Song Yi, who came to the palace to take up his post today, has already told His Royal Highness that the Holy Majesty is going to recruit a son-in-law for the princess.

Seeing the princess's dark face, Song Yi said cautiously, "Your Highness, do you want me to write to call Brother Yun back..."

Sheng Yang glanced at him and smiled helplessly, "Yun Yang and I only have friendship, why do you talk about him every day by my side, it's useless!"

"Your Highness, Brother Yun is infatuated with you. I have been waiting for you for 20 years! I am moved by this feeling. If Your Highness really wants to marry the husband-in-law specified by the Holy Majesty, it is better to marry Brother Yun. At least you know the root and the bottom. Since people can be friends, it means that they share the same interests, and life will definitely be much better in the future than with people they don't know... Besides, if the Holy Majesty points out someone like Sheng Feiyu to His Highness, wouldn't the princess want to be with that kind of person again in vain? Wasting time on the body, and making a fuss."

When mentioning Sheng Feiyu, Song Yi still looked extremely disgusted.

Sheng Yang admitted that what Song Yi said was not unreasonable, and she was even shaken for a moment.

If you really have to marry one, wouldn't it be better to marry Yun Yang who loves you deeply...

But she denied it in her heart. She and Yun Yang had been together for a long time when they were young, and she had always treated Yun Yang like an elder brother. It is already extremely unfair to him to be unable to respond to his friendship, and even deliberately alienate him because of this.

If I marry him again for my own selfishness, but I can't give him affection, wouldn't I be more sorry for him for the rest of my life...

Forget it, love affairs have never been the most important thing to me, and it's not worth feeling sad, just take one step at a time...

She heard movement at the door, and Wen Ming hurried into the yard.

"Your Highness, just now the Taifu left a souvenir from the vendor who passed by the door."

Sheng Yang thought he would talk about recruiting a son-in-law, but when he opened it, he saw that it said, "The Prime Minister Zuo has appeared, hope the moon will be cherished, there is something to discuss, don't take risks, ten thousand, ten thousand."

She curled her lips and smiled, Duan Yuzhi still understood herself.

Song Yi on the other side seemed quite happy to see His Highness reading the letter from Grand Tutor Duan. He thought to himself that this married man used some means to abduct His Highness, and he was very anxious for Yun Yang. Sneaking back into the room, I started writing in a flash, Brother Yun, Brother Yun, I, Song Yi, was entrusted by you to the manor to protect His Highness, and I was worried about love affairs on behalf of you, an idiot. When you see the letter, you'd better come back to me as soon as possible. Unmarried men and women are unmarried, and I don't know what you are waiting for. Winning the princess is a matter of success or failure!

In Yongle Street, there was a lot of people's voices, so lively, the most talked about by passers-by was the recent secrets of the demon slaves and the battle for the heir.

When two inexplicable and very mysterious things happen at the same time, rumors can easily connect them.

The second prince is suspected of killing and abolishing the crown prince, and the fifth prince held a banquet and killed Shang Shuling. It seems that these two princes have their own splendor. According to the judgment of the jewelry store owner at the intersection, they should be engaged in a battle to seize the heir. dispute.

And the rouge seller on the road also vividly described it to the customers, "It's true that the royal family seizes the heir apparent, and the situation is really complicated. These two princes come and go, and they treat the life of the imperial court as a trifling matter!"

Not only this Yongle Street, but rumors are springing up like mushrooms after rain. Some things that sound outrageous, after word of mouth, become false and true.

For example, the people and ministers seem to have decided that the demon slave was raised by one of the two of them, and the purpose is to use the power of the demon clan to wipe out the other party and seize the reserve.

But within a few days, there was news of the death of the new governor of Luozhou from Luozhou.This person belonged to the Second Prince's faction. He had just been transferred from Pingyang, and died within a few days of sitting in his seat. It seemed that this time it was the Second Prince's turn again.

There was even a chess game in the Chunri Tower for this matter. The officials sent by the princes played chess, and some people who watched the excitement secretly opened bets, vowing to gamble to see who would have the last laugh.
