My Lady Is Not A Demon

Chapter 123 Unexpectedly making things difficult! (For subscription)

Time flies, and another five days have passed in a blink of an eye.

Qingyu County has rarely been peaceful for the past few days. Although some Charon continues to search the whereabouts of the snake demon, most of them have already left.

Including Black Tortoise and Vermillion Bird (at least never appeared again).

And Chen Mu had also removed his post as the head catcher in Qingyu County, and waited at home for the summons of the capital with peace of mind.

On the day of leaving office, Gao Yuanchun deliberately went to the restaurant with Chen Mu for a half-over.

This old man who had a bright future but was forced to be the county grandfather for 20 years because of the case of the civet cat prince, for the first time talked with Chen Mu as a friend.

“After my mentor was in prison, I thought I could go to death as generously as my mentor and other colleagues, but unfortunately I finally backed down…”

Gao Yuanchun smiled bitterly and sighed, “Once a person is afraid, it is very difficult to stand up. After a half-life as a tortoise, he feels that his own spine has long been unable to straighten up, and he is curled up even when he sleeps.”

Faced with the self-deprecating county grandfather, Chen Mu remained silent.

The other party is not an upright official, nor a local official with outstanding ability, but it is not a bad official in the eyes of the people.

At least for Gao Yuanchun, he is grateful from the heart.

“The Vermillion Bird Envoy stood in front of you that day, do you know what I was thinking?”

Gao Yuanchun sighed, “I didn’t think about anything. I was only afraid. You kid didn’t see me at the time. He couldn’t get up when he knelt on the ground. In the end, I was helped by Vermillion Bird…haha.”

Having said this, Gao Yuanchun himself laughed with joy, smiling with tears on his face.

His body crouched.

Always hump back.

Chen Mu added a drink and said, “My lord is not afraid.”

Gao Yuanchun waved his hand: “Mr. Ruan and I are classmates. Twenty years ago, he was even more frightened than me. He knelt in front of the Charon and was so scared that he disliked the Charon at the time, so I kept scolding him.

Every time I chat with him and play games, I scold him for being too useless. As for him, he didn’t respond, because he was afraid that Charon would hear it, but he just shrank his head.

But now he is going to enter the Metropolitan Procuratorate, facing the alchemy again, facing the emperor, facing the queen mother, and facing the ministers who suppressed the mentor back then.

It turns out that he has been forbearing and has never given up.

But I didn’t dare to take a step forward, so I was more than a thousand times more persuaded than him. ”

Gao Yuanchun raised the jug, raised his head and poured it wildly, letting the wine soak through his clothes.

“Chen Mu.”

Gao Yuanchun patted him on the shoulder, “Before I thought you were very smart, not just for handling cases, but for socializing, so I decided to push you out and give you a chance to enter the capital.

But when you killed Mu Erhe that incident, I regretted it again. After all, I still didn’t see you through, but unfortunately it was too late. ”

He has a complex expression and a sincere tone:

“But now I’m a little relieved. If you didn’t kill Na Mu Erhe, maybe one day, you will become like me.

I have lived my life in vain, letting down too many people.

The road in the future is up to your heart.

If you really encounter any trouble after arriving in the capital, you should go to Mr. Ruan, but he is cautious and whether he can help you depends on the situation. ”

“My lord, do you think I can still enter the Criminal Ministry?” Chen Mu asked.

Gao Yuanchun smiled bitterly and shook it: “I don’t know, it should have been foolproof, but unfortunately it happened to the princess. But in any case, you will definitely go to this capital. It depends on the people above if they decide.”

After drinking with the county grandfather, Chen Mu temporarily started Leisure Life.

There has been no news from the capital.

Chen Mu wasn’t in a hurry. During the day, she spent time with Niangzi Qingluo out for relaxation, and at night she accompany his former colleagues to drink and bid farewell.

Or go to Ju Chunlou to chat with Xue Caiqing to prevent this woman from suddenly thinking about it.

Wenmingren and Zhuge Fengchu went back early.

Yun Zhiyue did not leave. Most of the time, she wandered outside the courtyard of Chen Mu’s house. It was not good for Chen Mu to prevent ghost brides or snake monsters from appearing.

Sometimes Chen Mu would take her into the house to party and play gobang or something.

Everyone had fun and was quite cozy.

There is also an episode.

Hei Ling, the guard of Vermillion Bird Church, once took someone to the Qin Academy to investigate the ‘nameless’ Daoist, but there was no movement after the investigation, and he left Qingyu County the next day.

This made Chen Mu, who was a little nervous, secretly relieved.

It was the next day that the lady asked him if he knew the Daoist. Chen Mu naturally opened his eyes and said nonsense, saying that he had met on the boat by chance.

Bai Xianyu still believed her husband’s lies.

At the same time she was also a little distressed.

The clue of the nameless Daoist was broken when he arrived at the husband. It is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack to continue searching, so he can only collect information slowly.

Or wait for the next time the nameless Daoist writes a poem to expose own position.

Of course, no one would doubt that Chen Mu is an anonymous Daoist.

Including Bai Xianyu herself.

After all, those two poems are too strong, and it is already smoke from the ancestors to write a sentence with Chen Mu’s cultural level….

The next day, the sky was a little gloomy.

The continuous spring rain fell like fine cow hair, falling on the dirt path shaded by the green grass, glowing with a faint light.

In the rain and fog, a rather luxurious carriage approached slowly and stopped in front of Chen Mu’s house.

It attracted the attention of some pedestrians.

From the carriage came an eunuch wearing a scale robe and official boots, holding a long golden jade box in his hand.

Hearing the movement, Chen Mu trot out of the hall quickly.

Bai Xianyu and Qingluo followed closely behind.

After seeing the person coming, Chen Mu was taken aback. This eunuch was not someone else, but the honorable father-in-law who had met before.

The opposing party worked as the Superintendent of Lies and was a celebrity by his Majesty’s side.

Last time, he came to deliver the emperor’s orally.

“Chen catches the head, let’s meet again.”

Grandpa Ronggong smiled.

Chen Mu had a lot of doubts in his mind, but there was a smile on his face: “Chen Mu has seen Father Ronggong in a humble position.”

“The case of Chen Cattou was like a god. It was only a few days before the case of Ju Chunlou was cracked. After reading the file, Your Majesty admired Chen Cattou a lot.”

Rong Gonggong smiled brightly and patted Chen Mu’s shoulder affectionately.

This made Chen Mu more confused.

Logically speaking, because of the princess, he and the emperor were in a stalemate, and the other party couldn’t get enthusiasm.

Why suddenly someone came to praise me again.

“Oh? This is the insider of Chen Tautou, he is really natural and beautiful, the country is beautiful, and Chen Tautou is so blessed.”

Ronggong’s gaze fell on Bai Xianyu, pretending to be surprised and envy.

But the bottom of his eyes flashed with spirits.

Bai Xianyu looked indifferent, with a slender waist and flexed lightly.

Qingluo, who followed Shili, secretly vomited.

Everyone knows it, what a stranger to pretend. This dead eunuch was given a whip by Big sis the year before, so he wouldn’t deliberately find fault.

Thinking of this, Qingluo raised her head and glared at the other party, who pretended not to see it.

At this moment, Chen Mu felt a little in his heart.

Listening to the tone of the eunuch, it seems that he had investigated his beautiful wife a long time ago.

Does the emperor have any thoughts?

“Damn, if the emperor of the dog days dared to steal my wife, daddy would kill him even if he died ten thousand times!”

Chen Mu clenched his fists, secretly feeling cruel in his heart.

“Chen catches the head, take the order.”

Rong Gonggong retracted his gaze and didn’t talk too much nonsense. He took out a roll of imperial decree from the long jade box and said with a smile.

The imperial edict is not golden yellow silk, but pure white silk.

“Humble duty to take over.”

Chen Mu knelt on the ground with respect.

Bai Xianyu and Qing Luo also knelt down together. After all, it was the emperor’s imperial decree.

“Fengtian carried the emperor, and the emperor said: Because of the cleverness of Chen Mu Tianhui, the head of Qingyu County, he was successful in breaking the case of Juchun Tower. Jin was awarded the title of head catcher for the six gates of Kyoto. A hundred taels of gold were given to Tianqingfang Lingluo. Twenty horses of silk and satin, I respect this!”

Six doors?

After hearing the contents of the imperial edict, Chen Mu was dumbfounded.

In the Dayan Dynasty, the six gates were not a collective name for the Three Laws and Yamen, but a separate department under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Generally, it is to maintain law and order in the capital, contaminate the Rivers and Lakes, and handle ordinary cases, etc.

But what surprised Chen Mu most was why the emperor sent someone to appoint him, shouldn’t it be the queen mother?

Is the young emperor intending to retaliate with virtue?

Although you kissed my “future imperial concubine” and ruined my plan, I was generous, thinking that you are a talent, so I recruited him?

Not only Chen Mu was surprised, but Bai Xianyu also frowned, thinking hard about it.

After all, she had received news in advance that the Queen Mother would send someone to award the reward, but the emperor sent someone to it, which is really puzzling.

“Chen catches the head and doesn’t thank you?”

Rong Gonggong stared at each other with a smile.

Chen Mu came back to his senses and respectfully accepted the imperial decree: “Chen Mu thanked the divine grace, long live my emperor!”

On the other side, the two coachmen moved the three big red boxes into the house one by one.

“Chen catches his head…”

Grandpa Ronggong helped him up, his words were still so intimate, “You have to behave well when you enter Beijing this time, and don’t let down your majesty’s trust.”

“Humble job understands.”

Chen Mu suppressed his doubts and nodded repeatedly.

Father Ronggong glanced over Bai Xianyu and patted Chen Mu’s shoulder again: “The miscellaneous family won’t bother Chen catching his head. If we have the opportunity, let’s talk about it again in Beijing.”

“Father-in-law walk slowly.”

Chen Mu helped him into the carriage and stuffed two silver tickets without showing a trace.

Rong Gonggong smiled, but did not refuse.

Watching the carriage go away, Chen Mu opened the imperial decree and smiled bitterly: “It’s a head-catcher again. It seems that I can’t get rid of the title of’head-catcher’.”

“Congratulations, husband.”

Bai Xianyu smiled lightly, “Six doors are not ordinary yamen, let alone you are a foreigner, you are the second in command.”

The six doors have two yams inside and outside.

Among them, the chief arrester is in charge of the internal government, most of them are sitting in the government office, while the external government is responsible for running errands, such as patrols and so on.

Chen Mu is the head catcher of the foreign government, equivalent to the second in command.

“There is no complaint about being a head-catcher, but the emperor is incomprehensible. Shouldn’t he hate me? Does he really intend to retaliate with virtue?”

Chen Mu scratched his head, feeling that this imperial decree was a bit hot.

There must be a problem.

“The soldiers are here to cover the water and earth. Since the imperial decree is here, we can only take one step and see one step at a time.”

Bai Xianyu comforted.

Chen Mu sighed slightly: “The big man’s thoughts are really incomprehensible. Forget it, let’s go to work when you finish packing your belongings.”

Back in the house, Chen Mu felt violent when he saw the three big boxes.

A hundred taels of gold, the emperor is quite generous.

It is estimated that you can buy several villas in the capital, and you can buy a lot of oiran by the time, and Xue Caiqing can buy ten.

But when Chen Mu opened the box, he was dumbfounded.

Where is the gold!

The box turned out to be copper coins, plated with a layer of golden dye, and deliberately stacked into hills.

“Where is the gold of the dog day? Was it swallowed by the dead eunuch!”

Chen Mu opened the other two boxes again, which were full of silk and satin, and there was no shadow of gold at all, and he was suddenly anxious.

Bai Xianyu couldn’t help but couldn’t help but said, “My husband, the golden hundred taels bestowed by the emperor rarely have real gold.”

“Does this thing have to be falsified?”

Chen Mu was stunned.

Bai Xianyu explained: “You don’t want to think about the value of gold hundred taels. The emperor often rewards others. It will cost a lot in the long run. You can’t say a few taels or tens of taels. You can only use this kind of compromise. The method not only shows the majesty of the royal family, but also does not cost too much.”

“Poorer than! Picky!”

Chen Mu was dumbfounded, and he could only describe it that way.

Is the treasury so poor?

Bai Xianyu slowly said: “Msang Gong, in fact, these copper coins wrapped in golden dyes are sometimes more valuable than gold. Many people collect them on purpose. Each copper coin has a special royal mark.”

“Status symbol……”

After listening to the other party’s explanation, Chen Mu could understand it.

Similar to superstar signatures, limited edition luxury goods, commemorative stamps, etc., it has a very high collection value.

But if the Great Yan Dynasty was accidentally destroyed, it would be over.

“After I went back, I sold them all. I should be able to sell a lot. I don’t know if there are auction houses or the like.”

Chen Mu thought secretly.

In his eyes, only money is the most real thing.

“Chen Mu took the order–”

Just as he was about to take out the gold-dyed copper coins in the box, a sharp voice suddenly came from outside the door, which was quite loud.

Chen Mu was startled, and looked at each other with the lady.

Receipt?

Why is this here again? Could it be that loneliness was picked up just now?

Regardless of thinking too much, Chen Mu hurried to check.

“Why is this?”

At this time, Bai Xianyu’s eyes were full of doubts, and she felt something wrong, and followed.

Standing outside the door was an old eunuch who was in his fifties and had no need for a white face, followed by two little eunuchs.

“Your Excellency is the Qingyu County Ya Chen Mu Chen catching his head.”

Looking at Chen Mu, the old eunuch smiled amiably, with wrinkles on his face, which made people feel good.

“Chen Mu has seen his father-in-law.””The miscellaneous family is the servant girl next to the Queen Mother, whose surname is He.”

The old eunuch glanced at the Bai Xianyu who came out, and said with a smile, “Today I took the liberty to come to disturb him, it is to bring the empress dowager’s motives to Chen Tautou.”

Empress Dowager’s intention?

Chen Mu was completely confused.

This is a coincidence. As soon as the emperor’s imperial edict has left, the queen mother’s imperial edict has arrived. Can’t you two discuss it?

Is it not fragrant to mail it directly by SF Express?

“Chen catches the head, why don’t you take the order soon?” the old eunuch said loudly.

Chen Mu had to kneel down and listen to the decree.

“Chen Muyin, the head arrester of Qingyu County, has repeatedly solved strange cases and made great contributions to the arrest of the snake monster. He specially appointed the superintendent of the Xuantian Department of the town’s demon division, and this is my honor!”

What’s the situation with your uncle?

Chen Mu was stupid.

Just now, the emperor Xiaoer named me to catch the head of the six gates, but you, the empress dowager, also named me the superintendent of the Xuantian Department of the Demon Division.

Make me play, right?

And this time there is no gold hundred taels.

Bai Xianyu suddenly raised her head, Meisou looked at Father He and asked why.

This also exceeded her expectations.

But Father He did not respond to her, and stared at Chen Mu with a smile: “Chen catches his head, what else is he still stunned, why don’t he ask for his gratitude?”

Cold sweat came out of Chen Mu’s forehead.

He realized that he was in trouble, and he was most likely involved in a court battle.

“Thank the Queen Mother for the holy grace.”

Chen Mu insisted on accepting the empress dowager’s decree, and there was no joy in his heart, only a chill in his back.

He gritted his teeth and said: “Hey father-in-law, just now—”

“Chen catches the head to resist the decree?”

Chen Mu hurriedly waved his hand: “No, no, no, mainly because your Majesty just now…”

“Chen catches his head.”

Grandpa He smiled meaningfully at the corner of his eyes, and interrupted him, “The Queen Mother appreciates you very much. If you do well in the Demon Division, you will have a bright future in the future. Don’t let down the trust of the Queen Mother.”

After speaking, Grandpa He took two eunuchs into the carriage, and left without looking back.

What’s so special about this sentence, daddy disappointed your sister.

Chen Mu’s head is big.

“Ching Luo!”

Bai Xianyu’s lips lightly opened, and she winked quietly.

The latter nodded slightly, taking advantage of Chen Mu not paying attention, sneaking over the courtyard wall and chasing in the direction of the carriage.

…

When the carriages drove out of the official road, they were blocked by Qingluo.

Father He lifted the curtain of the car, looked at the maid next to the Vermillion Bird envoy, and asked with a smile: “Young girl, what’s the matter?”

“Father He, what is going on!” Qing Luo asked bluntly.

“What’s the matter?”

Father He was taken aback for a moment, and then he suddenly said, “Do you want to ask why the Queen Mother didn’t include Chen Mu in the Dark Guard? Young girl, go back and tell Vermillion Bird, it’s almost done, and some things can’t be too hot.”

“It’s not this. Not long ago, His Majesty also sent Lord Ronggong to Chen Mu’s imperial decree and sealed him as a six-door foreign government catcher.”

The girl raised her chin.

“Is there anything else?” Grandpa He looked surprised.

Qingluo stomped her jade feet: “Don’t pretend to be stupid, father-in-law, you must know each other why this is the case.”

Seeing the little girl’s charming attitude, Father He laughed.

He looked down at own nails and said faintly: “This is just a coincidence. Your Majesty does not know that the Queen Mother will give Chen Mu, and the Queen Mother does not know that Your Majesty will make a decree, so…this can only be a coincidence.”

Qingluo is not stupid, and her heart sinks when she hears the hint from the other party.

Sure enough, it was another struggle.

“Furthermore, Master Yu suggested that Chen Mu enter the six doors, and His Majesty accepted it along the way.”

Father He provided another piece of information.

Yu Tietou?

“What about my brother-in-law?” Qing Luo pursed her pink lips.

Father He lowered the car curtain, with a somewhat lazy tone: “This miscellaneous family can’t come up with an idea, it’s up to Chen Mu… how he chooses, unless your majesty or the queen mother retracts his will.”

“How is this possible, my brother-in-law—”

“drive!”

The carriage moved forward again, and the girl had to step aside, frowning.
