You, you should just follow me. The yamen servant hesitated for a moment, but did not go to Ye Chen's side, but asked Ye Chen to follow him.

The yamen servants brought Ye Chen to the yamen hall. Ye Chen knew the rules and knelt on the ground. After a while, the yamen servants all roared Sheng Tang in unison.

The official came out of the back hall. He patted the gavel and said, Is this Ye Chen?

It's Xiaomin. Ye Chen kowtowed and replied.

Ye Chen, I have now found out the truth, and you are no longer guilty. After the official said, the officer quickly came over and untied Ye Chen's hands and feet.

Chapter 1352 Killing demons with merit

Ye Chen, I wrongly blamed you before. After all, what you said was too bizarre, so I can't believe it. The official became pleasant this time, which was completely different from his previous attitude.

But... I still can't believe it was some kind of earthly master who killed these two people. Ye Chen, did you kill this man and the monster? The official was still a little confused.

I... Ye Chen was really too lazy to argue, but he didn't dare to admit that he killed him. If the official was trying to trick him, he would really admit to the crime of murder. .

So Ye Chen simply kept silent, as if he didn't hear what Mr. Guan said at all. Mr. Guan also knew that Ye Chen had doubts about him, but he did so out of helplessness.

Ye Chen, you have to understand. After all, a murder case has occurred, and I have to investigate it carefully. If the killer is missed, I will bear the responsibility.

I slapped you before, and I wanted to apologize to you. It was because I was too arbitrary. In order to make you admit your crime, I had to hit you. But now I really want to understand, Ye Chen, you really have nothing to do. Sinful.

Really? Ye Chen still couldn't believe what Mr. Guan said, but looking at Mr. Guan's sincere face, it didn't look like he was lying to himself.

Yes, I have reported this matter to the court. The heavenly master from the court personally went to inspect the scene and confirmed that the couple was one person and one demon, and they were in the business of selling human meat buns.

There is an order from the imperial court. Ye Chen has made great achievements in killing monsters. The emperor asked you to go to court and said that he would personally reward you. The official looked at Ye Chen with a smile, Well... don't forget to say a kind word for me when the time comes. sentence.

Then... I want to take a bath and have a good meal. Look... Ye Chen looked at Mr. Guan, but to his surprise, Mr. Guan nodded immediately, Easy to say, easy to say.

Come here, take Young Master Ye down to change his clothes, and then prepare a good meal of wine and food for Young Master Ye. Today I want to have a good chat with Young Master Ye.

After the official finished speaking, a government servant took Ye Chen to the backyard. It turned out that the official had already prepared the hot water for bathing and was waiting for Ye Chen to arrive.

Ye Chen took a bath comfortably, and then came to the place where Mr. Guan was entertaining guests. Mr. Guan had been waiting here for a long time.

Ye Chen couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw the old man's expression. This old man was completely different from before, and the flattery on his face was ready to show.

Thank you for the food and wine, sir. Ye Chen was not polite and sat directly on the seat prepared for him by the official. He picked up his chopsticks and started eating. After all, he was really hungry.

Mr. Guan asked Ye Chen to eat slowly, and picked up the wine glass again. Ye Chen also picked up the glass, touched it with Mr. Guan, drank it all in one gulp, and then continued to eat with ease.

Ye Chen was very full during this meal. During the dinner, the official kept asking Ye Chen how he killed the monster. Ye Chen couldn't answer and could only prevaricate him by saying, When the knife falls with the hand, the monster dies.

After drinking and eating, Mr. Guan sent Ye Chen to the government office. At this time, there was already a carriage waiting for Ye Chen outside the government office.

Ye Chen said goodbye to Mr. Guan and got into the carriage. The driver didn't say anything and just drove forward. Ye Chen opened the curtain of the window and saw the carriage driving towards the imperial city.

I didn't expect that by mistake, I entered the imperial city. It seems that I will definitely meet Xuanzang this time. Maybe I can ask the emperor to agree to travel westward with Xuanzang. Ye Chen thought silently in his heart.

Chapter 1353 Wei Zheng

The carriage drove slowly through Chang'an City. The driver seemed to deliberately not let the horse go too fast so that Ye Chen could see the scenery of Chang'an City clearly.

Ye Chen looked at the scene outside through the car window. Chang'an City was worthy of being the capital. Ye Chen had never expected the prosperity here.

As we get closer and closer to the imperial city, the number of vendors and pedestrians on the roadside does not decrease as Ye Chen imagined. On the contrary, there are more and more people.

Sir, we are about to enter the imperial city. Please get ready, sir. The emperor is waiting in the palace at the moment. The coachman suddenly gave a reminder, and Ye Chen wisely lowered the curtain on the window.

Ye Chen knew that the coachman meant that he should stop observing, because immediately entering the imperial city, many royal secrets would naturally be revealed, and Ye Chen was not qualified to see those yet.

Ye Chen, who was bored in the car, began to imagine the appearance of the emperor. It was said that the emperor was handsome, good at fighting, and would be a wise king in the future.

Moreover, the identities of the ministers around him are also very special. Take Wei Zheng as an example. One of his most famous folk legends is that he killed the Dragon King of Jinghe River in his dream.

It is said that Wei Zheng is the reincarnation of Wenqu Xingjun, and his status in heaven is also very high. This time he came down to earth to assist Emperor Taizong in establishing the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.

The Dragon King of Jinghe had nothing to do with Wei Zheng, but in order to drive Yuan Shoucheng, the incarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva, out of Chang'an, he actually made a bet with Yuan Shoucheng.

He cheated and violated the rules of heaven.

After the Dragon King violated the rules of heaven, he came to Emperor Taizong for help. Emperor Taizong agreed to the Dragon King's prayer and used a chess game to hold Wei Zheng back. Unexpectedly, Wei Zheng actually killed the Dragon King in his dream.

This incident is said to have happened some time ago, but even though it happened not long ago, the incident was still widely spread in Chang'an City, and Wei Zheng became a capable person in the eyes of the people.

Speaking of which, the Dragon King was also pitiful. He was lured into making a bet by Yuan Shoucheng. He thought it was an ordinary bet, but he didn't expect it to end up like this.

After all, Guanyin Bodhisattva actually set up such a bet to facilitate Tang Monk to learn scriptures. In this way, after a series of events, he had the strange experience of the Tang Dynasty's three-day trip to the underworld.

After returning from the underworld, the king of Tang Dynasty was so distraught that he had to seek help from Buddhism. Only then did he meet Xuanzang, and this led to his later journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures.

Sir, we have arrived in front of the palace. Cars and horses are prohibited in the palace. Please get off the bus, sir. Ye Chen was thinking about the causes and consequences of his westward journey when he suddenly heard the words of the coachman coming from outside the carriage.

Oh, okay. Ye Chen stopped what he was thinking and got out of the carriage. The driver handed the reins of the carriage to a guard guarding the city, and then led Ye Chen towards the palace.

As soon as Ye Chen got off the carriage, he saw the huge city gate in front of him. In front of the city gate, his figure was very small, which also showed the majesty of the royal family.

After entering the city gate, a magnificent palace appeared in front of Ye Chen.

Young Master, ahead is the Tai Chi Palace where the Emperor goes to court to discuss matters. The Emperor is waiting in the palace at the moment. Please come with me, Young Master. The coachman slowed down a little and introduced the palace to Ye Chen.

Okay. Ye Chen followed the coachman to the outside of the main hall. The coachman signaled Ye Chen to wait outside the palace for a while. He went to report to the emperor. After a while, the coachman walked out of the main hall.

Master, please come in. The coachman said, making a please gesture, and Ye Chen cautiously stepped into the palace.

Chapter 1354 Meeting

Looking in from the outside, the inside of the hall was dark. Only when he actually stepped into the hall could Ye Chen see the scene in the hall clearly.

He saw the emperor sitting on the dragon throne. The moment he saw the emperor, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel a little absent-minded. He felt as if two rays of light were shooting out of his eyes, looking in his direction.

But Ye Chen knew that the emperor was not looking at himself, but at the sky outside, at the country he had conquered, and looking at the world that already belonged to him.

What are you looking at? Let's go quickly. The driver found that he could not hear Ye Chen's footsteps in front of him. He quickly looked back and found that Ye Chen was staring at the emperor in a trance, so he quickly whispered a reminder.

Oh, oh. Ye Chen reacted immediately. He was extremely disrespectful to the emperor by looking at him like this. If the emperor wanted to pursue the matter, he might have lost his head now.

Fortunately, the emperor didn't see Ye Chen, or the emperor just didn't want to argue with Ye Chen at all.

Ye Chen lowered his head slightly. From the corner of his eye, he saw a bald monk in the hall. This monk must have a very special identity. Although Ye Chen didn't understand the hierarchy of monks, the cassock on this monk looked extraordinary at first glance.

Apart from these two people, there was no one else in the hall. No wonder, it was already past noon, and unless the emperor had something urgent to announce or a minister wanted to report something, there would be no other officials here.

The coachman took Ye Chen to a place about five or six meters in front of the emperor. He clasped his fists with both hands and bowed in the direction of the emperor, while Ye Chen knelt down without knowing why.

Stand up. The coachman said softly beside Ye Chen. Ye Chen glanced at the coachman blankly, and then looked up at the emperor. Unexpectedly, the emperor was also looking at him with a smile.

Ye Chen was startled, and he didn't dare to get up anymore. He kowtowed three times on the ground and said, Common man Ye Chen, bow to the emperor.
