The Return of the Demon

"You..."

Emperor Xuan stared at Ning Chen, angry and helpless.

He suspected that someone was behind Master Qiu.

Before he could investigate, Ning Chen killed him... all clues were gone.

Ning Chen hung his head, saying that he was innocent too.

But since the person was dead, scolding Ning Chen would not help.

"Geng Jing?"

"I'm here!"

"Investigate the people around Master Qiu and see if you can find out anything?"

"I obey your order! I'll go now!"

When Geng Jing left, he gave Ning Chen a look that said "May the best of luck to you".

Ning Chen rolled his eyes back at him.

Good-for-nothing, and the boss of the Supervisory Department? He didn't even know that he had poisonous fangs in his mouth... Ning Chen complained in his heart.

Emperor Xuan looked at Ning Chen, full of curiosity?

Ning Chen was only fifteen years old, why did he know so much?

"Ning Chen, how did you know these tricks?"

Ning Chen was relieved to see that His Majesty did not blame him for killing Master Qiu.

"Your Majesty! When I was a child, I made a living by begging and wandering. I met a Feng Shui master by chance. He told me these stories."

"Some quacks, in order to defraud money, would smear eel blood on other people's doors, and then defraud money in the name of exorcism."

Emperor Xuan nodded slightly, "So that's it!"

Princess Jiu looked puzzled and asked:

"Ning Chen, aren't you the fourth son of Ning Mansion? Why are you wandering and begging?"

Ning Chen hesitated and said, "Because there was a beast who was greedy for power and vanity, and deceived a woman who loved her deeply... The poor woman gave birth to a child for him, but the beast left and pursued his wealth and glory!"

"Later, the poor woman died of depression, and the child became an orphan, and could only make a living by wandering and begging."

Princess Jiu widened her beautiful eyes, "Beg and wander for a living? You are talking about yourself, right?"

Ning Chen smiled and said nothing more...Some things should be said at the right time.

Emperor Xuan glanced at the Crown Prince and the Ninth Princess, "Okay! You two go down first... I have something to say to Ning Chen."

The Crown Prince left with a depressed look on his face... What words can't even a Crown Prince like me listen to?

After the two left, Emperor Xuan said to Ning Chen: "The parts needed for the three thousand muskets have been almost made... Go to the Ministry of War tomorrow and teach them how to assemble them."

Ning Chen nodded, "I obey your order!"

"Ning Chen, I will give you a few more days... Get ready before you set off."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Okay, you go down... I'm a little tired!"

Ning Chen hesitated for a moment, wanting to say something but stopped.

Emperor Xuan said unhappily: "If you have something to say, just say it directly, don't be shy."

Ning Chen looked at Emperor Xuan, "May I ask Your Majesty, are you taking the elixir?"

Emperor Xuan nodded.

"Your Majesty, can you show me the elixir? I haven't seen it yet."

Emperor Xuan was stunned for a moment, and said casually: "Quan Sheng, go and show him one."

"Yes!"

Eunuch Quan left for a while, and then came back with a brocade box.

He walked to Ning Chen and opened the brocade box.

A golden elixir the size of a glass ball, filled with fragrance, appeared in Ning Chen's sight.

Ning Chen smelled it curiously, and then licked it with his tongue.

Eunuch Quan's face suddenly changed, "Ning Chen, you are so presumptuous..."

Ning Chen scratched his head embarrassedly, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, it's so fragrant that I couldn't help it for a while."

Emperor Xuan was speechless.

"Okay, this golden elixir is given to you, take it and go."

Ning Chen licked it, how can he eat it?

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Ning Chen hugged the brocade box and left the palace happily.

"Your Majesty, are you too fond of Ning Chen? He clearly did it on purpose. It's very difficult to refine the golden elixir..."

Emperor Xuan waved his hand to stop Eunuch Quan's chattering: "It's just a golden elixir, it's harmless."

Ning Chen left the palace and rode his beloved Diao Chan back to the Supervisory Department.

Back to one place, Ning Chen asked Feng Qizheng to help him catch some ants and a mouse.

Feng Qizheng had a question mark on his face.

"What do you want these things for?"

"I'll tell you later, go quickly!"

"In this weather, where can you let me catch ants and mice for you?"

Ning Chen smiled and said, "You are so smart, you must have a way...Okay, I'll treat you tonight at the Music Bureau!"

"Dad, I'll go now!"

Ning Chen's mouth twitched fiercely a few times.

Fuck! ! !

Too much bottom line.

Ning Chen found a small bowl, crushed the elixir given to him by His Majesty, and studied it.

His Majesty fainted suddenly. On the one hand, he was frightened last night, and on the other hand, it must be related to this elixir.

In his memory, the emperors who wanted to eat elixirs for immortality almost all had a bad ending.

Especially the cinnabar ore found in Humaode's house.

This thing is used to make elixirs.

Yesterday he killed Humaode, and today he was almost killed by Master Qiu.

Humaode must be related to the Yangdan Division.

If these elixirs are made from cinnabar ore, then they must contain toxic substances such as mercury.

The general recipes for alchemy are folk recipes of folk sorcerers, and they all use fierce drugs.

If taken, it will indeed make people feel refreshed in the short term, but in fact it is overdrawing life... When it comes to the later stage, it will not only make people mentally disordered, but also make people die easily, and it is difficult for gods to cure.

After about an hour, Feng Qizhen came back.

He really found ants and mice.

"Thanks!"

Ning Chen brought things to Pan Yucheng's room.

Seeing Ning Chen was looking at mice and ants... Pan Yucheng was confused.

"What are you doing?"

Ning Chen threw some pill residue into the bowl with ants, and then covered it with another bowl to prevent the ants from crawling out.

He threw the remaining pills into the cage with mice.

"Old Pan, keep an eye on it... If the mice and ants die, remember to notify me in time."

Pan Yucheng looked at him with a stern face, "Who is the boss of the place between us?"

This guy is disrespectful and actually ordered him to do things?

Ning Chen smiled, "Of course you are the boss... Help, Feng Qizhen and his idiots are unreliable, so I can only trouble you!"

Pan Yucheng said helplessly: "Remember to go around."

Ning Chen slapped his head, "Yes, I almost forgot about this."

Chen Lezhang was going to be caned, and he was going to supervise the punishment.

"Old Pan, can I choose the executioners myself?"

Pan Yucheng thought for a moment and said, "Take Gao Ziping and the others with me."

"Okay!"

Ning Chen returned to a place, called Feng Qizheng and others, and went to find Chen Lezhang with the cane.

Feng Qizheng was even more excited than Ning Chen.

There are not many opportunities to beat Jinyi with a cane...enough for him to brag about for several years.

Several people came to the four places.

As soon as Ning Chen entered the door, he shouted: "Chen Lezhang, come out and get beaten!"

The busy people in silver and red clothes turned their heads to look.

Ning Chen shouted: "Hurry up and call Chen Jinyi out to get beaten. Everyone is very busy...we will go to drink and celebrate after the beating."
