The Return of the Demon

Chapter 62: Surprised or unexpected?

Emperor Xuan frowned and rubbed the center of his brow irritably.

These days, there are too many twists and turns about playing Ning Chen.

He knew very well in his heart that these people did not want Ning Chen's life, Ning Chen was just a little Yinyi... Their real purpose was to slap him, the emperor, in the face.

The Supervision Department is responsible for supervising all officials.

I don’t know how many officials were dismissed because of the Supervision Department, their entire families were executed, and all three clans were executed.

The Supervision Department is like a knife hanging over the heads of civil and military officials. It may fall at any time and kill them.

Therefore, everyone in the civil and military dynasties disliked the Supervision Department.

Officials often make petitions to abolish the Department of Supervision... The Department of Supervision should not exist.

But they were all rejected by him.

This time, Ning Chen and his subordinates committed crimes and killed the uncle Guo with a sword, giving them another chance to cause trouble.

Just when Emperor Xuan had a headache, a little eunuch crept in and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, Sir Geng, please see me!"

Emperor Xuan said in a deep voice: "Let him come in!"

"yes!"

The little eunuch got up and went out, and Geng Jing came in after a while.

"Your Majesty, Geng Jing, comes to see you!"

"Get up and talk."

Geng Jing stood up and said straight to the point, "Your Majesty, just now the third prince broke into the prison of the Supervision Department and wanted to kill Ning Chen, but he was stopped by me."

Emperor Xuan's face darkened, "Third brother? This bastard, how dare he break into the prison of the Supervision Department?"

Eunuch Quan's heart trembled. The third prince had touched His Majesty's side.

Even the prince would not dare to get too close to the Inspectorate.

"Is Ning Chen okay?"

Geng Jing was shocked. He didn't expect that Emperor Xuan's first concern would be Ning Chen's safety?

Is this boy really His Majesty's illegitimate son?

He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Ning Chen is fine... I accidentally hurt the third prince when I was rescuing Ning Chen. Please punish me."

Emperor Xuan was shocked, "The third child is injured? Is the injury serious?"

Geng Jing fell to his knees on the ground, "When I was rescuing Ning Chen, I knocked away the third prince's knife, causing him to draw blood... Please punish me."

Emperor Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. It was just that the tiger's mouth was cracked and the pain was a little bigger.

"Geng Jing, please get up! There is a reason for this. I will pardon your innocence."

"Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty!"

Geng Jing hurriedly thanked Tianen and then stood up.

He groaned for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, I accidentally hurt the third prince, and I want to go to the Queen to apologize."

"I have pardoned your innocence, so there is no need to go to the queen's side..." Before Emperor Xuan could finish his words, he suddenly looked at Geng Jing with a strange look in his eyes and said with a smile: "You, a vulgar warrior, do you know how to beat around the bush?"

Eunuch Quan glanced at Geng Jing, then lowered his head.

Emperor Xuan had a straight face and said angrily: "You bastard, you dare to break into the Supervision Department... Do you take me seriously?"

"Even if the Queen pleads for mercy this time, I will punish this unsatisfactory thing."

Geng Jing pursed his lips and thought to himself that His Majesty's acting skills are good.

The Queen bit Ning Chen and refused to let go, and His Majesty also had a headache.

Now that things like the third prince have happened, I don’t believe that the queen will not let go... The queen is a smart person. If the third prince loses your majesty’s favor, then he will basically have no chance of being crowned king in the future.

Whether it was killing Ning Chen or the future of the third prince was more important, the queen would definitely be able to figure it out.

"Geng Jing, is there any news from Chongzhou?"

"Back to Your Majesty, I was about to report... I just received the secret letter. They have found the incriminating book and have found out that everything recorded in it is true... Chongzhou officials, big and small, have been captured, and the resisters are on the spot. Kill them, and the rest are already on their way back to the capital, and they can reach the capital in two days."

Emperor Xuan nodded slightly, "Okay, bring those people back and put them directly into the prison of the Supervision Department without going through the Third Division. You will interrogate them personally."

"I obey the decree!"

Emperor Xuan waved his hand, "Okay, please step back."

"I resign!"

After Geng Jing retreated, Emperor Xuan stood up and said, "Quansheng, set up the Furong Palace."

Furong Palace is where the current queen lives.

...

Two days later, forty-one officials, big and small, from Chongzhou were escorted to Beijing.

All these people were imprisoned by the Supervision Department.

Officials in the capital were shocked when they received the news.

Emperor Xuan was too fast this time, and they only received the news after everyone was captured.

Some people are as stable as an old dog, so they do whatever they have to do.

Some people are panicked, like ants on a hot pot, unable to sleep or eat well.

Ning Chen had been on tenterhooks these past two days.

Because he didn't know whether Emperor Xuan planned to cut him into pieces or cook him to death?

He has been thinking these past few days, could he have understood Emperor Xuan's meaning wrongly?

In the past few days, he had not bothered to pay attention to his little friends...just those mice.

A sound of footsteps startled Ning Chen, who was thinking wildly.

Judging by the sound, there are quite a few people coming in.

He hurried to the cage, tried his best to stuff his face into the gap of the cage, and squinted his eyes.

I saw people from the Supervision Department escorting a group of prisoners.

Just when Ning Chen was wondering who these people were, his eyes suddenly froze and his breathing became rapid.

He saw Ai Wenguang, the magistrate of Zhenyuan County, and several familiar faces, all of whom he had met at the uncle's house that day.

These are the big and small officials of Chongzhou.

They were caught.

Ning Chen's face flushed with excitement. Old General Chen was indeed reliable. He did not trust the wrong person.

"Hahaha..."

Ning Chen couldn't hide his joy and laughed out loud.

"You beasts in human form, you've got your comeuppance, right?"

"When you were killing the people, did you ever think that you would end up like this?"

"You beasts, welcome to the prison of the Supervisory Department."

Ning Chen was howling when a tall figure appeared in front of him.

Pan Yucheng watched Ning Chen trying to squeeze his face out through the crack of the prison door, which was deformed and looked very funny.

He tried to hold back his laughter and asked, "Don't you feel pain?"

Ning Chen rolled his eyes and said, "What's your business?"

Pan Yucheng, don't be so proud. Sooner or later, you will end up in prison... Ning Chen complained in his heart.

Pan Yucheng's mouth twitched, "It's none of my business, so please let me go."

As he said that, he stretched out his hand and pushed Ning Chen's forehead.

Ning Chen staggered back a few steps and was about to get angry, but saw that Pan Yucheng had already opened the prison door and grabbed Ai Wenguang by the collar and threw him in.

Immediately, several other people were thrown in.

Ning Chen was stunned and frowned: "Pan Yucheng, what do you mean?"

Pan Yucheng said expressionlessly: "There are not enough cells."

"Nonsense, the cell next door is empty, and the cell opposite is also empty, you tell me..."

Ning Chen's voice suddenly stopped.

It's a good thing to put these scumbags in the same cell with him... If he is bored, can he beat them to relieve his boredom?

Ning Chen stared at Ai Wenguang and couldn't help laughing.

Ai Wenguang and his men were so scared that they trembled all over, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Pan Yucheng.

"Sir, don't put me in the same cell with him, he is a lunatic and will kill me."

"Sir, please, change our cell?"

Pan Yucheng ignored them and locked the cell door directly.

Ning Chen narrowed his eyes, flexed his wrist, and said with a fake smile: "My Lords, I didn't expect that we would meet so soon... Are you surprised or not?"
