Minghe Hall.

"But what?!"

Hearing Jiang Wei speak again, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up and he hurriedly continued to ask.

"During a secret investigation, I found that someone in the city was deliberately spreading this matter. It seems that someone wanted to make this matter bigger deliberately, so the city was filled with uproar and public resentment boiled."

Jiang Wei bowed his hands and said everything he knew.

Hearing Jiang Wei's answer, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was originally frowning, instantly darkened his face, and a light flashed in his eyes.

"Who is so bold?! How dare you tell the secrets of the royal family and confuse the public with your lies!"

Wang Defa frowned and said in confusion.

"The origin of the other party has not yet been found out. The other party is very hidden and there are few traces. I am afraid it will be difficult to find out the person behind the scenes."

Jiang Wei shook his head and said.

"Hmph, who else could it be?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and said dissatisfied.

In his mind, the shadows of several people have emerged, but there is no evidence to confirm who they are.

Jiang Wei and Wang Defa also came to their senses, but no one said another word. In this kind of thing, sometimes it is safest to act stupid, otherwise it will be fatal.

"Pass on my decree, order the Third Emperor's grandson Zhu Yunxi to enter the palace immediately to pay homage! Bring the person back first!"

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Jiang Yu and said in a deep voice.

"According to the order!"

Jiang Wei agreed and immediately exited the hall.

"Wang Defa, Xuan Xiaohuan comes to see you."

Then, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Wang Defa again and said in a deep voice, his face darkened, and his mood could not be seen.

"Commander of the Proclamation Army and Guards Division, Xiao Huan has an audience!"

Wang Defa agreed and immediately shouted at the top of his voice outside the hall.

...

under night.

The commander, Jiang Wei, led dozens of Jin Yi guards to walk on the streets, looking for Zhu Yunxi's whereabouts. Except for this group of people, almost half of the guards were mobilized.

Jiang Wei has found out that Zhu Yunxi, the grandson of the Third Emperor, disappeared after leaving Tianpingfang. The Liang Palace also sent people to inquire, but he was not in the palace.

"Sir, what if we find the Third Emperor's grandson and he refuses to go back with us?"

A member of the household approached Jiang Yu and asked cautiously.

Zhu Yunxi's reputation as a playboy has long been known in Kyoto. How could he be the kind of obedient master?

In the past, since Jin Yiwei was on an errand, he could have just been tied up and taken back. But now, the trend has obviously changed, and everyone is a little reluctant to let go.

"Your Majesty said he would bring him back, not arrest him. Don't you understand what he means?!"

Jiang Wei said coldly, without any expression on his face.

In fact, after the Fengtian Temple incident ended, he had a new understanding of the emperor's grandson who usually looked down upon him. Because the traitor's appearance in Kyoto was originally a top secret of the Jin Yiwei, and he couldn't figure out who How did the grandson of the emperor, who was pampered and only knew how to live in luxury and debauchery, know this?

Encounter at Tianxianglou?

He doesn't believe it!

Due to the Jinyiwei's city-wide manhunt, the commotion was too loud, making the already lively Kyoto even more lively.

However, Jinyiwei was on errands and no one else dared to approach, let alone wait and see, so the people all hid in restaurants and talked about it, and not a single soul was seen on the street.

...

At the same time, the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion.

As the governor, Xu Huizu was pacing in the government office, also looking frowning.

He was already aware of the rumors outside and had sent people to verify them.

The Pro-Military Guards Commander's Department is affiliated with the Central Military Governor's Mansion, which means that he is the immediate superior of Xiao Huan, the Commander.

When someone under his command was bullied, he should have stepped in to calm it down, but the other party was actually the emperor's grandson. If he failed to control the situation properly, he would probably anger His Majesty and involve himself.

Therefore, he could only ignore it for the time being and prepare to wait and see what happens.

As the Governor of the Central Military Command, I have heard a lot about the romantic affairs of this emperor's grandson over the years, and I also know that this emperor's grandson has caused a lot of troubles, but after all, his status is different, and all the major yamen are looking at the Holy One. He was muddle along in order to save his face, and no one really dared to do anything to the unpopular grandson of the emperor.

But what he didn't expect was that this time the emperor's grandson actually made such a big fuss, and was even caught in the act!

...

North of the city.

The entrance to the Nine Nether Realm.

Zhu Yunxi walked in slowly with Hong Yuan. Looking at the familiar dim street in front of him, Zhu Yunxi could not help but reveal a smile.

Not long after entering, Zhu Yunxi caught his eye at a steamed bun stall next to the street.

Looking at the steaming buns on the steamer, Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but swallow his saliva, turned his head and pursed his lips at Hong Yuan.

Hongyuan pursed her lips and smiled, nodded, and went straight to the bun stall.

"Here comes a drawer of steamed buns."

"Beef."

Hong Yuan paid and said something to the sweaty stall owner.

"okay!"

Seeing the business coming, the stall owner happily agreed, immediately took a piece of oil paper and quickly picked up the buns from the steamer.

After a while, Hong Yuan returned to Zhu Yunxi holding the oil paper.

Zhu Yunxi couldn't wait to take a bun and took a big bite. Since it had just come out of the drawer and was still very hot, he couldn't help but tremble his lips, chewing and breathing.

The steamed buns from this stall are very fragrant. The stall owner is an old man in his fifties named Tu Jiu. He is very enthusiastic. The steamed buns have been famous in the entire Jiuyou world for a long time. He will buy two to try every time he comes. .

People in Jiuyou Realm are spreading rumors that his buns are made of human flesh, which is why they are so fragrant. They smell and taste even better.

Eight in a drawer, the soup is full and fragrant.

Zhu Yunxi didn't care what kind of meat it was made from, and sometimes he would come here just to have a bite of his steamed buns.

The so-called Jiuyou Realm is actually an underground market, or a black market would be more appropriate to describe it, because it is not really underground, but is located in a collapsed ruin in the north of the city.

It was formed during the war many years ago. Some people say that it was exploded by gunpowder, while others say that God appeared and could not bear the loss of life, so he created such a place for people to live.

Later, many people fleeing the war fled here. Although the war ended, those people did not leave, but chose to settle here.

After Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor, in order not to disturb the people here, he preserved the ruins without repairs and has remained there to this day.

Over time, this place turned into a black market, a mixed bag of fish and dragons. Under normal circumstances, the court did not have much jurisdiction or intervention, because there are always some shady activities in this world. Instead of finding the source, it is better to create a source.

In this way, even if there is any case involved in the future, the source can be found directly without being in a hurry.

As long as it doesn't go too far, the court will usually turn a blind eye or close one eye.

There is a place called Ghost Cave in the black market. There lives an old man who is good at divination, named Ghost Bai. He got the name because his eyes are blind and snow-white.

I heard that his divination skills have reached the realm of transformation and are extremely prestigious in the Jiuyou Realm. He can not only predict good and bad luck, but even life and death!

However, in Zhu Yunxi's view, Gui Bai was just a bluffing fortune teller, so he never measured it. It was not because he was reluctant to pay ten taels of silver for a test, but because he felt that his own destiny should be controlled by himself!

After a long time, Zhu Yunxi brought Red Kite to the ghost cave.

When the two boys guarding the door saw Zhu Yunxi, they hurriedly bowed respectfully, and then opened the door without saying anything.

Also known as the Ghost Cave, as the name suggests, this is a cave built on a ruined stone wall.

Zhu Yunxi walked straight into the cave door while eating the beef bun in his hand. This was already the third time.

Under the leadership of a boy, we entered the depths of the cave and came to a cave.

The entire cave was filled with all kinds of talismans, each of which was two feet long and went straight down from the top of the cave. The ground was filled with candles and arranged in a seven-star matrix, and there was a sense of gloominess everywhere.

An old man with white hair and beard was sitting cross-legged on a futon. He heard footsteps and listened attentively.

"Master, long time no see."

Zhu Yunxi cupped his hands towards the old man and said hello with a smile. He was still chewing, and the soup flowed down the corners of his mouth.

This person is the owner of the ghost cave, Gui Bai.

"It turns out Mr. Zhu has arrived. Long time no see."

Hearing Zhu Yunxi's words, Guibai couldn't help but smile, and the wrinkles on his face looked even more.

Although his eyesight is bad, his hearing is good, and he almost never forgets the sounds he hears.

"Eat buns?"

"Human flesh."

Zhu Yunxi took another bun from Hongyuan's hand, shook it, and asked with a smile...
