After being mistaken for a fellow by Long Aotian

The emperor made a windfall and was very happy.The black-faced guys are happy with their plans.Lu Bin became a phoenix overnight, and joined (he thinks) the great blueprint of the emperor. He is very happy.Zhou Xun was also very happy to see the matter resolved.

The only one who was unhappy was Aunt Lu.

Not only was she scolded by her son, but she was also glared at by several men who came to ask for salary.If it wasn't for the black-faced man stopping them, some of them who were agitated might have already gone up and beat her up.

But this matter is not over yet, before leaving, the young man in Xuanyi said again: "Ma'am, let's go to the government."

Lu Bin said: "My mother, she..."

"Don't worry, I'm just asking a few simple questions." Young Master Xuanyi waved his hand with a hearty smile, "And..."

Lu Bin: ...

Young Master Xuanyi: "The government's tea is also free."

Free tea doesn't deserve joy.Fortunately, the government office is bright and spacious, and there are people taking notes by the side.Aunt Lu looked at the envelope, but she still couldn't understand how Zhou Xun found the envelope containing the leftover talisman paper from her home.

She didn't know that Zhou Xun had long been suspicious of these talisman papers.When Zhou Xun saw this envelope before, he took out a piece of talisman and twisted it—it wouldn't kill anyone if he hadn't soaked in the potion.Therefore, it is not a bad idea to use this to teach Aunt Lu a lesson and dig out the organization behind her by the way.

Only then did Aunt Lu explain the matter stutteringly.

"The criminal gang that sells talisman paper is called the Red Lotus Sect. How did you connect with them? What is your contact code?"

"Well, they're not a criminal gang, they're a church..."

"I say it's a criminal gang, it's a criminal gang! Crimes of abetting, fraud, and endangering public safety!" The emperor suddenly yelled, and poked a brush on the table, "Be upright!"

Aunt Lu: ...

"They asked you to send the money to the stone lion, pray three times piously, and you can get the talisman paper the next day?" The emperor frowned, "Other than that, you have no other way to contact them? "

Aunt Lu quickly said: "Yes, yes, I haven't even met them..."

"you're lying!"

The emperor suddenly yelled, slapped the table and said, "If you haven't seen them, how do you know how they connect? When was the first time you met them?"

Only then did Aunt Lu explain everything stutteringly.It turned out that the first time she heard about the Red Lotus Sect was in a medical clinic where a mysterious woman told her.The woman took her to see her cured son, so she was convinced.Later, when he went to see the saint, he was also taken blindfolded, so he couldn't remember the way.The saint was covered, and she didn't remember the saint's face.

The emperor immediately sent someone to check the courtyard where the woman's son lived-naturally, the building was empty.The emperor did not give up and questioned Aunt Lu for all the details, but in the end there was nothing to dig, so he had to be educated and let her go back.

"...On the bulletin board of 'Today's Statement' in the square, write today's trick on it, with pictures and text." The emperor ordered the little official next to him, "Then give the victim a code, and Lu Bin will call him Li. Hua is fine, um, that's it."

Small official: "Your Majesty, it was Li Hua who was cheated a few times last time. Some time ago, a few scholars named Li Hua came to the government to complain, saying that the stereotype of 'Li Hua is stupid and easy to be deceived' has formed in many stores. Serious occupational discrimination against them."

Emperor: "Then Wang Xiaoming, Li Xiaolang, you choose one!"

After sending the little official away, the emperor sighed to Zhou Xun, who was meditating beside him: "The clue is broken here, what a loss, besides the Lu family, how many people have been deceived by these scoundrels..."

Seeing the emperor's concern for the country and the people, Zhou Xun grabbed his hand and comforted him, "Such deceitful people seriously endanger public safety and cannot be tolerated."

The emperor: "Think about it, a Lu family is a few tens of taels of silver, plus other families, that is thousands of taels, tens of thousands of taels! It didn't go into my pocket, but into the pocket of the cult. It's not worth it. Not worth it, hey, where is your hand? Why did you let go..."

Zhou Xun silently withdrew his hand.

Withdrawing his hand is retracting, but he has been thinking about how to find clues to the Red Lotus Sect.The emperor thought for a long time, and suddenly said: "I have a solution!"

Zhou Xun: "What way?"

Emperor: "Skynet-style investigation! Find all the stone lions in the entire capital..."

Zhou Xun: ...

He thought about it carefully, and suddenly seemed to remember something, picked up the talisman paper, and sniffed it to his nose.

emperor:? ?

"On this paper, there is a familiar fragrance." Zhou Xun frowned and said, "A very strong smell of powder, and..."

He thought over and over where he had smelled this smell before, but suddenly remembered something, and said in a deep voice, "Nuanlixiang."

"what?"

"The smell of warm pears."

Zhou Xun said.

The emperor also grabbed the talisman paper and smelled it, he said: "It seems that there is a share..."

Zhou Xun:?

Emperor: "I can't distinguish the aroma, anyway, it's very fragrant. How do you know it's warm pear fragrance?"

After the emperor made a straight man speech, Zhou Xun replied helplessly: "A year ago, a businessman gave the fifth prince a whole piece of warm pear fragrance, and the fifth prince often smoked it, so I smelled it... "

emperor:……

"I see." He patted his thigh suddenly.

Zhou Xun: "What do you understand?"

The emperor: "The murderer is the fifth prince! He has a grudge against me, and secretly practiced a cult at home... Ha ha ha ha, I have long been unhappy with him! It's a pity that I can't find a reason to punish him. He was confined at home, and there was no way to deal with him, so I finally found a chance to send him to Siberia to dig coal!"

Zhou Xun: ...

Seeing the emperor cheering and jumping for joy, he couldn't laugh or cry.

It turns out that the emperor was still thinking about throwing the fifth prince to Siberia?

Zhou Xun shook his head and said, "Probably it wasn't made by the fifth prince. You smell it. The smell of powder makes the fifth prince not a womanizer."

The emperor slapped his thigh: "I understand!"

Zhou Xun: "... What do you understand?"

"He has been imprisoned by me for so long. He must be a psychopath. He started dressing up as a woman and became a saint." The emperor reasoned, "And why is the saint covering her face?"

...Zhou Xun decided to cooperate with him: "Why?"

The emperor slapped his thigh again: "Of course it's because he's afraid of revealing his male identity! So he covered his face with something! Now, all the clues are there!"

Zhou Xun: ...

Emperor: "Hey, don't worry about it, I just want to find a chance to punish him!"

Zhou Xun: "...Money is also very important."

Only then did the emperor correct his attitude a little bit, and stopped his arrogance and Maoist reasoning (Note: Kogoro Mori).He scratched his head and said, "Then what do you think is the reason?"

"Nuanlixiang is hard to come by, a piece of incense is a piece of gold, and most of the noble people think that Nuanlixiang is sweet and frivolous, and they prefer to use sandalwood. Plus the smell of powder..." Zhou Xun closed his eyes and said, "First of all, Those who can spend a lot of money to buy Nuanlixiang must not be ordinary people. There are also limited channels to buy Nuanlixiang. The fragrance is so deep in the paper that it must be smoked all day long. I will buy it steadily and spend so much money Players, in this world, they are rare. If the emperor checks it out, he will be able to find it out soon."

"Secondly, although this kind of makeup is strong, it is inelegant after all. At least, it will not belong to the mistress of the high family, or the children of high-ranking officials. That is..."

"Fireworks?"

Zhou Xun nodded.

"Then go to the place of fireworks to check. By the way, look for those merchants in the city and ask if anyone else bought it, so as not to accidentally hurt you." The emperor said, "Anyway, anyway..."

"Leave this matter to me!" He said with a smile, "From now on, you can read your book and learn from you at ease!"

Zhou Xun thought so too.

It's a pity that his peaceful study days didn't last long, but on the third day, when he was walking in the imperial garden, his peaceful life was broken.

"Many officials in the capital are asking why the emperor suddenly has such a literary talent, and who wrote his prayer." Wang Shiwei said to him with a smile, "Those eloquent officials were originally surprised. Three feet tall, saying that the Imperial Academy would not be able to write good articles without Zhou Cai, and asked the emperor to restore Zhou Cai's post, but now, they all got slapped in the face!"

"Besides, the people from the Cabinet's Military Plane Department also asked about the prayer. Because the Lord Protector had a good relationship with Zhou Cai, he belittled a few words, and was sent by Prime Minister Lu and Yan Shangshu. It was quite a while. Finally, Prime Minister Yan came down and asked who wrote the emperor's prayer, and as soon as the answer came out, his face turned green!"

Zhou Xun nodded, but didn't smile much.He looked at the sky, a little worried.

Now he has his own house... Although it sounds a little ungrateful to say so, but if he lives in the palace or in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, it is a bit unavoidable.

One is that it is inconvenient for him to come and go, and the other is that the emperor has suffered a lot of rumors and rumors for so many days, and it is also because he is still living in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.It was also for this reason that Lu Cheng attacked him at the beginning.

Three of them are that his new house is not far from the imperial palace, and four of them are the imperial examinations... He can't go out of the imperial palace for the imperial examinations, so come back?

At that time, how bad the impact will be!

But the emperor didn't expect this, and Zhou Xun himself never found a suitable opportunity to speak.For some reason, it was so difficult for him to talk about just moving out of the palace.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the guard thought about it for a while, and asked him tentatively, "Mr. Zhou, what's the problem?"

Zhou Xun: ...

The guard enthusiastically said: "Young Master Zhou, talk to the emperor, the emperor will definitely take the initiative to solve your difficulties for you!"

But it's really not good to tell the emperor about it.Zhou Xun caught a glimpse of a carriage parked in front of Donghua Gate, and wondered to Eunuch Wei at the gate, "Anyone came into the palace today?"

"It seems to be a gift to the emperor."

Zhou Xun looked at the car carefully.This car seems to be different from the cars he usually sees, it seems to be tighter and more stable, and there are some weird patterns on it...

He suddenly remembered the pattern.

Isn't that... the pattern of the research base in the outskirts of the valley?

People from the research base?

What did they bring?

Zhou Xun was still thinking about this matter after he entered the palace, and he was also thinking about his discussion with the emperor about moving out, right now.

Suddenly there was a loud noise ahead!

Zhou Xun watched helplessly as black smoke rose from the direction of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and then, there was the sound of Xiao Lizi screaming.

"Blow it up! The Hall of Mental Cultivation is blown up!!!"

"Where is the emperor!! How is the emperor!!"

"The emperor is fine! Still alive! Behind the shield! The others are fine too! That's, that's..."

"What is it?"

"The 'fireworks' flew in the direction of the side hall, and it seemed that the side hall was blown down!"

"It's blown up, it's blown up!"

"Don't make noise!! I'm fine!! I'm alive! All the five sense organs and limbs of my body are alive!!"

"Your Majesty, this, this thing was fine when it was in the base. It has never exploded before, why did it just..."

Zhou Xun: ...

Guard:  …

"Well," the guard said cautiously, "The emperor may not be in a good mood today, if Mr. Zhou is in trouble..."

Zhou Xun: "...No need."

The guard was really right.

What is difficult for him...you don't need to ask, the emperor will do it for him.

The author has something to say: Emperor: It seems that your house... exploded?

Zhou Xun: Your house was blown up.

emperor:……

Zhou Xun: My house is outside.

Emperor: QAQ
