White-haired Demon Lord and Senior Brother

◎Chopped off a section of broken thoughts◎

Early this morning, there was a routine morning meeting in Pingjing Palace. Li Zhen sat on the throne of the emperor, and there were twelve armchairs in front of him. The twelve princes sat on the twelve armchairs. A mat was laid in front of the king of the county, and all the civil and military officials knelt on the mat to discuss political affairs face to face with the emperor and the kings of the twelve counties.

Regarding the serial murder case that has been thrown around for several years and has not been solved, Li Zhenjing couldn't help opening her lips after hearing the opinions of all parties: "The reward notices have been posted for so many years, and more and more are posted, but so far no one has announced the list! In other words, no one has found any murderers so far! They disappeared like air, proving that the reward announcement is useless, and another method must be found!"

Liu Yinghe, Prince of Guangling County, was the first to reply: "Indeed, using only this method will only delay the time, make more victims, and only benefit the mastermind behind the scenes! It's time to change to another method!"

When the other county kings heard the words, some nodded in agreement, and some replied 'that's right'.

Li Xuan, King of Shaole County, then said: "But the reward announcement cannot be withdrawn, I'm afraid there will be a chance to turn around. My opinion is to continue posting the reward announcement, but at the same time implement another method, two prongs!"

Wang Ping of Huangyuan County opened her lips: "Since the person who poisoned the sons of the noble clan was not Timo from the Mufeng Society in the past, but the person who wore a ghost mask like the head of the Mufeng Society, could this person be the head of the Mufeng Society? Relatives of the door?"

After hearing this, all the civil and military officials whispered to each other to express their agreement, only the county kings looked back at Su Zhongming silently.

Only Su Zhongming, who is the lord of the city, knows the things about Qingluan City and the grievances between Qingluan City and Mufeng Society. Su Zhongming immediately replied: "Huang Yan was personally arrested and interrogated by Qingluan City. I can guarantee that there are no relatives of Huang Yan in this world! When Qingluan City arrested him, he was already alone!"

The civil and military officials immediately fell silent.After a while, some of them raised their hands and bowed: "Your Majesty! You princes! I think that since the murderers who went mad and killed their blood relatives after being poisoned are all the sons of noble families who are studying in the academy, it would be better——whose son has symptoms of poisoning, and he will be killed." Send someone to tie him up, dismiss his relatives, and guard him day and night. When he goes mad and wants to kill his relatives, he will run away whether he can kill them or not. When he escapes, the mastermind behind the scenes will definitely respond. We should be able to track down the mastermind behind the scenes."

Tuluo County Wang Yuzhuzhen simply said: "The poisoning symptoms of the murderer before committing the crime are all very common, I'm afraid it will be a misjudgment."

Wang Yujia of Taoxia County answered, "Secondly, kidnapping people, dismissing relatives and guarding them day and night, if they end up innocent, it will only arouse the resentment of the gentry, which is not good for the court."

Wang Tianling of Geyun County couldn't help answering: "But one thing is right - after the murderer commits the crime, there must be someone to respond! And this person is very sure when the murderer committed the murder with poison, and when the murderer escapes, he can quickly kill people on the way. Pick it up!"

Su Zhongming couldn't help blurting out: "This reminded me. Every time the murderer escaped without a trace after committing crimes in the middle of the night, even if he sent people to search the whole city that night, he still couldn't find them! But at that time, the city gates had already been closed, so what? Is it possible to get out? That is to say, the murderer should not have escaped from the city that night, but was hidden by the responders and sent out after the city gate was opened the next day."

The civil and military officials immediately echoed: "This is not impossible!"

Among them, a courtier raised his hands and said, "In other words, focus on the person who responds. If you can capture the person who responds, you will not only find the murderer, but also know who is behind the scenes."

Li Zhen thought for a while and asked, "Then, who would look like the respondent?"

Prince Landan Duying thought of it first, and replied: "For example, wizards, and people who bring large items out of the city!"

Li Zhen was in the hall and announced to the officials: "Such major cases will definitely happen again. If it happens again, according to what the county king said, we will strengthen inspections when the city gates are opened early the next morning after the murder. people, especially those dressed as wizards."

This morning meeting lasted for two hours, and it took more than an hour just to discuss the strange serial case, and the rest of the time was spent discussing military issues, farming and silkworm issues, sexual issues, and taxation issues, etc.Before noon, the meeting was finally over. The civil and military officials took out their handkerchiefs and wiped their sweat and left the palace.

Li Zhen and the twelve princes left from the imperial gate at the back of the palace, walked slowly on purpose, and looked back at their parents who were politely holding hands with the other ten princes to say goodbye. After a while, the three of them walked together and put down the meeting. Su Rong, chatting happily, crossed the long street, and before arriving at the inner palace, they all stopped and turned their heads just because they heard a voice.

The old eunuch shouted from behind: "Your Majesty! The Supreme Emperor! King Shaole! Can you walk slowly?"

The three of them looked back at the same time, and saw that the old eunuch was not the only one who came, and there was also a handsome and unrestrained man following behind.Li Zhen saw that the man's appearance was overwhelming, so he blurted out: "Mr. Wenren?"

Huang Yan didn't say much, he just waved his hands to these three people, the old eunuch replied on Huang Yan's behalf: "Qingluan City Jinling Pavilion Daqing Wenren Wuji wants to meet the Supreme Emperor alone."

Su Zhongming opened his lips: "I happen to be free. Wuji, come with me."

Huang Yan didn't say a word, just followed Su Zhongming forward, and came to a quiet palace.Su Zhongming walked slowly, straight to the point, and asked Huang Yan: "You came to the palace to find me at this time, what's the matter?"

Huang Yan replied: "Someone in Jinling Pavilion reported that they found Tiwu and brought them to the palace."

Su Zhongming smiled slightly: "So you came here for Tiwu?"

Huang Yan asked: "I didn't receive the news that you sent someone to Qingluan City to imprison him. Where did he go?"

Su Zhongming didn't want to hide the facts, so he told him generously: "I let him go and let Xuanjun Penglai take him back to his hermitage."

Huang Yan was surprised at the moment: "You let him go, and let Xuanjun Penglai take him away?"

Su Zhongming only said: "You should know that he has been deeply poisoned, and he only has half a year to live, so he no longer needs to be imprisoned. Since Penglai Xuanjun wanted to take him back to take care of him because of his relationship with his seniors, I have no reason to refuse. "

Huang Yan asked: "He really doesn't know who is the person who took away his poison-making treasure, and even poisoned him?"

Su Zhongming only nodded regretfully.

Huang Yan asked again: "Then he should remember that person's appearance?"

Su Zhongming only provided a few clues: "At that time, Timu only revealed that that person was wearing a ghost mask, which was somewhat similar to your old mask. I don't know if he deliberately imitated you." I can't speculate: "I'm afraid that the other party's real purpose is to pretend to be the head of Mufeng Club and create a series of strange cases, so that the world will think that Qingluan City has not captured the real head, and let the real head take the rest of the evil to stir up trouble outside." Said. Only then did she consider Huang Yan's feelings, and glanced back at him.

Huang Yan pulled the corner of his lips lightly, snorted coldly, and said: "Qingluan City didn't catch the real head of Mufeng Society... If it's according to what you said, I want to see who wants to humiliate me like this. "

Su Zhongming said happily: "I'm glad you have the motivation to investigate the murder case again."

Huang Yandao: "No matter what purpose that person caused the serial murders, I won't spare him just for pretending to be me! However, if I really find him out, how will Qingluan City reward me?"

Su Zhongming replied: "Of course I will promote you back to Xiangxuanzhu."

Huang Yan simply declined: "I don't want such a reward."

Su Zhongming turned his head and asked curiously, "Then what do you want?"

Huang Yan simply said: "Resign Yanfeng and I from the appointment, let Yanfeng and I leave Qingluan City!"

Su Zhongming was startled, especially when he looked into his silver-grey eyes, he saw the firm and serious look in the depths of the eyes, and then retracted his eyes after a while, lowering his eyes and conceding: "Okay. As long as you find out the mastermind behind the scenes Messenger, I agree to your request in the name of the city lord."

Huang Yan was very satisfied, and the purpose of this trip was finished, he just waved his hands to Su Zhongming, then turned and left.Su Zhongming looked at his back, with a smile on his lips, and said to himself: "Wuji is still Wuji at that time, for the one he loves at all costs! So before the murder case is over, Zhu Yanfeng must stay in Qingluan City well. "

On the palace road, Huang Yan strode forward, heading for the pass, ready to leave the palace city.Shangyuan Hexiang came up from the front, and greeted gently 'Mr. Wenren'.

Huang Yan stopped, bowed politely, and asked, "Why did Princess Ge Yunjun stop you from leaving the palace?"

Shangyuan He Xiang replied: "Mr. Wenren misunderstood, I just happened to meet you here. Since it is such a coincidence, I would like to invite Mr. Wenren to drink tea with you, and please Mr. Wenren to show respect."

Huang Yan replied: "It's a pity that I don't have such a leisurely mind. Jinling Pavilion still has a lot of business to do, so I'm leaving." After saying that, he just bowed, and then walked gracefully, passed by Shangyuan Hexiang, and left gracefully .

Shangyuan He Xiang froze in place, turned around after a while, looked at Huang Yan's leaving back from a distance, then lowered his eyes slightly, thoughtful, and then walked forward slowly, also heading in the direction of Li Gong.

Only two days later, in the courtyard of Zhu Zhengong, Su Zhongming was sitting on a stool in the corridor, with his back against a pillar, enjoying his leisure, when suddenly a figure broke into him from the outside, ran up to him, and was startled. He jumped a lot. He looked intently at the figure in front of him, calmed down a little after he saw it clearly, and wondered, "Hongli, why did you suddenly come in without even saying hello?"

Hongli immediately bowed and saluted, blurting out: "Your Majesty! Something is wrong! My father sent someone to rush into the palace to tell me that my mother is missing!"

Su Zhongming was stunned: "Senior sister disappeared? Did she leave nothing to explain where she went?"

Hongli shook his head desperately.

Su Zhongming hurriedly asked: "Have you searched Hongcheng?"

Hongli nodded desperately.

Su Zhongming asked strangely: "I didn't see her in the palace, where could she go?"

Hongli begged very anxiously: "The Supreme Emperor! Think of a way!"

Su Zhongming persuaded: "I know you are very anxious now, but I think she must have gone somewhere to do something. If she has a pair of Zaoshu swords with her, it will be safe for the time being."

Hong Li replied: "I'll go back and write a letter to ask my father if Zao Shu Shuangdao is at home!"

Su Zhongming answered: "If you're not at home, then she must have taken it with you, and nothing will happen for now. If you're at home, I'll send someone to search all over the twelve counties immediately!"

Hongli nodded heavily, and after calming down a little, he remembers to hold his hands in apology: "I was reckless just now, I'll go back first."

Su Zhongming watched Hongli leave, and couldn't help thinking: "Why would senior sister disappear suddenly?"
