"Hooray, hooray, hooray!"

In the courtyard of the mahout house, Gao De took the upper and lower people to bow and thank him.

It was the third day after the end of the Imperial Gate Ceremony, and it was late to announce the decree in the afternoon. Ma Yi was no longer so enthusiastic, but trembling like a mouse seeing a cat, and running away after announcing the decree.

Gao De was not surprised at all, after the ceremony, including Wang Kunlun's grandmother, his subordinates were almost like this. seems to see himself as a monster who comes out of the same door as the empress, and he has more awe and more life. Seeing that the side effect is the benefit of ordering and prohibiting, Gao De pretended to be deaf and dumb and admitted.

This belated decree of commendation was beyond Gao De's expectations, and he was not awarded the title of knight. Just looking at the holy decree, I thought it was snubbed or even suppressed. But with the decree came truckloads of rewards, which is puzzling.

Everyone in the mahout has a prize, and even the temporary workers have ten imperial gold dragon coins, and the people on the list of meritorious workers are even more rewarded. A set of red, blue, black and blue imperial robes, 30 imperial brocades, 100 imperial gold dragon coins, and two black star pistols inlaid with gold tiger and leopard patterns. There are countless pieces such as palace weaving and incense, as well as local products such as palace sweets and cakes, which are enough to open the royal market. However, buying and selling royal goods is a crime of deception and deception, and no one really dares to do it.

Gao De's reward was naturally the most conspicuous, in addition to all kinds of bits and pieces, he was also given a purple silk and gold striped flying fish suit and moire crown court boots that only courtiers could wear. The elongated luxury armored version of the steam car, polished brighter than the mirror, left behind by the convoy is even more eye-catching.

Wang Kunlun and the others exchanged "sure enough" looks, and they had no complaints about not being promoted to the rank of knight. Gao De pondered for a while with the holy decree, and felt that the sentence "There will be a reward after watching it" should not be a cliché. The empress is still unsure whether the role played by the mahout is good or bad, and it will take a while to determine the disposition of the mahout, and then determine his official reward.

Of course, I don't want any more rewards!

The subordinates shouted downstairs to share the spoils, and Gao De hid in his office and worked hard to write a thanksgiving note. The result is the best now, and it will be dangerous after that.

His Majesty's reward made the villain frightened, and he had to wake up until the middle of the night to reflect on whether he had inherited the emperor's favor beyond the villain's limit. The matter of the devil is just a villain blind cat hitting a dead mouse, and it is only successfully resolved thanks to the care of Her Majesty the Empress Hongfu and the head manager of Tosaka. With the ability of a villain, it is already very hard to lead the elephant taming to perform its current duties, and I dare not and cannot hope for higher officials and greater powers.

In a trance, Gao De regained the feeling of writing essays for the college entrance examination in his previous life, and his cheeks were bare, and his forehead was sweaty.

"Lord Baihu, Mr. Liang catches the phone!" Wang Kunlun's phone call interrupted him.

Gao De's direct line phone is not known to the ministries and institutes, and the calls to him have been called to Wang Kunlun, and Mr. Liang is the head of the patrol department of Zhongjing Mansion.

"Is there a big deal?"

Gao De looked up at the several TVs hanging on the opposite wall, from Zhongjing TV to the Falling Star Sea TV, including Yuanye TV, which became famous because of the Mozi incident and became a first-line TV station in Zhongjing, none of them reported any major news. You Santong is still in an exclusive interview with this station, and the guy is talking about his "adventures" vividly, and he is spitting.

"That's not true, it's just urging us to take action and help deal with the case of the Stranger. Wang Kunlun said in such a tone, "So the humble duty is still to reply for the Lord of the Hundred Households, saying that the demon appeared to find Yu Linwei, and the dead more than 100 people looked for Lin Commander, what did other things do before, and now it is the same?"

Gao De hummed, not care.

From the evening of the end of the ceremony, calls from various ministries and institutes have been pouring in, all of which are asking for the work of the elephant taming. At first, Gao De was still very nervous, so he didn't bother to go home to see his sister, followed Wang Kunlun out of the scene, and was busy all night.

It wasn't until the next day that there were more and more phone calls, and Gao De felt that something was not right. Not only did the number of cases of the aliens skyrocket, but the various ministries and institutes learned the news that the elephant taming institute had solved the devil incident, and found out that he was appointed by the empress to come to the elephant training institute to be a hundred households, and they all started to shake the pot. They all strictly restrain their subordinates, and resolutely ignore those cases that only have a little to do with them and can be managed.

All the ministries and courtyards stopped at the same time, and the extra supernatural cases fell into a state of no owner, but fortunately, Gao De decisively hung up the exemption card, otherwise he would definitely be running around outside at this time. And this made the patrol of Zhongjing Mansion suffer, and nominally the patrol division had to take responsibility for all the chaos in Zhongjing Mansion except for Zushan and Wuzhong Palace. ，

"Her Majesty expects a lot from us, and it is not for us to be bogged down in these minutiae and exhausted all day long. ”

Gao De originally prepared a rhetoric to appease his dissatisfied subordinates, but he didn't expect Wang Kunlun and others to sincerely agree to watch the chaos, and the applause lasted for more than a minute.

But is this battle really right now?

The image of the Imperial Gate Ceremony should have spread all over Zhongjing and is spreading to the local area, and even if the empress's god-like powerful image can't completely reassure the people of the Ming Dynasty, it shouldn't make people's hearts even more confused.

After Gao De finished writing the recital, he watched the TV and was stunned.

"The devil is real, and many people saw it on TV the other day. Demons come out of chaos, and chaos is in people's hearts. If the human heart is not pure, demons will naturally be born. ”

Falling Star Sea TV was doing an interview, and the expert interviewed was a feng shui gentleman, and this guy's remarks attracted Gao De's attention.

"Her Majesty the Empress is the Holy One of the Holy Mountain, and the Holy One is the one who specializes in dealing with demons. With Your Majesty here, our Ming Dynasty is as stable as the ancestral mountain! The Imperial Gate Ceremony? Yes, the Great Ceremony, although the poor road was not at the scene, but the power of Her Majesty the Empress's gods, the poor road can be sensed from a hundred miles away! So everyone has nothing to worry about, those who are filthy in their hearts and may turn into demons will inevitably be punished by the empress, and it is impossible to escape!"

Mr. Feng Shui seems to be full of positive energy, but the taste is very wrong to Gao De's ears. Is this a comfort or an intimidation, and is the Empress dealing with demons or mortals?

Maybe it's because he said that the evil demon appeared in the world, so that the culprit was a little weak.

Gao De was still self-examining, watching other TV stations, many hosts or "experts" were talking about demons, and then he realized that the empress's display of power at the Imperial Gate Ceremony further fermented the previous evil demon incident.

Didn't you say hello to the informants of Yuanye TV and Jinyiwei, since the evil demon has been solved, don't you publicize this matter anymore? You Santong was very peaceful, and after returning to Zhongjing TV station, he only talked about his heroism and avoided talking about the evil demon itself.

Switching to another TV station, seeing the familiar abandoned mine and the familiar evil demons, Gao De's eyes constricted.

The head of Tosaka has already taken away the original film of the Harano TV station, and there is no video recorder in this world, where did this TV station come from?

A faint gloom rose in Gao De's heart, and he realized that there was something wrong with public opinion in Zhongjing. It was supposed to promote how powerful the Empress was, but instead turned to revealing the terrifying truth of the world.

Conspiracy theories are born spontaneously in Gao De's heart, it seems that there is an invisible hand that is amplifying the evil demon incident, and then combined with the Imperial Gate Grand Ceremony, wanting to make the people's reaction leap from the first layer to the third layer, so as to promote the rise of chaos, no wonder the case of the supernatural in Zhongjing has been so active in the past few days.

"Lord Hyakho!"

Gao De was pondering, and Wang Kunlun hurriedly came in, still holding a newspaper in his hand.

"The Jinyi Wei branch in Menzhou reported urgently, saying that more than 100 suicides had occurred there, and there were obvious signs of evil power. ”

He handed the newspaper to Gao De, "It's yesterday, the evil demon incident in Zhongjing has been widely spread in Menzhou two days ago. The footage was broadcast on the local television station and the photos were published in the newspapers. ”

Gao De took the newspaper, and the big picture on the front page was a photo of the demon disemboweling his skull and sticking out his tentacles in the abandoned mine.

"How did it get to Menzhou so quickly!?"

Gao De's brows furrowed deeply, Menzhou is two thousand miles southwest of Zhongjing, and it is a transportation hub west of Zhongjing. The news that is prevalent in Menzhou will spread throughout the Ming Dynasty in no more than half a month.

"The local branch sent the newspaper by postal plane," Wang Kunlun smiled bitterly, "It only took half a day, and it only took a little time for the things from Zhongjing to pass over." ”

After a long silence, Gao De whispered, "Things are not good. ”
