Li Zhang carefully inspected the entire cave and each branch cave, but did not find any evidence to prove that this cave is related to the legendary hat demon, but as Liu Chengfeng said, this cave itself is a piece of evidence, because this is not at all possible to be built by manpower in this era, and even Li Zhang suspects that it is not easy to build such a cave even in the next generation.

For the cave itself, of course, Li Zhang is also very curious, especially the hat demon has appeared near the dragon gate many times, and this peculiar cave may really be left by the hat demon back then, if this is really the case, then what is the hat demon, is it an alien or a legendary monster, in addition to alien technology and witchcraft, Li Zhang really can't think of any other explanation for the formation of this stone cave.

However, although Li Zhang had more questions, he also gained something, at least Igle was caught, and it was certain that there were Manichaean ghosts in the yamen, and Li Zhang asked Liu Chengfeng and his son to hang him up, and then prepared to leave this cave.

It's just that when he was about to go up, Li Zhang turned his head again to look at this peculiar cave, it didn't seem to belong to this era like himself, and there was no way to explain the reason why they appeared in this era, which made Li Zhang even more confused, does the hat demon exist? What kind of creatures are they? Where did it come from? Does it have anything to do with crossing by yourself......

Li Zhang had a series of question marks in his mind, but unfortunately the cave was a dead thing, and he couldn't answer his own questions at all, and Li Zhang himself couldn't explain the reason for his crossing, so he could only rely on his own guesses and similarities, but there may be a huge gap with the real facts.

On the way back, Li Zhang was still thinking about the above problems in his mind, but in the end, his brain was about to explode, but he still had no clue, and finally he simply shook his head hard, and then these questions were left behind, since he couldn't figure it out, then don't think about it, anyway, he came here, and he also has a wife and children, so let's live this life seriously!

When he returned to Luoyang City, Li Zhang specially ordered Liu Chengfeng and Igle father and son to show the public in the car, people who don't know the inside story may think that he went out of the city today to arrest Igler, and with Igler's arrest, the case of the hat demon wounding people can finally be closed.

However, before the case was closed, Li Zhang did not plan to let go of some other temples and Taoist temples in the city that participated in the fake hat demon, he asked people to collect evidence, and then arrested the participants of these temples and Taoist temples.

Although these people did not hurt people like the Hui people, they almost caused panic in the city, so the punishment was also very severe, not only took back the degree plate, deprived them of their status as monks, but also exiled to Lingnan, and at the same time punished these monasteries and Taoist temples with heavy money, not only let them vomit all the food they had eaten before, but also lost a lot.

As for the Manichaeism, which was bold, pretending to be a hat demon and hurting people, resulting in several serious injuries and deaths, it was directly banned, and the Dayun Guangming Temple in Sishunfang was also demolished, and some Manichaeans were expelled, as for Liu Chengfeng and Igler, who participated in the crime, they all had to be escorted to the capital for interrogation, and in the end they should all be capital crimes.

It is worth mentioning that the inner ghost in the yamen was also quickly found, it was a cell boss in the prison, because when Li Zhang and they returned to the city, this cell boss knew that his identity was going to be exposed, so he escaped in advance, but he was also captured soon, the reason why he reported to Liu Chengfeng was also because he was bewitched by Manichaeism before and believed in Manichaeism, which was also Li Zhang's negligence, and he did not investigate the Manichaeans in advance, so he let the other party take advantage of the loophole.

The case has been closed, Li Zhang originally wanted to stay in Luoyang for a few more days, by the way, if there is a good view, he can also take his family to go around in the future, but because of that strange stone cave, he is now also full of questions, although he doesn't want to think about it for the time being, but he doesn't have the heart to play, and there are a lot of things in the capital, so he asked people to make a prisoner car, and escorted Liu Chengfeng and these criminals to leave Luoyang City.

Originally, Li Zhang was also worried that someone would rob prisoners on the road, after all, although the power of Manichaeism in Luoyang was uprooted, there are still many Manichaeans in other places, and even there must be Manichaeans hidden in Luoyang, but this road is surprisingly calm, of course, this is also related to Li Zhang's large number of forbidden troops, even if ordinary people want to rob prisoners, I am afraid they do not have the ability.

In the end, Li Zhang returned to Tokyo very smoothly, and when they came to the East City Gate, they saw the crowd in front of the gate at a glance, and in the crowd, Li Zhang also saw Douzi standing beside the raccoon dog at a glance, which made him also relieved, because the imperial examination has ended, and Douzi is now standing beside the raccoon dog with a smile on his face, which means that he should have passed the Jinshi examination.

Sure enough, Tanuki saw that Li Zhang was also the first to rush up and shouted: "Big brother, Brother Douzi has been admitted to the Jinshi!" ”

Li Zhang also laughed when he heard this, first congratulated the beans, and then met with his family, Qingori also came with An Ran, and he was very happy to see Li Zhang at this time, especially An Ran, who refused to come out when he got into Li Zhang's arms.

Li Zhang asked Liu Chengfeng to send these criminals to Kaifeng Mansion Prison for temporary detention, these people are repeat offenders, although Li Zhang has full power to dispose of them, but he still hopes that the court will interrogate them, of course, he can also be lazy.

At the moment, Li Zhang returned home with his family, the wild dog had already gone back to his home with Xiuxiu, the husband and wife had been separated for many days, and Xiuxiu was pregnant, so there must be a lot to say.

Li Zhang and Qingzhi are also newlywed, Li Zhang originally wanted to find Douzi to ask him about the Jinshi examination, but unfortunately later he indulged in gentleness in the countryside, until he woke up the next morning, the refreshed Li Zhang had breakfast, and then came to the front yard to find Douzi, but he didn't expect Douzi to still be reading at this time.

"Haven't you already passed the exam, why are you still working so hard?" Li Zhang pushed the door into Douzi's study, and couldn't help but smile when he saw Douzi reading.

Seeing Li Zhang come in, Douzi was also a little embarrassed to put down the book in his hand and said: "I was used to it before, and now although I am a jinshi, I still have to wait for the court to arrange a position, so there is nothing to do during this time, and if you are idle, you might as well read more books." ”

Hearing Douzi's words, Li Zhang also glanced at Douzi with some surprise, and then he found that Douzi had really grown up, and his height was no longer lower than himself, and because of many years of studying, he also had more elegance as a scholar, coupled with Douzi's rich experience, which made him a little more calm than his peers.

However, thinking of the above, Li Zhang hesitated a little, and after a while, he solemnly stared at Douzi and said: "Douzi, I mentioned to my aunt before, as long as you are admitted to the Jinshi, I will let you marry Tanukier, and my aunt agreed, and now I ask you again, are you really willing to marry Tanuki?" ”

"I always want to marry a raccoon dog, please make it happen!" Douzi also took a step forward seriously at this time, the reason why he studied hard was to marry a raccoon, and it was with the support of this belief that he could come to this point.

"But you have to think clearly, my Great Song Dynasty has always been very wary of foreign relatives, especially horses, it is generally difficult to do anything too big in the officialdom, and you are young and admitted to the Jinshi, it is the time to show your ambitions, are you really willing to give up these for the sake of the raccoon?" Li Zhang asked again at the moment, he had to make these words clear to Douzi in advance, so as not to regret it in the future.

"I've thought about what the eldest brother said, I don't care if I enter the officialdom or not, as long as I can be with the raccoon, and my relatives are not completely unable to participate in government affairs, for example, eldest brother, you are also a relative, aren't you still reused by Your Majesty?" Douzi heard Li Zhang's words but said very easily, perhaps under the influence of Li Zhang, he also looked down on official careers and the like.

Hearing Douzi say this, Li Zhang also showed a satisfied smile, and nodded immediately: "Okay, I'll rest assured with your words, tomorrow I will enter the palace to report to Your Majesty about Luoyang, and then I will also propose to Your Majesty!" ”

"Brother Xie!" Douzi was also very excited when he heard this, and even forgot to ask Li Zhang about going to Luoyang to check the hat demon.

And although Li Zhang's face is happy, the taste in his heart is quite complicated, after all, the raccoon dog is his sister, although he now knows that he is only a cousin, but in his heart he has always regarded the raccoon dog as his own sister, and the eldest brother is like a father, he has personally pulled the raccoon dog up, it can be said that he and the raccoon dog are called brother and sister, in fact, they are more like father and daughter emotionally, and now they want to marry the daughter-like raccoon dog, which also makes Li Zhang's heart mixed.

After asking about Douzi's attitude, Li Zhang went to test Tanuki'er's attitude again, after all, he is not a feudal patriarch, and he still has to respect Tanuki'er's attitude in marriage. Tanuki usually looks very aggressive, but she is very shy in marriage, and only says "everything is up to the eldest brother and the queen mother", and then ran away, it seems that she is very willing.

"The female university is not staying!" Looking at the figure of the raccoon dog running away, Li Zhang couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and his heart was even more uncomfortable, and then turned around to find Qingzhi, wanting to find some comfort from his wife, but he didn't expect to see his daughter An Ran at a glance, which made him think that when An Ran grew up, he would marry and leave like a raccoon dog, and he would already be an old father by then, which made Li Zhang's heart even more twisted.

Out of sight and out of mind, in the end, Li Zhang simply went out of the house, thinking that Miaoyuan also went to greet him yesterday, but because Qingori was there, it was inconvenient for him to chat with her, so he turned around and went to Miaoyuan's princess mansion.
