Among the bookstores on Suzaku Street in Beijing.

Zhang Xiu and the boss were at a stalemate, with a very resentful expression, while the bookstore boss had a wry smile on his face and nodded no.

After "Young Ah Xiu" became a big hit, the owner of the bookstore found Zhang Xiu and promised to ask him for a manuscript with a lot of money.

When Zhang Xiu saw him in such a posture, he happily agreed, but when the boss saw Zhang Xiu's new book, his face changed in an instant, and he would rather give money for nothing than dare to accept his book.

Zhang Xiu looked at the chubby boss, in line with the principle of reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, he sighed helplessly, and complained: "A few days ago, I said that I was a fortune boy, and I didn't recognize people when I turned my face, and I was sent out of the door. ”

The bookstore owner squinted his eyes, and couldn't help but glance at the two books in Zhang Xiu's hand, one "Two or Three Things About Me and the National Teacher", and the other "Sister Guifei Niangniang".

Suddenly I felt that this boy who was giving money was clearly here to send himself to the end!!

The bookstore owner smiled wryly and explained: "Zhang Gongzi, don't say that I don't dare to accept your two books here, you just searched all over the whole of Daxia, and no bookstore dared to accept them!"

You better hurry up and take the money and leave, stay a little longer, I'm afraid the official will arrest me Ling Chi!" ”

Zhang Xiu depressedly accepted the tea fee prepared for him by the boss, put the two books on the counter, and said: "You are a bookstore, how can you still be afraid of death, it is really the most strange in the world!" ”

After speaking, he turned around and left in a dashing manner, leaving the bookstore owner alone and messy.

After a while, a guy walked up to the boss and asked in a tangled manner, "Boss, ...... these two books?"

The bookstore owner came back to his senses, looked at the two books on the counter, was shocked into a cold sweat on the spot, and said in a panic: "Hurry up and burn it!" In the future, hang a sign at the door, Zhang Xiugongzi is not allowed to enter! ”

On the other side, Zhang Xiu, who walked out of the bookstore, strolled down the street, hesitating to buy a bowl of tofu to try.

Suddenly, several people dressed in splendid robes and official clothes stopped in front of him, led by a young man with a cold face, stretched out his palm to stop Zhang Xiu, and asked: "Childe, please stay, dare to ask Childe is Zhang Xiu from Luzhou Academy, Zhang Gongzi?" ”

Zhang Xiu was immediately shocked, and said in a lost voice: "The government knows about my sale of fake test questions?" ”

Official: "??!! ”

Seeing a few people with shocked and inexplicable expressions, Zhang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm scared to death, it turns out that this is not the case, so what are you looking for me?" ”

The corners of the official's eyes twitched slightly, and he said, "The nobles in the palace are invited." ”

Zhang Xiu frowned: "Is it my sister who is a concubine?" ”

The official was stunned again, shook his head after a while, and stepped forward and whispered: "It's the Queen Mother's mother." ”

"The Queen Mother?"

Zhang Xiu was confused, and recalled for a moment in her heart, feeling that she had never seemed to have anything to do with her except for a few embroideries from her youth.

While walking, thinking about it, Zhang Xiu was soon brought into the palace.

The queen mother's bedroom was very elegantly decorated, and through a goose-yellow curtain, Zhang Xiu vaguely saw a dignified woman sitting on a chair.

When Zhang Xiu entered the door, the eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting left and right left left on their own, leaving only Zhang Xiu and the queen mother.

Seeing Zhang Xiu peeking in, the Queen Mother smiled slightly and said, "You kid is bold enough, you want to see what I look like, right, then come in." ”

Zhang Xiu's eyes lit up, she opened the curtain and walked in, and saw a beautiful woman about forty or fifty years old sitting on the golden chair, with kind eyebrows and eyes, and a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Well, I don't have more noses than ordinary people, do I?"

Zhang Xiu looked at the appearance of the Queen Mother, she always felt a little familiar, and after a closer look, she found that she was exactly the same as a portrait that the dean often saw, and suddenly felt a burst of horror in her heart, and her speech became stammering: "Well, I don't have more noses, I don't have more mouths, but I didn't expect you, Queen Mother...... It's a woman! ”

The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, and then cried and laughed: "If I were a man, the emperor would not want to." ”

"Makes sense......"

Zhang Xiu came back to her senses, smiled awkwardly, and said, "By the way, I don't know why the Queen Mother came to me?" ”

The Queen Mother did not reply, but looked at Zhang Xiu's familiar dress, a trace of remembrance flashed in her eyes, and she sighed: "Is Wang Taifu in good health recently?" ”

Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "The old man is in good health, but he is a little confused, and I don't know why, he actually disagrees with me being the next dean of the academy!" ”

Queen Mother: "......"

If he agrees, then he is really old and confused......

After being speechless for a moment, the Queen Mother restrained her expression and said, "The national teacher has already informed me about your arrest of the Five Paths, and you have done a very good job in this matter." ”

"Now there is a strange thing in the palace, many palace maids have disappeared inexplicably recently, and then their bodies have been found one after another, and their deaths are extremely miserable, as if they have been sucked dry blood, turned into a dried corpse, and their hair has become yellow."

"The national teacher has come to the palace to see it a few times, although it can be determined that it was done by demons, but there is no trace of demons. Posting charms here and there can only keep you safe for a while, so I propose that I bring you in and ask if you have any plan to catch that demon out. ”

Zhang Xiu suddenly showed a strange expression: "......"

Isn't the demon in the palace the noble concubine, this national teacher, is really a master who pretends to be confused!

After a period of silence, Zhang Xiu's eyes raised her face brightly: "Queen Mother, I thought of a clever plan, let's just release all the palace maids in the palace, and when the demon sees that there is no palace maid left in the palace, won't he leave by himself!" ”

The Queen Mother gasped with a toothache and said, "Sure enough, it's a clever plan, do you have any other ordinary strategies?" ”

Zhang Xiu sighed slightly, and said with a little entanglement: "Yes, yes, but before I do anything, Niang Niang has to give me a gold medal for exoneration in advance, uh, it's better to have another Shang Fang sword!" ”

The Queen Mother frowned slightly and asked, "The gold medal for exoneration is easy to say, what is Shang Fang's sword?" ”

Zhang Xiu was slightly stunned, and then gestured with his hand and explained: "Niangniang has never heard of Shang Fang's sword, it is the kind of ...... in the book The kind of sword that slashes the faint king and the courtiers! ”

Queen Mother: "@#¥%¥#@......"

Throughout the ages, what emperor would give people such a thing!!

It's okay to behead the courtiers, but ...... What does it mean to behead the unconscious???

Your kid's desire to catch demons is fake, and it's true that you want to rebel!
