The girl in white gradually moved away from the crowd, and the white money from the past was scattered all the way, leaving Chang Sheng standing there blankly.

"My little ancestor, let's go quickly, don't let Your Majesty wait."

Rigor urged anxiously on the side.

"She seemed to be very sad."

Chang Sheng said suddenly, with a hint of loss in his eyes, and he seemed to be infected by Miss Fu's emotions.

Rigor can manage this, just urging Chang Sheng to set off.

"Little Ancestor, don't worry about these messy things, it's important to get down to business first."

Chang Sheng sighed slightly, put away his emotions, and said

"Lord Yan, let's go.

Rigorous as being amnesty.

"Okay!"

Chang Sheng, under the escort of the strict and forbidden army, left the inn and headed for the palace.

It was almost noon, and it was the end of the morning dynasty every day and the time when the hundred officials left the palace.

Just followed Chang Sheng to the palace gate and collided with the hundred officials.

I don't know if it's intentional or not.

The six Shangshu in purple robes and the scholar Liu Zhongting of Qing Yage University walked in front of the hundred officials, but it was Chang Sheng who greeted them.

"Red Flower City Lord!"

The aged Liu atrium greeted Chang Sheng.

Beside him, the six Shangshu had different emotions on their faces, their expressions were different, some people saluted respectfully, but some people were flattering, and some people were smiling, obviously not very welcoming her, the new city lord.

However, Chang Sheng can be regarded as having seen the world, such a scene is not a big scene she has seen in her life, although she does not know the court etiquette, but it is always right to smile in return.

She smiled all the way in response, and at the end, she felt her face stiffen with laughter, and unconsciously rubbed her face and muttered

"It's a nuisance."

The rigor in front of him turned pale with fright, and quickly covered her mouth.

"My little ancestor, you must not talk nonsense in the palace, it will be listened to by people with a heart, but it will be hated by hundreds of officials."

Chang Sheng shook his hand and said boringly

"I know, I know, Lord Yan, you are more verbose than my mother."

Rigorous and suffering, he sighed secretly, when he met such a little ancestor, he would have to kill her sooner or later.

The two walked to the outside of the Qiankun Palace, his strict face became serious, he stood outside the door, motioned for Chang Sheng to follow him, only to see him cough lightly twice, tidy up his appearance, and said to the forbidden army outside the hall

"Report to the saint, the Lord of Red Flower City has arrived."

In the middle of the night, in the Qiankun Palace, a sharp and loud voice came

"Xuan Honghua City Lord enters the hall!"

Rigorous's face changed slightly, and he muttered in a low voice

"He's back?"

This did not escape Chang Sheng's ears, and he wondered

"Who's back?"

Rigorous was stunned for a moment, and smiled awkwardly

"It's nothing, it's the big eunuch next to the saint, Wang Huan."

Chang Sheng looked at him with a smile and patted him on the shoulder.

"Lord Yan, this can't be your opponent."

Rigorous smiled bitterly and pushed Chang Sheng.

"Little Ancestor, don't ask me, go in."

Chang Sheng was caught off guard and was pushed into the hall by him.

In the empty Qiankun Palace, a cool breeze suddenly blew in his face, causing Chang Sheng to be in a trance.

Her hands clenched unconsciously, and in the distance in front of the main hall, the human emperor sat on the dragon chair, looking at her with a smile, and beside her, there was an old man who looked like a eunuch, which should be the chief manager Wang Huan who was strictly speaking.

Chang Sheng walked forward slowly, until he reached the distance of the Emperor of the People, and was about to salute, when the Emperor's deep and deep voice resounded through the hall

"Miss Chang Sheng, I have some friendship with your brother, and now there are no outsiders, so there is no need to be formal."

Chang Sheng was stunned for a moment, and looked at the human emperor suspiciously, she didn't know what kind of friendship Chang An had with the human emperor, but she didn't want to ask, so she lowered her head and said

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The Human Emperor looked at Wang Huan on the side and said

"Let's give the seal."

Wang Huan replied in a low voice, and then took out a large red seal from the back of the hall.

Chang Sheng often likes to listen to the storyteller on the street, she thought that the ceremony would be as troublesome as in the book, but when she received the big seal, she did not expect that the whole process would be so simple, and there was not even anyone to watch the ceremony.

"That's it?"

Chang Sheng asked.

The Human Emperor nodded and smiled, saw through her thoughts, and explained

"Originally, it was very complicated, but you are from the rivers and lakes, and I know that the people of the rivers and lakes don't like trouble, so I will keep everything simple."

Chang Sheng bowed his head slightly

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The Emperor of the People

"I guess you must have guessed that this time I joined Taiyang, first, I need to use your brother's prestige to appease the emotions of the rivers and lakes, and second, I really want you to investigate a case."

"Wang Huan, talk about the case with the city lord."

Wang Huan said in a low voice

"Yes, saint."

"Then let's talk as we go."

Chang Sheng suddenly said mischievously.

Wang Huan looked at the Human Emperor behind him embarrassedly, and the Human Emperor smiled and nodded

"I'm also tired, Wang Huan, you send the Honghua City Lord into the mansion, and by the way, tell the City Lord about the case."

With that, he got up from his chair and slowly left the main hall.

Wang Huan bowed his head.

"Congratulations to the saint!"

After the emperor left, Wang Huan lowered his head and walked in front of Chang Sheng and stretched out his hand.

"City Lord, go this way."

It didn't take long for Chang Sheng and Wang Huan to walk on the cold Taiyang Road.

"Mr. Wang, what's going on with the boy's disappearance?"

Wang Huan looked well-behaved and bowed his head and replied

"Report to the city lord, in fact, since last year, there have been boys missing in the city, at that time there were only a few sporadic family reports, and they were all far apart, did not attract the attention of the government, but in recent months, the government has received more and more reports of missing boys, this month alone, the Taiyang Mansion has received more than 40 reports of missing boys, and last month also received 20 cases."

Chang Sheng asked

"What clues can Taiyang Mansion find?"

Wang Huan shook his head

"After checking for a long time, I reported a ghost and god committing a crime, and there was no follow-up."

Chang Sheng said

"Ghosts and gods commit crimes, this can also be handed over?"

Wang Huan smiled bitterly

"Naturally, it can't, it's just ......"

Chang Sheng asked

"It's just something."

Wang Huan suddenly became cautious and lowered his voice very low, as if he was afraid of being heard

"Don't you wonder why all the boys are missing?"

Chang Sheng said

"It's really strange what the kidnapper is trying to do."

Wang Huan said mysteriously

"Three months ago, Lord Xu Feng, the servant of the Criminal Department, was overjoyed to have a son, and the master of Taiyang Mansion calculated that the villain was going to do something to Lord Xu's young son, so he sent someone to ambush outside the Xu Mansion for several nights, and finally waited for the villain to take advantage of the night."

Chang Sheng asked

"And then."

Wang Huan said

"What's the matter, they didn't even see anyone, they only saw the dark night sky, and suddenly, a coffin fell from the sky and smashed heavily into the backyard of Xu's mansion."

"The people in Taiyang Mansion haven't had time to make a move, and the Xu Mansion is already looking for children all over the house."

Chang Sheng asked

"A coffin? Stealing a child? And what about coffins? ”

"Later, the people of the Xu Mansion checked the coffin to the bottom of the sky, and it was an empty coffin."

"It's like a ghost committing a crime."

"Who said it wasn't, you said, the people of Taiyang Mansion surrounded Xu Mansion, but the child still disappeared unconsciously, without revealing any traces, who was replaced, who could believe that this was done by people."

Chang Sheng asked again

"How did the people from Taiyang Mansion guess that the gangster was eyeing the Xu Mansion?"

Wang Huan chuckled

"It's not blind, those people have been fighting with that gangster for a few months, and they are more or less familiar with the gangster's way of acting, and they can still be blinded a few times, you don't know, before that, they were wrong more than a dozen times."

As he spoke, Wang Huan looked at the majestic official mansions on both sides of the road, but the doors of every household were closed, and he sighed

"This Taiyang Dao has not been so deserted before, since this happened, the door has been closed during the day."

As they were talking, they saw two people waiting for them in front of them.

"Old Yan."

Chang Sheng ran over, it was Lao Yan and Zhou Xi'er, who were standing in front of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, waiting for Chang Sheng.

"Lord of the Castle."

Zhou Xi'er saw Chang Sheng and pretended to salute Chang Sheng, Chang Sheng gave him a blank look and said

"Why are you here, I was just going to pick you up."

Wang Huan walked over.

"It was the old slave who sent someone to invite them over."

Chang Sheng smiled and saluted.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Wang."

Wang Huan said

"The lord of the castle is polite."

He looked at the glorious City Lord's Mansion in front of him and said

"Now that you have arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, the old slave will leave."

Chang Sheng nodded

"Mr. Wang has worked hard."

…………

At night, in the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion.

Chang Sheng and Yan Sihai sat in the courtyard, talking about entering the palace today.

"So, you're going to look into this case."

Yan Sihai said.

Chang Sheng nodded slightly

"I have a feeling that my brother asked me to come here to investigate this case."

Yan Sihai snorted coldly

"The things I told him to do have not been done so far, and I think about investigating the case all day long, and Chang Xiaozi is making fun of my old man."

Chang Sheng chuckled

"What did you find today?"

Yan Sihai's eyes changed

"Zhou Xi'er is not simple."

"How?"

Yan Sihai will be on the second floor today, and the conversation between the two will be repeated with Chang Sheng, and Chang Sheng will frown when he hears it

"Even so, it doesn't mean anything, if his grandfather is really a scholar, it is not surprising that he knows this."

Yan Sihai's eyes were like torches.

"It's better to be cautious."

But while the two were talking, the earth-shattering gong suddenly sounded on Taiyang Road outside the city lord's mansion.

"Boring!" "Boring! "Boring! "Boring! ”……

The deserted Taiyang Road suddenly became lively, and when Chang Sheng and Yan Sihai walked out of the City Lord's Mansion, the officers and soldiers held torches, like a long fire dragon, and entered Taiyang Road.

Chang Sheng and Yan Sihai saw the torches all over the street, and when they were surprised, a cold light struck at night.

A stormy sword came towards Chang Sheng's throat!

Before Yan Sihai could react, the sword had already come to Chang Sheng's eyes, even so, Yan Sihai still didn't panic, and looked at the black shadow with a sneer.

But in an instant, the peak turned around, and the sword staggered with Chang Sheng, and the sword-wielding killer just took a face with Chang Sheng and Yan Sihai, and actually passed between the two and rushed into the city lord's mansion.

Yan Sihai's expression froze, and then he reacted and said in a low voice

"Not good! Zhou Xi'er! ”

Then he rushed back to the house.

Chang Sheng stood in place stunned, everything that had just happened was too sudden, so she hadn't reacted yet.

Just hearing Yan Sihai's voice, she finally reacted and quickly ran to the house.

When Chang Sheng ran outside the courtyard where Zhou Xi'er lived, he saw the black shadow breaking through the door, and rushed out of the courtyard at a very fast speed, passing by Chang Sheng, without stopping, and quickly fled from the City Lord's Mansion.

"Tick."

In the courtyard, drops of blood fell to the ground, forming a long, thin line.

Then, Yan Sihai and Zhou Xi'er walked out of the house.

"Are you all right?"

Chang Sheng anxiously walked up to the two and carefully checked whether the two were injured.

Zhou Xi'er shook her head and said with a smile

"Sister, I'm fine, thanks to Lao Yan who buried a few poisonous snakes in my yard."

Chang Sheng looked at Yan Sihai suspiciously, Yan Sihai frowned and explained

"I was worried that the murderer would target this kid, so I prepared in advance, but I didn't expect that we were already being targeted on the first night we came."

Outside, the sound of gongs gradually stopped, but the noise continued.

The three of them walked out of the mansion and saw that the group of officers and soldiers were all gathered outside the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, and Yan Sihai casually grabbed an officer and soldier passing by.

"What's going on?"

The captured officers and soldiers were originally very angry, but when they saw that these three people were standing at the gate of the city lord's mansion, their arrogance subsided again.

"It was said that Miss Fu was burning paper money in her yard, and she almost gave it to her family."

"Look!"

Zhou Xi'er suddenly pointed into the distance, and the sky above an official residence suddenly burst into flames, and outside the official residence, many officers and soldiers were carrying buckets to put out the fire.

"Check it out."

Chang Sheng's face was calm, and he led Yan Sihai and Zhou Xi'er over.

Outside the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, officers and soldiers went in and out, and nearby people also stood outside the door to watch the excitement.

"It must be that Miss Fu is making trouble again."

"Alas, this big man invaded the government and the opposition, but he gave birth to such a well-behaved daughter."

"This Fu family is about to marry the Li family, what does Li Shangshu think, let his son take a madman home."

"If my daughter is not angry, who will let people have a good father, and they will be the right people."

"Also, Lord Fu is a fool, and Lord Li is willing to welcome him home."

Chang Sheng, who was on the side, listened to these women chatting, and was also curious, and asked

"Is this criminal department secretary and military department secretary going to get married?"

The women chatted, and they didn't notice that there was one more person among them, so they immediately said

"That's not it, this family affair has already been decided, then Li Gongzi and Miss Fu are also childhood sweethearts, but they just wait for Miss Fu to turn sixteen and then pass the door, counting the year, that is, this year."

Chang Sheng asked again

"Then why did Miss Fu suddenly seem to be crazy."

And the woman said

"Who knows, since last year, this Miss Fu has suddenly been like this, the housewife of this Fu family also asked the abbot of Xiangguo Temple to do a ritual, and it is useless, even the abbot said that this Miss Fu was attacked by evil spirits."
