Chapter 58: The Past of the Demon Fox

Chang Feng rode a fast horse and galloped in the direction of the Yamen of the Northern Zhili Domain.

He only knows now that the Yamen of the Domain Division has a demon fox and a mysterious disappearance of a woman. The specifics are unknown.

The people in the capital are no strangers to the demon fox.

Chang Feng galloped wildly while recalling all the stories about the demon fox in his mind.

In the first month of the twelfth year of Chenghua, the emperor led officials and nobles to the suburbs of Beijing to worship heaven and earth in accordance with the old customs.

In an instant, the wind howled, and the sand and rocks obscured the sky. There was even an officer who was hit in the head by a flying rock, and his brain cracked and died.

Emperor Chenghua believed in the metaphysics of the Mandate of Heaven. After returning to the palace, he concluded that such a strange thing happened during the sacrifice, and there must be a demon at work. So he ordered Dongchang and Jinyiwei to investigate thoroughly.

Dongchang and Jinyiwei visited again, but there was no result, and they were reprimanded by Emperor Chenghua.

Late one night, a little eunuch found a one-man tall demon fox haunting the palace. Emperor Chenghua was shocked and ordered Dongchang and Jinyiwei to capture. Again to no avail.

Emperor Chenghua, who believed in ghosts and gods, was in a panic.

At that time, the first assistant was a famous minister. Shang wrote to advise Emperor Chenghua to "be silent, strange and confused".

However, one of Wan Guifei's henchmen, Wang Zhi, the palm seal of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, stood up and refuted Shang Luo and swore that the demon fox did exist. And please take the order to catch the demon fox.

Emperor Chenghua praised Wang Zhi and handed over the matter of capturing the demon fox to Wang Zhi.

A month later, Wang Zhi caught a demon named Li Zilong in the palace. This person is known among the people for his use of witchcraft.

According to Wang Zhi's report, Li Zilong wanted to assassinate Emperor Chenghua and replace him. So he used witchcraft to incarnate as a giant fox and infiltrated the palace.

It looks like the demon fox case has been solved. Wang erected a great achievement.

However, Wang Zhi never expected that the suspicious Emperor Chenghua would give an order to let the demon Li Zilong demonstrate how to become a giant fox in public the next day.

The night before "turning into a fox", Li Zilong committed suicide in prison.

Although Emperor Chenghua is superstitious, he is not stupid. He concluded that Li Zilong was not a demon fox.

After a while, something strange happened in the capital again.

There was a rich man in business in the capital, surnamed Zhao.

Zhao Caizhu went to Baoding to buy goods, and met a homeless woman on the way, with long convex and pouting legs, so beautiful that she wanted to spend a night at a glance.

It is said that the beauty has the appearance of sinking fish and geese, in order to prevent the fish and geese near Baoding Mansion from suffering, covering her face with black veil for a long time.

When the rich man Zhao met her, he loved her so much that he didn't want it. Brought her back to the capital.

That night, hey, it was exciting. The gift of Zhou Gong, the joy of fish and water, the friendship of Guan Bao, the bed of the Zhao family is really shocking and crying ghosts and gods.

But as soon as it dawned the next morning, the beauty evaporated from the world and disappeared.

The people in Zhao's mansion died. The stupid cats and fat dogs are all dying. The fish in the pond are all belly up. It is said that even the earthworms in the ground are split in half vertically.

According to folk rumors, the rich man Zhao met a demon fox. Beauty is the embodiment of a demon fox.

In the following days, many people saw black gauze beauties in the dark night. As long as it encounters, the whole family will definitely die.

However, there will definitely be one person in the family who will tell others the horror story of meeting a black gauze beauty.

Strange things keep happening.

In the capital, there was another "black eye". The so-called "black eyes" are the black mist turned by evil spirits.

Whenever the people touch the black eye, they will be festered and blistered, and there will be burning pain.

In the palace, there is often a strange sound of weapons colliding in the middle of the night.

Wang Zhishang, the mastermind behind this series of strange events, is the demon fox. The black eye is the black veil worn by the demon fox.

The sound of the collision of weapons was because the demon fox wanted to enter the palace to harm the emperor. The souls of the famous generals of the Ming Dynasty fought with the demon fox with a blade.

Wang Zhi asked Emperor Chenghua to let him be in charge of arresting the demon fox.

Emperor Chenghua agreed. But Wang Zhicheng himself is short of manpower.

So Emperor Chenghua issued an order to establish the West Detective Factory, referred to as the West Factory. Wang Zhi was appointed as the first admiral eunuch.

Wang Zhi looked very dedicated. At night, regardless of the danger, he led a group of captains, wearing Taoist robes covered with dog blood, to patrol the capital.

It is said that one day and night, Wang Gonggong, who was loyal and brave and masculine, and could make evil people retreat, met Hei Xuan.

Regardless of his safety, for the stability of the Ming Dynasty and the peace of His Majesty the Emperor, Wang Gonggong chased and killed Hei Wei with a peachwood sword.

In the end, Wang Gonggong smashed Hei Wei away with a sword.

The black eye vanished into thin air. Moments later, its owner, the Demon Fox, appears to avenge Hei Wei.

The demon fox fox head, human body, dog claws, and huge mouth of blood basin are super invincible and terrifying.

Wang Gonggong, who was full of majesty and righteousness, had no fear on his face and shouted: "Long live His Majesty the Emperor!" With a peachwood sword in hand, he rushed forward to entangle with the demon fox.

That scene was really shocking when the Jade Emperor saw it, and the King of Hades was frightened when he saw it. Thief bloody, thief violent, exciting!

In the end, the brave and fearless Wang Gonggong won the victory of this human-fox battle. A peachwood sword pierced the demon fox's chest.

The demon fox turned into a puff of green smoke and scattered in all directions.

Since then, the strange things in the capital have disappeared! Emperor Chenghua eats so fragrantly, and he has the strength to walk. Climb to the highest point of the Forbidden City, Fengtian Temple, in one breath, without effort.

The biggest contributor to the killing of the demon fox was Wang Zhi. He was favored by the emperor for a while, and he was in the limelight.

The limelight of the newly established West Factory has also overpowered the East Factory and Jinyiwei.

Wang Zhi took advantage of his power to overthrow his political enemies Shang Shi and Xiang Zhong, wantonly fabricated charges, and made a big deal in the DPRK and China to prosper those who obey me, and those who oppose me die.

This is the beginning and end of the demon fox case. When Chang Feng was young, he heard his father and neighbors talk about it.

After entering Jinyiwei, he heard another part from the master who had experienced the demon fox case.

Chang Feng has his own understanding of the demon fox case: the cause of the demon fox case, the sacrificial strange wind, is just an ordinary whirlwind.

His Majesty the Emperor has a preconceived idea, not to say that it is a demon.

In order to cater to the wishes of the people, some people create chaos and fish in troubled waters. deliberately made a "demon fox". created a bloody case of Zhao Yuanwai and several ordinary people's families.

As for the so-called black eyes that are harmful to people, making people's skin festering and blistering, green alum can easily do it.

(Note: Sulfuric acid was called alum in ancient times).

Find a random person, squat in a dark corner at night, and splash green alum on people, won't it become a black eye and harm people?

And the biggest beneficiary of the demon fox case is Wang Zhi. He was ordered to form the West Factory and brought down a bunch of political enemies.

Whether it is the Fu Division of Jinyi Weibei Town or the Supervision and Arrest Department of the Criminal Department, the good people who handle the case know an iron law of case investigation: in the case of life, whoever benefits the most will be the most suspected.

The mastermind behind the demon fox case is self-evident.

Chang Feng, who was riding on a horse, said to himself: In this world, there are no demons at all. There are demons and people, and demons are also people.

The sinister heart of man is far greater than that of demons.

At present, the appearance of the demon fox of the clan division and the disappearance of the woman must also be a bad thing done by someone with ulterior motives.

What a one-man tall demon fox. It's just a means to confuse the public for the wrongdoers!

Chang Feng came to the door of the Yamen of the Domain.

Zhu Ji deliberately stopped him, and Zhu Ji said loudly: "There is an evil case of demon fox in the Yamen of the Domain, and Shang Dugong and Wan Commander are handling the case inside. Miscellaneous people are not allowed to enter. ”

Chang Feng exchanged glances with Zhu Ji, and pretended to be invincible: "Zhu Zhen Fu envoy, I have the prince's decree to reinstate!" You dare to stop me? ”
