"The book of the criminal department! Punishment Jiren! ”

"Yes!"

Li Huaiyun thought to himself that the book of the criminal department went to the sewer, presumably the situation should be very serious, why did the palace react very normally, and the emperor just asked me to go down to investigate this case!

Also, when a few of them came to the sewer, how could they not have touched that monster, the only possible explanation is that there are people in it who can control that group of monsters, so the biggest suspicion must be this criminal department Shangshu!

"Do you know what the origin of that criminal department book is?"

"What's the matter?"

"It's the past of his life, I suspect he may have something to do with monsters!"

"No, it won't!" An incredible look appeared on Yan Zheng's face, he felt that this kind of guess was wrong, from his understanding of this criminal department Shangshu, he should not do this!

"That guy, I heard that he knows fishing all day long, and the affairs of the court are all done by his subordinates."

"I don't know much about the rest!" He told Li Huaiyun what he knew,

"That's why I think it's unlikely."

After Li Huaiyun heard this, he also had a trace of suspicion about this, the life and deeds of this criminal department Shangshu did not look like he would collude with monsters at all.

It is unlikely that such a calm and indifferent person would do this, but it is another possibility, this criminal department Shangshu and the black-robed man are close relatives and friends!

And most of the plans of the black-robed people in the palace are in charge of this criminal department Shangshu! When you think about it, it's very likely!

Yan Zheng continued, "After these two people came to the sewer, they checked it and found nothing, so they left the sewer! After that, we all know that Chen Feng was found missing and died in the nearby mountains, his death was quite miserable, not like an ordinary person at all. ”

Li Huaiyun said, "There is a high probability that it was done by monsters!" ”

Yan Zheng nodded, "I think it is, too!" According to the soldiers inside, the last person who has seen this Chen Feng should be this Xing Jiren, and we should pay attention to this situation! Maybe you should go to the criminal department book first. ”

"You should be right!"

Li Huaiyun also agreed to this proposal, the most critical person at the moment is this criminal department secretary, no matter what, he must protect it first, otherwise after one step later, there will be more troubles.

He patted the desk, "Let's go!" Let's go meet this criminal department secretary now! Then he said to the wooden kite, "Hurry up and find someone, go to the mansion of the criminal department, and we will protect it immediately." ”

"Good!"

Yan Zheng took Li Huaiyun and Mu Kite, took a carriage, left the palace, and quickly went to the mansion of the criminal department.

Xiao Xia is a maid in the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department, responsible for the living of Lord Shangshu, her appearance and figure are not bad, but to Lord Shangshu, she is not attractive, and she doesn't seem to have looked at her directly.

She had served for so many years, and she knew that this Shangshu lord had no interest in the affairs of men and women, and only liked to fish and read and write in the study.

At this time, it was evening, the night was hazy, and the entire Shangshu Mansion was silent in silence, although lanterns were lit everywhere in the mansion, it also looked gloomy.

Xiao Xia walked through the corridor and was heading to Master Shangshu's study, her heart was beating fast, and she always felt that there were a pair of eyes staring at her in the bushes on both sides of the corridor, which made her uncomfortable.

In addition, in recent days, the house is not very peaceful, some people say that in the middle of the night, there are often strange sounds, such as chewing, and accompanied by a smell of blood!

Some wonder if it's haunted.

In fact, she had heard this sound a few times in her sleep, but it had always been soft in her ears, and it was also indistinct, until the night before, when she went to the hut in the middle of the night, that she really heard the sound.

Crunch! Crunch! It kept fluttering in her ears, making her hairs stand on end, and she was so frightened that she didn't even dare to go to the thatched house.

This voice is clearer, especially in this hallway!

Thinking of this, Xiao Xia's back was cold, she suppressed the fear in her heart, and prepared to use the fastest speed to cross the corridor.

No, it won't! No, it won't! I'm just scaring myself!

She swallowed and walked down the secluded hallway.

Crunch! Xiao Xia's heart tightened, she thought she had heard it wrong, lowered her head, and continued to walk forward, followed by another sound, crunch!

Her heart tightened again, and she looked around the corridor, and in the dark bushes, there was nothing around.

Xiao Xia was flustered by this voice, she quickened her pace and continued to walk forward, but this crunch sound also sounded even faster.

That's when she realized that she was on the same frequency as her. She stood there, not daring to move.

This long corridor seemed endless, and she couldn't finish walking, and her heart became more and more frightened, although she had covered her ears, but the sound seemed to be engraved into her brain.

Her whole body trembled, and she quickened her pace again, and just as she was about to walk out of the hallway, the voice suddenly stopped, and a back figure appeared in front of her.

This sudden back frightened her a lot, and she couldn't help but shout, "Ah! ”

The back didn't seem to be affected by him, and it still stood there motionless.

Xiao Xia realized that the back was very similar to Lord Shangshu, and even the clothes were exactly the same, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then bowed and saluted, "My lord, it's time to eat!" ”

As soon as her words fell, she heard the voice of Lord Shangshu, who looked very old, "Oh! It's time for dinner! ”

"What's the dish at night? Is there meat? ”

"Yes!" Natsu nodded in response, and at this moment, she heard the crunch again.

"My favorite thing is meat!" The crunch sounded again, like chewing on a bone.

Xiao Xia was startled, took a step back, she raised her head slightly, and found that the back was suddenly gone.

She shook her body and looked to the side, only to see that Lord Shangshu, biting an arm in his mouth, standing beside her with blood on his face, and then staring at her with terrifying eyes.

"Ahh She let out a terrible cry,

Li Huaiyun and Mu Kite, as well as Yan Zheng stood on the street, looking at the mansion of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, the door was closed, he used the Qi Technique to observe the inside a little, and the demonic aura in this mansion was surging!

At this time, it is sunset, and the night is gradually darkening.

It seems that my guess was right at first! Li Huaiyun thought to himself, there is indeed something wrong with this criminal department book.

Li Huaiyun stepped forward and knocked the gate, and after waiting for a while, the gate slowly opened a gap the size of a person and a half.

Inside the door, an old servant with white hair and a wrinkled face, the man showed half of his head and looked at the three people in front of the door.

"How many?"

Li Huaiyun said bluntly, "We are here to investigate the case, and we want to see the book of the Criminal Department!" ”

"Lord Shangshu, I am not feeling well today, and it is inconvenient to meet guests. So a few of you will come back another day! ”

"Another day?" Li Huaiyun pressed one hand on the door, "The case is urgent, I must see Lord Shangshu, please take the trouble to report it." ”

The old servant was a little impatient, "It's not that Lord Shangshu is unwell, and it is inconvenient to meet guests!" ”

Li Huaiyun directly took out the edict, "This is the emperor's edict, let us investigate the case by order, if you don't pass it on, it will be equivalent to resisting the decree!" ”

"It is also the emperor's will for us adults to rest!"

Li Huaiyun felt that there must be something hidden in this, it seems that there must be something wrong here!

Mu Kite pursed his lips, "I really can't imagine that someone dares to disobey the will, then we don't need to be polite!" ”

When the old servant heard this, he immediately prepared to close the door, so that he could not think of something, someone was quick-eyed, and kicked directly on the door, with great force, the old servant was shaken aside, and the door was kicked to one side, and the wooden shaft creaked.

"Such a big rebellion, you dare to trespass on the mansion of a first-class official, when the time comes, your lord will definitely go to the court and treat you for your capital crimes."

Li Huaiyun was surprised in his heart, he just wanted to reach out and hold the door, but he didn't expect this woman to kick the door open, so arrogant and unreasonable.

However, when I thought of her identity as a princess, I felt that it was reasonable.

He looked at the old man who fell to the ground, "Don't blame us, it's you who insist on going your own way and preventing us from investigating the case." ”

"You know, we are ordered to investigate the case, and you forcibly resist the order."

The three of them crossed the threshold and walked into the house.

Li Huaiyun glanced at the old man sitting on the ground, and didn't feel any guilt, this is also what he asked for, who let this old housekeeper stop it! By doing this, the wooden kite gave the old man a life.

"Where is Lord Shangshu now?" Li Huaiyun asked.

The old man sat on the ground and did not speak, but glared at them with an indignant expression.

"Don't say? At that time, if something happens, it will be up to your whole family to take the blame. ”

The old man's face turned pale with fright, but he was afraid that he would be used to blame him, so he quietly pointed inside.

The three of them immediately ran in that direction, but before they had run a few steps, they heard a roar not far away.

"Who dares to be presumptuous here?" The voice was thick and powerful.

A group of people walked out of the bushes from the stone pavement, they were cold on all sides, their faces were big and their necks were thick, and they knew at a glance that they had practiced martial arts.

The person in the middle of the front is a middle-aged man dressed in luxurious fabrics and in good spirits, judging from his face and the jade pendant he wears around his waist, this person's identity should be unusual.

At the same time, his posture is upright, and he walks with the wind, and at a glance he knows that this person is a practitioner and has two skills, but compared to a martial arts practitioner, this person's realm should not be high.

"Here are the housekeepers of Shangshu Mansion, the three of them trespassed into the mansion at this hour, I don't know what evidence the United States and Europe have?" The man saluted with his hands in fists.

"This is an edict," Li Huaiyun said, "We are responsible for investigating the case, and we want to find Xing Shangshu!" If anyone does not comply, he disobeys the will! ”

"Even if it's the emperor's edict, it's not a reason for you to break into the Shangshu Mansion! The country has national laws, and the family has family rules, and we did not disobey the will, but the head of the family is ill and it is inconvenient for many people to disturb him, so he needs to communicate it on his behalf and meet alone. ”

This person speaks reasonably, neither humble nor arrogant, and should be the steward of this house.

Mu Kite took a step forward, she didn't want to talk nonsense with this person, she was ready to break in directly, with his identity as a princess, no one dared to stop her.

However, he was stopped by Li Huaiyun and told, "Don't fight with them, we don't take care of it." ”

The kite whispered, "We have a hand. ”

"But they didn't resist the decree, they just need to communicate it, and they have high positions and powers, so they enjoy this right."

The man continued to look at Li Huaiyun and the others, "If you want to break in, don't blame us for being polite, Shangshu Mansion will not allow rude people like you to behave again." ”

"What?" Mu Kite was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect that someone would sue the wicked first, "Say we broke in?" It's clear that there are people who are weak and want to close the door, and now it's our fault? These guys are really good at talking. ”

"Don't be so impatient! Just do what they say. ”

Li Huaiyun pointed inside, "Then please pass it on your behalf." ”

The butler immediately called a man and whispered a few words in his ear, and the man turned and ran in.

"Isn't that stalling for time?" Yan Zheng stood beside him and said worriedly.

Li Huaiyun sighed, "There's no way around it, although we are investigating the case, we still have to abide by the rules, after all, they are first-class officials, and they didn't send people to forcibly resist, we really don't follow the rules by force!" ”

"As long as people don't run, then it's fine, and even if they do, then we have more reasons."

"So, procrastination doesn't do much use."
