Chapter 57 Strange things are happening

Because the recent weather is rainy, there is not a star in the sky at night, the earth is pitch black, the usual Dragon City is known as the city that never sleeps, but because of the recent rain, there are a lot fewer pedestrians on the street, and the shops are closed early, so cold and dark night, the boss and the clerks also went back early to sleep with their wives, and the rain on the eaves flowed down the tiles. The occasional horse-drawn carriage or two galloping past would cause the house dogs in the alley to bark wildly.

A black shadow swished from the foot of the street to the roof and disappeared, and then the faint light, you can find that the black shadow is quickly running in the direction of the palace, and after a while the black shadow disappeared between the many pavilions of the palace, the strange thing is that this black shadow did not attract the attention of the master of the palace hidden in the shadows. It's interesting, maybe it's dark, or maybe it's because the wind is louder outside. There is no way to study these things, in short, this black shadow successfully entered the palace of Da Yin.

Emperor Tang Ning is in the imperial study at this time to review the folds, Tang Ning since he ascended the throne, hard work day and night for state affairs, and he can be regarded as a good monarch, but the court has been in trouble for a long time, most officials are mediocre and incompetent, so even if Tang Ning is so diligent, he still can't stop the decline of the Great Yin Dynasty, the current emperor is much older than twenty years ago, and he has not yet reached old age, and white hair has grown on his head.

Suddenly, a cat meow broke the silence in the palace, followed by several creepy screams.

"Lao Liu, go see what's going on outside. The tired emperor waved his hand and asked the old eunuch beside him to go out and have a look.

Not long after, the old eunuch led Liu Cheng, the chief of the internal guards, in.

"Back to Your Majesty, two palace maids died. Liu Cheng reported in fear, and he had not yet recovered from the fright just now.

The emperor was also tired of correcting the folds, and at this time, he was interested in listening to Liu Cheng's answer, and asked casually

"How did you die?"

"One was half eaten by a ghost, and the other was frightened and died with a ruptured heart. ”

"After nonsense, there are no ghosts in the world, go, I'll take a look. Tang Ning glanced at Liu Cheng angrily, and followed the personal eunuch towards the place where the palace maid died.

When Tang Ning saw the tragic situation of the palace maid's death, he was also frightened, only to see a corpse on the ground that had been blurred with flesh and blood, as if it had been eaten half by something, and a palace maid next to her who was quite beautiful, with round eyes and foaming at the mouth, had been dead for a while, obviously this palace maid was scared to death, and several palace maids standing next to her were telling the recorder next to her about the incident.

The Emperor asked, pointing to the corpse that was only half left,

"Did you guys see what she was bitten to death?"

When the palace maids saw that it was His Majesty the Emperor, they were so frightened that they hurriedly reported.

"Your Majesty, the name of the palace maid who was eaten is Xiaohong, and the six of us are talents in the imperial study today. I don't want to walk here just now and suddenly float down from the eaves of the house, the female ghost in white clothes has been pale all the time, this female ghost grabbed Xiaohong and gnawed to death. A sister couldn't stand this and was scared to death on the spot. A few of us were also scared half to death, but fortunately, the Ouchi guards arrived in time, and the female ghost escaped in a hurry, otherwise, several of us would have died. The palace ladies wept while answering the emperor's question, looking very pitiful.

After listening to the descriptions of the palace maids, His Majesty the Emperor did not speak, but quietly thought about it, in fact, he did not believe in these demons and gods from the bottom of his heart, and the ordinary hauntings were all pretended by people, just to achieve certain goals. The most important thing now is to solve the case as soon as possible, so that the panic in the palace can be eliminated in time.

The emperor ordered Dali Temple to enter the palace to investigate the case, but the Dali Temple's catch was investigated in the palace for half a month, not only did the female ghost not catch, but the catch was also eaten by the female ghost.

When the emperor saw that the matter was more difficult, he became worried, and at this moment, the prime minister said,

"Since it's the ghosts who come out to cause trouble, then why don't we let the immortals of Qianyuan Academy subdue them?"

The emperor listened to the prime minister's suggestion and felt that it was feasible, so he sent someone to the Qianyuan Academy and asked the academy to get rid of this evil female ghost for the palace.

Niu Qingcao, the dean of Qianyuan Academy, only frowned after watching Emperor Dayin's note, and threw this hot potato to the demon extermination team some time ago, and gave them a deadline to solve the case within a month. The members of the demon elimination team have only been busy cultivating since they came back, how can they have the kung fu to take care of such idle matters, you push me, I let you, and finally handed over this task to Zheng Wenbin and Wenzhu. This is also the beginning of the conversation of Teacher Zheng Wenbin in the Fengxian Restaurant, in fact, at that time, he and Wenzhu already knew that the academy had decided to let a few of them go to the palace to investigate the case.

In the palace, in recent times, almost a few days later, there will be a person who was eaten by the female ghost and died, although the palace is full of masters, but still can't find out where the female ghost is hiding. Because of this matter, His Majesty the Emperor has been angry several times and removed the position of Dali Temple.

On this day, the carriage of the county lord's mansion drove into the gate of the palace, and a pair of men and women walked out of the carriage, the male scholar was dressed and polite. The woman is dignified and beautiful, and her appearance is exquisite. They are none other than Shu Shu and Tang Wan'er.

Yesterday, the instructor Zheng Wenbin found them and told them in detail about all the strange things that had happened in the palace recently. and also said that the academy handed over the investigation to a few of them.

After listening to Zheng Wenbin's words, the husband and wife seemed to understand the specific situation in advance, so they had today's entry into the palace.

Tang Ning, the emperor of this matter, was drinking tea in Yuqing Palace, and there was Concubine Li beside him waiting around.

The two entered the Yuqing Palace and hurriedly greeted the emperor and Concubine Li, and the emperor waved his hand and asked the two to sit down.

"Have you two been doing well lately?" asked the Emperor as he sipped his tea.

"Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, only since the wedding with the county lord Wan'er, the two of us have raised their eyebrows together, and we have a good life. Here is a little bit of heart prepared by me and Wan'er, which can be regarded as filial piety to Your Majesty. I heard that His Majesty likes calligraphy, and when our daughter Xiang passed by, we went to their largest calligraphy and painting store to buy it. The statement replied cautiously.

The scroll handed over by the emperor and the eunuch slowly opened it, and after a full quarter of an hour, His Majesty the Emperor raised his head, looked at the two of them and said,

"You have a heart, say, what else?"

"Your Majesty is really discerning, and we are here to do something. A few days ago, the academy sent someone to report that we should cooperate with the imperial court to investigate the haunting of the palace. My husband and wife wanted to come and see the situation in advance. The statement said.

"Pass Liu Cheng over. His Majesty the Emperor said casually while drinking tea, and after a while, Liu Chengcheng, the head of the guard, hurriedly walked in.

"Liu Cheng, these two were sent by the academy to investigate the case, and your internal guard office must fully cooperate. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Minister's command. ”

"Well, I'm tired, you guys go down. ”

Shu Tong and Tang Wan'er followed Liu Cheng to watch these haunted places, because the time was very long, the scene was not protected, and there was nothing of value, and then they looked at a few corpses, and did not find anything unusual from the corpses, which was basically consistent with Liu Cheng's description. When the two of them got out of the palace in the carriage. The silent statement finally raised his head, a thin needle tightly in his hand.
