[The seventy-first year of the Great Qiankang Yuan, the fifth day of the fifth month of May, the time of the year, the Zichen Hall of the Daming Palace]

After Nangong returned to his mansion without saying a word, he rested for three hours, and on this day, he took Mao Jiaojiao's body and came to Daming Palace to meet the Son of Heaven.

When Li Chongsheng heard Gao Liangshi's announcement, he was immediately overjoyed, and the emperor was in the Zichen Hall and met Nangong silently.

Li Chongsheng ordered someone to call the princes, as well as Yuan Tiangang, the chief of the Qin Heavenly Prison.

In front of the emperor and the princes, Nangong silently opened the package wrapped in the little flower cat. When everyone saw such a bloody dead cat at first glance, they were all a little suspicious. Li Xi, the king of Jin standing in the hall, couldn't help but sneer secretly, I have seen that Mao Jiaojiao with my own eyes in the cave of Jinding Mountain, what a charming and beautiful woman it is, how is it a dead cat in your hand?

And Li Jin, the king of Wei, saw this dead cat, and his eyebrows couldn't help frowning slightly, he didn't worry about it in his heart, Nangong Nangong, I came to your Tsing Yiwei with the third brother, although we set a deadline for you and Shen Huan to catch demons at the same time, but our main purpose is to put pressure on Shen Huan, why are you so anxious? If you want to try to get a dead cat to fool around, then you really miscalculated!

Li Chongsheng, who was sitting on the dragon chair, saw the bloody dead cat, but nodded, but the emperor was still a little uneasy, so he pointed to the cat corpse, turned his head and asked Yuan Tiangang:

"Yuan Qing, take a look, is this the cat demon of the day?"

Yuan Tiangang, the Qin Heavenly Supervisor, didn't dare to slack off, so he walked to the front of the cat corpse, secretly opened his eyes, and after taking a closer look, he immediately bowed to the emperor and said:

"Your Majesty, this dead cat brought by Nangong Qianhu is indeed the original body of the cat demon!"

"Okay!" Li Chongsheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately got up from the dragon chair, looked up to the sky and sighed:

"Zuo'er, my father has finally avenged you, today, the cat demon is dead, and your soul under the spring can rest in peace!"

Li Chongsheng asked silently towards Nangong again:

"Nangong Qianhu, you have a meritorious role in killing the cat demon, I want to reward you with a great benefit! What reward do you want?"

Nangong was silent, hurriedly leaned over and saluted, and said respectfully:

"Your Majesty, catching demons and subduing demons and protecting the safety of the people of Chang'an is a matter within the responsibility of the micro-ministers! Moreover, the fact that the micro-ministers can get rid of the cat demon also depends on Your Majesty's Hongfu! The micro-ministers never dare to ask for a reward!"

Nangong was silent in his heart, but at this time, he secretly pinched a cold sweat. He said again and again, it's so dangerous, it's so dangerous!

Just because on that day, after the emperor gave Xu Ke a three-day deadline for catching demons, he once persuaded Xu Ke to let Xu Ke just catch a dead cat and fool the emperor first. Now it seems that there is still a Qin Tianjian Yuan Tiangang in the middle of the Great Qian, and there is such a Taoist master, how can he be fooled by a dead cat that he picked up at will? !

Li Chongsheng saw that Nangong was silent and so humble, but instead waved his hand and said with a smile:

This cat demon has made the capital very unpeaceful, and half of the people in Chang'an City are scared half to death by this cat demon. I went out to the capital, and all walks of life went out to arrest this cat demon for more than two months, but they couldn't catch it! Now, this cat demon has been eradicated by you in one fell swoop! If I don't reward such a meritorious achievement, wouldn't it seem that I am stingy?......

Li Chongsheng then looked at Li Yi, the king of Zhao on the side, and the emperor saw that Li Yi was staring at the corpse of the cat demon for a long time, and his expression seemed to be thoughtful, so he asked Li Yidao:

"Yi'er, what do you think I should do to reward Nangong Qianhu?"

At this moment, Nangong was silent and looked sideways at Li Yi, he knew that between the third prince King Zhao and the seventeenth princess Li Qi, their brother and sister relationship was the closest. If Li Yi can help him say goodbye, there may be a great possibility between himself and the princess.

Thinking of the delicate face of the seventeenth princess Li Qi, as well as her sassy and heroic posture, Nangong Buyu's heart couldn't help but feel a little excited. He couldn't wait to take a step forward immediately, and bowed his hand to the Son of Heaven and asked, Wechen implored Your Majesty, Brigadier General Nengen, Her Royal Highness the Seventeenth Princess, to marry Wechen!

However, Nangong Buyu still didn't dare to take this step.

However, at this time, Li Yi stared at the corpse of the cat demon with a pair of eyes, his expression was still engrossed in thinking, and his father's questioning seemed to be deaf.

"Yi'er, what are you thinking?" asked Li Chongsheng again.

Li Jin, who was beside Li Yi, touched Li Yi's arm and reminded:

"Third brother, what did my father ask you, what should I reward Nangong Qianhu?"

Li Yi raised his head and said casually:

"Father, it's better to reward Nangong with a thousand taels of gold!"

Looking at Li Yi's expression, it seems that Nangong Bu Si's credit is nothing more than that, anyway, his father has nothing else, how much gold and silver treasures he wants, and he will casually reward him with a thousand taels of gold, that is.

Li Chongsheng couldn't help nodding again and again, and said with a smile:

"Well, that's what Yi'er said!"

So, the emperor was in this Zichen Hall and conveyed his message to Gao Liangshi.

Nangong is silent and meritorious, rewarding 1,000 taels of gold, 100 brocades, and two court utensils!

Dressed in Tsing Yiwei, three days later, the body of the cat demon was brought to the Caishikou Execution Ground, and the punishment of "Ling Chi Dividing the Body" was punished in public, in order to vent the anger of the people, to calm the hearts of the people, and to tell the soul of the deceased in the sky!

After the emperor's order was completed, he ordered everyone to retreat, leaving Li Yi, the king of Zhao, alone.

When everyone dispersed, in the Zichen Palace, only Gao Liangshi, the head of the inner court, bowed down and waited in the dark place between the pillars of the palace.

Li Chongsheng ordered Li Yi to sit down on a leather pestle, and the emperor immediately asked: 100 literature

"Yi'er, why are you so worried when you see the dead body of that cat demon?

Li Yi immediately replied: "Father, the sons think that the monsters that are causing trouble in Chang'an City are not only cat demons, perhaps, cat demons are harmful, but they are only small harms, real big harms, and they are still hiding in the shadows?"

"Oh?" Li Chongsheng asked again, "In your opinion, who is the real disaster that has caused trouble in Chang'an City?"

"Father, this matter is still being investigated, according to the clues at the moment, the real big harm, or is it a witch?"

"Witch, Yi'er, where did you know that there is still a witch entrenched in Chang'an City?"

"Father, that witch, with a veil on her face, looks like a girl, and her posture is extremely gorgeous, that night, Murong Huan, the second son of Tianbao Pavilion, saw it with his own eyes......"

So, in front of the emperor, Li Yi told his father Emperor Chen about the fact that Yiqing and Li Qi met a suspicious veiled girl that night. It's just that he was afraid that his father would blame his seventeenth sister, so he had to change the people who saw the veiled girl to Murong Huan of Tianbao Pavilion.

After Li Chongsheng listened, he pondered for a long time and said slowly:

"Listen to what you just said, that veiled girl, I seem to have seen it somewhere!"

"Father has seen that witch before?"

"Hmm!" Li Chongsheng nodded, and continued:

"I'm not sure if the girl I saw is the same person as the witch you mention?......ed?"

The emperor lowered his head and thought for a long time, but he still couldn't remember.

Li Yi didn't wait for the emperor to think about it, and suddenly asked;

"Father, do you know that there is a place called 'Tianyin Palace' in our Daqian capital?"

"Tianyin Palace?" Li Chongsheng suddenly asked in surprise, "What kind of place is that, and where is it located in Chang'an City?"

Li Yi replied: "Father, the details of this 'Tianyin Palace' have not yet been clarified. Erchen just heard the master say that what his old man meant, saying that this witch may be a character in the 'Tianyin Palace', and he asked Erchen to pay attention to the movements of the 'Tianyin Palace' in the past few days......"

"This is the order of the White Old Pavilion Master?" Li Chongsheng's expression was straight, and he hurriedly asked:

"That'...... Yi'er, this 'Tianyin Palace' is so secretive, and the people inside are probably all characters of the demon clan, you have to be careful when investigating the case! Do you want your father to send someone to assist you in investigating the case?"

Li Yi shook his head and sighed:

"Father, in this case now, the culprit of the crime is either a demon or a demon, and it is true that it is not appropriate to alarm too many people! Moreover, to deal with demons, ordinary mortals can be their opponents, and this case, it is enough for me and my junior brother to investigate the case without illness. ”

Li Chongsheng nodded, and when he saw that Li Yi insisted on doing so, he didn't say anything more.

The Emperor changed his words and asked about the deer demon trapped in the outer courtyard of the Divine King Pavilion.

"Yi'er, that Xiao Guoshi Lu Huoli, what's wrong with him in the God King Pavilion right now?

Li Yi nodded, and then reported in detail to his father, that the frosty old monster Lu Huoli was still in the outer courtyard of the Divine King Pavilion at this time, trapped in the gatekeeper array set up by his master Bai Wuming......

When Li Chongsheng heard this, after thinking about it for a while, he sighed again:

"This Lu Huoli, self-proclaimed 'Flowing Frost Sword Immortal', his swordsmanship can be described as the pinnacle, and the frost sword qi he cultivates is almost unmatched in the world......! It's a pity!"

"Father!" Li Yi said:

"According to the master's arrangement, that deer demon, today's longevity is not over!

"Oh, what does the old pavilion master mean that he doesn't want to take Lu Huoli's life?"

"Yes! The master always said on his lips, that is, 'God has the virtue of a good life!' His old man once personally warned his sons, saying that everything in the world has a destiny, and those who are human beings must have compassion and do not act with murderous intentions! In the eyes of the master, those demons were originally cultivated from beasts, and it is not easy for them to cultivate into human form, if there is no great evil, we will not easily take their lives!"

Li Chongsheng couldn't help but nod his head again and again when he heard this, but the emperor said again:

"Yi'er, did you see Nangong kill that cat demon silently today, did you have no patience in your heart? However, that cat demon killed your sixth brother, she is an unforgivable crime! If such a culprit is not eliminated, won't I have no peace forever in the capital?!"

"Yes, that's what my father said!"

......

At this time, Li Yi naturally didn't want to argue with his father, but in his heart, he had another reason.

After the father and son talked in the hall for a while, Li Yi got up and said goodbye.

At this time, it was already noon, and Li Chongsheng wanted to leave Li Yi to have lunch with him today, but he saw that his son was a little depressed, so he didn't stay.

After Li Yi resigned from his father, he walked out of the Daming Palace and went straight to the Shenwang Pavilion......
