Chapter 3, the enchanted boy

Hearing his father's inquiry, Li Yi nodded, and at that moment, he went through the four murders that occurred in Chang'an City in the past four days, and explained them to the emperor one by one.

According to Li Yi's report, the four murders that occurred in Chang'an City have the following common characteristics:

1. The deceased were all men, and based on the appearance of the deceased bodies, it is inferred that most of them were young and middle-aged men.

2. The deceased had obviously just died, but the death was horrific and the way of death was unique, and at first glance, it seemed to be a dried corpse that had been stored for decades.

3. According to his own preliminary inference, the deceased must have been sucked up by the monster, and the essence and blood dried up and died, and the monster's modus operandi must have been extremely cruel, so that the deceased's face was distorted, and it was obvious that he had experienced great pain before his death.

......

After listening to Li Yi's recital, Li Chongsheng couldn't help but stand up, paced a few steps slowly in front of the imperial case, he stretched his waist, looked a little sleepy, and asked lazily:

"Yi'er, are you really sure that there is really a demon in my big Qianjinggi land?"

Li Yidao: "Father, not only have demons appeared in Chang'an City, but even this demon is an extraordinary demon, his (she) demon power is extraordinary, and he (she) can instantly suck the essence and blood in the human body dry!

Li Chongsheng frowned slightly and said: "At the feet of my great emperor, Lang Lang Qiankun, there are monsters to make trouble...... If this matter spreads, the people will inevitably be in turmoil and the people will be panicked! If the trouble reaches a point where it is out of control, I am afraid that it will not be easy to handle......

Li Yi stood up, walked in front of Li Chongsheng, and said earnestly: "At present, what my father should worry about is not the panic of the people, but the next target of this monster, and I don't know which one it will harm? If the imperial court continues to implement the policy of subduing demons, the sons and daughters are deeply afraid, as time goes by, monsters will run rampant everywhere, the people will suffer misfortunes one after another, and the innocent victims will become more and more day by day, and at that time, it will really reach the point of being out of control!"

Li Chongsheng pondered for a moment and asked, "That'...... In your opinion, how to deal with it?"

Li Yidao: "According to the opinion of the sons, the father must make a decision immediately, first, to inform the people of Chang'an that there are demons in the city, all men are not allowed to go out at night, and those who violate the order will be punished." The two quickly set up a full-time case-handling agency, and Tsing Yi Wei dispatched capable personnel to handle the case, and the rest of the yamen coordinated to deal with it. Third, the father can appoint a person to be fully responsible for handling the case, and the father should give him the right to arbitrarily handle the case, but everything related to the case, no matter which yamen in the court and the central government, must obey his dispatch and must not violate it!"

Li Chongsheng nodded frequently when he heard this, and said with a smile: "What you said is very true, I am all right! But I don't know...... Who do you want your father to designate to be in charge of this case?"

Li Yi immediately sat down on the pestle with a big grin, and said solemnly: "The son of the minister recommends a person, although he is young, but he is different; although his position is not high, but he has a good talent, he has this heavy responsibility, and he will not disappoint his father's expectations!"

Li Chongsheng also returned to his dragon couch and sat down, and asked with a smile:

"Oh...... I want to hear it, I don't know which temple talent it is?"

Li Yidao: "This person is my junior brother, Xu Wuxi!"

"What do you mean...... It turned out to be Xiao Ke! Well, I originally guessed it! I can enter the eyes of your King Zhao, I'm afraid there are not many people in the world......" Li Chongsheng's right hand slowly combed a few locks of long beard under his chin, and after a while, he smiled slightly:

"However, I have a more suitable candidate in mind!"

Li Yi asked: "But I don't know...... Who is the one in my father's heart?"

Li Chongsheng looked at King Zhao in front of him, smiled and said nothing.

Li Yi thought for a moment, and then suddenly said: "Does my father want his son to take on this important responsibility?"

"Yes!" Li Chongsheng said.

However, Li Yi still insisted: "Father and Emperor don't worry, this junior brother of Erchen, he is talented, courageous, ambitious, and with him in command, this case can be solved in the near future! Moreover, Erchen will also help him secretly and help him at all times......

Li Chongsheng shook his head and said disapprenantly:

"Although Xiao Ke is talented, courageous, and ambitious, after all, his qualifications are still shallow, and it is not easy to mobilize people from all walks of life in the capital! Now what we have to deal with is no longer humans, but demons and alien races, if there is no you, the deputy pavilion master of the God King Pavilion, personally in charge, my father really can't rest assured!"

Li Yi didn't want to excuse himself again, and immediately said calmly: "Okay, since my father has to let his sons do things, his sons will take orders!"

Li Chongsheng slowly twisted his beard and smiled slightly: "Hmm...... Tomorrow, I will send a decree ordering you to take charge of this case! The Tsing Yi Guard, the Criminal Department, the Dali Temple, and the Jingzhao Mansion in the capital can all be dispatched by you...... As for your junior brother Xiao Ke, let him be one of your deputies!"

Speaking of Xu Ke, Li Yi suddenly remembered that since he was beaten and his junior brother was successfully released from the Shenwang Pavilion, the emperor has not issued an order to reinstate the junior official, so that the junior brother is still a commoner.

According to the Great Qianzu system, those who have successfully graduated from the Tianzi Gate of the Shenwang Pavilion will be awarded a four-grade official body by the imperial court. Although Xu Ke is not very old and his qualifications are still shallow, he can get the approval of the Lord of the White Old Pavilion, and as a disciple of the Tianzi Sect of the Divine King Pavilion, he should at least restore his official position as a Tsing Yi Wei Wupin. Li Yi didn't know what his father thought in his heart, why he hadn't heard of the imperial court's will to reactivate Xu Ke for six consecutive days.

In the past few days, although the junior brother has come to Zhao Wangfu to see him once, he still seems to have no intention of the temple when he listens to the words of the junior brother, but he is still interested in the retreat of Bibo Island......

At that moment, Li Yi bowed his hand to his father and asked earnestly:

"Father, since he left the Divine King Pavilion, his father has not actually given him an official position, but I don't know what position my father wants to give him this time?"

Li Chongsheng stared at his son and asked, "Yi'er, what do you think?"

"Now that there is a vacancy in the patrol position of Tsing Yi Weili, it is better to let him do an inspection of thousands of households first!" Li Yi said frankly.

Just five days ago, Shen Huan, the governor of Tsing Yi, presented to the emperor in person, because Pei Caibao, a thousand households of the Nan'an Ping Division, was seriously injured and his martial arts were abolished, and he was no longer qualified for the post of a thousand households, so he asked the emperor to allow him to go home to recuperate, and at the same time, Yang Wenyuan, who was recommended to inspect a thousand households, was promoted to the post of a thousand households of the Nan'an Ping Division. The emperor only thought for a moment, and then agreed to Shen Huan's invitation on the spot.

So, Yang Wenyuan, who had just been promoted to inspect thousands of households from the fourth grade because of his meritorious service in reporting the traitor Sun Xun, was once again "promoted by the line of fire" and became the second oldest of the five thousand households in Tsing Yi Wei Nan'an Pingsi Thousand Households.

Naturally, the original position of Tsing Yi Wei inspecting thousands of households has been vacant, according to Shen Huan's meaning, he wanted to recommend a hundred households surnamed Gu under Nangong Buyu, who originally belonged to Bei'an Pingsi, but the emperor did not agree to this invitation.

At this time, the emperor listened to Li Yi's words, but he didn't think about it, and immediately agreed, only listening to Li Chongsheng caress his long beard and said happily:

Tomorrow, I will issue an order to give you this junior brother the title of official, and I will also reward him with my Kunwu sword...... Speaking of which, you little junior brother, what kind of good luck did he go, he was previously favored by the old pavilion master Bai and became the disciple of the old pavilion master's Tianzimen, and now, he doesn't know what means he used, so that my two most capable sons competed to recommend him!"

......

......

Almost at the same time, on a pine forest path in the southern suburbs of Chang'an City, a handsome young student about 18 years old was hurrying home at night. Look at the young man dressed in a coarse cloth short coat, it should be a nearby farmer, maybe he returned from his relatives and delayed the nightstay, and he was still on the road late at night. Maybe it was him who had a secret meeting with a beautiful woman in the middle of the night, and he was rushing home in high spirits...... He walked to a grassy slope, but felt a little tired from walking, so he sat down on the dirt slope and rested.

Suddenly, there was a burst of green smoke in front of him, and a young girl suddenly walked out of the fog, only to see that the woman was slender, up and down, curvy, and extremely charming, the woman's demeanor was very frivolous, and when she saw the young and strong young man sitting on the ground, she was not afraid at all, but waved to him frequently, and spit out extremely enchanting words from her mouth:

"Little brother, come on...... Come here, come into my sister's arms...... Sister misses you...... It's bitter!"

The young young man looked straight at it, and couldn't help but get up and walk towards the charming woman step by step.

"Little brother, come on! Sister can't stand it! Come on...... Have a good time with your sister......" The woman's enchanting voice still echoed in the young man's ears, and the voice seemed to have a kind of magic that made the young man want to stop, step by step, and finally, the young man's body was weak and fell into the woman's arms.

"Little brother, you are so handsome, sister, I like you!" the charming woman twisted the young man's red face, and salivated in her mouth.
