Chapter 21, the heart is uneasy
[The third day of the third month of the third month of the seventy-first year of the Great Qiankang Yuan, Chenshi, Tsing Yi Wei Hall]
In front of everyone, after Li Yi made a final conclusion about the culprit of this strange case in Beijing, he ordered Cheng Wanli to read out his warrant in the court.
According to the arrangement of Zhao Wang Li Yi, he assigned tasks to every department involved in solving the case and catching demons.
Yin Zhong Xingming of Jingzhao Mansion, together with Zhou Beiju of Chang'an Zhixian County, was responsible for strengthening the inspection of the capital and secretly investigating the whereabouts of the cat demon.
Shangshu Cheng Kezhong of the Ministry of Death and Punishment was responsible for sending people to post notices to inform the people of Chang'an that there were monsters in the capital, and all young men were not allowed to go out at night.
Ordered Dali Temple Zhengqing Dai Zhou, responsible for leading people to search the suburbs of Chang'an City, be sure to find every cave and every forest outside the city, no matter which corner, but where it may be a place for monsters to live, they need to be carefully searched.
Cheng Wanli, the general manager of the forbidden army, was responsible for strengthening the security patrol of the capital, and the forbidden army should send more manpower to increase patrols, especially night patrols, and should send effective soldiers and generals to pay special attention. At the same time, the curfew in Chang'an was postponed by one hour until midnight the next day. The forbidden army should strictly check the curfew, and if there is a man who violates the ban on going out without authorization, once it is discovered, he will be severely punished!
After Cheng Wanli read out King Zhao's warrant aloud, he returned to his place and took his seat. Shen Huan, the governor of Tsing Yi, was very surprised when he saw that Li Yiwei did not arrange a task for him, and immediately got up and asked:
"Your Highness, what about my Tsing Yi Wei?"
Li Yidao: "Lord Shen, your Tsing Yi Wei is my father's imperial yamen, is this case...... At present, the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, Jingzhao Mansion, and the Forbidden Army are cooperating to investigate the case, so you don't have to participate in the ...... for the time being."
Shen Huan hurriedly said: "Your Highness, please forgive the officials for daring to say: Tsing Yiwei is the emperor's pro-imperial yamen, but this case is also a case that the emperor is extremely worried about." This case occurred in the capital of our country, and assisting the security of the capital and examining the major cases in the capital is precisely the duty of Tsing Yi Wei. It is within the duty of the lower officials to share the worries of the emperor and serve His Royal Highness! The lower officials implore His Royal Highness to arrange something for the lower officials to do no matter what!" He was puzzled in his heart, you Li Yidu had already held two consecutive case analysis meetings in our Tsing Yi Wei Hall, how could it be that when it was time to assign tasks, I, Shen Huan, had become an outsider?
Seeing that Shen Huan's words were so earnest, Li Yi had to nod and say, "Okay......" He thought for a while, and then said: "Lord Shen led your Tsing Yi Wei's right-hand men to assist General Cheng in patrolling the Chang'an curfew!"
Shen Huan hurriedly bowed down and said, "The subordinate will receive the order!" He said in his heart, although this is an innocuous task, it is better than no task, there is nothing to do.
"But ......" Li Yi said again: "Lord Shen, you have to restrain your subordinates, if you find someone who violates the ban, just reprimand them on the spot, and don't arrest them in your Tsing Yi Wei's prison at will!"
"Your Highness obeys orders, please rest assured, my Tsing Yi Wei will never arrest people indiscriminately!" Shen Huan hurriedly replied.
"Hmm......" Li Yi nodded, looked around the people in front of the hall, and when he saw Nangong sitting at the end of the left side silent, he suddenly said: "Nangong Qianhu!"
"Humble duty!" Nangong stood up immediately when he heard the words, leaned over and saluted. There was excitement in his eyes that could not be concealed.
"During this time, you have taken care of all the affairs of the Bei'an Ping Division, I heard that you have done a good job, and my father has a lot of praise for you......"
Nangong was silent and hurriedly replied humbly: "Humble and shallow, and there are many inappropriate things to do, how can His Highness be so praised!"
"Well......" Li Yi thought for a while and said: "This time there is a strange case in the capital, you Bei'an Pingsi should keep an eye on it, and show me more carefully, both openly and secret......ly!
Nangong was silent and overjoyed: "Your Highness, but there is a sending, Nangong will never give up!"
"Okay, okay, sit down!" Li Yi waved his hand and commanded.
Nangong silently returned to his place and sat down excitedly, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the threatening and cold gaze of the first Shen Huan, and couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart again.
Li Yi looked around at everyone again and said: "My lords, the culprit in this case has been clarified, and the ranks have all received tasks, so everyone should be busy!
Except for Xu Ke, the rest of the people present got up one after another, and after saluting Li Yi, the king of Zhao, they turned around and retreated outside the door.
"That's right!" When everyone was about to walk out of the Tsing Yi Wei Hall, Li Yi suddenly commanded again: "Everyone, my junior brother Xu Ke, on the order of the Son of Heaven, is the deputy envoy for this case. In the future, when this king is not there, you should listen to my junior brother's commands, and see my junior brother as if you were seeing this king!"
Hearing King Zhao's words, everyone was stunned, although everyone did not speak, but they almost had the same meaning in their hearts: this Xu Ke is only twenty years old, and his official position is nothing more than an inspection of thousands of households from the fourth grade, although he was named a "deputy envoy for case investigation" by the emperor, but how can this person's identity be compared with you, the world-famous Zhao Wangye?
Among the people in the hall, especially the surprise and dissatisfaction in the Shangshu Chengke Center of the Criminal Department, he thought to himself that this Xu Ke was just a yellow-mouthed child, bold and reckless, I don't know what benefits he gave you King Zhao, and he actually lifted him up like this?!
"How...... Didn't you hear?" Li Yi's face suddenly sank, and he said coldly. He usually speaks with a pale face like a spring breeze, but at this time, Leng Buding's face changed, and he was immediately frightened that all the high-ranking officials in the hall bowed to Li Yi and Xu Ke and said, "The lower officials know!"
"Go!" Li Yi didn't say much.
Everyone had their own thoughts and withdrew from the council hall one after another.
......
After everyone retreated, Xu Ke hurriedly said: "Senior brother, you are too exalted to me today, right?
"Don't worry about these things!" Li Yi waved his hand, as if he was not interested in discussing these matters at all, and he asked, "Senior brother, do you have a good plan in mind for how to capture that cat demon?"
Xu Ke thought for a moment, and then said: "Senior brother, this cat demon is in the dark, I am in Ming, Chang'an City within a radius of dozens of miles, it is not easy to capture a mortal, not to mention that she is a cunning and wise cat demon......? In my opinion, we might as well come up with a 'trap plan'!"
"Hmm...... How to trap him?" Li Yi asked again.
Xu Ke said: "That cat demon likes to find young and strong men, and specializes in using her 'Harmony Technique' to seize the man Yuanyang." We might as well disguise ourselves as an ordinary man and wander around the city in the middle of the night to lure the cat demon to appear. According to the instructions of the senior brother, the curfew will be strengthened in Chang'an City tonight, and the young men will be confined to their homes......
Li Yi slapped his thigh when he heard this, and said with a smile: "This plan is very clever! Senior brother, I can't see that you are young, but you have some means to solve the case! Your plan of 'seducing demons with your body' has come to mind with me!"
Xu Ke said: "It turns out ...... Senior brother had already thought of this trick. ”
Li Yidao: "Although this plan is feasible, however, I heard that this 'and alloy fairy' Mao Jiaojiao's kung fu is extraordinary, this demon is good at charming, if it is not a person with profound skills, she will be called softly, and her eyes will be hooked, and she will immediately be tricked and unable ......to hold it."
Xu Ke said: "Senior brother, don't worry! Nangong Qianhu and I will act carefully, and when we see that cat demon appear, we will immediately send a warning message, and everyone can work together to capture her!"
Li Yi asked, "Do you want to disguise yourself with Nangong Buyu and attract demons in the middle of the night?"
Xu Ke smiled and said: "Originally, General Cheng was a superior choice, with the general's martial arts, that cat demon was definitely not his opponent." However, General Cheng is a little older, and he may not be able to attract the cat demon, so this 'demon attraction' will be handed over to the foolish brother and Nangong Qianhu!"
Li Yi shook his head and said: "Although Nangong looks young and handsome, his martial arts concentration may not be able to restrain the evil technique of the cat demon, when the time comes, don't lead the demon to success, but put his life on the line!"
Li Yi stroked his smooth chin and said proudly: "I see...... This 'demon seducer' is only barely suitable for you and me. Although the senior brother is older, he is ...... in terms of appearance Brother, I'm still quite confident!"
Xu Ke was about to fight for Nangong silently, but Li Yi didn't allow him to say more, and instead ordered: "Senior brother, you are right! That Mao Jiaojiao is in the dark, I am in the light, if I let her do anything more, I don't know how many innocent men will die in the future." It's ...... Tonight, you and I can disguise ourselves and go out to attract demons!"
Xu Ke responded: "I listen to my senior brother!"
Li Yi stood up, walked up to Xu Ke, patted Xu Ke on the shoulder, and said with a smile:
"Senior brother, your appearance is even more handsome than those women, and Mao Jiaojiao, the 'He Alloy Fairy', is a well-known female pervert! If Senior Brother expects it to be good, she will be the first to find you! When the time comes, Senior Brother...... You need to be careful!"
Seeing Li Yi looking at him with such "ill-intentioned" eyes, Xu Ke couldn't help but smile and said: "Senior brother, don't worry, as soon as I see that cat demon appearing, I will immediately take out the Kunwu long sword in my hand, kill her head and bleed, and desperately beg for mercy!"
Li Yi looked at Xu Ke with "bad intentions" and said with a wicked smile:
"But...... Senior brother can rest assured, even if you are 'broken and combined' by that Mao Jiaojiao, at most it will only lose some essence, and your body will indeed be unharmed!"
Xu Ke suddenly said curiously: "Didn't the former senior brother say that the 'Harmony Immortal' Mao Jiaojiao cultivated magic skills, specialized in absorbing the man's Yuanyang, and was cast by her with the 'Harmony Technique', at least Yuanyang will be damaged, and at worst, the essence will be killed?"
Li Yi laughed and said: "That's for those ordinary mortals, what kind of person is the junior disciple, how can it be compared with those vulgar mortals?
Xu Ke suddenly realized, he said in his heart, no wonder you don't let Nangong be silent and disguise to attract demons, it turns out that as long as you have entered the Divine King Pavilion, you don't have to worry about being fascinated by that cat demon. But...... Xu Ke thought again, although I have been in the Divine King Pavilion for so long, as if I have been there for several lifetimes, but the White Old Pavilion Master has not taught me any Taoism!
I don't want to, Xu Ke thought about it, but Li Yi next to him saw another artistic conception, only to see Li Yi patted Xu Ke's shoulder again, and said with a smile:
"However, having said that, the junior brother must also protect himself, and don't be taken advantage of by the cat demon and easily broken by her...... If the senior brother expected it was not bad, the junior brother would be ...... now It's still a virgin, isn't it?"
When Xu Ke heard this, he suddenly felt embarrassed in his heart, he really didn't know how to answer this question from his senior brother.
It stands to reason that he is still a virgin in this ugly eight-line life wheel. But he is in the God King Pavilion, and he is traveling back in time and space, and he is traveling through the future, and every time he crosses, he has a charming and lingering experience, and the women who have fun with him all night are not one or two. Now, is he still a boy? I'm afraid that even Xu Ke himself can't say this question.
