The sun has just risen.
There are more and more pedestrians on the street, and the hawkers’ shouts can be heard one after another.
Luo Qingzhou did not dare to be careless and passed through the wall along the house.
This is the inner city.
There are only a few days left until the Chinese New Year.
At this time in the sky, there must be the spirits of Taoist priests from Zijin Temple patrolling, and there may be magical instruments deployed in many places.
So he had to be extra careful.
If he had not just heard the inner voice of the man with the knife, he would not have risked his soul leaving his body.
There seemed to be something strange hidden in that family's home.
In the past, he would definitely not care about such trivial matters, but now, since he wanted to do that, he had to try his best to find out all the abnormal situations in the inner city and eliminate any unexpected situations.
The soul carefully passed through the wall and soon arrived at the alley.
He first hid in the wall and observed the air for a while, then looked around, and then quietly entered the house he had just entered.
At this time, in the courtyard, the woman in red and green was still with her hands on her hips, cursing.
There was a lot of noise from other people talking.
Luo Qingzhou didn't dare to get close. His soul merged into the wall and he looked over.
In addition to the woman and the man holding the knife, there were three other burly men in the yard.
One of the men had a thick black cloth wrapped around his head, his eyes were dark green, and he was about two meters tall. He said impatiently, "What are you afraid of? If anything goes wrong, the Thai prince will take the responsibility. We still need seven more. Go to those mansions tonight and capture them quickly. If anyone dares to stop us, I'll punch them one by one."
After saying that, he slammed his fist on the stone table next to him.
The hard stone table suddenly broke into pieces.
"Demon tribe?"
Luo Qingzhou hid in the wall and immediately felt the fluctuation of demonic power clearly.
Just as he was about to continue listening, an old voice suddenly came from his ear: "Which Taoist friend is visiting? Why don't you come out and see me?"
Then, a terrifying momentum suddenly crushed towards him!
Luo Qingzhou had almost no hesitation. With a "whoosh", he instantly passed through the wall and flew into the air.
"boom!"
A loud bang!
The next second, the wall where he had just hidden turned into powder!
A figure appeared at the corner, suddenly raised his head, and punched into the air again. A black fist light instantly covered half of the sky above the courtyard!
Fortunately, Luo Qingzhou's soul is now extremely powerful and his reaction is extremely quick. The moment he flew into the air, he flashed away at the fastest speed and flew away from the courtyard.
"boom!"
The fist light suddenly exploded in mid-air.
The faces of the other people in the courtyard changed and they hurriedly took out their weapons.
"We've been discovered! Go!"
At this time, the old voice suddenly said.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the gate in front suddenly shattered with a "bang".
Then, a man in a Qilin costume rushed in with a group of Jinyiwei with murderous intent, and immediately surrounded the few people in the courtyard.
At the same time, the gate of the house opposite suddenly opened.
Qin Wen Zheng and a middle-aged man walked out of the door and hurried over.
Luo Qingzhou took a look from afar and saw a figure flashing in the air not far away. It was obvious that a soul had heard the noise and rushed over.
He didn't dare to stay, so he immediately landed, passed through the wall, and quickly returned to the bookstore, regaining his consciousness.
He took out the message and sent a message to the princess: My mother-in-law and I are at Moxue Bookstore.
The message came back quickly: Bitch, who told you to go there? Is Xue Yi there
Luo Qingzhou: No, there is only a little maid.
Xiao Meijiao: Humph, we are already on the way, you are not allowed to tease the little maid
Luo Qingzhou ignored her, put away the message and went into the house.
As soon as I entered the room, I suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"Aunt, your eyes are red, obviously you've been crying. Tell me who bullied you, and I'll help you."
Luo Qingzhou looked up and saw Nangong Xueyi, wearing a plain white dress and holding a thick book in her arms. She was standing next to his mother-in-law and asking questions with concern.
When he entered the room, Nangong Xueyi immediately looked at him and said with a happy face, "Mr. Luo, what a rare guest. I didn't expect you to come today. Do you want to buy any books? Our bookstore has some new books in the past few days. They may contain the test questions for next year's spring exam. I'll take you to have a look."
Luo Qingzhou thanked him and said, "No need. I have a lot of books at home. I was just passing by today, so I came in to sit down. Princess Xueyi, you go about your business and don't worry about me."
Nangong Xueyi immediately walked up to him and said, "That won't do. Since Master Luo is here, I must accompany him. By the way, has Master Luo written any new novels recently? Tell me about it. I haven't read any interesting novels in a long time. I have read The Story of the Stone over and over again at home. Except for the unsatisfactory ending, the characters in it are really wonderful. The more I read, the more I like it. After reading it, I can no longer read other books."
Luo Qingzhou said: "I have been busy studying recently and preparing for next year's exams, so I haven't written any novels."
Nangong Xueyi was a little disappointed: "Oh, what a pity. By the way, Mr. Luo, I wrote a story recently. Would you like to take a look? And give me some advice."
At this time, Song Ruyue, who was left aside, suddenly said, "Qingzhou, come here, don't stick to Xueyi so tightly, you are almost sticking to her body."
In fact, Luo Qingzhou stood there without moving. It was Nangong Xueyi who approached him while talking.
Hearing this, Luo Qingzhou quickly stepped aside and said, "Princess Xueyi, I have to go back to study and will leave soon."
Nangong Xueyi followed behind him and begged, "Mr. Luo, it's not easy for you to come to the inner city today, just take a day off. Can you talk to me in the bookstore and chat?"
Song Ruyue looked at her warily and said, "Xueyi, Qingzhou still has to go back to study. Let Weimo come and chat with you then."
Nangong Xueyi looked at her red eyes, then she remembered her story and said, "Aunt, what's wrong with you?"
Then he looked at Luo Qingzhou and said, "Mr. Luo, I just heard from Qing'er that there are bad guys chasing you?"
Just as Luo Qingzhou was about to make up a few words, a cold shout suddenly came from the door: "Xue Yi! Stay away from him, don't get so close!"
As soon as the words fell, Nangong Meijiao walked in quickly with a cold face.
Nangong Xueyi immediately said with a bitter face: "Why are you here? You are not welcome here. You are a warrior, don't come to someone else's bookstore."
Nangong Meijiao ignored her, walked to Luo Qingzhou and glared at him fiercely.
At this time, Qiu'er and Zhu'er walked in from the door, supporting Miss Qin Er.
Nangong Xueyi hurriedly went to meet him.
Song Ruyue saw her daughter was here too. Just when she was about to cry, she held back and quickly stood up and said, "Qingzhou, let's go and take Weimo to see him."
Luo Qingzhou nodded and followed behind her. He exchanged a glance with Miss Qin Er, walked to her side, supported her, and whispered, "Did the princess tell you everything?"
Miss Qin nodded slightly, and then said softly to Nangong Xueyi: "Sister Xueyi, we still have things to do, come over later."
Nangong Xueyi immediately said, "What's the matter? I'll go with you!"
Having said that, he was about to go out.
Unexpectedly, Nangong Meijiao grabbed her from behind, forcibly pulled her inside, pressed her down on a chair, and said coldly, "You stay here and watch over the store. Don't run around. Be careful not to be kidnapped by bad guys."
Nangong Xueyi struggled to get up, but was pushed down by her again.
Luo Qingzhou glanced at the two sisters and helped Miss Qin out of the shop first.
Song Ruyue walked in front. As soon as she came out of the shop, her eyes turned red and she cried, "Wei Mo, mother saw your father sneaking off to meet that vixen. Qing Zhou also saw it."
Luo Qingzhou quickly said: "I didn't see it."
Miss Qin Er comforted her softly, "Mom, don't cry first, let's go and see him first. But Wei Mo thinks that Daddy must have other things to do, so we'd better not disturb him and just wait outside."
Song Ruyue wiped her tears and said, "It's just fooling around with that vixen, what could possibly happen?"
Luo Qingzhou said nothing and looked ahead.
At this time, Nangong Meijiao also caught up from behind, suddenly pinched him on the lower back, gritted her teeth and whispered: "Didn't you say that Xueyi is not in the store?"
Luo Qingzhou said innocently, "I was in the toilet at the time, and I didn't know she was here. If you don't believe me, ask my mother-in-law. When I went with her, Princess Xueyi was definitely not there."
Nangong Meijiao snorted coldly, glanced ahead, and whispered, "Is my uncle really keeping a mistress outside?"
Luo Qingzhou shook his head.
The group quickly crossed the street and came to the alley.
At this time, there were already a lot of people gathered at the entrance of the alley, all craning their necks to look inside and talking about something.
When Song Ruyue saw this scene, she was confused and walked over quickly.
At this time, Qin Lang, dressed in a Qilin costume, came out of the alley with a group of Jinyiwei and several big men covered in blood.
Qin Lang's shoulders were already covered in blood.
The family's courtyard wall and house were all turned into ruins.
"The Royal Guards are arresting people!"
The onlookers were whispering.
Song Ruyue stood behind the crowd, watching this scene, her face suddenly changed. When she was about to shout, Miss Qin II quickly grabbed her hand and whispered, "Mother, don't make a sound."
The Jinyiwei had a bad reputation both in the court and among the people, and they had many enemies, so they could never reveal their identities casually.
Besides, my brother is on official business now and cannot be disturbed.
Song Ruyue didn't dare to shout anymore. She looked at her son with distressed and worried eyes, completely forgetting that she was there to catch someone committing adultery.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Miss Qin Er suddenly pointed behind the Jinyiwei and said, "Mother, look."
Song Ruyue looked in the direction of her finger and was immediately startled, her eyes widened.
Qin Wen Zheng followed the Jinyiwei out of the alley without saying a word to his eldest son. He lowered his head, walked through the crowd and prepared to leave silently.
Several people hurriedly followed.
Luo Qingzhou turned around and looked at that family.
The powerful old man just now should have run away, and I don’t know whether the woman is dead or ran away.
The people of the demon clan are actually colluding with the King of Thailand
According to Hua Gu, after the princess went to the border to command the troops, the emperor immediately sent King Thailand to station troops nearby, as if waiting for something, so the princess did not fight with the demon clan.
Now it seems very strange indeed.
It would be ridiculous if the emperor really colluded with the demon clan in order to get rid of the princess and her army.
Of course, given the twisted personality of that boy who had been suppressed by the eldest princess's brilliance since childhood, this kind of thing is not impossible.
While thinking, Luo Qingzhou supported the second young lady and followed behind his mother-in-law.
After entering an alley, Qin Wen Zheng, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, turned around, frowned, and looked at them sternly.
At this time, no matter how stupid Song Ruyue was, she knew that she might have wronged her master.
She stopped and lowered her head, like a child who had done something wrong, shrinking back and not daring to move forward.
Luo Qingzhou had no choice but to support Miss Qin Er and walk over.
When Qin Wenzheng saw the two of them, the stern look on his face softened and he snorted, "Why, did your mother bring you here to catch an adulterer?"
Everyone: “…”
Nangong Meijiao stopped behind Song Ruyue and was too embarrassed to go over.
Song Ruyue's head was almost buried in her chest in shame.
Miss Qin Er was also a little embarrassed, and said softly: "Dad, there are some things that you still have to tell us in advance, otherwise we will worry."
Qin Wen Zheng had a cold face and said nothing.
Luo Qingzhou had no choice but to ask, "Father-in-law, are you helping my brother investigate the case?"
Qin Wenzheng glanced at him and then spoke: "Recently, many children and women have disappeared in Kyoto, even the daughter of Ning Hou's family is missing. Ning Hou found your eldest brother and asked him to help investigate. Your eldest brother has been busy investigating Luo Changtian's case recently, so I took the initiative to help."
At this point, he sighed again and said, "Your eldest brother said that the murderer of Luo Changtian's case has not been found yet. The emperor is very angry and ordered him to find the murderer within a month, otherwise... Regarding this missing case, your eldest brother got some clues a few days ago. It happened that there were several brothel girls living opposite the alley, and two suspects had been there. So I went in under the guise of selling underwear to investigate the situation... I originally wanted to find a maid to go in, but I was afraid that something might happen, so I went in alone..."
Luo Qingzhou asked: "There should be more than just those suspects, right?"
Qin Wenzheng said seriously, "There must be more than just those few. It should be an organization, and there must be some background behind it, otherwise they wouldn't be so bold as to traffic in human beings in Kyoto. Your eldest brother will find out."
Luo Qingzhou hesitated for a moment and said, "Father-in-law, I think we should persuade my eldest brother to investigate Luo Changtian's case. This missing person case may be a bit complicated, so let's hand it over to the government."
Qin Wenzheng pondered for a moment and said, "It is indeed a bit complicated. In fact, your eldest brother got the clues a long time ago, but unfortunately, others knew about it several times in advance. Your eldest brother thinks there may be a spy in the Jinyiwei. The person who can plant a spy in the Jinyiwei is definitely not simple."
Song Ruyue came over quickly and said weakly, "Master, quickly tell Lang'er to stop investigating this case."
Qin Wen Zheng's face darkened and he glared at her.
Song Ruyue shuddered suddenly, pouted her lips, lowered her head, feeling ashamed and aggrieved, and dared not say another word.
Qin Wenzheng ignored her and said, "Qingzhou, Weimo, you go back first. I still need to go see Lang'er. He was injured when he was arresting someone. There is a master there who just escaped. You must be careful on the road."
The two nodded.
Qin Wen Zheng said nothing more and left quickly.
Song Ruyue then raised her head and looked at his back with an aggrieved expression on her face.
Miss Qin Er asked, "Mother, are you going home?"
Song Ruyue frowned and said, "I'd better go to the store and wait for your father. I don't know how Lang'er is doing."
Miss Qin Er comforted him, "Brother is a warrior, it's okay."
The group turned and walked out of the alley.
Miss Qin asked Zhu'er and Mei'er to accompany her to the clothing store, and then they prepared to return to the bookstore.
Nangong Meijiao quickly stopped him and said, "Wei Mo, don't go to the bookstore. Xue Yi is very annoying. You should go back. Luo Qingzhou still has to go back to study."
Miss Qin Er smiled and said, "But I just promised Sister Xue Yi."
Nangong Meijiao said: "It's okay, I'll go talk to her later."
Miss Qin Er asked, "Sister Meijiao isn't going back with us?"
Nangong Meijiao glanced at someone and said, "I have to go home again. I haven't seen my mother for a few days. I'm afraid they will worry."
Miss Qin nodded slightly.
Several people separated at the intersection.
Luo Qingzhou, Miss Qin Er, and Qiu'er hired a carriage to go back.
As the carriage was about to start moving, Miss Qin II parted the curtains, looked outside and said, "Sister Meijiao, are you still going tonight?"
A hint of hesitation appeared on Nangong Meijiao's face.
Miss Qin Er smiled and said, "Sister Meijiao, it's cold sleeping alone at night. Go and sleep with Wei Mo, and let a certain bad guy sleep on the couch."
Nangong Meijiao immediately said: "Okay, I'll be there later."
Miss Qin smiled, then lowered the curtain and looked at the bad guy beside her.
Luo Qingzhou asked knowingly, "Who is the Second Miss going to let sleep on the couch?"
Miss Qin snorted slightly, "Whoever is a bad guy will be allowed to sleep."
Luo Qingzhou said: "Oh, so the second young lady wants to sleep on the couch. Well, it's not a good idea to let your husband sleep on the bed with Princess Meijiao, right?"
"Humph, you are the bad guy."
"Why am I a bad guy?"
"You know it well in your heart. When you went back last night, there were teeth marks on your neck and a woman's scent on your body. Humph."
"… "
Qiu'er sat opposite, turned her head to look outside, pretending to hear nothing.
"Wei Mo, please listen to my explanation."
"I won't listen to your excuses."
"Actually, I was going to confess to you when I got home today..."
"snort."
Luo Qingzhou held her in his arms and suddenly changed the subject: "By the way, Weimo, did you see it just now? There are also teeth marks on my father-in-law's neck."
Miss Qin Er: "..."
Luo Qingzhou guessed: "My father-in-law might have turned his fake play into reality. After all, there are women from brothels in there, and my father-in-law is selling underwear. Those women have no taboos. Maybe they changed into underwear right in front of my father-in-law, and then..."
"Humph, I'm going to tell Daddy that you were saying bad things about him behind his back."
"Can't I just tell the truth?"
"Then why don't you talk about yourself? Even if Daddy does something stupid outside, he can't compare to you."
"Wei Mo..."
"I don't want to bother with you."
"My wife..."
"snort… "
"My dear wife..."
"Hmm... Hmm..."
Luo Qingzhou suddenly blocked her little mouth.
The girl in his arms struggled for a few times, but soon her body went limp and stopped moving, allowing him to pick her...
Qiu'er still turned her face away, looking outside, her little face serious, sitting upright, not moving a muscle.
The carriage quickly turned into Maple Leaf Alley.
Miss Qin blushed and said, "Brother Qingzhou, we will go to Lingchan Moon Palace later. I want you to tell Xia Chan and my sister about your affair this time."
Luo Qingzhou paused: "Why do we have to go there to say it?"
Miss Qin Er snorted, "What do you think? Of course it's because of Chanchan. I can't bear to punish you, so I want my sister to make the decision for Chanchan and punish you, humph."
Luo Qingzhou begged hurriedly: "Second Miss, family disgrace should not be made public. Don't let the eldest miss know. It's very embarrassing..."
"We are all family, what are we afraid of? Brother Qingzhou, if you don't go, I will tell Daddy and Mommy, and also Meijiao, and let everyone criticize you together, humph."
"… "
"Are you going?"
"Good sister, can you not go?"
"Good brother, no!"
"Why… "
"Good brother, if you go, Xiao Weimo will be with Xiao Meijiao tonight..."
"oh… "
"Um."
The carriage stopped in front of the Qin Mansion.
Luo Qingzhou went down first, then carried the weak and powerless Miss Qin down. When he was about to pick up Qiu'er, Qiu'er smiled and jumped down lightly, with her chest bouncing a few times.
"Brother Qingzhou, have you figured out how to write it?"
"Why would you make it up? I'm just telling the truth. I, Luo Qingzhou, never lie!"
"oh… "
