An Sanniang said that after she left Yamano'a, the demon county of the raccoon tribe, she moved to many places before finally settling down in Demon House, Tokyo.
At that time, the mortal dynasty was first established and its capital was Tokyo. There were not many demons in Tokyo Yaofang. She and her husband from the dog tribe used most of their savings to buy a house and land in Yaofang.
An Sanniang said that her first home was under Qiongmu.
"At that time, the entire Tokyo demon farm was under the emerald trees. It was the place with the most abundant spiritual energy. Everyone settled there. You didn't have to worry too much about the spiritual energy you absorbed every day. You couldn't maintain the demon pills, and you didn't have to take out the demon pills. Refining and replenishing a lot of spirit stones, I can save up the spirit stones earned in the demon workshop, buy nice clothes, go to the mortal world to eat and drink, and take the demons to travel around the mountains and rivers from time to time."
When she talked about this, a relaxed smile appeared on her face, and she looked far away in the direction of the Jade Mouse Cave Palace, as if the days were still a beautiful yesterday.
On the hillside in the distance, the palace with its cornices and painted walls is held up in mid-air by a huge emerald tree.
I don’t know if it carried too much weight, but the tall and straight green emerald trees were slightly bent.
The warmth in An Sanniang's eyes also dissipated.
"But such a good Feng Shui treasure land is just like a piece of fat. As more and more demons come to Tokyo Yaofang, who can't see this ownerless piece of fat? So the rat tribe drives Weasel Jade and takes out the jadeite. All the space under the Qiong trees has been taken up.”
But the Rat Clan has always claimed that Itachi Yu came here by himself.
Since the Weasel Jade was listed as a forbidden drug in the demon world, the Rat Clan has generously regarded it as a clan treasure. If anyone dares to hurt the Weasel Jade, the Rat Clan has a hundred ways to convict the person.
They claimed that Itachi himself ran to the Jade Qiongmu in Tokyo Yafang to settle down. Because he could not control his will, he could only let it go freely. However, this place is the residence of demons. With so many demons coming and going, who knows who will break it. Their baby.
The rat clan was active in the demon court, saying that for the safety of the clan treasure and the safety of the demons, they planned to buy this place from the demons to dedicate it to the weasel jade.
The demons in Tokyo Demon Square were naturally unwilling to give up their home to others, but the Rat Clan wanted to buy and sell it by force. They sued the Demon Court in Jiuzhou City. However, the Demon Lord had not been able to come out for many years, and all the Demon Clan in the Demon Clan were invaded by the Rat Clan. buy.
The Demon Court favored the Rat Clan and asked the demons of the Tokyo Demon Fang to sell the land under the emerald trees to the Rat Clan. They only asked the Rat Clan to make compensation and open up another piece of land on the west side for the Fang people to build a new Demon Fang.
Although the Rat Clan gave them a symbolic amount of spiritual stones and allocated land, they still needed money to build new houses and homes.
More importantly, this place is not as rich in spiritual energy as under the emerald trees. The demons are crowded together, making it very difficult to maintain the demon elixir on a daily basis.
The demons suffered a huge loss this time. They sued the rat clan to the demon court again, but the demon court shut them out on the grounds that the rat clan had already made compensation.
At most, if Dao Weasel leaves one day, the land under the emerald trees will belong to them again.
When Itachiyu leaves, the spiritual energy of this place will be sucked clean. What's the use of a broken land?
But the arms couldn't twist the thighs, so most demons accepted their fate, but there were also those who refused to accept their fate and repeatedly sued and fought for them.
An San's natal family is one of them.
Her family of four was originally peaceful and stable, but unfortunately her husband was seriously injured in the demon world war twenty years ago and passed away within a few years. But during his lifetime, he had planted the extremely difficult Qingfeng Vine under the jade tree.
Qingfeng Vine is a rare elixir in the demon world that can heal flesh and blood in a short time. Only four or five patches of Qingfeng Vine survive in the entire demon world.
The rat clan took over the land under the emerald trees, and also took over the Qingfengvine land where they settled.
An Sanniang complained back and forth many times before the Demon Court allowed this place to be co-located with the Jade Mouse Cave Palace of the Rat Clan for the sake of Qingfeng Veng.
Therefore, the palace minister Shu Lu had to let the An family go in and out of the cave palace every month to collect Qingfeng Vine.
It's just that Qingfeng Fujita disturbed the beautiful layout of the entire Jade Rat Cave Palace, and Shu Lu had long regarded it as gravel in his eyes.
How come An Sanniang doesn't know that he wants to level this land?
She originally thought that she could use this to ask Shu Lu to speak for her captured son and fish him out.
Unexpectedly, the palace minister Shu Lu would not even look at him...
An Sanniang held Jiuji's hand.
"If I can steal the weasel jade, I will do my best. But only Quanzi knows the situation in the palace."
Regarding Quan Lang's matter, Boss Xiong did everything he could. No amount of help could be given. Except for Shu Lu, the palace minister, there was no one An Sanniang knew that he could speak to.
"...Xiao Lang didn't kill anyone. My child didn't kill anyone. Who can save him?"
An Sanniang covered her face and cried. The setting sun stretched her figure lonely and infinitely.
Jiu Ji looked on from the side and sighed softly.
"I may be able to help with this matter."
An Sanniang looked over in surprise, and Jiuji smiled softly.
Who allowed her to assume the identity of the fake wife of the Shaoqing of Dali Temple?
... ...
He sent the injured An Sanniang home. When he arrived at the door, he saw An Sanniang's youngest son Quan Rui.
The boy was about ten years old and had a pair of dog ears. When Jiuji came to the demon house for the first time, she saw a dog demon boy talking about the Jade Mouse Cave Palace, and it was him.
But there was also a slender and delicate girl standing next to him. She was about the age of a mortal, her clothes were washed white, she had two strings of locust flowers in her hair, and a jade plaque with writing on it hung around her waist.
Jiu Ji heard Quan Rui call her "sister", but the girl's face didn't look good. Seeing that An Sanniang seemed to be injured, she hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
Fortunately, An Sanniang's injury was not too serious, and it was getting late.
Jiuji couldn't stay longer, so she said goodbye to the An family and left Yaofang.
She returned to the Zhong family's mansion in Tokyo and completely closed the case. Jiuji could no longer watch as before.
She had to think hard about what she had to do to get Zhong Shaoqing to reveal more to her.
She thought about it and looked in the direction of Dali Temple.
I wonder, when will he come back tonight?
*
Tokyo City, Dali Temple.
The story of the monster caught in Dali Temple somehow spread throughout the government and the public within one day.
Throughout the day today, people kept coming to inquire, including civil and military officials, as well as princes and nobles. Some were concerned about public opinion, while others were simply curious.
Zhong Heqing didn't want to receive them one by one, but now, someone else came.
Master Xun, the minister of Dali Temple, sent someone to call him over.
When Zhong Heqing arrived in the hall, he heard Master Xun talking to him.
"The eldest princess heard that the demon case was solved and came here in person. Wen Ye should tell the princess about the case."
Princess Fengyu is the only living daughter of the late emperor. The emperor's younger sister almost grew up with the empress, and she married a member of the Dongfang family from a wealthy family.
Only then did Zhong Heqing see people sitting behind the screen, but through the screen, he could only see their silhouettes, but Zhong Heqing recognized the two people standing next to the eldest princess.
Both of them met with him.
The person sitting was naturally Dongfang Wei, the only son of Princess Fengyu and the direct grandson of the Dongfang family. Standing behind him was Xue Fan and Xue Sanlang, an aide of the Dongfang family and a good friend of Dongfang Wei.
When everyone saw the ceremony, the eldest princess did not beat around the bush and said that the queen was a little frightened by the monster case.
"...My Majesty didn't sleep well these two nights. She invited me into the palace to talk, and then asked how the trial of the demon case in Dali Temple was going? My Majesty didn't want to rush Dali Temple because of her own affairs, but we As a minister, you have to share the worries of the palace, right?"
She said, "I heard that the evil criminal was caught. I wonder when Dali Temple is going to close the case? I might as well go into the palace and talk to the Queen, so that the Queen can feel at ease."
Princess Fengyu asked directly.
Master Xun paused awkwardly and did not answer in person. He only looked at Zhong Heqing.
Zhong Heqing pursed his lips.
"Back to the eldest princess, the trial of the demon captured by Dali Temple has not yet been completed and cannot be convicted yet, so the case cannot be closed for the time being."
As soon as he said these words, the hall fell silent, and the atmosphere was secretly tense.
Princess Fengyu did not speak behind the screen. She pondered for a long time and slowly picked up the tea bowl.
Dali Temple Qing Xun Yue quickly glanced at Zhong Heqing, but Zhong Heqing remained silent.
On the other hand, Dongfang Wei, who was sitting next to him, chuckled.
"Shaoqing is too modest and cautious. Since Shaoqing has captured the demon, isn't he the murderer?"
After Dongfang Wei said this, Xue Sanlang, who was standing behind him, echoed.
"Exactly, if it weren't for that demon, where else could there be others?"
After the two of them finished talking, Princess Fengyu also finished drinking her tea. She didn't say anything to Zhong Heqing, she only spoke to Xun Yue.
"I always feel that Mr. Xun is now in charge of Dali Temple and handles cases much faster than before. I don't want to have to be so cautious and make people wait."
Princess Fengyu said this with a smile. It seemed like nothing at first, but before Xun Yue took up the post of Dali Temple Minister, the two previous Dali Temple Ministers were both surnamed Zhong, and they happened to be Zhong Heqing's late grandfather and father.
When the eldest princess said this, even Xun Yue didn't know how to answer it.
Zhong Heqing was silent.
Dongfang Wei intervened at this time.
"My mother is anxious. She is always worried that the Queen is getting old. She has not been able to rest well, and this time she cannot sleep. She is worried about it. But Dali Temple always wants to handle the case impeccably, but does not care about these things. "
After he finished speaking, Xue Fan followed suit.
"Dali Temple is really calm."
When the three of them said these words, Xun Yue broke out in sweat.
If you continue talking, wouldn’t it mean that Dali Temple is contemptuous of the royal family?
He quickly said, "Dali Temple is already handling the case urgently, and we must report it to the palace as soon as possible."
He was afraid that Princess Fengyu would ask any more questions, so he added, "As soon as there is any news in the next two days, I will inform the Princess. I also ask Your Highness to comfort the Queen, and don't worry about it."
He said some more polite words and sent the people out of Dali Temple.
When he returned to the hall, he wiped the sweat from the tip of his nose and saw that Zhong Heqing was still standing where he was. He quickly told him that if anyone came to ask again, he would be fooled and not to say anything to them.
But he said, "We have to hurry up and close this case."
Zhong Heqing was silent, just looking at the place in the hall where the visitor had been sitting for a while, and then left the place.
... ...
In the evening, the second watch drum sounds, and the grass and leaves in the courtyard hang their sleepy heads.
But someone hasn't come back yet.
Jiu Ji raised her eyebrows.
