Song Tan didn't say a word, and these words didn't make any waves on his face.
He has been walking around the world, subduing demons for longer than Jiang Yisheng has lived in this world. He has seen more human relationships, and the sinister world, than Jiang Yisheng has ever heard of.
Goodwill may have been thrown away in an unknown corner.
The clam demon in front of him may have been exploited and persecuted, but did Xue Xi and the others really have no problems at all?
After Jiang Yisheng finished speaking, he suddenly realized that he was disrespectful to his uncle. He quickly stopped talking, but did not apologize.
He felt he was right.
It's just that this uncle is too free and loose. In terms of image and style, how can he have the style of a demon-killing Taoist who cares about the world and is highly respected?
Jiang Yisheng glanced at several people, and finally turned to Yao Yao and said:
"Yaoyao, let's take this demon back first."
Yao Yao hesitated, "Brother Jiang, what are you going to do with this monster?"
Jiang Yisheng did have a headache when he thought about Concubine Xiang's previous actions.
"Let's take it back first and then talk about it. This monster is indeed pitiful and was taken advantage of by the Xue family... No wonder Concubine Xian wants to drive us away. I'm afraid she is afraid that we will discover their secret!"
Hearing this, Yao Yao subconsciously looked at Song Tan.
Song Tan glanced at Jiang Yisheng and frowned unconsciously:
"Is this what you saw?"
Song Tan met Jiang Yisheng's shocked gaze and said without mercy:
"Are you really the disciple taught by the master? Tsk, the master must be lazy, right?"
Jiang Yisheng's face turned red, and the indignation he felt just now was instantly shattered.
After Song Tan finished speaking, he looked at Mo Qin again, much like a strict teacher who asked students to answer questions in class.
"You think so too?"
Mo Qin: "?"
Mo Qin organized his words, "Just like this, it can't explain the shops with problems."
Qian investigated those stores and although he didn't find any physical evidence, he at least caught a half-demon.
The demon is imprisoned in the yard, but the half-demon works as the shopkeeper in the shop?
This seems strange no matter how you look at it.
Jiang Yisheng: "What does it have to do with those stores?"
Song Tan just threw out the map and asked them to check it out, but the owners behind those shops were not the same person.
He did not associate this matter with Xue Xi.
Song Tan pursed her lips into a straight line, looked at Jiang Yisheng as if he were a fool, then shook her head and left.
It seems that this child is hopeless.
Jiang Yisheng's sunny and gentle face was not only suitable for being tinged with a hint of darkness.
He and Yao Yao walked back with the clam demon.
On the way back, Jiang Yisheng lowered his head and whispered:
"Am I really that bad?"
Yao Yao immediately retorted, "Of course not! Brother Jiang, you are the most benevolent and righteous demon slayer I have ever seen!"
As long as other demon slayers see demons, even if they don't kill them all, few will lend a helping hand to them.
Jiang Yisheng was in the minority, otherwise she wouldn't have thought of attacking him.
These words gave Jiang Yisheng some comfort. He smiled, raised his head and patted Yaoyao's head lovingly, "Thank you, Yaoyao."
Yao Yao comforted Jiang Yisheng and then stopped smiling, feeling worried.
It seems that Song Tan and the others were not deceived. No, it should be said that only Jiang Yisheng was deceived.
You have to find an opportunity to pass this news on.
-
Everyone else had left, only Mo Qin and Feng Jun were still there.
Feng Jun glanced at the direction Song Tan left, thoughtfully.
Mo Qin asked: "What? Do you have an idea?"
Feng Jun: "What do you mean by idea?"
"Aren't you looking for the guy who harmed you?"
Feng Jun spread his hands, "Your uncle has captured all the prisoners I captured. Of course I want to wait for good news from you."
Feng Jun looked at the street in the distance and saw scattered pedestrians there, and suggested:
"While it's still early, why not take a stroll?"
On the other side, Song Tan found Zhusheng who was sent out by him to do something. Zhusheng was wearing a blue gown and a pure white mask on his face. He jumped in front of Song Tan and stretched out a fisted hand.
A blue bead fell into Song Tan's palm.
Beads made of human vitality.
A smile escaped from the corner of Song Tan's mouth, holding her beads and looking at the sun.
"It's really hidden deep enough."
-
At court the next day.
Xue Xi was wearing a straight official uniform and stood out among the middle-aged old men.
Xue Xi stood at the front again, and the emperor could see it at a glance. Thinking of Concubine Xiang who was angry because he didn't drive away the demon slayer, the emperor couldn't help but sigh.
The official who was reporting below couldn't help shaking his body, looked up at the emperor, and quickly did not dare to say anything more.
As soon as the man retreated, another person came out.
"Your Majesty, there have been rumors in the city recently that there is a demon in the palace! The people are panicked. I beg your Majesty to drive the demon exterminator out of the palace!"
As soon as this was said, someone immediately reconsidered it.
"The emperor's feet are protected by the true dragon's energy. How can there be monsters causing trouble?"
"His Majesty……"
The emperor also thought that after Concubine Xiang's anger subsided, he would ask the Taoist priests invited from the Jingming Sect to remove bad luck from the palace.
After all, he actually saw the undead that day.
Thinking about how many people died in the palace, if their souls stayed in the palace... the emperor felt a chill running down his spine.
"this matter……"
Xue Xi took a step forward and interrupted the emperor's unspoken words.
"Your Majesty, I second the proposal!"
"Prime Minister, you..."
The emperor couldn't believe it.
Xue Xi had always understood his heart best and was a courtier with outstanding talents and learning. He didn't expect that he would now oppose him.
Faced with the pressure from the ministers, the emperor finally had no choice but to expel several demon exterminators from the palace.
There is no problem if they are not allowed to live in the palace, but placed in an inn in the city.
When the eunuch went to the courtyard to convey his will, he found that no one was in the courtyard.
The eunuch had no choice but to send a young eunuch to report, while he continued to wait here.
The few people who are not in the small courtyard are currently divided into three groups in the city to investigate matters about the problematic shops.
Last time I went there openly, but this time I went there secretly.
Unexpectedly, they actually found it, and the progress was not small.
Several stores that had been investigated before had found something, evidence that those stores had stolen the lives of customers.
The pharmacy secretly tampered with certain commonly used medicines, and the rouge and gouache were mixed with something...
Jiang Yisheng was shocked and happy.
"Yao Yao, you are so amazing!" Jiang Yisheng excitedly hugged Yao Yao into his arms, "You are my little lucky star!"
Yao Yao naturally hugged Jiang Yisheng back. She put her ear against Jiang Yisheng's heart and heard his accelerated heartbeat.
A pang of guilt arose in my heart.
Brother Jiang, I'm sorry, I have no choice.
The other two groups should be able to find clues successfully...
Of course the other two groups found it and became suspicious of the clues they got.
