"Miss Chen, what are you doing?"
Jiang Mu thought she didn't recognize him and continued to pretend to ask.
As a result, Chen Mengning rolled her eyes and said, "It's just that Dalang doesn't want to see me. Do you still want to pretend that you don't know me?"
"What do you mean by this girl?" Jiang Mu scratched his head and wanted to make a final struggle.
Chen Mengning suddenly showed a disappointed look, and pointed at the jade pendant on his waist, "It seems that from beginning to end, Da Lang has never looked at me, but I keep the details of Da Lang in my heart... .”
Being able to identify Jiang Mu with just a piece of jade pendant is indeed a detail...
"In this case, Meng Ning will not disturb Dalang again from now on, so I will resign."
After that, he looked sad, stopped looking at someone, and turned to leave.
Jiang Mu couldn't stand her extremely sad expression, so he quickly stopped her and said, "Meng, Meng Ning..."
"What else do you want?" Chen Mengning asked.
"that..."
He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. How could he not know Chen Mengning's thoughts? It's just that he really doesn't have that intention for this girl. On Chen Shilang's birthday, he said that he was still ill, just so that he could see her less and be less embarrassed...
Chen Mengning sighed and left again.
Seeing that Jiang Mu didn't intend to keep anyone else, Yu Xuanji tsked and said quickly: "Miss Chen, please stay. Mr. Jiang didn't mean to do this. The reason why he didn't admit it was actually for the sake of the girl. Don't misunderstand Mr. Jiang." Hard work..."
"Mr. Jiang?"
Jiang Mu didn't know what kind of monster Yu Xuanji wanted to be, but when he saw that he was about to betray the gang, he quickly took over the words and stopped Yu Xuanji from saying anything else.
"That's right, the Jiaofang Division has not been peaceful recently. You should know about this, right? I am here to investigate this matter."
Chen Mengning was stunned when she heard this. She also knew about the Jiaofang Division, but shouldn't it be under the control of the Demon Suppression Division?
"This is..." She looked at Yu Xuanji with some confusion.
"The Immortal Master of the Demon Suppression Master, you can call her Fish Immortal Master, Fish Taoist Master."
Then he said: "Meng Ning, my identity... you should know what's going on here, so I won't explain more. I just hope you can keep it a secret for me..."
As a prince, he actually came to investigate these ghosts and gods with the immortal master of the Demon Suppression Department. If word spread, it would definitely get people talking. Chen Mengning was a little surprised. At first, she thought Yu Xuanji was a certain emperor, but she didn't expect it to be the Zhen. The Immortal Master of the Demon Division. His expression softened and he nodded: "Don't worry, Dalang. Even if I die, I won't reveal anything about what happened today!"
Then he bowed to Yu Xuanji and said, "Young lady Chen Mengning has met Master Yu Xuanji."
Yu Xuanji nodded slightly and bowed in return.
"It's not a matter of life and death, just don't say it." Jiang Mu smiled. He still believed in Chen Mengning's character, but the maid next to him...
As if aware of Jiang Mu's gaze, the little maid quickly covered her mouth with her hands, "I, I didn't hear anything."
Okay, I didn’t hear you cover your ears, why are you covering your mouth...
Chen Mengning was very curious as to why Jiang Mu got together with the Demon Suppression Division. Did he want to become an immortal? If this is the case, should I follow suit?
While she was thinking wildly, she heard Jiang Mu say to her: "Meng Ning, it's getting late. Why don't you go back quickly? Later, Mr. Chen should worry."
Chen Mengning glanced outside. Indeed, the night was getting darker, and her father was probably worried by now.
He couldn't help but stand up and said with some reluctance: "Well, I'll go back first. Dalang, you should also be careful."
Jiang Mu nodded and then sent him out of the box. When he arrived at the door, Chen Mengning suddenly said: "By the way, Dalang should know about the affairs of Su Yutan's family, right?"
Jiang Mu was familiar with Fang La's attack on Jiangzhou. Among them, Su Yutan's father Su Yingcan was obviously captured after the city was broken, but he was said to have surrendered to the enemy. He knew it, frowned and said: "I am also deeply affected by what happened to Miss Su. Sympathy, but this matter cannot be overturned casually..."
"Is there nothing we can do?" Chen Mengning asked.
Jiang Mu shook his head, "Unless we can rescue Magistrate Su back to the capital and confront those who slandered him in court, we will die without any evidence!"
Chen Mengning looked anxious when she heard this. In that case, Tan'er would have to stay here for the rest of her life...
Jiang Mu knew that Chen Mengning had a good relationship with Su Yutan. Seeing her expression, he quickly comforted her and said, "Don't worry, there just aren't enough servants in my house. When this matter is over, I will report it to my father. On the grounds of filling up the house, I will first Bring Su Yutan to my house and make plans later."
"Yes! You are the emperor..."
"Shh! It's fine if you know, you don't have to say it."
Seeing that she was about to speak without restraint, Jiang Mu was startled and quickly reached out to cover her mouth.
Chen Mengning made a "wuwu" sound, and her big eyes suddenly became watery, indicating that she knew she was wrong, and Jiang Mu let go.
His hands were a little sticky, so he wiped them on his body instinctively. Seeing this, Chen Mengning's pretty face turned red, and she quickly took out the handkerchief, took his hand, and wiped it for him.
Jiang Mu was a little embarrassed, so he changed the subject and said, "There have been many incidents of demons and ghosts recently. You must be careful. I have a lighted exorcism talisman here. Take it."
Yu Xuanji had a lot of ready-made talismans, and he took a lot of them. If it were anyone else, he wouldn't be able to get them even if he asked for them.
Naturally, Chen Mengning would not refuse. She took the talisman and felt a sweetness in her heart. After folding it carefully, she hid it in her sleeve and said, "Thank you, Da Lang."
"Well, come back soon..."
After Chen Mengning left, Jiang Mu returned to the private room. Yu Xuanji was sitting on a chair, watching the singer's performance through the window. When he saw him coming back, he chose to ignore it. Jiang Mu didn't say anything in particular, so he came and sat down next to her.
After a while, the Zheng brothers and sisters walked in from outside.
There are two floors of Jiaofangsi, as well as the utility yard in the backyard. Just now, the Zheng family brothers and sisters moved separately. Zheng Yun pretended to be a guest and went to the second floor, while Zheng Qingyun ran to the utility yard in the back.
Both of them made discoveries. Zheng Yun said first: "Boss, I just asked a few girls separately, and they said that the four dead girls were all Yin people who were born in the Yin time and the lunar calendar. What a coincidence. I I suspect that the murderer only targets women with bad fates..."
Seeing that Zheng Yun looked a little tired, Jiang Mu really wanted to ask you how you asked those girls, but it was obviously inappropriate to ask these questions at this time, so he said: "Is there anything wrong with being born on the lunar calendar during the yin time?"
"The female is yin and the male is yang, and she was born in the lunar calendar during the yin time, which means she has at least three yin bodies. Generally, this kind of situation is most popular with evil cultivators and ghosts..." Yu Xuanji explained, his face became serious.
Evil cultivators refer to those practitioners who practice cultivation through destructive means. For example, in the fourth year of Zheng He, the evil Taoist Master Tianxu cast spells to kill the people of a town for his own cultivation, and then fled to Xixia. He has not surrendered to the law to this day.
Jiang Mu frowned. If the murderer was an evil cultivator, it would be a bit tricky...
Because demons and ghosts are causing trouble, you can use magic weapons, spells, formations, and other methods to deal with them. The evil cultivator can only use force. If he wants to hide, he still has to search for it, which is no less difficult than the last time when people from the Imperial City Division searched for the assassin throughout the city.
"Qingyun, where are you?" Yu Xuanji asked Zheng Qingyun.
Zheng Qingyun glanced at Jiang Mu and said in a weak tone: "Well, I heard that all good women who come here will be locked up in the backyard and tortured. I suspect that the four women were actually tortured to death. Go investigate..."
After hearing this, Zheng Yun's face immediately darkened, and he interrupted: "Why go to investigate? I think you want to make a fool of yourself!"
He knew his sister's character very well. She must have a chivalrous heart and rushed to save people. Fortunately, he went there in time and pulled her back, otherwise he didn't know what trouble would happen again.
"What nonsense? It's obviously an investigation!"
"Okay, tell me, what did you find out in your investigation?"
Zheng Qingyun was a little hesitant when asked, "I investigated and found out that there is a person locked up in the woodshed..."
"Then you planned to rescue him, but at the critical moment, I came and disturbed you, right?"
Zheng Qingyun's face turned red when he was told what he was thinking. Seeing that the brother and sister might quarrel, Jiang Mu immediately came out to smooth things over: "Okay, okay, brother Zheng, don't be angry. My sister-in-law also has a chivalrous heart. Besides, this doesn't make sense. What's the trouble..."
Then he looked at Zheng Qingyun and said, "Qingyun, you said there is a person locked up in the woodshed. Who is he?"
Zheng Qingyun had a look of sympathy on his face when he heard this, "It's a woman, in a small dark room next to the firewood shed. When I went there, she was being beaten and scolded by a female officer with a whip. What are you talking about? You are still alive for this shitty life." It’s valuable enough to allow Miss Chen San to spend 500 taels of silver so that we can take good care of you..."
"I saw how pitifully she was beaten, and I just wanted to rescue her, but my brother came and pulled me away..." As he said this, he glared at Zheng Yun with dissatisfaction.
Miss Chen San?
"Is the woman who was beaten named Su Yutan?" Jiang Mu asked anxiously.
Zheng Qingyun thought for a while, "I don't know what the name is, but it seems that the female steward who beat people did call her Su Xiaobian..."
Jiang Mu's face immediately darkened and he looked at Yu Xuanji: "Xuanji, I have some personal matters to deal with. You guys should be busy first." After that, he walked towards the door.
Although he was not very close to Su Yutan, he could not see such a good girl being treated like this.
"Stop, what are you going to do?" Yu Xuanji asked with a frown.
Jiang Mu thought for a while, then suddenly turned around and grabbed her arm, "Let's go, come with me..."
Su Yutan was born in Pu County, Jiangzhou. When she was in college, Chen Mengning made a fuss about her birthday and invited her to a banquet. If I remember correctly, she was born on the lunar calendar during the yin time in a yin year.
Seeing Yu Xuanji being dragged away like this, the Zheng family brothers and sisters were a little stunned for a while. What is the relationship between Brother Jiang (Big Brother Jiang) and the "head".
