Speaking of this, a person appeared in Chang Sheng's mind, the Twelfth Floor Master. Among several masters, he was the only one who had this possibility. But she wanted to break her head, but she couldn't figure out how to kidnap the Human Emperor. For the Twelfth Floor Master, he was the only one who had this possibility. What's the benefit? No matter which angle you look at it, your eyes should not be on the saint.
The king's way
"Then what happened."
Chang Sheng shook his head
"The top priority is to interrogate the two forbidden soldiers who were on duty in front of the palace gate last night."
The Prime Minister frowned and thought to himself: What's the point of interrogating those two people now? How much can they know since the two of them were knocked unconscious first.
But since Chang Sheng had said it, it was hard for him to refute, so he chose to remain silent.
The emperor and the empress suddenly said outside the palace
"Come here, bring the two Imperial Guards who were on duty last night."
After a while, several forbidden soldiers came in escorting the two people.
But they saw that the two people had been beaten to pieces and their bodies were covered with whip marks. They thought they had been tortured all night.
Chang Sheng looked at the two of them and frowned slightly as he was already breathing less in than out.
The two of them lay dying on the ground. Their blurred vision turned around, but they saw the emperor and the prime minister Chang Sheng in front of them. They immediately seemed to have grasped the last life-saving straw. One of them howled.
"Empress, please let the villain go. I've already said what the villain needs to say. I really don't know anything else."
Chang Sheng paused slowly. The strong smell of blood on their bodies was so pungent that Chang Sheng's eyebrows almost connected.
"Tell me again what happened last night in detail, without missing a word."
The two looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes, but due to the situation, they could only say what they had said countless times again.
One of them managed to get up and knelt on the ground, his voice was weak.
"The villain's name is Ji Shen, and his name is Lu Ying. The two of us were on duty last night. As usual, when we were bored, we started chatting. It must have been around Haishi, when we suddenly felt a chill. The gas came towards us, and we were on guard at that time, but we didn't expect that the attack came from behind, and in just a breath, the two of us were knocked to the ground by two young eunuchs."
Chang Sheng frowned and said
"They attacked you from behind. How did you know it was the little eunuch who beat you?"
Ji Shen said
"The two of us are at the Bo Yu level after all. Although we are not as good as the masters of the martial arts, it is impossible for two little eunuchs to really knock us out. Although the two of us fell to the ground, our minds were still clear. They spoke We heard clearly that it was the eunuch’s voice.”
Chang Sheng nodded slightly and asked again
"Since you didn't faint, why didn't you immediately send a message to the palaces to step up their vigilance and search for the assassin?"
Ji Shen looked at Lu Ying at the side hesitantly, gritted his teeth and said
"After the two of us got up, we immediately chased us out, but..."
Chang Sheng frowned and said
"But what?"
Ji Shen said
"But they disappeared out of thin air."
Chang Shengdao
"How is this possible? How many of them are there?"
Ji Shen recalled it and said
"Listening to the footsteps at that time, there were at least a dozen people."
The Prime Minister said angrily
"More than a dozen people disappeared out of thin air in this palace? What do you do for food!"
Chang Sheng asked again
"Why do you say they disappeared? This palace is so big, why can't they hide in one place?"
Ji Shen said
"It did disappear. It disappeared in front of the two of us. After we got up, we chased after them. It stands to reason that our reaction was not slow. We did see them not far ahead. We didn't dare to be stunned at all, but They were just a dozen feet in front of us and disappeared into thin air."
Chang Sheng looked at Lu Ying, who was lying on the ground, nodded vigorously, and said with a look of disbelief.
"It really just disappeared."
The Prime Minister snorted angrily, shook his sleeves and said
"That's nonsense!"
Then he looked at Chang Sheng and the Empress and said
"You two, you won't believe these two people's nonsense."
But seeing the two of them silent and thoughtful, they became even more angry.
"They are already like this. They won't fool us with such nonsense that sounds like nonsense. They can't really not want to live anymore."
The emperor looked at the two people on the ground suspiciously and said slowly.
"Crazy, crazy, really crazy."
The Prime Minister laughed angrily, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Chang Sheng said nothing, silently recalling what Ji Shen had just said.
…
At this moment, on Taiyang Road, outside the city lord's mansion.
A handsome young man stood in front of the city lord's mansion.
"Dong dong dong!"
He knocked on the door.
"Squeak!"
After a while, Little Peach Blossom's lovely head emerged from the door, and her two big watery eyes looked at the handsome boy.
"you again."
Xiao Taohua said.
The young man smiled greenly and scratched his head awkwardly.
"Is the city lord at home?"
The little peach blossom rolled her eyes, smiled slyly, and suddenly shouted towards the door
"Manager Yan! That kid came here to fight again!"
Yan Sihai's roar suddenly came from inside the door.
"How many times have I told you not to call me Manager Yan!"
"Bang!"
A smelly black cloth shoe flew from the yard. Little Peach Blossom stuck out her tongue coquettishly, shrank her head and ran back to the house, but she did not close the door.
The black cloth shoes came towards the young man and hit him in the face, leaving clearly visible sole lines on the young man's face.
"roll!"
The young man had a grimace on his face, scratched his head again, and left angrily.
Feeling lost all the way, he unknowingly came to Handicraft Street. This was a street he had walked countless times, because he had grown up here since he was a child, and he could return here naturally even with his eyes closed.
"Little bell!"
His thoughts were pulled back by a woman's call. He looked up and saw shopkeeper Li holding a handful of melon seeds in front of the Buzhuang on the street. He was cracking the melon seeds while staring at him with a smile. , and there are a few little sisters beside him.
"Look at his devastated look. It's likely that he was driven back by people from the city lord's palace."
A well-dressed woman on the side laughed, causing shopkeeper Li and others to giggle incessantly.
For a moment, Xiao Zhong felt that there were countless voices in his ears.
"Good sisters, please stop making fun of me."
Shopkeeper Li was the first to listen. She stretched out her hand to stop everyone and said
"Okay, okay, Xiao Zhong has grown up under our watch, so we can't just leave him alone to make fun of him."
The women on the side looked at each other and burst out laughing.
"Sister Li is feeling distressed. It's no wonder that when she was young, old man Zhong didn't have time to take care of his children when he was busy with business, but it was sister Li who took care of our little Zhong."
Xiao Zhong looked helpless
"Sister Liu, stop talking. Besides, the customers in the store are going to run away."
As he said that, he looked at the door of a snack shop opposite. There were two people lingering for a long time and were about to leave. Sister Liu's expression changed.
"Ouch!"
He lifted up his skirt and ran forward vigorously.
Behind them, the group of idle ladies looked at Mrs. Liu's vigorous steps and smiled.
"Xiao Zhong, listen to my sister's advice, what kind of person is the Lord of Honghua City? He is the banished immortal in the sky, the eldest lady of the Chang family, the pearl hanging in the sky for everyone in the world to look up to, the Lord of Taiyang City who was personally conferred by the saint. With all the splendor and splendor in one body, surrounded by all kinds of favors, he is an extremely wealthy person, how can he have anything to do with you."
A gentle-looking woman stepped forward, holding a book in her hand and persuading Xiao Zhong.
Xiao Zhong looked at the lady, then lowered his head, but the next moment he raised it again, looked at the lady, his eyes were clear and clear, and he said calmly
"Sister Su, but she is just a girl about the same age as me."
Another woman came over. She smelled strongly of oil smoke, and her clothes were not as exquisite as the others, but she spoke straightforwardly.
"Then you went to the City Lord's Mansion today and saw her?"
Xiao Zhong avoided her sight
"Not... not at home."
Madam Su saw Xiao Zhong's eyes looking unnatural, and knew that he had probably hit a wall, so she also thought of helping him out, and said to the Madam Su.
"Wu Qinghui, take care of your own winery."
The lady named Wu Qinghui rolled up her sleeves, tucked up her waist, and said carelessly:
"Su Qinqin, don't worry, I have to scold this brat today."
Shopkeeper Li saw that the situation was not going well and hurriedly stepped forward to help smooth things over.
"Okay, okay, you two are really busy. Anyway, Xiao Zhong is back, and he has seen enough excitement. Xiao Zhong is still young, and he will figure out some things by himself. Let's all leave, Xiao Zhong. You should also go home quickly, your old clock has been looking for you for a long time."
The little clock suddenly trembled
"Oh, Master!"
With that said, he quickly ran away from here.
Su Qinqin, Wu Qinghui and others behind him looked bored when they saw Xiao Zhong running away, and went back.
Deep in the Handicraft Street, there is a special old shop. This shop has been in the Handicraft Street for decades, and its business has always been very good. It is also famous in the entire Taiyang City. The things they make are unique to this shop. Semicolon, fireworks.
During festivals, the entire city has to buy fireworks to celebrate the festival, including the palace. Therefore, every month before the festival, the only fireworks shop in the city is always so busy that even the shopkeeper can't be found.
"Master!"
As soon as he ran into the shop, Xiao Zhong shouted.
The shop is divided into an inner room and an outer hall, separated by a curtain. An old man over fifty opened the curtain, with beads of sweat on his face.
"Come in quickly, I've taken on a big business, I'm very busy."
The old man said, it was Xiao Zhong’s master, Old Man Zhong.
Xiao Zhong was stunned. It was only June. It was not the Chinese New Year, and there were still two months before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Why did a big business suddenly come to him?
"Big business?"
Xiao Zhong asked.
Old Man Zhong's tired face showed a smile, full of wrinkles.
"A nobleman who lives on Taiyang Road just came here. He said he wanted to order thousands of fireworks."
"Ten thousand noises!"
Xiao Zhong was surprised and said that even if there were tens of thousands of fireworks, even a hundred fireworks would be an exaggeration.
Old man Zhong said
"The customer asked for a thousand ten-ring fireworks, and they will be picked up in half a month."
