General Nangong's Mansion.
Nangong Honglie and his son were taking a break, drinking tea and chatting in the study.
Chu Feng ran out of breath and knocked on the door hurriedly and came in.
"General, gentlemen, something bad has happened!"
Nangong Honglie had never seen Chu Feng lose his composure like this before.
"What's all the fuss about?"
"General, Uncle Li, our purchasing officer, has returned home with news that some people on the street are saying that the princess is the reincarnation of a demon and should be killed on the spot and burned.
Otherwise, the world will be in chaos!
My subordinates felt that this was a serious matter, so they rushed to the streets to verify it, and indeed, quite a few people were spreading the news.
"What nonsense!" Nangong Honglie cursed angrily.
Nangong Yunsheng hurriedly tried to comfort him: "Dad, don't worry, it must be someone with ulterior motives who wants to harm Jiuer."
After saying that, he looked at Chu Feng again: "When did this rumor start?"
"It started yesterday afternoon."
Nangong Yunsheng pondered for a moment: "This matter must be made known to the emperor."
"Well, we will split up into two groups. You two brothers will find a way to suppress the rumors, and go to the palace to find the emperor for your father."
Nangong Honglie stood up suddenly and walked out.
Nangong Yunsheng ordered Chu Feng: "Send out all the people in the mansion, find the source of the rumor, and arrest the person who spread the rumor."
Nangong Yunzhan quickly said, "Call my men along, and we'll go together."
Chu Feng nodded in agreement and quickly went to do it.
The two brothers walked out of the study quickly and were about to go out.
But Nangong Honglie, who had already gone out, came back with Eunuch Wei.
After greeting Eunuch Wei, the two brothers hurriedly asked, "Dad, what's going on?"
"The Emperor already knows about this matter. He was afraid that we would be anxious if we knew about it, so he sent Eunuch Wei to inform us."
The two brothers hurriedly led Eunuch Wei to the flower hall.
Several people sat down.
Eunuch Wei looked around.
Nangong Yunsheng hurriedly waved away the servants who were waiting on him.
Eunuch Wei then got straight to the point: "The Heavenly Dao came to the Yangxin Palace last night and said that people from the demon world wanted to take advantage of Princess Dingguo's reincarnation and her weakest cultivation to harm her..."
Nangong Yunzhan said anxiously, "Eunuch Wei, there are rumors circulating that Jiuer is the reincarnation of a demon."
Eunuch Wei nodded and said, "Yes, the secret guards sent out to investigate have reported to the emperor.
The emperor was afraid that you would be anxious, so he specially sent us to tell you.
Several people who spread the news have been arrested, and the others will be brought to justice soon.
Notices to reassure the public have been posted throughout the city and have also been distributed to other counties. The situation will be resolved as soon as possible, so you can rest assured!
The father and son hurriedly knelt in the direction of the imperial palace and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for taking care of Jiuer!"
Eunuch Wei helped Nangong Honglie up and said, "General Nangong, the way of heaven has said that the princess is a blessing to us Dongling.
As a Dongling citizen, everyone has the responsibility to protect the princess."
After seeing off Eunuch Wei, Nangong Honglie looked at Nangong Yunsheng.
"Boss, didn't Jiuer give you two paper birds when she left?
Let one go, whether they know it or not, it’s better to tell them so they know what’s going on.”
"Yes, son, I'll do it right away!"
The father and his two sons came to the study, and Nangong Yunsheng took out a little bird from the secret cabinet.
“Simply write down what happened in the capital and the emperor’s response on the bird.
Walk out of the study and let the bird fly.
The little bird soared into the sky as if it had life.
Gong County Government Office.
It was early noon that day.
Xiao Chengzi and a group of other children rushed into the county government office crying with injuries all over their bodies.
"Uncle Zhang, Uncle Zhang..."
Magistrate Zhang was startled and quickly put aside his official duties: "Xiaoshan, quickly find a doctor to treat the children's injuries."
After Xiaoshan left, Magistrate Zhang asked the children, "Tell me, what happened? Who did you fight with?"
The children cried out "wow" and cried even louder.
"Uncle Zhang, some people on the street say that the princess is the reincarnation of a demon and should be killed on the spot and burned.
We argued with them, they kept talking nonsense, and then we started fighting.
They are adults, we didn't win, so we had to hurry back to tell you."
"Is there such a thing?"
Magistrate Zhang hurriedly shouted outside, "Someone come!"
A bailiff came in and took orders: "Hurry up and go to the street to ask around and see what's going on."
The bailiff went to do it quickly.
County Magistrate Zhang walked around the room a few times with his hands behind his back and a frown on his face. Just as he was about to go out, Xiaoshan came back with the doctor.
"Master, there's a rumor going around..."
Magistrate Zhang looked at the agitated children and raised his hand to interrupt Xiaoshan: "Hurry up and help take care of the children's injuries."
County Magistrate Zhang sensed a hint of danger and hurried off to discuss matters with several officials.
The same situation occurred one after another in Yi County and other counties near the suburbs of Beijing, and quickly spread outward.
For a time, there were many different opinions and the people began to panic.
Lingyin Temple.
The Taoist priest who went down the mountain to buy things did not even bother to buy anything and hurried back up the mountain.
"Grandmaster, Master, this is bad. There's a rumor going around down the mountain that the young donor who came to our temple half a month ago is the reincarnation of a demon..."
Taoist Qingchen sneered and said to Wuwang, "This must be the work of someone from the demon world.
Disciple, let's go to the capital and look for General Nangong."
Wuwang nodded. "Master, we're all talking about this here. Who knows what kind of chaos the capital has become. We have to go to the capital to clear our master's name."
"Well, let's go!"
The master and disciple flew on their swords straight towards the capital.
After a stick of incense.
Arriving above the capital: "Master, where is General Nangong's residence?"
