Song Tan said nothing, and these words did not cause any ripple on his face.
He has been traveling the world, exorcising demons and monsters for longer than Jiang Yisheng has lived in this world. He has seen more of the warmth and coldness of human nature and the dangers of the world than Jiang Yisheng has ever heard of.
Goodwill may have been lost in some unknown corner.
The clam monster in front of them might be being exploited and persecuted, but are Xue Xi and the others really completely fine?
After Jiang Yisheng finished speaking, he suddenly realized that he was disrespectful to his uncle, and quickly stopped talking, but did not apologize.
He felt he was right.
It’s just that this uncle-master is too free and easy. Judging from his appearance and behavior, how can he be the kind of demon-slayer Taoist priest who cares about the world and is highly respected?
Jiang Yisheng glanced at the few people, and finally turned to Yao Yao and said:
"Yaoyao, let's take this monster back first."
Yao Yao hesitated, "Brother Jiang, how are you going to deal with this monster?"
Jiang Yisheng did have a headache when he thought about Concubine Xiang's previous actions.
"Let's take it back first. This monster is truly pitiful, being used by the Xue family... No wonder Concubine Xiang wants to drive us away. She's probably afraid we'll 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 astonished gaze and said mercilessly:
"Are you really the disciple taught by the master? Tsk, could it be that the master is being lazy?"
Jiang Yisheng's face flushed red, and the indignation he had just felt was instantly shattered.
After Song Tan finished speaking, he looked at Mo Qin again, like a strict teacher who asked students to answer questions in class.
"You think so too?"
Mo Qin: “?”
Mo Qin organized her words and said, "That alone doesn't explain those problematic stores."
I briefly investigated those shops. Although I didn't find any physical evidence, I at least caught a half-demon.
The demon was imprisoned in the yard, but the half-demon was the shopkeeper in the store?
This matter 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, but the owners of those shops were not the same person.
He did not associate this incident with Xue Xi.
Song Tan pursed his lips into a straight line, looked at Jiang Yisheng as if he were a fool, then shook his head and left.
It seems that this child is beyond redemption.
Jiang Yisheng's sunny and gentle face was not only stained with a hint of gloom.
He and Yao Yao took the clam monster and walked back.
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 righteous demon hunter I have ever met!"
When other demon hunters see a demon, even if they don't kill it all, few people will lend them a helping hand.
Jiang Yisheng is a minority, otherwise she would not have thought of taking action against him.
These words gave Jiang Yisheng some comfort. He smiled, raised his head and touched Yaoyao's head lovingly, "Thank you, Yaoyao."
Yao Yao comforted Jiang Yisheng before she stopped smiling and became worried.
It seems that Song Tan and the others were not deceived. No, it should be said that only Jiang Yisheng was deceived.
We have to find an opportunity to pass on this message.
-
Everyone else had left, only Mo Qin and Feng Jun remained.
Feng Jun glanced at the direction Song Tan left, seeming to be thinking about something.
Mo Qin asked, "Why? Any ideas?"
Feng Jun: "What do you mean by idea?"
"Aren't you looking for the guy who hurt you?"
Feng Jun spread his hands and said, "Your uncle has captured all the prisoners I captured. Of course I want to wait for your good news."
Feng Jun looked at the street in the distance, saw some pedestrians there, and suggested:
"While it's still early, why don't you go shopping?"
On the other side, Song Tan found Zhu Sheng, who was sent out by him to do something. Zhu Sheng was wearing a green robe and a pure white mask on his face. He jumped in front of Song Tan and stretched out a clenched fist.
A blue bead fell into Song Tan's palm.
A bead condensed from human vitality.
A smile appeared on Song Tan's lips, and he held the beads and looked at the sunlight.
"It's hidden really deep."
-
The next day in court.
Xue Xi was wearing a neat official uniform, which made him stand out among the middle-aged men.
Xue Xi was standing in the front row again, and the emperor could see him at a glance. Thinking of Concubine Xiang who was angry because he did not drive away the demon hunter, the emperor could not help but sigh.
The official who was reporting below couldn't help shaking his body, looked up at the emperor, and hurriedly dared not say anything more.
As soon as that person retreated, another person came out.
"Your Majesty, recently there have been rumors among the people of the city that a demon has appeared in the palace! The people are in a state of panic. I implore Your Majesty to expel the demon exorcist from the palace!"
As soon as this was said, someone immediately raised the issue.
"Under the Emperor's feet, there is the protection of the true dragon spirit. How could there be any demonic creatures causing trouble?"
"His Majesty……"
The emperor was thinking of waiting until Concubine Xiang calmed down before letting the Taoist priests invited from the Jingming Sect to remove the bad luck from the palace.
After all, he actually saw the dead that day.
Think 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 before he could finish his words.
"Your Majesty, I second the motion!"
"Prime Minister, you..."
The emperor couldn't believe it.
Xue Xi has always understood his heart best and is also a minister with outstanding talent and learning. He didn't expect that he would now oppose him.
Faced with pressure from his ministers, the emperor finally agreed to expel the demon-slayers from the palace.
If they are not allowed to live in the palace, there is nothing wrong with placing them in an inn in the city.
When the eunuch went to the yard to convey the imperial edict, he found that no one was there.
The eunuch had no choice but to send a young eunuch to report, while he continued to wait here.
The few people who were not in the small courtyard were now divided into three groups to investigate the problematic stores in the city.
Last time I went there openly, but this time I went there secretly.
Unexpectedly, they actually found it, and made quite a bit of progress.
We have found some evidence in several stores that we have investigated before, evidence that those stores are stealing the lives of their customers.
The pharmacy secretly tampered with some common medicines, and mixed certain substances into rouge and powder...
Jiang Yisheng was both shocked and happy.
"Yaoyao, you're amazing!" Jiang Yisheng excitedly hugged Yao Yao into his arms, "You're my lucky star!"
Yao Yao naturally hugged Jiang Yisheng back. She put her ear to Jiang Yisheng's chest and heard his accelerated heartbeat.
A wave of guilt rose in my heart.
Brother Jiang, I'm sorry, I have no choice.
The other two groups should be able to find clues smoothly...
Of course, the other two groups found it and became suspicious of the clues they had obtained.
