The cat demon in Changping Mansion is actually the daughter of this old lady who disappeared six years ago!

Seeing the unconscious old woman sitting in the yard waiting for her daughter to come back, Fan Xiaodao was sad. Who did such a thing that hurt the world? He made a secret decision in his heart that he must catch the mastermind behind the scenes and give this widowed old man an explanation.

Fan Xiaodao left the Drum Tower without hesitation.

He directly found Zhao Xing and told him what he found today. Zhao Xing took a long time out of a pile of files and took out a copy and said, "Finally found it! The case of the missing population of Shuntian Prefecture. The woman was named Qu Xiuxiu. She was twelve years old when she disappeared. She was kidnapped during the Chinese Lantern Festival on the Qixi Festival six years ago and was caught and her whereabouts were unknown."

I thought it was just an ordinary missing person, but I didn't expect that the other party turned it into a monster.

Based on the clues given by the mighty general, the only one who has the ability, strength, and the power to do such experiments is Taiping Taoist Temple! Zhao Xingdao: "I have read the file for a few days. In the past ten years, there have been more than 300 missing cases in the capital. Except for more than 100 cases that have been closed, the rest have occurred in July to September six years ago, with more than 20 cases, all of which are children under the age of fifteen. In recent years, the number of missing people has been significantly less."

Fan Xiaodao said: "The Taiping Taoist Temple is very suspicious."

Zhao Xing said: "They refined the alchemy for His Majesty, but no one dared to test the medicine. It is very likely. But, what are you doing when you create a bunch of monsters?"

Fan Xiaodao said: "What would you do if you had such a controllable cat demon during the birthday of Your Majesty and kill a bunch of people?"

Zhao Xing was shocked.

He had thought of this possibility, "But, Taiping Taoist Temple directly obeyed His Majesty, how could he do such a thing?"

"There are unexplainable connections between Gaoyang King Zhu Dian and Taiping Taoist Temple. This kind of suspicion is not impossible."

The more they thought about it, the more shocked they became.

If the two of you speculated, wouldn’t your Majesty’s birthday be dangerous?

The two immediately decided to tell the Crown Prince Zhu Yan about this matter. He was responsible for the entire birthday and needed to be taken precautions.

...

Prince's Mansion.

"Investigate Taiping Taoist Temple? Are you two crazy?" Zhu Yan looked at the two of them and became uneasy when he heard them say that there was something wrong with Taiping Taoist Temple. "Even if you investigate, only Your Majesty gave the order. However, as far as I know, the immortality pill of Taiping Taoist Temple has been refined, and is now in the drug testing stage. He is preparing to offer pills to his father on the birthday certificate. At this time, wouldn't he feel uncomfortable investigating them!"

Zhu Yan has been in a state of great difficulty recently.

At this critical moment, it is definitely not a wise choice to provoke Taiping Taoist Temple.

The two told Zhu Yan about the process of the cat demon case in Changping Mansion and the discovery in the capital today. Zhu Yan looked solemn after hearing this. He could not sit idly by now, "I have to discuss this with Uncle Xue."

Xue Yingxiong is the commander of the Jinyiwei and Duke of Jingguo. Although he has been suppressed by the East Factory recently, it is only a means of balance of power by His Majesty. If there is a problem with the Taiping Taoist Temple, the only person who can speak in front of His Majesty is probably the only brother of this emperor.

"How are you prepared for the birthday celebration?"

Zhu Yan sighed: "It's a big difference. Now, it's too difficult to accomplish something. A trivial matter, three or four yamen will stumbling for you. On the surface, it's a harmonious place, and all kinds of "good and good" are true, but when it comes to the implementation stage, it's not working hard, and the efficiency is too poor! When I become the emperor, the first thing I have to deal with is these officials who are lazy and lazy."

Fan Xiaodao sighed in his heart, the Crown Prince has only ambitions and has grown rapidly over the years, but why was he suppressed by Princess Taiping one after another when he was the crown prince? In the end, the reason was that he was not good enough to be down-to-earth, and lacked enough understanding of the operation of lower-level officials. This is in sharp contrast with those who have struggled from the grassroots level like Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing. Fortunately, Zhu Yan has strong self-learning and correction ability and has realized this.

"What are your plans next?"

Fan Xiaodao said: "We are now marginalized in the Six Gates. There is nothing wrong anyway. I want to follow up on the missing persons and see if we can make a breakthrough from Taiping Taoist Temple."

"Don't act rashly until there is conclusive evidence." Crown Prince Zhu Yan reminded.

Fan Xiaodao said: "Don't worry, your highness, we are just investigating in secret."

The two left the prince's mansion through the back door.

Princess Taiping's eyeliner was everywhere in the prince's mansion. After the assassination of the ghost king Li Zhishan, Prince Zhu Yan was very careful in his actions. Recently, he screened the people in the mansion and dug out several nails buried in the prince's mansion, but it is unknown whether they were completely removed.

...

Taiping Taoist Temple is the property of the royal family and is strictly guarded, so it is not easy to get in, so the two of them dare not act rashly.

However, during the martial arts conference, when Yu Dadi, the leader of Diancang, died, the two went in once when they investigated the case and had a general understanding of the terrain layout of Wanshou Mountain. At that time, they had a relationship with Taoist Taiping. Taoist Taiping only looked at him, which made Fan Xiaodao retreat with fear. The two still remembered this vividly.

When Yu Dadi died, he thought it was a cat demon, but he caused a mistake.

Unexpectedly, after going around, I returned to Taiping Taoist Temple.

In the next few days, the two of them kept keeping a look at the door of Taiping Taoist Temple, but nothing unusual happened.

Just as the two were about to give up, things took a turn for the better.

While they were having a meal at a restaurant outside the Taoist temple, two coachmen came in. As soon as they came in, they said: "Boss, the old rules are: four dishes, one soup, two meats and two vegetables, ten kilograms of roasted knives, and ten kilograms of beef, pack them and take them away. By the way, go to the opposite side to get some paper horse incense candles and take them away together."

The boss knew the two of them and smiled and said, "Mr. Guo Er, Fourth Master, is this another job?"

Mr. Guo glared at me, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, why don't you talk so much nonsense!"

The boss was scolded and left in disappointment, asking the friend to prepare.

Mr. Guo said, "Damn it, I thought I could rest for two days, but I didn't expect it to be impossible to calm down for a moment."

The Fourth Master said: "It would be great to take money and eliminate disasters for others. You have a job."

The two of them had a low voice in their conversation, but for Fan and Zhao, it was not a problem to listen.

Mr. Guo said, "I don't know what's going on recently. The group of dog legs in the East Factory stared at the Taoist temple very tightly, making us look like thieves and do whatever we do."

Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing looked at each other, how could Dongchang also set their sights on Taiping Taoist Temple?

Taoist temple is a private property of the royal family, and Liushemen has no jurisdiction, but Dongchang has the right to investigate. Because of Xiaotang Temple, Dongchang was slandered by Taiping Taoist temple, which was considered a gangster. With Eunuch Lu's vengeful personality, he must find his face from them.

After the things were prepared, Guo Er and Guo Si were about to leave with them and said, "The things were recorded in the account first, and they will be calculated for you together at the end of the year."

The boss's mouth twitched and he smiled and said, "Two masters, we are all small business. If we always drag it like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to end the year."

Mr. Guo cursed: "Why, I'm so proud of you when I come here. I'm shameless, right?"

The boss said repeatedly: "How can you do it? You rely on your two masters to take care of your business."

Mr. Guo said, "Then you don't feel happy here! Don't worry, I will give you money before the end of the year!" After that, he left with the Fourth Master.

The boss smiled and carefully sent the two out the door, "Go along the way!" He turned around, and showed disdain on his face, spitting, "Things that rely on people's power!"

When passing by Fan Xiaodao's table, Fan Xiaodao stopped them and said, "Boss, these two are quite arrogant. Do you know them?"

The boss said: "This is Guo Er and Guo Si brothers, who usually do some despicable activities. I don't know if it's the ancestral tomb that they are coming from the blue smoke, but they actually hooked up with a powerful figure in Taiping Taoist Temple. In the past two years, they have been helping Tianping Taoist Temple with some shameful things."

"Is the Taiping Taoist Temple a royal Taoist Temple? What else can you be ashamed of? "

The boss said: "It is precisely because it belongs to the royal family that there are many shameful people."

“What about?”

When the boss saw Fan Xiaodao asking a lot, he became alert, "What are you two doing? What are you doing?"

Fan Xiaodao took out a piece of silver from his arms and placed it on the table, "I have nothing to do, I'll ask around. As long as you are willing to say, the silver is yours."

When the boss saw the silver, his eyes shone.

This piece of silver, at least ten taels, is the profit of their restaurant for nearly a month.

The boss said: "It's a dead person!"

“Be more specific.”

The boss said: "The Taiping Taoist Temple refines elixirs for Your Majesty. After the new elixir is released, it usually tests the medicine for animals first, and then finds people to ensure that it is correct. Only after it is correct can it be given to the dignitaries and nobles in the palace and the capital. At the beginning, they spent money to hire the poor people to try the elixirs, but after that, there were too many accidents. Every time a person died, it was a considerable expense. So they started to think of the homeless people and beggars in the capital. Anyway, they were going to die. So they just made some idlers and stuttering. They found a place to dig a hole to deal with it when they died. It was easy to make such a thing. They could not be told clearly to the public, so they could only do it secretly. Guo Er and Guo Si walked a way and did this job."

"Why are you preparing wine, meat, incense, candles, paper horses?"

The boss hesitated for a moment.

Fan Xiaodao took out another piece of silver and placed it on the table.

Seeing that he was so generous, the boss simply told him, "Guo Er and Guo Siji are superstitious and probably know that this is harmful to the world, so he did some of this and did a simple ritual to seek peace of mind."

"Does this happen often?"

Before the boss could stop him, Fan Xiaodao put down another piece of silver.

The boss said: "It wasn't too many before, but recently it started to increase, two or three times a month."

Seeing that the two had similar questions, Guo Er and Guo Si had questions, they had to find a way to keep an eye on them, so they stood up and said goodbye.

The boss was about to get the money, but Fan Xiaodao said, "There is something else, why don't you give it to you together?"

He took out the six door guard's waist signs from his arms and placed them on the table.

When the boss saw it, he quickly took his hand back.
Chapter completed!
