The Return of the Demon

Chapter 113 The Walking King of Hell

Ning Chen looked at Emperor Xuan and explained helplessly:

"Your Majesty, although I don't understand tea, I also know that good tea smells fresh and pleasant, and it leaves a fragrance on your lips and teeth after drinking it."

"Your Majesty, this tea has no fragrance when you smell it. It has a stale taste when you drink it. It is only bitter but not sweet, so I concluded that this is old tea that has been stored for a long time!"

Emperor Xuan's face was gloomy, "You mean to say that some people are substituting inferior goods for good ones, exchanging old ones for new ones... the tea I drank was not the best tea?"

Ning Chen thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty has been to Zhuangyuan Tower. Think about it carefully. Is the tea there more fragrant than this imperial tea?"

Emperor Xuan had a livid face and said no more.

He also ordered someone to deliver the tea in Zhuangyuan Tower.

I didn't pay attention before, maybe because I was too confident, thinking that the tea from Zhuangyuanlou could not be better than his imperial tea... Now that I think about it, it is really what Ning Chen said.

Seeing that Emperor Xuan didn't speak any more, Ning Chen leaned over and bowed: "Your Majesty, that minister will retire first!"

After Ning Chen left, Eunuch Quan looked at Emperor Xuan cautiously, his heart skipping a beat.

Although His Majesty was expressionless, he knew that this was the calm before the storm.

It looks like the Ministry of Internal Affairs is going to suffer.

This Ning Chen is really a living king of hell. Wherever he goes... people will die wherever he goes.

Just drinking tea can kill a bunch of people, that’s it!

Father-in-law Quan complained crazily in his heart.

"Okay, okay... They're all fine. You think I'm a fool, right?"

"First it was Poison Pill... Now even the tea I drink is fake. What else is true in this palace?"

"Quansheng, the decree...let Geng Jing investigate the Yangdan Division thoroughly at all costs. I want to know who wants my life?"

Eunuch Quan hurriedly said: "Yes!"

"Also, order Nie Liang to secretly investigate the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I want to know how many things they are hiding from me?"

"yes!"

I wonder how many more people will die this time? How many people will be implicated?

Emperor Xuan thought for a while and continued: "The Supervisory Department has made great contributions to the rescue. Nie Liang and Geng Jing will each be rewarded with five thousand taels of gold and five hundred pieces of silk and satin."

"Golden clothes, rewarded with a thousand taels of gold and a hundred bolts of silk and satin."

"The rest of the silver clothes will each be rewarded with five hundred taels of gold and fifty pieces of silk and satin."

Eunuch Quan leaned over and listened. After waiting for a long time, when Emperor Xuan didn't speak again, he raised his head with confusion on his face and said, "Your Majesty, there is also Mr. Ning..."

Before he finished speaking, Emperor Xuan gave a look that scared him so much that he choked back his next words.

"This bastard, I originally wanted to betroth the Ninth Princess to him... It would be better for him to intercede for a prisoner's daughter, a brothel girl. It would be nice if I didn't reward him with thirty pieces of gold!"

"Go ahead and do it... Ning Chen won't be rewarded this time!"

Eunuch Quan said hurriedly: "Yes, I will do it now!"

.......

Furong Palace, the old eunuch is back.

Although the queen looked calm on the outside, she was actually very panicked and restless inside.

Seeing the old eunuch coming back, he asked eagerly: "Have you found out?"

The old eunuch whispered: "Your Majesty, all the immortal envoys of the Alchemy Department have been captured and put into the prison of the Supervision Department."

The queen turned pale, "What's going on?"

"Back to your Majesty, Ning Chen discovered that the elixir your Majesty took was poisonous, so he teamed up with Nie Liang and Geng Jing to prepare the elixir."

The queen was stunned.

Immediately, he gritted his teeth and said angrily: "It's this Ning Chen again, what kind of monster is he? A little man in silver clothes makes big noises again and again... How does he know that the elixir is poisonous?"

"The slave overheard a few words and said that Ning Chen discovered cinnabar ore at Hu Xiucai's house outside the city, and then secretly tracked it down and found the Dan Yang Division."

The queen's eyes were cold, "Is he Qiu He's distant relative?"

"Exactly, he has been secretly purchasing cinnabar ore and then selling it to Yangdansi at a high price."

The queen was silent for a while, and then said: "So, isn't it true that we have exposed the truth?"

"no!"

"That's good."

The old eunuch said: "My Majesty, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible... Although we are not directly involved, what if the Supervision Department finds out something? It is very likely to be detrimental to the Madam."

The queen nodded slightly.

"Go to the prime minister's house and let the left prime minister handle the matter...don't involve me."

"Yes, slave, go right away."

The queen's face was livid, her eyes were sinister, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Ning Chen... very good. Sooner or later, I will let you die without a burial place."

...

At this time, Ning Chen had already arrived at the Jiaofang Division.

The people in the Supervision Department must be working overtime to interrogate those magicians.

If I go back now, I will definitely have to work as a coolie.

Therefore, he came to the Jiaofang Division to ask Yudie to do some hard work.

I heard that Ning Chen is here.

Yudie immediately ran to the door happily to greet her.

Nowadays, Yudie wears very conservative clothes.

The clothes on her body were newly made from the silk and satin given by Ning Chen.

The way she was dressed before, she looked like a promiscuous woman.

The way she is dressed now, she looks like a lady.

"Ning Lang?"

Ning Chen hugged her waist and pecked her red mouth.

"Pour me some water quickly. I've been working all night and my throat is smoking."

Yudie quickly told Xiao Xing, "Hurry and help Ning Lang get a pot of hot tea."

"No need, the cold one will quench your thirst!"

Ning Chen walked over, picked up the teapot on the table, brought himself a bowl, and drank it all in two gulps.

After drinking three bowls in a row, I felt a little better.

"This water is really a good thing... just like Yudie."

Yudie looked at him in confusion.

Ning Chen pulled her into his arms and whispered in her ear: "Women are made of water, Yudie, you are better, you have more water."

Yudie's face suddenly turned red.

Ning Chen's hand subconsciously reached into Yudie's collar, but it didn't go in.

There were too many buttons on her collar.

Yudie blushed and obediently unbuttoned a few buttons so that Ning Chen's hand could smoothly reach in.

Ning Chen felt the softness and elasticity in his palm, and his breathing became heavier.

Yudie moaned softly, her whole body went limp, and she collapsed in Ning Chen's arms.

"Ning Lang, I will serve you to bathe..."

Ning Chen played with her for a while, then nodded and hummed, and took his hand back.

Yudie's legs were weak, and she struggled a few times before standing up, her legs rubbing unconsciously... she had just taken a bath, and it seemed that she had to take a bath again.

She asked people to prepare a bathtub, sprinkled flower petals on it, and waited for Ning Chen to take a bath.

Ning Chen directly pulled her into the bathtub... and opened the clams underwater.

Emperor Xuan could not sleep that night.

The queen was in a panic, fearing that she would be implicated.

The Supervisory Department was very busy, and the screams in the torture chamber of the prison did not stop all night.

When the left prime minister received the news, his legs were weak with fear, and he was panicked and worried.

Some ministers also received the news and spent the night restlessly.

Everyone knew that this matter was too big.

To murder His Majesty was a serious crime punishable by the death of nine clans.

Everyone was worried and afraid that this matter would implicate themselves. After all, most people had secretly asked the immortal master of the Yangdan Department for the elixir... but once they were related to this matter, they would surely die.

Only Ning Chen, who turned a deaf ear to the outside world, bravely climbed to the top with his hands, led the bald young general, and fought in and out of the mud. The tired bald young general foamed at the mouth.
