The Return of the Demon

Chapter 600 Double Python Robes

Looking at Eunuch Quan who was gloating about his misfortune, Ning Chen looked helpless.

He was punished, and Lao Quan's smiling face looked like a blooming chrysanthemum... All he needed to say was, Ning Chen, do you have this day too?

Ning Chen rolled his eyes, "Stop laughing, I've even seen what you had for breakfast."

Father-in-law Quan: "..."

"Lao Quan, you are so happy that I was punished... It seems that I have to reconsider providing for you in old age."

Eunuch Quan was still smiling, "I usually see His Majesty praising you, but it's rare to see you being scolded by His Majesty... In my heart, why are you so happy? Hahaha..."

Ning Chen was completely speechless.

Eunuch Quan smiled and said: "Okay, don't be depressed... Your Majesty always picks up things hard and puts them down gently."

"Someone, bring the things up!"

The accompanying guard walked in, holding an exquisite box in his hand.

Eunuch Quan smiled and said, "Guess what's inside?"

This box is not small. Ning Chen thought about it and said, "Gold?"

Eunuch Quan said disdainfully, "It's vulgar and unbearable."

"what is that?"

"look by youself."

Ning Chen walked over and opened the box. Inside was a black python robe.

Ning Chen took it out, shook it open and saw that there were actually two pythons embroidered on it.

The black-robed silver python is made of fine fabrics, and the workmanship is impeccable.

Eunuch Quan smiled and said, "How's it going? Do you like it?"

Ning Chen nodded, joy spreading. This python robe was too domineering, and black was his favorite color.

Quan Gong said fairly: "You are now a double king. This python robe was ordered by His Majesty and took more than a month to make. Please try it on quickly."

Because it was just a robe, there was no need to hide from others... Ning Chen changed into it on the spot.

"Lao Quan, how are you? Are you handsome?"

Father-in-law Quan nodded repeatedly.

Ning Chen has a slender figure and handsome features. Putting on this python robe, he looks dignified, domineering and high-spirited.

...

After seeing off his father-in-law, Ning Chen rode his beloved Diao Chan to the Gyeonggi Yamen.

This is his first time here.

As a result, at the gate of the government office, I happened to meet Geng Jing with a few people in red clothes.

"Old Geng, why are you here?"

Geng Jing's eyes lit up when he saw Ning Chen dressed in black robes and double python robes, riding a tall horse... He looked like a young man in bright clothes and an angry horse.

He stepped forward and said: "Three candidates died. His Majesty ordered a thorough investigation... The identities of Shen Wanzhou and Zhou Anshi are not simple. This case has been transferred to the Supervision Department. I am here to mention them."

Ning Chen was surprised, "What are their identities?"

Geng Jing said: "That Zhou Anshi is a direct relative of the same clan as the Taiwei."

"Shen Wanzhou is a famous noble family from the south. His ancestors were the founding fathers of the country. However, his family fell into decline later on, but his family is still very famous in the local area."

"The two people who died were from the north. Although they did not come from any famous families, they were talents who passed the state examination after all... Moreover, students from the north and the south have always been at odds with each other, and there was constant friction."

"If this matter is not handled well, it will further expand the conflict between students from the north and the south...Furthermore, it will expand the conflict between the gentry in the north and the south. That's why His Majesty pays special attention to it."

Ning Chen frowned slightly. It seemed that he had thought one-sidedly before and thought that someone just wanted to kill Daxuan's future pillar... Now it seems that the people behind the scenes also want to provoke a fight between the clans.

"I heard that you were fined one year's salary and thirty canes?"

Geng Jing suddenly changed the subject.

Ning Chen nodded helplessly.

Geng Jing raised his hands in the direction of the palace and said, "Your Majesty, you are wise!"

Ning Chen: →_→

They were punished, and these guys were all as happy as bastards.

Geng Jing said with a smile: "You came here because of those three candidates who died, right?"

Ning Chen nodded, "I am the examiner, commanding the city defense army, and responsible for the security of Kyoto... If such a big thing happens, I can't just ignore it, right?"

Geng Jing said: "Let's go together! But don't take this matter too seriously, leave the case to me... The most important thing for you now is to protect other candidates from getting into trouble. If something happens again, you will be dismissed from your position as examiner." ”

Ning Chen nodded slightly.

The two walked into the Kyoto Yamen together.

When he learned that the king of the town and the inspector Ziyi had arrived at the same time, the governor of Kyoto didn't dare to neglect them, so he quickly came out with a group of people.

"I have met the prince and Lord Geng."

Ning Chen looked at the governor of Kyoto in front of him. He was in his fifties, slightly fat, and had a humble smile on his face.

"No need to be polite, just get up!"

Ning Chen raised his hand and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Geng Jing asked: "Have you received the imperial edict?"

The governor of Kyoto hurriedly said: "I have received His Majesty's order and the case will be transferred to the Supervision Department."

The moment he received the order, he was so excited that he almost cried.

Zhang Huaicai died at the gate of the palace, but he didn't dare to interrogate Ning Chen.

The identities of the two murderers who killed Wang Bo and Li Jue were not simple. Although the evidence was conclusive, the two refused to admit it, and he did not dare to use torture.

If this case is not handled properly, his position will be over.

When he received the order to transfer the case to the Supervision Department, he excitedly went back and kowtowed three times to his ancestors.

Geng Jing asked: "Where is the murderer?"

"Your Majesty, Master Geng, please follow me."

Ning Chen and Geng Jing saw the two murderers.

What surprised Ning Chen was that Shen Wanzhou and Zhou Anshi were not in the prison, but drinking tea leisurely in a room behind the county government office.

Shen Wanzhou and Zhou Anshi are indeed children of famous families, and they both have good looks.

Seeing the prefect bowing his waist and welcoming two people in, his face suddenly changed.

One of them was wearing purple clothes. There was only one person in Daxuan who dared to wear purple fish scale clothes, and that was Geng Jing, the purple-clothed supervisor.

The other one was actually wearing a python robe, and it was a pair of pythons.

The two pythons represent the two kings.

In the current Daxuan, no, throughout the history of Daxuan, there is only one person who has the title of the two kings.

Let alone Ning Chen's identity as the two kings, nor his title of the first-rank general... Just the title of a Daxuan poet is enough to make scholars all over the world admire and worship him.

Without the prefect's introduction, the two quickly stepped forward to salute.

"Student pays respect to the prince, and greets Geng Ziyi."

Geng Jing's face darkened, and he looked at the prefect, "Are they the murderers or guests? If this treatment is spread out, everyone will want to kill someone to try, right?"

The prefect of Kyoto trembled, and sweat broke out on his forehead, "Sir Geng, calm down... This, this..."

In fact, Geng Jing has no official rank, while the prefect of Kyoto is a real third-rank official.

But the Supervisory Department led by Geng Jing belongs exclusively to His Majesty, and is the emperor's confidant... Not to mention the third-rank official, even the first-rank official has to politely call Geng Lord when seeing Geng Jing.

Fortunately, at this time, a yamen runner came to the door with a tray with relevant physical evidence on it.

The appearance of the yamen runner helped the prefect of Kyoto out of the siege, and he said stiffly: "Your Majesty, Lord Geng... These are all physical evidence."

Ning Chen's eyes fell on a paper bag, and he walked over and asked: "Is this the arsenic found in their room?"

The prefect of Kyoto hurriedly said: "That's right!"
