My Lady Is Not A Demon

The next day, Chen Mu deliberately found a separate courtyard for Zhang Awei.

The location is quite good.

The grass on both sides is separated, and a few old trees with flowers and leaves stand in front of the door, and the breeze is coming, making people feel refreshed.

At least half an hour away from Meng Yanqing's courtyard.

Chen Mu really didn't want Zhang Awei to quarantine with Meng Yanqing.

First of all, at present, the people behind the scenes have been eyeing Zhang Awei, but he has not taken any action yet, indicating that he has a deeper plan.

Secondly, Chen Mu intends to use Zhang Awei as bait.

After moving Zhang Awei to another small courtyard, Chen Mu arranged for Wenmingren and Qi Delong brothers to live together.

At the same time, Wang Fafa sent someone to stare at him secretly.

Once the enemy has any movement, even if these people can't make the climate, they can at least make a noise.

"In fact, the clues are already very clear."

Chen Mu sorted out the information he had summed up, and said to Hei Ling of Vermillion Bird Hall. "The purpose of the people behind the scenes of snatching the'things out of heaven' is for sex change.

Although I don't understand why we did this, it is obvious from the information we have that this conspiracy has been laid out for a long time, so the identity of the person behind the scenes is definitely not low, and it is also very special.

In addition, Baidi Holy Sword Ji Wuming is very likely not dead.

His plan of suspended animation does not seem to be aimed at us, but at blinding people behind the scenes.

From here, I infer that their group of gangs are hiding ghosts. Although their goals are the same, everyone has their own abacus in their hearts.

The third point is that they definitely have a way to enter the altar on the day of the sacrificial ceremony.

So I hope that when the time comes, Charon can enter the altar and protect it earlier, maybe—"

"This is impossible!"

Hei Ling shook his head to interrupt him. "The altar is a royal forbidden area. It is impossible for Charon to enter, and the outside guard is extremely tight. I don't believe they can enter."

Chen Mu had no choice but to retreat: "Then can you tell Lord Vermillion Bird to send more masters in the temple."

"good."

Hei Ling nodded.

In fact, there are many masters in the imperial palace. If someone trespasses into the temple or the altar, it is completely dead.

She really didn't believe anyone could break into the altar.

In the afternoon, Wang Fafa finally brought news about'Yan Ji'.

Yanji Pastry Shop is located at the entrance of Laoliu Alley in the West District of the Outer City.

Almost all the foreign bureaucrats were dispatched by the six doors to find this place.

The shop owner is a middle-aged woman in her forties.

With ordinary appearance and years of hard work, there were a few vaguely visible crow's feet in the corner of her eyes, and she looked like an ordinary honest woman.

According to the investigation, the woman has been operating a pastry shop on this street for six years.

The family background is innocent and there is no problem.

…

Inside the shop, the proprietress looked at the young and handsome quick-catcher in front of her uneasily, pulling her clothes with her hands nervously from time to time.

The catchers outside the door made her heartbeat even tighter, not knowing what happened.

"Someone bought pastries from you five days ago. It's a man."

Chen Mu looked at the red wrapping paper with the word ‘Yan Ji’ written in his hand, raised his eyes to the woman who was embarrassed in front of him, and asked softly, “Do you still have an impression?”

"man?"

Chen Mu's handsome face made the boss's wife sway, and then smiled bitterly:

"My lord, although our small shop doesn't have many customers, there are more than 20 customers patronizing every day. How do you impress me."

"You have been the boss's wife for so long, and you have seen a lot of customers, at least you still have some insight."

Chen Mu smiled, his voice still gentle. "Ordinary farmers, temperament scholars, wealthy people, plainclothes officials...It is still very easy to distinguish for you. At least there are a few people that impress you, right."

Listening to Chen Mu's words, the lady boss showed a sense of astringency: "That's what you said, but..."

"Think carefully."

Chen Mu raised Erlang's legs, put the red wrapping paper in his hands on his legs, and said lightly. "As much as I can remember, I'm not in a hurry, I will wait slowly."

The proprietress had no choice but to make memories.

After a long time, it seemed that a memory was stuffed into the head of the proprietress. Her eyes suddenly brightened and she said, "There is a person who has a bit of an impression."

A smile appeared at the corner of Chen Mu's mouth: "Isn't this remembered? Tell me, what kind of person is it?"

"It is indeed a man, not very tall, probably a little shorter than you." The lady boss stretched out her hand and gestured. "But I forgot his looks."

"Forgot? Is he masked?"

Chen Mu raised his eyebrows.

"No, I just can't remember it. I have an impression, but if I think about it, I feel a fog on my face. Anyway, I can't remember it."

The boss said helplessly.

Chen Mu frowned slightly: "Then why do you have an impression of him."

The proprietress said: "At that time he bought a box of pastries in my shop, and then accidentally dropped an item when he left. I chased him up and gave it to him.""Do you remember anything?"

"A letter."

"Is there any impression on the letter?"

"It's not impressive." The lady boss shook her head and squeezed a smile. "That kind of situation, even if I look back, I will forget it."

Chen Mu's fingertips tapped his arm lightly.

He glanced at the bleak street outside and the hurried pedestrians, and said lightly: "Where did you chase."

"It's a little far away, just at the corner of the street ahead." The lady boss pointed outside the door.

"Take us there." Chen Mu got up.

The lady boss quickly led the way.

The location is indeed not far away, probably more than two hundred meters away from the shop, surrounded by some old houses, several places are vacant.

The lady boss pointed to the right corner of the street: "He was walking in a hurry, I was here to give him the letter."

"Are you sure it's in this direction?"

"Of course it is."

The lady boss nodded.

Chen Mu put his hands on his chest and looked carefully.

This area is very desolate, with yellow and decayed weeds everywhere, and some of the dilapidated walls of some courtyards are half-collapsed and rubble is everywhere.

If the opponent walked from here at that time, it would be a dead end.

In other words, his destination is likely to be a house somewhere, maybe someone to meet? Maybe what is it?

Chen Mu motioned to the lady boss to go back, and he slowly checked around.

Time gradually passed.

Until Chen Mu came to a small courtyard with a slightly open door, stopped and walked forward, he saw the traces of the door posts pulling on the ground.

"Enclose the entire yard."

Chen Mu's eyes were burning, and he gestured towards Wang Fafa.

Those arrests quickly dispersed.

Chen Mu did not enter through the front entrance, but stepped over the wall to enter. Mottled moss grew between the wet brick and stone cracks, emitting a wild fragrance.

The small courtyard is just an ordinary farmer's house.

Has been abandoned for a long time.

There were only five rooms in total, dilapidated.

Chen Mu took out a sharktooth knife and carefully scanned several dilapidated houses, and finally fixed his eyes on the small house closest to the earth wall.

There are obvious signs of cleaning before the Outer Sect.

Chen Mu sighed softly, and walked closer to the hut. There was no movement in it quietly, and the surrounding air was slightly damp.

Chen Mu reached out and pushed the door open.

Dense spider silk sticks to the corner, and the dim sky light clearly reflects the fine dust floating in the sky...

This is just a broken house.

Chen Mu stared for a moment and stepped into the hut.

Just after his feet crossed the threshold, he suddenly heard a small click, and then a strong light suddenly enveloped him.

organ?

Chen Mu subconsciously covered his eyes, only to feel countless rays of light flying around, followed by pitch black, and his whole body seemed to be floating.

This feeling is similar to the weightlessness of the sky, the feet seem to lose their focus, but the body still stands firmly.

Chen Mu realized that something was wrong, so he subconsciously swung a knife, only to find that his body couldn't use his strength at all.

It was as if the air was full of glue, sticking every inch of his muscles.

After about six or seven minutes, a burst of vertigo suddenly hit his forehead, and as the cold wind hit his face, Chen Mu felt his body returned to normal.

When I opened my eyes, I found myself in a strange place.

In front of me is a rectangular stone door carved out of the mountain wall. There are many mysterious runes carved on the door, and these runes reveal a little green light.

Looking up, it looks like a palace hollowed out of a mountain.

Several stone statues stand around.

In front of the archway, the double-sided "five-claw golden dragon" dragon stone sculpture, the dragon stone sculpture is in the shape of a lying stele, and there are stone dragons on both sides bending over.

Like a living thing in the dark atmosphere.

"What is this place?"

An inexplicable anxiety hit Chen Mu's heart.

Until his gaze fell on the two large characters next to him, a piercing intensive chill appeared on his back.

——The imperial tomb!

"who!?"

Suddenly, there was a sharp shout.

Dozens of sergeants wearing black black armor came forward with weapons and surrounded Chen Mu.

These guards had a murderous air on their faces, and their strength was good. They coldly stared at Chen Mu who had suddenly appeared in the imperial tomb with a vigilant expression.

This is the Xiaoling Guard who guards the imperial tomb!

Chen Mu was stunned for more than ten seconds, a cold breath was inhaled, and only three words hovered in his buzzing mind.

--be cheated!

Although he didn't know which link went wrong, Chen Mu understood that he had fallen into a trap set by the enemy.

Subconsciously, he would slay himself with a knife.

However, he suddenly remembered that the time had already exceeded the time limit for ‘rebirth’. Even if he committed suicide, he could only repeat the actions just now.

Feeling the murderous aura from Xiaolingwei's body, Chen Mu made a decisive decision, threw away the shark-tooth knife in his hand, took out the six doors and the identity token of the Swordsman Division, and said loudly:

"I am the chief arrester of the six doors. The Xuantian Department of the Suppression Demon Division supervises Chen Mu. I have important matters reported to the Queen Mother!"

——

The bright moon in the night sky gradually hung on the dark sky, like a bright mirror in a pool.

Vermillion Bird hall.

After dealing with the accumulation of official duties, Bai Xianyu squinted her eyes to relax, her exquisite and curvy figure was beautiful in the light of the lights.

"Yeah, it's so late."

Seeing the sky outside the window, Bai Xianyu was startled, and quickly cleared the text on the table.

The husband is estimated to have gone home.

If you can't see her, I guess this guy will have to worry again.

In the past few days, whenever she was dealing with official duties, she rushed to home early, so as not to arouse the suspicion and worry of her husband.

"Master!"

When he was getting up to change clothes, the door of the house was suddenly pushed open.

Hei Ling hurriedly entered the house, looking anxious.

"What's wrong, all the fuss."

Bai Xianyu didn't have a good airway. "It looks as if the sky is going to collapse."

Hei Ling said anxiously: "Master, something has happened. Master Chen has just been arrested and detained in Tianzhao Prison."

"What did you say!!"

Bai Xianyu was dumbfounded, rushing forward and staring at the opponent. "What are you joking, isn't your husband investigating the case? How could he be caught in the Tianzhao prison."

In the Great Yan Dynasty, Tianzhao Prison was an extremely special prison.

It is in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The prisoners were all prisoners whose orders were issued by the emperor himself.

Netherguard, Xichang, and Six Doors have no right to carry out investigations and interrogations unless they are ordered by your majesty.

Hei Ling, with sweat on his forehead, said: "The specific situation is not well understood. I only know that Master Chen was caught on the spot by Xiaolingwei because he had trespassed in the imperial tomb. He then reported it to his majesty, and his majesty personally ordered him to be arrested. Hell of Heaven."

"What a joke!"

Bai Xianyu overturned the table, and the official documents that had just been sorted scattered. "How could the husband go to the imperial tomb privately!"

Heiling smiled bitterly.

Intruding into the imperial tomb is a felony, even a capital crime.

And Xiaolingwei was in charge of His Majesty. Chen Mu completely hit the gunpoint this time, and he didn't know what happened.

"I'm going to see the Queen Mother, you find a way to meet your husband."

Bai Xianyu said coldly.

The woman showed her fists clenched, her expression stretched into blue and white, and hurried to the palace.

Heiling has a headache.

If there is no special approval from your majesty, how can she meet Chen Mu in Tian Zhao Prison, unless someone from the procuratorate is willing to help, now she can only try her luck.

News of Chen Mu's arrest soon spread to other places.

Including the West Factory, six doors, and all organizations that care about Chen Mu.

There are surprised people, doubters, and spectators... Suddenly, there seems to be another small wave in the capital.

——

Tian Zhao prison.

In the gloomy cell, Chen Mu sat alone on the damp wooden bench, closing his eyes and thinking.

Careless!

This time it was really careless!

He still can't figure out which link has the problem.

Is the proprietress of that pastry shop deliberately deceiving him? She is actually a pawn of the person behind the scenes?

wrong.

When he came, he had carefully checked the information of the proprietress, and there was absolutely no problem.

There is no possibility of disguise or replacement.

Moreover, judging from the other's demeanor and demeanor, she is an ordinary merchant woman, and if there is any intention to lie, he can feel it.

Since it's not the boss's wife, it's someone else.

Lizard temptress?As one of the important core forces behind the scenes, her ability to resist punishment is still extremely strong, and her will is quite strong.

Even if Vermillion Bird used the big punishment, she might lie.

But the problem is that if she lied and was found out afterwards, then she wouldn't have a good fruit, and the people behind the scenes would definitely not be able to save her.

Rather than entering the eighteenth floor of The Underworld, not entering the gate of Vermillion Bird's life and death.

This is not a joke.

At least for now, there is no need for the Lizard Lady to provide false information.

If everything is normal, then there seems to be a possibility-there is an inner ghost around.

And this inner ghost is always watching him, or knowing all his actions, so he set up an ambush in advance, causing him to fall into a trap.

Who will this ghost be?

Not many people have been investigating with him in the past few days, either Yun Zhiyue, or Su Qiaoer's little snake spirit, or Wang Fafa or Zhang Awei and Wenmingren...

But judging from these few people, it is clear that there is a gap with the identity of the inner ghost.

Even if it was Wang Fafa, Chen Mu was quite trusted.

Who else?

Or is it because these people accidentally revealed the information to people around them, but the people around them are actually ghosts?

Chen Mu tapped his knees with his fingers.

chaos!

too messy!

Countless thoughts seemed to be tangled wool, which stirred up confusion and muddy in his brain.

Chen Mu secretly blamed himself for reflection.

In fact, if he could be more vigilant, he wouldn't have made such a serious mistake.

This incident taught him an absolutely profound lesson.

He suddenly remembered what Princess Lu Wuyi once said to him in Qingyu County: Chen Mu, you are very smart, but others are not fools.

Yes, the enemy is so stupid, waiting for you to solve the case.

Judging from the current situation, the enemy obviously took the initiative to attack, digging traps for him step by step, so that he took the initiative to jump in without even noticing it.

And the other party knew his temperament clearly.

This is really amazing.

Even if Chen Mu hadn't dealt with the people behind the scenes, the first move made by the other party restricted him to the predicament, which was indeed powerful.

Breaking into the imperial tomb is a serious crime.

Even if it was found not guilty in the end, when it was released, the sacrificial ceremony would have passed.

This is what the people behind the scenes think.

He never thought of planning to kill Chen Mu, because once Chen Mu was killed, it would be a big deal, and the six gates of Charon would be searched.

Only sent to prison to restrict his freedom.

Let Chen Mu not be able to investigate the case!

But in the huge capital, which prison can trap Chen Mu?

Obviously, the death door of Ming Health is not good. There are six doors in a big prison, which is equivalent to your own bedroom. Xichang imprisonment, I visited last time, but I came back.

Therefore, only this Heavenly Signs Prison can truly restrict Chen Mu's freedom.

Moreover, those behind the scenes also clearly knew that the emperor and Chen Mu were at odds, and sent Chen Mu directly to Tianzhao Prison, which was also the emperor's opinion.

With these layers of tactics, Chen Mu can only stay honestly in Tian Zhao prison.

"This scheming is really awesome."

After investigating so many cases and cracking these major cases, Chen Mu admired and valued the only people behind the case.

This is so challenging.

But what puzzled Chen Mu was how he came to the imperial tomb?

When entering that hut, it seemed that some mechanism was stepped on, could it be a portal?

He has never heard anyone say that there is a portal in this world. If there is a time when everyone has already teleported, why bother riding a boat.

"I don't know if Master Heiling can come in."

Chen Mu was a little anxious.

If you have been trapped here and shout with just one mouth, it is impossible for the other party to listen to you. You must find a way to prove your innocence.

And the ritual ceremony is about to begin.

Although he doesn't care about being locked up here, after all, it is his brain to solve the case, but the premise is that someone has to help him pass the message.

"Master Chen..."

Just as Chen Mu was thinking hard, a familiar voice came from outside the cell.

The visitor was a middle-aged man, wearing an official uniform of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

He is of medium height, slightly thinner, with a bit of Confucianism, a thin face with a bit of firmness and ability, and his eyes are piercing.

After seeing Chen Mu, the man showed a gentle smile on his face: "Farewell from Qingyu County, we have met again."

"Mr. Ruan!"

Looking at the man's familiar cheek, Chen Mu burst into surprise.
