Live broadcast: The female heavenly master slays demons and protects the Tao in the power plot

In fact, Wei Chenfeng's description is still too conservative.

The backyard of Cheng'en Palace collapsed completely. The nearly three-meter-high wall had a large gap, and rubble was everywhere, and the onlookers trampled it into powder.

Most of the servants, headed by the housekeeper and his son, were locked away.

The remaining old and weak soldiers are unable to maintain the normal operation of the entire Zhao family.

When the family was at its most chaotic, it was said that a masked meddler sneaked into the house where old Duke Cheng'en was recuperating, and bumped into the imperial doctor sent by the palace.

The unlucky imperial doctor was hit by him and fell hard on his butt. At this time, he had already asked for leave and went home to concentrate on raising his waist.

News one after another exploded in the market.

As soon as the skeleton covered with white cloth was brought out, the people followed and looked at it, talking about it.

Some people say that the deceased was a civilian girl who was kidnapped by Duke Chengen.

Some people say that she was a concubine who jumped into a well after being abused.

Some people say that she is a maid who was made pregnant by her servant...

The rumors intensified.

No one cares about the truth.

When Du Manzhi heard these nonsense, it was already noon the next day.

Seeing that she looked bad, Danzhu, who happened to be on vacation, comforted her and said:

"She has been dead for so long, maybe she has been reincarnated and has a good place to go. No matter how bad the rumors are nowadays, who knows who she really is?"

Du Manzhi sighed: "I know the truth, I just feel pity for her, it's a pity..."

Danzhu said: "Life is unpredictable. Everyone knows that the world is not good. Even if you are as noble as a princess from the Tian family, you will encounter the grievance of breaking your teeth and swallowing, let alone a folk woman."

Du Manzhi said nothing.

Danzhu was nibbling pine nuts as if nothing had happened.

"Being alive doesn't necessarily mean good things will happen, and dying doesn't necessarily mean being pitiful. People coming and going on the street are just onlookers, and they'll pass by just looking at them. How could she know that you're sad for her?"

Du Manzhi thanked Danzhu for comforting her and asked about what happened last night.

Danzhu grabbed another handful of pine nuts with a relaxed expression and didn't take it seriously at all: "It's nothing, it's just that an assassin touched Qiantose's yard."

Du Manzhi looked at her calm look. To the people in Xichang, this kind of thing seemed too normal.

"He's not hurt, is he?"

She just asked casually and didn't think the answer was yes.

Sure enough, Danzhu shook his head.

"Of course not. No one dared to approach Chitose while he was bathing. Everyone was resting in the yard. The assassin bumped in at that time and was stunned on the spot."

Du Manzhi imagined the scene in his mind, with a sense of humor as if Erha had wandered into a pack of wolves.

Before she could ask further questions, Danzhu, who was good at observing faces, continued:

"He was taken away without even seeing a piece of Chitose's clothes. At this moment, he is being interrogated."

"Actually, there's nothing to judge. It's probably about the rising water in the Yellow River."

Danzhu stopped knocking pine nuts, and there was cold hatred in his eyes:

"That rotten surnamed Jiang took the disaster relief money, but the people behind him wanted to drag Master Qiantui down. There are also rumors among the people that we instigated him to do it... It's simply ridiculous."

Du Manzhi was slightly startled: "Is his reputation this bad? Do people really believe this?"

In the imperial prison, she heard Liu Yi, the imperial doctor, say that the female prisoners who fell ill were the family members of an official named Jiang from the Ministry of Works.

My mother-in-law risked her life and returned to Beijing to beat the drum and sue the officials, but she only sued the local governor.

An official named Jiang served in the Ministry of Industry, and he was originally responsible for building the river embankment. Now the river is overflowing, the dams are destroyed, and the farmland on both sides of the river is submerged by the river, with no harvest.

If we investigate, he will be the first to be imprisoned!

However, whoever has a discerning eye would not know that he is just a scapegoat.

There are still many refugees lingering around Kyoto, and they are barely surviving by relying on the porridge shops of powerful and wealthy businessmen to provide porridge twice a day.

Most of these people had fled from floods.

They lost food, homes, money, and even relatives.

They didn't dare to hate the entire court. They could only hate the person who had embezzled the money for the project. They blamed him for substituting inferior quality, which made the river embankment so fragile that it broke down as soon as it was flushed.

The official surnamed Jiang was only imprisoned for investigation. So far, there has been no more disastrous result, which has already made the refugees dissatisfied.

If someone incites someone at this time, saying that the person behind the official named Jiang is Xichang Jiu QianSui, and the reason why he has not been dealt with for so long is because Jiu QianSui is protecting him...

The anger of the people can be imagined.

Du Manzhi frowned: "Whoever commits the crime will be responsible. Innocent people should not be scolded on their behalf."

Danzhu: "Oh, who says it's not true? But Qiantose said there was no need to explain, and he only quietly dealt with a few villains who were paid to incite the refugees. There have been more and more assassinations recently, and he was not in a hurry. "

Du Manzhi thought of the triggering conditions for the East Palace Gu Insect, and came up with an inexplicable guess.

Could it be that Wei Chenfeng did it on purpose?

He deliberately allowed more and more assassins to come out. When did he suddenly pretend to be injured and lure the snake out of its hole?

But she still felt that it was not appropriate to do so.

Danzhu answered naturally: "We also feel bad, but people speak softly and don't listen to what we say. If you had said the same thing, the result might be different."

Du Manzhi felt uncomfortable.

"I also have one nose and two eyes. What's the difference... Hey, there's a shop opened by a friend of mine in front of me. I happened to come over here. Let me treat you to something to eat."

Not long after Ding Cuiyun reconciled with Niu Dali, he opened a snack shop here. With his good cooking skills, he became the self-reliant shopkeeper Ding.

She came here to eat the river shrimp ravioli made by Ding Cuiyun, which was so delicious that it made her eyebrows fall off!

Danzhu also remembers Ding Cuiyun.

A weak woman who had no one in her family and lost her son could actually be cruel enough to kick her foolish and filial husband, and live her life more and more beautifully!

Danzhu, who was unmarried, couldn't help but be impressed.

There is also the bowl of golden-colored, sweet and delicious little wontons that Du Manzhi described...

Danzhu was so excited by what she said that she quickly looked for the sign of the store.

"Huh? It doesn't seem to be open today... It seems I can only try it another day." Danzhu said with some disappointment.

Du Manzhi suddenly felt something was wrong.

She understands Ding Cuiyun's desperate nature very well.

Unless you are too sick to get up, it is impossible to close the door.

Ding Cuiyun's health is not bad. When she lived with her in the back street of Yishitang, she was nourished by spiritual energy, and many of her minor ailments disappeared. It is impossible for her to suddenly become seriously ill.

The door of the store was closed at the moment, and a wooden sign saying it was out of business was hastily hung up. Regular customers would come over from time to time, and after seeing the contents of the wooden sign, they left with regret.

Du Manzhi believed in her intuition. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something had happened to Ding Cuiyun.

Walking around to the side window sill, she stretched out her hand and found that the window was unlocked!

What's more wrong, Ding Cuiyun is thoughtful and will definitely lock the doors and windows before leaving, unless...she didn't close the door herself!

Danzhu slapped the front of his nose in confusion: "It's strange, how can the fragrance of peach blossoms come from this season..."

Du Manzhi's eyes showed a chill.

The fragrance of peach blossoms.

Gu Master, is this your challenge?
