Before becoming a cat demon

Lin Qian had never seen his son like this before, so he was quite surprised.

Although Lin Zhixian was born handsome and handsome, he didn't lose his masculinity in the slightest. He fought with his father on the battlefield since he was a child, and he also had a reputation for fighting.

Seeing his embarrassment now, even the roots of his ears turned red.

He was originally asked to disguise himself as a woman to seduce the thief, but now it seems that he is the one who was seduced?

Thinking of this, Lin Qian tentatively said: "Since Xian'er has seen the appearance of the thief, I can't help but draw it, so that the government can use the portrait to arrest him."

"Yes, Zhixian, you can draw his appearance." Ning Huiyu came back to his senses and hurriedly agreed.

But Lin Zhixian stood up all of a sudden, and said anxiously: "No! You can't take him!"

As soon as he said this, both Lin Qian and Ning Huiyu looked at him.No matter how dull Ning Huiyu was, he could sense something was wrong: I just took a criminal, why are you so excited?

Ning Huiyu frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Zhixian, this thief has killed many innocent women, you must not protect him."

Lin Zhixian also found himself agitated, and calmed down a little before saying, "I didn't. The one I saw last night was not a flower picker."

As he spoke, he took out a jade pendant from his pocket and put it on the desk. It was a ring-shaped jade pendant with exquisite patterns carved on it, which was obviously for women to wear.

"You said that every time the flower picker killed a woman, he would take her personal belongings, but that man did not take Miss Tang's personal belongings last night." When he said the last sentence, his voice paused slightly. There was a pause, but because the time was too short, no one noticed anything abnormal.

Ning Huiyu took the jade pendant and looked at it repeatedly, then withdrew his hand and said, "Maybe it's because he didn't get it."

Shen Tingzhi listened to the following conversation. When he came, the conversation was already halfway through, so he only heard the part where Lin Zhixian defended him.

Presumably, Ning Huiyu must have received some news that the flower picker's target last night was Tang Simin, and he happened to be going to steal Tang Simin's jade pendant. As a result, once he was caught, it would be difficult to get rid of his ties.

Shen Tingzhi frowned. Seeing that it was getting late, he was about to leave, but he heard someone rushing to the door, and the emperor summoned Lin Qian for something urgent.

Shen Tingzhi paused when he stood up, and then heard the conversation between Lin Qian and Lin Zhixian.

"The emperor summoned father so late, is there something urgent?"

"The gang of old men from the Ministry of Rites have been making a lot of noise these past few days. You should investigate this matter as soon as possible, otherwise I think the emperor will soon lose his patience."

Watching Lin Qian go away, Shen Ting knew that he had just left the palace.It was already late at this time, Shen Tingzhi felt a little hungry after rubbing his stomach.

There is a nice restaurant on West Street, which Zhuang Xuying likes to go to on weekdays.

I don't know if the restaurant is closed, Shen Tingzhi came out from Zhennan Prince's Mansion, and was about to take a look there, but before he took a few steps, a black shadow bumped into him.

It was already late at this time, Shen Tingzhi didn't even see the other party's appearance clearly, but just dodged to the side reflexively.The man had no support, and was about to fall straight to the ground. Shen Tingzhi hurriedly reached out to support him, but he heard her exclaim: "It's you!"

Shen Tingzhi looked around, only to realize that he was an acquaintance. He put his arms around his chest and said with a playful smile, "Miss Zhong."

"My lord, please help me!" Zhong Chun glanced behind him quickly, his eyes flustered.

She held Shen Tingzhi's wrist tightly, like a drowning person grabbing the last piece of driftwood. She looked at Shen Tingzhi and begged forcefully, "Please help me get rid of the person behind me, sir, please."

Shen Tingzhi glanced behind her, muttered "trouble" in a low voice, but unambiguously wrapped his arms around Zhong Chun's waist, and jumped a few meters away with a little force on his feet. Disappearing at the corner of the street, at this moment, a group of people hurried past where they were just now.

Shen Tingzhi glanced at the direction they were going away, and led Zhong Chun to quickly go in the opposite direction.

Zhuang Xuying didn't know martial arts, but his father passed on the profound inner strength to protect his body, so even if he took a person with him, he didn't feel any difficulty at all.

He originally planned to open a room for Zhong Chun in the inn, but she refused.

Zhong Chun insisted on going out of the city directly, but Shen Ting knew that he had no choice but to escort her all the way to the gate of the city.

"My lord—won't you ask me why I was hunted down?" At the end, Zhong Chun couldn't help but speak first.

Shen Tingzhi didn't want to inquire about her personal affairs at first, but when she saw that she took the initiative to ask, he had no choice but to act as if he didn't care: "Don't test me, I don't know anything."

Seeing this, Zhong Chun smiled lightly and said, "My lord, how can you not see that the team just now are soldiers from Shang Shu's mansion."

Shen Tingzhi wrinkled his nose, and said in disgust: "What are you doing, young master?"

"Thank you for your thoughtfulness, son." Zhong Chun gave Shen Tingzhi a little blessing, causing the latter to turn his head uncomfortably: "Although I was not happy when I met you last time, my little girl knows that you are not a villainous person."

"That's natural." Shen Tingzhi raised his chin triumphantly, as if he looked arrogant.

Zhong Chun looked back and saw that the gate of the city would be closed after a while. She hesitated again and again and told Shen Ting: "Although it may annoy you, the young lady still wants to remind you. It may not be a coincidence that the little girl met with misfortune during the treasure hunt in my house, the incident of the flower pickers has caused a lot of uproar recently, the young master may have caused suspicion, even if it is a close person, the young master should be on guard."

Seeing that Shen Tingzhi's eyes were obviously extremely surprised, but she tried her best to hide her appearance of pretending not to care, she was a little amused: "Why? Master, you really mind that the little girl Qing Yu was destroyed?"

Shen Tingzhi was of course very surprised. You must know that even in the modern age with an extremely open mind, it is difficult for a raped woman to come out of the shadows so quickly, but the girl in front of her doesn't seem to care at all.

But if you think about it carefully, it should be like this, shouldn't it?Why should the victim live in grief and shadow all his life for the mistakes made by others?

Seeing that there was a bit of teasing in her eyes, clearly provocative, Shen Tingzhi pouted his neck and said "hum hum", and said displeasedly: "Is this kind of person, young master? Isn't it just bitten, you wait , when the young master finds the black hand, he will beat him until he cries for his father and mother."

Seeing this, Zhong Chun pursed the corners of his mouth, his eyebrows and eyes curved.She seemed to have thought of something, and sighed in a low voice: "If my parents are as enlightened as you are..."

She took a deep breath, raised her head again, and looked at Shen Tingzhi: "Then, let's say goodbye today, young master."

"Wait...wait a minute."

Zhong Chun turned around, but saw Shen Tingzhi stuffed a bunch of banknotes into her hand very quickly, and took out a few bottles from his sleeve, and he didn't look at her no matter what, with an extremely awkward expression.

"Be careful yourself!" He finished speaking very quickly and turned his head away.

Zhong Chun looked at the things in his hands, they were all holy medicines for healing.

"Young master..." Zhong Chun shouted two words dryly, but was interrupted by Shen Tingzhi.

"Oh, your mother-in-law, stop talking so much nonsense if you want to go, the young master has to go back to sleep!"

After he finished speaking, he stopped looking at her and walked straight to the city gate.But Zhong Chun turned his head and glanced at the city gate that was about to close, then turned and disappeared into the night.

The rumors did not subside gradually with the passage of time, but intensified.Although no one has been killed for several days in a row, the people's discussion on this matter seems to have risen to an unprecedented height, and the direction has even changed slightly.

Some past events began to be repeatedly mentioned in private, which actually involved the current imperial concubine.

However, all of this is not Shen Tingzhi's concern, because he is currently in the most dangerous and noble place in the world - the imperial palace.

Gently closing the door of the palace, Shen Tingzhi watched the situation outside through the crack of the door. The commander of the imperial army was leading his men to come from the other side of the palace in neat steps. A eunuch walked quickly with a lantern, obviously a row of martial law guards scene.

For the bet with Qi Luan, Shen Tingzhi is willing to accept the punishment.The two did not explain the bet in advance, so when Qi Luan asked Shen Tingzhi to go to the palace to steal the seal, Shen Tingzhi was very surprised.But even so, since he was willing to gamble and admit defeat, he had no choice but to fulfill his promise.

With the light coming in from outside, Shen Tingzhi quickly scanned the palace.

I saw a lot of bookcases displayed in the imperial study room, all of which were full of book files.

Shen Tingzhi gave up the idea of ​​exploring after only a quick glance, and his eyes moved to the huge wall behind the book case.Shen Tingzhi leaned over and knocked on the wall, it was solid, it didn't look like there was a hole in the sky.

There are several sets of calligraphy, calligraphy and painting hanging on the wall. Shen Tingzhi did not study these, but found some secrets in the scrolls of calligraphy and painting.

Shen Tingzhi didn't have much interest in these royal secret rooms, and was about to return the things to their original places, but accidentally knocked over a painting.

This sound quickly attracted the attention of outsiders, only to hear a forbidden soldier shouting "here" in a high spirited manner, followed by the footsteps of a large group of people walking towards this side.

Shen Tingzhi didn't care about these anymore, he jumped up to the beam and waited for a while, taking advantage of the moment the door was opened, he flew out directly.

His figure is like a sword that leaves the string, leaving only an afterimage at the moment of sweeping away.Seeing this, Liang Junyue, the commander of the forbidden army, hurriedly chased him out without hesitation. He was good at lightness kung fu, but he was not thrown off.

The thief seemed to be still young, but he didn't expect the lightness kung fu to be good, but it was a pity that it was not used in the right way.

Liang Junyue thought secretly, he followed the person in front closely, the night was dark, but it didn't affect his eyesight.So Liang Junyue soon discovered a problem——

Where is this person running away?He was clearly leading him around in circles!

Watching him fly over the palace, and then go around the imperial garden, picking places he has never been to, but he just doesn't run outside the palace.Liang Junyue suddenly felt a suffocating feeling of being teased, and he dared to guarantee that this person's lightness kung fu was far more than that.
