In the morning of the next day, the two had just met Yu Zuoshu when the other party excitedly said: "You two, good news! Master Tai Tuo has woken up!"

"Great." Han Lang breathed a sigh of relief, and after exchanging glances with He Yijiu, they followed Yu Zuoshu and walked quickly to the mansion.All the family members in the mansion stayed outside, and even a group of servants surrounded the house tightly.Yu Zuoshu led them all the way to the bed, the Taifu really woke up, and was leaning weakly on the bed, his face still pale.

The eldest wife, Mrs. He, was on the sidelines, asking for warmth and serving tea and water, and the fourth wife, Mrs. Mei, followed suit, while Mrs. Du was squeezed out.After drinking the medicine, the Taifu listened to Yu Zuoshu's report on the case, and then lay down exhausted.The doctor said that his health has improved and he still needs to recuperate. Generally speaking, he should be fine.

After hearing this sentence, everyone present showed a sigh of relief.Han Lang's heart had been suspended for a few days, but before he could feel relaxed, he and He Yijiu keenly noticed that some people here did not seem to be happy from the bottom of their hearts.

For example, the eldest wife, after finishing the escort work, mysteriously dragged the doctor to talk elsewhere.Seeing this, He Yijiu immediately understood and quietly followed.Han Lang turned around to ask Mrs. Du about the situation. Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked up to her and said hello, the fourth wife said in a strange way: "Oh, I caught a bedbug on the young master a few days ago, why is it crawling to Han now?" My lord is on your back, Master Han, come here and let me pat you?"

Du Shi pretended not to hear, Han Lang twitched his lips and said, "No need."

He accompanied Du Shi to a secluded place, and the other party said happily: "The medicine has worked, and he really woke up."

"Congratulations ma'am," Han Lang said, "it's just that the case has not been resolved yet, and the Taifu has just woken up, so I'm afraid that someone will be impatient to start again."

The smile on Du Shi's face faded, and he sighed: "That's right, there will be a wave of unrest..."

"I will do my best. I don't know who they will target this time, Madam, please be careful."

As soon as the words fell, the yin and yang voice floated over again: "You two are here, Mr. Han, what are you talking about with our beautiful and beautiful sister Du?"

Fourth Aunt walked over with trembling steps, her eyes were full of sarcasm.Han Lang glanced at her, and had no choice but to turn around and leave. Just after walking not far away, he heard scolding voices such as "disobedience to women" and "stealing men" from behind. Han Lang cursed secretly, and hurried to congratulate her [-] rendezvous.

He Yijiu came out from the corridor, covered in plaster, with a dead leaf hanging on his head.It turned out that the eldest lady and the doctor were very vigilant, and he had nowhere to hide, so he could only sneak into the bushes.Seeing his distressed appearance, Han Lang felt distressed and couldn't help laughing. While helping him to wipe the dust off his body, he asked, "How is it?"

"Using the wrong medicine for the old man and delaying his illness was indeed instigated by the eldest wife," He Yijiu said, "The two of them had been whispering for a long time, but it was the eldest wife who accused the doctor of being unfavorable and woke the old man up." coming."

He shook his clothes while talking, kicking up a burst of dust, which made Han Lang choke and sneezed.He rubbed his nose and said with righteous indignation: "This woman has such a vicious heart."

"But it's hard to say that it wasn't her poisoning. You saw it just now. There is no one in this house who wants the old man to die. I see, there are not many good people except that goblin surnamed Du."

Han Lang nodded, looked up at him, and lost his mind for a moment: "Then what should we do now, continue to investigate, continue to wait?"

He Yijiu rubbed his head: "You should ask your immediate boss about this matter. Let's go and discuss it with him."

The conversation was not going well, the Tai Tuo was not in good health after he woke up, the people in the mansion made a fuss, calling the doctor and decocting medicines whenever there was any movement, they were so busy, Yu Zuo Shu also repeatedly stopped the conversation and went to check.Ever since he heard about the collusion between the eldest wife and the doctor, he made up all kinds of excuses to change the doctor, and sent a knowledgeable person to monitor the medicine.Now that the Grand Tutor is safe for the time being, they still don't know what the suspicious people will do next.

Most of the busy day has passed, the weather is already late autumn, the greenery has faded, the sunset has set, and everything is golden.Looking at the busy crowd, Han Lang suddenly said without thinking: "It's been almost a year."

He remembered meeting He Yijiu at the end of last winter.

He Yijiu curled his lips, seeing that no one was paying attention, he stretched out his arms to hug Han Lang: "Time flies so fast."

"It's also very slow," Han Lang replied, "I always feel as if I've known you for many years."

He Yijiu laughed: "It means you cherish the days with me."

Not far away, Mrs. Du was sitting by the flower bed alone, with a book rolled up in her hand, looking at the Taifu's residence for a long time, lost in thought.Mrs. He and Mrs. Mei found all sorts of reasons not to let her in, and the Taifu didn't seem to think of her, and she couldn't go in to see her for a whole day.

Han Lang said in a low voice, "She has a long relationship."

"Yes, but I'm afraid the old man himself may not be."

Thinking of the situation in the mansion, the two sighed together and did not speak again.

The night wind in the evening blew a damp and cold breath, and the lake in the distance was rippling, and the humidity was even stronger.It's raining a lot this year, and it seems like it will rain even at this time.After the sun had completely set, Yu Zuoshu agreed with them to go home and rest.As soon as the two of them walked out of the courtyard gate, Han Lang rolled up his collar, but saw a strange Taoist walking slowly in the distance, passed them by, and knocked on the door of the Grand Tutor's residence.

It wasn't until the doorman ushered him in that Han Lang turned around and caught up with He Yijiu.The other party asked him what was wrong, and he murmured in confusion: "What is the Taifu's residence asking the Taoist priests to do, to do things?"

"It's possible, isn't that what Taoist priests do?"

Tai Tuo's illness has dragged on for so long, so it is normal to invite someone to exorcise the evil spirits.There are enough things to do today, Han Lang just wants to go back and have a good sleep, let his mind go and think about nothing.

All the way back to the residence, Han Lang inadvertently glanced at the letter sent by Shen Minggui, and suddenly said loudly: "Oops!"

"What's the matter?" He Yijiu was fetching water to wash up, but he ran out quickly when he called, and the water spilled all over the floor.

"The Taoist priest is probably going after Mrs. Du!"

Not caring about anything at the moment, the two looked at each other, put on their clothes and ran out.It was already too late when I rushed all the way into the Taifu's mansion, the chaos inside looked like a city that was about to be trampled by thousands of troops, the servants all looked terrified and anxious, and some even wanted to run out, saying that there were monsters inside , If you don't run for your life, you will be gone.There were some fighting sounds in the distance, Han Lang cried out secretly, and rushed in with He Yijiu without touching his feet, but what they were most worried about happened, Du Shi was restrained by the Taoist priest in front of everyone , Her identity cannot be concealed.

The people in the mansion were in a panic, and the servants covered their heads and shivered, wanting to look but not daring to look.The eldest wife and fourth aunt each hid in a safe place, and while screaming, their faces could not hide the excitement of revenge.The sick Tai Tu was also helped out, his expression was extremely complicated, and he didn't dare to look at Du Shi on the ground at all.

The Taoist priests were still talking about these things. Han Lang heard that he was sent by the Daolu Department, and he was following the emperor's will. demon.He didn't listen to the rest of the call at all, and his eyes were fixed on Du Shi who was on the ground.Du Shi could no longer maintain a human body, her skin was gray and brown and wrinkled like an old tree, and there was a lifeless Rhododendron flower pinned to her ear.Her body looked so weak, like a thin piece of rice paper, which would collapse at the touch of a finger.

The Taoist and the Taifu seemed to have an argument. The Taifu didn't want to kill Du Shi, but the Taoist said that the evildoer should not be allowed to do evil.Seeing that the momentum was wrong, the two ladies cried beside them again.At this time Yu Zuoshu appeared on the other side, Han Lang and He Yijiu rushed over immediately, the other party shook his head, expressing that it was irreversible.

"No one would have guessed that there really are demons..." He murmured, "This case can be closed."

"But obviously there are still many doubts!" ​​Han Lang couldn't control the volume for an instant, and roared out, attracting everyone's attention.

Yu Zuoshu hurriedly grabbed him, and said sharply: "Hold down, what's wrong with being suspicious, it's not because you have to look up."

He couldn't have made it clearer that the Taoist priests came here on the orders of the emperor, and unless they produced key evidence, the case would likely be closed.However, they really have no evidence in their hands, only some clues and guesses.

Han Lang was sweating in a hurry, seeing that Yu Zuo Shu couldn't explain it, he pulled He Yijiu aside to think of a way.He Yijiu was calmer than him, stroked his back and said, "Don't think so much, it's hard to say what will happen in the end."

He is used to life and death scenes. Although calmness is an advantage, it also appears ruthless.Han Lang was dissatisfied with his attitude, already anxious and angry in his heart, he almost snapped at someone: "It's easy for you to say!"

He Yijiu put on a straight face, and his voice was terribly low: "Then what do you want to do, rush out and do your best now?!"

"But no one can save her now!"

The two pushed and argued, Han Lang was still full of anger and had nowhere to vent, but when he saw He Yijiu's expression, the anger and grievance in his heart were suppressed by seeing him.He was silent, and after a long time, he murmured like a gnat: "I didn't mean that, I..."

"You don't want to die, I know."

He stared firmly into the other person's eyes, wrapped his body around him, and felt that the other person's body was still rising and falling in rapid breathing: "It is true that only we can save her, but it is definitely not now, do you understand?"

Han Langcai gradually came back to his senses under the gaze of those blue eyes, his cheeks were a little hot, and he quickly turned his face away and gave a muffled hum.

However, the situation was not optimistic. After the Taifu interceded, Du Shi temporarily saved her life, but the Taoist priest destroyed her hundred-year cultivation, dug out her original body, and sealed her in a wooden box.There were a lot of people in the Taifu's mansion, and the news spread quickly. The streets and alleys of the capital were talking about the monster's chaos. It is also this monster that is causing trouble, so please order to get rid of the monster.

Han Lang squatted sullenly in the small courtyard of Dali Temple. Officials came and went in front of him, and he had no time to talk to anyone.He Yijiu fulfilled his promise and would accompany him no matter where he went. Now he leaned on the wooden railing and looked inside, trying to persuade Han Lang from time to time to let him relax, there must be a way.

I don't know if it's the intimacy of being a foreigner, but Han Lang is very concerned about Du Shi's affairs.He Yijiu didn't know what was going on, and he had been muttering in his heart for the past few days. He was not afraid that Han Lang would take a fancy to that girl, and felt that Han Lang had once again committed the problem of meddling in other people's affairs.It doesn't matter if you care about it once in a while, but it's really crazy to care about it to the point where you want to go against the court.

So he agreed with Han Lang that it was okay to save the female monster, but as long as they did their best, if the situation was irreversible, they would be doing their best.

After a while, Yu Zuo Shu came out of the room in a hurry, and Han Lang and He Yijiu immediately got up and followed his footsteps. "I really don't understand why your lord Tai Tuo is as obsessed with saving that witch." On the way, Yu Zuo Shu rubbed his temples and sighed exhaustedly.He has been so busy with things these past few days that he has been robbed of his credit by the Dao Lu Department.I heard that King Xian's people are making a big fuss about the Taifu's cover-up behavior. If the Holy Majesty starts to doubt the Taifu, the court will definitely become more turbulent.

King Zhao's power is getting worse and worse, the Holy One is still vacillating between the two factions, and the frontier is in jeopardy.Zhao Wang has not made an appointment to meet Han Lang recently, which shows that he is also very busy.Yu Zuoshu said that the demon girl should have been removed long ago, but for some reason the Master Tai Tuo hesitated to make a decision, saying that he was suffering from illness and was inconvenient to come forward.

"It's really obsessed with ghosts, and I can't tell the difference between good and bad."

Han Lang and He Yijiu looked at each other, without saying a word, they both sighed.The sedan chair quickly stopped in front of the Taifu's mansion, and as soon as they entered, they heard the fourth concubine, Mrs. Mei, pulling her son's hair in the main hall, pointing the finger at Mrs. Du.It is rare for the eldest wife to agree with her. While listing out the horrors of Du Shi, she begged the Taifu to order to eliminate the demon.

However, the Tai Tuo remained silent for a long time, leaning on the chair supported by the servant girl, leaning on a rattan cane in his hand, with a gloomy expression.Yu Zuoshu also joined the ranks of persuasion. Han Lang wanted to speak a few times, but he forced him back with his eyes.Taking a break in the middle, Yu Zuoshu pulled him aside, and instructed: "Don't interrupt, the overall situation of this matter is settled."

After finishing speaking, he muttered to himself, "The benevolence of a woman."

After some rhetoric, Taifu seemed a little shaken.He is not young, his official career is going well, and his family is happy. It is indeed not the time to take risks.Perhaps he does have deep affection for Mrs. Du, but he has worked so hard in the officialdom for so many years, and he knows the way of life by abandoning his car to protect his handsome man.

It seems that it is only a matter of time for him to let go.

The discussion lasted until the afternoon, the moment the Taifu agreed, Han Lang dragged He Yijiu out of the room.The autumn wind is getting colder every day, and the clouds in the sky are reflected in the small lake. The sun is pleasant, but there is not much warmth.

"It's irretrievable." He Yijiu said in a dull tone, trying to comfort Han Lang, but felt that it was useless.Du Shi's death also made him sad, which reminded him of what happened when he was young, and his mother who died tragically.He stretched out a hand to embrace Han Lang, moved his lips slightly against his profile, "I'm afraid this is also her choice."

Han Lang didn't sleep well for a few days, his eyes were bloodshot: "Why, they clearly treat each other sincerely, but this kind of ending..."

"Fate makes people," He Yijiu sighed. He didn't know what kind of mood he was in when he said the following sentence. No matter how close they are, the gully between them is wider than the river."

Han Lang stopped talking, bit his lip and shook his head, as if to express that he was relieved, or as if he had made a secret decision not to tell others.
