The next day, rumors began to circulate in Chang'an City.
Some people say that because the Zheng family offended King Xiaoyao, they were sent by King Xiaoyao to destroy the whole family overnight.
Some people also say that the Zheng family did a lot of injustice, and was discovered by the chivalrous warriors of the rivers and lakes and destroyed the whole family.
And the most said is that there are monsters in the city, which specialize in charming minds and souls, and the Zheng family is targeted by the monsters, so they are all dead.
The first of these theories is mostly circulated among the common people, the second is spread among scholars, and the last one is that of the storyteller.
However, compared with the three rumors, Li Muyun believes that the last one is closer to reality.
"Childe, this thing is weird everywhere, do you want me to inquire" The little girl Mu Yu was transferred back from the printing workshop by Li Muyun last night, and at this time she was accompanying him to listen to the storyteller on the side of the road, and when she heard the key point, she asked in a low voice.
Li Muyun listened with great interest to the storyteller talking about those godly things there, and turned a deaf ear to the little girl's suggestion, as if he didn't hear what she was saying.
Mu Xin stood on the other side of Li Muyun, and seeing that Mu Yu still had the intention of continuing, she hurriedly pulled her and shook her head slightly: "Childe should have thought of something, sister, don't disturb him." ” Mu Xin was very curious about Mu Xin, the maid who suddenly appeared next to Li Muyun, since the day this woman appeared, she was sent to Zhuangzi outside the city to be in charge of the printing workshop, and she has rarely been in contact with her.
"I used to be the maid of Princess Changle, and I was later given to my son by His Royal Highness."
Mu Xin concealed what should be hidden, and replied in a seven-point true and three-point false.
Mu Yu asked again: "Then will you go back?"
Mu Xin said with a pun: "It shouldn't be, it's not much different from following the prince and following His Highness, it's all the same." ” Of course, Mu Yu could understand the meaning, pursed his lips and laughed, and then said, "Then I'll call you sister from now on."
Mu Xin showed a happy smile: "Okay." ” Mu Yu nodded very seriously, called her sister, and then frowned and said, "Sister, you followed Gongzi yesterday, do you know what the situation is in the Zheng family?"
Mu Xin's expression was a little gloomy: "I don't know, Gongzi didn't let me in at all last night, saying that girls shouldn't watch that scene." ” Seeing Mu Xin's expression a little gloomy, Mu Yu persuaded considerately: "Childe has actually always taken care of us, and he doesn't let you in for your own good." ” "I know."
Mu Xin looked at Li Muyun's back in front of him, and seemed to be a little distracted, and said to Mu Yu after a while: "But although I didn't go in yesterday, I inquired about something outside. ” Mu Yu's little girl suddenly came to her spirit when she heard it: "What's going on in which way?"
Mu Xin thought for a while and said: "Things are actually really strange, yesterday I listened to those officials asking the servants of the Zheng family in front of me, and those servants almost said in unison that yesterday evening, the clansmen of the Zheng family also appeared, and even the uncle ordered someone to whip her five times because a maid broke the cup. ” Mu Yu's face changed: "How is this possible, isn't it even Dali Temple that has proven that the people of the Zheng family have died in the afternoon, how can it be that it will appear in the evening?"
Mu Xin frowned, with a trace of fear in his eyes, and his voice trembled a little: "The blame is here, it is said that a trick may go wrong, but yesterday almost all the tricks in Chang'an City went, and everyone agreed that the person died in the afternoon." ” Mu Yu stopped talking, although she was not as scared as Mu Xin, she was a little hairy in her heart.
The ancients were superstitious and were more sure of the things of gods and ghosts, and the little girl was young and immature, so it was difficult to control her emotions after listening to these things chattered by gods and gods.
"I said that you two are endless, are you really planning to summon the monster" Li Muyun suddenly turned his head and said with a serious face: "Mr.
Storyteller just said it, that monster has clairvoyance and ears, and whoever is talking about him can hear it even if it is thousands of miles away." ” Mu Xin and Mu Yu's faces turned white in an instant, and Mu Yu glanced around nervously, and then the two girls looked at Li Muyun laughing and squeezing out of the crowd.
Fooled Mu Yu's little face, which was still a little pale just now, instantly became congested and turned red, and he jumped to his feet and shouted behind him: "Childe, you are teasing people again." ” Mu Xin's face was also full of astonishment, but because he had not been in contact with Li Muyun for a long time, and he was more reserved when he was older, he didn't say anything despite the hatred in his heart.
And Li Muyun didn't show any guilt, but shouted in front of him: "If you two don't come again, maybe the monsters will really come to arrest you." ” Mu Yu's little girl snorted, stomped her foot hard, pulled up Mu Xin beside her, chased after her, and after catching up with Li Muyun, she followed him silently, obviously blocking her breath with a puffing of anger.
Li Muyun walked in front, looking east and west, letting Muyu's little girl sulk there, and when she heard that there was a discussion about last night's events, she stopped and listened for a while, and when she saw that there were jugglers, she also had to come over and call a few hellos, as if the affairs of the Zheng family had nothing to do with him at all.
In the end, the little girl Mu Yu couldn't hold it back, blocked his way and said: "Son, aren't you in a hurry at all that such a big thing happened, almost half of the people in Chang'an City think that you killed the Zheng family, don't you want to clarify?"
Li Muyun flicked on Mu Yu's head: "Clarify what are the notices posted all over the street, and there are still illiterate people, I have one mouth by myself, how can I talk about so many people in Chang'an City." ” "Then investigate the case clearly, find out the person who framed you, and bring him to justice."
Mu Yu seemed to be more anxious than Li Muyun, if she didn't know who the murderer was, it is estimated that she would have arrested someone at this time.
Li Muyun shook his head: "Be calm, the current situation is unclear, and blind action will only be more passive." ” "But" Mu Yu wanted to say something more, but was quickly interrupted by Li Muyun: "Don't do it, let's go, go buy some things, let's go to the palace." ” There were a lot more forbidden troops in the palace than before, and it was obviously somewhat affected by some rumors from the outside.
Li Yuan, who was in the Da'an Palace, was looking at a chess game, and when he saw Li Muyun, he said angrily: "You kid is really a troublemaker, and I don't know why Lao Tzu's brain was pumped in the first place, so he had to accept a guy like you as a righteous son." ” "Hehe, that's your old man's discernment" Li Muyun took a gift box from Mu Xin's hand, put it in the hand of the little eunuch who came up to meet him, and advised: "Take it, if it breaks, be careful of your legs." ” The little eunuch was taken aback, and hurriedly hugged the box tightly in his arms, not daring to relax in the slightest.
Li Yuan snorted: "You kid has done such a big deal outside, this is to sell dirt here in Lao Tzu."
"Dad, this is the tea set I just bought on the side of the road, how can there be so many famous halls."
Li Muyun sat on the chair brought by the eunuch on the side, and continued a little depressedly: "Besides, I didn't do that thing at all, don't button your hat indiscriminately." ” Li Yuan waved his hand at the little eunuch holding the gift box on the side, signaling him to open the gift box, and then turned to Li Muyun and said: "It's not you, who is it, I heard that your kid made a military order, and he didn't go to investigate the case but ran to Lao Tzu, did he want to check Lao Tzu?"
Li Muyun pouted: "There is a thing in this world, called Crazy Man Fruit, which looks similar to a dragon's eye, and it will make people go crazy after eating; There is also a kind of poisonous weed in southern Xinjiang, called opium poppy, which will cause hallucinations and addiction to people when eaten, and it is described as withered after a long time, and if it is broken, it is better to live than to die. ” Li Yuan's face gradually changed, and he stared at Li Muyun for a long time before saying, "You kid is so ruthless." ” Li Muyun sighed and said: "The main thing is that there is no such big hatred, and there is no need for that, if I really want to mess with them, I can make them live extremely painfully, which is much safer than killing them." ” Li Yuan thought for a while and said, "Since you didn't do this, why did you come to me?"
Li Muyun said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just miss you, come and take a look, and ask for a favor by the way." ” Li Yuan didn't speak, as if he was waiting for Li Muyun to finish speaking.
"I'd like to ask you to play with me."
Li Muyun glanced around and said calmly.
Li Yuan seemed to be a little interested in acting, and said when he heard the words: "How to act" Li Muyun came to the side of old Li Yuan, lowered his voice and said, "Pretending to be sick" The day after Li Muyun left the palace, the Emperor Taishang fell ill, full of nonsense, and kept shouting that there were ghosts, but the imperial doctors in the palace could not find any illness in many ways.
The old Taoist priest Yuan Tiangang was also called into the palace, and after doing the ritual for two days, he had little effect.
His Majesty the Emperor was helpless, and issued a list of documents, summoning capable people from all over the world to enter the palace to diagnose the emperor.
For a while, the situation in Chang'an changed suddenly, and the matter of the Zheng family turned into a discussion about the condition of the Emperor Taishang overnight.
Many people think that this matter must be caused by monsters, otherwise in the heavily guarded palace, how could the emperor suddenly scream that there are ghosts like he has fallen into evil And more talented people gathered outside the imperial city, relying on luck, they signed up to say that they could cure the emperor's illness, hoping to become famous all over the world
