Yan Mu glanced at the Taoist priest who was regarded as a master of Taoism by the world, watched him kneel in front of him, and said, "Your Highness is the appearance of an emperor." If someone else had a desire for that position, he should be very content at this moment.

But he didn't.

He supported his chin with his hands, his eyes were filled with a smile, and he was extremely unfair, "Did you drink two taels at noon?"

Hongxuan was stunned, "Sitting in the world, the Supreme Lord, hasn't your highness ever thought of that position?"

"I probably thought about it."

"I am not talented, I am willing to help Your Highness rise."

"But I don't want to do it now."

“…”

Yan Mu sneered and said, "I have lost my memory. I really don't know what happened before. Maybe I have the ambition to be a good person, maybe I just want my wife and children to be warm on the bed, but now I just want to quickly find out the case at hand. There is no way. As the Minister of Justice, I have a heavy responsibility and am so anxious that I am too impatient."

Hongxuan pursed his lips, and his words went around eighteen times. Is he responding to him or not? Is he having the intention or not?

"Oh, by the way, you are the leader of this Taoist temple, so I'll ask you something." Yan Mu said and waved his hand, "Master Taoist, get up quickly, you won't have to give such a big tribute when you meet again in the future."

Hongxuan lowered his eyes and smiled, then sat back to the futon.

"Your Highness, please ask."

Yan Mu silently said, "Gang and the princess accidentally entered the bamboo forest in the backyard. They didn't expect to see the emperor. I didn't dare to disturb me, so I hurriedly retreated. I wonder what he was doing there?"

When Liu Yunxiang heard this, his heart skipped a beat. Naturally, they did not see the emperor. It was obvious that this was from Yan Mu's suspicion. In order to confirm his suspicion, he asked Hongxuan this way.

If Han Zicheng can cover up, he will be the emperor except Shangguan Xu.

Shangguan Xu had no need to hide from Yan Mu, and he led them down to investigate the case, so there was no need to cover up anything.

If it is the Emperor...

Liu Yunxiang exhaled, unconsciously feeling a little nervous.

Hongxuan smiled, "The yard behind the bamboo forest is for lay Buddhists who have a noble status to rest. Today, the Korean master came to offer incense in the name of the emperor. He said it was exhausted, so I asked the Taoist boy to lead him to the yard to rest. Your Highness, your eyes are not very good. The emperor did not come to the Taoist temple today."

Yan Mu narrowed his eyes, "I should have read it right."

"If your highness doesn't believe it, you can quickly rush into the palace and hurry up to see if the emperor is in the palace."

"Did you Taoist priests have any regulations that you cannot lie? If you lie, you will be disrespectful to the gods you believe in?"

"Your Highness, don't you swear?"

"How did you Taoist priests swear?"

Hongxuan stretched out three fingers, smiled and said, "Everything I said just now is true. I swear here. If there is any slander, it will definitely be struck by lightning and will not die well."

After saying that, Hongxuan smiled again, "Have your highness replied this time?"

Yan Mu also laughed, "So you Taoist priests say the same words as ordinary people when they make poisonous oaths."

"I am a little ignorant and have the opportunity to watch the women in the market swear to their husbands, saying that they have no different intentions. That husband is a man who doesn't believe anything, and the woman swears like this."

Who is a dog man?

Yan Mu touched his nose and always felt that the Taoist priest was scolding him.

However, Hongxuan said this, the one who was in the backyard just now should not be the emperor, or believed in his oath, but that he said that he would always have sincerity to follow him.

"The murder case of the two maids of the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion and the disappearance of the six girls in the mansion, have the Taoist priest heard of it?"

"Hear."

"The last place where the Sixth Girl and her maid appeared was your Taoist temple. The Taoist priest might be able to light a bright lamp for my Highness."

Hongxuan silently, looked at Yan Mu and said, "Then I would like to advise Your Highness to stop investigating this case."

“Why?”

“It’s an inning.”

Yan Mu shouted, and from this sentence, he saw Hongxuan's true ability.

"But there is a girl who has two lives and lives unknown, so I have to investigate."

"Can a few lives be compared with His Highness's great cause?"

Yan Mu pulled the corner of his mouth, "I have no great cause, nor have great ambitions, so I have narrow vision and short eyes. I only see these lives at the moment. Since I have taken over, I will definitely find out the truth and have a fairness for those who died tragically. If I can save that Miss Liu, it will be of immeasurable merit."

After hearing this, Hongxuan's eyes dimmed, and then sighed, "What a pity, what a pity."

He raised his hand and bowed again, "I have nothing to tell you."

The words are different, saying more is nonsense.

Yan Mu and Liu Yunxiang were almost driven out by Hongxuan. The Taoist priest said without hesitation: "Please ask the two to donate some money for indulgence and oil. Although I am not talented, I have always been charged for a time when talking to others."

After coming down from Xuanyuantai, Yan Mu couldn't help but curse: "I still talk to others, and he knew that what he said was a lot of nonsense. This old Taoist priest was too cunning and could not get his words after several twists."

Liu Yunxiang smiled: "It's not that there is no gain."

"for example?"

"For example, this case must involve a big secret, and once this secret is found out, it can affect your future."

Yan Mu stopped and said this sentence was last revealed to them by Hongxuan.

"A big secret, I'm a little curious now."

Liu Yunxiang sighed, "But for us, this is even more a big pit."

As soon as the words were finished, the person who dug their pits came.

"Your Highness, Princess, it's a coincidence that I met two of you in this Taoist temple."

Liu Yunxiang turned his head and saw Shangguan Xu coming with a smile on his face. It was obvious that he had directed their eyes to the Taoist temple and he had expected that they would come today.

"For a moment, I thought you were the one hiding in the yard behind the bamboo forest." Yan Mu said straight to the point.

Shangguan Xu pretended to be confused, "What is Your Highness talking about? Why can't I understand?"

"You said I'll stop now and don't check it down. What can you do?"

"This makes me panic. I can't treat you with great skills, but I can't treat you with your highness."

"So, I can't skip this pit."

"Where is a pit?" Yan Mu looked down at his feet, turned around and looked around, and then smiled: "Your Highness is joking. There are no pits on the ground, and no one forces your Highness to jump down. But your Highness's character, I still know a little bit."

"oh?"

"I know there is a tiger in the mountain, right to go to Tiger Mountain, right?" Yan Mu smiled again, "Your Highness has been this kind of character since childhood. The old slave has a headache about this and finally gave up. Your highness is destined to be unable to walk the way you want to take, and your highness dare not agree with the way you want to take. After all, it is a different idea, but it is a pity."

After saying that, Shangguan Xu beat him up and said he wanted to discuss Taoist Hongxuan, so he left by mistake.

"He won't say it, but you want to check it out yourself." Liu Yunxiang said.
