Recently, the atmosphere in the Imperial City had become strange, especially in the residential areas of the outer city. There were fewer pedestrians on the road. Most of them stayed at home and closed the doors and windows tightly.
The pedestrians on the street were also in a hurry, looking left and right, afraid that a man-eating demon would rush out.
The outer city had become desolate and was no longer as lively and prosperous as before.
Because they already knew that demons had appeared in the Imperial City!
The news of skinned and heartless corpses spread throughout the area.
It was said that many people had witnessed demons with their own eyes!
The demon had two strange eyes, a sharp chin, a mouth full of sharp teeth, and a purple-black body. It had a pair of sharp claws that could dig out a person's heart with a scratch. It was terrifying.
Someone witnessed a first-rate expert's heart being eaten by a demon!
In addition to the legends of demons they had heard in the past, these demons were deified to the point of being invincible. Ordinary people would definitely die if they encountered them, and martial artists with poor martial arts would also die if they went. Just listening to them was terrifying.
As a result, the streets and alleys were filled with rumors of demons and devils, and the people in the Imperial City were in a state of panic, appearing desolate.
"Third Brother Wang, where are you going?"
"Shh, I'll go hide in the inner city."
"Don't, you're the only one in this area who's accomplished in martial arts. What are we going to do if you go?”
"Sigh, I'm not a match for yaomo either.”
"Don't say anymore. I'll be back in a few days.”
"Third brother, third brother!"
"Don't be third brother, pray for yourself.”
......
In the Third Prince's residence.
The Third Prince's followers told Su Hu about the demons in the Imperial City.
"The demons of the Imperial City. Interesting." Su Hu pursed his lips." How did this happen?”
Su Hu was very interested in the demon case in the Imperial City.
It had been many years since the establishment of the Great Xia Dynasty that they had heard of demons in the Imperial City.
Putting aside whether there was a problem with the four defense lines, just the fact that the demons could enter the Imperial City was enough to pull out a bunch of people!
After all, it was already a sensational matter for the demons to enter under the eyes of the four great guardians and the Imperial City guards, who were filled with killing intent and surging blood essence!
The case of the demons in the Imperial City had a huge implication.
"It is said that this matter was first taken over by the guards of the Imperial City. Later, under the instructions of the Ninth Prince, this matter was handed over to the southern part of the Punishment Division.”
"Under the investigation of Zhang Mozhi from the southern part of the Criminal Division, the demon case that has shocked the Imperial City has been created.”
"The Ninth Prince has left the palace because of this matter.”
His subordinate said.
"What about Imperial Father? What's going on in the God Shocking Palace?"
"When His Majesty heard the news, he was furious and ordered his subordinates to clarify the cause and effect. If they couldn't, he would personally clean up the entire court!”
The man shivered as he spoke.
It had been many years since Su Qingtian had displayed the Dragon's Fury to the public. Many people might have forgotten how this Emperor had slaughtered his way through the entire palace without daring to say a word!
However, he remembered that after experiencing that bloody era!
If Su Qingtian were to personally clean up the Imperial Court, he could not imagine the consequences! At that time, the imperial city would probably be dyed red with blood again, and the entire Great Xia would be slaughtered into the cold winter!
The legendary Emperor Su Qingtian's fame was definitely not spread around!
Hearing this, Su Hu paced back and forth for a while." Father's reaction is so big?"”
"It seems that the case of the demons in the Imperial City is not as simple as I thought.”
The subordinate said," Your Highness."
"The appearance of demons in the Imperial City is definitely related to some traitors. His Highness can take this opportunity to clean up a group of rebels in the court and send them into the demon case to deal with them together with the rebels, reducing their power.
If His Highness could solve this demon case that caused panic in the Imperial City, he would definitely win the hearts of the people in the Imperial City. His Highness would also be added to the Emperor's list.”
The rebels this person spoke of were not traitors, but the hostile forces that were preventing the Third Prince from ascending to the throne! The First Prince's faction, the Fifth Prince's faction, and the Ninth Prince's faction were all included in this person's rebel faction.
"Yes."
Su Hu nodded and thought for a long time." Go and get the case file of the Southern Division Demon Case."”
One of them ran faster.
Su Hu continued," The biggest clue in the case of the demons in the Imperial City is the demons.”
"Whoever can catch the demon will have the upper hand in this case.”
Su Hu looked outside the room." I want to solve this case. Eldest Brother wants to solve it, Fifth Brother wants to solve it, and there are many other high officials who want to solve it to please Father and gain a reputation among the people of the Imperial City.”
"I have a lot of opponents, so I can't be slow.”
Everyone quickly showed their loyalty and said enthusiastically," I'm willing to serve Your Highness! I'll go through fire and water!"
Su Hu arranged," Han Wuyu, you're new here and are good at investigating. I'll leave the investigation to you. Do well. I value you very much."”
"Don't worry, Your Highness!"
"Su Yuanhong, your cultivation base is high. You are responsible for protecting Han Wuyu and preventing him from being hurt by demons or other enemies.”
"I'll leave the matters outside the palace to the two of you.”
"Understood!"
Su Hu murmured again," Next is the problem in the palace.”
"Lan Ku, you are in charge of paying attention to the movements of the demon case in the palace. Who is investigating the demon case, who is asking about the demon case, write it all down for me.”
"Yes."
"Wu Jue, you're in charge!"
......
A carriage drove into the alley.
Zhang Mozhi had been waiting for a long time.
In the carriage, Hong Xiu stuck her head out and looked around before welcoming Su Yuan down.
"This subject Zhang Mozhi greets Your Highness."
"No need."
"Your Highness, please follow me."
Zhang Mozhi brought Su Yuan to a nearby civilian house. Zhang Mozhi expected that the Imperial City case would be too complicated and the situation would become difficult. He had already taken a few civilian houses in case they were used.
When they arrived at the civilian house, Su Yuan asked directly,"Where are the demons?"”
