Chapter 167: Court Structure! Demons Attack!

About a few decades ago, a strange change unfolded silently, and then the style of this world became strange.

Now there are flying and hiding warriors everywhere.

It is difficult to judge the level of the martial arts value of this world, but the legend of the top strong men breaking the void with martial arts has been heard all the time.

It is not uncommon for demons to transform into human forms and mingle among the people in the market.

As long as they are found, they will be arrested by the God Constable Department and taken to the sky prison, tortured until their souls and bodies are destroyed. Chu Yang once encountered a scene where the God Constable Department arrested demons, which affected a wide range of people, and there were no less than ten civilians killed or injured.

The God Constable Department appeared here, led by Zhuge Zhengwo, and there are four famous constables under his command.

Although Chu Yang has been pretending to be a dandy for these years and dared not ask about the outside world for fear that the emperor would be suspicious, he is in the capital after all, and he knows a little about the things in the court.

In the current court structure of the Ming Dynasty, apart from the increasingly weak civil service group, there are six top forces that truly hold the power of life and death.

Two marquises and one family.

Two factories and one guard.

Among them, the two factories and one guard are easy to understand. They are old acquaintances in the history of the Ming Dynasty, namely the East Factory and the West Factory, and the Jinyiwei.

Cao Zhengchun, the supervisor of the East Factory, Yu Huatian, the supervisor of the West Factory, and Zheng Dongliu, the commander of the Jinyiwei.

The Jinyiwei is responsible for inspecting all officials, the East Factory is responsible for inspecting the Jinyiwei, and the West Factory is responsible for inspecting the East Factory, which is a typical nesting doll behavior in the Ming Dynasty government system.

The three-party check and balance is a situation deliberately created by the current emperor. He just likes to watch the people below fight each other, which is a kind of bad taste, and he usually likes to pretend to be a grandson more than Chu Yang.

Facing such a scheming emperor, Chu Yang is lucky to have good acting skills, otherwise he would have been on the other party's blacklist long ago.

Compared with the internal responsibilities of the two factories and one guard, the two marquises and one family are more external.

The two marquises refer to the Zhuge God Marquis Zhuge Zhengwo mentioned earlier, and the Tiedan God Marquis Zhu Wusi, who comes from the old Zhu family.

One is the Shenbu Division, and the other is the Hulong Villa. The Shenbu Division is responsible for capturing demons hiding in the world, while the Hulong Villa is responsible for finding out relevant information, which belongs to the intelligence agency.

Not only is there no conflict between the two, but they complement each other.

But the problem is that Zhuge Shen Marquis and Tiedan Shen Marquis do not get along, and they can even be said to be political enemies who are fighting to the death.

The real conflict of duties with the Shenbu Division is the Six Gates of the Two Marquises and One Gate.

Most of the time, the Shenbu Division is responsible for eradicating demons, while the Six Gates are responsible for arresting criminals. You must know that after the great changes in the world, the most heinous criminals in the rivers and lakes have become more and more fierce.

It's like those super criminals in the movie need superheroes to successfully capture them.

The Six Gates were the "Avengers" of the Ming Dynasty, and were very popular among the people. Guo Juxia, the chief detective, was even more of a star among the stars. In comparison, the Divine Detective Department was much more low-key.

People are all human, and over time, the Divine Detective Department would also envy the treatment of the Six Gates, so from time to time they would cross the line and intervene in the work of the Six Gates, under the pretext of helping their colleagues.

The conflict between the two sides began, and the four famous detectives of the Divine Detective Department and the four divine detectives of the Six Gates were often compared by those who were curious.

Although the people below were very fierce, Zhuge Shenhou and Guo Juxia never got angry in the court, but got along well, because they both knew that it was the emperor who was stirring up trouble in secret.

In short, the structure of two marquises and one gate and two factories and one guard was similar, and the main point was that a triangle had stability. Chu Yang felt that if his brother had not become an emperor, he would definitely be an outstanding mathematician.

I don't know if it's because of the deliberate blockade, the capital is very closed to the outside world. Demons are rampant outside, but there is singing and dancing there, and the civil and military officials are immersed in the gentle countryside all day long.

If it weren't for this unexpected trip to the rivers and lakes, Chu Yang would probably not know what the situation outside is until he died.

After thinking about it for a while, Chu Yang turned around and found that Guo Furong was already asleep, with tears on her face, as if she was tired of crying.

He was not worried about safety issues. There were no bad people in Tongfu Inn. With the courage of those people, they would not do anything to rob the black.

It should be fine when the government comes tomorrow morning.

After running around for a day and tossing for half a night, Chu Yang couldn't hold on any longer. His eyelids were fighting, and he fell asleep with his head tilted.

In the lobby, Tong Xiangyu and others were discussing the matter of reporting to the police tomorrow. Suddenly, a hurried knock on the door sounded, which scared them.

"Zhan Tang, go open the door..."

Tong Xiangyu silently retreated behind everyone.

"It's me again!"

Bai Zhantang was frowning. He had been scared by the "male and female evil spirits" just now. Who knows what it will be this time?

No matter how much he complained, he knew that he was the most skilled martial artist here. If there was any danger, others would be sent to the gate!

Bai Zhantang trembled as he approached the gate. The past two years have not been peaceful. In addition to the scum like the "male and female evil spirits", there are also demons that are causing trouble for the world.

With a creak.

The door of the inn opened, and a black-robed policeman stood outside the door. He looked like a monkey with thief eyes.

"Old Xing, why are you back again? You scared us!"

Bai Zhantang excitedly pulled Xing Yusen in from outside the door.

"Old Xing, aren't you going back to the government office?"

Tong Xiangyu felt that something was wrong with Old Xing. Because he was afraid of the male and female evil spirits, he didn't stay no matter how he begged him to stay, but now he ran back in disgrace.

"I'm sorry, Lao Bai, and shopkeeper Tong." Lao Xing was sweating with cold sweat on his forehead, clasping his hands together and praying: "Let me stay at Tongfu Inn tonight!"

"Old Xing, you are really interesting. You can't live in a nice home, but come here to stay in an inn?" Li Dazui joked with a silly smile: "Staying here to pursue novelty?"

Lao Xing immediately waved his hand, "That's not what I meant."

Lu Xiucai reminded in a low voice: "As a civil servant, it is not easy to make messes. Corruption always starts from small things..."

Lao Xing was trembling with anxiety and said angrily: "What are you talking about? Can you shut your mouth!"

Tong Xiangyu couldn't help but shouted: "Old Xing, can't you just tell everyone what is going on?"

Lao Xing gritted his teeth and said: "On the way back just now, I always felt like something was following me. I didn't dare to go back alone, so I wanted to come to your place to avoid it..."

"Avoid it?" Tong Xiangyu was shocked and yelled, "Well, Xing Yusen, aren't you harming others? What if you really bring dirty things here?"

"Xiao Bei is still here, she is a child!"

Lao Xing's face changed several times, turning red and green. Finally, he shook his head and sighed: "Then... I'd better go."

Seeing his appearance, Tong Xiangyu couldn't bear it after all, "Forget it, let's all squeeze in the lobby together later. We are very angry when there are many people, and we are not afraid of dirty things."

Lao Xing was happy.

The next second, Bai Zhantang seemed to have thought of something, and shouted in fright: "Oh no, there are two people in the backyard!"

Chu Yang, who was sleeping in a daze, always felt like someone was licking his face. The moist feeling was very real and reminded him of the top girl Qingyue in Hongxiu Pavilion.

Why does it smell a little fishy?

Miss Qingyue doesn't smell like this from head to toe...

Chu Yang suddenly woke up, and what he saw was not the Qingyue girl, but a huge demon that looked like a snake but not a snake, not like an ox, and was licking him with its tongue, as if it was licking a piece of broken ice.

Looking at the intoxicated look in the other person's eyes, it must be that he hasn't eaten in a few days. If it were him, he would be so hungry that he would even swallow shit in his stomach.

"No matter what you say, I'm better than shit. Now it's over!"

Chu Yang, who was at the critical moment of life and death, was still teasing. His calmness was a bit surprising even to himself. He thought he would wet his pants in fear.

But then I thought about it, I have enjoyed all the glory and wealth in this life, and it is not a loss if I die, so what is there to be sad about?

"I only have one request, can you brush your teeth before eating..."

Suddenly, the demon stopped, looked at Chu Yang with a strange expression for a while, and then moved its head towards Guo Furong.

This time Chu Yang's expression finally changed.

"I wonder if you are sick. With her small body, she can't even serve as dessert after a meal. You might as well eat me first."

As if feeling Chu Yang's eagerness, the corners of the demon's mouth raised, revealing an anthropomorphic and playful smile.

"What a fool!"

Only then did Chu Yang realize that the demon was teasing him. He liked the feeling of teasing him very much, just like a cat teasing a mouse.

No matter how Chu Yang scolded him, the demon ignored him and stuck out its tongue to lick Guo Furong's face.

Guo Furong's body couldn't stop trembling.

She had woken up long ago, but had been pretending to sleep for fear of disturbing the monster.

She heard what Chu Yang said just now word for word, and she felt extremely ashamed when she thought of the trouble she had caused him along the way.

"Brother, we are really going to die here today..."

Guo Furong cried softly.

"Don't cry! The more you cry, the happier it will be. Even if you die, you can't make it happy. Don't let Master's reputation be ruined!"

Chu Yang couldn't think of any other way to comfort Guo Furong, so he could only say this.

He was desperately trying to find a way to break the situation, but unfortunately his martial arts skills were so poor that everything was in vain.

Guo Furong gradually stopped crying and her face became resolute. Her senior brother was right. Her father was Guo Juxia and she could not embarrass him.

Having lost the source of happiness, the demon's eyes became fierce, and he opened his mouth to bite hard.

Right now.

"Sunflower acupoint hand!"

A white shadow passed quickly in front of the demon, so fast that it couldn't see the movements of the person coming. The demon was stunned for a moment and stood still.

"Hahaha, Lao Bai, you are so good!"

"Zhantang, you are great!"

Tong Xiangyu, Lu Xiucai and others did not dare to go over, so they could only stand in the passage between the lobby and the backyard to cheer.

Lao Xing, who was a prisoner in prison, looked at the huge demon and his whole body was trembling. He gritted his teeth, drew his sword and walked over.

Bai Zhantang turned his back to the demon and clapped his hands in a high-spirited manner, "I haven't taken action in many years, but I didn't expect that the sword is still not old!"

Lao Xing, who was about to reach Bai Zhantang, suddenly changed his expression.

Bai Zhantang was shocked. Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly felt as if his waist was hit hard by a heavy object. He instantly lost consciousness and hit the pile of firewood next to the wall.

The demon's snake tail swept across again. Lao Xing held his knife and prepared to block. As expected, he was swept away and landed in front of Tong Xiangyu and the others!

Everyone's faces turned pale, and they suddenly said something in their hearts.

It’s over!

Bai Zhantang, who was beaten badly by the fall, looked at the demon with dull eyes and murmured: "Human acupoints don't work on it, I'm really stupid..."

The demon lowered its head greedily, intending to eat everyone in the courtyard.

Tong Xiangyu and others hugged each other and cried.

"I told you to run away, but you guys insisted on coming to the backyard. Now you're done, right..."

"Boss, didn't you tell me to come?"

"I came when I told you to. I told you to work hard, but no one paid attention to me. Why are you being so obedient now?"

"Boss, you're being unreasonable."

"I'm dying, why should I talk to you about reason!"

"Xiangyu, don't cry. I have something to tell you."

"Zhan Tang..."

When the two of them were complaining, they suddenly heard a roar from behind the demon.

"I told you to eat me first, don't you even know who the big meal is? This broken inn looks poorly managed, and the boss and employees are all hungry and skinny. What's good to eat?"

"You are so ignorant, you are also a low-class character among the demons, right?"

The demon paused, slowly turned around and stared at Chu Yang. This human had been trying to irritate him, and at this moment, he seemed to have succeeded.

"I'm sorry, Junior Sister. I'll let you down this time. After this bastard eats me, I guess you'll be the next one."

"It's okay, Senior Brother. I'm not afraid. It's enough to buy time for these people to escape."

Chu Yang smiled with relief. Guo Furong, who had been clamoring to be a hero all day, finally showed some of the shadow of a hero when she was dying.

The demon opened its mouth and almost swallowed Chu Yang's whole body.

Guo Furong cried out at the top of her lungs.

Watching Chu Yang's self-sacrificing behavior, Bai Zhantang and others were so shocked that they couldn't speak.

In an instant, the whole world froze!

Soul Palace.

Chu Yang of the Ming Dynasty opened his eyes, and the demon disappeared from his sight, leaving only a few strange people fiddling with incomprehensible instruments.

"I've already said that this won't work. The two bloodlines are too different and incompatible!"

"What if there is a mutation? We have to try it!"

"What kind of science is gambling on odds? That's metaphysics!"

"It doesn't matter. I'm European!"

"Get out of my lab, you non-Africans."

After arguing for a long time, they realized that there was an extra person in the palace.

"Are you okay? You look like you were frightened. Before you came here, your situation was not very good, right?"

Zhushu Chuyang smiled and helped Daming Chuyang up, jokingly saying, "You'll get used to it. Before I came here, I was almost killed by the curse spirit."

The moment the two touched, they synchronized.

Daming Chuyang immediately understood the identities of these people and this mysterious palace.

"Your world is quite interesting." Curse Chu Yang said curiously: "What exactly is the so-called demon? It doesn't seem like a simple demon."

Daming Chu Yang shook his head and said: "I don't know. I haven't seen it many times. I only saw it from a distance before. This is the first time I've seen it up close. It feels disgusting to me, even more disgusting than the curse spirit."

Others also synchronized Daming Chu Yang's memory and passed on some experience to him.

After a while, Daming Chu Yang returned to the world.

The frozen world moved again.

Guo Furong was still crying.

Tong Xiangyu and others had not left yet.

The demon's body suddenly burst into a brilliant light.

Under their shocked eyes, it exploded!

A thunderous thunder exploded, illuminating the entire backyard of Tongfu Inn, as if a punishment from heaven had come to the world.

"Oh my god, why is there thunder?"

"Oh my god, my ears are about to be deafened!"

"Boss, boss, I can't see."

"Just close your eyes and rest for a while."

"Where is that demon?"

"It was smashed by thunder! God is watching over it, and the gods are blessing it!"

Everyone's face was full of smiles after surviving the disaster, except Guo Furong, who rushed to the remains of the demon like crazy, trying to find Chu Yang from a pile of charred meat.

"Brother! Brother!"

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked you to accompany me to the world!"

"If it weren't for me, you would still be enjoying yourself in the capital..."

Guo Furong was almost collapsed. She should have let the demon eat her first, so that her brother wouldn't die.

Tong Xiangyu slowly approached her.

Even though the guys held Tong Xiangyu's hand tightly, she was still walking towards Guo Furong's position.

Li Dazui hurriedly shouted: "Boss, don't, they are a pair of male and female demons!"

Tong Xiangyu was furious and said: "Didn't you see what happened just now? They tried their best to save us, but they still said that they were a pair of male and female demons. It's obvious that we misunderstood!"

Lv Xiucai shook his head and said subconsciously: "Not necessarily, as the saying goes, a dying man's words are good..."

"Shut up!"

Everyone shouted angrily.

Lv Xiucai shrank his neck and quieted down.

Tong Xiangyu lifted her skirt and ran to Guo Furong to help her find Chu Yang in a pile of meat.

Others also came up to help.

Old Xing stood aside with a sad face, feeling a little disgusted at the scene. The smell of burnt meat alone made him almost vomit.

"Why is Old Xing still standing there?!"

Tong Xiangyu looked up at him coldly, "I saved your life, don't forget who brought the demon!"

"Okay, okay, stop talking!" Old Xing felt that his conscience was greatly hurt, and he didn't care about the disgust, and got into the pile of meat and fiddled around.

"Hey... I'm here..."

Guo Furong was ecstatic when she heard the familiar voice, and rushed over to the sound and dug Chu Yang out of a pile of bloody filth.

Chu Yang was fine, but he was disgusted.

When he returned from the Soul Palace, he had been swallowed by the demon. In desperation, he activated the most powerful of the five spirit powers, the thunder spirit.

An explosion occurs in a confined space. Although it is fatal to the demon, it also blows out all the filth in the opponent's body.

This time he almost smoked Chu Yang to death, and his brain shut down instantly.

However, the so-called filth is not something like feces and urine, but the demon's unique source of power, which is similar to blood, but more important than blood.

Normal people will most likely be transformed into the next monster if they come into contact with it.

"Senior brother, are you feeling uncomfortable in any way?" Guo Furong anxiously touched Chu Yang's body, "If you have any questions, you must tell me."

"Are you blind?" Chu Yang pulled the dirty things on his body and cursed angrily: "I've become like this, and you still ask me what's wrong with me. Just try these things on your body and you'll know. I feel uncomfortable."

Guo Furong looked aggrieved. She obviously cared about Chu Yang with good intentions, but the other party didn't appreciate it at all.

"Girl, let your senior brother take a bath first. If you stay there for a while, he will soon be drowned in the smell!"

Bai Zhantang retched and reminded kindly.

"Big Mouth! Pour some hot water from the kitchen and give it to this young hero first. Ugh..."

Tong Xiangyu started vomiting as he spoke.

When she vomited, it was like some kind of chain reaction, and a group of people also vomited.

"Senior brother, vomit... you should go first... vomit..."

"Okay, you'd better spit it out before you talk!"

Chu Yang shook his head helplessly. Before Li Dazui poured hot water, he entered the room first, closed the door, and rinsed his whole body with the power of water spirit.

After a while, it looked brand new inside and out.

"Well... young hero, you can sleep in Dazui's room tonight. Your junior sister will sleep with me upstairs. Don't worry."

Tong Xiangyu's voice came from outside the house.

"Thank you, shopkeeper."

"No, no, we should thank you. Then you can go to bed early."

After being polite, Tong Xiangyu's footsteps became farther and farther away.

He couldn't sleep for long, it was almost dawn, but Chu Yang still chose to take a nap for a while.

There is no physical fatigue, but the mental aspect is very tormented, including the existence of the soul palace, which also gives Chu Yang a big impact at this moment.

The chickens raised in the backyard were scared to death by the demon, so Chu Yang didn't hear any crows the next morning.

However, there was a rapid knock on the door from the main entrance of the lobby, which woke Tong Xiangyu and others from their sleep.

"Earn your life! Who started knocking on the door so early in the morning!"

"Tongfu Inn is closed today!"

"Before I get out of bed and get angry, I advise you to leave immediately!"

Because Chu Yang occupied Li Dazui's house yesterday, they slept together with Bai Zhantang in the lobby. The knock on the door frightened the three of them.

They scolded each other for a long time, until Tong Xiangyu stood on the second floor wearing a thin gauze dress, frowning and said: "Open the door in the exhibition hall."

"Okay!" Bai Zhantang immediately shut up and opened the door with a bang before he even got dressed.

Standing outside was a middle-aged man, wearing official uniform and a black gauze hat, with a lean build and sharp eyes.

"Oh my God! The shopkeeper, the Lou Magistrate is here!"

Bai Zhantang stepped back in surprise. When he turned around, Tong Xiangyu was no longer on the second floor.

Lou Zhixian walked into the inn with square steps, like a big bastard, and there were many policemen standing behind him.

Lao Xing followed Lou Zhixian and entered the inn.

"Hurry up and serve tea to Lou Zhixian! Lou Zhixian made a special trip to issue a reward order to your Tongfu Inn."

Lao Xing winked, smiled from ear to ear, and looked beaming as if he had been rewarded.

The demons in the Ming Dynasty were plundering so fiercely that the Divine Catcher Division alone was not enough to quell the chaos of demons in the world, so they encouraged the people to participate, and this was how the reward order came into being.

As long as people participate in exterminating demons, they will have the opportunity to obtain reward orders, which is a symbol of status and can win some privileges. They can also make requests to the court. The premise is not to go too far, otherwise the reward orders may be taken away.

When he heard the reward order, Bai Zhantang's pupils shrank. This thing could completely clear his past criminal record, and from then on, he could appear in front of the world openly.

In an instant, the whole person was trembling with excitement.

"Old Bai! Calm down!" Lao Xing stepped forward and patted Bai Zhantang on the shoulder, laughing in a low voice: "Isn't it just a reward? Look at how you look like you have never seen the world."

That's what he said, but when the reward order came down this morning, Lao Xing almost passed it, and he was countless times more excited than Bai Zhantang.
