Zhao Zhen stared at him talking in a low voice for a while, then suddenly laughed.

When He Yihang and Nangong Ji walked to the garden, they happened to see Zhao Zhen smiling happily.

Nangong Qin pouted and looked at Nangong Ji.

Nangong Ji was helpless, Zhao Zhen was so happy teasing his nephew.

After Zhao Zhen finished laughing, he asked Nangong Ji to take Nangong Qin to Kaifeng Mansion. It was estimated that Zhan Zhao and the others wanted to ask him something about the case. By the way, the uncle and nephew went to have a meal or something and give Nangong a half-day holiday.

Nangong explained a few words to Ge Qing, who came to replace Zhao Lan after class, and took his nephew out of the Royal Garden.

After leaving the palace and heading to Kaifeng Mansion, Nangong Ji asked Nangong Qin, "The emperor may let you be the imperial guard."

Nangong Qin didn't say much and just nodded.

Nangong Ji looked at him with some confusion, "You were not happy when I asked you to be a guard before. You said you wanted to join the army. Why don't you talk back today?"

Nangong Qin thought for a while and muttered, "There is nothing wrong with being a royal guard."

…

In the palace, He Yihang sat down.

Zhao Zhen asked him, "Is that child the same as Nangong?"

He Yihang nodded, "Both uncle and nephew are fine people."

Zhao Zhen was drinking tea and chatting with He Yihang. At this time, Eunuch Chen brought two brocade boxes, one large and one small.

The big one was put on the table first, and Zhao Zhen said to He Yihang, "There are some things found in the palace that belonged to He Wanfeng back then."

He Yihang was surprised. He opened the box and found the Four Treasures of the Study, as well as some wooden rulers, seals and the like.

He Yihang thanked Zhao Zhen, and this was considered a family heirloom.

"The other thing you take back to Uncle Jiu and Zhan Zhao is that it may be useful in investigating the case."

Zhao Zhen handed over the small brocade box again and motioned to He Yihang to open it and take a look first.

Inside the box was a piece of wood. It looked like it had been burned or buried in the mud. It was very old. The black wood had pits on the surface and some mottled gold paint.

He Yihang didn't understand and asked Zhao Zhen, "Your Majesty, what is this?"

Zhao Zhen smiled slightly and said, "I dug it out of the ground when I was repairing the garden."

Nangong was even more puzzled. Who buried a piece of rotten wood in the palace?

Zhao Zhen nodded to Eunuch Chen beside him and signaled him to say.

Chen Gonggong said, "General, this object is related to some rumors in the palace. It should be the carcass of an animal, mostly an owl or a crocodile."

He Yihang was curious, "What is the purpose of this thing?"

"Most of them are used to ward off evil spirits and are buried in the yard near the house."

This was the first time He Yihang heard this statement.

"The owl is a homophonic word for a villain. Similarly, the crocodile represents malice. Gold plating on wood seals is a sealing technique. It is an ancient technique to ward off evil and harm by sealing up bad things." Eunuch Chen said helplessly, "Morning.

It has been widely circulated in the harem in recent years."

He Yihang understood, "It's the same as Princess Salt Coffin's coffin, right?"

"It should be, there is salt in it." Chen Gonggong said, "I don't know the specific details."

He Yihang thought about it - the coffin that Taiwei Cao Kui got in the cellar before, plus the exorcism array placed around it, had he encountered some kind of monster and needed this array to exorcise the demon?

…

Inside Kaifeng Mansion.

Two groups of people, Zhan Zhao and Lin Yehuo, came back. One side captured a group of people from San Yunzhai, and the other side captured a group of Taiwei Mansion guards who wanted to assassinate Duo Qi.

Doro had already received the news and ran over in fright. It is said that the Eighth Prince gave him a scolding before going out, blaming him for not picking up his father in person.

When he found out that Duo Qi was fine, Duoluo was relieved, but his father scolded him again, "You silly boy, why are you here if you don't stay with the Eighth Prince? Go back and protect the Eighth Prince!"

Doro was quite aggrieved and was scolded from both sides like a doormat.

After sending Duoluo away, Tianzun and Yin Hou also came back with Gongsun, Chen Tong and a group of young talents.

When Tianzun Yinhou entered the house, he looked for the Demon King, wondering if he had caused trouble.

When the demon king saw the two of them, he squatted down and asked for something from the fourth son.

The little fourth son took out the two little golden pigs from his small purse that the Demon King had just asked him to help keep.

There are also two red ropes threaded on the golden pig. I wonder if there are bells inside, which sound like water. They make a tinkling sound when shaken.

The demon king held up two small golden pigs and turned to look at Tianzun and Yin Hou. The two elders took a step back warily - what are you going to do?

"Come on! Put it on!"

Tianzun and Yin Hou were shocked - what are they doing?!

"Walking away evil spirits!" The Demon King said with a serious face, "This is the year of your zodiac!"

Tianzun and Yin Hou jumped to their feet, "Don't come here! This is not the Year of the Pig, and neither of us is the year of our zodiac!"

The Silver Demon King narrowed his eyes and instructed the fourth son, Xiao Liangzi, who quietly ran to Tianzun and Yin Hou, "Catch them!"

The two children immediately hugged each other, and Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also went to help.

The demon king gave the two of them a golden pig pendant. Lin Yehuo and Zhao Pu looked at it very interestingly, and they both asked Gongsun where they bought the golden pig pendant. It was quite beautiful.

Gongsun said that the older golden pig in Liu Ji Gold Shop was almost buried just now.

"Hahaha."

Chen Tong, who came with Gongsun and the others, was amused by this scene. Such a great Heavenly Lord, Yin Hou, dared to fall into the hands of the Demon King as a child.

Zhan Zhaozheng was wondering why Chen Tong was here too. In the room, Su Jiugu, who had just finished feeding Mei Busheng the medicine, happened to come out.

Su Jiugu looked up and was stunned for a moment when she saw Chen Tong standing in the yard.

Immediately, everyone heard a "clang" sound, and the medicine bowl in Su Jiugu's hand fell to the ground and broke.

Everyone turned around in confusion, and Chen Tong also turned around.

Then Jiu Gu ran up and grabbed his sleeve, "Uncle Master!"

Chen Tong opened his mouth, obviously surprised.

Everyone in Kaifeng Mansion looked at Chen Tong in confusion - Chen Sangua, don't you claim to be a half-assed fortune teller in the alley? What kind of uncle?!

On the side, Gongsun was holding a tea cup and taking a sip of tea. He looked up and admired the soy sauce group that was forcibly put on a golden pig pendant. He nodded while looking at it - yes! It looks pretty good.

Bai Yutang looked very satisfied and asked Zhan Zhao, "Can I get you a golden cat to wear?"

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows, "Whoever wants to wear a golden cat, I want to wear a golden mouse!"
