"Take the monster away!"

With Zhao Yuan's order, the guards from the West Factory behind him all headed towards the cell where the seven demons of the gourd were imprisoned.

The Vermilionary Que Hall Mingwei naturally could not allow the other party to take people away like this, and he stood in front with his weapons. Both sides were in a tense posture.

Heiling stared at Zhao Yuan and said coldly: "Eunuch Zhao, what right do you have to come to my Zhuque Hall to arrest people? Just rely on the orders of the Lord Yu? Haha, even if the Lord Yu has great power, you cannot steal people in this way."

Zhao Yuan picked his nails and smiled, "Mr. Heiling, if the family remembers correctly, after the seven gourd demons were captured in the Mingwei and the Demon Suppressing Office, a murder happened to occur, and the Queen Mother handed over the case to our West Factory for supervision. I wonder if you have any impression of it."

Hei Ling frowned, and after thinking about it carefully, her face looked a little ugly.

"Is this true?"

Chen Mu didn't know the inside story of the demon arrest case.

Hei Ling nodded and whispered: "Yes, when the Demon Suppressing the Demons and the Mingwei went to capture the Seven Gourd Demons, they fled. On the way to escape, the Seven Gourd Demons killed several eunuchs in the West Factory, one of whom had a good official position.

The reason why these eunuchs were killed was because they saw these people bullying the common people, so they were so angry that they took action.

By the time we learned about the murder, the seven gourd demons had long disappeared and probably left Da Yan. For this reason, the governor of Xichang Yu also made a fuss about this matter and scolded the Mingwei and the Demon-Suppressing Office for their unfavorable affairs.

Later, due to some internal political struggles, the Mingwei and the Demon Suppression Office were unwilling to continue investigating the case. Therefore, in order to appease the West Factory, the Empress Dowager gave the supervision of the case to the West Factory. If the Seven Demons of the Gourds are caught in the future, the West Factory has the right to conduct an interrogation as soon as possible, and no one can obstruct it."

After listening to Heiling’s story, Chen Mu probably understood the situation at that time.

In other words, the Empress Dowager believed that the Seven Demons of the Gourds could no longer be caught, so in order to perfunctory the West Factory, he gave the right to supervise the case.

But I didn’t expect that the West Factory would come directly to take this matter to the person today.

No wonder the other party is so arrogant.

After all, in a sense, this is the imperial edict of the Queen Mother. As the Queen Mother, you, Zhuquetang and Chen Mu, cannot violate the orders of your master.

"This Rain Master has two brushes."

Chen Mu frowned.

He was just awarded the title, and it was the most energetic time in his life. As a celebrity who was highly regarded by the Queen Mother, he was in the limelight.

And at this time, I will give you a warning.

It not only makes you lose some face, but it can also help the little emperor suppress the momentum of the empress dowager, killing multiple deaths in one fell swoop.

Moreover, the seven gourd demons are of high value. If anyone can interrogate them as soon as possible, they will inevitably involve many secret secret matters, such as the mysterious realm of Yueluo Lake and the whereabouts of the demon king.

Looking at the silent Heiling and Chen Mu, Zhao Yuan bent his lips and slowly took out an imperial edict:

"In addition, the miscellaneous family did not just follow the orders of the governor. His Majesty also issued a special order to bring the seven demons of the gourd back to the Xichang Edict Prison, so... I hope Lord Heiling and Lord Chen will not make things difficult for me."

The emergence of the imperial edict made things even more difficult.

The other party clearly shows you the problem.

There was a promise from the Queen Mother before, and the current imperial edict was ordered. I want to see if you, Chen Mu, hand over the seven demons of the gourd.

You, Chen Mu, dare to disobey the order today, will offend the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.

Even if the Empress Dowager doesn’t care, will the supporters under the Empress Dowager not care?

After all, you have shown with practical actions that you do not take the Queen Mother seriously at all. How can you tolerate you continuing to stay in the court?

"Sir, what should I do?"

Hei Ling lost her mind for a moment and looked at Chen Mu with hope.

Chen Mu didn't expect this situation to happen. After his brain was running rapidly, he whispered: "There is no way. Failure to arrange the response methods in advance has put us at a disadvantage. Now we can only make a bad move in this situation."

Although he did not care about violating the orders of the Empress Dowager and His Majesty, he now involved Zhuquetang and his wife, so he must act cautiously.

If you are as willful as before, the consequences will be really serious.

The worst?

Heiling was a little puzzled.

Chen Mu bowed to Eunuch Zhao and smiled, "Since the Queen Mother's promise and His Majesty's decree, I will naturally not disobey the will. I will take the seven demons of the gourd to you now, and please wait for a moment."

After saying that, Chen Mu turned around and entered the cell.

Hei Ling originally planned to follow, but after seeing the winks from the other party, she stood outside the door.

Seeing this, Zhao Yuan had a strong smile on his face and was quite proud.

...

When he entered the cell, Chen Mu didn't talk nonsense and said directly to the seven demons of the gourd: "The West Factory is here to ask for people. You killed a few eunuchs while running away. They plan to take you to the imperial prison for interrogation."

When the seven brothers heard this, they looked ugly.

The fourth son of Hulu said angrily: "We did kill a few eunuchs back then, but those eunuchs were bullying the common people. They were so angry that they took action."

"It has nothing to do with me."

Chen Mu said lightly. "Now the Xichang wants to take you over, and there is also the promise of the queen mother and the emperor's will. I can't openly disobey the order, so..."

"So you're going to hand us over?"

The boss of the gourd sneered.

They decided to trust Chen Mu just now, but they still sold them back.

Of course, although Chen Mu couldn't help but collapsed the trust that both sides had finally established.

"I'm thinking." Chen Mu said lightly.

"Stop talking nonsense, hand us over, I'm not afraid of eunuchs!"

The fourth gourd said fiercely.

Chen Mu raised his dark eyebrows: "I am very ambitious, but think about it, what will happen after you enter the Xichang Zhao Prison?"

The brothers suddenly changed their faces.

They naturally knew what the consequences would be if they were captured by the West Factory. The most feared thing was not to be skinned by cramps, but to lose the last bit of hope to save their grandfather.

After all, no one was negotiating with them.

Thinking of this, the originally angry brothers fell into despair and confusion, and they all stopped talking in despair.

"I'll ask you one more thing, would you like to go to the Valley of Destiny with me?"

Chen Mu asked.

The fourth son of Hulu said angrily: "What's the use of saying these now? The emperor's imperial edict has been issued. Can you still resist the imperial edict?"

But the gourd second brother vaguely understood something: "You have a way?"

"Yes, although this method is risky, at least try it."

Chen Mu nodded. "But you have to promise that you will go to Destiny Valley with me. If you break your promise, I will let you know the price!"

Looking at Chen Mu's determined expression, the seven gourd demons looked surprised, looked at each other and made eye contact.

Finally, the second son of Hulu whispered: "Okay, as long as we don't hand us over to the Xichang, we will go to Tianming Valley with you. Besides, you said before that this is Grandpa's order, and we are willing to believe you once anyway."

Bang!

Chen Mu snapped his fingers, and the curve of the corner of his lips slightly bent a beautiful line: "Very good, I hope everything goes well."

Then, he waved his hand and called a Suzaku Mingwei and whispered a few words in her ear.

The latter nodded slightly, quietly left Zhuque Hall through the secret door next to him, and quickly headed to Chen Mu's home.

...

After procrastinating for about twenty minutes, the seven gourd demons locked by iron chains finally walked out of the dungeon gate under the escort of the Nether Guard.

Zhao Yuan, who was already waiting to be impatient, glanced at the seven gourd demons and sneered: "It looks average, I thought I had three heads and six arms."

Chen Mu followed behind and said, "Mr. Zhao, I have brought these seven monsters. If the trial is all up to you, but I am ugly in front of you. The Demon Suppression Department and the Underworld Guard have a case for interrogation, so we have to ensure that they are alive. If something goes wrong in your West Factory, you will not be able to bear it then."

"Don't worry, Lord Chen, we all understand these things and will not let them worry about their lives."

Zhao Yuan laughed twice, turned his head and ordered the guards of the West Factory. "What are you still standing there? Lock these monsters again and take them back to the imperial prison!"

Hearing the order, a dozen Western Factory guards took out special iron chains and walked towards the seven demons of the gourd.

Chen Mu also signaled the surrounding Mingwei to retreat and hand over the seven gourd demons.

"Get out!!"

But just as the guards of the West Factory were about to get on the iron chain, the boss of the gourd at the front suddenly roared, broke the original iron chain on his body, rushed over directly, and knocked away seven or eight Western Factory guards.

This incident made the guards present in the West Factory, including Zhao Yuan, a little confused.

After coming back to his senses, the boss of the gourd had already pulled off the iron chains from the two gourd demons next to him, and the scene instantly fell into chaos.

"Quick! Catch them and don't let them run away!"

However, Chen Mu reacted quickly and immediately shouted at the surrounding guards. "Catch the monsters, hurry up! Don't let them run away!" Then, he ordered another team of guards: "Protect Lord Zhao! Protect Lord Zhao first!"

The guards of the West Factory beside Zhao Yuan rushed out and were blocked by the underworld guards who came to "protect" Lord Zhao.

Everyone pushed and shoved each other, and the scene became more and more chaotic.
