The next day, various versions of rumors began to leak out in Chang'an City.

Some people say that because of offending King Xiaoyao, the Zheng family was sent to destroy the whole family overnight by King Xiaoyao.

Some people also say that the Zheng family is doing unrighteous things, and was discovered by the heroes of the world, and destroyed the whole family.

The most common thing is that there are monsters in the city, which are specifically charming and sucking people's souls. The whole Zheng family was targeted by the monster, so the whole family was dead.

The first statement is mostly spread among the people, and the second statement is spread among scholars. As for the last one, it is the story of the storyteller.

However, compared with the three rumors, Li Muyun believes that the last one is more realistic.

"Young Master, this matter is strange everywhere. Do you want me to ask?" The little girl Mu Yu was transferred back from the seal shop by Li Muyun last night. At this time, she was with him and listened to the storyteller on the roadside. When she heard the key points, she asked in a low voice.

Li Muyun listened to the storyteller with interest and said those strange things without any attention, turning a deaf ear to the little girl's suggestions, as if she hadn't heard what she was saying.

Mu Xin stood on the other side of Li Muyun. Seeing that Mu Yu had the intention to continue talking, he quickly pulled her and shook his head slightly: "Young master must have thought of something, sister, don't disturb him."

Mu Yu was very curious about Mu Xin, the maid who suddenly appeared beside Li Muyun. Since the day this woman appeared, she was sent to Zhuangzi outside the city to be responsible for the printing workshop and had rarely contacted her. At this time, she saw that her young master was obsessed with telling the story of Mr. Shu, and her eyes turned to Mu Xin immediately: "Miss, how did you get to the young master?"

"I used to be Princess Changle's maid, but later I was given to the prince by Your Highness." Mu Xin concealed the things that Cayman had hidden, and replied 70% true and three false.

Mu Yu asked again: "Will you go back?"

Mu Xin said in a pun: "It shouldn't be the case. It's not much the same as the young master and the emperor's side."

Of course, Mu Yu could understand the meaning of it, pursed her lips and smiled, then said, "Then I will call you sister from now on!"

Mu Xin smiled happily: "Okay."

Mu Yu nodded very seriously, called out to his sister, and then frowned and said, "Sister, you followed the young master yesterday. Do you know what the situation is in the Zheng family?"

Mu Xin looked a little sad: "I don't know. The young master didn't let me in last night, saying that girls shouldn't watch that scene."

Seeing Mu Xin's expression a little sad, Mu Yu persuaded considerately: "Young Master has always taken good care of us. It's because he doesn't let you in for your own good."

"I know." Mu Xin looked at Li Muyun's back in front of him, and seemed a little distracted. After a while, he said to Mu Yu: "But although I didn't go in yesterday, I found out something outside."

When the little girl Mu Yu heard this, she suddenly felt: "What's the matter? What's the matter?"

Mu Xin thought for a while and said, "It's really strange to say. Yesterday I was listening to the officials in front of me asking about the servants of the Zheng family. The servants almost spoke in unison that in the evening of yesterday, all the members of the Zheng family appeared, and even the old man broke the cup and ordered people to whip her five times because of a maid."

Mu Yu's face changed: "What? How is this possible? Didn't even Dali Temple prove that the Zheng family members were dead in the afternoon? How could they still appear in the evening?"

Mu Xin frowned, with a hint of fear in her eyes, and her voice trembled: "It's a bit strange here. It's said that a coroner may make a mistake, but yesterday almost all coroners in Chang'an City went there, and everyone agreed that the person died in the afternoon."

Mu Yu stopped talking. Although she was not as scared as Mu Xin, she felt a little scared.

The ancients were superstitious and were quite confident in matters of gods and ghosts. In addition, the little girl was young and was not mature in mind, so she could not control her emotions after listening to these nagging things.

"I said you two are over. Are you really planning to summon the monster?" Li Muyun suddenly turned his head and said seriously: "Mr. Storyteller just now, that monster has a thousand-mile eyes and a wind ear. Who is talking about him being able to hear even if he is thousands of miles away."

Mu Xin and Mu Yu's faces turned pale in an instant. Mu Yu looked around nervously, and then the two women looked at Li Muyun and burst out of the crowd.

I was fooled! Mu Yu's little face, which was a little pale just now, instantly became congested and turned red. He jumped behind and shouted, "Young Master, you're teasing me again."

Mu Xin was also full of surprise, but because she had not been in contact with Li Muyun for a long time and was a little more reserved, she didn't say anything despite her secret hatred.

Li Muyun did not show any guilt at all, but instead shouted in front of him: "If you two can't come again, maybe the monsters will really come to catch you."

The little girl Mu Yu pouted and hummed, stomped her feet hard, pulled Mu Xin beside her and chased after her. After catching up with Li Muyun, she followed him silently, her angrily looking obviously blocking her breath.

Li Muyun walked in front, looked around, and let the little girl Mu Yu sulk there. When she heard someone discussing last night, she stopped and listened for a while. When she saw someone who was having sex, she would come over and shout a few times. It seemed that the Zheng family's affairs had nothing to do with him at all.

In the end, the little girl Mu Yu couldn't hold it in, blocked his way and said, "Young Master, are you not in a hurry at all? After such a big thing, almost half of the people in Chang'an City think that you killed the Zheng family. Don't you want to clarify?"

Li Muyun bounced on Mu Yu's head: "What are you clarifying? Notices are posted all over the streets, and there are still illiterate people. How can I say that there are so many people in Chang'an City alone?"

"Then find out the case, find out the person who framed you, and bring him to justice." Mu Yu seemed to be more anxious than Li Muyun. If she hadn't known who the murderer was, she would have gone to arrest people at this time.

Li Muyun shook his head: "Be calm, the situation is not clear at the moment, and blind action will only be more passive."

"But..." Mu Yu wanted to say something else, but was soon interrupted by Li Muyun: "Don't, go, buy some things, let's go into the palace."

...

There are a lot more imperial guards in the palace than before, and obviously they are also somewhat affected by some rumors outside.

Li Yuan in Da'an Palace was watching with a chess record. When he saw Li Muyun, he said angrily: "You kid is really a troublemaker. I don't know why I was so crazy that I had to take you as my adopted son."

"Hehe, that's because you are keen on your wise eyes!" Li Muyun took a gift box from Mu Xin's hand, put it in the hand of the eunuch who came to meet, and reminded him: "Please take it, if it is broken, be careful of your legs."

The little eunuch was startled and hugged the box tightly in his arms, not daring to relax at all.

Li Yuan snorted: "You kid has done such a big deal outside. Is this going to be a dirty deal here?"

"Dad, this is the set of tea sets I just bought on the roadside. There is no such thing as that." Li Muyun sat on the chair brought by the eunuch aside and continued with some depression: "Besides, I didn't do that at all, don't put a hat on it."

Li Yuan waved his hand to the little eunuch holding the gift box, signaling him to open the gift box, then turned to Li Muyun and said, "Who are you? I heard that you have issued a military order. If you don't go to investigate the case, you ran to me. Do you want to investigate me?"

Li Muyun curled his lips: "There is a thing in this world called the Crazy Fruit, which grows similar to longans, and it will make people crazy after eating it. There is also a poisonous weed in southern Xinjiang called poppy. It will cause hallucination after eating it. It will be addicted to it. It will be haggard if it is eaten for a long time. If it is broken, life is worse than death."

Li Yuan's face gradually changed. He stared at Li Muyun for a long time before saying, "You guy is such a ruthless method."

Li Muyun sighed and said, "The main reason is that there is no such a big grudge, and there is no need. If I really want to mess with them, I can make them live incredibly painful. This is much safer than killing them."

Li Yuan thought for a while and said, "Since this is not yours, why are you here to find me?"

Li Muyun smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just miss you. Come and have a look and ask you for help."

Li Yuan didn't say anything, as if he was waiting for Li Muyun to finish his words.

"I want to ask you to play a play with me." Li Muyun glanced around and said calmly.

Li Yuan seemed to be interested in acting, and said, "How to act?"

Li Muyun approached Old Li Yuan, lowered his voice and said, "Pretending to be sick!"

...

The day after Li Muyun left the palace, the Supreme Emperor fell ill, talking nonsense, and kept shouting that there was something wrong. The imperial doctor in the palace treated him many times but could not find any disease.

The old Taoist priest Yuan Tiangang was also called into the palace. After two days of rituals, the results were minimal.

His Majesty the Emperor had no choice but to issue a list of articles, summoning talented people from all over the world to enter the palace to diagnose the "illness" for the Emperor.

For a moment, the storm of Chang'an suddenly changed, and the matter about the Zheng family became a discussion about the condition of the Supreme Emperor overnight.

Many people think that this matter must be caused by monsters, otherwise how could the Supreme Emperor suddenly scream like a ghost in the heavily guarded palace?
