I became the demon of the female devil

Chapter 48 A man who has his cake and eats it too!
boom--

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the wind was strong and thundering, as if the sky was angry.

Chu Zhuo stood in the crowd, covering his bleeding waist, staring at Chen Mo with vicious eyes.

He was wounded with one sword strike, but he still had the strength left to kill two purple-robed guards. However, he is only a young man, but he has such strength. He may become a big trouble in the future!
Hearing Chen Mo personally admit to the murder, Chu Zhuo couldn't help but feel ecstatic.

This kid is so rampant!
Now that there is evidence and witnesses, as long as Mr. Zhou gets to the bottom of it, even the Chen family can’t save him!

……

Zhou Jing'an looked at the golden token and felt it was extremely hot.

With his keen eyesight, he could naturally distinguish the true from the false. There were three levels of the Flying Phoenix Order: Ming Feng Chao Yang, Feng Qi Wu Tong, and the highest level, Bai Niao Chao Feng.

And the piece that Chen Mo threw to him was the genuine "Ming Feng Chao Yang" order!

Although it does not have many privileges, it represents the attitude of the Eastern Palace!

"Isn't Chen Mo a lackey of Concubine Yu? How come he has the Queen's token?"

"What exactly is going on?"

Zhou Jingan's mind was a little confused.

Chen Mo stared at him with his dark eyes, and said faintly: "Seeing the Flying Phoenix Order is like seeing the Holy Queen. Zhou Jingan, will you kneel or not?"

Boom——

Thunder rumbled in the sky. Zhou Jing'an's body trembled. He was silent for a long time, then slowly bent his knees and knelt on the ground.

"Your humble servant Zhou Jing'an pays respects to Her Majesty the Queen!"

wow-

Upon seeing this, the guards around dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen!"

? !
Chu Zhuo's smile froze on his face and his eyes were blank. Before he could figure out what was happening, Chu Chen beside him pulled him to his knees.

"Dad, it seems we are in big trouble this time..."

"..."

……

A token the size of a palm now weighed more than a thousand pounds, weighing down everyone so much that they could not stand up straight.

Is this what power feels like?

Chen Mo sat on the chair and said calmly: "If you have anything to say, just kneel down and say it."

Zhou Jing'an raised his head, staring at him with bloodshot eyes, and said through his teeth, "Chen Mo, you are just trying to get away with it. You seriously injured the government troops and killed people in the street. Each of these is a serious crime punishable by beheading! Do you think you can get away with this token?"

Facing this naked threat, Chen Mo remained calm and said:
"I am ordered by the Holy Queen to take charge of the case of the demon clan murder."

"While discussing the case with the two investigating officers, I encountered a thief and was held hostage by the Zhou Palace guards."

"I have reason to suspect that the Cabinet's tutor Zhou Jing'an and the Tianlin Guard's centurion Chu Zhuo deliberately obstructed the investigation and are suspected of having connections with the demon clan. They should be detained and interrogated to verify the truth..."

At this point, he paused, turned around and asked, "Captain Lin, Brother Shangguan, do you think it's okay to write this memorial?"

Lin Jingzhu nodded, "It's well-reasoned and convincing."

Shangguan Yunfei pinched his chin and said thoughtfully, "When the time comes, let my father polish it up a bit and present it to the Holy Empress. Your Highness will be wise and will investigate the matter thoroughly."

?

Zhou Jingan frowned.

Just now, my attention was focused on Chen Mo, and I didn't pay attention to the other two. After a closer look, I saw that the woman's hair was disheveled, and her white clothes were torn in many places. However, her eyebrows and eyes seemed familiar, as if I had seen her somewhere...

Your surname is Lin?

Could it be...

Zhou Jingan was shocked!
As for the other person, there is no need to say anything. There is only one Shangguan family in Tiandu City!

The head of the family is none other than Shangguan Jin, the Minister of Public Administration, a third-rank official who is responsible for discussing memorials to the emperor and his subjects, and is involved in major political affairs!
"How can it be?!"

"The Shangguan family has always maintained a neutral attitude and never participated in party disputes. The Lin family is even more noble and has always been low-key. How could they be in league with Chen Mo, a rebel?"

Zhou Jingan couldn't understand how Chen Mo managed to have the best of both worlds.

Chu Zhuo stood up suddenly after hearing this, pointed at Chen Mo and angrily said: "You are slandering me! It was obviously you who committed the crime first, so I..."

"Shut up!"

Zhou Jingan glared at him fiercely.

If it weren't for the trouble caused by this piece of trash, how could he have ended up in such a situation?
Having something to do with the demon clan... He knew that Chen Mo was trying to get close to him, but he couldn't get involved in it, and this matter had to end here!
"It was our recklessness that disturbed the three adults."

"Since the three of you are busy with official duties, we will take our leave now. I hope that Lord Chen can solve the case as soon as possible and restore order to Tiandu City."

Zhou Jing'an lowered his head and presented the gold medal with both hands.

Chen Mo stared at him silently for a long time, until his body trembled slightly, then he reached out and took the token.

"Remember to repair the restaurant."

"It's my duty." Zhou Jing'an didn't want to stay for a moment and was about to lead his men to leave when Lin Jingzhu said, "Wait a minute, Chu, you still owe me eighty sticks."

"..."

Chu Chen's face turned pale, his lips moved, "Dad, save me..."

Chu Zhuo looked at Zhou Jingan, "Mr. Zhou, this..."

Zhou Jing'an had no expression on his face and said coldly, "Since you are guilty, you should accept the punishment. It's better to be beaten here so that you don't have to go to the government office."

After saying that, he waved his sleeves and left.

"Don't worry, I know my limits and I won't die."

Lin Jingzhu shook the stick and said with a smile.

Chu Zhuo's face turned red and white, but he could do nothing.

Although Chu Chen is a seventh-rank warrior, he can't withstand such a beating... If he can withstand these eighty strokes, he won't be able to get out of bed for several months!
boom!
"eighty……"

"what!"

Miserable wails echoed above the ruins.

At this time, Chen Mo stood up and said, "We've almost finished drinking, let's go first and talk another day."

"Master Chen, that case..."

Before Shangguan Yunfei could finish his words, Chen Mo disappeared in a flash.

"..."

Shangguan Yunfei looked at Lin Jingzhu.

"Captain Lin, that case..."

"Seventy, sixty-nine... Don't interrupt me, I forgot again... Seventy-nine..."

"..."

Shangguan Yunfei rubbed his eyebrows and felt a severe headache.

"Why do I feel like I'm the only one worrying about this? What the hell is this..."

……

After a cup of tea, the caning was over.

Chu Chen had fainted, his whole body embedded in the floor. Chu Zhuo had a lot of trouble to dig him out. Not daring to say a word, he quickly left the restaurant holding him and went straight to the clinic.

Lin Jingzhu moved his shoulders and said, "Tsk, it feels so good!"

Shangguan Yunfei frowned and said, "If you had revealed your identity earlier, there wouldn't be so many problems. How could a sixth-rank centurion dare to attack you?"

Lin Jingzhu said righteously, "During my time on duty, my identity was the Six Gates Inspector. Just because I don't have a background, should I be bullied?"

Shangguan Yunfei curled his lips and complained inwardly:
If you didn't have a background, you would have been expelled from the Six Gates long ago!

It's obvious that he just wants to fight, but he's pretending to be righteous...

"But today is not a complete loss. At least we know how to investigate this case." Lin Jingzhu forced a smile.

Shangguan Yunfei immediately became alert when he heard about the case. "Why, do you have any clues?"

"Don't you think Zhou Jingan is a little weird?"

"I only met him once from a distance at the birthday banquet, and I don't know him well. But since he is the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and he is on the path of promotion in the cabinet, why is he related to the Tianlin Guard?"

"Besides, Chen Mo just said that he had 'involvement with the demon clan'. It sounds scary at first, but it's actually just a lie. It doesn't stand up to scrutiny. But Mr. Zhou is so afraid..."

Shangguan Yunfei pondered and said, "He must have recognized us and didn't want to offend us, right?"

Lin Jingzhu shook his head and said, "Your father's identity is destined to remain neutral, otherwise he will lose the emperor's favor. Although the Lin family is an in-law, they have no real power, so there is no need to worry."

"The party struggle is fierce now, and the three departments and six ministries are all involved. The Ministry of Revenue corruption case has just been settled. This is a perfect opportunity to counterattack, and there is even a chance to drag the Chen family into it. In the end, Zhou Jingan gave up so easily."

Shangguan Yunfei frowned even deeper, "What do you mean..."

Lin Jingzhu narrowed his eyes, a cold light flashed across them, "This Mr. Zhou seems to be very afraid of being associated with the demon race."

……

It's getting late.

The night fell, like a huge piece of black silk, weighing heavily over the capital.

The rain continued unabated, and the big raindrops hit the green tiles, making a dense "crackling" sound.

Chen Mo squatted on the roof of Mingcui Tower, almost blending into the night, silently staring at the black sedan in the alley.

After a long time, Zhou Jingan, dressed in blue brocade clothes, got off the carriage. The guards behind him held umbrellas and walked towards the Zhou Mansion.

"I didn't come to you, but you came to me..."

The corners of Chen Mo's lips were raised, and his eyes were deep.
