Exile: Empty half of the capital and blow up the enemy's palace

Li Yuanyuan asked curiously, "What happened? Why are there so many police officers on the street?"

Song Wenyin frowned and said, "The streets may not be peaceful today. Let's go home early."

Bai Qianqian said with a serious expression, "With so many police officers and Jinyiwei on the street, something very serious must have happened."

Yun Qingqing listened to their words and thought to herself, this is very serious. What she did last night will definitely cause a sensation in the capital.

Someone nearby heard Bai Qianqian's words and continued, "Didn't something very serious happen? Madam, haven't you heard yet? Last night, the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion, the Minister of Rites' Mansion, the Minister of War's Mansion, the Minister of Revenue's Mansion, the Vice Minister of War's Mansion, and the Vice Minister of Revenue's Mansion were emptied by something unknown, leaving them as empty shells."

As soon as these words came out, Bai Qianqian exclaimed, "Oh my god, is there a demon haunting this capital?"

Song Wenyin and Li Yuanyuan were both shocked.

The man continued, "I think it might be a weasel that's gone mad and emptied out those lords' mansions. It's impossible for a human to empty out so many lords' mansions in such a short time."

Yun Qingqing, who had transformed into a weasel spirit: "..."

Why do we say she is a weasel spirit?

Isn't it about other noble animals becoming spirits?

The people on the street looked at the appearance of so many officials and Jinyiwei, and whispered to each other curiously, discussing what big thing had happened.

Those who knew what had happened whispered to those around them. Everyone was shocked and couldn't believe that such a horrific thing could happen.

"All those who are setting up stalls, go back. You are not allowed to set up stalls on the street today!" an officer shouted.

Seeing this, the small vendors began to pack up their stalls, fearing that if they were slow, the officers would smash their stalls.

"Aunt, candied haws!" Yun Xun ran back excitedly holding two strings of candied haws. The other three little guys each held a string of candied haws in their hands.

Yun Xun handed one of the bunches to Yun Qingqing, and couldn't wait to take a bite of the other one, his face full of happiness and satisfaction.

The three little ones gave the candied haws in their hands to Yun Qingqing. Neither they nor their mother liked candied haws, only their aunt liked it.

Yun Qingqing took their candied haws but didn't taste them immediately. Instead, she said to her three sisters-in-law, "The streets are not peaceful today. Let's go back."

She wanted to go back and ask Xiaobai to help her hide, and then come out to see what was happening.

The three sisters-in-law all nodded in agreement, and so the group got on the carriage and returned to the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion. When they arrived back, it was already noon, and the whole family sat together for dinner. Bai Qianqian told the elder ladies what had happened on the street.

Wu's eyes widened after hearing this, and she said in shock, "How could such an outrageous thing happen! It's really eye-opening!"

Jiang and Xu were both shocked.

"I'm afraid the capital will not be peaceful in the future. Don't go out these days and stay at home." The elder lady had seen a lot of the world. She was only surprised for a moment, then she reacted and warned everyone.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

After dinner, everyone went back to their own courtyards to rest. Yun Qingqing returned to her own courtyard and told Banxia that she wanted to take a nap and asked her not to let anyone disturb her. Then she went straight to the room to find Xiaobai. Xiaobai had already woken up. Yun Qingqing hugged him in her arms, smoothed his fur with her hands, and said gently, "Xiaobai, you must be hungry. I'll get you something to eat."

As she spoke, Yun Qingqing carried Xiaobai to the table and placed him on a chair. Then, she took his special bowl from the space and his favorite can of meat, poured it into the bowl and let him eat. After he finished eating, Yun Qingqing said, "Xiaobai, help me hide. I want to go and see what's going on." She added, "Don't go. If Grandmother and Mother come looking for me, you can help me deal with them."

Xiaobai responded with a "humph" and grabbed Yun Qingqing's hand with his claws. A light invisible to the naked eye enveloped Yun Qingqing, and Yun Qingqing's figure disappeared in an instant. Then she used her wind-based ability to float to Pingyang Marquis Mansion like the wind to watch the excitement.

.........

The atmosphere in the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion was tense and depressing. A large number of officials and Jinyiwei were moving around inside, seemingly searching for some important clues and evidence. Yun Qingqing flew past pavilions and towers, and finally stopped in front of the study in the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion.

In the study, the Marquis of Pingyang, dressed in servant's clothes, with an eye-catching hairstyle and panda eyes, was standing face to face with an old Taoist priest wearing a Taoist scarf and a green Taoist robe. He was thin and energetic, about fifty or sixty years old, holding a whisk in his hand. The Marquis of Pingyang said to the old Taoist priest with a grim expression: "Master Zuo, please make sure to get rid of the monster that emptied my Marquis of Pingyang's Mansion!"

Marquis Pingyang felt that the emptying of his mansion was definitely not done by humans, but by monsters.

This Taoist priest Zuo is recognized as a master of Taoism, and the emperor has great trust in him.

He is very good at getting rid of evil spirits and will definitely be able to help him get rid of that monster!

Taoist Zuo heard this and said profoundly, "My Lord, don't worry. This monster dared to cause trouble in your mansion. I will make sure it never returns."

After hearing this, Pingyang Hou felt a little more at ease. With Taoist Zuo around, he felt at ease. He looked at Taoist Zuo and said, "Master Zuo, do you have any way to make those two dark circles on my eyes disappear? They seem to have been cast under a spell by the demon, and I can't wash them off no matter what I do."

Taoist Zuo looked at the two large dark circles under his eyes and said, "Don't worry, my lord. Once I get rid of the monster, the two dark circles under your eyes will disappear. My lord, I will go back to the mansion to collect the monster's belongings. When I am ready, I will come to the Pingyang Marquis' mansion to start a ceremony and deal with it."

Pingyang Hou responded and said gratefully, "Thank you for your trouble, Taoist Zuo."

"You're welcome, my Lord."

Yun Qingqing was invisible in the air. When she heard the words of the Taoist priest with an ox nose, she curled her lips and thought disdainfully: "Take me in? You old demon Taoist priest, how dare you!"

Watching Taoist Zuo walking out of the study, Yun Qingqing floated behind him like a ghost, intending to follow him back to his mansion, empty it out, and let him taste the power of her "emptying technique".
