After traveling through time, the adults were completely in my hands

Jinyiwei office.

Xie Xiaohu was standing outside the door at this time, pacing back and forth like an ant on a hot pan. The adults always got up before dawn every day. Today it was already noon, and there was still no movement in the house.

Is he too tired recently and fell asleep? Impossible, Xie Xiaohu shook his head. As the commander of the Jinyiwei, sometimes he could stay awake for days and nights for the emperor's errands. I have never seen him sleep like this after completing his mission.

Thinking of the headache that adults would have on full-moon nights, Xie Xiaohu couldn't help but start to worry. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but knock on the door: "My lord, my lord!"

In the room, Wei Qing was suddenly awakened by a knock on the door. He opened his eyes and found that it was already bright outside. He was secretly surprised. He had always been an alert person and didn't sleep much, so how could he have slept so deeply last night? If it weren't for the knock on the door, he didn't know how much longer he would have slept.

Since taking office as the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Wei Qing has been in a state of high mental tension every day. A deep sleep last night seemed to have released all the stress and emotions that had accumulated before. Wei Qing only felt that his body was more relaxed than ever before.

After putting on his coat and fastening his belt, Wei Qing picked up the embroidered spring sword on the table, pushed the door open and walked out.

Outside the door, Xie Xiaohu saw the adult coming out, and hurriedly looked over with a worried look on his face, only to find that the adult looked energetic, clear-headed, and in an extremely good condition!

"Sir! This morning, the steward of the Shangshu Mansion came over and said that Minister Liu wanted you to come over to discuss something important."

Wei Qing nodded, looked around, and asked, "Where are the golden beans?"

"Still sleeping."

Wei Qing frowned: "Go wake him up and tell him to go to the Shangshu Mansion."

Wei Qing, sitting on his horse in front of the Jinyiwei office, spotted Jindou running towards him in a panic. Judging by his disheveled clothes and hair, he must have just tidied himself up and run away. He was about to yell at him, but then he remembered that it was thanks to him that he had gotten a good night's sleep. He swallowed his words and shouted, "Let's go!" He tightened the reins and rode off.

In the Shangshu Mansion Hall, Shangshu Liu and Wei Qing took their seats. Seeing Jindou still standing, they hurriedly said, "Young master, please take a seat as well."

When Jindou heard this, he hurriedly looked at Wei Qing. Only when he saw Wei Qing nodded did he dare to sit down.

Seeing Jindou sitting down, Lord Liu pondered for a moment and slowly said, "Yesterday, this young master reminded me that someone in this mansion must have caused a grudge with the cat ghost. I asked about it carefully yesterday and found out that it was indeed the case."

As Lord Liu slowly explained the story, Wei Qing and Jindou finally understood the whole story of the feud between Shangshu Mansion and the cat ghost.

It turned out that more than 20 years ago, the wife of Minister Liu gave birth to a son, and the couple named him Zhaoer. However, when the child was born, his whole body was an abnormal white color, even his hair and eyebrows were white, and he could not see the light. Once he saw the sunlight, his eyes would tear up and become red and swollen, so he could only stay in the room all day.

The couple gave birth to such a strange child, and they were afraid that if they made it public, they would be laughed at by others, so they just told others that the child was born weak and could not go out.

After all, the child is the flesh and blood of his mother. Seeing that her son could only stay in his room all day, the wife of the Shangshu was heartbroken. She often secretly sent people out to inquire about some unconventional remedies and then quietly came back to treat her son.

When his son was three years old, a trusted servant of the mansion who had gone out to seek medical treatment came back and said that he had met a Taoist priest on the way. The priest claimed that he had great Taoist skills and could cure all diseases.

When the Shangshu's wife heard this, she was overjoyed and quickly sent someone to secretly invite the Taoist priest into her house.

After seeing the child, the Taoist priest said that the child lacked the color black in his destiny. He suggested that he find a big black cat, the older the better, cut out its heart while it is still fresh, and let the child eat it. The child would then be healed immediately.

When the Shangshu's wife heard this, although she thought it was too bloody, she decided to do it for the sake of her son's recovery. After rewarding the Taoist priest with a large sum of silver and secretly sending him away, she sent several trusted servants out to secretly search for the black cat.

The black cat was soon found, but what the Shangshu's wife did not expect was that after her son ate the cat's heart, not only did his illness not get better, but he began to become drowsy every day, talking nonsense from time to time, and complaining of chest pain all day long. He soon became bedridden.

The wife of the Shangshu had not let the Shangshu know about inviting the Taoist priest. Now seeing her son like this, she was immediately panicked and hurriedly asked her confidants to look for the Taoist priest again, but there was no trace of him.

The Shangshu's wife wanted to cure her son's illness, but unexpectedly the result was counterproductive. The poor child died of the illness after lying in bed for three months.

Twenty years have passed since this incident, and even when Shangshu Liu talks about it, he still can't hide his sadness: "This is all our fault. Not only did it cost my son his life, but it also brought about today's disaster!"

At this time, after hearing what the Shangshu said, Wei Qing and Jindou also sighed.

Alas, this disease does not affect life expectancy at all, Jindou sighed inwardly: This kind of patient is just a little different from ordinary people in appearance. If they take precautions in life, their life expectancy can be the same as that of normal people.

"Young Master," Lord Liu said, bowing to Jindou, "My wife is deeply regretful for what happened back then. But the mistake has been made and cannot be undone. Now I can only ask Young Master to find a way to subdue this cat ghost and restore peace to our mansion!"

Jindou stood up, bowed to Master Liu, and said, "Master! As the saying goes, everything has a cause, and now the cause has been found. Although the black cat is seeking revenge for a tragic death, once a cat ghost cultivates into a demon, it will become extremely vicious, so it cannot be kept here any longer."

Master Liu listened and said with hope: "Young Master, is there a way?"

Jindou counted on his fingers and said, "My lords, tonight at midnight is the best time to catch the monster. Please rest assured, I will definitely get rid of this monster tonight!"

At this moment, as Jindou pinched his fingers, Wei Qing couldn't help but be attracted by this hand and became dazed.

The headaches he had suffered for so many years had made him suffer from a condition worse than death time and time again. The magical power of this hand shocked him so much that he couldn't help but pay attention to it.

"Master Wei!"

"grown ups!"

Following the two shouts, Wei Qing was suddenly brought back to his senses. He then realized that Lord Liu and Jindou were looking at him at the same time, so he quickly straightened his expression and thought to himself: What's wrong with me? I always want to handle the case by myself and I always concentrate, but now I am distracted again and again.

No, this can't go on. Wei Qing tried hard to concentrate and asked Jindou, "Are you sure you can get rid of the demon?"

Jindou clasped his hands together and said, "Sir, I will definitely get rid of this monster tonight!"
