I am immortal in history

"It's impossible to lose our eyes like this!"

Duke Chu went downstairs and looked at all the guests carefully, even the woman singing on the stage.

Once, Dongchang tracked a flower picker and allowed him to escape repeatedly. Later, through clues, he determined that the flower picker could transform into a man and a woman, and he was captured.

After walking around, the age, appearance, and aura didn't match each other, and there were no traces found in any corner.

Duke Chu's anger surged, his murderous intention was awe-inspiring, his true energy gathered at his fingertips, and he could kill Chunfeng Tower in just a moment.

Suddenly, a thought came into my mind.

The man I had just seen in the street was screaming in terror at the window.

According to common sense, if a child breaks in first, the man should look towards the door.

Duke Chu jumped back upstairs. When he entered the room, he saw that the bed was empty and no one was there. The man and woman had disappeared.

"Jiejiejie..."

Duke Chu laughed strangely. For many years, no one dared to act or play tricks in front of him, but he suddenly became interested in cats catching mice.

"The ability of this strange object should be to increase or decrease the age, so it can deceive our family and eat the heart!"

Most of the wonders of illusion transformation only change their appearance. The smell of vitality and old age cannot be hidden from the Heart-Eating Old Demon. Only the blood of children full of youth and vitality can make it let down its guard.

"I just don't know if the ability to increase or decrease the age will affect the true age. If I could rejuvenate myself at any time, wouldn't it be a different kind of immortality?"

"Immortality!"

Duke Chu's expression changed drastically, and his figure flashed in front of the window, looking towards the silent and empty street.

"Always remember, there will be reverberations!"

"Taizu, our family has been tracking you for so many years, but we didn't expect to meet you in such a hasty manner..."

I don’t know whether this speculation is right or wrong. Maybe the strange object cannot affect the true age, or maybe it does not increase or decrease the age at all. However, Duke Chu does not care, and will get to the bottom of it even if it is possible.

"What's more, our intuition never fails!"

…

Longqing twenty-three years.

early.

Xie Shaozong, the Minister of Rites, was suspected of robbery and murder. Emperor Longqing was furious and exiled his family to southern Xinjiang.

This major case occurred at the beginning of the new year, and all the officials were shocked. The various amounts that were originally planned to be reported were postponed or reduced, so as not to put His Majesty in small shoes.

During the Longqing Dynasty, beheadings were rarely performed; at most, they were reprimanded and demoted.

On the contrary, the people are not surprised, or they have seen it too much in the past. No matter how good an official's reputation is on weekdays, he is not a good person in private.

This is another house that collapsed!

For most people, the case has ended, but for Dongchang it has just begun.

Du Gongyamen.

Main hall.

Duke Chu sat on the Grand Master's chair, with a portrait of Taizu behind him and an inscription on his head. Twelve stalls in the East Factory bowed to wait on him.

He held two portraits in his hands, one of a child and one of a young man.

The former was drawn through the memory of the refugees, and the latter was drawn by Chu Dugong himself. Even if he only glanced at it, the drawing was 70-80% similar.

"In order to deceive the old devil, the child could not have used the art of disguise. The young man fled in a hurry and did not have time to change his appearance, so these two people must be their true appearance."

"Even if physical skills can move muscles and bones, it can't change too much..."

Duke Chu's eyes flashed with joy and he ordered the left head stall.

"Xiao Xuzi, pass these two portraits on. All Dongchang secret agents must memorize them and report them immediately after discovering them. Don't alert others!"

Dongchang spies are spread across all levels of Daqian, and they have various identities, such as doctors wandering the streets, or old men working in the countryside. They may find traces of Taizu at any time.

"As commanded."

Eunuch Xu bowed to accept the order and exited the yamen.

The leadership of Dongchang are all eunuchs, but not all of them are eunuchs in the palace. The Tiqi and secret agents below have made great achievements. As long as they are willing to remove the roots of troubles, they can be promoted to stalls.

Duke Chu turned his head and looked to his right: "Xiao Yunzi, how is the file check going?"

"Go back to the Governor, all the masters in the world who have a grudge against the Heart-Eating Old Devil are here."

Eunuch Yun took out the booklet from his sleeve and handed it over. It contained information about the relevant masters, some of which were detailed to three generations, and some of which only had names and nicknames.

Those who keep detailed records are heroes. Everyone has a family and business. It is difficult to move the foundation. It is easy to investigate in Dongchang.

Those who only have nicknames are lone rangers. They come and go and are difficult to monitor.

Of course, a hero may also be a lone ranger behind his back. After all, no one has many vests when traveling around the world.

Duke Chu flipped through a few pages and frowned slightly: "Why are there so many?"

Eunuch Yun said helplessly: "Back to the Governor, the Heart-Eating Old Demon has been in the world for many years, and there are countless people who have enemies with him. It can even be said that the masters of both good and evil have enemies with him to a greater or lesser extent."

Duke Chu nodded slightly, closed his eyes and thought for a moment.

"First, according to that person's calculations, if he had been enmity with the Heart-Eating Old Demon for a long time, he would have been eradicated long ago, so the two have a new enmity..."

"Secondly, that person has turned into a child and waited for his chance. He cannot hang around among the refugees for too long. This means that he has a high probability of knowing that... the old devil will commit a crime in the near future!"

"New revenge, crime..."

Duke Chu suddenly opened his eyes, threw the book to Eunuch Yun, and gave instructions.

"Investigate the enemies of the Heart-Eating Old Demon in the past twenty years, sort them by age. The closer they are, the more detailed the investigation must be."

"As commanded."

Eunuch Yun bowed to accept the order. He didn't know why he was investigating the enemy of the Heart-Eating Old Demon.

Duke Chu personally founded Dongchang. After three dynasties and decades of management, it has already become a hall of truth.

The top and bottom of the East Factory were like iron buckets, watertight and motionless. Emperor Longqing sent other servants as governors, and they could not even command a single Tiqi.

"Xiao Luzi, call the criminal department's stake to investigate the cases of missing children in the past two years."

"As commanded."

Eunuch Lu asked: "Duke, what if the case is extremely secret and someone obstructs it?"

"Whoever blocks it is a member of the Heart-Eating Old Devil!"

Duke Chu said in a cold voice: "Your Majesty is kind and generous. In recent years, officials have become more and more rampant and have forgotten our Dongchang's methods. If anyone obstructs the handling of the case, it is time to use them."

"As commanded."

Eunuch Lu looked happy, he wanted this decree.

"Listen, all of you, Dongchang's only goal now is to find the thief who escaped that day."

Duke Chu glanced at his subordinates, coughed slightly, and said quietly: "Our family is old and we won't live long. This position will eventually be passed on to you."

"Whoever can find that person will be the heir of our family and the next Governor!"

"As commanded."

All the stall leaders agreed in unison, their eyes flashed with passion, and they wanted to turn the capital upside down immediately.

The eunuch has no worries and doesn't care about the affairs of men and women, but his overall desires have not diminished at all and have all shifted to the pursuit of power and wealth.

"Back off."

Duke Chu waved his hand, and everyone kowtowed before exiting.

There was a moment of silence.

Duke Chu knocked on the armrest of the seat and asked in the empty corner: "How's it going over there?"

A Taoist figure suddenly appeared in the hall. He was a middle-aged man in his thirties with an ordinary face. He would not attract any attention if he fell into the crowd.

"Everything went well."

The middle-aged man said: "The deputy leader has already refined the blood teeth, and with the masters of the world as a stable blood source, it won't take long to break through to the third level and completely control the world through blood servants."

Duke Chu nodded slightly: "As soon as possible, the Zhenfu Department has been investigating intensively in recent days."

The Tianxia Alliance has annexed the good and evil factions and has become the veritable number one sect in the world. The secret agents of the Zhenfu Division repeatedly reported the news, but all of them were intercepted by Dongchang's hidden stakes.

"Three years."

The middle-aged man said: "In just three years, the alliance leader can integrate all the sects, use the masters as the backbone and the disciples as the soldiers, and build a martial arts formation that is comparable to the imperial army."

"Can't wait three years..."

Duke Chu shook his head and stretched out a finger.

"Our family has received news from the Chamber of Commerce. His Majesty is still thinking about it. He will patrol the south of the Yangtze River next year. It is impossible for all the imperial troops to accompany him. It is a good time to take action!"
