Seeing the man refusing so decisively, He Panjun showed an aggrieved expression, grabbed Li Nanke's sleeve and shook it gently, with a sweet and pleading voice.
"Brother Nanke, please help your sister. You see, we are considered good friends now. I have done so many things for you, why can't you just do the same?
My girl is very well-behaved and will never cause trouble to you and your wife. You can just let her do the housework."
Li Nanke would not be deceived by the other party's appearance.
He Panjun is a very shrewd woman.
Such a woman will give careful consideration to any decision she makes and maximize her interests.
She would not rashly send the sister she cared about most to the house of a man she had only met a few times. She must have considered the pros and cons in advance.
In other words, she has investigated and found out that Li Nanke now has Ye Yaoyao, a top expert in his family.
With such an expert here, he can completely protect his sister's safety. So even if the people from the Sky Sect come after him, they don't have to worry too much.
As for whether Li Nanke would bring harm to her sister, she didn't have to worry about that.
Through getting along with her, she probably also understood that Li Nanke was a man who was "afraid" of his wife. As long as he put his sister under Luo Qianqiu's nose, Li Nanke would not dare to touch her even if she had a hundred courages.
I have to say that He Panjun's wishful thinking was very accurate.
But it's a pity that the man I'm facing is also a smart man.
Li Nanke saw through at a glance that the other party wanted to use him as a tool, so he decisively refused.
Of course, there is indeed no room for too many women in the family.
"If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. Either you go discuss it with my wife. Or hide your sister in a safer place."
Li Nanke's tone left no room for negotiation.
Realizing that the plan was hopeless, He Panjun gave up the idea and muttered in a low voice: "If it doesn't work, forget it. I can't bear to let my sister get close to you, such a playboy."
"Anyway, after this transaction is completed, we don't owe each other anything, so don't bother me."
Li Nanke stared at the woman's delicate face seriously, "To be honest, I don't like dealing with women like you. It's too tiring to play tricks with you, do you understand?"
Listening to the man's words, He Panjun's eyes were watery, and his voice was intimate and charming, "Brother Nanke, if you like stupid women, they can also become very stupid."
"roll."
Li Nanke pushed the woman away and strode away.
He Panjun stamped his feet angrily, "Brother, are you a man? Can't you see that I am a stunning beauty? You are so gentle to that person named Meng Xiaotu, why can't you be gentle to me?"
Li Nanke said without looking back:
"In the afternoon, you go to the White Lion Forest to guard the Shen time. Whether you can attract the dragon guards depends on your luck."
"Ha~ man."
He Panjun looked like he was retching at the opponent's back.
…………
Arriving at the Night Patrol Department, Li Nanke went to the case library to investigate the Hongyu theft case three years ago.
Regardless of whether that case is related to Yuan Zhenzhen's death, judging from the few clues provided so far, the Hongyu theft case is indeed suspicious.
Especially my uncle suppressed the case.
Who is he protecting?
But unfortunately, Li Nanke rummaged through all the information on the cabinets and found very few clues.
The content of the recorded case is also very simple.
It's just that on April 21, the 25th year of Tianwu's reign, a case of red rain theft occurred in the Night Patrol Department. Later, the stolen red rain was recovered and the case was closed.
The case file does not specify how much was lost or who stole it.
After leaving the case library and returning to the small courtyard of the Suzaku Department, I happened to meet a member of the Night Patrol Department. When the other party saw him, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master Li, Chief Niu asked me to come to you. Please come over."
Is this old guy looking for me so soon?
Li Nanke looked surprised, nodded and said: "I know, I'll be there right away."
After sending the other party away, Li Nanke first went to Leng Xinnan to ask about what happened three years ago, but the woman was not there. After asking Caiyun, he learned that Sister Leng had gone out.
So Li Nanke came to Niu Daru's office.
In the slightly dark room, in addition to Deputy Chief Secretary Niu Daru, there was also the Xuanwu Department supervising Yu Shengtian.
Niu Daru's spirit doesn't look very good.
The light blue robe looked dusty, as if the smell of mold could be smelled from a distance. The square face was full of exhaustion, and the hood covering his left eye was also a little crooked.
It happened that Yu Shengtian had finished reporting the case and when he saw Li Nanke arriving, he stood up and said: "These are the specific circumstances. I will explain it if there is any progress."
"Okay, if Mr. Yuan is in trouble for you, you can come to me."
Niu Daru motioned to Li Nanke to sit on a chair aside, dropped the remaining water in his tea cup to the ground, and said to Shengtian.
Yu Shengtian hummed and left the room.
Before leaving, he nodded to Li Nanke, with no extraneous expression on his face. He was as indifferent as a machine with no need for emotion.
"What have you been busy with these two days?"
Niu Daru threw the tea box over and said, "I want to drink tea and make it myself."
Li Nanke hurriedly caught the tea leaves, put them on the table and said with a smile: "I'm not busy with anything, I'm just wandering around."
"Lao Leng must have given you a life, right?"
Niu Daru's smile was a bit self-deprecating, "I hope I don't ask you to investigate me."
Li Nanke's heart skipped a beat and he pretended to be surprised, "Chief Niu, what you said is going to scare me to death. Don't say that Sir Niu didn't explain it, even if he did, I wouldn't have the guts."
"You even dare to scold the dragon guards of Tiangang Disha, how dare you still have the guts?"
Niu Daru snorted coldly.
Li Nanke rubbed his hands and smiled.
However, Li Nanke was full of complaints in his heart. Whether it was Li Donghai or Niu Daru, they were both thieves like foxes, always testing the waters.
That is to say, it would be impossible for him to be investigated by anyone else.
"November 10th."
"What?"
Li Nanke raised his head and looked at the other party in confusion.
Niu Daru used his fingers to pick out the tea leaves in the cup and put it into his mouth. While chewing, he said: "Xuanyuanhui has a deal with the underworld, and it will be on the 10th."
Li Nanke's expression showed a hint of astonishment, and he was shocked inside.
"Why, Lao Leng didn't tell you?"
Niu Daru glanced at Li Nanke, his single eye flashing with an unpredictable light.
Li Nanke didn't know how to answer for a while.
Regarding the date of the transaction between Hell and Xuanyuan Hui, undercover Wen Wu secretly told him, but now Niu Daru made it clear, indicating that many people knew about it.
Even the time given by Niu Daru is more accurate.
In this case, would Shi Yan still risk trading?
"Lao Leng doesn't trust anyone, including me." Niu Daru said this obscure matter without hesitation, looked at Li Nanke calmly and said, "But it doesn't matter, he trusts you, then I trust you too, so there is something
I won’t hide things anymore.”
Li Nanke said with a smile: "Director Niu is overthinking it. I don't know whether he trusts you or not, but we members of the Night Patrol Department trust every adult in the department."
"Including Li Donghai?"
"Well……"
Li Nanke was speechless for a moment.
"Sitting in this position, it is not an easy thing to gain trust."
Niu Daru closed the door, and the already dark room became even darker, with a bit of unspeakable depression.
He sat back on the chair, hid his body in the shadows, and continued: "There have been many traitors in our Night Patrol Department, who were motivated by money, sex, power, and so on, so it was difficult for them to trust each other.
And to put it bluntly, the higher-ups are happy to see us being suspicious of each other like this.
I used to have a very good relationship with Lao Leng, but unfortunately because of some things, we both had our own opinions. Gradually, a wall grew between us."
Listening to the helplessness and sadness in Niu Daru's tone, Li Nanke remained silent.
He didn't understand Niu Daru.
Since you don't understand, you can't act emotionally and get into the other person's emotions.
Who knows if this is a bait for the other party.
No one who can get into a high position is a fuel-efficient person, and they can put down the trap for you to get in without even realizing it.
"I need your help, Xiao Li, for this operation."
Niu Daru returns to the topic.
Li Nanke said: "Don't worry, Director Niu, I will definitely obey your arrangements."
"Well, I will make arrangements for you when the time comes. This operation is relatively secretive, so there will be fewer people participating in the operation."
Niu Daru leaned forward slightly, his sharp eyes piercing Li Nanke's nerves like a thorn, "I will give you enough power to select people and choose a few trustworthy people."
Is this a move to dump the blame?
Li Nanke frowned slightly.
Niu Daru seemed to have guessed what Li Nanke was thinking, and said calmly: "I am the person in charge. Any mistakes will be borne by me. I will not blame you."
"oh."
Li Nanke scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.
"Is there anything else you want to ask?"
Niu Daru issued an eviction order.
Li Nanke pursed his dry lips, hesitated for a few seconds and asked in a low voice: "Three years ago, on April 21st, the 25th year of Tianwu's reign, the Night Patrol Division lost a batch of Hongyu. This item
Do you remember what happened?"
"Remember."
I thought Niu Daru would have to think for a long time before answering, but unexpectedly he nodded without even thinking.
Before Li Nanke could ask further, Niu Daru said: "At that time, the Qinglong Division seized a batch of red rain in Dongqi County. During the transportation to Yuncheng, this batch of red rain was accidentally stolen.
Fortunately, these batches of Hongyu were found again, and Lao Leng suppressed the matter, so the superiors stopped pursuing it."
"that is it?"
Li Nanke felt a little weird when he heard it.
He pulled the stool forward a little, and half of his body was almost pressed on the table. He looked at Niu Daru and asked: "There must be someone responsible for Hongyu being stolen. How was it lost?"
Niu Daru said: "It was a man named Chu Tiange, who was serving in the Qinglong Department at that time. When he was transporting Hongyu, he almost made a big mistake because he neglected his duties."
Chu Tian Ge?
Li Nanke tried his best to recall, shook his head and said: "I don't think I have seen this person on the roster of the Qinglong Department."
"He is already dead. He died on the day Hongyu found him."
Niu Daru said.
died……
Li Nanke was stunned again.
Niu Daru took off the blindfold, rubbed it with his hands, put it back on, and said calmly: "You may want to ask, why did Lao Leng want to protect this person?
It's not because you think about the other person's sacrifice that you become soft-hearted.
But Chu Tiange’s sister is Chu Yunxin, the concubine of the prefect Yuan Changxu. Chu Yunxin was Lao Leng’s former lover.”
"What?"
Li Nanke was completely confused.
This was originally a random clue, but why did such a huge revelation suddenly come out?
Can I eat this melon?
Sister Leng’s melons are what I should eat.
"That's not right, we can't say they are lovers." Niu Daru waved his hand and said, "It's just a one-sided love, but in the end we couldn't get married."
"Can you tell me more about it?"
Li Nanke became interested and even closed the door again to prevent anyone from outside eavesdropping.
Niu Daru smiled and said, "Ask Nan Nan about this, and she will tell you something.
A long time ago, the prefect Yuan Changxu and Leng Siyuan were good friends, and Chu Yunxin was originally the eldest daughter of a large family. By chance, the three of them met.
Chu Yunxin had always liked Leng Siyuan, but Lao Leng had no interest in her, and even the girl refused her several confessions. Later, Lao Leng married Yan Yunfang, and Chu Yunxin married Yuan Changxu as a concubine in a fit of anger.
Although Yuan Changxu was delighted with a beautiful woman, he always believed that Chu Yunxin still had unresolved feelings for Lao Leng. So gradually his relationship with Lao Leng weakened, and the two even became hostile.
Maybe Lao Leng felt that she had been short-changed, so she took great care of her younger brother Chu Tiange.
So now you understand why Lao Leng wants to protect the other party. Once the Hongyu Diao theft case becomes big, his sister will probably be implicated, let alone Chu Tiange."
After listening to Niu Daru's explanation, Li Nanke felt extremely complicated.
Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, the girl has confessed her love to you, so what if you say marry one more?
My sister-in-law Yan Yunfang is not a jealous person either.
Sure enough, there are still good and dedicated men.
However, although he understood the inside story, Li Nanke still felt that something was strange. After thinking for a while, he suddenly found the key point of the problem and asked:
"Were the batches of red rain found later lost by Chu Tiange?"
Niu Daru smiled and asked, "What do you think?"
This answer says it all.
The missing batch of Hongyu was actually not found at that time. What was added later was that it was most likely the help of my uncle.
So where did the missing batch of Hongyu go?
Think about it, the next day, Chu Yunxin's eldest daughter was kidnapped and even became a graveyard dweller.
Could these two things be involved?
After coming out of Niu Daru's house, Li Nanke returned to the Suzaku Department full of doubts.
Leng Xinnan just came back.
Li Nanke followed her into the hut and asked, "Do you know Chu Tiange?"
"We know each other."
Leng Xinnan poured a glass of cold water and drank it. Her beautiful eyes looked at the man strangely, "Why did you suddenly ask about him?"
Li Nanke asked again, "Did your brother have an affair with a woman named Chu Yunxin before?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Leng Xinnan raised her eyebrows and said with an unkind expression, "Don't talk nonsense, my brother has nothing to do with her. It was that woman who liked my brother, but she married someone else if it didn't work out."
"Married to Yuan Changxu."
"Yes."
"Why didn't you tell me such a crucial clue?" Li Nanke's tone was slightly dissatisfied.
"You didn't even ask."
Leng Xinnan looked at the man a little aggrievedly.
