Guitai's foot stepped on the back of Yu Fuguo's head.
Yu Fuguo replied respectfully: "The people in the Imperial City Department are all watching. Long Chen hasn't come yet. I thought Long Chen must be afraid of the Holy Son Tianwei and dare not come!"
Guitai laughed and sneered: "Afraid of me? Does he know he is afraid?"
Yu Fuguo didn't know how to answer, so he simply stopped talking.
Guitai asked: "How many have been caught recently?"
Yu Fuguo immediately replied: "We caught 13 more and have sent them to Longxing Valley."
Guiti nodded slightly and said: "Okay, send all the people who can be used. When the time comes, a large number of generals will appear on the battlefield. I'll see how Long Chen can deal with it."
Yu Fuguo immediately kowtowed and said, "I understand."
The ghost fetus kept stepping on the back of Yu Fuguo's head, and Yu Fuguo just lay there.
"Holy Son, I have a worry."
"explain."
"What if Long Chen also builds Longxing Valley like the Holy Son, then..."
Before Yu Fuguo could finish speaking, Guitai said: "Impossible, Long Chen, a thief like this, thinks deification is not good, so he won't do this."
The process of ghost fetuses turning people into ghosts is called deification, which is actually the process of demonization.
Yu Fuguo said: "The Holy Son is wise, everything is as expected by the Holy Son."
The ghost child raised his feet and walked to the edge of the pond. It was full of broken lotus leaves and fallen leaves, and the snowflakes fell and melted into the water.
"Won't he come? No, he will definitely come!"
"Immediately send someone to thoroughly investigate Longxing Valley, maybe Long Chen has infiltrated it!"
Guite analyzed Long Chen's past behavior and felt that Long Chen would definitely sneak into Longxing Valley to cause trouble.
Yu Fuguo has never noticed that Long Chen may have sneaked in.
Yu Fuguo immediately said: "My slave, go check it out immediately!"
Getting up from the ground, Yu Fuguo exited the pavilion.
When he got outside, Yu Fuguo rubbed the back of his head and felt that his bones ached.
Just now, Yu Fuguo thought that the ghost fetus was going to crush his head, and he was so frightened that he lost his soul.
After returning to the Imperial City Department in a daze, Yu Fuguo immediately ordered a thorough investigation of Longxing Valley.
When the Yufu Guosha was thoroughly investigated, Long Chen and Chen Lian arrived at the place where Xia Houlian disappeared.
The rain had stopped. Long Chen stood on the hillside, looking at the cliff at the bottom of the mountain, and said, "I ran here when I was overtaken by Peng Mao. He had no way out and jumped from here."
Chen Lian looked down the mountain and said, "Liu Yasi is a tough man. He fell from such a height and survived."
Long Chen said with some hatred: "I was used as bait, what else can I do? Now I don't dare to jump."
Chen Lian smiled and turned to Zhang Yong: "What was the situation like at that time?"
Zhang Yong said: "When we chased him here, there was blood on the ground and there were footprints."
Chen Lian immediately asked: "How many people's footprints are there?"
Zhang Yong immediately replied: "Four, Peng Mao, the chief officer and the deputy chief officer, and Liu Yasi's footprints."
They were spies from the Imperial City Department, and they could see the footprints clearly.
Chen Lian asked: "Are there no other people's footprints?"
Zhang Yong said with great certainty: "No more."
Chen Lian found it very strange, and Long Chen was very sure that he did not see the bodies of the three Xia Houlian people at the foot of the mountain.
That's strange. After the three of Xia Houlian fought here, they disappeared out of thin air?
"What the hell?"
Chen Lian was puzzled and didn't know how to explain.
Suddenly there was a sharp cry from the sky. Everyone looked up and saw a golden eagle passing overhead.
Long Chen suddenly said: "Could it be that the three of them died in battle here, and then their bodies were taken away by birds of prey?"
Chen Lian looked at the golden eagle going away, nodded and said: "It's possible..."
The golden eagles in this world are much larger and can catch prey weighing two hundred kilograms.
None of the three Xiahou people weighed more than 200 kilograms, so it was entirely possible that their bodies were taken away by a golden eagle.
"You must take a trip to the bottom of the cliff, just in case it's down there..."
Chen Lian glanced at Long Chen, who immediately said unhappily: "Siwu Chen, you don't trust me."
Chen Lian smiled and said: "How can you not trust me? We are all brothers."
"Liu Yasi is just guessing. What if they fell and Liu Yasi didn't see it?"
Chen Lian really didn't trust Long Chen. If Xia Houlian fell from the mountain and Long Chen had a grudge against Xia Houlian for using him as a bait and started killing people, destroying corpses and removing traces, things would be different.
Therefore, Chen Lian must go to the bottom of the cliff to find out.
It's been raining here for a few days. Even if Chen Lian went down, he couldn't find anything, so Long Chen wasn't worried.
"Then go down and check!"
Long Chen looked indifferent.
Chen Lian led the people to take a detour and walked to the foot of the cliff. This walk lasted another day.
Standing under the cliff, Long Chen raised his head and said: "That pine tree saved my life. I fell on the tree, and the elasticity of the branches threw me into the lake."
Chen Lian looked at the broken branches and then at the lake, but found nothing unreasonable.
"Look around to see if there are any stumps."
Chen Lian asked his spies to spread out and search.
After searching for a long time, I found no suspicious traces.
Chen Lian asked: "How did Liu Yasi go out at that time?"
Long Chen pointed to the river not far away and said: "Go down the river. There is a place where you can climb up more than ten miles down."
"Let's go. I'll take Siwu Chen out to avoid doubting me again."
Long Chen was about to go into the water, but Chen Lian said: "There's no need. It's not that my brother doubts you. This is an errand assigned by the public servant. We must find out, otherwise it will be difficult to deliver the errand when we return."
"You have also seen what happened to Lao Lutou. We must be careful when doing things."
Long Chen looked up at the cliff and said with some hatred: "Actually, I also want to find them and ask them personally why they used me as bait!"
Chen Lian smiled and said, "You don't want to ask anymore."
In life and death, fathers, sons and brothers can turn against each other, let alone colleagues.
"Go back."
Chen Lian had no choice but to lead everyone back along the original road.
Five days have passed since we left the valley and returned to the Imperial City.
After entering the yamen, Chen Lian went into Yu Fuguo's room to report, while Long Chen went to find Lu Ji.
in the room.
Chen Lian explained the situation in detail. After hearing this, Yu Fuguo asked: "What do you think of this Liu An?"
Chen Lian said with great certainty: "There is a problem!"
Yu Fuguo smiled and asked, "What's the problem?"
Chen Lian said: "This Liu An is full of flaws, but his subordinates can't find any conclusive evidence. There must be something wrong with such a person!"
The Imperial City Division is different from other yamen.
Just like when the government decides a case, there must be conclusive evidence to prove guilt.
The Imperial City Division is different. As long as there is suspicion, no proof is required, and the death penalty can be imposed.
Yu Fuguo smiled sinisterly and said: "You're right. If there is any suspicion, it should be eliminated. However, he is also a talented person. It would be a pity to kill him."
The last time Long Chen demonstrated archery, it really opened Yu Fuguo's eyes.
If such a person is not suspected, the Yufu Congress will train him heavily.
Unfortunately, there are too many doubts about Long Chen.
Daling Town checked from beginning to end and found that Old Man Liu's family were indeed hunters in the mountains and were known to the locals.
But Yu Fuguo still felt strange.
Chen Lian said: "My father-in-law loves talents, but Liu An is too weird. If he stays in the company, he is afraid of something happening."
Yu Fuguo looked at Chen Lian and sneered darkly: "Are you afraid that he will steal the limelight?"
Chen Lian immediately said: "I have absolutely no intention of doing this. My father-in-law is aware of this."
Yu Fuguo smiled and said to himself: "I don't worry about keeping it, but it would be a pity to kill it. What do you think I should do with it?"
