"Just now Concubine Tu said that Tu Maocai, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple, has been missing for two days. My concubine at home said that Tu Maocai disappeared two nights ago. He is neither alive nor dead."
"Go check it out and see where it went."
The Tu family finally discovered that Tu Maocai was missing.
Huaiyi, the minister of Dali Temple, saw that Tu Maocai had not arrived at the Yamen to order his meal, so he sent someone to urge him.
Tu Mao was Concubine Tu's brother and was considered a relative of the emperor.
There are times when I am not at work.
Every time Tu Maocai didn't come to the Yamen, Huai Yi would send someone to Tu's house to urge him.
It was the same this time. Huai Yi was so busy at Dali Temple that he was dizzy, but Tu Maocai didn't come, so Huai Yi sent someone to hurry him up.
It was only after Huai Yi urged the Tu family that something was wrong.
The wife, Mrs. Xu, immediately tied up the concubine and asked Tu Maocai where she had gone.
The concubine denied it at first, but the wife, Mrs. Xu, got angry and beat the concubine to pieces.
The concubine couldn't bear the pain, so she decided to deal with what happened that night.
The family immediately found Concubine Tu and asked Concubine Tu to find someone.
Concubine Tu went to the imperial study and asked Li Chengdao to come forward.
Just in time, Yufu Kingdom came, and Li Chengdao asked Yufu Kingdom to handle it.
"The old slave accepts the order."
Yu Fuguo guessed that Tu Maocai might have been killed by the Tianxiahui or went out to fool around.
Tu Maocai likes to hook up with other people's wives, and this fact is known throughout the city.
"What's the matter with you?"
When Yu Fuguo comes to the imperial study, he must have something to report.
Yu Fuguo paid his respects and said, "This old slave has discovered something strange and is here to report it."
Li Chengdao nodded, and Yu Fuguo continued: "There is a passenger ship that travels between Shantou Village and Jinling in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. According to the boss of the passenger ship, a powerful guest arrived in Jinling City a few days ago."
Li Chengdao looked at Yu Fuguo doubtfully and asked, "A guest?"
As a passenger on a passenger ship, what can you say?
Yu Fuguo said: "The boss of the ship said that the man was very powerful and easily eliminated the water bandits on the ship."
"Especially, after describing the guest's appearance, he looks very similar to Long Chengen."
Li Chengdao was suddenly startled and said, "Take it out!"
Yu Fuguo took out Long Chen's portrait from his sleeve and said, "There is also a little girl. They came to Jinling City pretending to be father and daughter."
Li Chengdao looked at the portrait, frowned and said, "You said this looks like Long Chengen?"
Li Chengdao had seen Long Chen's portrait, and he specially sent people to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to draw Long Chen's appearance.
The one Yu Fuguo took out looked nothing like Long Chen except for his body shape.
Yu Fuguo pointed to the portrait and said: "Old slave, I think it looks a bit similar, especially since that person is very clever."
Li Chengdao was a little impatient and said: "I asked you to take charge of the Imperial City Division because I want you to find out the matter."
"You don't even understand this yourself, so you come to report it to me. What do you mean?"
Yu Fuguo was so frightened that he knelt down in a hurry: "This slave deserves to die, this slave is incompetent."
Li Chengdao waved his hand, and Yu Fuguo slowly got up and said, "Your Majesty, Deputy Commander Yan Xi has something to report and is waiting outside."
Li Chengdao said coldly: "Pass."
Yu Fuguo collected the portrait and came out of the imperial study room in a daze.
After the people from the Imperial City Division inquired about the news from the dock, Yu Fuguo felt suspicious and drew a portrait.
Although the appearance didn't quite match him, he felt he looked a lot like Long Chen.
However, after being scolded by Li Chengdao, Yu Fuguo felt different.
"Father-in-law..."
Yan Xi saw Yu Fuguo coming out and immediately came over to ask about the situation.
Yu Fuguo forced out a smile and said: "Commander Yan, the superior commander, go in."
Yan Xi thanked him and immediately entered the imperial study.
"Wei ministers pay homage to the emperor."
"Tell me, what's going on?"
"Just now Wu Yue arrived at the city tower and shouted that he was willing to negotiate peace, and also said..."
Yan Xi was about to speak but stopped, and Li Chengdao said coldly: "Go ahead."
Yan Xi bowed and said, "Wu Yue said that the deaths of the second prince, Haifu and Lianxin had nothing to do with Tianxiahui, but were all caused by Long Chengen."
Li Chengdao sneered: "Now that I know I'm afraid, I still frame Long Cheng'en."
"Ignore it and demolish the Fuyuan Building. The world will no longer need Tianxiahui."
Yan Xi bowed and said, "Wei ministers have received the order."
Yan Xi left the imperial study and immediately went to the north of the city to inform Jiang Hui of Li Chengdao's decree.
Li Chengdao refused to pay attention to the Tianxiahui. This incident was expected, and Jiang Hui prepared for the attack step by step.
....
Honggui Inn.
Long Chen sat by the window and watched quietly as Nanliang's army continued to gather towards the north of the city, preparing for war.
"Why is there no news about Feng He?"
Feng He had been in Jinling City for some time, and Fuyuan Tower was also surrounded and fought several fierce battles.
It stands to reason that if there was a headquarters in the world, it would be time to come out.
But the strange thing is that there is no news at all from Tianxiahui headquarters.
"Does it mean that Tianxiahui has no headquarters at all?"
"Or maybe the headquarters of Tianxiahui is in Fuyuan Building?"
"But if that's the case, where are the masters who escaped?"
Lao Zhang from Sifang Building, Hong Qi from the building, and Lao Qiu from Xifeng City.
Why aren't these people here?
Will the hozen scatter when the tree falls?
"The world is going to end."
Ya'er glanced through the crack in the window, shook her head slightly and sighed.
"Do you think it's a pity?"
Long Chen asked.
Ya'er said: "It's no pity. If they collapse, our chances will be greater, and the Dragon Gang can take advantage of the opportunity to become bigger."
Ji Xianxian has no feelings for Ji Ba, and Ya'er has no feelings either.
"You said, if the world has reached this point, will it still hide its strength?"
Long Chenyaer.
Ya'er shook his head and said: "They are all going to be destroyed, so what strength are they hiding?"
Long Chen felt the same, the Tianxiahui had reached a critical moment of life and death, and there was no point in hiding its strength any longer.
"So, Tianxiahui has no headquarters at all?"
If all the strength of the Tianxiahui is here, it means that the headquarters does not exist.
But Ya'er said: "There must be, the lady said it, she saw it from the account book."
"My lady said that there must be a headquarters that controls all the offices of the Tianxiahui and extracts profits from them."
Long Chen asked: "Where is the headquarters?"
When Ya'er was asked, she could only shake her head and said: "Then I don't know. Anyway, my wife can't be wrong. She is very good at reading accounts."
Ji Xianxian is a money addict. She is really good at reading ledgers and can spot even a missing copper penny.
"Then maybe this headquarters is inside Fuyuan Building. We will know when Li Chengdao gets in."
Long Chen looked at Fuyuan Tower in the north of the city and drank tea slowly.
It's not too big a deal to watch the fun, the harder the beating, the better.
Long Chen was planning how to take advantage of the chaos.
....
When Yu Fuguo returned to the Imperial City Division, he immediately brought over Xia Houlian, the arresting officer.
"The superior gave me a mission, saying that Tu Maocai, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple, has disappeared and Concubine Tu has gone to the imperial study."
"The superior wants us to find out and see which house Tu Sicheng went to hang out with again this time."
Yu Fuguo didn't pay much attention, thinking that Tu Maocai was most likely having an affair.
The reason is very simple, because Tu Maocai has no value, the world will not kill him specially, and Long Chen will not target him.
Xia Houlian said: "Father, I just wanted to report to you that our people found a male corpse outside the city, and it was Tu Si Cheng."
