After Di Chu had a brief conversation with Pu Junxiong, he looked at Chai Yan and Hang Baiqiu.
Chai Yan clasped his hands on his chest, looked at Di Chu with a half-smile and said, "Shishi Di, I helped you find the lion again, how can you thank me?"
Di Chu's expression suddenly changed: "Could it be that you want another hundred taels of gold?"
Chai Yan immediately replied: "If you are willing to give it, I will not refuse."
"Dream!" Di Chu snorted hard, thinking that you are just wishful thinking.
Chai Yan turned to look at Hang Baiqiu and curled his lips and said, "Sir Hang, look at how stingy he is regarding wealth as his life..."
Di Chu suddenly became angry and said angrily: You guys still have the nerve to criticize me. I don’t know who cares about wealth as much as life!
However, Chai Yan had just helped them find the lioness. He couldn't speak violently, so he tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart.
Hang Baiqiu was secretly amused, but without any expression on his face, he said to Di Chu: "Shishi Di, I hope you can take good care of the lioness in the future and don't let what happened today happen again!"
Di Chu's face was a little embarrassed, but he still replied: "Don't worry, Sir Hang, it won't happen!"
Then, Hang Baiqiu said to Chai Yan, "Let's go."
"Let's go, let's go, I'm so sleepy, hurry up and find a place to sleep..." Chai Yan just started to yawn when he said he was sleepy.
After saying that, Hang Baiqiu and Chai Yan left Qingfeng Temple first.
As soon as the two people's backs disappeared, Di Chu loudly ordered: "Immediately escort everyone in Qingfengguan back to the county government office and put them in jail pending trial!"
"yes!"
Everyone in Wude Si around Di Chu agreed in unison, and then followed Di Chu towards the Qingfeng Palace.
Liu Tonghao was shocked when he heard the sound, and ran over quickly, admonishing: "Master Di, no..."
"Why not?" Di Chu looked unhappy.
Liu Tonghao looked troubled and said: "Master Di, there are at least thirty or forty people in Qingfeng Temple, and the county jail has already held many prisoners. If they are all arrested, I'm afraid...
I'm afraid it won't be able to be locked up, Mr. Di..."
"What?" Di Chu was a little surprised. He thought Liu Tong was interceding for Qingfengguan with other intentions, but he heard that it was because the county jail was about to be full.
Suddenly, Taoist Qingfeng stepped forward and said, "Master Di, this matter has nothing to do with other people in the temple. If there is any responsibility, I am willing to bear the responsibility alone!"
Pu Junxiong whispered a few words in Di Chu's ear, and Di Chu thought for a while before nodding and saying: "Okay, I will do as you wish..."
"Someone, take it away!"
-----------------------
After leaving Qingfeng Temple, Chai Yan and Hang Baiqiu started looking for a suitable inn along the way.
Hang Baiqiu was thinking about something while walking. After a while, he suddenly said: "Chai Yan, could someone want to blame Qingfengguan?"
"Place the blame?" Chai Yan turned around and said, "It's unlikely. Who would have thought beforehand that I could find the location of the lioness? The secret passage is so hidden. If I hadn't calculated the location of the lioness, I wouldn't have killed him.
Can’t find it!”
Hang Baiqiu thought about it, and the possibility of blaming it can basically be ruled out. Besides, what's the point of blaming Qingfengguan? They are just a group of ordinary Taoist priests...
"According to my guess, it should be like this..." Chai Yan said very seriously: "The men in black first set fire to the inn where we were staying, and then took advantage of the chaos when the county government was empty of manpower and robbed the lion.
Since they couldn't leave the city at night, they hid the lion in the secret passage under the Qingfeng Well, probably hoping to wait for the wind in the city to pass before finding a way to move the lioness away!"
"It's a pity that they didn't expect that a character like you would disrupt the situation midway!" Hang Baiqiu nodded, and she also felt that Chai Yan's words made sense.
Chai Yan said innocently: "You blame me? If you weren't so soft-hearted, could I take care of this?"
Hang Baiqiu couldn't answer the conversation immediately, so he had to change the topic and asked: "Chai Yan, if you were Di Chu, how would you investigate this case?"
Chai Yan suddenly laughed: "Hahaha, if I were Di Chu, I wouldn't investigate!"
"Why not check?" Hang Baiqiu was puzzled.
Chai Yan smiled and said: "In Di Chu's mind, the most important thing now is to transport the lioness back to the capital for delivery. Do you think he has time to investigate the case in Changyuan County?"
"Well, it's true!" After finishing speaking, Hang Baiqiu asked: "Aren't you curious about the origin of the man in black? Don't you want to know who set the fire? Also, what is their purpose of robbing the lion?"
Chai Yan said calmly: "I am a little bit curious, but now I am eager to return home. More importantly, I want to go home as early as possible..."
Do you want to go back to see her?
When the words came to his lips, Hang Baiqiu finally held back, but the trace of jealousy in his heart could not dissipate for a long time.
Half an hour later, Hang Baiqiu and Chai Yan finally found an inn to stay in.
At this moment, the lights were still on in the second hall of the county government office, and Di Chu and Pu Junxiong, who had returned, were discussing matters inside.
As for the arrangement of other personnel in the Wude Department, Liu Tonghao was given full authority.
"What? Don't you want to investigate the man in black who robbed the lion?" Pu Junxiong suddenly made a surprised sound, and then said: "Old Di, this is not your style!"
Di Chu said sternly: "Sir Pu, it's not that I don't want to investigate, it's that we don't have time to investigate! Our top priority now is to return the lion safely to the capital. There is nothing more important than this! Do you understand?"
"Understood..." Pu Junxiong nodded rationally. The two of them have imperial orders. Even if they want to track down the man in black, they must first send the lion back to the capital!
Pu Junxiong asked again: "What about Master Qingfeng? What are you going to do? Are you still going to trial?"
"Let's lock him up for now. How can I have the time to interrogate him at this time?" Di Chu said.
Pu Junxiong thought for a while and suggested: "Old Di, how about we set off tomorrow and bring Qingfeng Lao Tao along with us?"
"Do you want to take the person back to Wude Judi for trial?" Di Chu asked.
Pu Junxiong said: "This is one! Second, the secret passage was discovered in Qingfeng Guanjing. Even if Qingfeng Lao Dao didn't know about it, he can't be sure that his disciples didn't know about it... If Hei
The Yiren are really transformed by those stinky Taoist priests from Qingfeng Temple, so they will definitely not allow us to take Qingfeng Taoist away..."
"You mean they will come to rescue Qingfeng Lao Dao?" Di Chu answered.
"If it's as I said, then this possibility is very big!" Pu Junxiong said.
Di Chu suddenly thought of Wuchen, the eldest disciple of Taoist Qingfeng. His martial arts were extraordinary and he was indeed a very suspicious target!
Pu Junxiong said: "As long as we are careful to avoid being ambushed, we might solve the case on the way back to Beijing..."
Di Chu paced back and forth in the second hall, and after thinking about it, he said: "Well, that's a good idea, I'll do as you say!"
Pu Junxiong nodded happily and showed a sly smile.
