Duanmu Yuanwei was silent for a moment after hearing this, then stared at Chai Yan and asked: "Chai Secretary, this matter is not trivial. You have to think about it carefully... Even if you can't see your face, do you have any characteristics?
...Such as moles or birthmarks..."
"Characteristics?" Chai Yan thought carefully about it for a while, but in the end he shook his head when he replied to Duanmu Yuanwei: "Master Duanmu, those four people's bodies are very similar, and there are no obvious characteristics!"
Duanmu Yuanwei was immediately in trouble. He patted his thigh and said: "There are no clues at all. How can we find this? Alas..."
Chai Yan did not answer Duanmu Yuanwei's words, but just sat quietly. After all, neither the prince nor the princess asked for help in tracking down the assassin.
Seeing that Chai Yan remained silent, Duanmu Yuanwei had no choice but to take the initiative and said: "Chai Secretary, do you have any clues about the hunt for these four assassins?"
Chai Yan shook his head decisively and said, "No."
Duanmu Yuanwei was speechless for a moment. He really didn't expect Chai Yan to answer so simply. It would be too shameful if he continued to shamelessly make requests and then be rejected!
--------------------------
At the same time, somewhere in the Wude Department, Di Chu and Pu Junxiong were walking side by side to Duanmu Yuanwei's office.
Pu Junxiong suddenly asked: "Old Di, I just don't understand. Didn't you say that the lion was bound to die? How could it just... be fine again?"
Di Chu got angry when he mentioned this, and immediately said with dissatisfaction: "Don't ask me, I don't know!"
Di Chu learned the news that the lion had been returned to the palace safe and sound in Changyuan County. At that time, he questioned Pu Junxiong and complained that he had bad ideas, listened to the words of quack doctors and gave away his great achievements to others!
Pu Junxiong apologized and had to apologize and said with a smile: "Old Di, don't be angry... I've already been too modest..."
Di Chu said nothing and continued walking forward.
Pu Junxiong followed Di Chu closely and said: "Old Di, to be honest, compared to transporting the lion back to the capital, our real achievement is to take over the secret cult branch in Yuanyuan County this time. Even though the secret cult in Yuanyuan County is
The leader of the church failed to be caught, but he still caught Liu Tong..."
Di Chu glanced at Pu Junxiong and said disapprovingly: "Liu Tong is so useless! He is just a puppet who was bewitched by the secret cult. He has never even seen the face of the leader of the branch!"
Pu Junxiong suddenly stopped Di Chu, leaned close to his ear and whispered: "Old Di, Liu Tonghao has gone crazy anyway, it's not up to us to decide who is the leader of the secret cult...
.”
Di Chu didn't say anything. He stood there and thought for a moment, then asked: "It's easy to talk to Master Duanmu here, but it's not easy to communicate with the Emperor..."
"Why is it so difficult to communicate..." Pu Junxiong felt that the sound was a bit too loud, so he quickly lowered his voice and said: "Old Di, Liu Tong was secretly taught to control time. This is indisputable.
As long as we report the facts to the emperor truthfully, there will be no problem!"
Di Chu thought about it for a while and said, "Let's hear what Master Duanmu wants first, and then we can make a decision on this matter!"
"Okay!" Pu Junxiong agreed, and the two of them continued to walk to Duanmu Yuanwei's official room.
As soon as the two of them walked near the official room, Pu Junxiong took a quick look at Chai Yan, who looked like he must have just come out of Mr. Duanmu's house.
Pu Junxiong touched Di Chu and reminded him softly: "Old Di, look who that is..."
"Is it him?" Di Chu frowned immediately.
Chai Yan seemed to sense it. As soon as Di Chu saw him in front of him, he raised his head and looked at Di Chu. Their eyes met each other from a distance of more than ten feet.
But the next moment, Chai Yan's gaze moved elsewhere in the form of a roll of his eyes, and at that moment, the right corner of his mouth was deliberately raised, without concealing the contempt on his face.
In an instant, Di Chu became angry. He was also a minister after all. You, Chai Yan, were just a small official looking at the library. How dare you blatantly despise the superior in public!
Before Chai Yan could reach him, Di Chu stepped forward to meet him, pointed at his nose and shouted: "Chai Yan, stop!"
Chai Yan raised his brows and stopped. He dug his ears with his little finger, looked away and said lightly: "Hey! It's the two envoys who are back. Some of them are far away, and some are far away.
......."
"Chai Yan, what's your attitude? How dare you be so rude when you see Shangguan?" Di Chu said angrily.
Pu Junxiong didn't say anything, he just followed Di Chu and glared at Chai Yan angrily with his hands behind his hands.
Chai Yan showed no fear, glanced at Di Chu with his eyes, and said: "Chief Di, can you please speak in a lower voice? Your voice is useless, and the sound you just made shook the wax out of my ear. Please continue."
If you do, your ears will go deaf..."
After saying that, Chai Yan deliberately picked out his ears twice more. In Di Chu's opinion, he deserved more beatings than he deserved.
Pu Junxiong hurriedly stopped Di Chu who was about to get angry, looked at Chai Yan and said sternly: "Chai Yan, you still don't salute Di Chu!"
"Salute?" Chai Yan curled his lips and asked, "Why? He is not my boss, so why should I salute him? My boss is Cheng Huahan, Chief of Staff!"
"Why? Just because I am the envoy and you are the official!" Di Chu was very angry and wanted to use his rank to suppress Chai Yan.
Chai Yan looked surprised, spread his hands and asked: "Does the Wude Division clearly stipulate that those with lower ranks must salute those with higher ranks? As long as you find it, I will salute you immediately!"
"..."
Di Chu and Pu Junxiong were immediately speechless. Wu Desi really didn't have such an express clause. It had always been self-behavior caused by class differences!
"Since there is no such rule, then I'm leaving, I'm leaving, I'm really leaving...Two of you, say goodbye...hehehehe...
..”
Chai Yan smiled mischievously and walked away without looking back...
Di Chu's lungs were about to burst with anger when he saw this. If Pu Junxiong hadn't held him back several times, Di Chu might have actually drawn his sword and struck him head-on!
Pu Junxiong patiently advised: "Old Di, don't be as knowledgeable as him! He is deliberately irritating you because His Highness the Crown Prince is supporting him... If you do it, you will fall into the trap. He is
I’m complaining about Hang Baiqiu!”
Di Chu thought it made sense, so he tried his best to suppress his anger and quickly calmed down.
After a small interlude, the two came outside Duanmu Yuanwei's official room.
As soon as Duanmu Yuanwei saw that they were coming, he immediately stood up and said: "Shishi Dis, Shishi Pu, you are here at the right time. I happen to have something to see you!"
Pu Junxiong glanced at Di Chu and asked, "Sir, do you want to know about Liu Tonghao's collusion with the secret sect?"
"No..." Duanmu Yuanwei shook his head, and then said: "It's another thing, a big thing!"
"Sir, please tell me!" Di Chu frowned and his expression suddenly became serious.
Duanmu Yuanwei said in a solemn tone: "The Emperor has an order, ordering you two to find out the mastermind of the assassination of His Royal Highness within seven days. There must be no mistake!"
