"Find the mastermind?" Pu Junxiong couldn't help shouting immediately: "Sir, did I hear it wrong, or did you say it wrong?"
Duanmu Yuanwei looked very serious: "Pu Sishi, you heard it right, and I said it right, the mastermind will be found out within seven days!"
"This...how do we check this? And it's only seven days..." Pu Junxiong complained greatly.
Di Chu raised his hand and said with a troubled expression: "Sir, after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was assassinated yesterday, the four masked assassins have fled without a trace. It is already very difficult to hunt down the four of them, let alone find out the mastermind behind the scenes.
Yes, seven days... I'm afraid it's not enough, sir!"
Duanmu Yuanwei sighed with his hands behind his hands and said slowly: "Hey, Commander Di, how could I not know what you said? But this is the emperor's order, we have to obey it!"
Pu Junxiong was a little puzzled and said: "Sir, Lao Di and I have just returned from Changyuan County. Why does the emperor arrange errands without letting us rest for two days? Isn't there Li Dachui at home? Taishu is happy to have them...
....”
Duanmu Yuanwei said: "Prince Pu, you are right! In fact, it is His Highness the Crown Prince's request to let you two go on errands!"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince?"
Di Chu and Pu Junxiong expressed doubts in unison, and their eyes met.
Then, Duanmu Yuanwei told Di Pu and Di Pu about the letter written by His Royal Highness the Prince to the Emperor.
After learning the true situation, Pu Junxiong understood why, and his face immediately darkened: "Sir, His Highness the Crown Prince is deliberately digging a hole for me and Lao Di!"
Di Chu said nothing and lowered his head slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Duanmu Yuanwei frowned and walked around the room for a few steps with his hands behind his back. Suddenly he turned around and said, "Sir Pu, what you said is wrong! The Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince believe in your ability, so they let you two do it.
For such an important errand, you must not let down the holy will!"
"My lord, what I said is that my subordinate said the wrong thing!" Pu Junxiong immediately apologized with his hands in hand.
Di Chu probably thought it through clearly, so he cupped his hands and said, "Sir, I accept your orders!"
"My subordinates take orders!" Pu Junxiong also followed.
Duanmu Yuanwei nodded and said consolingly: "Shishi Di, Shishi Pu, of course I understand that this job is difficult to handle, but don't worry too much, just try your best to check it out!"
"Thank you, sir!" they both thanked in unison.
Duanmu Yuanwei nodded again, stretched out his hand and said: "Sit down quickly, you have been standing for so long... Come here, serve tea!"
Soon, someone brought hot tea to Di Pu and his wife.
At this time, Duanmu Yuanwei had already sat back at his desk. After the tea server left, he said, "Now let's talk about Liu Tonghao's case in Yuanyuan County..."
Pu Junxiong immediately took over the conversation and said what he had discussed with Di Chu on the way here. Fortunately, Liu Tong became the leader of the dark sect branch in Yuanyuan County in his mouth, so he set fire to the inn that day, and then took advantage of it.
The mastermind behind the random abduction of the lioness!
During the whole process, Di Chu didn't say a word, just letting Pu Junxiong use his eloquence to say everything that needed to be said.
After listening, Duanmu Yuanwei asked doubtfully: "Why is Liu Tonghao doing this? What is he trying to do?"
Pu Junxiong said: "Sir, I heard that Liu Tong's wife and children have been secretly controlled by the dark sect. Even he himself has been poisoned by the evil sect. To put it bluntly, he is a puppet!"
Duanmu Yuanwei nodded solemnly and asked: "I don't quite understand why Liu Tonghao wanted to kidnap the lion. What is their purpose?"
Pu Junxiong thought for a while and said: "Sir, before Liu Tonghao's attack of madness, I remember he mentioned that the Dark Cult needed the flesh and blood of lions to refine a magical elixir. It is said that after success, only
One pill can extend a person’s life by dozens of years!”
"That's nonsense!" Duanmu Yuanwei was shocked when he heard this, but he still sternly rebuked: "How can you believe the evil cult's words? How could there be such a pill in the world?"
"My subordinates think so too!" Pu Junxiong first agreed with Duanmu Yuanwei's point of view, and then continued: "In any case, the lion has not fallen into the hands of the evil cult, and their conspiracy will not succeed!"
"Yeah." Duanmu Yuanwei made a sound of approval.
Next, Duanmu Yuanwei remembered a person and asked Di Chu: "Shishi Di, are you sure that the hundred-year-old Taoist has nothing to do with the secret sect?"
Di Chu put down the tea bowl and said seriously: "My lord, my subordinates and the Pu Secretary have carefully investigated Qingfeng Temple and found no connection with the dark sect. Moreover, my subordinates have arranged spies to monitor them before leaving. If there is any abnormality, the subordinates will be
You'll get the news as soon as possible."
Pu Junxiong immediately shook his head and said: "Old Di, you are curious about why Master Qingfeng lives so long. Could he have taken that kind of evil pill..."
Duanmu Yuanwei nodded, and Pu Junxiong expressed his true thoughts.
Di Chu shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be possible. My subordinates have secretly observed that Taoist Qingfeng practices Qigong every morning and evening. His diet is also very light, and he is even more moderate and regular in other aspects. This is probably the reason for his longevity."
Duanmu Yuanwei thought for a while and warned: "In short, you must send someone to keep an eye on Qingfengguan. If anything unusual happens, take action immediately!"
"I understand," Di Chu promised.

On the other side, after provoking Di Chu, Chai Yan did not go back to the library, but went to find Sun Xingba.
Sun Xingba was just about to go home after his shift, when he saw Chai Yan appearing in front of him, he suddenly felt very strange.
"Chai Yan? Why are you here..." Sun Xingba asked.
Chai Yan invited cheerfully: "How about I treat you to a drink? Are you interested?"
Sun Xingba didn't ask why, and immediately responded: "Yes, there are many! Where can we drink?"
"what ever!"
After Chai Yan finished speaking, he and Sun Xingba walked towards the door.
Sun Xingba chose the reception building nearby, and the two found a private room and started eating and drinking.
"Chai Yan, you came to me because you wanted to ask for news about those people from the Western Regions, right?"
While talking, Sun Xingba was holding a whole chicken and tearing it into pieces, looking like a big hungry ghost.
Chai Yan followed the words and asked, "How is your inquiry going? Do you have any news?"
"No..." Sun Xingba shook his head bluntly. Seeing Chai Yan's face turned ugly, he immediately added: "Don't worry, I really asked someone to inquire, but there is no such place near the capital.
From the news about the people from the Western Regions, I guess it is that you defeated them in the ring last time. They were afraid that you would come to their door, so they ran away to hide from the limelight..."
As soon as Sun Xingba finished speaking, he started to bite the chicken vigorously again.
Chai Yan rolled his eyes and shook his head helplessly, sighed and then said domineeringly to Sun Xing: "I met Di Chu and Pu Junxiong just now..."
