The next day, Li Nanke received a secret message from Wen Wu, telling Shi Yan that he had decided to take him to trade.
This news was within Li Nanke's expectation.
After all, according to Shi Yan's shrewdness, even if he guessed that there was something fishy, he could only arrange for Wen Wu to accompany him.
After solving Wen Wu's matter, his next task is to find out the mole hiding in the Night Patrol Department, ensure the other party's safety as much as possible, and make the plan go smoothly.
At noon, when Li Nanke was thinking about the case in the hall of the Suzaku Department, Li Donghai, the supervisor of the White Tiger Department, suddenly ran over.
"Brother Li, are you busy?"
Li Donghai still had a smiling expression and was holding a bag of tea leaves in his hand.
"Oh, it turns out to be Mr. Li."
Li Nanke pretended to be surprised, stepped forward and said with a smile: "You look so good today, it seems something good has happened to you."
"There are no good things, but a lot of bad things."
Li Donghai smiled and shook his head. He sat on the chair a little tiredly. He put the tea leaves on the table and pushed it towards Li Nanke, "Come, try the good tea from Tianyou Mountain. It is fragrant and mellow." ,very nice."
"This can't be a bribe."
Li Nanke joked.
Li Donghai was amused: "I want to bribe you with just a bag of tea? Do you look up to me or look down on you, Brother Li?"
"That's good, but I don't really like drinking tea."
Li Nanke put away the information on the table and poured a glass of boiled water for Li Donghai.
Li Donghai didn't care at all. He looked at the steam coming out of the cup and said with a smile: "It's actually good to drink some tea. The sweetness can tonify and soothe, the coolness can clear away heat and relieve fire, and it can also improve eyesight and refresh the mind."
"Huh? Why does it sound like you're being sarcastic to me?"
Li Nanke raised his eyebrows, "Are you saying that I have no brain? Or that I am blind."
"Listen, listen..."
Li Donghai pointed at the other party helplessly,
"I'm just tired of talking to you. I just like to think about it when I have nothing to do. If I had known, I wouldn't have given you this tea."
"Okay, just kidding."
Li Nanke suppressed his smile and asked seriously, "I don't know what business Mr. Li came to see me for? Don't tell me that he is specifically delivering tea."
Li Donghai said: "I've been waiting for you, but you didn't come to me, so I had no choice but to come over."
"I'm looking for you? Why should I look for you?"
Li Nanke looked confused.
Outside the door, Meng Xiaotu came in carrying a paper bag of buns. When he saw Li Donghai in the hall, he hesitated for a moment and did not take the initiative to come forward. Instead, he sat in the corner.
She put the two larger meat buns aside, took out the remaining buns and ate them silently.
"Look at you." Li Donghai said speechlessly, "You have already gone to my house to investigate, so you have to investigate and question me. You can't make me worried all the time."
Li Nanke was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said:
"Master Li misunderstood. Sister Leng and I went to your house to investigate before because of the request from above. But Mr. Souji trusts you very much, so there is no need to ask you again."
"Is this okay?"
"Why not? Sister Leng and I have already investigated Mr. Li's home and there are no problems, so Mr. Li, you can rest assured."
"That's good, I can have a peaceful sleep." Li Donghai breathed a long sigh of relief.
Li Nanke frowned, "Why do you feel like Master Li, you have a guilty conscience? You are on tenterhooks and you can't sleep well, which sounds weird."
"It's okay to be a thief, but if you are worried about a thief, you won't be able to sleep well."
Li Donghai said something meaningful.
Li Nanke didn't answer.
The sudden appearance of the other party made him a little confused, especially now that this guy was being secretly monitored.
Could it be that you want to test something from him?
"Speaking of which, Mr. Souji left in a bit of a hurry this time." Li Donghai asked slowly.
Li Nanke's heart moved, he shook his head and said:
"I'm not sure. Before he left, Mr. Souji handed over the affairs of the Night Watch Department to Mr. Niu. He probably won't be able to come back for a while."
"Are you sure?" Li Donghai asked.
While thinking about the purpose of the other party's visit, Li Nanke said: "Not sure, it doesn't matter to me anyway, I just have to do my job."
Li Donghai sighed, "I planned to confess something to Mr. General Secretary, but it's a pity..."
Looking at the man who was hesitant to speak, Li Nanke was secretly wary.
I don’t know what kind of trick this guy is playing.
He coughed lightly and asked tentatively: "Is Master Li really hiding Hongyu secretly as reported?"
"How should I put it? It was actually the case of Yuan Zhenzhen, the prefect's daughter, three years ago. At that time, Mr. General Si had to do it for... In short, it was all out of necessity. But it doesn't matter, I will deal with the hidden dangers and prevent Mr. General Si from being stained."
After saying that, Li Donghai stood up and left the hall.
Li Nanke was confused.
What exactly does the other party want to say?
Could it be that the case of the prefect’s daughter Yuan Zhenzhen three years ago was related to my uncle?
In addition, what are the hidden dangers Li Donghai mentioned?
Li Nanke couldn't understand it at all.
After thinking for a long time, Li Nanke was too lazy to think. He walked to the corner and picked up the half-bitten bun in the girl's hand and started eating it.
"Hey, I've already left some buns for you, why do you still want to eat them from me?"
Meng Xiaotu stared at the man aggrievedly, her face slightly red.
"Your buns are delicious."
Li Nanke smiled, sat down on the table and asked casually, "How much do you know about the case of the prefect's daughter Yuan Zhenzhen three years ago, and does it have anything to do with the Chief Secretary?"
"It can't be possible. I don't know much."
Meng Xiaotu shook her head.
Li Nanke stretched out his finger and gently wiped off a crumb from the corner of the girl's lips, and said: "I always feel that the reason why the General Secretary was called to the capital this time is related to the case three years ago. The person who impeached said that the General Secretary was covering up He committed a serious crime, is it possible that this serious crime is related to Yuan Zhenzhen?"
"Don't tell me, I can't understand you at all."
Meng Xiaotu laughed to herself, "Even if you go to the market to catch a little rabbit, you're still better than a stupid guy like me."
"You're not stupid, my little rabbit has three big heads."
Li Nanke meant something and smiled evilly.
Meng Xiaotu realized later, her face turned red with anger, she grabbed the bun and was about to throw it at the man, but she still couldn't bear it. She took a breath and said, "I won't let you play with it in the future -"
"What are you playing for? Making noodles?"
"Get away!"
Faced with the man's constant teasing, the girl bared her teeth and claws to push the man.
"Ahem!"
A crisp sound suddenly sounded at the door of the hall.
The two stopped fighting.
Li Nanke turned around and saw that the person who came was wearing dark clothes, short boots, and a half metal mask on his face that shone coldly in the sun.
"Nie Qianhu? You haven't left yet."
Li Nanke was surprised.
Nie Ying said calmly: "What, you want me to leave quickly?"
"That's not true." Li Nanke picked up a bun from the table and handed it to the woman, "Here, eat the bun."
Nie Ying ignored the meat bun in the other person's hand, and her tone was as cold as ever, "I'm here to remind you that the dragon guard is leaving after receiving the order from the palace, and he will not take you away."
"Oh, that's a good thing." Li Nanke smiled.
It seems that the eldest princess has played a role.
But then Nie Ying said: "But when he leaves, there is a high probability... that he will cause trouble for you or your family."
