After hearing Da Qiao's information, an idea flashed through Diao Chan's mind. Since the people Cao Cao left in the dark were in the dark, it was normal for them to have no whereabouts. But if they had no whereabouts, were they secretly hiding in Chaisang City? Or where did it go? Was he even killed? Moreover, Li Ru and Diao Chan had almost forgotten this person, but didn’t the original Li Ru disappear suddenly too! If you think about it carefully, if Li Ru really escaped on his own as the world thought, and later Li Jue and Guo Si reoccupied Chang'an, why did Li Ru still not show up? There is always a place for him there!
Is there any connection between Li Ru's disappearance and Sun Jian's disappearance?
Also, why are the Yellow Turban thieves operating here? If Sun Jian's disappearance was related to the Yellow Turbans, they should have moved long ago. Why should they stay here and be suspected?
Finally, Diao Chan looked at Da Qiao again, and could not rule out the suspicion that Da Qiao deliberately released these seemingly related information to confuse the public.
Chai Sang's fog not only did not dissipate, but instead deepened.

This side,
"Third uncle, what do you mean, let's put on a play and pretend to have found important clues to lure the snake out of its hole?" Sun Quan and Sun Jing were sitting in an inconspicuous private house.
There is only one Yu'er beside Sun Quan. After all, Lejiu and others are Yuan Shu's people and are not qualified to hear these secrets. Speaking of which, now all parties seem to have acquiesced that Yu'er is Sun Quan's personal bodyguard. The top masters are always protecting her. There are only a few princes who receive this kind of treatment. On Sun Jing's side, there are all the core members of the Sun family from his lineage, including his eldest son Sun Hao. If Sun Jing is reserved and looks like a hermit, Sun Hao is young and energetic, with a passionate spirit. In this aspect, Sun Hao is somewhat similar to Sun Quan's eldest brother Sun Ce, but I don't know if there is a big difference in talent between the two.
"That's right." Sun Jing nodded, "The current clues are not enough for us to continue the investigation. The reason why I deliberately concealed myself before was just to see if anyone would secretly cause sabotage."
"Since Third Uncle has already thought about luring the snake out of its hole, why did he wait until now to take action?" Sun Quan suddenly asked. This seemingly casual question instantly suffocated the atmosphere at the scene.
Yu'er next to her almost scolded her. If you say you Sun Quan, if you doubt Sun Jing, just doubt Sun Jing. Why would you say it directly on someone else's territory? I have never seen your emotional intelligence so low! Yu'er almost wanted to grab Sun Quan's collar and escape from the room.
Sun Jing was stunned, probably not expecting that Sun Quan would actually say such words to his face.
Yes, if Sun Quan had already planned to come, then it would be okay for Sun Jing to wait for Sun Quan, but Sun Quan escaped from Yuan Shu and rushed directly to Chaisang. Who could have predicted this in advance?
Sun Jing didn't reveal any useful clues during his investigation, and he kept delaying taking action. This made it difficult not to make people doubt his motives. Now that Sun Quan is here, he is about to lure the snake out of its hole. Is this a deliberate act to show to Sun Quan?
"What do you mean!" The grumpy Sun Hao stood up on the spot and glared at Sun Quan. So what if Sun Quan is from the same family? Not to mention that Sun Jian is no longer here, even if Sun Jian is still here, Sun Hao still dares to attack Sun Quan!
"Hao'er, sit down." Sun Jing immediately shouted to Sun Hao.
"Dad! Others are bullying us!" Sun Hao shouted.
"Hahaha, just the opposite." Sun Jing laughed suddenly, "Zhongmou raised such a question, which proves that he can trust us. Otherwise, with his intelligence, he would say it in person? Some things, if they have been buried in In my heart, if no one talks about it, the misunderstanding will only get deeper and deeper, and in the end there will be no chance of reconciliation." Sun Jing explained Sun Quan's motives to Sun Hao and others, which also resolved the embarrassment just now.
Of course, Sun Jing's own embarrassment was relieved, but the young and energetic Sun Hao was a bit hard to get off.
"Brother Hao is quick to talk. If it were me, in the same position, I would be angry." Sun Quan took the initiative to speak.
Sun Jing winked at Sun Hao. Seeing this, Sun Hao, although not convinced, had no choice but to hug Sun Quan.
"Brother, I was reckless. I apologize to you."
After saying that, he sat down again.
"Okay." Sun Jing smiled slightly, "Now let me answer Zhong Mou's question. Since it is called to lure the snake out of the hole, it is natural to make sure that the snake is in the hole first. Until earlier today, Cihang Jingzhai's When people enter the city, all the candidates who are most suspenseful have finally arrived."
Cihang Jingzhai is the biggest suspect. The snake didn't even come, how do you lure the snake out of the hole? Therefore, it was not that Sun Jing deliberately delayed time, he had been waiting for this day.
"Oh? The people from Cihang Jingzhai just came today?" Sun Quan said unexpectedly. Of course, everything happened now in Sansi's illusion, otherwise Sun Quan would not have risked asking such a question just now. But now, some The steps that need to be taken must still be taken.
"They probably want to prove that they are self-righteous." Sun Jing speculated, "In the current situation of Chaisang, it is definitely impossible not to come, and people will definitely be suspected. But if they come too early, there will be evidence of destruction. So I guess Cihang Jingzhai deliberately delayed his arrival until the end."
"Huh, who are you acting for?" Yu'er couldn't help but snorted coldly.
"Based on my understanding of Shi Zimiao, I don't think Cihang Jingzhai is acting." Sun Jing said.
Yu'er raised her eyebrows. She never thought that she was Sun Quan's bodyguard, so she never had any consciousness of being a bodyguard. Yes, she was protecting Sun Quan, and even occasionally helped Sun Quan do things, but the relationship between them had always been All are equal. When Sun Quan asked her for help, he had to use invitations and coaxing, not orders. Therefore, many times and on many occasions, Yu'er can say whatever she wants.
"Uncle Sun Quan, from your tone, you seem to be very familiar with Cihang Jingzhai Shi Zimiao, right?" Yu'er said bluntly.
Upon hearing this, Sun Hao over there almost jumped up again.
"I can't say we are familiar with each other, but we did have some contacts in the past." Sun Jing admitted quite freely, "However, just because I can trust Shi Zimiao does not mean that I can trust Cihang Jingzhai. There are differences between Cihang Jingzhai and Shi Zimiao There are many ideas, and it cannot be ruled out that there are radicals inside who are secretly doing something, so I think Cihang Jingzhai is still very suspicious."
Whether it was Sun Quan's question or Yu'er's question, from the beginning to the end, Sun Jing was not angry, unhurried, and answered fluently and well-founded. This person is thoughtful, quick to react, and has a deep understanding of the city. It is difficult for ordinary people to get clues from him.
"Nothing but Zhongmou."
The gentle smile on Sun Jing's face suddenly faded,
"If we really succeed in luring the snake out this time, what are you going to do?"
"Look to my father first, and then talk about anything else." Sun Quan replied.
"What if your father is no longer here?" Sun Jing asked again.
Even though this was not the first time he heard Sun Jing ask this question, Sun Quan couldn't help but feel a little angry, and the veins on his forehead suddenly popped out.
"Why are you talking!" Yu'er said angrily. I wonder if this kind of thing can't be mentioned in front of Sun Quan now!
Sun Jing ignored Yu'er and just looked at Sun Quan, waiting for Sun Quan's answer. Sun Quan did not answer, took a deep breath, calmed down, and asked Sun Jing,
"Then what does Third Uncle think?"
