Seeing the depths of Cao Ying's pupils, at this moment, there was a hint of fear.
Liu Yidou couldn't help but rejoice in his misfortune.
Unexpectedly, Cao Ying suddenly called Liu Yidou mid-sentence.
"Huang Xuan, I will give you a task now!"
"Ah? Father-in-law, tell me!" Liu Yidou responded quickly and responded quickly.
Cao Ying's face was deep, and then he said: "From the fact that Cao Shuai was killed, we can see that there must be a person hidden in the outer cabinet. He is probably working for the monster. The empress ran away before, maybe she It’s about this person!”
"From today on, I need you to check the people who have been out recently. If there is any suspicion, you must investigate it as soon as possible!"
"If you can find out the mastermind behind this, I guarantee that you will be put to good use, Huang Xuan... I have given you the opportunity now. Whether you can seize it or not, it all depends on you!"
As soon as Cao Ying said these words, Liu Yidou's eyes couldn't help but straighten.
Father-in-law, do you know that I am the murderer?
If you ask a murderer to catch the mastermind, what do you think the result will be?
Thinking of such a ridiculous decision, Liu Yidou almost laughed out loud in his heart.
However, in front of Cao Ying, Liu Yidou quickly put on an excited look, bowed and said immediately: "Don't worry, father-in-law, from today on, I will definitely try my best to complete your work in the shortest possible time. Things to explain!”
"I promise that as long as I am in the cabinet, a similar situation will never happen again!"
"If I can't do it, I'll come see you next time!"
Anyway, the only crisis now is that Cao Shuai is dead.
In addition to Cao Ying's appointment, Liu Yidou is equivalent to a person below one person and above ten thousand people in the Tongque Tower!
Without a reason to take action, there would naturally be no more chaos.
Only then did Liu Yidou have the confidence to make such a promise in front of Cao Ying.
Seeing that Liu Yidou was quite sensible, Cao Ying couldn't help but nodded.
Then, I thought of the potential crisis.
Cao Ying's heart beat faster and faster, and she warned Liu Yidou again: "Shuai'er's death this time was most likely caused by monsters, and his real target is definitely me!"
"In order to prevent accidents from happening, I'm afraid I will have to retreat in the short term. When the time comes, I will notify you in advance. As long as you perform well, you can temporarily take over the position of general manager!"
Cao Ying promised a huge profit, and Liu Yidou looked happy.
If this day really comes, let alone the outer cabinet, even within the cabinet, he will be able to run rampant!
"Don't worry, father-in-law, I will definitely find out the mastermind behind this before you go into seclusion!"
Even if it was just for the convenience of movement, Liu Yidou made up his mind at this moment.
In a short time, a scapegoat must be found!
Let him bear all these charges and earn Cao Ying's trust in this way.
Afterwards, Liu Yidou flattered Cao Ying for a while. Seeing that Cao Ying's mood improved a lot, he said goodbye.
…
Early the next morning.
In order to fulfill Cao Ying's appointment, Liu Yidou immediately called all the managers of the outer cabinet to his courtyard.
"You must have heard about the accident that happened yesterday. A father-in-law of the cabinet died in the mountain of 100,000 people!"
"The chief manager said that the nature of this matter is very serious, so from today on, no one is allowed to step out of Tongque Terrace!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of discussion in the audience.
"Can't go out of the Bronze Bird Tower? Those ladies can hold it in their mouths. If they can't go out hunting, how can we meet their needs?"
"That's right... Your Majesty, Tiantian, either wants mountain treasures or seafood. What should I do without the treasure of the Hundred Thousand Mountains?"
"Is there any compromise? If you don't serve those ladies well, if they are blamed later, we will all lose our heads!"
Faced with such sorrow, Liu Yidou pretended to be hesitant.
After thinking again and again, he took a step back and said, "Let's do this, managers. After you go back, you can look for candidates. I will give you three days. Within three days, you must prepare all the ingredients for the next three months!"
"In this case, what do you think?"
Although three days are a bit tight, you must know that the meat of one monster beast can meet the needs of the entire Tongque Terrace for a week as long as it is properly kept.
It only takes three months. As long as we arrange more manpower, it may not be impossible to do it.
After hearing this, all the managers nodded and readily agreed with Liu Yidou's statement.
Unexpectedly, in addition to such a request, Liu Yidou's next words aroused everyone's confusion.
"In addition to not being allowed to leave Tongque Terrace, I also hope that all the managers will be able to do statistics after they return... Before this, who has ever left Tongque Terrace and entered the Hundred Thousand Mountains!"
"I hope you can compile a list of your subordinates who meet the requirements and hand it over to me after counting... In addition, as long as the people mentioned on the list are not allowed to step out of the Tongque Tower for these three days, they will be strictly monitored and not allowed to No slack at all!"
As soon as these words came out, all the father-in-laws couldn't help but complain.
Although his eunuchs go out a lot on weekdays, in the final analysis, it is the members of the hunting team who go out more these days.
On weekdays, they are responsible for collecting various ingredients from Shiwanda Mountain. If they are under strict supervision and unable to go out, who should they look for to prepare three months of ingredients?
"I do not care!"
Faced with the complaints from his father-in-law, Liu Yidou showed his selflessness.
"Master managers, if anyone has any dissatisfaction, you can go to the chief manager!"
"Let me explain in advance that this matter is not just my intention, but also the order of Eunuch Cao... If anyone has any objections, just say so and I will report it to Eunuch Cao to see how he will deal with you!"
As soon as these words came out, many managers who originally had sad expressions on their faces fell silent, and there was even more fear in their pupils.
In this Bronze Bird Tower, the name Cao Ying is just like the Wei Emperor of the Great Wei Empire!
Looking at the entire Tongquetai, whether it is the empress or the eunuch, who would not refuse him three points?
When they thought that this matter was actually ordered by Cao Ying, the dissatisfaction in the hearts of all the managers instantly disappeared.
Are you kidding me?
Even if they had ten more courages, they would not dare to go to Cao Ying to hold him accountable!
"Managers, I know how hard you are working, but even I can't help you this time!"
After saying the warning, Liu Yidou spoke again, acting like a good guy again in front of many managers.
"But... I can think of a way for you. In three days, all the managers can join together to organize an elite team and let them go out hunting. It may be able to meet the needs of March."
"Of course, if there is any trouble, I will take action personally!"
"We all work for Eunuch Cao, so naturally I can't embarrass you all too much."
