Song Yu didn't understand these professional terms, so he asked bluntly: "So this dress can only be worn by humans, but not by ghosts?"
"That's natural. The Department of Safety is an important organization in the world to resist the White Walkers. How could you not know the cunningness of the White Walkers after they put on their skins and the reason why a thousand-mile dike was destroyed in an ant nest?" Chen Li seemed to be still confused about the identity of the Department of Safety. Very proudly, "The weaving of all the clothes in the Department of Safety is personally supervised by the City Lord. As you can imagine, the City Lord has already set up a defense line and there will be no mistakes."
Song Yu was confused now. For Yongxi State, finding ghosts is much easier than finding spies.
Chen Li was still proud: "So, you should also understand how stupid your actions yesterday were."
Song Yu raised his eyes and looked at Chen Li, but did not refute. The main reason is that it's not necessary. I really lack some information, so I made such a joke. He even understood why the Department of Safety had such a weird attitude towards him today.
It is extremely disrespectful to ask Zhou Qinian to hand over his veins in public. It ignores the special effects of the uniform of the Department of Peace. The fact that Shang Gang went online can be exemplified that the Song Dynasty does not take the city lord seriously...
So what if he is Chen Guogong's nephew? To be able to truly rise to the top of Chen Guogong, one must have an official title in Yongxi Prefecture. The rest of the people either relied on Zhou Qinian or were doing their jobs. Naturally, this landmine in the Song Dynasty can be left untouched and untouched.
After figuring out the key points, Song Yu understood that what he had to do now was to restore his prestige in the Security Department. Otherwise, with the current attitude of everyone in the Security Department towards him, it would be difficult for him to take subsequent actions. Getting mysterious help here is equivalent to cutting off one of your arms for nothing.
From another perspective, Song Yu didn't have much prestige in the Security Department, so perhaps the main thing he needed to do was to restore the relationship with Zhou Qinian. But now that Zhou Qinian is avoiding him, Song Yu can only wait for a more suitable opportunity.
Song Yu knew what he was doing, so he said to Chen Li: "I have heard from Xiao Qi that Liu Huaijun is very cunning, but also very thoughtful and leaves no trace behind. Therefore, he is not guilty of murdering the state leader - —Looking at how ignorant you, the state leader’s cronies, have been in the past few months, I know that you may not be able to find anything if you check according to your own habits."
Chen Li was very dissatisfied with this, but he realized that what Song Yu was talking about was indeed the current situation, so he pursed his lips angrily.
Seeing that the fish had taken the bait, Song Yu continued to lure him: "However, since we have invited the Taoist priest from Jiange to ensure Xiao Qi's personal safety, we might as well try to go deep into the tiger's den."
He paused as he spoke and asked tentatively: "After these four months, Liu Huaijun should have replaced a group of people in the State Lord's Mansion. Do you still have anyone left in the State Lord's Mansion?"
Chen Li only nodded, but did not name those people one by one. In fact, the governor of the state, Qi Baisheng, trusted Liu Huaijun so much that even subordinates like him opposed the idea of allowing Liu Huaijun to stay in the governor's mansion even after he became an adult.
Therefore, everyone was on guard. There were always some people who hid their identities and acted like they could be won over to Liu Huaijun. Although Liu Huaijun still purged many people this time, there was not a single person left in the mansion.
But they worked so hard to hide it, how could Song Yu get the specific information in just a few words.
"With Taoist priest here and our people, the Young Governor will be safe." Chen Li was a little frightened when he said this. Did Song Yu even think of this?
But from Song Yu's playful face, where he was drinking tea and eating melon seeds, Chen Li felt like he couldn't see anything. Chen Li couldn't help but think of a word - unfathomable.
After brainwashing himself in this way, Chen Li became less hostile to Song Yu and more convinced: "Sir Song, what are you going to do next? Is there any use for you in a humble position?"
Song Yu was afraid that his words would appear too abrupt, so he had been deliberately guiding him. Seeing that Chen Li finally took the initiative to give him a pillow for sleeping, he felt relieved and the stone in his heart was finally let go. He immediately said: "Then I will You're welcome. First of all, Xiao Qi wants you to leave Song Mansion to track down evidence..."
He paused awkwardly as he spoke: "I don't think there is any conflict between these two things - of course, I am now notorious in the Security Department, so it is understandable that you think it is more natural to leave the Song Mansion. In order to ensure that you and I Communication will not be blocked, I will give you free permission to enter and exit the Song Mansion, you decide whether to go or stay."
Chen Li nodded in agreement. Qi Rong is now trapped in the Prefecture Lord's Mansion, and he also feels that it is best for him to maintain a stable connection with Song Yu.
"Secondly." Song Yu rolled his eyes and said, "You should know that I sent a corpse to the Security Department before. Whose hands did the uniform that the corpse was wearing come from? Please help me check."
"It's not difficult." Chen Li agreed immediately. Although he was young, he was Zhou Qinian's right-hand man, and it was easy for him to inquire about things in the Security Department. "Lord Song, please ensure me the safety of the Young Governor. This is my humble wish."
"Okay, okay, what should I do if there are too many flags and I can't pull them all out?" Song Yu waved his hand. "I promise, okay? After all, if something happens to Xiao Qi, something will happen to the entire Yongxi Prefecture. I won't let things get to that point."
Chen Li was finally relieved. Seeing his cheerful back as he left, Song Yu touched his chin and even his tone became brisk: "It seems that we can really find out something this time... It's good. It seems that we are in this class today." It’s not a wasted trip after all.”
Jie Nanshi looked at Song Yu silently and poured himself a cup of tea, obviously not intending to answer this childish question.
…
The Song Mansion sent the body of a dead soldier. In fact, Chen Li had quietly paid attention to the fact that the dead soldier was still wearing the uniform of the Department of Peace and Security before Song Yu opened his mouth. Apart from the fact that he himself has a caring temperament, it is also because the young prince of his family is targeted by the dead man! If he hadn't come to Ping'an Division Dianmao during the day, it would have been him, not Jie Nanshi, who had captured that man.
Even... He has actually been dissatisfied with the outcome of that matter. If it were him who took action, he would have to make this dead man vomit out everything he knew, rather than commit suicide by taking poison. Still too young and with little experience.
This matter is not a secret in the Department of Safety. Soon Chen Li will get a copy of the uniforms of the Department of Safety worn by the dead soldiers: "Pingwusu Dinghu... Hey, I remember the name of Pingwu, isn't it?" Are we from Yongxi Prefecture?"
"Isn't that true?" The person who provided the record to Chen Li complained immediately, "Director Qian has already sent the message to Qing Pingzhou where Ping Wu is located, but we haven't received the news yet..."
"Has this matter alarmed Director Qian?" Chen Li was a little surprised.
The name of the manager they talked about was Qian Xiu. He was once a judge of the Department of Security. Unlike the water-skiing judges like Song Yu, Qian Xiu often went out of the city with the guards to investigate strange beasts and ghosts. He had experienced After hundreds of battles, his cultivation level is even higher than that of the current guard leader.
However, Qian Xiu was later seriously injured in order to save others, and his cultivation was damaged, so he had to take medicine every two hours. For this reason, Zhou Qinian specially transferred Qian Xiu from the position of judge and asked Qian Xiu to be in charge of the alchemy room as the supervisor.
To this day, if there are cases that cannot be settled in the judicial office, or the direction of strange beasts that cannot be calculated, they will still go to the alchemy room to discuss with Qian Xiu.
But why did Qian Xiu, a person from the alchemy room, get involved in this matter?
"What's this?" The guards looked at Chen Li with doubts on his face, and found it unbelievable. "Director Qian has always been as worried about matters within the Security Department as Mr. Zhou. I see you, you have been following Mr. Zhou for a long time. Oh, I forgot that our Safety Department also has a money manager!"
Chen Li immediately smiled and slapped back: "What you said is not good. When did Mr. Zhou and Director Qian form a conflict between two factions? It's just that Director Qian is a low-key person. In these years, apart from the alchemy room, he has also been with the judge. We have to deal with it. The distribution of uniforms should be a matter of the warehouse, how do I know that the money manager will ask?"
The guard scratched the back of his head and recalled: "That day, the leader came back angrily to check everyone's uniforms, and finally found out that the man was wearing Pingwu, but no one was wearing uniforms of this size, so he checked I didn’t have to make a registration. Some people said that Director Qian was the most senior person in the department, so I went to ask. Think about it, Director Qian used to hang out with the guards, although he has not been on foreign missions with him in the past ten years. But the affection is still there..."
Chen Li listened to the guards talking for a long time and nodded. He didn't think there was anything strange in this matter - if this was really just a piece of clothes that came from Qingpingzhou, and the person wearing the clothes did not try to attack Qi If so.
When Chen Li left the guard station, the lanterns were already going up in Yongxi Prefecture. He finally thought over and over again and decided not to go to the Song Mansion and to go back to his house in Pianfang. Even if you live in a less prosperous side street, the road is still bustling with people.
Chen Li was single, so he simply found a stall for dinner and had a bowl of noodles as a bento.
The lanterns are getting brighter and brighter in the night, lighting up the way home for the children who have finished school and are playing with little schoolbags made by their mothers.
The stall hawker yelled at the crowds of people, and his words were not so sincere, trying to get a shy scholar whose ears were red to buy a carved hairpin for the young lady next to him that was not worth the money.
When it came time to meet, Chen Li shared a table with rough men doing farm work outside the city. He was eating noodles politely, while the rough man was drinking coarse wine boldly, and he was still cursing the cunning landlord for deducting the tenants' money. The owner of the stall spoke with careless yet pretentious enthusiasm, while handing a bunch of copper coins to the old man delivering firewood.
Liu Huaijun's plot to murder the state leader and the incident involving the strange ghosts in Aoshan seemed to have nothing to do with the fireworks in the streets and alleys.
It seems that even if Chen Li fails to find any clues, it will not prevent the people of Yongxi Prefecture from running their own lives and continuing to live.
