"Princess, do you still remember how the official solved the 'Liao Army Disappearance Case'?" Su Xian asked.
"Arithmetic!"
Li Youqing remembered, "I remember that Thousand-faced Fox once asked me about the key to solving the case, but I asked him to go north to Youzhou to find you."
"That's right! Thousand-faced Fox is extremely interested in the key to this case, and even agreed to the conditions set by the official."
"What conditions?"
Wang Sima and others were curious and stared at Su Xian with burning eyes. Being able to negotiate terms with the prison chief showed that Su Xian was much more powerful than them.
Li Youqing's eyes also glowed, and she nodded secretly as she looked at Su Xian who was talking eloquently. The more friends Su Xian has, the more help she will have in the future, and the more she likes Su Xian.
Su Xian smiled and said:
"My condition is very simple. I will tell him the key points of solving the case, and he will need to help me do three things! The first of which is to help me defend Youzhou City. Thousand-faced Fox has fulfilled his promise."
"So, Thousand-faced Fox still needs to help you with two things?" Wang Sima breathed heavily. It is an enviable opportunity to be able to owe the head catcher of the Prison Department a favor.
"Su Yuanyi wants to waste another favor by inviting Thousand Faced Fox to the Liao Kingdom?" Li Youqing asked.
"The princess is wise!"
"The favors of the Prison Department are rare. If you waste one, you will lose one... Don't worry, Su Jianyi, I will keep this matter in mind and will repay you in the future!" Li Youqing promised.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Su Xian thanked him, and then said that this was for his own sake, but did not ask the princess to take back the reward.
"Without further delay, Su Youyi goes to look for the Thousand-faced Fox. I and Wang Sima are here waiting for good news." Li Youqing said.
"..."
Su Xian walked out of the Chinese army tent, took Yang Zhilan with him, walked out of the camp gate, and rode straight towards Yingzhou City.
His destination was Lin Mansion, the residence of the Lin Chuan family, also on Dongcheng Street.
Thousand-faced Fox has been hanging out with Lin Chuan these days. They were originally from two different worlds. Under the catalysis of their common "brother" Su Xian and their common hobbies, the two have become brothers with different surnames.
The relationship between them is very good, and they understand each other very well... Speaking of tacit understanding, Luoluo, the new oiran from Pinyu Pavilion in Yingzhou, must have a deep understanding of this...
Therefore, if Su Xian wants to find the Thousand-faced Fox who has seen the dragon but not its tail, he can only go to Lin Mansion and find Lin Chuan first.
Not long after entering the city, Su Xian rode his horse to Dongcheng Street. Su Xian passed through the house without entering. He continued walking forward for a while, and finally stopped in front of the red lacquered copper-nailed gate of Lin Mansion.
"Ouch! Su Consultation is here!" The concierge was startled. While sending someone to notify Lin Youcai, he personally accompanied Su Xian to sit in the front hall.
"I'm here to see Brother Lin Chuanlin." Su Xian explained his purpose.
"Unfortunately! The young master has just left the house not long ago. If Su Zhenyi has something to do, it's okay to ask Alang." The concierge replied.
After waiting for a while, Lin Youcai came running to the front hall. He held his waist as thick as a bucket with one hand and greeted Su Xian with the other hand, panting and laughing:
"The distinguished guest is here... He has never been welcomed from far away..."
"Uncle Lin, let's not be so polite between us." Su Xian stood up and went to greet him, and asked straight to the point: "I wonder if the second arrester of the prison department, Thousand-Faced Fox, is in the house?"
"Second Catcher?" Lin Youcai was stunned, "I'm afraid only that bastard knows where the Second Catcher is."
"So the second arrester is not in the house?" Su Xian was startled for a moment. Remembering what the concierge had just said, he quickly asked, "Where did Brother Lin go?"
"he……"
As soon as Lin Youcai said a word, someone outside the hall shouted: "Young master, go back home!"
Su Xian immediately ran out of the front hall and saw Lin Chuan smelling of alcohol. There were two bright red lip marks on his face that had not been wiped clean. He was grabbing a boy by the collar and scolding:
"I will come back as soon as I come back. I want you to talk more. If you alert the old man, I want you to look good!"
"..."
When Su Xian saw this, he immediately understood that Lin Chuan must have just returned from fooling around in a brothel. He wanted to sneak back to his room, but was told off by the concierge.
He probably didn't know that Su Xian and the "old man" he called were in the front hall, and happened to hear him scolding the boy, otherwise he would have run away long ago.
Lin Youcai followed Su Xian and ran out of the front hall. When he saw this scene, his blood suddenly surged and he wanted to hit someone.
At this time, Su Xian had already gone up to him and shouted: "Brother Lin, you are fine. Where is the second arrester? Isn't he with you? Where are they?"
"Brother Su?"
Lin Chuan turned around, waiting to be surprised why Su Xian was here, when he saw Lin Youcai in front of the front hall door, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.
Lin Chuan was immediately frightened, let go of the boy's collar, ran out of the house, and shouted to Su Xian: "Brother Su, see you tomorrow..."
As he was running wildly, he heard a voice from behind shouting: "Catch him!"
But what surprised him was that it was not Lin Youcai who gave the order, but his classmate and friend Su Xian.
He was wondering why Su Xian ordered to capture him? When did Brother Su and the old man get together?
Before he could think of a reason, he suddenly felt a lightness in his body and was lifted up. He hurriedly looked back and saw only an indifferent face...
This is the female attendant next to Su Xian, named Yang Zhilan, whom Lin Chuan knows.
"you……"
"Brother Lin, please tell me, where is the Thousand-Faced Fox now? This is very important to me." Su Xian ran closer and asked, looking at Lin Chuan who was lifted up by Yang Zhilan with one hand.
"Second brother got drunk with me just now, and then he said he would go back and meet Nangong Kui, the head of the third arrest..." Lin Chuan said subconsciously, while he was still being held by Yang Zhilan with one hand, swaying gently from side to side like a straw.
"What! Are you going to see Nangong Kui? Nangong Kui is at the marching camp!" Su Xian was depressed, and after going around for a while, he still had to return to the camp.
"..."
Wind, wind, fire.
Su Xian and Yang Zhilan quickly returned to the marching camp in the north of the city. After entering the camp gate, they went straight to the west corner of the camp, where Nangong Kui and his beloved torture instruments were.
After breaking into Nangong Kui's tent, he found that he was the only one inside. Su Xian had no time to greet him and asked, "Where is the second arrester? Where is he?"
Nangong Kui was looking through the files at his desk. When he saw Su Xian entering the account, he stood up. His emotion could not be seen on his cold face and said, "Second brother, he left for Beijing not long ago! Su Xianyi, you came just in time. I was just going to find you..."
"What! We're leaving for Beijing!" Su Xian exclaimed, interrupting Nangong Kui's words.
"Su Zhenyi has something urgent to do with his second brother?"
"Yes, it's a very urgent matter..." Su Xian's heart ached and his balls ached. This thousand-faced fox was always wandering around in front of his eyes when he wasn't needed. When he was needed, he actually returned to Beijing.
"Second brother just left not long ago, I can still catch up now." Nangong Kui said.
"I'll go after him!"
Su Xian turned around and left the tent, taking Yang Zhilan with him.
Seeing a group of personal guards patrolling on horseback, Su Xian directly showed the gold medal given by Li Youqing and ordered them to follow him to chase the Thousand-Faced Fox.
There were about fifty guards in this team, and Su Xian could mobilize a hundred with this gold medal. The captain who led the team immediately turned around and followed Su Xian out of the camp together.
The official road from the camp to the divine capital is on the other side, not the same as the official road to Yingzhou City.
Su Xian and his entourage galloped all the way, and a quarter of an hour after running out, they finally found the Thousand-Faced Fox in front of the official road.
"finally found you!"
Su Xian took a deep breath, clamped his legs around the horse's belly, and quickly chased after him with his whip raised.
