Hearing this, Guo Chengliang was overjoyed. He believed in the words of the two and immediately called out a group of capable soldiers to pay the bill, "It's getting late, we can't leave the presidential palace for too long. All of you, go and secretly monitor the National Protector Temple for me. Don't let the thieves run away at night, and don't alert them. "After a night, I have my reasons for it."

Captain Wei immediately stood at attention and said, "Yes!" I took those people to watch the temple. Guo Chengliang also got on his horse and led Zou Rensheng and Yang Dazhi back to the camp. The policemen also heard the news. One of them, Sheriff Zheng, Sheriff Hun, Sheriff Zhao, and Sheriff Wang, also took their shoes and reported their retreat. Peace returned to the north side of the city.

The news of what happened in the north of the city quickly spread throughout the city. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, the commander of the army, General Li of the Nine Gate City, also evacuated his troops from the city. He opened the city gates and returned to the city. The police station held all the suspects captive, Fatty, and the rest of the people captive, and only after it was dark did the city settle down.

Guo Chengliang returned to the camp, arranged the duty guard, and immediately came to report to Yuan Shikai. When he entered the Yuan Mansion's living room, he saw that only Eunuch Liu was sitting alone under the bright light. Beside him on the coffee table was a shoe. Guo Chengliang saw the shoe and said, "The police came."

When Eunuch Liu saw him come in, he stood up and said: "Ah, Battalion Commander Guo, you came just in time. "Please take a seat over here."

Guo Chengliang nodded at him and asked, "Where's the President?" I came to report something to him. "

Eunuch Liu said, "The President suffered a shock during the day and felt a bit of cold. He has already fallen ill. The doctor drugged him and he fell asleep. " Hearing that, Guo Chengliang took a few steps forward and sat at his side.

Eunuch Liu continued: "Just now, the police department staff also came. They also brought the shoe. I didn't ask them to disturb the President's sleep. I want the President to have a good night's rest so that he can recover more quickly. Battalion Commander Guo, don't you think so? "

Guo Chengliang thought to himself as he nodded, "You cunning old fellow, you clearly want me to report to you, but you don't want me to speak of it directly." If it weren't for the fact that you, a eunuch, repeatedly urged the President to restore peace, how could such a thing have happened? A good and peaceful National People's Government would have been disrupted by you. You are really the root of all this trouble! "

Eunuch Liu saw that he did not say a word and answered, "Just now, someone from the police station said that they had chased the monk who was robbing the goods into the Residence of Crown Prince Gong and even brought down this shoe. They said that they were on their way in to search for him, but they were all disturbed by the two young masters and they even beat up their Chief. Said the chief was in the hospital. He also said that the robbing monk dropped the shoe in a hurry when he jumped over the wall. Is what you said really true? "

Only then did Guo Chengliang say, "There are indeed such things. Afterwards, I personally led people to search the mansion, but couldn't find the monk that robbed things. "From my analysis, it must be that Bureau Chief Ma and the others fell for that monk's trick."

Eunuch Liu continued: "I was doubting their words. With just a shoe, how could I be sure that the monk had escaped into the palace? Ridiculous! I expect that they have also fallen for the tricks of that thief monk. "

He picked up the shoe again and looked at it over and over. "This shoe isn't worn by monks, either. Look at the redness and stitches on this shoe. This shoe is made by a Japanese woman. There's a pattern of cherry blossoms on it. "

Guo Chengliang, who didn't understand anything about the nymphs or Japanese customs, was attracted by his craftiness and took a closer look at the shoes. He said to himself, "This guy is pretty good. He can tell that this shoe was made by a Japanese woman. Perhaps the shoes were worn by the Japanese? "

So as he fiddled with his shoes, he said, "Was that Japanese they were chasing today? This case still has something to do with the Japanese? "

Eunuch Liu shook his head, "No, no." Let's not complicate things artificially. There was absolutely nothing to do with the Japanese in this matter. The thief must be a Chinese monk. I met him and saw him very well. We have no basis for saying that the Japanese were involved in this matter. "

Guo Chengliang said, "According to the President's personal bodyguard, Zou Rensheng and Yang Dazhi, they saw with their own eyes the monk that stole the thing and took it into the temple. I have sent men to watch the temple. Daybreak, I'm going there to search and arrest someone. I'm here to report to the President. "

Eunuch Liu said, "You did well. I also heard from them that you have sent men to watch the temple. I was just about to go with you tomorrow, recognize that monk, capture him, and retrieve the stolen items. "

Guo Chengliang smiled and said, "With Mr Liu's cooperation, that would be for the best. It's a hundred times more accurate than what the bodyguards said. "It's decided. Earlier tomorrow, I will be waiting for you inside the camp. We will set off together."

Guo Chengliang was just about to pay a visit to Yuan Shikai when Xu Shuzheng, the temporary head of the Guardian Office, arrived. The three of them exchanged a few pleasantries before sitting down. Guo Chengliang saw that Xu Shuzheng's expression was strange.

He guessed: "Director Xu must have come to the President to complain on behalf of Chief Ma. It seemed like he didn't want to agree with the two gongzis' decision. If I speak here, I will offend people, so it's better for me to leave quickly. " Guo Chengliang didn't even bother looking at Yuan Shikai as he stood up and said, "Hall Master Xu, your brother has been here for a long time. I still have some official matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave." Then he went back to camp.

Hall Master Xu was indeed here to complain. The moment Guo Chengliang left, he turned to Eunuch Liu and asked, "Mr. Liu, where is the President? I have something that I need to see you about. "

Eunuch Liu also guessed his intention for coming here, and said in a particularly amiable tone and manner, "Ah, I understand what you mean. It was best not to let the President know for the moment. He's sick now. When he heard of it, it was like adding to the snow. "

Xu ShuZheng said, "I really don't understand why Eldest Young Master and Second Young Master suddenly appeared at Prince Gong's Mansion. He didn't care about beauty, he just casually hit someone. What secrets are there that are so important? "

When Eunuch Liu heard this, he thought for a moment and said: "Well, you guys don't know yet. The president saw that the young master was lazy and did not have much work to do, so he asked a few advisers to train the young master. Let him learn how to govern the state. The President was hoping for success, but he had to put in a lot of effort. It was only in the past few days that the eldest young master had been sent there. Actually, what happened during the day was completely a misunderstanding. I hope that Hall Master Xu will continue to try his best to mediate and not blow this matter up. "

Xu Shuzheng said, "No one wants to blow the matter up. However, because of this misunderstanding, the culprit was let go, who will take responsibility for this? " Eunuch Liu lowered his head in silence.

Xu Shuzheng added, "If we don't report this to the President, the President will definitely blame us for our incompetence as police officers, and we will also have to resolve this case within a strict deadline." Now, Chief Ma had been severely injured by the two gongzis and was in the hospital. Without a leader in the police station, how can this case be handled? "

When Eunuch Liu heard this, he also felt that the fire had only added fuel to the fire. He was so overwhelmed that he had nothing to say. When he saw that Xu Shuzheng did not agree and made the matter bigger, he felt that the matter was serious. He grumbled at the young master, then came to an agreement, "Tonight, the president is asking for information on how the monks are solved, so that we can get back what we want as soon as possible." What should he do? If I can't find it, I won't be able to escape my guilt. It's all the fault of this brainless Young Master. " He lowered his head to think of a way to save them. Xu ShuZheng stood up and said, "The President is sick today. I'll come back tomorrow." With that, he left with a face full of misfortune.

Eunuch Liu sent Xu Shuzheng away. Feeling the pressure, he could not sit still any longer, so he stood up and walked in circles to think of an idea. He said to himself, "If the case continues to drag on, it will be very disadvantageous for me in the future. I have to figure out a way to get Ma Shaofen back on the case as soon as possible. Even if Xu Shuren did not agree, Ma Shaofeng would still try his best to coax him. "Yes, yes." He made up his mind. He called one of the guards in and said, "Prepare a car and take me to the hospital." The guard used a car and quickly escorted him to the hospital where Ma Shaofen was staying.

When Eunuch Liu entered the room, he saw Ma Shaofen, his head wrapped in gauze and his face bruised and stained with iodine, lying on the bed as if he were asleep. A police officer in the room moved a chair over and said, "Mr. Liu, please take a seat. Our director is badly injured and has fallen asleep. " Eunuch Liu stepped forward and said, "Chief Ma, Brother Ma. How are you?

Ma Shaofen knew that he had come. He opened his eyes slightly and whispered, "Mister, you are here. Please take a seat." I'm too hurt to get up. " His voice was weak, as if he were very ill.

Eunuch Liu sat on the edge of the bed and said in a sympathetic tone: "Cough, facing this brother's pain, this brother will empathize with it. I was commissioned by the President to come and see you. "

When Ma Shaofen heard this, his eyes widened. Eunuch Liu saw that he immediately became more spirited and continued, "Tonight, when the President found out about this, he was extremely angry at the two gongzis and scolded them. He even said that he would punish them severely and that he would help you vent your anger. The President told me to come see you first, to keep you in peace, to rest, and to return to the Board when you were well enough. The President was also very angry about his own downfall. He was still waiting for me to reply. Oh, the President really cares about you. "

When Ma Shaofen heard this, he was moved to tears and sobbed, "I thank the President for personally asking about this matter and for his concern for me. Sir, please go back and help me convey to the President that I will soon be working as a director and that I will be loyal to the President, so don't worry about it. "

Eunuch Liu continued, "Actually, it was a misunderstanding. It was all the young man's fault for being so rude. The President had also fallen ill, and when he heard of this, he began to struggle again. So the President cares about you. " When Ma Shaofen heard this, he was even more touched. He choked with sobs and said, "Mister, please go back quickly. Don't make the President wait any longer. "Help me comfort the President and wish him a speedy recovery."

When Eunuch Liu heard this, he was secretly delighted that he had succeeded. As he nodded in agreement, he said, "Brother Ma, that's right. Let them go and let them go. The President has given you so much face that it's enough. Don't make things difficult for him anymore. How can you be so smart when you don't know when to stop and when to stand up? You seek to reinstate the Council as soon as possible to serve the President. " It was only until Ma Shaofen was satisfied with his speech that he took his leave.

It was already morning when Eunuch Liu returned to his bedroom. He lay awake. He really hoped that the next day, he would be able to capture those thieves at the National Protector Temple and retrieve the items.

As soon as dawn broke, he took a bus to the guard camp. Seeing that Guo Chengliang and Deputy Xu had already gathered in a group and prepared their horses, they were waiting for him in the courtyard. Guo Chengliang welcomed him and said, "Last night, he came back and sent a class of people to watch over that place. The soldiers had just returned and reported that the temple had been closed for a night. No one had entered the temple, and no one had gone over the wall to escape. The monk did not run away. Once we get there, we'll be able to catch him very quickly. "
