Eunuch Liu glanced at the lined up soldiers as he listened to Guo Chengliang speak. Seeing that there were more than 120 of them, he thought to himself, "These people are enough." He took the reins from Deputy Xu and nodded at Guo Chengliang, saying, "Although you are young, you are indeed very capable at handling matters. This time, it's all because of you that we were able to catch the culprit and get the item back. "

Guo Chengliang said, "It's all because of Mr Liu's discerning eyes that I was able to capture the culprit. How can I be worthy of credit?"

Eunuch Liu laughed sinisterly and said: "Don't speak about the clairvoyant. Once we get there, I will recognize the monk who stole the items. Even if he were to change his surname to Flay Skinning, this old one would still recognize him. " Guo Chengliang said, "Alright, then I'll be relying on Teacher."

After Guo Chengliang had finished speaking, the two of them mounted their horses and led the soldiers out of the camp. They took the road and rushed towards the temple. It was really this: the awe-inspiring aura of power invading one's skin, the thick killing intent causing one to feel a chill down their spine. Knowing that this was not a good place to go, the people of the State Protecting Temple would definitely suffer.

As soon as Guo Chengliang sent him away, the staff officer and Deputy Xu reported, "Reporting, Battalion Commander: The telegram has already been sent out. The Tianjin Police Department attaches great importance to it. They have already sent out police officers to search for Rufeng."

Guo Chengliang was very satisfied and said to the two of them, "I just sent her away. He personally promised to help me find Monk Rufeng. "In this way, with the support of Tianjin and the assistance of the Beijing police, we will be able to capture Rufeng within the next few days." Before he could finish, the phone rang and rang again. The staff officer picked up a person who was looking for the Battalion Commander and immediately passed it to Guo Chengliang. "Battalion Commander, someone is looking for you." Guo Chengliang picked up the phone one by one.

At the same time, large numbers of officers and police were out of the city and Tianjin city, searching for the mountain. All sorts of calls were being made to report the situation to Guo Chengliang. The busy Guo Chengliang could not stop.

Just as he put down the phone and sat down, the guard outside reported again: "Captain of the Guardian Office and his men have arrived!" It was Chief of Police Xu Shuzheng, along with Police Department's Sheriff Zheng, Sheriff Ji, Sheriff Zhao, Army Department's Leng Chenyu, Yang Yutian, and the Supervisor of Industry and Commerce, Zhao Bingjun. They all heard that Guo Chengliang had been beaten up at the State Protecting Temple and had come to visit.

Guo Chengliang welcomed everyone into the room and said politely, "I didn't know that all of you would arrive here today. "Everyone, please take a seat. Please take a seat."

Everyone modestly sat down, and Xu Shuzheng said first, "I heard from Mr. Liu that Brother suffered in the National Protector Temple. We've come to visit. General Commander Duan Qirui of the Ministry of War and Military Affairs was also very concerned about the matter and sent a few of his bros to offer their condolences. When the business community heard the news, they didn't know how much damage their little brother had suffered, so they decided to donate money to help. About this, Chief Zhao actually brought someone here personally. " Guo Chengliang's face turned red when he heard this. Everyone greeted him and said, "Sir, thank you for your concern." "Thank you so much, little brother!"

As he handed out cigarettes to everyone, he explained, "Actually, it's nothing much. I was unharmed. Only a dozen soldiers were wounded. This is the result of a bunch of people lying about their inaccurate information. "

Xu Shuzheng continued, "Those powerful cultivators of the State Protecting Temple are being lawless. They are simply rebelling. If they dare to beat the soldiers, I will not spare them. As long as little brother agrees, I will immediately send people to capture all of them and punish them severely. "

Guo Chengliang said, "Thank you for your good intentions, brother. There was no need to trouble the police and my bros about this matter. In the future, little brother has his reasons. Besides, he'd wronged her today. Our battalion and bureau are in charge of the security outside the city, and the incident happened inside the city, so we have responsibilities that we cannot shirk. We should work together. It's more important to solve the case. For the time being, I have to give up all personal grudges. "

Xu Shuzheng said, "Maintaining law and order and punishing gangs are also the responsibilities of our police department. What's the difference between you and me, old boy? As for the matter of solving the case, I have given orders as per my brother's wishes. All the police forces have been dispatched to search the temples outside the city. If that Monk Rufeng is really as I thought, he will be caught very soon. "

Guo Chengliang said, "Thank you for your cooperation." "If I had to rely solely on my little brother to catch Monk Rufeng, I would be powerless to handle such a huge case."

Xu Shuzheng said, "I was assigned a duty by the Army Department, and was forced to serve as the head of the Guardian Office. It made me busy all day. Chief Ma is still in the hospital. These are the only officers in the station. I always feel weak. Therefore, he would have to rely more on his younger brother's intelligence in order to capture the case against Rufeng. I can only help out and listen to my brother's orders. "

Guo Chengliang heard and said, "Who doesn't know that Brother's mind is deep and profound? You want to be my assistant? Aren't you ashamed to kill me? Please don't be too modest and take the time to solve the case. What do I, a young military man, know? "The main thing is to rely on Brother's ingenious plans to catch Ruifeng." Apart from their internal conflicts, the two knew that the case was difficult to solve, so they started pushing the case to each other.

Xu ShuZheng could tell that Guo Chengliang was dissatisfied with him, so he changed the topic and said, "Brother, you misunderstood me. I didn't mean to turn the case over to you. We'll work together. "

Guo Chengliang also said, "The thing was lost by someone else, so it's our fault. If our battalion falls apart and we try to avoid each other's responsibility, we won't be able to solve the case and the President won't be able to explain himself. In the end, the ones who suffered were still us. "

Xu Shuzheng nodded, "I went to report on the case this morning. The President was very angry to see that there was no progress. We are strictly ordered to solve the case within the deadline of the day. "

Guo Chengliang said, "The pressure has already been placed on us, so we can only work together and sincerely cooperate."

Xu Shuzheng nodded again and said, "I have already captured the assistant from the Supreme White House and he is currently conducting a strict interrogation. This is the only clue I have, and I hope to solve it on him. " It was a rare occurrence for Xu ShuZheng to lean back in his chair. He looked up at the sky and thought.

Guo Chengliang had just exchanged a few words with Leng Chenyu and Zhao Bingjun when the guards outside reported loudly, "General Li has arrived!"

A group of nine commanders from the commander in chief of the Ninth Gate, General Li, also came to visit Guo Chengliang. Guo Chengliang hurriedly picked it up again. For several days in a row, officials came to visit him every day. Don't mention it.

In the blink of an eye, many days had passed. Guo Chengliang had tried his best to not be able to catch Ru Feng. Xu Shuzheng racked his brain but was still unable to find the location of the mountain from the Taibai Clan's shop assistant's mouth. The robbery dragged on day after day.

Meanwhile, Yuan Shikai continued to report illness to government officials every day, secretly plotting a revival with his trusted aides. What he was most anxious about was the question of the restoration going on day after day. On the one hand, he urged Xu Shuzheng and Guo Chengliang to solve the case, and on the other hand, he urged Liu Gonggong to call Zheng Xiaoxiu, a member of the Sectarian Society, and urged him to contact the Black Dragon Society of Japan more urgently so that he could secretly inquire about the situation of the silent man in the well.

On this day, the head of the Black Dragon Society in Beijing, Shan Qi, brought the news from Tokyo. Shan Qi also brought a secret letter from Jing Fu to Yuan Shikai. He passed it on to Zheng Xiaoxu. Zheng Xiaoxu quickly handed the letter to Liu Gonggong to see Yuan Shikai.

Eunuch Liu saw that the letter had the words "Mr. Yuan's personal letter" on it and knew that it was written by Jing Fu himself. He was happy to think that the chance to atone for his sins had arrived.

As if he had found a treasure, he came at once to Yuan Shikai and said: "Master, since the thing was lost in my hands, I feel deeply ashamed of my master, and have no heart for food or tea every day. Several times I wanted to kill myself, but I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to do my duty for my master. These days, I've been trying to find out more about Mr. Well. Finally, my Japanese friend found him. He also wrote you a letter in person. " After which, he handed over his hands.

Yuan Shikai was already happy to hear the news. He was also happy to hear that there was a letter written by a quiet man in the well. He immediately took it and held it in his hands. While sizing up the letter, he said, "I've finally got you here!" He opened the letter at once.

The letter read: "His Excellency Mr. Yuan: It is not Jingfu who intends to go against the wishes of the monarch. He was helpless and could not keep his appointment. I felt guilty. Your people were careless and leaked the news to Japan. Do you know, sir? I was scolded by someone in front of the Emperor and studied in a book. He almost lost his position. As a result, he was unable to make the appointment.

Originally, I had already put forth my best efforts for Teacher and obtained victory in front of the Emperor and the other ministers. The emperor had already removed the clauses that the gentlemen thought inappropriate. He had changed them to five lines and twenty-one lines. This final clause was already acceptable to Mr. Li. Unexpectedly, someone came back from Beijing, accusing me of taking bribes and using me of being a public servant in Beijing. The Sky Emperor refused again. I had to struggle to get the terms for Teacher. The monarch took the original terms from the emperor and prepared to go back to Beijing to force him to accept them. On the day of the letter, sir may have seen the original clause. If mister can insist on the original clause, I for mister bitter struggle for the article 21 hope. At that time, I should have done my best again. "See you later!"

Yuan Shikai was surprised and deeply regretful. He said to Eunuch Liu: "Mr. Jing is such a good friend. This letter must be kept absolutely confidential and must not be leaked at all. The last meeting had somehow leaked the news, and Mr. Well was already angry. When he went back, he had his men study a book in front of the Sky Emperor, which was the reason for this undesirable outcome. "

Eunuch Liu's expression immediately became flustered as he argued, "The last meeting was absolutely confidential. There was not the slightest slip up. What kind of trick is the Jap trying to pull out of this? " Yuan Shikai lowered his head without a word and showed the letter to him. Eunuch Liu hurriedly took the letter and read through it.

It turned out that the other day when Rufeng visited the Yuan Mansion, he told the information about the secret meeting between Yuan Shikai and Jing Jiu that he had heard and witnessed. After that, the intelligence agent quickly organized the information and sent it to the information stations in Tianjin and Shanghai.

Soon after, Cai Songpo received this important information in Kunming. He immediately spread word in the southern provinces, denouncing Yuan Shikai's crime of selling his country back, and calling for people to rise up and punish Yuan Shikai.

The Western newspapers in the various leases also carried the news. The secret meeting between Yuan Shikai and Jing Jiafu was known to everyone. Some of the Western newspapers posted the headline "Japanese envoy, Jingyuanfu, is taking bribes in China" in an eye-catching position.

TIANJIN JAPAN CONSIDERAL OF JAPANESE, was furious when he saw the newspaper get the news. He immediately took the newspaper to Beijing to look for the Japanese envoy.
