Liu Daming, as the backbone of the officials present, should have been the one who talked about things, but he had been dazed by the chef's absconding, worried and frightened, and he didn't know how to deal with himself for a while, as for Li Chun, who was the master, he hadn't recovered from the shock at this time, and naturally he wouldn't have much to worry about, and the rest of the people were humble and light, how could they dare to speak indiscriminately on such a big matter, so there was a strange dead silence in the huge West Flower Hall, and the depressing atmosphere was so thick that it was breathless.

"Lord Liu, don't let that chef escape!"

Seeing that the crowd waited for a long time and didn't say a word, Yan Wanshan was anxious, you must know that this time King Yue sent it out, in order to let him protect Gao Zhizhou, but now Gao Zhizhou died so bizarrely, or died in the mansion of the fourth prince Li Chun, no matter how it is calculated, it is difficult for him Yan Wanshan to explain to King Yue, and now the only way to do this is to catch the absconding cook, see if he can follow the vine and find the culprit behind it, in order to reduce some of the responsibility, he does not want to be mistaken by a group of bureaucrats, This came out of nowhere in any recklessness.

"Huh?"

When Liu Daming was anxiously thinking about countermeasures, he was suddenly interrupted by someone, and his face was a little unpleasant, but when he saw that it was the commander of the guards brought by Gao Zhizhou who was speaking, it was not easy to attack casually when he couldn't figure out the details, so he could only frown unhappily and snort coldly.

"Yes, you can't let that guy escape, Uncle Yan, do you have a way?"

Liu Daming didn't know Yan Wanshan's ability, so he didn't dare to express his position easily, but Li Chun knew it very well, and when he saw Yan Wanshan open his mouth, he woke up suddenly, as if the person who fell into the water grabbed the last straw, and hurriedly shouted.

"Well, but you have to do it early, there is a tracking master under a certain subordinate, surnamed Song Mingke, who has a stunt, and can find the enemy by smell, but there are many people at the moment, and if the smell is mixed, then there will be no chance."

Yan Wanshan is a confidant of King Yue, so he will not put Liu Daming's assassination history in his eyes, and he doesn't care how ugly his face is, just exchanging opinions with Li Chun.

"Okay, that's good, without further ado, I will ask Uncle Yan to send someone quickly, no matter what the need, the little nephew has no reason to allow it."

can have a straw to grasp, Li Chun came to the spirit when he arrived, and he didn't ask Liu Daming's opinion, so he made a decision on his own.

"In this case, Yan will arrange it!"

Yan Wanshan only has Li Chun in his eyes, and there is no Liu Daming at all, he asked for instructions before, which was polite, but in exchange for a cold reception, which made Yan Wanshan feel 120,000 points dissatisfied in his heart, and at this time, he didn't even look at Liu Daming, and as soon as he finished socializing with Li Chun, he went out of the West Flower Hall by himself, and went to arrange related matters without mentioning it.

"Ahem!"

Seeing Yan and Li answering each other like this, making it clear that he didn't look at him as the supreme governor of the state, Liu Daming couldn't help but feel a lot of fire in his heart, but Gao Zhizhou's death was too important, Liu Daming didn't dare to carry this burden easily, and after thinking about it, he also felt that it seemed inappropriate for Yan Wanshan to come forward to rectify it, in a word, at the moment, it is just a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and it is good to have one more way after all, of course, as the highest governor of the state, Liu Daming must also have a way to explain the past in such a major matter, so he faked coughing twice and attracted everyone's attention.

"Ah, Lord Liu, although someone has already tracked down the cook, I am afraid that he still has accomplices who will respond, in case there is a change, I am afraid that it is not a trick, and I ask Lord Liu to send the state army to coordinate one or two."

Liu Daming made such a fuss, Li Chun realized that his previous expertise was a little too much, but when the central officials of the state were present, Li Chun did not want to bow his head to admit his mistake, so he made a request in a deliberative tone.

"There's no rush for this, let's let you test it first!"

Speaking of which, Liu Daming is also one of the earliest people in the Beimen Bachelors, but he is far inferior to others in terms of official luck, and the root is that his personality is too rigid, obviously at this time, he also wants to solve the case this morning, so as to reduce his own responsibility, but when the words come to his mouth, he has become a different appearance, and he has taken a noncommittal attitude towards Li Chun's request.

"This ......, yes, the lower officials will obey the orders of the adults."

Li Chun is also an understanding person, although he was anxious, but when he saw that Liu Daming wanted to take revenge on his previous arbitrariness, he had no choice but to respectfully agree to the promise and retreat to the side.

"My lord, according to the inquest, it can be seen that Lord Gao died of snake venom, and the food itself did not contain poison, but the food plate was coated with a layer of toxin, so the person who examined the food could not test the poison, and in addition, a rag left by the escaped cook Wang Biao was found in the dining room, and the toxin detected from it was consistent with the one on the food plate, and this person should be seriously suspected."

There was such a huge case in Sima's house, and the people who responded to it did not dare to have the slightest carelessness, not to mention that the whole inspection was also very fast, and it was just a busy tea before and after, and the root of the case had already been clarified, and it was reported to Liu Daming in a hurry.

"Hmm!" As soon as he heard that the root cause of the matter was indeed in the Sima Mansion itself, Liu Daming's mood was a little relieved, although he still couldn't get out of it, but at least most of the responsibility should be borne by Li Chun, the son of King Yue, in view of this, he had to completely press the matter on Li Chun's head, and after rejecting the pretense, he immediately looked at Li Chun with a calm gaze, and asked almost word by word: "Lord Li, where did this cook come from?" Why do you want to do such a perverse thing, huh? ”

"My lord Mingjian, this cook was recommended by the second son of your mansion to Xiaguan when he first arrived in Caizhou, and he tried it a few times, and he felt that the craftsmanship was acceptable, and the lower official used it, and Cai Yanglin County Order could testify for the lower officials."

Although Li Chun has not been an official for a long time, he has grown up in the palace since he was a child, and he is quite familiar with conspiracy.

"Is there such a thing? Hmmm......"

Liu Daming thought that he could use this to reduce his responsibility, but he never expected that things would go around and around his backyard, and his head hurt when he landed, and he really didn't know how to turn around the current situation for a while.

"Report, Lord Liu and Lord Li have already discovered the whereabouts of the absconding cook Wang Biao, who is hiding in a house in the south of the city, Commander Yan is worried that there will be insufficient manpower and dare not move without permission, please send troops to help immediately!"

Just when Liu Daming was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say, he saw a Gao Zhizhou's personal guard snatching in from outside, and said in an urgent tone.

"What?"

Liu Daming originally had no hope at all for the so-called tracking proposed by Yan Wanshan, in his mind, it was just a false response, but he never expected that Yan Wanming could really find the whereabouts of the cook in such a short time, and in shock, he screamed out in a faux puff.

"Lord Liu, without further ado, I am afraid that something will change, and I ask Lord Liu to immediately order the state army to be transferred to arrest the suspect!"

Although Li Chun is a person who learns literature, after all, he has a lot of contact with Yan Wanshan, and he will not have any doubts about Yan Wanshan's skills.

"Okay, give the order, the state army will attack immediately, and be sure to take down the suspect and his comrades!"

The matter has come to this, Liu Daming has no time to think about whether there will be a strange situation inside, he thinks about being able to solve the case and forgive the crime, he will not hesitate, wave his hand, and give an order in a loud voice, and the attaché who is waiting on the side goes to order the state army that has been waiting outside the palace gate for a long time.

"The last general, Fu Rong, see Commander Yan."

Yan Wanshan hung the title of General Lang this time, and his rank was two steps higher than that of the state military captain, and the captain did not dare to have the slightest rudeness, and when he saw Yan Wanshan's face, he hurried up to be a standard military salute.

"Captain Fu doesn't need to be polite, the time is urgent, in order to prevent the suspected murderer from absconding again, we will immediately kill the soldiers and horses of the headquarters into the mansion, and be sure to take down the thief!"

Yan Wanshan was very anxious, how could he have the kung fu to talk to the state military academy captain so much, and he didn't even return the salute, so he was already in a hurry to give the order.

"No, the last general will obey!"

Fu Rong was extremely dissatisfied with Yan Wanshan's attitude, but he didn't dare to miss the business because of this, so he could only respond with a solemn face, returned to his headquarters, quickly mobilized soldiers and horses, and surrounded the entire mansion, before it was deployed in place, Yan Wanshan couldn't wait to lead his troops into the courtyard, and a vicious battle broke out in an instant - in the dark, although a group of people in the house did not know the situation, but their hands were extremely hard, and they had no intention of surrendering at all, and soon fought with Yan Wanshan and others, both sides were good hands, For a while, it was difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat, but when Fu Rong waved his army to enter, the battle situation soon showed a one-sided posture.

As soon as they saw the state army killed, the group of strongmen in the house was shocked to realize that something was wrong, and they all roared and misunderstood words, but where were Yan Wanshan and others, who had already killed the red-eyed, willing to listen, the vicious fight continued again and again, and it took a lot of effort to finally capture or kill those who dared to resist, completely disintegrating the resistance in the yard, but under a big search, only found the clothes of the absconding suspect in the backyard, but failed to find him, and the people had no choice but to escort all the thieves who were captured back to Sima Mansion.

"Come, bring the leader of the thieves to this officer!"

As soon as he learned that he failed to catch the suspect himself, Liu Daming's face became gloomy, and he roared angrily.

"How are you?"

The prisoner had just been escorted to the court, and when Li Chun saw it, he was startled, jumped up like a pins and needles, and pointed at the prisoner as if he had seen a ghost, so surprised that his jaw almost fell to the ground......
