Chapter 172. Afraid of one's own shadow
The huge palace was quiet again, whether it was the emperor or Chu Yunfei, they were all looking at each other quietly, as if they were waiting for the other party to speak. Especially the emperor, he really wanted to get some assurance from Chu Yunfei's mouth, only in this way can he be completely assured, right? Facing Chu Yunfei, who was still silent, he laughed: "I know that you must have a lot of doubts in your heart, such as the night pearl that someone stole from you before pretending to be you, as well as the so-called organs in the Treasure Pavilion, and even He Yun, who had been arranged in the Hundred Flowers Building a long time ago. In fact, all this can only be said to be my unintentional insertion. After Wang Qian's case happened, I sent people to start investigating the case, and He Yun was just one of the many cadres I sent. He is the most thoughtful, so he gets more clues. But in fact, he, like you, was also set up by someone and joined Baihualou after getting my approval. As for what happened, it can only be said that the owner of Baihualou is to blame. You should also know that as the emperor, in addition to worrying about the situation in the world, I am also worried about all kinds of mysterious forces. ”
"So the emperor did not hesitate to use the real treasure map? Speaking of which, the emperor's next plan is to let me take on the heavy responsibility and find the treasure no matter what? Chu Yunfei's heart welled up with a little helplessness, he was obviously just a person responsible for investigating the case, and the ultimate purpose of this incident was just to wash away his grievances for himself, but he never expected that he would still become a chess piece in the hands of the emperor. The treasure map had been taken by his own hands, and he should have recovered it anyway.
A bright smile appeared on the emperor's face: "What I want is not the so-called treasure, but the force that is about to move. I know that there must be a lot of mystery in your heart, and you may even be aware of some signs, so what I want is that I hope you can take this opportunity to step up your efforts and get to the bottom of the case. I really want to see who is making waves. ”
Chu Yunfei had to admit that the emperor was indeed a smart person. Both of them know very well that this case must not involve ordinary people, the night pearl about the negotiation with Liao He once caused an uproar outside, but they didn't expect that the pearl was stolen by the people of Baihualou, in other words, someone has been hiding behind the scenes and controlling all this, and Baihualou, including Chu Yunfei, and even those elites personally selected by the emperor are just pawns of that mysterious force. It doesn't feel good to be manipulated, but if you go against this force, what good will you do?
Chu Yunfei shook his head helplessly, and before he could speak, the emperor took out a token that looked rather strange from the front of the case and handed it to him, and said in a loud voice: "I know that the next thing will make you very difficult, so in order to ensure your safety and to allow you to investigate the case with peace of mind, I will hand over to you this token that can use the Praetorian Guard and the elites scattered in the world." As long as you have something like this, they will do what you tell them to do, and there will be absolutely no problems. I just hope that you can do it boldly. ”
Is this a commitment to yourself? Chu Yunfei hesitated, but finally took the token from the emperor's hand, he held it for a while, smiled helplessly and waved his hand: "Okay, it's just that I hope that the day when I don't use it." What does the emperor plan to do next? Is it possible to lift my wanted warrant? Or does the emperor want me to still use this identity to meddle in this case to show your heavenly might? ”
"Haha...... I know you kid won't give up so well. Even if I have that idea now, I have to stop there, I know that your connections have always been good, but I never thought that you could let so many people come all the way to the capital, just to ask me for an explanation. Luckily, I'm just playing a show with you. Otherwise, I really don't know how to end up. The emperor looked at Chu Yunfei with a wry smile, and finally shook his head with a sigh. I remember you once said that it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. It seems that a self-proclaimed gentleman like you should not be offended, otherwise my life will not be too easy. ”
Chu Yunfei couldn't help but smile bitterly, it was really thanks to his group of friends who worked hard to act, otherwise, how could the people of Baihualou believe it? It's just that, of course, he has to pay the corresponding price, this time he wants to invite them to eat and drink in the Fan Tower for three days. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but raise a big smile on his face, since the emperor wanted to make himself the wronged leader, why did he let the emperor go? For the emperor, that little expense is just a drop in the bucket.
Leaving the palace, a large group of friends had already gathered in Fan Lou. Singing and dancing, the only difference is Chu Yunfei's mentality, although he flew all over the field like a flower butterfly, beckoning every friend present and thanking them diligently, but there was still a huge stone in his heart. In addition to the case ordered by the emperor, more importantly, Mei Yingxue is still missing, whether as a friend or as a person investigating the case, he has the responsibility to find Mei Yingxue as soon as possible.
"I know what you're worried about. But don't you think it's weird? With the strength of our six gates, plus your strength, and the help of your friends, even if a fly flies out of any city gate, we can find out, but Mei Gongzi is missing, isn't it too unbelievable? Ye Huan was holding an empty wine glass in his hand, with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but sigh and shake his head.
"Actually, I also think it's very strange, it stands to reason that inside and outside the capital, we can't miss anything. But who would have thought that it was here that the situation would arise. Could it be that there is really a legendary stealth technique in this world? That's why you can take people away from under your noses? Chu Yunfei frowned, and things were getting more and more mysterious. Where is Mei Yingxue, his heart is becoming more and more uncomprehensible.
"Maybe Mei Gongzi just played a big joke with us, maybe he's hiding somewhere to snicker at this time." Ye Huan sighed helplessly, and patted Chu Yunfei's shoulder as if comforted.
Chu Yunfei seemed to have been struck by lightning, he stood up suddenly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, and said loudly: "Oh, why didn't I think of it?" Why didn't I think of that? It must be like that! ”
