"Uncle Hong, I'm here......" After entering the house, Sun Yun guessed that Hong Jifeng was preoccupied tonight, and couldn't help but ask with concern, "What is so mysterious that you called me to this house alone......"

"Virtuous nephew, you sit down first......" Hong Jifeng had a serious expression on his face, as if the matter explained was very important, and said solemnly, "Virtuous nephew, do you remember the time when you came back from Luozhuang, Ren Guang and them explained to you?"

"What did you explain?" Sun Yun didn't react for a while, and continued to ask, "When you came back from Luozhuang...... It's been months, and I've almost forgotten about ......."

"It's for you to follow up and investigate, the case of the court officers and soldiers who were inexplicably killed that night-" Hong Jifeng continued.

"The officers and soldiers were killed,?......" Sun Yun muttered as he recalled, and then suddenly realized, "Oh, I remember—it was the case of the patrol officers and soldiers who were assassinated by unknown people at night, right?" Although I helped the government investigate together, it was not solved for more than a month, and until now the case is still a mystery......

"I'm looking for you to come over tonight, just to talk about this matter......" Hong Jifeng also sat opposite Sun Yun and said, "The reason why I investigated that case at the beginning and couldn't solve it was because of that suspicion......

"The cause of the victim's death ......" recalled the original case, Sun Yun's memory became more and more profound, and he said in a condensed voice, "The deceased did not have any wounds, but he lost his life in an instant, as if his soul was emptied...... At first, I guessed that it could be done by an unknown martial arts master, who used rare martial arts to commit murder, because I couldn't find the reason for the investigation in an ordinary way. Of course, there is no evidence to prove these speculations, so they are not closed in the end......"

"The same dead person has reappeared—" Suddenly, Hong Jifeng answered in a chilling tone.

"What?" Sure enough, Sun Yun couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, "Uncle Hong, what you just said...... The same deceased?"

"Yes!" Hong Jifeng said affirmatively, "It is almost the same as the cause of death of those officers and soldiers at the beginning......

"Who is the deceased?" Sun Yun did not ask about the circumstances of the murder at the first time, but asked about the identity of the victim.

"Disciple of the 'Ming Fu Sect'—" Hong Jifeng continued to reply.

"Mingfu Sect?" Sun Yun listened and continued to be stunned, "When did you find out, what is the motive?"

"I don't know the motive...... Hong Jifeng said slowly, "It happened about a month before the first riot of the 'Ming Fu Sect' - when there was a lot of fighting in Xicheng, it is said that the imperial court's military office in Dadu was attacked by the 'Ming Fu Sect' mob and suffered heavy casualties...... At that time, I wanted to save people, and I wanted to see if there were any survivors, but I didn't want it to become a sea of fire, and my eyes were full of corpses of officers and soldiers and 'Mingfu Sect' followers......"

"Are they all dead...... Sun Yun continued to ask, "Then Uncle Hong, are you sure that only the disciples of the 'Ming Fu Sect' are the cause of death, and what about the other officers and soldiers?"

"Those officers and soldiers died in the war, and the 'death difference' I just mentioned were all disciples of the 'Mingfu Sect,'......" Hong Jifeng continued to reply.

"In other words, if the same murderer committed the case in a 'weird' way, then what is his motive......" Sun Yun thought about it, his thinking was a little stagnant, and he muttered secretly, "And it is only for the disciples of the 'Mingfu Sect', can it be said that the murderer has a grudge against them...... That's not right, if it has anything to do with the 'Mingfu Sect', when the 'Mingfu Sect' had not yet broken out a few months ago, what was the point of him assassinating those Mengyuan officers and soldiers?"

"The officers and soldiers all died in the war, and the corpses of the 'Mingfu Sect' sects lying in the distance were abnormally ...... cause of death" Hong Jifeng took over and said as if he had an idea, "Virtuous nephew, do you guess if there is such a possibility-the 'Mingfu Sect' in Xicheng attacked the military aircraft station, and all the officers and soldiers guarding the army were killed, and after that, the murderer with strong martial arts appeared and brutally killed those 'Mingfu Sect' disciples......"

"Is it a person who commits murder? That must be a lot of ability...... Sun Yun then said, "If this is the case, then the situation in Dadu is a little sad, and now the imperial court is all focused on suppressing the 'Ming Fu Sect'......

"I recently heard that you are not going back to the palace, nephew?" Hong Jifeng suddenly thought, "Take advantage of this return to the mansion, call your Chatai family's connections, and investigate this matter - I have a hunch that this murderer is not only not simple, but is likely to want to set off a 'storm' in the capital city with the strength ......of one person."

"I know, Uncle Hong......" Sun Yun thought for a while, then nodded and said, "I will investigate secretly by myself or send someone to investigate, and I will ...... after this meeting with the palace."

After a short night of discussion, Sun Yun left Hong Jifeng's room, and now all he was thinking about returning to Chatai Wangfu, as well as countless questions in his mind, before going to bed, he still went to Du Juan's house first, and seemed to have questions that he wanted to ask in person......

Inside the cuckoo house, everything is still the same as usual, and the cuckoo herself is idle in the past few days when she comes back, after all, she has encountered so many twists and turns outside, and it is really not easy for her to be a girl with inconvenient legs.

However, Du Juan was only in the room alone tonight, and Qi Xueyin was not in the house, perhaps because of the "relationship" with Sun Yun during the day, Qi Xueyin's mood was always gloomy, and she wanted to go outside alone to relax.

But this is also just right, the current Sun Yun really doesn't want to meet him for the time being. knocked on the door a few times and entered the house, but saw Du Juan sitting at the table alone, packing up candles and other things - after all, it was getting late, and he was getting more and more sleepy, thinking that Sun Yun would receive a letter from the dart back to Chatai Wangfu during the day, and he might not know what arrangements would be made tomorrow.

"Brother Yun, is there anything you have to do with me at such a late hour?" Du Juan looked at Sun Yun coming, not wanting to care about himself, and asked with a smile.

"Are you alone, what about Xueyin?" Sun Yun looked at Qi Xueyin's absence, although some "unpleasantness" happened during the day, he still didn't forget to ask with concern.

"Sister Qi said that she wanted to walk outside tonight and come back later......" Du Juan agreed, and then asked whimsically, "Do you want to ...... Didn't you provoke Sister Qi again during the day? When I saw her go out, she didn't seem to be very happy......"

"It's nothing, it's not a small fight like usual...... Sun Yun didn't want Du Juan to worry too much, so he said casually.

"I heard Brother A Guang say that today the Jiuwang Chamber of Commerce sent another letter of entrustment......" Du Juan looked at Sun Yun looking for himself tonight, mostly to return to the Chatai Palace, and simply said bluntly, "It is said that Chatai Dordun is in the name of darts, let us go back to the Chatai Palace......"

"Yes, because the situation in most of the cities is tense now, and now that I am outside, even if I am the son of the Chatai family, I can't enter and leave the ......palace at will," Sun Yun added, "If Dorton wants to see us, the only way I can think of is this......" However, his eyes were a little erratic, as if his attention was elsewhere.

The cuckoo seemed to have guessed the purpose of Sun Yun's visit today, his expression lowered slightly, and he asked instead, "Brother Ah Guang also said that there was a message from Dordun to let me go......

"So you know everything......" Sun Yun nodded in default and responded in a low voice.

"Then you came to me tonight because you were worried about me, right......" The cuckoo clasped his index finger with both hands, and said a little shyly, "After all, the situation in the city is tense now, and I have experienced a lot of dangers outside during this time, my legs and feet are lame and I have difficulty moving, are you worried about what will happen to me......

"If you just go back to Chatai Palace, at least it will be safe......r than outside the capital," Sun Yun intervened, his eyes deliberately glanced at him, and then said, "Although it may be a little strange to ask so...... Juan'er, when you were in Chatai Palace, did you have any 'intersection' with Chatai Dorton......"

"Huh?" said the cuckoo without understanding for a moment, and hesitated.

"Or should I say......" Sun Yun gestured unnaturally and said with a slight hesitation, "When you were in the palace, did you go to him alone... Did he say anything to you, or mention anything......"

"What...... No—" The cuckoo couldn't think about it for the time being, and said casually, "When he was in the palace, he was disabled because of his martial arts, and didn't he always languish? I rarely go to him, let alone the night he finally leaves, he almost lost his mind and took ...... suicide."

"Juan'er, think about it carefully, when you see him alone, did he mention anything to you in particular...... Or what have you asked......" Sun Yun continued.

"No, after all, he is gloomy and gloomy most of the time, and I rarely go to him, only on the last night when I 'committed suicide', I took the initiative to comfort him once...... Huh?" But halfway through the sentence, the cuckoo seemed to remember something, and couldn't help but hesitate.

"What's wrong with you, Juan'er?" Seeing the change in Du Juan's expression, Sun Yun asked with concern.

Cuckoo's expression was momentarily stunned, and she remembered an important "thing" when she mentioned that she had gone to see Chatai Dordun alone on the last night......

(in recall)......

On the night he left the palace, the cuckoo went alone to the house of Tsatei Dordun and had a brief conversation......

"By the way, Miss Du......" However, Tsadadoldun seemed to think of something else, and suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" the cuckoo asked, turning around.

"You just said that you came from a family of salt officials...... right," Chatai Dordun asked with a little curiosity, "I'm sorry for asking too much...... What's your father's name?"

"Ah?......" Du Juan hesitated, but now she regarded Chatai Dordun as a relative, and she also calmly looked down on the relationship between them, so she smiled slowly, "My father's name is Du Changle, and he used to be an official in the Bianliang area......

"Du Changle ......" Chatai Dordun seemed to think of something, and hesitated silently.

"What's wrong?" the cuckoo didn't notice anything wrong, and didn't know why Thaydodor asked about his father, and continued to ask.

"Oh, it's nothing...... Chatai Dordun muttered, and then responded, "Just thinking about why you ended up in the situation of being a servant girl in the Nangong family since you were born into an official family......

"So you said this......" Du Juan smiled slowly, thinking of his father's early death, he couldn't help but say with a little sadness, "When I was ten years old, my father became seriously ill. Because I was an honest official, I didn't make too many official friends when I was alive, and my mother died early, and under the care of the left and right, he sold me to the Nangong family before he died, which is considered to give me a good home......"

"Then the year your father died, did there be a lot of similar things in Bianliang, and they were all the ...... of the relevant officials" Chatai Dordun suddenly had a flash of inspiration and continued to ask.

"Oh, I think so...... How do you know this?" asked the cuckoo as he listened, puzzled, "If you count your age, you weren't that old brother Dorton...... But if you really want to talk about it, I really can't remember exactly what happened that year, after all, it was a very young thing...... I only vaguely remember that something did happen in Bianliang that year, including my father, many officials, large and small, either died of illness or disappeared for no reason......"

"It really was in that year, it shouldn't be a coincidence...... "Chatai Dordun seemed to be worried about something, and said silently in his heart, "Although I was young that year, it was when the 'cult was rampant' in the capital, and it took me a few years to suppress the cult forces in the city...... Du Changle, I seem to have heard or seen this name somewhere, but I can't remember it...... caught up with the 'strange thing' in Bianliang that year, and it happened to be Miss Du's father, wouldn't it be so coincidental......"

"What's wrong with you, Brother Dolton, have you heard my father's name?" Cuckoo looked at Chatai Dorton, who was still "bent on seeking death" just now, and asked with a serious expression of thought at this time, and asked with some uneasiness in his heart.

"Ah, nothing...... I just remembered that it happened to be the same year that your father died, so I just thought about it...... "It seems that Tchatei Dorton doesn't seem to be going to tell Cuckoo about this right now......

(In reality)......

"Chatai Dordun met me alone, and mentioned slightly important things, it seems that only this time......" Du Juan thought calmly, seemed to notice the "strangeness" in this, and secretly thought, "So he wants to see me alone this time, is it possible...... It has something to do with my dad......"

Seeing the cuckoo thinking obsessively on the side, Sun Yun showed a puzzled look and kept shouting on the side: "Juan'er...... Juan'er—"

Du Juan was engrossed in thinking about the "conversation" that night, and did not hear Sun Yun's shout, and continued to chant silently in his heart: "In Kurong Town, the man from the 'Canghuan Sect' I saw looked so similar to my father...... If all this is true, wouldn't it be ......?"

"Juan'er...... Juan'er ——" Sun Yun looked at Du Juan in a daze, and deliberately raised his voice and shouted.

"Ahh

"What are you doing in a daze?" Sun Yun thought that Du Juan had thought of something important, and asked instead, "What I asked just now, could it be that Chatai Dordun really explained something to you?"

"No, no......" Who knows, Du Juan smiled, and actually deliberately concealed the "truth" without telling Sun Yun the truth......
