C18 Surveillance of the Temple of the State Protector

Guo Chengliang was ecstatic, he believed in the words of the two, and immediately called for a group of capable soldiers to pay the bill, "It is getting late, we cannot leave the presidential palace for too long. If you people go, go secretly watch State Protecting 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."

Weidong immediately stood at attention and said, "Yes!" He brought those people to monitor State Protecting Temple. Guo Chengliang also got on his horse, bringing Zou Rensheng and Yang Dazhi back to the camp. The policemen also heard the news. There were Sheriff Zheng, Inspector Hun, Chief Officer Zhao, and Chief Officer Wang. They too went to report the withdrawal of their troops, taking their own shoes with them. 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 his duties, and immediately reported to Yuan Shikai. When he entered the Yuan Mansion's living room, he did not see Yuan Shikai, but he saw that only the Eunuch Liu was sitting under the bright light. Beside him on the coffee table was a shoe. When Guo Chengliang saw the shoes, he said, "The police have come."

When Eunuch Liu saw him enter, he stood up and said, "Ah, Commander Guo, it's good that you're here. "Please take a seat over here."

Guo Chengliang nodded at him and asked, "Where is 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, so he is already sick. The doctor drugged him and he fell asleep. " Guo Chengliang took a few steps forward and sat by his side.

Eunuch Liu continued: "The police came just now. 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. Commander Guo, do you think so? "

Guo Chengliang nodded, and thought to himself: "You crafty old fellow, you obviously want me to report to you, yet you don't want me to say 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! "

The Eunuch Liu saw that he did not say a word and answered, "Just now, someone from the police station said that they chased the monk who robbed things into the Residence of Crown Prince 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? "

Guo Chengliang then said, "There is indeed such a thing. 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."

The Eunuch Liu continued, "I was doubting their words. How could they be so sure that a monk had escaped into the Prince's Mansion with just their shoes? Ridiculous! I expect that they were also caught in the Thief Monk's trick. "

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 did not understand anything about the Lil 'Red, nor did he understand the customs of Japan. Unknowingly, he was attracted by Yue Yang's 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 Ren Sheng and Yang Da Jing, they saw the monk that stole the thing with their own eyes. He took the thing he stole and entered State Protecting Temple. I have already sent people to monitor State Protecting 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 had already sent people to monitor the State Protecting Temple. I was just about to go with you tomorrow, recognize that monk, capture him, and retrieve the stolen items. "

Guo Chengliang laughed: "With Mr Liu going to help us, 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."

Just as Guo Chengliang was about to visit Yuan Shikai, Xu Shuzheng, the temporary commanding officer of the Guardian Office also came. The three of them sat down and exchanged greetings. Guo Chengliang saw that Xu Shuzheng's complexion 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 did not even bother looking at Yuan Shikai anymore, he stood up and said: Hall Master Xu, your brother has been here for a long time. Then he went back to camp.

Hall Master Xu was indeed here to complain. Just as Guo Chengliang left, he said to Eunuch Liu: "Mr. Liu, where is the President? I have something that I need to see you about. "

Eunuch Liu also guessed his intentions, and said in an especially 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 do not understand, why did Eldest Young Master and Second Young Master suddenly appear at Duke Gong Palace? He didn't care about beauty, he just casually hit someone. What secrets are there that are so important? "

When the Eunuch Liu heard this, he pondered for a moment and said, "About this, you guys still don't know. Seeing that the Eldest Young Master was always lazy and did not work properly, the President specially invited a few advisers there to train the Eldest 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 the past few days that he had sent Eldest Young Master 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 make things big. 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 continued, "If we don't report this to the President, he will definitely blame us for being incompetent, and will even harshly set a deadline for the case. 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 the Eunuch Liu heard this, he also felt that the fire was adding oil to the fire. Seeing that Xu Shuzheng did not agree and caused this matter to become even more serious, he felt that this matter was serious. He grumbled at the Eldest Young Master for a while, then made up his mind, "Tonight, the President is still asking about the situation with the Monk Monk case. He wants to find the thing 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. " Xu Shuzheng stood up and said, "The President is sick today, I will come back tomorrow." With that, he left with a face full of misfortune.

Eunuch Liu sent Xu Shuzheng away. She felt repressed and could not sit still any longer, so she stood up and walked around 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 think of a way for Ma Shaofen to resume handling cases as soon as possible. Even though Xu Shuzheng didn't want to agree, Ma Shaofen was easy to coax. "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 carriage and quickly brought him to the hospital where Ma Shaofen stayed.

When Eunuch Liu entered the ward, he saw that Ma Shaofen's head was wrapped in bandages and his face was covered with bruises and tincture of iodine. He was lying on the bed, looking like he had fallen 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 softly, "Chief Ma, Brother Ma. How are you? "

Ma Shaofen knew that he had come, so he opened his eyes slightly and said softly, "Mister, you have come. I'm too hurt to get up. " His voice was weak, as if he were very ill.

Eunuch Liu sat on the side of the bed and said with an extremely 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. "

Hearing that, Ma Shaofen immediately opened his eyes wide. 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 young masters and scolded them. He even said that he would punish them heavily and 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. He sobbed, "I thank the President for personally asking about this matter, and thank the President for his concern and 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. " After Ma Shaofen heard this, he was even more touched and choked with sobs, "Sir, go back quickly. Don't make the President wait any longer. "Help me comfort the President and wish him a speedy recovery."

When the Eunuch Liu heard this, he was secretly happy 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. " Only after Ma Shaofen was completely satisfied with what he had said did he finally say goodbye.

When Eunuch Liu returned to his bedroom, it was already morning. He lay awake. He had actually hoped that daylight would be able to catch the thief within the State Protecting Temple and retrieve the item.

As soon as dawn broke, he took a bus to the guard camp. Seeing that Guo Chengliang and Deputy Xu had gathered their troops and prepared their horses, they were waiting for him in the courtyard. Guo Chengliang welcomed him and said: "After returning from last night, he once again sent people from State Protecting Temple to monitor that place. The soldiers had just come back to report that State Protecting Temple had closed the mountain gates overnight. No one entered or left the courtyard, let alone escaped over the wall. Thief Monk did not run away. Once we get there, we'll be able to catch him very quickly. "
