Thousand Households Commander Cheng and Thousand Households Commander Qiu, who were responsible for investigating the case, led a team of Imperial Guard and worked for several days, but still found nothing.
Seeing the panic in the imperial city getting stronger and stronger, and the counterfeit currency case still being unable to be solved, Lei Chongxiao was extremely anxious.
This case is getting bigger and bigger.
He couldn't sit still.
So, on this morning, Lei Chongxiao personally took several Imperial Guard followers and rushed to Vermilion Bird Street's house on the 13th, Su Fei, wanting to seek help from Imperial Guard's commander Su Fei.
Because the commander Su Fei told him that he can go to him for help when encountering problems.
Isn't he just running into a problem now?
Lei Chongxiao led his entourage to the door of Vermilion Bird Street's house No. 13. He straightened his clothes and robes facing the door.
Then gently knock on the door of the Su Manor.
After a while, the courtyard door opened, and the housekeeper poked his head out and saw that it was Lei Chongxiao. He recognized the Imperial Guard governor and quickly bowed and saluted.
"It turns out to be Lord Lei. I wonder why you are here today?"
Lei Chongxiao spoke respectfully and did not dare to neglect at all.
Even Su Manor's housekeeper treats him with courtesy.
"Excuse me, I'd like to inform you that Lei Chongxiao has something urgent to do and wants to see the commander."
The housekeeper didn't dare to delay, so he quickly turned around and went inside to report.
Not long after, the housekeeper came out and ushered Lei Chongxiao in.
"Lord Lei, the commander is waiting in the living room."
Lei Chongxiao followed the butler through the courtyard.
When he walked to the door of the living room, he saw Su Fei and Ji Yuyan sitting on the pear wood chairs in the living room. There were several plates of exquisite snacks on the table in front of them.
Ji Yuyan was wearing a lavender dress with gentle eyebrows. When he saw someone coming in, he nodded slightly.
Su Fei looked calm and looked at Lei Chongxiao calmly.
When Lei Chongxiao saw the rightful owner, he quickly stepped forward, bowed solemnly to Su Fei and Ji Yuyan, and said in a respectful tone.
"Subordinate Lei Chongxiao, I have met the commander and Mrs. Su."
Su Fei raised his hand and said casually.
"Lord Lei No need to be polite, just sit down."
Then he gave instructions to the servants on the side.
"Go and get Lord Lei a cup of tea."
After Lei Chongxiao thanked him, he carefully sat down on the chair opposite Su Fei.
After the servants served the tea and left, Lei Chongxiao couldn't wait to speak and reported the whole ins and outs of the counterfeit copper coin case to Su Fei.
"Commander, the reason why I came here to disturb you is that a difficult case has occurred in the Imperial City recently. I wonder if you know, sir, that a large number of counterfeit copper coins have appeared all over the Imperial City in the past few days. From Drunken Immortal Tower's customers to the grocery stall owners in the south of the city and the old lady with steamed buns on the street, many vendors and people have received counterfeit money."
"At first, the government sent police officers to investigate the case, but there was no progress in the investigation for several days. Later, the case was reported to Imperial Guard. The subordinates have sent multiple groups of people to maintain order in the imperial city while trying their best to track down the source of the counterfeit coins and the people who spread them. However, these counterfeit copper coins are extremely exquisite in workmanship and the people who spread them are secretive. After such a long investigation, they still can't find any useful clues."
"Nowadays, the people of the Imperial City are panic-stricken, the streets are in chaos, and more and more people are filing reports every day. The subordinates really have no choice but to come here and beg the commander for help."
"The commander is unfathomable, and he is a god at solving crimes. He will definitely be able to solve this case."
After saying that, Lei Chongxiao stood up again and bowed deeply to Su Fei with a sincere attitude.
Ji Yuyan listened quietly on the side, hearing that fake copper coins were disrupting the market and causing suffering for the people, his beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
The moment Lei Chongxiao finished speaking, a clear system prompt suddenly sounded in Su Fei's mind:
[Ding! Mission released: Ask the host to solve the counterfeit copper coin case!]
[Task requirements: crack the counterfeit copper coin case, arrest all the masterminds behind the case, and bring them to Heavenly Prison.]
[Task reward: One hundred and fifty years of cultivation.]
Su Fei felt something in his heart. Although he was not given martial arts this time, for one hundred and fifty years of cultivation, this reward is not too small.
Originally, he wanted to stay with Ji Yuyan for a few more days, but now that the system has issued tasks, and the counterfeit copper coin case has indeed disturbed the peace of the imperial city.
It affected the livelihood of the people in the imperial city, so he naturally had no reason to refuse.
Su Fei raised his eyes and looked at Lei Chongxiao, nodding slowly.
"I already know about this. This case of counterfeit copper coins is really difficult. Since you are here, I will take over the case."
Lei Chongxiao was originally worried about Su Fei's rejection.
At this moment, when I heard Su Fei agreed, I was overjoyed and quickly bowed and saluted again.
"Thank you very much, Commander. If the Commander takes action, this case will definitely be solved smoothly. On behalf of the people of the Imperial City, I would like to thank you very much for your generous help, Commander."
Lei Chongxiao Xie En just finished speaking.
Ji Yuyan, who was sitting quietly on the side, frowned, and his originally gentle face fell instantly.
Subconsciously, he pouted his mouth and showed dissatisfaction in his eyes.
In her opinion, Su Fei's agreement to take on the case means that she will have to spend a lot of time investigating the case. She will no longer be able to accompany her around the streets and alleys of the imperial city, taste all the snacks, and enjoy the world of two people like she did a few days ago.
The peaceful time that we had finally looked forward to was about to be interrupted after only a few days, and Ji Yuyan naturally felt a little aggrieved.
She didn't make a sound to disturb, but quietly glanced at Su Fei.
Naturally, her subtle changes could not escape Su Fei's eyes.
Seeing Ji Yuyan pouting in grievance, Su Fei felt soft in his heart, and a hint of pampering flashed in his eyes.
He turned to Lei Chongxiao, who was still standing aside with a bow.
"Lord Lei, please go back to Pacification Office and wait. The detailed files on this case and the samples of fake copper coins have been sorted and prepared. I will be here later."
Lei Chongxiao Hearing this, he quickly straightened up and responded respectfully.
"Yes, I obey. I will return to Pacification Office to prepare and wait for the command."
He did not dare to delay for a moment, and saluted Su Fei and Ji Yuyan again, then turned and quickly exited the living room, leading the entourage outside the door and left in a hurry.
Only Su Fei and Ji Yuyan were left in the living room, and the atmosphere instantly became quiet.
Su Fei stood up and walked to Ji Yuyan, gently held her little hand, rubbed her delicate skin with his fingertips, and asked softly.
"What's wrong, Yuyan? Are you unhappy?"
Ji Yuyan raised his head, met Su Fei's doting gaze, and said aggrievedly.
"Su Lang, if you take over the case, will you no longer have time to accompany me?"
"It is my job to investigate the case. The people in the imperial city are in panic because of the fake copper coins. I can't ignore it. But don't worry, I will finish the case as soon as possible. The remaining time will be spent with you, okay?"
As he spoke, he took out an exquisite jade hairpin from the storage space. The head of the hairpin was engraved with a lifelike white magnolia, which was full of brilliance. It was exactly what he bought quietly when he was shopping a few days ago.
