Rule the Ming Dynasty Alone

The Xuefeng sword is a design adopted by Zhu Youtang from later generations of cavalry sabers. It is different from traditional straight swords and curved swords. It is a neat long sword with a certain arc.

The blade has two-thirds of the deep arc blood groove, and the handle is thick and heavy, causing the center of gravity of the knife to be placed back. However, the blade is light and flexible, and the handle has a hand guard.

Since this was a weapon innovation of the Ming Dynasty and it was one of the trump cards against the Mongolian cavalry in the future, the Snow Maple Knife was classified as a contraband from the day it was born.

The Xuefeng Sword is now only available to the Aegis Camp. Not to mention these foreign envoys from Nanyang, it is not easy for even ordinary martial artists in the capital to get one.

Just like this, although the suspicion of Annan's envoy murder cannot be completely eliminated now, the possibility of obtaining the Xuefeng knife is too low, so the suspicion is greatly reduced.

"Your Majesty, the most important clue in this case is the Xuefeng knife. I have thoroughly investigated Wang Gong's factory in the past few days. Because Your Majesty strictly prohibits the leakage of Xuefeng knives, two officials must witness the burning of even defective Xuefeng knives. , so the possibility of intact Xue Fengxue being leaked is low. I would like to request an order to conduct a thorough investigation of the SHIELD Camp. The source of the loss of the murder weapon is likely to be in the SHIELD Camp!" After Song Cheng finished telling the whole story, he continued Please give orders.

Zhu Youtang's face suddenly darkened. When he smelled a conspiracy, he realized that this case was probably aimed at Camp SHIELD.

There are thousands of weapons to kill, but the murderer chose the Xuefeng knife. This approach is indeed intriguing.

One is to put the blame on the SHIELD Camp. After all, Xuefeng Dao is almost bound to the SHIELD Camp, which will intensify his distrust of the SHIELD Camp; the other is to take advantage of his favoritism for the SHIELD Camp and further The case was suppressed so that he could escape unscathed after the murder.

From this, you can choose to investigate this case to the end, but the difficulty is not small. The Xue Fengdao incident can also be downplayed. After all, there are too many unsolved cases in the world, and everyone naturally suspects that the Annan mission was responsible.

In fact, if the Ming Dynasty had not stopped them, the envoys in the city would have fought with the Annan envoys.

Although Guo Yong was an unnecessary eunuch who was only forty years old, but knowing the ins and outs of this case, he secretly felt a headache and smelled a conspiracy.

If this was just an ordinary murder case, it would only require an investigation, but this case happened to involve the SHIELD camp through Xuefeng Dao.

Obviously, since His Majesty ordered assassins to kill Marquis Qingyun, the former Minister of Household Li Min, and the Left Minister of Rites Ni Yue, some people no longer dared to sing the opposite, but began to play conspiracy.

"Your Majesty, I am stupid and don't know whether to ask or not!" Song Cheng saw Zhu Youtang's troubled look and said with confusion.

Zhu Youtang couldn't grasp the true intention of the person behind him, so he said calmly: "What's the matter?"

"Now the case has been pointed at Camp SHIELD. It is necessary to investigate the whereabouts of the Xue Maple Knife in SHIELD Camp. I am very puzzled as to why Your Majesty felt hesitant!" Song Cheng was a straightforward person and immediately expressed his doubts. Come out.

Zhu Youtang picked up the tea cup next to him and said openly: "Song Qing, diplomacy is no small matter! If we don't delve into the Xuefeng knife and classify the Xuefeng knife as an ordinary knife, then it is Champa and Annanli. It’s a matter for the two families of the Chao Dynasty. But if we make the matter about Xuefeng Dao known to the world, not only will it be detrimental to Xuefeng Dao’s confidentiality, but Ming Dynasty will also be deeply involved!"

"Your Majesty, I don't understand diplomacy, but I know that as long as the facts of the case are clearly investigated, the facts of the case will be exposed to the world, and the murderer will be punished in Mingtai, which will show the strictness of our Ming Dynasty's justice! As for Xuefeng Dao, after the murderer is found in this case, , there is no need to say it specifically, it is just a murder weapon!" Song Cheng had his own beliefs and said his thoughts immediately.

Zhu Youtang held the tea lid and poured the tea lightly, but said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid I can't find out!"

Even though he is a high-ranking emperor, there are too many mysteries to reveal his true appearance.

The clues to the mastermind behind the assassination incident have been cut off. The real culprit who poisoned Wynn has long been a case that has no clue. Now, the assassination of Wen Jin, the envoy of the consortium and occupying the city, is even more revealing.

"Your Majesty, as long as you let me enter the camp to thoroughly investigate the whereabouts of the Xuefeng Dao, I will be able to close the case in three days!" Song Cheng learned that Zhu Youtang was afraid that the case would not be investigated clearly, so he made a sincere statement.

Although the Shield Camp is within the territory of Shuntian Prefecture, if he, a small Shuntian governor, wants to enter the Shield Camp to investigate, he needs Zhu Youtang's handwriting to enter the camp.

It was such a coincidence that the case happened on the day the emperor set out for Tianshou Mountain. Therefore, even if the clue of Xue Maple Sword was found, he could not enter the SHIELD camp for investigation.

Now that the matter has pointed to the Shenji Camp, whether it is for his own beliefs or to serve the emperor in front of him, he must investigate it firmly.

Zhu Youtang stopped the tea cup that was brought to his mouth and said seriously: "Seriously, three days is enough?"

"I only need three days. If I can't find out, your Majesty can remove me from my official position!" Song Cheng saw Zhu Youtang's heart moved and thought that his future was at stake.

Zhu Youtang took a sip of tea and immediately made a decision: "Okay, I'll give you three days! If you can't find out the case, you can just wait to be punished!"

Although the matter is confusing, it involves Xuefeng Dao, and this matter is probably related to Wuxun Group. If he can really find out the mastermind behind the scenes, he can take the opportunity to kill a wave of people.

Regarding the mutual trade between the Ming Dynasty and North Korea, although these people did not stand up to speak out against each other, they all requested that the location of the mutual trade be abandoned in the Northeast, not the island that the Ming Dynasty once used to exile prisoners.

It was naturally impossible for Zhu Youtang to compromise. Not to mention that Jeju Island would be a springboard for his future invasion of Japan. If Ming Dynasty wanted to become a textile center, it was inseparable from the development of maritime transportation.

Just want to break these obstacles, just an imperial edict is still too weak, blood is still needed to clear the way, and the best blood is Wu Xun who still has the military power.

"I accept the decree!" Song Cheng, a man who is not greedy for power but confident, expressed his position without changing his face.

After receiving the token, he left the Yangxin Hall directly.

Although Hongzhi made some incomprehensible moves after he ascended the throne, his intuition told him that he was a good emperor. As for myself, I just need to use my own expertise to find out the facts of the case.

"Master Fu Yin, Madam asked you to eat on time, we should have lunch now!" Zhao Captou reminded him when he saw Song Cheng coming out.

Song Cheng's face was solemn, and he expressed his position: "We can't waste any more time! Let's buy two sesame seed cakes on the street and rush to the SHIELD camp immediately!"

"Lord Fu Yin, I think Madam is right! Your body is your own, and the case must be investigated slowly. There is no need to waste sleep and food like this!" Capt. Zhao handed the horse rope to Song Cheng and preached.

Song Cheng now tries his best to choose horses when traveling. He got on his horse and said: "I have issued a three-day military order to Your Majesty! If the case cannot be found out in three days, I promised to help my mother-in-law's family re-investigate the case." If you can't fulfill it, you have to find the next Shuntian governor if you want to reverse the verdict!"

"Stop talking too much, little one, let's investigate quickly!" Capt. Zhao, whose eyes were already big, immediately widened his eyes and said in horror.

North of Beijing City, Camp Aegis.

Since the SHIELD camp was stationed here, there have been obviously more residential houses around, and there are even smart people growing fruits and vegetables here to sell.

Tie Xiangshan was lying in the tent, snoring loudly.

Although God gave him a body as strong as a mountain, it also gave him a problem with snoring. Even his wife disliked him when he slept at night.

Since Zhang Yong has already gone to Tianshou Mountain with the emperor, and now he has simply lost his restraint in the entire military camp, he can sleep here whenever he wants.

But his sweet dream was soon disturbed. When he was woken up by his own men, he saw a black-faced god standing in front of him, which scared him so much that he thought he was meeting the King of Hell.

"Tie Qianhu, do you recognize this knife?" After Song Cheng revealed his identity, he glanced at Mr. Zhao and asked.

Capt. Zhao opened the Xuefeng knife wrapped in cloth, but he didn't understand that the tall man's face turned pale, so he sent the Xuefeng knife up directly.

Tie Xiangshan had already realized that the dark-faced young man in front of him was not the King of Hell.

When he took the knife, the corners of his mouth suddenly raised slightly, and he immediately swung the knife towards Song Cheng. So what if he is the King of Hell, I dare to kill Yama.

ah?

When the soldiers in the tent saw this, they couldn't help but be so frightened that their hearts rose to their throats. They never expected that Tie Xiangshan, who had just woken up, would actually kill someone.

Facing the burly man who suddenly attacked him, Song Cheng saw the blade slashing at him, and his mind immediately raced. But when facing the falling knife, his dark face still looked very calm.

When Tie Xiangshan saw that Song Cheng didn't even blink, he couldn't help but secretly admire him and said, "Aren't you afraid of death?"

call!

Zhao Captou and others were secretly relieved when they saw Tie Xiangshan put away his knife in time.

"I'm carrying out an errand, and you're not afraid of killing the nine tribes, so why should I be afraid of death?" Song Cheng's expression did not change, and he pointed out the stakes.

The corners of Tie Xiangshan's mouth opened slightly, and his face suddenly looked horrified: "You...are you on an errand under orders?"

"I have made it very clear just now!" Song Cheng said expressionlessly.

"Master Qianhu, he just said that!" said the men who woke up Tie Xiangshan.

Tie Xiangshan felt that he had been wronged, and immediately said with a smile: "Song... Mr. Song, there is a misunderstanding. You must know that you are on an errand. How can you be so courageous in your humble... humble position!"

"I want to check the whereabouts of the Xue Maple Knife that your 3,000 Aegis Battalion supplied at the beginning of the month. I will immediately summon all the soldiers to bring the Xue Maple Knife to the campus. I will check the knife!" Song Cheng has never been a person who likes to borrow money. The person who caused trouble should give the order calmly.

After Tie Xiangshan learned of Song Cheng's intention, he glanced at the Xuefeng sword in his hand and said, "Your Majesty, as soon as I swung this sword, I knew it was the sword that was lost a few days ago!"

"How did you lose the Xuefeng sword! If you don't understand clearly, you are an accomplice in the murder of Wen Jin, the envoy of the city!" Song Cheng's face suddenly straightened, and he immediately pressed on.
