【Section 246】Restart
At the end of the seventeenth year of Yongle.
Zhu Di was very worried about the destruction of the Dongmen Seven Guards and wanted to find out the truth behind the scenes. But at this time, Yao Guangxiao had only one breath left. He could only find Zheng He and asked him to find the mysterious person who killed the Dongmen Seven Guards.
After months of investigations by Dongchang, it was discovered that a total of six mysterious young men had set up a trap to trap and kill the Seven Guards of Dongmen.
Zheng He looked at the two fragments of residual incense placed on the desk. One was left at the scene when Zhu Di was assassinated, and the other was found at the scene of the White Dragon King's corpse.
These two incense are of the same species, but after asking imperial doctors and spice merchants, no one knew where they came from. But Zheng He intuitively felt that they were related.
These two pieces of incense were physical evidence, and there was a file next to it, which contained a summary of the Dongchang factory guard's inquiry into the case. Zheng He read it carefully and found that there was no name of the suspected murderer in the entire summary, and even his appearance was unclear.
The narrative reads: "The old bustard stated that a young man came to the door and gave ten taels of silver to arrange for a first-class room..."
Another place reads, "The shopkeeper of the wine shop said that the peasant woman and a young man carried three jars of wine on a cart, saying it was high-quality Fen wine. They were looking for a suitable match, all of whom are unknown."
Another place says, "The one-eyed white-faced man claimed that Qiao Sanlang took shares in the gambling house and took the beggar's head... Two young men, with generous spending and high martial arts, won a great victory in the pot-throwing game and beheaded Qiao Sanlang's head.
The leg... was examined and it was confirmed that he died of excessive blood loss."
Zheng He closed the file and thought to himself, why are young people mentioned in all the descriptions? And they all happened on the same night in different places. It was obvious that they were well planned in advance.
Being able to kill the White Dragon King and others, this group of people is not only brave but also resourceful.
Suddenly, he remembered the three young people he met in the battle of Huai'an, one boy and two girls. These three people were extremely smart and had superb martial arts skills. One of the little girls had unfathomable kung fu and full potential for the future. He vaguely remembered that they called her "
"Xiao Xiao", although he was not as good as himself that day, but given time, his internal strength should be better than his.
From this point of view, Zheng He guessed that Liu Wenzhi should know the origins of these three people. Unfortunately, Liu Wenzhi is now exiled at sea and does not know whether he is alive or dead. Speaking of which, Zheng He feels a little confused about this matter. He has not told anyone about Liu Wenzhi's life experience.
A mystery, but in my heart I regretted banishing him.
Since he was castrated, Zheng He has been a bit twisted in some matters, like a two-faced man, sometimes arbitrary and sometimes inferior.
Unlike the previous emperors, Emperor Yongle Zhu Di did not trust literati and trusted eunuchs. One of the reasons was Zheng He. Zheng He followed Zhu Di for more than 20 years and made great contributions. Therefore, Zhu Di commanded all the people in Dongchang.
The position was assigned to the eunuch.
Another Dongchang file also attracted Zheng He's attention. This file is a secret record of visiting Jianghu and Green Forest. It mentions an incident in Tanzhe Temple, that is, the swordsman in white and the half-faced man. In the interview record
It shows that the origin of these two people is unknown, and no one knows their names or sects. The interviewer described the two people's martial arts skills, saying that the swordsman in white's swordsmanship generates sword energy, and the half-faced man's blade generates sword brilliance.
If true, the skills of these two people may be better than his own. Although Zheng He is not a martial arts person, he also knows anecdotes such as one temple, two palaces, four major gangs, and six green forests. Thinking of this, he remembered Zhu Di saying,
One of Dongchang's tasks is to control the martial arts world and find out the unscrupulous elements who may threaten the imperial power. Originally, it was intended that the White Dragon King should be the leader of the martial arts alliance and indirectly control the martial arts world. Unfortunately, the success fell short, and now he must find another person to do it for him.
In terms of martial arts cultivation, he is the most suitable candidate, but it is impossible for Wulin to accept his status as a eunuch, especially his status as an official.
Zheng He thought wildly for a while, and then remembered the incident of Emperor Jianwen. In the past few years, he had been traveling at sea, and there was no news at all. Whether Emperor Jianwen was alive or dead, he had no trace.
He slapped his head and gathered his thoughts. It was better to put down Emperor Jianwen and solve the matter of the Wulin leader first. But Zheng He thought about it for a long time and found no suitable candidate. For a long time, a person came to mind and decided to meet and ask him.
