Zheng Chenggong thought for a short time before making a decision. Procrastination has never been his style.
Once you decide what to do, you won't think about it again and again, and there will be no room to look back.
The people under him had no objections at all. They had become accustomed to the huge changes in their leader over the past year. Except for a few people around him, most of them didn't know Zheng Chenggong, and they didn't know that Zheng Chenggong was no longer the one who led them to rise up.
Got that brother-like presence.
He gave the order decisively, and then half of the army suddenly changed its route and headed towards the capital.
"How's it going? Is there any result?" Mu Mu asked Lin Chong anxiously. He had always wanted to ask about the situation since he knew that Lin Chong had asked Ling Yiqu and Feng Ying to focus on investigating this matter.
However, for several days in a row, his young master had locked himself in the imperial study room and would not come out. He would not let anyone in except to deliver food. Mu Mu had not seen him for several days.
When it finally got dark, Lin Chong gave up the royal study and the old files that had been with him for the past few days. He felt quite haggard. It seemed that he had indeed consumed a lot of energy in the past few days, and he might need to eat continuously.
It takes three days to recover.
"Are you asking those gangsters in the capital? I'm not sure. Let's ask Dali Temple tomorrow. Then you can go there in person and report back to me when you come back." It's not that he is lazy, it's just that he has no time these days.
He was so exhausted from reading history all night long that he just wanted to take a bath and have a good sleep.
In an ordinary hut without any obvious signs, a group of people were whispering uneasily. "I didn't expect this kid to be from the palace and related to the third camp."
"Looking at how young he is, how could he be related to the Third Camp?"
"Let's not talk about it for now. The news has suddenly spread in the past few days and many brothers have been lost. Maybe it's because of this boy."
Their expressions were unusually nervous, as if everyone was waiting uneasily for something.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door. The gangsters looked at each other. One of them walked over hesitantly, but did not open the door immediately. He was listening carefully to the knock on the door.
If you distinguish carefully, you can hear that the knocking outside the door seems to be intermittent and very impatient, but in fact there is a fixed pattern inside. The people in the room seem to hear something from this intermittent sound, and immediately open the door and respectfully
Welcoming people in.
The visitor walked very quickly and walked straight into the room without looking at the person who opened the door for him. He asked reproachfully: "What's going on? I heard that Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment are investigating you recently? I
Didn't I tell you not to mess with those rich and powerful families?"
The usually arrogant gangsters all lowered their heads with guilty consciences and dared not speak.
They were also in trouble. Who would have thought that if they stopped a kid on the roadside, he would be bumped into by someone from the palace. The kid was young and unattractive, and he looked like he was "very easy to bully".
He showed it on his face, and his martial arts skills turned out to be higher than those of them combined.
What was even more speechless was that the child they stopped randomly on the street was the neighbor of the only family where someone died. The child turned around and told the boy from the palace. Recently, the Ministry of Punishment and
Dali Temple always arrests people on the charge of murder, and the form is very severe.
A gangster who seemed to be the leader of this group begged the angry man in a low voice: "We already know that we are wrong, but the wind here is too tight now, and it is inconvenient for us to continue looking. As for the place you want us to look for, we already have it."
Eyebrows clear."
After hearing the news, the man's expression suddenly became much better: "What, where is it?"
"We can take you there, but can you please show mercy and rescue those brothers who have been captured?"
The man's face darkened: "Are you negotiating terms with me?"
"Don't dare, it's just a small request. I hope you can agree."
The man seemed to weigh for a while: "It's not impossible to save them, but you have to think clearly that even if we rescue them, we will not be responsible for transferring them. Taking them will only drag you down, not to mention that the man from Dali Temple is here, I'm afraid you
My brothers have already explained everything to you at this time."
When Lin Fei, also known as Mu Mu, came back from Dali Temple, he brought back a piece of food for Lin Chong: "Young Master, don't tell me, although these gangsters have no ability, they are still loyal. Even Guan Shaoqing would find it difficult to follow them.
They asked for anything valuable, but fortunately there was a soft persimmon to pinch."
Lin Chong was very disdainful of his attitude of boosting others' ambitions and destroying his own prestige. He reached for the confession and asked by the way: "Is there anything else?"
"Also," Mumu hesitated: "Master, Guan Shaoqing said that he has been tired recently and needs to rest for a few days, and stop rushing people to Dali Temple endlessly."
Lin Chong said, "I want to ask for leave, but I can't." As for the second half of the sentence, he automatically became selectively deaf.
This confession is not clear. It seems that either Guan Shaoqing's move was too important or that this kid was just a rookie and didn't know anything. However, this confession did confess that he was the murderer of the three members of the family, and he generously gave away his
The accomplice confessed.
"Interesting, this guy must be the undercover agent of our enemy Ampei. He wants to write down all the gossip he knows."
This confession was written in a mess and there was no clue. The only useful part was that he confessed his crime but it was a unclear description. According to him, the things they did in the capital were all done under the instructions of others and were not their intention.
There is another purpose for stopping people on the street. According to their boss, they are looking for a tree.
"Tree? What tree?" Mumu was stunned. He didn't expect that these people would make such a big fuss in the capital just because of a tree?
Lin Chong shook his head: "Actually, he doesn't know. He is just a gangster who followed them halfway. I will not tell him such a thing."
Mumu nodded: "Master, what's next? What should we do next?"
Lin Chong didn't seem to care much about the confession and threw it to Mu Mu: "Remember to return it to Dali Temple tomorrow." Mu Mu wanted to ask what was going on, but Lin Chong was already shaking his head and getting ready to have a meal.
"What are we going to do now?" he asked Lin Chong's back loudly.
"Don't be anxious. There are people who are more anxious than you right now. Let's just wait here. Tell Ling Yiqu not to let others run away in vain."
Mu Mu didn't understand what the young master said at all, but fortunately, it wasn't just once or twice that he didn't understand. Now that Mu Xi was not present, he couldn't continue to struggle and retreated with his confession.
