After a while, Jiang Qiulu and Di Yunhao hurried to the crime scene.
At this time, Chen Jingming's body was still there, surrounded by many Jinyi guards.
Don't let anyone get close.
Many of the ministers in the palace live in this East Street.
Cross East Street to reach the Royal Palace.
Jiang Qiulu saw the position of the body and then looked at the direction the body was facing.
You can probably guess in your heart that Chen Jingming was preparing to go to the palace before his death.
"Your Majesty, please look!"
At this time, Chen Fei came over and handed Jiang Qiulu something.
This thing is exactly a poison dart.
It is exactly the same as the weapon used to assassinate the Minister of Tobe Ji Zheng last time.
"It's this person again." Jiang Qiulu said slowly.
"Your Majesty, this person has killed two people in the palace."
"If he is not arrested in time, I am afraid that all the ministers and even the people of Kyoto City will be killed."
"Everyone will live in panic." Chen Fei said.
Jiang Qiulu smiled bitterly.
"I also want to arrest him."
"However, there are no directional clues."
"It's unjustifiable to arrest someone based on speculation." Jiang Qiulu said, covering his forehead.
After searching for a while, I found that there were no clues except this poison dart.
"Take the people back."
"It's inconvenient to keep it here all the time." Jiang Qiulu said.
The next moment, several Jinyi guards came forward and carried Chen Jingming's body back to the Zhenfu Division.
"Envoy Chen Zhen."
"I'm here!"
"Send someone to check Chen Jingming's home to see if they can find anything." Jiang Qiulu said.
Chen Fei immediately took the order and left.
Without any clues, Jiang Qiulu could only send people to Chen Jingming's house to investigate.
As for the incident on East Street, Prince Yong's Mansion has already learned about it.
"Well done, Commander Zhong!"
"Chen Jingming wants to betray me and go to Jiang Qiulu."
"You are really seeking death!" King Yong snorted coldly.
"Your Majesty, the Town and Fu Department has sent people to investigate this matter."
"Chen Jingming's body has not been disposed of yet, will they doubt us?" Lin Qingzhi asked.
"Hmph, let them doubt it."
"Without evidence, they don't dare to arrest people at will."
"As for Chen Jingming's body, it doesn't matter if it's left there."
"Just think of it as a deterrent to Zhenfu Si." King Yong said proudly.
Then, King Yong turned his attention to Shen Liancheng who was standing aside.
"Master Shen, thank you for reporting this matter."
"Otherwise, if Chen Jingming arrives at Jiang Qiulu's side, we will be in trouble." King Yong said.
"Your Majesty, what should we do with the guards at Chen Jingming's house?" Shen Liancheng asked.
King Yong thought for a moment.
"In order to prevent the news from leaking, we took them all to the wilderness."
"Then……"
King Yong didn't say any more and just made a beheading motion.
Shen Liancheng understood immediately.
"Captain Zhong, take action tonight."
"Lest the night be long and have many dreams." King Yong said to Zhongli.
"No!" Zhongli agreed immediately.
"Chen Jingming is dead, so the position of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment is vacant."
"According to the process, Zhou Ning'an, the Minister of Punishment, will temporarily act as the Minister of Punishment."
"Master Shen, please take care of this matter."
"My lord, don't worry." Shen Liancheng said.
"Zhou Ning'an is also one of ours, so he shouldn't rebel."
King Yong shook his head.
"Originally Chen Jingming was one of ours, but now he has rebelled."
“Remember, you can’t act too hastily, you must be steady.”
"Our power can no longer withstand any losses." King Yong said.
…
Night falls.
According to King Yong's order, Zhongli secretly took all the guards in Chen Jingming's mansion to a barren mountain.
A total of twenty-seven people were killed.
"Let's go back quickly."
"So as not to be discovered."
"The people from the Zhenfu Division must be watching us now."
"We must not be discovered by them." Zhongli said to these Black Dragon Army soldiers.
After everything was settled, Zhongli quickly returned to the city.
The remaining soldiers still stayed outside Kyoto.
King Yong has been waiting in the mansion.
"came back."
King Yong asked when he saw Zhongli returning.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"A total of twenty-seven guards in Chen Jingming's mansion have been silenced," Zhong Li said.
"very good."
"This way Jiang Qiulu and the others will be able to find nothing to investigate and won't be able to find any clues."
"You should stay in the mansion these days to avoid being discovered by the Jinyi guards outside." King Yong said.
"promise!"
However, despite all their calculations, they were still discovered by Jin Yiwei who was secretly investigating.
Unbeknownst to King Yong, Jiang Qiulu had already sent a team of royal guards to monitor King Yong's mansion.
There is also the Black Dragon Legion in Qinglong City, whose every move is also under surveillance.
Soon, the news spread back to Beizhen Fusi.
On Jiang Qiulu's side, Jin Yiwei had already arrived at Chen Jingming's house.
"Strange."
"Why is there not a single guard in Chen Jingming's house?"
As soon as Chen Fei entered Chen Jingming's mansion, he discovered something was wrong.
"Your Majesty the Governor, you may have learned that Chen Jingming is dead."
"Everyone has dispersed." said a member of the household behind Chen Fei.
Chen Fei shook his head.
"wrong."
"Even if they get the news, they will all disperse."
"Then where are they now?"
"The entire Kyoto city has been searched, and there are more than 20 people in the mansion."
"Why didn't anyone find it?" Chen Fei felt that this doubt was a very important key.
"My lord, the governor, I think so."
"We can't find anyone, there are only two possibilities."
"Either these people have left Kyoto City."
"Either he will be killed!" Baihu said.
Chen Fei felt that this statement was reasonable.
"It seems that we need to ask General Di about this matter."
"Ask the guards at the city gate if they noticed anyone leaving."
At this moment, a royal guard arrived.
"Lord Zhenfu Envoy, there is news from Beizhen Fusi."
"Zhongli, a subordinate of Prince Yong, left Prince Yong's Mansion two hours ago."
The news about this Jin Yiwei just proved what the Baihu said just now.
If Zhongli takes these people out quietly and then kills them.
Then we will cut off all available clues.
"You continue the search, I'll go to the Jingxi Camp!"
After that, Chen Fei left here and went to find Di Yuanzheng.
Before arriving at the Jingxi camp, Chen Fei happened to meet Di Yuanzheng who was about to go out.
"Where is General Di going?" Chen Fei asked.
"Chief Minister Chen Zhen, you came just in time." Di Yuanzheng stepped forward.
"The city gate guards came to report that Zhongli left the city two hours ago."
"Just now, I just returned to the city."
"But his reason for leaving the city was to go to the Black Dragon Army's camp outside the city." Di Yuanzheng said.
"That's right!" Chen Fei said with great certainty.
Now, Chen Fei can conclude that the initiator of this incident is none other than Zhongli!
