Wang Zhi set off with a group of people.
He did not investigate the case in Beijing, but went to another place. This was what Zhu Jianshen meant.
Zhu Jianshen didn't want to press too hard. Although he had a backup official, it was just a last resort. He didn't want to push people into a hurry if he could.
However, the West Police Factory was set up to deal with the officials. The case must be solved, and it must be a big case.
Just don't put pressure on Beijing officials at this stage. Zhu Jianshen remains steady.
After all...if the knife cuts on oneself, there will be no pain.
The facts were indeed as Zhu Jianshen expected. Although the ministers were dissatisfied when they saw Wang Zhi leaving, they did not react much, and the government continued to operate smoothly.
But none of them expected that Wang Zhi would solve a shocking case.

"Factory Supervisor, where are we going?"
"Fujian!" Wang Zhi obviously had a specific idea and said, "There must be someone in the DPRK paying close attention to our whereabouts. We must be quick."
"yes!"
Wang Zhi is only sixteen years old, but he is already a pyramid among eunuchs. Even a fool can see how durable this father-in-law is - eunuchs generally survive.
Therefore, these people who were selected to join the West Factory did not feel contempt for him because of his youth. Instead, they were more respectful and flattering.
Of course, Wang Zhi's power is also superior to that of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, because he is also the eunuch in charge of the imperial horse supervisor.
In addition to being the governor of the West Factory, Wang Zhi also held military power, and the imperial guards were also within his jurisdiction. This was an extremely powerful force.
A man who is only sixteen years old has such great power and the emperor's favor, so his subordinates will naturally work hard.
Only by following promising people can you have a future. This is the simplest and simplest truth.
The group of people hurriedly went straight to Fujian.

Japan.
After two months of operation, Li Qing not only completely controlled dozens of surrounding villages, but also made great progress in strength.
The elite of his direct line, plus eighty-nine-level samurai, a total of two hundred people, were organized into a team by him. These two hundred people were fully armored and held high-quality steel-clad samurai swords. Their combat power was absolutely arrogant to the entire country of Japan.
At the same time, after two months of training, the reserve team of 300 people increased exponentially in combat strength. In addition, Li Qing selected another 100 people from the miners and recruited more than 400 people in the city and surrounding villages as new reserves. team, training all day.
At this time, he had over a thousand troops.
This force is smaller than the previous Shangshanye, but in terms of combat power, even if Li Qing does not take action, the two Shangshanye may not be his opponents.
Because these warriors under Li Qing are not only very well-equipped and well-trained, but also are treated very well;
What's more important is that there is an upward path, and as long as you perform meritorious service, you can be promoted. Under this system, their enterprising spirit is fully mobilized.
Even Inoue Saburo couldn't help but gear up.
"Great God, the warriors are all hungry and thirsty. Let's fight."
"Wait a moment." Li Qing said, "I have to go to Ming Dynasty first, and we will talk about it when I come back."
Hearing this, not only Saburo Inoue was confused, but Takumi Murakami was also puzzled.
The two advised: "Master, we are at an important stage of development now, how can you leave?"
Li Qing is the soul of this army. Even aside from his terrifying combat power, Li Qing is extremely useful.
There is a huge difference between having him in the team and not having him in the team.
"I won't be away for too long. I'll be back in three months at most." Li Qing comforted him. "When I come back, I will lead you to kill all directions. By then, we will not be able to take advantage of Hosokawa's level of power." Can it be achieved easily?"
"No, if you leave at this time, great god, how can the samurai be appeased?" Murakami Takumi said anxiously, "Three months is too long, and the samurai don't even want to wait one more day;
In Chinese terms, three months is too long, so seize the day! "
"...That's not what the Han people said." Li Qing rolled his eyes and said, "I have to go back, there is no need to discuss this!"
Then, his tone softened: "You two are my right-hand man, both civil and military. You are going to do great things and achieve great things in the future. How can you not be confident in doing this well?"
When the two heard this, they felt much better and became excited, but they were still worried about Li Qing's departure.
Murakami Takumi said: "Master, it's not just the samurai. The Hosokawa family has come to test it two days ago. Although we were prevaricated, the Hosokawa family who got the news will definitely not be willing to accept it. They will either come to recruit again, or they will not be willing to accept it." There’s going to be a war!”
"Yes," Saburo Inoue agreed, "The power of the Hosokawa family is extremely huge. Without you, Master, we really don't know what to do."
Li Qing thought for a while and said: "In this way, if they send people again, they will eat, drink and entertain them. They will stay as long as possible. If they don't agree or refuse, they will throw money at the envoys sent by the other party."
After a pause, he continued: "The Hosokawa clan will not easily deal with our inconspicuous force in a big way. There are four major forces under the shogunate's name. The Hosokawa clan is not the overlord."
"What if they really come to fight?" Inoue Saburo asked.
"Then fight!" Li Qing said, "There won't be too many people coming, we are still defending the city, there is nothing to be afraid of, don't you have confidence in our warriors?
Don’t forget, you are also a famous person now. "
Saburo Inoue's face felt hot and he said no more.
Li Qing looked at Takumi Murakami again and said, "Although we have to prepare for a fight, if we can avoid fighting before I come back, it's better not to fight as much as possible and conserve our strength as much as possible until I come back."
"Yes!" Murakami Takumi nodded solemnly, "In terms of external negotiations, I will do my best."
"Yes." Li Qing nodded and said: "Where are the warriors, I will explain it myself later. My breakthrough in magical power is about to take about three months. Don't let me know."
After hearing Li Qing's arrangement, the two of them felt relieved and bowed in response.

Li Qing arranged a series of matters, took a few confidants as sailors, and set off.
In order to save time, he chose the nearest route and landed at Damingfu..jian.
There is a reason why he is so eager to go back. Now that he has a base and is armed to a certain extent, he is about to start a big fight to completely break the current structure of Japan and strive to plunge it into a vicious cycle of war and make it It gradually gave up production and mainly purchased Ming products.
Subtly, they became miners for the Ming Dynasty, transporting gold and silver to the Ming Dynasty in exchange for supplies needed for the war.
Before that, he first asked the Ming court to expand production. Otherwise, private smuggling alone would not be able to meet such a huge demand.
Moreover, Li Qing did not want those wealthy gentry to take advantage.
Li Qing had the route map in hand, and the journey went very smoothly. It took more than half a month to reach Fujian.
He asked a few people to return the same way and wait for him here a month later, and then set off on the road again.
Li Qing traveled alone, which was quite fast. He arrived in Jianning in just one night.
After walking fast all night, he was very hungry, so he found a nearby restaurant and prepared to have a big meal to regain his strength, and then go get a horse and ride.
He ran faster than a horse, but he was tired!
Besides, he still had one and a half months, so there was no need to be nervous. With his pace, he could reach the capital in less than half a month.
Li Qing sat down by the window, ordered all the signature dishes in the restaurant, then sipped the tea provided by the restaurant and looked out the window to admire the scenery.
'The Ming Dynasty is better...'
Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief. In this land, his heart felt very at ease and warm, as if duckweed had taken root.
Thinking of what he said before, the world is so big and I want to see it, Li Qing couldn't help but smile bitterly.
At the beginning, he lost interest in traveling around the world.
However, some things have nothing to do with interest.
"The food is here..." the waiter in the restaurant said in his signature long voice, carrying the wooden tray and began to serve the food, "Please be patient, sir, the next few hard dishes will be ready soon."
"Yeah." Li Qing picked up the chopsticks and took a bite. He immediately showed an expression of enjoyment and couldn't help but sigh: "The food of Ming Dynasty is still delicious!"
When the boy heard this, he asked curiously: "Is the guest officer a maritime merchant?"
"Uh..." Li Qing knew he had made a mistake and was just about to find an excuse to fool him, when he suddenly heard a commotion outside the window.
He looked down the window and saw people dressed as factory guards walking downstairs, all of them looking fierce.
Li Qing couldn't help frowning and asked: "Man, what happened here?"
The boy wiped his hands, did not continue the previous topic, and said happily:
"My guest doesn't know, but these are all from the capital. I heard... what is the name of Xiji Market? The name sounds like a vegetable market, but it is very powerful. As soon as I came here, I was right. Yang family.”
"Yang family?" Li Qing asked: "Which Yang family?"
"It's the Yang family of Master Yang, the commander of the Jianning Guards!"
Seeing that Li Qing still didn't understand, he added, "Master Yang Rongyang, the veteran of the Four Dynasties, have you heard of it, right?"
"Yang Rong..." Li Qing suddenly realized and asked, "Did the Yang family commit something?"
"Hey, isn't it normal to commit crimes? How many masters are there in Qingtian?" The young man gloated a little, "Commander Yang is not a good person. He does many bad things and has caused many lives."
When Li Qing heard this, his brows that had just relaxed wrinkled again: "No one cares about it?"
"Who dares to take charge? There are people in the capital." The boy said, "The Yang family has been great for decades, but this time, someone is in charge. This Xiji Market Factory is quite powerful. .”
"Waiter, serve the wine!" the official at the next table greeted.
The waiter smiled apologetically: "Sir, please be patient, the next few dishes will be ready soon."
Li Qing said 'hmm', looked out the window again, and murmured to himself: "The Western Police Factory... When did the Ming Dynasty have another Western Police Factory?"
He had only been away for a short time before a new force appeared in Ming Dynasty, which made him very uncomfortable.
Zhu Jianshen, please don’t mess around!
