Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 109: Disciple of Purple Jade Layman
Upon learning that Chu Danqing had been attacked, the prince woke up and met him to comfort him.

As a result, before the two of them could finish their conversation, the captured assassin was killed before he even woke up.

The prince was furious, and everyone in the Eastern Palace, except Chu Danqing, was furious.

This incident once again alarmed Emperor Taichang.

The most terrible thing was that when Xiong Zhigang met Emperor Taichang, he had only just finished telling the story of arms trafficking, collusion with the bandits, and false accusations of dike destruction.

As a result, another person who had experienced it was assassinated. Isn't this a desperate act of killing to silence someone?

Immediately afterwards, the Imperial Guards took over the entire city and imposed martial law, allowing no one to enter or leave.

All those related to the mastermind of the Qiutan Party were ordered to reflect behind closed doors, and the Crown Prince was given full authority to investigate the matter and get to the bottom of it within three days.

Li Wanwu, the commander-in-chief of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, was under the command of the Crown Prince, and was assisted by the Ministry of Justice, the Supreme Court, and the Censorate.

Emperor Taichang's logic was very simple. If someone dared to destroy the riverbank and kill the prince today, he would storm the palace gate and force him to abdicate tomorrow.

Once the prince gained power, he quickly took control of the situation and began to hunt down the murderer.

Chu Danqing did nothing, but the progress of the task soared.

At the same time, the reputation required for his trial mission went from obscurity to a certain degree of fame, and then stopped at fame.

[Reputation: Rising Fame (2362/10000)]

And this number is still increasing, he estimates that it may be upgraded again in the near future.

The entire capital's forces were cooperating in the investigation, so intelligence was delivered to him at all times, and then he would organize it and pass it on to the prince.

The scope of his network of contacts was temporarily expanded to the entire capital.

"All the evidence currently points to the Qiutan Party." Wang Qi said slowly, "Your Highness, I think we should stop here."

Chu Danqing looked at his side quest and it seemed that the direction was not right.

He remembered that what he wanted to find out was the truth behind the attack, that is, who was the mastermind behind Zhang Cai.

But now it seems to have completely shifted to the court struggle. No one cares about the truth and only wants to attack political opponents.

However, the prince seemed to be more and more satisfied with himself, and kept praising him for his prudent work.

The main reason is that the chemical reaction between Xiong Zhigang's report and the assassination of the apostle from the hostile dimension was too fierce.

"Teacher, I don't think it's enough." The prince said in a deep voice. He naturally didn't want to stop at the Qiutan Party. He also wanted to involve Concubine Zheng and Prince Fu.

Taking this opportunity, Prince Fu was forced to become a fief, completely thwarting Emperor Taichang's idea of ​​deposing the eldest son and enthroning the youngest.

After becoming a vassal, the prince was not allowed to enter the capital without an imperial edict.

"Your Majesty, I will not agree to this." Wang Qi said calmly, "Li Wanwu and the three officials are here to escort Prince Fu."

"If you insist on having your own way, you will be blamed."

Emperor Taichang's target is the Qiutan Party, and if they follow his goal, it will all be a help.

The prince took a deep breath, then looked at Chu Danqing: "Chu Zuowei, what do you think?"

He thought that Chu Danqing was quite capable, and just a little bit of his use had created such a huge advantage for him. Perhaps there were other solutions.

"Well, how about starting with Zhang Cai?" Chu Danqing said tentatively.

What could he think? He was just an ordinary person before entering the paradise.

He is neither a counselor nor a military advisor. Even a seasoned court official like Wang Qi has a hard time dealing with him, so how can a young man like him solve the problem?

The prince was a little confused. Zhang Cai was just a small figure. Some people wanted to make something of his body before, but now it was of no use at all.

When he thought that although Chu Danqing's plan was wild and imaginative, it could bring him a lot of benefits, he did not question it.

"The Chu Left Guard Commander is truly ingenious," the Crown Prince praised. "I'll have Zhang Cai's body sent to the Zhang Yu Guard's office. There's no need to be restrained. You can act as you see fit."

He was looking forward to Chu Danqing bringing him enough surprises.

Chu Danqing just felt a stomachache, and had the awkward feeling of being a knockoff that couldn't prove that it was not the real thing.

"Yes, then I'll get busy first." Chu Danqing felt that he couldn't stay any longer, otherwise if he asked him any more incredible questions, he wouldn't know how to answer them.

After leaving, he returned to his office. Before he could even sit down, a guard from the Zhuangyu Guard said that someone had been waiting for him for a long time.

Chu Danqing definitely didn't meet him. Who knew what the other party's situation was, but he said he was an old friend.

He didn't have any old friends. Xiong Zhigang could only report to him without any approval.

Then he realized that it couldn't be Zhao Mingqian, but the other party didn't say his name.

The next are the apostles from other dimensions.

After much thought, I decided to meet him.

As soon as they met, the other party started to introduce himself: "I am Zhuo Bufan, a disciple of the Purple Jade Lay Buddhist of the Chanluo Sect. Nice to meet you, Lord Chu."

"So the person that Brother Zhao sought refuge with in the capital is you?" Chu Danqing looked him up and down. The other person was dressed rather strangely.

The atmosphere of the underworld combined with the temperament of an official family, the clear distinction seems incompatible.

"That's right. Mingqian left Beijing last night. Before leaving, he told me that if I had any difficulties, I could come to find Lord Chu." Zhuo Bufan was not polite at all when he said this.

Chu Danqing naturally felt uncomfortable when he heard this. He said this to Zhao Mingqian.

If someone came to him for help, Chu Danqing would naturally do his best to help him, even though he had been taught the accuracy of his long-range attacks and had helped him on the way. But Zhuo Bufan was just a stranger, completely unaware of the ways of the world, so if he was asked for help right away, he would definitely be reluctant.

For the sake of face, I will first ask what help I can provide. If it is within my ability, I will help.

If it's beyond your ability, forget it.

"I'll try my best. Please tell me what difficulties you have first." Chu Danqing asked.

"My father, Zhuo Qingsui, was the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue. He was implicated in the Donggong attack case and was thrown into prison at noon."

"The attack had nothing to do with my father. He was wronged." Zhuo Bufan said hurriedly.

When Chu Danqing heard this, he asked someone to bring the list.

After the incident, many people were indeed arrested, and the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, Shi Zhuo Qingsui, was soon found.

Judging from the files, he is indeed innocent, and the reason for his arrest has nothing to do with the anti-strike case.

But the problem is that the pro-strike case is not the key now, and all developments are the result of the game at the top.

Unfortunately, Zhuo Qingsui is a serious Qiutan Party member.

It is not difficult to rescue the person, but it is not worth it for Chu Danqing.

It is true that he is a good person, but the premise of being a good person is that he does not endanger himself.

After closing the files and the list, Chu Danqing said, "It's not difficult, but it's complicated."

"It depends on how you want to save him." Chu Danqing gave two options: "First, for Brother Zhao's sake, I will use my power to help you rescue him."

"But afterward, either you don't want to be an official, or you're not popular with anyone."

"The second is the legitimate method. You will obey my orders for the time being. Solving this case will atone for your father's crime. When the Crown Prince ascends the throne, he will surely be promoted to a higher position."

Zhuo Bufan is, after all, a disciple of Master Zi Yu, and is superior to Zhao Mingqian in both strength and ability.

He has official power at his disposal, and it would be much easier if he had the assistance of the disciple who is the leader of the world's largest sect.

"Of course it's the latter. My father has been an honest official all his life. If he knew that I saved him by showing favoritism, how should I deal with him in the future?" Zhuo Bufan did not hesitate.

"Okay, then I will bring the person out for interrogation first to avoid any accidents." After Chu Danqing said this, he quickly arranged for someone to bring the person out.

Zhuo Qingsui was not an important person, and there were not many twists and turns in the process.

After the person was brought in, the father and son were allowed to meet again, and Chu Danqing began to look up information related to Zhang Cai.

It's only been one day, and a lot more have been found. After all, the Zhangyu Guards have also been dispatched, so there will definitely be a lot of gains.

"Suspected to be controlled by Miaojiang's bewitching technique?" Chu Danqing couldn't help but smile when he saw this.

Even with Zhang Cai's mental breakdown, he was still able to accurately lock onto the prince. This was most likely caused by the skills or equipment of the Dimension Apostle.

So he ignored this point and chose to trace the origin of Wu Shi San instead.

"Ghost Market?" Chu Danqing narrowed his eyes. The Guards of the Imperial Guards traced the origin of the Five Stones Powder. There was a place called Ghost Market in the capital.

It is a place where a series of illegal activities such as selling stolen goods and offering rewards occur.

The person behind the scenes is quite mysterious, and the Zhangyu Guards were unable to find out the truth.

There is a high possibility that it is the current Emperor Taichang.

Otherwise, who would have the ability to hide it from the Zhuangyu Guards? Even if it wasn't him, he must have been related to the palace.

"Lord Chu wants to go to the Ghost Market?" After Zhuo Bufan met with his father Zhuo Qingsui, he hurried back and happened to hear Chu Danqing's low voice.

"A large amount of Wu Shi San was found in the stomach of the murderer Zhang Cai. The Zhang Yuwei tracked him down to the Ghost Market, which is why this story came out." Chu Danqing explained.

"Then Lord Chu has found the right person." Zhuo Bufan sat in front of Chu Danqing: "If Lord Chu trusts me, I will go to the ghost market tonight to find out for Lord Chu."

"I'll go with you, and bring two Zhangyu Guards with me so we can have some support." Chu Danqing was not thinking of leading the charge, but was thinking about earning some treasure chests.

It's great to be able to complete tasks while sitting, but the treasure chest income is gone.

The ghost market is an illegal den, which is a good opportunity for him to make some extra money.

He didn't care whether it had anything to do with the palace or not. To him, Emperor Taichang was also in the enemy camp.

If Chu Danqing didn't take action, would the other party ignore him? It would be better to strike first.

"Okay, but Lord Chu, you have a shrine on your back, so I'm afraid you can't hide your identity." Zhuo Bufan pointed at the shrine behind Chu Danqing and said.

Chu Danqing didn't think of hiding his true intentions and said bluntly, "Oh, I'm going there openly, how dare they stop me?"

Now that he is in the limelight and needs reputation, there is no need to hide it.

At worst, we can use this as an excuse to shut down the black market.

"This..." Zhuo Bufan didn't expect Chu Danqing to be so bold.

"Don't worry, there are only two Zhangyu Guards going in with us, but I will have all the Zhangyu Guards on standby to wipe out this so-called ghost market at any time." Chu Danqing was well prepared.

Zhuo Bufan's eyes widened. He was indeed the prince's confidant, daring to even touch the ghost market.

But then I thought, how many people in the world can compare to the prince in power?
