Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 122 Cutting the Trouble with a Quick Sword

"You're making too much noise."

When Wang Qi came to visit Chu Danqing, his first words were to ask him to be at peace.

After receiving the letter from Xiong Zhigang, Wang Qi was very happy to help Chu Danqing block the pressure from the court.

As a result, before any action was taken, Chu Danqing made a big deal out of it.

Before the plot even began, Chu Danqing had already been severely impeached.

"Your Majesty was assassinated before, and I suspect it was related to the Sushen spies." Chu Danqing said slowly.

This was the fifth day since he received the imperial edict from Emperor Taichang. With such a powerful position at his disposal, the investigation was making considerable progress.

A large number of Sushen spies were eradicated, and through the interrogation of these spies, many people were brought out by following the clues.

Not everyone actively colluded with the Sushen spies. As spies, they disguised their identities and deliberately approached them to establish relationships and relationships.

Most of these people are well-known figures in the court.

Otherwise, why would the Sushen spies want to associate with you? They would choose to make friends with you precisely because you are valuable, so that they can extract intelligence from you.

The impeachment of Chu Danqing was not because the matter had gotten out of hand, but because it had implicated themselves.

I can't let Chu Danqing continue investigating, otherwise I will be dead.

However, Emperor Taichang did not take any action. He ignored the impeachment memorials and secretly gave Chu Danqing more support.

The main reason was that Chu Danqing found out too many things that scared him.

His former East Palace was a sieve, and his current capital is also a sieve.

In the eyes of Emperor Taichang, Chu Danqing is the person who can help him consolidate his rule.

"But the court is in turmoil now, so it's not advisable to make any big moves." Wang Qi sighed.

"Lord Wang, you can ask for an imperial edict from His Majesty." Chu Danqing was not going to give him face.

He was still being tactful in his words. After all, Wang Qi was considered a member of the same camp. If anyone else came, he would have cursed.

If the court was not dealt with drastically, Taichang Kingdom would be destroyed and the people would suffer even more.

"Please in." Chu Danqing pointed to the door, intending to see the guest off.

He doesn't have time to take it slow; he has to cut the Gordian knot as the trial mission has a time limit.

"I know Lord Chu is loyal, but the Taichang Dynasty is in a state of dire straits. We should not rush into it, but should unravel the situation more thoroughly." After Wang Qi finished speaking, he stood up and left.

Chu Danqing did not see him off, but continued reading after he left.

About twenty minutes later, there was a commotion outside.

"Sir, something bad has happened!" A Yulin Lang rushed in, his expression anxious. "Sir Wang Qi was assassinated a quarter of an hour ago."

Chu Danqing stood up suddenly, his expression full of disbelief.

"Has the person been caught?" Chu Danqing asked immediately.

"He's been caught. He's from Sushen and is already in jail." Yu Lin Lang replied immediately.

"Go report to His Majesty, and then take me to the prison." Chu Danqing suspected that the Sushen army had already moved south.

Otherwise, he would not have dared to provoke the Taichang Dynasty like this.

Chu Danqing went all the way to the prison. The Sushen man who killed Wang Qi was still alive and was being questioned.

He was in a daze, with dull eyes and saliva dripping from the corners of his mouth.

Obviously, he was a tough nut to crack, so he was given medicine directly.

Even after the effect of the medicine wears off, you will become a fool.

Chu Danqing listened quietly to their questions and learned the whole story.

The ones who took action were the Qiutan Party. When they learned that the Sushen were moving south, some of them decisively chose to betray the Taichang Dynasty and join the Sushen people.

Since they lost power during the Taichang Dynasty, it would be better for them to cooperate with the Sushen people and seek the merit of following the emperor.

For them, losing power is worse than death.

If they really died, they would definitely not be happy.

The interrogation took nearly an hour, and Chu Danqing obtained the confession and the list.

Wang Qi's death was the Qiutan Party's token of surrender.

"Notify the Imperial Guards on duty outside to arrest the man." Chu Danqing gave the order immediately.

Whether it is true or false, let’s catch the person first.

Among the people on the list, many have impeached Chu Danqing.

He's a good guy, but he doesn't want to be pointed at a gun.

Chu Danqing is a mentally healthy person and naturally has his own joys, sorrows, anger and happiness.

Being willing to help others does not mean that he has no temper and will forgive others without limits.

One must have the heart of a bodhisattva and the angry eyes of a vajra.

This way you can help others while protecting yourself.

After Chu Danqing finished the work, he immediately took Wang Qi's body, which had been examined, to see Emperor Taichang.

Emperor Taichang waited for a long time, and when he saw Wang Qi's body, his expression showed obvious sadness.

"It was my fault. I was too impatient and harmed the teacher." Emperor Taichang said.

When he was the crown prince, it was Wang Qi who protected him.

After ascending the throne, Wang Qi became the biggest supporter of his new policies.

During his reign, he eliminated bad policies and actively carried out reforms with the intention of restoring order.

Without Wang Qi, the difficulty of implementing Emperor Taichang's new policies immediately increased significantly.

Chu Danqing didn't say anything, but asked someone to submit the confession and the list.

Emperor Taichang's face changed drastically after reading it.

Now we are really facing internal and external troubles. It has only been five days and Xiong Zhigang is still on the way.

"This is just a guess." Emperor Taichang really wanted to get a positive answer from Chu Danqing.

Chu Danqing shook his head: "I don't know."

How could he know whether it was true or not, but with this matter put on the table, no one dared to take it as false.

"I will give you another seven days to eliminate all the Sushen spies in the capital." Emperor Taichang was anxious.

If he doesn't hurry up, he won't be able to keep his throne.

"I will give you a handwritten order, and you can mobilize 3,000 troops from the capital." Emperor Taichang added a price.

The Imperial Guards should not be moved lightly. After all, their main responsibility is to protect the imperial palace, so the number of people sent out on field duty at any one time is limited.

But this time the 3,000 Beijing troops are different, they are completely controlled by Chu Danqing.

However, in terms of business capabilities, the Beijing Camp is still far inferior to the Imperial Guards.

It's okay to ask them to fight and kill, but it's difficult to ask them to investigate a case.

"What if it involves the Investigation Bureau and Admiral Li?" Chu Danqing asked again.

Emperor Taichang was silent for a moment, then said immediately: "Catch!"

Emperor Taichang knew clearly which was more important, the Investigation Bureau or the throne.

After hearing the answer he wanted, Chu Danqing left immediately, then took the imperial edict and the Imperial Guards Military District to mobilize 3,000 Beijing troops.

They immediately blocked the capital and declared martial law.

Then came the large-scale arrests and interrogations.

After a busy day, the general framework and direction were determined, and all that was left was to wait.

Then, Zhuo Bufan came to the door.

"Lord Chu, Gu Shushi is trying to escape." As soon as they met, Zhuo Bufan stated the key point.

Gu Shushi was one of the eight leaders of the Qiutan Party who called themselves the Eight Gentlemen, and was also the founder and core figure of the Qiutan Party.

It can be said that without him there would be no Qiutan Party.

Up to now, he has served three Taichang emperors and is highly respected.

Emperor Taichang has not touched him yet.

Now that he had heard the news of Wang Qi's death, he realized that his reputation and qualifications were no longer useful.

If you don't escape now, you'll die.

"Lead the way and stop this old guy." Chu Danqing naturally couldn't let him escape.

Chu Danqing mobilized a hundred Beijing troops and asked Zhuo Bufan to lead the way, while Zhao Mingqian and Yuan Shanhu were watching.

When they arrived, Gu Shushi and his family had already left the city.

He didn't know how he got out of the city, but everyone at the city gate was held down.

Gu Shushi was stopped before he could run.

"Lord Chu, I'm just returning to my hometown to visit my relatives. Why do you have to be so aggressive?" Gu Shushi got off the carriage. He was no longer as high-spirited as before, but looked very old.

"Water drips from the eaves, and you, Lord Gu, are being dishonest." Chu Danqing said immediately, "You enjoy the splendor and wealth yourself, but you block mine."

"Do you think it fits?"

While Chu Danqing was speaking, the Beijing Camp and the Imperial Guards had already taken action.

All of Gu Shushi's family members were detained.

"Cough, cough." After coughing twice, Uncle Gu took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth.

Suddenly, his throat swallowed something.

Chu Danqing originally thought that the other party had committed suicide by taking poison, and was about to take action when Gu Shushi spoke first.

"When I was the dean of Qiutan Academy," Gu Shushi straightened his back, his old appearance undergoing a drastic change. "I also practiced martial arts."

The bones in his body crackled, his energy and spirit became rejuvenated, and his aura changed.

"I fought with Master Zi Yu of the Chanluo sect for twelve rounds when I was young, and I narrowly defeated him with one move." As Gu Shushi spoke, he took action without hesitation.

Chu Danqing smiled and said immediately, "Master? Haha."

Dabao pounced forward, and his sharp claws pierced through the opponent's waist.

Uncle Gu, who had just been speaking arrogantly, suddenly bent over like a shrimp and curled up on the ground wailing.

Zhuo Bufan's eyes twitched as he was standing by. Even though his master had practiced martial arts for many years, he would not dare to attack the army alone.

Gu Shushi did practice martial arts when he was young, but after entering the court, he had no time to practice anymore and it was abandoned long ago.

Even Li Wanwu, the commander-in-chief of the Criminal Investigation Bureau who was once a top expert, has now seen his strength decline seriously.

"You are very confident in your martial arts." Chu Danqing praised.

As he spoke, Dabao picked up Gu Shushi.

Fortunately, he didn't have time to use his clairvoyance to check Uncle Gu's digital data, otherwise he would have lost 10 mana points.

"Someone come and bandage him." Chu Danqing said, and a soldier from the Beijing camp came forward to treat him.

When Dabao's Tearing Claws are activated, they will cause tearing damage, bleeding status, and corresponding mana damage.

Fortunately, he was only hit on the kidney. If he had been hit a second time, Gu Shushi would have really died.

After the bandaging was completed, everyone was quickly taken back.

In addition, Chu Danqing also sent people from the Beijing Camp to strengthen the security at the city gate.

To prevent such high-ranking figures from escaping again.

"I want to see His Majesty, I want to see His Majesty!" Gu Shushi also realized his situation and immediately shouted, "I am a minister of Taichang. You have no right to arrest me."

"Hey, now you know you are a minister of Taichang? Why didn't you rush to collude with Sushen?" Chu Danqing said sarcastically, "It's too late."
