Jinyiwei's psychic case: the opening is Lingbo Weibu

Just as they left, Zhu Wusi, who was sick at home, received the news.

"Inform Taoist Baisun that no matter what means he uses or how much he pays, I will make sure that bastard Xu Shan can never return to the capital."

"Yes!"

After Duan Tianya left, an aide approached Zhu Wusi and said, "Your Majesty, this Duke Qingguo neither accepted your kindness, nor provided Taoist Baisun with a route and convenience..."

"After the incident, they even made a big show of surrounding the entire Wujin area to prevent the tax silver from being transported out."

"I really don't understand what he's doing."

"Haha."

Hearing this, Zhu Wusi laughed uncontrollably.

Then he said, "The water here is very deep!"

"How much did the six prefectures of Jiangnan declare they had turned over to the national treasury?"

"That's over three million taels of silver."

After he finished speaking, Zhu Wusi asked meaningfully, "Do you think this batch of silver shipped to the capital is enough?"

"Hmm? Your Highness, what you mean is..."

"How many troops does the court allow to be stationed in Suzhou?"

"Five thousand!"

"But what now?"

"More than ten thousand!"

"The number you mentioned is just the regular army. What about the private soldiers that Duke Qing has raised under the guise of suppressing bandits?"

"Conservative estimate, upwards of 30,000!"

"How can we support him, Duke Qing?"

"Tax silver!" the staff member said with sudden realization.

"Is that right? I had so much tax money transported to the capital, but it was robbed along the way. Even if Xu Shan finally found the tax money, it would only be half of the original amount, or even less."

"This situation has occurred. Either the remnants of the Demon Sealing Clan have been transported away through some channel, or Xu Shan is incompetent and hasn't finished searching!"

"What does this have to do with him, the Duke of Qing?"

After hearing this, the staff member's eyes widened and asked, "Switching the pillars and transplanting flowers and trees?"

"Wonderful!"

"Master Baisun's original intention in setting up this scheme was to alienate Zhu Youwei from the Jiangnan gentry."

"But now, I have to take this opportunity to chop that bastard Xu Shan into pieces."

After saying this, Zhu Wusi, who exuded an air of dominance, said in a cold voice: "From the very beginning, this king has never taken those scattered soldiers and generals in Jiangnan seriously."

"What really worries me is the Beiliang Army guarding the north and Yuan Tiangang's deployments in the two lakes and Shudu."

"Of course, the Guanzhong Army can be considered half of Zhu Youwei's direct line. But the Longxi Li family and the Western Region Chu Kingdom have pinned them down inside the pass."

"That's why she's so eager to establish a new army."

"Before the Donglin Party came to power and established the New Army, they were able to check and balance each other."

"But now, the Donglin Party is losing ground. They seem to be giving up command of the new army."

"And the instigator of all this is Xu Shan, a rookie who has killed so many people."

"It's not just me who wants his life; the Donglin Party and the Jiangnan gentry want it too."

Upon hearing this, the staff asked, "Will the Donglin Party also take action?"

"At the very least, Cao Zhengchun will firmly control the Divine Machine Privy and the four great co-governors. The Duke of Qing's Mansion will keep Xu Shan under control in every way in Wujin."

"It may even provide an opportunity for Taoist Baisun."

"They also want to kill someone with a borrowed knife, don't they?"

"So...Xu Shan is doomed to die in this round. No one can save him!"

Just as Zhu Wushi deduced, the Donglin Party and others, who were completely at a disadvantage in the game in the capital, would never allow the "victorious" Xu Shan to return to the capital alive!

They would not foolishly choose to take direct action, but would let the forces they secretly supported contain the Pacification Office.

At the same time, after the birthday banquet ended hastily, Lin Ruoyun personally left the palace and went to Jiming Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha!

As long as the enlightened monk who has descended to the mortal world is still in the capital, you, Shen Ji Shu, have to take precautions.

Upon learning the news, Yuan Tiangang stood with his hands behind his back and looked towards Wujin.

A strange smile formed at the corner of his mouth, and then he said, "Isolated and helpless?"

"Xu Shan, how are you going to break this game?"

Wujin, on the official road in front of Zhangshui Town where the crime occurred!

Officials from Suzhou Prefecture, led by the Jiangnan Governor Ren Feng, braved the glaring sunlight, reined in their horses and stood here to welcome the arrival of the imperial envoy.
