Rule over Ming Dynasty

Chapter 157 With Sword Xuefeng, Aegis will be in danger

The Xuefeng knife is Zhu Youtang's design of cavalry sabers from later generations. It is different from traditional straight knives and curved knives. It is a long knife with a certain curvature.

The blade has two-thirds of the deep arc blood groove, and the handle is thicker, which makes the center of gravity of the blade lean back, while the blade is thin and flexible, and the handle is equipped with a hand guard.

Because this is a weapon innovation of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also one of the trump cards against the Mongolian cavalry in the future, the Xuefeng knife has been listed as a contraband since its birth.

The Xuefeng Knife is now only used in the Aegis Battalion, not to mention the foreign envoys from Nanyang, even the ordinary martial arts in the capital would not be easy to get one.

That's why, although the suspicion of Annan's envoy's murder cannot be completely removed now, the possibility of getting the Xuefeng knife is too low, so the suspicion is greatly reduced.

"Your Majesty, the most important clue in this case is the Xuefeng Knife. I have thoroughly investigated Wang Gong's factory in the past few days. Because Your Majesty strictly forbids the Xuefeng Knife from leaking out, even the defective Xuefeng Knife requires two officials to witness the burning of the knife." , so the possibility of leaking the intact Xue Fengxue is relatively low. I would like to ask for an order to thoroughly investigate the Aegis Camp, and the source of the loss of the murder weapon is likely to be in the Aegis Camp!" After Song Cheng finished explaining the whole story, he proceeded. Please say.

Zhu Youtang's face darkened suddenly, and Dang even smelled a conspiracy, and found that this case was probably aimed at the SHIELD camp.

There are tens of thousands of weapons for killing people, but the murderer chose the Xuefeng Knife. This approach is indeed intriguing.

One is to blame the Aegis Camp. After all, Xuefeng Knife is almost bound to the Aegis Camp, which will intensify his distrust of the Aegis Camp; This case was suppressed, so that after the murder, he could escape unscathed.

Therefore, this case can choose to investigate to the end, but the difficulty is not small.It is also possible to downplay the matter of Xue Fengdao. After all, there are too many headless cases in the world, and everyone naturally suspects that it was the work of the Annan Mission.

On the matter, if Daming hadn't blocked it, the Champa Mission would have fought with the Annan Mission.

Although Guo Yong is only forty years old and needless eunuch, but knowing the cause and effect of this case, he secretly feels a headache and smells a conspiracy.

If this is just an ordinary murder case, it only needs to be investigated, but this case has been involved in the SHIELD Camp through Xue Fengdao.

Obviously, since His Majesty killed Qing Yunhou, Li Min, Minister of the Ministry of Households, and Ni Yue, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, some people no longer dared to sing against the stage, but began to play tricks and tricks.

"Your Majesty, I'm stupid, I don't know whether it's appropriate to ask!" Seeing Zhu Youtang's troubled look, Song Cheng cupped his hands in confusion.

Zhu Youtang couldn't grasp the real intention of the person behind it, so he said indifferently: "What's the matter?"

"The current case has pointed to the Shenshield Camp, and it is reasonable to investigate the whereabouts of the Xuefeng Sword in the Shenshidun Battalion. Why is Your Majesty hesitant, I am very puzzled!" come out.

Zhu Youtang picked up the teacup next to him and said with an open heart: "Song Qing, diplomacy is no small matter! If you don't delve into the matter of Xuefeng Knife and classify Xuefeng Knife as an ordinary knife, then it is Zhancheng and An Nanli The matter of the two Chao families. It’s just that if we reveal the matter of Xuefengdao to the world, not only will it not be conducive to Xuefengdao’s secrecy, but Daming will also be deeply involved in it!”

"Your Majesty, I don't understand diplomacy, but I know that as long as the case is clearly investigated, the case can be announced to the world, and the criminals will be punished in Mingtai, which will show the strictness of the Ming Dynasty's justice! , there's no need to say it out loud, it's just a murder weapon!" Song Cheng said, having his own beliefs, and Dang Shi said what he thought.

Zhu Youtang squeezed the lid of the tea and poured the tea lightly, but said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid I can't find out!"

Even though he is a lofty emperor, there are still too many mysteries that cannot reveal the true face.

The clues to the mastermind behind the assassination incident have been broken, and the real culprit who poisoned Wynn has already become a case without a head, and now the assassination of Wen Jin, the Champa envoy of the same hall, is even more conspiracy-like.

"Your Majesty, as long as I let the minister enter the camp to thoroughly investigate the whereabouts of Xuefengdao, the minister will be able to close the case in three days!" Song Cheng knew that Zhu Youtang was afraid that the case would not be clear, so he expressed his position authentically.

Although the Divine Shield Camp is within the territory of Shuntian Mansion, but he, a young governor of Shuntian Prefecture, wants to enter the Divine Shield Camp for investigation, but he needs Zhu Youtang's handwriting to enter the camp.

It was such a coincidence that the case happened on the day the emperor set off for Tianshou Mountain, so the clue of Xuefeng Knife could not be entered into the Aegis Camp for investigation.

Now that the matter has pointed to Shenjiying, whether it is for his own belief or to serve the emperor in front of him, he must firmly investigate.

Zhu Youtang stopped the teacup brought to his mouth, looking serious and authentic: "Really three days?"

"I only need three days. If you can't find out, Your Majesty will be removed from my official position!" Song Cheng said when he saw Zhu Youtang's heartbeat, and immediately put his future on the line.

Zhu Youtang took a sip of tea, and immediately made a decision and said: "Okay, I will give you three days! If you can't find out the case, you can wait to be punished!"

Although the matter is confusing, but the matter involves Xue Fengdao, this matter is likely to be related to the Wu Xun Group.If he could really find out the mastermind behind the scenes, he would be able to take the opportunity to kill a wave.

Regarding the exchange market between the Ming Dynasty and North Korea, although these people did not stand up and sing the opposite, they all requested that the location of the exchange market be given up in the northeast, not the island that the Ming Dynasty used to exile prisoners.

Naturally, Zhu Youtang could not compromise, not to mention that Jeju Island was the springboard for his future invasion of Japan, and that Daming's desire to become a textile center could not be separated from the development of shipping.

Just wanting to break through these obstacles, just an imperial decree is still too weak, and blood is still needed to clear the way, and the best blood is Wu Xun, who still remembers military power.

"The minister leads the decree!" Song Cheng is a self-confident person who is not greedy for power, expressing his attitude without changing his face.

After receiving the token, he left the Hall of Mental Cultivation directly.

Although Hongzhi made some incomprehensible moves after he ascended the throne, his intuition told him that he was a good emperor.As for myself, I just need to give full play to my strengths and investigate the case well.

"Master Fu Yin, Madam told you to eat on time, we should have lunch now!" Catcher Zhao reminded when he saw Song Cheng coming out.

Song Cheng's face was solemn, and he expressed his opinion: "Time can't be delayed any longer! Let's buy two sesame seed cakes in the street, and rush to the Aegis Camp immediately!"

"Master Fuyin, I think Madam is right! Your body is your own, and you have to investigate the case slowly, so there is no need to waste sleep and food!" Zhao Butou handed the horse rope to Song Cheng, just to preach.

Song Cheng now chooses horses as much as possible when he travels, so he got on the horse and said: "I have issued a military order to Your Majesty for three days! If the case cannot be found out in three days, I promised to help your mother's family to investigate the case earlier." If you can't fulfill it, if you want to overturn the case, you have to find the next Shuntian governor!"

"Don't talk too much, let's do a quick check!" Catcher Zhao's eyes were already big, and he immediately widened them in horror.

North of Beijing City, the Shield Camp.

Since the Aegis Battalion was stationed here, there were obviously more residential houses around, and even more savvy people grew vegetables and fruits here for sale.

Tie Xiangshan was lying in the big tent, snoring like thunder.

Although God bestowed on him a body as strong as a mountain, it also brought him the problem of snoring, and even his own daughter-in-law disliked him when he slept at night.

Since Zhang Yong had gone to Tianshou Mountain with the emperor, and now he was completely out of control in the entire military camp, so he could sleep whenever he wanted here.

It's just that the good dream was soon disturbed. When he was woken up by his subordinates, he saw a black-faced god in front of him, which scared him into thinking that he was meeting Hades.

"Tie Qianhu, do you recognize this knife?" Song Cheng said after revealing his identity, he glanced at Zhao Butou.

Zhao Butou opened the Xuefeng knife wrapped in cloth, but he didn't understand the pale face of this burly man, so he directly sent the Xuefeng knife up.

Tie Xiangshan has already realized that the black-faced young man in front of him is not the King of Hades.

When receiving the knife, the corner of his mouth suddenly raised slightly, and Dang even swung the knife towards Song Cheng.Even if it is the King of Hades, I dare to kill Yama.

what?
Seeing this, the soldiers in the big tent couldn't help but their hearts rose to the top of their voices in fright. They never thought that Tie Xiangshan, who had just woken up, would actually kill someone.

Facing the burly man who suddenly attacked him, Song Cheng watched the blade cut towards him, and his mind immediately ran quickly.It's just that when facing the falling knife, his black face was still very calm.

Seeing that Song Cheng didn't even blink, Tie Xiangshan couldn't help secretly admiring him and said, "Are you not afraid of death?"

call!
Zhao Butou and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Tie Xiangshan retracted his saber in time.

"I'm on a errand, and you're not afraid of punishing the nine clans, why should I be afraid of death?" Song Cheng's face remained unchanged, pointing out the stakes.

The corners of Tie Xiangshan's mouth opened slightly, and his face was suddenly terrified: "You...you are on a mission?"

"Just now, the officer has made it very clear!" Song Cheng said with no expression on his face.

"Lord Qianhu, he just said that!" said the subordinate who woke up Tie Xiangshan.

Tie Xiangshan felt that he had been wronged, and immediately said with a smile: "Song...Master Song, I misunderstood, you must know that you are on an official mission, how can you be so courageous in a humble... lowly position!"

"I want to check the whereabouts of the Xuefeng Knife that you provided at the beginning of the month for the Three Thousand Shield Battalion. Immediately call all the soldiers to bring the Xuefeng Knife to the campus. I want to check the knives!" Song Cheng has never been a person who likes to borrow Those who make trouble, Dang even ordered lightly.

After Tie Xiangshan learned of Song Cheng's intention, he glanced at the Xuefeng knife in his hand and said, "Honorable envoy, just swiped this knife, and I knew it was the one that was lost a few days ago!"

"How did you lose the Xuefeng Knife! If you don't understand, you are an accomplice in the assassination of Wen Jin, the envoy of Champa!" Song Cheng straightened his face immediately, and immediately put pressure on him.
