Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

"Your Majesty, the exact number is not clear yet, but I have sent people to keep a close eye on these people's movements. Once we have solid evidence, we will catch them all in one fell swoop!" Lord Guo said with a bow.

"Well, you did a good job!" Chu Ze nodded, and then said: "However, what I want is all the details. You continue to keep an eye on it, but don't act rashly. I have my own plans!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey your command!" Lord Guo replied.

"Go away!" Chu Ze waved his hand, indicating that Lord Guo could leave.

After Lord Guo left the imperial study, Chu Ze sat back at the table, pondered for a moment, and then shouted, "Someone come!"

An attendant came in immediately and clasped his fists and asked, "What do you want, Your Majesty?"

"Tell Lu Bing to come see me as soon as possible!" Chu Ze said coldly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Not long after, Lu Bing hurried to the imperial study and said with a fist: "Your Majesty, I have followed your instructions. The Huai Palace has been sealed off and all personnel are being carefully checked. There are no major problems at the moment!"

"No major problems?" Chu Ze sneered, "Is there no problem so soon? Keep investigating. I want to know how much the Prince of Huai has done in secret!"

"Your Majesty, rest assured. I have already assigned more people and will investigate this matter thoroughly!" Lu Bing said with a bow.

"Also, according to the news from the Minister of War, many people in the capital are mobilizing troops and preparing to cause chaos!" Chu Ze said with a cold look: "These people are very courageous. They dare to take action on my territory. I want to see what kind of courage they have eaten!"

"Your Majesty, I will immediately mobilize the garrison in the city and take strict precautions!" Lu Bing said immediately.

“No need!” Chu Ze waved his hand and said coldly: “Since these people want to take action, I will let them do it.

But I want to let them know who is the master of this city!"

"Your Majesty has a far-sighted vision. I understand!" Lu Bing replied with his head down.

Chu Ze stood up, walked to the window, and said coldly: "Pass the order down. Three days later, I will inspect the city and let these people see if I have seen through their tricks!"

"I'll arrange it right away!" Lu Bing bowed and left quickly.

Chu Ze stood in front of the window, staring coldly at the sky outside. After a moment, he turned back to the table and continued to look through the memorials.

Three days later, Chu Ze, with his personal guards, began to patrol the capital.

He rode on his horse, scanning the people on both sides of the street with sharp eyes, and had a plan in mind.

The capital city seems calm, but in fact there are undercurrents. He knows that all this is just an illusion.

"Your Majesty, there is a group of unidentified armed men gathering in the north of the city. Should we go and check it out?" Lu Bing rode his horse to Chu Ze and asked in a low voice.

"Let's go and take a look!" Chu Ze said lightly, then he raised the whip in his hand and led the team straight to the north of the city.

After arriving at the north of the city, we saw a group of dozens of armed men gathering, seemingly preparing for some action.

As soon as those people saw Chu Ze's team, they immediately panicked and started to flee in all directions.

"Catch them!" Chu Ze gave an order, and the guards immediately rushed forward and surrounded those people.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Lu Bing rode forward and asked sternly.

The armed men were terrified and quickly knelt down to beg for mercy: "Please spare our lives, sir! We are just ordinary vendors and we didn't mean to do anything!"

"Merchant?" Chu Ze rode forward and said coldly, "Merchant wearing armor and holding weapons? You guys should explain it clearly!"

"Your Majesty, spare us! We were forced to do this. We really didn't intend to cause trouble!" The leader was terrified and kowtowed to beg for mercy. "Forced?" Chu Ze said coldly, "Who forced you?"

"We...we don't know either. We only know that the man claimed to be a subordinate of a senior official in the capital, and ordered us to gather here and wait for orders!" the man answered tremblingly.

"An elder in the capital?" Chu Ze sneered, "It seems that this elder is quite courageous. He dares to mobilize troops under my nose!"

"Take them all back and interrogate them thoroughly. I want to see who is behind this!" Chu Ze waved his hand, and the guards immediately took those people away.

Lu Bing rode his horse to Chu Ze's side and whispered, "Your Majesty, I think there may be a deeper plot behind this matter. These people are just outposts, and the real mastermind has not yet appeared!"

"Yes, I think so too!" Chu Ze said calmly: "Keep investigating and find out their mastermind. No matter who it is, I will not let him go!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will arrange it right away!" Lu Bing bowed and left quickly.

"Your Majesty, all these people have been taken back and are being prepared for interrogation!" Lu Bing walked back quickly and said with a fist salute.

"Interrogation?" Chu Ze sneered: "No need to interrogate slowly, show them some color and make them spit out the person behind it!"

"Understood!" Lu Bing nodded: "I will arrange it right away!"

Chu Ze looked at the armed men being taken away, his eyes flashing with coldness, and then he said to Lu Bing: "By the way, pass the order down, let the guards everywhere step up patrols, and arrest any suspicious people!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lu Bing bowed and accepted the order, then turned around to make arrangements.

Chu Ze turned to the guards beside him and said, "Let's go back to the palace. I want to see what tricks these traitors can play!"

Following Chu Ze's order, the team quickly returned.

When Chu Ze arrived at the palace, he just got off his horse and saw Qin Yunyun hurriedly coming towards him with a worried look on her face.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the capital has been in turmoil recently. Did you find anything during your inspection just now?"

Chu Ze looked at Qin Yunyun and said calmly: "I found some small bugs, but it doesn't matter, I have sent people to deal with them!"

"Your Majesty, you must be careful of these villains and don't let them take advantage of you!" Qin Yunyun advised softly, with concern in her eyes.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on!" Chu Ze waved his hand: "I have my own arrangements, there will be no chaos in the capital!"

Qin Yunyun nodded, and seeing that Chu Ze looked normal, she said no more and turned around to wait on him.

Just as Chu Ze was about to enter the palace gate, Lu Bing hurried over and clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the interrogation results are out!"

"So fast?" Chu Ze raised his eyebrows slightly: "Speak!"

"Those people have confessed. The mastermind behind the scenes is indeed related to the Huai Palace. They revealed a secret passage leading out of the city, which is one of the passages secretly used by the Huai Palace to mobilize troops!" Lu Bing said in a low voice.

"Secret passage?" Chu Ze sneered: "I have long expected that Prince Huai has hidden many tricks, this secret passage is new!"

"Your Majesty, I think we can take this opportunity to follow the clues and catch Prince Huai in one fell swoop!" Lu Bing suggested.

"No hurry!" Chu Ze said coldly: "It's not time for Prince Huai to take action yet.

Let him live first, and I will slowly clean him up when the time comes!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Lu Bing nodded in agreement. (End of this chapter)
