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

In the imperial study, Chu Ze sat upright on the dragon chair, holding the latest secret report in his hand, his brows slightly frowned.

This secret report came from the East Factory and recorded in detail the recent developments in and outside the capital.

Although he had launched a severe investigation into the Huaiwang Mansion, the Nanyang County Prince's Mansion and many aristocratic families, there were still some hidden forces that were operating restlessly.

These forces are like poisonous snakes lurking in the shadows, waiting in the wings and trying to find any opportunity to escape from this storm.

Chu Ze looked at the words on the secret report coldly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"The remaining members of Jiangnan have been wiped out."

"All rebels inside and outside the capital are also under strict control."

"But why... these people are still so stubborn?"

"Could it be that they are still waiting for some opportunity?"

Chu Ze gently put down the secret report in his hand, his eyes revealing a thoughtful look.

He vaguely felt that there seemed to be a deeper secret behind this that had not yet surfaced.

However, the current situation no longer allowed him to have any hesitation or delay.

"Prince!"

Chu Ze spoke coldly, his voice echoing in the empty imperial study.

Eunuch Wang immediately walked in quickly and bowed, "Your Majesty, this old servant is here."

"Immediately send an order for Lu Bing and the head of the East Factory to come to see me."

"I have something to ask them."

Eunuch Wang nodded quickly and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"I will convey your wishes now."

Not long after, Lu Bing and the East Factory Supervisor Cao Zhong walked into the imperial study one after another, both of them with solemn expressions.

"Your Majesty, I am Lu Bing (Cao Zhong) and I pay my respects to you."

"Your Majesty has summoned me. What do you want me to do?"

Chu Ze nodded lightly, indicating that the two of them didn't need to be polite.

"Lu Bing, Cao Zhong, one of you is the commander of my Jinyiwei, and the other is the supervisor of the East Factory."

"Now, the cleansing operations inside and outside the capital have entered the most critical moment."

"I want you two to work together to dig out all the hidden rebels and remnants."

Lu Bing and Cao Zhong looked at each other and bowed quickly, saying, "Your Majesty, we will obey your majesty's order."

Chu Ze nodded slightly, then picked up the secret report from the table and handed it to the two of them.

"This is the latest secret report submitted by the East Factory."

"It records in detail the recent movements of all suspicious forces in and outside the capital."

"You two take a look, what do you find?"

Lu Bing took the secret report, looked at it carefully for a moment, and frowned slightly.

"Your Majesty, the suspicious locations mentioned above are exactly the clues I found when I was tracking down Zhao Kun's whereabouts."

"But the strange thing is that these clues always suddenly interrupted during the pursuit, as if someone was deliberately guiding our attention."

"I suspect that there is a very cunning force hiding behind this."

Cao Zhong read the secret report and nodded in agreement, "Your Majesty, my intelligence network has also discovered some anomalies."

"These suspicious forces are extremely secretive in their whereabouts and act extremely cautiously."

"They seem to know our tracking methods and are always able to move one step ahead."

"Moreover, I suspect that there is a strong force behind them that is secretly supporting them, otherwise they would not be able to be so meticulous."

Chu Ze heard this, his eyes flashed with coldness, and then he sneered: "Humph!"

"It seems that these people do have backers."

"Zhao Kun's kidnapping is definitely not an isolated incident."

"There must be a more powerful force behind this."

"Lu Bing, Cao Zhong, have you found any clues to prove who is behind these forces?"

Lu Bing pondered for a moment and whispered, "Your Majesty, I have discovered that the whereabouts of these suspicious forces have been in contact with the people from the Huai Palace and the Nanyang County Prince's Palace."

"Moreover, after the Huai Palace was sealed off, many secret spies took advantage of the chaos to escape and their whereabouts are still unknown."

"I suspect that these escaped spies are likely the key figures controlling the forces behind the scenes."

Chu Ze nodded, his eyes gleaming with coldness.

"Since these people are so cunning, I will let them know who is truly in control of the situation."

"Lu Bing, Cao Zhong, I order the two of you to immediately mobilize all your forces to conduct a comprehensive investigation of these suspicious forces."

"No matter what the cost, we must find them all!"

"I will use this action to completely destroy all forces that attempt to challenge the imperial power!" Lu Bing and Cao Zhong were startled and bowed quickly, saying, "Your Highness, we understand."

"We will do our best to live up to your majesty's trust!"

Chu Ze looked at them coldly, then waved his hand: "Go."

"From now on, the two of you must work together without any omissions."

"Any suspicious situation must be reported immediately."

"We must not give those poisonous snakes in the dark any chance to breathe!"

"Understand?"

Lu Bing and Cao Zhong nodded quickly and said, "We understand!"

After saying that, they quickly retreated to arrange specific tracking operations.

Chu Ze watched the two people's backs, and his thoughts became more and more complicated.

"Zhao Kun is missing, the palace is in turmoil, the noble families are colluding, and foreign enemies are lurking..."

“All of this seems unrelated, but in fact, there is some deep connection hidden.”

"Over the years, I have been patient and tolerant, waiting for the day when all the dark forces can be completely eradicated."

"And now, the time is finally right."

"I will use this storm to completely dismantle all illegal forces."

"Let them never dare to go against the imperial court again!"

At the same time, the situation inside and outside the capital became increasingly tense.

As Chu Ze issued orders one after another, a large number of Jinyiwei and Dongchang spies were quickly dispatched to seal off all suspicious forces one by one.

The atmosphere in the capital city was as if shrouded in a thick fog. All forces related to Zhao Kun were trembling in the storm and dared not make the slightest movement.

And those forces that had attempted to collude secretly and plot evil were eventually exposed under Chu Ze's iron-fisted approach.

In the imperial study, Chu Ze stood in front of the window, gazing at the capital city outside.

There was endless coldness in his eyes, as if he could see through every dark corner in the city.

"Zhao Kun... where are you hiding?"

"Who is secretly controlling all this?"

"I will definitely find you and pull out all the poisonous snakes hiding in the dark!"

Just as he was thinking, Eunuch Wang hurried in again and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Jinyiwei has the latest news."

"We found traces of Zhao Kun in a remote mountain villa outside of West City."

"But when the Jinyiwei arrived, the villa had been cleared out, leaving only a few remaining secret guards."

"After being captured, those secret guards have been extremely tight-lipped and have not revealed any information about Zhao Kun so far."

Chu Ze heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and then he said coldly: "Very good."

"Since they are so concerned about Zhao Kun's whereabouts, I will definitely find him."

"Pass on my order to immediately block all passages outside the West City."

"No matter what the cost, we must bring Zhao Kun back to the capital!"

"Anyone who dares to stop us will be killed without mercy!"

Eunuch Wang quickly bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"I will convey your order right away."

After saying this, he quickly retreated to arrange the specific pursuit operations.

Chu Ze watched his back, his eyes filled with endless murderous intent.

"Zhao Kun, you can't escape from my grasp after all."

"And those forces that dare to do evil in secret will eventually be completely destroyed by my iron fist!"

At the same time, large-scale manhunt operations were being carried out in and outside the capital.

A large number of Jinyiwei and Dongchang
The spies quickly set out and sealed off all suspicious locations one by one.

All forces related to Zhao Kun, regardless of size, are included in the key review list.

Those forces that had been secretly plotting to confront the imperial court could only tremble in the storm and secretly pray that they could escape this disaster.

Chu Ze stood in the imperial study, listening to the news of victory, and the murderous intent in his heart gradually subsided.

"Zhao Kun, the noble family, the royal palace, the Jiangnan rebels..."

"No one can escape from my control."

"Next, I will completely eliminate all of you poisonous snakes hiding in the dark."

"Let the entire capital city... usher in true peace!" (End of this chapter)
