Chapter 585 Palace Assassination Case

Time flies, and it is the ceremony marking the twelfth anniversary of the Emperor's accession to the throne.

Everything is perfect and there is no room for error.

And under such strict protection, not even a fly could fly into the imperial kitchen, let alone anyone putting anything unclean in it.

However, it was this place that was so well prepared that it became a thorny challenge in the eyes of the enemy.

Late at night, Lin Che stood up and left, he wanted to personally supervise the final preparations for tomorrow's banquet.

In the imperial kitchen, various delicious dishes were presented before the eyes as the five flavors were blended together. When the young eunuchs saw the imperial master, they hurriedly bowed and greeted him.

"The Imperial Master has come tonight. What instructions do you have?"

The chief's chef asked in a low voice, with a hint of awe unconsciously revealed in his eyes.

Lin Che smiled lightly and said calmly, "Nothing, I just came to check it out as the grand ceremony is approaching." As he spoke, he looked around, seemingly just casually inspecting the place.

"Yes, yes." Everyone responded softly, but did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.

Wherever Lin Che passed, everything was in order, and he did not find anything unusual.

Suddenly, a young eunuch carefully picked up a jar of wine and prepared to move it to the warehouse on the other side. The deft gestures and the slightest hesitation did not escape Lin Che's eyes.

“Wait, bring the jar of wine over here. I’m thirsty, Imperial Master.” Lin Che said calmly.

Xiaotaijie was panicked, but still did it.

Lin Che took the jar of wine, shook it gently, and walked to an open area with the jar tucked under his arm.

“Everyone, please stand aside.” Lin Che waved his hand.

Everyone stepped back, and Lin Che poured the wine on the ground, took a deep breath, and then a little green smoke came out as he exhaled, landing on the wine spilled on the ground. In an instant, the wine on the ground bloomed with a different color like a flower, and a fishy smell spread.

The whole place was silent, many people's faces changed drastically, and the head of the imperial chef knelt on the ground, "Master, spare my life, we did not do it on purpose."

Lin Che remained calm and said, "Get up. This is not your fault."

A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, "This tortuous taste... Nanhuang Heart-Eating Flower really took a lot of effort."

Although the palace maids and eunuchs present did not understand why, they could all feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts...It was obvious that the Imperial Master had expected this move.

As an envoy from Annan, Li Xun had long heard of the great name of the Imperial Master Lin Che. He could not help but admire him. “The Imperial Master is indeed brilliant. This vicious plan was cracked before it was even launched.”

Lin Che turned around and smiled: "Lord Li, you are too kind. We still need to sort out the responsibilities for this matter. Why don't we report this matter to the emperor together?"

After Zhu Yuanzhang learned all this, he remained calm, slowly twisted the Nine Dragon Jade Ruyi in his hand, and then said quietly: "Master, I know you must have a plan, tell me about it."

“Your Majesty, the murderer has committed suicide, and the only thing that can identify the murderer is this poison. Our strategy can make the poison backfire on the maker.” Lin Che planned a deeper trap. This trap affects the entire body and requires careful planning.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed, "Okay, I'll do as you say, Imperial Master. I'll wait for you to give me a satisfactory result."

The night was as dark as ink, and the Jinyiwei sneaked into every corner of the capital like ghosts. They repeatedly stressed that civilians must not be disturbed and everything must be done quietly.

Under the planning of the national teacher, the confidant of the powerful official was quietly waiting for the final judgment in that magnificent mansion. …

Imperial Preceptor Lin Che stared at everyone with eyes as deep as mountains. Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon throne with a hint of sharpness between his brows. Some of the ministers seemed to be thinking about something, some were secretly speculating, and some had changing expressions.

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was as steady and loud as a war drum. "Master, have you found out who is behind this incident?"

“Your Majesty, I have found a clue.” Lin Che’s voice was calm, but it caused a commotion among the court officials.

There were whispers in the court, and everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Che. Every time this imperial master showed up, he could resolve the chaotic situation without any effort.

"A clue?" Zhu Yuanzhang raised an eyebrow, looking forward to this imperial teacher who was able to solve countless underworld cases without showing off his abilities.

“Yes, Your Majesty, I have learned from the dark that this is not a simple assassination, but has a deeper political purpose.” Lin Che slowly stood up and glanced at everyone present.

The ministers became restless upon hearing this. Many of them were shocked by the situation, while some knew the whole situation well.

One of the officials stood up involuntarily and said in a panic, "Master, what's the evidence for this? What is the meaning of the boyfriend in the court as a 'traitor'? Could it be..."

“What?” Lin Che tilted his head, his eyes like knives, causing the official to stop talking abruptly. The official sat back dejectedly, the color drained from his face.

Zhu Yuanzhang watched this scene coldly and nodded secretly in his heart. The wisdom of the imperial teacher was indeed extraordinary.

Lin Che turned to Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is dangerous, and I must think carefully, but there are indeed a few key figures who need your approval to arrest."

Zhu Yuanzhang did not hesitate for a moment and said in a deep voice: "I allow you to handle it with full authority."

Imperial Preceptor Lin Che read out the names of several court officials, including some of the more prestigious ministers in the court, and signaled the Jinyiwei outside the palace to arrest them.

Amid the successive shocks, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression never changed much. He knew that every action of National Master Lin Che had his reasons.

"Your Majesty, Imperial Master, I have something to report."

A Jinyiwei who rushed in from outside knelt on the ground and said in panic.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed with displeasure, "What happened to make you so flustered?"

The words of the Royal Guards were like thunder in winter: "Your Majesty, the people outside seem to have noticed something and have begun to take action."

Lin Che's expression remained unchanged, as if he had anticipated all this. He whispered to Zhu Yuanzhang, "Your Majesty, now is a good opportunity to eliminate the traitor."

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Lin Che, as if he was considering something. After a moment, he raised his hand and said, "Since this plan has already been proposed, let's follow the advice of the Imperial Master and solve it all at once."

At this time, Lin Che walked into the center of the court and paused for a moment, as if to give everyone some time to calm down.

"That group of people has fallen into our trap. They are trying to alienate Ming and Annan and destroy the harmony between the two countries."

"Now is the time for us to destroy its nest in one fell swoop."

His voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard in every corner. Then, he was the first to walk out of the Fengtian Hall, followed by many Jinyiwei, with deafening footsteps.

Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and looked around at the many ministers in the hall, a smug smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
