Ming Dynasty: He was ordered to give lectures in prison, but Lao Zhu eavesdropped and made people nu

Chapter 626: Poison Pearl
In the capital city.

The warm but still chilly spring breeze swept across the corner towers of the Forbidden City.

Under the brilliant sunshine, everything seemed to be going on peacefully and orderly. However, under this warm sunshine, the Imperial Master Lin Che was faced with a more complicated situation than ever before.

Just as Lin Che was in the imperial study, discussing the arrangements for state affairs with Zhu Yuanzhang.

A Jinyiwei rushed in hurriedly.

With an anxious look on his face, he handed over a secret letter that smelled of dust.

"Reporting to His Majesty, Imperial Master, the Ming trade group in the Mongolian grasslands was attacked by unknown robbers!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's brows were furrowed, and his whole body stiffened. Such news was like a bomb, exploding in the peaceful court.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that if this matter was not handled properly, it would most likely cause friction or even conflict between ethnic groups, affecting the delicate relationship between the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia.

"Imperial Master, I don't want to see fire on the border." Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice.

"This matter is of great importance. I want you to handle it."

Lin Che nodded slightly, his eyes gleaming with wisdom: "Your Majesty, rest assured. Leave this matter to me. I will investigate it thoroughly."

Time seemed to freeze as it passed, and a storm was brewing in secret. Lin Che did not waste a moment and immediately began his investigation.

First, he assembled a team of the most elite Jinyiwei spies and arranged for them to act in the spotlight and collect intelligence.

After a detailed tracing and careful investigation, Lin Che soon found some strange things. The robber's whereabouts were elusive and it seemed that he had help from an insider. Relying on his experience in solving major cases before, Lin Che quickly locked onto a powerful force with mixed qualities.

This powerful faction is a mixture of good and bad people. For the sake of interests, they are willing to sacrifice national justice and the peace of people's lives. They secretly colluded with small tribes on the border and planned this attack.

“How dare these scoundrels do such a thing!” Lin Che’s eyes showed a hint of coldness. He knew that he had to take action himself and root out this dirty force.

Zhu Yuanzhang was walking back and forth in the imperial study at this time. Although he did not directly intervene in this matter, it was difficult for him not to take this matter seriously as it concerned national peace.

When Lin Che came in to report the progress, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately asked nervously: "National Master, what's the situation?"

Lin Che said calmly with a sullen face, “Your Majesty, I already understand the cause and effect of the matter. This group of people is deeply rooted, but I already have a countermeasure.”

"Okay, I feel relieved with your words." Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but clap his hands. He had full faith in Lin Che's ability. Lin Che used all his resources to set up traps skillfully and finally revealed the truth at a premeditated banquet.

Directly take down many leaders of that powerful faction.

This evil group was destroyed in one fell swoop.

Afterwards, in an open trial in the court, Lin Che exposed the ugly deeds of these traitors to the public. His majestic posture and ironclad testimony made everyone feel awe.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood on the high throne, watching Lin Che's back as he handled the case, and a sense of pride surged in his heart: "My national teacher is indeed easy to capture."

Lin Che stood in the hall, looking at the dignitaries, and said only one sentence, which made everyone present stand in awe: "No matter if you are rich or poor, you must respect the law and your heart."

After this turmoil, the trade routes between Ming Dynasty and Mongolia were unobstructed again.

Lin Che's wise move also brought Daming's international reputation to a new height, and Zhu Yuanzhang specially invited Lin Che to a banquet.

And praise his achievements in front of everyone.

Lin Che's name became well-known throughout the Ming Dynasty.

This is a contest of wit and strength, and a testimony to the national teacher Lin Che's actions to maintain the stability of the country.

It also once again demonstrated his unknown awesomeness to the world.

Lin Che stood outside the palace, looking at the mountains and rivers in the distance. Behind him was the trust and peace of the entire Ming Dynasty. The lights were bright.

Tonight's court banquet is destined to go down in history.

It was not because of the treasures of the prosperous times that he gained glory, but because he was the orchestrator of a conspiracy, and he almost shook the foundation of the Ming Dynasty under this splendor.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat upright on the throne, his majesty overpowering all the others. The jade pendant in his arms sparkled brightly in the candlelight, and a hint of Yan Yun flashed between his brows.

How could he know that among the civil and military officials he trusted, there were murderous intentions lurking.

Imperial Preceptor Lin Che had a cold face and a fierce gaze. He had long noticed something was wrong. Whenever the palace maids quietly brought the guests delicious food, a hint of nervousness would appear in his mind like a clue.

"Your Majesty, Imperial Master, this pearl is truly magnificent!" a guest exclaimed in amazement.

What attracted everyone's attention was a crystal clear pearl placed on His Majesty's desk.

It is exquisite and attractive, and seems to be able to reflect people's hearts.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly and reached out to touch him, but Lin Che suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, please wait!"

The whole audience was in an uproar and the guests were talking about it.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly and looked at Lin Che in confusion.

Lin Che frowned, he stood in front of the pearl, stretched out his hand and focused, and in an instant, the pearl turned into a drop of black liquid and dripped into the golden plate.

"How...how is this possible!" Everyone couldn't believe it.

Those exclamations were mixed with a host of sinister rumors.

“Poison bead!” Lin Che’s voice was as loud as a bell.

Look around at everyone.

"This is a deadly poison called Night Rain. It can spread silently throughout the human world. After a few hours, it can cause bleeding from all seven orifices and cause death."

The atmosphere of the palace banquet froze in an instant. Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned pale. He looked at the calm imperial teacher, and a huge wave of emotions surged in his heart.

“Lin Che, how did you find out?” Zhu Yuanzhang’s voice trembled.

Lin Che glanced at the crowd at the banquet. "The moment this pearl lost its luster, I realized something was wrong. I assessed the situation and used Taoism and the art of eunuchs to finally reveal its true face."

Hearing all this, the guests looked at each other in bewilderment. No one had ever imagined that there was a crisis hidden among the people at the banquet.

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious. He knew that this was not only a threat to his own life, but also a huge blow to the stability of the Ming Dynasty.

"It's a conspiracy in the open, it's betrayal in the eyes, Lin Che, we must get to the bottom of it."

Lin Che nodded in agreement.

He turned to the many civil and military officials at the banquet and said, "This matter concerns the emperor. I need you all to accept the investigation so that we can find the person behind it as soon as possible."

Under the arrangement of the imperial teacher, Zhu Yuanzhang was escorted away quickly, and important officials and concubines in the court were surrounded by the Jinyiwei, and a rigorous investigation began.

The situation in the court suddenly changed, and everyone felt an unprecedented solemn and tense atmosphere.

however.

Thanks to Lin Che's timely discovery, the mastermind's plan to recover the poison failed and was soon exposed. The national teacher used his superb medical knowledge to develop an antidote, which eliminated the poison for Zhu Yuanzhang and saved him from the brink of death.
