Rule the Ming Dynasty Alone

Lin Guodong knew that a disaster was coming when he saw Song Cheng appearing here, but he was very puzzled: "You... how did you catch up here?"

At this time, blood stained a large area of ​​the room's floor red, and a smell of blood had spread from inside.

While restraining Lin Guodong, the official of Dali Temple quickly entered the room to check and found that Zhao Qi and three others had been killed.

It's just that these three people are not worthy of sympathy. They are destined to be silenced if they do something that will implicate the nine tribes. It can only be said that they were blinded by greed.

"I was present at the time. Although I did not notice the circumstances of the shooting, it is impossible for a single Dahan to complete the shooting without the cover of his companions. When His Majesty handed the case to me for trial, I decided to pursue it. Conspirator!" Song Cheng said honestly as he met Lin Guodong's confused gaze.

Lin Guodong looked at Song Cheng strangely, and still asked in confusion: "As far as I know, you did not torture Dahan at that time. How did you suspect the three of them so quickly?"

"I was afraid that Dahan would get some wrong interference information, so I didn't rush to interrogate him, but secretly found Qian Yi and others to assist. Although I couldn't be sure who was closest to Dahan at the time, the approximate range could still be locked, and Zhang Long He and Li Hu are eager to leave the camp, so I sent people to follow them here!" Song Cheng saw the three dead bodies in the room and told the story of his investigation.

Lin Guodong looked at Song Cheng with complicated eyes, and couldn't help but sigh: "Xiao Shen Jue Guo is really well-deserved! If you were trying Da Han back then, I am afraid that he would be led elsewhere now, and this case would become an open case!" "

"You should tell me, why did you want to assassinate His Majesty? Who is the mastermind behind you?" Song Cheng did not feel complacent about this, and asked seriously.

Lin Guodong knew that he was on the verge of death, so he said bitterly: "Your Majesty demoted me, and I feel resentful. That's why I did this treasonous act without anyone's instructions!"

As he said that, he closed his eyes and looked like he was going to bear everything.

"Come here, take him back to Dali Temple. I will wait for him to interrogate you later!" Song Cheng naturally knew that what Lin Guodong said was definitely not the truth, so he waved his hand and said.

In the last turmoil among the three major Beijing camps, the fates of the three commanders were actually somewhat different.

Zhou Lie, the commander of the Yangwei camp, killed Ma Quan, the eunuch in charge, on the spot. This confirmed the crime of selection, so his home was ransacked, and Qingyun Marquis was implicated.

Luo Li, the commander of the martial arts camp, counterattacked the eunuch Gu Kaiyuan who was sent to take charge of the army. Fortunately, he was not killed. Therefore, he was beheaded for violating military discipline and his family was not involved.

Compared with the above two commanders, Lin Guodong, the commander of Guoyong Camp, is undoubtedly very lucky.

Since the eunuch Gao Jin could not withstand the intimidation and fled the camp at that time, mainly because the eunuch Gao Jin's psychological quality was too weak, Zhu Youtang did not kill Lin Guodong after weighing the situation, but only demoted Lin Guodong to a hundred households.

In fact, in terms of disposal, Zhu Youtang did not have any problems. After all, the army is a place of fierce competition. Lin Guodong did not take action at that time. He was able to scare Gao Jin away with just his bluff. He was considered a talent.

But no one thought that the demoted former commander would become angry because of this and planned the assassination of Zhu Youtang.

Of course, this is naturally an appearance. Lin Guodong is still playing the role of a pawn here, and there must be someone else who planned this assassination incident.

In Qianqing Palace, sandalwood smoke curled up.

"Depose Aegis Yingshu?"

"Aegis Punishment Camp?"

"Please reduce the Aegis camp?"

…

Zhu Youtang had just returned to the palace, and before he had time to commend the palace maid Fan Jinling for her meritorious service, a bunch of memorials arrived at the door.

As expected, after these civil and military officials learned about the stabbing incident that occurred at Camp Aegis, they all pointed the finger at Camp Aegis.

Zhu Youtang looked at the dozens of memorials in front of him. These people didn't care whether the emperor was frightened. Instead, they were eager to jump out and label the SHIELD camp. Are they loyal to the emperor and patriotic?

As dusk approached, Song Cheng came to report the case.

Zhu Youtang did not expect that it was Lin Guodong, the commander of the Yuan Guoyong Battalion. He thought he was a courageous talent, so he showed mercy last time, but he did not expect that he would seek death in the end.

It's just that he has never been kind to women. Since Lin Guodong committed such a serious crime of stabbing a driver, he should naturally deal with it as he should.

Zhu Youtang knew that this assassination was more formal, so he asked calmly: "Do you believe Lin Guodong's story?"

"Your Majesty, you actually showed mercy to him last time, and it is inconsistent with common sense for him to retaliate for this. What's more, this is a serious crime, so I think there must be someone behind Lin Guodong. It's just that I have searched Lin Guodong's home just now, but there is no There is no clue at all, and the room has obviously been cleaned, so please give me some more time!" Song Cheng said seriously.

Zhu Youtang knew that Song Cheng was an idealist, so he looked up thoughtfully and said, "You didn't punish him?"

"Your Majesty, I attach great importance to the mechanism of the case review. Severe punishment can easily force the prisoner to surrender, and it is easy to lead to an unjust imprisonment! Please allow more time, I will expose the person behind the scenes!" Song Cheng thought of what happened to his family when he was a child, and immediately Seriously.

Zhu Youtang found that it was consistent with what he had guessed, so he made a decision and said: "I am very relieved that you were able to find Lin Guodong so quickly! It's just that this case is not trivial. If you hand him over to Dongchang, there will be no need to continue this case." checked!"

"Yes!" Song Cheng hesitated for a moment, but still bowed his hands in a polite manner.

When Zhu Youtang saw Song Cheng leaving, he turned to look at Guo Yong aside and said: "Guo Yong, call Dongchang in your branch and ask Dongchang to go to Dali Temple to pick up people!" After a pause, a fierce look flashed in his eyes and he said: "Be sure to let Lin Guodong speak!"

Although the real intention of this assassination was to prevent the SHIELD camp from growing, the arrow was ultimately aimed at him, and he had to use it to cut him down hard no matter what.

As for the real mastermind behind the scenes, it is not that important. After all, the most urgent thing now is to strengthen the army, and other details can be put aside for the time being.

"Yes!" Guo Yong knew that Zhu Youtang was going to torture Lin Guodong, so he immediately raised his hands with murderous intent.

As the news spread that Lin Guodong, the mastermind behind the scenes, had been arrested, all the civil and military officials who had earlier criticized the SHIELD camp were slapped in the face, and they all stopped.

But after learning this news, the most nervous person was not the Duke of Dingguo, but Zhang Mao of the British Duke.

"It's over, it's really over this time!"

When Zhang Mao learned that Lin Guodong actually ordered Zhao Qi and others to assassinate him, he fell down on his chair and kept mumbling to himself.

It can be said that the British government has suffered great bad luck this year.

Last time, when Zhang Mao was originally watching a play in the Duke's Mansion and enjoying Wu Xun's sunny life, he ended up confusingly inviting Lin Guodong, who had committed a crime, to watch a play at home.

It was this kind act that resulted in him getting an experience card for Fusi Prison in Bei Town. When he was in prison, he was almost convicted of poisoning Hua En.

After finally being released from prison, he had not had a few comfortable days, but Lin Guodong, who had a close relationship with him, actually assassinated the emperor. How could he get away with it?

"Dad, you don't need to panic. I have a plan to protect my father from prison, and also to protect our British government!" Zhang Ming, who had already joined the Imperial Guard, said with relief.

Zhang Mao knew that he, the third child, was the shrewdest, so he asked with great hope: "What's the plan?"

"Dad, I am determined to strengthen the army, but didn't my uncle Funing Hou invite you to the Chengguo Duke's Mansion to discuss how to stop the Aegis Camp?" Zhang Ming had clearly seen the situation in the court and immediately pointed to the core.

Zhang Mao's brows immediately furrowed and he said: "Ming'er, you are going to ask the emperor for your father..."

"Yes, as long as you report it to the Supreme Court, Your Majesty will not think that this matter was done by our British government. Now our British government really has no intention of fighting in the court!" Zhang Ming said with a fierce look in his eyes. .

Zhang Mao couldn't help but feel moved, but he had some scruples and said: "Once the matter is spread, how will our British government deal with it in the future?"

"Dad, we have to protect ourselves now! When you were imprisoned last time, the Chengguo Palace secretly suggested that Your Majesty should be succeeded by your uncle instead. How could he be so evil?" Zhang Ming added another irritation.

According to the rules of succession of titles, this British dukedom was originally inherited by Zhang Mao's brother Zhang Zhong. However, Zhang Zhong was physically disabled, and there were widespread rumors that Zhang Zhong's son Zhang Jie was not his biological son, so Zhang Mao was eventually succeeded.

Zhang Mao thought of the little move made by Duke Cheng Guo, and immediately made up his mind and said: "Okay!"

Just this act of self-protection by the British public Zhang Mao was like a spoonful of oil falling into a red-hot pot, and the stabbing incident instantly erupted into new flames.
