The Jiang Family Was Exterminated, and the New Book of Black Jade Plum Blossom Begged for Everything
Di Renjie had just knelt down to beg for help when the imperial edict arrived.
Wasn't this too much of a coincidence?
Zhu Fan smiled. He looked at Di Renjie and said,""Follow me to receive the decree."
After Di Renjie heard Zhu Fan's words, he sighed and followed Zhu Fan out of the room.
This inn had already been requisitioned by the Second East and West Factory. With the factory guards guarding it, civilians could not enter at all.
When Zhu Fan walked out of the door, Di Renjie, Liu Xi, and the others all knelt down. Only Zhu Fan bowed slightly.
The eunuch who delivered the edict was not Eunuch San Bao, but Zhu Fan had seen him a few times. He was indeed one of Taizu's subordinates.
The eunuch bowed and smiled at Zhu Fan before clearing his throat.
" By the will of the heavens, the Emperor has decreed that the Eastern and Western Halls will suppress Wudang and promote the might of the Ming Dynasty. I am very pleased. The Eastern and Western Halls will be allowed to investigate and judge cases in addition to collecting intelligence. They will be responsible for cleaning up the Jianghu. The eldest grandson of the Emperor, Zhu Fan, has worked hard and made great contributions. He will be bestowed with a nine-tasseled crown and nine-badge robe as a token of his coronation.”
Whether it was Di Renjie, Liu Xi, or the others, they were shocked after hearing the Human Emperor's decree.
Although the eldest grandson of the emperor had a high status, his seniority was still very low. Generally, he could only wear an eight-streamer crown and eight-badge robe.
And give him a nine-streamer crown and a nine-chapter dress?
Only the Prince and the Crown Prince could use this.
This meant that the status of the eldest grandson of the emperor was now on par with the various princes.
What made Liu Xi and the others especially excited was that the responsibilities of the Second East and West Plants had been expanded.
He could really investigate and judge cases.
Don't underestimate this responsibility. One had to know that with this responsibility, one could control the laws of the Ming Dynasty.
It was no longer a small organization that collected intelligence. From a certain perspective, the responsibilities of the Second East and West Plants had already overshadowed the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa.
Furthermore, this decree was definitely sent from the Imperial Capital at top speed.
This was the grace of the heavens. Wei Zhongxian and the others knew that if they hadn't followed the eldest grandson of the emperor, they would never have reached this step!
After the eunuch finished reading the edict, he took off his nine-tasseled crown and imperial edict and said respectfully.
"Your Highness Zhangsun, this is His Majesty's kind intention. Quickly accept it.”
Zhu Fan immediately nodded and asked Liu Xi to take it on his behalf. Then, he looked at the eunuch in front of him and said,
"Eunuch, I believe Imperial Grandfather still has a decree, right?”
The eunuch was stunned and secretly sighed at the wisdom of His Highness Zhangsun.
"Your Highness, His Majesty does have other edict, but it's not for you. It just so happens that Governor Di of Huguang is also here.”
As he spoke, the eunuch took out an imperial edict from his bosom.
Di Renjie sighed slightly. He knew that what should come would come.
"In accordance with the will of the heavens, Human Emperor Zhao Yue, the Jiang family of Huguang was massacred three days ago and the entire family was silenced. The impact is bad and this is a serious matter.”
As he spoke, the eunuch placed the imperial edict in Di Renjie's hands.
Di Renjie took a deep breath and kowtowed.""This lowly subject obeys the decree!"
"Your Highness, this servant still has to return to the capital to report, so I'll take my leave first.”The eunuch said after he finished passing the imperial edict.
Zhu Fan nodded and let Wei Zhongxian send him off.
After he left, Di Renjie knelt in front of Zhu Fan again.""Your Highness, please save me."
Liu Xi and the others looked at Di Renjie and did not understand what he meant.
Zhu Fan returned to the main seat and said to Di Renjie,""I don't understand. How could the Jiang family's massacre make a border official so flustered?”
After Taizu passed down the two decrees, Zhu Fan understood why Di Renjie was looking for him.
It was because of the Jiang family's massacre.
"Your Highness is wise. This lowly official is indeed here for the Jiang family's tragedy.”
Di Renjie didn't hide anything and directly confirmed it.
"Lord Di, it's just a family massacre. Do you have to do this? Besides, it's rumored that Lord Di is a famous detective in the world. This case shouldn't be difficult for you, right?”
Yu Huatian said. Ever since the establishment of the Second East and West Depots, they had been collecting intelligence from all over the world. How could they not know about Di Renjie's extraordinary abilities?
However, when Di Renjie heard this, he smiled sadly.
"This humble official is not that smart now. If that were the case, these things would not have happened.”
Zhu Fan narrowed his eyes slightly."It seems that Lord Di already knows who the murderer is.”
When the eunuchs heard Zhu Fan's words, they were even more confused and looked at each other.
"Lord Di, since you already know who the murderer is, why don't you arrest him?”
Cao Zhengchun spoke, voicing out Yu Huatian and the others 'doubts.
"It's not that he doesn't want to catch them, but he doesn't have the life to catch them.”Zhu Fan sat on the main seat with a calm expression.
"Your Highness, I don't understand. The Governor of Huguang, a major official of the border, is there anyone in his territory that he doesn't dare to capture?”
Wei Zhongxian was very puzzled. After all, the governor of the border had a large army in his hands. With conclusive evidence, who could not be arrested?
Could he be a relative of the royal family?
After hearing Wei Zhongxian's words, Di Renjie was dejected. He took out something from his bosom and placed it in his hand.
"I wonder if you all recognize this thing?”
Wei Zhongxian and the others looked at the things in front of them with confusion in their eyes.
However, Liu Xi, who was at the side, was indeed shocked. He cried out involuntarily,"This is the symbol of the Embroidered Jade Valley's Shifting Flower Palace, the Black Jade Plum Blossom!”
Shifting Flower Palace!
