Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa.
"Your Highness, we've received a messenger pigeon from Manor Lord Shangguan. Qin Lin, the Overseer of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, has returned to the capital.”
While Zhu Budian was writing furiously, a secret agent ran in and reported.
Zhu Bujue was meticulous and had a long-term plan.
Duan Tianya, Guihai Yidao, and Shangguan Haitang, with the three of them as the leaders, had always been doing things that were righteous on the surface.
This not only made the three of them loyal and dedicated, but it also made the reputation of the Dragon Guard Mountain Villa spread far and wide.
But in the dark, Zhu Bujue had an even greater power. He hid behind the bright exterior of the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa and did dark things.
The secret agent who came in to deliver the message was one of them.
Zhu Budian took the note from Shangguan Haitang and frowned after reading it.
"Your Highness, Qin Lin was able to defeat Heaven No.1 and Earth No.1. His martial arts aren't weak. This person's sudden return to the capital is definitely related to our plan. Should we take this opportunity…"
Before the secret agent could finish, Zhu Budian shook his head and said,""Now is not the time. If the emperor dies from an assassination and this king takes over the throne, it will definitely make the world suspicious. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he could not do such a thing.”
"Cao Zhengchun has harmed many officials in the past few years. The civil officials all feel threatened and hate him to the core. If I can get rid of Cao Zhengchun, the civil officials will definitely support me.”
"After getting rid of Cao Zhengchun, I will kill Yu Huatian and lure the emperor into making a mistake. When the time comes, I will call out to all the officials and the people!”
"Your Highness is truly farsighted!"
the secret agent said.
"The plan remains unchanged!" Zhu Budian said seriously. If Qin Lin stops me, I will kill him as well. If this person was favored by the Emperor, it was hard to guarantee that he would not become a powerful official by the Emperor's side in the future.”
……
"Formalism helps people!"
Qin Lin looked at the items on the system page and said excitedly.
After obtaining 200,000 qi points, Qin Lin's qi had already reached 900,000!
He had also accumulated nearly 100,000 taels of gold.
Although he had used up an Explosive Escape Talisman, the system had rewarded him with another one.
There were also nine case closing talismans.
Although Qin Lin didn't use the case closing talisman often, it was very important.
For example, Zhu ignored the entire plan this time. All the details were in Qin Lin's mind.
……
Soon, it was past noon and it was already past two in the afternoon.
Ever since he received Qin Lin's notice, Cao Zhengchun had been staying in the East Hall for the past few days.
A eunuch from the East Chamber suddenly ran up to Cao Zhengchun and reported,""Supervisor, the people from the Supreme Court captured Cao Song. They said that a murder case last year was related to Cao Song and the evidence was conclusive.”
Cao Song was one of Cao Zhengchun's adopted sons, and he was the most favored by Cao Zhengchun.
Because of Cao Zhengchun, Cao Song was arrogant and despotic, committing many crimes.
However, with Cao Zhengchun's connections, all of Cao Song's crimes were cleared up. There was no evidence related to Cao Song at all.
Cao Zhengchun frowned when he heard that.
Almost instantly, he smelled a conspiracy.
Apart from Zhu Bujue's martial arts, the best thing about the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa was intelligence gathering.
If the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa provided evidence to the Supreme Court, the murder cases committed by Cao Song would basically be irrefutable.
"Zhu Tiedan thinks Cao Song is my weakness.”
After a moment of shock, Cao Zhengchun coldly ordered his eunuch,""Go to the Supreme Court and pass on my words. He said that since Cao Song had hurt someone's life, according to the law, what should be done should be done!”
Cao Zhengchun was basically abandoning his adopted son Cao Song by doing this.
Even so, Cao Zhengchun's heart felt as if it had been cut by a knife.
"Qin Lin, oh Qin Lin! Why didn't you explain it to us clearly! If he had known earlier, he would have made that little rabbit scram far away.”
Cao Zhengchun shook his head.
That night, Qin Lin had only said that the Iron-guts Divine Marquis wanted to kill Cao Zhengchun while the Emperor was away from the capital, but he did not elaborate on the details.
Zhu Bujue wanted to kill Cao Zhengchun, but he didn't just go to his door. He wanted to find evidence that Cao Zhengchun deserved to die.
Otherwise, the world would suspect that the Ironguts Deity Marquis was trying to eliminate those who were different from him.
Cao Zhengchun was pacing back and forth in the room when another eunuch came in and reported,""Supervisor, under the torture of the people of the Supreme Court, Cao Song confessed the evidence of your rebellion. He said that you have been secretly colluding with the border generals in the past few years and bribed them to smuggle. The Ministry of Justice had already sent soldiers over to capture the superintendent.”
As soon as the eunuch finished speaking, a shout came from outside the East Chamber.
Cao Zhengchun immediately strode out.
The outside of the East Chamber was already surrounded by soldiers. The barbarians of the East Chamber had also drawn their swords and blocked the door. Both sides were at daggers drawn.
"Supervisor Cao, this official is Xu Zhen of the Supreme Court. Your adopted son has confessed to your rebellion. Supervisor Cao, please follow this official!”
An official among the soldiers said with a smile when he saw Cao Zhengchun.
Cao Zhengchun's expression remained unchanged as he sneered,""I am the East Chamber's supervisor, personally appointed by the Emperor. Even if you want to arrest me, you must first receive the Emperor's decree. Your Court of Judicial Review does not have this authority!”
"Eunuch Cao, it looks like you want to resist?" Xu Zhen said with a smile. I'll remind Eunuch Cao that if you resist, your crime will be confirmed.”
"Take Cao Zhengchun down!" Xu Zhen waved his hand.”
"Wait!"
All of a sudden, a cold shout rang out. The voice was like thunder piercing through the ears.
Everyone turned their heads and saw Qin Lin, who was dressed in an Embroidered Uniform Guard robe, rushing over with a group of Embroidered Uniform Guard lieutenants.
Cao Zhengchun smiled happily when he saw Qin Lin.
As for Xu Zhen, he immediately frowned.
