At noon, Hua Wu Que left the Shifting Flower Palace alone.
He first went to Guyang City to buy a thousand-li horse, then rushed to the capital without stopping. He arrived at the capital just before sunset.
The Shifting Flower Palace was not like the other large sects in the martial arts world. They did not set up branches in various places.
"Fu Yuhua! Hu Zhuo! Fu Zhong!"
Although it was Hua Wu Que's first time traveling in the martial world, he had always been intelligent and knew the things of the martial world very well. He went straight to the largest inn in the capital, the First Inn.
An inn had always been a good place to gather information.
"Guest, please come in."
The 36 cities of Ming Dynasty secretly respected the underworld.
On the surface, some cities respected the imperial court, while others respected the large sects of the pugilistic world. Although the imperial court had officials and experts in each city, most of them were only nominal leaders.
The capital was the capital of Ming Dynasty, and the First Inn was the property of the emperor's uncle, Iron Gut Divine Marquis.
Therefore, the First Inn had no competitors.
The First Inn, the First Manor, the First Restaurant…
The court was dark and undercurrents were surging.
On the surface, the Six Fan School led by Guo Juxia, the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa led by Iron-guts Divine Marquis Zhu Budian, and the Divine Constabulary led by Zhuge Zhengwo were all loyal to Emperor Ming Zhu Houzhao.
The East Chamber, the West Chamber, and the Cabinet were controlled by treacherous parties, and their power overflowed the government and the people.
When Hua Wu Que entered the capital, he immediately sensed the shadows of various forces secretly monitoring him. After all, Ruyan Li, the first wife of the son-in-law of the Minister of War, Fu Zhong, had just escaped into the Flower Transferring Palace to complain.
Ruyan Li did not have any martial arts, but she managed to escape to the Shifting Flower Palace. This matter was not as simple as it seemed.
Hua Wu Que was well aware of all of this. Sitting on the first floor of the inn, his eyes and ears were open. He understood that since his two masters had sent him here, he did not need to have any scruples.
"Waiter, do you know Hu Zhuo?"
Although the price of the First Inn was expensive, the service was good and it was worth it.
"I know."
The waiter smiled as he accepted Hua Wu Que's tip. He then said,"Hu Zhuo was a high school scholar with outstanding literary talent. He was chosen by Fu Yuhua, the daughter of Minister of War Fu Zhong, and was taken in as her husband that day.
Fortunately, Guihai Yidao, one of the top four secret agents of the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa, passed by and sent Ruyan Li out of the capital. Later, this matter was spread by the West Hall.”
The East Chamber, West Chamber, and Royal Guards were like fire and water, fighting openly and secretly.
Ever since he took office, the current Governor of West Hall had not done anything earth-shattering in the court. He was a low-key person, and people only knew him as Yu Huatian.
Hua Wu Que murmured to himself about the three forces. He understood that Ruyan Li's incident was just a microcosm of the conflict between the three forces.
After dinner, he didn't care about the secret surveillance. He investigated openly and secretly to verify the authenticity of Ruyan Li's incident, to inquire about Minister of War Fu Zhong's residence, and to find a way out.
Hua Wu Que didn't take any action. Instead, he went to sleep early.
Early morning.
The sky was slightly bright. Hua Wu Que left early and went to the residence of Minister of War Fu Zhong alone.
The Minister of War was the head of the six ministries, a rank two official. The emperor had given him a mansion, located on Chaoyang Street, near the Imperial Palace and Forbidden City. The streets were filled with dignitaries.
"Is Hu Zhuo here?"
Hua Wu Que stopped three feet in front of the Fu Residence and looked at the guards at the door.
Hundreds of commoners, officials, and martial artists who were passing by instantly gathered around.
At the entrance.
The four guards were all experts in the Postnatal Realm. They were also famous figures in the martial world. For power, wealth, and beauties, they submitted to the imperial court.
A guard unsheathed his sword and asked loudly.
"You didn't answer my question. Kill!"
Hua Wu Que was expressionless. Remembering Yao Yue's instructions, he waved his folding fan and slashed the throats of the four men. He stepped over the four corpses and gently pushed open the door.
The surrounding crowd was instantly shocked.
"Hurry up and go in to watch the show!"
There were hundreds of people gathered on the street. There were dignitaries and martial arts experts. There were many of them, and they were fearless. They followed Hua Wu Que into the Fu Manor.
In the Fu residence, there was already a huge commotion.
Dozens of Jianghu experts, led by three Xiantian Realm experts, were sent by the East Hall to protect Fu Zhong. These people instantly drew their swords and surrounded Hua Wu Que.
In the pugilistic world, one could establish a sect after reaching the Grandmaster Realm. In a super-first-class force, a Grandmaster was also an elder with real power. Unless it was necessary, they would not join the imperial court to avoid their reputation being ruined.
"Who are you?"
"Halt!"
"If you make any more moves, kill without mercy!”
The three Xiantian experts shouted one after another, their eyes cold.
Fu Zhong was middle-aged, his face dignified and imposing. He said in a clear voice,"Young master, this old man has never made enemies with others. Who are you? How dare you barge into the important place of the imperial court?”
Fu Zhong's words contained a warning. This was the foot of the emperor.
