Lu Xiaofeng came,"Greetings, Lord Tongzhi!"”
Du Ming smiled." No need to be so polite. How's the investigation going?"”
Lu Xiaofeng shook his head.”
"Mud Man Zhang didn't die." Du Ming clapped his hands. Soon, a little old man walked in, trembling." Look, who is this?”
Lu Xiaofeng looked over in surprise,"Mud Man Zhang?"”
"It's the little old man." Mud Man Zhang cupped his hands and bowed.”
"It's the real deal," said Du Ming."It's just that I've put on some weight recently."”
Lu Xiaofeng took out the clay figurine that had been flattened.""Great, I want you to help me restore this clay figurine!”
Mud Man Zhang looked at the mud man in Lu Xiaofeng's hand and then looked at Du Ming.
Du Ming nodded." If it's done, the Embroidered Uniform Guards will give you five hundred taels. When this matter is over, you and your family can go anywhere you want."”
Other than the rough process of capturing his entire family, the Jinyiwei did not do anything extra to the clay figurine Zhang family. On the contrary, they treated them well.
This made Mud Man Zhang even more afraid.
However, after many days, he realized that the Jinyiwei commander Tongzhi was indeed true to his words and kept his promise. Only then did he not feel a little afraid.
"This old man will definitely not let you down!”
After taking the clay figurine, Mud Figurine Zhang took the tools and quickly restored the flattened clay figurine to its original appearance in front of Du Ming and Lu Xiaofeng.
Lu Xiaofeng looked at the restored clay figurine and was a little lost."It's him?"
"It's him," Du Ming nodded with a smile.
Soon, Lu Xiaofeng thought of a key point. Why was Mud Man Zhang in the Jinyiwei and still alive?
Then, who was the "Mud Man Zhang" who was killed and thrown into the dry well?
In a trance, Lu Xiaofeng felt that this Tongzhi was becoming more and more mysterious.
"Hero Lu, may I ask if this clay figurine was made by Zhang Yingfeng?”
Mud Man Zhang looked a little sad.
"Yes, he's dead."
……
September 15th, noon.
Lu Xiaofeng walked out of the North Town Administrative Office.
She was filled with confusion and didn't understand why Du Ming would make such an arrangement.
However, he was more worried about his friends.
Du Ming went out.
This time, he didn't bring Gu Changfeng and the other Embroidered Uniform Guards with him. He went with Lian Xing.
He brought Lian Xing along to ensure his own safety.
Even if it was close to the summit of the forbidden city.
It was not impossible that Ye Gucheng had lost his mind and tried to assassinate him.
Therefore, in order to ensure his own safety, Du Ming only walked on the wide streets.
According to the topographic map of the capital in his mind.
Du Ming walked and stopped.
When he met someone he liked, he would buy them and give them to Lian Xing.
Lian Xing didn't ask why and just accepted it.
Just like that, after crossing a few streets, the two of them arrived at an old pastry shop that had been open for decades, He Fang Zhai!
"Shopkeeper, I want some of every flavor.”
Du Ming smiled and said politely.
"Good!"
The young shopkeeper glanced at Du Ming and Lian Xing and nodded.
After choosing a few flavors of wife cakes, the shopkeeper skillfully wrapped them up with oil paper and handed them to Du Ming.
"Chenghui, twenty wen."
Du Ming searched his waist pouch and found twenty copper coins. He placed it on the counter.
"Tonight, the first person to fight you, Ye Gucheng, is a fake.”
The young shopkeeper looked at Du Ming without saying anything.
"I hope that after the fake Ye Gu Cheng dies, you can go to the south study where the Emperor is sleeping. The real Ye Gu Cheng will appear there.”
"Is this the Jinyiwei's arrangement for me?”
"I wouldn't dare!"
"Why?"
"Because you're the Sword God Ximen Chuixue. I hope you won't have any regrets in this battle!”
Du Ming looked into Ximen Chuixue's eyes. He could feel the biting cold sword intent in his eyes. It was like the ultimate light in the snowy plains.
Ximen Chuixue's sword no longer belonged to a mortal. It was close to a god.
Originally, Ximen Chuixue should have used his life to fuse with the sword and become a god!
But now, Ximen Chuixue had already stripped himself of his near-god state and became a mortal with flesh and blood and emotions!
Even if Du Ming's plan was complete, he didn't know if the final battle on the summit of the Forbidden City would go according to the original script.
