Zhu Qiyu slowly opened his eyes, and glanced at Bao Zheng and Di Renjie. Although there was no evidence, he had reason to suspect that the group poisoning of scholars occurred because he signed these two people.

Although these two people didn't go and die wherever they went like Conan, they were not much different.

The two inadvertently caught a glimpse of Zhu Qiyu's inexplicable eyes looking at him, and their hearts trembled, wondering where they had offended His Majesty.

"The imperial examination is approaching, and in our Daming capital, there has been an incident of poisoning scholars. If the news spreads, how can I save my Daming face!"

"Chen wait to be found guilty."

The four of them stepped forward to plead guilty. Although the poisoning incident had nothing to do with them, but now they justify that they are out of their minds. Not only can they not remove themselves, but it will also make His Majesty even more angry.

"Di Renjie, tell me what you know." Zhu Qiyu said coldly.

Di Renjie hurriedly told all the clues he knew and what he had inferred, speaking eloquently and clearly.

"In this way, Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice will solve this case together. Di Renjie and Bao Zheng, how much time will it take for the two of you?"

"Three days!"

"Five days!"

Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered slightly: "Then I will give you four days to solve this case."

"Your Majesty, I ask Jin Yiwei to cooperate." Di Renjie said.

"That's right."

…………

"Master Bao, what do you think?"

Bao Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly: "I heard Master Di's narration. Since the scholars can't interrogate now, there is only one clue, the word 'Penglai' on the record..."

"As far as I know, there are many places in the capital called Penglai, but if it is related to Penglai Dan, I guess it is the Penglai Chamber of Commerce."

Di Renjie's round face trembled, and he rubbed his teeth: "Penglai Chamber of Commerce, it's not easy to mess with..."

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, merchants have the lowest status, and dignitaries despise merchants, but many chambers of commerce are backed by dignitaries.

Although the status of a businessman is low, who doesn't love money.

Even dignitaries cannot do without money.

The Penglai Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in Zhili, and the British government stands behind it, which is a representative of honor.

Zhang Fu, who died in the Tumubao Incident, started from Jingnan. Fight to the death.

The five military governors' mansions include the central army's mansion, the left army's mansion, the right army's mansion, the former army's mansion, and the rear army's mansion...  

When Zhang Fu was still alive, he was in charge of the affairs of the Chinese military governor's mansion, and his two younger brothers, Zhang Yu and Zhang Fu, were both the former military governor's mansion.

According to historical development, one of these two officials was appointed to the right governor of the Chinese military governor's mansion, and the other was appointed to the right governor of the former army governor's mansion.

Generally speaking, this family is all high-ranking and powerful people.

When Wang Zhen was in power, all the civil and military ministers bowed down to him, and only Zhang Fu resisted him. Wang Zhen regarded the civil and military minister as a subordinate official, but he only respected Zhang Fu.

Behind the Penglai Chamber of Commerce stands the British government, and it is normal to become the leading large chamber of commerce in the Zhili area.

The one who directly controls the Penglai Chamber of Commerce is Zhang Fu's son, Zhang Zhong. Although he cannot be entrusted with the title due to his disability, no one dares to ignore him.

"Dynasty Mahan! Go and invite Qinglong, the commander of Jinyiwei, to come."

The two looked at each other, and they both saw the burning fighting spirit in the other's eyes, and they didn't have the thought of shrinking back. They promised to give a loud shout, and the two big men beside him took orders to leave.

"Master Di, let's go and break into this dragon's pond and tiger's lair together."

"Stick what you want, don't dare to ask for it!"

…………

When he came to the Penglai Chamber of Commerce and looked at the high-walled courtyard, Di Renjie said, "If we force our way in, and if those elixir really came from the Penglai Chamber of Commerce, there's no guarantee that they won't destroy the elixir immediately. "

2.1 "Master Di said that in this high-walled compound, people may get lost without guidance. We broke in and didn't know where the elixir is. They have enough time to destroy the elixir." Bao Zheng nodded. .

"L!"

"Zhang Long Zhao Hu!"

The two made a sound in unison and looked at each other.

"You said."

"You said."

The two looked at each other, and immediately burst out laughing, and an atmosphere of basic affection permeated.

"grown ups!"

"grown ups!"

The three of them were a little confused, but they still took orders to stand up.

"The three of you go in and find out, remember, don't startle the enemy, try your best to find the location of their storage, it would be best if you can find Penglaidan." Di Renjie said.

Chapter 77 Recalcitrant

Li Yuanfang refers to Master Xuan, and Zhang Long and Zhao Hu also have the strength of the Vajra Realm. Although the wall of the Penglai Chamber of Commerce is two feet high, the three of them lightly touched their feet, and they jumped lightly, and disappeared without entering the wall.

It was late at night at this time, and the three of them were running like lightning, and You Lin was generally investigating in the Penglai Chamber of Commerce.

The storage room was built differently from other rooms. After a quarter of an hour, the three of them finally found the storage location.

Bang bang bang!

In an instant, the three of them knocked out the guards and entered the warehouse. There were shelves in the warehouse, and the valuables were all placed together. The three of them searched and opened boxes one by one. Fortunately, it was late at night and no one was there. After discovering the unconscious guard, Zhao Hu whispered half an hour later, "Found it!"

Li Yuanfang and Zhang Long came to Zhao Hu's side in a blink of an eye, looking at the familiar elixir in the opened brocade box, with joy on their faces: "I found it, go out and report it."

Zhang Long and Zhao Hu were about to leave as soon as they moved. Li Yuanfang stopped and handed the brocade box to Zhang Hu: "You go out and report. I will stay here and watch them, preventing the Penglai Chamber of Commerce from destroying or transferring them."

"Okay, let's go out first."

With Li Yuanfang referring to Master Xuan's cultivation level, even if he encounters danger, he will not be unable to escape.

Zhang Long and Zhao Hu left the chamber of commerce with a brocade box, Di Renjie took out the elixir and licked it, then nodded to Bao Zheng: "It is indeed Penglai Dan."

"Wait until the Jin Yiwei arrives before we act." Bao Zheng said.

At this time, a carriage came and stopped outside the Penglai Chamber of Commerce, and a middle-aged man who was lame and as rich as Di Renjie got off.

A man in charge of the Penglai Chamber of Commerce came out to greet him, and said a few words to the lame man eagerly. The lame man's face changed drastically, and he raised his leg to go in.

"Looks like I can't wait for Jin Yiwei, let's hold Zhang Zhong first."

After Bao Zheng finished speaking, he walked towards the door of the chamber of commerce from the dark.

"Zhang Zhang's business stays behind ¨.."

Zhang Zhong turned around, glanced at Di Renjie and the others, cupped his hands and said, "I don't know what you can do with Zhang when you come here late at night."

"Di Renjie, Shaoqing of Dali Temple."

"Bao Zheng, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment."

"Master Zhang, this is a document, please read it."

Zhao Hu handed over the document. Zhang Zhong read the document and saw that there was a seal from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple on it. He frowned. After reading it, he said coldly: "Master Di, Lord Bao, did you make a mistake? , What is the relationship between the poisoning of scholars and the Penglai Chamber of Commerce?"

Bao Zheng spread out his palm and took out a elixir, and said with a half-smile: "This is the elixir sold from your chamber of commerce."

Zhang Zhong snorted coldly: "Penglai Chamber of Commerce sells hundreds of pills, how do I know if you just picked up pills from anywhere and pretended to be fakes?"

At this time, the steward behind Zhang Zhong quietly wanted to go in, and Di Renjie waved his hand: "Maybe let us go in and search and we'll find out."

As he said that, Di Renjie rushed in first.

Zhang Zhong winked, and the powerful guards from the Chamber of Commerce immediately stepped forward to block Di Renjie. They also knew that this man was the young minister of Dali Temple, who belonged to the important court officials, and they dared not do anything, but formed a human wall to block the way in.

"Zhang Zhong, do you dare to stop Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs is doing business?"

Di Renjie sternly shouted.

Zhang Zhongdao: "Dali Temple, of course I dare not stop the Ministry of Criminal Affairs from doing things, but I can't allow you to frame the Penglai Chamber of Commerce, just relying on a elixir that I don't know where it came from, to frame the Penglai Chamber of Commerce and the scholar poisoning case. Is there a king's law?"

"Besides, there is no legal principle in the Ming Dynasty that sells pills against the law. The Penglai Chamber of Commerce has sold hundreds of pills, and there has never been any poisoning. Why do you associate the Penglai Chamber of Commerce with the poisoning of scholars? .”

"It's been less than a month since my father, Zhang Gongfu, died in battle. Is the British government so contemptible? It's just too deceitful."

"Lord Di, Lord Bao, you should think about it! Even if my father dies in battle, there is still my uncle, so I won't be bullied by others, and there are still ancestors who have made great contributions to Ming Dynasty!"

Bao Zheng said indifferently: "Master Zhang, I thought very well, but you should think about it carefully. Dozens of scholars were poisoned. His Majesty personally interrogated us. We just came out of the palace. Of course I have a high position in the British public line. I know, but if His Majesty is furious, he may not be able to protect you."

Zhang Zhong's face darkened: "In short, this matter has nothing to do with me!"

"Break in!"

Bao Zheng ordered Zhang Long and Zhao Hu to rush inside.

"Who dares! Stop them!"

Zhang Zhong yelled loudly, and immediately dozens of guards came forward with weapons in hand.

"Zhang Zhong, you are presumptuous!"

Di Renjie was happy and fearless, and bumped into the blades of the guards of the Penglai Chamber of Commerce. The guards immediately retracted their blades, not daring to hurt him.

Zhang Zhong was trembling with anger: "Get them out of here!"

Although Zhang Long and Zhao Hu were powerful, they did not dare to hurt anyone. They were blocked by dozens of guards, and the two sides were in a stalemate at the door.

Zhang Zhong shouted with a ferocious expression: "Everyone, listen to my orders! Whoever dares to force his way in, don't hold back, beat me hard!"

"Yes!"

All the guards responded in unison.

Bao Zheng had an inconceivable look on his face: "Zhang Zhong, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, since you dare to be so unscrupulous, do you not take His Majesty seriously!"

Zhang Zhong looked like a hob, and shouted viciously at Di Renjie and Bao Zheng: "No one wants to go in today, unless they step over my corpse!"

He was obviously not a simple threat. All the guards not only came out with blades, but even took out bows and arrows, pulled the bowstring, and the arrows locked on everyone.

Bao Zheng and Di Renjie didn't dare to joke about their own lives at this time. Zhang Zhong relied on the British government (good Zhao) behind him. He will really be merciless.

Originally, the mass poisoning of scholars was already serious, and if there was another large-scale bloodshed in the capital, they would not dare to bet even if they added fuel to the flames.

"No one wants to go in?"

At this time, a voice came from afar, deafening and deafening, making the noisy scene quiet.

"Then I have no choice but to step in on your corpse."

Everyone looked around, only to see a majestic man wearing a gorgeous flying fish suit and an embroidered spring knife walking towards him, followed by a team of Jinyi guards.

Son of Heaven pro-army!

Jinyiwei!

The name is much louder than the Criminal Department and Dali Temple.

At least the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple want to get someone a name, but Jin Yiwei can directly arrest anyone, including the royal relatives, and their reputation is far and wide.

Chapter 78 The Hidden Massacre

The guards of the Chamber of Commerce did not dare to stop, Qinglong walked up to Zhang Zhong, and said coldly: "Zhang Zhong, do you really want to stop?"

Zhang Zhongyi gritted his teeth: "Without definite evidence, why do you..."

"Why? Just because Jin Yiwei is the emperor's own army! Evidence? After entering Beizhen Fusi, there are all kinds of evidence."

As he said that, Qinglong's tone became extremely strict: "Zhang Zhong, if you want to go to Beizhen Fusi, you should obediently get out of the way!"

The needle could be heard, and the guards of the chamber of commerce also looked at Zhang Zhong, waiting for his decision.

Zhang Zhong stood where he was, his expression fluctuating.

"Who!"

"Hurry up and stop him!"
