Emperor Song did not want their department to continue to be a corpse, but to become a sharp blade that could change the situation in the world.
This is something he cannot do and is completely beyond his capabilities.
If you fail to keep up with the development of the situation, you will be abandoned!
He has suppressed and offended many people over the years. Once he loses the protection of power, even he himself cannot imagine how miserable his ending will be.
Emperor Song had no choice but to implement his orders, so in desperation he summoned his confidants to discuss countermeasures.
"We can't afford to offend Your Majesty. Several princes are equally powerful. This job is not easy to do!"
"Why don't we let that iron hand take the blame and send him out."
Several of his confidants are sycophants, and they can usually flatter him, but if they really want to solve problems and come up with ideas, there is nothing they can do.
Baishan was furious. Emperor Song had already strictly ordered him to be responsible for this matter. How could he pass the blame to others?
"Sir, there are great masters in the Salt Gang. Even the Sixth Prince can't do anything to them. We'd better avoid their influence and start investigating from other forces."
One of his subordinates finally made some substantive suggestions, and they were very consistent with Baishan's inner calculations.
The Salt Gang had a good reputation, and it was really not something he could provoke. The Mingjiao was at the feet of the Emperor, and some small actions could not be hidden from the eyes of Emperor Song.
Only the Zhenjing Society of Yingxia Lake is the most suitable target for investigation.
You still have to pick the soft persimmons!
In this way, Baishan left the chief fishing department with a large number of his confidants and rushed to Yingxia Lake.
But just in the easternmost mountain forest of Lin'an County, Baishan and his party encountered huge trouble.
The chief arrest team, which was originally thought to be whereabouts, was ambushed.
Looking at the approaching Westerner wearing a white mask, he shouted with some sternness, "I am the deputy chief of the chief arrest department. If you kill me, you will be challenging the authority of the imperial court. Your Majesty will not let you go." "
His words had no effect at all, the Westerners' footsteps were getting closer and closer.
Baishan looked at the more than fifty subordinates who had followed him. Except for himself, there were no survivors, and the fear in his heart expanded infinitely.
He really doesn't want to die. He has money that he can't spend all his life, and he has many beautiful concubines at home. If his life ends, all of this will have nothing to do with him.
Thinking of this, Bai Shan fell to his knees in the snow.
"As long as you are willing to let me go, I can swear allegiance to you. I am the deputy chief catcher of the chief catcher, and I will definitely be useful to you."
The other three stopped, and a thin man walked up to Bai Shan.
Just when Bai Shan thought that his compromise had won him a chance of survival, the dagger in the man's hand quickly cut his throat.
Baishan covered his wound and asked unwillingly, "Why?"
"You're in the way."
The other party's understatement made him unhappy.
"Now that the mission has been completed, the old beggar has rushed back to the capital. Without me, I am really worried about my disciples."
"Have a nice trip, Leader Hong."
The other three are Yang Xiao, Fan Yao and Tie Shou.
"After this incident, the Chief Inspector will conduct a large-scale internal investigation. The Iron Chief must be careful."
"Don't worry, Zuo Yang. I made arrangements before leaving and everything is safe."
"Okay, then let's say goodbye."
The three of them were all cautious, and Tie Shou was an expert. No useful clues were left at the scene.
Although the investigation team of the Chief Inspector was defeated, the Royal Guards successfully suppressed all forces.
Because they carried Emperor Song's will, the local generals gathered their troops and returned to their bases.
Unless you have really raised the flag to rebel, no one dares to openly disobey the Song Emperor.
Chu Ming's various forces had already stopped their attacks, so the losses they suffered were not great.
"Sir, in this battle, in addition to the third prince, sixth prince, and eighth prince, there is also a mysterious force involved in it, and the profit is only slightly less than us."
Through reviewing the matter, Shen Luoyan keenly discovered that there were other forces involved.
"Isn't there a mysterious force in the court that is investigating Iron Hand? I suspect that there should be another prince involved in seizing the heir, but it was just because he was hidden too deeply that no one discovered him."
Zhao Min came up with his own inference through the combination of two things.
"Aren't these all good things? Only when everyone takes action can we discover how many predators are hidden under the deep pool of Song State."
Chu Ming was very satisfied with the results of this operation. It not only expanded his own power, but also attracted another mysterious force.
Everyone is now very interested in this force.
"Actually, I can basically identify the prince behind this force."
"Master?"
Shen Luoyan, who was in charge of intelligence, was surprised by Chu Ming's "prescience".
"It's a coincidence."
Seeing Shen Luoyan's expression, Chu Ming knew that everyone had misunderstood, so he told how he met the second prince by chance.
"He has no family background, low martial arts talent, but he is a great master martial artist at a young age, and Master Tu also concluded that his martial arts are accumulated through practicing some evil skills. I agree with the young master's judgment. This second prince not simple."
After listening to Chu Ming's introduction, Zhao Min completely agreed with his judgment.
"If this is the case, there must be a force behind the second prince, and this force is far more powerful than the traditional aristocratic families in the Song Dynasty."
Shen Luoyan further analyzed the background of the forces behind the second prince.
"Yes, first of all, the evil skills practiced by the second prince are not something that traditional powers like the Song Kingdom can possess."
"Sir, is it possible that he is the Black Sect?"
Zhao Min's bold speculation plunged the wooden house into silence, and everyone was considering this possibility.
"The suspicion of the Black Clothes Sect cannot be ruled out. If it is true, it means that in addition to Li Dashan and He Jian, the Black Clothes Sect has another team operating in the Song Dynasty, and the two have different tasks."
Chu Ming made a concluding speech, and this explanation was more reasonable.
"As long as we keep an eye on Li Dashan, maybe they will meet, and then we will be able to know about another black-clothed sect team in the Song Dynasty."
Zhen Gang is full of confidence in Liu Sword Slave's concealment skills.
Since the Black Clothes Sect has gone to the area of the Infinite Holy Land to "make trouble", then don't blame Chu Ming for taking advantage of this situation to benefit himself.
A plan to leverage the situation in the world with the Song Dynasty as the "fulcrum" is gradually taking shape in Chu Ming's mind.
"Sir, this mysterious organization is inspecting Iron Hand, look..."
"Inform Iron Shou to pass the inspection and join this organization. I want to see who this is."
Chu Ming was very interested in this kind of low-key development, the prince pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. It's just that the other party's skills are too shallow, so he discovered the traces so easily, and he is completely unable to compare with himself.
Who would have thought that the person who caused huge waves in the Song Dynasty recently and was the source of all disputes would be a civil servant in the county government.
They are really just "officials", not even "officials"!
"Sir, everyone mentioned evil arts again and again just now, which reminded Min'er of the case of the girl's disappearance. Could it be related to this matter?"
Chu Ming knew that Zhao Min was a "mobile martial arts treasure house". She must have discovered the clues from the perspective of martial arts when she doubted this.
Moreover, there were cases of missing girls in the surrounding counties, but Qinghe County was calm. He had originally suspected the Sixth Prince about this.
But thinking of the former "Mad Dog Gang" and the developed water network of Qinghe County, the second prince coincidentally appeared in the county.
After Zhao Min's reminder, Chu Ming became more and more suspicious that the biggest suspect in this matter was "Zhao Ren".
He hated such behavior deeply. If it was confirmed that the second prince was responsible for this matter, he would be on the top of Chu Ming's must-kill list.
"Whether it is open or secret, as long as Zhao Ren appears in Qinghe County again, it means that he is inseparable from this matter."
Qinghe County is now completely controlled by Chu Ming. As long as the second prince appears in the crowd, he will definitely be discovered.
"If Sister Zhao Min's judgment is correct, then the second prince must have a secret base in Qinghe County, and it must be inaccessible to people, so that he can successfully escape the eyes of the Beggar Gang."
The complex terrain of Qinghe County is what gives Chu Ming a headache. There are not only vast mountains but also complex water networks. Neither of these is a place that ordinary people can set foot on.
"This matter cannot be rushed. If it is really his fault, sooner or later the fault will be revealed."
Although Chu Ming hated evil, he couldn't rush into the prince's mansion and kill people first, even if he had the strength. "A small impatience will ruin a big plan." The Song Dynasty was just a small country in the Northeast.
The strongest sect in the Song Kingdom was also the ninth-grade sect that was at the bottom of all sects.
Chu Ming's goal was not limited to the Song Dynasty.
"The conditions of the training camp are very ideal. Many talented boys and girls have emerged from it. The originally expected three-year training plan can be shortened appropriately and they can be put into the arena for real experience."
When Shen Luoyan introduced the situation of the training camp, everyone present smiled with relief.
"The training camp can be as grand as it is today, which is inseparable from the efforts of all the instructors."
Chu Ming highly praised everyone's work.
"I have another suggestion. We should look for candidates who are suitable to be instructors from among the students. We will face many challenges in the future, and we cannot spend too much energy on training camps. Therefore, we should find talents who are qualified to be instructors as early as possible. Very important.”
Chu Ming's proposal to prepare for a rainy day was unanimously recognized by everyone, although teaching the students did bring them a great sense of satisfaction.
But it does involve too much of their energy and is not a long-term solution.
"I will focus on this aspect, try to find as many talents in this area as possible, speed up their training, and replace them as soon as possible.
