Chapter 875: Zhang Ronghua Makes His Move
The word ” dark ” seemed to have some kind of magic. Most people were unreasonable and didn’t know what it meant. However, a small number of people, especially those with higher positions and standing at the front, subconsciously looked over. Their pupils constricted, and anger, coldness, killing intent, and other emotions erupted. They were very good at controlling their qi and didn’t flare up on the spot.
” Really?” Grand Elder Cui stepped forward.” Really?”
” Yes!” Jiu Xuanji raised his head, his gaze firm.
With Darkness as the scapegoat, this debt of Stone Village, including the incident of the demons wreaking havoc in the capital last night, could be put to rest.
He followed up.
“My subordinate, Purple Dragon Emissary Lu Zhantang, investigated Old Lu’s whereabouts last night. However, the matter was urgent and he could not send a message back in time. If he was a step slower, the other party would have escaped! He only brought a few trusted subordinates and didn’t have many people to use, but the enemies he faced were all powerful demons, evil cultivators, and Shang Dynasty masters. In order not to leak the formula of the Flame Thunder Bead, he took the lead and didn’t fear his own safety. He fought fiercely with them and didn’t retreat until he killed the last person and captured Old Lu. His subordinates were all heavily injured and are now recovering in the True Dragon Palace.”
Jiu Xuanji tried his best to save himself, not giving anyone a chance to counterattack.
” The people of the True Dragon Palace, from humble officials to ordinary Golden Dragon Ambassadors, are all hot-blooded men. They will never betray or do anything that will harm the interests of the Great Xia Dynasty. This is the best proof!”
All the officials were shocked, including the Red Heaven Palace, the Burning Sky Palace, and the Soul Palace!
The Burning Sky Palace and Soul Palace were the other two major departments. They were named after the word “Palace”, which showed how powerful they were. They were far stronger than the True Dragon Palace and the Scarlet Heaven Palace.
The Soul Palace had the least number of people among the four departments, but they had the strongest combat strength. The people inside were all soul masters. Just this alone was enough to crush everything and firmly sit in the position of boss. The other three departments did not dare to disobey.
The formula of the Flame Thunder Pearl had made a great contribution. They had also sent people to investigate and turned the capital upside down, wanting to find Old Lu. However, the other party had hidden too deeply. He had hidden in the cellar under the bed of the Pan family and fooled everyone. They did not expect Jiu Xuanji’s people to take advantage of him.
Du Chengming, Li Yuliang, Huang Daoning, and the people from Changqing Academy saw him throwing out bombs one after another to break their attacks. Old Lu was arrested and the formula for the Flaming Thunder Pearl was recovered. They knew that Jiu Xuanji had escaped this disaster. Although they were unwilling, they had no choice.
However, the people of Changqing Academy were still not convinced. Their eyes were spitting fire as they thought that the True Dragon Palace had killed their Vice Dean Lei.
If one did not know the truth.
Zhang Ronghua might have believed him, but Old Lu and the others had handed him over to Lu Zhantang. They didn’t expect Jiu Xuanji to use this as a breakthrough to protect himself. He even said it so righteously that he almost deified them.
This was good too. Lu Zhantang and the others had contributed more, which was in line with his original intention.
Jiu Xuanji continued,” After returning, Lu Zhantang knew that this matter was of great importance. He endured his injuries and immediately began interrogating them to pry open their mouths. Only then did he find out that Qian An was bribed by Zhao Chengjie. He was a spy of the Shang Dynasty who deliberately got close to Sun Jin and then roped in Old Lu. He used Old Lu to steal important secrets from Sun Jin’s study. Over the years, he has stolen dozens of things. His crimes are grave and unforgivable!”
Qian An was Cui Jiancheng’s confidant, and the latter was also Stylon’s confidant.
The First Prince had never gone to court since a while ago. The Second Prince was the leader of the princes, as if he had given up on himself and accepted his fate.
In addition, Chen Youcai was transferred to the Ministry of Works, and he had the team left behind by Zhang Ronghua. Although it was his first time there, he quickly gained a foothold. Although he could not compare to Fu Kun, his power was comparable to Yan Lihua’s. He joined forces with Fu Kun to reorganize the Ministry of Works. Recently, many people had been unlucky. They were either dismissed or imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice. The manufacturing division was cleaned up from the inside out. They had also set stricter confidentiality regulations to prevent similar things from happening.
No matter what.
His traitor had been caught by the True Dragon Palace.
Fu Kun stood out and bowed. He said in a deep voice,” Nothing is absolute. Although the True Dragon Palace and Changqing Academy have some conflicts, they are both the pillars of Great Xia. With Hall Master Jiu’s righteousness, he would not be blind to this and would not kill Vice Dean Lei. This matter is too strange. It’s too arbitrary to let them take the blame with just the True Dragon Manifestation Fist! I suggest that we hand this matter over to the Fentian Palace to investigate. We can guarantee fairness and justice, and we won’t interfere with any benefits! Of course, Changqing Academy and True Dragon Palace can also find out the truth themselves.”
Chen Youcai also stood up. Fu Kun had come forward to repay the favor of True Dragon Palace. Lu Zhantang had solved the case and had made a great contribution. He had to maximize his contribution.
As for the Crown Prince!
The man who had been promoted to the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Works went to visit him. He was more enthusiastic than before. On the surface, he was not unhappy. Firstly, his current identity was already a second-grade official. He held more power. There was no benefit in breaking up. However, both sides understood that the gap had already appeared. It was impossible to restore it to the past.
But Chen Youcai didn’t regret it. The Crown Prince was still the Crown Prince and hadn’t yet taken that position. Ever since he had joined the Crown Prince, he had climbed to his current height all because of Zhang Ronghua. Otherwise, he would still be a small county magistrate in the eastern district, let alone a second-grade official.
He had completely integrated into the circle, and with Zhang Ronghua as the leader, he was not unconvinced!
