Daming: Dad, you are really not good at governing the country

Chapter 364: The interweaving of multiple clues, vowing to catch the conspiracy hidden in the dark

At this time, Prince Jin's Mansion was like a silent fortress, but was surrounded by invisible undercurrents.

The guards looked solemn, like a group of vigilant falcons, not missing any slight movement.

The pens in their hands moved across the paper, and the rustling sound was like a mysterious spell, recording every detail that might serve as a clue.

The guards who were responsible for investigating those who had contact with Li Fengci were like busy ants, shuttling back and forth in and out of the palace.

They talked to all kinds of people, their eyes as sharp as lightning, trying to pick out clues of conspiracy from the other party's expressions and words.

When the impulsive guard Li Meng faced the nervous witness, his hot temper was like a volcano about to erupt and he almost got out of control.

The careful but timid Zhu Jiantong was able to muster up the courage to continue questioning even when faced with a suspect who seemed calm but had many flaws.

At this moment, he was like a small flower trying to bloom in the storm.

Fortunately, the guards, with their keen insight like hawks, can always catch some unusual clues from the other party's words and actions.

Zhang Long, the resolute leader.

He personally led his guards to conduct a carpet search of important places in the palace.

These people stepped into the study, and the mysterious letter was once again placed under the magnifying glass.

The texture of the paper and the direction of the handwriting may hide the key to solving the mystery.

Zhang Long's eyes were as sharp as torches, as if they could penetrate the letter and see the truth behind it.

Then they came to Li Fengci's residence, and every item was carefully checked, like archaeologists unearthing ancient secrets.

The appearance of a piece of cloth, the color of which was exactly the same as the feathers of the mysterious bird, made Zhang Long's heart tremble.

It was like a bright light in the darkness, illuminating the direction of the clue.

The entire Prince Jin's Mansion was shrouded in a tense atmosphere. Zhang Long and his guards were like an impenetrable net, vowing to capture the conspiracy hidden in the darkness.

However, before the mysterious letter appeared, some vague signs had already emerged.

In his busy daily life, Li Fengci once accidentally picked up a strange jade pendant.

The ancient and mysterious patterns on the jade pendant did not attract his attention at that time.

Now it is like a mysterious thread that connects all the mysteries together.

At this moment, a mysterious man appeared outside Prince Jin's Mansion like a ghost.

His face was stern and his eyes revealed vigilance and mystery.

This person seemed to know every secret of Prince Jin's Mansion, yet he kept his mouth shut.

The mysterious man found Zhang Long and quietly handed him a note.

The vague clues above were like a lighthouse in the fog, making Zhang Long feel nervous.

He realized that this person might be the key to unlocking the conspiracy.

As the investigation deepens, new clues continue to emerge.

However, fate is like a naughty child who loves to play tricks on people.

The room where important evidence was stored suddenly caught fire on a quiet night.

All the clues turned to ashes in an instant, like beautiful bubbles bursting in the sun.

Zhang Long's eyes were wide open, and the anger and unwillingness in his heart were like surging waves.

It was a dark and windy night. The hustle and bustle of the market had long gone, and an eerie atmosphere filled the alleys.

The dark shadows of external forces surrounded Wang Dianshan like ghosts.

Their faces were hidden in the darkness, revealing only a pair of eyes flashing with cold light, as if they were messengers from hell.

One leader lowered his voice, spitting out threats like a venomous snake.

"Wang Dianshan, your family is in our hands.
If you don’t want anything to happen to them, just be obedient.”

Wang Dianshan's eyes widened in horror, cold sweat streaming down his face.

His lips trembled, and his heart was filled with fear and helplessness, like a beast trapped in a trap.

On the other side of the palace, Doctor Zhang was pacing alone in the room.

The sound of the wind outside the window is like the temptation of external forces whispering in my ears. The promise of wealth and high position is like sweet poison.

Doctor Zhang frowned and struggled fiercely in his heart.

"Although this wealth and glory is tempting, betraying the Prince of Jin's Mansion will bring eternal infamy."

He clenched his fists and looked into the distance with a determined gaze.

Like a lone warrior, he secretly vowed to stick to the bottom line.

A few days ago, a mysterious bird was always hovering in a small corner of the palace.

There seems to be deep meaning in its eyes, like a code that is difficult to decipher.

After Li Fengci learned all this, his anger burned like fire, and he regretted his mistake of being taken advantage of.

He was determined to reform himself, like an awakening lion.

We must fully cooperate with Zhu Gang and Zhang Changshi to defend the dignity of the Prince of Jin's Mansion.

In the solemn hall, Li Fengci, dressed in gray clothes, was like a silent mountain.

His eyes were determined, like a burning flame, determined to burn away the conspiracy.

The exquisite patterns on the pillars of the hall seem to tell the glory and majesty of the palace.

Li Fengci's wife, Liu, was in deep fear.

At night, nightmares followed her like a shadow, often waking her up from her sleep.

But during the day, she would gather with the rest of the family, like birds keeping each other warm.

They were dressed in colorful dresses and had smiles on their faces, as if to dispel the fear in their hearts.

The swing in the yard sways gently, as if waiting for the children's laughter, full of hope and warmth.

At this time, Zhu Gang was pacing alone in the study, his mind full of confusion.

His feelings towards Li Fengci were complicated and tangled.

On the one hand, Li Fengci’s previous mistakes almost brought a devastating disaster to the Prince of Jin’s Mansion.

When Zhu Gang thought of those mistakes, his eyes were full of reproach, as if they wanted to pierce through Li Fengci.

"Why are you so confused that you are being used by external forces!"

On the other hand, he saw Li Fengci's current determination and efforts, like a star shining in the darkness.

Li Fengci actively cooperated with the investigation and spared no effort to make up for his mistake.

A sense of anticipation welled up in Zhu Gang's heart, as if he saw a ray of light in the darkness.

"Perhaps he can really make up for his crime and recover the losses for Prince Jin's Mansion."

There was a flash of hesitation in Zhu Gang's eyes, he didn't know whether he should give Li Fengci this opportunity.

These conflicting emotions intertwined in his heart, causing him to fall into deep struggle.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's decree was like a thunderbolt, requiring the Prince of Jin's Mansion to find out the truth within three days, otherwise the relevant personnel would be severely punished.

Liang Min, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department, read out carefully, "The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: We have heard that the officials of the Prince of Jin's Palace have started a civil strife, which is indeed a serious problem.

The Prince of Jin’s Palace must investigate this matter promptly and without delay.

I hereby strictly order the Prince of Jin’s Palace to thoroughly investigate this matter within three days.

Distinguish right from wrong, severely punish the perpetrators, and restore order.

If there are those who are partial to others or do things perfunctorily, we will not let them off easily.

I hope the King of Jin and his ministers will obey my order and handle this matter quickly to put our minds at ease. I decree this!"

After receiving the decree, Zhu Gang sat at his desk with his hands clenched into fists and his brows furrowed, like a king facing a difficult decision.

Upon hearing the news, the guards stepped up their investigation like mad hounds.

They re-examined the clues, not missing any details.

Zhang Long led his personal guards to conduct another comprehensive inspection of the palace, leaving no corner untouched.
