Jinyiwei: Starting by Killing a Traitorous Superior – Chapter 16

Ch 16: Entering the Palace

“Could it be Situ Lang who did it?”

But recently, he dismissed this idea.

The reason was simply that the Demonic Sect member’s strength was too low to participate in a kidnapping case of the Princess’s level.

Unless the person who kidnapped the Princess was dizzy and deliberately brought a burden to die.

Moreover, he had also read the contents of that letter, which was about selling low-level Jinyiwei to the Demonic Sect in exchange for demon pills to cultivate martial arts.

It had nothing to do with the kidnapping of the Princess.

However, this also opened up Jiang Chen’s thinking.

Perhaps there was an internal accomplice in the Imperial Palace itself?

Only in this way could the Princess be taken away from the Imperial Palace without anyone knowing.

But this was also very awesome, being able to transport Princess Yuling out of the Imperial Palace without alarming the experts guarding the Imperial Palace.

He didn’t know how they did it.

After all, to leave the palace, one needed to go through layers of checks and protections, which was by no means easy.

Just at this moment, Meng Wangjin suddenly looked at him.

“Jiang Chen, you come with me into the palace.”

These words exploded in his ears like a thunderclap.

Instantly, Jiang Chen’s expression changed.

Why would Meng Wangjin want to pull him into the palace for no reason?

“Yes! Lord.”

Obviously, now was not the time to ask slowly, Jiang Chen could only come before Meng Wangjin and say.

The two walked one after the other towards the Imperial Palace.

Meng Wangjin walked very fast, and Jiang Chen had to trot to keep up with his pace.

Soon they arrived at the gate of the Imperial Palace.

To Jiang Chen’s surprise, the four Garrison Commanders of the Eastern, Western, Southern, and Northern Pacification Bureaus were all in front of the Imperial Palace gate.

Behind them were also followed by one person each, all with solemn expressions on their faces.

Jiang Chen felt a little guilty and unconsciously looked towards the West Marshal, White Tiger Situ Lang.

With just one glance, his pupils shrank, and his whole body turned cold.

Jiang Chen quickly lowered his head, but still attracted Situ Lang’s attention.

He glanced at Jiang Chen faintly, instantly making Jiang Chen feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

“Don’t look at what you shouldn’t look at.”

Meng Wangjin reminded Jiang Chen faintly, and Jiang Chen quickly agreed.

Although he didn’t look at Situ Lang again, he was already terrified in his heart.

Because above Situ Lang’s head, a “” black number was clearly displayed.

This meant that he had killed at least ninety thousand people, or in other words, had committed ninety thousand lives’ worth of sins, for the number above his head to reach such a terrifying level.

Now he could be sure that Situ Lang was definitely involved with the Demonic Sect, and it was even very likely that he was a Demonic Sect spy lurking in the Jinyiwei.

After a while, the palace gate slowly opened, as if a heavy door of history was slowly pushed open, revealing another world behind the door.

A eunuch with a feminine appearance, his face covered with white powder, looking quite strange, walked out.

He was wearing gorgeous eunuch attire, his steps were light, but his face carried a kind of majesty that could not be ignored.

He stood at the palace gate and shouted loudly: “Announce, the four Garrison Commanders of the Jinyiwei’s Eastern, Western, Southern, and Northern Pacification Bureaus, and their followers, immediately enter the palace to have an audience!”

His voice was like a great bell, echoing in the empty plaza, making everyone present feel a shock in their hearts.

This eunuch looked thin and weak, quite like he would fall with a gust of wind, as if a gust of wind could blow him away.

However, his voice was very loud and full of energy, filled with a sense of power.

This kind of voice formed a sharp contrast with his thin body.

Jiang Chen and other Jinyiwei experts knew at once that this eunuch was at least a Heaven-Human Realm expert.

The Heaven-Human Realm was an extremely high realm in martial arts, capable of comprehending the laws of heaven and earth, possessing extraordinary power.

Such experts were also as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns in the Jianghu.

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

The eight bowed and saluted, then strode into the palace gate.

“Do you know why I chose you to come with me?”

While they were walking towards the palace, Meng Wangjin said.

“This subordinate doesn’t know.”

Jiang Chen was also very puzzled in his heart, why did Meng Wangjin want to bring him to the Imperial Palace?

“Because almost all the people under my command have been sent out, and among these lower-level people, I only know your name.”

Hearing Meng Wangjin’s answer, the corners of Jiang Chen’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch a few times.

This answer was really very honest.

“After you go in later, you should speak less, unless The Emperor asks, otherwise you should not speak.”

Meng Wangjin reminded him, and Jiang Chen repeatedly agreed.

Soon, led by Eunuch Zhengming, they arrived at the depths of the Imperial Palace.

In front of a palace gate, everyone stopped.

“Tell me, how do you all plan to investigate this case?”

The palace gate did not open, but a magnificent voice came from inside.

“Reporting to Your Majesty, this subject believes that we should investigate each and every household in the Capital City, so that the person who kidnapped the Princess has nowhere to hide.”

Situ Lang took the lead to stand out and said loudly.

Jiang Chen sneered in his heart, only he could come up with such a method.

In the Capital City, there were countless dignitaries, powerful officials, and royal nobles,

To search one by one, not to mention how much time and manpower it would take.

Should the rooms of those female family members be searched?

Should those deep boudoirs be searched?

Even if they were searched, would they definitely be found?

Which family didn’t have three or two secret chambers, if they hid the Princess in a secret chamber.

Then no matter how he searched, it would be in vain.

Although that was what he said, this method was indeed the only one they could currently execute.

The Emperor did not express his position, but said faintly: “Do you have any better methods?”

Vermilion Bird Cao Nongxi gave the young man behind him a look.

This young man stood proudly and then said: “Your Majesty, this humble subject believes that this time the Princess was kidnapped, there must be a problem with the people around her. We can investigate the people around her one by one, and then see if anyone left the palace last night. If there is, the Princess must have been secretly transported out of the Imperial Palace by them.”

“Just follow the vine and trace it down, and we will definitely be able to find the Princess’s whereabouts.”

His words revealed a trace of confidence.

And the other Garrison Commanders also nodded frequently.

After all, this person was Tie Junzhuo, who was known as the number one divine constable in the Capital City, and also one of the future heirs of the Tie family in the Six Doors.

This time Cao Nongxi specially invited him over, also wanting him to show off in front of the Emperor and leave a good impression.

“Do you others have anything to say?”

In the palace, the Emperor’s voice came out again.

Jiang Chen sighed and then said loudly: “This humble subject has something to say.”

This sound made everyone focus their attention on him.

Especially Meng Wangjin, a trace of anger appeared on his face.
