Chu Song is different from Feng Xiaonian, he has rich experience in handling cases, and unlike Jiang Wanli, he has a talent for analyzing intelligence. His specialty lies in his extensive network of connections, and he has always regarded himself as a jack of all trades.

But now, although Zhu Zhanji didn't say it explicitly, he also knew that he had made a big mistake this time, and he didn't even know that such a person had come to the capital.

Now there is no punishment, just let him atone for his crimes, and he is also determined to catch this Qiu Changqing as soon as possible and fight a turnaround battle.

Of course, as a nominal thousand-name household, it is absolutely impossible for his position to let Zhu Zhanji hand over this matter to him to host, and he does not have the ability to coordinate the joint actions of various departments.

The chief eunuch Jin Kuo presided over this arrest operation, and he coordinated the celebrant eunuch, the capital governor eunuch, the seal ribbon eunuch, the Jinyi guard, and Yu Linwei to complete the operation together.

In order to prevent leakage, Zhu Zhanji was not ready to use the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and Ying Tianfu, because Shuoye did not know how much Qiu Changqing had inherited from Qiu Changqing in the political resources left by Qiu Fu.

Those departments that do not belong directly to him, he does not dare to fully believe it.

Since ancient times, in the ancient country of the East, the state apparatus has always been the largest institution of power, and in the heyday there was simply no force to confront it.

When the state apparatus acts, it is impossible for anyone and anything to escape being crushed.

For two consecutive days, Chu Song and Jiang Wanli were in the Five Cities Terracotta Division and Ying Tianfu, checking on the entry of outsiders into Beijing in the past year.

In this matter, they directly used the internal supervisor and the brocade guard, and these two departments didn't know who they were trying to track down.

The strict household registration system of the Ming Dynasty made the flow of people well-documented, and even if a fake identity was used, it was difficult to escape the correspondence of the case-handling personnel.

As long as it is the object of suspicion, it will be checked out one by one to verify the identity.

Although Qiu Changqing was assigned to Hainan, his appearance, accent, and personal expertise were recorded in detail in the imperial court.

All bearded men about thirty years old who were about the same age as him entered the capital and had not yet left the capital. If you meet such identity conditions, each of them must be sorted out.

Especially those men who enter Beijing alone and have no family members are paid special attention to.

"Chu Qianhu, you take someone to check on this student Yu Bao who came to Beijing from Fengyang to take the exam, in July last year, he entered Beijing with a Fengyang brand, although he was named to catch the exam, but he has not registered in the Ministry of Rites for reference."

Chu Song looked at the entry record registered in Qingliangmen, frowned and asked, "Why is there no later rental record of the hotel or dental store?" This will be very difficult to investigate. ”

"It is this that is more suspicious, although there is no check-in record, it will be difficult to investigate, but according to this line, a big fish may be found."

In the past few days, they have identified hundreds of suspects, but most of them have been ruled out. The longer the time drags on, they don't dare to be sloppy with any object worthy of suspicion.

Chu Song went to the major dental stores and hotels in Yingtianfu to find the record of this Yu Bao, but this person was like evaporating from the world, except for the record of entering the city in July, all the information behind it was gone.

Didn't stay in a hotel in the city, didn't rent a house in the city. The more Chu Song investigated, the more excited he became, he knew that even if this person was not Qiu Changqing, he was definitely a major suspect.

Although it is very easy to find out the clues of someone's existence from the intelligence. But it is difficult to find a single person from the world's largest city, with a population of millions.

Before Qiu Changqing came to Ying Tianfu, he thought that the grandson he wanted to deal with was just a hairy boy, if it weren't for the emperor's preference, how could he be able to confront the battle-hardened King Han without falling behind.

However, after coming to Ying Tianfu, he found that what he was thinking was still too simple. The grandson who was considered to be a hairy boy was simply a demon, and in contrast, the Han King, who had high hopes from their Qiu family, was an immature hairy boy.

On the first day he entered the city, he saw the means of the prince to win the hearts of the people, but this was not what he admired the grandson, because this was a method that anyone from the royal family was good at.

His fear of Taisun stemmed from his attention to the Jiajiang Industrial Zone and the Research Institute caused by his ascension to the sky.

When machines replaced manpower, the Nekugos used a shipload of cloth and silk as a direct proof of the power of industry.

The silver coins that were die-cast, the grinding and rice that no longer consumed manpower and material resources, the entire Jiajiang Industrial Zone in just half a year, has made him aware of the changes that this industrial zone will bring to Daming.

Today's river is leased by local clans, and it costs a lot of money to maintain, and the project that originally required the imperial court to spend a huge amount of money is now being repaired by the people without spending money.

It would have taken a craftsman days to make the barrels of the gun, but it is now said that hundreds of them can be produced in a day.

And that's just the beginning, because of the lack of machines. In the future, more and more machines will be made, and the Ming army will be able to achieve a firearm per person, at that time, who else can become the opponent of the Ming army?

No one!

What's even more frightening is that with the help of industrial development and the expansion of military strength, Taisun's power in the military is getting bigger and bigger, as a bystander, Qiu Changqing can see very clearly that today's Taisun has become the second person in the army after Zhu Di.

At the beginning, Taizu was forced to pass on the throne of Emperor Jianwen, because the crown prince Zhu Biao died early. But now Zhu Di seems to have the intention of leaving the prince behind and directly passing on the throne to the grandson.

Although in every respect, the grandson is more suitable than the frail prince. But such a subversion of human ethics and tradition is not a good thing.

Qiu Changqing also noticed the differences, so after coming to the capital for investigation and careful consideration, he still decided to make a fuss about the power struggle between the prince and the grandson.

He must cut off Taisun's development momentum in the army and continue to develop as it is now. Even if the King of Han has the heart to compete for the great treasure, but the army is controlled by Taisun, he will not have a chance at all.

Even the crown prince was excluded from the power structure of the emperor and the grandson, where could the king of Han have a chance?

Since ancient times, the ancient kingdom of the East has been to pass on the country with filial piety and to pass on the family with filial piety, and now if you want to restrain the grandson, you can only restrain him with filial piety.

Attacking Zhu Gaochi was a conspiracy that Qiu Changqing successfully implemented after several months of planning and using the secret lines of the King of Han on Zhu Gaochi's side.

Military action against Dongying is already imperative, and if the crown prince is seriously ill at this time, it is possible for the grandson to give up the post of generalissimo under the pressure of public opinion.

And this is also the last chance for the King of Han, as long as the King of Han can be awarded the post of Generalissimo and preside over the war against Dongying, it is possible to continue to compete with the Taisun.

If this can't touch the status of the grandson, then he, Qiu Changqing, will decide how far to hide and not involve the dispute of the Great Treasure.

Today, the Taisun has used industry to form a new interest group, and the merchants and internal supervisors are almost entirely biased towards him.

If he had gathered the army and completed the distribution of power, no one would be able to compete with him.

Zhu Gaochi fell ill as he expected, and recently, the atmosphere in Ying Tianfu began to develop as he expected, but Qiu Changqing became more and more bottomless.

A deep uneasiness filled his heart.

Although he lived alone in a former outer house of the Qiu family in Jingshi, he never had easy contact with the outside world on weekdays, and only the loyal old servant's family knew about his existence.

But he also knew that because he had to complete some tasks in the capital, he inevitably came into contact with some people and showed his traces.

No one knows where he is now, but someone must know about his existence. As long as the emperor and grandson know their existence, their doom will come.

This is the last chance for the King of Han, as long as the prince is seriously ill now, there is a high possibility that the grandson will not be able to go on the expedition, and the King of Han will have a chance.

As long as the king of Han can lead the army, then there is no need for the prince to live. As soon as the crown prince died, the king of Han led the troops, and he could no longer compete with the grandson.

He looked at the calendar on the table, Guozijian will officially start school tomorrow, and it is time for people to add another fire to public opinion.

We must use public opinion so that the grandson can no longer do whatever he wants so freely!

At this time, there was a commotion outside, Qiu Changqing restrained his breathing, and looked out with the help of the gap between the window stickers.

I saw a team of officers and soldiers breaking into the small courtyard and asking the old servant Lin Xihua.

Seeing the clothes on their bodies, Qiu Changqing's heart became cold, because this was not the officials of Ying Tianfu and the men and horses of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, but the people of Jinyi Wei and the capital governor.

In general, these two yamen will not be used in this kind of investigation, and the use of these two yamen means that there is a major case.

His relationship is in the Five Cities Terracotta Division, and now the Five Cities Terracotta Division has no movement at all, which means that he has no idea what is going on.

He quickly disguised his presence, slipped into the back room, slipped into a gap between the bed and the interior wall, and gently pulled down the cover.

After a while, Lin Xi entered the room with a few brocade guards. "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the room of the villain's youngest son, who is now on an errand in the Nine Incisors outside the Tribute Courtyard, and has not yet married."

A brocade guard smiled and said: "It can be seen that you have a preference for this little son, this room is much better than your eldest son's room, and your eldest daughter-in-law has no opinion?" ”

Lin Xiyu said with a smile: "The child is smart and clever, and he has a high income in the dental shop, and he can be regarded as the pillar of the family. ”

Qiu Changqing held his breath, listened to the people of Jinyiwei check a few people in the family, and then checked the various rooms in the courtyard, and after a few beds matched the number of people, he made a mark at the gate of the courtyard and went to the next one.

When there was no movement outside, Qiu Changqing came out of the passage under the bed, and at this time, Lin Xi also carefully observed and came to this room.
