"Okay, okay, if you're okay, go help quickly and check the location of their accomplices. How long have they been lurking in my Dayu?"
"Yes, Father."
The three Japanese dared to break into the court alone. The old man doesn't believe that they have no accomplices.
The West Sea is far away from Dayu Kingdom, and it takes several days and nights to ride a horse at full speed through Persia. If they dare to extort tens of thousands of gold from the emperor, they must have someone to pick them up.
If it was just for the sum of money, they wouldn't have held the emperor hostage. There must be other reasons...
The old man began to analyze unconsciously again, weighing his granddaughter in his arms, and then shook his head. He had been loyal to Dayu all his life, and from now on, these headaches should be left to other descendants!
A country cannot be supported by only one family.
As soon as the grandfather and grandson arrived at the gate of Jun Mansion, they saw Yi and the old lady coming out to greet them.
"Father."
"master."
"Tongtong."
Like Jun Wansheng, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law circled around the grandfather and grandson several times, and only felt relieved after making sure that they were fine.
Jun Shutong returned to his own courtyard, but there was one more person in the Jun family's meeting room - Jun Ruyi.
"No, I don't agree. It's too dangerous outside. Tongtong can't go to the court starting tomorrow."
The old lady slammed the teacup heavily on the table, firmly opposing Jun Shutong to go to court again.
"But His Majesty has specifically asked Tongtong to continue attending court tomorrow and has even promoted her. If she doesn't go, what should we do?"
Since Jun Ruyi heard that something had happened in the court, she has been guarding the road that the emperor must pass.
When she saw the emperor being carried out by someone, her heart was immediately relieved.
Disliking the emperor is one thing, but the emperor's death is another.
But when she heard that her father and little niece were still in the hall, one of her shoes fell off and she fell heavily.
No matter how hard she tried, she was still a step too late. The palace servant told her that the Duke had taken Miss Jun out of the palace.
As for whether he was injured or not, the palace servants couldn't say for sure, so Jun Ruyi could only go back to the Jun family to check.
Before leaving, the emperor asked her to convey a message that Jun Shutong must go to court tomorrow and be promoted to assistant imperial guard.
Well, another title.
"Mother, you know Tongtong's abilities. A few thieves are no match for her. Besides, haven't we captured those Japanese?"
"Today, everyone has seen Tongtong take action. It's difficult to hide your weakness."
Yi still very much supported her daughter to continue attending court. As far as the current situation was concerned, the palace was at least much safer than her wandering around the streets.
Mr. Jun sighed and said, "If it weren't for Tongtong's precise attack today, His Majesty would have been seriously injured. The fact that the generals and I were able to lock onto those three people was entirely due to Tongtong's guidance."
"With such performance, even if His Majesty doesn't allow her to go, the other ministers will jointly petition to allow her to go."
"Rather than letting His Majesty think that Tongtong went reluctantly, it would be better to do what needs to be done openly."
Except for Master Jun who had personally experienced it, the three of them were all shocked: "What? Tongtong's precise guidance?"
The old man carefully recounted what he had heard. He himself found it incredible. What kind of existence was the so-called China? Everything his granddaughter said was something they had never heard of.
What shocked them the most was the word "ninjutsu".
The Dayu Dynasty was a great country. Although it was not as powerful as the Holy See, it was superior to several other small countries. However, it did not know that Japan had such a secret technique.
At the same time, in the palace.
Teng Yuanhaoer was kneeling in the imperial study. "Your Majesty, Jun Shutong has such ability, but the Jun family allows her to hide it from the public. I don't believe that the Jun family has no ambitions."
"I suggest that Jun Shutong be stripped of his two positions in the court and his family be thoroughly investigated."
Emperor Shunde: [Are you ill? That girl just held two sinecures, but it's worth your reporting her.]
[You want me to investigate your family instead of investigating the Japanese who assassinated me?]
Emperor Shunde was so angry that his head hurt. If it weren't for his five granddaughters, he would have made him pay today.
Although he is proficient in eating, drinking, having fun and gambling, and acts like a real playboy, it does not mean that he is really incompetent and cannot distinguish between good and evil.
"Fujiwara Haoji, I advise you not to make such a suggestion. Jun Shutong is from the Jun family. I believe she will not do anything detrimental to the Dayu Kingdom."
"Also, we must never let her know that we can hear her inner thoughts."
Emperor Shunde was really angry this time. He didn't even call him "My dear minister" but directly called Fujiwara no Koji by his name.
He was afraid that the old man would deliberately reveal what he had heard in order to check and balance the Jun family.
Today, when Emperor Shunde was held hostage by Yamamoto, he saw clearly who was rushing to the front and who was playing the coward.
Therefore, Emperor Shunde does not have much good feelings towards Fujiwara no Haoji now.
After sending away the annoying people, Emperor Shunde went to the Ministry of Justice for the first time.
"Your Majesty."
"Did you find out anything?"
"Your Majesty, we have tried all the torture instruments, but still nothing has been achieved."
Zhang Yunqi was a little panicked. He had caught the people, but he had no way to make them confess.
No one expected that Emperor Shunde would come to the Tianlao at this time. In the perception of the people of Dayu, the emperor had severe mysophobia and would not set foot in any dirty place.
Emperor Shunde walked into the torture chamber and saw three bloody figures handcuffed to an iron frame.
"Take out what's in their mouths. I want to question them."
Emperor Shunde was really curious about how they managed to hide.
Zhang Yunqi ordered people to restore their dislocated jaws and put iron objects in their mouths to prevent them from biting their tongues to commit suicide.
