Chapter 361 Where did everyone go?



Sun Ren smiled awkwardly, "Miss Jinju's martial arts skills are more than enough to teach the two of us..."

How could the two of them be worthy of competing with Miss Jinju? They would be better off being abused.

The corners of Jin Ju's mouth twitched twice, and she smiled helplessly at Sun Ren.

Zhang Tiezhu excitedly rushed to Jinju's side.

"Miss Jinju, please teach me how to use a gun."

"Just now, you were performing the plum blossom spear show. It made my blood boil."

Jin Ju was startled and took out the plum blossom spear from her back.

"The spear is suitable for long-range attacks, and..."

Sun Ren watched Jin Ju start teaching Zhang Tie Zhu, and quickly followed suit...

.......

Beijing.....

Imperial Study....

“Bang!”

Emperor Tianwu slammed his hand heavily on the desk and glared at the kneeling Minister of Justice Jiang Rundong, the commander of the imperial guards Yi Zhengjin, and the Minister of Revenue Kong Zongli.

“Where are the people?!”

"Tell me, where have all the people gone?!"

"ah!!?"

Emperor Tianwu was so angry that the veins on his forehead were throbbing.

"So many people were sent out, but not a single one came back. Where did they go?"

The imperial guards were sent out in batches, but they only brought back a pile of corpses, not a single survivor.

Even the people sent to the gold mine to collect gold and silver never returned. In a month or two, no gold or silver was brought back.

Cavalry Commander Wan Dayong took so many people out, but he never returned again.

As for his secret guards, they disappeared without a trace after leaving, and there was no news at all.

What on earth is going on?!?

How could a mere weak man like Chen Yong have the ability to prevent so many people from getting any news back?

He didn't believe Shen Yong had this ability.

Jiang Rundong lowered his head and said quickly,

"Your Majesty, calm down. Captain Wan is searching for Shen Yong and his group in Danyun City with all his might."

"Danyun City seems to have also suffered...divine...punishment, and Prefect Wen is also stretched to the limit."

"Captain Wan is doing his utmost to thoroughly investigate this matter."

"What!?" Emperor Tianwu was so confused when he heard the word "divine punishment".

The palace has not been fully built yet, and it is not easy to build it quickly due to lack of materials.

How could this happen, but Danyun City was also punished by heaven?

"The whole city is gone!?"

What unforgivable crime did Magistrate Wen commit that caused Danyun City to suffer divine punishment?

Emperor Tianwu looked at Jiang Rundong with doubt in his eyes.

Jiang Rundong was stunned and pulled the corner of his lips.

"Your Majesty, if not the entire city, then only the prefectural government office and the Wen residence have suffered divine punishment."

"......" Emperor Tianwu was startled and sneered.

"fart!!"

"Let me conduct a thorough investigation. Magistrate Wen has such a guts!!"

Do you all really think he is so easy to fool?

The entire capital city was punished by heaven, but in Danyun City, only Magistrate Wen was punished by heaven. This is simply alarmist!

He suspected that Prefect Wen must have embezzled the prefectural government's warehouse and took the opportunity to blame it on divine punishment.

These corrupt officials still dare to play tricks on him at this time. They really need to be executed as a warning to others!

Jiang Rundong's heart trembled, and he didn't dare to speak up for Prefect Wen. "...Yes, I will send someone to investigate thoroughly immediately."

Emperor Tianwu glared at Jiang Rundong,

"Captain Wan has been in Danyun City for over a month and still hasn't found Shen Yong's family. Is he dead?"

"It's been so long that I can dig up the ground in Danyun City."

"If you can't find him in Danyun City, then look for him in other districts. If you can't find him, bring him back with your head!"

How do these useless people find people? Do they need him to teach them step by step?

"...Yes!" Jiang Rundong responded tremblingly with a heavy heart.

Emperor Tianwu gritted his teeth and looked at the Minister of Revenue Kong Zongli.

"Where is the gold and silver that the Ministry of Revenue took?"

Minister of Revenue Kong Zongli said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, there is no news from Minister Qian yet."

"I guess we encountered some danger in the mountains, which delayed us for a while."

"I have sent someone to greet him. I think he will be back soon."

The mountain road is not easy to walk on, not to mention that those people have to carry so much gold and silver, the road must be even more difficult to walk on.

However, no matter how difficult it is to travel, the nearest gold and silver mines should be able to extract gold and silver.

He was also feeling quite puzzled, so he sent someone to meet him half a month ago.

Judging from the time, these people should have entered the mountains, it just depends on when they meet.

Emperor Tianwu pursed his lips and glared at Kong Zongli, saying sternly,

"Send more people to urge them!"

".....Yes!" Kong Zongli breathed a sigh of relief and responded.

"There's still no news from the palace guards?" Emperor Tianwu looked at Yi Zhengjin with a serious expression.

Yi Zhengjin took a deep breath and replied,

"Your Majesty, there is no news coming back. I'm afraid those people..."

Judging from the bodies that were carried back, it was estimated that the missing palace guards were also in great danger.

I just don't know where these people's bodies were dumped.

He still couldn't figure out who had such great power and was willing to help the Shen family.

The problem is that Shen Yong disappeared out of thin air with the help of that group of mysterious people.

Captain Wan searched a large area near Danyun City, but could not find any trace of Shen Yong and his group.

As the saying goes, great men hide in the city. Maybe Chen Yong has already changed his appearance and is blending in with some aristocratic family.

The biggest losses this time were the palace guards. With the sudden loss of so many palace guards, many meritorious nobles in the capital were crying their hearts out.

Emperor Tianwu gritted his teeth, his chest heaving with anger.

Of course he knew what Commander Yi meant by what he hadn't finished saying.

However, as long as the bodies were not found, he would not tell anyone that the palace guards were dead.

If word of this got out, all the civil and military officials in the capital would be in an uproar.

Most of the palace guards were family members of these civil and military officials. They were the children with high hopes in their families. It would be devastating if they all died at such a young age.

When Emperor Tianwu thought of the ministers' families crying and wailing, his head started to throb with pain.

"Send someone to look for him. If he's alive, we must find him. If he's dead, we must find his body!"

"How could so many people disappear out of thin air?"

Emperor Tianwu looked at Yi Zhengjin furiously and said, "You personally lead people to search for them."

"Yes!" Yi Zhengjin responded, and just as he was about to get up and leave, Emperor Tianwu followed up with another sentence.

"Send back news every three days. Whether you find the person or not, you must send back news."

This is damn it. He sent out a group of people and then they disappeared without a trace. He was a little panicked.

No matter whether it is good news or bad news, he always wants to know the movements of these people so that he can feel at ease.
