Just hearing it would give you goosebumps.

What's more, Duan Jiang really put it into practice.

According to his plan, if it succeeds, Duan Jiang's intention is clearly not to disrupt the situation, but to completely destroy it. Nobody will be able to play anymore.

His ruthlessness is evident.

Li Chen put down the list impassively and said in a flat tone, "Most of the people on this list are martial arts practitioners"

Du Jianjiang laughed triumphantly and said, "Who doesn't know that Your Highness's hawks and dogs, the Dongchang agents, are all over the world If I were to seek out officials, I'm afraid I would have been exposed long ago. But these high-flying, lawless martial artists are exactly what the imperial court finds difficult to control."

And these martial artists, who are greedy for fame and fortune, are the best to be used. They have long been dissatisfied with the court. To make some arrangements is not difficult at all.

"Good, a warrior breaking the law. Very good."

Li Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Duan Jinjiang, asking, "Is there anything else you're hiding"

Duan Jinjiang laughed heartily: "This, you'll have to guess for yourself, Your Highness."

Li Chen ignored him and said lightly, "San Bao, take the man away. Return Duan Changmian's body to him. Let a few people watch where he goes, and we don't need to worry about anything else."

Sānbǎo received the order and respectfully replied with a sound, coming to stand beside Duán Jǐnjiāng.

Duan Jinchang looked at Li Chen, and finally bowed. Then he raised his hand to take off the official hat on his head and put it on the ground, grinning bitterly: "Decades of ups and downs, turning around in the end, all become empty. Your Highness, we... will never meet again!"

After finishing his words, Duan Jinjiang turned and left.

At this moment, the doctor behind Li Chen had redressed his wound. He knelt before Li Chen and said, "Your Highness, I have finished treating you."

"You've worked hard, you may take your leave." Li Chen waved his hand and said.

After the doctor left, Li Chen glanced at the list on the table.

At this moment, the three treasures walked to the door and looked at Li Chen.

"Cleaned up."

Four simple characters, yet they are profound in meaning.

San Bao bowed slightly and turned to leave.

After receiving the reward from the steward of the General's Mansion, the doctor said a few grateful words respectfully and gratefully, then hurriedly left through the side door.

The snow outside the alley was piling up.

The doctor stepped heavily and lightly in the snow, greeting acquaintances he passed along the way from time to time.

"Dr. Hu, are you back from your rounds"

"Oh, yeah, yeah. I just finished seeing a patient and got back."

The doctor stopped in front of a steamed bun shop, reached into his pocket and took out two copper coins, saying: “Four meat buns, please wrap them up. My daughter at home loves eating your steamed buns.”

"Alright!"

The boss of the steamed bun shop was very righteous. He wrapped four steamed buns and also gave one pancake for free.

"Dr. Hu, please accept this, I insist."

Dr. Hu declined several times, but finally accepted it.

Just as Dr. Hu turned to leave, several guards in double-winged swallow tail uniforms suddenly appeared before him, their eyes gleaming with a strange coldness.

"Ah!"

"Master Hu was startled and hurriedly said respectfully, 'Several esteemed officers of the Jinyiwei, what brings you here' "

Dr. Hu’s expression was panicked, just about to speak when the head of the Jin Yi Wei nodded, and two Jin Yi Wei emerged from behind him, grabbing the bun shop owner on either side.

"Wait!" the boss exclaimed. A jinyiwei reached into his bosom and pulled out two copper coins.

These two copper coins were just what Dr. Hu had paid for the steamed buns.

At first glance, the ordinary copper coin appears unremarkable. However, upon closer inspection, one discovers a line of characters etched onto its surface with utmost subtlety. These markings are so faint and minuscule that they would easily be overlooked without deliberate searching.

At midnight, important intelligence was reported.ianqing Palace."I spaced out."Li Chen waved his hand and asked, "Where are they now"Su Zhen Ting gave two words with a strange expression: "Taimiao."The Taimiao Temple is where imperial offerings are...
