Fulin was not entirely certain whether Dodo was guilty, but he was absolutely sure of Jirgalang’s guilt. It was already crossing the line for him to extend his reach into the two Yellow Banners, but to now plant his own men within the Imperial City? Just as Dodo had said, if he could recruit people to make arrests for him today, he could just as easily have them assassinate the sovereign tomorrow! This had crossed Fulin’s bottom line.
"Guards," Fulin said in a low, heavy voice. "Take Prince Zheng into custody for the time being. We shall await further orders."
He had not yet decided exactly how to handle Jirgalang. Jirgalang was not only a Prince of the Qing Dynasty but also a General-in-Chief who commanded troops. It required a cautious approach. Any slight misstep could throw the entire court and the capital into chaos. If that happened, let alone resisting the Ming Army, it would be a stroke of luck if the empire did not fall apart entirely.
