    Han Ce put down the book in his hand.

    Following Mu Hanfeng out of the study, Xiao Yanjing stood in the courtyard.

    "Why are you so polite to me? Come in directly when you come, and let Hanfeng report to me, so you are so unreasonable?" Han Ce stepped forward and asked with a smile.

    Xiao Yanjing wore a black cloak, as if he didn't want others to know his identity.

    "When you come to Zhenbeihou Mansion, you must be polite!"

    Xiao Yanjing replied with a smile.

    "In that case, then you leave!"

    "When I come, I can't leave empty-handed!"

    After Xiao Yanjing finished speaking, he walked into Han Ce's study first. When he entered Han Ce's study, Xiao Yanjing was very at ease, as if he was very familiar with this study.

    Xiao Yanjing looked at the things in the study casually, without any consideration at all.

    "It's probably important for a busy person like you to come to me!"

    "Don't you know something with your eyes and hands in the Beihou Mansion?" Xiao Yanjing asked back. Han Ce has an intelligence network in his hand and can know a lot of things.

    The royal family's ancestral temple was blown up. How could such a thing be hidden from Han Ce.

    "The thing about the royal family's ancestral temple being bombed?"

    Han Ce clarified Xiao Yanjing's reason for coming.

    Xiao Yan nodded, "You're right, the ancestral temple was bombed, and the city defense battalion is duty-bound. My father ordered me to find the murderer within three days!" Xiao Yanjing told Han Ce about the time limit that Emperor Jingrui had given him, but did not say anything.  What is the punishment.

    "Are you so sure that I can help you?"

    "Back when you led the crowd to beat Tao Chengjie, I saw Jia Gu and the others." Xiao Yanjing's words seemed to be threatening, but they were more like teasing each other between good friends.

    As if to say that I have already helped you once, you should also help me once.

    "I didn't let you hide it at the time!"

    "So I'm being self-indulgent?" Xiao Yanjing looked at Han Ce quietly, and finally sighed, "Hey, the world is going down, people's hearts are not old! I'm leaving!"

    Xiao Yanjing waved his hand, as if he was extremely disappointed with Han Ce and wanted to leave.

    "Go, go! Get out of here!"

    Han Ce knew that Xiao Yanjing was joking with him.

    As a whole, Han Ce and Xiao Yanjing were the only ones who could joke like this, and Xiao Yanjing never showed such an appearance in front of outsiders.

    "Can you help? If I go out, you will lose me!"

    Xiao Yanjing stood at the door and looked at Han Ce.

    There seemed to be hope in his eyes.

    "Say it!"

    "I knew it!" Xiao Yanjing walked in front of Han Ce, "I found gunpowder residue, and I suspect that someone from the Ministry of Industry leaked the gunpowder."

    Xiao Yanjing told Han Ce what they found out.

    Gunpowder residue.

    It was indeed a correct choice to go to the Ministry of Industry at the first time. The gunpowder management in Daliang is very strict, and only the Ministry of Industry has gunpowder.

    Therefore, the emergence of gunpowder pointed the finger at the Ministry of Industry.

    This is indeed an obvious clue.

    However, what Han Ce is worried about is that the Ministry of Industry may not have many clues to provide to the city defense battalion.

    The Ministry of Industry knew the rules of the imperial court and the laws of Daliang, so how could it be possible to privately sell gunpowder, which is a capital offense.

    "I'm afraid there is not much hope in the Ministry of Industry!"

    Han Ce expressed his inner thoughts.

    "It's the same as you said. The people from the city defense battalion who went to the Ministry of Industry to investigate before coming here came back and said that there is no problem! It's not the gunpowder leaked by the Ministry of Industry."

    Xiao Yanjing told Han Ce that if things were true as he said, he could find the result by investigating the Ministry of Industry, and he would not come back to trouble Han Ce.

    "Do you think it will be a ghost market?"

    Xiao Yanjing asked.

    It is rumored that ghost markets have everything that one expects to find, and everything exists, and it is not impossible to buy gunpowder from ghost markets.

    "You can check the ghost market, but I also hope that you don't have too much hope!"

    Han Ce said.

    Gunpowder is also very rare in the ghost market.

    "Then where do we go on business?"

    Xiao Yanjing asked.

    Both the Ministry of Industry and the ghost market were rejected by Han Ce.

    "Let's investigate from the Ministry of Industry and focus on the Ministry of Industry!" Han Ce toldYan Yanjing reminded, Xiao Yanjing frowned, didn't the Ministry of Industry no longer have any problems?

    Why do we need to investigate from the Ministry of Industry.

    "Gunpowder is not sold privately, but it can be sold blatantly!"

    Han Ce said.

    As long as all procedures meet the requirements and everything is reasonable, it is impossible for the Ministry of Industry to find any problems.

    "What do you mean?"

    "You go to the Ministry of Industry to investigate those factories that make fireworks and firecrackers. They buy gunpowder from the Ministry of Industry every year to make fireworks and firecrackers. Why don't you investigate such a large batch of gunpowder whose whereabouts are unknown?"

    Han Ce asked.

    Manufacture fireworks and buy gunpowder from the Ministry of Industry, but where are these gunpowder used?  Does the Ministry of Industry know?  Even if you know it, have you checked it carefully?

    "You mean, there is a problem with the factory that makes fireworks?"

    Xiao Yanjing seemed to understand what Han Ce meant.

    "That's right, at least they have a lot of gunpowder in their hands, and making fireworks and firecrackers is similar to making black gunpowder!" Han Ce continued.

    Having said that, Han Ce even suspects that this is a big conspiracy.

    The bombing of the ancestral temple was just the beginning.

    More places will be bombed in the next few days.

    "You're right, I'll check right away!"

    Xiao Yan nodded, if the fireworks and firecrackers were used as a cover, it was true that no one would find out.

    "I suggest that if you really want to investigate, you should check all the account books of the Ministry of Households for selling gunpowder within five years, and check the fireworks and firecracker factories above one by one to see if there is anything wrong with it!"

    Han Ce reminded Xiao Yanjing.

    "Did you notice something?"

    "I feel that things are not simple. Why did they blow up the ancestral temple? If it is simply to demonstrate to the royal family, there is no need to wait until now!"

    Han Ce said.

    He couldn't figure out what was going on here for a while, but he always felt that things were not simple.

    "If there is a problem with the fireworks factory, you can imagine that you have been buying gunpowder from the Ministry of Industry all these years. You said that so much gunpowder is all made into black powder. What do you think will happen?"

    Han Ce looked at Xiao Yanjing while speaking, and Xiao Yanjing's face became serious. According to what Han Ce said, this matter is not easy.

    "Do you think this is coming for the emperor's birthday?"

    Xiao Yanjing asked.

    Soon it will be Emperor Jingrui's birthday, and the whole world will celebrate it at that time, but some people don't want to see such a situation, so they take action to destroy it.

    "Your reason fits the bill!"

    Han Ce nodded.

    Xiao Yanjing left Zhenbeihou Mansion.

    "My Lord!"

    Mu Hanfeng came in.

    "You also go to investigate secretly. If you find clues, it will be a help to him!" Han Ce rubbed his eyes when he said this.

    "How can my right eye keep jumping!"

    Han Ce actually had a feeling of unease in his heart. The bombing of the ancestral temple this time seems to be not that simple, and it is vaguely related to the Zhenbeihou Mansion.

    "Maybe it's Lord Hou, you're tired of looking for it!"

    Mu Hanfeng said.

    On the second day, Xiao Yanjing personally brought the people from the city defense battalion to the Ministry of Industry.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
