Xu Qi'an quickly reached the bottom of the lake, with fresh air in his eyes, like two small light bulbs in the dark.
Silt is piled up on the bottom of the water, with the foundation of the white marble platform as the center, stone pillars are arranged in a unique pattern, and the platform is guarded in the center.
This seems to be some kind of formationXu Qi'an guessed in his heart.
In Dafeng capital, only the sorcerers of Sitianjian can arrange formations. That is to say, Sitianjian also participated in the construction of Yongzhen Shanhe Temple back then.
From this, it can be inferred that apart from the current Holy Majesty, the one who knows Sangbo's secret is the old man Jianzheng So, is it true that Jianzheng is sick? Or, was it caused by the collapse of the Shanhe Temple in Yongzhen?
HissWhat kind of secret is hidden here.
The forces plotting Sangbo's secrets and the thieves who destroyed the Shanhe Temple in Yongzhen are definitely king-level I am a small gong and I feel like I will be hit by the gods at any time
Even if I can find out the truth, can the royal family tolerate me?
Thinking of this, Xu Qi'an felt heavy in his heart.
"Wei Yuan has pointed out the way for me. If you encounter any troubles that cannot be solved, you should notify the Yamen and Yang Jinluo This implication is obvious enough. I am just a pawn to explore the way, and a hunting dog in charge of tracking. I really can't do it." , I'll feign death and get away, stay away from the capital."
As thoughts flickered, he swung his limbs and leaned against the stone pillar closest to him.
The surface of the stone pillar is carved with twisted and weird tadpole characters.
Xu Qi'an probably saw that this was some kind of writing, but due to his limited education level, he couldn't decipher it. He firmly memorized a few words.
After checking a few more stone pillars and finding the same writing, Xu Qi'an's deep-sea phobia prompted Xu Qi'an to leave the dark lake bottom.
Being in the silent and deep water, he always imagined that there was a pair of cold eyes staring at him behind him, or that there was a huge black figure emerging from the darkness ahead.
Xu Qi'an got out of the water, returned to the boat, put the long black gold knife in his mouth back into the scabbard, and luckily evaporated the lake.
A plume of steam rises.
Li Yuchun stared at him in surprise. This kid was promoted to the Qi training level in his hands. How long has it been since the Qi machine has become so strong?
"Your qi machine doesn't look like a newly promoted qi training state." Li Yuchun was puzzled.
"I just meditate for two hours a day." Xu Qi'an had an innocent expression.
"" Brother Chun waved his hands, unwilling to talk about this topic, he looked at Yang Yinluo, and said: "Your surname Yang is not convinced, just now came up to analyze the situation at the bottom of the water with us, it's not bad Harvest. And said, if your analysis is the same as his, he will be convinced.
"Everyone is on the same team, there is no need to hide it."
The tall and thin Yang Feng smiled and did not refute.
Xu Qi'an glanced at the bearded Min Shan, who didn't speak, but stared at Xu Qi'an, waiting for him to speak.
Xu Qi'an rolled his eyes: "From the break of the high platform, it can be inferred that the blasting point was in the temple, not at the bottom of the water. In addition, most of the gunpowder was hidden in the temple after the ancestor worship ceremony. It will not exceed an hour before the ancestor worship ceremony ends. .¡±
"If it was hidden in the temple in advance, the smell of gunpowder would be strong. Your Majesty would have smelled it when he entered the temple. Only after the ancestor worship is over will he have a chance. Go and arrest all the errands in charge of finishing, the officials of Dali Temple, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites , Interrogate them one by one, Yang Yinluo, you can handle this matter.
"In addition, inform the Yamen to ask His Majesty for a few white clothes from the Sitianjian to come and cooperate with the case. Boss, you can handle it. Well, I want the girl Caiwei from the Sitianjian to help me.
"Min Yinluo, follow me to the Ministry of Industry. I want the records of the gunpowder factory's entry and exit. It is impossible to smuggle out such a large amount of gunpowder."
Paused, and then added: "But before that, we must first take a look at the bones of the sacrificed soldiers."
The three silver gongs looked at each other, and found that this little brother was quite reliable in his work, the tasks were arranged in an orderly manner, his thinking was clear, and his logic was rigorous. The two silver gongs, Yang Feng and Min Shan, put away their contempt and distrust of him.
? Ask yourself, if it were them, they probably would not be able to give such a clear direction so quickly, and they would have to think for a long time before they could clear their minds.
The corpses were collected in the barracks, and the imperial guards led them outside a tent, opened the curtain, and inside were corpses covered with white cloths.
The same corpses were in the two large tents nearby. The soldiers patrolling near Sangbo this time, a total of 312 people, all died.
Xu Qi'an lifted the white cloth and looked at the tragic condition of each corpse.
"You still know how to perform an autopsy?" Yang Feng saw that his expression was getting more and more serious, so he couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong?What? "
"Find a big thing."
"Tell me." The three silver gongs lifted their spirits, and even the little leader of the forbidden army who led the way looked over.
Xu Qi'an said slowly: "I found out that I am just a small gong. When encountering battles, I still need three adults to work hard."
All the soldiers died in the same way. They were all drained of blood by some kind of evil method, and there were no other wounds on their bodies.
This method cannot be dealt with by the Qi training environment.
When the time comes when he really encounters a thief, Xu Qi'an can only wave his hand: Come for me!
Stay behind by yourself
? Xu Qi'an took Min Shan to the Ministry of Industry, and there was a gold medal to open the way, unimpeded.
He found the official in charge of the gunpowder factory and said, "I want to check the production and use records of gunpowder in the past month."
Account books are easy to falsify, and the most common method is to exaggerate the usage. For example, to manufacture a batch of shells, only 200 kilograms of gunpowder is needed, but when recorded, it is written as 300 kilograms.
Another example is when making gunpowder, the transported raw materials can produce two hundred kilograms of gunpowder, but the amount of raw materials is deliberately written down so that the excess gunpowder can be kept privately.
However, none of these methods can withstand investigation, and there are clues to any crime.
Xu Qi'an didn't trust the officials of the Ministry of Industry, so he sent people to beat up the yamen to transfer his own officials, and dozens of people rushed into the Ministry of Industry in mighty force.
This is a cumbersome process with a lot of work, because it has to go to the place where the raw materials are collected to collect evidence and verify
?After lunch in the Ministry of Industry, Xu Qi'an sat comfortably on the big chair and picked his teeth, watching the officials and gongs busy.
? Yang Feng, who was in charge of investigating Dali Temple, the Ministry of Rites, and the servants in the palace, sent someone back to report.
"Three officials from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Rites are missing, and three servants in the palace are also missing." The Tongluo who reported the letter said.
In the palace, eunuchs with relatively low status are called errands. Usually doing chores.
"When did you disappear?" Xu Qi'an sat up straight and broke free from his laziness in an instant.
"The people responsible for the ending of the ancestor worship ceremony were all detained by the Ministry of Punishment and the government. They refused to hand them over to us." Tongluo said helplessly: "Yang Yinluo is confronting the people from the Ministry of Punishment, and the stalemate cannot be resolved."
"Dare to fight and rob people with us?" Xu Qi'an raised his eyebrows.
? Although it is still young to join the watchman, it has already been contaminated with the arrogance of the watchman.
Tongluo explained: "The Ministry of Punishment and the government office have also received orders from His Majesty to investigate the case. They are all ordered by the emperor, so they don't worry about us. Yang Yinluo doesn't have the gold medal bestowed by the emperor, so let the villain come here quickly." Inform your lord."
Usually, the status of watchmen is higher than that of other yamen, but there is one exception, that is, the emperor's decree.
"Go, go over and ask for someone!" Xu Qi'an was furious.
It is not surprising that the emperor let the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and the government government get involved in the case at the same time. Many major cases are jointly investigated by multiple parties. Only one government office has limited manpower, and it has its own duties. It is difficult to devote all the manpower to handle other things. physical resources.
The benefits of multi-party joint investigation are obvious, but the disadvantages are also obvious, that is, grabbing credit!
"For me, it's not that if the Sangbo case is solved, I'll be fine. I have to make a decisive contribution in this case so that the court can exempt me from the death penalty. If I don't make any contribution, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape the punishment of beheading at Caishikou. Anyone who dares to obstruct my handling of the case is absolutely welcome!"
? When it came to family and life, Xu Qi'an didn't delay, grabbed the black gold long knife on the table, looked around at the officials, and said loudly:
"You will continue to investigate the case, and thoroughly check all the production and consumption records from the middle of the year to the present. If you find out the clues, each person will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver."
As the organizer, he has the right to give certain rewards, and the rewards come from the watchman's yamen.
The eyes of all the officials who came to beat the watchman's yamen were shining.
Twenty taels of silver is equivalent to their half-year salary.
Leaving the officials behind, Xu Qi'an hurriedly left the Ministry of Industry with the silver gong Minshan and the rest of the gongs, rode a fast horse, and rushed to the Ministry of Punishment.
The Ministry of Punishment was not far away, and Xu Qi'an saw the red-painted gate of the Ministry of Punishment within a stick of incense.
The gate was heavily guarded, and two rows of armored soldiers guarded it.
? Yang Feng and the six Tonggongs were blocked outside, and the two sides were confronting each other.
"The Criminal Department is ordered to investigate cases. It is good at the Criminal Department. Anyone who hinders the handling of the case will be killed." A middle-aged officer in the lead, holding a knife with one hand, scolded the beating officer.
Behind him, dozens of soldiers held down the handle of the knife.
The veins on Yang Feng's forehead were swollen, probably he had never been so aggrieved, and the little people in the past dared to scold him face to face.
Although he also pressed the handle of the knife, he did not dare to be reckless. The chief officer is not here, so he has no right to claim to handle the case by order. It is impossible for the Ministry of Punishment not to know that the beater was also ordered to participate in the case, but deliberately kept him out.
This is deliberately disgusting them and deliberately tripping them up.
"Hey!" The leading middle-aged officer sneered, pressed the knife with one hand, and saw a group of battalion men on horseback from a distance.
"The Ministry of Criminal Justice handles the case. Anyone who has nothing to do with trespassing in the Ministry of Criminal Justice will be shot or killed!"
As soon as he finished shouting, he saw the young Tong Gong riding his horse at the forefront, pulled out the military crossbow at his waist, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
ps: Ask for a monthly pass!
