Chapter 110

Xu Qi'an soon got to the bottom of the lake, and his eyes were filled with fresh air, like two small light bulbs in the dark.

The bottom of the water is filled with silt. Centered on the foundation of the white marble platform, the stone columns are arranged in a unique pattern, and the platform is arched in the center.

This seems to be some kind of array... Xu Qi'an guessed in his heart.

In the capital of Dafeng, the only one who can arrange the array is the magician of Si Tianjian. That is to say, Si Tianjian also participated in the construction of the mountain and River Temple in Yongzhen.

From this we can infer that besides the present saint, the one who knows the secret of Sampo also has the bad old man in prison. So, is it true that the prison is ill? Or is it caused by the collapse of Shanhe temple in Yongzhen?

Hiss... What's the secret here.

The bandits who plot the secret power of Sangbo and destroy the mountain and River Temple in Yongzhen are absolutely King level. I am a little Causeway. I feel that I will be attacked by 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.

"Wei Yuan has pointed out the way for me. If I encounter any trouble that can't be solved, I will inform Yamen and Yang Jinluo... This hint is obvious enough. I'm just a pawn exploring the way and a hound in charge of tracking. I really can't. I can't get away from the capital by feigning death. "

In the twinkling of his mind, he paddled his limbs to the nearest stone pillar.

The surface of the stone column is carved with twisted and strange tadpole characters.

Xu Qi'an probably saw that it was some kind of writing, which could not be interpreted due to the limited cultural level. He kept a few words in his mind.

After checking several stone pillars and finding the same words, deep-sea phobia prompted Xu Qian to leave the dark bottom of the lake.

In the quiet, deep water, he always has a pair of cold eyes staring at him behind him, or a huge shadow appears in the dark ahead.

Xu Qian came out of the water, returned to the boat, put the black gold sword in his mouth back into the scabbard, and evaporated the lake water with luck.

Wisps of steam rose.

Li Yuchun stares at him in surprise. The boy is promoted to practice Qi in his hands. How long has the Qi become so powerful?

"It's not like you're in a new state of practicing Qi." Li Yuchun was puzzled.

"I just meditate for two hours a day." Xu Qian's innocent expression.

"Brother chun waved his hand and didn't want to talk more about this topic. He looked at Yang Yinluo and said," I don't agree with you. I just came up to analyze the situation of the underwater with us, and I still got some results. And if your analysis is the same as his, he is convinced.

"Everyone is in the same team. There's no need to hide."

Yang Feng, who is tall and thin, smiles without refutation.

Xu Qi'an looks at the bearded min Shan, who doesn't speak, but stares at Xu Qi'an, waiting for him to speak.

Xu Qian rolled his eyes: "from the fracture of Gaotai, we can infer that the blasting point is in the temple, not under the water. In addition, most of the gunpowder was hidden in the temple after the ancestor worship ceremony. It is not more than one hour before the end of the ceremony

"If you hide in the temple ahead of time, the smell of gunpowder is strong. Your majesty will smell it when you enter the temple. Only after the ancestor worship is over will there be a chance. Go to arrest all the officers in charge of the ending work, Dali Temple officials and etiquette Department officials, and interrogate them one by one. Yang Yinluo, you should do it.

"In addition, inform the Yamen and ask your majesty for the white clothes of several sky wardens to cooperate in handling the case. Boss, you do it. Well, I want miss Caiwei from the sky supervisor to help me.

"Min Yinluo, follow me to the work department. I want the entry and exit records of the powder factory. It's impossible to smuggle out such a large amount of gunpowder. "

After a pause, he added, "but before that, we have to look at the bones of the dead soldiers."

The three silver gongs looked at each other and found that the little brother's work was quite reliable. The task was arranged in an orderly way with clear thinking and careful logic. Yang Feng and min Shan put away their contempt and distrust for him.

If you ask yourself, it is estimated that they will not be able to give such a clear direction so soon. It will take a long time to think about it.

The corpses were gathered in the barracks. The imperial guards took them to a camp tent and opened the curtain. Inside was a corpse covered with white cloth.

There were the same bodies in the two tents nearby. This time, there were 312 taxi soldiers patrolling around Sangpo, all of whom died.

Xu Qi'an lifted the white cloth and looked at the tragedy of each corpse.

"Do you still have an autopsy?" Yang Feng saw that he looked more and more serious. He couldn't help asking, "what did you find?"

"Find a big thing."

"You said As soon as the spirits of the three silver gongs were boosted, even the small head of the imperial guards who led the way also looked over.

Xu Qi'an said slowly: "I found that I was just a small gong. In the face of a battle, three adults had to work hard."

All the soldiers died in the same way. They were all drained by some kind of magic. There were no other wounds on their bodies.This method can't be dealt with by practicing Qi.

At that time, if you really meet the thief, Xu Qi'an can only wave his hand: give me a rush!

I'm in the back.

...

Xu Qi'an and min Shan rushed to the Ministry of industry, and the gold medal opened the way.

He went to the official in charge of the powder factory and said, "I want to check the production and use records of the powder in the past month."

It's easy to make false account books, and the most common method is exaggeration. For example, to make a batch of shells, only 200 kg of gunpowder is needed, but when recording, it is written as 300 kg.

Another example is that when making gunpowder, the raw materials transported can make 200 kg of gunpowder, but the amount of raw materials is deliberately written down, so that the surplus gunpowder can be hidden.

But none of these means can stand investigation, and there are clues to any crime.

Xu Qi'an did not trust the officials of the Ministry of work. He sent people to beat the watchman Yamen and transferred his own officials. Dozens of people poured into the Ministry of work.

This is a cumbersome process, a lot of work, because we have to go to the raw material collection place for evidence collection and verification.

...

after lunch in the work department, Xu Qi'an sat comfortably on the big chair to pick his teeth, watching the officials and gongs busy.

Yang Feng, who was in charge of investigating Dali temple, the Ministry of rites and the palace, sent people back to report.

"Three officials of Dali temple and the Ministry of rites are missing, and three of the Palace officials are missing." Said the telegraph Gong.

In the Imperial Palace, the eunuchs with lower status were called servants. It's usually a chore.

"When did you go missing?" Xu Qi'an sat up straight and broke away from his lazy state.

"All the people in charge of the closing ceremony of ancestor worship were detained by the Ministry of punishment and the government, and they refused to hand over to us." Causeway helpless way: "Yang Yinluo is with the people of the Ministry of punishment confrontation, stalemate."

"How dare you fight with us?" Xu Qian's eyebrows stand up.

Although it is still a short time to join the watchmen, they have been infected with the arrogance of the watchmen.

Causeway explained: "the Ministry of punishment and the government have also received your Majesty's orders to investigate cases. It's all the emperor's orders, so we're not afraid. Yang Yinluo doesn't have a gold medal from the emperor. Let the villain rush to inform the adults. "

Usually, the position of watchmen is higher than that of other yamen, but there is one exception, that is, the emperor's order.

"Let's go, we're going to be important!" Xu Qi'an was blown up.

It is not surprising that the emperor involved the Ministry of punishment and the government in this case at the same time. Many major cases were jointly investigated by many parties. A single government has limited manpower and has its own duties. It is difficult to invest all its manpower and material resources to deal with other matters.

The advantages of multi-party joint investigation are obvious, but the disadvantages are also obvious, that is, seizing credit!

"For me, it's not that I'll be ok if the Sangpo case is solved. I have to make a decisive contribution in this case, so that the imperial court can get rid of my capital crime. If I don't make any contribution, I'm afraid I can't escape the punishment of beheading at the entrance of Caishikou... Who dares to hinder me from handling the case, I'm not polite!"

When it comes to his life and family, Xu Qi'an did not delay. He grabbed the black gold sword on the desk and looked around the officials. He said in a loud voice:

"we will continue to investigate the case and thoroughly check all the production and consumption records from the middle of the year to the present. We will find out the clues and reward each person 20 liang of silver."

As the organizer, he has the right to give certain rewards, which come from the watchman's Yamen.

All the officials from the watchman's Yamen have bright eyes.

Twenty taels of silver is worth their salary for half a year.

Leaving the officials behind, Xu Qi'an left the work department in a hurry with the silver Gong, Minshan and the rest of the gongs. He rode a fast horse and rushed to the punishment department.

Not far away from the Ministry of punishment, Xu Qi'an saw the red door of the Ministry of punishment.

The gate was heavily guarded by two lines of soldiers.

Yang Feng and the six gongs were blocked outside, and the two sides were facing each other.

"The Ministry of punishment is good at investigating cases according to its orders. Those who hinder the handling of cases will be killed." A middle-aged officer at the head of the army, with one hand on the knife, yelled at the watchman.

Behind him, dozens of Jiashi pressed the handle of the knife.

Yang Feng's forehead was green and angry. Maybe he had never been so subdued before, and the little people in the past dared to scold him face to face.

Although he also held the handle of the knife, he did not dare to be reckless. If the organizer was not here, he was not qualified to claim that he was authorized to handle the case. It is impossible for the Ministry of punishment not to know that the watchmen were also ordered to take part in the case, but deliberately kept them out.

It's disgusting and stumbling.

"Hey The middle-aged officer at the head sneered and pressed the knife with one hand. From a distance, he saw a crowd of watchmen coming on horseback.

"When the Ministry of criminal justice handles a case, people who have nothing to do with it break into the Ministry of criminal justice without permission, and they will be killed!"

As soon as he finished shouting, he saw the young Gong in front of him pulling out his crossbow and pulling the trigger without hesitation.

PS: ask for a monthly ticket!

There's another chapter in the evening. It's supposed to be a little late. Don't talk about it. Blow up the liver.
