Nightwatcher Chapter 109: Make things difficult
Xu Qi'an quickly reached the bottom of the lake with fresh air in his eyes, like two small light bulbs in the dark.
There is silt accumulated at the bottom of the water. Centered on the foundation of the white marble high platform, the stone pillars are arranged in a unique pattern to guard the high platform in the center.
This seems to be a certain formation... Xu Qi'an guessed in his heart.
In Dafeng Capital, only the warlocks of Sitianjian can arrange formations. In other words, Sitianjian also participated in the construction of Yongzhen Shanhe Temple.
From this, it can be inferred that in addition to the current saint who knows Sangbo’s secrets, there is also the bad old man Jianzheng...So, is it true that Jianzheng is sick? Or was it caused by the collapse of the Mountain and River Temple in Yongzhen?
His.... What is the secret hidden here.
The thief who plots the secrets of Sangbo and destroys the mountain and river temple in Yongzhen is definitely a king class...I am mixed with a small gong, and I feel that I will be fought by the gods at any time and hurt the pond fish...
Even if I can find out the truth, can the royal family tolerate me?
Thinking of this, Xu Qi'an feels heavy.
"Wei Yuan has already pointed me out the way. Whenever there is any trouble that cannot be solved, he will notify the Yamen and notify Yang Jinluo.... This hint is obvious enough. I am just a **** to explore the way and a hunting dog in charge of tracking. . It’s really not good, I’m a big deal, and get out of suspended animation, away from the capital."
While his thoughts flickered, he stroked his limbs and leaned against the stone pillar closest to him.
The surface of the stone pillars is carved with twisted and weird tadpole characters.
Xu Qi'an probably saw that this is a certain kind of text, which cannot be interpreted due to the limited education level. He memorized a few words firmly.
After inspecting several stone pillars and discovering the same words, deep sea phobia prompted Xu Qi'an to leave the dark bottom of the lake.
Being in the silent, deep water bottom, he always had a pair of cold eyes staring at him behind him, or a huge black shadow appeared in the darkness in front of him.
Xu Qi'an got out of the water, returned to the boat, inserted the black gold long knife in his mouth back into the sheath, and steamed the lake water with luck.
Piles of steam rise.
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 he has such strong aura?
"Your Qi machine is not like a new Qi training state." Li Yuchun said puzzledly.
"I just meditate for two hours a day." Xu Qi'an said innocently.
"...." Brother Chun waved his hand, unwilling to talk more about this topic. He looked at Yang Yinluo and said, "The surname Yang is not convinced by you. Just come up and analyze the underwater situation with us. It’s still a gain. And if your analysis is the same as him, he will be convinced.
"Everyone is a member of the team, there is no need to hide it."
The tall and thin Yang Feng smiled without refuting.
Xu Qi'an glanced at Min Shan, who had a beard. This man did not speak, but stared at Xu Qi'an, waiting for him to speak.
Xu Qi'an rolled his eyes: "From the fracture of the high platform, it can be inferred that the blasting point was in the temple, not the bottom of the water. In addition, most of the gunpowder was hidden in the temple after the ancestor worship ceremony. More than an hour."
"If you hid in the temple in advance, the smell of gunpowder is strong, and your majesty will definitely smell it when you enter the temple. Only after the ancestor worship is over will you have the opportunity. Go to the errands, Dali temple officials, and ritual officials responsible for the finishing All the staff will arrest and interrogate one by one, Yang Yinluo, you will do it.
"In addition, I will inform the Yamen and ask your Majesty for a few Sitianjian's white clothes to come over to coordinate the case. You can handle the case, the boss. Well, I want the Sitianjian's Plucking Girl to help me.
"Min Yinluo, you follow me to the Ministry of Industry, I want the entry and exit records of the gunpowder factory. It is impossible to smuggle out such a large amount of gunpowder."
After a pause, he added: "But before that, we must first 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, with orderly tasks, clear thinking, and meticulous logic. The two silver gongs, Yang Feng and Min Shan, put away their contempt and distrust of him.
Ask yourself, if you replace it with them, it is estimated that you will not be able to give such a clear direction so quickly, how can you have to think for a long time to clear your mind.
The corpses were gathered in the barracks, and the imperial army led them to a camp tent, opened the curtains, and inside were corpses covered with white cloth.
The same corpse was in the two large tents nearby. The soldiers patrolling near Sangbo this time, a total of 320 people, all died.
Xu Qi'an lifted the white cloth and looked at the tragic condition of each corpse.
"Do you still have an autopsy?" Seeing that his expression became more serious, Yang Feng couldn't help asking: "What did you find?"
"A major event was discovered."
"You said." The three silver gongs were refreshed, and even the leader of the imperial army who led the way looked over.
Xu Qi'an said slowly: "I found myself just a small gong. In a battle, three adults have to work hard."
All the soldiers died in exactly the same way. They were all drained of blood by some demon method, and there were no other wounds on their bodies.
This method cannot be dealt with by practicing Qi.
At that time, when he really met the thief, Xu Qi'an could only wave his hand: rush to me!
I stay behind.
.....
Xu Qi'an rushed to the Ministry of Industry with Min Shan. There was a gold medal to open the way, and the traffic was unimpeded.
He looked for the official in charge of the gunpowder factory and said: "This official wants to check the production and use records of gunpowder in the past month."
Account books are easy to fake, and the most common method is to exaggerate the usage. For example, to make a batch of shells, only two hundred kilograms of gunpowder is needed, but in the record, it is written as three hundred kilograms.
For example, when manufacturing gunpowder, the raw materials transported can make two hundred kilograms of gunpowder, but the amount of raw materials is deliberately written down so that the excess gunpowder can be kept private.
But these methods cannot withstand investigation, and there are clues to any crime.
Xu Qi'an didn't trust the officials of the Ministry of Industry, and sent people to call the government office to transfer his own officials. Dozens of people flooded into the Ministry of Industry.
This is a cumbersome process and a lot of work, because you have to go to the raw material collection site to obtain evidence and verify it.
....
After having lunch at the Ministry of Engineering, Xu Qi'an sat comfortably on the big chair to pick his teeth, watching the clerks and gongs busy.
Yang Feng, who was in charge of investigating the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Rites, and the imperial servant, sent people back to report the letter.
"Three officials from the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Rites were missing, and three of the servants in the palace were also missing." The Tongluo who reported the letter said.
In the palace, the eunuchs with lower status are called errands. Usually do chores.
"When did you disappear?" Xu Qi'an sat up straight, and instantly broke free from his lazy state.
"The people responsible for the end of the ancestor worship ceremony were all detained by the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and the government office. They refused to hand over to us." Tongluo said helplessly: "Yang Yinluo is confronting the people from the Ministry of Justice, and is deadlocked. "
"Dare to fight with us and grab someone?" Xu Qi'an raised her eyebrows.
Although it has not been a long time to join the fighters, they have already been tainted with the arrogance of the fighters.
Tongluo explained: "The Ministry of Justice and the government office have also received orders from your majesty to investigate the case. We are not bothered by the emperor’s orders. Yang Yinluo doesn’t have the gold medal bestowed by the imperial court. Let the villain Hurry to inform the adults."
[久久fo], the place where you usually fight more people, is higher than other yamen, but there is one exception, that is, the emperor's decree.
"Go, let me ask someone!" Xu Qi'an exploded.
The emperor allowed the Ministry of Justice and the government to intervene in this case at the same time. This is not surprising. Many major cases are jointly investigated by multiple parties. It is difficult to deal with other matters because of a limited manpower and duties. Put in all manpower and material resources.
The advantages of multi-party investigation are obvious, but the disadvantages are also obvious, that is, grabbing merit!
"For me, it’s not that I’m fine if the Sangbo case is solved. I must make a decisive contribution to this case so that the court can exonerate me from the death penalty. Punishment.... Who dares to hinder me from handling the case, you are never welcome!"
When it comes to wealth and life, Xu Qi'an did not delay, grabbed the black gold knife on the table, looked around the staff, and said loudly:
"Er, etc. continue to investigate the case and thoroughly check all production and consumption records from mid-year to the present, and find out the clues. Each person will reward twenty taels of silver."
As the organizer, he has the right to give certain rewards, and the rewards come out of the government officials.
The clerks who came to call on the staff's office have their eyes glowing.
Twenty taels of silver, equal to their half-year salary.
Leaving the staff, Xu Qi'an took Yin Gong Minshan and the other gongs, hurriedly left the Ministry of Engineering, rode a fast horse, and rushed to the Ministry of Justice.
The Xing Department was not far away, and Xu Qi'an saw the red-painted gate of the Xing Department before he could add a whip to the incense.
The door was heavily guarded, and two rows of tough soldiers guarded.
Yang Feng and six Gong Gongs were blocked outside, and the two sides were facing each other.
"The Ministry of Criminal Justice was ordered to investigate cases and was good at the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. Those who obstructed the handling of the case should be killed." A middle-aged officer led by one hand pressed the knife and beat the guards.
Behind him, dozens of soldiers pressed the handle of the knife.
Yang Feng’s forehead blue veins burst into rage. Probably he has never been so aggrieved before. The little people in the past dared to scold him face to face~IndoMTL.com~ Although he also held the handle of the knife, he did not dare to be reckless. The organizer was not there. Therefore, he is not qualified to claim that he is acting on orders. It is impossible for the Criminal Ministry to know that the gangmen was also ordered to participate in the case, but deliberately kept them out.
This is deliberately disgusting them, deliberately stumbling them.
"Hey!" The headed middle-aged officer sneered, pressing the knife with one hand, and seeing a crowd of bettors running on horseback from a distance.
"The Criminal Ministry handles the case, and unrelated people break into the Criminal Ministry without permission!"
As soon as he finished shouting, he saw the young gong riding the horse at the forefront, pulling out the crossbow from his waist, and pulling the trigger without hesitation.
