I [Imperial] Am Not This Kind of Man: 44. Roaring Villa

lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters I am not such a man!

After leaving the palace, Qin Nuo didn't return to the house, so he simply took someone to the villa.

The reason is that the news of the detention of the merchant ship has not been fully spread. The Manchu civil and military officials didn’t know that there was something wrong with this idle prince, except for a few well-informed people. Once the news spreads, the censor must catch the wind and catch the shadow, and impeach him on the table.

At that time, I will become the focus of everyone's attention, and it will not be so convenient if I want to act. Therefore, Qin Nuo must fight quickly and find evidence that is beneficial to him in the shortest time.

It was already late at night when I arrived at the villa, and it was rare that Lin Jia and everyone from the Xing Department didn't even leave.

The villa originally belonged to Qin Jian occupies a vast area, and the pastures can not be seen at a glance. The villa is built at the foot of the mountain, with an open terrain, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the entire building is extremely imposing, with endless pavilions and pavilions.

Qin Nuo couldn't help being surprised when he saw it for the first time. Instead of calling it a villa, it would be more appropriate to call it a palace.

Above the main entrance are the four big characters of "Roaring Villa", which must be from the hands of famous masters. At a glance, the wild and murderous air blows over your face.

Receiving the news of Qin Nuo's arrival, some of the managers in the Tianzhuang ran out in a hurry, their clothes were still messy.

Qin Nuo ignored these people and asked: "Where are the Lin from the Criminal Ministry?"

The leading steward stepped forward to lead the horse for Qin Nuo, and replied respectfully: "Master Lin and they first checked the main courtyard of the main hall, and then went to the mountain. Now they don’t know where the search is. ."

"I don't know where to search?" Qin Nuo frowned: "Is there no one to follow?"

"Master Lin said that we were not allowed to follow, and only took two old handymen from the farm back." The steward bent down and replied in a low voice.

Qin Nuo snorted, Qin Jian’s treason case was very involved, and the original servants in Roaring Villa were cleaned up. Now these servants are assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and they are also responsible for the affairs of the villa. Get started. With such a large manor fortress, I'm afraid I haven't figured out the situation since taking office.

Repelled the steward, Qin Nuo led a horse to gallop.

The roads in the villa are wide open and paved with smooth polished bluestone slabs. Qin Nuo directly led the guards and drove straight in. Going all the way through the backyard, it stopped at the front of the mountain at the back of the villa.

Qin Nuo got off the horse, shook off the reins, and led people along the mountain trail.

The mountain road is winding, and the construction site is extremely steep. Not long after walking, the front of me suddenly opens up, and it is an ancient castle-like building on a whole clearing in the middle of the mountain. The huge boulders are built, and the momentum is strong.

Is this the battlefield of Qin Jian on the mountain that Qin Xun mentioned before? In terms of specifications and momentum, they directly killed the Star Formation Martial Arts Field of the previous Shence Camp.

How was this huge building built? Just transporting these boulders to the mountainside is a big project. As far as I can see, Qin Nuo once again has a new understanding of Qin Jian's luxury life.

The arena has been closed because it was originally one of Qin Jian’s training places, so the servants were all caught clean, and Qin Nuo is not good at this, the new steward has never sent someone to come. After finishing, it was locked for several months.

Opening the door, the arena is open and large in scale, but unexpectedly, there are not many rooms and seats for the visitors.

Perhaps the private arena was originally built for one's entertainment.

Along the circling bluestone stairs all the way up, Qin Nuo quickly came to the top of the battlefield.

Lin Jiazheng stood there, leaning on the barrier like a city wall with one hand, looking into the distance.

Following his eyes, looking down from the mountain, the first thing that catches the eye is the complex and exquisite mountain villa, with countless pavilions and pavilions stretching endlessly, and the farther direction is the endless grassland, with a lonely moon in the sky. , The breeze is refreshing, the villa stands quietly, and the scene in front of you is like a beautiful scene in a painting, which is particularly moving.

Qin Nuo retracted his gaze and said, "Master Lin is really responsible. It's so late at night, I still have to be busy tracking down clues."

Lin Jia woke up from her thoughts, turned around, bowed and saluted. "The prince is polite. When you come late at night, the prince is also working hard all the way."

Qin Nuo raised his hand, "You don't need to be polite, Master Lin has been busy for a long time, is there something to be gained?"

"Ha, I saw something unexpected. The castle here was once the place where the King Ni’s weapons and armors were privately hidden. The weapons inside have been evacuated. After careful investigation by the lower officials, the underground returned There is a secret storehouse, the location is hidden, and it was ignored by the previous search. Now the storehouse is empty, and most of the weapons carried on the royal merchant ship are most likely from this secret storehouse."

"Is there a secret vault under the castle? The structure is so complicated, how to build it?" Qin Nuo was surprised that the scale of this castle was even larger than he thought.

Lin Jia couldn't help but glance at him. The concern of this prince is really strange.

But he explained, "Lin is not a talented person. He once read the geography of this mountain. This place was supposed to be a small lake. Later, because the earth dragon turned over, the lake's water vein was cut off and was accepted by King Lai. On a whim, a different village was built on it. Unfortunately, he was guilty and killed before it was built. After being idle for more than ten years, he fell into the hands of Niwang. Niwang Guangneng recruited skilled craftsmen to rebuild it, and it became the current situation. ."

At the beginning of the construction, the third brother was thinking about rebellion? Qin Nuo secretly smacked his tongue, this castle should have been built during Emperor Jing Yao's time. Qin Jian had expected that his life would be difficult for a long time.

"In the past few years, Niwang has been doing so much construction, don't you find any clues in the Criminal Department?"

Lin Jia's words choked, "I am dereliction of duty."

"Lin Tanhua is not your turn for dereliction of duty." Qin Nuo smiled. Lin Jia just took office at the Criminal Ministry last year and was still wandering around in the Imperial Academy.

"The luxury of luxury in the capital prevails, and most of the princes and noble houses have built mansions and fine arts academies. Even if the imperial king is exceptional, as the beloved son of the emperor, no one will talk too much."

Qin Nuo nodded. This is a reasonable explanation. He couldn't help but sighed: "It's just that the people everywhere are suffering."

After leaving the palace, he gradually learned that the current situation in the world is that almost the powerful and powerful dominate the government and resources. They have huge farms and shops. The people’s lives are hard. However, because the productivity is far stronger than the previous feudal dynasty, it is not yet To the point of being hungry.

Lin Jia also felt a little, and followed Qin Nuo's gaze to the distant field. "I have heard that there are 10,000 acres of fertile land here, and countless people can live, but it's a pity..."

The bitter wind is blowing from the distant pasture, and the howling of wild wolves can be faintly heard. Since it has become a large grassland, the ecological environment is surprisingly good. I heard that Qin Jian also stocked many tigers, leopards and wolves nearby for daily hunting and fun.

He was happy, but the people around him suffered. Even the Changshui Village before Qin Nuo had heard of the tragedy that tenant Ye Xing was besieged by wild wolves and died.

"It is really too much to change the land into a pasture. The lone king has known that he will be in charge. When next spring starts, he will plan to remove the pasture and restore it to fertile land. If there are tenant farmers who have operated here before, if anyone wants to return, You can get the seeds of farm tools for free, and you'll be exempted from the three-year land rent." Qin Nuo said casually, these were things he decided on the first day he took over the farm.

Lin Jia's eyes flashed astonished bright colors, and he immediately bent down deeply: "The king is kind, is the blessing of the people here." It is enough to just rebuild the fertile land, and even exempt the rent for three years, which is absolutely rare. Virtuous governance.

"Master Lin doesn't need to be like this. The people of the world follow the Qin clan as the main clan and are alone in the clan. It is the duty to let those under the rule live and work in peace and contentment." Qin Nuo shrugged and grew up in a civilized society. The responsibilities are as great as the rights are. This kind of thinking has been deeply ingrained, and only enjoyment and solicitation will only make the limited resources unbearable and eventually collapse.

"The weapons and armors found in the villa here have been searched by the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War is well kept, and there is no possibility of theft. So, most of the batch on the Lone King’s ship is this. The secret library is here."

"Lord Lord, don't worry about it. Niwang Manor has many fields, and there is more than one place to hide weapons. Maybe other places also have warehouses that the Ministry of Defense has searched for negligence."

Qin Nuo smiled and said nothing. This layout was for himself, so the weapon must have been hidden in his farm before. Several other manors have already been returned to the royal family. Could it be that the emperor discovered the weapon and hid it on his ship?

Lin Jia was embarrassed by Qin Nuo's smile. "Rights and wrongs are right and wrong, you have your own justice, the prince need not be anxious. The collection here can be known as long as you have asked the person in charge of the original farm. I want to leave and go to the Ministry of Defense to interrogate relevant people."

"It is not anxious to interrogate the people involved in this villa," Qin Nuo said slowly, "I wonder if the merchant ship has been interrogated for the boatman's handyman after the weapon was discovered?"

"Naturally asked, just because the previous collision caused the fire, the boatman's handyman has mostly died, and the remaining people have no obvious clues."

"Whether the lord has interrogated the porter workers in the surrounding docks."

"The wharf that set sail has been investigated. There are workers and boatmen on the wharf who carry goods. The Ministry of Criminal Justice has asked many people that the goods carried are absolutely correct drinks..." Lin Jia replied.

Everything on board has gone through multiple procedures and inspections. In order to ensure the quality, I specially sent Li Wan to check it. Therefore, if I want to replace the full cargo before sailing, it is impossible to have no traces at all.

"In this case, the ships should have been replaced while they were traveling." Qin Nuo groaned, "The next step is to check those ships that have met the king's ship."

Lin Jia’s face was distressed, "Master, the river is busy, and there are thousands of merchant ships passing in and out every day." Qin Nuo’s ship entered from the dock and was sealed in the port when it left the accident. It was already in the water. After walking for a full three days and three nights, such a long time, there are hundreds of ships passing by or passing by, and there are also hundreds of ships that are used by the rich and powerful. How to find it?

Qin Nuo said in a deep voice: "Ship navigation has its own rules, but replacing cargo is a time-consuming project, which will inevitably delay the speed of the ship. You only need to check the villages and towns that the king's merchant ship passes by and compare its arrival. In time, we can know which section of the river they have been delayed, thus shortening the scope of the inquiry. At that time, the ships passing by in the relevant range, as well as the two banks of the river, will be inspected. The clues of the handover between the two sides will be found. "

Lin Jia was stunned, and immediately burst into light, "The prince is smart."

"Master Lin is too acclaimed." Qin Nuo smiled: "This king's innocence is bothering Master Lin."

Lin Jiashen took a deep look at Qin Nuo, and said no more, bending over to say goodbye.

Qin Nuo stood at the top of the fort, watching the group of people hurriedly leaving the villa below, like an arrow from the string, following the established track towards the capital.

Lin Jia walked fast with the criminals.

The moonlight was obscured by dark clouds floating from nowhere, and the sky was pitch black. In the middle of the night, the wind became colder and colder.

Can the truth be found smoothly? Is it really Qin Ze to deal with himself in this way?

Does he already know the secret of Concubine Ge Xian's death?

This feeling of living like years is like returning to the night when Emperor Jing Yao died. Numerous incidents happened one after another, and he was involuntarily involved in heavy mists, unable to see the way forward and direction.
