I [Imperial] Am Not This Kind of Man: 90. Theft
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters I am not such a man!
In the past, people often praised Qin Nuo for his good temper, but he didn't take it seriously. Now, he really feels that his temper is really good! Okay, you can become a Buddha!
Wang Ziping, who was kneeling in front of him, was trembling with his body, making him suspect that he would faint directly in the next second.
Well, the left hospital who was in charge of the research on the solution of the epidemic, judged that Mei Jing had fainted. The moment he saw the talisman locked in the closet was missing, he was now in the hospital.
If it is said that the leader of the golden clothes died strangely in the prison of the Ministry of Justice, it may be that the hidden spy Nan Chen was secretly making a ghost, in fact, the good show last night has also confirmed this speculation.
So what about this accident in the hospital?
"Is it also a Southern Dynasty spy who sneaked in?" Ge Changhai hesitated.
"Ha, if the Southern Dynasties had such great magical powers, the things that were closely guarded by the hospital could also be stolen without knowing it. One day it would be easy to sneak into the palace and steal my head. "Qin Nuo's voice calmly suppressed his anger.
The ministers standing below the steps were silent.
Fan Wensheng glanced at Ge Changhai. What kind of spy, Nan Chen, are you okay? Could this be the work of Nan Chen's spy?
The news of the missing talisman passed. Several leaders from the hospital, as well as the apprentices who were on duty that night, were called in. The story of the matter was quickly restored.
Since taking on the important task of studying the solution, everyone in the Taiyuan Hospital also knows that the responsibilities are arduous and they have been exhausted. After these days of hard work, great progress has been made, and the solution has already begun to figure out.
Just last night, Mei Jing and the others couldn't support it. They didn't stay up until midnight and walked earlier than usual.
There is not much talisman paper left for the research. This is the most precious material, so Mei Jing personally put it in the closet in the hall and locked it carefully.
There are people in the hall all night. Two imperial doctors on duty are checking the pulse records of previous years, and a few apprentices are sorting out medicinal materials.
However, the next morning, Mei Jing and others came to work and wanted to take out the talisman paper to continue studying, but found that the talisman paper in the closet was missing.
The closet is well locked, without any trace of movement. Many of the treasured medicinal materials and elixirs in it are intact, only the talisman paper is missing.
To be precise, it was not that it was gone, but it was turned into a stack of ordinary paper commonly used in palaces.
Mei Jing fainted on the spot, and the hospital suddenly fell into chaos. The guards patrolling this area rushed in, detained everyone, and searched the surroundings urgently, but found nothing.
At the same time, the message was sent to Yuqian urgently.
The early dynasty hadn't dissipated yet, Qin Nuo really felt that his eyes were dark. The dynasty meeting had been around the epidemic for the past few days. Now when he heard the bad news, the officials were stunned.
Huo Dong stepped forward and said solemnly: "This matter should be investigated and quickly investigated. In addition to the people on duty in the hospital, the guards of the palace guards who patrol are also duty-bound. Please be punished heavily."
Qin Nuo looked at him with a smile.
The guard in the palace was taken by the five guards of the Forbidden Army. The Tianshence Camp had just replaced the squad of the Pili Camp. It happened to be the direct line of Huo Donglai. Since the old man wanted to show his selflessness, Qin Nuo would not stop him either.
He is really hot! No matter who did this, he vowed that he would never take it lightly.
Fan Wensheng has a different opinion: "Of course these people should be punished, but it is better to postpone it. This matter is very important and will shake people's hearts. For the time being, it should not be easily spread."
In the end, from the commander of Jiapi to several officers in charge of the imprisonment, they were all fined for one year. The guards on duty around the hospital that night were all responsible.
Before the talisman paper is retrieved, the punishment will be sent temporarily, so as not to shake people's hearts.
In a short period of time, the inner court sent another news that the talisman was missing, and a new clue was found.
The officials of the Criminal Department rushed to the scene and carefully inspected the inside of the closet, and found that a wooden board was loose in the corner against the wall. With a light tap, a palm-sized piece of wood fell off.
Qin Nuo brought several important ministers to the hospital.
The imperial driver came, and the people who knelt on the ground were crushed by the imperial hospital.
With a "no gift", Qin Nuo hurried into the hall.
The closet where the accident occurred is on the side of the wall. It is made of hemlock. It is ancient and heavy. It has been seen for some years, and its appearance is glowing with copper.
Open it and look, the lower layer is a stack of pulse records, on which are placed some rare medicinal materials and alchemy, and the talisman paper is placed on the top layer.
In order to study the composition of talisman paper, these days, Tai Hospital has also collected a lot of ordinary talisman paper for comparison, and they are all placed here. Of course, the stack of the leader of the golden clothes was the most important. Early this morning, it was discovered that it had been replaced with the same ordinary rune paper as the one next to it.
Qin Nuo bypassed the closet and saw a hole on the left. The hole is not big, narrow and slender, just enough for a person to put his finger in and clip the talisman paper out.
After research and consumption by the Taiyuan Hospital, and Lin Jia played the role of a **** stick to give out medicinal materials last time, there is not much talisman left, and it is easy to take out and replace.
Tang Chen from the Criminal Ministry stepped forward and said, "The emperor, I have investigated in detail before. There were six people on duty in this hall in the Taiyuan Hospital last night, two medical officers, four apprentices, and someone from the palace who came here. There were three times. The first time was at the end of Chen Shi, when two young eunuchs fetched medicinal materials for rheumatic legs for Fulai Palace’s steward, and the second time was at the end of Chen Shi, the maid of the former sage concubine came to fetch medicinal materials for the treatment of headache..."
Former sage concubine? It was Qin Cong's Concubine Lin Xian, the woman who gave birth to an heir but died unfortunately.
Tang Chen paused and continued: "One more time, the guard Fang next to the emperor came to fetch medicinal materials for a leg injury." Fang Yuan suffered a bruise on his leg during the polo confrontation with Bei Shuo. Qin Nuo also knew.
There was some coldness in the hall, Qin Nuo raised his head and stared at Tang Chen.
Tang Chen stared at the ground honestly, nothing unusual.
"Can you send someone to ask?"
Hearing the emperor’s question, Tang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately returned: "Manpower has been arranged to go and interrogate the three of them, and their residences have been searched. It is only the guard Fang..."
Fang Yuan lives in Qianyuan Palace.
Qin Nuo didn't say much, and directly ordered: "Call Fang Yuan over."
Li Wan hurriedly went out of the hall. As one of the personal guards, Fang Yuan was outside the hospital. Hear the summons, enter immediately. Tang Chenyan finished the whole thing briefly and concisely.
Fang Yuan knelt down and replied: "The minister came here last night and left immediately after taking the medicine."
"I believe what you said. But to be safe, anyone who visited this temple last night will be searched closely."
Fang Yuan calmly said: "The ministers are all bestowed by the emperor, why can't you see people?"
"Well, let's start with the people next to me." Qin Nuo told Tang Chen, "I am anxious, and I must hear useful news before sunset today."
Tang Chen has both joys and worries. What is happy is that he did not expect the emperor to cooperate so much. What is worry is that this time limit is too short!
Fortunately, the emperor did not say anything to death. What is the useful news? It may not be required to find out, and being able to touch clues is also a great achievement.
The Criminal Department immediately arranged a manual search of the palace ban.
Qin Nuo also had no psychological policy, and returned to the Qianyuan Hall, walking around anxiously in the inner hall.
Two hours later, Tang Chen sent the results of the search and found nothing!
This is also expected, the talisman paper is thin and easy to hide, and the most troublesome thing is that if you are an unpredictable person, you can simply burn it after stealing it, and there is no trace of it.
Everyone in question was questioned again. The doctors and apprentices on duty that night did not have enough time to commit crimes, because the closet in the hospital was not made of ordinary wood, but made of millennium hemlock. It was harder than gold and iron. The Tai Hospital has always been used to store important materials and medicinal pills, and it has never been lost. It is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to dig a hole in it. Even a master of martial arts, with the help of sharp daggers, it takes a bit of hands and feet to complete.
Qin Nuo sits at the table, holding a memorial in his hand, loosening and tightening, repeating the cycle.
Huo Youjuan next to him understands his contradiction.
From any angle, Fang Yuan is the most likely one. Because of all the people who came into contact with that closet last night, he was the only one who knew martial arts, and he also had a dagger that cut iron and mud with him.
And this memorial...
After a long silence, Qin Nuo sighed and handed the memorial to Huo Youjuan.
In order to avoid suspicion of being involved in politics, Huo Youjuan would never take the initiative to read the memorial, and Qin Nuo did not want to put too much pressure on her. But now there are no outsiders in the hall, and the two will not stick to the rules.
Receiving the memorial, she glanced through the ten lines.
For a moment, he looked up complicatedly: "The emperor..."
This memorial was submitted by the Criminal Ministry, and it was a statement about the confession of detective Nan Chen who was arrested by the Criminal Ministry at the Jinyi Teaching Fa ceremonies last night.
The Ministry of Criminal Affairs is very efficient. The captured spies are held for interrogation in batches, and the confessions obtained are compared with each other. It is easy to distinguish the authenticity. According to the confession, they also attacked and searched a place where the Nanchen forces were here. A group of new spies were caught at the stronghold.
It was not these feats that surprised Huo Youjuan and embarrassed Qin Nuo, but a piece of information confessed by Detective Nan Chen under torture.
About their leader.
As old rivals, Nan Chen and Da Zhou have a complete spying system for each other.
In the early years, Nan Chen planted a lot of spies in the capital. But after these years of harsh searches, most of them have been wiped out. Coupled with the defeat of Nan Chen, lingering on. The latent power of Nan Chen in the capital was unable to succeed and was already greatly weakened.
More than three years ago, under the recourse of the Ministry of Justice, even their leaders were hunted down by the Forbidden Army and killed.
Until two years ago, the new leader reappeared, code-named Yaoguang.
Yaoguang, the last of the Big Dipper, also known as Pojun.
The spies who were captured this time, the leaders were all carrying secret poisons and medicines, and they committed suicide before they had time to torture. Those who tortured and confessed were all second- and third-rate characters, so the confessions to those behind the scenes were also Very vague.
I only know that this new leader is Nan Chen's most important chess piece lurking here. It is said that this person is noble in Nan Chen's status, concealing his identity and lurking here, just to recover the great cause. Handing over tasks and delivering messages are extremely concealed, and they have not appeared a few times in total.
But it can be judged that this person is not old, has extremely high martial arts, and is well informed about the Great Zhou court.
Huo Youjuan was speechless. From these brief descriptions, it seemed that Fang Yuan was very suspicious, and he could even match the time he appeared in the capital.
"The Xing Department really bothered." Qin Nuo curled his lips. He didn't waver, but after thinking about it, he would ascend to the throne, which was completely unexpected. If Fang Yuan was really a **** arranged by Nan Chen painstakingly, how could he come next to a king of Xian in the first place? Even with Qin Xun's side, he is more informed than himself!
Qin Nuo put the memorial to the side of the table.
It seems that I am going to stay in the middle of no post. Huo Youjuan thought for a while and asked: "But I can't hide this matter from the adults in the DPRK, I'm afraid there will be criticisms from the DPRK tomorrow."
"I will order Fang Yuan to be temporarily banned. As long as the talisman paper is retrieved as soon as possible, he will be innocent."
Huo Youjuan really wants to ask, what if you can't find it back?
If it was really done by Nan Chen's spy, regardless of whether Fang Yuan did it or not, I'm afraid that the first choice when he gets it is to destroy the talisman paper, which is almost invisible.
Looking at the dark circles of my sweetheart, I didn't ask any questions after all.
Qin Nuo is very annoyed. In his opinion, the most suspected crime this time is the person in the hospital. But in the eyes of outsiders, Fang Yuan is undoubtedly the biggest suspect. If he doesn't agree with the other party's torture trial, then he will not be justified enough to deal with other people.
Next to Li Wan he wanted to say something, but Qin Nuo noticed it, and raised his head and asked, "What's the matter?" With this expression.
Li Maru shook, his face tangled, "The emperor, there is a news, the minion... I really don't know whether to say it or not." The emperor is so busy, the reasoning shouldn't mess with him anymore, but this It doesn't seem like you should keep it secret.
"What?"
"It's the youngest son of Qin Han...infected with the disease and unfortunately passed away. The news just came in this afternoon." Li Wan whispered.
Qin Han is dead? That stupid kid, his own reading companion.
Because of being busy with the epidemic these days, Qin Nuo simply suspended the Yushuge course, and none of the companions entered the palace.
It seems to have heard before that Qin Han's grandmother was extremely afraid of the epidemic, so she simply stocked up enough food and supplies at home and closed the door, saying that she would not go out before the epidemic passed. This is also the choice of many wealthy households in Beijing.
I remember to hear this news, and I even teased a sentence or two.
"Isn't their family staying at home? How could this be?" Qin Nuo was incredulous, "Could it be that Qin Han was naughty and sneaked out?"
"No, I heard that Mrs. Guo Gong is extremely strict and no one goes out. I just don’t know why, there are people in the mansion who have been infected with the disease, and nearly half of the people in the mansion have died." As he said, Li Maru shivered, no wonder there are even rumors of haunting in the city now.
Huo Youjuan also looked solemnly, "I have also heard about this. Recently, many wealthy people have been infected with the disease, even if they are locked away, it is useless."
It's useless to close the door and lock the house. It stands to reason that the source of infection has been cut off, but it is impossible to avoid the infection?
No, the disease may not be transmitted through air droplets. Qin Nuo stood up abruptly. Even if the door is closed, one thing is inevitable. People must eat and drink water while they are alive.
Wealthy households closed their doors, food is available, but water sources may not be enough. Noble families like Qin Han had special wells in their courtyards.
Wells are groundwater, which circulate with each other...
A flash of lightning flashed through his mind, and Qin Nuo suddenly shouted, "Bring me the map of the capital!"
