Xie Yang smiled and leaned over to take out the contents of the food box.

After setting the meal, the two sat down and ate silently.

After a while, the sword-eyed man stopped and hummed softly, "Ziqing, I think something is wrong, are you okay?"

Xie Yang raised his eyes to look at him, the sword-eyed man's face was abnormally flushed, and sweat was already oozing from his forehead, but he didn't have anything unusual.

This table is full of things, Xie Yang only has the soup that he hasn't touched, "Is there a problem with the soup?"

"I don't think it's poison. The man with the sword eyebrows stood up suddenly, and the tent had already been set up under his crotch, "I'll go home first, please help me sort out the pile of files! 100,000 is urgent, I can't refuse, this is your favorite three-fresh soup, it must be caused by your beauty!"

With that, he picked up his robe and hurried away.

Xie Yang watched him leave, had no intention of eating any more, frowned and sat for a while before getting up and taking all the files on his desk.

A peaceful night.

The next morning, when there were people on Suzaku Street, there was an uproar, because there was a man in disheveled clothes lying on the street, and someone went to wake him up, but found that the man was stiff.

……

Inspectorate of Inspection.

Cui Ning went to the book office first, and then went directly to Wei Qian.

When she entered the house, she heard several supervision divisions gathered together and said lively, as if they were saying "dead people in Dali Temple", and Wei Qian sat in his position and drank tea with a calm expression.

"Fifth brother. Cui Ning glanced at the group of people, and asked Wei Qian, "What happened to Dali Temple?"

Wei Qian held the teacup, leaned back in his chair, and raised his eyes to look at her, "An official of Dali Temple died on Suzaku Street last night. ”

"Murder?" Cui Ning said in surprise, "It's too bold to stretch out your hand to Dali Temple." ”

Dali Temple is a well-known master of many torturers, who is impatient?

"It's still investigating, it's not necessarily a homicide. Wei Qian finished drinking tea, got up and said, "Let's go, there are a lot of things going on today." ”

Cui Ning followed him out and went to the Heavenly Prison together.

Along with them there were many errands.

When he arrived at the Heavenly Prison, Wei Qian asked people to check the drainage channel below.

These passages were only meant to prevent rainwater from accumulating, but a servant climbed in and returned after a while, "My lord, the entrance is blocked. ”

"Ask a few people to go to the other entrances to check and see the blockage. Wei Qian said.

More than a dozen messengers scattered, found the entrance in the place Wei Qian pointed out, and began to check.

Moments later, they all came back with the result that all but the drain leading north to the river was not blocked, and it didn't seem to be a recent one.

"I know!" Cui Ning's eyes lit up, "The murderer blocked most of the drains, and after the rainwater enters the stargazing platform, it cannot be discharged in time, and it will soak into the stargazing tower, and the soil will gradually loosen." ”

"Not bad. Wei Qian said approvingly.

Cui Ning looked up at the towering stargazing tower, "But where is it loose?"

"Let's go to the south. Wei Qian said.

The two walked to the south wall of the stargazing tower.

Cui Ning felt that the terrain here was a little uneven, and it was obviously much easier when she walked south, and the grass and trees around this stargazing tower were verdant and lush, she looked back and looked carefully, and said in surprise, "Hey, this is the back of a carp!"

"Carp back?" Wei Qian glanced back.

"You can see that the terrain of the entire Heavenly Prison is slightly arched, showing a gentle slope that is not very obvious, and the surrounding area is open, and if you don't look closely, you won't even find that this place is higher than the others. In terms of feng shui, this is called the back of a carp, and the fish leaps over the dragon gate and turns into a dragon, and this kind of place sometimes becomes a small dragon vein with some changes. Cui Ning suddenly thought of those drainage channels again, "If they are destroyed, they may also become a fierce place." ”

This would explain why there is no drainage channel in the Ministry of Works' construction drawings. Wei Qian saw that she was good at discovery, her mind was flexible, and she was willing to tell her what she thought, "I went to Zuofu again this morning, and Lord Zuo told me that there are not many people who know that there are these drainage channels, and there are no Hun Tianjian." However, it is unlikely that someone from the Ministry of Industry came to the Hun Tian Prison to kill people and dismember the body, and I still suspect that the murderer is in the Hun Tian Prison, and must be someone who has been in the Hun Tian Prison for many years. ”

If you stay here all year round, it is not difficult to find that there is a drainage channel under the stargazing building.

"Here. Wei Qian saw that one crack in the wall was wider than the others, and said to the officer, "Pry it open." ”

The two officers stepped forward and used their hoes to pry, they thought it would take a lot of force, but as soon as they exerted their strength, the stone fell, and the officer staggered back a few steps.

The other officer simply put down his hoe and tried it with his hands, and soon removed a few large rocks, revealing a large black hole.

"Your Excellency, would you like to go in and have a look?" asked the officer.

Wei Qian had already unbuttoned his official robe, revealing the strength suit inside, "I'll go in." ”

He threw the official robe to Cui Ning, took out a piece of dark cloth to cover his head, put on sheepskin gloves, and raised his long legs neatly into the hole.

Cui Ning thought of those voices, hugged her clothes and hurriedly approached the entrance of the cave, took out a small bag from her arms and stuffed it into his hand, and advised, "Fifth brother, there may be snakes and rats in it, you must be careful!"

After waiting for a while, she heard Wei Qian hum.

This hole leads to the drainage channel, perhaps to facilitate dredging, the Yongdao can accommodate a person to pass guò, and there is a protruding place on the stone wall, but Wei Qian is tall, his arms are almost squeezed on the stone wall, and his hands cannot be stretched freely at all, and the wall is vertical, and there is moss on the stone, so it is very difficult to climb up with the stone wall.

There was hardly any light inside, and Wei Qian was crawling to see if there were any holes in the surrounding walls, and when he reached the position of four or five zhang, he was already sweating profusely.

He rested in place for a while, when he suddenly heard a "hissing" sound from above, and when he looked up, he could vaguely see a snake coiled on a stone pedal a foot above his head.

Wei Qian held his breath, reached out violently and pinched the snake's seven inches with lightning speed, strangled it to death with a little force, and then threw it down the side of his leg, he knew that it was not far from his destination.

Sure enough, two feet up, I saw a cave, from which there was a strong rancid smell and various "hissing" sounds, which sounded like there were a lot of snakes, and I couldn't see what kind of snake it was, and I didn't know if it was poisonous or not.

He was hesitating to retreat, when he suddenly remembered the bag that Cui Ning had given him, he stuffed it into his arms, and when he lowered his head slightly, he could still smell the strong smell of medicinal herbs mixed with sulfur.

Wei Qian took out the sachet, scattered the medicine inside, and sprinkled it into the hole.

There was silence for a moment, and there was a faint sound.

Those snakes smelled the scent and began to duck. R1152
