Chapter 137: Suspicions

It's over, it's all over!

Gu Jialuo was dressed in a black night coat and prostrate on the top of a mountain not far from Princess Peak. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info She looked straight at the fire-lit princess peak, and the mountains and rocks were flying wildly, looking a little stunned, muttering to herself.

Qi Jinzhi was lying beside her, also dressed in night clothes, and looking at the collapsed Princess Peak with the same burning eyes. His fingers lightly gestured over the rocks beside him, silently counting the sound of the explosion.

During the day, Qi Jinzhi led the Qi family guards to bury thousands of catties of gunpowder under Princess Peak, and a total of twelve explosion points were set up.

Like a huge amount of gunpowder, such a dense explosion point is enough to raze the entire Princess Peak to the ground.

After nightfall, Qi Jinzhi ordered the Qi family guards to ignite all twelve explosion points one by one, and then quickly ran to the barren mountain more than ten miles away to take refuge.

The power of the Qi family's gunpowder really deserved its name, and several loud noises broke out one after another, like a thunderbolt erupting, and the mountain body of Princess Peak began to break and collapse, and the flying rocks rolled down into the deep valley on the side.

One, two, three...... 7.8...... Twelve!

The twelve explosion points exploded smoothly one after another, and the Gongzhu Peak, which had stood on the outskirts of Beijing for hundreds of years, has since become history.

And the Iron Threshold Nunnery on the Princess Peak, and the meditation in the Iron Threshold Nunnery all turned into dust, and one by one they were sprinkled on the barren mountains and wilderness.

The deepest and most painful memories in Gu Jialuo's heart were also completely wiped out.

After Qi Jinzhi made sure that all the explosion points were ignited, he raised his upper body and patted his wife's shoulder, "Ah Luo, let's go!" ”

Gu Jialuo suddenly came back to his senses and found that his cheeks were cold. She reached out and touched it, only to realize that she had unconsciously cried.

Gu Jialuo realized that in the past four or five years, she had not remembered the days she had been fasting, not because she had forgotten, but because the experience was too painful, and she subconsciously chose to escape.

Think about it, anyone who opens their eyes and finds themselves lying in a dark, silent stone room will also feel fear. The most terrifying thing is that her good body was occupied by a soul from another world, and she did many wrong things under her name and identity of Gu Jialuo.

In the end, he tossed 'Gu Jialuo' into the Iron Threshold Nunnery, and fell into a desperate situation of being imprisoned for the rest of his life!

It's such a big pit, but Gu Jialuo has to grit his teeth and admit it.

Four or five years later, Gu Jialuo can still vividly recall the shock, ecstasy, fear and despair when he first woke up.

In order to escape from the meditation of the 'mad man', in order to escape from the Iron Threshold Nunnery, Gu Jialuo tried his best to restrain his fear of darkness and unknown dangers, and desperately thought of a way.

She even did not hesitate to harm herself, went on a hunger strike, and threatened the owner of the nunnery to comply.

…… Looking back on the past, Gu Jialuo was not only full of emotion, it turned out that she had such a difficult time, and it turned out that she had been so difficult.

In the past few years, although there have been occasional accidents and dangers, overall, Gu Jialuo has had a very good life.

Sometimes she even gets a little carried away because of the smooth life of life.

Witnessing the Iron Threshold Nunnery turn into dust today, Gu Jialuo's heart couldn't tell what it was like.

Extrication? Relieved? Or is it hard to settle?

Gu Jialuo can't be sure, but she can be sure of one thing, that is, from now on, the nightmare of Tieji'an will be a thing of the past, and she, Gu Jialuo, will completely get rid of the shadow of the past and start a new life with her family!

"Okay, let's go!"

Gugaro stood up and patted the dust and grass clippings off his clothes. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse that Qi Jinzhi was still dirty in front of him, and helped him slap it a few times.

Qi Jinzhi stood still, smiling and letting Gu Jialuo tidy it up for him. When he raised his eyes and saw a few sticks of withered grass on Gu Jialuo's sideburns, he gently helped her take them off!

The husband and wife helped each other, cleaned up their appearance, and then went down the mountain hand in hand.

The moment Qi Jinzhi turned around, he glanced at the guard beside him.

Because Qi Dayong and Liu Hu were both sent to Annan by Gu Jialuo, and now Qi Jinzhi is followed by Qi Dayong's younger brother Qi Dabiao.

Like Qi Dayong, Qi Dabiao is also a brave and resourceful talent.

Although he has not been following Qi Jinzhi for a long time, he can understand Qi Jinzhi's thoughts very well.

Nodding at Qi Jinzhi, he quietly disappeared into the night with a team of ten men.

Princess Peak was bombed, and it stands to reason that the people and animals on Princess Peak will not escape the disaster.

However, there are no absolutes in the world, and for the sake of insurance, it is better to send someone to check it out.

By the way, leave some 'evidence' as well.

The 'military' gave Qi Jinzhi such a big gift, Qi Jinzhi is a person who understands etiquette, and there is no reason not to give others a 'surprise'.

"Hmph, what a Xiao Gang, he can actually use demagogic magic!"

Thinking that day in Happy Villa, he almost fell into Xiao Gang's way, and a chill flashed in Qi Jinzhi's eyes.

He has written down this account carefully, and he will pay it back twice as much in the future!

……

Shocking news, Princess Peak in the suburbs of Beijing was razed to the ground overnight!

The people of the capital who heard the news all widened their eyes, and they looked incredulous.

It's not that the people of the capital are making a fuss and haven't seen the world, let alone hearing that this phenomenon beyond nature will be pushed to ghosts and gods. Gunpowder is such a thing, and the well-informed people in the capital have known it for a long time.

Not to mention, just a few months ago, there was an incident in which a house was blown up in the city.

Houses can be blown into ruins, mountains or something, it should be able to be blown up. Just add more gunpowder.

The people of the capital were surprised that the princess summit was blown up, they were shocked that at the foot of the sky, on the outskirts of the imperial city, someone dared to blow up a mountain recklessly.

If they can blow up the mountain today, will they dare to blow up the gate of the capital tomorrow with a powder keg, and then they will be able to go to the palace to bury explosives?

Just thinking about it makes me feel scared!

The capital is the political center of the Great Qi Empire, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the safest place in the world. Whenever there is a disaster or turmoil, the people who are forced to leave their homes will move in the direction of the capital.

If nothing else, it is for the capital's vital and unique status, and sense of security!

But now, someone has told everyone that the capital is not safe, and there is a high possibility of a devastating explosion!

Do you say that the people of the capital are shocked? Scared or not?!

In fact, not only the people were shocked and frightened, but also the adults in the court, and even the saints in the palace, were also shocked by this news.

"What's going on? Good princess peak, how can you say that it was blown up when it was bombed? Who is it? Which lawless guy dares to make waves on the edge of the capital? ”

The saint's face was pale, and he sent a fire at the court meeting, and the bitter Shuntianfu and Wucheng Soldiers and Horses were once again pulled out to be held accountable.

The two chief officers were covered in cold sweat, and the villain in their hearts had already fainted in the latrine, and they also wanted to know whose hand was moving. But the problem is, they don't know wow!

The two of them were as white as paper, prostrate on the ground, their foreheads pressed heavily against the terrazzo floor, and let the saint scold them as dogs!

In the end, he was forced to sign a military order to 'solve the case within seven days', and walked out of the hall with shaking legs.

After the sage scolded the Shuntian Mansion and the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses, he found out several elders of the cabinet and the governor of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, reprimanded them sharply, and ordered them to deal with the matter as soon as possible.

Other officials who had nothing to do with the yamen did not escape, and the sage scolded almost half of the courtiers in the court.

Rubbish!

Idiot!

The incompetent people of the corpse vegetarian meal!

Anyway, looking at the entire Great Qi court, there are few capable people.

The saint sprayed saliva on the court for an hour, until his mouth was dry and exhausted, and then he flicked his sleeves and walked away.

When he came to the imperial study, the sage quickly summoned Zhao Gengxuan into the palace.

After pouring a few cups of tea in succession, the sage hoarsely voiced, "Say, what's going on with Princess Peak?" ”

Zhao Geng's face was very bad, and his eyes were bruised, showing that he hadn't rested well for several days.

Also, recently he has been busy investigating Xiao Daozong and his 'military', and he hasn't closed his eyes for five days and five nights.

Yesterday, there was a breakthrough in the case, Zhao Geng wanted to go home for a night's rest, just returned home, before he had eaten two bites, there was a sound of the earth shaking outside, and the roof tiles were crackled and several pieces were shaken off.

Zhao Geng was shocked, lest there was an accident in the capital.

A few months ago, his stake was blown up, and the case remains unsolved, and now if there is another explosion in the city. With the saint, he must not be able to explain it.

The most important thing is that in case something happens to the Imperial City...... Zhao Geng shook his head vigorously, not daring to think about this possibility.

Throwing down the rice bowl, picking up the embroidered spring knife, and gathering all the guards and family members in the family, Zhao Geng led the team to go straight to the direction of the sound.

Lucky! Lucky!

It wasn't the city that had the accident, let alone the imperial city.

Zhao Geng came to the closed city gate, ordered someone to call the soldiers guarding the city, and opened the city gate with the waist card of the commander of the brocade guard on his waist.

At that time, the loud bang had ended, but the sky-high fire was still dazzling.

Zhao Geng and the others rode horses and chased the firelight until they came to the vicinity of Princess Peak.

After determining that the location of the accident was Gongzhufeng, Zhao Geng's face suddenly became ugly - in Gongzhufeng's meditation fast, twenty brocade guards were guarding confidential criminals.

Now that the mountain has collapsed, wouldn't those Jinyi guards and Qi Yao clan be-

Zhao Geng hurriedly ordered his subordinates, and the group turned over the saddle and dismounted, and quickly ran towards the collapsed ruins.

Not surprisingly, Zhao Geng found one or two of his men who had been smashed to pieces in a pile of rubble.

The others couldn't even find their bones.

As for Qi Yao's clan, Zhao Geng stood in front of the valley that was almost filled, looking at the tragic scene, he was very sure that Qi Yao's clan had no chance of survival!

Alas, there are still many secrets on Qi Yao's body that have not been dug up! Especially those magical pills, the saint still wanted to get the magic medicine of longevity and longevity from Qi Yao's family.

As a result, it was all ruined!

Zhao Geng was shocked, angry and anxious, and immediately ordered someone to search on the spot.

The fire in the mountains has not yet been extinguished, and it has been about an hour and a half since the explosion, and perhaps there are still clues left at the scene.

Thirty or forty guards and family members searched the ruins of Princess Peak in a carpet manner, and until the dawn of day, they still did not find any valuable clues.

After a busy night, but with nothing, Zhao Geng's depression can be imagined.

However, when he faced the saint, all that was left was worry and fear.

The saint has turned away from wrath!

Zhao Geng has been with the saint for most of his life, and he has rarely seen him so out of control.

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Zhao Geng cautiously replied: "Back to Your Majesty, Princess Peak has turned into ruins, and the twenty brocade guards and prisoners are all dead. Weichen ordered someone to search carefully, and the scene was handled very cleanly, leaving no clues at all. Only one thing is certain, the thieves used at least 1,000 pounds of explosives. And the power of the explosives is very great-"

"Nonsense! Can you blow a mountain flat, can you do it with less gunpowder? ”

The saint was impatient to listen to these useless things, and once again tore his throat and shouted, "What I want to know is who blew up Princess Peak. Why did he do it? In addition to the fact that Princess Peak once had an iron threshold hermitage, is there any other more valuable secret? It makes people so crazy and commits such a horrific crime in the suburbs of Beijing?! ”

The last thing a saint can endure is when someone or something is out of his control!

I can't tolerate unknown dangers lurking around me!

Zhao Geng lowered his head, he didn't know any of these questions. How can he answer?

Besides, the saint is angry, no matter what he says, as long as it is not the real answer, the saint will be angry!

Since everything he said was wrong, he simply didn't say it.

What Zhao Geng didn't expect was that if he didn't say anything, he would still attract the wrath of the saint!

Boom!

A tea bowl was thrown in front of Zhao Geng, the porcelain was shattered, and the tea flowed all over the ground.

"Waste, it's all useless waste."

The saint slapped the imperial case vigorously and shouted hysterically: "I give you three days, and I must find out about this matter." ”

Three days?

Zhao Geng was full of bitterness, but he could only respond hard.

In fact, this matter is not completely useless.

Looking at the entire capital, it is impossible for ordinary people to use so much gunpowder.

Even those nobles and families didn't use such a big hand.

Gunpowder is not an ordinary object, and it is not something that can be bought with money. Except for a very small number of families.

For example, Qi family!

Out of the imperial city, the first thing Zhao Geng did was to summon the Jinyi guard, who was in charge of monitoring the Qi family, and carefully inquired about the Qi family's movements.

To Zhao Geng's disappointment, after asking for a long time, there was no useful news at all.

The only thing that caught his attention was one thing that his subordinates replied casually, "...... Qi Jinzhi went to the Happy Villa in the west of the city as usual, and fooled around in it for a long time before returning to the city satisfied. ”

"Wait, you mean that Qi Jinzhi often goes to Happy Villa? Are you sure it's Jolly Hills? That gold cave in the valley west of the city? ”

It was not the first time Zhao Geng had heard of the name of Happy Villa, but when he investigated Xiao Daozong recently, he accidentally found that Xiao Daozong's son seemed to have partnered with a businessman to open a villa, which was called Happy Villa.

Moreover, there is also evidence that Happy Hills seems to have something to do with the 'military'. Many middle- and low-level generals and retired soldiers in the capital are more or less involved in this place.

Jin Yiwei, who replied, hurriedly said, "That's right, that's the place." Since Qi Jinzhi came back from Luoyang, he has often gone to that place, and sometimes he will spend the night there! ”

Zhao Geng fell into deep thought, could it be that Qi Jinzhi is also a member of the 'military'? Or is it that the Qi family has already joined the 'military'?!
