Chapter 182: Enemy, Who Is It?
Ying Chang's death seemed to the First Emperor to be far less uneventful than it seemed on the surface. There is no love without a reason in this world, and there is no hate without a reason. Winning often to this day seems to have something to do with being born in the royal family. Among the thirty-three children of the first emperor, he often won and belonged to the kind of high and low. said that he couldn't compare to Fusu, he couldn't compare to Yingyue in martial arts, and even among the children who couldn't do martial arts, there was also a Hu Hai who steadily pressed him.
Daqin's court has been turbulent in recent days, and there are too many officials involved in the Win Chang case. The Hanging Mirror Division is either arresting people every day, or on the way to arresting people. Nowadays, the four-person single room of the Hanging Mirror Division has become an eight-person single room.
"Zhao Que, Zhao Dudu, these people please let me go first." In the Hanging Mirror Division, Meng Yi, the secretary of the ministry, handed a list to Zhao Que and said.
Zhao Que, this kid, has invited one-third of the people in the entire court to the Hanging Mirror Division these days. Now Daqin even has problems with its operations on weekdays, no, Meng Yi led the people of the Ministry of Officials to work overtime, and finally screened out some officials who were not deeply involved in the case, and these officials just beat the side drum and did not actually participate in the case. Daqin also needs these officials to do things, and the punishment of the officials for this group of people is only to punish some money.
"Master Hou, farewell." Meng Yi took out the people on the list from Zhao Que's hand, arched his hand at Li Chen and said.
Although these people have been released, from today onwards, they will probably be deterred by the hanging mirror. The Hanging Mirror Division has really become a sword hanging over the heads of Great Qin officials, and when these officials want to bend the law for personal gain, the first thing they think of is whether their heads can withstand this sharp sword.
"Master Hou, things are a little difficult to do?" After Meng Yi left, Zhao Que said with a sad face.
Li Chen knew that Zhao Que was talking about the new letter left by Ying Chang after his death, "the copper mine was lost" This is a great event, and it stands to reason that if you find Ying Chang, you should be able to find the copper mine. As the saying goes, people are about to die, and their words are also good. Since Ying Chang said before he died that the copper mine was lost, he should not be able to fake.
So far, Ying Chang is dead, the Wang family has been arrested, and Daqin has also checked internally, but these copper mines have evaporated from the world, and there is no trace to be found.
"Continue to investigate, I always feel that these copper mines are flowing outside, and something big will happen sooner or later." Thinking of these copper mines, Li Chen felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart.
This is a bronze mine of an entire mine, and according to the estimation of the Ministry of Industry, if you build weapons with armor and armor, you can arm 50,000 elite soldiers. In the era of Great Qin, when armor was forbidden and swords were forbidden, 50,000 swords might be nothing, but 50,000 sets of armor could already cause a lot of chaos to Great Qin.
"Master Hou, I always feel that winning Chang's rebellion seems a little illogical, do you think he only has a guard team of less than 100 people. Even with these weapons and armor that can arm 50,000 people, what can they do? And this Liji is just favored by virtue of her youth and beauty, and the power of her mother clan is not large, so she has no ability to gather and train soldiers. Zhao Que said.
"So, there must be something we're missing." Li Chen said.
Li Chen knew what these copper mines meant to Great Qin, and now if the people of Great Qin lived and worked in peace and contentment, even if these copper mines were cast into weapons, they would only be able to add some chaos to Great Qin. But if one day Great Qin is in chaos, these weapons will become deadly existences. Think about Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, who cut wood as soldiers and folded grass into swords in their previous lives, and Liu Bang, who rebelled with hoes and sickles, if these bronzes were cast into weapons and armor and fell into their hands, what a disaster it would be.
This case is like a nesting doll, you open one floor only to find that there is another layer underneath, and you can never guess how many layers there are. If you want to know, you can only open all the nesting dolls layer by layer.
"Master Hou, Du Du, dead, dead." Just as the two were chatting, the people from the Hanging Mirror Division hurriedly ran away and said breathlessly.
"What died, who died." Li Chen hurriedly asked.
"The head of the Wang family and Jiang Langzhong of the Criminal Department." The people of the Hanging Mirror Division reported.
Zhao Que and Li Chen hurried to the prison of the Hanging Mirror Division, if the two were killed in the prison of the Hanging Mirror Division, then the matter would be a big deal. If someone is really able to kill people in the yamen of the Hanging Mirror Division, what does this mean, this shows that the Hanging Mirror Division is also a broken gong that leaks everywhere.
"Master Hou, the people on duty today are all here, the scene has been blocked, no one enters or leaves." As soon as he stopped, someone said.
"But who was the first to find out when someone was released to visit the prison?" Zhao Que asked viciously. The two have been in prison for a few days, and the meals in the prison are uniformly distributed on weekdays. If it was poison, it wouldn't have been the two of them. The only explanation is that the two were poisoned when someone visited the prison.
"Dare to release people to visit the prison there, this is the Hanging Mirror Division, not the Criminal Department. It was found in the morning when they were cleaning up the feces, and the two of them ran out of gas in the morning. The cell boss hurriedly explained.
No one came to visit the prison, but the two of them were out of breath for no reason, maybe they were still some gods and demons.
Zhao Que's eyes leaked, and he glanced at the people present, since no outsiders came in, the only possibility was that there were "ghosts." ”
The prison of the Hanging Mirror Division is different from the Criminal Department, and the prisoners here are all important criminals in major cases, or it is inconvenient for some corrupt officials and corrupt officials. The prison of the Criminal Department has some connections, and even some money can be paid off by the jailers on duty. This prison of the Hanging Mirror Division is different, without His Majesty's order here, it is not easy for anyone to come.
"Master Hou, why don't you take a look at the autopsy?"
"Dead people don't lie." At this time, Qin Ming had already dared to come. Hearing the scene of Zhao Que's questioning, he felt that instead of asking these living people, it was better to ask these two dead people. The more people he meets, he tends to be more willing to believe in corpses.
"Okay, autopsy." Li Chen said.
The place of the autopsy was in the prison of the Hanging Mirror Division. Until the matter is clarified, all the people can't leave.
The bodies were placed on straw mats, and the two men were pale, presumably dead in the night.
"Zila." The sound of a long knife cutting open the abdominal cavity. Qin Ming cut Jiang Wei's abdomen, and then Qin Ming pulled his hand towards the corpse's abdomen.
"Dig back, find the stomach, find the stomach. Can't see, can't see. ”
", what about the stomach."
That's right, Qin Ming's target is the stomach, no matter what kind of poison it is, it must be digested by the stomach, so there will inevitably be residues of poison in the stomach pouch.
"You call this thing a stomach." Li Chen watched as Qin Ming's hand shrunk into a ball, black thing. I read a lot, don't try to lie to me. Although I really haven't seen it, there are a lot of pictures of the stomach that can be seen. This thing doesn't look like a stomach no matter how you look at it, and it's not the right color or shape.
"Tick, tick." This black thing is dripping with a liquid like black glutinous rice juice.
"Master Hou, it is a chronic poison that acts directly on the stomach, and the stomach will constrict every time you eat a meal. When the stomach becomes like this, the person dies. ”
"It should have been poisoned before they came in, and on the day they came to the prison, they were afraid that they would eat one meal and lose one meal." Qin Ming said with a frown.
These two people obviously know more about the secrets, but now with the death of the two, the clues have all been broken. Who is behind the scenes, this feeling of being controlled everywhere is really uncomfortable.
The enemy, who the hell is it.
