Chapter 356: Investigation of the Water Diversion Case

"Bring me another bowl of wine." King Chen was obviously very interested, and it was still dusk at the moment, so he drank a little wine in front of the Qingfeng Empty Palace. One bowl was not enough, so I told the palace maid to bring one more bowl.

On a square wooden plate, a jade bowl is filled with amber liquor. The palace maid walked slowly towards King Chen, and at this time, a eunuch came in from outside the hall. With frosty white sideburns and plum blossoms in his hands, he is an old eunuch who has been serving King Chen.

The old eunuch's face was anxious, and he whispered: "Your Majesty, I want to see you outside the door." ”

King Chen was absent-minded, picked up the jade bowl that was newly placed on the table, and said, "I will announce him in." "It's also that he is in a good mood today, and in normal times, he tastes this kind of martial arts, and it is difficult to ascend to the sky without summoning him to see him.

In the temple, as soon as Yu came in, he bowed his head and bowed.

"The last general has tasted His Majesty King Chen."

"Get up, Your Majesty is tired from a lot of government affairs, and General Yu has something important to say quickly." The person who answered was the old eunuch, and King Chen was obsessed with the delicious food and wine on the table, and had no time to care about anything else.

Yu tasted the heart of the Tao is just using dinner, saying the things that must be honored.

"Your Majesty, the last general is really here this time. According to the last general's investigation today, the firearms manufacturing bureau outside the city has gone through the water, and now there is only a ruin left. ”

"What?" The jade bowl in King Chen's hand detached and slipped from his hand. I only heard a crisp sound, and jade pieces were everywhere. He asked in disbelief, "What you said, but is it true?" ”

"It's true, it's all what the last general saw with his own eyes."

Chen Wang's face was gloomy, and his good mood today was already due to the Firearms Production Bureau, and his tone was not good: "You can detect any abnormalities at the scene, even if it is a clue, you must thoroughly investigate it." It's not that simple, and it's most likely that someone did it on purpose. ”

"The last general doesn't see anything abnormal." After tasting it, he still said what he saw today, "It's just that nectar fell from the sky and after the flames were extinguished, I saw Chen Shangshu and his subordinates in the forest." ”

King Chen raised his eyebrows, as if he remembered something.

————————————

"Lord Shangshu, Your Majesty summons you."

Wearing silver armor and stepping on cowhide boots, looking at the outfits of the two, it is enough to guess the identity - King Chen's personal guard. The two stood respectfully in front of Chen Baichuan and said these words.

Chen Baichuan had only gotten up from the bed not long ago, and his face was still drowsy. He replied, "Let's go", and ordered Lin Jiu to send off the guests.

Soaked in cold water, Chen Baichuan became more and more sober as he washed his face. The more he was shocked, what happened not long ago, it was His Majesty's personal guards who came to summon him. Usually, this kind of errand work is usually done by the little eunuch, but today he actually used his personal guards, and I am afraid that he will encounter a big incident.

He hurriedly put on his robe and prepared to go out, not even wanting to eat breakfast.

King Chen saw that Chen Baichuan had come to the palace, and seeing that he was not in good clothes, he was afraid that he would come in a hurry when he heard his edict. The little doubt in his heart vanished. Chen Wang said: "Ai Qing knows what happened outside Chen Du yesterday? ”

Chen Baichuan suddenly understood, it turned out that he was talking about yesterday's firearms bureau going out of the water. It is impossible for Chen Wang to be without eyeliner anywhere in Chen Capital, Chen Baichuan believes that he already knows that he is there, so it is better to tell the truth.

Chen Baichuan said: "The last general knows that a fire broke out in the Firearms Bureau Production Bureau yesterday, and the buildings fell short and all of them were in ruins. ”

"Do you know why the fire started?"

Chen Baichuan said truthfully: "The minister suspects that it is artificial. ”

"Oh?"

"The Firearms Bureau has the rules and regulations that I left back then, as long as the craftsmen follow the rules, even if they sometimes miss, they don't know what they will end up with. The minister had to suspect that it was made by Qingguo's hidden spies in Chen Guo. ”

Chen Wang looked like he 'suddenly realized', "What Aiqing said is really reasonable, then you will investigate this matter thoroughly?" ”

"The minister commands."

Chen Baichuan didn't know why King Chen put this burden on him, but the military order was difficult, and he followed King Chen's words.

Back in Chen's mansion, Chen Baichuan was at a loss in the bedroom, and his entire mind was confused. There was no one alive in this case, although there were corpses in the dead, but they were burned beyond recognition by the fire, and it was impossible to rely on the case.

At this time, Lin Jiu whispered in his ear: "There is a general named Yu Wei outside the door who asked to see him, and he said that the adults will definitely see him." ”

Chen Baichuan remembered Yu Wei, shook his head lightly, and then ordered Lin Jiu to welcome this person in.

Yu Wei acted like a reckless hero, and he was still half of his body before he entered the door, and he had already finished saying greetings. He said: "The last general thought that Chen Shangshu would not reward me with this thin face. ”

The two of them did have an unpleasant quarrel yesterday, and Chen Baichuan may have to use his army now, so naturally he can't offend him. Chen Baichuan seemed to be a friend of Yu Wei who had been absent for many years, patted Yu Yan on the shoulder enthusiastically, and said, "General Yu is a distinguished guest, and he doesn't serve tea." ”

The maidservant quickly brought the teacup, and the two of them returned to their respective positions.

"Why did General Yu petition today, as long as the official is within his ability, he will definitely lend a hand?"

I didn't expect Yu Wei to be a bastard at all, so he said directly: "Why is Lord Chen so fake, you and I only met because of the water incident." ”

What Chen Baichuan is most afraid of encountering is this, not following the rules. Chen Baichuan had no choice but to get straight to the point and said:

"Well, since Master Cao is a cheerful person, then I won't hide it. I hope to borrow my lord's soldiers and horses to help me solve this case. ”

Yu Wei said: "Just wait for this sentence." ”

。

The afternoon sun was much brighter than this morning. On the skin on the back of the hand, there was still a little burning, of course, it was still not as hot as midsummer. Chen Baichuan led a team of people to shuttle through the forest, and not long after, he encountered a few uninvited guests hiding in the bushes. When they realized that their location was exposed, they fled.

What is the origin of this group?

Chen Baichuan didn't think much about it, he had more important things to do - Yu Yan had already sent his soldiers to hunt down the uninvited guests.

"Well, this is it."

Yu Wei pointed to a piece of ruins and said with a big grin.

Lin Jiu saw that he had an improper attitude towards Chen Baichuan, and couldn't help but mock: "This place was found by my little master alone, so why don't you need your way." ”

Yu Yan smiled and replied to Lin Jiu's words: "You little servant is loyal, I am just afraid that the current Firearms Bureau has been burned to ruins, and your master will not recognize it at once." ”

Lin Jiu snorted coldly and ignored it. You must know that no matter how bad the person in front of you is, he is also a general, not a little servant of the general's mansion that he can compare. However, Lin Jiu believed that one day he would be able to win through his exploits.

Yu Yan no longer teased Lin Jiu, and carefully examined the various places on the ruins, so that the murderer could be discovered.
