From the mountains, the hidden cave was excavated, and then a long underground tunnel was created, from which he entered a natural underground cave, and then entered the cave into the mine.

There are both the wonders of nature and the ingenuity of man. Along the way, Sun Xingzhi's face has not been very good. Lu Sheng didn't ask, so Sun Xingzhi directly explained first.

"Uncle Ling betrayed his master, and he was a widow and a snake, I always thought that he had been poisoned recently. But looking at this, it is absolutely impossible to be so silent without the help of our Tuyin Sect......"

In fact, even if Sun Xingzhi didn't say it, Lu Sheng would be able to guess it.

With such an ingenious underground fortification, it is really difficult for non-Tuyin Sect disciples to build it.

It's a pity that Lu Sheng and the others are still a step late. Some star-striped iron ore can still be found in the underground mines, but no one has mined it anymore.

Perhaps, when Lu Sheng appeared in Jiangbei Province, these had already been forced to transfer. The star-striped divine weapon is not a trivial matter, the imperial court attaches great importance to it, and the forces behind the scenes attach more importance to it.

A star-striped divine weapon is worth a fortune, and it is absolutely impossible for the mastermind behind the scenes to take risks at this cusp for short-term interests. If he is replaced by Lu Sheng, he will definitely move and stop working immediately when he notices an abnormality.

It's so hidden, and it's stopped. It stands to reason that the chances of Lu Sheng being able to find it are very small. But the mastermind behind the scenes must not have thought that there would be a variable of Qin Hainian.

With such a breakthrough this time, Lu Sheng had to admit that it was completely by luck. But even luck is enough for Lu Sheng to make a great achievement.

It was determined that there was a star-patterned iron mine in Tongnan Mansion, and Shen Ling immediately passed the news to the headquarters without hesitation.

The significance of this news is extraordinary, the first is that the star-striped iron ore that has been depleted by the day has finally been replenished, and the second is that Lu Sheng's previous investigation is completely in the right direction.

The Hundred Nations obtained the Starstriped Divine Soldier and purchased it from the Wa Kingdom, and the main tone of the court, including the military department, was that the Wakou had mastered the forging method of the Starstriped Divine Soldier. Only a small number of people conclude that the outflow of the star-striped divine soldiers must be in Dayu.

It was precisely because of this conclusion that Lu Sheng was sent to Jiangbei Province. This is the only place that has been involved with the Japanese state in the recent past. Now that the secretly mined star-striped iron ore has appeared, everything is a certainty.

There are many follow-up questions, although Lu Sheng has always known how the forging method of the Star Striped Divine Weapon was leaked, but how was it leaked? Who was the mastermind? Who was the cover from top to bottom? This kind of thing needs to be investigated in cooperation between the capital and the local government.

After a night of thunderstorms, it was finally the hottest time of the year.

Since someone is secretly mining a mine, there must be miners, right? If there is a production of Starstripe Divine Weapons, then there must be a workshop, right? Even if you can't find a workshop, you should be able to find clues in transportation, right?

But alas, none of these are available. Lu Sheng did not hesitate to post a huge reward, offering a reward for people who knew about the iron ore and a series of clues to forge the star-striped divine weapon to come to report the case.

For five days in a row, although there were always some people who couldn't resist the temptation of offering a bounty to come and claim it, when they asked, they were not in the right mouth.

Lu Sheng once again admired the tight sealing of the mastermind behind the scenes! At least, if he can hide an industrial chain so cleanly, Lu Sheng can't admire it.

knew that it might have something to do with the one in the palace, but this was not something Lu Sheng could consider. How can it be related, and how closely related? Lu Sheng needs to come up with effective evidence.

did not wait for the people to tell the information, but waited for the emperor's commendation. Discovered the Star Striped Divine Soldier, plus Lu Sheng's accumulated exploits before. Lu Sheng finally stepped out of another threshold other than being an official.

Knighted!

No matter in which era of monarchy centralization, the glory of knighthood is definitely far greater than the glory of being an official. As an official, you can only glorify your ancestors, and being knighted can benefit future generations.

The title of the Dayu Dynasty is directly related to vital interests, not just an honor. Dayu has nineteen titles, and below the ninth title is just glory, and above the ninth one, that is to really step into the realm of the entry valve.

The definition of the gate valve is not how huge the family power is, nor how many people there are in the family, but it is recognized by the imperial court, and the gate valve certificate is issued, and then it is recognized by the world.

The gate valve is the main force of the upper class society of the Yu Dynasty. In the nineteen states of Shenzhou, the number of gate valves may only be a hundred, but they control sixty percent of the world's resources.

In other words, as long as all the gate lords are loyal to the royal family, even if all the rebellions in the world cannot shake the status of the imperial court. Of course, this is an absolute metaphor.

Lu Sheng is only twenty-three years old, without his father's shadow, all from scratch, more than a year after becoming a door valve, which is unique in the history of Dayu.

The title given by the emperor is very ordinary, the male of Zhilu County! This is the ninth of the nineteen barons. Given land, 7,000 acres, the entire Donglai Township, and even several surrounding villages are in Lu Sheng's fiefdom.

It is not that the granting of these fiefs to Lu Sheng is tantamount to depriving the original owners of these lands of their wealth. The land of the Yu Dynasty is state-owned, and the people buy land not to buy, but to rent, so the tax paid is also called rent.

The people on these 7,000 acres of land no longer need to pay rent to the imperial court from now on, but only need to hand it over to Lu Sheng. Lu Sheng has the right to exempt the land tax, but he does not have the right to increase the tax.

Therefore, after giving these fields to Lu Sheng, there was no loss for the local people.

The official title has to be earned by oneself, but the title can be passed down from generation to generation. If future generations are honest and do not break the law, this title will be inherited forever.

So no matter when Duan Fei and Lu Jian were happy to congratulate Lu Sheng, Shen Ling held his mouth and felt that the emperor was stingy.

In Shen Ling's words, Lu Shengli's merits, even if he was a viscount, he was awarded a baron.

Lu Sheng was not very happy, not because he thought that the title was low, but in Lu Sheng's view, the emperor's knighthood was actually a means of entrapment. This is the same as the boss's improvement of the welfare package.

For Lu Sheng, his fate is already in his own hands. Therefore, the favor of the imperial court can be accepted, but it will not be as grateful as ordinary people do.

The baron is not small, and it is not a pity to learn that it is good.

With a knighthood, then the dress should also be exquisite, and those with a knighthood wear a headband with a jade crown. A gentleman is like a jade, wearing a jade crown makes Lu Sheng look more dazzling, that is, the jade crown is too heavy than the previous wooden crown, and there is always a feeling of being pressed by something.

And this knighthood is actually another support from the emperor. The last time the local officials were transferred, it was a covert support, because Lu Sheng had not yet lifted the veil of mystery of going south.

But this time, the star-striped iron ore was discovered, and there were also signs that the star-striped iron ore had been mined, who could do such a big deal? Who could do such a big thing without hiding from the imperial court?

Those who have a heart can understand it just by thinking about it.

If you want to change to other officials, you basically don't dare to check down when you find out this step, and you are mixed in the officialdom, which one of them doesn't know how to protect yourself?

Anyway, he rehabilitated the case fifteen years ago, and then discovered the star-striped iron ore, and the credit has gone into his pocket. Check it again, maybe the credit you got is gone, and your life will be gone.

That's why the emperor knighted Lu Sheng at this time, and told everyone clearly, don't be afraid, I will support you behind your back, give me a thorough investigation, and there will be no cap. Even if something goes wrong in the end, there is any danger. Great, take the knighthood to take the blame.

In the Dayu Dynasty, there is indeed a law to take the title to blame, so it will set up nineteen titles. Above the Nine Lords, it can withstand death. Even the highest town-level prince can offset the crime of rebellion.

Without this support, Lu Sheng didn't want to give up halfway, not to mention that with this support, he was not afraid of anything. Therefore, after the knighthood came down, Lu Sheng once again intensified his investigation, but he blatantly conducted a thorough investigation of the major commercial houses.

For a while, the merchants of the entire Tongnan Province were panicked, and some even directly shut down their own trading businesses and guarded the shops to make money.

Lu Sheng didn't know what kind of turmoil was going on in the palace, but at least he knew that the emperor's concern for this matter exceeded his usual policy of gentleness.

"My lord!" Just as Lu Sheng and Shen Ling were formulating a policy for the big siege and search, a Xuan Tianwei came in through the side door, "My lord, a brother has discovered a situation. ”

"What's the situation?"

"Since the day before yesterday, the brothers conducted a formal investigation into Boss Xue's property, and they happened to find out the accounts of a cloth dyeing boss under Boss Xue. But this morning, something happened to that boss. ”

"Something happened?

"The situation is a little puzzling, last night, the boss was bitten to death in bed by his own concubine. It's a real bite to death...... After the incident, the brothers happened to be at the scene and had already secured the scene...... My subordinates have come to ask for instructions, do I need to access the investigation?"

"Do you think there is something else going on in this case?" Lu Sheng asked curiously.

"On the surface, there is indeed no doubt, that little concubine seems to have lost her mind, and she is like a beast. The scene that the brothers saw at the scene was a little unbearable for us after a long time on the battlefield.

The golden boss was trapped on all fours on the bed, and there were strips of cloth stuffed in his mouth, and blood was spurting everywhere. According to their family, when they pushed the door open, the concubine was still gnawing and biting at Boss Jin's body.

The eyes of that concubine were either human eyes or a beast. Boss Jin's fatal wound was in his throat, and he was directly bitten off his throat......"

"Hiss-" Even just listening to the description of his subordinates, Shen Ling and the others shuddered. Such a brutal way of killing is simply appalling.

And Lu Sheng also shuddered solemnly, don't make a Resident Evil or something, right?

"Let's go, let's take a look!"

The place of the crime is in Qigao County, located in the north of Tongnan Province. When Lu Sheng and the others felt it, it was just noon.

Boss Jin's house is indeed a rich manor's house, within three miles of the county seat, in the middle of the continuous wheat fields.

There aren't many villages around, so there's no crowd of people. Because Xuan Tianwei was presiding over the scene, although there was a wail, he did not destroy the scene.

The moment he entered the scene, the pungent smell of blood rushed into his nostrils. After seeing Boss Kim's death.

"Gross-"

All the Xuan Tianwei, including Shen Ling, vomited.
