The shocking news of the explosion in the seventeen cities swept through the surrounding counties overnight, and the news drifted to the capital and directly into the emperor's ears like wings.

The soldiers stationed nearby received orders to camp in the 17th City overnight, surround the scene of the explosion, and no one was allowed to approach.

The scale of the explosion in these seventeen cities varied, and the most devastation was the ancient crane city. Who would have thought that there was an underground artillery workshop outside the prosperous city that made gunpowder in violation of regulations.

It's just bold to not take the lives of the people into account.

If the artillery workshop was secretly built in the city, if it exploded accidentally, how many innocent people would be on board.

When the people learned of the seriousness of the matter, the people of every city were furious, and even went to the county government to protest against the thorough investigation of the matter.

There are really big hidden dangers in the place where they have lived for decades, how can they live in peace? And looking at this situation, it seems that the artillery fire workshop has existed for a while.

Luckily, there was an explosion at night, and it was daytime. With so many people coming in and out of the city, how many innocent people are going to be affected.

When the night was chaotic, Liang Zhiyi led people into the city. Mu Jinchen and Yu Yi also rushed back to the inn overnight.

Liang Zhiyi made a ruthless move, and although Mu Jinchen avoided it, he was still shocked by internal forces. While Minghui's brothers are cleaning up, the remaining forces can recover a little.

The second head of the Zhang family sat in the inconspicuous inn, and from the second floor, he could see the hurried pace of the officials on the street.

The ancient crane city, which has prospered for hundreds of years, has the biggest case of money and murder. Suddenly such a shocking case that caused a sensation throughout the war week broke out, and the government and government officials were busy day and night.

Hearing that the door of the wing room was pushed open, the second head of the Zhang family was also indifferent.

"The entire Ancient Crane City is the most leisurely for the second family master Zhang." The visitor sat down and poured himself a cup of tea.

The second head of the Zhang family closed the window with his hand: "The Xiao family's business is expanding year by year, and I still envy you for being so busy." ”

The Xiao family put the teacup on the table, and their voices were mixed with displeasure: "The Xiao family and the Zhang family have always been well water and do not interfere with river water, and I don't know why the second head of the Zhang family targeted us. ”

"Against? You're messing up your business. You can't talk nonsense without evidence. "In the end, it is also the foundation of a century-old family, and the bearing of the second head of the Zhang family is different from others.

The Xiao family remembered that in just a few days, their business had been repeatedly frustrated and there were frequent accidents. In addition, the explosion caused turmoil to the hearts of the people, and some of the Xiao family's industries were affected.

should not be afraid, but following the clues and searching, it was found that it was actually related to the Zhang family. The Xiao family admitted that they were afraid of the Zhang family, so today's scene came to question the Zhang family.

The second head of the Zhang family also looked down on the reckless nature of the Xiao family, and he was so frightened and had no courage to do so.

"The second head of the Zhang family rarely sets foot in the seventeen cities in the south of the Yangtze River, but he came here when this is not a big deal. How can this not be suspicious? ”

The Zhang family has the meaning of retreating over the years, and does not like to get involved in disputes on the rivers and lakes. But the power is still impossible to ignore, and the Xiao family has to be vigilant.

The head of the second Zhang family looked at him expressionlessly: "It's just that there was an explosion, what are you Xiao family nervous about?" Could it be that you're getting involved? I can advise you that you will be punished for eating black money. ”

"Nonsense! Our Xiao family is above board, and we will never get involved in such a thing. The Xiao family was slightly annoyed.

The second head of the Zhang family smiled: "Bright? You know what the auction did to the people of the Zhang family. You should be glad that we didn't get to the bottom of it. ”

The Xiao family was choked, and that incident was indeed their fault. Regardless of whether there are still entanglements in business, the two families want to get the things in the tomb, so it is destined to be hostile.

King Yu is far away in the capital, and when he receives this news, it is too late to come up with countermeasures, and no matter how good his method is, he can't save Yuanhuo. Liang Zhiyi was busy retreating his subordinates, and he couldn't take care of the whole situation for a while. In order to prevent the court from following the clues to find his head, part of the property had to be discarded.

In addition, Minghui made trouble before, and some forces have long been vulnerable. After Minghui received the order, he quickly cleaned up these forces.

The industrial recovery and reorganization plan sent by Su Xiangsi came in handy at this time, otherwise Mu Jinchen would have to spend more energy to rectify and supervise the industries that had been collected into Minghui.

The investigation team set up by the 17 cities in Jiangnan jointly investigated the explosion incident and coordinated with each other appropriately. There has also been some progress in the results of the survey.

It's just that after a few days of panic, the ancient crane city has returned to its former bustle. Mu Jinchen took one last look at the top of Yanwu Garden not far away on the ship, although he hadn't found any useful news yet. He had a hunch that he would have the opportunity to see Yanwu Garden again in the future.

The boat slowly left the dock, and Mu Jinchen also regained his mind.

I'm finally going back.

——

Jing Jiu held his forehead with one hand, and the letters scattered on the table gave him a headache. Why do the tribes in the north of the town like to stay in the deep mountains and old forests all year round?

It's a lot of trouble to go in and search for some clues.

It is difficult to return, but it still arouses Jing Jiu's heart to be competitive. was still right by Su Xiangsi, Jing Jiu has been comfortable for too long, and he should be thrown out to feel the hardships of life.

As the northern part of Kyoto, Kajo occupies the largest area, and because of its topography, it is surrounded by rolling mountains. This also means that Jiacheng also has many tribes of different sizes.

Each tribe occupies a small boundary in the mountains and forests, and does not interfere with each other, nor is it allowed to provoke each other. This is also the reason why Jing Jiu has a bit of a headache, the terrain in the mountains and forests is different, and he deviates into other places without paying attention.

Su Xiangsi also sent a letter to scare him that some tribes eat people, and they clearly look down on him.

The terrain is difficult to walk, and the moonlight does not spread into the mountains and forests, and the surroundings are pitch black. Jing Jiu carefully groped forward, and there must be a trap in this forest. If you don't guard against people, you must guard against all kinds of wild beasts.

In the letter, Su Xiangsi told him to return to the war week as soon as he found the news of the tomb map, and it was best not to alarm the unfathomable regent.

"Anyone? Is it anyone? Help me......"

Jing Jiu was still seriously exploring the way, and vaguely heard a weak cry for help in front of him. Settle your mind and carefully distinguish the direction, and carefully grope for the past.

It was a teenager who fell into a pit and couldn't move. Jing Jiu looked at him vigilantly and didn't say anything.

I didn't expect to be able to meet people in the middle of the night, and the young man's bright eyes were full of hope: "Can you help me out?" My legs and arms hurt and I couldn't move. ”

Jing Jiu hesitated and jumped into the pit to carefully observe his injuries, dislocated his hand and sprained his foot. Taking out the fire fold can only illuminate a little place, barely used for lighting.

"You ninja point."

As soon as the words fell, Jing Jiu held his hand and lifted it hard, and with the young man's muffled snort, his arm had already been connected. Pour the potion on the injured rub on his swollen ankle.

"Walking in the forest so late, this is a big heart."

The young man didn't care about the number of people in front of him: "I am from the ancient Burmese tribe, my name is Li Ze." What tribe are you from? ”

"I don't have a home." Jing Jiu lied, his face was not red, and his heart was not beating.

"I want to trouble you to send me back at dawn, and my father will thank you."

Jing Jiu was silent for a few breaths: "Good people, sit to the end." ”

The ancient Burmese tribe, isn't that exactly the purpose of his trip? It's really sleeping someone sent a pillow and hit it by mistake.
