Gu Yan still felt that Shen Qianshan's current reaction was a little unusual, but she didn't continue to ask, now Shen Qianshan's situation is troublesome enough, as long as Gu Huai'an helps him check that there is no problem with his body, there is no need for him to make a big fuss.

Gu Huai'an just woke up, the whole person became refreshed, got up and stretched, and when he went out, he saw a bunch of people gathered outside, and he also felt that something was not right.

"Is something happening again, why do you seem to be in a hurry?"

Gu Huai'an didn't know if he should use this word to describe them, but the current situation didn't look like a state where everything was solved, but like he had encountered greater trouble and was difficult to solve.

Shen Qianshan shook his head, but Gu Yan grabbed Shen Qianshan and dragged him in front of Gu Huai'an.

"Brother, you help him take a look first, he has been feeling a headache just now."

Shen Qianshan didn't have time to react, he was dragged in front of Gu Huai'an, Gu Huai'an didn't hesitate at all, he sat down directly and began to take the pulse.

Seeing Shen Qianshan's somewhat dazed expression, Gu Yan opened her mouth to explain.

"You can't go out now, and when the inspection is over, it's too late for you to go to the palace."

Gu Yan didn't want to relax in this kind of thing, if something really happened, it would be too late for her to regret it.

Gu Huai'an also understood his sister's mood, but after checking, he did not find anything wrong.

"It's really nothing, you believe me, I'm one of the best doctors in the capital, and it's impossible to misdiagnose it." Gu Huai'an's words not only reassured Gu Yan, but also made Shen Qianshan relax a little, he really thought that his body was in trouble, but now it seems that he should be thinking too much.

Since there was nothing to do, Shen Qianshan decided to go into the palace again to check the situation, if this matter was not resolved for a day, he would be pressed by all kinds of pressures of this matter one day.

Before, all of Shen Qianshan's energy was focused on the identities of these two guards, but he didn't think that if they were just related to this matter, or the murderer behind the scenes, it was possible to frame other people through the death of the two of them.

How big of a character can two ordinary guards offend, and they would rather venture into the palace than kill someone?

Shen Qianshan originally wanted to enter the palace after cleaning up, but he didn't expect that he had just walked to the gate of the palace and found that martial law was under martial law inside and out.

The person standing at the door was Zhou Ziyuan, the guard in the imperial city, this was not the first time Shen Qianshan and Zhou Ziyuan had dealt with each other, Zhou Ziyuan also knew that Shen Qianshan was here to investigate the case, so he was not embarrassed, but after searching his body to make sure that there was nothing abnormal, he let him in.

But Shen Qianshan felt that something was wrong, so he grabbed Zhou Ziyuan and asked carefully.

"Not long after I left, did something happen in the palace?"

Looking at their posture, this incident should have happened just now, but it was clear that Lin Jiujiu had been firmly watched by himself in the Lingyin Pavilion, and at this time, there should be no way to get out and do other things.

When Zhou Ziyuan heard Shen Qianshan ask, he could only shake his head helplessly.

"The prince doesn't know that something big has happened in this palace."

Zhou Ziyuan is also the commander of the guards in the palace, logically speaking, there shouldn't be anything that can make him show such an expression, but in this situation, even he is so embarrassed, I'm afraid something really happened.

Zhou Tongling said that it was okay. Maybe this king can help. ”

Shen Qianshan was not so enthusiastic, but wanted to know if there was anything else going on in the palace, so that he could refer to it, and maybe it would be helpful to the current case in his hands.

"There is indeed a matter that may need the help of the prince, the prince is very well-connected in the capital, do you know where in this capital can you make gunpowder privately?"

When Zhou Ziyuan asked this, he was actually quite embarrassed, because he knew that the person in front of him would not reply to him no matter what, whether he knew it or not.

If the prince knew that anyone could use gunpowder privately, this matter would definitely have nothing to do with him, so before figuring out this matter, it would be impossible for Shen Qianshan to show any signs of knowing about it.

Shen Qianshan really can't say it, and he really doesn't know.

At most, he only knew that Gu Yan had a batch of such gunpowder in his hands, but in this capital, the person who made the gunpowder himself really didn't know.

"I don't know about this king, but Zhou Tongling, why did he suddenly ask about this? Could it be that something is going on inside the palace? ”

Zhou Ziyuan also knew that he was asking this question wrongly, and he checked inside and out for a long time and made no progress, so it is estimated that he can only rely on the people in front of him.

"Has there been any progress in the case that the prince investigated before? There's been so much going on in this palace lately, I'm just afraid that there might be something to do with it. ”

"What the hell is going on? Why are you so bothered? ”

"The lotus pond in the palace was blown up three times in a row yesterday evening."

Zhou Ziyuan's voice was much lower when he said this, because there were indeed many people around him who didn't know what was going on at all.

At that time, there were still many people patrolling around, and in the evening, not only the emperor, but even the concubines of the palaces were in the lotus pond of the palace, and there were several deafening noises one after another nearby, and even Shen Zhongbai was frightened.

So after the accident happened yesterday, Shen Zhongbai hurriedly found Zhou Ziyuan and asked him to investigate these things as soon as possible.

The situation at that time is not clear in words, in short, although the power of this gunpowder is not great, but if it really hurts anyone, it will definitely cause a great impact.

"Can you ignite gunpowder underwater? How is this possible. Shen Qianshan thinks that he has read a lot, and he has usually studied books similar to gunpowder, but he has never seen gunpowder that can be ignited underwater.

"What's more, it's not just that it is burning in the water, even the trees around the lotus pond are all on fire, if it weren't for the fact that someone happened to be patrolling nearby at that time, I'm afraid the emperor and the concubines of the harem would also be affected."

Zhou Ziyuan, as the commander of the guards of the harem, was naturally the first to bear the brunt, and after Shen Zhongbai finally settled down the emotions of the people around him, he was the first to punish Zhou Ziyuan, and he was limited to three days to find out about this matter, but on his own, he still had the task of finding out the murder case within ten days before.

Although this matter was all handed over to the prince in the end, it had something to do with him.

"Did you hurt anyone?"

If you know who was injured that day, you can know who you want to target and who you want to target, and the investigation will be much clearer.

When Zhou Ziyuan heard this, he could only shake his head.

"I thought the same way, but no one was injured that day, and even those who went to put out the fire in the back were not harmed, so there was no way to find out."

The gunpowder exploded in the water, and apart from a small splash and sparks, there was really no harm.

Even the experienced Zhou Ziyuan doesn't know where to start now, he can only check the people who enter and exit one by one at the gate of the palace, after all, gunpowder is impossible to appear in the palace, once it appears, it can only be brought in from people outside, if this is the case, the people who check in and out by themselves may still have some discoveries.

Shen Qianshan shook his head, "I don't think you should be guarding the palace gate at this time, if this person really has such a great ability to bring gunpowder into the palace, the most dangerous person now should be the most worthy of protection in the palace, right?" ”

This Zhou Ziyuan, Shen Qianshan once understood that he could indeed achieve this position with his net worth and martial arts alone, but before this, he was very trusted by Shen Zhongbai, completely because he had a younger sister who was a concubine in the harem, in fact, their Zhou family was not a big family, and it was even just an ordinary merchant who started by selling medicinal materials.

Maybe it's because Zhou Ziyuan is in a puzzle and can't see clearly, but he is outside, and he can see it very clearly.

In the final analysis, there is no one to target in this matter, which can only mean that this matter is actually to indirectly retaliate against someone, or that the person behind this person has not yet found an opportunity.

However, Zhou Ziyuan is not wrong about one thing, this matter is likely to have a certain relationship with the previous murder case, but he is now abandoning the basics, if he only continues to investigate the source of gunpowder and does not protect the people who should be protected, it is estimated that more people will be hurt later.

Although he and Shen Zhongbai don't deal with each other, it doesn't mean that he can watch other people have accidents.

After listening to Shen Qianshan's words, Zhou Ziyuan seemed to understand, and quickly collected his things, left a few of his subordinates, and continued to check at the gate of the palace, while he took the rest of the people to the imperial garden where the banquet was being held today.

The place where the accident happened yesterday was in the lotus pond, and today's banquet was held in the garden, Shen Zhongbai didn't think that yesterday's incident had much impact, but in order to appease the emotions of the concubines, he still chose to set up a banquet in the imperial garden to entertain the concubines of the palace.

Zhou Ziyuan understood that Shen Qianshan's words just now were already hinting at himself, which means that if the target of that person yesterday was really so wide, it was very likely that the person who would attack today was still in this group of people.
