Xiang Lu asked, "Tell me what you know." ”

The man said: "The villain is an ordinary member of the weapons group of the First Qingdao Society, and he obeys the orders of a person in charge of the Central Organization Department. We don't use names in the organization, but we only listen to whoever governs directly. ”

"What's the deal with the fat water?"

"My lord, this is a weapon invented by the person in charge, and we have obtained dark brown raw materials from Shanggun, and transported them to the mountains near the border of the state to refine the fat water. Dragon Tiger was originally a low hill that was easy to be discovered, and it was completed in two places without exposing the origin of raw materials. ”

When Xiang Lu heard it, it was as he expected. He asked again, "Tell me how you got the demon fire?" ”

"Back to my lord, the fat level is often difficult to ignite, and it does not melt in water, it is lighter than water, so it will float on the surface of the water, and to ignite it, you must use the sparks produced by explosives. We poured a lot of fat water into the lake and then threw it into a fireball and ignited it, so that the lake burned on a large scale, of course, we chose to act in a narrow river and lake, and we had to determine the direction of the flow. ”

Xiang Lu then asked, "Then why was Wu Zhizi burned to death on the shore?" ”

"My lord, Wu Zhizi was painting everywhere, and accidentally painted our refining office, and we saw that he wanted to paint back that day, but who knew that he was gone. We tried to buy it with money, but when we tried to kill him, he lost the painting. The person in charge decided not to paint and let him replace Wu Hou as an experimental subject first. We had someone deliberately lead him to the arranged place, and at that time, or when the fire came to him, we took advantage of the panic of the crowd and poured a large amount of fat on him, so he was burned to death. ”

After listening to this, Xiang Lu asked sharply: "Then, you also arranged for the craftsmen to build the Jinglong Terrace?" ”

"Yes, it should have been arranged by the person in charge."

"Nonsense, how can a stranger be in charge of such a major affairs in the court, it must be your own people in the court, say!"

"My lord is right, when I came to Luoyang, I was received by a black-robed man, and our person in charge was respectful to him, and that person's identity should not be simple."

Xiang Lu thought to himself: Sure enough, there is a member of the Qingdao Society in the imperial court, and it is still uncertain, but according to the character of the Empress Wu, Zhu Li will definitely be killed, and I am afraid that she is also waiting for the opportunity.

Xiang Lu asked, "Where is the person in charge now?" ”

"He said that he wanted to stay in Luoyang City for a while and go back when the turmoil passed." The suspect said.

"Where does he live?"

"I don't know about this, but I heard him say, 'I haven't smelled wine for a long time.'"

waved his hand to Lu and asked the officers and soldiers to escort people down, thinking: The wineries in the Western Regions in Luoyang sell wine, and there should not be many guests who have just arrived.

Xiang Lu said: "Give me to surround the wineries in the Western Regions, and then search for the guests who have just arrived in Luoyang on the pretext of arresting the Moon Pearl, and don't mention the matter of Luoshui." ”

So, the officers and soldiers surrounded the winery, and in one day, they found seven men who had just arrived in Luoyang.

Xiang Lu asked people to take them to a room, soak them in fat water, and then each of them sent a bunch of fireworks, and asked the officers and soldiers to pass the word: "If you don't hand over the night pearl, let you stay in this dark room, in cold 'water' for a month, soak your body, and you can use this fireworks to keep warm!" Towards your own body warmer! ”

At night, the weather became colder, these people couldn't stand the soaking, and their whole bodies were cold, and the six men took out fireworks one after another, ready to light them to keep warm, and suddenly one person knocked out the fireworks of others.

Xiang Lu suddenly came in, and the officers and soldiers also lit the lamps. Xiang Lu said to the middle-aged man with a small beard, "Are you still pretending?" ”

The bearded man pretended, "What did the adults say?" I didn't steal the moon pearl. ”

Xiang Lu asked all the suspects to get out of the big bucket and let the other six people leave, saying, "The other six people don't know this thing, only you know, you are not the person in charge of weapons in the First Qingdao Society." ”

The man refused to admit it, and said, "I just happen to know each other." ”

"Your subordinates have all been recruited, it doesn't matter if you don't admit it, anyway, I can't find out the other people in the Qingdao Society, so I'll hand you over to the Empress Wu to deal with!"

The man saw that Xiang Lu didn't look like he was asking, and thought to himself: He really can't find anyone else, and I'm afraid that he will die soon.

The next day, Xiang Lu sent the suspect to the Empress Wu and said: "The main culprit on the shore of Luoshui is this person, but this person is tight-lipped and has to ask the Queen Mother to interrogate him personally." ”

Seeing that Xiang Lu was so sure, Empress Wu knew that he couldn't make a mistake, so he said, "Give him to Zhou Xing and come to Junchen!" ”

The man collapsed to the ground, but his face did not change.

Sure enough, he was tortured and tortured to death by Zhou Xing and Lai Junchen, but he never said anything about other people, and he was a man.

Han King Li Yuanjia's nervous heart relaxed, sighed, and said, "Sima Xianglu, it's a good thing for us, you really deserve to die!" ”
