The sun is out.

The five-color flag hunted and fluttered, and a team of people came up on the official road, all of whom were armed with guns and ammunition. The soldiers pulled the bolts of their guns, crouched down and aimed their shots.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the two Assassins immediately lurked in the snow.

Qin's father and son couldn't tell whether they were friends or foes, anyway, it was better than being killed by an assassin. They rushed to the banner waving in the wind, explaining that they were not bad guys, and begging the army to hunt down the Assassins. The soldiers did not quite believe their words, but threatened the father and son with bayonets to be honest.

"Qin Beiyang!"

Between the rifles and bayonets, a man in his early thirties dressed in a black police uniform and with two mustaches came out.

Inspector Ye Kenan of the Beijing Police Department.

On the snow outside Jingxi Camel Village, Ye Kenan looked at the withered and desolate Xiangshan in the distance, and the sun shone on his side face, as well as on the father and son covered in blood.

He ordered the medical guards to come and bandage Qin Customs' wounds, grabbed the sixteen-year-old boy's shoulder, and asked what was wrong.

Qin Beiyang was incoherent at first, and shouted in his mouth: "Assassin! Assassin! ”

"What assassin?"

"The Case of Destroying the Door...... They're back...... Two Assassins...... Revenge ......"

Ye Kenan understood, and couldn't help but give a cold war, and immediately ordered the soldiers to disperse the formation to search and assist in the arrest of important culprits.

"Inspector Ye! Please accept Lao Qin's worship. ”

Qin Customs knelt in the snow and thanked Ye Kenan for saving his life.

"You're welcome, I'm not here to save you!"

Ye Kenan frowned, beating Qin Beiyang's chest, feeling that this boy was taller than himself.

Qin's father and son, you and I said one sentence to another, and only then did they explain the process of the "corpse transformation" in the snowy night, and the two assassins flying out of the coffin, running all the way to escape. Lao Qin found the tired horse and said that he would dig a grave for it and bury it, and it was this horse that saved the lives of his grandfather.

An hour later, the soldiers returned to report that no trace of the Assassin had been found, and that they had disappeared like ghosts.

After a few years, Ye Kenan is already a well-known detective in the capital.

The deeds of solving the case of the heirs of the six doors have long been written into novels and serialized in newspapers by literati. Among the many cases he handled, in addition to political incidents such as the "Song Jiaoren case", the most mysterious one that has not yet been solved is the case of the destruction of the German concession in the first year of Xuantong. At that time, the whole of Tianjin was looking for wanted murderers, and the streets and alleys were plastered with portraits of two assassins, but nothing was found.

The murder weapon left at the scene of the murder is still in the safe of the National Police Agency—a sharp dagger with an ivory handle, and a luodian decoration engraved with a comet striking the moon. Ye Kenan asked the sword master, ivory carving master, and luodian master of the Beijing Liuli Factory to see it, and they all said that the workmanship of this artifact was quite excellent, but it was difficult to judge where it came from.

At the entrance of the camel village in western Beijing, Ye Kenan did not have hope, those two assassins were by no means ordinary people, once they slipped away, they were like streams flowing into the sea, and dead leaves were swept into the forest. However, the attempted assassination also made progress in the case - indicating that the two Assassins were still alive, and the young Assassin did have a scar on his face. Moreover, they are still very skilled, they can actually chase the galloping carriage, and they can endure in the coffin all night, which is absolutely unusual. The most important thing is that their target must be Qin Beiyang.

"Inspector Ye, why did you bring the army here?"

Qin Beiyang came up to interrupt his musings.

"I'm just being told to find your father and son, just as I found you seven years ago. Through the Minister of Internal Affairs of the former Qing Dynasty, I inquired about many people before I found this place. ”

"Is it ......?"

Qin Customs had already guessed most of it, and his face was full of sadness in an instant.

"Yes, this year is the first year of Hong Xian. The Republic of China was changed to the Chinese Empire, and the Great President was changed to the Great Emperor. In all dynasties, when emperors ascended the throne, there was always one thing to do. ”

"Repair the mausoleum?"

"Yes, in the whole world, the only people who can build an imperial tomb of the same standard as the former Qing Dynasty are your Qin father and son."

Qin Beiyang asked before his father: "Is this a bad idea you came up with?" ”

"I'm sorry, this is Mr. Yang Du's opinion. I'm just a small detective, insignificant in this Beiyang world. ”

"I won't do it!" Qin Beiyang still remembers the calendar, "Today is January 2, 1916, not the sixteenth year of Guangxu." ”

"I'm sorry, I told you seven years ago that I'm a dirty worker. Goodbye and take care. ”

Ye Kenan rode a black horse and headed in the direction of Beijing City, and disappeared in a puff of smoke.

At this time, the Qin father and son were surrounded by troops.

An officer took out a letter of appointment and, in the name of the Imperial Chinese Empire's Ministry of Internal Affairs, appointed the Qin Customs as the hereditary overseer of the Imperial Mausoleum, and rewarded him with 500 silver yuan.

Lao Qin was caught off guard, the fat shortage of the past dynasties actually fell on his head, and there were five hundred silver yuan, which was not only enough to pay off the debt, but also to buy a big mansion in the capital. On top of that, the family is back to their old business, becoming a royal craftsman for generations, and can build a new tomb beast.

"Daddy, you're not really impressed, are you?"

"Do we still have a choice?"

Qin Customs was right, the soldiers had already pointed their guns at them.

An hour later, the Qin father and son left Beijing. They were escorted to Baoding Mansion and rode with the army into Taihang Mountain, which was only a few dozen miles away from Xiling. Yuan Shikai was worried that the public construction of the mausoleum would arouse the opposition of public opinion in the whole country, so he decided to build the mausoleum in secret, and it must be in the mountainous area that is inaccessible. But to find the dragon vein, the "point point" to determine the location of the golden well, now there is no royal feng shui master, the former Minister of the Interior recommended Qin Customs can be a big responsibility.

Lao Qin, who has not healed from a shoulder injury, said: "I'm just a craftsman, do you know a fart?" ”

Having said that, he led a large group of men into a treacherous valley. It was the middle of winter, everything was bleak, and there was a lot of snow in the mountains. Thousands of mountains and birds fly away, and thousands of people disappear. Only wild wolves are infested, howling in the middle of the night. Qin Beiyang was wrapped in a military blanket, riding on a war horse, carefully inspecting the surrounding terrain, and always felt a little familiar.

Qin Customs said to his son as he walked: "To find the dragon, you must climb to the top of the mountain range, condescendingly, and observe the situation of the mountains and rivers. Climb Taizu Mountain, pass through Shaozu Mountain, Parents Mountain, see the origin and peeling of the dragon, walking, and then after many repetitions, through the mountains and gorges, restrain the qi, meet the river, and enter the head. The protruding acupoints will mate with yin and yang, and the qi will be ......"

"No, Daddy, you're! Isn't this the way we went up the mountain to find the spirit stone for Emperor Guangxu's tomb beast a few years ago? ”

Lao Qin pulled down his face: "Yes, last time I found out that there are dragon veins there, not to mention that there are spirit stones as raw materials." In addition, it is located in the deep mountains and old forests, which fully meets the requirements of the mausoleum. ”

They walked on Taihang Mountain for three days, relying on Qin Beiyang's extraordinary memory, and finally found the mountain stream, which is now frozen, and there is a huge rock containing spirit stones.

Qin Customs is a mile away, and finds a hillside land, which is the best acupuncture point. According to the ancient method, he made his own knot seal book, similar to the scroll of the pre-Qin bamboo slips, and burned the soil on the spot. The ashes are between stone and earth, and there are mysterious rings, which are Tai Chi halos.

The army dug a deep well here as a golden well for the mausoleum of Emperor Hongxian.

This is a top-secret operation, which must not alarm the local people, and all the labor is carried out by the army. They are the elite of the Beiyang Army, the former Qing Dynasty called the standard, the Republic of China called the regiment, originally an engineering unit, the best at building fortresses and fortifications, equipped with various engineering equipment, and even a diesel generator.

Under the command of the Qin Customs, the sappers excavated the underground palace in the heavy snow, and built the tomb road, the tomb door, as well as the treasure city, the Ming Tower, the Qi'en Temple, the Shinto Tablet Pavilion, the Shinto and the stone statues according to the specifications of the Qing Tomb. In just three months, it began to take shape, and it became a large construction site in the mountains. Qin Beiyang thought while watching the excitement that the European army defended the country or invaded other countries, but the Chinese army served the individual, and it was simply Yuan Shikai's servant and employer.
