In this way, the other party knows the itinerary of Noya and Bailijiu well, especially Noya's every move since he left the capital is under the control of that person, and he is very jealous, Noya's unintentional reaction made the other party move and destroy the mineral deposits in Hanshan in advance, leaving no traces.

This person is not only suspicious, but also resolute and ruthless, which should not be underestimated.

The two were silent for a moment, and then said in unison: "We know this person!" ”

Yes, this person knows Noah's temperament very well, as if all the things about Noah, including the identity of her killer, are all clear, and they must be familiar with them!

Noya clenched her fists, she didn't expect that there were so many hidden secrets and involvements behind the Murong Villa case, and she was inevitably angry in her heart.

The case involves a wide range of issues, and it is necessary to strike while the iron is hot. Before the will of the imperial court was issued, Nuoya turned all her hatred into her sleeplessness and motivation to investigate the case, accompanied Baili Jiu together, walked the streets and alleys, investigated clues about Huang Dexing, and went deep into the case.

Indeed, as Bailijiu and Noah guessed, Huang Dexing and the prefect had already become vigilant as the day after Noya left Handan City and went to Eagle City, and began to destroy the evidence of the crime, burning all the correspondence and account books overnight. Some time ago, Huang Dexing went to the mountains and did not come back for two or three days, so he should be secretly transferring.

It's just that where all the people have been transferred, but there is no clue, there are not many strangers in Handan City in recent days, and there are no heavy vehicles carrying goods.

The investigation has temporarily reached a dead end, and Bailijiu and Nuoya plan to return to Hanshan to see if there are any other clues. After all, this is a large mineral deposit, so many years, mining is certainly very difficult, but since the mountain road has begun to be repaired and expanded, it means that there must have been results, and it should be far beyond Guanluo's discovery, and Huang Dexing and others are planning to start transporting or transferring outward, and it is impossible not to have a little movement.

Yuan Bao sent people into the city to send information and report the latest progress of several people. When he and Guan Luo searched around, they found more than 30 large and small mines, including abandoned mines, with 70% of the coal mines and the rest all iron ore. All of these caves have been abandoned, and most of them have been tightly blocked with rocks, and there is no time to clear them and investigate the specific situation inside. They also found a large amount of slag and waste in a nearly collapsed mine, and in terms of quantity, there must have been much more forged weapons than were found in the cave.

The discovery of Yuan Bao and others confirmed Baili Jiu's guess, but where did those weapons go, it is really incomprehensible, is it to build a road as a way to obstruct the eyes, God does not know, and the ghost is transported away unconsciously? Shouldn't the nearby mountain people be completely unaware? Is there another possibility, that is, the forged weapon has not yet had time to be transported, and may still be hidden somewhere in the mountains, but it has not been found for the time being.

Since the case of Huang Dexing and the prefect's murder was not clueless for the time being, the two decided to put it on hold for the time being, and turned to the investigation of the mine, hoping to make some gains. Before he could leave the city, the holy decree in Beijing arrived, and the person who carried the decree turned out to be the third prince.

The emperor's decree is naturally to reward Bailijiu and Noya for their annihilation of the Killer Pavilion and the discovery of the weapons processing factory, Bailijiu is now a high-powered young general, and the emperor's righteous son, so there can be no more rewards, so all the rewards are given to Noah.

The holy decree posthumously crowned the late Murong Cheng as Handan Hou, and Mrs. Murong as the first-class Mrs. Order, because Noya is now the side lady of Baili Mansion, she did not add the county lord, but rewarded the grade, and was the second grade of the senior doctor's wife, and ate the imperial court. In other words, although Noya is not a big lady now, her grade is already up and down with Qin's darling.

The regulations of the Murong Mausoleum are naturally rising step by step, all of which are built by the state treasury, and Baili Jiu and Nuo Ya can personally supervise the work, and grant Baili Jiu a holiday in January, and it is not too late to return to Beijing after the memorial.

The case of Huang Dexing is very important, and the emperor is angry, and the special punishment department, Dali Temple, will go to Handan City together with several famous arrests in Beijing, and the three princes will be fully responsible for jointly hearing and investigating the case, and there must be an explanation.

The emperor's will is understandable, Baili Jiu is a military general, so he is naturally not suitable for interfering in the investigation of this case. Nuoya was a little unconvinced, if she left it in the past, she would not be able to ask for it, but now that it is related to the bloody case of the Murong family, she naturally hopes to do it herself.

But the king's order cannot be violated, the two thanked the emperor for his favor, accepted the will, and informed the three princes of the ins and outs of the matter, as well as their findings in the past two days. Of course, Noah concealed the summer solstice.

Several officials were filled with righteous indignation about the case, expressing their deep hatred for the disease, and they were full of officialdom, but it was those who came from Beijing who were quick to arrest and had some genuine skills, listened to the whole case very carefully, and put forward their own views on a few details of it.

The case is clearly explained, and all the evidence of the crime is handed over, and Bailijiu and Nuoya should consciously avoid it. The two came out of the yamen, and Noah looked a little depressed.

Bailijiu knew her thoughts, and quietly comforted: "The Lord Xie from Dali Temple is familiar with me, and if you want to know the progress of the case in the future, I can ask you." ”

Noah still felt depressed, so she only bowed her head with an "um" and didn't speak.

"You've been working too hard these days, so you can rest for two days, if you don't feel at ease, you can also investigate secretly, don't let a few of them know."

Noah felt more comfortable in his heart.

"There are a lot of things like this, and the forces in the DPRK and China are complicated, and if you are not careful, you will be doomed, it is not a good errand, and the emperor's move is actually a good intention, which can make you and me stay out of the matter, so as not to check and investigate, a bloody storm, and put yourself in a dilemma."

Noya glanced at him: "You are quite good at comforting yourself, since it is a chore, why does the emperor want to hand it over to the third prince?" ”

"Mineral deposits are a major economic income of the national treasury, especially iron ore, which is related to the national fortune, and it is forbidden for private mining by the people, so it is natural to hand it over to the princes to come and investigate." Bailijiu explained.

For these, Noya naturally didn't understand, so he didn't ask more, and there were no more complaints.

In the afternoon, Yuanbao and Bingluo, Guan Luo and his party were all handed over and entered Handan City together to stand by. Noya finally had time to visit Old Man Xue.

Yuan Bao and Guan Luo had to follow with a dead face, only Bing Lu was left, and they chased after Yuan Bao step by step, they all heard about Old Man Xue's craftsmanship and wanted to eat and drink.

A few people were not empty-handed, they did not hesitate to purchase a lot of gifts, wine and meat, and they couldn't move heavily, so they simply hired a car, salivated, and went mightily.

Old man Xue had long known that his apprentice, who had been missing for many years, turned out to be Murong Nuo, the eldest lady of Murong Villa, and when he remembered that she had experienced so many hardships at such a young age, he had blamed her for not fulfilling her filial piety for many years, and his heart was sour, and his intestines were repentant, and he couldn't even bite off half of his tongue when he ate.

When more than a hundred miles and nine people came over, Old Man Xue was sighing in the courtyard, and when he saw Nuoya walking in front with a smile, he was stunned for a moment, then turned around and went back to the house, plugged the door, and let a few people knock on the door, and he didn't open it when he spoke kindly.

Noya thought that Old Man Xue was still blaming himself for not saying goodbye for all these years, and he felt guilty in his heart, so he stood at the door and apologized in a low voice and said good things.

The more emotional she said, the more uncomfortable Old Man Xue became, lying on the bed without saying a word, and making trouble with herself.

Guan Luo pouted: "Otherwise, you kneel down for him, I heard that Mr. Shu said this, so as to show your sincerity, the master was naturally moved." ”

Noah knew that his master had a strange temper, but he didn't know what kind of mind he had, and he was a little helpless for a while. Instructed Yuanbao and the others to put down the wine and meat in their hands, and said to the stubborn old man in the room: "Old man Xue, I came today just to cook you a meal, and in addition, kowtow respectfully, which can be regarded as a formal apprenticeship." After all, I was young and ignorant, and I didn't even have a formal apprenticeship. If you don't want to come out and recognize me as an apprentice, I will make three strings of sugar gourds and go to your old rival to apprentice, don't regret it. ”

The people in the house were still silent, and Noya instructed Yuanbao and others to start washing vegetables on the stove and start work in a ping pong manner.

"Old man Xue, where is your salt?"

"Old man Xue, you shouldn't only have these few dishes, right?"

Old man Xue's courtyard had never been so lively, and it immediately attracted the nearby villagers, and everyone gathered around the door, looked curiously into the courtyard, and whispered.

Among them, there are those who know Bailijiu and Nuoya, and they all guess what they have to do with Old Man Xue.

Old man Xue finally couldn't hold his breath in the room, opened the door as soon as he opened the door, and began to teach with a tense face: "It's been many years, and the craftsmanship hasn't grown at all, not to mention, the little temper is not small." Look at how messy you are, where is the look of a little cook? ”

Noya straightened up and looked at Old Man Xue with a smile: "My master taught him like this back then, if you are not convinced, go to him for a theory." ”

"You!" A sentence blocked Old Man Xue's mouth, and he jumped three feet high: "I have no ability, and I still smear the master, don't say that you are my apprentice who blames the chef Xue when you go out in the future!" ”

Old man Xue's words made the villagers watching outside instantly explode: "She turned out to be Old Man Xue's apprentice!" No wonder I didn't say goodbye back then, there was no news, pitiful! Old man Xue, what else is there to be strange about you? ”

Old man Xue's eyes turned red in an instant, and Noya's tears had already fallen "fluttering", and he called out softly: "Master, don't blame me, right?" Nuo'er has no father and mother now, and you are the only relative. ”
