"Your Majesty. ”

At this moment, Cao Zhengchun's voice came from behind him.

Zhao Lin turned around and found that Cao Zhengchun had come to the outside of the Daqing Hall at some point.

"Cao Aiqing, when did you come?"

Zhao Lin looked at Cao Zhengchun with a smile, obviously he was in a pretty good mood today.

Although he was accustomed to the latter's silent appearance, as soon as he saw the latter's solemn expression, Zhao Lin understood that he was afraid that there was something important to report.

"Let's go into the temple and talk about it. ”

Zhao Lin walked into the Daqing Hall and sat on the dragon chair.

Cao Zhengchun followed, stood under the steps, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the old slave just got bad news. ”

"Twenty officials sent by the imperial court to the Anxi Imperial Protectorate were suddenly intercepted and killed when they passed through the land of Guanzhong, and none of them survived. ”

As soon as Cao Zhengchun's words fell, the temperature in the entire Daqing Hall seemed to be dropping at a clear speed, turning into an ice cave.

Even Cao Zhengchun felt a little cold.

That is the wrath of His Majesty!

"Who did it?"

A chill appeared on Zhao Lin's face.

The original good mood was swept away in an instant.

The officials sent to the Anxi Prefecture were all carefully selected from the court, and they undertook the heavy responsibility of educating the Great Food Country.

It represents the will of the Great Song Emperor and the majesty of the Great Song Dynasty.

And now, these officials have been intercepted and killed on the way?

Who is so bold?

If this matter cannot be resolved, it will inevitably cause panic among officials all over the world.

Today is the official sent to the Anxi Prefecture to be killed, so which one will be tomorrow's turn?

If even the personal safety of officials cannot be guaranteed, the Jiangshan Society of the Great Song Dynasty may be shaken!

Zhao Lin would never allow this kind of thing to happen!

"Dongchang, can you find out who did it?"

Zhao Lin sat on the throne of the dragon chair, his expression was elusive.

There were as many as twenty officials sent to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate.

It is impossible for this murderer to have a grudge against these twenty people.

So there is only one possibility.

This murderer is not aimed at a certain official, this person is taking revenge on the imperial court!

"Your Majesty. ”

Cao Zhengchun bowed and stood on the Daqing Palace: "According to the minister's preliminary investigation, the person who made the move should be a great grandmaster. ”

"Grand Master?"

Zhao Lin frowned.

Zhao Lin didn't expect that a great grandmaster would dare to attack the officials of the imperial court.

With the vastness of the Great Song Dynasty's current territory, it is not surprising that there are several great masters lurking in the territory.

But if they are good, why should they trouble the court?

Could it be from the three countries of Dashi, Persia and Tianzhu that have just been conquered?

But the location of the interception was in the land of Guanzhong.

It doesn't make sense.

"Back to Your Majesty. ”

"This time, the officials were dispatched to the west, accompanied by hundreds of soldiers and ten masters of the East Factory. ”

"Among the ten masters of Dongchang, there are one thousand households and two hundred households, and they are all congenital masters. ”

"But without exception, they were all killed with one stroke. Therefore, the old slave dared to be sure that the person who made the move should be a great grandmaster. ”

Cao Zhengchun said this, paused for a moment, and continued: "Moreover, this great grandmaster's methods are very strange and vicious, everyone's corpses are frozen, and there is a residual cold power in the body. ”

"The power of the cold?"

Zhao Lin's pupils shrank slightly.

It seems that a breakthrough has been found.

"Not bad. ”

Cao Zhengchun nodded, "Moreover, according to the old slave's careful observation, these Yin and Cold powers, almost at the same time, penetrated into the bodies of the owners of these corpses, that is to say, this great master who drove the Yin and Cold Power killed everyone in an instant with only one move." ”

"Based on the above judgment, the murderer should not be difficult to find, the old slave will let Dongchang go all out to investigate, and he will definitely give His Majesty an answer in the shortest possible time!"

Cao Zhengchun already has a certain eyebrows.

Next, he only needs to go to the Jianghu martial arts to find out who the murderer is.

Zhao Lin frowned slightly.

"I limit you to find out the real culprit within three days. ”

"Whether it is dead or alive, the murderer must be found out and the dead official must be given an explanation!"

Zhao Lin looked at Cao Zhengchun and said.

Once this matter spreads, it will undoubtedly cause an uproar.

So many court officials were killed.

The prestige of the imperial court will be seriously damaged.

If this kind of thing can't be investigated, who will dare to do their best for the court of the Great Song Dynasty in the future?

"The old slave obeyed. ”

Cao Zhengchun looked straight and said solemnly.

Cao Zhengchun understood that His Majesty should be really angry this time.

This murderer is provoking the entire court of the Great Song Dynasty!

I've never dared to do that!

If he can't find out the murderer within three days, I'm afraid that even he won't be able to withstand His Majesty's wrath.

After Cao Zhengchun withdrew from the Daqing Palace, he immediately returned to the East Factory and gathered a large number of factory guards and spies, even if he used the strength of the entire East Factory this time, he would find out this bold murderer!

Daqing Palace.

Zhao Lin sat on the throne of the dragon chair.

Killing officials of the court of the Great Song Dynasty is undoubtedly extremely bad.

This was not the first provocation that the court of the Great Song Dynasty had encountered.

But this time, the murderer is in the shadows.

When his strength reaches the level of a great grandmaster, it has always been a divine dragon who sees the beginning but does not see the end, and it is not easy to capture a character of this level.

It's just that Zhao Lin believes in Cao Zhengchun's methods.

Three days later, Cao Zhengchun will definitely give a satisfactory answer.

Whoever did it, he's dead!

Zhao Lin's only worry was that with Cao Zhengchun's strength, if this murderer was a great grandmaster above the fifth grade, Cao Zhengchun might not be able to deal with it.

......

The western suburbs of Beijing.

It's a vast open space.

It originally belonged to the royal hunting ground.

And now, this land has been assigned to the Academy of Sciences by Zhao Lin, and this place has become a place where the Academy of Sciences specializes in the study of steam engines.

This open space is a flat river.

In the middle of the clearing, there was a tricycle.

This tricycle is a steam locomotive developed by Liu Ji based on the creativity provided by Zhao Lin.

However, he only built a mold, but he did not succeed in getting the steam locomotive running.

At this time, Liu Ji was carefully looking at the drawings in Zhao Lin's hand.

Looking for what he lacks.

His Majesty's soul painting has only reference meaning.

The parts of this steam locomotive can only be studied by himself.

There must have been a lack of important parts, otherwise the locomotive would not have been unable to move.

"What went wrong?"

Jumping off the locomotive, Liu Ji's brows furrowed into a Sichuan shape.

In the past few days, he forgot to sleep and eat, and devoted himself to the research and development of this steam locomotive.

Because His Majesty uses him so much!

He can't live up to His Majesty's expectations!

In order to make this steam locomotive run, Liu Ji even wanted to bald.
