The night is getting deeper, the day is coming to an end, and a new day is coming.

The wind at night is gradually becoming a little gloomy, and if you think about it carefully, spring is coming to an end

In the harem, many palaces are also gradually lit with candles. Fangfu Palace is no exception.

Yujiao carried the lamp and walked into the palace, the hair on her face was blown a little messy, she approached the desk and added a light. looked at Wang Yu still lying at his desk copying scriptures.

I couldn't help but say, "Niangniang, why don't you rest." Since you came back in the morning, you haven't rested. “

Wang Yu's head didn't raise and said, "If it's not in the way, if you can't finish copying it, it's not good for my sister." “

Yujiao pouted and said, "Niangniang, you are kind." Even if you finish copying, the concubine who won't see you will thank you. “

"Yujiao. Wang Yu raised his face and reprimanded: "My sister has left home since she was a child, and it is understandable that she has a point with me. Anyway, she is my sister, and in the palace, only the two of us support each other. If I don't help her, who will help her? Yujiao, in the future, you will say less such things, so as not to be heard. “

"Yes, sis. Yujiao blessed her body, and her mouth seemed to admit her mistake, but in her eyes, there was no repentance at all.

"Go down, I'll copy some more. “

"Yes, sis. Yujiao nodded and exited the palace. I didn't forget to cover the door too.

Wang Yu sighed, looking at the not a small number of scriptures in front of him, but after thinking about it, he seemed to think of something, and couldn't help but say to himself: "If it can really be stable for a long time, this scripture is worth it." After speaking, he couldn't help but smile. In her heart, there seemed to be someone, something, in her supporters, she was full of energy again, and once again she lifted the pen, and the delicate and fair font fell on the platinum paper.

In the Tai'an Palace, bright lights filled every inch of the Tai'an Palace, driving away the darkness.

Long Xiang's hand couldn't help but rest on his forehead, and his fingers touched the handle of the dragon chair. The clawless dragon totem on its back meandered upward, looking at the sky with intently eyes.

Wang Yi took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry, at least, we already know Xixuan's movements." “

Long Xiao said hoarsely: "Indeed, Xixuan's purpose, obviously, is the next eighth year of the first month. Is what you said about nitrate and copper true?"

Wang Yi paused, and said with care: "Back to the emperor, that day, the minister did smell the smell of nitrate copper. But the minister is not sure. “

"If it's really nitrate, it's not easy. Long Xiang slowly opened his eyes: "Xixuan is rich in ore. The previous copper nitrate was almost purchased from Xixuan, and it was also official, and no one was allowed to sell copper nitrate privately. Copper nitrate appeared in the Taiping Imperial City, which was a hidden danger that could explode at any time. “

"The minister also knows. Copper nitrate has a lot of effects, the copper nitrate of Xixuan, a small amount, can be used as medicine, if it is a large amount, it can be used as gunpowder. The power of the explosion is not small, and the smoke is poisonous, and if a person hears it for a long time, he will die! However, the smell of nitrate and copper is obvious, and if it is really comprehensively investigated, it should not be difficult to find, but in order to prevent confusion among the people, it must only be found secretly. “

Long Xiang nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. It's just that Lord Jing of Si Bingfu died mysteriously, and Si Xingfu's people are also secretly investigating. Moreover, the eighth day of the first lunar month is approaching, and many foreign ministers have also come to Anyang City, so these things must be found out before the eighth day of the next lunar month. You only have less than ten days left, Wang Yi!"

Wang Yi thought for a moment and said: "Emperor, the acting Fu Si of the soldier Fu, the minister, there is a person who recommends it, presumably that person can also help to find out where the nitrate and copper are as soon as possible." “

"Oh, who?" said Long Xiang curiously.

"Hai Pingsheng, the current squire of the soldiers. Wang Yi said.

Walking in the dark, in front of the carriage, there is always a light. Maybe it's to see the road, maybe it's to be able to see yourself more clearly. Walking on the road, I could hear the sound of the glass lampshade touching the frame of the carriage.

Wang Yi's carriage slowly stopped in front of the courtyard, and Wang Liang was already waiting for Wang Yi at the gate of the courtyard when he saw the carriage stop.

Wang Liang trotted to the side of the carriage and helped Wang Yi jump out of the carriage.

At this time, in the darkness next to him, a neutral voice suddenly came.

"Lord Wang. Wang Yi looked up, he recognized the voice, because this morning, they had just met.

Wang Yi wrapped his shawl and looked at Wang Liang, Wang Liang shrunk his shoulders and said, "Lord Hai has been waiting for a while. “

Wang Yi nodded, and said to Hai Pingsheng: "If you are Lord Hai, don't dislike it, let's talk about it in the house." “

Hai Pingsheng looked at the soldiers around the carriage, nodded, and said, "Then it will bother Lord Wang Yi." “

"Lord Hai is polite, if you don't dislike it, I can call Lord Hai Brother Hai?"

"Haha, then you're welcome, Brother Wang. “

"Brother Hai, please. “

"Please. “

In the room, Wang Liang added two cups of strong green tea, and the stove next to him made the sound of flame flashing, Wang Yi opened his mouth: "Brother Hai, I visited today, I don't know what?" Wang Yi held the warm green tea in both hands and asked with a smile.

Hai Pingsheng was silent for a moment and said, "Brother Wang, I just came from the emperor." Presumably Brother Wang also knew about Lord Jing. “

Wang Yi nodded and said, "The emperor has told me, and the matter of Lord Jing has also been handed over to Si Xingfu." Lord Hai, are you here for Lord Jing's affairs?"

"Yes and no. I'm just a squire, and I don't know what Lord Jing is investigating, but on weekdays, Lord Jing is a good official, and although he doesn't have too many merits, he won't be an irresponsible official. I suspect that he was rashly victimized this time. Hai Pingsheng paused.

Wang Yi said: "I also heard that Lord Jing's body was found by his cronies. In the afternoon, Jing Dacai had just made an appointment with Wang Lao, but unexpectedly, he was found and died in the office. “

"Therefore, I suspect that Lord Jing's victimization has something to do with what he investigated. Hai Pingsheng seemed to have made some decision, said.

"But the man is dead and nowhere to be found. “

"Nope. Hai Pingsheng took out a piece of paper from his arms, the handwriting on it was messy, and many strokes couldn't fit together. It can be seen that it was either written in a panic, or it was written without reading the words. From the many strokes that have been temporarily broken, we can know that this word is not completely finished!

Wang Yi glanced at it, his face changed, and he looked up at Hai Pingsheng.

Hai Pingsheng said: "This is what I found in the desk where Lord Jing was killed, and it was mixed with blank letterhead. “

"This word, it can't be done, it is written. “

"Nitrate copper!" Hai Pingsheng interface, facing the dim lights, his eyes were blazing!
