Leaving the imperial study, Cheng Run breathed a sigh of relief, but there was no sense of relief in his heart.

The emperor's words are all good, and he secretly sent someone to investigate, and gave him the evidence when the time came.

If this is really the case, then I am afraid that as soon as this matter is over, I am afraid that I will be killed.

Without it, just because he knows a secret that he shouldn't know, this matter must not rely on the people on the emperor's side.

He has to check and find evidence by himself to prove his worth.

Only in this way can you live.

……

The statue of Guanyin was built at the Suzaku Gate, which is closer to the dormitory where the Queen Mother lives, and the location chosen is extremely good.

As long as the Queen Mother goes out in the morning, she can see the statue of Guanyin bathed in the morning light, which can be described as ingenious.

Cheng Runnian was led over by the eunuch, and when he got closer, he found that the scene was surrounded by many royal forest soldiers.

"Stop, forbidden ground ahead, don't approach."

Seeing Cheng Runnian walking towards this side, he immediately walked out and two people stopped him.

When Zhang Lian heard this, he immediately reprimanded: "Bold, this is the person appointed by the emperor to investigate the case, you should also stop it?" ”

Naturally, they knew Zhang Lian, but they had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Father-in-law, Your Majesty has an order, no one is allowed to approach, and we just act according to the order." ”

Zhang Lian seemed to be even more angry, and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Cheng Runnian.

Time is urgent, so don't waste it on this kind of thing.

Cheng Runnian directly took out the jade pendant, this jade pendant was engraved with a five-clawed golden dragon, which was the emperor's thing, and when the two of them saw it, their faces changed immediately and they knelt down.

"Knock on the emperor!"

Emperor? Cheng Runnian was a little surprised, it seems that this jade pendant is not small, and it can be like the emperor in person.

"Get up, now I'm going to go in and have a look, okay?"

"Your Excellency, please." The two guards got up and got out of the way, not daring to stop them.

Cheng Runnian called Zhang Lian at this time, Zhang Lian glared at the two guards, but he didn't continue to say anything, and followed Cheng Runnian in.

After entering, I found that the scene was in a mess, apparently after the collapse of the Guanyin statue that day, it was not cleaned up.

It's really rare that people in this era can still have the awareness of protecting the scene.

Next to him, Zhang Lian introduced Cheng Runnian endlessly.

"My lord, please see, that is where the Guanyin statue was built, and this is the Guanyin Terrace, which is the place where the Queen Mother burns incense and praises the Buddha on weekdays.

Cheng Runnian looked along Zhang Lian's point, and sure enough, he saw a room, but now the house has collapsed by a small half, and he can still see half of the huge Guanyin's head falling there.

This Guanyin head is really big, even if it is broken in half, it is still much higher than Cheng Runnian, and it is estimated that the head of the entire Guanyin statue must be about five meters.

The head-to-body ratio of the person is about one to seven, so the entire height of the Guanyin statue should be about thirty-five meters, and the official statue also has a lotus seat, which together is close to forty meters.

Forty meters high, it has to be a thirteen-story residential building, in fact, the entire Guanyin statue is almost the same as a residential building, which shows how big this Guanyin statue is.

It is really unimaginable that such a huge project would have cost manpower and effort to build such a huge statue of Guanyin without the help of modern machinery.

After looking at it for a while, Cheng Runnian looked at the pile of debris on the ground, and suddenly his pupils shrank, and he couldn't help asking: "This Guanyin statue is actually hollow?" ”

Zhang Lian, who was next to him, heard this and explained with a smile: "Naturally, it is hollow, otherwise how heavy this big solid stone must be, how can it be transported." ”

Not to mention how to transport it, it is extremely difficult to find such a large complete stone, and it is naturally hollow.

"But why is the Guanyin head solid?" Cheng Runnian pointed to Guanyin's head over there and asked.

This is completely unscientific, the body is hollow, but the head is solid, such a huge weight is pressed on it, and the body of the Guanyin statue below is spliced together, once it is slightly loosened, it has to collapse the end.

Even if you're not a craftsman, you should know this.

"This slave doesn't know, this matter is supervised by the Ministry of Works, if you want to know, you have to ask the Ministry of Works." Zhang Lian said.

Cheng Runnian frowned suddenly, thought for a while, and asked, "Is there a construction plan for this Guanyin statue?" ”

"This is naturally there, stored in the Ministry of Industry, if you want to see it, then you have to go to the Ministry of Industry to find it."

Cheng Runnian didn't answer immediately, after all, now he moved to the Ministry of Industry, and he didn't know how much time he would waste.

"I don't know if my father-in-law can take it for me."

Zhang Lian hesitated, but did not dare to refuse, and left in response.

After that, Cheng Runnian carefully explored the scene, and to be honest, there was not much to see, basically all of them were gravel all over the ground.

In the Kannon Terrace, you can still see smashed seats, and there are some blood stains on the ground.

Obviously, the emperor did not have an accident, but it does not mean that the palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting next to them did not, it seems that this incident still caused some casualties.

After a careful inspection, but there was nothing to gain, and finally Cheng Runnian walked towards the lotus platform, intending to see the structure above.

This lotus platform is more than two meters high, Cheng Runnian climbed up with some effort, only to find that on the lotus platform, there are six broken wooden pillars.

It turns out that the weight of the head of Guanyin is carried by these six pillars, and as long as these six pillars are continuous, the statue of Guanyin will not be couched.

Of course, it must be broken now.

Cheng Runnian circled around the six broken wooden stakes, and then stopped somewhere, facing the wooden stakes and Guanyin Terrace.

And the location of the Guanyin platform is exactly between two wooden stakes.

"It turns out that this is the case, you only need to break the four in front and leave the two wooden stakes in the back to control the direction of the collapse of the Guanyin statue."

But the strange thing is why six.

According to the size of this Guanyin statue, four load-bearing pillars are enough, and six are here, but it is slightly crowded, after all, the Guanyin statue is only high, and it is not a large internal space.

And in terms of function, four load-bearing sticks are completely sufficient, and two more are simply a waste of material.

Even if you want to be safer, you should add eight, two at one corner, and six stakes, but any deviation in position will lead to imbalance, but increase the risk of collapse.

Although the ancients did not understand the principles of mechanics, they were all craftsmen who had been passed down from generation to generation, and these truths made him say that he might not be able to say them, but he should also know them.

In normal times, this problem is actually not a problem, more than enough, but here, it seems a little delicate.

At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of a trot, and Zhang Lian came back.
