The entire city of Chang'an was awakened by the sound of explosions.

The first to arrive was Si Tianjian's Meng Laowei.

As soon as the explosion sounded, his figure appeared near the altar of the Imperial City.

He stood suspended in the air, his qi enveloping his body, forming a shield against unknown dangers.

The site has become a scorched earth, the built ancestral hall is gone, and the horizontal wood and rubble are scattered everywhere.

He circled the field and found no anomalies.

Then.

Slowly descend on the scorched earth.

Meng Lao Wei turned his fingers into a sword, pointed at the place where the ancestral hall was originally erected, and a golden disc appeared out of thin air.

Obscure characters appeared on the discs, and golden streams crossed each other.

Less.

Those characters that were originally incomprehensible gradually formed into four large characters.

The moment the big characters appeared, Meng Laowei received his magical powers, sighed, and was about to leave.

"Lord Meng, please stay!"

I saw a female Taoist, covering her face with a light veil, riding a white deer, coming in the sky.

After landing, the white deer disappears.

She wears a purple and gold crown and a gray Taoist robe, and the Buddha dust stands upside down, which is otherworldly.

Slim figure, temperament, in the world, has come out of the five elements, a rare beauty in the world.

She is the empress and is regarded as the national teacher Wu Wan'er.

The royal family has been learning Taoism since childhood for 20 years.

She is extremely talented, and in just fifteen years, she has stepped into the second-grade Mahayana realm, inherited her master's mantle, and has a high status in the Dao system, and is currently impacting the first-grade Dao divine realm.

Then, it was her first tribulation.

"Did Master Meng see anything?"

Meng Lao Wei said with a smile: "No, it seems that it was a man-made explosion, and someone is preventing His Majesty from sacrificing." ”

Wu Wan'er frowned, sniffed, and did not smell the smell of sulfur, but the existence of the demon clan's qi.

"It's him, isn't it?"

No one knows who they are talking about.

Only they know in their hearts who he is?

Meng Lao Wei sighed heavily and said, "I don't know." ”

After speaking, Da Shan left and disappeared abruptly.

Then.

The forty-five-year-old female emperor arrived surrounded by eunuchs and forbidden soldiers.

Her face was very ugly at the sight of a pile of charred rubble.

Wu Wan'er said, "Lord Jianzheng has just come. ”

"Hmm!" The Empress snorted, "Did he leave anything behind?" ”

"He said that it was a man-made explosion, and it was intended to prevent His Majesty from worshipping his ancestors."

"Tsing Yi Society?"

"At present, there are no clues, and all the guards and prisoners at the scene were killed."

"Xuan Lutong, Ouyang Zan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Zhang Shouren, the secretary of Dali Temple, entered the hall."

As soon as the words fell, a team of eunuchs hurried out of the palace.

……

Lu Tong was drinking afternoon tea in Yanyutai.

Merlin's Matu tea is a little bitter, but it has the special effect of refreshing and refreshing the heart, clearing away heat and relieving heat, and eliminating food and phlegm.

It is best drunk during this season.

Lu Tong liked it the most.

Liang Lidong and Xiao Xiangzi accompanied.

Suddenly.

Explosions were heard in the inner city.

The three of them were shocked.

"Father-in-law, this ......"

Lu Tong was old and strong, smiled slightly, and said, "The opportunity is here, follow me into the palace." ”

Lu Tong took the white-faced Langjun Liang Lidong and the heroic Xiao Xiangzi to the gate of the imperial city early to wait.

Every time a major event happens, it will cause a shock in the court.

It was unfortunate for the emperor, but for the ministers, it was a good time to bring down the opponent.

When Lu Tong arrived, many dignitaries had already gathered at the gate of the imperial city.

In addition to Cui Qi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, all the six Shangshu were in place, and the governors of the three provinces were holding their hands and sleeping on the ground.

The chauffeur and the guards parked the car and the sedan chair to the side and farted each other, and they looked in a good mood.

A group of eunuchs trotted out of the palace gate, and when they saw the adults waiting, they gasped and announced the decree.

"With the secret saucer, Si Lutong. Ouyang Zan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Zhang Shouren, the secretary of Dali Temple, came to see him in the imperial study! ”

The old eunuch's voice dragged on for a long time, and with the trot just now, the qi was exhausted, and after reciting the holy decree, he fell to the ground.

The people who were announced did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed the eunuch into the palace.

The rest of the people rescued the old eunuch.

Even though they didn't pronounce their names, they knew in their hearts what was going on.

"Man-made explosions."

The old gang vegetables exchanged glances with each other.

Some are snickering, some are frowning, but they haven't left.

Cai Cheng, the secretary of the ministry, asked: "What about Cui Qi, the secretary of the ministry?" Lu Ning, who will be a master craftsman, did not come! ”

"Afraid of being responsible, ran away, right?"

"Most likely, haven't you noticed that Cui Qi, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, has been a little abnormal in the past few days?"

"Which one exactly?"

"There are fewer words, and I am not enthusiastic with people, and I am cold."

"Hiss-" Chen Jun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, gasped, "It can't be that you can't get out of bed, right?" ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu is in charge of the Department of Education, and the day before yesterday he just sent a girl in her early twenties to Cui Qi.

Everyone knew the hobby of the Ministry of Works, and exchanged glances silently.

Shang Shuling coughed lightly, and the conversation came to an abrupt end.

……

The Imperial Study.

Lu Tong, Ouyang Zan, and Zhang Shouren stood solemnly.

The Empress sat down on the soft floor, took a sip of the tea handed by the maid, and turned to spit on the gua held by the other maid

pots.

After cleaning his hands and wiping them clean, he asked, "Do you know everything?" ”

Ouyang Zan replied: "There are some hearsay, but the specific matter is not yet clear. ”

The little eunuch who was waiting by the side took over the conversation and recounted what had happened at the altar.

The three ministers' eyebrows moved slightly, and they all gasped.

Even though you already know the truth of the matter, you have to pretend to be shocked.

The intent of the performance is obvious.

The first is to exonerate the crime, indicating that it has nothing to do with himself.

The second is to regret, expressing regret that the empress was unable to worship her ancestors at the specified time.

"What do you think about the three of you?"

Lu Tong was silent.

Ouyang Zan continued: "I am afraid that it was done by the members of the Tsing Yi Society, who are committed to opposing His Majesty's accession to the throne as their life's work. ”

The Empress heard about the Tsing Yi Society for the second time.

The first to raise doubts was the national teacher.

"Does Lu Aiqing have anything to say?"

Lao Tzu wanted to say, but the time was not ripe...... Lu Tong said: "Back to Your Majesty, the old minister reserves his opinion, and he cannot determine the perpetrator for the time being, and speculation will only make things unobjective." ”

The Empress nodded in agreement.

Ouyang Zan had already scolded Lu Tong's eight-generation ancestors in his heart...... Lao Tzu has just made a judgment, you will dismantle the stage, no wonder you deserve to be a yin person in this life.

Zhang Shouren, the secretary of Dali Temple, said: "Such a big thing happened, and the Ministry of Industry Shangshu and the master craftsman who will be the supervisor did not show up, will it have anything to do with them?"

After all, the Imperial City Altar is heavily guarded, so if you want to blend in, how easy is it? ”

The empress frowned and asked, "You mean to say that the guards are stealing themselves?" ”

Ouyang Zan immediately picked up the conversation: "It's close to the truth, otherwise it would be difficult to explain the mystery of the disappearance of the Ministry of Works." ”

The empress pondered for a moment and glanced at Lu Tong.

Lu Tong did not say anything.

Thereupon.

The order said: "The Criminal Department immediately launched an investigation into this case, and the time limit is three days, step down!" ”

Ouyang Zan spoke actively, in order to get the right to hear the case.

He thinks it's a thing. The Ministry of Industry is inseparable from the master craftsman who will be the supervisor.

"Yes! It will live up to His Majesty's trust. ”
