When the official heard this, his heart throbbed, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he looked very nervous, and he kept panting.

He lowered his voice and said, "When I was watching this, I didn't understand it,"

"However, after I looked through some information, I had a new guess!"

Li Huaiyun asked with a little curiosity, "What speculation?" ”

The official looked around for a moment, then raised his head, folded his hands, and bowed to the sky, muttering two words in his mouth, this matter he was going to rot in his stomach, after all, it involved some secrets, but he didn't dare to say it casually.

However, the other party is his benefactor, and he still has to help with this favor.

"Princess, this son, this matter can't be spread around, I hope to keep it a secret for me!"

The two of them nodded.

The official said with a serious face, "In fact, during the construction of the sewer, there was a period of time when there were many landslides!" This greatly affected the progress of the construction and even caused some deaths. ”

"So some people speculated whether digging deep would destroy the feng shui of this place, or something ominous was coming, and in the following period, the project could not be built as scheduled, but somehow, some people still died inside,"

"Surprisingly, after a few days, the sewer project went ahead as scheduled and went quite smoothly."

Li Huaiyun gasped, he knew what he meant.

"I wonder if those who died were being used as stakes!"

"Raw pile!" When Mu Kite heard this, she immediately had some thoughts in her heart, she was a student of mechanical arts, so she knew some history of architecture, "Are you sure it's true?" ”

The official immediately shook his hand, "Not sure!" Up in the air! In the next is also just speculation. ”

Li Huaiyun listened to the tone of the wooden kite, as if he knew something, so he asked curiously, "What is this so-called raw pile?" ”

"This is a superstitious term in architectural historiography, also known as human stakes and meat stakes. ”

"It's said that when a certain building is unsustainable, it can be completed safely through this kind of sacrifice-like method, and it is rumored that this thing is still very effective!"

"But the process was so cruel! Therefore, the law of the Great Zhou Dynasty believes that it is recognized as a crime and is a felony, and if this happens, the leader will be executed by Ling Chi. ”

"This is too," Li Huaiyun pinched his chin, with his modern knowledge, he knew that this thing must be unreliable, "Treating people as stones and pouring them into piles will make the building more brittle and unstable." ”

The official whispered in a slightly trembling voice, "But you can't be sure that these things are fake!" Importantly, the subsequent construction process went quite smoothly. ”

Wood Kite knows a little about this, but she believes this statement, "There is no construction progress, but it also consumes materials, and the craftsmen die in the sewers, so it is very likely." ”

When Li Huaiyun heard this, he felt that it was really possible, he pondered for a moment, if this thing is true, then on the rock wall of the sewer, there are those rune papers, is it hidden in it?

But the place on the rock wall is very small, how can it be that people are in it? Could it be that this human pile is to shatter the human body, and then...!

As soon as he thought of this, he felt physiologically unwell, shook his head again and again, and even had a little acid reflux in his stomach, nausea and wanted to vomit.

Li Huaiyun looked at the wooden kite and asked, "Will this place where the stake is made sticky with rune paper?" ”

"Quite possibly! Those who are living piles, they are blind to death, and in the extremely yin environment, it is easy to turn into a powerful ghost, and when the time comes, there will be no peace in the surrounding area, and some people will go to the temple to ask for talisman paper to suppress this resentment! ”

"The raw pile doesn't have to be stuffed into the whole person!"

"Of course, but it's better to be whole, or to divide the corpses and mix them up."

The wooden kite waved his hand, "Alright! All right! Don't talk about that! I feel sick just thinking about it. ”

Li Huaiyun thought for a while, "Since the location of this raw pile is the center of the building, it means that someone uses a special way to protect the raw pile, just to prevent people from approaching and avoiding anyone from discovering the unusual things about this place." ”

"You're right," the official said softly, "the location of this stake is the key, after all, the impact of destroying the stake is immeasurable, let alone in the palace." ”

Li Huaiyun frowned, and after a while, there was a look of sudden realization on his face, and he roughly guessed the true purpose of this.

Thinking of the fact that before, I met the black-robed man in that courtyard, and the black-robed man had said that he had the opportunity to recommend himself as the emperor, which also clearly implied that they just wanted to directly attack the palace and change the dynasty!

And the means of attack is that they destroy the raw piles at a certain time, causing the sewers to collapse, and the collapse will cause chaos in the palace.

That's why we should keep the stake and not let people discover the secret!

As for why the monster was raised, it is still incomprehensible.

He pursed his lips, his expression was extremely solemn, this guy cooperated with monsters, and he actually wanted to attack the imperial city directly, what is the identity of this black-robed man, why does he hate Da Zhou so much?

Li Huaiyun still had some doubts about his judgment in his heart, after all, this is the Kyoto of the Great Zhou Dynasty, both inside and outside the city, there are troops stationed, and the palace is heavily guarded, plus the Demon Slaying Division, it is impossible to gather a large number of demons to attack the imperial city.

But all the clues at the moment are showing one problem, these people really plan to make some moves in the imperial city.

This man is so bold! He couldn't have imagined anything like this.

Li Huai clapped his hands with force and shouted loudly to the others, "Then we must find the location of the palace as soon as possible." ”

"What do you think of?" The wooden kite saw that anxious look on his face.

"Da Zhou is in trouble!"

"Ahh Wood Kite's brain buzzed, and she hurriedly asked, "What's so difficult!" ”

"Someone wants to use this sewer to attack the Imperial City."

Mu Kite didn't believe it very much, and felt that this thing was impossible, "What are you kidding, I don't want to think about how many troops are stationed in Kyoto, and there are also demon slaying divisions, division officials, and other Ouchi masters!" ”

"That black-robed man has been planning for so long, he must have thought about these things a long time ago! Isn't it just that he was able to infiltrate the palace to show this problem! ”

Mu Kite thought for a moment, felt that his words were still very reasonable, and began to panic a little in his heart, "Then what am I going to do now?" ”

"Since you want to destroy the human pile, let's find out the specific location of the human pile first!"

Li Huaiyun looked at the other cabinets, and then asked the official behind him, "There should be a plan of the palace here, right?" ”

"Yes!" The official responded positively, and he walked over to another cabinet and took down the book with the plan of the palace, which he handed over quite respectfully,

He knew that this was a rare opportunity, and he heard this person say that if someone wanted to attack the imperial city, if he could help, there would be a great reward at that time, and he might be able to leave here.

Therefore, he knew that the requirement for Li Huaiyun was to do his best, and he gave his current life, without him, he might not be able to escape death.

Li Huaiyun opened the floor plan, and then according to the entrance of the sewer, how many steps had been taken, how much distance he had walked, how long the rock wall was from the ditch, and all the circumstances, he deduced the approximate location of the human pile of the sewer.

This result, which surprised him slightly, was actually in the bedroom of Mu Kite's mother.

Combined with some of the previous clues, the sulfur in the armory, the charcoal in the courtyard, the saltpeter on the walls of the dormitory! It dawned on him that he had finally guessed part of the plan.

These guys are really quite patient, and everything is very separated, which seems confusing, but in fact they are prepared!!

Seeing that the man had not spoken for a long time, the wooden kite opened his mouth again and asked, "What's the situation, what have you thought of?" ”

Li Huaiyun couldn't help but sigh, "Those guys' goal is your mother's dormitory." ”

"Ahh The wooden kite looked at him with a surprised look on his face, and spread his hands, "Destroy my mother's dormitory!" Could it be that the location of the human stake! ”

"It's your mother's bedroom, and the charred locust tree can also be used to make charcoal powder."

"If we don't see through this plan, then what they have to do is to put together the charred locust trees, saltpeter and sulfur, and then place them in the corresponding places, directly blow up the rock wall, pour the raw piles, and then take advantage of the civil strife in the palace, and take the opportunity to let people or monsters kill into the palace."

The look of astonishment on the official's face was shocked, and he waved his arms lightly and shouted loudly, "These people are so bold! ”

"Yes! It's disgusting! The wooden kite also chimed in, "However, why hasn't the Demon Slayer found any trace of the monster at all!" ”

"It's our carelessness!" Li Huaiyun blamed himself a little, "At that time, in the room of the military department official, if you find that string of jade carvings, you should pay attention to prevent this kind of jade carving with a confusing atmosphere." ”

He sighed, "At that time, I should have reminded Si Zheng and Mu Kite to study this jade carving in time." ”

"Is it too late now?"

"It's not too late! At least we should be one step ahead of now! ”

The wooden kite immediately shouted loudly, "Then get out quickly!" Be sure to destroy their plans. ”

When the official heard this, he immediately perked up, and he knew that his opportunity had come, and if he were to be told to do so, he would surely be credited with a great deal if the time came to catch those who had made a disturbance.

He turned to the gate and immediately clenched his fists, "I'll go and tell the emperor right away!" ”

As soon as he took a few steps, he was stopped by Li Huaiyun!

"Wait a minute! This is not a trivial matter, and it is not a good thing that you are so impatient to ask for credit! In case the emperor asks about the specific situation, and you won't answer, how should you respond? ”

After the official stopped, he couldn't stand still, and he didn't understand it, he wanted to take this opportunity too much to behave well!

"I'll just say that the princess guessed with you, and that's not okay?"

"Of course not!" Li Huaiyun said, "First, this is just speculation, and second, I don't know if there is a black-robed person around the emperor. ”

"You take the liberty to tell the emperor like this, in case the other party knows, he will give you a surprise!"
