Xu Qi'an soon arrived at the bottom of the lake, his eyes were full of clear air, like two small light bulbs in the dark.

The bottom of the water is piled up with silt, and the stone pillars are arranged in a unique pattern with the foundation of the white marble platform, and the high platform is guarded in the center.

This seems to be some kind of formation .... Xu Qi'an guessed in his heart.

In Dafeng Capital, only the warlock of Si Tianjian can arrange the formation, that is to say, Si Tianjian also participated in the construction of the Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple back then.

From this, it can be inferred that in addition to the current saint, there is also the bad old man who is in charge of Sambo's secrets..... So, is it true that the prison is sick? Or is it because of the collapse of the Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple?

Hiss.... What secrets are hidden here?

The forces that plot Sangbo's secrets and the thieves who destroy the mountains and rivers temple in Yongzhen are definitely king-level ranks..... I have a small gong mixed in, and I feel that I will be affected by the fairy fight at any time....

Even if I can find out the truth, will the royal family tolerate me?

Thinking of this, Xu Qi'an's heart was heavy.

"Wei Yuan has already pointed me the way, and when I encounter unsolvable troubles, I will notify the yamen and inform Yang Jinluo.... The hint is obvious enough, I'm just a pathfinder, a hound. It's really not good, I'm a big deal to fake my death and get out of the capital. ”

As thoughts flickered, he paddled his limbs toward the nearest stone pillar to him.

The surface of the pillar is carved with twisted, odd tadpole writing.

Xu Qi'an probably saw that this was some kind of writing, which could not be interpreted due to the limited level of education. He memorized a few words.

After examining a few more stone pillars and discovering the same text, deep-sea phobia prompted Xu Qi'an to leave the dark bottom of the lake.

In the silent, deep water, he always had a pair of cold eyes staring at him behind him, or a huge black shadow in the darkness ahead.

Xu Qi'an got out of the water, returned to the boat, inserted the black gold long knife in his mouth back into the scabbard, and luckily steamed the lake water.

Wisps of steam rise.

Li Yuchun stared at him in surprise, this kid was promoted to the Qi Cultivation Realm in his hands, how long has it been, and the Qi has been so strong?

"Your qi machine doesn't look like a new Qi Cultivation Realm. Li Yuchun was puzzled.

"I just meditate for two hours a day. Xu Qi'an's innocent expression.

Brother Chun waved his hand, unwilling to talk about anything more on this topic, and looked at Yang Yinluo, and said: "The surname Yang is not convinced by you, I just came up to analyze the underwater situation with us, and I have gained something." And say, if your analysis is the same as his, he will be convinced.

"Everyone is a team, there is no need to hide it. ”

The tall and thin Yang Feng smiled and did not refute.

Xu Qi'an glanced at Min Shan, who had a beard, who didn't speak, but stared at Xu Qi'an, waiting for him to speak.

Xu Qi'an rolled his eyes: "From the fracture of the high platform, it can be inferred that the blasting point is in the temple, not under the water. In addition, most of the gunpowder was hidden in the temple after the ancestor worship ceremony. It is no more than an hour before the end of the ancestor worship ceremony. ”

"If it was hidden in the temple in advance, the smell of gunpowder was strong, and His Majesty would definitely smell it when he entered the temple at that time. There is only a chance after the ancestor worship is over. Go and arrest the errand in charge of the finishing, the officials of Dali Temple, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and interrogate them one by one, you will do this Yang Yingong.

"In addition, notify the yamen and ask Your Majesty to ask a few of the white clothes of the Si Tianjian to come and cooperate in handling the case. Boss, you can do it. Well, I'm going to ask Miss Caiwei from Si Tianjian to help me.

"Min Yinluo, you follow me to the Ministry of Industry, and I want the entry and exit records of the gunpowder factory. With such a large amount of gunpowder, it is impossible to smuggle it out. ”

After a pause, he added, "But before we do that, we must first look at the bones of the sacrificed soldiers. ”

The three Yinluo looked at each other, and found that this little brother was quite reliable, the task was arranged in an orderly manner, the thinking was clear, and the logic was meticulous.

Ask yourself, if you were them, it is estimated that you would not be able to give such a clear and clear direction so quickly, and you would have to think for a long time to clear your mind.

The corpses were collected in the barracks, and the forbidden army led them to a tent, and when the curtain was lifted, inside was a corpse covered with a white cloth.

The same corpses were found in the two large tents nearby, and the soldiers patrolling near Sambo this time, a total of 312 people, were all killed.

Xu Qi'an lifted the white cloth and looked at the tragic condition of each corpse.

"Will you still conduct an autopsy?" Yang Feng saw that his expression was getting more and more serious, and couldn't help but ask, "What did you find?"

"Discover a big thing. ”

"You say. The three silver gongs were in high spirits, and even the little leader of the forbidden army who led the way also looked over.

Xu Qi'an said slowly: "I found that I was just a small gong, and when I encountered a battle, I had to work hard with three adults." ”

All the soldiers died in the same way, they were all sucked dry by some kind of demonic method, and there were no other wounds on their bodies.

This method is not something that can be dealt with by the Qi Cultivation Realm.

When the time comes, if he really encounters a thief, Xu Qi'an can only wave his hand: Rush me!

Stay behind yourself.

.....

Xu Qi'an rushed to the Ministry of Industry with Min Shan, and there was a gold medal to open the way, unimpeded.

He sought out the official in charge of the gunpowder factory and said, "This official wants to check the records of the production and use of gunpowder in the past month." ”

Ledgers are easy to falsify, and one of the most common methods is to exaggerate usage. For example, to make a batch of shells, only two hundred kilograms of gunpowder are needed, but when it is recorded, it is written as three hundred kilograms.

Another example is the manufacture of gunpowder, the raw materials transported can make 200 kilograms of gunpowder, but the amount of raw materials is deliberately written as small, so that the excess gunpowder can be kept private.

But none of these methods can withstand investigation, and there are clues to any crime.

Xu Qi'an did not trust the officials of the Ministry of Industry, so he sent people to fight the Yamen to transfer his own officials, and dozens of people poured into the Ministry of Industry.

This is a cumbersome process and a lot of work, because you also have to go to the raw material collection site to collect evidence and verify.

....

After having lunch in the Ministry of Industry, Xu Qi'an sat comfortably on the big chair and picked his teeth, watching the officials and gongs busy.

Yang Feng, who was in charge of investigating the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Rites, and the palace errand, sent someone back to report the news.

"Three officials from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Rites are missing, and three people from the palace are missing. The gong who told the news said.

In the palace, eunuchs with relatively low status are called errands. Usually do odd jobs.

"When did you go missing?" Xu Qi'an sat up straight, instantly breaking free from his lazy state.

"The people involved in the end of the ancestor worship ceremony were all detained by the criminal department and the government government, and they refused to hand over to us. Tong Gong said helplessly: "Yang Yinluo is confronting the people of the Criminal Department, and there is a stalemate. ”

"Dare to fight with us and rob people?" Xu Qi'an raised his eyebrows.

Although it is still a shallow time to join the watchman, it has been contaminated with the arrogance of the watchman.

Tong Luo explained: "The Criminal Department and the government have also received orders from His Majesty to investigate the case. It's all the emperor's order, so you won't be afraid of us. Yang Yinluo did not have the gold medal on his body, so the villain hurried to inform the adults. ”

Usually, the position of the emperor is higher than that of other yamen, but there is an exception, that is, the emperor decrees.

"Let's go, go over and ask for someone!" Xu Qi'an blew up.

It is not surprising that the emperor let the criminal department and the government get involved in this case at the same time, many major cases are investigated by many parties, and a single yamen has limited manpower, and it is difficult to invest all manpower and material resources to deal with other matters.

The benefits of multi-party joint investigation are obvious, but the disadvantages are equally obvious, that is, to grab credit!

"For me, it's not that I'm fine if the Sambo case is solved, I have to make a decisive contribution to this case, so that the court can exempt me from the death penalty. Whoever dares to obstruct my handling of the case will not be polite!"

When it comes to his family's life, Xu Qi'an did not delay, grabbed the black and gold long knife on the table, looked around at the officials, and said loudly:

"You and others continued to investigate the case, and thoroughly investigated all the production, consumption and other records from the middle of the year to the present, and found out the clues, and each person was rewarded with 20 taels of silver. ”

As the organizer, he has the power to give a certain reward, and the reward is given by the yamen of the watchman.

The officials who came from the yamen of the watchman all had their eyes shining.

Twenty taels of silver, worth half a year's worth of them.

Leaving the officials, Xu Qi'an took the silver gong Min Shan and the rest of the gongs, hurriedly left the Ministry of Works, rode a fast horse, and rushed to the Criminal Department.

The Criminal Department was not far away, and before he could whip up a stick of incense, Xu Qi'an saw the red lacquered door of the Criminal Department.

The gate was heavily guarded, guarded by two columns of stubborn armor.

Yang Feng and the six gongs were blocked out, and the two sides were facing each other.

"The Criminal Department is ordered to investigate the case, and it is good at the Criminal Department, and those who obstruct the handling of the case will be killed. A middle-aged officer headed by a middle-aged officer, pressed the knife with one hand, and scolded the beater.

Behind him, dozens of armorers held down the hilt of their swords.

Yang Feng's forehead was full of bruises, probably never when he was so aggrieved, and the little people in the past dared to scold him to his face.

Although he also held down the handle of the knife, he did not dare to be reckless, the organizer was not here, and he was not qualified to claim to be ordered to handle the case. It is impossible for the Criminal Department not to know that the watchman was also ordered to participate in the case, but deliberately stopped the person outside.

This is deliberately disgusting to them, deliberately stumbling on them.

"Hey!" The middle-aged officer led by him sneered, pressed the knife with one hand, and saw a group of watchmen galloping on horseback from a distance.

"The Criminal Department handles the case, and unrelated people trespass into the Criminal Department, and they will be killed!"

As soon as he finished shouting, he saw the young gong riding his horse at the front, draw the crossbow at his waist, and pull the trigger without hesitation.

PS: Ask for a monthly pass!

There is one more chapter in the evening. Estimated to be a little late. Don't talk about it, burst the liver.
