Seocho didn't understand how Mu Yirong, a wolf, suddenly evolved and mutated.

But the Nineteenth Prince knew very well that he didn't dare to pull the tiger's tail anymore, so he hurriedly walked a few steps, walked to the front, turned his head and urged, "Yirong, Miss Seocho, why are you two walking so slowly, the sun is going down for a while, do you still want to go to Sinong Temple?"

The nineteenth prince came to a Zhu Bajie and beat a rake, Mu Yirong was too lazy to bother with him, quickened his pace, and the three of them came to Sinong Temple without saying a word all the way.

There was such a big mess in Hanyuan Hall this morning, and Sinong Temple had naturally heard about it for a long time, Sinong Temple Qing was recuperating at home, and Shaoqing Qin Daoxing greeted him with a smile on his face.

"See the Nineteenth Prince. ”

The nineteenth prince asked Qin Daoxing to be exempt, and Qin Daoxing straightened up and greeted Mu Yirong again.

"There is such a thing in the ice cellar of Sinong Temple, it is a dereliction of duty of the lower officials, and the nineteenth prince and the officials of Dali Temple are bothered to take this trip, and the lower officials deserve ten thousand deaths, and the crimes deserve ten thousand deaths. ”

Sinong Temple is in charge of grain storage, warehouse management, and the supply of rice to the official government in the capital city, and now there is such a thing in the Cangbu Ice Cellar, and Sinong Temple is naturally unable to escape punishment.

And this matter involves the immortal protector of the current dynasty, if the matter is big, no one can guarantee whether the head above his neck can stay on it steadily.

Qin Daoxing, the young secretary of Sinong Temple, almost pinned his hopes for saving his life on the nineteenth prince and Dali Temple, and naturally treated the three very politely, and respectfully led the three to the Cangbe Ice Cellar.

The ice cellar was underground, cold and damp, because the heat of the fire candle would cause the ice to melt, so there was not much lighting underneath, it was very dim, but it could be seen that it was very clean.

Because some people in the previous dynasty accidentally discovered that saltpeter has the effect of making ice from water, the ground and walls in the ice cellar are paved with saltpeter, which prompts more attention to fire prevention in the ice cellar.

The cellar didn't smell anything strange except for some saltpeter and damp smells.

Shaoqing of Sinong Temple led everyone to the place where the tribute ice was stored, and introduced, "The local icemen take 1,000 sections of ice from the river every year, three feet square, and one foot five thick, and transport them to the capital city, store them in the cellar of the warehouse, and wait for the summer moon for the palace to use and reward His Majesty." This morning, it is the first time this year to open the library to take ice, I didn't expect to encounter such a thing, I'm afraid that no one will dare to use the remaining tribute ice, and the nobles in the palace are afraid that they will suffer this summer. ”

The Nineteenth Prince knew that Qin Daoxing was worried about his head, and comforted him, "Now there are many local ice households, and there are always a lot of ice cubes in the cellar at home to supply the ice merchants in the capital. I will ask people to go to the place to procure for the use of His Majesty and the nobles in the palace, so you don't have to worry too much. ”

When Qin Daoxing heard this, he was so moved that he almost shed tears, and he was busy saying that the nineteenth prince was a living bodhisattva who saved suffering.

Mu Yirong looked at the tribute ice that was stacked like a pile of grain in front of him, and asked Qin Daoxing, where are these tribute ices from the ice households?

Qin Daoxing hurriedly replied, "It is the Binghu of Lantian County, which was taken in the Bahe River when it was forty-nine years old last year, transported to the capital, and stored in the cellar of the warehouse. ”

Gong Bing was placed on top of a copper platform, on which a little glass could be seen, and the ice cubes were neatly stacked on top of the glass.

The ice cube in front of Mu Yirong's eyes was crystal clear, and he didn't see anything abnormal.

At this time, Seocho, who was standing at the corner on the right, beckoned to Mu Yirong and called him over.

Mu Yirong walked towards Seocho, but before he could get closer, he felt that the air around him had become a little cloudy.

After walking in, Mu Yirong saw a few pieces of ice on top of the glass, which were exactly the same as the one that the emperor rewarded Qian Youliang, the head of the household, and the transparent ice cubes seemed to solidify the turbid egg whites, and there was a faint smell wafting out.

The ice cubes that were pulled to the outside of Hanyuan Hall before, although they were contained in the ice jam, were delayed for some hours under the scorching sun, causing the surface of the ice cubes to melt, and the corpse water frozen in the ice cubes flowed out, so when everyone opened the ice cubes, the smell of corpses that choked their noses suddenly drifted out.

The Nineteenth Prince looked at the cloudy ice and concluded, "The corpse was moved out of here, that's right." ”

Mu Yirong nodded, and asked Qin Daoxing to bring the record of the Bing Hu's carrying of Gong Bing at that time, and asked the person who collected the Gong Ice at that time and checked the record to bring it together.

Qin Daoxing quickly summoned the master of Sinong Temple, with the record, followed by the person in charge of the Bingling Order.

The Lord handed over the record with trembling hands, and said that he had recorded the amount of tribute ice sent by the Bing Household at that time, and it was the same as every year, a thousand paragraphs, and there would be no mistake.

The person in charge of the ice Ling nodded hurriedly, there is absolutely no problem with the number of Daogong ice, one more piece or one less piece, and the final ice can be seen from the volume.

As he spoke, he pointed to the copper table, "It just happened to be placed on top of it, and the height was the same as before." ”

"Then have you carefully checked every section of ice?"

Hearing this, the person in charge of the ice immediately said with a bitter face that the ice cubes are not as expensive as porcelain, and as long as they are not melted, no one will pay attention to whether each section of ice is not clear enough.

Because, even if you find that there is a problem with the ice later, you can still fill the leak.

After all, if there is a problem with one or two pieces of ice, it is not a big deal, and you can also use saltpeter to make ice to make up for the gap.

Mu Yirong looked at the main Bo and the palm of the ice ling, "So, even if someone transports the dead body from Lantian County all the way to the Cangbu Ice Cellar, is it impossible?"

The main Bo and the palm Bingling man were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, not daring to make a sound, Mu Yirong asked the two, do you still remember the Binghu who sent the ice to the New Year's Moon, is there anything abnormal?

The Lord Bo Dao sent tribute to the Bing Hu every year, and it is clearly recorded in the record that the last year was still the Shen family and the Wei family of the Bing Hu in Lantian County, and the two heads of the family personally escorted them into Beijing, and were rewarded with agate and other things by His Majesty, so that they could continue to serve the country next year.

The nineteenth prince urged Mu Yirong to end the questioning quickly, and went to the Immortal Master Temple with him to ask Yimei Xunhe about the two immortal masters who protected the country, about their apprentice Heming.

Mu Yirong nodded, got out of the ice cellar, and Qin Daoxing, the young secretary of Sinong Temple, who was very thoughtful, ordered people to wait outside, and when he saw Mu Yirong and others coming out, he immediately stepped forward to clean his hands and incense for the three of them.

The Nineteenth Prince praised Qin Daoxing for his future, and told him that if the Holy Lord ordered him to destroy the ice cellar tribute ice, he could send those unpolluted ice blocks to his mansion, and he would not dislike or taboo them.

Qin Daoxing was in a very complicated mood at this time, and when he heard that the Nineteenth Prince was still looking for something for him to do, although he complained bitterly in his heart, he still smiled and agreed, reassuring the Nineteenth Prince that he would definitely do as he was told.
