Hexi

Chapter 269 Something!
The alley was so quiet that there was only the sound of wind and crickets, and Su Luo was sitting in the carriage outside, her heart stuck in her throat.At this moment, it would be a lie to say that you are not nervous. It is the first time that Han Mo and the murderer have fought fiercely. Who knows if there is a murderer lurking in the dark?
"someone is coming!"

The guards swooped up.

Su Wei didn't dare to vent her anger, but the guards said again: "It's the prince!"

These three words were like knives, and they loosened the rope that bound Su Luo's heartstrings. She opened the curtain of the car, and she saw several figures galloping towards him under the moonlight in the distance. , tall and straight like a moving green pine tree, who is it not Han Mo? !

"How's it going?"

She pushed open the carriage door.

"It should be in hand."

Han Mo couldn't help but jump into the carriage, and then opened the bundle.The paulownia box known to be three inches long suddenly appeared in front of my eyes!
Su Luo's chest tightened: "This is the copper box that Yuan Qing left behind?!"

"To be exact, this is the copper box that Lin Rong mentioned earlier!" Han Mo looked at her, "She really wasn't talking nonsense."

"Great!"

Su Wei couldn't hold back her excitement, "There's nowhere to go if you've broken through the iron shoes, and it didn't take much effort to get here. Fortunately, you went there just in time!"

Han Mo nodded solemnly, and packed up the bag again: "Let's go back to Taiping Hutong and open this box in front of Lin Rong!"

Su Luo agreed: "There are my lock-making tools in Taiping Hutong, and it is convenient to open the copper box. But will there be any problems over there? Could someone already attack Lin Rong?"

"They can't do anything, everyone in the house knows martial arts."

"That's all right.—Come on!"

This trip was like an arrow, but it took a while to return to Taiping Hutong.

Sure enough, as Su Luo guessed, the house was in a mess, and it could be seen that there had been a fight.But as Han Mo said, the servants of the Han family came out to tell Lin Rong that everything was fine.

As long as people are fine, don't worry about anything else.When they arrived at the small courtyard, the maid helped Lin Rong out.There was still a look of panic left on her face, but she wasn't in a worse state than before.

"Is it this box?"

Han Mo opened the bag and asked her directly.

"Yes, that's it!"

Lin Rong pointed at the box, his fingers trembling with excitement.

Han Mo then looked at Su Luo, who stepped forward and said, "Let me see."

Han Mo stopped her: "Be careful, the box with gunpowder that Yuan Qing mentioned before is most likely inside."

"It doesn't matter." Su Wei tilted her head slightly, "You send someone to go over there and fetch all my utensils."

The shape of the copper box is ordinary, and its size is comparable to the one that Han Mo took to Su's house before.There is a lock on the top of the box, about two inches long.

"It's a triple latch."

Su Luo came to a conclusion after reading it.

"Is there a trap?" Han Mo was obviously still worried about this.

"There is no problem with the lock, the problem is with the lid." Su Wei finished speaking and looked at Lin Rong, "Have you ever opened this box?"

"I don't have one. It is what it was when Ah Qing gave it to me. He didn't let me open it. He said that if I make a mistake, I will die!"

Lin Rong spoke very solemnly, and his expression matched with fear and ferocity.

"Does that mean you don't have a key?"

Lin Rong shook his head.

Su Luo has a bottom line in her heart.It happened that the maid here had already brought her utensils. She took out screw gloves and put them on. First, she opened the copper lock with a silver pick, and then felt a hidden lock on the box.She took off her right hand glove, groped around the lock cylinder for a while, then took out a new tool, and carefully inserted it into the lock cylinder.

The room was so quiet that one could hear a needle drop.Everyone even tried to control the sound of breathing as invisible as possible.Han Mo stood tightly behind Su Luo to ensure that if there was any accident, he would be able to take Su Luo out of danger as soon as possible.

"Clap."

Just when everyone was hanging on their hearts, there was a slight sound from inside the copper box, and then Su Wei gently lifted the lid of the box, and the lid bounced up!

Han Mo immediately leaned over.

"Sure enough!" Su Luo pointed to the half-open box and showed him.

On the upper floor of the full box, one end of a wire rope is connected to a fire lock, and the other end is connected to the keyhole that Su Luo touched just now.

"Once the operation is wrong, this wire will rub the fire inside and detonate the gunpowder in the lower layer. Even if the explosion does not kill people, the contents stored inside will definitely be destroyed."

Han Mo looked at her: "Isn't this the same as the information I got before?"

Su Luo nodded, and then started to clean up the gunpowder and gunpowder in the box.

Han Mo watched her dismantle everything, and the two hands hanging by his side were already sweating.

"There really is something underneath!"

Su Luo spoke excitedly, and speeded up to take out the things at the bottom of the box.

"How many dossiers!" She handed them to Han Mo, "Look at what's written inside?!"

Han Mo took it in his hand, and immediately frowned. "It's from the Ministry of War. It's—"

He stopped abruptly at this point.

Su Luo couldn't help it: "Who is it?!"

Han Mo looked at her deeply, and said slowly, "It's Chang Wei."

"Chang Wei?!"

Hearing this name, Su Ruo was also stunned.

It is already recognized that there are problems in the Ministry of War.Han Mo and the others have even listed several people as their targets, but no matter how they searched, they did not list Chang Wei as their target from the beginning to the end, because Chang Wei was the one who participated in the downfall of that treacherous official Xue Rong!
"Look carefully! Did you make a mistake?" Su Wei reminded, "Chang Wei has a good reputation in the court. After Xue Rong's case, his reputation has also risen. I can't find him." Is there any reason to join forces with Luo Zhi!"

Han Mo handed her the file in his hand: "There can be no mistake, what is written on it is a lawsuit against Chang Wei's family property of unknown origin, which includes his various properties in and around Gyeonggi. At least half of them are The above are only purchased by him in recent years. They even include several Zhuangzi in the southern suburbs."

Su Wei looked at the three words Nanjiao Town clearly highlighted on the paper, and suddenly her throat tightened.

"You mean to say, if Chen Min and the others bought the village in Wuertun, then that farm would also appear in this list?"

"Obviously." Han Mo looked through the remaining files, "Basically they are all accused of being corrupt and perverting the law, and there are also some evidences of his collusion with Luo Zhi. Especially this one——"

Speaking of this, he opened an envelope in the dossier: "This is a copy of the clues we got when we were in Donglin Hei, when we inspected the officials. This copy has a lot to do with Luo Zhi. It points out that Most of the property that Luo Zhi received through local officials at all levels flowed into the Chang family!"

The letter was also handed over to Su Luo.

Su Luo's expression was as ugly as the messy courtyard outside the window.

"Since the evidence points to him, Luo Zhi's behavior can be explained. With Chang Wei's current power status, it is true that Luo Zhi can't do anything and can only obey him.

"It's just that Chang Wei tried his best to defeat Xue Rong and eliminate harm for the court. In the eyes of the emperor and the world, he was a loyal minister. Isn't it good for him to protect his reputation? Why would he ruin his future like this?"
