Chinese dining table

"It's like this. If you find out the reason, you can come up with countermeasures. No matter how scary the known things are, they are limited. Even if the ignorant things are not scary, they will be magnified many times by our fear."

Li Ji stood with his hands behind his back on the Xianyang Bridge where all the railings were blown up. A lock of white hair was torn out by the wind, which matched the scene of corpses everywhere.

"Just now, I smelled a familiar smell, especially from these damaged stakes.

If the cause of death of everyone here is related to this smell, we will have the first clue that can be traced. "

Li Ji lowered his head and sniffed the broken wooden stake, his expression was also dull for a moment, and he also knocked his head and said: "This smell seems familiar to the old man."

Yun Chu smiled and said, "Grandfather Ying, this smell is the smell produced by the medicine-made puppet when it gets angry, and it's almost exactly the same."

Li Ji took a deep breath and said, "You mean it was the medicine hair puppet that caused such a tragedy?"

Yun Chu frowned and said: "As long as the people in the city who are good at making puppets with medicines are arrested, they will find out after questioning."

Li Ji smiled and said, "Did you just send someone to ask the juggler for the medicine to make the puppet?"

Yun Chu nodded and said, "Exactly."

Li Ji kicked Zan Xiruo's head that rolled down to his feet again, watched the head bouncing and rolling down from the highest point of Xianyang Bridge, and said to Yunchu: "Come on, let's go and listen. , what people who saw this battle said."

After getting off the bloody Xianyang Bridge, the two rubbed on the sand for a long time before cleaning the blood stains on the soles of their shoes.

Then, when he looked up again, Yunchu saw the tenderness who was obviously frightened.

Without waiting for Li Jidong to ask, Wen Rou quickly saluted and said: "Hizhi is very confused now, just now when I was calm, I wrote down the whole process, please read it."

Li Ji appreciated the gentle behavior very much. After all, when people's minds remember something wrong, they can record what they saw and heard just now, which is worthy of the style of the Yushi family.

Li Ji immersed himself in the records, while Yunchu and Wenrou looked at me and I looked at you, speechless.

One is the planner and the other is the implementer. If Li Ji has the ability to read people's hearts at this time, as long as he orders them to be taken down, this case that has caused countless people to sleep at night will be solved immediately.

Yun Chu cupped his hands and said, "Ah Brother Wen Rou, I'm shocked."

She cupped her hands softly and said: "Ah, thank you brother Yun for your love. Although the little brother was quite shocked, he saw the most rare scene in the world. It will be unforgettable in this life."

Just when the two were about to continue their nonsense, Li Ji's hands trembled as he watched Gentle's record.

"You said, this thing has the power to destroy the world?"

Seeing Li Ji's question, Wen Rou hurriedly said: "Because I sent my friend to Kucha yesterday, I felt cold and stayed here at Xianyang Bridge. When I opened the window to see the scenery, I didn't expect to see a robbery that is hard to find in the world.

When the first sound of thunder sounded, Beizhi first saw a flash of fire, and then he saw the scene of the Tubo soldiers and horses being torn apart, and every time the thunder sounded, the Tubo soldiers and horses staggered to and fro, and after a while, corpses were scattered all over the field. "

A smile gradually appeared on Li Ji's face, and he asked again: "You mean that the group of Tuyuhun people launched the attack after the thunder exploded, and when the Tubo troops were seriously injured?"

Rourou nodded repeatedly and said: "That's true. At that time, even a few Tubo warriors could stand up, but their ears were bleeding and they couldn't stand still. They were killed by those Tuyuhun people like chopping melons and vegetables."

After listening to the gentle explanation, Li Ji let out a long breath, and said to Yunchu: "It's not the power of heaven and earth, but a new weapon that we haven't discovered. This kind of weapon should be manipulated by humans, maybe it's just like medicine hair puppets. Generally, a fire source is also required to ignite.

Come on, check the bottom of the Xianyang Bridge to see if there are traces of flames. "

When he got here, Yunchu really admired Li Ji, this guy can actually judge so many things from some clues that there is no adhesion.

It seems that in front of this old guy in the future, you must talk less and do less. The more you talk, the more flaws you will have, and the more you do, the more excuses you will have.

There was no accident at all. The guards not only found the fire traces left by the gunpowder twister under the bridge, but also found the column head where Yunchu placed the gunpowder from these black traces.

The smile on Li Ji's face became bigger and bigger, and he stood by the Wei River with his hands behind his back, and said to the guards: "Search along the river, and don't let go of any clues."

After finishing the order, he said to Yunchu: "This group of people moved quickly. If the old man guessed correctly, they will land five miles away from Xianyang Bridge, and then prepare to flee quickly."

Yun Chu looked at the endlessly flowing river: "Three hours have passed, if you don't care about the horsepower, you are at least a hundred miles away by now.

Even if we send a fast horse to summon him now, there is no way to chase him. "

Li Ji looked at Yun Chu and said, "The old man thought that these people did not flee far away, but sneaked back to Chang'an.

What do you think? "

Yun Chu thought for a while and said, "It's dark under the lamp, there is a possibility."

Li Ji looked back at the looming Chang'an City on the horizon, frowned and said, "If that's the case, you'll be in big trouble."

Gentle and puzzled asked: "If these people dare to hide in Chang'an, as long as we close the gate of Chang'an, Chang'an, Wannian counties, according to the household registration system, as long as the small officials are careful, they will naturally find clues.

Also, they are a centurion, and the so-called secrets known by more than three people cannot be secrets. Therefore, as long as we increase the reward, money has been moving people's hearts since ancient times, and it is not difficult to catch a few people who are greedy for money.

Even if these people can't be caught, I think it can make them all feel in danger, and they will become suspicious of each other, and eventually they will be defeated. "

Li Ji looked at Rou Rou with admiring eyes and said, "Very well, you can arrange this matter and see if you can really catch these man-eating fish."

Gentle and pleasant lead.

Yunchu also felt that Li Ji's arrangement was really good.

No matter from which aspect, gentleness is a hero among people and should be reused, which is really not surprising.

Just as everyone summed up the results of the survey, two cavalry came running out of breath, one was the personal guard sent back to Chang'an by Yunchu, and an old man with a goatee sat on the other horse.

The old man was about to be knocked apart by the horse, but after looking carefully, he was found to be brought here tied to the horse.

Without waiting for the old man to rest, Yunchu asked his soldiers to help the old man go to the bridge to smell the smell, to see if the smell emanating from those wooden stakes was the smell of puppet medicine.

Who would have thought that the old man just got on the bridge, and when he saw the stumped limbs and broken arms and human heads rolling all over the ground, he was so frightened that he fainted.

A bucket of ice water was poured down on his head, and the little old man woke up now. He came over, supported himself from fainting with supreme perseverance, and after sniffing those wooden stakes vigorously, he roared hoarsely: "The puppet medicine is the puppet medicine. The smell of puppet medicine without iron powder, lead powder, tin powder, or copper powder after burning."

Hearing the little old man's cry, Li Ji heaved a sigh of relief, and even Yun Chu felt that the future was bright.

Li Ji said to Yunchu: "Since we found out that this thing is made of puppet medicine, after we go back, we will order the master craftsmen to study it day and night. Things in this world can be mastered in one way, as long as we master this thing.

Then, this matter is beneficial and harmless to my Tang Dynasty, hahaha, it is really worth a thousand dollars to let Datang get such an astonishingly powerful weapon... Hahaha. "

When the guards who pursued along the Wei River reported that hundreds of fast horses had stayed for a long time in the five miles downstream, Li Ji was indifferent to the news.

He didn't come here to solve the case. If Datang has been reduced to the point that he needs to solve the case himself, what to do with those state government offices and what to do with Dali Temple, so Li Ji is here to find the answer.

Now that he has the answer, he can naturally go back and ask Li Zhi, and at the same time make Li Zhi feel at ease.

There were countless conditions for the thief's assault on Xianyang Bridge, and such an attack could not be launched anytime and anywhere.

In this way, the emperor didn't have to take the giant bear with him everywhere he went, and he didn't have to change his residence three or four times a night.

This time, Li Ji was going to focus on telling the emperor about the bright future of the puppet medicine and its significance in actual combat.

In any case, let the emperor regard the research and development of the puppet drug as the top priority in Datang.

He didn't want to lead the army to fight against the enemy, suddenly there would be a series of loud noises, completely flipping a battle that he was sure of winning.

He even wanted to tell the emperor that if the thieves were willing to take the initiative to offer the formula of the puppet medicine, the emperor could order to forget about the past, and the title of Marquis was not unnegotiable.

After listening to Li Ji's suggestion along the way, Yun Chu would not take the initiative to dedicate the gunpowder formula to the emperor even if he was killed.

Who is he, Li Ji, and who is Li Zhi?

A son-in-law's head is used to sacrifice the flag to stand up, and a brother who kills his own brother is like chopping melons and vegetables.

To talk about friendship with these two people is to fear that you will die too late.

Not to mention the rewards, let alone the title of marquis, as long as the formula is sent up, Li Zhi will definitely fulfill his promise. The rewards given must be unprecedentedly rich, and the titles given must also be unprecedentedly rich.

Because Li Zhi always claims to be the most sincere and gentleman emperor in the world, there is no problem in doing what he says.

The problem is that you get a reward. After you get a knighthood, you are likely to be exterminated by the nine clans because of the crime of entering the hall with your left foot or your right foot.

At that time, Li Ji will not even say a word of intercession for you, because, in Li Ji's view, gunpowder is an important weapon of the country, how can it be held in private hands!

Therefore, master craftsmen of labor, study it slowly, and when it is researched, it will not be too late to use it any day.
