Lady Wan Guan

The three of them arrived at Yongshou Hall.

The site is still under intensive construction.

The three of them touched here and there and knocked here and there.

Gu Zhou paused and realized that a craftsman was secretly observing them.

This look didn't seem out of curiosity, but... vigilant.

Gu Zhou remained calm, touched a pillar, and knocked on it. There was a hollow echo.

Gu Zhouting felt a shiver in his heart. He pretended that he didn't find anything and went to knock on the floor tiles again.

The three of them checked it inside and out, making eye contact.

Ji Yunchen didn't find anything, but Jiang Wanning seemed to have discovered something.

Gu Zhou stopped calling the officials from the Ministry of Works who were responsible for the renovation.

"How many more days will it take to complete?"

The clerk said: "It will probably take another seven days."

"What's the fastest? Isn't it limited to half a month?"

The clerk said: "Master Huang asked us to stop work for a day before the accident, so there was a delay. However, if we hurry up and work slowly, we can still complete it within five days without any delay."

Gu Zhouting frowned: "We stopped working for a day, why?"

Why wasn't such an important clue reported before?
"I don't know why, Master Huang asked me to stop work, and then Master Huang had an accident."

Gu Zhouting was very annoyed. It seemed that his men were still too sloppy in their work. Not everyone was as careful and considerate as Zheng Guan.

And he trusted his subordinates too much. It was already the third time he came here and he learned that Lord Huang had stopped work for one day.

"Okay, you go down and work quickly." Gu Zhou stopped and waved his hand, signaling the clerk to leave.

The three of them left Yongshou Hall.

Jiang Wanning said: "There is something wrong with the pillars of the main hall."

Ji Yunchen was confused: "What's the problem? The wood is all new."

Gu Zhou stopped and said, "There is indeed a problem. The wood is hollow."

"Yeah, if someone stuffs something inside, when the time comes, the pillar will collapse..." Jiang Wanning immediately thought of those explosives.

Gu Zhouting looked solemn.

Yongshou Hall was the place where the souls of the great Qi monarch Li Lai rested after his death. All civil and military officials would stay here to keep vigil. The hall collapsed, killing an unknown number of people.

If it was that person who did it, she might be planning to launch a mutiny.

Gu Zhouting was frightened by this idea, his eyes filled with fear.

"What are you talking about? What are you putting in there?" Ji Yunchen didn't understand yet. He wasn't stupid either, but when he was with two extremely smart guys, he always got hit.

It was like this before, when they looked at each other, they understood each other tacitly, and others were confused.

This feeling is so unpleasant.

Jiang Wan Ning said: "Explosives."

Ji Yunchen's eyes widened: "Where did you get the explosives?"

Gu Zhouting was afraid of patting Ji Yunchen on the shoulder: "This matter is very important. Don't tell anyone. You go to see the Holy One first. I have to return to Dali Temple quickly."

Jiang Wanning asked: "Are you going back to look at the drawings left by Master Huang?"

Gu Zhou stopped and nodded.

"Then go ahead, I'll go to the Royal Hospital." Seeing Gu Zhouting leave quickly, Ji Yunchen realized: "You just found explosives in the pillars."

Jiang Wanning shook his head: "I just found that the pillars in the hall made different sounds when they were struck. Some of them were not solid. Today we went to the stronghold of the killers and found a warehouse there, where a large amount of saltpeter and saltpeter were once stored. Charcoal, these are the materials used to make explosives. That ties the two things together."

"That's easy to do. Can't we find out if we take down the big pillar and take a look?"

Jiang Wan Ning looked at him like a fool: "Ji Yunchen, can you use your brain? How will you lead troops to fight in the future?"

Ji Yunchen said innocently: "My brain in investigating crimes is not as bright as yours. This is not what I am good at, but when it comes to leading troops to fight, I am worthy."

Jiang Wan Ning explained patiently.

"Now go check Dazhu. Apart from confirming that there is something wrong with Dazhu, what can we be sure of? Can we catch the real culprit behind the scenes? Obviously we can't, so don't worry about it yet. Let's see who is using this trick in the end. The real culprit Emerge naturally.”

Ji Yunchen finally understood: "Your brains are better."

I really envy the tacit understanding between her and Gu Zhouding.

"By the way, why did you go to see the Holy One?"

"I need money, my Huben Camp is too shabby."

"As far as I know, the emperor has already allocated a lot of money to Huben Camp. The treasury is currently empty, so I'm afraid I won't be able to get more."

"I also know that things are not what they used to be. The money allocated by the emperor is less than half of what was used to set up the Beida Battalion. But now we don't even have all the equipment. We can't let soldiers use fire sticks to fight a war, right?"

"Is the gap big? If not, I can donate some. Is one hundred thousand enough?"

Ji Yunchen stared: "You are so generous."

Jiang Wan Ning chuckled: "Money is all external possessions. If it's not enough, two hundred thousand is enough. I can ask my brother to borrow some."

"It's better not to give up. It's squeezed between the teeth of the household, but there are still some. If there is a war, you can donate more!"

The two of them walked to the fork in the road and said goodbye to each other.

Jiang Wan Ning went to the Royal Hospital. When Judge Lu Mansion saw her, he said, "If Mr. Jiang doesn't come again, I will go find you."

"Is something wrong?"

Deputy Judge Lu looked around and said, "Go to my place and tell me."

Entering Vice-President Lu's duty room, Vice-President Lu closed the door and whispered: "Didn't you ask about Rong Bin's medical record before? I went to the dental shop a few days ago and planned to buy a slightly larger one. house, but guess what happened to me?"

Jiang Wan Ning looked like she was all ears and wanted to speak quickly.

"I actually met the landlord who bought Ye Limu's house. Ye Limu was going back to his hometown at that time, so he sold the house at a low price. In fact, he asked me first if I wanted to buy it, but I didn't have the money. Buy it. The landlord of the house was a businessman in the ceramics business. Before he moved in, he heard that Ye Limu's family had died unexpectedly. He felt that the house was unlucky, so it remained empty. His business had not been doing well recently and he was in urgent need of cash. , so he put the house up for sale in Yahang."

"I asked to go take a look at the house. To be honest, I had some friendship with Ye Limu before. I had been to his house many times. There was a secret compartment on Ye Limu's desk. Once he opened it in front of me. , so I went to his study and subconsciously opened the secret compartment. What do you think I found inside?"

Jiang Wan Ning was startled: "Isn't he Rong Bin's doctor?"

Vice-President Lu took out a booklet from his sleeve pocket.

"This is Ye Li's medical book, which contains Rong Concubine's medical records."

Jiang Wan Ning was shocked. It took no effort to scream.

Vice President Lu sighed: "Ye Limu actually left such an important thing in that secret room. Maybe he just hoped that I could discover it, or leave his fate to God."

He has read the medical records and there is a big problem with Rong Bin's death.

This should be the reason why Ye Limu suddenly resigned and was eager to return to his hometown. Stay away from the place of right and wrong.

Unfortunately, that man still refused to let Ye Limu go, and all the family members died unexpectedly, and they were all killed.

Jiang Wanning put away the medical book: "You must keep this matter secret and just pretend that you have never seen this medical book."

Vice President Lu nodded: "I know how powerful it is."
