Chapter 161 Killer
"What was shipped?"
Xuan Yi shook his head: "They are all packed in sacks, and you can't tell what they are. Those people are very cautious, and the subordinates dare not approach them."
"Keep staring. Be careful not to be noticed."
Qi Shuo made an appointment with Lin Hao to meet.
"Is there any news?" Lin Hao couldn't wait to ask as soon as they met.
In the past two days, her mind had been focused on Chen Mu, who suddenly appeared in the capital. After pondering for a long time, she even began to wonder if the person she was looking for was related to Chen Mu. Otherwise, why would all the chance encounters be in Changchun Street?
"The whereabouts of that person have been found." Qi Shuo explained the discovery in detail, "The location of what they were planning should be on Jinxiu Street. They have been visiting Jinxiu Street in the past few days."
"No wonder he lives near Changchun Street. He transported unknown items to his residence and planned to act on Jinxiu Street with the purpose of destroying the relationship between Da Zhou and Yu Liu——" Lin Hao analyzed, with shock in his eyes, "Should they want to
Blow up the Yuliu messenger on Jinxiu Street?"
Jinxiu Street is a road that the government has focused on repairing recently, and it is the only way for Yuliu envoys to pass.
Qi Shuo raised his eyebrows: "You mean - gunpowder?"
Lin Hao nodded, his heart beating hard: "Although I don't know if any of the people from Yuliu are of high status, but even if they are ordinary envoys, something happens on the streets of the capital city of Dazhou, which is enough to make Yuliu and Dazhou
We are on bad terms."
"It makes sense." Qi Shuo agreed and asked, "Why did you think of gunpowder?"
Gunpowder has been around for a long time in the Zhou Dynasty. It was mainly used in fireworks and firecrackers. It was rarely used as a murder weapon. Firstly, it was not easy to make. Secondly, it was not very powerful. Furthermore, it was easy to be discovered when carried away from the battlefield.
"That's my first reaction. Prince Pingjiahou, do you still remember the incident when Prince Pingjiahou made a fool of himself? It was because of the sudden explosion of firecrackers and the fright." Lin Hao quickly found the reason.
But in fact, it came from her understanding of the teacher.
Mingxin was a very talented person. In order to help Emperor Ping Le regain his kingdom, he made the gunpowder used to bloom beauty into a powerful killing weapon. She once saw the gunpowder explode and the lively piglets turned into roast pigs.
.
If it can kill pigs, of course it can kill people.
This was the reason why her first reaction after hearing the news brought by Prince Jing was gunpowder.
"Actually, whether it's gunpowder or something else, it's certain that these people plan to act on Jinxiu Street." Qi Shuo revealed the plan that he had already thought about. "If the purpose is just to stop this conspiracy, whether these people live or die, it is actually very difficult.
Easy to handle."
"what to do?"
Qi Shuo smiled: "Just let Cheng Maoming, the commander of the Jinlin Guards, know about this. Cheng Maoming has offended the prince and will not refuse such a contribution to stabilize his position in the emperor's heart."
"If it's convenient for you, Prince, just tell Master Cheng." Lin Hao said without hesitation.
Qi Shuo looked at her deeply.
"What's wrong?"
"Then I'm afraid the fate of these people will not be too good."
Lin Hao looked a little strange: "This kind of person who only cares about his own selfishness and doesn't care about the life and death of the people, doesn't he deserve the bad end?"
Could it be that Prince Jing still couldn't bear it?
Qi Shuo took a sip of tea silently.
Got it, she was just protecting the young man who was following her.
"I will look for an opportunity to confirm what they transported to their residence, and then reveal it to Jinlin Guards."
"Then it will be troublesome, Your Majesty."
"This is beyond words."
Lin Hao's heart skipped a beat when he heard the man on the other side say: "As long as you are from the Zhou Dynasty, you shouldn't turn a blind eye."
"Well, the prince is right." Lin Hao agreed without changing his expression, but he despised himself in his heart.
Worryingly, ever since Prince Jing expressed his feelings, she couldn't help but think too much.
"Besides, this is your concern." The handsome young man smiled, and his voice flowed through the girl's ears like a clear spring.
Lin Hao took a big sip of tea.
It is very difficult to confirm what those things are. Those people always ensure that at least two people stay in the residence and guard against death.
Fortunately, Qi Shuo was patient enough and finally got the chance.
Of the two people staying at the residence that day, one of them had a stomachache and ran to the toilet one after another. What Qi Shuo asked Xuan Yi to do was very simple, and he quietly took away most of the toilet paper. The man rushed into the toilet with a gust of wind and waited for the need.
Only then did I realize that there was not enough straw paper.
In desperation, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Lao Liu, please bring me some straw paper quickly, there is no more straw paper!"
Lao Liu looked disgusted, cursed and sent the toilet paper.
Qi Shuo took the opportunity to sneak in and quickly opened a sack, only to see layers of packages inside. He had no time to check it in a short time.
The person who delivered the toilet paper would return at any time. He wiped it with his finger and found that there were black dust particles on his fingertips, which were leaks from inside. He put it to his nose and smelled it, and smelled a faint special odor.
It smells like sulfur!
With this discovery, Qi Shuo immediately retreated. Just as he was hiding, Lao Liu came back.
Lao Liu looked inside and sat back on the chair placed by the door to relax.
He took a look out of caution, and psychologically, he obviously would not have thought that someone would come in and investigate in the short time it took to deliver the toilet paper.
When returning, Qi Shuo told Xuan Yi: "Keep watching, don't scare the enemy."
"I understand." Xuan Yi responded calmly, but he was crying in his heart.
He shouldn't find it boring to stare at someone from afar. Today, he sneaked in with the prince and it's not boring anymore. Even now, his nose is still filled with the smell of the toilet.
Qi Shuo went back home and changed his clothes first, and then went to a teahouse not far from Jinlinwei Yamen.
The person who went to Jinlinwei Yamen to convey the message was the young servant Chang Ning.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with me?" Cheng Maoming was a little surprised when he received the message, and couldn't help but think of Lin Chan's robbery case.
The real culprit of that case was pinned on Zhao Helin. It was easy to hide it from hundreds of officials. Prince Jing and Cheng Shu were deeply involved, so they might be suspicious.
But what surprised Cheng Maoming was that neither Cheng Shu nor Prince Jing looked for him again after that, and seemed to have no doubt about the outcome.
Could it be that Prince Jing realized it later and is now beginning to have doubts?
Originally, there was no intersection with the case of Lin Chan being robbed, so he could have just excused himself from seeing her because he was busy, but that was not the case now. After all, Prince Jing and Cheng Shu had helped during the investigation.
Cheng Maoming guessed Qi Shuo's intention and prepared to say goodbye to the teahouse.
"I wonder what the prince wants from me?"
"Is the Grand Governor very busy lately?" Qi Shuo asked with a smile.
"There are a lot of things, especially the Yuliu envoy will be arriving soon. Although our Jinlin Guards do not need to maintain public order in the capital like the yamen of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, we still need to pay more attention."
Qi Shuo nodded: "The Governor is right, I think so too."
Cheng Maoming hesitated.
Prince Jing’s words are interesting. What’s the use of his thinking?
