Chuzhou Prefecture.

Compared with the Jiangnan water town with small bridges and flowing water, there are many hills, so in addition to being gentle and charming, there are also several more beautiful bones. In addition to bringing Chuzhou Prefecture a beautiful appearance, this bone also gives Chuzhou Prefecture a wonderful gift - ore.

Since the Spring and Autumn Period, and even during the ancient Yue Kingdom, there has been a history of smelting metals and casting weapons on this land. Ou Yezi is the most famous existence among them.

After thousands of years of vicissitudes and storms, not many people remember the monarchs of the Spring and Autumn Period, but Ou Yezi and the famous sword that appeared through his hands are still remembered by many people.

It is precisely because of Ou Yezi's existence that the place where the swords were forged is still famous all over the world until now.

Even its place names are named after the name Stegosaurus Abyss that it cast back then.

Long Yuan is also the destination of Bai Shier and Zhu Jinxuan, and it is also the location of the sword-making villa where the sword-making conference was held.

Although Zhu Jinxuan wanted to quickly catch those Japanese warriors who dared to poison Yao Shun, the fourth-rank prefect, and slaughtered the Yao Mansion and set fire to destroy evidence, and followed the clues and seized the real murderer behind them, she also knew that with so few online searches, it was difficult to do these things immediately.

Therefore, she followed her initial purpose of leaving Beijing, visited the scenic spots and historical sites in various places, experienced different customs and folk customs, and rushed to Zhujian Villa with Bai Shier.

The only thing that made her a little regretful was that when she was passing through Yingtian Prefecture and Suzhou Prefecture, she failed to stay long enough like she did in Yangzhou Prefecture that she could only read it like a flash and couldn't enjoy it.

However, after thinking that after the matter was resolved, she could ask Bai Shier to accompany her and return and stay for a while, the regret in her heart was reduced a little.

Hu Xiaolin, who had been following behind, couldn't help but rush his eyes when he saw Zhu Jinxuan's traveling like a mountain and water. He really wanted to remind his princess that the time you agreed with the emperor was coming soon. Are you not planning to abide by the agreement and return to the capital?

He finally didn't ask for a reminder, because he felt that even if he reminded him, it would be useless. His Royal Highness, probably, had already found an excuse.

The best excuse was the best excuse for Bai Shier, the gang of poisoning the Yangzhou prefect Yao Shun, and then turning the Yao Mansion into a sea of ​​fire and the envoy behind him, because from now on, it is indeed the guy Bai Shier, who had fought with the other party, who had the most hope to find the other party's clues.

Zhu Jinxuan is undoubtedly the best candidate to make Bai Shier do his best.

But Hu Xiaolin was not so naive that he completely put his hope on Bai Shier alone. This was not because he did not trust Bai Shier, but because he felt that with more help, he could find the group of Japanese warriors faster.

However, everything that happened in Yangzhou Prefecture made him no longer dare to trust the people in the government. The only thing that could still keep him trust was the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang, who were also the emperor's hawks.

Moreover, he needed to use the power of the factory guards to write down what happened these days as a secret report back to the capital.

And this time, Bai Shier's name finally appeared in his secret report.

Fortunately, Hu Xiaolin was a little rational and did not write Zhu Jinxuan's special feelings about Bai Shier into the secret report. Although he felt more and more troublesome in the relationship between Bai Shier and Zhu Jinxuan, he still had the last trace of fantasy.

...

In Yangzhou Prefecture City, after Ye Bi returned from Zhujian Villa, the four people from Liushemen began to investigate.

The point is naturally the Yao Mansion, which has been burned into ruins by a fire.

Fortunately, Yao Shun, as the prefect, died. When the incident happened suddenly, the entire Yangzhou government office was a little panicked and had no time to deal with the ruins after the burned Yao Mansion was given enough time to investigate.

Unfortunately, except when they sneaked into the morgue to check the corpse, they saw that Yao Shun died of poison, while other people in the Yao Mansion died of sharp weapons, they had no gains.

Obviously, this is not the first time this group of people who have done such a vicious thing has done this. Everything has been handled very cleanly and no flaws have been left at all.

And this undoubtedly caused their investigation to be in a deadlock.

If it is a general murder case, analyzing the wound will indeed be very helpful in solving the case, but when it comes to people in the world, it obviously does not have a good effect.

After all, there may not be many other things in the world, but there is never a shortage of sharp weapons.

The investigation of the Yao Mansion was in a deadlock, and the surveillance of the salt merchants was found nothing.

As Bai Shier predicted before leaving Yangzhou Prefecture, the salt merchants of the turtle hid in their respective manors after Yao Shun died and stopped showing up. The masters they had invited from a lot of money before left Yangzhou Prefecture openly the day before the Yao Mansion Fire.

Every day, he went out with full expectations, but returned with disappointment. He could bear it in one day or two days. Over time, even Peng Zhenlei, who was the most calm, gradually began to become restless. As for Tie Wenbin, he began to complain after two days of such a day.

In the end, he no longer searched for so-called clues every day when he went out, but instead directly found a place to drink to relieve his depression. When he came back every day, he was filled with alcohol.

Seeing that this continued, it seemed that they were about to collapse first. Peng Zhenlei and Ye Bi finally made up their minds to try their luck at Tianji Pavilion.

What we have to say is that perhaps it was because they had accumulated too much bad luck before that even God could not stand it anymore. When they went to Tianji Pavilion to look for clues, Lu Jingli of Tianji Pavilion had just received the news from the capital.

As for the source of the news, it was naturally Hu Xiaolin's secret report.

...

Yao Shun's death was almost passed to the capital with impeachment memorials, which undoubtedly made the emperor full of anger.

He has been ascending the throne for more than six years. He is no longer the young emperor who didn't know anything and believed in whatever the ministers said.

Hu Xiaolin's secret report was delivered to him in time when the emperor reached out to the factory guard for relevant information and was unable to vent his anger at the factory guard.

The emperor, who had accumulated countless anger in his heart because of this incident, undoubtedly added fuel to the fire after seeing the content of the secret report.

Therefore, amid the emperor's rare roar, Dongchang Governor Jiang Zhun, who had been retracted from the ostrich in the East Factory Daying for nearly a month, summoned the head of the Tianji Pavilion in the Beijing City again.

After this month of "retreatment", he has recovered a lot of fighting spirit, and after the emperor's roar and baptism, he has found motivation again.
