Xu Qi'an to the lake bottom, in the eye was pasting quickly pure qi, seems like two miniature bulbs in the darkness. 许七安很快到了湖底,眼中流转着清气,在黑暗中像是两盏小灯泡。 Under water is piling up the silt, is centered on the ground of white marble stage, stone columns by the unique rule arrangement, surround and protect the stage in the center. 水底堆积着淤泥,以汉白玉高台的地基为中心,一根根石柱以独特的规律排列,将高台拱卫在中央。 This seems like some array .... Xu Qi'an guessed at heart. 这似乎是某种阵法....许七安心里猜测。 In Great Feng capital, can arrange array only has Directorate of Astronomy Thaumaturge, in other words, Directorate of Astronomy also participated in the construction of Forever Guard the Mountains and Rivers Temple in the past. 在大奉京城,能布置阵法的只有司天监的术士,也就是说,当年司天监也参与了永镇山河庙的建造。 From this can infer, knows the Mulberry Lake secret besides now His Majesty, Supervisor that bad old man ....., therefore, Supervisor does fall ill real? Because is Forever Guard the Mountains and Rivers Temple collapsing creates? 由此可以推断,知道桑泊秘密的除了当今圣上,还有监正那个糟老头子.....所以,监正生病是真的？或者,是因为永镇山河庙坍塌造成的？ Hiss .... Here is hiding what secret. 嘶....这里到底隐藏着什么秘密。 Schemes the Mulberry Lake secret the influence, to destroy the Forever Guard the Mountains and Rivers Temple thief, is the King level grade ..... my small Copper Gong mixes absolutely, felt that will be fought to bring disaster to the mackerel shad by the deity momentarily .... 图谋桑泊秘密的势力、破坏永镇山河庙的贼人,绝对是王者级段位.....我一个小铜锣掺和其中,感觉随时会被神仙打架殃及池鱼.... Even if I can find out the truth, the imperial family does tolerate me? 就算我能查出真相,皇室能容我吗？ Thinks of here, Xu Qi'an is at heart heavy. 想到这里,许七安心里头沉甸甸的。 „Wei Yuan had shown the bright way to me, troublesome on the notice yamen that meeting is unable to solve, informs Golden Gong Yang .... This suggestion was obvious enough, I am only the private of explorer, hunting dog that is responsible for tracing. Really is not good, I play dead to withdraw at the worst, far away from capital.” “魏渊已经给我指了明路,遇到无法解决的麻烦就通知衙门,通知杨金锣....这个暗示足够明显了,我只是探路的卒子,负责追踪的猎狗。实在不行,我大不了假死脱身,远离京城呗。” During the thought twinkles, he paddles the four limbs, by approaching is away from the oneself recent stone column. 念头闪烁间,他划动四肢,靠向距离自己最近的石柱。 The stone column surface is carving the distortion and strange tadpole writing. 石柱表面雕刻着扭曲、古怪的蝌蚪文字。 Xu Qi'an sees this probably is some language, is limited concerned about the cultural level, is unable to explain. He remembers several writing firmly. 许七安大概看出这是某种文字,碍于文化水平有限,无法解读。他牢牢记住几个文字。 Also inspected several stone columns, discovered after similar writing, the deep sea phobophobia urges Xu Qi'an to leave the jet black lake bottom. 又检查了几根石柱,发现有同样的文字后,深海恐惧症促使着许七安离开漆黑的湖底。 In silent, profound under water, his total brain makes up the ice-cold eyes to stare at him behind, or in the front darkness has the huge shadow to reappear. 身在寂静的,幽深的水底,他总脑补着身后有一双冰冷的眼睛盯着他,或者前方黑暗里有巨大的黑影浮现。 Xu Qi'an surfaces, returns to the small boat, the coal long blade inserts the scabbard the mouth holds, the luck evaporation lake water. 许七安钻出水面,返回小舟,把嘴里衔着的黑金长刀插回刀鞘,运气蒸干湖水。 Steam raises continuously. 一缕缕蒸汽升起。 Li Yuchun surprise is staring at him, this boy promotes Qi Refining Boundary in his hands, this how long, was internal qi so vigorous? 李玉春诧异的盯着他,这小子是在他手中晋升练气境的,这才多久,气机如此浑厚了？ „Your this internal qi may not like be Qi Refining Boundary of new promote.” Li Yuchun puzzled say/way. “你这气机可不像是新晋的练气境。”李玉春不解道。 „I am every day sit in meditation the two double-hour.” Xu Qi'an innocent expression. “我就是每天打坐两个时辰而已。”许七安无辜的表情。 „....” Elder Brother Chun beckons with the hand, is not willing to discuss anything in this topic, looking at Silver Gong Yang was the same, said: „ Surnamed Yang refuses to accept you, came up to analyze a watering bottom situation with us a moment ago, but also calculates some harvests. And said that if your analysis is like him, he is convinced. “....”春哥摆摆手,不愿在这个话题多谈什么,看了杨银锣一样,道:“姓杨的不服你,刚才上来跟我们分析了一通水底的情况,还算有些收获。并且说,如果你的分析和他一样,他就服气。 „Everyone is secondary roles, does not need to cover-up.” “大家都是一个班底的,没必要藏着掖着。” tall thin Yang Feng smiles, without rebuttal. 高瘦的杨峰笑了笑,没有反驳。 Xu Qi'an looked at Min Shan of whiskers, this has not spoken, but is staring at Xu Qi'an, he opened the mouth. 许七安看了眼络腮胡的闵山,这位没说话,但盯着许七安,在等他开口。 Xu Qi'an shows the whites of the eyes: „Can infer the shotpoint from the break place of stage in the temple, rather than under water. In addition, the gunpowder conceals after the ancestor worshiping ceremony enters in the temple mostly. Did not end over one double-hour from the ancestor worshiping ceremony.” 许七安翻了个白眼:“从高台的断裂处可以推断出爆破点在庙里,而不是水底。此外,火药多半是在祭祖大典后藏进庙内的。距离祭祖大典结束不超过一个时辰。” „ If conceals enters in the temple ahead of time, the gunpowder smell is heavy, your majesty entered in the temple at that time, will definitely smell. Only then after ancestor worship conclusion, has the opportunity. Goes being responsible for concluding to arrest the manservant, the Court of Judicial Review petty local official and Ministry of Rites who petty local official entirely, interrogated one by one, this matter Silver Gong Yang you managed. “如果是提前藏入庙中,火药气味重,陛下当时进入庙内,肯定会闻到。只有祭祖结束之后才有机会。去把负责收尾的当差、大理寺吏员、礼部吏员统统缉拿,逐一审问,这件事杨银锣你去办。 „ Moreover, informs the yamen, takes several Directorate of Astronomy white clothing to come the coordination to handle a case to your majesty. The bosses you manage. Un, I want Directorate of Astronomy Miss Caiwei to help me. “另外,通知衙门,向陛下要几位司天监的白衣过来协同办案。头儿你去办。嗯,我要司天监的采薇姑娘来帮我。 „Silver Gong Min, you go to Ministry of Works with me, I want the turnover record of powder factory. The equivalent such big gunpowder, is impossible to smuggle.” “闵银锣,你随着我去一趟工部,我要火药厂的进出记录。当量这么大的火药,不可能偷运出去。” paused, then supplemented: „Before then, we must first look to sacrifice the skeleton of soldiers.” 顿了顿,接着补充:“不过在这之前,我们必须先看一看牺牲士卒的尸骨。” Three Silver Gong look at each other in blank dismay, discovered that this little brother handles matters is very credible, methodical of task management, is clear thinking, the logic is meticulous, Yang Feng and Min Shan two Silver Gong received and does not trust his contempt. 三位银锣面面相觑,发现这个小老弟办事还挺靠谱,任务安排的有条不紊,思路清晰,逻辑缜密,杨峰和闵山两位银锣收起了对他的轻视和不信任。 Engages in introspection, changes into them, it is estimated that without can give such clear transparent direction quickly, the ponder for a long time, can stroke the clear mentality. 扪心自问,换成他们,估计没这么快就能给出这么清晰明了的方向,怎么也得思考好久,才能捋清思路。 The corpse was collected in the military compound, Imperial Army leads them to arrive at outside a tent, lifts the curtain screen, inside is blocks from the deceased remains with the plain white cloth the corpse. 尸首被敛在军营里,禁军带着他们来到一座营帐外,掀开帘子,里面是一具具用白布遮住遗容的尸体。 In nearby two big accounts is the same corpse, this time in the soldiers who nearby Mulberry Lake go on patrol, total 312 people, complete sacrifice. 附近两座大帐里是同样的尸体,本次在桑泊附近巡逻的士卒,共计三百十二人,全部牺牲。 Xu Qi'an lifts the plain white cloth, is looking at carefully the pitiful condition of each corpse. 许七安掀开白布,端详着每一具尸体的惨状。 „Do you also meet the autopsy?” Yang Feng sees his look to be getting more and more serious, cannot bear ask: „What discovered?” “你还会验尸？”杨峰见他神色越来越严肃,忍不住问道:“发现了什么？” „Discovers an important matter.” “发现一件大事。” „You said.” Three Silver Gong spirits inspire, the Imperial Army group leader who shows the way also looked. “你说。”三位银锣精神一振,就连领路的禁军小头目也看了过来。 Xu Qi'an said slowly: „Discovered that my oneself is only small Copper Gong, meets the fight, but must three Sirs try hard.” 许七安缓缓道:“发现我自己只是个小小的铜锣,遇到战斗,还得三位大人努力啊。” All soldiers dead shapes are exactly the same, by some sorcery suck dry essence blood, the body did not have other wounds. 所有士卒死状如出一辙,都是被某种妖法吸干精血,身上没有其他伤口。 This method, is not Qi Refining Boundary can cope. 这份手段,不是练气境能对付的。 When the time comes really runs into the thief, Xu Qi'an also can only the big hand wield: To/Clashes to me! 到时候真的遇到贼人,许七安也只能大手一挥:给我冲！ oneself careless in behind. 自己苟在后面。 ..... ..... Xu Qi'an brings Min Shan to rush to Ministry of Works, has the gold medal to lead the way, opens access. 许七安带着闵山赶往工部,有金牌开路,畅通无阻。 He sought the official in management powder factory, said: „this official must check in the past one month the production and note for use of gunpowder.” 他寻了管理火药厂的官员,道:“本官要查近一个月内火药的生产、使用记录。” The account is very easy to create a false impression, the most universal technique is the exaggerating amount of use. For example makes a number of shells, only needs 200 kilograms gunpowder, but when the record, wrote 300 kilograms. 账册是很容易造假的,其中最普遍的手法就是夸大使用量。比如制造一批炮弹,只需要两百公斤的火药,但在记录时,写成三百公斤。 Again when for example manufacture gunpowder, the raw material that transports can make 200 kilograms gunpowder, but writes intentionally few quantity of raw material, the gunpowder that like this makes unnecessarily can harbor. 再比如制造火药时,运输过来的原材料可以制造两百公斤的火药,但故意把原材料的量写少,这样多余制造的火药就可以私藏。 But these methods cannot withstand, any crime has the traces. 但这些手段都经不起查,任何犯罪都有蛛丝马迹。 Xu Qi'an does not trust the Ministry of Works official, sends people the Nightwatcher yamen to adjust the oneself petty local official, dozens people of enormous and powerful spilling into Ministry of Works. 许七安不信任工部的官员,派人去打更人衙门调来自己的吏员,数十人浩浩荡荡的涌进工部。 This is a tedious process, the work load is very big, because must go to the raw material collection evidence collection, to verify. 这是一个繁琐的过程,工作量很大,因为还得去原料采集地取证、核实。 .... .... After Ministry of Works has had the lunch, Xu Qi'an comfortable sitting picks the teeth on the big chair, the looks at petty local official and Copper Gongs bustle about. 在工部吃过午饭后,许七安舒坦的坐在大椅上剔牙,看着吏员和铜锣们忙碌。 Is responsible Yang Feng that investigates in Court of Judicial Review, Ministry of Rites and palace to serve as a petty government official to send people to notify. 负责调查大理寺、礼部、宫中当差的杨峰派人回来报信。 „Court of Judicial Review and Ministry of Rites have three petty local officials to be missing respectively, in the palace serves as a petty government official also three people missing.” That notifying Copper Gong said. “大理寺和礼部各有三名吏员失踪,宫中当差的也有三人失踪。”那位报信的铜锣说道。 In the imperial palace, position quite low eunuch called the manservant. Usually does the odd jobs. 皇宫里,地位比较低的宦官叫当差。通常是干杂活的。 „When missing?” Xu Qi'an sat straight the body, worked loose from the lazy condition instantaneously. “什么时候失踪的？”许七安坐直了身子,瞬间从慵懒的状态中挣脱。 „Related person who are responsible for the ancestor worshiping ceremony concluding and others, completely detains by Ministry of Justice and prefecture yamen jointly, they refuse to associate with people to us.” Helpless Copper Gong said: „Silver Gong Yang is confronting with the Ministry of Justice person, refuses to compromise.” “负责祭祖大典收尾的相关人等,全部被刑部和府衙联手扣押,他们拒绝向我们交人。”铜锣无奈道:“杨银锣正在与刑部的人对峙,僵持不下。” „Dares to snatch the person with our Nightwatcher?” The Xu Qi'an eyebrow is but actually vertical. “敢跟我们打更人抢人？”许七安眉毛倒竖。 Although joined the Nightwatcher date and time is still shallow, but has contaminated the Nightwatcher rampant domineering arrogance. 虽然加入打更人时日尚浅,但已经沾染了打更人嚣张跋扈的气焰。 Copper Gong explained: „Ministry of Justice and prefecture yamen also received your majesty order, is responsible for investigating. Is the sovereign assigns/life in the body, then did not fear us. The gold medal that on Silver Gong Yang gift of the emperor, making the villain catch up to inform the Sir with great speed.” 铜锣解释道:“刑部和府衙同样收到了陛下的命令,负责查案。都是皇命在身,便不怵我们了。杨银锣身上没有御赐的金牌,让小人火速赶来通知大人。” Usually the Nightwatcher position be higher than other yamen, but a situation exception, that is under Emperor the aim. 平时打更人的地位要比其他衙门高,但有一种情况例外,那就是皇帝下旨。 „Walks, in the past important person!” Xu Qi'an had a fit of bad temper. “走,过去要人！”许七安炸毛了。 Emperor lets Ministry of Justice and prefecture yamen simultaneously mixes this case, this is not strange, many cases investigate in every way together, the only yamen, the manpower is limited, itself has the duty, must handle other matter, is very difficult to put in all manpower and resources. 皇帝同时让刑部和府衙掺和此案,这并不奇怪,许多大案都是多方共同调查,单凭一个衙门,人手有限,本身就有职务,要处理别的事,很难投入所有人力物力。 The advantage of common investigation is in every way obvious, but the drawback equally is also obvious, that snatches the merit! 多方共同调查的好处显而易见,但弊端也同样明显,那就是抢功！ „To me, was not the Mulberry Lake case breaks me to be all right, I must perform the pivotal merit in this case, the royal government can avoid my capital crime, if the small achievement has not stood, perhaps was difficult the punishment that escaped Vegetable Market to behead .... Who dares to obstruct me to handle a case, is impolite!” “对我来说,并不是桑泊案破了我就没事,我必须在此案中立下举足轻重的功劳,朝廷才能免除我的死罪,如果寸功未立,恐怕难逃菜市口砍头的处罚....谁敢阻扰我办案,绝不客气！” Related to the lives and properties, Xu Qi'an has not delayed, grasps the coal long blade on table, looks all around the petty local officials, bright sound said: 涉及到身家性命,许七安没有耽搁,抓起桌案上的黑金长刀,环顾众吏员,朗声道: „You continued to investigate, all production, consumptions and other records investigates thoroughly until now the year, finds out the clue, everyone enjoys the silver 22.” “尔等继续查案,把年中至今所有的生产、消耗等记录都彻查一遍,查出端倪,每人赏银二十两。” As directing official, he has the power to give certain reward, is rewarded to come by the Nightwatcher yamen. 作为主办官,他是有权力给予一定的奖赏的,奖赏由打更人衙门来出。 Petty local officials who the Nightwatcher yamen comes, each one pair of eyes illumination. 打更人衙门来的吏员们,个个双眼发光。 Two ten taels of silver, arrive at they a half year of salary. 二十两银子,抵他们半年的俸禄。 Leaves behind the petty local official, Xu Qi'an brings Silver Gong Min Shan and other Copper Gong, hastily leaves Ministry of Works, rides the fast horse, rushes to Ministry of Justice. 留下吏员,许七安带着银锣闵山和其余铜锣,匆匆离开工部,骑乘快马,赶往刑部。 Ministry of Justice leaves is not far, cannot burn a joss stick at high speed, Xu Qi'an then saw the Ministry of Justice red lacquer front door. 刑部离的不远,快马加鞭一炷香不到,许七安便看到了刑部的红漆大门。 The entrance guards with large army, two rows of wearing armor and carrying weapons armed soldiers are defending. 门口重兵把守,两列披坚执锐的甲士守着。 Yang Feng kept off with six Copper Gong outside, both sides are confronting. 杨峰与六位铜锣被挡在外面,双方正在对峙。 „Ministry of Justice receives orders the investigation, excels at Ministry of Justice, hindrance case, executes summarily.” Is the middle-aged military officer of head, according to the blade, scolded Nightwatcher single-handed. “刑部奉旨查案,擅长刑部,阻碍办案者,格杀勿论。”为首的一位中年军官,单手按刀,呵斥打更人。 Dozens armed soldier holding down hilts. 身后,数十位甲士按住刀柄。 The Yang Feng forehead blue vein anger splits, has never had the so aggrieved time probably, the past unimportant person also dares to scold him face to face. 杨峰额头青筋怒绽,大概是从未有过如此憋屈的时候,以往的小人物也敢当面呵斥他。 Although he holding down hilt, actually does not dare to be crude, directing official here, he does not have the qualifications saying that receives orders to handle a case. Ministry of Justice must know that Nightwatcher is also ordered to participate in this case, actually blocks intentionally outside. 他虽也按住刀柄,却不敢鲁莽,主办官不在此,他没资格自称奉旨办案。刑部不可能不知道打更人也奉命参与此案,却故意把人拦在外面。 This is intentionally is disgusting they, trips somebody up to them intentionally. 这是故意恶心他们,故意给他们使绊子。 „Hey!” Is the middle-aged military officer of head sneers one, single-handed according to blade, distant sees to ride a horse racing to come numerous Nightwatcher. “嘿！”为首的中年军官冷笑一声,单手按刀,远远的看见骑马奔来的一众打更人。 „Ministry of Justice handles a case, the irrelevant person and others excelled at rushing to Ministry of Justice, executes summarily!” “刑部办案,无关人等擅闯刑部,格杀勿论！” He just shouted, sees to progress in frontline that young Copper Gong, extracted the army crossbow of waist, touching off trigger without hesitation. 他刚喊完,就看见策马在最前方的那名年轻铜锣,抽出了腰间的军弩,毫不犹豫的扣动扳机。 ps: Asked the monthly ticket! ps:求月票！ In the evening also has one chapter. It is estimated that must be little too late. Did not say that explodes the liver. 晚上还有一章。估计要有点晚。不说了,爆肝去。
