The alley was so quiet that only the sound of wind and crickets could be heard. Su Ruo was sitting in the carriage outside, with her heart in her throat. At this moment, it would be false to say that she was not nervous. Inside, it was the first time between Han Mo and the murderer.

In a fierce battle, who knows if there is a murderer lurking in the dark?

"somebody is coming!"

The guards rushed around.

Su Ruo didn't dare to express his anger, but then the guards said: "It's the Crown Prince!"

These three words were like knives, and they suddenly loosened the rope that tightened Su Ruo's heartstrings. She opened the car curtain, and saw several figures running towards her under the moonlight in the distance. The first one was carrying a baggage.

, tall and tall like a moving green pine, who is that if not Han Mo?!

"how's it going?"

She pushed open the carriage door.

"It should be there."

Han Mo couldn't help but jump on the carriage, and then opened the baggage. A three-inch-long paulownia box suddenly appeared in front of him!

Su Ruo's chest tightened: "This is the copper box left by Yuan Qing?!"

"To be precise, this is the copper box that Lin Rong said before!" Han Mo looked at her, "She really wasn't talking nonsense."

"Very good!"

Su Ruo couldn't hold back her excitement, "You can't find any place even after you've worn iron shoes. It didn't take much effort to get here. Fortunately, you went there in time just now!"

Han Mo nodded solemnly and packed the baggage again: "Let's go back to Taiping Hutong and open this box in front of Lin Rong!"

Su Ruo agreed: "There are my lock-making tools in Taiping Hutong, and it is convenient to open the copper box. But won't there be any problems there? Is there someone who has already attacked Lin Rong?"

"They can't do it. Everyone in the house knows martial arts."

"That's good - let's catch the train!"

This trip was all about returning home, but within a short time we were back at Taiping Hutong.

Sure enough, as Su Ruo guessed, the house was in a mess, and it looked like there had been a fight. But as Han Mo said, the servants of the Han family who came out clearly told Lin Rong that everything was fine.

As long as the person is fine, don't worry about anything else. When they arrived at the small side courtyard, the maid helped Lin Rong out. There was still a look of panic on her face, but she was no worse than before.

"Is it this box?"

Han Mo opened the baggage and asked her directly.

"Yes, that's it!"

Lin Rong pointed at the box, her fingers trembling with excitement.

Han Mo then looked at Su Ruo, and Su Ruo stepped forward: "Let me take a look."

Han Mo stopped her: "Be careful, the gunpowder machine Yuan Qing mentioned is most likely inside."

"It doesn't matter." Su Ruo tilted her head slightly, "You can have someone go over there and get all my utensils."

The copper box had an ordinary appearance and was about the same size as the one Han Mo took to Su's house before. There was a lock on the box, which was about two inches long.

"It's three yellow locks."

Su Ruo came to a conclusion after reading it.

"Is there a trap?" Han Mo was obviously still worried about this.

"There's no problem with the lock, the problem is with the lid." Su Ruo finished speaking and looked at Lin Rong, "Have you ever opened this box?"

"I didn't. It is what it looked like when Ah Qing gave it to me. He wouldn't let me open it and look at it. He said it would kill someone if I made a mistake!"

Lin Rong said it very solemnly, and his expression was very cooperative, showing a fearful and ferocious look.

"Does that mean you don't have the key?"

Lin Rong shook his head.

Su Ruo felt confident. The maid here had already brought her utensils. She took out the screw gloves and put them on. First she used a silver stick to open the copper lock, and then she felt that there was a hidden lock on the box.

.She took off her right glove and fumbled with the lock cylinder for a while, then took out another tool and carefully inserted it into the lock cylinder.

The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Everyone tried their best to control even their breathing as silently as possible. Han Mo stood tightly behind Su Ruo to ensure that if there was any accident, he would be the first to do so.

Take Su Ruo out of danger for a while.

"Crack."

Just when everyone was worried, a slight sound came from inside the copper box, and then Su Ruo gently lifted the lid, and the lid bounced upward!

Han Mo immediately moved forward.

"Sure enough, there is a box!" Su Ruo pointed to the half-open box to show him.

On the upper level of the box that was full of boxes, one end of an iron wire rope was connected to a fire rod, and the other end was connected to the keyhole that Su Ruo had just touched.

"Once the operation is wrong, the wire will rub the fire inside and detonate the gunpowder in the lower layer. Even if no one is killed, the items stored inside will be destroyed."

Han Mo looked at her: "Isn't this the same information I got before?"

Su Ruo nodded, and then started to clean the gunpowder and gunpowder in the box.

Han Mo watched her dismantle them one by one, and his hands hanging by his sides were already sweating.

"There's really something down there!"

Su Ruo spoke excitedly, speeding up to take out the things from the bottom of the box.

"How many files are there!" She handed them to Han Mo, "Look what's written in them?!"

Han Mo took it in his hand and immediately frowned. "It's from the Ministry of War. It's——"

At this point he stopped abruptly.

Su Ruo couldn't help but said: "Who is it?!"

Han Mo looked at her deeply and said slowly: "It's Chang Wei."

"Chang Wei?!"

Hearing this name, Su Ruo was also stunned.

It has been recognized that there are problems in the Ministry of War. Han Mo and the others have even listed several people as targets, but no matter how they checked, they never listed Chang Wei among the targets from beginning to end, because they had defeated Xue in the first place.

The person who tolerated the traitorous minister was Chang Wei!

"Take a closer look! Are you mistaken?" Su Ruo reminded, "Chang Wei has a good reputation in the court. After Xue Rongyiyu, his reputation has also increased. I can't find him.

Is there any reason to join forces with Luo Zhi!"

Han Mo handed her the file in his hand: "There can be no mistake. What is written on it is a complaint accusing Chang Wei of unknown origins of his family's property, which includes his various properties inside and outside Gyeonggi. At least more than half of it.

The above were purchased by him in recent years, including several villages in the southern suburbs."

Su Ruo looked at the three words Nanjiao Town clearly highlighted on the paper, and suddenly her throat tightened.

"You mean, if Chen Min and the others buy the farm in Wuertun, that farm will also appear on this list?"

"It's obvious." Han Mo opened the remaining files and looked at them. "Basically, they are all accused of corruption and perversion of the law. There is also some evidence of his collusion with Luo Zhi. Especially this one——"

When he said this, he opened an envelope among the files: "This is a clue we got when we were still feeding in Donglin and investigating the officials. This one has a lot to do with Luo Zhi. It points out

Most of the property Luo Zhi received from local officials at all levels went to the Chang family!"

The letter was also handed to Su Ruo.

Su Ruo's expression was as ugly as the messy courtyard outside the window.

"Since the evidence points to him, Luo Zhi's behavior can be explained. With Chang Wei's current position of power, Luo Zhi cannot break it and can only obey his orders.
