But soon, the person in charge calmed down instantly.
"Hmph! The elixir of immortality!? If there really is the elixir of immortality in the world, then how could the former Qin Shi Huang die?! It's just a rumor!"
The man in Jinyi softened his tone and said, "Your Highness, although it's just a rumor, it's still an opportunity! I'll do whatever it takes for Your Highness and your Majesty!"
The person in charge smiled disdainfully, "To put it nicely, it's not just for yourself. The daughter of the Liu family was raped and killed by you for the sake of the Emperor's secret treasure?! You poisoned a county student for the Emperor's secret treasure?! You set the mountain on fire!
Also for the secret treasure of the First Emperor!? Don’t do anything evil, it’s all for Gu?! Gu Gu can’t bear this bad reputation!?”
The man in Jinyi originally thought he had escaped, but was made lonely and timid by the words of the person in charge. He thought he could fool him, but he didn't expect to be seen through at a glance!
The man in Jinyi still made a quibble, "Your Highness, although I have my own reasons, I kill people to prevent the news from leaking! If the news of Emperor Qin's secret treasure is known to the Sixth Department of Darkness, even if the elixir can be obtained in the end, it will be given away in the end.
If it is in the hands of the emperor, what use will it be to His Highness?!"
When the person in charge heard the words, the movements of his hands were slightly stagnant. The emperor was in poor health, and he was afraid that his end was not far away. Under such circumstances, if he really knew the whereabouts of the elixir of immortality, even if it was just a legend, it would not be possible.
May give up.
If this is really the case, then what Jin Yiren did is actually the right thing to do.
"I know! You tell me first! What's going on now!?"
After the person in charge learned about the situation, he decided to take action personally. Originally he just wanted to save the life of the man in Jinyi, but now he had to deal with the aftermath himself!
"Your Highness, my plan was so thorough that everyone who might recognize my identity should understand the case. But who knew that old woman had to beat the drum? Fortunately, nothing was found in the end. Now the rest has been revealed to me.
Silenced! This was originally an unsolved case! Unexpectedly, Yang Qingyuan has really found out some clues now!?"
"Is there anyone alive who has seen you?!"
"Everyone else has been confirmed dead and the bodies have been examined. Well... the old woman and Li Shou's daughter should also be dead!"
A trace of suspicion flashed in the eyes of the person in charge.
"Should!? You didn't confirm?!"
The man in Jinyi hesitated before saying, "Well, the old woman died in Pingshan County, Jizhou. I can't personally examine it, but according to the news from my subordinates, the old woman's body has been examined! The death can be confirmed.
.”
"Um!"
"As for that little girl?! She was hit by that palm. Unless there is a fairy medicine, she will definitely not survive!"
The person in charge nodded and said, "Think about it again, what else did you miss!?"
After thinking for a while, the man in Jinyi said, "Now the only connection between me and Wannian County is the Wanli Gambling House! By the way! I also gave Liu Xue a fan pendant, through which I obtained the secret of Emperor Qin's Mausoleum.
Key. There should be nothing else!"
"I know it, I will lend you some help again, and you can handle the rest by yourself!"
"Thank you, Your Highness..."
----------
In the Liu Mansion, Yang Qingyuan and Meng Jue have returned to the main hall.
"This 'Tianwen' was given to Master Yang as a gift! I heard that Master Yang's swordsmanship is unparalleled in the world, and 'Tianwen' can be regarded as a match for Master Yang!"
Meng Jue seemed very enthusiastic, and now he was counting on Yang Qingyuan and Zhou Ting behind him to avenge his daughter.
"Be prepared, too. I will report your existence to the Emperor. However, you have not done anything rebellious or conspired to rebel. The Emperor's benevolence will definitely not punish you."
Yang Qingyuan's words cannot be regarded as completely comforting Meng Jue, they are basically stating a fact.
First of all, regardless of historical limitations, Emperor Zhou was personally "benevolent" and would not easily punish the maids and servants. He lived an ordinary life, but he never deducted the monthly wages of the maids in the palace. He even surpassed the previous emperor in punishing the maids.
At that time, there were few implicated actions...etc.
Secondly, this is also a good opportunity for the imperial court to establish its prestige among the private scholars.
The founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty was based on the premise of repelling the slaves and expelling the Tartars! If you can also treat the former Qin royal family and the remaining ministers well, it will be a highlight in the history books.
Of course, the premise of all this is that these people were no longer a threat in the former Qin Dynasty.
After saying goodbye to Meng Jue, Yang Qingyuan walked towards the direction of Guanyi.
Tonight's trip to the Liu Mansion was fruitful and a great breakthrough was made in the case. Yang Qingyuan was in a good mood.
But before taking two steps, Yang Qingyuan saw that the sky in the west of the city was getting brighter and brighter, and was dyed red with red light.
The fire that can make the sky red is beyond description.
Yang Qingyuan's figure flashed, turning into blue smoke and shooting towards the direction of the fire. If he guessed correctly, it was the Wanli Gambling House that caught fire.
Wannian County is not a big town, but within a few moments, Yang Qingyuan arrived at the location of the fire.
Not just one location, the street was lit up!
When Yang Qingyuan arrived at the fire scene, Di Zhiyuan and Song Huifu had also arrived.
Si Xuanwei from Wannian County has arrived!
Xuan, Yin Rui, means fire. Si Xuan holds fire and prevents fire, which is equivalent to the fire department in later generations.
"grown ups!?"
Song Huifu and Di Zhiyuan were also surprised when they saw Yang Qingyuan. Didn't Yang Qingyuan go to the Liu Mansion?! How could this fire scene suddenly appear?
"Let the brothers put out the fire first! We'll talk about the rest later!"
Yang Qingyuan threw Tianwen in his hand to Song Hui's father, his figure changed, and he approached the edge of the fire with Qingzhi in hand.
Still three feet away from the fire, Yang Qingyuan could feel the rolling heat wave coming.
Yang Qingyuan is an innate person, and although his sense of smell is not as good as Xiao Hei, the number one tracking expert in Dali Temple, it is still far better than ordinary people.
Although the smell was very light, Yang Qingyuan still smelled the smell of kerosene in the air.
This was not a careless fire, but a deliberate fire.
Its target is the Wanli Gambling House located on this street.
In the case of Li Shou, Wanli Gambling House also had problems!
It was in this Wanli Gambling House that Li Shou was finally arrested. When he was arrested, Li Shou was beaten so badly that his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, making it difficult to recognize his true face.
If I say it was just the right time, no one would believe it!
In the fire scene, there were all the sounds of burning wood, the sound of pulling and collapsing, the sound of the whistling wind, and the sound of hundreds and thousands of people working together;
Then there were the people's cries for help in the street, the sounds of people dragging their houses, snatching, and splashing water.
Although Si Xuanwei was a soldier specializing in fire-fighting, he had not received systematic training, had no professional equipment, and had never experienced a fire of such intensity. He could only try his best to put out the fire with water.
When Yang Qingyuan was about to put out the fire together, he suddenly heard the sound of a baby crying from the third floor of a house.
Yang Qingyuan's figure immediately appeared above the fire field.
"Keng!"
Qingzhi unsheathed, and a brilliant sword light knocked down the roof of the third floor!
The Xiantian True Yuan formed a barrier around Yang Qingyuan, temporarily blocking out the high temperature.
But similarly, the consumption of real energy is also alarmingly fast.
When Yang Qingyuan fell, he saw the swaddled baby crying loudly.
Not far away, the child's parents had been buried in the fire and turned into charred corpses.
The raging fire was approaching the baby, and the high temperature of the flames made the child's natural instinct feel danger.
Yang Qingyuan drew his true energy from his palm and sucked the baby into his palm from three feet away.
Wudang's secret skill - Crane Control Technique.
This is a set of stunts used by Wudang disciples to exercise their control over the true energy. Yang Qingyuan has already mastered it to great perfection, and is equipped with innate true energy, which he can control like an arm.
Holding the baby in his arms, Yang Qingyuan swung the green sword in his right hand again. Thousands of sword energy moved with the sword, scattering the flames coming towards his face. Yang Qingyuan seized the gap, and with a light body, he jumped ten feet, several
Between the ups and downs, he flew out of the fire.
After handing the baby in his arms to Song Hui's father, Yang Qingyuan rushed into the fire again.
Yang Qingyuan relied on his martial arts to enter and exit the fire scene seven times. After confirming that no one was left, Yang Qingyuan returned to the edge of the fire scene.
"Thank you, sir!"
A group of rescued people, as long as they were still conscious, immediately knelt down and thanked them.
Yang Qingyuan was unable to help everyone up immediately because he had lost too much real energy, but he immediately reacted and used his remaining real energy to lift everyone up.
"You don't need to be polite. If you are injured, treat it as soon as possible. If you can still move, stay away immediately. The fire continues to spread!"
Later, the city defense troops also rushed to the scene, but it was impossible to use buckets alone to have an effect on such a fire.
Yang Qingyuan had no choice but to order the demolition of the houses along the street, remove combustible materials to prevent the flames from spreading, and then find ways to continue to put out the fire.
The fire continued until dawn, and it was not until a timely rain poured down that the fire was extinguished.
Yang Qingyuan and his party did not leave either. As soon as the fire was extinguished, Yang Qingyuan and others led the Dali Temple police officers into the fire scene.
Maybe I can find some clues at this moment.
Yang Qingyuan arrived at the original location of the gambling house. Although the fire had burned down, Yang Qingyuan's nose could still smell the smell of kerosene in the scorched air.
This is the source of the fire.
Is there such kerosene in a gambling den that even a fire can't burn it off?!
This street is full of craftsmen living in various industries, with front shops and back rooms, so the fire caused considerable damage.
Si Xuanwei's people are entering the fire scene to clean up statistics, and it is estimated that they will be rewarded soon.
The former site of the gambling house was immediately surrounded by policemen under Yang Qingyuan.
It is still raining heavily at this moment. Rain and fire have always been the best tools to hide crimes. Even if there may be any traces left, it will be difficult to show them under the mix of water and fire.
A group of police officers from Dali Temple, wearing raincoats made of oilcloth and bamboo hats, were working in the heavy rain.
"Sir! This gambling house should be open for business normally at night! The brothers have now cleared out 150 charred corpses from the gambling house, and the follow-up cleaning is still in progress."
Song Hui's father was the first person to inspect traces in Dali Temple and even in the world. Naturally, he took charge of the inspection of the site.
"It's raining heavily now, so many inspections cannot be carried out. We can only continue after the rain!"
"Did any of our brothers get injured or killed last night?!"
Dali Temple yesterday sent six people, in groups of two, to keep an eye on the fire. With such a big fire, these six people may be in danger.
Di Zhiyuan, who was beside him, replied, "The sentries were set up separately to monitor Wanli Gambling House from different angles. Among them, two groups of brothers are missing. The group of brothers on the second floor diagonally opposite Wanli Gambling House is hidden more.
Well, you escaped!"
Yang Qingyuan looked at the scorched corpses on the ground, his tone was calm but filled with anger, "These brothers should be among these scorched corpses!"
Those who graduate from Dali Temple Criminal Law College are all outstanding, capable and promising young people!
In another sense, they are all students of Di Zhiyuan, Song Huifu and even Yang Qingyuan!
When Dali Temple Criminal Law College was first established, there was an extreme shortage of manpower. Yang Qingyuan, Di Zhiyuan, Song Huifu and even Ji Yaohua and Tie Chengxuan all served as teachers in the Criminal Law College!
Even today, when the Criminal Law School is becoming more and more complete, if there is no particularly urgent matter, Yang Qingyuan and others will go to the Criminal Law School to give lectures twice every ten days.
"They will not die in vain!"
Yang Qingyuan's eyes flashed with murderous intent. Every blood debt must be repaid with the blood of the mastermind behind the scenes!
"Let's go back to the hotel first! Leave four people behind to coordinate with Wannian County's Liumen policemen, and Wannian County's city defense troops will guard this place!"
Yang Qingyuan calmed down the anger in his heart. Anger cannot bring strength, let alone solve the mystery and find the truth.
Not only Yang Qingyuan, Song Huifu, Di Zhiyuan and other police officers in Dali Temple were all holding back their anger!
Yang Qingyuan and his party returned to the hotel.
"My lord, will you gain anything from going to the Liu Mansion?"
Di Zhiyuan was the first to ask. The clues to their gambling house were basically broken. Now they can only count on Yang Qingyuan to make a breakthrough here!
"This trip to Liu's Mansion can be described as more than just rewarding!"
Yang Qingyuan placed the Tianwen Sword on the table.
"This is the biggest reward!"
Di Zhiyuan and Song Huifu didn't know why. They really didn't know much about the anecdotes of the world and martial arts.
"This is Tianwen, the magic weapon that once ranked number one in the Tianji Tower sword manual!"
"..."
Di Zhiyuan and Song Huifu didn't understand what this had to do with the case, so they could only look at Yang Qingyuan helplessly.
"Of course, Tianwen's most important identity is the sword of the former Qin Shihuang! It is also one of the keys to the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum! It is an indispensable thing to obtain the First Emperor's secret collection!"
As soon as these words came out, Di Zhiyuan and Song Huifu understood instantly!
The people behind the scenes went to such great lengths to create various incidents and kill people to silence them, probably just to cover up the secrets of the First Emperor.
Yang Qingyuan told what he saw and heard in the Liu Mansion last night.
"So this case is also... what did those people do?!"
Di Zhiyuan asked subconsciously.
"It shouldn't be them!!" Yang Qingyuan shook his head and said, "Judging from the murderer's methods and style, he doesn't look like someone from the former Qin Dynasty. Instead, he looks like a powerful official of this dynasty!"
"However, Meng Jue has determined that the person in the net is the murderer of his daughter, so he is willing to cooperate with our investigation and avenge his daughter!"
"It seems that the person behind this case has a bigger background than we imagined!"
The First Emperor's Secret Treasures are not something that ordinary people dare to take for themselves. Those who dare to take the First Emperor's Secret Treasures privately must have their own intelligence system and high-end combat power.
Apart from the Six Anhui Department and Dali Temple, you can't find much in the capital!
The scope of the people behind the scenes has thus been greatly reduced, but it also means that it is greatly difficult for Yang Qingyuan to bring him to justice!
