This is because he wants to get some information from his side so that he can go back and report to Emperor Shunde.
It should be that the Ministry of Punishments failed to extract any useful information. After all, they were thinking in the wrong direction when it came to arson.
If he hadn't learned about the Flintstone Villa from Tang Zhijun, he wouldn't have thought of these things.
Chu Ge thought for a moment and said methodically: "I do have some clues."
"Oh, Colonel Ge, please tell me."
The eunuch's eyes lit up. He didn't have much hope at first, but he didn't expect that Ge Chu would really have clues.
Emperor Shunde was furious when the Ministry of Punishment failed to ask anything. If he could bring back useful information, he would surely make Long Yan very happy and gain a lot of points in front of His Majesty.
Another young father-in-law beside him immediately took out his pen and ink and prepared to write notes.
Chu Ge said slowly: "Actually, the fire in the palace last night was not set yesterday."
"What?"
The eunuch who originally had high expectations was shocked when he heard Chu Ge's words, and began to wonder if this guy was just talking nonsense.
How many days in advance can the fire be set?
Then it must have been burned out early?
Chu Ge smiled and explained: "Actually, the other party did not use an open flame to set the fire, but used white phosphorus, which is similar to the flint we commonly use. It can spontaneously ignite without fire."
white phosphorus?
The big eunuch's expression moved slightly, as if he had grasped something.
Lian asked: "Master Ge, if this white phosphorus is put in advance, it will burn. How is this different from using an open flame?"
Chu Ge shook his head and said:
"This group of thieves should have placed the white phosphorus in a container filled with water, calculated the approximate time it would take for the water to disappear, and hid the container in advance where the fire would start."
"After the water disappeared, white phosphorus emerged from the water. Coupled with the recent hot weather in Kyoto, fires spontaneously ignited, causing flooding in many places in the palace."
"And these secret agents in the palace, in order to get rid of their own suspicions, will definitely not release them on the same day or the day before, but a little longer in advance. Therefore, the people arrested by the Criminal Department will naturally not be able to find out anything."
The big eunuch looked excited, clapped his hands suddenly and said:
"Wonderful, you can do this without anyone noticing. No wonder the Punishment Department failed to arrest anyone. Mr. Ge is really a great detective."
Chu Ge shook his head modestly.
The chief eunuch asked again:
"Master Ge, what basis do you have for this white phosphorus?"
Chu Ge said: "I can think of this white phosphorus, thanks to a case handled in Yanhua County the day before yesterday."
After hearing this, the chief eunuch was sure that Ge Chu was indeed talented and not just a sensationalist.
So there was no rush and he waited patiently for Chu Ge to tell his story.
The young father-in-law who was responsible for taking notes looked attentive and moved his pen quickly, for fear of copying out the contents.
Chu Ge continued: "Yesterday in the palace, I mentioned to Your Majesty that I was responsible for investigating a case of the disappearance of an inspector of the Procuratorate."
"During the investigation, I met a bounty hunter in the world who was tracking a group of evil spirits."
Chu Ge roughly told what happened, including the evil sneak attack, and also told what Tang Zhijun said about the Flintstone Villa.
Then he said: "This kind of white phosphorus is rare in the production area of Dali. These evil spirits deliberately massacred the Flintstone Villa, and it must be for the white phosphorus in the village, so I made this inference."
"As for doing these things, including killing patrol guards to obtain waist badges and other things, and contacting Kyoto Anzi, I speculate that it was not done by the second-grade evil cultivator in the palace the night before, but was handed over to a close subordinate in the sect.
, such as the fifth-grade Taoist priest I encountered outside Yanhua County the day before yesterday."
"If you catch that fifth-grade evil cultist, you might be able to follow the clues. Not only can you master some information about the evil cult, but you can also dig out the hidden secrets in Kyoto."
“Kill two birds with one stone!”
After listening, the eunuch suddenly stood up from his chair.
He looked at the little eunuch who was responsible for recording and said, "Have you written everything down?"
The little eunuch put down the brush in his hand, handed a stack of rice paper to the big eunuch and said:
"Go back to the manager and write it all down."
The great eunuch looked at Chu Ge in front of him, his old face smiled like a chrysanthemum, and said:
"Our family will bring all this back to His Majesty and ask for credit from Mr. Ge. If Mr. Ge can catch the evil way and dig out the information about the holy religion and the secrets of Kyoto, it will be a great achievement. Your Majesty's
The rewards will certainly be abundant."
Chu Ge bowed and thanked him politely:
"Thank you, father-in-law, for your support, and thank you for your grace."
After saying goodbye hastily.
The eldest eunuch took the transcript and couldn't wait to return to the palace with the two young father-in-laws.
...
In the Inspectorate, Chu Ge's own small courtyard.
As an inspector of the Inspection Institute, Chu Ge still has his own main room in the institute, which is equivalent to an independent office in his previous life.
Open the wooden box given by Emperor Shunde.
There is a row of exquisite jade bottles placed inside, six bottles in total.
Chu Ge picked up one of the jade bottles and opened the mouth of the bottle. Immediately, a refreshing medicinal fragrance came out from the bottle.
Chu Ge glanced inside through the mouth of the bottle. There was a light blue elixir inside the bottle, which should be the so-called Fusion of God elixir.
The wooden box contains instructions for this God-melting elixir.
This elixir can help the warrior's spirit and body merge, and accelerate the warrior's transition from the sixth-level realm to the fifth-level realm. It is an extremely precious elixir that can only be refined by Shangqing Guanzhong.
What a good thing!
Chu Ge corked the bottle and looked at the six bottles of elixirs in the wooden box.
When I first broke through to the sixth level, due to the changes in the Immortal Dao Embryo, I stabilized my state on the day I broke through, and even made a lot of progress.
Coupled with the past two years of practice, I am not far away from breaking through to the fifth level.
Now with the addition of the God Fusion Pill, Chu Ge feels that he will be able to achieve a breakthrough in the near future.
Put away this God Fusion Pill temporarily.
Chu Ge stood in the courtyard. After sensing that there was no one else around, he slowly stretched out his right hand.
Hold your breath and concentrate.
After a while, around Chu Ge, there were lines of subtle colored energy that converged towards his right hand, forming a thin colored barrier that adhered to his right hand.
"It's done!"
There was a look of surprise on Chu Ge's face, and he was even more excited than before when he got the God Fusion Pill.
This is the power of the elements of heaven and earth.
Even if it is a Taoist sect, it must reach the second level of transcending tribulation before it can be initially controlled.
And as a martial artist, I can actually use some of them at the sixth level.
Although the power of heaven and earth that can be communicated and used is still very thin, far less powerful than the second level of Taoism, this power can also make one's strength go up to another level.
It's really an unexpected surprise.
And Chu Ge estimated that as his strength increases, the more power of heaven and earth he can communicate with.
I'm afraid that by then I will become a unique and flashy martial artist.
I was able to understand how to communicate the power of heaven and earth, thanks to the Taoist battle the night before.
The battle between the second-level Taoists is mainly to communicate the power of the elements of earth, fire, water and wind through the Dharma to form a powerful attack and defense.
When he was watching the battle again, the Immortal Dao Fetus in his body suddenly glowed with light cyan light.
Allowing yourself to vaguely see the trajectory of the power of heaven and earth, as well as Taoist communication methods.
Today's attempt was indeed effective.
Chu Ge temporarily dissipated the elemental power in his right hand and left the courtyard in a happy mood, preparing to go to the inn to visit the heroic and beautiful bounty guest.
