Chapter 656: The Secret of the Moat (24)


All officials are well versed in the way of officialdom, and they have stepped forward to greet the Dragon Star Chart, regardless of whether the official rank is above the Dragon Star Chart, they are all polite and humble, and they are harmonious, especially the people in the Criminal Department, groveling, smiling all over their faces, and casually saying a word, they praised the Dragon Star Chart to the sky.Long Xingtu responded indifferently, but he was extremely shameless in his heart, Du Mingcheng was about to take over the post of secretary of the Criminal Department, and as Du Mingcheng's confidant and old department, these people rushed to please her.However, there is one exception, and that is Zhao Shilang.Originally, Zhao Shilang's voice was the highest, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty thought that the fat difference of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department must be in Zhao Shilang's bag, and even An Guohou's father and son also recommended Zhao Shilang.Who would have thought that the old emperor was unexpectedly suddenly summoned and promoted Du Mingcheng to ten levels in a row, from a seventh-grade county order, directly out of the general, and became a second-grade member of the imperial court!

In this way, those who are not convinced, naturally, Yan Jing and his party are even more jealous and indignant, the three law divisions of the imperial court, there are two opponents on the side, and the remaining one supervision yuan, which is directly under the emperor's supervision department, the left and right governors are only loyal to the emperor, and they have always maintained neutrality in the dispute between the two factions, so the Yan party has lost the protection of the law department and the yamen, how can it not be afraid?

After a few days of farewell, it was such a situation to meet again, Zhao Shilang looked at the high-spirited Dragon Star Chart, his mood was complicated, and his heart was full of mixed feelings."

Lord Zhao, what clues does the Criminal Department currently have, can you sue one or two?"

Long Xingtu took the initiative to break the deadlock, and his words and deeds were as always, neither humble nor arrogant, and the wind was light.Zhao Shilang recalled his thoughts and said: "At two o'clock on the night of the incident, many soldiers defending the city witnessed it with their own eyes, and several flames suddenly floated in the western section of the moat, some blue and some yellow, and a burst of stench dispersed with the wind, which was disgusting!"

And many flocculent things, moving quickly along the river section, at first glance slightly smaller, when you get closer, it is actually as huge as a cow, gradually turning into transparency, engulfing everything around!

After that, for four consecutive days, the same situation occurred every night, but the time was uncertain, or an hour earlier, or half an hour later, according to the witness's description, the hospital inspected the aquatic plants and water quality in the area where the crime occurred, and found some conditions. ”Speaking of this, Zhao Shilang turned his head sideways and said, "Imperial Doctor Li, you can come." ”"Yes!"

Imperial Physician Li stepped out and arched his hand: "Lord Long, after repeated investigations, we found miscanthus and stone sulfur in the meadow by the river, the miscanthus was burning in the flames, and the flames were yellow; Stone sulfur is easy to melt, has a blue flame, and will release a pungent odor.As for another strange phenomenon, it should be caused by borax, which is soluble in cold water and soluble in hot water, and easy to melt when burning, and is initially swollen and flocculent like flocculent, and then melted into transparent balls. ”After speaking, Imperial Physician Li presented a dossier, "This is the result of the consultation and argumentation of all the imperial doctors in the Tai Hospital, please take a look at it." ”Zhou Su added: "It's just a pity that the officers and soldiers squatted day and night, and they never caught any suspicious people, it seemed to be a vision that appeared out of thin air, and they never saw a single figure." ”Long Xingtu accepted the file, read it carefully, and then turned her head to look at Li Yanzhou, who was in an uncertain mood and taciturn, she intended to ease the relationship, so she asked, "Lord Li, what do you think?"

”Li Yanzhou said: "Since it has been confirmed that the vision is related to the Chinese medicine stone, it is not caused by demons.As long as the murderer is a human being, he will definitely leave evidence, but what the official thinks is, why did the murderer do such a thing?

What is the motivation?
