Chapter 149: The Opponent in the Mist
When he arrived in Chang'an, Yun Hao made a special turn to see the scene of the incident. A huge pit in the ground, silently telling of the power of the explosion. A bloodstained strip of cloth hung from the tree far away from the pit. Su Jin said that the guards of the Qi Palace's palace suffered heavy casualties, which was definitely not an exaggeration.
Looking at the size of the pit, at least it was a gunpowder bullet of more than 50 catties. With this yield, the roadside bombs of later generations are almost the same. Gunpowder is a thing that the academy looks like an eyeball. How can you steal fifty pounds of gunpowder bullets?
It was just a wolf's tooth arrow that hurt his son, but Li Yuanji's encounter can be called a terrorist attack. Thinking about Li Yuan's temperament to protect his calves, Yun Hao felt that it was not so easy to pass the test this time. In any case, Li Yuanji is Li Yuan's own son.
"Father, how can anyone else have such a thing as gunpowder. It must be Yun Hao, it must be Yun Hao! As soon as he stepped into the gate of the Taiji Hall, Yun Hao heard Li Yuanji's voice complaining.
Looking up, Yun Hao was taken aback. Li Yuanji knelt on the ground, looking like a mummy. The whole body was wrapped in white satin, and there were blood stains oozing from the arms and shoulders. I don't know if this thing is loaded, or if it is really so badly injured.
"Tell me, boy. Today's events have a lot to do with you. When Li Yuan saw Yun Hao walk in, he immediately stared at Yun Hao. Li Yuanji next to him was even more indignant, looking like he was going to pounce at any time.
"The kid has nothing to say, but it's really not the kid's doing. As for the origin of the gunpowder, please give the kid time. Wei Chen will naturally check clearly and give His Majesty an explanation. Yun Hao was also helpless, his own careful eyes led to this consequence. In these years, gunpowder was still a patented product. There is no semicolon for this family, and it may not be easy for Yun Hao to clear his name.
"Yun Hao, it's clear that you did it. Father, don't believe him. Cut him! Li Yuanji roared, as if the wound was involved, and Li Yuanji's voice became very sad.
Li Yuan looked at Li Yuanji and then at Yun Hao. He is happy to see the courtiers fighting with each other, and if everyone is good and I am so harmonious, then this emperor is very dangerous. Once there is a conflict between rights, it can only be resolved by the intervention of a larger right. Li Yuan happens to be the biggest power holder, and if you want to get Li Yuan's help, you have to get Li Yuan's trust.
However, things have reached the point of assassination, which Li Yuan does not want to see. In any case, the stability of the empire is paramount. Assassinations among nobles can easily cause chaos where everyone is at risk.
"Yun Hao, I give you this opportunity. Three days, you only have three days. If you can't find the real culprit within three days, hehe! I can only take your head to silence the mouths of all the ministers in the world. Li Yuan hesitated, now was not the time to kill Yun Hao.
That new type of gunpowder was too important to the Empire, and it was hard to say if it could be made without Yun Hao. I asked Wen Daya in private, and according to Wen Daya, the ratio of that thing was very complicated. Wen Daya, don't say that she wants to copy it, even if she can't figure out the raw materials.
Li Yuan believed that with Yun Hao's cleverness, he would definitely be able to find the real culprit in three days. Moreover, the production of gunpowder has always been very strict, and not only the academy has records. Even Li Yuan has a backup here, so it shouldn't be too difficult to check the source.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yun Hao felt bitter in his heart, it was a little difficult to find the real culprit in three days. However, Li Yuan's mouth is big and his mouth is small, and he can only continue what others say.
"Father...... Emperor!" Li Yuanji still wanted to argue, but was stopped by Li Yuan with gestures.
"If you really say three days, that's three days. Starting today, I'm curious to know what's going on. After Li Yuan finished speaking, he strode out of the Taiji Palace.
In the early winter, the flowers in the imperial garden withered, and the leaves that had dried up for a few days still hung tenaciously on the branches. Li Yuan walked among the dead branches and leaves, and his mood was extremely complicated.
"Who do you think did this?" Li Yuan walked to an inaccessible place on a withered branch, turned around and asked Su Jin. There was only Su Jin with him, and it was impossible to hide people in the emptiness around. Li Yuan wanted to say something secret, and he usually did it in this way.
The old slave thinks that Yun Hou should not do such a thing. And when the old slave went to Lintong, Yun Hou's house was also attacked. The eldest young master of the Yun family was shot with an arrow, but fortunately, the Yun family had a bear to help block it, otherwise the consequences would be terrible. Su Jin told Li Yuan what he had seen in the Yun family, and by the way, he also showed the wolf tooth arrow to Li Yuan.
"Yo he! This matter is getting more and more interesting, and the people in the court prison will also go out to investigate. The worshippers in the palace should move their muscles and bones. I wondered who had set up such a bureau, and what his purpose was. Li Yuan, who has a keen sense of political smell, feels that there must be a big conspiracy behind this.
For the current Tang Empire, he is not afraid of real battlefield fighting. But what I am most afraid of is this kind of private conspiracy. The reason why Yang Guang of the former Sui Dynasty betrayed his relatives was inseparable from a series of conspiracies. This kind of thing must not happen to yourself.
"No!" Slave and maid, let's arrange it!
Ignoring Li Yuanji's vicious curse, Yun Hao returned to Chang'an's mansion. Shut yourself in the study, and think about the ins and outs of things, but no matter how you think about it, you can't think of a reason.
It happened without warning, and his home was attacked. The son almost died, and so did Li Yuanji. thought that Li Yuanji directed and acted by himself, but after watching the scene, Yun Hao denied this idea. That kind of 50-pound gunpowder bullet was definitely not made by Li Yuanji. It's possible to pour five pounds, but it's definitely not okay to have fifty pounds.
And if Li Yuanji wants to perform, it is absolutely impossible to use fifty catties. He'd seen the power of this thing, and if it exploded at close range, it would have lifted him into the sky.
I didn't think of anything when I wanted to blow up, so I just didn't want to. Since people are deliberately making things, it will definitely not end like this. Sheng Yanshi is checking the gunpowder, waiting for the results of his inventory.
When the mood is relaxed, the stomach starts to rattle. It was dark last night, and I didn't eat this morning because of my son. Yun Hao, who has always eaten the biggest in the world, only felt that his front heart was close to his back at this time. At the sound of the command, the cook immediately brought the meal.
Red braised pork with crystal clear rice. The cook's skills have become more and more sophisticated, and the braised pork is burned fat but not greasy. When you eat it in your mouth, it actually has a meaning that melts in your mouth. I didn't have time to praise the cook, so I devoured a bowl of braised pork and a big bowl of rice. Pouring a pot of tea mouth-to-mouth, Yun Hao felt that he could beat the tiger to death now.
I just finished eating, and I didn't have time to clean up the dishes and chopsticks. Sheng Yanshi rushed to Chang'an City in a hurry, and Yun Hao felt bad when he saw his appearance.
"Say whatever you want!" Yun Hao tried to calm his mood and try to make his tone seem unwavering. At this time, if he messes up first, then the Yun family will be really messy.
"The stock of gunpowder has been checked, and there are two fewer gunpowder bullets of fifty pounds. The steward of the treasury had committed suicide and had hanged himself. Hang yourself in the storeroom! Fine beads of sweat erupted from Sheng Yanshi's head, and the matter was in his powder magazine. It can be said that it is his responsibility, and if he wants to cut off his head now, he will definitely have to do it.
"Two?" Despite being mentally prepared, Yun Hao was still shocked. What the power of fifty catties of gunpowder bullets looks like, Yun Hao knows best. There was only one attack on Li Yuanji, which means that there is another useless. This is a bit scary, such a thing exists in Chang'an City. What do those people want to do? But don't blow up the palace, once Li Yuan is injured, the Yun family guarantees that no one will survive.
"Ten thousand deaths to my subordinates!" Sheng Yanshi knelt on the ground with a "poof", he really deserved death for such a big mistake.
"Get up! It won't be that simple, and the people who guard the powder magazine can be trusted. Since the man is dead, then check it from his house. Check his wife and children, father and mother. What's more important is to see who he's fired lately. People have left a name and a goose, and as long as they have done something, they will naturally leave clues. You can't do it alone, go to Ling Jing's head and melon seeds, you should have some ghost idea. ”
Sheng Yanshi is a good hand on the battlefield, but it is still a little difficult for him to solve the case. Yun Hao thought of Ling Jing, this old guy's zodiac belongs to the fox, and doing this kind of thing just happens to be able to give full play to his strengths.
Sheng Yanshi answered with a "no" and turned around and went out to find Ling Jing.
Yun Hao thought about it, and still went to find Li Shentong. This old guy's power in Chang'an City is far from being comparable to himself. In addition, he also needs to find Li Er, many things are not within his authority, such as rewarding Chang'an City.
"What? Two gunpowder rounds missing? When Li Shentong heard the news, he was so shocked that he almost jumped up from his chair. The power of gunpowder bullets is huge, and there is this thing hidden in Chang'an City, so it can be repaid.
"One has exploded, I'm sure you've heard of it. King Qi was blown up by that gunpowder bomb, and the other one is now gone. I came to you to ask you for an idea. ”
"What an idea! Your kid is in big trouble now, and I heard that my father gave you three days. I don't have an idea yet, are you waiting to cut off your head? Li Shentong didn't speak, and Li Er's voice sounded outside the door.
Li Eryi walked in in a military uniform, and the leather armor on his body was oiled. Under the sun, the sparkling and bright armor have a fight.
Yun Hao had no choice but to repeat what he said to Li Shentong to Li Er. When Li Er heard this, he also frowned. There was a powder bomb hidden in Chang'an City that did not explode, and this matter was too significant. Broadly speaking, everyone in Chang'an City could be targeted. With the power of a gunpowder bullet, it is too easy to kill an individual. Li Er regretted a little that he didn't wear bright armor when he went out today, but wore this leather armor. There is a huge gap between the defensive attributes of the bright armor and the leather armor.
"Immediately seal off the city gates and check from house to house." Li Er's eyes were on fire, God knows who the other party's target is. Li Er planned to stay at Li Shentong's house and not go out, in case of an explosion, he didn't dare to bet that he had Li Yuanji's luck.
"If people dare to do this, they are probably not afraid to investigate. The current situation is that the other party can kill the kid by doing nothing. Your Majesty said that, he gave three days. In three days, where do you ask me to find that powder bullet and the real culprit behind the scenes. Yun Hao spread his hands helplessly, this time he was really forced into a corner.
"You don't have to block the gates to do this kind of thing. City fox society rats must be indispensable, first interrogate these people in Chang'an City. Their ears are generally bright. Li Shentong thought for a while and decided to start with the underground forces in Chang'an City first.
"Well, it works." Li Er nodded in agreement, many times the government can't do things. These city fox club rats can easily do it. Something like this happened, ask them if it's right.
"You have to be careful lately, God knows whose head that powder bullet will land. Lone went into the palace and reminded his father to be careful. For this kind of opportunity to show loyalty, how could Li Er let it go. Immediately enter the palace and prepare to play the good son of a worried father.
Yun Hao walked on the streets of Chang'an with the reins, and until now he didn't know who his opponent was. And what their purpose is and what they want to do. Yun Hao felt that there was a fog in front of him. I was punched by the fist that suddenly stretched out in the fog, but I didn't even know who the opponent was, what a fucking bag.
The streets of Chang'an are no different from the past, and the little two of the teahouse restaurant are still shouting hard. The orchid in the West City is still twisting with her belly exposed. Groceries sellers on the street are haggling, and a group of women are picking in front of the butcher's case. A foot of fat is naturally the most popular existence. Since Yunjia Zhuangzi began to make geldings, pork has gradually been accepted by the public.
The singers of Huichun Lou are still dressed so little, revealing their white flowers in broad daylight. With a colorful handkerchief in his hand, he shouted hard to the guests upstairs.
It was snowing, and Yun Hao felt a lot of white things suddenly fall around him. Pick up a piece that landed on your shoulder, this thing is very familiar. Isn't that ......!
Turned around and glanced at the hairpin building on the side of the road, and more than a dozen singers were competing for beauty in the Huichun Building opposite Zhenggen. This is a normal thing in the Qinglou, but Yun Hao still smells a different smell. It's just past noon, and it's far from the golden time for the Qinglou to open. These prostitutes seem to be in a hurry today. And what fell on your own shoulders ......!
It turns out that you are hiding here, but you want to know what is sacred for a while. Yun Hao took more than a dozen guards and walked into the hairpin building.
