Li Canghai pondered while walking slowly among the ruins. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Inadvertently, he suddenly kicked something under his feet, making a loud noise.

Li Canghai glanced down and found that it was nothing more than a blackened iron chain that had been burned, and there was a black copper lock on the chain.

In addition, there are two knockers on the chain, and the whole chain is wound back and forth from the knocker several times, and the chain and the knocker are tightly entangled.

Li Canghai didn't think anything unusual at first, but when he saw the burned door, a thunderbolt suddenly flashed in his mind, his face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly bent down to pick up the chain.

Looking at the iron chain in his hand, Li Canghai seemed to think of something, and hurriedly walked towards the other two burned houses.

Sure enough, among the other two ruins, Li Canghai also found similar iron chains.

The same through the door knocker, the same copper lock.

Li Canghai looked at the three iron chains he picked up with a solemn expression, judging from his experience, it was no accident that these three iron chains appeared at the scene of the fire at the same time, and his intuition told him that there was probably another reason for this fire.

Thinking of this, Li Canghai immediately walked to the ruined windows and searched for them.

Li Canghai carefully rummaged through the ruins, not even sparing a single piece of charred wood.

After a stick of incense, Li Canghai found an almost charred window frame from a pile of ruins.

The window frame was square, and the middle window had long since been reduced to ashes, but at each of the four corners of the window frame, there was a plank of wood an inch thick.

The four planks were riveted to the corner window frames, and were unusually strong, but what was left of the planks was burned to ashes.

Li Canghai compared the width and angle of the four planks below, and found that the four planks at the four corners of the window frame were actually only two.

This made Li Canghai's brows furrow a little tighter.

"How so? Could it be that someone did it on purpose? Li Canghai looked at the window frame, and his eyes showed a look of confusion.

At this time, Han Qu led several monks over.

"My lord, these are the senior monks of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple." Han Qu bowed to Li Canghai.

Li Canghai looked at a few monks and asked, "How many masters, I don't know if you can recognize Huiguang?" ”

One of the old monks nodded and said, "Go back to my lord, the old man recognizes it." ”

"Then do you know where Huiguang is now?" Li Canghai asked.

The old monk shook his head: "Since Huiguang went out yesterday, he has never returned to the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, and the old man doesn't know where he went. ”

Li Canghai touched his chin, sighed, and then asked people to take a few monks to overtake the dead.

"Lord Han, I have a few questions I want to ask you." Li Canghai put his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice.

"Your Excellency, please speak." Han Qu said respectfully.

"This official asked you to detain all the infected people, but why are the people who are not poisoned also imprisoned?" Li Canghai asked in a cold voice.

Han Qu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "My lord, the people detained by the lower officials are all people who have been bitten by cats and dogs, or scratched by others. It's just that the lower officials don't know who was poisoned, so just in case, the lower officials imprisoned them all. ”

When Li Canghai heard this, he frowned slightly.

Han Qu shrunk his neck and said cautiously: "My lord, this tragedy has caused dozens of deaths, and this incident happened in the capital, if it reaches the ears of the saint, how can it be good?" ”

Li Canghai glanced at him and said lightly: "Since this matter is the order of this official, if the Holy Lord asks, the official will bear it, and it will not affect you, Lord Han." ”

Han Qu hurriedly bent down and smiled awkwardly: "My lord misunderstood, the lower official is not worried about being punished, but just ...... It's just that Xia Guan is the Yin of Chang'an Mansion, and now that such a major event has happened, Xia Guan can't explain it to the saint! ”

"Lord Han, the official said that the official will take care of this matter, so you don't have to think about it. I ask you, did you notice anything unusual before you found out that the house was on fire? Li Canghai asked.

Han Qu asked a little dazed, "I don't know what the adults are referring to?" ”

"Before you left here to collect herbs, did you see any suspicious people coming in and out of here?" Li Canghai frowned and asked.

Han Qu thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "Before going to the water, this place has been under blockade, and there are officials guarding it, and the lower officials haven't seen anyone who can do it!" ”

After hesitating for a moment, Han Qu asked curiously, "Why do you ask that?" ”

Li Canghai sighed and said, "It's okay, the official is just asking casually." ”

After a pause, Li Canghai continued: "Lord Han, this official still has some important things to do, and I will leave it to you here." After all the bodies were cleared, their families came to identify them. The official will pay 100 taels of gold for the burial of the victims and compensation for their families, and this matter will be supervised by Lord Lao Han. ”

"My lord's benevolence and righteousness are unparalleled, please accept the bows of the lower officials!" As he spoke, Han Qu gave Li Canghai a big salute.

"Lord Han doesn't need to be polite, after the official returns, he will immediately send someone to send the gold, and it must be distributed to everyone who suffers." Li Canghai admonished.

"Your Excellency, rest assured, the lower officials will take this matter seriously and will never disappoint your hardship!" Han Qu said solemnly.

After the explanation, Li Canghai returned to Dali Temple.

Not long after, at three o'clock in the afternoon, Ben Bo'er Ba came to report that several of the arrested hexagram masters had been executed, and their heads were hung on the city gate.

Li Canghai was still a little worried that the 'Reverse Scale Xuanwu' would use all his methods to rescue a few people, but he did not relax until he was sure that the prisoner was Gao Luochuan, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and he had personally examined the body.

The few hexagram masters who were caught have been jointly imprisoned by the palace forbidden army and the Jianning Iron Guard, which can be said to be heavily guarded, and the emperor ordered that no one was allowed to approach the cell, even if someone wanted to transfer the bag, it was unlikely.

Although the 'Reverse Scale Xuanwu' was not completely eradicated, the 'Eight Great Hexagram Masters' lost most of it, but it was also an extremely serious blow to them.

At least in the short term, 'Reverse Scale Xuanwu' will be seriously damaged and will not take any further action.

What worries him the most at the moment is the whereabouts of Huiguang and Hongyan.

The two of them had gone to detoxify the infected people, but those infected people would die, and the whereabouts of the two were unknown.

What happened in this is unknown to anyone.

Only by finding the two of them can we know what all this is all about.

After pondering for a long time, Li Canghai asked Ben Bo Erba and Ba Bo Er to do their best to find the whereabouts of the two in Chang'an City, and then picked up the testimonies of the people collected by Lu Jitong and looked at them carefully. (To be continued.) )
