Chapter 282 Who’s up to no good?
June and July are rainy in the capital, the emperor and Marquis Qing Yun just entered the underground palace, the sky is gloomy. Rumbling thunder exploded in mid-air from time to time.
On the northeastern corner of the hall used by the underground palace to park the late emperor’s casket, the collapsed position had not been cleaned up completely, and the broken stone beams had already been covered with thick ropes, and were waiting to be transferred out with a winch chain.
“Originally there were two more years of work to be completed, who expected something like this ……臣等死罪!”
Responsible for the construction of the imperial mausoleum of several officials kneeling on the ground shivering, in the Ministry of Public Works Lang Sun Yan back after these words, the ground has been black pressure kneeling a large area.
When this kind of thing happens, of course it is customary to send down a group of people first.
The emperor held the sword in the center of the underground palace, facing the pile of residual soil: “Where are the people below?”
“Already all moved out, being placed in the grass shed outside.”
The emperor turned around, sharp eyebrows rushed to the underground Sun Yan: “Before things happened, what strange symptoms can be found near the imperial tomb?”
Sun Yan swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva tightly, “The collapse was four days ago in the night. But not too late, because there are still dozens of craftsmen within the finishing utensils. It was also such a weather, the thunder rumbled and rained, first someone above the ground shouted that the rainwater went down the ditch into the palace, then I immediately sent people to repair it, but right at this time, a thunder struck down, then the stone beams broke, and all the bricks and soil on the upper floors collapsed.”
“That is to say, the time of the incident was muddled in all directions, and whether there were any other sounds could not be determined?”
Sun Yan lowered his head in shame.
“Your Majesty!”
Marquis Qingyun brought his guards in from outside, it had already begun to rain outside, sparse but large drops of rain hitting the top layer of the steps as far as the eye could see.
The emperor stepped out, braving the rain from the center tunnel out of the mausoleum, to the east of a row of stone houses, this is for officials and even the emperor prince came to inspect the resting place. Now the place had been furnished with beds, tables, chairs, and all other utensils.
“Your Majesty,” Qing Yun Hou brushed off the rain droplets on top of his head, the door patted the sleeve before walking in: “I have brought people in the Imperial Tomb detailed check, it is difficult to find traces. From the inside of the palace, so thick a stone beam to break, is not an easy thing. And I went to check the texture of the stone beam, and the Ministry of the Ministry of record stone check, indeed, then was from the time of the material moved, it is unlikely.”
“Then your judgment is, is indeed a natural disaster?”
“I do not dare to assert that the construction of the mausoleum accidents, although not rare, but generally speaking is the masonry was crushed, like the stone beams broken – this is in the folk can cause great ripples, every dynasty and every generation of this kind of main material are careful and cautious, this matter occurred in the day of thunderstorms, it is really worth to look deeper. ”
The emperor looked through the window at the eaves has become a line of rain, negative hand: “Do you still remember a few months ago, He Sheng and others with the honor room conspired in the medicinal herbs on the second best thing?”
Marquis Qing Yun slightly pause, deep jaw: “He Sheng they are too bold, death is not enough.”
“They started two or three years ago, they were counting Shi En.”
Marquis Qingyun was silent. A moment later his hand on the hilt of his sword tightened, “The late emperor suddenly collapsed and died, there are indeed many loose ends in the dynasty. In the last three years, there were quite a few people who tried to provoke.”
“What if we put the time further back?”
Faced with the emperor asking such a question, Marquis Qingyun paused.
The emperor, however, did not go on, turned around and picked up the sword resting on the table to say: “Right now it is also heavy rain, let Hu Yan lead the way, to see the location of that day’s water leakage.”
“It’s raining, or not minister to go to the ……”
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
……
Zhao Su followed He Zong to the porcelain factory round, out of the outside on the bright, after the heavy rain of the streetscape looks a little depressed, previously lined up food stalls this moment are shrinking into the store.
“Mr. He, I invite you to dinner?”
Zhao Su didn’t forget what she promised.
He Zong bowed down and got on the carriage, saying: “Come on, everywhere is wet, I’m too lazy to accompany you.”
Zhao Su grinned, tiptoe toward the car shook his hand: “Then see you tomorrow! Tomorrow I’ll go to the government office to visit Mr. He again!”
The carriage quickly turned around and flew away.
Zhao Su looked at the hand did not send out the tea, hey laughed a little, after weighing the car also boarded the car back to the house.
Although not with HeZhong serious inquired about the factory, but the porcelain factory this turn, she saw the general pattern of assembly line operation from top to bottom. May be the influence brought by the Empress Dowager Lu, these days, the few factories, also line of hierarchical management system, porcelain factory inside and outside of four or five hundred people, counting not a small scale, back to the value of learning from the experience.
After getting off the car, I saw flowers wanting to see Rong sitting on the corner of the gate pier looking up at the top of the sparrow, just greeted, flowers wanting to see Rong will be like an arrow shot to the front: “girl! This trip has lived up to its promise, and really let me find out about the two Tang Cheng families!”
Zhao Su also got out of the car: “How is it?”
“Let’s talk inside!”
Flowers want to Rong Zhao Su pulled to the Qiyuyuan, not waiting to rush to say: “Cheng family miss seems to be really defiled!”
“……The Tang family did it?”
“No!” Zhao Su shook her head, “It was someone else.”
“Who?”
“I don’t know.”
“……”
Zhao Su heard a lonely? “Then how do you know it wasn’t someone from the Tang family?”
“It’s very simple ah, Cheng family this young lady originally with the Tang family has a marriage contract, if it is the Tang family children do, no matter which, private a together, marrying over is not also still decent? But they broke up, and the Cheng family didn’t look for the Tang family to fight for their lives, so it definitely wasn’t the Tang family that did it.”
Zhao Su felt that she reasoned correctly. Then she said, “Then why did the Cheng family turn against the Tang family?”
“That’s where the problem lies, although the Tang family doesn’t have to be the culprits, they are suspected of being accomplices. Ms. Cheng was killed shortly after the birthday festival, it is said that day she also went to the banquet to come, but she has a marriage contract, all do not have to have not been down to offer.
“But surely there are still many children saw her.
“That day should be the Cheng family Miss and the Tang family’s young lady in a small gathering together, in the process of gathering drink Miss Cheng was assassinated. The Cheng family suspected that someone among the Tang family’s young ladies did so on purpose, and the Tang family refused to admit it. At first, we could sit down and discuss the matter, but later the more we talked, the more angry we became, and we couldn’t come to terms.”
“Then when it happened, who approached them, no one knows?”
“About is the boat, also have the Tang family and other families of children in another boat, their boat in the incident did not a person away, the hand should be other boat people.”
Zhao Su froze for a while, “Then Miss Cheng was drugged?”
In a place with so many people, it could only have been drugged to stop the shouting.
“Isn’t that so. The Cheng family then decided that it was the Tang family that messed up.”
