I [Imperial] Am Not This Kind of Man
Chapter 44 Roaring Mountains
After leaving the palace, Qin Noo did not return to the house, so he simply took people directly to the hills.
The reason for this impatience is that the news of the arrest of the merchant ship has not yet been fully disseminated. Manchukuo, apart from a few well-informed people, does not know that there has been an accident with his idle prince. Once the news has spread, there must be a history of capture and impeachment.
By then, you will have become the focus of attention, and it will not be so convenient to act. So Qin Noh must quickly resolve to find evidence in his favor in the shortest possible time.
It was already late at night when he arrived in the hills, and it was rare that Linga and the members of the Criminal Division had not left.
This hill, which originally belonged to Qin Jian, is vast and overlooks the grasslands. The hillside architecture is at the foot of the mountain, the terrain is wide, the water by the mountain, the whole building is very vibrant, the pavilion of the pavilion is constant.
The first time Qin Noh saw it, he couldn't help but be surprised. Rather than being a mountain village, it would be more appropriate to call the Palace directly.
Above the front door are the four big words of "Roaring Mountain Village" dragon phoenix dance, must have come from the hand of a famous family, at a glance, wild slaughter.
Upon receiving news of the arrival of Qin Noh, several managers of the estate rushed out and their clothes were still chaotic.
Chino ignored these people and asked straight away: "Where are they, Lord Lin of the Penitentiary Department? ”
The chief executive held the horse for Qin Noh before, while respectfully answering: “Lord Lin first checked the main courtyard, then went to the mountains, and now they don't know where to search. ”
“Don't know where to search?” Chino frowned: “No one followed? ”
“Lord Lin said we were forbidden to follow him, but only took the old maids from the two fields to the back.” The steward bent his head down and whispered back.
Qin Noh snorted coldly. Qin Jian's counter-insurgency case was very wide-ranging. The original servant management in Roaring Mountain Village was cleaned up over and over again. These management personnel are now assigned by the Ministry of the Interior and have just begun work on mountain affairs. The fortress is so big, I'm afraid I haven't figured it out yet.
Regurgitated to the management, Qin Noh took people with him.
The roads in the hills are wide open, with smooth bluestone slabs. Qin Noh drove directly in with the guard Ma Chang. It went all the way through the backyard and stopped in front of the hill at the back of the hill.
Chino got off his horse, threw off the reins, and took someone inside along the mountain lane.
The mountain lane winds and the ground is extremely dangerous. Shortly after walking, it opens in front of you. It is an ancient castle-like building in the middle of the mountain range. The boulders are fortified and the momentum is very high.
Is this the battlefield Qin Jian on the mountain that Qin Hun mentioned earlier? In terms of specifications and momentum, the star array martial arts field of the former Kamikaze camp was killed directly.
How is this huge building built? Just transporting these boulders to the waist of the mountain is a big project. Touchdown, Qin Noh once again has a new understanding of the luxury life before Qin Jian.
The battlefield has been closed, because this was originally one of Qin Jian's practitioners, so the janitorial servants have been caught clean, and Qin Noh is not good at this way. The new administrator has not sent anyone to clean it up, and has been locked up for several months.
Pushing open the door, the dojo is huge and large, but unexpectedly there are not many rooms and seats around to entertain visitors.
Perhaps the private arena was built for the entertainment of a man.
Along the roundabout green stone ladder, Chino quickly reached the top of the pit.
Lin Jia was standing there, holding the wall-like barrier with one hand, looking far away.
Looking in his eyes, overlooking the mountains, the first to be reflected is the complex and sophisticated hills, the countless pavilions and pavilions continue to stretch, while further afield is the endless grasslands, the lonely moon, the breeze, the hills stand still, the scene in front of the scene is as beautiful as the painting, extraordinarily touching.
Qin Noh retracted his gaze and said, “Lord Lin is very diligent. In the middle of the night, we're busy tracking the clues. ”
Lin Jia awoke from contemplation, turned around and bowed to salute. “The king was kind enough to come in late at night, and the king was on his way to work hard. ”
Chino raised his hand, “No need to be polite, Lord Lin is busy for half a day. What can we get? ”
“Ha, it was something unexpected to see that this ancient castle was once the place where the armor of the treacherous King's private weapons had been hidden, and the inner Chinese weapons had been emptied. After being checked by the officers, there was also a dark vault underground, hidden in a secret location, which was ignored by previous searches. The weapons contained in the royal merchant ship, which are now hollow in the vault, most likely originate from this vault. ”
“Is there a vault under the castle? How can it be built with such complexity?” Chino was surprised that the castle was bigger than he thought.
Linga couldn't help but look at him. This prince's attention is strange.
But it still explains, “Lin Xiaocai, having read the geography of the mountain, should have been a small lake. Later, because of the dragon turned over, the water pulse of the lake was cut off. After being received by Lai Wang, he suddenly wondered, and built a different house on it. Unfortunately, he was convicted and killed before he was built. After that, it was idle for more than a decade before it reached the hands of the rebel king. Reverse Wang Guangneng summoned the craftsmen and remodeled them into today's pattern. ”
Did he want to rebel in the first place? The castle should have been built in the time of the Emperor Jingyao. Qin Jian had long anticipated that his future would be difficult.
“After all these years of rebellion, have you not found any traces of civil engineering in your ministry? ”
Lin Jia's words suffocated, "is negligent. ”
“It's not Lin Tanhua's turn to fail.” Qin Noh laughed. Lin Jia just took up his post in the Criminal Division last year. He was still wandering around Han Lin Yard.
“The wind of luxury prevails in the capital. The Prince's House of Power has many people to build luxury houses. Even if the rebel king is exceptional, as the king's beloved son, no one will talk much. ”
Qin Noi nodded, which was the rational explanation, and couldn't help but feel sad: "It's just bitter people all over the place. ”
After leaving the palace, he gradually realized that today's world is almost a place where the valves of power hold the dynasty and resources, sit in huge estate stores, and people live in hardship, but because the productivity is far stronger than the previous feudal dynasty, it is not yet hungry enough.
Lin Jia also felt a little bit and followed Qin Noh's gaze to the distant fields. “I have heard that this is a good field of 10,000 mu, it can live countless lives, only a shame...”
Rin winds blow from distant grasslands and you can almost hear the wolves howling. Since it became a large grassland, the ecology has been surprising. I heard that Qin Jian also has a lot of tiger leopard wolves and other items nearby for daily hunting and play.
He was in agony, but the people around him were devastated. Even Cheno's former Changshui estate had heard of the tragedy of tenants walking at night under the siege of a wolf.
“It is indeed too much to convert the land into grassland. The lone king has already informed the steward that the grassland will be excavated and restored to good land in the spring of next year. The tenant farmers who previously operated here will receive the seeds of the farm tools free of charge if they wish to return and will be exempted from three years' rent.” Chino said casually that these were the things he decided on the first day he took over the estate.
Lin Jia's eyes flashed a surprising bright color and bent down deeply: “The King is kind and a blessing to the people here.” It is a rare moral imperative to renovate land and even exempt it from three years' rent.
“Lord Lin needn't do this. The people of the world are mainly Qin clan, alone as a subordinate, and it is always the duty of the people under rule to live in peace and joy.” Qin Noh shrugged, as a person who grew up in a civilized society, with as much power and responsibility as possible, this idea has become deeply entrenched, enjoying only one pleasure and demanding, will only make the limited resources unbearable and eventually collapse.
“Weapons and armor were found in the hills and have been searched for by the army. Troops are well kept, compared to no theft. So, most of the Lonely King's shipments are in this vault. ”
“Don't worry, Your Majesty, there are many properties in the villa, and there are more than one place to hide weapons. Perhaps there are other places where the army searches for missed collections. ”
Chino laughed without saying a word, and this layout came towards him, then the weapon must have been hidden on his estate before. Several other estates have already been taken over to the royal family. Could it be that the emperor found weapons and hid them on his boat?
Linga was a little embarrassed by Chino's smile. “On the merits, the prince does not have to rush. This collection can be found only by asking the manager of the original estate. I was about to leave and go to the military prison to interrogate the people involved, etc. ”
“There is no hurry to interrogate the people involved in this village," Chino said slowly. "After the merchant ship was found with weapons, did you ever interrogate the boatman on board? ”
“Naturally, only because of previous collisions, the boatman's chores were mostly fatal and the survivors had no obvious clue. ”
“Has the adult ever questioned the foot workers at the surrounding docks? ”
“The docks of departure have been investigated. There are also boaters on the dock carrying cargo, and the Criminal Division has asked many people, and the cargo is definitely drinkable..." Linga replied.
Everything aboard has been checked through multiple procedures. I sent Li Wan to the gate for quality assurance, so I wanted to replace the full cargo before I set sail, it couldn't be completely free of traces.
“So the boat should have just been replaced in the course of the journey.” Qin Noh sinks, "the next step is to examine the boats that meet the king's boat. ”
Lin Jia noodles are difficult, “Your Highness, the river navigation is busy, thousands of merchant ships go in and out every day.” Chino's boat entered from the pier until the accident was sealed in the port. It has been walking for three days and three nights in the water for such a long time, passing on its shoulders, or crossing in parallel. At least there are hundreds of boats, and there is no shortage of noble houses to use. How do we find out?
“Ships sail in their own way, and replacing cargo is a time-consuming project that necessarily delays the speed of ships," Sinoe sank. You can shorten the scope of the inquiry by checking the villages and towns through which the Wang merchant ships passed and comparing their arrival times to know which river they were delayed on. At that time, inspections will be carried out on ships passing within the relevant limits, as well as on both sides of the river. We will find clues to the handover between the two sides. ”
Lin Jia suddenly burst into brilliance in his eyes, "The King is wise. ”
“Lord Lin has gone too far.” Qin Noh laughed: “The King's innocence bothers Lord Lin. ”
Lin Jia deeply looked at Qin Noh, no more words, and bent over to say goodbye.
Chino stood at the top of the fortress and watched a group of people rush away from the hill, like an arrow off the string, along the established track towards the capital.
Linga walked fast with the criminal department's men.
The moonlight was shielded by clouds flowing somewhere, dark between the heavens and the earth, and in the latter part of the night, the wind grew cold.
Is it really possible to find out the truth? Is it really Qin Ze?
Does he already know the secret of Hideyoshi's death?
This year-on-year feeling seemed to return to the night when Jingyao Emperor collapsed, and countless things came together, and he was forced to be caught in the fog, unable to see the way forward and the direction.
