Yang Qiyue trembled: "Your Excellency, your discernment is as sharp as a torch. In the official circles, almost no one knows about this matter. Even in Chaotian Sizhong, I'm afraid not many people are aware of it."

He sorted out his thoughts and said: "The capital's formation is indeed no trivial matter. In the first three thousand years of the dynasty, reinforcements and reinforcements were continuously made. Even now, the formations are constantly being innovated. It is also a difficult task to truly crack and penetrate the capital's formation.

Something impossible.

However, in the past thousand years, there has been peace for too long, and the imperial court has lost its vigilance, and has slacked off on repairing and maintaining the formation. Therefore, opportunities have emerged in some corners.

As far as I know, it was about 130 years ago that the first [rat hole] was opened in the capital formation. This is what we call it privately. The entrances and exits of the holes are very small, barely able to accommodate one person.

.

In recent years, the number of rat holes has increased, but I estimate that there will be no more than ten. We at Yuzhen Tower know about five of them, and the others are in the hands of some secret forces, so we cannot find out.

However, the scale of these rat holes is not large. This is the capital after all. Even if we try to expand it slightly, it will touch the entire formation and be discovered by the Imperial City Department."

"In addition, these rat holes can be used to escape one or two prisoners and transport some items privately. If you want to pass through on a large scale, it is absolutely impossible to secretly let the rebels in."

After a pause, Yang Qiyue added: "Sir, in fact, the biggest reason why the [rat hole] can be dug is not because of us, but because of some real dignitaries in the capital. Only they have the ability to influence the formation.

Maintenance work deliberately leaves certain locations just right for building rat holes.”

Sun Changming nodded and threw out a map: "Mark all the five rat holes you know."

After a while, Sun Changming and Ruan Sansheng left the Zhenzhen Building. Ruan Sansheng couldn't help but ask: "Sir, is there a rat hole hidden under the backyard?"

Sun Changming nodded, but there were still some things he didn't tell Ruan Sansheng. The rat hole in the backyard seemed to be naturally formed, and coincidentally, there was an underground river flowing through the rat hole. Master Sun had already used it before he came out.

The spirit seed controlled a small insect and entered it to find out where the underground river led.

Sun Changming handed the map marked with rat holes to Ruan Sansheng and ordered: "Go and check it out. After confirming the location, don't alert the snake, just send a clever brother to keep an eye on it secretly.

Yang Qiyue said that there are other rat holes, and you should check them out. In the capital, you are more familiar with the situation than I am.

Also, bring out the case files about the confiscation of this house, I want to take a look."

"Yes." Ruan Sansheng accepted the order. He first transferred the case file to Mr. Sun, and then hurriedly went to do two other errands.

The outside world is discussing the upcoming battle to choose the son-in-law of the Holy Daughter of the North Ice. However, Mr. Sun Changming, one of the parties involved, is carefully looking through the thick case files in his study.

But this case was ordinary. A former third-rank official of the imperial court was found guilty of serious corruption by Chaotiansi - it was Master Liu Zhi who single-handedly handled it.

This official once served as a county guard in the south of the Great Wu Dynasty, scraping the ground to accept filial piety. If that was all, he would be dismissed from his post and investigated. But this guy is greedy and cowardly. There is a man in his county.

In order to prevent these bandits from attacking the county under his rule, he secretly sent people to bribe the bandits!

In the end, he simply spent another sum of money to invite these bandits to leave their territory and go to Linjun to burn, kill and loot! The court was completely embarrassed by him. Even the emperor was furious when he found out about it.

Purpose: Implicate and confiscate the house!

But these are just evidences. It seems that there is no need for such a person to dig a rat hole in his own backyard. And according to Yang Qiyue, this prisoner is not able to influence the maintenance and repair of the capital formation. He can

The power to leave a rat hole in your own backyard.

Sun Changming took a closer look at the file and found the name of Chaotian Si Qianhu who was in charge of searching the house at that time: Hou Zhiqian.

He called the local school captain and asked about it. Hou Zhiqian was a confidant of Song Gongquan. Although the case was discovered by Liu Zhi back then, the capital was the territory of Zhongjing Zhenfu Division. Later, the case was specifically handled by Zhongzhi.

A person from the prison town Fusi.

Liu Zhi took office as the commander-in-chief, Duke Quan of the Song Dynasty retired, and all the Zhongyuan Town and Fusi were handed over to Liu Zhi. Hou Zhiqian and others were neither promoted nor demoted, and they have been depressed recently.

Lord Sun asked about Hou Zhiqian's residence and was about to visit him personally, but the captain took the initiative and said, "Sir, you want to see Hou Qianhu? I'll call him for you." Then he flew away without waiting for Lord Sun to refuse.

It seems to have gone.

The captain of the school wants to come. If Mr. Sun, who is in the prime of his life, wants to see a has-been Qianhu, why should he come to the door in person? In one sentence, Hou Qianhu should come over obediently. If Mr. Sun really comes to the door in person, he is afraid of scaring Hou Qianhu.

I became incontinent on the spot, thinking that some of the things I had done in the past had been exposed, and Master Sun had come to clean up the house...

In fact, just as the captain thought, Hou Zhiqian rushed over immediately after receiving the message. He was worried all the way. When he saw Mr. Sun, he found that Mr. Sun looked kind and kind, and his heart was half relieved.

"Don't be nervous." Master Sun comforted him and handed over the case file: "I came to you to ask about this case."

Hou Zhiqian took a look and saw that it was a case he had handled several years ago. He recalled carefully what Master Sun asked and said. Sun Changming frowned secretly. From Hou Zhiqian, he could only draw one conclusion: it was just an ordinary person.

It's a corruption case, but what this prisoner did was too shameful.

"That's all." Mr. Sun waved his hands regretfully: "Nothing happens. Please come back, Hou Qianhu."

Hou Zhiqian clasped his fists and resigned, but he was troubled in his heart: He didn't understand Mr. Sun's personality, and he really couldn't tell whether this was an opportunity or a disaster. His current situation was that he was in a sinecure, but as long as he didn't behave like a monster, he could

Naturally, you can live the rest of your life without worrying about food and clothing.

But how can a person who was so high-spirited in his early years be willing to be so ordinary?

His pace became slower and slower, and he was almost at the door. He finally gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble. He turned around and knelt down in front of Mr. Sun: "Sir, there is something that I should confess. Is it to kill or punish?"

It's all up to you, your Majesty, and your subordinates dare not hide it from you."

Sun Changming's eyes moved slightly: "Say!"

"This criminal... Li Baogang may have a descendant." Hou Zhiqian said quickly: "When the case was implicated in the confiscation of his home, my subordinates once found a clue. He seemed to have a woman living outside the capital, and he also

Had a baby.

But one clue seems to have been deliberately hidden by someone - Your Excellency is also from Chaotian Division, so you must understand that the people who can do this are all our Chaotian Division personnel who handle the case.

My subordinate wanted to investigate at that time, but..." He hesitated and said with cold sweat on his head: "That night, someone hung a storage bag on the back door of my subordinate's house, which contained 50,000 spiritual jades!

"

Sun Changming sneered: "So you were bribed and let this clue go?"

Hou Zhiqian kowtowed heavily: "This subordinate is guilty!"

Sun Changming stood up: "Take me to find the outer room first."

"As commanded."

Hou Zhiqian quickly got up and led Mr. Sun to a secluded alley in the capital. However, he was shocked to find that the building was already empty and the owner of the outer house had already changed.

"Check!" Mr. Sun ordered, but the result was even more incredible: the outer room of this house was written off from the household register!

According to the household registration system of the Great Wu Dynasty, a family would be canceled only if it died. The neighbors proved that the mother and son moved away rather than died. The neighbors remembered that the mother and son suddenly disappeared, and then

The new owner moved in. The new owner also bought the house from Yahang and has never met the original owner.

Only the neighbor across the door remembered that he got up to go to the toilet in the middle of the night and saw the mother and son being closely protected and getting into a carriage, and then they never appeared again.

After tracing the household register, it was found that the yamen clerk who was in charge at the time fell into the water and died four years ago, but his family was still living a prosperous life.

Every clue has been cut off, and the mother and son seem to have disappeared from the world.

Mr. Sun sneered in his heart: Sure enough, there is a big problem! Prisoners like Li Baogang had their homes confiscated and their families exterminated, and there are still people who spend so much effort to protect his descendants. There must be a deal between the people behind the scenes and Li Baogang. Li Baogang insisted on keeping the secret.

The people behind the scenes left a trace of blood for him.

Sun Changming called Ma Qizhi over and pointed at Hou Zhiqian: "You two work together to find the people from the Zhongjing Zhenfu Division who handled the case. I want a result!"

Sun Changming looked at Hou Zhiqian again and said: "If you do it well, you can atone for your sins. From now on, you will follow Ma Qizhi. If you don't do it well, you will be punished for all crimes. Do you understand me?"

"Clear!" Hou Zhiqian replied loudly: "Thank you sir for the opportunity."

Master Sun waved his hand, and the two of them immediately went out to do things. Master Sun felt that there was a lot of mystery behind this matter, and he was afraid that it would involve a big conspiracy. He turned his attention to the spiritual seed insect exploring the underground in the backyard, and the insect had already gone underground.

Underground river, Mr. Sun felt that the water in the underground river was cold, and this coldness was not just temperature, it was mixed with a trace of evil!

The insect swam against the current in the dark river at a very slow speed. It took a long time to discover that an eyeless monster fish was also a monster. The insect pounced upward, and the spiritual seed in his body separated out and penetrated into the body of the strange fish.

"The national destiny of the Wu Dynasty is unstable, otherwise there will be underground rivers, and the evil spirits that can be suppressed by the entire capital cannot get close."

The corpse of the insect slowly sank to the bottom of the water, and the strange fish flicked its tail and swam upstream at a speed ten times faster. This underground river turned out to be extremely long, and the strange fish swam for dozens of miles when it suddenly appeared in front of it.

There is a fork in the road where two streams of water converge, and there is evil energy floating in each stream - Mr. Sun didn't know which one to choose for a while.

Mr. Sun unfolded a map of the capital, and then unfolded a large map of the surrounding areas of the capital. He compared the location of his house with the approximate location of the strange fish, and then touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

…

Taiye Lake.

Since the emperor went on tour, the place has become even more deserted. Only one princess came to stay for a few days and had a party with friends.

The Royal Guards stationed here still patrol the city on a daily basis, but they are more lax than before.

That night, there was a puppet made of straw. It was only the size of a palm, but it was flexible and quick. It passed through the layers of defenses and came to the Taiye Lake. It quietly entered the water and went down.

All the way to the underwater cave, where the "real dragon" was originally cultivated with giant eggs - but it was empty. The puppet looked stunned, and then became furious, looking back and forth in the cave, clenching its fists!

After a while, the doll burned strangely in the water, and soon turned into ashes and sank to the bottom of the water.

The puppet avoided the imperial guard's checkpoint, but did not realize that when it sneaked into the underwater cave, there was a low-level monster raised next to it, lying on the bottom of the water, lazily opening its eyes.

Mr. Sun in the courtyard suddenly felt something in his heart and was thoughtful.

…

In a dark room in the inn of the Beiyuan Mission, the old woman Wu Zhu suddenly opened her eyes. Youbi was like an evil ghost, filled with shock and anger.

"The dragon species is missing?!"

"How could decades of planning go so wrong in the most critical part?"

The old woman Wu Zhu immediately took out a horn and contacted the chief: "Chief, something bad happened." She reported the dragon species. The chief roared angrily and seemed to break some things. The old woman Wu Zhu did not dare to
