Chapter 182: Who is the enemy?

Ying Chang's death seemed far from as calm as the surface for the First Emperor. There is no love for no reason, nor hatred for no reason in this world. Ying Chang's journey to this day seems to be related to being born in the royal family. Among the thirty-three children of the First Emperor, Ying Chang belongs to the kind of person who cannot succeed in high or low. He said that he could not compare with Fusu in Wen, and in martial arts, he could not compare with Ying Yue. Even among the children who cannot succeed in martial arts, there was also Hu Hai who steadily suppressed him.

The court of Daqin has been surging in recent days, and there are too many officials involved in the case of Yingchang. Xuan Jingsi is either arresting people or on the way to arrest people every day. Now, Xuan Jingsi's four-person single room has become an eight-person single room.

"Zhao Que, Governor Zhao, please let me release these people first." Meng Yi, Secretary of Personnel in the Xuanjing Department, handed a list to Zhao Que and said.

Zhao Que has invited one-third of the people in the court to the Xuanjingsi these days. Nowadays, Daqin has even had problems with its daily operations. Now, Meng Yi and the Ministry of Personnel work overtime and finally screened out some officials who were not involved in the case. These officials just beat the edge drum and did not actually participate in the case. Daqin also needs these officials to do things, and the Ministry of Personnel’s punishment for these people is only a fine for some salary.

"Mr. Marquis, say goodbye." Meng Yi brought out the people on the list from Zhao Que, bowed to Li Chen and said.

Although these people were released, they may be discouraged from today. The Yunjingsi has truly become a sharp sword hanging over the heads of the officials of the Qin Dynasty. When these officials want to be favoritism and abuse their power, the first thing they think of is whether their heads can withstand this sharp sword.

"Mr. Marquis, is it a bit difficult?" Zhao Que said with a frown after Meng Yi left.

Li Chen knew that Zhao Que was talking about the new seal left by Ying Chang after his death. "The copper mine was lost" was a great thing. Logically speaking, if Ying Chang found out, then the copper mine should be found. As the saying goes, people are about to die, and their words are good. Since Ying Chang said that the copper mine was lost before his death, it should not be fake.

So far, Ying Chang has died, the Wang family has been arrested, and the Qin Dynasty has also investigated, but these copper ores have evaporated from the world, and there is no trace of them.

"Continue to check, I always feel that these copper mines are wandering outside, and something big will happen sooner or later." Thinking of these copper mines, a hint of anxiety surged in Li Chen's heart.

This is a bronze mine in a whole mine. According to the estimates of the Ministry of Works, if weapons are built, helmets and armor can be built, it can arm 50,000 elite soldiers. In the era when Daqin was in banned armor and could not stop swords, 50,000 swords and swords might not be a big deal, but 50,000 sets of armor can already cause a lot of trouble for Daqin.

"Marty, I always feel that it seems a bit illogical to win and rebel. Think about it, he only has a guard with less than 100 people. Even with these weapons and armors that can arm 50,000 people, what can I do? Moreover, Li Ji is just favored for her youthful appearance and beauty. Her mother's power is not very powerful, and she has no ability to gather and train soldiers at all." Zhao Que said.

"So, there must be something we omitted." Li Chen said.

Li Chen knew what these copper mines mean to the Qin Dynasty. If the people of the Qin Dynasty live and work in peace now, even if these copper mines are cast into weapons, they can only cause some chaos to the Qin Dynasty. But if one day the Qin Dynasty is in chaos, these weapons will become fatal existences. Think about Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, who cut wood into weapons and broke grass into swords in his previous life, and Liu Bang, who rebelled with a hoe and a sickle, what a disaster would it be if these bronzes were cast into weapons and armor falling into their hands.

This case is like a nesting doll. If you open one layer, you will find that there is another layer below. You can never guess how many layers there are. If you want to know, you can only open all the nesting dolls layer by layer.

"Marty, Governor, I'm dead, two died." Just as the two were chatting, the people from Xuan Jingsi hurriedly ran away and said in a angrily manner.

"What's dead, who's dead?" Li Chen asked hurriedly.

"The head of the Wang family and the Langzhong Jiang from the Ministry of Justice." The people from Xuan Jingshi reported.

Zhao Que and Li Chen hurried to the prison of Xuan Jingsi. If the two were killed in the prison of Xuan Jingsi, then the matter would be very serious. If someone really could kill someone in the yamen of Xuan Jingsi, what does this mean? This means that Xuan Jingsi is also a broken gong that leaks everywhere.

"Marty, everyone on duty today is here. The scene has been blocked, no one comes in or goes out." Someone said as soon as he stopped.

"But when someone is released to visit the prison, who is the first to discover it?" Zhao Que asked viciously. These two people have been in prison for several days. On weekdays, the food in the prison is distributed uniformly. If it is poisoned, it is not the two of them. The only explanation is that someone poisons them when they visit the prison.

"I dare to let someone visit the prison there. This is not the Ministry of Justice. I found it when I was cleaning up the feces in the morning. The two of them were exhausted early in the morning." The prison head quickly explained.

No one came to visit the prison, but the two of them were so angry for no reason. Could it be that some gods, demons and ghosts were not allowed?

Zhao Que's eyes were leaking and he glanced at everyone present. Since no outsiders came in, the only possibility was that there was a "ghost."

The prison of Xuanjingsi is different from the Ministry of Justice. The prisons here are all important criminals in major cases, and they are not even corrupt officials. The prison of the Ministry of Justice has some connections, and even some money is used to bribe the prisoners on duty to visit the prison. The prison of Xuanjingsi is different. If there is no order from His Majesty here, it will not be easy for anyone to come.

"Mr. Marquis, why not take a look at the autopsy?"

"The dead will not lie." At this time, the coroner Qin Ming had already dared to come. When he heard Zhao Que's questioning, he felt that instead of asking these living people, it was better to ask these two dead people. As many people met, he often would rather believe in the corpse.

"Okay, autopsy." Li Chen said.

The location of the autopsy was in the prison of Xuan Jingsi. No one could leave until the matter was found out.

The bodies were casually placed on the straw mat, and the two of them looked pale and they probably died at night.

"So." The sound of the long knife cutting open the abdominal cavity. The coroner Qin Ming cut Jiang Wei's abdominal cavity, and then Qin Ming pulled his hand towards the abdomen of the corpse.

"Return your hands to find your stomach, find your stomach. You can't see it, you can't see it."

"Damn it, what about the stomach."

That's right, Qin Ming's goal is the stomach. No matter what poison it is, it must be digested by the stomach, and there will inevitably be poison residues in the stomach sac.

"You call this thing a stomach." Li Chen looked at Qin Ming's hand that shrank into a black ball. I read a lot, don't want to lie to me. Although I have never seen it before, there are many pictures of the stomach that can be seen. This thing doesn't look like the stomach, and the color and shape are not right.

"Tick, tick." This black thing was ticking with liquid like black glutinous rice juice.

"Mr. Marquis, it is a chronic poison that acts directly on the stomach. Every time you eat a meal, your stomach will shrink. When the stomach becomes like this, you will die."

"It should have been poisoned before coming in. On the days when they came in prison, they probably would have to eat one less meal." Qin Ming frowned and said.

These two people obviously know more hidden information, but now with the death of the two, all the clues have been cut off. Who is the mastermind behind the scenes? This feeling of being restrained everywhere is really uncomfortable.
