"Wang Gongchang was originally located in the southwest corner of the capital. It was the place where the royal firearms were made exclusively, and it provided gunpowder for Shenjiying."

"Your Majesty may be afraid that it will endanger the safety of the palace once it explodes, so he ordered Xue Lian, the Marquis of Yangwu, to move to the deserted suburbs of Beijing."

"With such a precaution, it was foolproof. Who would have thought that today, a large amount of stone paint water was found in Wanggong's factory."

Li Yang was just talking, but suddenly turned his head and looked at Xue Fengxiang, and asked with a smile: "Xuebutang, do you know what the name has come?"

Xue Fengxiang didn't listen carefully at all. He was stunned when he heard this and didn't say anything.

Li Yangzheng shook his head, "Sun Mingji, the factory supervisor of Wang Gong Factory, is a relative of the current factory manager Wei Zhongxian. Below him, there are more than 30 officials including the assistants and the factory."

"These officials are the chief craftsmen of each factory, craftsmen, and a large number of craftsmen. This year, the imperial court has increased its production of firearms and hired many helpers..."

"There are many people with unknown backgrounds among these helpers."

Xue Fengxiang was happy, "Li Shangshu's words meant, can we go to the person in charge of hiring helpers for Wang Gongchang?"

Li Yangzheng nodded and said:

"This is just one of them. In addition, we also need to find out who was responsible for filling these fire-fighting buckets when the relocation."

"We have to ask Yangwu Hou Xue Lian for this matter."

As night comes, everything is silent.

The palace built in Nanhaizi seems particularly peaceful. In the palace, there is a lonely lamp left, and Zhu Youxiao reviews memorials one by one.

In a moment, a slight sound of footsteps came outside the hall.

However, Wang Chaofu, the manager of the Qianqing Palace, tiptoed in, "Master, the Ministry of Justice has a report on the disaster of King Gongchang in Baitian."

Zhu Youxiao was thinking about this matter. When he heard this, he suddenly felt enlightened and signaled the eunuch to give the stool to the dynasty, asking:

"Have you found out the reason?"

Wang Chaofu had just sat down and stood up again, took out the gunpowder report recorded by the Ministry of Works to Wang Gong Factory, put it on the imperial case, and said:

"The Ministry of Justice means that this matter is done by someone, so please check it out."

Zhu Youxiao flipped through the report and frowned, "From the report on the report, a large number of gunpowder was transferred to Liaodong eight days ago to support the Korean battlefield?"

"Yes, the Ministry of Works repeatedly calculated and found that the amount of gunpowder stored in the Wanggong Factory warehouse before the disaster could not have such serious consequences."

"Well, this matter is not required to be reported by the Ministry of Justice, I can guess it." Zhu Youxiao threw down several books he was reading and said:

"These are memorials from all over the country that have just been sent to the palace in Jifu, and people have set fires in other places. The gunpowder depot of the Military Equipment Division in Tongzhou was ignited together, burning down more than 3,000 houses."

"I see, the disaster at Wang Gongchang is limited to the capital. Other places where the so-called warns of heaven are deliberately done by someone to disturb my Ming Dynasty."

"The heart is punishable! Ask the Ministry of Justice to continue investigating and investigate with great fanfare..."

When the Ministry of Justice investigates the case, it is naturally necessary to make a big fuss and attract the attention of the people of the world. The reason why Zhu Youxiao acted so high-profile was that he used the Ministry of Justice to cover the factory guards.

As for the better, it is the trump card in the hands of Zhu Youxiao.

As he said that, he opened the book of Li Yang, the Minister of Justice, and after reading it, he smiled and said, "It seems that this matter is certain!"

Li Yangzheng's book is a report on his discovery at Wang Gongchang today.

The Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Works communicated on this matter. The Ministry of Works was responsible for the construction of Wanggong Factory. The officials in charge said that the main use of brick and stone structures, with only a few plants and trees, and the factory and warehouse were almost completely closed.

The design was originally designed to prevent the fire from spreading too much, so even if the fire broke out, it would only last for a period of time and would never burn all day long.

This design is almost impossible for today's situation where even the fire-fighting officers and soldiers are backfired by the fire.

If this news is released through the Beijing News, the disaster can basically be characterized as human.

Now the Ministry of Justice is only one thing away from closing the case, and find a qualified substitute.

Soon, the guard carried a bucket of stone painted water found in Wanggong Factory into the palace. Zhu Youxiao came over and frowned and said:

"Stone paint water?"

Zhu Youxiao could tell at a glance that this wasn’t oil!

"Is this thing found from the fire scene?" Zhu Youxiao asked and immediately said: "Where is the Ministry of Justice? Didn't you check how it came?"

Wang Chaofu said: "Li Butang and Xue Butang are searching overnight. Mr. Yangwu, who was responsible for leading the relocation of helpers at that time."

......

Yangwu Hou Mansion.

"What did you say?" Xue Lian had a capital question mark printed on his forehead. When he heard what the person in front of him said, he quickly shook his head:

"What is stone paint water? I haven't even seen it!"

Of course, since he was here to ask questions, Li Yangzheng had already prepared the physical evidence. He waved his hand and soon, a bucket of water stained with stone paint was carried up by the servants.

Xue Lian walked closer and looked, and was suddenly stimulated by the pungent temperature to stay away a few steps away. He said without hesitation: "No, when I just finished transporting the water, I didn't see these things floating in the water tank."

"What's more, the smell of stone paint water is so pungent, how could I not smell it?"

Li Yangzheng nodded and instructed: "This case is not a trivial matter. In recent days, it has been the top priority. The Marquis may not be able to return to the gentle place tonight."

As he said that, everyone turned their heads and looked at the untidy woman behind him.

Xue Lian was just a little bit, knowing which end is light and which end is heavy, and immediately said, "This is easy to deal with, take my armor! I will help you investigate the case!"

Walking on the way to Wang Gongchang and passing by the prison of the Ministry of Justice, Xue Lian looked at the empty street and said with a smile:

"To be honest, I'm so scared when I heard about the Wanggong Factory disaster today. I just moved the Wanggong Factory over there. In less than a month, such a sudden change occurred."

"If your Majesty blames me, I will be implicated!"

"Well, if this matter is involved, not only the three of us, but also a large number of officials will be dismissed. Your Majesty ordered us to investigate the case, but he did not want to involve much."

Xue Lian smiled and said, "Your Majesty is more careful."

As the few people were talking, a sound of footsteps suddenly came from ahead, but Xue Fengxiang, the Minister of Works, who was going to ask questions, came back.

"How is it, what did he say?"

Xue Fengxiang looked at Li Yangzheng, waved his hand and sighed:

"Don't mention it! The person responsible for hiring a helper for Wang Gong Factory is also in the factory during the day. He is not seriously injured, but don't think about what he can ask."

Xue Lian immediately said, "What do you say?"

"Half Yangwu is also coming out?" Xue Fengxiang realized that there were more people and hurriedly bowed and greeted her.

But as for this matter, Xue Lian had no time to greet him and said:

"There is no way. After all, I was responsible for moving the Wang Gong Factory. Now that such a big thing has happened, how can I be alone?"

"Everyone is each other..." Xue Fengxiang sighed and continued:

"Although the person who hired helpers for Wang Gongchang was rescued, I went to the Ministry of Revenue to ask, but there was no record of this person."

"What's more, after this, the guy has become crazy and can't ask anything."
