Li Chi took Gao Xining and his children back to the Chang'an City Palace, but the case in the Imperial Garden is still under investigation.

Zhang Tang and the people from Tingwei's Mansion had carefully investigated the people in the Imperial Garden at least twice.

There was no new gain, and Zhang Tang also judged from it that these people and the mysterious assassin were not fellow members.

It can only be said that the assassin took advantage of the loophole here and pretended to be a chef in the imperial garden.

With Zhang Tang's ability to investigate the case, he felt that these people were fine, so he was almost certain that these people were innocent.

But Zhang Tang always felt that there was still a problem here. The problem was that the assassin poisoned but did not want to poison the queen and prince. Why?

Just as Zhang Tang was thinking about these things, Lian Xiwu rushed over from Chang'an City.

He took the initiative to ask for an order, because the imperial garden was also created by him. If something happened here, he dared not give up at all.

But he is really innocent. He is nominally responsible for the construction of the Imperial Garden. However, after the construction of Chang'an City was completed, he was ordered to do something else. During this period, he led his army to support the northern border and did not stay here at all.

The officials under his command are watching here every day, but he has been here during the inspection.

After Lian Xiwu met Zhang Tang, he asked the case carefully, and then he decided to take a closer look at the imperial garden himself.

The official who was in charge of supervising the construction of this imperial garden was named Yan Meisheng. He was an honest and cautious person and meticulous person.

So something happened to Yuyuan, and his personality was very scared. After asking His Majesty for advice, he also came with all the drawings from Yuyuan.

"The Imperial Guard and the people from the Tingwei Mansion searched within a radius of dozens of miles and found nothing."

Zhang Tang looked at Lian Xiwu and said, "Sir, I have no choice but to ask Your Majesty to come over with the drawings he built and carefully check whether there is any hidden place left in the imperial garden for the thief to hide. I always feel that the thief has not escaped."

Yan Meisheng raised his hand to wipe his sweat, so nervous that he was a little uncomfortable when he spoke.

"I have brought all the drawings. Lord Zhang can ask the people from Tingwei Mansion to look at them with me, but this drawing is a secret of the country. After all, it involves the safety of His Majesty..."

Zhang Tang nodded: "I understand. I will leave it to Fang Xiudao Fang Qianban to do it with you, so as not to let more people contact you."

"Thank you, thank you."

Yan Meisheng thanked him repeatedly, and the sweat on his forehead was spreading layer after layer.

If Zhang Tang had not investigated Yan Meisheng long ago and knew that he had such a personality, he would probably have suspected that Yan Meisheng had a guilty reaction at this time.

There are too many drawings and cumbersome. Fang Xidao, Yan Meisheng and others checked for a long time but still couldn't find a clue. In the end, Fang Xidao thought of a way.

I only checked whether the craftsmen who built the imperial gardens had built any places to temporarily avoid natural disasters and man-made disasters, and I forgot to fill them.

When he talked about this, Yan Meisheng suddenly remembered something else.

"Sir Qianban, I remember something."

Yan Meisheng said: "The construction of such a project is extremely strict, and the land survey is not only within the scope of this imperial garden."

"In order to ensure that the buildings in the Imperial Garden will not have hidden dangers due to the terrain and geology, the radius of dozens of miles must be dug deep and sampled."

He looked at Fang Xidao and said, "Within dozens of miles, there are many cellars dug out at that time to test whether the vibration will collapse."

Fang Xidao immediately asked: "Does these places have marked on the drawings? Have they been filled in later?"

Yan Meisheng said: "This... probably didn't fill it all, because I felt that there was no need for it at that time, and I rushed to other places to do things, so..."

He said this and quickly added: "But there are marked positions, I check it, I'll check it now."

Not long after, he found the drawings for the original survey of the geological terrain. Fang Huadao counted and found dozens of places where the test was excavated.

Originally, he didn't have much contact with this matter. After looking at the drawings for so long and looking at the places where he was excavated, he realized how big the project it would take for a royal garden for the Royal Family and how much manpower and material resources it would take.

Fang Xidao immediately went to ask Zhang Tang for instructions. After Zhang Tang finished listening, he ordered three thousand officers to take the black cavalry to investigate.

At the same time, someone was sent to report to the Imperial Army General Xiahou Zhuo, because the case involved the Imperial Army, Xiahou Zhuo must also be aware of it.

Xiahou Zhuo did not return to Chang'an City, and the case was not solved, and he felt very upset.

After listening to Zhang Tang's words, he decided to take five hundred imperial cavalry to check these places in person.

According to the map, Xiahou Zhuo and his cavalry found a place to excavate in a cellar, but nothing was found.

According to Yan Meisheng, these cellars were excavated to measure earthquakes. Secret passages would inevitably be built in the imperial garden, and underground hiding places would not be used. Ninety-ninety percent of these places were not available, but they must be included.

Once something happens, these places are places where people in the royal family use to hide and shelter.

Therefore, the requirements are extremely strict when measuring the earthquake. According to the standards of the underground hiding place in the Imperial Garden, dig the cellar and use wooden pillars and stone walls to support it. After it is done, use heavy cars and galloping horses to pass by the cellar back and forth.

They even use wooden nooses to hang up the boulders, and then suddenly fall down to cause vibrations to see if the structure of the cellar is safe.

But after using these places, no one paid attention to them, and it was indeed their negligence.

The key was that they were too busy at that time. After the Imperial Garden was built, the group of people urgently transferred back to Chang'an to build some buildings in the city, such as the completion of Yanta Academy, which was also supervised by Yan Meisheng and others.

Because of these, Yan Meisheng was later promoted to Minister of Works.

At this time, Xiahou had a look at this place, it was supposed to be able to see a hole at a glance.

But it looks clear here, not to mention the pits, there are no cracks on the ground.

But because of this, Xiahou Zhuo was a little suspicious.

"Send someone back and find some sledges, and just within this range, I will give it to me over and over again."

After Xiahou Zhuo gave the order, he dismounted and found a place to sit down. While he was waiting for his subordinates to transport the sledge, he ordered other imperial soldiers to dismount and search in rows of neatly.

As a result, before the sledge was transported back, they really found something wrong.

A row of soldiers walked forward with arms around them. One of the soldiers suddenly felt that the sound was wrong under his feet and was a little empty.

He immediately shouted, and all the imperial guards around him surrounded him, and many people held their weapons in their hands.

When Xiahou Zhuo saw something was wrong, he quickly walked over. He took a long spear and used the spear tip to hit the empty place.

This voice made him know that he had found the right place. He turned around and ordered: "Go and find Ganchai!"

He pressed the flip with the long spear and waited for the soldiers to collect dry firewood. Soon, the flip below moved. It was obvious that the people inside could not sit still and were eager to rush out. However, Xiahou Zhuo's arm strength was so amazing that he pressed the flip alone, and the people below could not even think about it.

After his subordinates collected a lot of dry firewood, Xiahou Zhuo shouted to the bottom of the flip board: "If you come out honestly, I will guarantee you to live for the time being. If you don't want to be honest, then ignite the fire first. None of you can come out alive. You probably don't want to try it if you are fumigated to death."

Shortly after this, a dull shout came from the bottom of the flip board.

"We are willing to surrender, it's not our business, don't set fire!"

"Please let us go out. We dare not resist. Let us go out."

Xiahou Zhuo signaled his men to retreat and asked the archer to prepare. A circle of feather arrows aimed at the flip side.

He took two steps back and used the spear to lift the tilt open.

Before long, someone crawled out of the cellar. Looking at the dusty appearance, you can also think that they were not living in this cellar.

These people came out one by one, and they all had a smell of smell on their bodies. If you think about it, you can understand that they are hiding here, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating in this confined space, so it would be strange if they don’t smell bad.

These bandits who came back to Shuzhou could do anything except to think they were unlucky. They did nothing and were taken in this cellar.

At the same time, on the streets of Chang'an City, Xu Ji's carriage rushed towards the direction of Weiyang Palace.

Xu Ji was so panicked that he couldn't stand it at this time. He sat there, feeling like a needle was hidden under his butt.

He subconsciously moved a few times, reached out to sweep his seat, and suddenly his face changed slightly.

There was a cotton pad on the seat of the carriage. When he swept it with his hands just now, he felt something under the cotton pad.

Touched it down and pulled out an envelope.

When Xu Ji saw the envelope, his head buzzed. For some reason, he suddenly became extremely scared.

He also took the car when he was in court before, but he still did the same car when he came home, but he didn't notice anything unusual under the cushion.

There were no words on the envelope, it was clean, but Xu Ji felt that he had seen blood on the envelope.

His hands were trembling and pulled out the paper from the envelope, and Xu Ji even subconsciously closed his eyes.

There are three pages of paper inside, and it seems that the letter is quite large.

[Master Prime Minister, did you feel scared when you found this letter?]

At the beginning of this letter, Xu Ji felt the mockery of Monk Zangjie and the deep and heavy mockery of him.

[If nothing unexpected happens, the green forest bandits you brought back from Shuzhou have probably been found.]

[I asked them to hide in the cellar. As long as the people from the Tingwei Mansion are not that stupid, it is not difficult to find them.]

[Once these people are arrested by people from the Tingwei Mansion, the adults should understand that your serious crime of rebellion is basically confirmed, right?]

[If the adults don’t want to be executed by His Majesty directly today or be imprisoned and investigated, it’s best to find a way now to prevent the Tingwei Mansion from bringing these people back to Chang'an City.]

[But now I have no skills in my family, so I have to take a fake one to see Your Majesty. What should I do, sir? I'm worried about you.]

[However, I know that the adults have other strengths that have not been revealed. During the years when he was the governor of Jizhou, he should have raised many dead soldiers. It is time to use these people.]

[If I were an adult, I should send someone to find a solution after reading this, instead of wasting time to finish reading the following words, but I thought, you are so suspicious, even if I tell you that the following words are useless, you will still finish reading them.]

After writing these ridiculous words, the next two pages were written on the inference of why Xu Ji wanted to rebel.

How could Xu Ji keep such a letter? After reading it, his hands trembled and tore the letter to pieces.

But he was not relieved, so he put the shredded paper into his mouth and chewed it down.

"parking!"

Xu Ji shouted outside.
Chapter completed!
