When Wen Qingzhu rushed to the reform office in the north of the city, Yang Liu and his people were already here.
What surprised her was that Wang Chi was also here. He asked several tied up victims beside him.
After walking over, Wen Qingzhu saw the situation clearly.
In the middle of the row house under construction, the bodies of a dozen workers were hanging on the newly built beams.
Everyone's expression was very frightened, as if they had encountered something terrible.
Wen Qingzhu frowned and asked, "What's going on? Where is Yu Fan?"
"He was seriously injured. I heard that Miss Xue was at the medical center, so I sent him there." Yang Liu pointed in the direction of the medical center.
"How is his injury? What was he injured? What's going on here?" Wen Qingzhu glanced around, and there were many workers watching.
They were all former disaster victims and got this job opportunity after registration and screening.
Yang Liu took Wen Qingzhu to the front of the beam, pointed to the corpses on it and said, "The person who killed these workers was a master. Judging from the traces left at the scene, the method does not look like Daqi's method."
According to what he knew, Wen Qingzhu looked at the corpses carefully.
Everyone was hung up by a rope, their eyes were wide open, their mouths were slightly open, their throats were directly pierced by a sharp instrument, and blood was dripping on their clothes.
After observing everyone's wounds, Wen Qingzhu couldn't remember what sharp weapon caused this.
Yang Liu reminded him: "It should be double thorns."
"What kind of weapon is this?" Wen Qingzhu was a little surprised.
They happened to see Wang Chi stand up and walk towards them.
Standing in front of them, Wang Chi raised his hands and said hello: "Sir, Mr. Yang, I have asked clearly. There should be no less than ten people here. Their target is not these ordinary workers. One person said that they want engineering drawings." .”
"Engineering drawings?" Wen Qingzhu didn't quite understand. Aren't the engineering drawings over there at the Yamen
It occurred to her randomly that the Yamen side was the most heavily guarded place and it was difficult for ordinary people to enter.
In order to ensure the normal progress of the construction period, Wen Qingzhu separated all the parts and worked on them piece by piece.
If you can’t get the whole thing, you can get all the parts and put them together!
"The only person who can come up with this idea is—"
"Yao Ban!" Wei Lin's voice appeared behind him.
Wen Qingzhu looked back and saw that he was walking over quickly with his men.
"Madam, something happened to several chief carpenters. The engineering drawings in their hands have all disappeared. The prince is now leading people to trace them."
Wei Lin turned his head and looked at the corpse in front of him, feeling very heavy.
Wen Qingzhu noticed that his eyes stopped on the wounds of these people.
Suddenly, Wen Qingzhu asked him: "After the canal project was completed, did you go to the northwest?"
Wei Lin replied: "Well, the situation over there is not very good. The Hun King is seriously ill, several sons are fighting for power, and the border is gradually becoming unstable."
"Are you not dead yet? I remember that the Huns have been seriously ill for a long time." Wen Qingzhu felt a little strange.
Wei Lin looked around and said briefly: "The Hun King's situation is a bit special. It is not a natural disease. According to rumors..."
"What are the rumors?" Wen Qingzhu suddenly stopped when he saw Wei Lin.
Wang Chi suddenly interjected: "It is rumored that the King of the Huns got a stunning beauty a few years ago, and the other beauty emptied his body."
"Huh?" Wen Qingzhu was immediately shocked. Aren't the Huns always well-dressed and powerful
Wei Lin looked at Wang Chi and recalled his accent: "You are from Yunzhou, have you ever been to Dingyuan?"
Although Yunzhou and Ding are not far away, because the further to the northwest, the environment becomes worse, so few people go back there.
If it weren't for this snowstorm, the environment in Yunzhou would be much better.
Wang Chi nodded: "I was born in Dingyuan. I stayed there for a while when I was a child, and I also went to the Xiongnu grasslands. The Huns are different from us. Their so-called rumors are generally true."
"Are you so sure?" Wei Lin discovered that this boy was a little special.
Wen Qingzhu thought for a while and interrupted them: "Put the body down first and take it back to the Yamen."
The body was transported back to the Yamen. After Zuo Zuo's autopsy, it was exactly the same as Wen Qingzhu's guess.
Wei Lin got a pair of double thorns from somewhere and sent them to Wen Qingzhu.
The double thorn is a silver iron rod that is thicker than chopsticks. It has two pointed ends and a protruding circle in the middle. It can be held in the palm of the hand just enough.
"This kind of weapon is rarely used by ordinary people."
Wen Qingzhu took it in his hand and looked at it carefully. He found that it was a little unstable, and it would take someone with particularly rough hands to hold it tightly.
Generally, most of these people live on the grassland.
The skin of the palms of nomadic people is generally very thick.
Wen Qingzhu raised his head and asked, "Do you suspect that Yao Ban is related to the Huns?"
"Well, I found traces left by Yao Ban in the northwest before. When I started to notice abnormalities, I didn't know that he was Yao Ban. He only appeared in everyone's sight after you left Beijing. We just I’m sure he is Yao Ban.”
"us?"
"And Lu Ce."
Wen Qingzhu suddenly realized that the news she had received before was that Jiang Yue had secretly attacked the Lu family a long time ago.
Her father had written a letter to her before, but Lu Ce didn't reply.
I think the situation there is not very good.
"Wait a minute, the snowstorm is spreading from the northwest. Is Dingyuan okay?"
Wei Lin nodded: "Don't worry, Madam, there is heavy snowfall in Dingyuan every year, and the environment is always very bad. In addition, there are troops stationed, so food and grass are always well prepared, and the houses are built extra solidly compared to other places, so Dingyuan is not There is no big problem, and during this snowstorm, the small places around Dingyuan all benefited from the presence of the Lu Family Army, so there was basically no loss."
"That's true, but if people in seven or eight places including Yunzhou are displaced, the snow disaster will definitely be serious. But even so, under the governance of the Lu family, they still don't need help from the court."
At this point, Wen Qingzhu stopped.
In this case, the emperor who was far away in the capital would naturally be worried.
The two people looked at each other and said nothing. Although the Lu family's problems were serious, Yao Ban was the biggest worry now.
When something like this happens, it is inevitable that some of the victims and palace residents will panic.
By the afternoon, there had been several cases of workers leaving their posts without permission, intending to leave Cannes.
Wen Qingzhu did not blame them heavily. He just speeded up the distribution of tranquilizers and constantly re-selected new workers.
In addition, the construction of city walls and moats was also put on the table.
The design drawings of these two projects were personally designed and sent by the Liang family.
It showed that this was with the consent of the emperor.
At night, the relief efforts were intensified, and after drinking tranquilizers for a day, most people calmed down.
The problem now is that if we start construction, we need materials.
In addition, this severe cold weather will last for a period of time. The problem of food and housing is gradually solved, but there has never been a good solution to the problem of clothing.
There are too few women, and the cotton-padded clothes sent from Luo City are far from enough.
Looking at the pile of information in front of him, Wen Qingzhu had a severe headache.
At night, Lu Tao brought a midnight snack.
"Miss, why don't you take a rest?" Lu Tao suffered minor injuries. Originally, she wanted to go back and continue to be responsible for remodeling the house.
But Wen Qingzhu disagreed and worried that Yao Ban would not give up, so he left Yang Liu and Wang Chi there.
Wen Qingzhu raised his head, took the hot soup she brought and drank it.
As soon as his body warmed up, Wen Qingzhu's fatigue improved a lot.
Lu Tao stood in front of her and did not leave. Wen Qingzhu was eating glutinous rice balls and suddenly stopped: "Do you have anything to say?"
"I..." Lu Tao's eyes flickered a little, as if he was hesitating.
Wen Qingzhu put down the chopsticks in his hand: "I have many people here. When Xi'er comes back, if you want to do anything, go ahead."
"Miss, I just want to make sure he is okay. I trust Miss Snow!" Lu Tao explained nervously.
Wen Qingzhu laughed: "I know that if it weren't for you, Yu Fan wouldn't have been so seriously injured. Just go ahead and leave my affairs to Xi'er."
"Then I'm leaving." Lu Tao nodded, turned around and left.
The door was slowly closed, and Wen Qingzhu looked ahead, feeling a little unsure.
Today, the medical center also sent news that Yu Fan's body was double-stabbed and penetrated several times. Although he was sent to the hospital in time, he lost too much blood and has not yet woken up.
When he came back, Yang Liu also mentioned the situation at that time.
Lu Tao hugged Yu Fan who was covered in blood and shouted. When Yang Liu arrived, he almost thought the person Lu Tao was holding was Dongzi.
It's because the way Lu Tao cried was so similar to the situation back then.
After Yang Liu arrived, he helped rescue them in time.
Although Yang Liu didn't elaborate, Wen Qingzhu could still feel that Yang Liu regretted it.
He regretted that he didn't rush to Lu Tao first and let Yu Fan save Lu Tao first.
Thinking of the leak of the food transportation route, Wen Qingzhu felt that Yu Fan was still a little strange.
It's just that Yu Fan saved Lu Tao this time. According to the news from the medical center, he was probably almost dead.
If Yu Fan dies, then he is useless as the person who leaked the news.
After all, it was just a batch of food. It was not like Jiang Yuancheng could be wrong for someone like Yu Fan to die here.
What he prefers is long-term investment.
It's better that she sent Zhang Ke to lurk next to Jiang Yuancheng.
Speaking of this habit, she learned it from Jiang Yuancheng.
"Xier Beidou!"
Wen Qingzhu stood up. She had to confirm Yu Fan's situation herself.
After going out, she quickly rushed to the medical center.
Yu Fan was placed in a separate ward because his life was hanging by a thread.
However, Wen Qingzhu did not go in immediately, but went to find Xue Miaomiao.
She is the person responsible for treating Yu Fan.
Finally, Wen Qingzhu found Xue Miaomiao at the pharmacy.
She was flipping through medical books with an anxious look on her face, and from time to time she turned her head to take out some medicinal materials from the drawer behind her.
Wen Qingzhu walked over, looked at the medical books on the table and asked, "Is Yu Fan's condition serious?"
"Cousin? Why are you here?" Xue Miaomiao was stunned. She was about to ask something, but then she said, "I have to keep looking. There must be something!"
After a while, Xue Miaomiao grabbed a thin rod in her hand in surprise and said, "Finally found it!"
"What did you find?" Wen Qingzhu looked up.
Xue Miaomiao was seen rushing toward Yu Fan's ward with this thing, and Wen Qingzhu quickly followed behind.
