Chapter 477 Who did it?

Naturally, no one from the Wen family broke into the palace, but there were definitely people from the Wen family in the palace.

After all, Concubine Wen has been in the palace for so many years...

"I'll check it out right away!"

The commander of the Royal Guards stood up and was about to run over when suddenly the ground shook, followed by a scorching air wave, a loud noise, and broken bricks and wood.

Everyone, including the Sirius Emperor, was knocked over by the air wave. When they got up again, they rolled and crawled away.

A huge hole had been blown up in the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, and even the fire was blown away.

When he stood still again, Emperor Tianlang's face turned completely black.

Everyone reacted: there was a second explosion in the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests.

The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests was completely blown to pieces, and the burning wood fell on the nearby palaces, causing several fires...

The firefighters were even busier.

Emperor Sirius looked at the broken wood falling at his feet and even his voice trembled.

"Is this black powder so powerful?"

If the gunpowder was not placed in the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests but fell in the Imperial Study, would he still be alive?

I'm afraid that the bones have been blown into pieces like broken wood in front of me?

Death without a complete body...

The Heavenly Wolf Emperor fiercely ordered: "Pass the order down, find the secret base of the Wen family at all costs!"

Thinking of another possibility, he immediately added: "Don't let go of any clues about the Dongshan wolf cub!"

What if it's some other force?

The capital of Tianlang is in turmoil again.

Everyone suspected the Wen family, followed by the aristocratic families in the capital who had access to black gunpowder. However, no one suspected Fu Chenan.

Fu Chenan's "mother has died", but he still refuses to accept the reality and is digging up her ashes with Prince Jing.

Two charred bodies were dug out from the main courtyard. It was impossible to tell whether they were male or female, let alone identify who was Qi Rongrong.

Fu Chenan was "heartbroken" and took the opportunity to propose that he would escort the coffin back to Tianwu and wait for an explanation from Emperor Tianlang later.

The Sirius Emperor's men took advantage of the chaos to search Fu Chenan's surroundings and nearby areas, but they didn't find the mysterious weapon. Upon hearing this, they became interested again.

If a person leaves Tianlang, that thing will be taken away anyway, right?

Can we always find it out by waiting for the convoy to hit the road?

So the Sirius Emperor agreed "heartbrokenly".

Fu Chenan asked the captain of the personal guard, He Chong, to disguise himself and escort "Qi Rongrong" back to Tianwu, but he himself stayed in the capital of Tianlang.

From light to darkness, Fu Chenan looked towards the direction of the palace and bared his teeth: Uncle, your good days are over...

When Fu Chenan and his companions brought the wolf cubs down Dadong Mountain, they used ropes to descend.

There were rock pitons hammered into the cracks of the hard stone, with traces of ropes sliding across them.

Looking at the rock spikes that were placed in front of him, the Sirius Emperor frowned and asked, "Is this hammered into the cracks of the rocks?"

"yes."

"Such a hard stone can be pierced by this thing?"

How hard should this nail be?

The Tianlang craftsmen could not make such hard nails, nor were they of this style, so -

"Is this Tianwu's thing?!"

A cold light flashed in the eyes of the Sirius Emperor.

So, Prince Jing gained the support of Tianwu and joined forces with Tianwu?

Fu Chenan couldn’t take so many wolf cubs away, so it’s more likely that Prince Jing is hiding them?

The Sirius Emperor asked, "Where is Prince Jing?"

"In the palace."

"He hasn't left yet?"

"Prince Jing said that his mansion was bombed and it was unsafe for him to live in the mansion. He wanted to stay in the palace until it was safe before leaving."

This operation is "very quiet".

If it were usual, the Sirius Emperor would definitely sneer and call you "waste".

But now, Emperor Sirius only felt a chill on his back.

"Was he in the palace when the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests exploded?"

"At that time, Prince Jing was waiting outside the Imperial Study for His Majesty to summon him..."

In other words: Prince Jing himself certainly did not have the time to blow up the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, but did he bribe anyone in the palace?

"check!"

"yes."

"Where is the Wen family?" The Wen family is also a key suspect.

"In the Ministry of Punishment."

Because he was worried that the emperor would question him, he was kept alive with medicine after the torture.

"I'll go take a look..."

His Majesty the Emperor has arrived at the Ministry of Punishment.

In the dungeon of the Ministry of Punishment, the imperial concubine was emaciated and her clothes were tattered.

One of her eyes was blind and all her ten fingernails were gone, obviously she had been tortured.

The kind that doesn't kill you but makes you want to die.

When she saw the emperor again, Concubine Wen shuddered and sobbed for mercy.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent... I know nothing!"

The emperor didn't respond at all. Concubine Wen looked like a ghost. How could he be gentle with her?

After he sat down, he asked directly: "Where did the Wen family get the black gunpowder?"

Concubine Wen: "I have confessed! I have nothing to hide!"

"Crush a finger."

"Ah!!!" A scream rang out, but Concubine Wen really did not hide anything.

When Wen Yuansheng was the marshal of the Southern Expedition Army, he did secretly ask someone to make gunpowder.

These people and the gunpowder were not included in the list of the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of War had no idea how much the Wen family produced.

Concubine Wen herself doesn't know.

"When I need something, I will ask my brother to give it to me. How can I check the amount myself?"

"After he was shot, these things were handed over to Yuan Ting..."

The Emperor waved his hand, and soon Wen Yuanting was brought in, covered in wounds.

Wen Yuanting also admitted to using black gunpowder, but talked about the shortcomings of black gunpowder.

"This thing is difficult to make and not easy to use. If it weren't for the iron pear flower, it would be no different from a large firecracker..."

The emperor suddenly seemed to have thought of something and looked to the side: "When the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests exploded, were there any iron pear flowers?"

The commander of the Imperial Guards immediately shook his head: "We didn't find this thing..."

The emperor began to sweat on his back again: No iron pear flower?

Did the Wen family create a new variety?

Or - it wasn't the Wen family who did it at all?

Just as his mind was spinning rapidly, a commotion suddenly came from the dungeon door: "Who is it?"

"stop!"

"Stop him..."

The emperor was shocked and turned around to run out. At this moment, a dozen black things rolled down from the dungeon entrance, with smoke coming out of one end.

It's a grenade...

With the loud bangs and explosions, the dungeon was deafening and filled with smoke, but soon it became completely quiet.

Prince Jing led his men down the dungeon.

Looking at the people lying all over the ground, his pupils shrank and he had them all tied up.

Finally, he stopped in front of the Sirius Emperor.

The Sirius Emperor was covered in blood, and one of his legs was a bloody mess.

When he saw the smoking grenade, he subconsciously kicked it and the grenade exploded.

I guess this leg can't be saved...

Prince Jing waved his hand and someone immediately came forward and helped Emperor Tianlang up. A medicine bottle was placed under his nose and the stopper was removed. A scent of medicine rushed straight to his head and Emperor Tianlang woke up.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he met Prince Jing's playful look.

"Is your Majesty feeling better?"

The Sirius Emperor's expression changed from confusion at first, to gradual awakening, and finally to shock: "It's you?"

"You...how did you do that?"

"You actually trained so many people in the palace to serve you?"

Prince Jing sneered: "Your Majesty, you think too highly of me. I don't have that ability."

"I can use these people, thank you..."
