The sudden incident surprised Zhao Xin greatly. The border guard was dead, and there was no sign of his death, as if he had frozen to death in the cold wind out of thin air.
Zhao Xin had sent people to add clothes to him before. It was impossible for him to starve to death if he could eat. Finally, Zhao Xin asked them to carry the prefect down for an autopsy.
The autopsy officer had, of course, heard of the governor's reputation. He had contracted smallpox, but seeing that this didn't look like smallpox, he glanced at Zhao Xin and silently performed an autopsy.
The autopsy process was very long. Xiao Chenzi had repeatedly advised His Majesty to wait outside, but Zhao Xin ignored him and just stood by and watched the autopsy officer give the prefect a very detailed physical examination.
In the end, he had no choice but to turn back and report.
"Your Majesty, this man has no traces of poison manufacturing on his body, nor any injuries. His physical condition is also fine. It looks like he died suddenly."
These words made Zhao Xin laugh.
"It's spring now, the sun isn't too glaring, and the breeze is quite gentle. Even in the middle of the night, I sent someone to give the governor more clothes. So, may I ask how he died? Could he have really died of smallpox?"
this…
The autopsy officer also hesitated for a long time.
However, the result of his examination showed that he had died suddenly, and there was no trace of smallpox on his body. However, his face looked extremely pale.
It seems that rather than a sudden death, it would be more accurate to say that she died of fright. It is said that several palace maids and court ladies had drowned in the Taiye Lake, and there were also several wells nearby.
I heard that someone had drowned in that well before. Could it be that the prefect had an evil spirit or saw a ghost in the middle of the night?
"I am going to use him to perform a trick now. I don't care whether this man can be saved or not. I am going to use him to do a very important thing. I hope he won't let me down!"
The accompanying palace maids and eunuchs immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. Now the autopsy officer was also quite desperate.
The person who performed the autopsy on you is asked to cure the disease and save lives.
So even though he felt helpless, he had to agree. If he didn't agree, what if the emperor got unhappy and tied him up there too?
As for what happens next, I'll figure it out slowly...
"I understand..."
Zhao Xin turned away coldly and then turned in another direction. He already knew who was responsible for this disaster.
We had sent people to search the place before, and there were indeed people patrolling here last night, but according to investigation, the guards saw a pattern.
The pattern was so gaudy that it looked like it had been done by the evildoers who had been lurking in the city.
However, that group of people have become much more well-behaved now, probably because their leader was captured.
However, the guards who accompanied him gave a very important clue. There was a symbol inside that was the mechanical creation seen before.
After further reasoning, it seems that the person who created the mechanism mentioned by He Zhizhou is not active here, and there is only one person who has the right to tinker with that tool.
Chen Mang.
Seeing He Zhizhou's hesitant way of speaking, it was likely that the two of them knew each other. Moreover, this Chen Mang was most likely the head or second-in-command of the family.
As for why he came to Daqin to lurk, Zhao Xin actually didn't know, because there was no such plot in the original work at all, so Zhao Xin was also unaware of it and let it develop.
Anyway, his destiny-changing system isn't working very well these days. The unpolished jade from the previous dynasty that person gave him was said to be a treasure, but the system hasn't shown any activity yet. I don't know if it's real or fake, or if it's broken...
But what he knew in his heart was that Chen Mang could not be touched.
Since this person cannot be moved and cannot be allowed to do whatever he wants in the palace, he can only send him to design the Linglong Tower for himself.
As soon as this idea came out, Zhao Xin thought it was feasible, and then walked towards the library.
When he lowered his head, he saw Chen Mang sitting on the ground drawing a blueprint. The blueprint was so densely packed that it was difficult to understand.
Zhao Xin also clearly told him the purpose of his visit, and his threatening gaze was even more intense.
"You have to do it whether you can or not. If you betray me, you're done."
I don’t know what Chen Mang is doing, but the other people’s attitudes are hesitant.
Instead, he clutched the thing in his hand as if he were a guilty thief.
He had also used his ability to judge people to measure Chen Mang before. This Chen Mang was indeed a man of both civil and military talents. It was hard for him to imagine what kind of top-notch military or literary general he would be if all four of his qualities reached the maximum level of 120.
Maybe Zhao Xin will never see him again in this life.
"Your Majesty, what you are talking about... As for the Linglong Pagoda, how did Your Majesty know about it?"
I think the exquisite tower might be the property of the Evil Mansion. Its craftsmanship was personally handled by the head of the Evil Mansion, and no outsiders were involved in its production.
And this technology is only known to those in power.
"Your Majesty, are you planning to make a replica, or did you obtain authorization from the Evil House?"
Look at the question, it seems that he wants to ask him where the blueprint came from, but Zhao Xin naturally can't tell him.
Besides, letting him take charge didn't mean he had to do a complete package. The design of the cardboard was also difficult for Chen Mang.
If he has a photographic memory and can remember things at will, then his patent will sell too quickly, so we plan to let him do it.
He divided the blueprint into four small parts and gave them to four people respectively. Among them, he planned to send the people from the Evil House, the military general Yu Huatian, and the civil official Yu Qian.
Easy as pie.
As the Grand Coachman, Yu Qian is currently not in any trouble, so Zhao Xin was very confident in handing the matter over to the four of them.
The person who appeared in the surveillance this time was Su Xi, the little girl of Lu Renfu.
Zhao Xin had heard that she had been abducted by Crane State, so he was very surprised to see her. He had wanted to ask Crane State about it before, but was delayed by something, so he didn't ask.
However, now a few days have passed, and he has almost finished the medicinal bath. It is almost seven days, and it is time to determine whether this medicinal bath is right or wrong. Su Xi probably understands everything.
People like Su Jie and Feng Qingsi probably said everything.
Su Xi's first question was about the situation. If you count it, tomorrow will be the seventh day. If you pick up the pieces now, it might not be too late.
"I've been poisoned before, so I'm pretty good with the knife. I've tried it several times, I guarantee it won't hurt!"
Su Xi had indeed been poisoned several times, but the bad thing was that each time he would endure the pain for seven days and then be half-dead, and then he would use poison to fight poison to force the poison out.
