Yu Wenzhang didn't bring many people in. He just selected a few people who were capable and had high martial arts value.

The rest of Renyu Wenwen asked them to stay at the entrance of the cave to prevent any fish from slipping through the net.

Yu Wenzhang walked through the piles of corpses, his eyes stopped for a moment in front of the corpses with missing arms and legs, and then he walked over without looking away.

His goal was the stone door that showed a little bit of light. The reason why others survived had nothing to do with him, and he didn't want to delve into it, because many things, once delved into, would be simply terrifying.

In short, there is no good in knowing too much.

Similarly, when you open the stone door with one hand, the scenery in front of you suddenly opens up, and the air mixed with the smell of rust comes to your face. Yu Wenzhang squinted his eyes and looked at the stone chamber. This stone chamber was not small, about as big as two Ziyun Palaces.

Smelting platforms of all sizes were dotted throughout, and water flowed from the corners. Skylight poured down from the holes in the roof of the cave. Through the skylight, Yu Wenwen saw swords and instruments that had not yet been smelted scattered everywhere on the ground. .

Thinking of the corpses wearing blacksmith costumes in the corridor he just passed through, Yuwen felt angry for the first time.

There is no doubt that this is a smelting room. Perhaps a few months ago, the blacksmiths were still standing here alive smelting swords.

But I don’t know what happened, and Jia Xin abandoned this smelting site. In order to prevent the matter from being exposed, Jia Xin chose to suffocate them all in the corridor.

So in the blink of an eye, they turned into cold corpses.

The plague spread on the corpse, which was then washed away by the sudden surge of water, and then the plague spread.

A small Qinzhou prefect could actually do such an inhumane thing. He said that no one above him had given instructions. Yu Wenwen wouldn't believe it even if he beat him to death. He remembered that Qinzhou was Li Hu's fiefdom...

"Li Hu..." Yu Wenzhang murmured.

His Majesty has just ascended the throne, and his foundation is unstable. No matter how powerful he is, if he touches Li Hu, he will definitely cause turmoil in the court. The Eastern Wei Dynasty is still watching, the Huns in the north are not stopping, and there is also Nanliang. If he really takes action at this time...

Yu Wenwen suddenly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was a faint light of gold and stone killing in his eyes.

"Sir, we found two stone doors ahead!"

Yu Wenwen walked over and took a look, then ordered someone to open the stone door, and warned: "Be cautious." After saying that, Yu Wenwen casually touched a handful of stones on the ground and held it in his hand.

Everyone said yes, and then with two muffled sounds, the stone door was slowly opened a gap.

The moment the gap appeared, a few cold lights appeared. Yu Wenzhang, who had been on guard against this for a long time, threw the stone in his hand without hesitation.

There were a few crisp pinging sounds, and there were a few more arrows on the ground with a faint cold light.

The door openers who had just escaped were so frightened that they broke into a cold sweat. After they recovered, they all respected and admired Yu Wenzhang even more.

Yu Wenwen told them to step aside and went to check. Except for the cold arrows shot from the door at the beginning, there was no movement inside the door.

These are two stone chambers, like ear chambers, one on the left and one on the right. In the stone room on the left, there are some semi-finished products of swords, guns, swords and halberds piled up in disorder, while in the stone room on the right, there are piles of excavated ores.

As expected, this place is an iron mine, and Jia Xin smelted the ore into weapons while mining.

The late emperor had not been dead long, and his bones had not yet turned cold, yet they dared to do such a treasonous thing.

Yu Wenzhang frowned and continued to move forward, passing through the stone chamber, there was a long downward corridor, and the ground was covered with deep ruts. He had a hunch that this might be another way down the mountain.

After walking for who knows how long, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and Yu Wenzhang quickened his pace and walked over.

Suddenly Yu Wenzhang's eyes narrowed and he saw a figure lying on the ground not far from the exit, motionless.

Yu Wenzhang walked over and took a look, and saw that this man had a long sword stuck in his chest. He had been dead for a long time, and his body had become beyond recognition.

But judging from his clothes, this man is either rich or noble. The material he wore was sky blue gauze. Ordinary people would never have such expensive materials to make clothes.

Moreover, the person who killed him did not hide the identity of this person at all. He had an impression of identification hanging on his waist.

Yu Wenwen took a look and saw two big characters "Jia Xin" engraved on it.

Jia Xin is dead, and has been dead for a long time. He was killed in the secret tunnel he dug.

Yu Wenwen could even imagine what Jia Xin looked like when he died. He locked the migrant workers in the corridor and tried to starve them to death. Then he hurriedly escaped from the secret passage and was about to escape, but was killed by his accomplices at the exit.

If this is the real Jia Xin, then who gave the order to the man in black to assassinate him?

He knows everything about Jia Xin, knows Feng Bao, and knows the secret passages in the prefect's house. Who is this person behind the scenes?

No matter who it is, Yu Wenzhang knows that it has something to do with Li Hu.

Yu Wenzhang did not believe that there would be no traces of such a large amount of weapons flowing. You still have to investigate, and if you follow the clues, you can always find something.

However, His Majesty is in Qinzhou now, and his body should not be bumpy. He must be protected by others. If he leaves, there is no guarantee that some daring assassins will not come to harass him.

Yu Wenzhang frowned, thinking about how to deal with it. The epidemic in Qinzhou has now been brought under control. All officials, big and small, have been detained pending trial. The people in the inspection office should be able to handle it.

In this case, Wu Yan would be free to check the flow of these weapons. As for the capital, he has already made arrangements, and there should be no chaos for a while. However, it is not ruled out that someone may cause chaos while His Majesty and I are away. After all, such an opportunity only comes once in a lifetime.

From this point of view, we still have to return to Beijing as soon as possible. It's just your Majesty's situation...

Yu Wenwen couldn't think of any good ideas for a while. Simply stop thinking about it and focus on the things in front of you.

After coming out of the cave, we were indeed at the foot of the mountain. It seemed that Jia Xin had dug through the mountain. No wonder Yu Wenzhang didn't see any useful ore, they were still late.

After instructing the good people to deal with the situation in the mountains, Yu Wenwen turned around and returned to the prefect's mansion. Wu Yan is still guarding His Majesty there. If you want to investigate the situation here, you must hand over the matter to Wu Yan sooner rather than later.

Yu Wenzhang was a little helpless. He didn't bring many people out this time, otherwise he wouldn't be so stretched.

It's just that he has arranged for the others to be guarded in Beijing, and it is difficult to mobilize them. The only blame is that His Majesty stepped in. He never expected that Your Majesty would also come to Qinzhou...

Returning to the prefect's mansion, Yu Wenwen handed over the task to Wu Yan and asked him to lead people to investigate secretly. After setting it up, Yu Wenzhang came to Su Qing's room.

Su Qing was still asleep, and Doctor Wang's medicine was indeed effective. It's just that although Su Qing was asleep, her brows were slightly frowned, and it was obvious that she was not sleeping peacefully.

Yu Wenwen called Imperial Physician Wang over and asked, "I want to take His Majesty back to the palace. Can you guarantee His Majesty's safety?"

Doctor Wang knelt on the ground with a plop and said: "Sir, you must not do this. Your Majesty's injury should not be bumped..."
