When you look up.
Ning Wuyan's eyes were extremely sharp, like an unsheathed blade.
Shen Youchu, who was kneeling next to him, was startled when he saw this.
A bold thought came to mind: Is Mr. Ning planning to kill someone?
Could it be that……
"Master Ning, was Master's death really an accident?"
Shen Youchu stared longingly at Ning Wuyan's face, expecting him to give him a satisfactory answer.
She always believed that even if the divination was certain, the master would not be so reckless as to be struck to death by lightning.
In addition, when they arrived, the person in charge of collecting intelligence from the Shen family learned from Huangzhuang that Mr. Ning was investigating the traces of the Beidi caravan.
There was a voice deep inside her that kept lingering.
He's from Beidi!
It must be someone from Beidi who murdered Master!
"Miss Shen, some things cannot be said by others. You have to see it with your own eyes. Your Majesty has already concluded this matter. If you have new evidence, you can tell me. There is no need to discuss this matter anymore. I am tired. , go and rest for a while first.”
Be someone else.
Ning Wuhao can lie in public for the sake of the overall situation.
But Shen Youchu is not someone else.
She is not only the only disciple of Chinese Normal University, she is also the one he does not want to deceive.
Ning Wuyang staggered when he stood up.
When Shen Youchu saw that he was exhausted, he swallowed back his doubts.
"Master Ning, please go and rest first. I will keep vigil here. I will investigate the cause of Master's death myself. If I need your help, I hope you can give me your advice."
"……good."
Ning Wuyang could hear the distant politeness in her words.
She knew that her answer made Shen Youchu dissatisfied.
But she still didn't take it out on herself.
That's enough.
He said silently in his heart: Miss Shen, I will definitely tell you the whole truth after I make the murderer pay the price.
Now, not yet.
Holding the note left by the Chinese Normal University, Ning Wuyan was led by the deputy steward of the Imperial Villa to the guest room to rest.
I was so sleepy that I couldn't even open my eyelids.
But the smell of paper money lingering on the tip of his nose made him sleep uneasily. There seemed to be thunder in his ears. It took only an hour for the sky to turn white, but he woke up three or four times.
It's hard to be very sleepy but unable to sleep.
The most uncomfortable thing is.
He couldn't go to the wake yet.
Because I still have to go to the hunting ground in the northern suburbs to arrange the equipment needed for the poetry appreciation party.
and overseeing the manufacture of horseshoes.
Only then could the murderer, who was hiding behind his back and quietly observing his movements with the Chinese Normal University, send a dangerous signal.
If he is not eradicated.
The horseshoe is about to be successfully made.
in addition.
He still has to order hundreds of sets of Kongming lanterns. The business is important, but there are also many supporting chores.
Thinking of this, even though his heart was filled with knots and he couldn't sleep, Ning Wuhao still forced himself to perform the Cloud Breathing Technique to adjust his breathing and rhythm.
Unknowingly, when his breath merged with the world, people had already entered dreamland.
at this time.
In the capital city that had completely woken up, the wave that had just started due to Hua Yi's death was drowned out by the sound of the poetry appreciation party.
Since Hua Yi had already withdrawn from the court, even though he had offended several people in the past, in this case, no one would make an issue about the cause of his death.
Only when Zhou Qian said that Hua Yi would be buried near the imperial mausoleum, several ministers jumped out and raised objections.
In the end, because the opposition voices were not loud enough, each of the six departments was busy organizing poetry appreciation parties and horseshoes, and no one responded to these objections at all.
Regarding the funeral arrangements, we will continue to proceed in accordance with Zhou Qian's will.
Three days passed by in a flash.
It’s September 29th.
Ning Wuchang used the excuse that he accidentally caught a cold due to the wind due to a poetry appreciation party, so he stayed in the Imperial Manor for a day's rest and began to observe the changes in the celestial phenomena.
Because China Normal University only wrote down five days on the original letter, and did not write down exactly when it would rain or thunder.
The specific time depends on the inference of the new Qin Tianjian.
Although this Qin Tianjian was not a low-income person, he also came from a related famous family, but because he was still young, he had lived for twenty-five years, and it was the first time he had seen thunder in late autumn.
therefore.
The newly appointed Director Li can only observe the weather changes that day.
According to his inference, as the weather became colder in the past two days, there should be thunder at noon.
But the first two times there were thunder and lightning only at night, so he was not sure that he could calculate it correctly.
In order to cooperate with Ning Wuhuang's actions, Zhou Qian specially sent Director Li to Huangzhuang.
Zhou Qian originally wanted to claim to the outside world that he wanted Director Li to learn some of Hua Yi's skills in observing the sky and deducing the sky.
Ning Wushan suggested that he should just tell Director Li that he was here to help check the weather.
Because the murderer also knew about the five days given to him by the Chinese Normal University. He only needed to change the details slightly to avoid suspicion.
so.
When Director Li arrived, he specially offered a stick of incense to Hua Yi. When faced with his inquiry, Director Li answered calmly.
"Master Ning heard what Master Hua said and said that there will be thunder on the first day of October. He was worried about affecting the safety of the poetry appreciation party, so he specially asked me to calculate the time of thunder today. It would also be better to remind everyone in advance during the poetry appreciation party to avoid participating in the poetry appreciation party. The envoys and intellectuals from all over the world were frightened."
This news reached the ears of the people in Beidi, and neither Yuan Guoshi nor Descartes had any doubts.
Huangzhuang is only ten miles away from the hunting ground in the northern suburbs.
The time to observe thunder and lightning in Huangzhuang is not much different from that at the hunting ground in the northern suburbs.
In addition, Huayi also has relevant manuscripts in the hands of Miss Shen. The reason for not keeping them intact is for study.
No one paid much attention to the appearance of Director Li.
What Yuan Guoshi is most concerned about is the horseshoe that has not moved yet.
"Is there no news from Princess Xian's palace?"
Yuan Guoshi asked Descartes how much that was.
Descarnato shook his head.
Strange to say.
It only took three days to make the colored glaze.
This horseshoe was made for three days, and the news was not blocked, but it was never cast.
Descartes couldn't help but gloat about his misfortune, wondering whether the prosperity of the country would inevitably decline. If Ning Wuyan died and the horse shoe casting was stillborn, they would no longer have to focus on this matter.
When Yuan Guoshi heard that the horseshoe had not been successfully made, he smiled with satisfaction and changed the topic: "Tomorrow will be the poetry appreciation party, and the hunting ground in the northern suburbs should be almost finished. I don't know that Ning Wuhuang asked the royal craftsmen to make it. What are so many lanterns for?"
National Preceptor, that is called the Kongming Lantern.
Descartes muttered something in his heart, and handed a layout plan that had just been sent from Jin Prince's Palace to Yuan Guoshi.
"This is the layout of the hunting ground in the northern suburbs. It was drawn by Ning Wuchang himself and copied by the Crown Prince of Jin. Please see where the divine iron is placed for the most concealment and safety."
Yuan Guoshi immediately took over.
After reading the layout plan, he frowned and stared at the irregularly arranged flags like a forest.
Although it is marked above that this is a flagpole used to hang the totems of various countries in the Western Regions, those lanterns hanging ten feet high are too high.
I don't know what Ning Wuyao is doing.
but.
These flagpoles helped him a lot.
Yuan Guoshi drew a red circle with a pen three hundred meters away from the flagpole.
Descarnato suddenly became energetic and asked tentatively: "Master Yuan Guo, after the thunder stops today, will you be able to go to the hunting ground in the northern suburbs to place the artifact?"
