Chapter 372 There is something wrong in the pill room

Everyone was immediately overturned by the air waves, and many pieces of rubble flew around. Chen Hong was pressed under his godson and escaped. After the vibration of the ground disappeared, he got up. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw a flash in front of him, as if something had fallen from his head and fell on his head.

"Oh...what is this?"

Chen Hong reached out to touch it, but he felt it was soft and rotten. When he took it in front of him, he saw that it was not scared to death. He was actually a person who had been blown up.

"Oh...good!"

Chen Hong was so scared that he didn't need the eunuch to help him. He jumped high and ran out in a row. He was about to run out a hundred steps before he turned around and looked at the Danfang. It was already blown out and he could no longer see his original appearance!

At this time, the palace people rushed over after hearing the news.

"Eunuch Chen, what's wrong with this...?"

Chen Hong is worthy of being an old man who has been with the emperor for many years. He is much calmer than others when encountering problems. While wiping away the blood from his hands behind his back, he shouted with a stare,

"What else can I ask? Why don't you call someone quickly..."

After thinking about it, he ordered,

"Hurry... report it to the Grand Governor and ask him to send the guards from the palace to come in to help save people!"

There is no need for the palace people to report it. The Jinyiwei in the palace had already heard the news and rushed here. Soon a team of palace guards moved out of the rubble to find the injured, carried them all out to treat the imperial doctor in the palace, and collected the broken limbs and broken arms that were blown away, and moved the collapsed beams and broken bricks and tiles bit by bit to find out what happened in the alchemy room!

The Jinyiwei took action and was indeed extremely efficient. After it was dark, Lu Bing came to report it to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, this explosion in the alchemy house caused a total of 19 people to be injured and ten people died. Eleven houses collapsed and sixteen were damaged..."

Jiajing frowned and waved his hands,

"You don't need to tell me about these, just say why it exploded?"

"this……"

Lu Bing showed a hesitation on his face and looked at Miao Zhenzi who was standing with his hands hanging down.

"This... Weichen went to the scene to see it personally. The destruction of the alchemy room was too thorough and it was difficult to verify for a while. However, he asked the surviving Taoist boy and said that the elixir was mixed with excessive sulfur and saltpeter in the alchemy furnace..."

Jiajing looked at Miao Zhenzi after hearing this.

"National Master, what kind of elixir is being refined in the alchemy room?"

Miao Zhenzi bowed and replied,

"Go back to Your Majesty, the immortal spiritual medicine is being refined in the alchemy room. I think it was because the Taoist boy did not follow the rules and randomly added materials would cause an explosion..."

After hearing this, Jiajing's face darkened.

"Didn't there be rules that when refining immortal pills, you need to have one of the national masters and I abide by the rank of the emperor..."

He paused his eyes and looked at Miao Zhenzi,

"If I am not here today, I will open the furnace to refine the alchemy. Where is the national master?"

Miao Zhenzi heard that the emperor was coming to him and said hurriedly,

"I was there, but if something happened, I walked away for a moment and then something big happened..."

After saying that, he knelt down,

"Your Majesty, it was because I was negligent and did not discipline my disciples strictly, so I finally broke up the furnace and killed innocent palace servants. I am willing to be punished by Your Majesty!"

He sincerely asked for punishment, but the emperor calmed down and waved his hand.

"As for alchemy... it's common to fry the stove, but this time it's very serious..."

After thinking about it,

"But... the national master must rectify your disciples when he returns, and there must be no next time!"

As he said that, he narrowed his eyes,

"If there is another time, I won't let it go!"

When Jiajing said the word "lightly and rapa", his voice became lighter and lighter. Miao Zhenzi's back tightened when he heard it. He knew that the alchemy room was destroyed too thoroughly this time. If he wanted to build another alchemy room, it would be impossible without two or three months. If it was to start the furnace and refine the alchemy for at least one month, then Emperor Yue could not accept the alchemy for three or four months.

It would be okay to say that the elixir is the next one, but the immortal elixir is extremely difficult to refine. The emperor always refines one piece and eats one piece, and there is no inventory at all. Now that the magical elixir cannot be taken for three or four months, it is inevitable that the emperor will have anger in his heart. He will be killed as soon as he gets angry!

Thinking of this, Miao Zhenzi's heart was thrilled, and he hurriedly leaned down and responded,

"Your Majesty, I will take good care of my subordinates, and there will be no next time!"

"Yeah! Go down!"

The emperor sent Miao Zhenzi down, turned to Lu Bing again, and his face became gloomy again.

"Check it out for me to see why this alchemy room exploded!"

Emperor Jiajing didn't believe Lu Bing's previous statement at all. If you want to know what is in this immortal pill recipe, the emperor knows more than anyone else. How could he not know how much saltpeter sulfur is used?

"Lu Bing..."

Emperor Jiajing's eyes were cold,

"I heard... you are rectifying the Jinyiwei recently?"

"Yes... Your Majesty, the Jinyiwei has been neglecting to practice recently, and many people are tired and lazy in politics. I will deal with them well and never dare to let your kindness down and mislead the state affairs!"

"Um……"

Emperor Jiajing nodded,

"That's true, let me show you how you will achieve the results after the rectification!"

"yes!"

Lu Bing took the order and immediately ordered the leader,

"There are all the palaces near the Danfang, and no one is allowed to enter and exit. Please check it carefully for me!"

In fact, there was no need for Lu Bing to give instructions. After the Jinyiwei entered in the front, he took care of all the people in the nearby palace and closed the scene of the alchemy room, and no longer allowed people to enter and exit.

Pei He, who was in the Nanzhen Fushi, was summoned into the West Garden by someone,

"Grandmaster!"

When Pei He arrived here, he narrowed his eyes when he saw the scene.

"Grandmaster, is this the Danfang exploded?"

Lu Bing nodded and looked at Pei He.

"Doctors and Taoism are not separated. You are a doctor, but you know what is the reason for the explosion in this elixir room?"

Pei He replied,

"When refining alchemy, the alchemy furnace must be completely sealed. The bottom is either low fire or burned with martial arts. Various materials are added to it. Many of them are mutually reinforcing. If there is a slight deviation in weight, it will cause an explosion. This is a common thing in alchemy, but it is the first time that it seems so powerful..."

After saying that, he walked forward slowly and observed the situation in the explosion center, Lu Bing said,

"But you can see what the reason for the explosion is. I asked the little Taoist boy in the alchemy room before, and it is said that it is caused by the addition of too much saltpeter sulfur..."

"Saltpeter, sulfur?"

Pei He's brow frowned,

"This is false!"

This alchemy seeks immortality since the Qin and Han Dynasties has been popular, and it has never stopped. There have been many schools of alchemy in Taoism, and have accumulated a lot of experience. Therefore, no matter what school is used to refine alchemy, it is already known that what will be added to it when refining alchemy. Aren’t it, a national teacher like Miao Zhenzi, is a young Taoist boy who has just entered the school. If he is lucky enough to enter the alchemy room to serve, the first thing his senior brothers taught was what things should not be added to the furnace at will. One bad thing is that the furnace will destroy the furnace and the death of the person. Miao Zhenzi will never make such an entry-level mistake!

What is said that if saltpeter and sulfur are added too much is simply a fool for laymen!

Lu Bing raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

"It seems that Miaomako's people are lying!"

Pei He nodded,

"I'm indeed a lie. If you examine the Taoist boys one by one, you will be able to find out something!"

Lu Bing said,

"I have already taken it to the Beizhen Fushi. I asked you to come to the scene to see it, but can you see something?"

Pei He looked at the answer,

"It should be possible to find some clues, but additional staff is required, and no brick or tile can be spared..."

So Lu Bing kept Pei He and checked it carefully in the West Garden. In fact, the alchemy room had been blown up a long time ago, and the alchemy furnace had long turned into dust. It would be difficult for someone to find something from it, but Pei He was different.

In his previous life, he had been walking in this elixir room a thousand or eight hundred times, and he had been very familiar with it. He knew that there was a secret room under the elixir room of Miao Zhenzi, which was dug out quietly by Miao Zhenzi.

There are many precious medicinal materials and elixirs refined in private. Some of these elixirs and medicinal materials were moved outside the palace and kept privately by Miao Zhenzi, while some were sold outside for high prices. The emperor did not know about these things!

Miao Zhenzi is stealing the emperor’s things!

This time, the Jinyiwei chose the target in this alchemy room. Pei He suggested that he told Lu Bing,

"Grandmaster, the Miaozhenzi Danfang spends tens of thousands of taels a month. If there is nothing strange about it, it is something that everyone doesn't believe. We might as well think of a way to ask His Majesty to send the Jinyiwei to verify it, then..."

After hearing this, Lu Bing sneered and continued,

"At that time... if he has something to do, I can make trouble for him!"

Do you dare to plot against me? Do you really think I am the sick cat?

So, today's alchemy room happened. The Jinyiwei came in and rummaged through the broken bricks and tiles near the alchemy room. Sure enough, he found the secret room hidden underground. He also sentenced all the nearby palace servants and the Taoist boys. There would naturally be a result after three days.

"Your Majesty...please see..."

Lu Bing moved all the things he found to Jiajing.

"The Taoist boy in the elixir room did not say falsehood. He did add more saltpeter and sulfur, but... it was not used to refine His Majesty's elixir..."

Lu Bing handed over the found account book,

"And... I checked the account books entering and leaving the elixir recipe one by one, and then compared the wealth books of the materials entering and leaving the palace, and found it..."

Jiajing sat upright, his face as deep as water. He held the account book in his hand and immediately saw the name. If this emperor said how the food and clothing of ordinary people were consumed every month, he would not know at all, but if he talked about how to refine elixirs, the materials used, and the charcoal burning in this elixir room, he was clear about it, and just glanced at it and saw that the problem was coming.
