Chapter 656: The Secret of the Moat (24)

All officials were well versed in the officialdom and went up to greet the Dragon Star Map. Regardless of whether the official rank was above the Dragon Star Map, they were all polite and humble, and were harmonious, especially the people from the Ministry of Justice, who bowed down and smiled all over their faces, and praised the Dragon Star Map to the sky with a casual word.

Long Xingtu responded calmly, but he felt extremely dissatisfied. Du Mingcheng was about to take over as the Minister of Justice. As Du Mingcheng's confidant, these people rushed to please her.

However, there is one exception, that is Mr. Zhao.

Originally, the Minister of Justice Zhao had the highest call, and all the civil and military officials thought that the Minister of Justice, the fat man of Justice Zhao must be the one in his pocket. Even the father and son of Anguo also submitted a memorial to recommend Mr. Zhao. Who would have thought that the old emperor unexpectedly suddenly summoned Du Mingcheng to be promoted ten levels, and went from a seventh-rank county magistrate to become a second-rank official in the court!

In this case, there are naturally those who are dissatisfied with each other. Yan Jing's party was even more jealous and indignant. Two of the three courts of the court fell on their opponents, and the remaining one was the supervisory department, which was the supervisory department directly belonged to the emperor. The left and right censors were only loyal to the emperor and always remained neutral in the disputes between the two factions. Therefore, Yan's party lost the protection of the court's office, how could he not be afraid?

After a few days of separation, we met again and it was such a situation. Mr. Zhao looked at the energetic dragon star map, feeling complicated and mixed emotions in his heart.

"Mr. Zhao, what clues have the Ministry of Justice currently mastered? Can you report it to one or two?" Long Xingtu took the initiative to break the deadlock, his words and deeds were as usual, neither humble nor arrogant, and his wind and clouds were calm.

Mr. Zhao regained his thoughts and said seriously: "On the second hour of the night when the incident happened, many soldiers guarding the city witnessed with their own eyes that several flames suddenly floated in the western section of the moat, including blue and yellow, and a stinking smell dissipated with the wind, which was disgusting! Many things like flocculents moved quickly along the river section, and at first glance, they looked a little smaller, but when they were closer, they became huge like a cow, gradually turning into transparent, swallowing everything around them! After that, the same situation occurred every night for four consecutive days, but the time was uncertain, either one hour in advance or half an hour afterwards. According to the witness's description, the Imperial Hospital inspected the aquatic plants and water quality in the crime site and found some situations."

Speaking of this, Mr. Zhao turned his head and said, "Doctor Li, please say it."

"yes!"

Doctor Li left the list and bowed: "Master Long, after repeated inspections, we found Glauber's salt and sulphur in the grass by the river. Glauber's salt burned in the flames and the flames turned yellow; sulphur flaming is easy to melt when burned, and it will release a irritating odor. As for another strange phenomenon, it should be caused by borax. Borax is soluble in cold water and easily soluble in hot water. When burned, it is easy to melt. At first, it will expand and loose as flocs, and then melt into transparent balls."

After speaking, Doctor Li submitted a file, "This is the result of consultation and demonstration by all Imperial Hospital doctors. Please check it out."

Zhou Yun added: "It's just a pity that the officers and soldiers squatted day and night and never caught any suspicious person. It seemed that there was an odd sight out of thin air and never saw a figure."

The Longxing Map received the file, read it carefully, and then turned to look at Li Yanzhou, who was in a quiet and quiet manner. She intended to ease the relationship and asked, "Sir Li, what do you think?"
