Chapter 475 Death in Vain
The "Ma San Case" was completely settled, but the follow-up still left a tail, and even a key piece of information was not copied to Shen Hao in the end. That is the result of Xu Hong's final interrogation.
At that time, because Shen Hao couldn't understand the method of torturing the youngest son of the Xu family to force Xu Hong to speak, he chose to avoid it, and Jiang Cheng agreed, but the result of Xu Hong's interrogation was gone.
When Shen Hao handed in the rubbings of the closing document before, he still left a blank on it, thinking that Jiang Cheng would see and fill it up, but Jiang Cheng just ignored it and didn't even mention it.
There are two possibilities. Either Jiang Cheng had a problem with Shen Hao's benevolence and took the opportunity to beat him. Either Xu Hong recruited, and the recruited things were not suitable for people in Shen Hao's position to know, and they were not even suitable for inclusion in the dossier.
The previous one may have been directly rejected by Shen Hao without much thought. Jiang Cheng's character is very clear to him after following him for so long. It belongs to the kind of honest and straightforward character, especially he never hides from his own people.
So Shen Hao thought that Jiang Cheng didn't mention Xu Hong's interrogation again. It should be that Xu Hong didn't resist the forced torture and was recruited, and he was not qualified to know.
After lunch in the dining hall at noon, Shen Hao received the rubbings sent by Wang Jian, which recorded the daily trajectory of the luthier named Fu Ji in the imperial city and almost all the information that could be obtained on the bright side.
As Wang Jian said before, it seems that this luthier has no special activities. Either stay at home, or teach apprentices in the piano house, or go to perform in the red walls of various high schools. The only thing that made Shen Hao pay more attention was that this person's income from each performance was definitely not worse than that of some small and medium-sized businesses, and most people would definitely not believe it.
Daily progress? This can be regarded as looking down on the violinist.
Of course, this information is only obtained so far, and there may be new discoveries after Wang Jian increases his intelligence investment in this area, so we need to continue to pay attention.
Before he left for work, Shen Hao got up and left the Qianhu Office, and went to the imperial city. He didn't see Jiang Cheng, but reported an application document for inspection authority through Jiang Cheng's adjutant, and came to Jingcheng after getting approval. The library of Fushi Yamen in Xizhen.
"Pad and certificate."
"for you."
Compared with the library building of the Qianhu Office in Fengri City, the library building of the Fushi Yamen in Jingxi Town is several times larger, and it can really be called a "building". There are three floors above, thousands of bookshelves, and the underground is said to be There are two floors, also nearly a thousand bookshelves. It covers almost most of the documents and materials in the Jingjiu Dynasty. There are also many materials here that even involve the army and local yamen.
There are a lot of things that are not found in the library of Fengri City but can be found here.
Shen Hao came to ask before, but with his current title and position, he was not qualified to inspect it, unless he got a temporary permission from Jiang Cheng, the governor of the town. This time, Shen Hao obtained a license from Jiang Cheng on the grounds of "digging into the origins of the fake and evil monks".
"Okay, Shen Baihu, this is your temporary permission card, you go in with it, and then show it to the person in the second library. But your temporary permission is only for two hours, please be sure to pay attention to the time."
"Okay." Shen Hao took a bronze medal engraved with formation patterns, and then went down the stairs on the left side of the library hall to the second basement.
After finding "Yiku" and handing over the bronze medal, he was allowed to enter.
"Master Shen, may I ask what kind of copy do you want to check?"
"I want to check the information about the city of death, everything."
"Master Shen, please wait a moment, let me check your credentials." After a while, the little banner officer of Yiku went on to say: "I'm sorry, Master Shen, your temporary authority can only check about 70% of the information related to the city of death. Copywriting, the rest require additional permission. Do you still want to read it?"
Shen Hao was really surprised, he didn't expect that the copybook of the City of Death would be so troublesome.
"It depends, you first bring me all the copybooks within the scope of my permission."
"Alright Mr. Shen, please wait a moment."
Even if Shen Hao didn't show his badge, most of the people in the yamen of Jingxi Governor knew him and treated him very well. He even poured him a cup of hot tea and put it on the table.
After waiting for about half a stick of incense, Shen Hao saw the little flag officer managed by Yiku coming over with a large pile of copybooks.
"Master Shen, here are all the documents about the city of the dead that can be consulted in your temporary permission. There are 17 copies in total. This is a list. In addition, these are top-secret documents. They can only be viewed and cannot be rubbed. Please remember, my lord. Finally, your inspection time is two hours, and I will notify you when the time is approaching."
"Well, I see."
There are much more things than Shen Hao thought before.
After looking at the list first, the seventeen copybooks were roughly divided into three categories. One is about the origin of the city of death in vain, the other is about the situation around the city of death in vain, and the other is about various things in the city of death in vain.
Hurry up and read about the origin of the city of death first, this part has the least copy.
The source of the information was marked in the copybook, which was gradually passed back from Xuan Qingwei's spies over the years from the City of Death.
According to the information on the file, the city of the dead was originally a group of ancient tombs. It was first recorded that a group of wandering monks discovered it more than 1,200 years ago and gained great benefits from it. Prescriptions, instruments, etc., and even some medicinal materials that were extinct at that time.
Naturally, such a precious place cannot be covered by paper, and the news spread quickly, from the super sects to the general casual cultivators, and groups rushed there.
According to their own strength and the confidence of the forces behind them, the people who rushed over were either ready to drink soup, or to eat meat, and of course, there were also those who were ready to pick up leaks or just watch the excitement.
However, after the initial benefits were divided up by various forces, the ancient tombs became a deadly place that cannibalize people without spit out bones. A large number of monks who tasted the sweetness did not leave but prepared to dig deeper. Among the tombs, there were heavy casualties. But there were also some powerful monks who rushed out from there, bringing out some news about the depths of the ancient tombs.
It is said that there is an extremely huge underground palace under the ancient tombs, which is shrouded by an unknown powerful magic circle. After entering, you will encounter a terrifying array of killings and a large number of magical weapons and puppets. There are even extremely powerful magic circles inside. True pressure suppresses people's strength.
Dangerousness is accompanied by opportunities. The tombs on the outside are already very fruitful, not to mention the underground palace in the depths? As a result, various forces have fought openly and secretly for hundreds of years around the ancient tombs and the underground palaces deeper than the ancient tombs. Finally, under the constraints of all parties, a deformed local force was born: the dead city.
Moreover, the local forces grew rapidly. In the next few hundred years, the city of dead dead not only confirmed its dominance around the ancient tombs, but also minimized the influence of all forces here, only retaining the continuous power of all forces. Enter the allotted quota for the ancient tomb below and the deeper underground palace.
