Chapter 176

  After returning from Deng Fei's house, all the people in the Hejing county government are ready to go, and they can go to the Fangchuan Waterway Labyrinth just waiting for Wei Jinghan to issue an order.

Fang Linghui wandered around the suit, very excited, but Fang Lingfeng had no good looks. Seeing Chu Xiaoyun come back, he said bluntly: "My sister is a girl, why did you bring her here for a blind date?"

Chu Xiaoyun was very wronged: "It was clearly promised by His Majesty."

Fang Lingfeng sneered: "You can play tricks, who would still be so clever?" It's impossible to go to the emperor to verify it."

Chu Xiaoyun was puzzled: "Actually, your sister is very capable. Last time we brought down the magistrate's faction, it's not thanks to her sending troops to the garrison?"

Fang Lingfeng glanced at him coldly: "Childish !"

Then he stopped talking, and Chu Xiaoyun was at a loss.

When the troops from the Hejing County Government arrived at the Fangchuan Waterway, the Fangchuan County Government had already received the news of their search and the people from the Six Gates had arrived at the Fangchuan Waterway ahead of schedule. The men and horses of the Jing County Government gathered together to uncover the mystery of the maze of the Fangchuan Waterway.

Wei Jinghan and Chu Xiaoyun led a group of people from Hejing County Yamen to Fangchuan Waterway, and joined the people from Fangchuan County Yamen and Six Gates who were waiting there. Chu Xiaoyun took out the map, raised his eyes to look at the sun, and determined the position of the sun; then he ordered the servants to erect a tall mast on the bank and tie a flag to identify the direction. Then according to the fixed marks on the shore, compare the map to identify the position.

After doing the basic work well, and then comparing the map and the real scene with everyone, they quickly found the entrance to the underground palace. It is in the widest patch of reeds on the water surface of Fangchuan Waterway. According to the indication on the map, some of the reeds in this vast water area are natural, while others have been artificially modified and can be moved.

The movable reeds and their hidden organs are also marked on the map.

According to the markings on the map, everyone found the movable reeds and hung red ribbons, and found the mechanism hidden in the water to move the reeds, and corresponded one by one. After the preparations are done, press the switch to remove the reeds, and the water suddenly becomes wider and brighter.

In the process of removing the reeds, it was also found that some organs failed. After investigation, the reeds in the malfunctioning part of the mechanism are relatively hidden and difficult to be found, and the reeds in the malfunctioning part have traces of being excavated. After analysis, Chu Xiaoyun, Jie Xun and others agreed that these destroyed The organs and reeds should be caused by the later discoverers who did not find the corresponding organs and wanted to move the reeds by brute force.

But the reeds that were destroyed by the organs have not been moved. After analysis, Chu Xiaoyun believed that these reeds were connected to the underground palace, and if they were suddenly destroyed, it might cause the underground palace to collapse, so the people who discovered the underground palace later stopped further damage.

Xie Xun also agreed.

Because it was covered by the reeds that destroyed the mechanism, the entrance of the underground palace was not completely displayed after moving the mechanism, but the wide and deep appearance of the entrance was still revealed to everyone.

In Chu Xiaoyun's mind, he removed the cluster of reeds that blocked the entrance of the underground palace due to the damage of the mechanism. This entrance to the underground palace is perfect.

Looking at the removed reeds, they did not move randomly, but moved in an arc, which happened to cover all the boats at anchor without leaving any traces. Even if someone occasionally trespassed into the waters, it was difficult to find these ships covered by reeds. If the owner of the secret of this underground palace wants to use this underground palace to hide something, it is really difficult for ordinary people to find out.

It has to be said that the layout of the underground palace and the setting of organs are really high. Chu Xiaoyun admired the designer and builder of this underground palace from the bottom of his heart. I remembered that although this map was owned by Zhang Cheng, but Zhang Cheng was dead, but the fleet of fake Gu Qingyun was able to pass through this waterway smoothly, and finally lost its trace, making it impossible for the court to trace. Presumably this fake Gu Qingyun should have also discovered the secret of this underground palace, so he stored the pig iron collected through the Gu family on weekdays here, and then found the right time to smuggle the situation.

It's just that I don't know how these two people met before Zhang Cheng was alive. Is it possible that they shared this underground palace when Zhang Cheng was alive?

When the entrance of the underground palace was finally revealed to everyone, those yamen servants and Fangchuan county yamen officials who had never been involved in the wife-grabbing case and didn't know the secrets of it all showed shocked expressions and let out cries of surprise. Chu Xiaoyun looked at the entrance of the underground palace, and together with Jie Xun, he directed the yamen servants and the arresters to light the torches in their hands, got off the boat one by one, and entered one by one.

Going down from the entrance, there is a wide space. After walking for a while, I found that there are still hidden caves on the left and right, which are indeed as complicated as drawn in the picture. Fortunately, there is a map in hand, and before coming here, it has been expanded many times. Chu Xiaoyun and Xie Xun distributed the map to the police officers in charge, and ordered them to lead people to separate operations to investigate the situation in the underground palace.

After half an hour, all the Yamen servants reported back. According to the report of the yamen servants and the personal investigation by Chu Xiaoyun and others, the useful things in the underground palace have been swept away. But based on the items left behind, Chu Xiaoyun can still make a judgment. This place used to be a storage place for pig iron, and some items even have the logo of the Gu family on them. It is no doubt that Gu Qingyun discovered and used this underground palace.

Pretending that Gu Qingyun used this as a base to think that Hu Guo's transfer of pig iron is no longer just speculation by everyone, but has substantial evidence.

Standing in front of a pile of useless clutter, looking at the empty underground palace, Chu Xiaoyun couldn't help being disappointed after being delighted.

Could it be that I am one step too late?

Jie Xun, Wei Jinghan, and Fangchuan county magistrate came over together. Fangchuan county magistrate said, "The secret of how the Hu people smuggled pig iron out of the country has been solved, but these have already been guessed. Now we seem to be late again." One step, they failed to intercept the pig iron they collected, and failed to discover the identity of this barbarian."

Xie Xun said: "Maybe not necessarily, it should not be so simple to spend so much effort to build or operate such a hidden underground palace."

Wei Jinghan also said: "The lower officials also feel the same way."

Fangchuan County Magistrate said: "The two adults of the client have also seen that this underground palace is now empty."

At this time, Chu Xiaoyun, who had been in a daze until now, suddenly realized: "Yes, Mr. Xie is right. The underground palace that took so much effort to operate , it's impossible to be so useful. Do you know why this Fangchuan waterway caused the compass to fail? Could it be related to this underground palace? But why is that fake Gu Qingyun able to grasp the direction and sail safely? This underground palace must be There are still secrets."

"And, this time we came here, the subordinates found that the influence of the Fangchuan waterway maze on the compass has been weakened. Although it is not obvious, it is a real phenomenon. What caused this phenomenon? Appear? I have seen in "Strange Records" that pig iron is a magnetic ore, and the magnetic force it produces just collides with the compass we use to guide the way." "If a large amount of pig iron ore is buried in a place,

he It is not impossible that the emitted magnetic force will cause the compass to fail. Then the influence of the Fangchuan waterway maze on the compass has been weakened this time. Is it possible that Gu Qingyun transported a large amount of pig iron from the underground palace? But the maze still has no effect on the compass. There is a strong influence, can it be judged that there is already a large amount of pig iron ore in the vicinity?" "

Then there are only two situations, one is that the soil layer near the underground palace contains pig iron; the other is that there are still many hidden here pig iron."
