Signing in to Datang: Rebellion at the beginning

Chapter 194 Personal investigation
Facing Li Ke's question, the factory supervisor didn't know how to answer it, because no matter how he answered it, a problem would eventually be exposed, that is, he was lying!

Li Ke knew that he had answered all the questions, so he fixed his eyes on the eunuch, and at the same time released the appropriate amount of aura on his body, and pressed towards the eunuch.

The eunuch felt the coercion of Li Ke, and the cold sweat quickly oozed from his body.

But after much deliberation, it was difficult to think of any excuse for a while.

Seeing him like this, Li Ke gave a cold drink and said:
"What happened to the explosion at the gunpowder factory?"

The faces of the eunuchs all turned pale. With his appearance, no matter how you look at it, you can tell that there is something wrong with him.

So Li Ke stood up, walked up to the eunuch and factory supervisor, and said:
"I will give you one last chance to answer my question!"

The eunuch and factory supervisor trembled a little. Few people in this world could resist the momentum released by Li Ke.

Because he is a powerful warrior, but also a scribe with not weak talent.

If he transforms these two forces into momentum and oppresses a person, then this person must be very unbearable.

Because, the kind of fear that comes from the heart can easily completely overwhelm a person.

Today's eunuch is resisting such pressure, he is afraid, he is afraid, he has never been so afraid before.

Even in the face of cruel torture, he felt that he could bear it, but the fear of facing Li Ke came from the soul!

Finally, he couldn't stand it any longer. He lay down on the ground in an instant, and said in a trembling voice:

"The slave is guilty, the slave is willing to plead guilty..."

Li Ke took a deep breath and said lightly:
"Speak!"

The eunuch tried hard to stabilize his mind, and then he said:

"The case of the gunpowder factory explosion is indeed a bit strange. The servant suppressed this matter, fearing that it would become a big problem, so he dealt with it hastily, and directly let the woman's husband take the blame.

But I was also worried that she would make this matter a big deal, and that she would bring the matter to His Majesty.Fearing that His Majesty would investigate this matter further, he bribed the commander of the guards at the palace gate.This is the truth, please forgive me, Your Majesty. "

Hearing this, Li Ke frowned slightly, then shook his head and said:
"No, your explanation can't be very strong, and you haven't explained your 1 taels of silver yet!"

The eunuch hurriedly said: "This slave is guilty, and I also embezzled some in the gunpowder factory, but I can swear that the embezzled silver is only more than 1 taels of silver, please Your Majesty look into it!"

Hearing this, Li Ke smiled:

"You are still fooling me like a three-year-old child, do you think I will believe your nonsense?
If you embezzled more than 1 taels of silver, are you willing to spend 1 taels of silver to bribe others?what do you think?

Also, the explosion of the gunpowder factory, no matter what, the imperial court and I will definitely know about it.But you choose to find someone to take the blame?

What is the logic?Can't the case be investigated clearly?Why do you have to beat around the bush?This is unreasonable!
The really reasonable logic should be that the gunpowder factory exploded, and there was some ulterior secret, and you didn't want others to know this secret.

So, you randomly found a factory worker to take the blame, deliberately wronged him, and said that it was because of him that the small warehouse of the gunpowder factory exploded.

In doing so, although you can fool the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple, you are still worried that the court will continue to investigate.

That's why you took out 1 taels of silver and bribed the commander of the guards at the palace gate to help you. Don't let anyone who comes to sue the gunpowder factory enter the palace to file a complaint, right? "

Li Ke's words are clear, the reasoning is very clear, and it is very reasonable from beginning to end.

Of course, these so-called reasonableness must be based on the specific secret of the gunpowder factory explosion,

It depends on whether the secret is really big enough.

If the secret wasn't big enough, then it wasn't big enough to support this line of reasoning.

But after Li Ke's words fell, the factory supervisor's expression was shocked.

Obviously, some of Li Ke's words really touched him.

And this also made Li Ke more confident that his guess was right.

So he stared at the eunuch and said:

"Tell me, what happened to the explosion in the small warehouse of the gunpowder factory?"

The eunuch and factory supervisor turned pale, shook his head and said:

"No... no secrets..."

Li Ke's eyes became more fierce:
"You'd better be honest, otherwise, I will make you regret it."

Hearing these cold words, the eunuch was frightened out of his wits.

In Longguo, no one is not afraid of Li Ke.

Because all of this was miraculously created by Li Ke.

In the eyes of everyone, Li Ke is like a god. He is mysterious and powerful.

He can solve everything and destroy all enemies.

These labels are daunting on Li Ke.

And the eunuch in front of him was naturally very afraid of Li Ke.

He is indeed loyal to Li Ke, but it doesn't mean he won't do some bad things.

After Li Ke's few words fell, the eunuch completely collapsed, and his whole body collapsed on the ground, and under the tremendous pressure, he opened his mouth and said:

"Slave...slave...just...capital crime...the gunpowder...factory exploded. It was the slave...that did it, please majesty...kill the slave..."

Li Ke narrowed his eyes, and the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice and the Minister of Dali Temple were also stunned for an instant.

They never expected that the explosion in the gunpowder factory was actually caused by the factory himself.

Li Ke stared at the eunuch and said:

"Why are you doing this?"

The factory superintendent and eunuch lay on the ground, unwilling to say anything.

Li Ke asked him many times, but he still didn't say anything, just lying on the ground trembling, terrified.

Obviously, his spirit has been completely crushed by Li Ke.

Seeing his appearance, Li Ke probably understood that it was difficult to ask any more questions.

Even if you continue to ask, it may drive him into a psychopath.

So Li Ke sighed, waved his hand, and asked the guards to put him in the dungeon. Li Ke wanted to personally intervene to investigate this matter.

All of this was watched by Cheng Yaojin and Cheng Chumo who were silent on the side.

They were shocked by Li Ke's methods and admired Li Ke's ability. At the same time, they made up their minds to follow the emperor to do a good job.

Li Ke took Cheng Yaojin and Cheng Chumo, as well as the Minister of the Ministry of Justice and Dali Siqing, and drove directly to the gunpowder factory.

It was already afternoon when we arrived at the gunpowder factory.

I went to take a look at the small warehouse where the explosion occurred. The small warehouse is about the size of a house, and the gunpowder that can be stored in it should be at least several thousand kilograms.

According to the director of the gunpowder factory:

"This small warehouse should store [-] kilograms of gunpowder."

Li Ke frowned: "Should?"

The master replied: "It is not very clear how much gunpowder is inside, because at that time, it was being transported inside.

According to calculations, the gunpowder factory lost [-] kilograms of gunpowder, so it is roughly estimated that [-] kilograms of it exploded. "

Li Ke looked around, and the power of the explosion didn't seem to be great, it just spread three to forty meters.

So he shook his head:
"No, this is by no means the power of a [-]-kilo bomb explosion. If it really exploded with [-] kilograms of gunpowder, at least half of the gunpowder factory would be gone."
