Ninth Grade Jailer: He actually went on a blind date with the leader of the Demon Cult at the beginn

Lieutenant Chen's expression was slightly solemn.

He said: Sir, I was on duty at night that day... The thief's magical powers were really powerful, but he seemed to have been severely injured, so he was captured by me. I also interrogated him in private, but the thief was very tough. Therefore, no useful information was obtained.”

After a pause, there was a hint of panic on his face, and he said, I don't know what the thieves stole in the mausoleum. I was also terrified in my heart, so I and a few confidants decided to go deep into the imperial mausoleum to find out. Who would have thought that this is what happened. , something went wrong! There was water seepage in Wenzong’s mausoleum. I asked a few experienced guards to discuss it. I’m afraid that in another half a year, the mausoleum will collapse.

The royal mausoleum, and it is also the mausoleum of the late Emperor Wenzong. Once it collapses, I really don’t know how many heads will fall to the ground.

It is estimated that these three thousand guards will also be buried with them.

Li Nuo also felt that things were serious.

Grave robbing is just a personal act. But if water seeps into the mausoleum, it may not be that simple.

Li Nuo pondered: You said the water seepage in the imperial mausoleum...could it be done intentionally?

Lieutenant Chen broke into a cold sweat on his forehead and said cautiously: I'm not sure about this humble position. Only professionals can come and take a closer look to know the answer.

If the water seepage in the Imperial Tomb was just an accident, that would be fine. Just renovate it, and at most, someone will be charged with poor supervision.

But if it is man-made...

That matter is quite serious!

By then, I don’t know how many people will be implicated.

The construction of Wenzong's mausoleum started thirty years ago and was completed fifteen years ago. It took a full fifteen years in the middle. Not long after the mausoleum was built, Emperor Wenzong died suddenly, and Jingshun stood out among the princes and inherited the throne of the Nine Five Emperors.

Li Nuo believed that this was man-made.

It’s understandable that you’re filling your own pockets.

For such a big project, if you just need to steal some work, cut some materials, or change the pillars, you can return to your hometown and become a rich man in your lifetime.

Li Nuo specifically checked before coming here and found out that the man who supervised the construction of the mausoleum was Xun Qing, a doctor in the Ministry of Industry and Engineering's Restoration Department. He came from a poor family, and he was able to sit in the position of a fourth-rank doctor in the Ministry of Industry and Engineering. It can be seen that he did have two brushes in his hands. But it is a pity that Xion Qing died of illness ten years ago, and there is no news that his family has become rich suddenly.

As for the other participants, Li Nuo hasn't heard any news yet. He only hopes that when the helpers come tomorrow, they can bring good news.

In addition to helping Lao Ma Yao and Da Hei Niu get two military positions of eighth-grade city gate inspection, he also asked Yu Shangshu to bring three people to help.

The first one is currently an officer in charge of the Battalion and Maintenance Department of the Ministry of Works. This person isn't really of much use, but he's good for taking the blame.

The second person is [Fifth Grade Array Master] Qin Fusu. With everyone in this formation present, Li Nuo felt confident.

The third person is Hanlin editor Wang Jincheng. Li Nuo escorted His Royal Highness back to the capital with him, which can be regarded as fighting side by side. Moreover, only Wang Jincheng has the ability to handle the matters he entrusts.

We will conduct a thorough inspection of the tomb tomorrow. Now, take me to see the thief who ate the bear's heart and the leopard. I want to take a closer look. He even dares to steal the imperial mausoleum. Who is this?

Li Nuo ordered.

I humble my duty and obey my orders.

Lieutenant Chen led the way and soon came to the secret room where the thieves were imprisoned.

The thief was chained up and looked embarrassed, but there were no injuries on his body.

Captain Chen knew that this matter was very important, so he did not serve him with severe punishment to avoid being caught.

Unlocking the door, he reminded: Young master, please be careful. I always feel that the thief is a little weird.

Li Nuo was curious: What kind of weird method?

Lieutenant Chen looked a little unnatural and said: He was obviously caught by Beizhi, but he was as arrogant as if he was destined for Beizhi. And every time Beizhi saw him, he always felt uncomfortable. His eyes seemed to be able to eat people. .”

You stay outside and don't let anyone in. I'll go meet him for a while.

Li Nuo opened the secret room door and walked in.

The thief noticed immediately and raised his head suddenly, but when he saw Li Nuo's face clearly, a trace of greed flashed across his face, but he quickly hid it.

Who did I know? It turned out to be you, Li Zian!

The hoarse voice sounded, making people very uncomfortable.

Li Nuo was reminded by Colonel Chen, so when he stepped into the secret room, he completely let go of his perception, and instantly caught the thief's strange appearance.

However, he did not expose it and pretended that he had not discovered it.

Now that you know who I am, tell me. As long as you satisfy me, it won't be difficult to save your life.

Li Nuo kept his face calm and deceived without his heart beating.

The man grinned and said excitedly: Hey, I really didn't expect that I would fall into the hands of the famous Li Zian. It's not unfair.

Li Nuo said indifferently: Don't talk nonsense.

The man sighed and said: There is a treasure suppressed in Wenzong's tomb. If I take it, I will be able to enter the martial arts [third-grade Vajra Indestructible Realm]. It's a pity, it turns out that this is a scam, and I was deceived miserably. If I hadn't been in the trap, Come on, just three thousand guards, how can they capture me!

Li Nuo nodded calmly.

This man's cultivation level should be at [the peak of the fourth level], but at this time his aura was slightly disordered, and there seemed to be something wrong with his body, and his level dropped to the [sixth level].

If not, Colonel Chen and the three thousand guards would have become dead souls under his sword.

Huh.

wrong!

Li Nuo noticed the man's palm.

There are calluses on both palms!

Of course there are many swordsmen who practice double swords in the world, but the one in front of him is obviously different.

Using a sword and using a knife are completely different things.

The knife is more used for cutting, while the sword is used for thrusting. The calluses formed on the hands are naturally different.

Therefore, what this man said... is half true and half false!

Where did you hear this news?

Li Nuo asked.

The man gritted his teeth, and there was a trace of anger in his eyes: Originally, I thought this was just a rumor, but one night, I sneaked into the palace, intending to steal some money, but unexpectedly I heard someone discussing in a palace When this happened, I believed it to be true! It’s just that I’m too naive!”

Li Nuo frowned slightly: Which palace?

A fourth-level expert went to the palace to steal money?

I'm just afraid that stealing money is fake, but stealing treasures is real.

The man shook his head and said disappointedly: I can't remember.

You are quite brave, you even dare to break into the palace.

Li Nuo smiled.

The man snorted coldly: Humph, I have learned a secret technique that is unpredictable by ghosts and gods. Even the third-level eunuch who sneaks into the palace may not be able to discover me. But now that I think about it, this is definitely a big conspiracy. ! I will never forget that voice, it’s the voice of a young woman!”

Li Nuo said calmly: The women in the palace are either maids or concubines. And the one who can mention this matter has a good background and should be one of His Majesty's concubines.

That's not clear.

The man shook his head.

Why did you tell me this?

Li Nuo asked curiously.

The man said seriously: Because I believe in you and Li Zian's character. As long as I tell you everything, you will save my life, right?

Li Nuo nodded: Okay.

The man smiled happily and said: Then you come closer, I will tell you a shocking secret found in Wenzong's tomb, and I guarantee that you can exchange it with the emperor for more glory and wealth than you can spend in your lifetime!

Oh? What kind of shocking method?

Li Nuo smiled and approached the man.

Hey, I used my secret skills to sneak into the ground, and I dug up Wenzong's tomb, but inside this coffin...

how?

Li Nuo said anxiously.

Seeing that Li Nuo took the bait so easily, the man's lips curled up with a hint of ridicule, It turned out to be...empty!

The words have not yet fallen.

There was a strange light in the man's eyes, which seemed to be captivating.

Li Nuo suddenly fell into a sluggish state.

But the man's spirit left his body and he actually wanted to take away Li Nuo!
