Chapter 181
The Yamen of the Ministry of Industry and the government office.

In the lobby of the Ministry of Industry, Xiao Yi was sorting out the list of paperwork.

He has now taken over the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and the documents of more than ten yamen have been accumulated here for more than ten years.

Almost took up the entire room.

With the blessing of literary courage and literary spirit, Xiao Yi was browsing through the list of documents at a glance.

The current affairs of the Ministry of Industry are quite urgent.

On the one hand, the Great Qin court is still confronting the vassals.

The logistics resources and supplies controlled by the Ministry of Industry played a decisive role in the outcome of this battle.

Another aspect.

Both Xiao Yi and the empress discovered that there was another hidden story behind the embezzlement case of the Ministry of Industry.

Apart from Wu Xun and those forces responsible for transporting and selling stolen goods, there are other people lurking inside.

I'm afraid these cases are not that simple.

As for this point, Xiao Yi also had his own understanding.

At that time, he used Yin Shendao to communicate with the craftsman Xiaoyugan who was built into the wall, and experienced the horrifying memory pictures before his death.

It can be learned that.

Xiao Yugan was controlled by someone with a spell, walked into the wall by himself, and was smothered to death by being built into the wall.

But now.

The murderer has not been found yet, and there is no reason to find it.

"What went wrong?"

Xiao Yi quickly rummaged through the documents, trying to find some clues, while thinking seriously in his mind.

At the beginning, Xiao Yi thought that the murderer was some unknown strongman among Wu Xun.

Or have learned some weird magical powers.

However, all the Wu Xun involved in the case behind the Ministry of Industry were dug out.

Those Wu Xun who really committed crimes have now betrayed the imperial court and defected to various feudal lords and forces.

And according to his investigation.

None of the group of warriors had the kind of weird supernatural powers that could control people's hearts and integrate people into the wall.

"In the first year of Shenwu, three deacons of Tuntian Division disappeared."

"Two servants of Gongzao government are missing."

"If I remember correctly, the bones of the three deacons of the Tuntian Division were just dug out from the wall of the Buzao Division."

Xiao Yi talked to himself for a while, then looked up at the busy officials beside him.

"You write down the names of the three missing persons. They are one of the bones dug out of the Buzaosi wall."

The official next to him took the document with a pale face, the hand that picked up the writing brush trembled slightly, and wrote down the names of the three people.

Others present also recalled that the faces of the bones dug up in the Ministry of Industry were all pale and the corners of their mouths twitched.

After verification and statistics.

More than 300 corpses were dug up in more than a dozen workshops in the Ministry of Industry.

All were built into the walls alive.

And those Ministry of Industry officials, deacons and craftsmen who knew the news were all terrified.

None of them could have imagined that so many dead people were buried in the walls of the Ministry of Industry!
Thinking of those densely packed corpses, they all felt chills down their spines and trembled with fear.

Fortunately, I didn't notice anything wrong before, otherwise they would have become one of them.

"Fortunately, Mr. Xiao was here, and dug up this case from the Ministry of Industry in time. Otherwise, if we work in the Ministry of Industry, I'm afraid we will..."

Some said with trembling lips.

When the others heard this, they looked at Xiao Yi behind the desk with gratitude in their eyes.

Xiao Yi waved his hand.

"Since I am in this position, I will do what I should do."

"Besides, this matter is not over yet."

"Although we dug out all those martial arts, there are other secrets behind the Ministry of Industry."

When everyone heard this, their pupils shrank.

Someone couldn't help but look around every corner of the workshop, fearing that one or two ghosts would come out, and then began to guess whether there were still corpses buried in those walls.

"Xiao, Mr. Xiao, what is an unknown secret?"

"Haven't those warriors already admitted that they did this? Didn't they all go to the various vassal kings?"

"Master Xiao means that the Ministry of Industry still has inside information about the case?"

"I think so too. You see, these people are built into the walls."

"Besides, there are too many people during the day and it can't be done. It takes only one night to dig out the walls, put people in, and then restore everything to its original state."

"It's not a craftsman with many years of experience, I'm afraid I can't do it."

"Then should we also investigate the craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry? There should not be many craftsmen with this ability."

In the entire lobby, the officials who were sorting out all put down their work and began to talk about it.

Xiao Yi checked the memories of those deceased through the strange supernatural power of Yin Shendao.

So he knew that those corpses were not built into the wall.

Rather, someone manipulated them and cast something on the wall.

Let those people go directly into the wall and suffocate to death.

But these people from the Ministry of Industry do not have supernatural powers like Yin Shen Dao.

So they will inevitably think that someone dug up the wall in advance, then built people in, and finally restored the wall to its original shape.

The former is a person who can practice strange and supernatural powers.

The latter is just a skilled craftsman.

In other words, according to Xiao Yi's analysis.

There is at least one unknown cultivator hidden in the Ministry of Industry, who possesses such a strange and powerful method.

Maybe he has the ability to make himself die successfully!

Xiao Yi quickly rummaged through the list of documents in his hand while thinking carefully.

There was a look of expectation in his eyes.

Sensing the gazes of the surrounding officials, Xiao Yi spoke.

"If you originally wanted to kill people and silence them, just drag them into the wilderness, dig a hole and bury them."

"If you want to make a person disappear, there are various methods."

"Why did they purposely cut open the wall and put people in it?"

Xiao Yi's words shocked them all.

You are right!
Originally, destroying corpses and eradicating traces didn't have to be so troublesome!
At most, in order not to leave traces, people are crushed to ashes, or they are buried in a place where there is no one.

Why put people in walls?
Isn't this asking for trouble?

If people found out when doing it, wouldn't it be even more difficult to hide it?

Xiao Yi is now the minister of the Ministry of Industry.

And those who can work under Shang Shu's hands are more clever.

They are also aware of this matter, afraid that there is something inside!
Several people glanced at each other and stopped talking.

When Xiao Yi wanted to study this case further.

There was a rush of footsteps outside the lobby.

An official ran up to Xiao Yi with an ashen face.

"Lord Xiao, something happened!"

Xiao Yi looked at him in confusion, and said.

"What happened?"

The official replied with a stammering tone.

"The head of Medicine King Valley, Gu Yan, is now staying in the Ministry of Rites."

"Someone in Lord Jinghou's family was seriously ill, so he sent someone to seek medical treatment."

"That old saying took the opportunity to make a lot of demands!"

"What kind of autumn harvest dew do you want, the milkstone in the stalactite cave, the snow lotus seeds from Tiantian Mountain, and some rare things."

"Those things are all first-class items of the Ministry of Industry and should not be used lightly."

"But now Lord Jinghou has sent someone to pick it up, and his subordinates don't know what to do with it, so they can only come and ask Lord Shangshu."

Xiao Yi immediately understood.

That old saying, as the head of the immortal sect who was captured alive, he dared to be so arrogant and domineering.

He was about to have an attack, and asked after thinking for a while.

"Then who is Lord Jinghou?"

An officer next to him replied.

"Lord Xiao, Lord Jinghou is a title, and the surname of Lord Jinghou is Li!"

"They are the Majesty's mother's family!"

When Xiao Yi heard this, he became interested.

The empress' mother's family?
Assist the head of Xianmen to fight against the imperial court together?
