Datang: Father, are you teaching me how to do things?

Chapter 160 Night, Mysterious Man!
Under the dim light, the finely carved beams and thick pillars in the official office look simple and quiet.

During the special period, the officials who stay in the government office will not leave and live here on the spot.

Li Zhi sneaked in secretly, looking around with flexible eyes.

He was looking for the person in the portrait.

After looking at the door plate, this is the Ministry of Industry.

In Nuoda's room, not counting the bright candlelight, there were only three or five people sitting on the floor, with a planning table in front of each of them.

There are unfinished official documents today.

"It's hard work..."

Li Zhi hid on the beam and took a peek, it wasn't these people.

He moves on to the next place.

Although six departments are mentioned, there must be more than six departments in the entire government office.

Not to mention that the six ministries are also subdivided into many departments. In addition to the six ministries, there are also Secretary Supervisor, Yushitai, Dali Temple and so on.

Li Zhi's task tonight is not easy, and he has no idea of ​​which departments to target specifically.

Really any department is possible!
Now there is no such thing as keeping the news secret. The senior officials of various departments chat and say everything.

Even if the Ministry of Civil Affairs is in charge of the accounts, they may know everything about the Ministry of War... Li Zhi felt that after this incident, all departments must be vigilant!

You can't talk about things in the department outside!Who knows whether the heart on the opposite side of the belly is red or black!

Clouds gradually floated over the originally bright moonlight, covering most of it.

Li Zhi has already left the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Officials, but he has not gained anything yet.

On the same beam, a figure suddenly fell from the opposite darkness, Li Zhi was stunned, and for a while, the two looked at each other speechlessly.

Is the imperial palace really so lively at night...

Li Zhi was shocked, this was not the first time he encountered such a situation!

"who are you?"

On the other hand, the person on the other side was taken aback first, with an exaggerated expression, and questioned Li Zhi first.

Li Zhi looked at the other party, he was a kind-looking man with a black satchel on his back, although he was in plain clothes, he was dressed in dark colors all over his body.

Li Zhi faintly felt a little familiar, but this was nonsense, he must have never seen this person before.

"Who are you?" Li Zhi asked him back with an unkind expression.

No matter how you look at it, it is more likely that the opposite party is plotting something wrong, how old is he!

The man looked at Li Zhi in astonishment, explaining, but also self-consciously saying, "You are such a little guy, are you the family member of that official? Why are you so naughty and sneak like others!"
I am the head of the Ministry of War, so going forward in the dark is naturally very important! "

Li Zhi did not deny the other party's guess, nodded, and continued to ask, "What important matter do you have, you are not a gangster, you want to deceive me to pass the test, it is not so easy!"

The other person showed a headache expression, and rubbed his temples, "It seems that today I have to pass your test first, that's all, it's not that I can't tell you, but you have to promise me that you can't tell anyone! Otherwise my Lives are at stake.”

"Life is in danger?!"

Li Zhi muttered in his heart, the more curious he became.

"Just say what you want, as long as you don't do something bad, even though I'm young, I will keep my promise and won't tell anyone!"

Li Zhi patted his chest with his small hands, and his look of arrogance really made the other party look sideways.

But after being stunned for a while, the man said in a low voice, "I have made an important discovery! The plague in the palace is mostly man-made!"

Li Zhi opened his eyes immediately, pretending to be surprised and asked, "I dare not say such nonsense, what evidence do you have?"

The man said again, with a very low voice, "I tell you, don't tell others, if someone hears it, I will probably suffer!"

"Okay, hurry up and say it!"

"Do you know where the plague first broke out?"

The man said directly, "The palace near Beihai!"

There is a lake in the north of the palace, named Beihai, which is taken from the image of the extreme northern sea in reality, and it is located in a remote place.

The man said, "How did the plague come about? Since ancient times, no one can tell! But it is always in a place with many people. The plague in the palace this time is too weird, it is near the North Sea!"

"A few months ago, I heard from the servants in the palace that some dead mice and birds appeared on the road over there one after another, but they didn't attract much attention. Now that I think about it, is there someone concocting a strong plague poison there? Dispersion, that caused such a phenomenon?"

Li Zhi's heart was shaken, and he said in a low voice, "Concoct the plague there? It doesn't make sense. Isn't it much safer to prepare it outside and bring it into the palace?"

The man said, "You are too naive. After all, plague poison is not a mortal thing. It may be completely different from ordinary poison, and it may not be possible to carry it with you at all!"

The man's words instantly opened a skylight for Li Zhi!
He always thought that the plague was brought in from outside, but he didn't expect that there is another possibility, the source of the poison has always been in the palace!

"So people from Xue Yantuo have to transport poisons and sulfur from other places, just to transport them into the palace again and again..."

Li Zhi murmured softly in his heart, feeling that the truth of the matter was getting closer and closer to him!
In the darkness, on the same beam, the man on the opposite side saw that Li Zhi was lost in contemplation, his expression remained calm.

He continued, "I was planning to go to Beihai to find out what happened tonight, but I didn't expect to bump into you, a little guy! It's really impressive, at such a young age, you can actually sneak, maybe it's useful! How dare you go with me investigation?"

He's sending out an invitation.

Li Zhi didn't say much, just nodded, "Okay, let's go to Beihai to find out!"

The man squinted his eyes and praised, and there was a strange light in his eyes, "How courageous! Over there is the hardest hit by the plague. Who would dare to approach it? Let us explore together tonight!"

There is no need to say more, you can leave directly!
At this time, Li Zhi said, "You go ahead."

The man was stunned, "Oh... you don't know the way, that's right. Okay, let me lead the way!"

He walked past Li Zhi.

Li Zhi obediently made way for him.

The man was at the front, without further ado, he continued on his journey.

Li Zhi looked at his back and quickly followed.

The night was getting darker, the temperature dropped, and there was a little bit of coolness in the air.

The whole palace was silent,
The North Sea is quite a distance from here, and this side belongs to the "South China Sea" area, and it is further to the south.

When he was about to enter the Inner Imperial City, the man couldn't pass through this tall city wall, so he brought Li Zhi to appear out of the darkness.

He took out the official document and handed it to the city gate guard, "I have to go in immediately!"

The guards inspected the official documents, and there was nothing unusual, but it is worth mentioning that this team of guards all recognized Li Zhi!
Li Zhi gave them crazy looks, don't expose him!

The guards still have some insight...but they are really convinced!

The Ninth Prince is too energetic, at this time, at this period, where is the next time to play at night? !

The man hesitated and said, "This child is my assistant apprentice, please let him go!"

The guard nodded without saying a word, "Go in!"
