The First Tyrant of Daxia

Su Yan looked at the guards following behind him. They all had serious expressions. He knew in his heart that something must have happened.

"Do you remember the last time the assassination took place, the murderer sent people to burn down the building?"

Qin Yun narrowed his eyes and focused his expression. Yes, Yihongyuan was also burned down last time.

"Remember, what happened?"

Su Yan pursed her red lips, leaned close to him, and whispered: "The main building of Yihongyuan is being rebuilt. I live here and accidentally discovered some suspicious points."

"I heard some rumors in the imperial capital not long ago, so I wanted to ask you to come over and see if I could help you."

Qin Yun's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly grabbed her slender hand.

"What's the suspicion?"

Su Yan pulled her hand back and said jokingly, "Just say it, don't touch me."

"Come in with me, there are too many people here."

Qin Yun took a deep breath and suppressed his inner excitement.

He turned back and said steadily: "Everyone, stay here."

Then he walked quickly into the Orchid Pavilion.

Su Yan followed behind, closed the door, and smiled softly, "Your Majesty, you were so anxious and impatient just now."

"This time, I smelled the fishy smell and came in immediately."

"It's the same as a man tricking a woman into sleeping with him."

"Go ahead if there's hope. If there's no hope, get out of here immediately."

Qin Yun was amused by her vivid metaphor: "Aunt Su, please stop teasing me."

"I'm really worried right now. Hurry up and tell me what you doubt."

"As long as you are useful, I will reward you handsomely!"

Su Yan's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and she joked, "How about entering the palace and becoming a concubine?"

Qin Yun was stunned and blurted out: "No problem!"

Su Yan was also stunned for a moment, with an indescribable complex taste on the tip of her tongue, and she did not continue the topic.

He took a deep breath and took out a bamboo basket from under the table.

"Your Majesty, take a look for yourself."

Qin Yun frowned and immediately lifted the blue cloth, and saw several pieces of burnt charcoal in the bamboo basket.

"This is?"

Su Yan explained: "I found this by accident from the ruins of Yihong Courtyard."

"There's still a wedge of wood here that hasn't been burned."

She opened her hand and there was a wooden wedge in it.

Qin Yun keenly smelled a strange smell, which was similar to the smell of the house that burned not long ago. It was special sesame oil!

Su Yan looked serious and continued, "Your Majesty, my ancestors were carpenters, so I know a lot about wood."

"This wood is mixed with something similar to sesame oil, which is flammable when exposed to fire."

“And it can be preserved for a long time!”

Qin Yun seemed to have grasped something, but he didn't fully understand it.

He frowned and said, "Go on."

Su Yan brought the saltpeter and said, "Your Majesty, light it and give it a try."

Qin Yun did as he was told.

Suddenly the small wooden wedge caught fire, and the flame was so strong that it burned some of his eyebrows in an instant!

His expression changed slightly, and his pupils reflected the flames on the ground.

Standing there in a daze!

Su Yan frowned and said, "Your Majesty, everyone knows about the fire in the imperial capital just now. If I remember correctly, the house that was burned was a medical clinic."

"And this clinic, I've been to, seems to be built of camphor wood."

"And the construction of Yihong Courtyard is also made of camphor wood!"

"I tried several times and used more than a dozen kinds of wood, but the sesame oil can only be dissolved in camphor wood. Other woods will evaporate in a few hours at most, or they will be washed away by water and cannot be preserved."

Hear this.

Qin Yun's expression changed completely!

Su Yan saw that she had almost finished what she wanted to say, so she measured her words and did not finish it in one breath to avoid arousing suspicion.

After all, I am just a "prostitute"!

"Your Majesty, this matter is somewhat coincidental. Although I am a lowly woman, I am not stupid."

"I was wondering if there was any hidden secret in it, so I hurried to report it to you."

Qin Yun's eyes suddenly shot out a sharp light!

A thread seemed to run through his mind.

Camphor wood can preserve the components of sesame oil and prevent them from evaporating, which explains why sesame oil appeared in the imperial capital while the various departments of the Jinyiwei were unaware of it!

All the special sesame oils had already been applied to various places by the East Factory's lackeys.

Just light a fire and the fire will start quickly.

"Somebody come!"

He shouted loudly.

"Hurry to the clinic where the incident happened and check for me to see if the wood used to build it is camphor wood!"

"Also, quickly summon the Minister of Works and the officials from the Supervision Office to the Imperial Palace to wait for me!"

Outside the door, the Royal Guards shouted, "Yes!"

Qin Yun was so excited that he couldn't control himself.

It seems like a corner of the conspiracy has been glimpsed and is about to be revealed!

Following the line of camphor wood, we can definitely find sesame oil and also determine the attack target of He Wuji of Dongchang.

Thus, we can take advantage of the situation and completely wipe out the East Factory!

"Hahaha!"

Qin Yun laughed: "Aunt Su, your accidental discovery has helped me a lot!"

Seeing this, Su Yan pursed her lips and smiled slightly.

The next second, Qin Yun was so happy that he rushed forward and hugged her, holding her hands tightly.

"When I finish dealing with this matter, I will reward you with a car full of treasures."

"Everything in the world, except my imperial seal, is yours to choose!"

Su Yan's beautiful eyes flashed with something strange, and she quickly pushed Qin Yun away.

She rolled her eyes unhappily and said, "Auntie, I think you are trying to take advantage of me in some way."

"Hahaha!"

Qin Yun laughed loudly, and it was like the clouds had parted and the blue sky appeared.

"Okay, I have to go take care of things right away. The situation is extremely urgent, so I won't accompany Aunt Su."

Su Yan pretended to be puzzled: "Your Majesty, are you so happy? Could it be that this camphor wood can preserve sesame oil and bring you any benefits?"

Qin Yun laughed: "It's more than just a benefit."

"This is almost an absolute factor in my crushing the conspiracy of the East Factory thieves!"

"If you succeed, you will be awarded first-class merit."

Su Yan raised her red lips and said half-truthfully, "Is that so? Then Your Majesty, don't forget what you just said."

"If you lie to me, I'll never forgive you!"

Qin Yun leaned over and looked down at her sitting on the chair, his breath almost hitting her face.

"Hehe, I won't lie to Aunt Su. I always keep my word."

Hearing this, Su Yan's smile froze.

Then her face turned pale and blue, and she slapped Qin Yun's restless hand in annoyance.

"Pooh!"

"You brat, you're neither big nor small!"

Qin Yun saw that she was shy, embarrassed, and quite angry, and he felt amused and pleased at the same time.

Then he turned around and said, "Aunt Su, please have a rest. I am going back to the palace to deal with urgent matters."

Su Yan shouted reflexively: "Your Majesty..."

Qin Yun turned around: "What's wrong?"

"No, nothing." Su Yan forced a smile, which was nice but not very sincere.

Qin Yun didn't pay too much attention to anything at this critical moment. He nodded and left.

Su Yan in the Orchid Pavilion was troubled.

Rather than killing Qin Yun, she didn't want to use deception, which was too hurtful.

As a woman, she even hated herself a little.
