This is the last chance for this heavy snow to die in the world, so it launched the greatest madness, tirelessly causing harm to the world, screaming madly, and the thick branches on the tree were broken by the biting wind.

There was only a "squeak", the door was pushed open, and the sound of the wind was suddenly clear, and it could be heard that the snow was falling heavily.Ruan An bowed and walked in front of Xiang Yu, "Your Majesty."

Xiang Yu looked up.

"The shadow guards are back." Ruan An said, "They are waiting outside the hall, and they have something important to report to His Majesty about the Ning clan."

The vermilion walls of the palace gate were covered with snow, Ruan An led the shadow guards into the imperial study room, just after he came out of the imperial study room and closed the door, he saw a palace man in front hurried up the steps braved the snow under his feet.

Ruan An saw the hurried look on the person's face, so he went over immediately: "What happened?"

The wind and snow all over his body didn't have time to blow off, the palace servant bowed to Ruan An, and Ruan An leaned in to listen.I don't know what the palace man said, but Ruan An, who has always been calm, was surprised for a moment, and then frowned a little bit.

After finishing speaking, the palace man took a step back, his face was troubled: "This matter must be reported to His Majesty..."

Ruan An glanced at the imperial study room, and after thinking for a moment: "Go and bring the person here first."

The heavy snow fluttered wildly, the palace gates passed through one after another, and the palace servants followed the man they had just received from Xuanwu Gate. I saw this man was thin, with a hood on his head covering his face, walking cautiously along the way. Xiaobuzi followed behind the palace man with his head down.

The majesty of the imperial palace, trembling with trepidation, felt the sense of oppression from the moment I stepped into the palace gate.

She knelt outside the palace gate for two whole hours. It was freezing cold and her knees were soaked. Now that a gust of wind was blowing, her knees ached unbearably.She could still grit her teeth to hold back the physical pain, but what she couldn't restrain was the fear and anxiety she felt from the moment she stepped into the palace gate.

She looked down at her hands, which were shaking badly.

When meeting Tianyan face to face, who would not be afraid of an accidental head falling to the ground!

Glancing at the sky, it was already night, and the darkness of the night was shrouded like a giant net.She clutched her thighs with trembling hands, gritted her teeth, and mustered up her courage: "Eunuch... Eunuch, can you hurry up?"

Faster, faster!

At this moment, the shadow guard was reporting to Xiang Yu, and there was no one in the imperial study room, and Ruan An also left the imperial study room.

After listening to what the shadow guard said, Xiang Yu condensed for a moment, and said: "Is it caused by the heavy snow, nothing else?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, it was indeed caused by the heavy snow, but the disaster started from the heavy snow, but the root of the disaster was the fire five years ago." No matter how heavy the wind and snow were, it was still pressing on the eaves, and the eaves were the first to collapse. It may damage the building inside, but it is impossible to cause the whole house to collapse, but the Ning family collapsed suddenly, and the whole house directly collapsed to the ground.

When he couldn't figure it out, Yingwei said: "The beams and pillars in the center of the house were the first to break."

Hearing this, Xiang Yu frowned slightly, was the beam broken first?

Not to mention that the beams and columns of ordinary people can be preserved for a hundred years. The houses of the Ning people were bestowed by the emperor of the ancestors. The eaves and bridges are carefully carved. It is famous and precious, and it will not rot for a hundred years. The emperor of the ancestors gave it to the Ning people. When the house was built, the beams and logs were deeply buried in the ground.

It is also because of this that the Ning people would not have had the opportunity to repair and recast the house if it hadn't been for the beams and wood to support the house during the fire.

Back then, a raging fire was safe and sound, how could it be easily cut across the waist because of a night of snowstorm...

"Today, the leader of the shadow guard went to the collapsed ruins of the Ning clan and found something by accident. Please take a look at it." The leading shadow guard agreed, and a shadow guard standing behind him immediately stepped forward, holding a tray in both hands, The things on the tray were covered by a square scarf, which seemed to be extremely confidential and important, and they did not dare to be sloppy at all.

I saw the leading shadow guard with a solemn expression: "The matter is of great importance, and my subordinates dare not make a decision."

What the shadow guard said aroused Xiang Yu's curiosity, he waved his hand, and the shadow guard at the side stepped forward and lifted the square scarf.

The square scarf was pulled away, and the wood in the tray came into Xiang Yu's field of vision, one left and one right, two square pieces of wood, one could tell at a glance that they were rosewood wood, which was exactly the thickness of the beams and columns.

Xiang Yu picked up the two beams on the tray with both hands: "Is this taken from the ruins of the Ning clan?"

Holding it in front of my eyes, there is actually no difference between the two pieces of rosewood in Xiang Yu's hand. At first glance, there is no difference, there is no difference, but when Xiang Yu holds it in his hand and examines it carefully, he quickly sees the problem.

The two sections of wooden beams are not the same!

After discovering it, Xiang Yu put the two sections of wooden beams upright on the table, looked at them left and right, and compared the sizes, and then he realized that something was wrong, the section of wooden beams on the left hand side was slightly thicker than the other side.

"Is this a wooden beam in the same room?"

Because it stands to reason that if it is a house, the beams and timbers other than the main beam should be of average size.

The house of the Ning family was bestowed by the emperor of the ancestors back then. Since it is an imperial gift, the craftsmen who built the Ning house had to be ingenious to be worthy of the royal face. The pillars and beams support the whole building and share the weight of the whole house. The responsibility is heavy, so the difference between each beam in a mansion must be as strict as a centimeter.

The shadow guard spoke at this moment: "Return to Your Majesty, the two wooden beams in your Majesty's hands are indeed taken from the same mansion, but they are not taken from two beams, but - the same beam."

The same beam?Xiang Yu looked up.

"Yes, one part is the end of the earth, and the other is the end of the sky. And the one on your majesty's left is the end of the earth."

Since it is the same beam, there should be no problem of different sizes. Xiang Yu gradually frowned, puzzled, so he directly picked up the ground end on the left hand side and studied it carefully.

"My subordinates asked the craftsmen who repaired the Ning family. The craftsmen said that the Ning family was severely damaged by the fire and the whole house was almost rebuilt, but they dared not move the beams at will, so they only did reinforcements and did not change one in the past five years."

That is to say, these beams were all that remained of the fire.

Sweeping his eyes lightly, Xiang Yu suddenly paused, his eyebrows frowned, and he interrupted the shadow guard in a deep voice: "What is this?"

The shadow guard looked up and found that Xiang Yu's eyes were fixed on the end of the beam in his hand.

The things were presented by the shadow guards, so of course they knew what shadow guards were on it.

The veneer on the outside of the rosewood is slightly warped, and there are small cracks around it.

Xiang Yu grew up in the Leng Palace when he was young. The Leng Palace is located in the most remote corner of the entire imperial city. The sunlight can't come in. When you open the door and walk in, you can only feel it's bitingly cold. The palace is humid all the year round. It has been a long time, and the wooden core is swollen and deformed. When the moisture evaporates and dries up in the hot and dry summer, small cracks will bloom on the wooden body.

Before the shadow guard could say or do anything, Xiang Yu stretched out his hand by accident, pressed on the turned up wooden veneer, rubbed it slightly hard, and the layer of veneer peeled off.

As that layer of wood peeled off, large swathes of dark color underneath were revealed.An almost blackish-brown mottled deep and light on the wood that should have been ginger, this color is like——

"Your Majesty, it's blood." The shadow guard raised his head with a serious expression.

The scarlet blood has dried up over the years, printing and staining the wooden body layer by layer. .

The shadow guard's face was calm, and he replied meticulously: "This subordinate entered the collapsed ruins of the Ning tribe. A total of 67 beams in the ruins of the Ning tribe were broken. Among them, the wooden cores of 42 were dark brown. Each of them has been checked by the subordinates, and the color is dyed. Two inches high, and then cut open the traces of old blood in the wood heart and penetrate eight parts of the wood."

Therefore, the reason for the collapse of the Ning family was not heavy snow, but a problem with the wooden beams supporting the mansion. The wooden beams were swollen and deformed, and the infrastructure was damaged.And what the shadow guard said just now, the sentence that is only two inches high and penetrating eight points is enough to shock people.

Two inches, this high amount is not so shocking, but it will be different if it is placed in such a large mansion of the Ning clan.Stepping into the huge mansion of the Ning clan, blood flooded the entire floor with blood flooding the insteps. At that time, the scarlet and thick blood of the Ning clan merged into a stream.

How many people's blood is needed to achieve this level, and how long has the wooden beam been soaked in blood to reach this level.

Xiang Yu's face changed slightly.

The shadow guard said seriously: "Return to Your Majesty, there may have been a tragic massacre in the Ning clan's mansion."
