The yamen guard outside the yamen was also a little anxious at this time, and looked inside the yamen from time to time.

When Shen Lian came here, he said directly: "Why did your place suddenly become flooded? Do you know the reason?"

The gatekeeper heard the sound and looked over quickly.

Seeing that the person coming was Shen Lian, they quickly bowed to Shen Lian and said, "I have met Mr. Shen."

Shen Lian waved his hand and said, "What's going on?"

A government official said: "We don't know what caused the fire. Someone just noticed smoke rising, and then the fire couldn't stop."

Shen Lian asked: "Where is the fire? Are there any casualties?"

The officer said: "The fire was in the file room. So far, I haven't heard of any casualties."

"Dossier room?"

Sishe was shocked and couldn't help but look at Shen Lian.

Shen Lian's eyes were deep.

Coincidence?

Just when I was about to check the files from ten years ago, the files caught fire?

Is it a coincidence, or...

Did the thieves from the Beidou Society do it?

What did Zhang Qin do?

Shen Lian looked at these government officials and said, "I want to go in to find Mr. Du. Please help me inform him."

Naturally, the yamen servant did not dare to hesitate and quickly turned around and entered the yamen.

Not long after, Du Chuke, who was covered in dust, walked out quickly.

Seeing Shen Lian, he hurriedly raised his hands to Shen Lian and said, "Master Shen, why are you here?"

Shen Lian said: "Master Du, how is your fire?"

Du Chuke sighed and said: "Most of the files room was burned down, but fortunately there were no casualties. Oh, let's not mention it. So many files were burned, so we are in trouble now."

Du Chuke had a very headache at this time.

He rubbed his forehead, feeling very troubled.

The archives room was burned down and many precious archives were lost.

Once some buildings need to be renovated in the future, without the original construction files, the amount of work will increase exponentially.

Moreover, once these files are needed in the future to build similar buildings, but the files are gone, it is likely that those buildings will not be constructed.

After all, the time and energy spent designing a brand new building is immeasurable.

Not to mention, without the accumulation of previous experience, it is likely to make mistakes that should not be made.

In short, Du Chuke just feels like a mess now.

He sighed and looked at Shen Lian and said: "It's such an unlucky time for Mr. Shen to come. This fire has caused heavy losses to our Ministry of Industry. I need to quickly count the number of burned files so that I can report to His Majesty. Then wait to be scolded."

Du Chuke could already imagine how Li Shimin would point at him and scold him.

When Shen Lian saw Du Chuke's headache, he said, "It's not an unlucky chance for me to come, but it's too coincidental."

"I even suspect that this fire is related to me."

When Du Chuke heard Shen Lian's words, he raised his head suddenly. He looked at Shen Lian in surprise and said, "What do you mean, Lord Shen?"

Shen Lian didn't show off, he said directly: "I think Han Qian is here!"

"Han Qian?"

Du Chuke frowned and said, "I heard that Han Qian was killed?"

Shen Lian nodded.

Du Chuke's frown deepened: "Master Shen came to the Ministry of Works, did he think that the murderer of Han Qian was related to other people in the Ministry of Works?"

"Is this fire also related to Han Qian?"

Shen Lian said: "Han Qian's murder had nothing to do with the Ministry of Industry, but the fire was probably related to Han Qian."

Du Chuke was confused after hearing this.

Han Qian was killed, and it had nothing to do with the Ministry of Industry.

Why is it that the fire after Han Qian was killed was related to Han Qian?

He couldn't help but said: "Master Shen, what on earth is going on?"

Shen Lian said: "Master Du, while we are walking, we are saying that I need to go to the fire scene and take a look. Maybe I can help you find some clues. At least, I may be able to help you determine the origin of the fire."

When Du Chuke heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yes, Mr. Shen is the smartest person in the Tang Dynasty. There is absolutely nothing I can hide from you."

"Master Shen, please hurry up. If you can find out the cause of the fire, after I go to see His Majesty again, His Majesty may blame me less."

With that said, Du Chuke immediately invited Shen Lian to enter the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry.

As the two walked, Shen Lian said: "The cause of Han Qian's death is a bit complicated, so I won't tell Mr. Du."

"But there is one thing I can tell Mr. Du. Han Qian, who has worked in your Ministry of Industry yamen for ten years, is actually a fake."

Du Chuke's footsteps suddenly stopped, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed: "Fake!?"

"What...what does this mean?"

Shen Lian looked at him and said: "The current Han Qian was replaced ten years ago and was replaced by thieves from the Beidou Society."

"So, Han Qian, who has worked with you for ten years, is actually a fake. He is a traitor to the Beidou Society!"

Du Chuke was completely confused: "A traitor from the Beidou Society?"

"This matter actually has something to do with Beidou?"

Now, who doesn’t know the name of Beidou Club?

That was the number one evil organization in the Tang Dynasty.

He has always been at odds with Datang.

He never thought that the Yuanwai Lang under his command would be a traitor from the Beidou Society in disguise.

"I never found out," he said.

Shen Lian said: "Han Qian's family didn't find out, so it's normal that Master Du didn't find out."

Du Chuke nodded.

Shen Lian continued: "As a thief of the Beidou Society, Han Qian was suddenly killed. This incident must have gone beyond the Beidou Society's expectations."

"The fake Han Qian replaced the real Han Qian and stayed at the Ministry of Industry for a purpose. So now that the fake Han Qian is dead, the Beidou Society may be worried that their secrets will be discovered, so they will do something to clean up the traces. .”

Du Chuke understood what Shen Lian meant.

"You mean, Beidou started this fire!"

"Did they deliberately try to clean up the fake Han Qian's tail?"

Shen Lian nodded: "Nothing unexpected happens, that's it."

"Of course, I still need to check the situation of the fire before I can make a judgment."

While talking, the two came to the burned-down file room.

At this time, the open fire had been basically extinguished, leaving only a small area where flames still rose.

However, people from the yamen kept bringing in new water, which was quickly poured on the flames.

Not long after, the remaining small open flames were extinguished.
