Chapter 120 120, search, win the hearts of the people

"Is there any ready-made defective product that I can take a look at..."

He asked in a deep voice.

Having spent many years in the military camp, he is very good at identifying the quality of weapons.

"have."

Yan Wuhen immediately brought a bow and a few inferior arrows he carried with him to the Third Highness.

Xiao Qiyu took it in his hand and inspected it carefully. He was so angry that he almost folded all these things:

"This matter must be investigated thoroughly. Just wait, I will write a note now and enter the palace immediately. You follow me in. When the time comes, I will meet with the Holy Emperor and you will make a statement to his face..."

Yan Wuhen perked up and immediately responded loudly: "Yes."

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Qiyu had a detailed chat with him about the hidden quality problems of other weapons. Then, he quickly wrote a memorial and asked to see him overnight.

Emperor Liang was a diligent ruler, and he would not take matters lightly as long as it concerned the affairs of the country.

Under the bright palace lantern, Emperor Liang finished reading the memorial, and then looked at the arrow feathers and several weapons brought by Yan Wuhen with a solemn expression.

Emperor Liang was once a general, and he knew a lot about military utensils.

First of all, the arrow that shot down the guard chief of Longmen Academy must have come from the Northern Arms Department. There is no doubt about this.

Second, the weapons brought by Yan Wuhen did have serious quality problems - the words marked on them showed that they were undoubtedly produced by the Northern Armaments Department.

If something really goes wrong in the Armament Department, it will definitely be a big trouble.

"Weapons are the armor of the country. If the armor is damaged, if the enemy attacks, how can we protect the country and the people... Please order the Emperor to immediately conduct a thorough investigation of the Armament Department... While they are defenseless, conduct a thorough investigation now, and there will be great gains..."

Xiao Qiyu knelt down and begged.

Yan Wuhen was standing on the side. When he saw this, he followed suit and asked for orders: "Please order a thorough investigation. Every piece of equipment in the army must be a sharp weapon to kill the enemy. If there is no blood when the flesh is cut, the Great Liang is in danger..."

How could Emperor Liang not understand this truth? He immediately ordered: "Xiao Qiyu listens to the order. From now on, you will be fully responsible for the weapons case. The people of the Shenji Camp are at your disposal. You must not let go of the worms of the country. You must

Check out all the weapons with quality issues in the army, and anyone involved in this case will be severely punished..."

As soon as these words came out, the face of Eunuch Gao, the general manager next to him, trembled slightly - he felt that a bloody storm was about to break out in Tiandu City.

"yes."

Xiao Qiyu immediately accepted the order and made a request: "Father, can I ask for someone to assist me in the investigation?"

"Say, who do you want?"

Emperor Liang asked.

Xiao Qiyu signaled to the unknown soldier next to him: "My son, I want to transfer Yan Wuhen from Kunzhou and temporarily put him under my command and listen to my orders."

"allow."

Emperor Liang agreed.

Yan Wuhen was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

In this life, his biggest wish is to go to Beijing and follow His Highness, and now this wish has been fulfilled?

The two of them said goodbye.

In the palace, Emperor Liang was sitting in front of Long Yu, looking at the pile of inferior weapons with a murderous look on his face. They dared to make such a big mistake in the Armament Department. These people are really looking for death.

*

After coming out of the palace, Xiao Qiyu immediately went to Shenji Camp to dispatch two hundred elite soldiers.

Then the troops divided into two groups.

They ran all the way out of the North City Gate and headed towards Beishan. With lightning speed, they surrounded the Northern Arms Department.

He ran all the way out of the South City Gate and headed to the South Arms Department, detaining everyone in the department.

The people in the Northern Armament Department are usually very arrogant, because Hu Wei, the envoy, is married to the queen's sister, and the Hu family and the current emperor are related by marriage.

Such a relationship meant that if someone wanted to impeach the Northern Arms Department, sensible people would have stopped all those desperate memorials early on.

Even if His Highness the Crown Prince sees someone, he has to call him: "Uncle."

"Where did this bunch of mad dogs come from? How dare you touch our Northern Arms Department? Keep your eyes open and wait for the knife..."

The person who kept shouting was none other than Hu Wei's only son, Hu Yiming.

Six years ago, the young Hu Yiming became the champion of martial arts. Later, Da Qi invaded. He went to the battlefield and wanted to fight vigorously, but he met His Highness the Third Prince who was also in the army.

At that time, His Highness the Third Highness was eager to make meritorious service in the army and would take the lead in any war.

As for Hu Yiming, because he is the prince's cousin, he wants to overpower the disgraced Third Highness in everything. He wants to compete with the Third Highness in everything, but ends up losing every time.

Later, during a battle, he was eager to seek credit and fell into the enemy's trick. Half of the troops and horses he led were lost. He was also seriously injured and was unable to walk from then on. Finally, he was punished and banned by the emperor.

After two years of raising him, the emperor asked him to take a position under his father in the Northern Armaments Department after the empress's plea, and he stayed there for three years.

Now, here he is, the little overlord who is inferior to one person but outnumbers ten thousand people. All those who come to receive weapons are given benefits. Without benefits, the weapons they want may be half as many as defective weapons from other barracks.

Of course, the number of defective products has always been controlled within the prescribed range.

Today, while he was sleeping soundly in his room, he was dragged out of bed, pushed to his knees on the ground, and stabbed with swords and sticks. When he got angry, he uttered arrogant words.

"Okay, then I'll wash my neck and wait for your knife to cut it..."

Xiao Qiyu walked steadily to him, his voice was cold.

As soon as Hu Yiming saw Xiao Qiyu, his face suddenly turned pale. It took him a while to find his voice, and he pretended to be calm and shouted:

"Your Highness, how did our Northern Arms Department offend you? How dare you come to search our Arms Department in the middle of the night?"

"This palace is following the imperial order to inspect the Armament Department tonight, count all the armaments, inspect the quality of the armaments, and calculate the cost of iron and stone...

"Commander Hu, please kneel here quietly and do not make any movements. From this moment on, all files and documents of your Arms Department will be handed over to this palace...

"How many filthy things the Department of Armaments has done in recent years will eventually come to light..."

Xiao Qiyu spoke with the imperial order.

Hu Yiming immediately started to tremble. He suddenly realized that what he had done might be exposed.

After a night of verification, Xiao Qiyu investigated and disposed of 1,052 inferior swords, 502 inferior bows, 2,014 inferior arrows, and 1,063 inferior armor sets...

These are only the quantities found in stock.

Among the hundreds of thousands of weapons that have been distributed, there must be surprisingly inferior ones.

Only three years.

Xiao Qiyu has been ill for the past few years and has been idle half the time and has no authority to do anything. He never knew that the Armament Department had become such a mess?

After getting such data, Xiao Qiyu reported it directly to the emperor.

In the morning of the court, when Emperor Liang faced such a shocking result, he was so angry that he threw the pile of useless weapons brought to the court all over the floor.

"Immediately send Hu Wei and his son to the sky jail, and all those involved in the case will be jailed..."

Emperor Liang slapped the bookcase and shouted angrily: "In addition, order each military camp to conduct a thorough investigation of the inferior weapons in the camp and report them in full. The Armament Department reorganized the staff and distributed the high-quality weapons in stock, and at the same time, people were working overnight to build high-quality weapons.

A good weapon must be made up for as much as it lacks. There must be no mistakes..."

On that day, all personnel from the Northern Arms Department were imprisoned.

The Southern Armament Department did not find many problems, and the quantity and quality were within control.

Another day, Hu Yiming confessed that the reason why he made so many inferior weapons was because he sold all the best iron and stones to the Tren tribe in the north. The money he received was divided 50-50 with the prince.

The prince only knew that Hu Yiming was doing business, but he didn't know that he was doing this kind of business. When he found out, he was so frightened that he kowtowed in the palace and put all the responsibility on Hu Yiming.

When Emperor Liang found out, he whipped the prince directly in front of all his ministers, leaving him bruised all over his body, and then grounded the prince...

Another day, Hu Yiming confessed to what he had committed. All members of the Hu family except his wife were sentenced to death. Others involved in the case were sentenced to death or exile...

For three days, all the civil and military officials in Tiandu City were in panic, fearing that they would be implicated.

However, the common people praised him. This time, His Highness the Third Highness discovered another cancer. For the imperial court, this was a great blessing among misfortunes.

*

Yan Wuhen always admired His Highness the Third Highness. This time, when he went on this errand with the Third Highness and saw his vigorous and resolute work style, he admired him even more.

In three days, His Highness the Third Highness was able to solve the problems that had been plaguing the military camp for a long time, which is truly remarkable.

And the reason why he can follow His Highness in doing things is because of Mu Yunwei, the fourth girl of the Mu family.

If she hadn't asked Guard Asu to take him back to the Third Prince's residence that day, he wouldn't have been able to meet the Third Prince so quickly, and he wouldn't have been able to solve the case so quickly.

So, on the evening of the third day, after work, he went to buy some gifts and ran to the Mu family courtyard to ask for a meeting with the fourth girl.

Logically speaking, unmarried men and women cannot meet in private, which is inconsistent with etiquette. However, after Mr. Sanlang of the Mu family learned that it was the fourth girl who robbed his horse that day, he immediately left him happily and said:

"Your horse really came in handy that day."

He also called out the fourth girl.

Yan Wuhen immediately smiled and saluted the fourth girl, and said: "That day, thanks to the help of the fourth girl, I had the opportunity to meet the third highness.
