"Sir, Mr. Guan is gone."

Feng Luan came in to report.

He is the newly appointed Yuanwailang after Shi Hongfu's death.

"Just leaving?"

Wan Zhengye raised his head and said, "No one from the Arsenal Department is talking nonsense."

"Anyway, he has chatted with a lot of people, so it should be nothing, and he even came to see me."

"What did I ask you?"

Feng Luan spread his hands and said, "As for Shen Jian, Che An and the others, I don't know. I haven't been here long and I didn't know them before."

"Don't pay attention to him. He wanted to have an arm-wrestle with Mr. Deng, so he set his sights on our Arsenal Department and took the opportunity to cause trouble."

Wan Zhengye put down the pen in his hand.

"The imperial court has set up a new army, and we in the Arsenal Department must fully cooperate and not hold us back. You have to be more attentive. I was about to retire, but this happened, so you have to be more attentive."

"I know, thank you Master Wan for the tip."

Feng Luan truly admired this person.

It is said that an iron-clad camp is made of smooth soldiers, but among the generals, it is the evergreen tree of the Arsenal Department. He is conscientious in his duties and has an excellent reputation.

Wan Zhengye asked again: It's been a while since you've been here, have you sorted things out?"

"I found that there was a lot of old equipment in the armory that was not recorded, and..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Wan Zhengye.

"I know these things. The Arsenal Department is a clear water yamen, but everyone has to live. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. You understand."

"clear."

Feng Luan is not a person who doesn't know how to adapt.

Every bureau has special secret rules.

"What I want to report is another matter."

He said in a low voice: "Our Ministry of War has many warehouses where weapons and ammunition are stored. Most of them are distributed outside, but some special weapons are kept separately in the Arsenal Department. During the cleaning process, I found that there was a Chiba sword codenamed seventy-eight.

, and there is no record of receipt.”

"You should know what kind of instrument the Chiba Blade is. It will be checked every time, but now..."

"Thousand-leaf blade?"

Wan Zhengye was slightly surprised.

"Don't you know?"

"have no idea."

"Then what should we do?"

Wan Zhengye frowned. The Qianye Blade is a special weapon and its use is strictly controlled. It must be signed by the minister before it can be taken away, and it must be recorded.

"The people in charge at the time were Shen Jian and Che An, and Shi Hongfu may also have known about it, but they are both dead and cannot be found."

Feng Luan said: "If the superiors find out, will it fall on me? By the way, there is also a member of the Communist Party of China, Li Bing. Why don't you ask him?"

The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.

Wan Zhengye suddenly remembered.

He believed that the three people died normally because he felt there was no direct connection and could only be regarded as a coincidence.

But now, they seem to be connected.

That is the Chiba Blade.

This is the highest level of equipment. It was built by the Ministry of Industry and used for special situations. The Ministry of War only stores some parts and they are all numbered...

Didn't Guan Ning investigate the case deliberately to cause trouble?

Wan Zhengye recalled, but why didn't he, the doctor, know anything about it?

This makes absolutely no sense.

Does that mean you were taken away by bypassing him?

"Um?"

Wan Zhengye said: "Just leave this matter alone for the time being..."

"yes."

"My subordinates resign."

As night fell, the arsenal was completely quiet, and all the people had left.

Only then did Wan Zhengye put down the pen in his hand.

The establishment of a new army requires a lot of supporting weapons and equipment, not to mention that it is the main force to defend the north.

He actually didn't understand very much.

Why should the Zhenbei Army be transferred away and replaced with a new army?

Can the new army withstand the barbarian attack?

He was very doubtful.

But this is not something he should consider. After these few days of busy work, he will be old.

There is another thing, which is the Thousand Leaf Blade that Feng Luan told him.

Why didn't he, the doctor, know about it?

Who can get around him?

"Um?"

Wan Zhengye suddenly seemed to remember something.

Any use by the Arsenal Department requires his approval, which means that he must be informed before he can leave the warehouse.

He remembered that someone had said hello to him once, but he was not sure.

Wan Zhengye turned around and took out small notebooks from the bookcase at the back and flipped through them.

He is old and has a bad memory, so he writes down many important things in his notebook. This is a habit he has developed over the years.

"That's not it."

"That's not it."

He was muttering, then suddenly startled.

"On April 28th, Xiu Mu was at home, there was..."

That's it.

Is it him?

Wan Zhengye frowned.

"Squeak, the door is open."

The sudden movement startled him, causing him to subconsciously throw the book on the ground. When he saw the person coming, he kicked the book under the table with his feet...

"Sir, it's so late, what's wrong with you?"

"Whoosh!"

Before he finished speaking, a willow dart flew towards him and pierced directly into his throat!

"you……"

Wan Zhengye looked in disbelief, his pupils quickly dilated, and he died!

Then, the person who came to the door quietly left, in the night, no one knew...

At this moment, the entire bungalow in the Superintendent's Office was brightly lit.

"This is the information collected today."

Guan Ning said to several people: "It is basically certain that these people died abnormally, so our direction is correct."

This afternoon he went to Deshan Tang. Now that Guan's firm has cooperated with Deshan Tang, it is naturally not a problem to ask about this matter.

There is a doctor in Deshan Hall, and it was here that Che An's illness was diagnosed, prescriptions were prescribed, and medicines were taken regularly.

Every patient has a record, and Guan Ning also personally asked the doctor to diagnose liver-qi stagnation, damp-heat stagnation, which in modern terms is gallstones.

Guan Ning also read the prescription and checked it to confirm that it was correct, including the prescription before Che An's accident.

But in the process, another doubt was discovered.

The normal process is that the doctor writes a prescription and then takes the prescription with him to take the medicine, which is separate.
To be continued...
