Chapter 829
"Grandmaster, please check it out."
The soldier moved the Yanling sword back and bowed his hand to present the object in his palm.
Shi Yong looked over and found that it was a piece of paper and a small stone. The piece of paper was rolled up into a ball and was wrinkled, and the stone was an ordinary stone. The soldier was wearing a chain mail, and was not tall or short, and was also an ordinary soldier. But he suddenly presented a stone and a piece of paper to Shangguan, which seemed a little unusual.
Zhao Yin unfolded the note, took a look, and his eyebrows locked up.
"Where are you on duty?"
The soldier did not dare to look up and said softly: "I am responsible for the defense of the camp."
Zhao Yin looked at Wei Xiaolong, nodded when he saw him, and asked again: "Who gave it to you?"
When the soldier heard this, he raised his head and showed a hint of confusion in his eyes. "Report to the Grand Governor, I don't know who Bei Yi is. The note was thrown over with a stone or a slingshot. Bei Yi was shocked when he saw it. Thinking that maybe it was a Bodhisattva warning, he hurried in and reported..."
"Bold!" Wei Xiaolong glared at him, "Answer the words of the Grand Commander, what kind of Bodhisattva warns?"
The soldier was scolded and looked bitter, "General Wei, that's how Bei Zhi thought about it? No one was seen outside the barracks. It was not a Bodhisattva. Who would warn him?"
Wei Xiaolong wanted to say something, but Zhao Yin raised his hand to stop him.
"He is very alert, General Wei will reward him."
Wei Xiaolong quickly changed into a smile: "I'm not happy, thank you Governor..."
Zhao Yin waved his hand and refused to let him bow, but whispered, "Bai Zhi!"
Bai Zhi walked out from behind, "My master, I am here."
Zhao Yin said: "Catch up and see who is warning."
Bai Zhi clasped his fists and whispered: "Yes!"
After saying that, he strode away. Wei Xiaolong looked at the soldiers around him, and saw that Zhao Yin walked towards the row of firearms slowly. He was stunned for a moment, followed quickly and whispered: "Anotherwise, what is it written on this note?"
Zhao Yin handed the note to Wei Xiaolong, then looked at Shi Yong who was following him.
"Ashi goes to the other end of the schoolyard."
Shi Yong wondered: "Why?"
Wei Xiaolong said at the same time, "Don't light the fire, what's the point?"
Don't light the fire? Shi Yongsai looked at the note and finally saw the three crumpled scribbled handwriting.
No wonder the soldier said he was "seeking police" just now, and Zhao Yin praised him for his cleverness. Because without the arrival of this note, Zhao Yin would soon ignite the firearms on the chariot, one to examine the performance, and the other to shock the military power.
"I'm not afraid." Shi Yong smiled at Zhao Yin and said, "I just happened to see the new firearm, so I couldn't bear to leave."
Zhao Yin's pursed lips moved slightly, but he did not force her to force her anymore, but raised his hand to signal.
Two soldiers came over and removed the red cloth covered with the chariot. Only then did Shi Yong discover that this new type of firearm was somewhat similar to the ancient cannons that had been seen in film and television dramas before.
The current firearm technology is only in the primary stage, and the range and power of the cannon are far from comparable to those of later generations. Although this shell has been renovated several times in the firearm, it still needs to be loaded and ignited for firing, and the range is not far.
The firearms were arranged on the side of the training ground, and behind them were soldiers arranged neatly. The fire tubes were aimed at the shooting range and fields where soldiers practiced martial arts. Because there was a drill, there was already no one there.
Zhao Yin looked at the cannons for a moment and suddenly turned around: "General Wei, have you discovered it?"
Wei Xiaolong is the commander of the Shenji Camp, specializing in his duties and has been accused of firearms. He heard this and bowed: "I'll ask the Grand Commander to retreat and let the general dismantle it."
Zhao Yin took two steps back silently.
Shi Yong, Xie Fang, Zhu Jiu and others followed suit and retreated.
"It's not someone who is making fun of us, right?"
The person who spoke was Zhu Jiu. Xie Fang looked at him and ignored him.
At this time, Wei Xiaolong had already squatted down and thought about the cannon. Just looking at the appearance, he asked someone to bring tools and directly removed the cannon. He was very slow, and everyone's eyes on the field also turned with him, and he became tense involuntarily.
Suddenly, Wei Xiaolong held an iron piece and observed for a while and his face changed suddenly.
"Grandmaster!"
With a clang, he threw away the iron piece and turned around to bow to Zhao Yin.
"The last general is not strict in the military administration, which almost caused a disaster. Please punish the Grand Commander!"
Zhao Yin raised his hand and said, "Stand up and talk."
Wei Xiaolong maintained that posture, and there was already a faint sweat on his forehead. "Grandmaster, the artillery machine is controlled by someone, and someone is tampered with. If the Grandmaster rashly ignites the fire just now, the fire bomb cannot be fired, and it will explode itself..."
If it explodes on the spot, Zhao Yin will either die or be injured.
"What a vicious heart!"
Zhu Jiu was so angry that he drew his sword and watched around.
"General Wei, you have spies in your Shenji Camp!"
A traitor, with his anger, suddenly made the school ground burst into flames.
The soldiers were talking about it. Some people expressed their loyalty and some people guessed the spies. The noise came one after another, and most of them were shouting, asking Zhao Yin and Wei Xiaolong to quickly find out the spies who tampered with the cannon to prove their innocence.
In the capital, who dared to be brave enough to frame the commander of the Jinyiwei, the commander of the Five Army, and the Marquis of Dongding Zhao Yin? This is not that he is not afraid of death, but that he has given all the lives of the nine clans of the family and his hands.
Everyone present was afraid of the Jinyiwei's methods. Today, this incident happened in Shenji Camp, and everyone was afraid of being implicated. Seeing Zhao Yin fiddling with the firearm that Wei Xiaolong removed, they kept silent, and everyone was silent. Even Wei Xiaolong was tense, asking Zhao Yin to investigate the matter thoroughly, while constantly wiping sweat and apologizing.
"The Grand Governor, it's all a big blame for the general's lack of supervision. The General should bear this responsibility... Please rest assured. The General must have pulled this person out and gave the General an explanation..."
"No need." Zhao Yin narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly snorted, "I'm afraid that people in your camp can do it because they have made such a fine modification. Besides..." He looked at the "stone that sent a message" and said lightly: "If you can make people know, you will come to warn you. It must have been modified before you sent it to Shenji Camp."
Da Yan had extremely strict control over firearms. The gunpowder and other materials used were all responsible by the special agencies of the court. The place where firearms were manufactured and studied was called "Fire Tools Square", which was managed by the Ministry of War. Only the craftsmen in the firearms workshop understood the deep structure and design principles of artillery. At most, the soldiers of the Shenji Camp learned to use them. Where can they know how to change the device and let the firearms ignite and explode?
...
The Firefox House is about ten miles away from the capital city. It is a desolate place with no villages in front and no shops in the back. There is no clear sign hanging, and there are garrisons guarding them all year round, so ordinary people cannot approach it. Anyone who wants to enter the Firefox House must hold Shangguan’s souvenir or documents.
The Ministry of War has many affairs under its jurisdiction, and officials are in charge.
The person in charge of the firearms was Chai Qiu, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War.
Before Zhao Yin could find him, Chai Qiu brought his men to the door to carry the thorns and apologize.
"The Grand Governor, the subordinates are not strict, so I ask the Grand Governor to punish him."
Chaiqiu brought the officers and the chief officer of the Fire Equipment Office, and carried two corpses to the Jinyiwei.
The officer and the chief officer were the people in charge of the firearms office affairs, and the two bodies were the spies that Zhao Yin was about to capture.
Zhao Yin said coldly: "Mr. Chai, what does this mean?"
Chai Qiu lowered his head and did not dare to face Zhao Yin's forcing eyes directly.
"These two have committed suicide because of their crimes."
Chai Qiu confessed that the two dead were both old craftsmen from the Firearms Floor, who happened to be responsible for the production of the new artillery. He probably knew what would happen after the Firearms flew to the Shenji Camp, and he committed suicide by taking poison without waiting for the incident.
Zhao Yin glanced at Shi Yong.
Shi Yong nodded, stepped forward and flipped over the corpse's eyelids, turned his head over, and inspected it in public.
The death of the two corpses was extremely ugly, with a distorted face and a painful expression. Ordinary people must have avoided it when they saw it. But seeing her as a little girl, she was so calm and distressed, but she frightened the seven-foot men of the Ministry of War and did not speak for a long time.
He thought to himself: Princess Mingguang is indeed as brave as the rumor said. Dongding Hou was really a wife. How could a woman be so unscrupulous to investigate the man's body?
Quiet.
As everyone stared at him, Yong stood up and looked at Zhao Yin for a while.
"Preliminary test, arsenic poisoning."
Zhao Yin looked at her, sneered, and looked at Chai Qiu with a blank expression.
"It's great to commit suicide in fear of crime. Can Mr. Chai know that I almost died in Shenji Camp today?"
Chaiqiu was so scared that he fought with his two fights, and his expression became decisive at a visible speed.
