Chapter 145, Weapon General

Empress Dowager Zhang said meaningfully: "He hates the mourning family, and the mourning family knows." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoSo this time... The mourning family gave him a chance. "Of course, not to give him a chance to move himself down, but to give him a chance to make mistakes.

Lord Zheng returned to Beijing, which was an opportunity for Su Xin and an opportunity for Empress Dowager Zhang.

Aunt Yun Yao didn't know what Empress Dowager Zhang was talking about, and Gonggong Li didn't know if she understood it, so she only smiled and said in a low voice: "Our mother is the wisest......

Empress Dowager Zhang returned to the study and summoned Xiao Sima Li Hongliang non-stop.

Li Hongliang was Zhang Haidong's subordinate and Empress Dowager Zhang's right-hand man, who was in charge of the production of weapons and had recently been busy expanding military supplies.

Empress Dowager Zhang said: "Youzhou Thorn History has already transported the ore to the workshop on the outskirts of Chang'an City, have you found the person you are looking for by the mourning family?"

Li Hongliang said: "The minister searched for the people on the list one by one, and found that most of them had disappeared, and the minister sent people to search all over the place, but only got one answer, they had moved away more than three months ago!"

Empress Dowager Zhang's face suddenly changed drastically: "How is it possible, these people are all good craftsmen engaged in weapon manufacturing, and their family areas are far apart, how can they all move away at once? You have carefully inquired about these people?"

"Yes, these people's neighbors and neighbors have sent people to inquire carefully, but no one knows where they are. ”

"In other words, they discussed it together and disappeared at the same time?"

"Yes!"

"How is this possible! No one knows the details of these people except for the imperial court!"

Li Hongliang said again: "The Queen Mother is angry, fortunately, among these fifteen people, there is still one person who was found by us......"

Empress Dowager Zhang immediately asked, "Who?"

"This person's name is Tao Gong, his ancestors were good at making war armor, and later the first emperor ruled the country, and the demand for war armor decreased, and his ancestors returned to their hometown, after a few decades......"

Empress Dowager Zhang interrupted him impatiently: "These mourners know, you pick up the key points!"

"Yes, his ancestors have gone, and now he is the only one left...... The queen mother, the minister knew that this person was very important, so he immediately brought the person to the capital, and now he is waiting outside the palace. ”

Empress Dowager Zhang said: "Pass!"

Immediately afterwards, a man of medium stature, dark skin, bright eyes, and two mustaches at the corners of his mouth looked around the door for a while, and then was invited in by Gonggong Li.

Tao Gong was almost dried outside, and as soon as he entered the hall, the cool air hit his face, and the smile on his face became even stronger.

A majestic female voice came from above: "You are Tao Gong?"

"Yes! It's the villain!" Tao Gong Shili, as he spoke, the two mustaches on his lips curled, he looked up slightly and looked directly above, and saw that Empress Dowager Zhang's fresh eyebrows were bright, graceful and luxurious, and he suddenly felt his heart bloom.

Empress Dowager Zhang touched Tao Gong's offensive eyes, but she didn't feel that her prestige had been violated at all, but turned a blind eye to it and raised her eyes slightly, and slowly spoke: "Do you know where Zheng Qiu, Chu Shigao, and Kong Chang are now?"

According to records, there was a saying in the previous dynasty that 'fifteen to join the army, eighty to return', but the first emperor in order to show mercy, unified the country for 50 years, soldiers who were not in the establishment were allowed to dismount and return. Of course, this also includes many capable people from the people.

For example, Tao Gong, the ancestor was good at making battle armor.

Each set of armor is often hundreds, and is divided into collar leaves, body leaves, heart leaves and axillary leaves, but this is only the most ordinary armor, although the defense ability of this armor is strong, but the wear is bulky, resulting in a great decline in marching ability, Tao Gong's father made the armor is very fine and light, he has invented the 'sleeve armor', 'crotch armor' and 'Mingguang armor'.

As for the few people mentioned in the mouth of Empress Dowager Zhang, such as Chu Shigao, the ancestor studied chariots.

Tao Gong removed the smile on his face, and said respectfully: "Back to the Queen Mother, the villain doesn't know where they went...... But... A few months ago, the villain had received a treasure, which was given by a middle-aged man, the man was in a hurry, and the villain did not pay attention to his appearance, but what he said made the villain dare not be careless......"

Listen to him, does he mean that someone has found him before this?

No wonder everyone is gone.

Empress Dowager Zhang and Li Hongliang glanced at each other, and Li Hongliang took the initiative to say to Empress Dowager Zhang: "When Weichen found him, he was hiding in an old temple, and it seemed that he was fleeing for his life. Weichen didn't dare to be careless, so he brought someone to see the Queen Mother. ”

Empress Dowager Zhang said: "Is someone trying to kill you, why do you want to run?"

The villain thought to himself, that man did not know where he came from, and if he was a traitor to the party, he would have committed the crime of killing his head...... So I don't dare to conspire with him. ”

Tao Gong respectfully said: "He asked the villain to promise him and serve him in the future - if the Queen Mother doesn't believe in the villain, she can ask someone to bring the evidence up now, and the evidence will be placed outside the palace, and the Queen Mother will ask someone to move it up and take a look!"

Gonggong Li bent over and hurriedly walked outside the hall, and sure enough, he saw two guards carrying a brocade box, and waved his hand: "Carry it in!"

After the guards carried into the hall, they opened the box, and moved out a finely carved Xiu (xiu four sounds) jade Ganoderma lucidum red beads Ruyi and hoof lily ornaments, this jade is bright and translucent, the whole body is yellow, and the shape of the Ganoderma lucidum at both ends of Ruyi gradually becomes dark brown, jewels, jade run Huaguang, it is really more dazzling than gold...

Empress Dowager Zhang couldn't help but stand up, carefully looked at Ruyi in front of her, and asked, "This is?"

"Back to the Queen Mother, this is the treasure that the man gave to the villain, and the man took this as a condition to let the villain die for him in the future. Tao Gong replied respectfully.

This carving is worth a lot of money.

Empress Dowager Zhang narrowed her eyes dangerously, and said in a strange manner: "Li Hongliang, is this matter serious?"

The little Sima Li Hongliang on the side immediately kowtowed and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, Weichen has checked, this treasure is not fake..."

"The mourning family is asking him about it!" Empress Dowager Zhang slapped her palm on the table.

"It's... Weichen doesn't know either, but Niangniang, now that Zheng Qiu and Kong Chang are gone, I think what this person said should be right. Niangniang would rather believe it than believe it!" Li Hongliang said with fright.

"Okay, then you can do it!" she pointed to Tao Gong.

"Who is that man? Do you remember the sound of the voice? If you dare to say a lie...... Mourning ...... I'll throw you into the snake cave!" Empress Dowager Zhang no longer had the usual dignified and noble appearance, half of the mansion leaned down, looked at his eyes and said viciously.

Obviously, hearing that these people were missing instantly touched the anger of Empress Dowager Zhang. She couldn't wait to find out the dozen or so people at once, immediately find the mastermind behind them, and pull his tendons to skin him! Who kind of person actually ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall, and dared to let them die for him!
