Chapter 423: The Theft
"This is simple, wait for the next time this horse enters the palace, I will ask for a seal for you, and you can rest assured!"
Hearing that the school has expanded again, Zhao Yin nodded with satisfaction.
"Really?"
Hearing that he really wanted to ask for a seal for himself, Hou Qingli was surprised and delighted.
"When did this pony fool you?"
Zhao Yin patted his chest and promised.
"Great......!"
Hou Qingli jumped up happily, and it was almost enough to kiss Zhao Yin's face.
If she really became the squire of the Ministry of Education, it would really be a good thing to honor her ancestors.
"Master Pony, there have been some strange things in the arsenal recently, and my subordinates have thought about it again, and I think I should report it to you!"
Lin Wu frowned and hesitated for a long time before he spoke.
"What's the matter?"
Hearing that there was an accident in the arsenal, Zhao Yin hurriedly asked.
"A few days ago, the old Zhang Tou, who was in charge of the arsenal, came to me and said that the factory has been losing some worthless things recently, and they didn't care about it at first, but it happened several times, and they came to report it!"
Lin Wu handed over his hand.
"What the hell did you lose?"
Zhao Yin was stunned for a moment, then seemed to think of something, and hurriedly asked.
The arsenal is responsible for the production of firearms, which is extremely important, and if the technology is leaked, it will be broken!
"First I lost some scattered information, and Lao Zhangtou didn't care, thinking that he forgot where to put it, and then lost some **, but until he lost a ground bud, they became alert, and you were not in Chang'an, so they reported the matter to me!"
Lin Wu spoke carefully.
"First the information, then the **, and finally the ...... of the earth?"
Zhao Yin connected these things together, and then slammed the table, "Not good! Check it out at the Arsenal! ”
"Uh, what a ......!"
Lin Wu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the pony to take this matter so seriously, it was just some gadgets.
But looking at the anxious attitude of the colt, it seems that the matter is not small, so I can only follow!
"Zhao Yuma, what you lost is just something worthless, you just came back from the battle, don't you take a rest first?"
In the carriage, Lin Wu asked suspiciously.
"Do you know what's the most important thing in the Arsenal?"
Zhao Yin looked at him with a solemn face, and did not answer the rhetorical question.
"That's artillery, of course!"
Lin Wu didn't think about it, so he blurted out.
He had seen the power of artillery, and he had heard that the horse was able to triumph so quickly this time, also with the help of artillery.
This artillery is now only available in Datang, so this is definitely a priceless treasure.
"You're wrong......
However, for his answer, Zhao Yin shook his head, "The core of the arsenal is not these artillery and ground buds, but the technology for making artillery, if the technology is leaked, then the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”
"You mean ......!"
After Zhao Yin's decision, Lin Wu instantly understood, and his eyes widened unconsciously.
"Judging from the things lost in the arsenal, someone should have deliberately stolen the artillery and ground bud technology!"
Zhao Yin expressed his guess.
"Forgive me, I didn't even think of this, I thought it was a trivial matter, and I kept dragging it out and didn't check it!"
After Lin Wu listened, a cold sweat came down in an instant.
He really didn't expect that someone would be so bold and dare to steal the technology to make artillery, and this arsenal was in charge of him, and now that several days have passed, if it is really successfully developed, won't he escape the responsibility?
Zhao Yin ordered the carriage to move forward at full speed and arrived at the arsenal as fast as possible.
The arsenal was built outside the city, and it was heavily guarded, so it was difficult for ordinary people to come in and steal things, even if they were close.
"Master Pony, you're here!"
Seeing Zhao Yin enter the door, Lao Zhangtou hurriedly greeted him.
"I heard that something was lost in the factory recently, what happened?"
Zhao Yin didn't talk nonsense, and asked straight to the point.
"That's the case, the lost information is not the core information, it is used for apprentice training, there were more apprentices that day, I thought it was lost somewhere!"
"Then there was a long-term worker who came to report, saying that ** seemed to be missing a small bag, and I didn't care, but recently I lost a ground bud directly, and the old man realized that something was wrong, so he quickly sent someone to investigate, and reported to Lord Lin!"
Lao Zhangtou hurriedly told him everything he knew.
"Now that you've checked it, what clues can you find?"
Zhao Yin clasped his hands in front of his chest and asked lightly.
"Alas......! No, it's terrible to lose this ground bud, the old man hurriedly sent people to look around, and even the rat hole in the dormitory was dug up, and there was no one at all! ”
Lao Zhangtou sighed and said helplessly.
"Then do you think that the long-term workers and apprentices in the arsenal are suspected of committing crimes?"
Zhao Yin thought about it for a long time, and felt that this matter could not be done by outsiders, and he had to start from the inside.
But the workers of this arsenal were all former prisoners, and they were very loyal to him, and it should not be them, so he doubted the apprentices and long-term workers in his heart.
"Impossible, it is inevitable that the technology will leak, and anyone who enters the arsenal will not be able to remove the outside world from the outside world, regardless of whether they eat or live in the factory area!"
Lao Zhang looked at Zhao Yin steadily, patting his chest and guaranteeing.
"Then according to your meaning, these things that are lost should not be done by insiders?"
Hearing this, Zhao Yin's brows furrowed even tighter.
"Hmm!"
Old Zhang Tou nodded.
"If it's not an insider, who has access to these things?"
"Outsiders can't reach it at all, so the old decay is at a loss!"
Lao Zhangtou also frowned and thought about it, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and hurriedly said: "No, there are still some people who can access these things!" ”
"Who?"
"The army guarding the arsenal!"
"Hurry up and send someone to check the list of personnel on duty, and see if those personnel are on duty when there is a theft!"
"Yes!"
Lao Zhangtou hurriedly surrendered his order and went out with Lin Wu.
In less than an hour, the two of them returned, and there was a booklet in their hands.
"Look at ......!"
Lao Zhangtou pointed to the names on the booklet and said: "This is the guard duty schedule, and these thefts, the officers on duty are different, however, they are all the same captain!" ”
"Someone, arrest the captain, interrogate him strictly, and do it quietly and quietly!"
After Zhao Yin looked through the duty records, he immediately gave an order.
Now, they were only suspicious of the lieutenant, but if he hadn't done it, they would have made too much of a fuss, and they would only scare the real thief and let the real thief escape.
The development of artillery consumes a lot of financial resources, and if he really did it, there must be instructions behind the scenes, so be careful, and you can also find out the people behind the scenes.
"Yes!"
Lin Wu gave up his order, took the people and left, and Zhao Yin was also preparing to go back to the Horse Mansion.
Now that the goal has basically been determined, the rest depends on the **, he just needs to go back and wait.
