Chapter 323: People are not as good as heaven
This kind of widening the spacing to cover up the lack of individuals is worthless, but in practical application, it is still very deceptive.
Especially on this day, the warehouse is already underlit, and unless repeated inventory is carried out, it is normal to be deceived in the past - it is actually a bit far-fetched to plant the charge of 'false errand' on Luo Jing's head.
It's just that......
Who made him one of the hundred households of Nanzhen Fusi, and he also worshipped Father-in-law Xia as his godfather?
Sun Shaozong actually received an envoy from Dai's father-in-law, if he didn't take this Luo Jing to open the knife, who else could he take the knife?
And Zhu Shan only wants to protect himself now, so naturally he has no intention of saying anything for Luo Jing.
After a few words on the side of Lu Yuan, he cautiously inquired: "According to the clues found by Sun Qianhu, Du Ning is related to this gun theft case, there should be no mistake - but how did those two guns get out?" ”
"That's right!"
When Lu Yuan heard this, he also hurriedly said: "There is a team of [12] officers and soldiers guarding the gate all the year round, if one or two of them have problems, maybe it is possible, but so many people will not all be his comrades, right?!" ”
"That's why he's trying to figure it out!"
Sun Shaozong said, led everyone to the corpse again, pointed to the calluses and blisters on Du Ning's hands and said: "This trace is obviously grinding out recently, but just moving a few wooden shelves shouldn't grind out a blister, right?" ”
Lu Yuan leaned in and looked at it carefully, and said with uncertainty: "This looks like the traces left by those new apprentices when they first started to learn the craft." ”
"It's definitely not heavy work like a sledgehammer!"
Zhu Shan added on the side: "If that's the case, there should be more calluses on the fingers, which is more like grinding and cutting cast iron parts......"
Halfway through the words, Zhu Shan's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration, and he blurted out excitedly: "I understand, he used the kung fu of checking the library every day to disassemble the gun into parts and transport it out - it is estimated that it took several days before and after this guy, no wonder he had to use a trick!" ”
"That's right!"
Sun Shaozong nodded and said, "I just found out that those wooden frames that had been used for their hands and feet were refixed with some fresh wood chips, and these wood chips are very similar to the material of the butt. ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his finger and pointed to the air window and said, "In addition, the iron fence of the air window has been rubbed by a hard object recently. ”
"If my expectations are correct, the disassembled parts should be thrown out of the gap in the air window first, and then Du Ning's comrades in the guards will wait for the opportunity to transport them!"
"In this way, you can avoid the risk of being seen by others during the body search."
At this time, naturally no one would doubt Sun Shaozong's reasoning ability, so Lu Yuan and Jia Shanyao were both in good spirits, and they asked for orders in unison to interrogate the officers and soldiers in charge of guarding the warehouse.
But Zhu Shan's face looked a little cloudy.
Sun Shaozong's heart sank, and he immediately asked, "What did Master Zhu think of?" ”
"This ......"
Zhu Shan swallowed his saliva vigorously, and said with a sad face: "The afternoon before yesterday, Zhu Ning went to the Ordnance Prison to submit an official document. ”
"What?!"
Everyone was shocked, if Du Ning took the opportunity to present the official document and had already sent the gun out of the Gunpowder Bureau, it would be difficult to find it again!
Sun Shaozong immediately said: "Zhu Jianzheng, please immediately find out the officials and entourage who went out with Du Ning yesterday; Jia Shanyao, you accompany Lord Lu to interrogate the officers and soldiers guarding here, and find out where those parts are being transported as soon as possible! ”
His reaction was not unpleasant, but ......
Two quarters of an hour later, according to the confession of Du Ning's subordinates and domestic servants, after presenting the official documents, Du Ning acted alone for a while, and it was not until the evening that he met again with the convoy outside the south gate.
As for where he went during this period, he has no clue for the time being.
Half an hour later, according to the confessions of the comrades in the guards, the parts were smuggled out in five times and returned to Dunin.
As for who exactly Dunin intends to hand over these parts, it is unknown for the time being.
The only person who can give an answer may be Du Ning himself - and this is probably the biggest reason why he wants to commit suicide!
"My lord, what shall we do now?"
After getting two bad news in a row, Jia Shanyao was like a frosted eggplant, and he no longer saw the spring breeze when he went out of the city.
"Back to Beijing!"
Sun Shaozong said categorically: "Take all the criminals and witnesses, and go back to Beijing to continue the investigation!" ”
But no matter how decisive he is on the surface, he is actually up and down in his heart, if those two guns are still in the city, it will be fine, if they are already out of the capital......
That's really no different from 'looking for a needle in a haystack'!
With Sun Shaozong's order, more than 200 dragon guards were divided into half and assembled outside the city gate of the gunpowder bureau, preparing to follow Sun Shaozong back to Beijing.
As for the remaining half, under the command of Yang Licai, he temporarily took over the Nanzhen Fusi and the Shenji Battalion, and supported the internal and external defense of the Gunpowder Bureau - the bigwigs above talked about face, but in fact, they cared most about Lizi!
Now that he is so prosperous, if he doesn't get enough benefits, how can Father-in-law Dai be satisfied even if he doesn't say it?
It's just that the fat of the Gunpowder Bureau, although it has been sandwiched to the mouth, if you can't find the two muskets, I'm afraid you may not be able to swallow it in your stomach.
Seeing that the team was ready to be ready, Sun Shaozong turned over and got on his horse, and was about to give the order to open, when suddenly several horses galloped over, dressed as dragon guards on the left and right, and the leader among them was a young little eunuch.
And this little eunuch, Sun Shaozong looked a little familiar, as if he had seen Dai Quan a few times.
So Sun Shaozong hurriedly raised his voice and asked: "My father-in-law is here, dare to ask, but what instructions does Commander Dai have?" ”
The eunuch obviously also recognized Sun Shaozong, and while still urging the horse forward, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Under the command of Your Majesty, please ask Sun Qianhu to immediately take down Du Ning, the deputy superintendent of the Gunpowder Bureau, without the slightest delay!" ”
Sun Shaozong was stunned when he heard this, looked back at the corpse tied to the shuttle, then threw off the horse, went up to help the little eunuch hold the reins, and asked: "Your Majesty passed on this message, didn't you already know that this Du Ning is the mastermind of the gun theft?" ”
The little eunuch was also stunned when he heard this, and then smiled and said: "It turns out that the adult has found out the truth, and it is indeed worthy of the name of 'divine judgment' - but I don't know where that Du Ning is now?" ”
"Well, that's the corpse lying on the car."
Sun Shaozong pointed at it casually, and saw that the little eunuch's face changed suddenly, and hurriedly explained: "He committed suicide last night, in order to cover up the truth - father-in-law, dare to ask Your Majesty where did you know that he was the culprit in this case?" ”
These few sentences are not very easy to understand.
Therefore, the little eunuch was stunned for a long time, until Sun Shaozong asked for the third time, then he stood on his tiptoes and whispered in Sun Shaozong's ear: "Actually, it's ......."
Sun Shaozong was speechless when he heard this, looked back at Na Du Ning's corpse, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart: This is really too clever to calculate the organs, but in the end, they only missed Qingqing's life!
If you really want to talk about it, this Du Ning is indeed a remnant party, but it is not the remnant party of Prince Yizhong, but the remnant party of Goryeo!
At the beginning, the Goryeo Kingdom and the Great Zhou Dynasty were tense, and many spies who were proficient in Han culture were selected to secretly infiltrate the hinterland of the Great Zhou Dynasty and wait for an opportunity to spy on intelligence.
Later, when the Goryeo Kingdom was destroyed, these spies became rootless, and most of them gradually forgot their original tasks and regarded themselves as ordinary people of the Great Zhou.
But there are also some people who have extended their loyalty to the Korean state - this Dunin is one of them.
Last month, he happened to hear that the North Korean mission had arrived in the capital, and when he heard that the North Korean state seemed to have a heart of disobedience, Du Ning's 'heart to serve the country' suddenly burst into flames.
So he secretly bribed a guard who owed a large amount of gambling debts, smuggled out two muskets, and took advantage of the opportunity to present the official document to quietly send them to the Korean mission.
In order to make sure that the matter would not be leaked, he even directed a suicide farce!
However......
This Du Ning risked his life and stole the heavy weapon of the militarism, but he turned his face and was handed over to the court by the North Korean ambassador!
