As soon as Gu Chen's words came out, Master Gao chuckled in his heart, and his heartbeat almost stopped.

Didn't Gu Chenmo know anything, so he deliberately brought the matter to His Majesty, so he came to search the mansion in a bright and bright way, right?

"Search, but be careful, don't lose the account books of the tall man's house." When Gu Chen said this, he looked at the tall man's eyes, which were quite meaningful.

The young general answered, and hurriedly took someone to do it again.

Seeing this, the county lord of Qinghe immediately jumped up in a hurry: "What are you doing?" Are you looking for someone or looking for something, how can you look for it in people's study and storeroom? Stop me! ”

However, no one paid attention to her even if she screamed and cut her throat.

"Mrs. Gao, you better stop for a while, you know that I Gu Chen is not easy to mess with, but you still want to break ground on my head, then don't blame me for being rude." Gu Chen said, and walked in the direction of the warehouse, "I want to take a good look at what is unsightly in the tall man's house." ”

"Commander Gu, Gu Chen!" Master Gao hurriedly followed, but his legs were short, and he couldn't catch up with anyone after running for a long time, so he could only pant hard in the back.

I don't know if it's angry or urgent.

Gu Chen walked all the way to the treasury unimpeded, and when the young general who was responsible for searching the treasury saw him coming, he immediately hugged his fists and said: "Commander Gu, this tall man is just a small civil official, but there are many treasures in this treasury that are not in the treasury, look at it, isn't this night pearl the one that the envoys of the Northern Regions paid tribute to before?" I remember Your Majesty's one wasn't that big, and here, here......"

The little general led Gu Chen into the big treasury, and counted all the things in the treasury like a few treasures, because he was fortunate enough to sort out the treasury with the household department, so he was still clear about the things in the treasury, especially those things provided by foreign envoys, which were registered in the household department.

"My lord, according to my subordinates, there are still many things in this tall mansion that don't even have the treasury, and the amount is very considerable, it is better to call the household department to come over and check it together, maybe there are some unsightly private accounts here." The young general glanced at Gu Chen and said.

Gu Chen nodded: "According to your meaning, you go to the household department and ask Cai Shangshu to come over in person." ”

He couldn't trust anyone else.

"Yes, my subordinates will go." The little general took the order, quickly left the high mansion, rode a horse, and quickly ran towards the household yamen.

The household department also moved quickly, and in less than a quarter of an hour, Cai Shangshu came over with two waiters around him and an assistant who was in charge of cleaning up the account books.

"Master Cai, you came just in time, we just found a few account books in the study, you just need to take a look, what kind of accounts are these." Gu Chen said, handing over the thick account books in his hand.

Cai Shangshu took it and looked through it with several subordinates around him.

A young general was very discerning and made a pot of tea for a few adults who were checking the accounts, and let them watch while drinking.

Over there, the Gao couple who were stopped by the generals were already pale, and they wanted to rush in to stop Gu Chen and the others, but they couldn't break free from the soldiers' blockade.

"Gu Chen, aren't you here to find someone? What are you doing in my books? What right do you have to go through my books? I'm going to sue you, I'm going to sue you......"

However, Gu Chen just sat there drinking tea leisurely from beginning to end, ignoring his clamor at all, and even less caring about his threat, he only occasionally glanced at the people in the household department, and saw that one of them had a solemn face, and his heart suddenly had a bottom.

This tall man is jumping up and down like this now, and it is unsightly to think of these account books, and the treasures of that treasury are even more suspicious.

Those things, if he remembers correctly, most of them were paid tribute by foreign envoys, and those in the Gao family's treasury were better than those obtained by the emperor, in other words, the leftovers that were picked by the Gao family were given to the emperor.

If the emperor knew about this, he didn't know how the emperor would protect him.

Thinking like this, the light in Gu Chen's eyes became deeper and deeper.

After about half an hour, the left servant of the household department spoke: "My lord, this account book is all the documents that those foreign envoys paid tribute to Donglin in the past, but as far as the minister knows, most of them are not in the treasury accounts. ”

The book in the right waiter's hand was almost turned over, he raised his head, and said with a serious face: "My lord, this is some gift money that Lord Gao received in previous years, just looking at the accounts, there are millions of taels, which is several times more than the ones that Qian Shankun was greedy for before. ”

Cai Shangshu tightened his brows, and at this moment, a young general came in from the outside again, arched his hand at the adults sitting there, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, Commander Gu, my subordinates found a secret passage behind the rockery in the garden, and when I opened it, I saw that there were many weapons hidden inside. ”

When everyone heard this, they actually hid their weapons privately, and they immediately stood up in unison.

"How many?" Gu Chen asked.

"The subordinates are carrying out, and there are about one hundred and fifty-eight boxes that have been lifted out so far, and it is said that there are still inside." The young general said, afraid that they still didn't know the variety of weapons inside, so he added, "There are firearms in there." ”

When the few people in the household department heard that there were still firearms, they immediately couldn't sit still.

"Commander Gu, let's go and take a look, this private possession of firearms is not a trivial matter." Cai Shangshu said anxiously. Bean Book City

Gu Chen stood up and took the lead in walking out.

Lord Gao didn't feel that the Gao family was finished until this time.

He stood there sweating profusely, only to feel that his legs were weak, and then his whole body went limp.

Mrs. Gao was stunned for a while, then jumped up, pounced on him and tore Lord Gao, and shouted, "How can there be firearms at home, what the hell is going on?" You say? ”

Originally, if it was found that he was just greedy for some silver, according to His Majesty's temperament, as long as the silver was returned to the treasury, His Majesty would be able to give it a light sentence, but if there were still firearms hidden, it would not be a small crime.

Donglin's control over gunpowder has always been very strict, and those weapons are not allowed to be privately built by outsiders, let alone firearms, except for the ordnance department of the military department licensed by the state.

If the number of private collections reaches a certain amount, even if the capital crime is exempted, the living crime cannot be escaped.

Therefore, at first glance, when she heard that there were still firearms, Mrs. Gao was going crazy, she only knew that Lord Gao was greedy for some silver, how could she know that things could evolve into such a field.

Moreover, it was only now that she realized that Gu Chen was here to search for someone, he was clearly calculating, and he was here to check on their unsightly things.

On the other hand, Gu Chen didn't care what the Gao family and his wife were thinking, he only knew that after today, the Gao family was completely finished, and the king of Changle County wanted to use the Gao family as a pioneer, and this move was afraid that it would fail.

The group came to the outside of the rockery in the back garden, and several soldiers guarding outside saw Gu Chen and the others coming, and saluted them one after another: "Commander Gu, my lords." ”

From the cave of the rockery, hundreds of boxes were moved out one after another, and those boxes were opened, Gu Chen and the others saw before they got closer, those were all good weapons, and the firearms and weapons were separated to the other side, which was also very spectacular at first glance.

"This ...... That's too much, isn't it still the end of the move? Cai Shang Shujian was stunned, when he went to visit the armory of the Ministry of War, he was not so surprised.

In the mansion of a second-class official who has no real power, but there is such a large number of weapons and firearms hidden, is this a rebellion?

Gu Chen walked to a box, reached out and picked up a crossbow, played with it for a while, and wrinkled his eyebrows: "This crossbow is very similar to the batch I newly handed over to the military department." ”

So saying, he put the arrow on the string and fired it into the distant woods.

After a whoosh, everyone's breath stopped.

"This crossbow is so powerful, Commander Gu, this tall man is amazing, even such a new weapon can be made, and it looks no different from those in the military department." The left waiter of the household department stepped forward and said.

Gu Chen put the crossbow back in the box and said lightly: "No, this crossbow is the old one, and the power is much worse than the ones I newly built." ”

Just now he tested the range, and it was far less than the one he had newly built.

Therefore, he concluded that these should be the old versions before Qin Niang's change.

Not only does the Gao family have firearms, but also the old repeater diagram in Tang Wan's hand before?

It seems that this Tang Wan is really not simple, she took refuge in Song Huai, and at the same time copied a copy of the crossbow diagram in her hand to the king of Changle County, she was able to play with the two giants vying for power in Beijing and China, she was also amazing.

Even he couldn't help but look at Tang Wan twice.

"Old?" Cai Shangshu was dumbfounded.

He hadn't seen the old version of the repeater before, but he was lucky enough to see the new version once, but he didn't try it, he just remembered that the style was about the same.

"Yes, the old one." Gu Chen's eyes were deep, and the corners of his lips hooked up a mocking arc, no wonder they wanted to catch Qin Niang to draw pictures for them, it turned out that they themselves knew that there were great drawbacks in this old version.

As soon as the new version came out, many people had seen its power, so they wanted to get the new version of the drawings.

It's just that the new version of the drawings was modified by Qin Niang, and few people know about this matter, and how did the Gao family and the people behind the Gao family know?

Gu Chen narrowed his eyes, it seemed that there was a mole around him!

"These weapons are also anti-manufacturing, not flowing out of the military department." Gu Chen inspected those weapons, and then looked at the batch of firearms, "And these firearms, it seems that they are smuggled goods, and there is no gold seal of the government on them at all." ”

It's not that it flows out of the military department, that is, there is a very large place for privately made weapons and firearms behind the Gao family.

"These things will be sent to the military department back, I will go to the palace, and I will work hard for you to follow the inventory here to see what other numbers are not right." After Gu Chen finished explaining, he strode out.

Cai Shangshu and the others naturally didn't dare to slack off, but with so many firearms, it was not possible for the tall family to smuggle them into the capital.
