Yan Zhao's eyes flashed: "You mean - gunpowder!" ”

"That's right, it's gunpowder!" Zhao Yunrang nodded.

Nothing could have been so powerful except gunpowder to cause so much damage to the sluices!

This thief is very cunning, taking advantage of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the guards of the third treasury room to relax and blow up the sluice gate with gunpowder and rob Jiaozi Silver!

also put down the words of sowing discord!

From this, you can know that this is not an ordinary thief!

Yan Zhao said vigilantly: "How do you know? ”

Zhao Yunrang smiled: "If you are a thief, since the silver has already arrived, will you still think about provoking the relationship between the queen mother and the emperor?" ”

Yan Zhao shook his head, even if he was a Jiangyang thief, he might not have thought of this!

"So as the old saying goes, those who say right and wrong must be right and wrong, and this thief is by no means simply seeking wealth!"

"But the money is really lost!"

Zhao Yunrang thought for a while: "Let's not talk about silver first, this sluice gate is opened by gunpowder, but does ordinary gunpowder have such power?" ”

Yan Zhao thought for a moment: "No-you mean, this is gunpowder in the army?" ”

Zhao Yunrang smiled: "I didn't say it, this is what you said!" ”

Yan Zhao: "......"

This is highly likely.

The black powder used to make firecrackers is much less powerful than the gunpowder in the army!

Not enough to create such an explosion!

And the supreme body in charge of gunpowder is the Privy Council!

The current privy envoy of the Privy Council is the son of Qian Yu, the king of Wuyue, Qian Weiyan!

Because of Qian Yu's surrender, this Qian Weiyan has a very high status in the DPRK, otherwise he would not be in charge of such an important department.

However, the military power on weekdays is in the hands of the privy envoy Qian Weiyan.

"Gunpowder in the army?" Qian Weiyan laughed in the face of Yan Zhao and Zhao Yun, who came to investigate the case.

"There are records in the ordnance prison, you can check it!"

Sure enough, Qian Wei's arrogance is not unreasonable.

The data is detailed, and the gunpowder produced in the army has not been reduced or lost at all!

This clue, which was finally thought of, was actually broken like this.

The case is in a predicament for a while!

Even Li Yue'e was worried about Zhao Yunrang on the side!

Zhao Yun let himself return to Biluo Villa, because of this incident, he felt that it would be good to have a few carrier pigeons in King Zhou's mansion!

And this pigeon handover must be taken over by him personally from Li Yue'e, even if it is a little sixth son!

So Li Yue'e came with two pairs of carrier pigeons, and by the way, she also brought a few cucumbers.

In her words, the young master's is the young master's, and hers is hers.

This girl, I guess I forgot what Zhao Yunrang said before, even she is his.

Of course, at this time, how could Zhao Yunrang still think of a joke for a while!

Holding a cucumber, he gnawed on the cucumber skin piece by piece in a daze: "What's the matter?" ”

This military gunpowder is not less at all, but the destruction of this sluice gate is so powerful that it must be caused by military gunpowder!

Li Yue'e listened to Zhao Yunrang's question, and suddenly said: "Young master, although there is no shortage of gunpowder in this army, but listening to what the young master said, it is obviously not something that ordinary people can make, you might as well check the craftsmen of the ordnance supervisor!" ”

Zhao Yunrang's eyes suddenly lit up, jumped up, and hugged Li Yue: "That's right! How could I not have thought of it! ”

Li Yue's face was flushed, and she struggled slightly: "Young master, be careful of the cucumber in your hand!" ”

Zhao Yunrang also made a big red face and got carried away!

It's the first time to hug a girl so realistically!

Yes, really!

That's right, that's it - Zhao Yunrang chewed on the cucumber with a big click.

There is indeed no shortage of gunpowder, but those who make gunpowder are definitely professionals, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are experts of the imperial court.

I checked along this line, and the results came out immediately.

Armament Supervisor Master Ling Hun!

Since Laba was on vacation, Ling Hun had not been to the Ordnance Prison.

This is a great negligence, Qian Weiyan's old face is red!

A master ordnance supervisor like Ling Hun is not only in charge of military secrets, but also extremely dangerous.

Although there is no monitoring that can be carried with you at this time, it is inevitable to report to the ordnance supervisor as soon as you enter and leave the ordnance superintendent!

And once you want to leave Bianjing City, you have to report to the Ministry of War!

And once the number of days of leave or rest is exceeded, the ordnance supervisor must also report to the Ministry of War and the Privy Council in time!

The system is good!

However, as the year approached, no one carried it out!

The note asking for leave is now in the hands of Zhao Yunrang and Yan Zhao.

My daughter is seriously ill and takes a three-day leave off!

Daughter is seriously ill?

This Ling Hun has a daughter?

"That's right, I have a daughter, I heard that she is thirteen or fourteen years old, and she is in the cardamom years!"

Yan Zhao still knows the information of these people.

When I arrived at Ling Hun's house, there was really no one, the stove was cold, and it was obvious that there had been no one to live in for many days!

Zhao Yunrang and Yan Zhao searched the inside and outside of the house carefully, and finally found a scroll of drawings from the hole in the earthen kang!

Recognizing the handwriting, the faces of the two of them changed: saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal turned out to be the ratio of gunpowder in the army!

This is an absolute military secret!

You must know that since this gunpowder was invented by those Taoist priests who made alchemy, it has been explored little by little for many years, and this material is no secret.

But this ratio is absolutely confidential, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is top secret!

The stability of gunpowder and the power of gunpowder explosion almost all depend on the proportion!

In addition to this, there were a few drafts, looking at the appearance, cold sweat trickled down the foreheads of the two of them.

Rockets, fireballs, and thistles, these are all firearms equipped by the forbidden army, and they are all top secrets in the ordnance prison.

Bringing the drawings out of the ordnance prison without permission is the sin of killing the head!

This Ling is a master of the ordnance superintendent, and it is impossible for him not to know these rules!

Yan Zhao said angrily: "It seems that this Ling Hun is suspected of treason!" ”

Zhao Yunrang shook his head: "Treason, that's not necessarily, what do you think this is?" ”

Yan Zhao saw that the kang was full of girls' embroidery, makeup, etc., and even some girls' toys.

"If it's a defection, then these things of his daughter should also be taken away, you said, he loves his daughter very much!"

"Don't forget, from Laba to now, he has plenty of time to arrange all this!"

"According to what you said, Ling Hun loves his daughter like his life, these daughters' things will not be thrown like this, the makeup is all ajar, obviously, his daughter was in a hurry when she left here!"

"In addition, looking at these drawings, stuffed in the kang hole, obviously not trying to take them away, if you want to flatter people, wouldn't it be good to have these things?"

"What do you mean?" Yan Zhao frowned.

"But we have to find someone to see it again!"

Zhao Yunrang didn't dare to draw conclusions like this, so let's find someone and talk about it.

It's hard to find someone in Bianliang City!

I can't even find 100,000 taels of silver, and in the huge Bianliang City, how easy is it to find the father and daughter who are deliberately hidden?

One day, two days, three days!

For three days in a row, the city was full of ropes, and when I saw the fifth day of the new year, I still found nothing!

There was an oppressive atmosphere throughout the capital.

It seems that God has also felt it, and has sprinkled a snow one after another!

The search still yielded no results.

According to the arrangement of Kaifeng Mansion, the sieve was generally passed several times, but still nothing!

Since Chinese New Year's Eve, there has been a curfew for several days!

On weekdays, the Qinglou Song House is the most prosperous, but these days it is a lot of suffering.

But no one dared to say anything!

However, under such high pressure, I also got a little useful information.

This Ling Hun is upright and extremely irritable, known as "fire and thunder".

Before he took leave from the ordnance supervisor and went home, he also quarreled with Zhai Hengda, another master of the ordnance superintendent!

Yan Zhao and Zhao Yunrang found Zhai Heng!

Zhai Heng hesitated, unwilling to admit it.

Zhao Yunrang smiled: "Master Zhai, I don't know what you think in your heart, but this matter has already reached the heavens, and even the deputy envoy of military training has been killed, if you don't make it clear, I and Lord Yan will report to the next level, and you won't be able to say it clearly!" ”

The words were so slow and logical that even Yan Zhao felt a little chilly.

Yan Zhao couldn't help but glance at Zhao Yunrang in surprise, there is still such a question?

Do you say it or not?

If you don't say it, fine, that's what you did!

Zhao Yunrang has such an attitude, don't say anything "you have the right to remain silent", it's all!

simply tell Zhai Heng directly, you don't have the right to be silent!
