The clouds that had been gathering for several days finally gradually dissipated after a large number of criminals were arrested.

The information provided by Great is useful, but not very useful.

The other party has obviously made a plan for the arrest of some people, and in fact, from the moment the county seat of Mihara was blocked, the other party had already taken measures to deal with it.

The effect is there, but not very good.

Gao Ju was caught, spit out some useful things, and then caught other people, spit out other useful things, and after several days of arrest and pursuit, as the criminals were arrested one by one, everything seemed much more dull.

The county seat of Sanyuan is no longer forbidden to leave the city, the caravans have returned to the past, the big market is still lively, and the streets are still full of people coming and going.

A few days of lockdown, coupled with those big moves, did not have much impact on Sanyuan.

Life still has to go on, and they have nothing to lose.

"Your Majesty, according to the confessions of a number of criminals, there are a total of thirteen criminals in this case, one of whom committed suicide in fear of crime, nine were arrested, and the remaining three are still being pursued, and according to the confessions of these criminals, they were bewitched by a middle-aged man who called himself the fifth master to do this case, and then a series of actions, including the melting of gold and other things, were all done by this fifth master.

And they also said that the gold handed over to the other party was not much less, and they also inquired and said that it was normal wear and tear, but the fifth master disappeared in Sanyuan, and the minister sent people to chase him for several days, but there was no trace of the other party. The case was basically solved, and Zhang Xingcheng finally returned to Chang'an to personally report the case.

Now Zhang Xingcheng's role is not much, and all that remains is to pursue and post national notices to arrest him, but there is no guarantee whether he can be caught.

And the other party has money on him, and the world is so big, if he really wants to run, he will run out almost early in the past few days.

As for the fifth master, it is obvious that he has another purpose, but what is the purpose?

"It's better not to kill than to kill by mistake!" After a long time, Li Yuanji explained softly.

After all, it is the sin of the Zhu clan, once it is killed by mistake, it is a hundred and ten lives, although no one dares to say himself, but Li Yuanji did not expect others to say that he did not want to kill by mistake, so that's it, there is no reason.

"No!" Zhang Xingcheng responded and did not continue.

"What about gold? Did you find out the way here? Li Yuanji turned his head and asked Ma Wu.

"There are some clues, and they are currently being verified." Ma Wu nodded.

"Then go ahead, I want to see who dares to break ground on my head so boldly."

The alert was lifted, but that was only under the circumstances.

The hunt for fugitives and the investigation of the dens where the gold was melted are still going on in secret, and the outside world only knows that people have been caught, but they don't know that this is a case within a case, and what has been traced before is only a few scratches.

……

Yazhou!

An army of 40,000 has come down from the mountains, and after two years of preparation, they can already withstand the harsh environment of Tibet.

After Li Jing returned from his work in Chang'an, he immediately convened a military conference.

first listened to some of the things that happened during the time he left, and then told him again about the order he received in Chang'an, about the theft of Du Ruhui's tomb, Li Jing did not say much, because it had nothing to do with the war.

"No matter who you are, this time the old man will definitely behead you under the horse!" Looking at the direction where Tubo was, Li Jing muttered with a serious face.

The previous sneak attack was actually more appropriate to say that the Tang Army deliberately designed them.

Because that time, the baggage team did not transport grenades, but boxes with grenades, and there was nothing in them, even if they really missed, the Tubo people still couldn't get anything.

After this battle, Li Jing became more confident.

However, there is more than that, Li Jing went to Chang'an to report on his work, and when he came back, he did not come back empty-handed.

"General, this ......" opened the camp tent, pushed open the box, and saw the mini pocket version of the guys inside, and the deputy general Gao Yang looked confused.

"The latest development, haven't you been shouting that we don't have enough firepower? His Majesty was also worried about this, and when the old man came back this time, he brought a thousand corpses. Li Jing smiled slightly, it was really hard to forget the shock and joy when he saw this thing for the first time.

"But that's too small, isn't it? In the past, one shell could be solved, but with this, I am afraid that it will take two or three, doesn't this make it clear that it is dragging down logistics? "Gao Yang is really incomprehensible, what are you doing with such a small thing?

Li Jing rolled his eyes and said, "This thing is not as unbearable as you said, the power is a little smaller, but we can't underestimate this guy, for us, she is far more useful than those big guys." ”

This is the equipment specially researched by the Academy of Sciences for the Yazhou garrison, how can it be useless? Although there have been no field experiments.

But that still didn't affect Li Jing's love for it, especially after watching a complete set of demonstrations, his heart was even more ecstatic.

If there was still a little worry about defeating Tibet before, now this worry is gone.

"Move out and have a demonstration!" Just talking and not doing, it is inevitable that it will be impossible to gain the trust of others, especially the army, if you don't give the soldiers some confidence, it is difficult for them to pin their trust on this thing, Li Jing waved his hand, and the accompanying forbidden army quickly moved a few boxes from the tent.

In the clearing, several pack horses were playing with their hooves boringly, and a special shelf was placed on their backs, that is, the saddle was replaced by a bow-shaped shelf, and the two sides were used to store goods.

This thing has now become popular in Yazhou, and it is very inconvenient for carriages and horses here, although the transportation volume is large.

However, this single-horse mode of transportation is obviously more suitable for the situation here, and there is no requirement for road conditions, as long as the horse can go, the materials can be transported.

The soldiers of the forbidden army skillfully placed two boxes on both sides, and then fixed them with ropes, there were not many boxes, but there were also many of them, there were eight boxes, a total of four war horses.

As is often seen here, the generals did not find anything new.

Once it is fixed, it is natural to move on to the next step of the exercise.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers of the forbidden army quickly dismantled the rope, took off the box, and then opened it quickly and took out the equipment inside.

A box is only about two steps long, that is, less than two meters, and there are many pipes inside.

However, a miraculous scene began to appear, the tubes made of steel could be connected together in just one breath, and without any assistance, and could be firmly connected, and it was difficult to be broken.

After a short period of effort, a ballista-like equipment was displayed in front of everyone's eyes.

From the time the box was removed to the time it was assembled, it took only more than 20 breaths, and the speed was simply amazing.

But that's not the end of it, after all, the hollow tube is not heavy, and trying to pull the cowhide band away may cause the entire shelf to fall back.

The two forbidden soldiers simply sat directly on the ground, facing the shelf, pulling the shelf tightly with both hands, and using manpower to prevent it from retreating.

The stone acts as a cannonball, and one person pulls the cowhide band, aims, fires, and the stone reaches an open space nearly 400 paces away.

"This ......" This time it was their turn to be shocked, and they couldn't help but curiously step forward and touch it for a while, and even went directly to break it, but the connection did not loosen in the slightest.

"General, this is the latest mountain cannon, although the range and power are not as good as ordinary bomb trucks, but it is better than flexible and lightweight, the troops can be quickly assembled for attack or defense, and then can also be quickly recovered and transferred in a short time. Its maximum range on flat ground is 410 paces, and if it is mountainous and occupies a high place, the range will be longer. And this kind of mountain artillery has another characteristic, his ammunition is not too particular, although it is a special ammunition, but if the logistics can not keep up, the grenades equipped by soldiers can also be used, but the power will be less. ”

"How to dismantle?" Gao Yang couldn't believe it, if what he said was true, it would be a lot of money, such a convenient thing means that when the troops get there, the artillery support can get there, and the forward troops don't have to wait at all.

The forbidden soldier in charge of the drill pointed to a protruding origin, picked up a branch on the ground at random, pressed it, and then directly disassembled it in half.

Gao Yang felt that this thing seemed to be too amazing, and he couldn't help but try it.

It seems to be a bit handy, but this does not prevent him from disassembling or assembling it together, but it will take a little longer, and if you practice for half a day, it is basically not a problem to be proficient in disassembly and assembly.

But since there is a miniature version of the bomb truck, how can there be no rocket launcher as a big killer?

Don't you see how many boxes are still moving?

The assembly of rocket artillery is slightly more cumbersome, but it is also very fast.

After seeing the mini version of the mountain artillery, everyone has no contempt for this mini version of the rocket artillery.

The rocket artillery is indeed a weakened version, the ordinary rocket artillery is made up of five tubes, and now there are even ten tubes, and the gun carriage with adjustable angles can be adjusted.

But unfortunately, what was sent to Yazhou was still the most rudimentary version, and it was even so simple that it was not even equipped with a carriage.

The three barrels, in the same way as before, are just a little more buckled, and they are connected together, and a base is used to fix them.

It's rudimentary to the extreme, but the good thing is that it's just as convenient.

After many generals have seen it, Li Jing, who has long been surprised, beckoned, this thing is powerful, but the disadvantage is also obvious, there is no fixed vehicle as a support, so it often produces greater recoil when launching, if the selected position is not in place, it is likely to cause a tragedy.

But there is no need to tell these generals about the specifics, the forbidden army will naturally explain to the soldiers.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in half a month, the army will go to the battlefield, so you know ......," Li Jing reminded leisurely.
