After talking for a while, Guan Hai felt sleepy.

Liu Chuang saw that he was tired, so he got up and said goodbye.

Guan Hai was indeed old, and he didn't keep it, so he confessed and went back to his room to rest.

When he left the Taishou Mansion, he saw Chang Sheng hurrying over.

Seeing Liu Chuang, he hurriedly bowed and bowed.

Chang Sheng was also the first old man to follow Liu Chuang...... At the beginning, Liu Chuang fled from Qu County and ran rampant in Xuzhou with thirty-six ant thieves. Today, very few of the thirty-six are alive. Pei Shao is now on the Korean Peninsula and is a lieutenant general under Yan Rou's account. Pei Wei went to Goguryeo; Zhang Cheng and Zhang Chao brothers, now working in the Yellow Pavilion; And Li Lun ...... Last year, he contracted a cold in Goguryeo and died at the beginning of the year.

Only Chang Sheng stayed by Guan Hai's side.

Originally, Chang Sheng was also in the Yellow Pavilion, but after Guan Hai came to Liaodong, he returned to Guan Hai, and now he has a family.

At the beginning of September of the sixth year of Jian'an, Chang Sheng had a child, with a small name and a big name, Chang Hao. Liu Chuang was fighting outside at that time, so it was Elk who sent someone to send a congratulatory gift.

Seeing Chang Sheng, Liu Chuang was overwhelmed with emotion.

"Lord, can the big boss rest?"

"Well, I'm a little tired just now, and I'm probably lying down by now."

Liu Chuang could see that Chang Sheng seemed to have something, so he asked, "What, is there something wrong?" ”

Chang Sheng hesitated, and when he saw that there was no one left and right, he said softly: "Some time ago, there were accidents in Xinchang Workshop one after another...... The big boss felt a little strange, so he asked me to go and investigate. I had just gotten some news and hurried back. I want to report to the big boss. ”

"Xinchang?"

Liu Chuang's heart moved.

"It's the Heavenly Thunder Fire Workshop."

"What's going on?"

Liu Chuang was a little unsettled at this moment, and hurriedly pulled Chang Sheng to ask the reason.

Something happened to the Heavenly Thunder Fire Workshop?

That's a big deal......

You must know that the thunder and fire are now the secret weapon in Liu Chuang's hands, if something happens. It is impossible to say that it will change the situation.

Thinking that Huang Chengyan created the Heavenly Thunder Fire at the beginning, he said that this thing is likely to have a huge impact. In order to ensure the safety of Tianleihuo, Liu Chuang even secretly moved the Tianleihuo Workshop from Liaoxi to Liaodong, in order to prevent the secret of Tianleihuo from being known by others.

"Chang, don't worry, let's go to the house and talk slowly."

As Liu Chuang spoke, he dragged Chang Sheng back to Taishou Mansion and ordered someone to find a quiet room.

Chang Sheng said: "About three months ago, a craftsman from the Heavenly Thunder Fire Workshop suddenly disappeared.

The lord also knows that the personnel of the Thunder Fire Workshop this day. All of them have to go through a rigorous selection process. Everyone needs to be closely monitored. The craftsman is the craftsman who is in charge of making the gunpowder pellets. It is also from the west of Liaoning, which is extremely reliable. But he suddenly disappeared without any signs...... At that time, the big boss felt that something was not normal. That's why I was ordered to secretly go to Xinchang to investigate the matter. ”

"The result?"

"I made a secret visit to Xinchang and found out that the missing craftsman had been in close contact with the craftsmen of the dispensing workshop before he disappeared.

I also found out that there had been several thefts in the workshop in the past three months.

If it weren't for the heavy guards in the workshop, the gunpowder would have been taken out of the workshop...... I probed again, and the result was ......"

"What was the result?"

"Before his disappearance, the missing craftsman had been in and out of a trading house in Xinchang many times.

And behind that commercial house, Tian Shao is in charge...... Does the lord remember Tian Shao? It is the Liaodong tycoon who helped us conquer Xiangping at the beginning. ”

"You mean ......"

"One more thing, Madame is from the Tian clan."

Liu Chuang shuddered.

He knew who Chang Sheng's wife was...... That's Guan Hai's wife.

After Guan Hai came to Liaodong. He married a woman from the Tian family in Liaodong, and it is said that the relationship between the two is very good.

Liu Chuang knew that Chang Sheng's words did not mean that Guan Hai was also involved in this matter. Rather, Guan Hai is likely to be deceived.

Closing his eyes, Liu Chuang took a deep breath.

He was silent for a moment and said softly, "This matter will not have anything to do with my aunt...... You don't have to tell Uncle Sù about this, you just know what I know. ”

"Whoa!"

Chang Sheng hurriedly bowed down to receive the order, but he hesitated for a moment, and then asked softly, "Then do you want to continue the investigation?" ”

"Don't pursue it for the time being, so as not to startle the snake."

"Whoa!"

Chang Sheng bowed down to accept the order, and after chatting with Liu Chuang for a while, he said goodbye and left.

And Liu Chuang pondered for a long time before leaving Taishou Mansion with Tai Shixiang and staying in the Liaodong Post House that night.

It's night, and the wind is up!

In the second half of the night, it suddenly snowed.

Liu Chuang sat in the study of the post house, frowning and pondering.

Artisans of the Heavenly Thunder Fire Workshop; theft of gunpowder; Liaodong Dahao Tian Shao...... In this chain of clues, there seems to be a thread connecting them. Generally speaking, the craftsmen of the Tianlei Fire Workshop did not know exactly what the purpose of the items they produced was, because the final assembly was carried out in the Shijiutuo Workshop in Liaoxi. However, there are people who want to steal gunpowder, which is not normal in the first place.

And the sudden disappearance of the craftsman made Liu Chuang feel an inexplicable worry.

That guy is in charge of pharmaceuticals, and he knows at least a little bit about the process of making gunpowder, if not very familiar. He was originally from Liaoxi, and in order to prevent the secret of the thunder and fire from being discovered, he came to Liaodong. In Liaodong, that guy has a black eye, and if no one cooperates, he can't hide it at all; As for Tian Shao, Liu Chuang also had some impressions. When he attacked Xiangping at the beginning, it was this Tian Shao who was the internal response and assisted him in breaking through Xiangping and capturing Gongsun Du alive...... Speaking of which, this man is still a great hero. It's just that due to physical reasons, he can't be given a heavy responsibility, but Liu Chuang's reward for him is quite generous.

Could it be that this guy is a natural two-and-five?

If he was involved, the missing craftsman......

But who bought him?

The more Liu Chuang thought about it, the more he felt that the situation was a bit strict.

Don't look at just a small craftsman missing. But it's a matter of thunder and fire, and no matter how small it is, it's a big thing.

"Lord, Master Sima asks to see you!"

"Huh?"

Tai Shixiang whispered softly outside, and Liu Chuang was stunned. I couldn't help but be stunned.

Sima's main book is Sima Yi...... Since he took over the Yellow Pavilion, the dragon has seen the head and the tail.

The last time I saw Sima Yi was a few months ago, after the Battle of Jizhou, Liu Chuang met Sima Yi once on his way back to Yanjing. At that time, Sima Yi said that he would go to Liangzhou, and then he disappeared. However, his information was continuously sent to Liu Chuang's hands, which also enabled Liu Chuang to grasp what was happening ahead in a timely and accurate manner, as well as the news from all over the world......

This guy. Actually in Liaodong?

Liu Chuang's eyes flickered. Realize it immediately. There must be something strange in this.

"Let him in."

"Whoa!"

After a while, the door opened.

Sima Yi was dressed in a big coat with snowflakes on his body. A dusty face.

After a few months, when he saw Sima Yi again, Liu Chuang was also quite surprised. In just a few months, Sima Yi seems to be ten years old. In terms of age, he is younger than Liu Chuang, but now he looks like a person in his thirties...... Moreover, Sima Yi's sideburns actually showed signs of whiteness. He stepped into the room and bowed to Liu Chuang. The face was tired, the eyes were bloodshot, the bags under the eyes were very obvious, it seemed that he had not rested well, and the whole person looked very tired.

"Zhongda, you ......"

"My lord, I took the liberty to visit late at night, and I disturbed a lot, so please forgive me."

Liu Chuang hurriedly stepped forward to support Sima Yi and pulled him to sit down on the couch.

"Yuan Fu!"

"Whoa!"

"Go and get some minced meat soup to ward off the cold."

Sima Yi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Lord, don't be so troublesome......

"There are no lords and subordinates here, only older brothers and younger brothers.

Why do you seem so hard when you've been missing all day? My uncle handed you over to me, and if something goes wrong with you, how will I explain to my uncle in the future? ”

When Sima Yi heard this, he smiled.

Liu Chuang looked at him and shook his head helplessly...... To be honest, he was still a little wary of Sima Yi. Although Sima Yi was allowed to preside over the Yellow Pavilion, he secretly sent people to monitor his movements. But in the past four years, Sima Yi can be said to be extremely diligent. gives Liu Chuang the feeling that this Sima Yi is more like the Zhuge Prime Minister in history, who is busy all day long.

"Zhongda, why are you here?"

Sima Yi hurriedly said: "Brother, I came to Liaodong by accident.

Previously, there was a murder in the Linyu Shijiutuo Workshop, and the deceased was a supervisor of the Shijiutuo Workshop. I happened to be at Nanshan Academy at the time, and I was invited by Dai Taishou to investigate. On the surface, it was just a very simple murder case, and the overseer owed two money, and was forced to pay the debt too much, so he committed suicide. But I noticed that there seemed to be something unusual about it.

The overseer was a bit of a gambler, but he didn't owe so much money; Moreover, in the past two months, he has been in and out of the gambling house frequently, and the number of wins and losses is not small. I had the feeling that there must be something odd about this. So he traced it down and found that the person behind the gambling house was secretly supported by Liaodong Tian Shao...... I don't know if Tian Shao knows about this, but I don't think it's that simple...... Later, I also found out that in the past, many craftsmen in the workshop were recruited.

And those who recruited them were all related to the industries under Tian Shao's name.

I felt that this thing was weird, or Tian Shao was weird...... So I secretly came to Liaodong along this line.

The elder brother also knew that when the Yellow Pavilion was established, it was in Liaodong.

Although the main task of the Yellow Pavilion is to investigate and collect information on Cao Cao, he has never relaxed on Liaodong......

Results ......"

When Sima Yi said this, an extremely strange smile appeared on his face.

"Brother, guess what I found?"

Liu Chuang's eyes narrowed, looked at Sima Yi and said, "Don't sell Guanzi, tell me what you found?" ”

There are three more shifts in the evening, and I will try my best to update it before 12 o'clock
