Chapter 895: Arsenal

"My lord, I found it!" Not long after, an official from the Ministry of Industry hurriedly came to Lu Weidu's office to report.

"Except for Zhan Mingming, there should be no problem with the Ordnance Academy. There may be a problem, but we can't find out, because there is no problem with the orders issued by the Military Academy, only on Zhan Mingming's side, he will issue a second order, and expand the order of the military department to the number of orders.

And a series of process handover points were completed in an arsenal in Taiyuan. There is an arsenal in Taiyuan, Zhongzhou, which is also a transit point for the entire transaction. When the military department picks up the goods, they take them from there, and the goods from Chuzhou are also transported there. There is no avoidance there, and there must be participation in it. ”

"Let's go!" Lu Sheng stood up with a swish, went out and jumped on the flying sword, turning into a streamer and rushing towards Zhongzhou. In less than half an hour, Lu Sheng had already swept hundreds of miles to reach the arsenal in Zhongzhou.

As the location of the arsenal, it is naturally a heavily guarded place. But when Lu Sheng swept over the arsenal, he couldn't see anyone. And when Lu Sheng fell from the sky, his heart instantly sank to the bottom.

"Boom-"

He kicked open the door of the arsenal, and the heavy iron gate fell to the ground. And in the arsenal, there are piles of corpses. They are all soldiers of the arsenal.

According to the data of the Ministry of Industry, there are 3,000 soldiers stationed in the arsenal, and the establishment belongs to the military department. The 3,000 soldiers should be familiar with the entire process of hiding from the world, but now, they have all turned into corpses.

After Lu Sheng came here and stood here for a long time, the brothers from Taiyuan Xuantian Mansion arrived.

"See the Prince!"

"All the 3,000 soldiers in the arsenal have been wiped out......," Lu Sheng said lightly, slowly turning to look at the hundreds of brothers who were kneeling on the ground, "You have only come now?"

"The prince of the palace forgives the sin, around the arsenal, there is no man's land within a radius of five miles, even if an accident occurs, the inferior will not be able to detect it in time. ”

"Doesn't Xuantian Mansion place a station?"

"I thought about it, but the military department didn't allow it. ”

"Is that so...... You go in and deal with the aftermath, you need clues, you need evidence, even if they handle it cleanly, you can find clues for me. ”

"Yes!"

Brother Xuantianfu stood up and rushed to the barracks in more than a dozen groups.

"Your Excellency, the ordnance in the arsenal has not been removed...... The numbers are still up-to-date. ”

"I saw that there were 80,000 people in the arsenal, and if they were all taken away, they would not be able to run far, and the mastermind behind the scenes was not stupid. ”

"My lord, if the arsenal is a transit point for the masterminds behind the scenes, then where will they transport their weapons? Taiyuan is located in the center of Zhongzhou, and no matter which direction you go, you will definitely pass through the checkpoint and there is more than one. Any level, as long as the slightest bit is detected, it is enough to crack this shocking case. ”

Yuan Nong, the general manager of Taiyuan Banner, put forward a speculation, which also immediately lit up Lu Sheng's thoughts. Find out if there is a map in the arsenal, a map of Taiyuan.

As an arsenal, of course, there will be maps, and they are military maps that are more sophisticated than civilian maps. Just spread out the map on the ground, where Taiyuan is, just like the eye of the formation in the Bagua Array. And the location of the arsenal is the eye of the array.

Stealing ordnance is not a trivial matter, and there must be no accident. And this action has been going on for many years, often walking by the river, how can there be no one who does not get their shoes wet, the only way to not get their shoes wet is not to walk by the river.

The mastermind must know very well, so they will not pass through the checkpoint to transport the smuggler's ordnance. In the whole of Taiyuan, the only destinations that can be delivered from the arsenal without going through the checkpoint are ......

Following the various routes on the map, Lu Sheng finally locked the place.

Astrology City!

Lu Sheng instructed the aftermath of Taiyuan Xuantian Mansion, stepped on the flying sword and went straight to the sky to rush back to the capital. As soon as he landed in the capital, his figure appeared outside the palace gate in a flash.

At the gate of the palace, Gao Gonggong was waiting. I was not used to Lu Sheng's ghostly spirits for a long time, and when I saw Lu Sheng, I hurriedly stepped forward, "Grandpa Guo, the emperor and His Royal Highness the crown prince have been waiting for you for a long time." ”

"In the Imperial Study?"

"Yes!"

"Don't follow, I'll go by myself. ”

Entering the imperial study, Lu Weidu of the Ministry of Engineering was lying on the ground trembling. Such a big thing happened, the ordnance was stolen for so many years, and he didn't know anything about the Ministry of Works, and this article alone was enough to rob his family and ask for the crime.

"Lu Qing, have you found out?" Ji Zheng was also very anxious, and hurriedly asked when he saw Lu Sheng enter the door.

Lu Sheng shook his head, "The black hand has a lot of eyeliner in the imperial court, at least in the Ministry of Industry, it is definitely not just a Zhan Mingming. Otherwise, I just said that I wanted to investigate something, and Zhan Mingming was immediately killed. At the same time, Zhan Mingming's family was also wiped out.

I immediately rushed to the Taiyuan Arsenal, but I was still one step too late. The speed of the man behind the scenes, faster than even my flying sword. It can be seen that the operation of the mastermind behind the scenes is beyond my imagination. ”

Listening to Lu Sheng's words, Ji Zheng's emotions suddenly became excited, "What is this going to do...... What to do...... 200,000 sets of armor...... Are they going to rebel......? I ......" he said, suddenly clutching his chest and shaking.

"Your Majesty!" Lu Sheng's figure flashed, and the person instantly appeared beside Ji Zheng, and hurriedly crossed over a true qi to stabilize Ji Zheng's breath.

"Lu Sheng, who do you think it will be?" asked Ji Lin with a cold look in his eyes.

"I don't know, anyone can possibly. Lu Sheng shook his head, "This is the sequelae of the last Lichu turmoil." There must be someone who has no choice but to lay out a last resort when he is desperate.

And after you were established, many people's abacus were empty, no, it can be said that everyone's abacus was empty. Therefore, there are many people who take risks in the army. ”

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince ......" At this time, Lu Weidu, who was lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, suddenly trembled, according to the results of the minister's investigation, it should be someone who instructed Zhan Mingming, the chief of the ordnance of the Ministry of Industry, to collude with the defenders of the Taiyuan Arsenal to steal and sell the ordnance for huge profits, not that the emperor was worried that someone would rebel.

We found their ledgers at Zhan Mingming's house, as well as evidence of their collusion with the Xiongnu. Moreover, there is a big man involved in the sub-account book, the minister...... The minister did not dare to hide ......"

"!" Lu Sheng said without thinking.

"Lu Aiqing, you weren't instructed by anyone, right?" looked at Lu Weidu with a smile and asked.

"I didn't ...... No, His Royal Highness the Prince, the ministers dare not ...... Your Highness, this is taken from the secret grid of Zhan Mingming's house. I'm afraid the mastermind behind the scenes doesn't know that Zhan Ming secretly left a back hand. ”

Gao Gonggong hurriedly took the account book and arrived in front of Ji Zheng, who gently opened it and looked at it, and his face changed suddenly.

Then handed it to Ji Lin, who originally seemed to be smiling and not smiling that this was a joke, but in an instant, his face changed. Then handed it to Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng was puzzled, if he wanted to say that he had stolen 200,000 ordnance for money, Lu Sheng would be able to rule it out as soon as possible. What kind of money is so easy to earn? What kind of money is not good for stealing weapons privately? This is even worse than reselling the Star Striped Divine Soldier, and once it is discovered, it will definitely not be tolerated.

When Lu Sheng opened the account book, his face changed slightly.

Behind the ledger is naturally Gonggong Su, to say that Gonggong Su may not know who he is, but if you want to say that the chief eunuch of Tianyu Palace, then you understand.

The mastermind behind the ledger is Gonggong Su, so behind it is Concubine Yu. Concubine Yu has a criminal record, although she was finally topped by the Marquis of Beikan, and there is no evidence to prove that she is the mastermind behind the scenes, but this account is remembered by both Lin Lin and the emperor.

Concubine Yu's ability and means can do it, and she also has this motivation. The third prince was demoted to a commoner, and was assigned to work in the Huanben quarry to work in this life, and there was no future in his life, and if he wanted to turn over, there was only a rebellion left.

The accounts are very clear, and those who are not involved in this deceptive operation will never be able to make such a fake account book. This ledger is definitely in the hands of an insider.

The whereabouts of the final ordnance are recorded in the ledger, but it is the Huns. In the grassland melee, a set of armor can be sold for a hundred times the price, and the profit is indeed rich enough. With such a high rate of return, if the businessman sees it, even if he will raid the family and exterminate the clan, some people will take risks.

But...... It's all.

Lu Sheng closed the ledger and shook his head, "The ledger is fake!"

"How can you see that?" asked Ji Zheng hurriedly, listening to his tone, it seemed that he really hoped that the ledger was fake. After all, Concubine Yu is his favorite concubine, and Ji Zheng has a deep love for Concubine Yu.

"It is impossible for these ordnance to be sent to the grassland, if it was possible ten years ago, but think about it, the emperor, in the last four or five years, how many checkpoints have to be passed through to be sent from the Taiyuan arsenal to the grassland?

It doesn't make sense that every time it's been an adventure, four or five years, and you've been taking risks and never been discovered. ”

"What if all the levels were dotted up?"

"This kind of hidden business, the more people who know about it, the more dangerous it is, no more than ten people at most. And to open up a road, how many people do we need to deal with? My Dayu is now rich and strong, and it is not a time of chaos, people are determined, who dares to risk a good future and kill their heads to do this?"

"That'...... Is it possible that she did not sell her armor, but was preparing to build a private army? Concubine Yu can also do something against the third prince?"

"If it is a rebellion, can the name of Father-in-law Su still appear in the account book? Since the name of Father-in-law Su appears, then it must not be Concubine Yu behind the scenes. You should understand this logic. ”

Ji Lin's eyes suddenly showed a sudden expression, and he nodded.

"Lu Qing, then you think it will be ......"

Lu Sheng glanced at Lu Weidu out of the corner of his eyes, and Ji Zheng suddenly understood.

"Lu Qing, you go down first, you are not allowed to disclose any of today's affairs to the outside world, if there is a leak, I will ask you. ”

"Obey the order!"

Lu Weidu obediently kowtowed and retreated, and when he stood up, his steps were vain. After kneeling for a few hours, the two legs are no longer their own.

When Lu Weidu left, Lu Sheng let out a long sigh.

"From the time Zhan Mingming's entire family was killed, the minister knew that the mastermind behind the scenes had more control over the whole thing than he imagined. Zhan Mingming's side, his family, including the Taiyuan Arsenal, he arranged manpower.

If there is anything unusual, he can do it immediately. To extinguish the mouth, it only takes three sticks of incense. And the current Yu Guifei will definitely not be able to do this.

When the minister was in the arsenal, he made a deduction, and he stole so many ordnance, and there was no trace of it for several years, and it was absolutely impossible for these ordnance to pass through the checkpoint. Didn't even leave Taiyuan at all. ”

"Oh, you mean it's still in the arsenal?"

"That's not it, what the minister means is that the arsenal to the receiving person is a broad road, with no checkpoints in between, and even a hidden route that is inaccessible and direct. ”

When Lu Sheng said this, Ji Lin's face suddenly changed.
