Chapter 435: Crossbow Machine

Tang Zhongyuan would run to help, naturally because he ran into an official errand from Dali Temple, an acquaintance.

Qiao Ran didn't say anything, just hurriedly drank two mouthfuls of porridge, then straightened out the official robe on his body and walked out.

The place where the accident happened was not far from the mouth of the alley where they lived.

Qiao Ran walked to the mouth of the alley and was shocked: the work of sleeping on the flat and spacious ground last night was already full of broken lines, extending like a spider's web. The officials of Dali Temple, who are yawning and a little tired, and the officials of the soldiers and horses of the five cities are all on the same as the officials of Chang'an Mansion.

Qiao Ran raised her head, and at a glance saw Zhen Shiyuan's carriage that was so familiar that she couldn't be more familiar, and walked over.

There are already a lot of officials or officials who live around here like her and have heard the news, and they are surrounding Zhen Shiyuan and He Taiping to ask.

"What's going on?"

"Was it a fight?"

"What does this have to look like to make it look like this?"

……

Zhen Shiyuan's face was ugly and very ugly: "Then ask what the Huai Wangfu and the Fen Wangfu did yesterday?" When the street brawl, well, deliberately picked the night when pedestrians were scarce...... Shall I repay your Majesty and praise them for their thoughtful deeds for the people? ”

He Taiping's face was not good-looking, and after Zhen Shiyuan complained, he raised his foot and scratched the ground covered with broken lines with his toes, and said, "The government has no money to repair the land." ”

Compared with Zhen Shiyuan's complaints, his focus is obviously not on this. ruined the avenue of the capital, so it was natural to let the Huai Wangfu and the Fen Wangfu pay for the construction of the road.

Qiao Ran squeezed into the crowd and didn't ask questions, after all, he could hear a rough idea from the words of his colleagues.

Because of the matter of the two county lords, the Huai Wangfu and the Fen Wangfu really brought people to do it in the middle of the night in order to fight for face, as for who won and who lost, and I don't know if there were any dead or injured, after all, they all took it back by themselves, and they only knew that they had left such a mess.

This kind of trivial trouble is naturally not her turn to take care of it, Qiao Ran shook her head with a smile, walked out of the crowd, and was about to report to the yamen of Dali Temple on the way, when she glanced at it, she saw the person on the wonton stall on the street - Bai Zhijun.

What a coincidence.

Since I saw it, it was naturally not good to leave without saying hello. Qiao Ran walked over, saluted Bai Zhijun, and said, "General Bai." ”

Bai Zhijun greeted her and asked her with a smile: "Do you want a bowl?" ”

Qiao Ran shook her head and said with a smile: "I've eaten it." ”

The greetings could be stopped, Bai Zhijun smiled, and was about to say two polite words to end such a greeting, but the girl in front of him suddenly pointed to the ground full of broken lines and asked him: "General Bai, as you can see, can the internal fighting between the Huai Wangfu and the Fen Wangfu be like this?" ”

Even if the people of the two prefectures used weapons such as knives, guns, swords, and halberds to do it, under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to shatter the streets of the capital like this.

Bai Zhijun's smile suddenly closed, the smile in his eyes disappeared, and there was a little more surprise and deep thought in his eyes when he looked at the girl.

The girl stood calmly and let him look at it.

If the girl showed calm and interest in the Yum Building that day, what was shown in front of him today was the other side.

Also, how can a girl who can solve strange cases repeatedly in just a few months not be a person with amazing insight?

Bai Zhijun sighed, shook his head, then put down the chopsticks in his hand and smiled: "The ground on this street is shattered because of the crossbow machine, but this crossbow machine has nothing to do with the Huaiwang Mansion and the Fenwang Mansion. ”

"Is it someone chasing the general's crossbow?" The girl's gaze fell on his somewhat dirty gray robe, and his bloodshot eyes, apparently he hadn't slept all night, and she asked, "What happened after the infighting between the Huai Wangfu and the Fen Wangfu?" ”

Bai Zhijun nodded, his expression solemn: "Yes, this is the fourth time." ”

If the first three times were still a plaque, a stall and other actions that only wanted to hurt him instead of putting him to death, then this time, there should really be an idea of putting him to death.

Bai Zhijun snorted lightly.

Qiao Ran looked at him and was silent for a moment, then suddenly touched his nose and said, "The general is injured!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Bai Zhijun seemed to be a little surprised, but he immediately raised his sleeves and said, "It's not my blood, it's the people who attacked me." ”

Qiao Ranqi said: "Didn't the general catch him?" ”

Bai Zhijun shook his head and smiled: "This kind of thing is not that simple. "It's not that if you dodge a sneak attack, you will definitely be able to catch the murderer, there are many accidents, and it is difficult to say in one sentence.

Qiao Ran nodded, and at this time, there was a noise behind her, and she turned around to see that the stewards of the Huai Wangfu and the Fen Wangfu also hurried over.

"We didn't make it!" The two denied in unison that He Taiping couldn't sit still, lest people run away, so he hurriedly asked his subordinates to take people down, and then shouted, "Do you know how much silver it costs to repair the main street of the capital?" It's not like you don't have a word of nothing! ”

Seeing that it was about to make a fuss, Bai Zhijun smiled at Qiao Ran, put down a dime of silver and walked over, separated the arguing people, and said, "It's not them, it's me." ”

Someone stood up and thought that it was the best, and the stewards of the two governments breathed a sigh of relief and began to argue again. This kind of trivial thing is the most headache, Qiao Ran looked at it for a moment and retracted his gaze.

It just so happened that at this time, the wonton stall owner came to collect the bowl, and when he saw such a big dime of silver, he couldn't help but be stunned, and said strangely: "A bowl is only ten big dollars, so it doesn't need so much!" ”

The wonton stall owner in front of him is the wonton stall owner who was almost affected by Bai Zhijun's incident before.

Hot-blooded and righteous, as far as she can see, outsiders' comments on the white general in front of her are not false at all.

It is not surprising that such a person would take care of General Chai's orphans, if this General Bai and General Chai have an intersection.

Qiao Ran wrinkled her brows, sat down at the wonton stand, asked for a bowl of wontons, and looked at the mutual prevarication and quarrel not far away. Although they were too far away to hear what they were saying, they could also see some clues from the excited expressions and demeanors of the stewards of Huai Wangfu and Fen Wangfu.

Bai Zhijun wanted to take care of everything, but He Taiping and Zhen Shiyuan were unwilling. After all, compared to Bai Zhijun, they are more willing to let the Huai Wangfu and Fen Wangfu, who are full and have nothing to do, pay for this money.

Bai Zhijun, who saw He Taiping and Zhen Shiyuan's intentions, did not insist anymore, only hugged her arms with a helpless look, she looked at it for a moment, and her eyes fell on the street.

The streets were covered with cobwebs, shattered, and according to Bai Zhijun, they were made by crossbow machines. But things like crossbow machines are not ordinary and visible, and there must be them in the hands of the forbidden army in the imperial city in the city. However, in addition to the forbidden army, the yamen in this city, whether it is the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, the Mansion Office, or the Dali Temple, etc., it is impossible to have such a thing as a crossbow machine.

In this case, there may be such things in the two major military camps of Yunlu and Guide outside the city, but there are a fixed number of things such as crossbow machines in the big camps, not that they can be taken if they can be taken.

So, this is a crossbow machine that appeared out of thin air?

Some appear out of thin air, and some disappear out of thin air, such as ...... Money, lots and lots of money.

As far as she came into contact with, the money that was not checked in the treasury in the embezzlement case investigated by Su Cheng at the beginning, the silver money that was not found in the case of Zhou A Furong and the two fake copper plates that Ran Wen specially asked for to give her when she helped Jiang Fang clear her suspicion before.

If you have so much money, you can do a lot of things, and your Majesty ...... should also know that her response is to reuse the generals and recall the white generals.

Qiao Ran hurriedly lowered her head and swallowed a mouthful of wontons: it seemed that she had accidentally discovered a great secret.
