Chapter 573: The Armory Theft
The time of pleasure is very short, the most pleasing thing for Zhou Yu is to bloom double flowers overnight, Xiao Qiao is a typical lady who is naturally a yellow flower girl, Yu Ruyi has been in the Qinglou since she was a child, and when she became an adult, she was hidden by Wang Yunjinwu, and it is not easy to be able to keep a complete body, men will have a little Jiujiu, even if Zhou Yu in later generations has a little idea, and the double flowers bloom that is all happy.
It's just that when Zhou Yu got married, there was a slight slack in the defense everywhere, especially the appearance of many foreign small merchants and vendors near the armory.
In the early morning of the third day of Zhou Yu's wedding, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, and Zhang Zhao came in succession, and when they saw Zhou Yu in the lobby, they immediately told what happened in the armory.
"Drawings of the lost trebuchet? And the crossbow making drawing? That's all? "Zhou Yu is not surprised by the theft of these things, the production drawings of the armory are not familiar to a craftsman, he continues the assembly line practice of later generations, a person just repeats a process, as for the drawings left behind is just a worthless straw paper, as for the production of the bow and crossbow is not a matter of importance, what he cares about now is who came out, and it is not easy to want a complete drawing.
"The lord - the armory was only found to be stolen when it was closed at night, during which the guards outside did not find any abnormality, and when Li Bantou opened the door early the next morning, he found that the drawings hanging in the warehouse were missing, and a few key parts were missing. Now that martial law has been imposed in the armory, there must be a ghost in the middle of the period to do this. We need to take a good inventory-" Cheng Yu is mainly responsible for the confidentiality of Yangzhou, he doesn't know that Zhou Yu doesn't value these drawings at all, and in his eyes, these are big secrets.
"My lord, all the craftsmen in the armory have been detained, please make it public what to do with these people?" Zhang Zhao also had a serious face, in their opinion, Yangzhou was able to defeat the powerful Jingzhou in a short period of time, and it was inseparable from the contents of the armory. Now there are ghosts in the heavily guarded armory, and if they don't dig up and recover the blueprints, then it will be a big threat to them in the future.
"For the time being, the craftsmen are detained in their respective residences, and they are not allowed to go out without permission! Let's take a look at the armory later, and maybe we can find some suspicious points. Fengxiao, you are looking for Shi A to come to thoroughly investigate the suspicious people in Yangzhou City in recent days, we have to make a look of the current state of the enemy, the four city gates are closed to the north gate and the west gate, and only the lower east gate and the south gate are used for entry and exit, excluding people and horses from door to door searches, focusing on hotels and houses that do not live often.
Hearing Zhou Yu say this, the three of them immediately understood that what was lost was not so important, the important thing was to find out the ghosts inside, and take the opportunity to clean up the spies and meticulous work that were planted in Yangzhou City. The three of them are all human spirits and have a tacit understanding and don't talk much, since they want to make the other party think that what they lost is very important, they will find a way to get out of the city quickly.
Sure enough, the armory was heavily guarded outside, Zhou Yu deliberately turned around the armory with a calm face, and paced from the workshop to the warehouse to the workshop where the drawings were hung, and the doors and windows were always intact, which can only show that if it is not the defection of the foreman in charge of the key, there is also a possibility that someone stole the key, but the lock of the workshop needs three keys to open, and the door will not be locked when he goes to work, but the person who can steal the three keys can be regarded as good at night.
"The foreman in charge of the key called me, I have something to ask-" Zhou Yu was followed by Dian Wei and Cheng Yu, Yangzhou was an eventful time here, except for a few special people who returned to the station, the rest were all on standby in the city waiting for the attack.
"Meet Lord Zhou Mu—" The three foremen cautiously came to Zhou Yu, at this time Zhou Yu sat motionless on the big chair, and the guards around him were murderous, and the three of them couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"Did you find that the drawings and samples were missing? Or was someone who discovered it first? Zhou Yu spoke slowly and logically, but these words hit the hearts of the three people heavily.
"The state pastor - the little Zhang Wang visited the adult, the villain opened the door together every day, locked the door and left together, as long as the door key was opened, it was hung on the body, because the armory was a confidential land, the small ones did not dare to open the door of the heavy land without authorization. When it was stolen, it was also discovered by the three of them—" One of them told Zhou Yu what they had found.
"Okay—go down!" Zhou Yu didn't say much, he let the three of them retreat first, and then waved his hand, only Dian Wei and Cheng Yu were left around him, and only then did he say: "Zhong De, Dian Wei, did you two find anything abnormal?" ”
"My lord - there doesn't seem to be any destruction, as if these things have disappeared out of thin air, and I really can't think of anyone else doing this except by insiders. Especially the three foremen who were in charge of the key just now, there must be something strange among them-" Cheng Yu also saw that the armory was heavily guarded, and the lost ones were all drawings and special small parts, which were good for hiding the bearers out.
"My lord-I'll take people to interrogate me, I guess they won't be able to stand it, in that case, they will definitely be recruited?" Dian Wei has been following Zhou Yu for a long time, and there is no blood when he interrogates people, but he wants to see how many hard-mouthed people there are in person.
"There's no need to bother so much - they're just looking for money or being threatened, and if they are looking for money, there's nothing to say, just deal with it! If someone threatens it, it's a different matter, but Zhongde, if you go and arrange someone to secretly inquire about the movements of all the craftsmen in the armory in the past three months, there will definitely be clues. But you must find out who is behind the scenes, I think there is more than just one. Dian Wei will go with me for a while to meet the two rare old people-" Just now Guo Jia had sent someone to tell him that Yu Ji had been found in Yangzhou City, and there was a gray old man with him.
After Shanyue, Yu Ji rescued Yan Baihu and disappeared, and Zhou Yu was also trying to ask him to see what he wanted? In the past, he was always on guard against Yu Ji, but he wanted to understand one thing, that is, a sentence that he had never understood, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. His goal is to unify the Han Dynasty, so why not find some like-minded forces?
He felt that the reason why Yu Ji and they tried their best to cultivate power was not to rule the world, but to preach, the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism in the Han Dynasty was already white-hot, and many temples were prosperous with incense, and the Taoist sect was reduced to ghost hunting and fortune-telling. I just don't know if he guessed right, and the person who can make Yu Ji respectful is either Nanhua or Zuo Ci.
