"Sister, why haven't you been in good spirits for the past two days?" In Jianhua Hall, Shen Mi asked Shen Ning with concern.

In the past two days, Shen Ning's face was relatively poor, as if he was full of worries, and he always rushed to Qingzhuju after class, and rarely talked to their younger sisters, Shen Mi felt very strange.

"Well, it's been a bit of a matter these days." Shen Ningqiang cheered up and said, telling the truth to Shen Mi. For the past two days, I have been thinking about the black market bow and crossbow, and Qiu Ge and the others have analyzed the information late, and their faces are inevitably a little worse.

"Sister, you haven't been to Jingqiaoju for a long time, I have knitted a lot of fresh things, and you and Sister Mi will go to my Jingqiaoju to play later......" Shen Wan also saw Shen Ning's face, and opened her mouth to invite Shen Ning to play, and Shen Jia, Shen Mei and others on the side looked expectant.

Shen Ning sat in the delicate house, watching Shen Wan introduce gadgets as if offering treasures, and smiled a little. I obviously can't be idle, why did I come to Jingqiaoju with these sisters to play, and go crazy with Shen Wan and them? No, a few little sisters are learning to weave a lotus tweed under the guidance of Shen Wan.

"No, that's not right, it's better than this. Sister Mi, you can weave this petal, and Sister Yao, you can wrap this stem...... Finally, put them together, and a lotus flower is ready! It's also very fast, I often do this with the reeds. Shen Wan looked at the miserable craftsmanship of Shen Mi and the others, and began to assign tasks to everyone.

Shen Ning watched as several younger sisters did these crafts in an orderly manner, and finally Shen Wan put them together. Soon, a lotus flower was ready. Vivid.

"How? I'm not wrong, just divide the work like this, but it's much easier......" Shen Wan said with a happy face, showing the lotus flower.

The other sisters nodded approvingly, and Shen Wan was very satisfied. Turning her head, she saw Shen Ning smiling more happily than her. Their eyes narrowed with laughter. Shen Wan was confused: Why is this eldest sister suddenly so happy?

Of course Shen Ning was happy, the things that she had been unable to figure out were finally connected, if there was this link, then everything would make sense, and she hurriedly told Shen Huashan and Shen Zejing her guess.

"The process of making a bow and crossbow has changed?" Shen Zejing repeated Shen Ning's words. Trying to guess this possibility is also being sought.

According to Shen Ning's guess, the process of making bows and crossbows must have changed, and the time and materials for making bows and crossbows must be saved compared with the original, so that after the crossbow workshop department handed over the bows and crossbows of the Treasury Department, there may be excess bows and crossbows flowing out.

"Well, that is. It is very likely that there was a genius craftsman who improved the production of the bow and crossbow in order for the Crossbow Workshop to be able to do this. And even more. If this is really a genius craftsman, it is definitely not just about improving the production of the bow and crossbow, it is very likely that he will make new weapons......" Shen Huashan followed Shen Ning's train of thought and went deeper, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

He and Shen Zejing glanced at each other. Didn't say what both people knew. If that's the case, then this person is too important, much more important than a crossbow on the black market!

This craftsman is related to the truth of the Crossbow Workshop Department, and it is related to the future weapons of Dayong, whoever gets this craftsman will have the dominance of weapons! The top priority is. Find this person, at all costs. - Shen Zejing's complexion also changed drastically, and he quickly thought of this.

"This craftsman must have been hidden by the Three Princes, and he ordered Ruliu to monitor the Three Princes' Mansion with all his might, and stop talking about other things for the time being! Find a way to find out the other businesses of the three princes in Jingzhao, and you must hurry up the time! Let the people of the grasshopper find out the news of all the craftsmen in Jingzhao, and they must first confirm who this craftsman is! Shen Huashan quickly issued several orders.

Time is running out, we must find this craftsman as soon as possible, and I don't know how long the matter of the Crossbow Workshop can be hidden, if the Ministry of War and a few princes intervene, things will be even more difficult to handle.

The Shen family still has some ways in the Jingzhao region, and after Shen Huashan spoke, almost all the people in the dark of the Shen family were dispatched. It only took half a day, and Ruliu had already figured out the situation of Jingzhao craftsmen!

Sure enough, I found that there was a craftsman named Hu Zhaochang who had not returned home from the Crossbow Workshop Department for nearly two months, and the original craftsman of the Crossbow Workshop Department was able to return home once a month, but now the woman of that family was crying and crying out for justice, wanting to ask the Crossbow Workshop Department for justice!

Presumably, this is the genius craftsman who was hidden by the three princes. Speaking of which, these craftsmen of the Crossbow Workshop Department are also poor people, they have a craft, and they have to make all kinds of weapons in the Crossbow Workshop Department every day, but they can only be classified as lowly status, and the money and silver they receive are very small.

The ordnance superintendent has never paid attention to the life or death of these craftsmen, and now that a craftsman has not been seen for two months, it is estimated that no official in the ordnance superintendent will know.

"Protect the craftsman's family first, in case anyone takes this poor family hostage." Shen Ning took advantage of the fact that the third prince had not yet reacted, and transferred the craftsman's family to another place.

It's just that Hu Zhaochang's family doesn't know where he is. The Shen family also begged Xu Guangyao not to poke out the matter of the Crossbow Workshop for the time being, and wait for them to find out what was going on.

Although Chen Zhihao is worried at home, he also has a lot of eyeliner in the Ministry of War, and he also quickly learned about the matter of the Crossbow Workshop Department, and of course he also knew that the number of bows and crossbows produced by the Crossbow Workshop Department was far more than those handed over to the Treasury Department!

Just think about it, he, like Shen Huashan, has figured out the doorway clearly! He even asked people to help the Three Princes suppress the matter of the Crossbow Workshop, in order to be the craftsman hidden by the Three Princes - Chen Zhihao, who is the former secretary of the Ministry of War, really knows too well the value of a genius weapon craftsman!

All the things he did were waiting for the third prince to show his feet, hoping to find this craftsman by touching the vine.

Shangguan Changzhi has a secret line in Weiwei Temple, so he naturally knows the news, and he also wants to get this craftsman, in order not to startle the snake, and to help Shangguan Yongping suppress the matter of the Crossbow Workshop without a trace, he secretly sent a group of people to the Three Princes' Mansion to investigate the news.

In this way, with the joint efforts of the Second Prince, the Fifth Prince, and the Shen Family, the affairs of the Crossbow Workshop Department were strangely suppressed, and the Military Department and the Ordnance Supervision presented a strange calm atmosphere.

And the three princes in the center of the storm are still proud, both people and money, this is not an ordinary happy thing, even Xian Maoxin is happy when he looks at the huge amount of money, so he has a little less sense of crisis.

The second prince, the fifth prince, and the twelve princes represented by the Shen family all stared at the Third Prince's Mansion, waiting for the craftsman to show half of his traces. Therefore, they all knew that the Three Princes' Mansion had dug through the tunnel of the Crossbow Workshop and transported the bow and crossbow out of the tunnel, but what was the use of this? The three men still didn't notice that the craftsman was hiding there, so they all stood still and watched as the three princes transported the third batch of bows and crossbows out of the crossbow workshop.

"It's not okay to go on like this, if a batch of bows and crossbows flow out, the affairs of the crossbow workshop department can't be covered no matter what. You have to fight with other people quickly, have you found out the other businesses of the Three Princes' Mansion? Shen Zejing asked Shen Ning, feeling a little impetuous.

The Second Prince's Mansion and the Fifth Prince's Mansion are all guarding the movements of the Third Prince's Mansion, and the Shen family knows it. Presumably, the other two people also found that the Three Princes' Mansion was still under surveillance on his side, and it was not easy to be the first to find Hu Zhaochang under such circumstances!

Shen Ning also knew that this was a race against time, but Ruliu had already investigated all the other industries of the Three Princes' Mansion, and there was no trace of the craftsman at all, maybe the Three Princes did not hide the craftsman in the other industries at all!

What is the difference between finding this craftsman and looking for a needle in a haystack?

There was no useful information to be found in Ruliu, and Shen Ning could only hope for her own memories, she was trying to recall the events of the previous life, trying to find out where the three princes were Tibetan.

"In the forty-fifth year of Emperor Changtai, the three princes were imprisoned for rebellion and imprisoned in Dali Temple...... Died in prison...... The dead soldiers of the Three Princes' Mansion escorted the emperor's grandson to escape successfully...... Canal ......" Shen Ning thought silently in her heart, wanting to recall the things about the third prince to the greatest extent, and suddenly, her eyes lit up!

Canal Channel! Shen Ning remembered that when the third prince of the previous life was imprisoned and died, his dead soldier protected his son and hid in a house by the canal on the outskirts of Beijing, and successfully escaped from Jingzhao from there! Cutting the grass does not eradicate the roots, which has become the heart disease of Shangguan Changzhi. The house by the canal should be the most secret place of the three princes, and it is very likely that the craftsman is hiding there!

Shen Ning once again relied on Ying Nantu's power and instructed Qiu Wu and Chen Cheng to take Ying Nantu's borrowed manpower and quickly go to the house next to the canal on the outskirts of Beijing to find someone.

The area next to the canal in the suburbs of Beijing is full of houses of the same style, and it is not possible to arouse suspicion if you want to find someone in this area, so it took Qiu Wu and the others three days to finally find Hu Zhaochang's hiding place.

When the second prince and the fifth prince in the center of Jingzhaocheng were still staring at the Third Prince's Mansion and the Crossbow Fang Office, there was a case of robbership and robbery in a house next to the canal on the outskirts of Beijing. But fortunately, there were no casualties, only a lot of property was lost, but it did not attract the attention of many people, after all, close to the river, water thieves and so on, there are also haunts from time to time.

"Tell my grandfather and father, the man has arrived! The rest can be done right away! "Shen family, Shen Ning said in a hurried tone, looking excited!

In this battle to grab people, the Shen family actually walked in front, so the next thing, about the future of the Shen family, about supporting the twelve princes to take the throne, is much easier!

"Immediately order the people in Ruliu to evacuate from the vicinity of the Three Princes' Mansion and the Crossbow Workshop! There is no need to hide the matter of the Crossbow Workshop Department anymore, it must be poked out immediately! I think the Shen family should sell Jingzhao Yin Luo Shijing a favor! Shen Huashan stroked his beard and smiled slightly.
