Chapter 499: Delaying Progress
At first, Chen Mu suspected that someone had bribed the adults in the palace and let them do something about the device.
If this is the case, it is only necessary to investigate the people with whom the adults have recently interacted with them, and if they detect anyone who has been acting suspiciously lately, then they can be able to identify the person who used the instrument.
However, it was not until the next morning that his subordinates carefully probed the recent whereabouts of those adults, and confirmed that none of them had interacted with suspicious people in recent times.
Most of these adults who study the government are obsessed with research and do not want to deal with outsiders.
None of them like to collude with those nobles in the capital, even if they occasionally interact with the nobles of the capital, those people are all Chen Mu's henchmen, which is a little strange, Chen Mu frowned.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......"
Lord Ye hesitated and took a step forward, arching his hand, and Chen Mu groaned slightly.
"In that case, we can only check to see if anyone has approached the drawings without permission when other adults are not paying attention."
Several adults were locked up separately and questioned each other, and if anyone testified that there was a mistake, then it was very likely that they were the ones who did the drawings.
I used this method to investigate thoroughly, and soon found out that it was wrong.
"Two adults said that one of them discussed with them one day to go to the bamboo building to get the drawings, but for some reasons, they were delayed in the bamboo building for a while."
"It was the two of them who left first, and the inside of this bamboo building is not separated and locked, that is to say, if that adult gets the opportunity to go deep into the bamboo building, he will also have the opportunity to approach the drawings, and most of the other adults will go to the bamboo building in twos and threes."
"Only that one adult stayed alone in the bamboo building for a while on that day."
Chen Mu immediately responded, and after asking the identity of the adult, even if Chen Mudang sent someone to call the adult, the adult was the only adult who was calm when he noticed that there was something wrong with the drawings before.
Chen Mu glanced at the man, his eyes moving slightly.
was so calm, even at this time, he looked immovable, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
But the more abnormal the behavior is now, the more suspicious it becomes, Chen Mu's eyes moved slightly, and he said to the adult quietly.
"Do you know what I called you for this time?"
The adult shook his head silently, his expression faint.
Chen Mu sneered.
"I've already found out the truth of the matter, and the reason why I let people bring you alone is to let you admit this to me, why did you do anything to that drawing?"
"The drawings are so important, and the place you changed happens to be in such a critical position, do you want to use that instrument to kill someone in this mansion?"
The official was stunned for a moment, then looked up sharply in the direction of Chen Mu, and hurriedly spoke.
"No, I didn't! I didn't mean to kill that adult! ”
After saying this, he had a look on his face.
Chen Mu was quite surprised when he saw him admit it easily, the man didn't guess that Chen Mu was just deceiving him, he only stubbornly explained.
"I didn't expect that the two key points were connected to the steel knife mounted under the instrument."
"If I knew that the device was designed, and that the steel knife would bounce out because of a mistake in those two places during the test, I would never change those two places!"
This is to completely admit that he has done something to the instrument, Chen Mu felt a little surprised, why did this person do anything to the instrument?
He frowned and continued to follow the other man's words.
"Then you said that you didn't plan to do it to the adults in the palace, why did you do it to the equipment?"
Seeing Chen Mu ask like this, the adult looked stunned, and Lord Ye on the side was dumbfounded, he looked at Chen Mu pretending to follow the adult as if nothing happened, he turned his head to look at Chen Mu, his eyes were full of shock.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so calm!
Even if it had long been guessed that the person who did the work on the device was this adult.
But before His Royal Highness the Crown Prince called people over and deceived the other party, they couldn't be sure that he was the one who did it.
They are merely suspicious.
The truth of the matter was exposed, but the prince seemed to have expected it.
Sure enough, it was the crown prince, so wise and martial, he must have noticed that this person was wrong a long time ago!
Chen Mu noticed Master Ye's gaze in his direction, he didn't say much, he just shook his head quietly.
Then he glanced at the adult, and his face was gloomy.
The adult was silent for a long time before he gritted his teeth and said.
"Am I not doing this because of you? You urge us to speed up the study of this harvesting equipment and cultivation equipment, and in a few days, the harvesting equipment and cultivation equipment will be studied and perfected and introduced. ”
"That'...... Wouldn't those people be driven out by the owners of the farms! ”
The man's face was full of indignation, Chen Mu was stunned, and then suddenly came back to his senses.
He seemed to understand something.
The reason why this person chose to work on the device and change the details on the device is mostly to slow down the research progress of the device and prolong the time.
After all, as soon as the equipment is researched, the owner of the farm will definitely drive out the redundant farmers in the farm.
In the eyes of this official, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is clearly unrighteous in doing so.
Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he would find a way out for those farmers, there has been no rumor of that "way out" so far.
As an official of the DPRK and China, he did not hear a single bit of news, and he was even more sure that Chen Mu did not arrange the plans and intentions of those people at all.
He just wanted to be as long as he could, though he knew he couldn't keep putting it off.
Sooner or later, this instrument will have to be studied, and sooner or later those farmers will be driven out of Zhuangzi.
"Stupid, you're stupid."
Chen Mu frowned and sighed helplessly.
When the official heard this, he sneered.
"Since you have admitted that you changed this device, then I naturally can't spare you."
"Catch him first and lock him up, although his original intention of changing the equipment was for the people, but after the equipment was changed, he almost injured the adults in the palace, and he should be punished as a murder."
When Lord Ye heard this, he immediately responded, stepped forward to pull the official up, and led the person down the hall.
The officials in the government office learned that the person who used the equipment was none other than their lords in the government.
The reason for doing it is also to want to delay the research progress of this harvesting instrument, and everyone is in a complicated mood.
Li Mao and Lu Wen marched into the front hall and arched their hands to Chen Mu, with a slight hesitation on their faces.
As soon as Chen Mu saw them like this, he guessed their plans.
He placed the teacup in his hand on the table beside him, and the teacup collided with the table, making a clicking sound.
The two of them knelt down subconsciously, and Chen Mu sighed.
"Well, look at you like this, you have something to ask for, say, for what?"
