Chapter 831: A Gift Before Leaving (4)
The inner city of Luoyang, as the center of gravity of the Pingtian Army's control of the whole city, naturally has quite thoughtful arrangements.
For example, the same patrol soldiers and horses as the outer city, and the people from the Criminal Department always pay attention to the movements of all parties, plus the Imperial City Division...... It can be said that it will be ten times more difficult to make trouble in the inner city than in the outer city.
And the inner city arsenal, as the foundation of all this guarding work, is naturally the most important.
Logically speaking, it is naturally impossible for anyone to dare to attack the idea here, and no one even dares to stop around the arsenal for a long time, in case someone takes it down and convicts him of misdeeds.
But what they met this time was Sun Ning, Sun Ning in the name of the third son, Zhao Qianzhe, so he naturally wouldn't have any worries.
With an order, the corner door connecting the courtyards on both sides was violently broken, which meant that the situation in the warehouse next to it was all exposed to the eyes of dozens of people here.
As far as the eye could see, in addition to a group of panicked guards, there were also the vehicles beside them that were exactly the same as the wheelbarrows that had fallen in the front yard of Luofu, and the large quantities of grain that were full of food loaded on them.
There is a way to be a thief with a weak heart.
When their own behavior was completely exposed, the guards on the side of the arsenal were also stunned on the spot, not to mention making a move, and they didn't even dare to let go of a cruel word.
Congratulations, at this time, his face sank, and he shouted: "Congratulations to the guards of the outer city of this official!" What's going on here? Come on, take everyone down! ”
At this time, the other generals finally recovered from their shock, and they took orders one after another, and brazenly rushed into the side of the arsenal and killed the guards.
The guys didn't dare to resist at all, and dozens of people were quickly pushed to the ground.
Then, the other guards in the arsenal were also alarmed, and hurried to see what was going on. But the soldiers who could stay outside the Luo Mansion also arrived, and the number was still above the arsenal guards.
After Sun Ning and Zhu Zan revealed their identities before and after, and suppressed them, the one hundred and ten guards naturally quickly lost the courage to resist and were arrested on the spot, and none of them were able to escape.
Then, Sun Ning took the lead in going to several other warehouses in the arsenal to check, it doesn't matter if you don't look at it, at a glance, you will naturally find a greater harvest.
……
More than half an hour later, Zhao Guangxiao also led people to the West Arsenal of the inner city, and what he saw was a group of guards who had been tied down, as well as a staggering amount of food that had been counted and put together, enough for hundreds of thousands of catties.
The huge amount of food is actually hidden in the arsenal of the inner city, which is enough to make people extremely suspicious.
What's more, the figure of this batch of grain is extremely close to the grain in the military grain warehouse in the outer city that was lost some time ago, not to mention what all this means.
Originally, Colonel Zhao Guang really felt a headache about the loss of this batch of military rations.
Even with Luoyang's wealth, hundreds of thousands of grains are a large amount, which he can't easily bear.
For this reason, he even planned to directly take grain from Wang Liu and other wealthy families to replenish it.
But as a result, when the food appeared with the answer today, his heart sank even more, and he would rather that the food had never been found.
Because this arsenal is in the hands of the eldest son Zhao Qianhui, and now that there is such a big problem here, does it mean that he is the mastermind of the previous theft of military rations?
Thinking about it further, the case was also promoted by him that day, this is a thief shouting to catch a thief, and his father is a monkey!
The more he thought about it, the more gloomy Zhao Guangxiao's face became, and the more irritable he became, and he quickly spoke: "What about Zhao Qianhui?" Let him come here and see me! ”
"Father is angry, I believe that everything here should have nothing to do with the eldest brother." Sun Ning came to him at this time and said as if to excuse Zhao Qianhui.
"How can it not be related? He was in charge of this place, and now that there was such a large amount of food, he would not know anything? Zhao Guangxiao said angrily.
"This is nominally in the hands of the eldest brother, but in fact he may have been deceived by the people below. After all, the eldest brother wears many hats, and the arsenal has always been fine, so he must have not come to inquire for many days, so naturally the people below will come here. ”
Sun Ning continued to explain: "Of course, the responsibility of the eldest brother is not light, at least he has betrayed his father's trust. However, I believe that the fact that the grain was stolen and hidden here must have nothing to do with him. ”
Sun Ning's hard work finally made Zhao Guangxiao's mood better.
If you think about it carefully, is it necessary for your eldest son to fight these grains? Would he still do something that was out of the army for the sake of selling the grain for that little money?
At this time, Zhao Qianhui finally came in a hurry, and when he saw the situation here and his father's appearance, his face turned pale with shock, and he immediately knelt down: "Father, please listen to what your son has to say." I, I didn't know that there was so much food hidden in this arsenal......"
"You really don't know?" Zhao Guangxiao glared at him and asked in a cold voice, although it looked scary, it had actually eased up a lot.
"I don't know. No matter how foolish my son is, he will not ignore the stability of my Pingtian Army and Luoyang City for the sake of this little benefit......"
"And how do you explain the grain here?"
"Someone planted the ......blame," Zhao Qianhui said urgently, "If my father can trust me and let me investigate, I will definitely ......"
"Big brother, isn't this already very clear?" Only then did Sun Ning speak, "You are naturally deceived by others, but there must be some greedy people in our army who are short-sighted and ignore the overall situation.
"For example, the guards on the other side of the granary, and the many guards in this arsenal. They must have been bought a long time ago, so the grain was easily left the granary and hidden here. ”
"Yes, yes, that's it." In order to clear up his suspicions, Zhao Qianhui was naturally happy to let his younger brother help him speak.
However, Sun Ning's words did not stop there: "In addition, the food operation between the inner and outer cities must also have a team to help do things." In other words, the person who did all this not only had the relationship between the two warehouses, but also had a considerable influence among the soldiers and horses in the two cities inside and outside Luoyang. You say, "Who could that be?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of Zhao Guangxiao and Zhao Qianhui changed at the same time.
Not only them, but also Zhu Zan, who tried to reduce his sense of existence, was also shocked.
He really didn't expect that the final goal would fall on "him" - the military division of the Pingtian Army, Shenbo!
After Sun Ning pointed out this person, he lowered his head and stopped talking, just waiting for the father and son to make a final decision.
Some people died, but not completely......
