A row of more than a dozen corpses lay on the ground, blood spilling all over the ground.

Almost all of these Cao Gang disciples had their chain mail opened, and then they were directly stabbed to death.

He Chang's whole body had been tied up with a special hemp rope, his legs and knees had been shattered, and he couldn't stand or kneel, except for lying on the ground, he could only sit there.

Even so, He Chang still gritted his teeth, didn't say a word, and didn't scream in pain.

On the other side, there was a group of people led by Lu Lin, who had been stripped of their coats at the moment, revealing the single-layer chain mail inside.

Li Xuan was not in a hurry to interrogate He Chang, because he knew that a person like He Chang, after his knee was crushed, could still say nothing, he was indeed a tough guy, and it was difficult for any punishment to work on him, especially since he didn't have much time now.

With a "snap", Xu Ji slapped He Chang in the face, and then looked at Chang Yu on the side with hatred. z.br>

Chang Yu shook his head with a solemn face, now this matter is no longer under his control, even if Dou Xuande is here, this case must be reported to the court with a big reversal, there is no other way.

If you hide one armor privately, you will have to flow 2,000 miles, and if you have three armors, you will be hanged.

There are a total of twenty-seven pieces of chain mail here, nine times the hanging, not a rebellion.

"Lord Wang, Xu Xianzi has been in this courtyard for a long time, so he really doesn't know anything about things here." Chang Yu respectfully bowed his hand to Li Xuan, looking pleading, Chang Yu finally chose to help Xu Ji.

This is not surprising, Chang Yu is from the fourth rank of the capital governor Sima, although Xu Ji is only from the seventh rank of Hu Cao Lang, but he is the prince of Guangling County from the imperial court, is the title of the fifth grade, the status of the two sides is not much different.

Not to mention that Xu Ji is still the leader of the Cao Gang, and the two have had a deep relationship with each other for many years.

The Cao Gang can do so many unsavory transactions on the canal every year, Yangzhou from the Governor's Mansion, to the Assassin Yamen, and then to the county Yamen, I don't know how many people have already been bought.

Even if Chang Yu knew how dangerous the current situation was, he couldn't come out to speak for him.

Li Xuan smiled, his smile was very cold, he pointed to He Chang who was sitting there on the side, and then pointed to the corpse on the ground, and asked, "Chang Sima, can you tell the difference between these chain mails and the chain mails on his body?"

Chang Yu didn't know what Li Xuan wanted to say, frowned, stared at He Chang for a moment, and said, "The chain mail on He Chang's body is more delicate than other people's chain mail, so it must have cost a lot of money to buy it."

"Sima is half right." Li Xuan walked to He Chang's side, reached out and grabbed his scattered bun, and snorted disdainfully: "Indeed, this piece of chain mail on his body was bought with his own money, so this king doesn't care at all, what this king really cares about is the armor on other people's bodies."

Li Xuan said, walked to the side of the corpses, stared at the armor on their bodies, and said with a cold gaze: "Although these chain mails are a bit shoddy compared to the one just now, they are still enough to use on the battlefield, at least Captain Zhou should have a deep understanding of this."

Zhou Shen stepped forward from one side and arched his hand and said, "That's true, these chain mails are enough to be qualified even if they are placed in Xinlin Mansion."

"Sima, look at it again, haven't you noticed that these chain mails are all new, and the new ones look like they have just been created?" When Li Xuan said the last word, Chang Yu's face immediately changed, and he quickly turned his head to look at Xu Ji.

"Sima is right, here, in Yangzhou, there is such a weapon workshop that can build battle armor, if this king wants to be right, such a workshop should not be under the control of the Governor's Mansion, right?" Although Li Xuan's voice was very light, it was as heavy as a mountain when it pressed on Chang Yu's heart.

Chang Yu didn't speak, and his face became more and more gloomy.

Li Xuan pointed to the chain mail on the corpse and continued: "Sima, you see, a pair of chain mail like this consumes a total of 30,000 iron rings, and each of these iron rings must be welded and connected

What can't be made?"

Chain mail, scale armor, plate armor, cloth armor, and rattan armor can all be crafted if needed.

Swords, spears, bows and crossbows, in such materials, can also be crafted, and even have been created.

Rebellion, rebellion, these thoughts can flash through Chang Yu's mind.

At this moment, he didn't even want to mention Xu Ji's defense anymore.

Such a case, once it is enlarged without limit, the entire Yangzhou does not know how many people will die.

"Besides, Sima, how do you think these chain mails got to this courtyard?" Li Xuan smiled coldly and said, "There will be people stupidly using horse-drawn carriages to transport these contraband, at least they have to use boats."

Where is the boat, naturally it is the boat of the Cao Gang, Li Xuan exited the word ship, and Xu Ji in the distance completely changed his face,

"The Cao Gang ships are all over the southeast, and even go straight to the Divine Capital, they can use the boat to transport the armor to their homes, and naturally they can also use the ship to transport the blade armor to other places, such as the Divine Capital." As soon as Li Xuanshen's two words came out, Chang Yu and Xu Ji's faces instantly turned white.

"Lord Wang, please rest assured, the ships that departed from Yangzhou have been strictly examined by the Governor's Mansion, and there will never be any innocent blades transported to the Divine Capital." Chang Yu said as he gritted his teeth and glared at Xu Ji.

On this issue, he could not let up in the slightest.

"Perhaps." Li Xuan didn't hold on to this question, but just said lightly: "First, this king is worried about Shendu, and second, this king is really worried about Wuzhou and the entire land of Wuyue. I hope that in the near future, the whole of Jiangnan will not be filled with the blades that have been transported by the entire Cao Gang."

The Cao Gang's boats can go north to the bottom of the Shendu, or even directly through the Wei River to Chang'an, and south can be directly sent to the entire south of the Yangtze River.

"So, can you ask Sima to issue an official letter to the Wuyue prefectures after he returns, asking them to strictly check all kinds of ships sent from Yangzhou, so as to prevent such blades and armor from flowing into the south." Speaking of this, Li Xuan paused for a moment, and said with a smile: "If it's too troublesome, forget it, this king can also issue a military order as the general of the school inspection Qianniu Wei Zhonglang, and it is also okay to conduct strict investigations through various Zhichong Mansions."

"Don't dare, don't dare, just handle this matter with the Governor's Mansion." Chang Yu immediately waved his hand and refused, if he let the Zhichong Mansion intervene, it would not be something that the Governor's Mansion could control, and if it was not good, it would immediately alarm the military department and the emperor.

Then they have no buffer at all.

Li Xuan is a passerby in Yangzhou after all, although he has the post of inspector Qianniu Wei Zhonglang General, but he can check the rebellion of the world, but he has more important Wuzhou Don't drive to take office, and he can't stay in Yangzhou at all.

After all, this matter will still be investigated and tried by the Governor's Mansion, and there will be more room for buffering.

Chang Yu couldn't wait to send Li Xuan away now, but he couldn't let him leave easily, if there was no reasonable reason for this matter, he could only say a few words to the prince casually, and they would not be able to eat and walk around.

After all, now that Li Xian has begun to deal with the government as the crown prince, the affairs of Yangzhou will inevitably fall into the hands of the prince in the end.

Li Xuan's gaze fell on Xu Ji, who was already expressionless not far away, and finally turned to look at He Chang.

"Now this and the third master are here, Sima, please ask where these blades and armor of theirs came from, who built them, where they were built, where they were finally shipped, how much they were transported, and to whom they were shipped, all of which must be checked and reported to the center." Li Xuan gritted her teeth and looked at He Chang.

It was he who made Li Xuan's trip to Wuzhou several times more risky.

Although Li Xuan is also the general of Zuo Qianniu Wei Zhonglang, he simply does not have enough manpower to investigate this matter, and the only person he can rely on is the Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and now he only hopes that they can find that batch of weapons and intercept them back.

"Don't worry, the Governor's Mansion will mobilize all the torture experts of the Assassin Mansion and the county government to ask them again." Chang Yu looked at He Chang, and his eyes were also about to burst into flames.

Putting aside rights and responsibilities, Yangzhou City suddenly appeared so many absences

The ordnance of the book is also a threat to Yangzhou.

Although they were almost certain that the Tianyin Sect would not take the initiative to attack Yangzhou City, in case, even if they only caused chaos, it would be enough for the officials of Yangzhou City to drink a good pot.
