"Who is that Mr. Gu Liang?!" Li Shimin slowly closed his eyes, no longer looking at the miserable Hou Junji, and asked solemnly: "Is it your instruction that he stole the secret recipe for firearms?"
"No! I was wronged!" Hou Junji knelt on the ground, his body trembled, and then he burst into tears!
"He is just an aide of the minister, and he has only known me for a few months! I saw that he was steady and steady, so I asked him to help the guilty minister look after the firearms workshop in the Qinling Mountains! Who knew that he would dare to take this opportunity to steal the secret recipe!
The guilty minister really knows nothing about this!"
"What? You and he have only known each other for a few months?"
Hearing Hou Junji's words, Xiao Han and Li Shimin couldn't help but be startled.
How dare Hou Junji feel so reassured about a person he has only known for a few months and let him take care of such an important place?!
"Aren't you lying to me?!" Taking a deep breath, Li Shimin stood up slowly, stared at Hou Junji, and asked word for word!
"I dare not!" Hou Junji kowtowed repeatedly: "If you don't believe it, your majesty can go check the people close to me. This person has indeed just come to me."
"How did you get to know this person, and where is he from?" Seeing that Hou Junji didn't look like he was faking it, Li Shimin walked from behind the desk to him and asked coldly.
Hou Junji did not dare to raise his head to look at Li Shimin, so he could only lower his head and reply: "I met this man accidentally when I was hunting in the suburbs. At that time, because he saw his extraordinary conversation, he invited him to join the government one after another... as a steward."
, But I never thought that this person would actually harbor trouble! "
What Hou Junji said is actually somewhat untrue.
During his time in the sky prison, he had carefully reflected on everything that had happened recently, trying to find the real reason why he ended up like this.
As a result, after thinking about it countless times, Hou Junji suddenly discovered: It seems that all of this happened after Mr. Gu Liang arrived!
Including his sudden ambition, his cooperation with aristocratic families, and his greed for the Qinling Firearms Workshop, Mr. Gu Liang's figure is revealed in them all!
However, Hou Junji will never say these words! Not only can't he say it, but he now extremely hopes that Mr. Gu Liang will die in this catastrophe. In that case, the thoughts he once had will not be noticed by others.
!
"Hunting, chance encounters, stewardship, firearms..."
The thoughts in Hou Junji's mind were racing, and Li Shimin was silent in front of him.
months ago?
During that time, it should be the time when firearms showed their power on the grassland and shocked the world!
This Mr. Gu Liang didn’t show up earlier or later, but he just showed up at that time!
Moreover, as soon as he appeared, he deliberately approached Hou Junji, who was a general at the time. Was this a coincidence? Or was it intentional? If it was intentional, then what was his identity? What was his intention?
"Xiao Han! How many firearm secrets were leaked this time!" His mood sank little by little. After a while, Li Shimin slowly turned around and looked at Xiao Han!
Xiao Han heard the words, smiled bitterly, cupped his hands and replied: "Your Majesty, the collapse of the Qinling Workshop was too great! I don't know how many of those people survived, and I don't know how much information they took away. But one thing is for sure, if they have
If one person can bring out those materials, he can immediately create a firearm that is 60% as powerful as ours!"
"Sixty percent power! All you need is the information!" When Li Shimin heard this number, his eyes went dark and his body shook a few times.
How powerful is 60%?
Just look at the Qinling Mountains, which was almost destroyed by bombs! Let alone 60%! Even 10%, for them, it is an endless threat!
"Check! Seal the entire Qinling Mountains for me! Check everyone! In case they have any back-ups, no matter who they are, as long as they have written words, destroy them all! Once there is resistance or suspects are found! It is better to kill the wrong person.
!Don’t let it go!”
When the emperor was angry, he laid down millions of corpses and blood flowed for thousands of miles!
Although Li Shimin was not a tyrant like Shang Zhou, who killed tens of thousands of people at every turn! But under his overwhelming anger, there were still countless soldiers who immediately set off to the Qinling Mountains to search for all suspicious elements.
However, how easy is it to search for one or a few targets that you don’t even know exist among thousands of miles of mountains?
At dusk, Xiao Han and Hou Junji finally walked out of the palace.
As the person most responsible for this matter, Hou Junji never returned to the prison.
Although this incident was almost entirely caused by him! But Li Shimin still couldn't be so cruel to his brother who followed him through life and death!
Finally, he suddenly came to his senses, cut off his official body, and ordered him to go home to wait for treatment.
"Xiao Hou, I don't say thank you for your kindness. If you need me in the future, I will go through fire and water."
At the entrance of the palace, Hou Junji, who was holding on to his last bit of energy, bowed to Xiao Han to the end and said gratefully.
However, Xiao Han only glanced at him and strode away.
"No need to thank me, I'm just reporting the truth! If you want to thank me, just thank your Majesty for your kindness!"
In the dusk, Xiao Han's words came faintly, and Hou Junji's body trembled slightly, a glint of light flashed in his lowered eyes, and at the same time, veins popped up in his hands that were bowing!
——————
The Qinling case was solved by Xiao Hou!
As soon as this news came out, there was no doubt that it set off a wave of enthusiasm among the people of Chang'an, who are known for their good deeds.
"Hey, have you heard? That in Qinling was not a divine punishment at all. It was a 250-year-old craftsman who accidentally broke the firearm in the warehouse and blew up the mountain!" Zhao Wu said mysteriously on the street somewhere.
Pulling Liu San and saying.
Liu Sanze, who was pulled back, glanced at Zhao Wu with a look of disdain: "Humph, you just know? I heard it from my neighbor's uncle's niece a long time ago! And you don't know it yet, right?!
When His Majesty learned of this, not only did he not hold anyone accountable, he also ordered people to bury the dead craftsmen and sergeants generously! The most important thing is that his old man also allocated a large pension to each deceased person's home!
Tsk tsk, those golden copper coins are enough for a family to survive for several years..."
"Bah!" Zhao Wu, who had failed to show off but was being shown off, said hurriedly: "Our Majesty is young! What do you mean by an old man? Even if you are old, His Majesty will not be old either! However, how can you get from your neighbor's uncle?
Did you hear the news from your niece? Could it be between you..."
"Ahem! Don't spread rumors! We are innocent! It is purer than the water of the Wei River outside the city!"
"Uh, Weihe River water? Isn't that guy always a fool..."
Conversations similar to those between Liu San and Zhao Wu can be heard in the streets and alleys of Chang'an.
The theories of divine punishment and gods and monsters that were once popular on the streets of Chang'an also melted away like ice and snow amid the conversation and laughter, leaving no trace anymore.
Lei Gong? He specializes in fighting bad guys!
In the Tang Dynasty, our majesty is wise, our ministers are honest, and our people are honest. How can we be struck by lightning?
It must be some bastard who accidentally got into trouble! That must be it!
