Su Yizhao didn't expect that the fifth prince would go with her. Maybe the fifth prince had more evidence than she did.
"What do you think is fishy?" Su Yizhao asked tentatively.
The fifth prince's subsequent analysis was just like Su Yizhao's guess. Su Yizhao was silent at first, and then asked: "Is it just based on speculation? Does your highness have any evidence?"
"Look at this!" The fifth prince took something from the entourage behind him and placed it on the table.
Su Yizhao heard a dull sound, which was very heavy.
Take a closer look, isn't this the tip of a spear?
He held it in his hand and inspected it carefully. It was very well forged and made of fine iron, glowing with a cold black light.
The top of the gun head was very sharp. Su Yizhao felt that as long as a long pole was inserted into it, it would become a sharp weapon.
The fifth prince looked at a pair of plain hands slowly turning the gun head. The black and white were clear, and there was an extremely contrasting beauty.
Suddenly thinking of something, Su Yizhao turned the head of the spear over and glanced at the hollow where the tail end was inserted into the long pole.
She finally saw something unusual. Originally, there should be a government seal there, but now there was a smooth area inside, which was very unnatural.
"This was originally a seal, but now it has been smoothed." Su Yizhao touched it with his hand and found that the area was quite smooth.
"That's right! There are no traces of the approval seal, which is a problem in itself. Why should the approval seal be smoothed? Isn't it questionable?"
The fifth prince took the spear head. The spear head was very finely forged and could be considered top quality.
"Where did you get it?" Su Yizhao asked.
"In an abandoned warehouse of the Ordnance Bureau, the Ordnance Bureau has discarded items, which are stored there for processing first. There are many goods like this in the warehouse, and the lower part of them has been smoothed, and there are
Some of them were not approved in the first place.”
Su Yizhao frowned, "What are the reasons? Why was it abandoned?"
"It stands to reason that only those that fail the inspection will be discarded and placed in the warehouse. They should be melted and re-forged in the future." The fifth prince snorted coldly.
"But I think this spear head is very well forged. If there is no other way, I wouldn't believe it."
Su Yizhao looked at the head of the gun again. Under the sunlight, it glowed with a cold light.
"Did they just put it in the warehouse so blatantly? His Highness has been taking over the Ordnance Bureau for two years, right? Didn't he find anything unusual?"
The fifth prince sighed, "Every time I go on an inspection tour, I only see how their forging is and whether the tests pass, so why would I go to the warehouse? Besides, the pig iron production in the past two years has been pretty good, and the quantities are all right.
Naturally, I won’t find anything unusual.”
He threw the gun tip in his hand on the table, "I discovered this accidentally. If someone hadn't reported it, I would still have been kept in the dark. But after this incident, those people moved the goods in the warehouse, and now there is no
Got the trace."
Su Yizhao wanted to sigh, this was just a warning.
"If they are prepared, it will not be so easy to investigate. Why did they move away? They must have noticed that someone was informing them. Your Highness should clear away the secret piles hidden around you, because your leaks have already made it difficult for me.
"
Su Yizhao didn't have a good face towards the fifth prince now. He originally thought that the fifth prince would have some clues, but he gave him a shot.
The fifth prince touched his nose, feeling a little aggrieved.
"Then I told you! If I didn't tell you, how would you know?"
Su Yizhao rolled his eyes, "I have asked the emperor for instructions to thoroughly investigate the case, and the emperor has given permission. Because of your interference, I lost such a clue."
The fifth prince was a little surprised, "How did you suspect it?"
"I have my own way!" Su Yizhao didn't want to say more. This person had a lot of tricks up his sleeve to avoid being betrayed by him.
The fifth prince curled his lips and said, "If you don't tell me, I won't tell you. But with so many armaments, even if you have to move them, they will definitely leave traces. It's not easy to find a place to hide."
"Hmm! So have you done a trace check? Have you traced the whereabouts?" Su Yizhao asked immediately.
"Trace inspection? What is it? Nothing! Not found at all." The fifth prince shook his head, looking confused.
Su Yizhao took a deep breath and said, "Find an opportunity to take me in and I will inspect it myself."
If such a large amount of armaments were to be moved away, they would definitely leave traces. Even if they were deliberately eliminated, there would still be clues left behind.
"Then you go on patrol with me tomorrow and pretend to be my follower."
This time the fifth prince agreed readily, and then his expression became more relaxed than before.
"Have the hidden stakes around His Highness been removed? I don't want to be murdered."
Su Yizhao followed the fifth prince in, what should he do if he was kidnapped?
If you throw that big iron-burning furnace into it, not even the dregs will be left.
The fifth prince coughed lightly, "Not yet, but I have thought of a way, and the results will be available tonight. Don't worry, I will never let anyone throw you into the furnace."
Su Yizhao twitched the corner of her mouth, why did she feel like this person was like a roundworm in her stomach? She even knew what she was thinking?
"Then I'll wait for the good news. I'll wait for you at the teahouse near the Ordnance Bureau after the court tomorrow."
After Su Yizhao arranged a meeting place with the other party, he was ready to leave.
"Hey~ why are you leaving so early? I have something good to tell you!"
After the fifth prince finished speaking, he heard a knock on the door.
"Sir, people have brought it!"
Su Yizhao looked at the door, and then a woman was pushed in.
"Oh! You are such a rude follower, can't you show mercy to her?"
The woman pulled the tulle on her chest, and then looked at the people in the room.
When she saw two handsome young men staring at her, she smiled brightly.
"Hey! Here are two young masters here today. Are they all here to find me, An Tao?"
The woman picked up the fan and shook it, then twisted her waist and walked over.
"I don't have any other skills. This ability to serve others will definitely satisfy the two young masters. Are you two together or something?"
Su Yizhao was stunned, girl! You are having a great time!
"Hmph! Don't do this, I asked you to come here to ask questions."
The attendant on the side drew out his long sword and placed it on An Tao's neck, with a fierce look on his face.
"Ah~" An Tao screamed, and Su Yizhao quickly stepped forward and covered her mouth.
"Don't scream!" Su Yizhao glared at her, then let go of her hand, and the other party screamed again.
Su Yizhao stepped forward to cover her again, "Stop shouting. No one will come to save you even if your throat is broken."
Huh? Why is this wrong?
The other two people in the room immediately looked at her in surprise. The fifth prince suddenly smiled, and he felt that Su Yizhao was really interesting.
"I'll ask you a few things, and as long as you answer them, I'll give you a reward!"
Su Yizhao took out a banknote from his arms and waved it in front of the woman.
An Tao's eyes suddenly lit up, and then she nodded vigorously.
