Shen Qin's voice quickly disappeared, and Chu Qingwan pushed Mo Jingyu out of the study and went straight back to his bedroom.
The two of them lived next to each other, so Chu Qing went to the room at night to get an acupuncture kit and gave him acupuncture as usual.
Mo Jingyu changed from his usual nagging behavior, frowned and remained silent, as if something was bothering him.
Chu Qingwan said: "Didn't the bandit suppression end successfully? Why are you still frowning?"
The bandits were almost completely wiped out, and more than half of the officers and soldiers who defected before the battle were lost. The remaining ones were temporarily integrated and assigned to the southwest garrison for training, and then they stayed together in Ruicheng to supervise each other.
Everything seemed to be going very smoothly, and she couldn't figure out what he was worried about even after thinking about it.
Mo Jingyu pinched his eyebrows and said gloomily: "The ordnance was burned cleanly."
Chu Qingwan was shocked: "Ordnance? Are you saying that the fire on the mountain is burning ordnance?"
Murderous intent flashed in Mo Jingyu's eyes: "The warehouse was full, and it's all gone."
Chu Qingwan was shocked.
The mountain is the lair of bandits, and the warehouse that is set on fire can only belong to them. In other words, the bandits who have committed many evil deeds own a warehouse of weapons.
Chu Qingwan did not understand military affairs, but he also knew that ordnance was strictly controlled by the court and existed only in the army and the Ministry of War.
For something as important as this to fall into the hands of bandits, you don't have to think too deeply to know that the stakes are high.
Chu Qingwan pursed her lips: "Then when you go to Ruicheng in person this time, suppressing bandits is secondary, and investigating ordnance is the main task?"
Mo Jingyu hummed a single note with complicated eyes.
Chu Qingwan didn't want to inquire too much, but it was related to whether she could return to Kyoto as soon as possible, so she asked: "Is there any progress?"
Mo Jingyu shook his head solemnly.
Originally, each batch of ordnance had a specific number. After the collection, you only need to go back and check the Ministry of War's warehouse records to find out the truth.
However, that piece of fire that was dropped deliberately burned all the clues.
Even though both he and Shen Qin have suspected candidates, without evidence, it is empty talk no matter how much they say.
Mo Jing was full of irritability, and since he hadn't had a good rest in the past few days, his head began to hurt.
Just as he was about to ask Chu Qingwan for some medicine, he saw her bending down slightly, pressing his temples with both hands, and rubbing them gently.
Mo Jingyu was slightly startled.
Does she have the ability to read minds?
Chu Qingwan said: "Now that the clues have been cut off, what are your next plans?"
Mo Jingyu replied: "Bring Liu Fengyi to trial."
When they were on the mountain, Lin Yu had beaten up Liu Fengyi, who was ready to explain everything to protect his wife and children.
Mo Jingyu deliberately left him alone for a few days to sharpen his mind and prevent him from playing tricks when confessing.
Chu Qingwan said as if chatting: "Is he the mastermind of arms reselling?"
Mo Jingyu said: "The mastermind is someone else, he is the middleman."
He didn't say who it was, so Chu Qingwan guessed that he didn't have enough leverage to hold the other party.
After thinking for a while, she said: "Liu Fengyi's testimony should be of great help."
Mo Jingyu raised his eyebrows and said with great interest: "How do you say this?"
Chu Qingwan analyzed: "Although the fire burned away the clues, Liu Fengyi walked between the bandits and the people behind the scenes and would not leave himself a way out."
"Now that he is in your hands, the people behind the scenes are not sure whether he will betray them. The best solution is to shut him up forever. Only dead people cannot speak."
"Since the person behind the scenes was capable of reselling arms, he must not be a kind person. It is not surprising that he killed Liu Fengyi's wife and children to avoid future troubles."
"In this situation, if Liu Fengyi wants to save his wife and children, he can only choose you."
Chu Qingwan finished speaking in one breath, and when she lowered her eyes, she saw Mo Jingyu staring straight at her.
She was stunned for a moment: "Am I... right?"
Mo Jingyu's lips curved: "We are smart in the evening, of course."
On weekdays, she always finds this troublesome and that troublesome, as if she doesn't want to use her brain too much. In fact, she has a smart mind and understands everything.
Mo Jingyu was once again hopelessly smitten by her charm.
