Everyone was talking about the quality complaints about Meteor 6, when Yang Song suddenly said "Yang Anlai". Jia Cong hurriedly asked: "How is An'er?"
Yang Song said: "The one who can break a good gun must be one of our own. Who else can break a good gun?"
Wu Xiaoxi immediately said: "The Malays use this kind of gun a lot, and An'er is the most familiar with it."
Yang Song hummed: "With his white eyebrows and red eyes, he left all the people he brought with him, how could it not be for a reason? Who is he trying to coax?"
Jia Cong immediately said: "Contact him! Once the soldiers fight with the people, they will massacre, not to mention they have firearms."
Yang Song said: "I can't get in touch." He looked at Ge Qiao and asked, "Does the shipyard have any clues?"
Ge Qiao thought to himself: "I knew that shopkeeper Wu was leaving today, so I came over anxiously to ask her to identify the gun, without checking it carefully. I'm going to go back and dig through the shipyard from scratch."
Jia Cong raised his right hand: "Don't worry, let's sort out the clues. It is known that the robbers' guns are all Meteor 6, and they can't shoot bullets, which is the same as the problem complained by the four countries. This model has just been launched recently, red
Bones sends out good guns. Basically, it can be judged that these four countries are a group and somehow arranged for the robbers to carry out terrorist attacks against civilians in Tianjin. However, they did not succeed. It is most likely that An'er was causing trouble.
.According to the investigation in the past few months, An'er's disappearance should be active, not passive. He and the little saint who disappeared almost at the same time are probably related to a Guo man who came back from the south, who may be an eunuch, and a
They left the capital at the same time as the other kings and were together with Monk Jianru, who had just returned from his travels recently. Judging from the time, these two people should be in the same group. They left the capital at the same time and returned to the capital at the same time, and they were probably subordinates of a certain prince.
I tend to think that the person named Guo is really an eunuch. Then, the probability of the little saint being deceived and coerced is relatively high. Now it is speculated that the people on the other side are: Jin, Qi, Chen, Song, Siguo, Guy Guo, Jianru monk, little saint. An'er is mixed in
There's an undercover agent inside doing sabotage. So, how did An'er get in."
Feng Ziying said: "On the day An'er injured Liu's brother, Guo did not go to see the Empress Dowager."
Jia Cong said "Yeah": "But he saw An'er hurt Tong'er; he also heard that he was beaten more than ten times by a relative of Qin Keqing's subordinates, a certain imperial guard. He came from Nanyang, and we
There is no involvement. He is very skilled in martial arts, knows how to use firearms, and has a good character. I know that I would like to give gifts to express my gratitude for living in someone's home."
Lin Daiyu added with a smile: "It's not a popular thing, I don't know that it is not appropriate for a male guest to give the hostess makeup."
Jia Cong went on to say: "He is casual and generous. He gave away such expensive powder at will. He is indeed a talent that can be fought for. He also has strong comprehensive ability and is very easy to be reused after being displayed. Therefore, he can have access to all the muskets and use them for a while."
The methods are completely predictable. After all, we are the strong party and they are the weak party, so it is not easy to find talents."
Zhan Kun thought: "If there is a monk on the other side, and he still eats fast and chants sutras, it is not surprising why Qin Niang in Huancai Pavilion was not silenced. After reciting sutras for so many years, he can recite sutras a little bit, and if he can, he will not kill animals."
.”
Jia Cong nodded: "From leaving Huancai Pavilion to giving He Xiaonan a musket and dagger, An'er must have been recruited by the enemy. And he still had time to buy some snacks, which shows that he has a relatively high degree of freedom. From the side
It means that the opponent is short of manpower and cannot target him to death. The four countries have all reported that there is a problem with the quality of the guns, which shows that An'er has the conditions to attack the muskets of all four countries. The probability of the guns being concentrated in one place is the highest."
Zhan Kun said: "He can go to all four countries, and the distance is not too far."
Jia Cong said: "It has been more than three months. He should have had many ways to contact us, but none of them have. On the one hand, he is used to being independent, and on the other hand, he is confident that he can solve the matter safely by himself. If
Scattered among the four countries, it was difficult for him to control the situation. Especially the muskets of the four countries all sometimes fired bullets and sometimes failed. When the engineer looked at it, it was fine, but when he turned around, it was no longer working. He put the gun before the engineer arrived.
Once it’s done, he’ll break it after they leave. He has to be in constant contact with all the guns to do it. Also, the other party must not have any experts, otherwise they can expose him on the spot. Everyone in the four countries has bought muskets, right Xiaoxi?”
Wu Xiaoxi nodded: "Even the Song Dynasty has been buying muskets for many years. There are experts in all countries."
Jia Cong snapped his fingers: "Don't worry. The four countries have no sincerity in forming an alliance. No one is willing to show off even a musket expert. So why did they kidnap the little saint? Ordinary people may take the little saint seriously. These
The prince doesn’t know that. I’m afraid no one, including the King of Song Dynasty, will look down upon him.”
Zhan Kun said: "Even if you are a robber, you have to have a sign, right? The little saint is that sign."
"That's right." Jia Cong held his chin and said, "Another question. Who is so capable that he can bring four unrelated vassal states together? I can't find one. And he doesn't seem to have strong overall strength.
Master, how else can An'er deal with it alone? How on earth did that person do it? Just rely on words? Apart from me, is there anyone else in the world who has a very good tongue?"
Lin Daiyu smiled and said: "You are only allowed to ride on the Hot Wheels, and others are not allowed to swing the golden cudgel?" Then she looked at everyone and said, "At first, Xiaoxi guessed where King Song got so much money to buy muskets. Now it seems that he is probably buying muskets for others.
Bought."
Jia Cong nodded repeatedly: "That's right. Bandits and robbers, shopkeeper Wu Da won't do business with them. Probably these four houses were bought for others." Then he said "Oops", "There is a new problem. Jin Wang Qi Wang Chen
The king is different from the king of Song. They are both rich people. There is no need to earn pocket money by helping the bandits to purchase firearms. The Jin country has been quite prosperous in recent years - Huh? Brother Han Qi didn't get any news about this matter? He was caught out
Hiding it? He is an important minister. Purchasing weapons is not a trivial matter, so why did Prince Jin hide it from him?"
Feng Ziying patted the desk: "Yes, even Han Qi doesn't know. Send him a telegram and ask." After saying that, he stood up and wanted to go out and send the telegram himself.
Wu Xiaoxi hurriedly said: "We have sent people to Chen State to complain about the quality of Meteor 6. They are most likely to be in Chen State. You should try your best to check and see if there is anything weird." Feng Ziying nodded.
Then she walked out. She added, "Check the eunuchs who are the confidants of the kings in the south."
Feng Ziying had already walked to the door. She grabbed the door and said: "All the southern countries have been divided. How many eunuchs from Beijing can there be? Of the princes of the previous generation, only the two of Shu and Qi are still alive. They just died.
He fell in love with the King of Wu, indulged in wine and sex, and emptied his body..." Before he finished speaking, he patted the door panel, "If the King of Wu dies, will the eunuchs who are his confidants be free?"
Everyone looked at each other for a moment, and Jia Cong weakly raised a hand: "What's in it...Did we only check the portrait of Brother Guo in Yan State and not pass it elsewhere?"
Feng Ziying looked at Zhan Qiao: "Did the old man send him to Wu State?"
Zhan Qiao said: "I haven't cared about these trivial matters for many years, and I occasionally come out to help you. Isn't this your errand?"
"But you are not in charge of this matter..." Before she finished speaking, Feng Ziying saw Zhan Qiao's face darken and quickly raised a hand, "I was wrong! It should be my job!"
Jia Cong couldn't help laughing. After laughing twice, Lin Daiyu shouted: "What are you laughing at? Is it funny?"
Jia Cong winced: "It's not funny, it's not funny at all!"
Zhan Kun also said: "This is an internal problem, and the intelligence system should also deal with it."
Feng Ziying nodded: "Tomorrow I will go to Mr. Zhan's Yamen to discuss it. I will send a telegram to Han Qi first." Then he opened the door and walked out.
In the evening, Han Qi called back: He tested the King of Jin, and judging from his expression, it was clear that he had bought firearms for others, but he was definitely not a bandit. He also said that three months ago, King Chen sent someone to see the King of Jin, saying that there was an extremely important clan.
The king of Jin could only report the matter to the King of Jin. Everyone said it was "family affairs," so Han Qi couldn't ask. Feng Ziying thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't figure out how King Chen could make trouble with his temperament.
He also offended the State of Yan. When Jia Cong learned about it, he said: "Carrying out terrorist attacks and letting soldiers kill people is a clan affair? Even his own father would not dare to say that."
Now that several clues pointed to King Chen, Wu Xiaoxi got up and rushed to Chenzhou the next day. When he got there, he checked and found that a thousand muskets were all of good quality, and none of them could not shoot bullets. King Chen sent a general named Li
He came to negotiate. He said: "I have tried many times, but it is absolutely true that the bullets cannot be fired. I originally had about 20 bullets that were always good. I took them out for training a few days ago, but they can't be fired again."
Wu Xiaoxi's eyes moved slightly: the number of robbers in the Tianjin Shipyard happened to be more than twenty. She thought for a long time and said: "This matter is strange. General Li, the things are just there. Once we checked, there is really no problem, but you guys used them
It's really not good. I believe that General Li will not be idle and look for me to complain. You see, this is good. We will take back all these Meteor 6s, return them to the original factory, and make a new batch for you. The one at the front
Treat this batch of bullets as if we were giving them to King Chen, and give them to you. We’ll give you a 10% discount on the new batch of bullets. What do you think, General Li?"
General Li thought for a long time and said: "I will never be able to decide this matter. I have to go back and ask the prince for advice."
Wu Xiaoxi said with a smile: "Of course."
General Li immediately went to Prince Chen's Mansion to report the matter. He finally said: "Your Majesty, it's not easy for us to offend Red Bones. All the guns in the country are in their hands."
King Chen nodded: "This kind of treatment can be considered sincere. The bullets are quite expensive." Then he agreed.
After finishing his official duties, King Chen ate some snacks, stood up and stretched his muscles, ordered someone to change into common people's clothes, and went out through the small door in the back garden of the palace. The ordinary people naturally did not recognize the prince, and no one paid attention to him.
.Leave the city gate and go straight to Cifu Temple on the outskirts of the city. This temple was built by King Chen for his mother, Concubine Hui. He often came here to seek peace and quiet when he had nothing to do.
The presiding monk rushed out to greet him and chatted with him for a while. King Chen asked, "Where is Master Jianru?"
The presiding monk said: "It's in Zhandou Garden."
King Chen said: "You don't need to accompany me. The lonely king will go on his own." The presiding monk recited the Buddha's name, as if he had something to say. He hesitated for a moment and finally said nothing.
King Chen led several guards to the Zhan Dou Garden at the back. He saw a fat black monk sitting at a stone table under the rockery and playing chess with others. Opposite him was a young man in his twenties, who was about the same age as the monk.
King Hei and Chen approached, and the young man shouted: "You are too bullying! You can't stop it!"
The monk smiled and said, "You only guarded against the vehicles and artillery, but you didn't pay attention to the pawns?"
The young man grinned: "I...I forgot that pawns can walk sideways when crossing a river." He lightly slapped himself, "'Pawns crossing a river should walk sideways'. I heard this saying when I was a child, but I just
I don’t know what it means. How could I forget it just now?” The monk laughed.
King Chen had been standing by for a long time, gritting his teeth secretly: These two people had never taken him seriously. Then he coughed. The monk stood up and said, "Your Highness is here?"
King Chen said: "The people from Red Bones are here today."
"how?"
King Chen then told what happened. "Master, what do you think?"
Before the monk could say anything, the young people rushed to shout: "How many important things have been delayed for us! Only a 10% discount? Are you not allowed to compensate us for lost work time?"
King Chen glanced at him: "You will have to buy bullets from them in the future. What's the benefit of offending them? They can obviously shoot bullets, and they are willing to return them. The discount is already good."
The young man sneered: "If you have money, don't you make money? Prince, don't worry and ask them for discounts. As a businessman, you won't lose face if you have money."
King Chen said coldly: "There are too many people looking for them to buy firearms. I don't care about your few coins."
The monk glanced at the young man. The young man covered his mouth. The monk said: "Since the prince thinks this condition is acceptable, I agree."
The young man let go of his hand covering his mouth: "How long will it take for them to exchange the goods? Will it take us too long?"
King Chen thought: "It will take at least two or three months. Shopkeeper Wu will definitely have to go to other countries first and replace the remaining 2,500 guns."
The young man muttered: "She must have imported seafood from abroad. She won't wait for the seafood dealer to take the goods away and bring back new ones before shipping them to us."
King Chen immediately said: "Their warehouse is in Ping'an Prefecture."
"Okay, okay, I'm just a little guy anyway." The young man made a face.
The monk said: "That's it, let's follow them. The 10% off money will be used to buy some dry food for the brothers who are running errands under the prince." King Chen nodded. The two said something else, Chen
The king then returned.
As soon as Chen Wang left, the young man breathed out: "Master, are you going to have a few months of free time in the future? Where can we go to have fun?"
The monk glared at him: "What are you playing for? You just got such an idea, you are not allowed to practice?"
"You still need to practice?" the young man said, "You can train like this now. Can't you train to become a regular army? How are you like bandits? Anyway, we don't fight with officers and soldiers. It's so easy to pick up a gun and hit ordinary people. Those people are unarmed.
.”
The monk was stunned for a long time, then he folded his hands and said "Amitabha".
The young man leaned over and glanced at him: "Master, that time... weren't you very lucky?"
The monk lowered his eyes: "What are you glad about?"
"I'm glad the gun is broken." The young man said, "Whose bastard grandson who has lost his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys came up with the idea! He's not afraid of annihilating his descendants."
For a long time, the monk closed his eyes and sighed: "The country of Yan is becoming increasingly powerful, and there is really no other way."
The young man snorted, turned around and walked inside, saying, "No matter how you decide, retribution will not come to me."
The monk sighed lightly and murmured: "Just give retribution to the poor monk."
