Chapter 800: Thorough Investigation
Just a thank you, there was no other words. Lian Zhongwen turned the sword in his hand and inserted it straight into his lower abdomen. He tried his best to do so. The tip of the knife entered from his lower abdomen and penetrated it straight from behind. He spread his hands and tried his best to open it. The man fell heavily from the carriage. His hands seemed to be embracing something. With a bang, dust splashed up, but his hands were still spreading to the sky, with his eyes wide open. There was just a huge cloud floating by in the sky.
Lian Zhongwen died. When he died, there was a hint of smile on his lips.
Everyone was surprised that Lian Zhongwen died so resolutely. Although he hated this person very much, this enemy died so hard that it was admirable.
Yun Zhao sighed and shook his head.
Jamuha's eyes were taken back from Lian Zhongwen, and the saber that was still dripping with blood pointed directly at Zou Peng and others, and said in a sequel: "Are you putting down your weapons and holding your hands away, or following Lian Zhongwen?"
Zou Peng was already injured in many places. Looking at Lian Zhongwen who was lying on the ground, his hands trembled, turned the blade backwards, and he wanted to insert it several times, but he lowered it weakly. The eyes of others were staring at Zou Peng. Finally, in Jamuha's contemptuous gaze, the steel knife in Zou Peng fell to the ground with a sound, and he fell softly to the ground like a mud.
"Tie it!" Jamuha choked and turned back into the sheath and shouted loudly. Meng soldiers rushed up and pressed the remaining assassins down, and tied up the four horses.
On the official road, in a pile of ruins, Wang Bin fell to the ground, his face was a little dull, his body was covered with blood and flesh, and white, red and black flowers covered his whole body and face. Lord Wang Hong Fu Qitian, and the Demon-Subduing Crossbow shot from him. He could not react at all, but his luck was surprisingly good. Several officials from the Works Department around him were almost broken by crossbow arrows, but he was in the middle without any injuries. However, in the blood rain, the Works Department Minister was still falling to the ground. Until all the assassins were captured, he still could not crawl in by himself, and the muscles in his body were still shaking uncontrollably.
"Mr. Wang, I'm frightened!" Yun Zhao walked to Wang Bin, bent down, and helped him up personally. If the other party was a general, I was afraid that Yun Zhao would have kicked the other party and kicked the other party into the riverbed. However, Wang Bin was a scholar and had never seen such a scene of flesh-and-blooded river in his life, so there was no need to blame him. It would be good if he was not scared to faint.
"Prince!" Wang Bin screamed, his voice sharply. Yun Zhao suddenly straightened his waist, which was too harsh. This guy has not returned to normal yet!" Prince!" Wang Bin didn't know where the strength came from, and jumped up suddenly. "Wang Bin has seen the prince!"
Yun Zhao waved his hand and said to Jamuhe behind him: "Send two people to support Lord Wang and go back to the Qinzhou Yamen together, so let's rest first!"
Jamuhe waved his hand, and immediately two Meng soldiers flashed out, clamping Wang Bin from left to right. Wang Bin looked at Yaerdan and Linghua who were walking gracefully beside Yun Zhao, and suddenly felt ashamed. He was actually not as good as a woman. He wanted to leave by himself, but his legs were not obedient, and he could only blush.
In the Qinzhou Prefecture, Yun Zhao sat in the middle, Yardan was still covered with a veil, holding his hands to one side, Jamuhe lived on the other side, in the center of the lobby, the still-glowed demon-subduing crossbow stood there, and everyone's target was focused on this demon-subduing crossbow.
"The Demon-Subduing Crossbow is a powerful weapon in the military. All the manufacturing skills are in Xingling Fengrui Arsenal. It is impossible to spread it outside the world. Besides, even Zhongwen cannot sneak over with a Demon-Subduing Crossbow. So, where did this Demon-Subduing Crossbow come from?" Yun Zhao asked. He must find out about this matter. If the Demon-Subduing Crossbow can be stolen, then how can he feel safe when walking on the North in the future? Not to mention an ordinary senior official in the North, even a martial arts expert like him, who is caught off guard against such a powerful weapon, he will have no power to fight back.
"Prince, the Demon-Subduing Crossbow is a strictly controlled item in the army. No matter which unit, if one Demon-Subduing Crossbow is missing, it will be a great event. Therefore, this Demon-Subduing Crossbow was definitely not stolen from the army." Jamuha was a little confident. After all, it was impossible to walk too far with a Demon-Subduing Crossbow, and the most likely it was obtained from Qinzhou.
"Yes or no, I'll find out after checking it, let's wait for Geng Chong's news!" Yun Zhao said lightly.
Geng Chong was just about to start his assassination operation, and he rushed from Xingling to Qinzhou. His opponent actually used a demon-subduing crossbow to make him sweat all over. The prince was injured and made him feel like he was thundering. This time, he was tied up by the hands of the people sent by Lian Zhongwen in Xingling. After he was dealt with these people, it was too late. No matter what, he was dereliction of duty and ineffective in fighting the enemy. Thinking of these, Geng Chong
The Demon-Subduing Crossbow was so angry that it could only come from the various armies of Qinzhou. The biggest possibility was that it came from the Mongolian army. The Northern Army was extremely strict in guarding the Demon-Subduing Crossbows. Only the Mongolian army was used to being distracted and had just equipped them with a lot of Demon-Subduing Crossbows and supplementary parts. The problem could only come from this aspect. As soon as Xingling arrived, Geng Chong brought a large number of subordinates into the Mongolian army camp and began to thoroughly investigate the relevant information about the Demon-Subduing Crossbows.
The trouble was very serious. Although it was already noon, no one felt hungry. Everyone stayed in the lobby, waiting for Geng Chong's news. If the Demon-Subduing Crossbow really came from various military camps in Qinzhou, I believe that it won't take long before Geng Chong would have a message coming.
In the hall, everyone looked at the Demon-Subduing Crossbow with a serious expression. Wang Bin had recovered at this time, looking at the Demon-Subduing Crossbow, but was thinking in his heart how to invite the prince and the princess to his own water lifting gate to take a look at this magnificent project. However, the princess was injured and the princess looked in good health. How could he persuade them? It was really a headache. Wang Bin was no longer interested in the Demon-Subduing Crossbow. Anyway, his subordinates could not have this thing under his command, and he could not find it on his head no matter how he checked it.
Half an hour later, the back hall brought a bowl of porridge. This was what Yaerdan saw that everyone was staying in the lobby and refused to go to eat, so he specially ordered Linghua to go out to prepare. A bowl of porridge and a steamed bun, everyone ate a little bit on the grass, and finally waited and sweating profusely and angry Geng Chong.
Everyone sat up straight and looked at Geng Chong.
"Is there any result?" Yun Zhao asked in a deep voice.
"There's a result!" Geng Chong bowed in his fists, "Prince, this demon-subduing crossbow did not come from any army stationed in Qinzhou."
As soon as these words were spoken, Jamuha and others immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"But!" Geng Chong's one, but raised everyone's hearts again, "The total thirty-two parts of this Demon-Subduing Crossbow all came from the army stationed in Qinzhou."
Jamukha stood up and looked at Geng Chong, "What do you mean?"
Geng Chong bowed to Jamuha, "General Jamuha, please listen to my detailed explanation. Lian Zhongwen is very cunning. He knew that it would be impossible for him to steal a complete demon-subduing crossbow from the army stationed in Qinzhou. He stole parts of the demon-subduing crossbow from the army stationed in Qinzhou in many times. There were many troops stationed in Qinzhou, not only the Mongolian army near Qinzhou City, but also the other battalions of our Northern Army below. Lian Zhongwen stole the supplementary materials prepared by our logistics camp for the army from these garrisons. These parts were stolen one by one."
Yun Zhao asked in a deep voice: "Our army has strict regulations on the management of military weapons, and things like the Demon-Suppressing Crossbow are even more verified every three days. It takes Lian Zhongwen to collect these things for a while. Why didn't the departments report missing things?"
"Prince, the problem is here. Although there are explicit regulations, the departments did not strictly implement them in reality. The subordinates have interrogated them. They consumed a lot during wartime, and the logistics of each department never investigated such matters. In peacetime, this habit developed during wartime has not been changed." Geng Chong said with a serious expression. "This loophole caused Lian Zhongwen to walk through the logistics warehouse of more than a dozen troops, gathered thirty-two components and dozens of supporting crossbow arrows, and then the demon-subduing crossbow in front of us." He pointed to the dark demon-subduing crossbow in the center of the lobby.
With a bang, Yun Zhao punched the table hard, swept his eyes over Jamuha, suppressed his anger, and asked, "What's the specific situation?"
"Return to the prince, the Mongolian army stationed in Qinzhou with eight battalions of 40,000 people and eight battalions were invested. Twenty-eight parts, including crossbow frames, were stolen from the Mongolian army's barracks. The other four parts and dozens of crossbow arrows were stolen from General Huo Zhenting's sixth battalion and General Meng Yao's third battalion. These parts are numbered on them, so the source can be easily found." Geng Chong said.
"Geng Chong, have you notified Huo Zhenting and Meng Yao?" Yun Zhao's face seemed even worse. Meng Yao's third battalion was the most powerful force under his jurisdiction. Huo Zhenting's sixth battalion grew rapidly in recent years and was also the main battle camp of the Northern Army. He did not expect that these two troops, which should be strictly disciplined, would actually happen to this situation. This is true for the Third Battalion and the Sixth Battalion. The internal disciplines of other units can be imagined.
"I have already informed the two generals of Pegasus that the two generals should be able to arrive from the garrison to Qinzhou City tomorrow." Geng Chong said.
Humph! Yun Zhao sneered a few times, "It's great, our army's logistics camp should be the top priority for protection of each department. It actually allows the thieves to come and go freely. It's really amazing, amazing!"
Jamuha's face turned red and he lowered his head. The eight battle battalions of the 40,000 Mongolian troops stationed in Qinzhou were all his direct troops. The twenty-eight parts came from his subordinate troops, which really left him speechless.
"Zamukha, arrest the officials in charge of logistics in each battalion and the officers in charge of the warehouse immediately." Jaldan stood up and ordered.
