Chapter 66 Zhengyang Lei [Please read it! 】
“Commander Hu, to be honest, there is indeed a batch of goods in this warehouse that disappeared in the fire in which my husband died.”
Faced with Liang Yue’s questioning, everyone in the store Their expressions changed, but Mrs. Zhang remained calm. After answering, she asked a rhetorical question.
She lowered her voice and said: "Are you sure you want to know what those goods are?"
Hu Tiehan said: "I have to confirm whether it is related to the murder."
< br>
"Okay." Mrs. Zhang nodded, and then said: "Let me take a step to speak."
She pulled Lao Hu outside the warehouse and whispered something to him.
The three little ones were leaning against the window, peeking at the situation outside.
Liang Yue pricked up his ears, but couldn't hear anything.
On the other hand, it was Chen Ju who squinted his eyes and said: "Commander Hu, the slave family has realized their mistake. What was lost in the warehouse is indeed contraband... Mrs. Zhang, hehe, neither do you. Do you hope that the imperial court will know about this? ... Commander Hu, you don’t want to be like this..."
Pang Chun said in surprise: "Chen Ju, how did you hear them? Teach me, I want to listen too."
Chen Ju glanced at him and said, "It's very simple. You can also do it. First, focus your energy on your ears, sink your energy into your Dantian, bow down your waist, and concentrate your energy, and then start knitting."
Pang Chun has been following his instructions. Hearing the last word, he was suddenly startled: "Huh?"
Liang Yue ignored the two of them playing tricks and said to himself: "But looking at Commander Hu's expression, it should be very surprising."
Although he couldn't hear the sound from the other side, Lao Hu's thoughts were all on his face, and his eyes were so wide that they almost fell out of their sockets, so it couldn't be fake.
really.
After a while, Hu Tiehan came back from outside, and then said to everyone in a deep voice: "It's time to call it a day. Zhang Xingkai died of suicide. It is recorded in the book, so there is no need to call the Ministry of Punishment."
Chen Ju smiled proudly: "Look, you still have to use my strategy!"
"It's amazing, you really predicted it." Pang Chun said in surprise.
Liang Yue looked at Hu Tiehan strangely, curious about what he heard just now?
When everyone was cleaning up the scene, he stepped forward and asked: "Brother Hu, there is obviously something inside this matter, so we just ignore it? If we are investigated in the future, won't we be responsible?"
Hu Tiehan She glanced at him subtly and said, "Since you are the one asking, let me tell you, do you know what is in their warehouse?"
"What is it?" Liang Yue Wondered.
Hu Tiehan paused slightly and said: "Zhengyang Thunder, a total of three hundred Zhengyang Thunder!"
Liang Yue's pupils trembled, and he was greatly surprised.
Zhengyang Lei.
This is ordnance!
It was because he was in the imperial guard that he heard about this thing. It is said to be a magical weapon filled with the energy of Yang Fire. It was buried underground when defending the city, and it was extremely powerful when detonated.
However, no war has threatened Longyuan City for hundreds of years, so there are not many stocks in the city.
In the three Imperial Guard offices in the east, south and west, there are usually 300 coins in stock each.
"Actually, I have heard about these things for a long time." Hu Tiehan sighed, "It is nothing new in the Imperial Guard."
He pointed to the door and said: "These businesses , there is no ungodly purpose in purchasing these things. It's just that Yuezhou is very mountainous, and the construction of rock and gravel is all done by manpower, which is very costly. People often die in the mountains with magic weapons of this level. , which can greatly reduce the difficulty of digging mountains, so they sometimes buy it from Yuduwei."
"But this deal..." Liang Yue frowned and said, "Isn't it too risky?" >
"It may seem huge, but in fact, there is generally no risk." Lao Hu explained: "The storage period of Zhengyang Lei is three years. Once the Yang Fire within three years is unstable, there will be risks. , the Imperial Guards must destroy them. The general government will usually sell these Zhengyang Lei to them half a year in advance. As long as no one attacks Longyuan City in the past six months, no one will find it. There will be a war, and these Zhengyang Lei will be wasted in vain. If they use it to make a profit, they can make the best use of it. "
Listening to what he said, Liang Yue also understood the benefit. The existence of the chain is still based on the peace of Longyuan City.
There must be a reserve of ordnance. It is impossible to wait for the war to begin before weapons, armor, and various magical weapons are distributed to the soldiers.
But it is true that Longyuan City has not been touched by soldiers for hundreds of years, and many of the ordnance inside have been used up in vain, and then they were destroyed centrally.
The commander of the Imperial Guard secretly sells ordnance that is about to expire, and then pretends to destroy it soon after. This kind of thing is definitely not uncommon among the Imperial Guard.
This Zhengyang Lei that has been stored for two and a half years is definitely not the only one.
Because the benefits of this matter are huge, it is indeed not easy to find when it is implemented.
"And this kind of thing that the imperial court will never allow to spread to the people, the buyers who sell it to the general office must know the details. They must make sure that the Yueyang business name is used for engineering projects before selling it." Old Hu continued: "The Yueyang business name is used for construction projects." Since the Yang business name can be purchased, there must be someone with enough weight to guarantee it. Unfortunately..."
"With such a commotion, Zhengyang Lei is lost, and something big has happened," Liang Yue continued. road.
"Not bad!" Hu Tiehan nodded and said: "If these Zhengyang Lei are used for any treacherous purpose, no one in this line will be able to reap the benefits."
"Then let's Do nothing?" Liang Yue asked again.
Lao Hu looked helpless, "What to do? Report the situation to the general office?"
Liang Yue thought so, and that was true.
The people above must have known the news first, and they were more anxious than them.
No matter which general office sold this batch of Zhengyang Lei, it must be the three city general offices looking for it together, because everyone is unclean.
“Someone will come to find these Zhengyang Lei. If no one finds them, then they hope nothing big happens.” Old Hu spread his hands and said, “We don’t need to go to this matter. Let's just pretend that we don't know and just assume that Zhang Xingkai committed suicide. As for who killed him and who took Zhengyang Lei, it's not something we need to worry about." Liang Yue thought about it, and that's really it. A truth.
From Lao Hu's point of view, he found out something terrible about his immediate boss, and he didn't know if anyone else was there. It was really best to pretend to be stupid.
No wonder Mrs. Zhang dared to tell him about this.
If those people in the chain of interests can find out who killed Zhang Xingkai and trace the whereabouts of Zhengyang Lei, then everything will continue as usual and pretend that nothing happened; if they can't find the murderer and Zhengyang Thunder, then just hope that nothing big happens, otherwise when the Zhengyang thunder explodes, all the grasshoppers on the rope will die.
As the Imperial Guard Station at the bottom of the food chain, doing nothing is the best.
“We Imperial Guards are at the bottom of the court. When we do things, we not only have to think about how to do it, but also whether we need to do it, so that we can protect ourselves.” Lao Hu recounted his experience talk.
In the time it took to say a few words here, the scene had been tidied up and the bodies had been restrained.
A carriage slowly drove over. Mrs. Zhang stood next to the carriage and said to Hu Tiehan: "Commander Hu and the brothers are here to thank you. I will ask the housekeeper to thank you all later. From last night to now I didn’t take much rest, so I went back to take a rest. I still have a lot of things to do later.”
“Mrs. Zhang has really worked hard, so please forgive her,” said Hu Tiehan.
The two of them already knew each other's thoughts, and they still spoke in official terms.
Just when the coachman opened the carriage curtain and Mrs. Zhang was about to enter, a ray of dark wind suddenly blew out from inside.
Liang Yue suddenly smelled a hint of danger.
I have been practicing with the Great Demon King of White Plains every day for the past few days. It is definitely a lie to say that I have not made any progress. Nowadays, his reaction speed to danger may not be comparable to that of Hu Tiehan, who is at a higher level.
Feeling this sinister wind, Liang Yue's hair quivered inexplicably, and he immediately shouted: "Be careful!"
Seeing that the coachman and Mrs. Zhang were in front of him, he did not escape immediately, Instead, he grabbed the two of them with one hand, and the Sword Domain Wandering Dragon's body skills were fully activated under his feet. He suddenly turned into a group of afterimages and swept back a few feet away.
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling red light lit up from the carriage, containing huge solar energy, all bursting out from it, extremely hot!
Boom——
With a loud explosion, the entire carriage shattered on the spot, the horse disappeared, and it turned into a rain of blood.
Even though Liang Yue got out of the way immediately, he was still blown away by the strong explosion for more than ten feet, and then landed heavily.
There was a bang, my ears were buzzing, and I felt like the world was spinning.
After a while, he finally saw what was in front of him clearly.
Mrs. Zhang and the coachman seemed to be injured less than herself because they were thrown out by her, and they were also in a daze at this moment. A group of imperial guards drew their swords in their hands and gathered around in confusion.
It took a while before the scene settled down.
Mrs. Zhang stood up and said to Liang Yue: "Thank you Liang Duwei for saving your life."
"That's right." Liang Yue nodded lightly and did not take any more credit.
Looking back at Lao Hu, I found that his dark face had completely turned into charcoal gray and he was standing there tensely.
"Brother Hu, are you okay?" Liang Yue asked, holding back a smile.
"Xiao Liang, let's discuss something...cough." As soon as Old Hu spoke, a puff of smoke came out first, "Next time there is danger, please call me."
Liang Yuedao: "I thought Brother Hu's cultivation level was much higher than mine, so he should be able to get out of the way..."
"Okay, I understand." Hu Tiehan stopped him. It would be embarrassing if he continued. , after thinking about it, he added: "Of course I also hid, but I didn't dodge completely."
Liang Yue changed the topic and asked: "What kind of explosion is this, so powerful?"
Hu Tiehan said in a deep voice: "This is... Zhengyang Lei."
Is this it?
Liang Yue then realized how powerful the three hundred missing pieces were.
"It seems that they not only killed my husband, but also wanted to kill me." Mrs. Zhang looked resolute, and it seemed that the explosion just now did not frighten her.
"Do you need to send some brothers to protect the safety here?" Hu Tiehan asked.
"No need to bother Commander Hu." Mrs. Zhang said with a serious expression: "I would like to see what other methods they have."
Lao Hu was just being polite out of his duties as a junior guard officer. In fact, he didn't want to deal with this muddy water at all. Since Mrs. Zhang said this, he naturally got off the slope and called the brothers to finish their work.
Wash your face first before going back.
Everyone was about to leave.
Liang Yue suddenly saw a familiar figure walking in.
A thin young man dressed in white, with clear eyes, walking from a distance, was none other than Li Mo, a disciple of Fu Lu's lineage whom he had seen that day.
He waved enthusiastically from afar: "Mrs. Zhang! My good sister, I'm here to give you the talisman again!"
Good morning.
