"Who is that Mr. Gu Liang?!" Li Shimin slowly closed his eyes, no longer looking at the miserable Hou Junji, and asked solemnly: "Did he steal the secret recipe for firearms under your instruction?"
"No! I was wronged!" Hou Junji knelt on the ground, his body trembled, and then he burst into tears!
"He is just an aide of the minister, and he has only known me for a few months! I saw that he was steady and steady, so I asked him to help the guilty minister look after the firearms workshop in the Qinling Mountains! Who knew that he would dare to take this opportunity to steal the secret recipe! The guilty minister really knows nothing about this!"
"What? You and he have only known each other for a few months?"
Hearing Hou Junji's words, Xiao Han and Li Shimin couldn't help but be startled.
Hou Junji dared to be so reassured about a person he had only known for a few months and let him take care of such an important place? !
"Aren't you lying to me?!" Taking a deep breath, Li Shimin stood up slowly, stared at Hou Junji, and asked word for word!
"I dare not!" Hou Junji kowtowed repeatedly: "If you don't believe it, your Majesty can go check the people close to me. This person has indeed just come to me."
"How did you get to know this person, and where is he from?" Seeing that Hou Junji didn't look like he was faking it, Li Shimin walked from behind the desk to him and asked coldly.
Hou Junji did not dare to raise his head to look at Li Shimin, so he could only lower his head and reply: "I met this man accidentally when I was hunting in the countryside. At that time, because he saw his extraordinary conversation, he invited him to join the government one after another... as a steward." , But I never thought that this person would actually harbor trouble! "
What Hou Junji said is actually somewhat untrue.
During his time in the sky prison, he had carefully reflected on everything that had happened recently, trying to find the real reason why it was his turn to end up like this.
As a result, after thinking about it countless times, Hou Junji suddenly discovered: It seems that all of this happened after Mr. Gu Liang arrived!
Including his sudden ambition, his cooperation with aristocratic families, and his greed for the Qinling Firearms Workshop, Mr. Gu Liang's figure is revealed in them all!
However, Hou Junji will never say these words! Not only can't he say it, but he now extremely hopes that Mr. Gu Liang will die in this catastrophe. In that case, the thoughts he once had will not be noticed by others!
"Hunting, chance encounters, stewardship, firearms..."
The thoughts in Hou Junji's mind were racing, and Li Shimin was also silent in front of him.
months ago?
During that time, it should be the time when firearms showed their power on the grassland and shocked the world!
This Mr. Gu Liang didn’t show up earlier or later, but he just showed up at that time!
And as soon as he appeared, he deliberately approached Hou Junji, who was a general at the time. Is this a coincidence? Or on purpose! If it was intentional, then what is his identity? What do you think?
"Xiao Han! How many firearm secrets can be leaked this time!" His mood sank little by little. After a while, Li Shimin slowly turned around and looked at Xiao Han!
Xiao Han heard the words, smiled bitterly, cupped his hands and replied: "Your Majesty, the Qinling Workshop collapsed too much! I don't know how many of those people survived, and I don't know how much information they took away. But one thing is for sure, if they have If one person can bring out those information, then he can immediately create a firearm that is 60% as powerful as ours!"
"Sixty percent power! All you need is the information!" When Li Shimin heard this number, his eyes went dark and his body shook a few times.
How powerful is 60%?
Just look at the Qinling Mountains that were almost destroyed by bombs! Don’t say 60%! Even if it is 10%, it is an endless threat to them!
"Check! Seal the entire Qinling Mountains for me! Check everyone! In case they have any back-up plans, no matter who they are, as long as they have written words, destroy them all! Once there is resistance or suspects are found! It is better to kill the wrong person !Don’t let it go!”
When the emperor was angry, he laid down millions of corpses and blood flowed for thousands of miles!
Although Li Shimin was not a tyrant like Shang Zhou, he easily killed tens of thousands of people! But under his overwhelming anger, countless soldiers and generals immediately set off to the Qinling Mountains to search for all suspicious elements.
However, how easy is it to search for one or a few targets that you don't even know exist in thousands of miles of mountains? .
At dusk, Xiao Han and Hou Junji finally walked out of the palace.
As the person most responsible for this matter, Hou Junji never returned to the prison.
Although, this incident was almost entirely caused by him! But Li Shimin still couldn't be so cruel to his brother who followed him through life and death!
Finally, when he suddenly came to his senses, he only cut off his official body and ordered him to go home for treatment.
"Xiao Hou, I will never thank you for your kindness. Those who need me in the future will go through fire and water."
At the entrance of the palace, Hou Junji, who was holding on to his last bit of energy, bowed to Xiao Han to the end and said gratefully.
However, Xiao Han just glanced at him and strode away.
"No need to thank me, I'm just reporting the truth! If you want to thank me, just thank your Majesty for your kindness!"
In the dusk, Xiao Han's words came faintly. Hou Junji's body trembled slightly, a glimmer of light flashed in his lowered eyes, and at the same time, veins popped up in his hands that were bowing!
——————
Qinling's case was solved by Xiao Hou!
As soon as this news came out, there was no doubt that it set off a wave of enthusiasm among the people of Chang'an, who were known for their good deeds.
"Hey, have you heard about it? That thing in Qinling was not a divine punishment at all. It was a 250-year-old craftsman who accidentally broke the firearm in the warehouse and blew up the mountain!" On the street somewhere, Zhao Wu said mysteriously Pulling Liu San and saying.
Liu Sanze, who was pulled back, glanced at Zhao Wu with a look of disdain: "Humph, you just know? I heard it from my neighbor's uncle's niece a long time ago! And you don't know it yet, right?!
When His Majesty learned of this, not only did he not hold anyone responsible, but he also ordered people to bury the dead craftsmen and sergeants generously! The most important thing is that his old man also allocated a large pension to each deceased person's home! Tsk tsk, those golden copper coins are enough for a family to survive for several years..."
"Bah!" Zhao Wu, who had failed to show off but was being shown off, said hurriedly: "Our Majesty is young! What do you mean he is old? You are old, and His Majesty will not be old! But, how can you get from your neighbor's uncle? Did you hear the news from your niece? Could it be that between you..."
"Ahem! Don't spread rumors! We are innocent! Purer than the water of the Wei River outside the city!"
"Uh, Weihe River water? Isn't that guy always a fool..."
Conversations similar to those between Liu San and Zhao Wu can be heard in the streets and alleys of Chang'an.
The theories of divine punishment and gods and monsters that were once popular on the streets of Chang'an also melted away like ice and snow amid the conversation and laughter, leaving no traces.
Thunder Lord? That's for fighting bad guys!
In the Tang Dynasty, our majesty is wise, our ministers are honest, and our people are honest. How can we be struck by lightning?
It must be some bastard who accidentally got into trouble! That must be it!
