As the son of Du Chenghao, Du Yu naturally has the potential of a little fox because he has been with Du Chenghao since he was a child.
Realizing that Young Master Liu was trying to change the subject, he stopped asking any more questions and turned his head to bring the topic to Meng Hecai.
"Sir, the mold for pouring the plate armor has been found, but the Eight Ox Crossbow has not been found yet. The plate armor mold can be poured on the body, but there is no way to hide something as big as the Eight Ox Crossbow. Even if it is dismantled, it can be seen at a glance. , there is obviously no Eight Bull Crossbow in the caravan, and it cannot be hidden on the body! Can these heavy crossbows fly out of the city out of thin air?"
Liu Mingzhi opened the jade fan and shook it gently: "If you want to find the traces of the Banniu Crossbow, the most important thing is Chang Yunshu, but this person is too mysterious. Chang Yunshu is just a pseudonym! "
"Especially whether the Eight Ox Crossbow is still in the city is still unknown. The only clue now is Meng Hecai."
"Whether this matter has anything to do with Meng Hecai or not is a matter of debate. It seems to me that Meng Hecai was really kept in the dark, but his suspicion cannot be ruled out."
"What if he is a guy with superb acting skills? Now I can only pray that the Eight Bull Crossbow that Xisao obtained is still in the city."
"The most important thing is not to trace the location of these Eight-Niu Crossbows, but to find the person behind the scenes. If this person is not found out, the Eight-Niu Crossbows can be leaked once and countless times!"
"The eight oxen crossbows can be taken out, which means the artillery can also be taken out. This is something I absolutely don't want to see!"
"You have seen the power of artillery in sieges in the Western Regions. I don't want to die under the shells I made one day. Wouldn't that be too frustrating!"
"Where should I check?"
"The troops are divided into two groups, one is in the treasury of the Sixth Guards of Northern Xinjiang, and the other is in the general supervisor and the Ministry of War. The people who can get these are definitely extraordinary!"
"It's just that Chang Yunshu's men escaped. Without tangible evidence, it's difficult to find out who was behind the scenes."
"I hope Mingfeng can lead someone to search for traces of this person!"
"Master, you are back. Brother Mingfeng asked Xiaosong to inform the master that the caravan is now being held in the backyard of the mansion. Are they going to be tried now?"
As soon as Liu Mingzhi and the others returned to the house, Liu Song hurriedly came out to greet them. He must have been waiting for a long time.
"Go now. Finding out earlier can also solve my hidden worries. Otherwise, the Baniu Crossbow incident will be like a stick in my throat, making it hard for me to eat or sleep, young master!"
"Okay, Master, please, General Du please!"
Passing through the corridor, Young Master Liu and the others walked directly towards the backyard, arriving at the place where Meng Hecai was being watched.
"See my lord!"
"No gift!"
"The common people see you, sir. Sir, the common people are wronged. The common people really don't know what kind of mold this stone tool is. Your Excellency knows it clearly!"
Liu Mingzhi frowned and looked at Meng Hecai and his guards who knelt in front of him with a plop.
"We'll talk about it when we get up. I'll make my own judgment on whether it has anything to do with you. You can talk about it after you get up first!"
"Grass people don't dare!"
Du Yu's face darkened, and he quickly pulled out his sword: "Get up as soon as I tell you to. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will send you to see the King of Hell!"
"Yes, yes, grassroots, rise up, grassroots, rise up!"
Liu Mingzhi sat on the chair brought by the guards and looked at Meng Hecai calmly: "Where did you hide the Eight Ox Crossbow?"
"Eight-Niu Crossbow? The grass-roots people have really never seen the Eight-Niu Crossbow. Otherwise, the grass-roots people would not dare to take this business even if they borrowed ten thousand courage from the grass-roots people!"
"Did Chang Yunshu give you some weird things when he gave you the stone tools? Winch, bow string, crossbow wall, hammer, and crossbow arrows!"
"No, I can swear to God that apart from stone tools and banknotes, I didn't receive anything from Boss Chang!"
"Really?"
"Reporting to your lord, Cao Min is willing to guarantee his life, absolutely not. The guards recruited by Cao Min can testify that Cao Min and Boss Chang never met alone!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the guards. Sensing Young Master Liu's majestic gaze, the guards nodded in unison: "Young men can testify to the shopkeeper that I really didn't see anything else!"
"Qin Guang!"
"grown ups!"
"Have the household registration certificates of these guards been checked?"
"Reporting to your lord, we have checked and there is indeed no problem. They are all good people!"
Du Yu saw Young Master Liu's frown and quietly came over: "Sir, could it be that this soldier named Chang has divided his troops into two groups? There is also a caravan!"
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly: "This possibility cannot be ruled out!"
"Boss Meng!"
"The grass people are here!"
"After you met Chang Yunshu, did he make any strange requests?"
Meng Hecai pondered for a moment and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, Boss Chang insisted on exchanging three ox carts with Cao Min. Cao Min didn't want to offend the big customer, so he had to replace the ox cart for him!"
"Change the ox carts? Which ones?"
"Even the three ox carts at the end were all replaced by Boss Chang!"
Liu Mingzhi stood up and walked towards the bullock cart. Du Yu hurriedly waved: "Brothers, unload the goods!"
After a while, the last three bullock carts were cleared out. Du Yu leaned around and started banging around the three bullock carts. After a moment, Du Yu shook his head in despair.
"Sir, it's just an ordinary bullock cart, with no hidden compartments or any hollowed out places!"
Liu Mingzhi didn't say anything after hearing this. He bent down and stared at the oxcart to observe it carefully. After watching it for a long time, he still didn't see the reason.
Liu Mingzhi does not believe in evil, and there must be a reason for everything to go wrong. Chang Yunshu cannot change the oxcart with Meng Hecai for no reason.
Liu Mingzhi didn't mind the dust on the ground, so he bent down and got into the bottom of the bullock cart to fumble around.
Caressing every part of the oxcart, Liu Mingzhi was startled, with a little joy on his face.
"Du Yu, let the brothers turn the oxcart over!"
"yes!"
After the oxcart turned over, Liu Mingzhi raised his hand and shook the wheel with a thoughtful look!
"Give me the knife!"
"yes!"
Liu Mingzhi took the horizontal knife and fiddled with it on the wheel. After a moment, Liu Mingzhi showed a look of realization.
"Wizard, wizard, the winch is rejoined and spliced into the wheel. It is simply a fantasy. Without careful inspection, who would have thought that the wheel would be the winch of the Eight Bull Crossbow!"
"Du Yu, remove the wishbone from the frame, be careful!"
"Yes, brothers took action and dismantled all three cars!"
"Got the order!"
After a few sticks of incense, everyone looked at the three perfect eight-oxen crossbows in front of them in amazement, with disbelief still in their eyes.
Liu Mingzhi patted the dust on his hands and looked at the assembled Eight-Niu Crossbow in amazement: "Awesome, this Chang Yunshu is definitely a rare talent. Who would have thought that a Eight-Niu Crossbow would turn into an ordinary one?" A smooth bullock cart!"
"The winch becomes a wheel, the crossbow arm becomes embedded in the wall of the vehicle, the crossbow frame becomes the vehicle frame, the crossbow arrow becomes the handle, the bowstring becomes a lasso, and the hammer snaps!"
"A whole Eight-Niu Crossbow with a little bit of wood turned into an inconspicuous ox-cart. If it weren't for the Governor's habit of patting his shoulder, the Eight-Niu Crossbow and its mold would have been unknowingly shipped out of Yingzhou City, the governor is now starting to be a little curious about this so-called Chang Yunshu!"
"How is this person's brain so long, and he almost hid it from everyone by using the principle of darkness under the lamp? Talent, talent!"
Du Yu patted the Banniu Crossbow and couldn't restrain his admiration: "If it weren't for your sharp eyes, sir, the Banniu Crossbow would have flowed out under our noses. This Chang Yunshu must be a rare and skillful craftsman."
Liu Mingzhimi stared at the Eight Ox Crossbow in front of him.
"Draw a picture of the shadow and figure, and send the governor's order to go to sea to capture documents!"
"Got the order!"
