Since the internal troubles were solved, Ying Zheng recalled the young master Gao He to Lu, and the intelligence department fell on Xiao Zhuang and Zhang Hanlin, with Xiao Zhuang as the chief and Zhang Hanlin as deputy.
At this moment, Xiao Zhuang rushed over panting, which showed that the matter was urgent.
Li Zhao couldn't calm down after hearing this. He grabbed Xiao Zhuang's chest and held on to his clothes, and asked urgently: "When did it happen?"
Heishui decided whether the refinery could be successfully opened. If the first batch of crude oil could not be obtained, it would have a great impact on Shanglinyuan's confidence. Even if the emperor promised to provide Heishui, he would not be able to recover the losses.
The first batch of crude oil is a test and the key to starting a new era. If it is missed, it will definitely cause a butterfly effect. At that time, it will be very difficult for Shanglinyuan to produce uninterrupted mass production.
"An hour ago."
"Can you find out who did it?"
Xiao Zhuang shook his head.
Li Zhao frowned.
Before he left, he repeatedly told Wu Quan to send more people to escort the Blackwater transportation. He even asked Magistrate Pei to assist in the escort, but in the end something happened. This shows how powerful the oil thieves are and the number of oil thieves will definitely not be small. .
The oil was stolen but no one could find out who did it, which shows how sophisticated their plan was.
This is organized banditry.
"How many people did they dispatch?"
This is the key to the problem. Although there are many thieves in Peixian County, those who can reach a certain scale are well-known in the local area, just like the thieves in Linxian County and Wanshan.
Maybe you can glean something from the number of people.
But Xiao Zhuang's answer surprised Li Zhao.
"Only a few dozen people."
"What?" Li Zhao retreated subconsciously, eyes full of disbelief.
Dozens of people intercepted the crude oil that was escorted by the Shanglinyuan Guards and County Guards. This was a bit unreasonable, no, it was completely illogical. The thieves in Daqin were not that strong.
There must be something fishy here.
Xiao Zhuang knew that the young master didn't believe it, so he quickly explained: "Because they have a big killer weapon, a big killer weapon like the young master."
"A big killer?" Li Zhao's expression changed, especially when he was glared at by the emperor's sharp eyes, he suddenly felt a chill on his back.
"You are stealing by guarding!" the emperor said casually.
The emperor meant that this was done by the people of Shanglinyuan. As for the two thousand elites, he excluded them because the access of the two thousand elites was restricted, and the large-scale weapons in their hands were also supervised by dedicated personnel. This also prevented the leakage of the large-scale weapons. .
In other words, they are undoubtedly elite.
Li Zhao couldn't figure out who did it no matter how hard he tried. Since the emperor issued the ban, Shanglinyuan has no longer produced mass murder weapons. If there are craftsmen secretly producing them, it is absolutely impossible.
Only the precision instruments at the base can produce large-scale weapons. If you leave there, not to mention machine guns, you can't even make grenades.
As for whether it was manufactured in the base, it is impossible, because Ah Chao monitors the base very strictly, and there is absolutely no chance of anyone committing any crime.
Then the question comes, who has the ability to get the big killer weapon.
The next moment, his body trembled suddenly, and a strong sense of crisis rushed into his heart.
Xiang Gong.
Gong Xiang originally ordered people to steal the blueprints from the base. Now it seems that he must have broken through the art of mass murder and created a mass murder weapon.
This is a scary thought, and more likely a reality.
In fact, it is not difficult to figure out that Duke Xiang wants to use black water to burn Baihua Valley, and the black water in the village has been captured by Wu Quan. They naturally have to find a way to get it, and intercepting it halfway is the best way.
In fact, this makes sense. When dozens of people face the escorts and county soldiers, only a large-scale murderer can do it.
If this is the case, the problem will be serious. Xiang Gong, who has a powerful weapon, is almost unstoppable, unless two thousand elites come out, or Ah Chao has completed a technological breakthrough and built a multiple rocket launcher or a tank .
"How much black water is there?"
"Hundred stones."
One hundred stones is twelve thousand kilograms, and six thousand kilograms is six tons. For Shanglinyuan at this moment, six tons is already a lot.
This is a great loss.
But compared to the previous life, it is not a lot. Even if it is not much, if it is used to burn down the Baihua Valley, it will be enough.
"Your Majesty, the matter is urgent. Zhao must rush to Peixian County as soon as possible and then to Baihua Valley to stop Xiang Gong's behavior."
"Go!" Ying Zheng also knew that the matter was serious and nodded.
"But Zhao must take away two hundred elites."
"Can!"
Since the opponent has a powerful weapon, only the elite can deal with them.
Li Zhao resigned and did not have time to go to the Xinkai Market to take a look. He also had no way of asking whether Ah Chao had completed the manufacturing of multiple rocket launchers and tanks, so he bought various equipment and secrets needed for oil refining from the department store. Then he hurriedly found Mr. Shen and asked him to open an oil refining workshop.
The next day, when he was about to lead two hundred elites to set off, Ah Chao came to the door looking very excited.
"Master, good news! It's successful, it's successful." (End of Chapter)
