At first, the new weapon developed by Weiwei Temple was stolen, and it was only circulated secretly.
After all, the weapons developed by Weiwei Temple are state secrets, and no one dares to pry into them.
To many officials, this was nonsense.
The Weiwei Temple Arsenal is so tightly guarded and the new weapons are so important, how could they be stolen?
However, as the rumors became more and more popular, and even spread to people with noses and eyes, the court officials began to think that this might be true.
But what finally broke the news and made the matter go to heaven was the complaint from the Chief of the Arsenal Department, Qi Wenyan.
Qi Wenyan was only from the sixth rank and was not qualified to go to the morning court, but he went to Yushitai.
Zhang Yansu, the imperial censor, was known for his uprightness. After hearing Qi Wenyan's complaint, he naturally wanted to find out what happened.
Even without Qi Wenyan's complaint, rumors about Weiwei Temple were rampant, and Zhang Yansu originally planned to verify it.
According to Qi Wenyan's report, Weiwei Temple's newly developed continuous crossbow arrows were missing, and Zhengqing Wu Yong and Shaoqing Lu Guiyin deliberately concealed the matter in order to evade responsibility, and begged the Yushitai to conduct a thorough investigation, and so on.
Qi Wenyan complained to the court, and in accordance with the regulations of the country, he would rather receive thirty sticks. Before he passed out, he kept begging Zhang Yansu to investigate the matter thoroughly and retrieve the crossbow arrows.
The theft of Weiwei Temple was of great importance, so Zhang Yansu did not dare to delay and directly reported the matter to the emperor.
Emperor Yongning was very angry and immediately summoned Wu Yong and Lu Guiyin into the palace to inquire about the details of the matter.
"My dear, I heard that the crossbow arrows were stolen. Is this the case?"
Emperor Yongning's expression was considered gentle. Only people like Xue Gong who often accompanied the emperor could feel the hidden anger.
The emperor was so happy about Weiwei Temple's new weapons before, but now he was so angry inside.
Even the arsenal of Weiwei Temple can be stolen, so...where can the country be safe?
This is simply impossible to think about!
What’s even more ridiculous is that officials from the Arsenal Department reported this matter to themselves, which shows... how bad the situation in Weiwei Temple is now!
Wu Yong and Lu Guiyin immediately knelt down and reported loudly: "Your Majesty, please calm down! I and others are...unjustly accused! There is something else going on in this matter. Please listen to me and others and explain it carefully!"
Emperor Yongning narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "In that case, let's explain it carefully!"
No official would take the initiative to plead guilty to something like this, but... it concerns Weiwei Temple and must not be dismissed hastily.
What's more, Wu Yong is an extremely cautious person, how could he make such a big mistake?
He also wanted to hear what these two officials would say!
Wu Yong and Lu Guiyin both lowered their heads, did not make any more movements, and did not exchange any glances.
They have rehearsed in secret countless times, and now they all know exactly how to deal with it.
"Your Majesty, please calm down! This matter was done deliberately by the ministers! The purpose is to attract black sheep like Qi Wenyan!" Wu Yong said.
He looked upright and his words were subconsciously convincing.
Wu Yong continued: "Back to the emperor, I dare not hide anything. The crossbow arrows in Weiwei Temple were indeed stolen, but this theft... was deliberately stolen by me!"
The more he spoke, the more confused Emperor Yongning became.
What does it mean to intentionally let someone steal it?
"Your Majesty, ever since the continuous crossbow arrows were developed, I have been worried about whether someone would secretly spy on Weiwei Temple's new weapon. Therefore, I took advantage of the situation and deliberately used the continuous crossbow arrows to set up a trap, just to uncover the hidden secrets of Weiwei Temple. The fine work in Wei Temple."
Having said this, he closed his eyes with an extremely distressed expression on his face: "I didn't expect that this detailed engineer would be Qi Wenyan of the Arsenal Department! Qi Wenyan is in charge of the Arsenal Department, how could he be so What to do?"
"The crossbow arrows were missing from the arsenal, but Qi Wenyan went to the Yushitai to complain! I... I really don't know what his intentions are."
Wu Yong and Lu Guiling confirmed that it was Qi Wenyan who broke the news. _o_m
When they were looking for Liannu Arrow and investigating the officials of Weiwei Temple, they felt that the most unlikely person was Qi Wenyan of the Arsenal Department.
Because the continuous crossbow arrows are hidden in the arsenal, because they are in the arsenal.
Qi Wenyan was originally to blame for the loss, and once it was discovered, he would be charged.
Unexpectedly, Qi Wenyan himself went to the Yushitai to complain.
Obviously, Qi Wenyan did not intend to live anymore.
However, even if they didn't think about it anymore, Wu Yong and Lu Guiyin still followed their previous plan and immediately kept an eye on Qi Wenyan.
They had known for a long time that the knife hanging in Weiwei Temple would fall, but they didn't know who was holding the knife. The only thing that was certain was that no matter who was holding the knife, they would block it. go back.
If Qi Wenyan acted like this, the breakthrough in this matter would be with Qi Wenyan.
Wu Yong quickly went through the previous plan in his mind to ensure that there were no problems, and continued: "Your Majesty, I am indeed guilty. I have noticed something abnormal in Weiwei Temple before, but I have no evidence. In order to avoid The loss was even greater, so I used the crossbow arrows as a test... Sure enough, the crossbow arrows were stolen, including the most important drawings, and they were also missing."
The more Emperor Yongning listened, the more confused he became. Did Wu Yong mean that the crossbow arrow was stolen on purpose?
Nonsense! How could a repeating crossbow arrow be deliberately stolen if it was so important?
"Wu Yong, do you know what you are talking about? You deliberately allowed such an important new weapon like the crossbow to be stolen. What a heinous crime is this?"
"Go back to the Emperor, I know. Please forgive me, Your Majesty. In fact, I already know where the crossbow arrows and blueprints are. I was going to capture Qi Wenyan, but Qi Wenyan took the lead and went to the Yushitai to file a complaint. ”
As an emperor, Emperor Yongning was used to seeing wind and rain, but he was confused by Wu Yong at this moment.
Was the repeating crossbow arrow lost or not?
"Where are the crossbow arrows hidden?!"
"Back to the emperor, if my judgment is correct, the stolen crossbow arrows are hidden in the Wuge's vault!"
Wuge Cangku, why is Wuge Cangku involved in this matter?
"Your Majesty, this matter is indeed true. I believe that if Qi Wenyan wakes up, he will definitely accuse the witnesses and others of colluding with the gentlemen of Wuge, and will also find repeating crossbow arrows and drawings in Wuge's library as evidence. Your Majesty, Now you just need to go to the Wuge Treasury to search and you will know!"
The crossbow arrows and blueprints are hidden in the Wuge treasury, owned by Princess Changding. ..
Although Wu Yong and Lu Guiyin didn't know why Wuge Cangku was involved, they believed what Princess Changding said. @·No mistake first release~~
After all, they already have beds and crossbows. Even if Princess Changding says that the toilet has a scent, they will still believe it with a smile! .
