Chapter 605 Anger
In the small town at night, after a burst of fireworks, everything became boring after eating night food.
Since the craftsmen went out early and came back late, there was no night market at all. They suddenly celebrated the festival and no one wanted to open business. Therefore, compared with the city of the capital, this small town in the valley was already silent.
"Hurry, act quickly!" Chen Yi was wearing black clothes and walking at night. His food over the past few days made his night vision greatly increase, and he could walk at night with the moonlight.
"No!" The two looked at each other and hurriedly followed.
"Old Wu, this person is a widower, with no children, and now he is alone at home. No one has noticed him. Let's go to Yifang, No. 32 Xu Street."
"He knew how the things in the Ordnance Division moved, and he would instruct everyone to repair and replace parts, armor, and artillery from time to time. He would do it. As long as he caught him, he would definitely complete the task!"
Chen Yi and his group walked quietly, facing the wall and wearing black clothes. At this night, most people couldn't see each other. Many people were black without lights and were completely invisible.
Craftsman City is planned according to the square street with a field font, including A, B, C, D, and then serial number, and then sorting numbers. Arabic numerals are widely used.
A few people secretly flipped over and came to the yard. Open the door. The room was dark and dirty, but it was not like a abandoned temple, but never taken care of it. It was messy, as if it had not been lived in it for a long time.
The man with only one bearded man, half-exposed, was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly. He was full of wine jars, and there were only a few plates of side dishes on the table that had moved a few times, and a pair of lonely chopsticks were placed in a straight line.
Obviously, lonely people suffer on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
"Hey!" Chen Yi shook his head, looked at Lao Wu's head who was sleeping as a corpse, and said to several people: "I just fell asleep, so the three of us carried him out."
The three of them were drunk and left quickly.
Craftsmen's City does not have a wall. It is located in a valley, surrounded by all directions, with only a small entrance to enter and exit, but it has been guarded by the military camp and ordinary people are not allowed to leave.
In the early morning, the convoy of delivering vegetables came again. After loading and unloading, he returned with an empty donkey cart.
Because it is Mid-Autumn Festival, no one knows how many people are missing.
And those people gathered in the stronghold, waiting around, but there was no one. It was almost dawn, but they were secretly happy, thinking that they had given up and began to continue this comfortable life in peace.
"Old Wu, come out soon and work!" Before dawn, the neighbor who had been on vacation for a few days stretched to knock on the door and yawned.
I spent most of my life and took a vacation for the first time. This feeling was great, and the emperor gave the money.
"Come out quickly, what are you doing!" He looked at Taibaixing in the sky, and he was a little panicked. Just as he was about to exert force, the gate of the yard opened.
"What's going on?"
Walk in and open the door.
There were no people, only a few plates of side dishes, which were already rotten and had an unpleasant smell.
"Where did the person go? The food in his wife's spiritual seat was also rotten, something was wrong..."
The big man ran out instantly and went to find the director of the house.
Afterwards, a group of people carefully explored the Craftsman City and found that it was really gone.
The three craftsman apprentices who had been here for several months disappeared.
"There's a big deal!"
After Huang Dezhang obtained the news, he immediately knew what was going on. The Ordnance Department involved many secrets, especially new armor, artillery, and catapults, which were all top priority. It is not surprising that the enemy wants to obtain the secrets exactly.
"No, I have to report to Your Majesty!"
Soon, Li Jia learned the news and was stunned for a moment, then became angry: "What's wrong? I have emphasized to you many times. We must be strictly guarded. These equipment are crucial and cannot be leaked at all."
"I am guilty of death!" Huang Dezhang immediately knelt down, not daring to make any quibble.
"What's the use of death?" Li Jia shouted, and he turned left and right: "On Mid-Autumn Festival, I'm lazy like this. Where did you go to the strict precautions on weekdays?"
"I originally saw you in charge of the Arsenal Department for several years and have made a lot of contributions. I want to promote you to the Minister of the Ministry of Works. I thought you were so careless. This time you were promoted, you will be gone. Be your chief! "
Huang Dezhang was the head of the Ministry of War and the commander of the Ordnance Department. Even if he was promoted to the Minister of the Secretariat, he had to take charge of it. However, if he was promoted to the Minister of the Secretariat, he could sit in the yamen. Besides, the Secretary of the House was not impossible.
Hearing this, Huang Dezhang crawled on the ground and did not dare to say too much.
After cursing for a few words, the emperor's anger was mostly relieved. Looking at Huang Dezhang's timid appearance, he thought that this person has been working hard since he was a Jinshi and serving as a craftsman that others avoided. At the same time as him, no one was not a senior official of the prefecture, such as his friend Hu Binwang, who served as the transferee of Changsha Prefecture.
"Get up, it's over here, I can only make up for it as much as possible!" Li Jia sighed.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Huang Dezhang's face turned red and he was ashamed.
Immediately, Li Jia summoned the ministers of the Political Affairs Hall to have a conversation, and within a quarter of an hour, a consensus was reached.
For a moment, the fast rider flew to the world.
Find reliable painters, conduct large-scale modeling, and then spread to the world, spread across the prefectures and counties across the country to arrest them.
In the north, Lizhou (Tongjiangling), Yuezhou (Tongzhongyuan), is strictly sealed.
South, Daozhou, Hengzhou, etc.
All stations are also constantly screening and checking suspicious people.
Since the transfer office needs to collect taxes, the contact area is the widest range, and all small merchants and vendors have been notified.
The Sound and Imperial City Department also mobilized urgently to conduct large-scale searches and investigations, without missing a trace of clues.
The World Chamber of Commerce also issued a reward of tens of thousands of yuan.
For a moment, countries were shocked.
Chen Yi actually only knew that these weapons were of great use for war, but he didn't know that they were the key to changing the general trend of the world.
So, although it is nervous to escape, there is still a little relaxation.
"Although some craftsmen are important, they are not going to arrest me, right?" Chen Yi felt a little contemptuous of the craftsmen in his heart. Although he wanted to complete the task, he still felt that it was not that important.
Even if artillery is an artillery, a catapult is important.
"Du Tou, we are almost finished with food and water!" Wang Wu said anxiously: "That craftsman can eat, so we have less of it."
"Don't buy it. From this wilderness, go and steal some food directly, try not to alarm people!"
For a long time, caution has been Chen Yi's rule, and today is no exception.
"Here!"
"Where do we go?" Old Man Wu asked in a hurry.
"Go to a place where you can enjoy your glory and wealth!" Chen Yi said with a smile.
Chapter completed!
