There is no doubt that this is a flintlock pistol.

To be precise, this is a ramming flintlock pistol born on the basis of a revolver musket.

The so-called revolver was invented by the German watchmaker Johann Kiefers, and it was the world's first firearm that could be fired without lighting an arquebus.

It replaces the arquebus clip on the arquebus pistol with a clock-wound steel wheel. Pull the hammer and tighten the clockwork; Pull the trigger, the clockwork drives the runner to rotate at high speed, rubs the flint on the fire door to ignite the spark, ignites the gunpowder, and bang, fires the bullet!

The mechanism of such a gun is complex, expensive and difficult to repair. Soon after it came out, it was improved by the Spaniards, and this kind of ramming flintlock pistol in Zhao Hao's hand was used.

It did away with the snail-shaped clockwork wheels on the retainer musket, clamped a flint to the jaws of the hammer, and installed a small anvil on the side of the fire hole.

When the trigger is pulled when shooting, the flint hits the anvil by the fire door heavily under the action of the reed, and sparks emerge, igniting the gunpowder, and bang, firing bullets!

This ramming flintlock pistol greatly simplifies the firing process, improves the rate of fire and accuracy of shooting, and is easy to use. Moreover, compared with the revolver musket, the cost is greatly reduced, which is conducive to mass production.

In Zhao Hao's memory, at this time, the Frenchman Mahan should have also invented another flintlock pistol. Compared with the Spanish bolt, the French bolt has a more reliable and perfect firing mechanism and a safety mechanism, which is the best performance gun of this era.

However, correspondingly, the structure of the French bolt is more complex, requiring more fine machining, more screws, and complex and fine grooves on the iron stopper, which has too high requirements for the level of craftsmen and manufacturing technology. So much so that the Spaniards switched back to the simple, lower-cost Spanish flintlock pistol after a short period of replacement of the French bolt in just one year.

At present, the manufacturing level of the Ming Weapons Bureau is far inferior to that of the Spaniards, and it is self-evident what to choose under the premise that there is no essential difference between the two bolts.

Zhao Hao handed the musket to Gao Wu and said in a deep voice: "Don't forget to remind me, go back and get it to Shizhen." ”

Brother Gao nodded heavily, he never expected that Childe's memory was worse than his own.

Kunshan County Reserve Warehouse.

Lin Xunpress, accompanied by Yuan Fang and Xing Si, carefully surveyed the burned Jiazi warehouse.

The results completely verified the statements of Xu Yang and others, and the suspicions of this fire are too big.

He stood in the blackened warehouse with his hands behind his back, looked up at the blackened roof, and asked faintly:

"Sixteen thousand stone of grain was burned to ashes, and the whole storehouse was blackened? Even the roof? ”

"Back to the hospital, the county preparation warehouse is a fireproof granary supervised by the Ministry of Industry, the wall of the first word warehouse is more than three zhang high, and the roof has also been fireproofed. If the grain is burned out, the storehouse will not be lit. Xing Siyan stubbornly explained: "In this way, even if you accidentally catch fire, you can only burn down one warehouse, and it will not affect other warehouses." ”

"Hmph, what about the charcoal ash from so much grain? And what about the rest of the food? Why can't there be a single grain left and burn it all out, right? Lin Xun laughed.

"When I was fighting the fire, I cleared it all along the way, and the rest of the grain was sent to the embankment to be eaten." Xing Si spread his hands and said in his heart, what kind of nonsense is this? But he could only do as Xu Wei ordered.

"Hahaha, what a check without proof!" Lin Xun raised his head and laughed, and then asked the relatives: "Yuan Fang, what do you think?" ”

"My lord, my subordinates think that Kunshan County is suspected of destroying evidence and covering up the truth." Qin casually said in a deep voice: "It seems that what Xu Yang and others said may not be a lie. The arson case of the reserve warehouse in Kunshan County, I'm afraid there is another hidden story! ”

"Not bad." Lin Xun smiled coldly, looked at Judge Xing and said, "This file was issued by you, such an obvious suspicion, didn't you, the Torture Chamber, notice it at all?" ”

"This ......" Xing Si hurriedly explained: "The villain is just a knife catcher, of course, what is ordered from above, we will write it." ”

"Oh? So, is there someone up there who is putting pressure on you? Yuan Fang asked quietly.

"Not really." Xing hurriedly waved his hand.

"Nonsense!" Lin Xun glared at each other, pointed to the burning Jiazi warehouse, and asked sharply: "No one forced you, can you put such an obvious suspicion and just issue the closing documents?" ”

"The villain has been fighting the flood on the embankment for days, and he was only called back today to write papers, how can he care about watching the scene?" Commander Xing couldn't help but laugh and said: "Besides, the investigation site is a fast shift and an errand of the fourth master, isn't this the business of the torture room?" ”

"Hmph, shirk!" Lin Xun knew that what the other party said was the truth, but he was still domineering: "Let someone who can have the final say come to see me immediately!" ”

"My eldest man went to a neighboring county to visit Yizhi County, and he can't come back for the time being." Xing Si said in a low voice.

"Where's the county?" Lin Xun pressed his face dark.

"He Xiancheng went to the mansion to urge grain...... "Xing Si said with a smile: "It's really unfortunate." ”

"Then who is in charge of affairs in your county now?" Lin Xun suppressed his anger and said.

"It's Mr. Wu, who greeted Lord Uiin earlier." Xing Si replied in a low voice, but did not reveal Xu Wei's existence.

This is Mr. Qingteng was afraid that his fame would be too big and scare Lin Xun, so he specially told Mr. Xing.

It's not that you are holding back your bad heart and thinking about each other.

"Or, the villain will call Mr. Wu here?" Commander Xing asked tentatively.

"Get out!" Lin Xun waved his hand, but he didn't know whether to simply let him get out, or let him get out and call the writer.

Anyway, it was right for Commander Xing to get out first.

As soon as he went out, Yuan Yi whispered to Lin Xun: "My lord, this is an opportunity." ”

"Hmm." Lin Xun pressed and wanted to gather his beard, hugged the air again, and touched his bare cheeks. "You mean, there's just no one in the way?"

"Yes." Yuan Fang nodded and said: "No matter how many doubts there are, there must be conclusive evidence, otherwise there will be no way to overturn the original verdict of the county." ”

After all, it was Xu Yang's gang who set the fire, and this point can't be changed. If you want to exonerate the arsonist in an arson case, how can you do it without strong evidence?

"How do you find evidence?" Lin Xun pressed a young official who has been in office for less than a year, how can he have so many regulations in his heart?

"The subordinates believe Xu Yang's statement, and there is no food in the county, so they want to borrow the fire they set to write off the 16,000 stone of grain that only exists on the books."

I only heard Yuan Fang say in a deep voice: "Then where did the sixteen thousand stones go?" Zhao Shouzheng had just taken office, and his family had a lot of money, so the possibility of embezzling these grains was very small. ”

After a pause, Yuan Fang said in a deep voice: "Then there is only one possibility, that is, Kunshan County has not bought so much grain at all!" The so-called five grain ships come every day, I'm afraid it's just a trick to fool people's hearts! ”

"Ah, you mean...... Lin Xun's eyes lit up. There isn't that much grain in those grain ships? ”

"Ten out of ten." Yuan Fang said categorically: "A little calculation will show that they have at least 1,000 stone of grain falsely reported every day. Then there will be only half of the grain on the five grain ships at most. As for what the other half is......"

As he spoke, he kicked the ground in the sand. "Does that need to be said?"

"It must be sand!" Lin Xun struck each other with both hands, and said excitedly: "This room full of sand and gravel is not what they used to extinguish the fire at all, but the bag was originally filled with sand!" ”

At that moment, Lin Xun consciously became the Duke of Da Ming, his face flushed with excitement, and he reached an intracranial orgasm!

He waved his hand violently and ordered in a loud voice: "From now on, every ship of grain brought into Kunshan will be personally inspected by this hospital!" ”
