Chapter 65: Young Master Xie's grace of not killing
Back in the house, Zhao Hao was not sleepy.
The previous year, Yingtianfu, Suzhou, and Changzhou were stolen one after another, and he felt something abnormal.
But Zhao Hao didn't want to make extraneous branches before the spring, so he didn't care about himself and hung high.
But he didn't look for trouble, things came to him, and today it was finally his turn to have his house burglarized.
However, the more times like this, the more we must be loose on the outside and tight on the inside, otherwise the nervous mood will be contagious and cause everyone's uneasiness.
This is a big taboo for parents who now have four candidates to take care of.
So instead of interrogating the thief himself, he beckoned the people back to the house.
Then he deliberately diverted everyone's attention and asked Zhao Shizhen with a smile: "Where did you get the crossbow?" ”
"I made it myself according to what the book said, ......" As soon as he mentioned making weapons, Zhao Shizhen came to the occasion and presented the crossbow to his uncle as if he were offering treasures:
"I was going to make a copy of the Zhuge Repeater, but I couldn't figure out how to do it at the same time without losing power. Or you can automatically burst without rewinding, and you can only settle for the next best thing......"
Zhao Hao took the heavy crossbow and looked carefully under the lamp, and saw that it was made of pine wood, and the crossbow arm had an arrow box containing ten arrows, and a lever was installed on the arrow box.
He followed Zhao Shizhen's instructions and pulled down the lever with force, and the crossbow was wound, and a crossbow arrow fell into the arrow groove.
Zhao Hao pulled the trigger towards the wall, and with a bang, a crossbow arrow with a length of a foot flew out, and the entire arrow cluster disappeared into the wall.
"Wow......" A room of scholars gasped, this thing looked like a toy, I didn't expect it to be so powerful.
But Zhao Shizhen was still there and said with a regretful face: "This range is too close, I have improved it for a long time, and it has only increased from twenty to forty steps." Otherwise, just now, one arrow could have nailed that man to the wall......"
The scholars looked at each other, and finally realized the feeling of Zhao Hao's scalp tingling.
Zhao Hao also rolled his eyes, and said in his heart, after four hundred years, you are enough to sentence, do you know?
Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty only forbade civilians to have armor and firearms, and ordinary people could hold cold weapons such as bows and crossbows.
"This one is confiscated." He handed the crossbow to Gao Wu, and said to Zhao Shizhen, "Take out the rest as well." ”
"It's gone." Zhao Shizhen shrunk his neck.
"Nonsense." Zhao Hao is not easy to fool, this kid has said that he has been improving for a long time, how can it be a version?
"There is ......" Zhao Shizhen had to change his words obediently.
~~
After a while, everyone came to the north room of the east wing where Zhao Shizhen lived.
Then Gao Wu helped him, dragging the heavy wooden box from under the bed.
Because he had just moved from the East Courtyard, Zhao Shizhen hadn't had time to put out the things inside.
When the box was opened, everyone was dumbfounded......
Gao Wu found a total of two bows, four crossbows, and a three-eyed firebolt, as well as a number of long and short arrows, gunpowder, lead shots, brackets, bowstrings, etc., as well as more than a dozen books on weapon making, and dozens of notes he made......
A whole bed was set up.
'I can't mess with it, I can't afford to mess with it. The corners of Zhao Hao's mouth twitched, and his gaze at Zhao Shizhen changed.
It seems that 'go to Japan and capture Oda City alive' may not be just a slogan in the future.
Zhao Hao's three apprentices obviously thought of this section, and they all unconsciously cast a flattering look at Zhao Shizhen.
They usually bully this kid, and they are even more sneering when he does something wrong......
Thinking about the great disrespect before, now Sanyang just wants to thank the young master for his grace of not killing.
~~
Zhao Hao asked Gao Wu to keep these weapons on his behalf, and Zhao Shizhen wanted to play, but he had to do it under the guardianship of Brother Gao.
Well, it's not easy for Big Brother Gao to become the guardian of another child.
Zhao Hao couldn't help but think of the way he looked when he had a twitch on his head......
Speaking of children, Zhao Hao looked at Zhao Shixi, who was huddled out of the crowd with an uneasy face.
"The thief he found?"
Gao Wu nodded, and said in a muffled voice for a while: "This guy went to the kitchen to steal food, and saw movement in the warehouse." ”
"Do you think I should punish you or reward you?" Zhao Hao looked at Zhao Shixi with a smile.
"Merits and demerits offset each other, merits and demerits offset each other......" Zhao Shixi was busy laughing and nodding.
"That's not good, merit is merit, fault is fault, and there is no confusion." Zhao Hao pulled his face and asked Gao Wudao: "How to punish those who steal food at night?" ”
"Twenty lashes." Gao Wu blurted out.
"Then how should you reward the thief if he finds it?" Zhao Hao asked again.
Gao Wu shook his head, and replied after a while: "This is a duty, and it is not rewarded." ”
"Really? There is no reward. Zhao Hao looked at Zhao Shixi regretfully and said, "Then put a big red flower on him and whip him twenty times......
Zhao Shixi's eyes were dark again, and he almost fainted.
Who knows, but Zhao Hao said lightly: "From tomorrow night, he will move in and sleep with Shizhen." ”
When Zhao Shixi heard this, the world in his eyes regained color......
He immediately felt that the whipping was no longer terrible. couldn't help but burst into tears, snorted and choked up: "Thank you, uncle, I will continue to work hard......"
Zhao Shouzheng, who had not spoken, sighed secretly, and said in his heart This stupid boy, you just haven't made meritorious contributions, and your uncle will let you move over.
Before Zhao Jin left, in order to reassure his brother, Zhao Hao told him that when Zhao Shixi was honest, he would arrange for him to live with Shizhen.
How to say that he is also the son of the governor, and teaching him is not a violation of him.
In case he is added to the man in Caijia Lane one day, how can he explain it to his old brother?
~~
At this time, the man who guarded the door quickly came in to report that the soldiers patrolling outside heard the movement and asked what was going on inside.
Everyone looked at Zhao Hao, and Zhao Hao said indifferently: "You just said that a thief came in to steal something, and we caught it." It will be sent to the county government at dawn tomorrow. ”
In the middle of the night, the situation outside was not good, and he didn't dare to let outsiders in.
Zhao Hao, who was severely poisoned by third-rate costumes, said in a worried heart: 'What if I am a killer dressed as a soldier?' ’
The man turned around and went to the front yard to reply, and when the soldiers outside the door heard it, they were happy to be less troubled......
Of course, if Zhao Zhongcheng is still there, they will definitely take the initiative to take the initiative and hand over the person to them.
It's just that Zhao Hao won't let people go.
Back in the hall, Zhao Shouzheng asked Zhao Hao with some worry, is it really a thief?
Zhao Hao was just about to answer, when he saw that Cai Ming came back from the interrogation, he gave him a look.
"Yu Gongzi, just an ordinary thief, wants to steal something while Zhongcheng and his wife are not at home." Cai Ming had already heard Zhao Shouzheng's question, and when he saw Zhao Hao's eyes, he immediately understood what to say.
"Hey, I didn't expect that the security of this imperial city would be so poor." Zhao Hao pursed his lips and said to his father and disciple with a relaxed face: "It's not the first time, it's okay, let's go to sleep." ”
And they went back to their rooms.
Zhao Hao quietly left the main courtyard and entered the back courtyard with bright torches.
At this time, Cai Mingcai whispered the truth and said: "Childe, I ran into a hard stubble, and I knocked him out a few times, but I just didn't say anything." ”
"Dead?" Zhao Haoxin said that it was okay, he didn't bite through the poison sac like martial arts.
"Very likely." Cai Ming was born as a scout, and he is much more shrewd than ordinary men in Caijia Lane. "Anyway, it's definitely not an ordinary thief."
"Did you find something?" While speaking, Zhao Hao walked to the door of the warehouse.
The warehouse was as bright as day, and Fang Wen was rummaging through the boxes and cabinets to search carefully. This kind of work that requires careful care is more appropriate for him to do.
Here, it is mainly the belongings brought into Beijing by the men of Caijiaxiang, but they are just some clothes and daily utensils, nothing valuable, so Gao Wu did not arrange anyone to be on special duty.
Who would have thought that someone would steal it here?
This made Brother Gao feel very frustrated, so he handed over the interrogation to someone else, silently reflected and summarized, and prepared to have a deep review with his son......
Just when he finally organized his wording and was about to start self-criticism, he heard Fang Wen sigh.
"Huh? Whose stuff is this? ”
