When Yu Man's entourage arrived at Luojian, Shen Zhezi had already known the news of the theft of the ordnance. If the time of the messenger's journey was deducted, he learned the news even earlier than Xi Jian.

After learning of this, Shen Zhezi did not slack off, and immediately convened his cronies and subordinates to discuss. The content of the discussion is generally similar to that of Xi Jian and his subordinates, mainly about who did it, what the intention is and how it will affect the situation, and how to deal with the matter.

However, compared with Xi Jian's overwhelmed, Shen Zhezi's purpose is much clearer, that is, to insist on the goal of taking over Xuzhou. There is nothing more important at the moment, and even if there is a need to respond, it must be based on this goal.

So when Yu Manzhi arrived, he was instructed to keep the itinerary as usual, but the place of handover was changed from Xuyi to Huaiyin. In other words, Xi Jian stayed in the nest and did not move, and Shen Zhezi would go to complete the handover in person.

Hearing this order, Yu Manzhi was a little nervous, although he seemed to have no scheming on weekdays, but he was not a stupid person. Right now, in front of the Grand Governor, there are no idlers around, and there is no need to be taboo in talking, so he sighed and said: "The treasury is heavy, and it is a doubt that it can steal strong weapons quietly. If this matter is not investigated, it is really not appropriate for the Metropolitan Governor to take risks! Moreover, there is no lack of evil speculation under the assassin's mansion, and most of the governors have entered the town, but they are afraid that they will be more truthful. ”

At present, there are already some people in the Xuzhou Assassin Mansion who suspect that Huainan did this kind of thing, and if the governor of the capital goes there regardless of the danger, it will undoubtedly increase the suspicion.

When Shen Zhezi heard this, he laughed: "How dare you make an appointment with the elders, how dare you overdue, and it is still such a state affair." As for some idle people's gossip, it's just that the well frog peeks at the goshawk, which is just a laughing stock. ”

If it was in previous years, Shen Zhezi might have really wanted to do this, but now that he wants to clean up those villagers in Xuzhou, there is really no need to play this trick again.

"But the loss of the weapon is a hidden danger after all, I wonder if the governor has a good plan here?"

Yu Manzhi asked again.

"Yu Changmin, have you become more stupid after being out of the battle formation for a long time, what else is the so-called good strategy for this kind of thing? Those who fail in their duties are severely punished, and those who lose them are strictly investigated, can you still conjure up lost things out of thin air? ”

Xiao Yuandong said with a smile on the side.

Yu Manzhi's face suddenly darkened when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice: "It's because it's difficult to strictly investigate and solicit, so I feel sleepy!" It's subtle, and it's hard to describe it like you're a fool. ”

"In this matter, I agree with what Yuan Dong said, just talk about the matter, and it is urgent to check the lost property."

Hearing Yu Manzhi's words, Shen Zhezi said again, he understood Yu Manzhi's scruples, losing a heavy weapon like a thunder crossbow is an extremely sensitive matter no matter what period it is, it is best to be able to quietly track it down and solve the case quickly, once it spreads, it will be in an uproar.

But nothing can be generalized, the timing is delicate at the moment, everyone is vigilant, once they are harassed for unknown reasons, they will inevitably be even more frightened, and this matter cannot but be investigated.

Instead of making people panic and speculate, it is better to track it out clearly, at least those who have nothing to do with it can have a little peace of mind, no longer suffer from random speculation of gains and losses, and even at critical moments, they can be used as eyes and ears, so that thieves can feel the pressure of the enemy of the whole people.

"But in this way, I am only afraid of ......"

Yu Manzhi was still a little hesitant, and Xiao Yuandong on the side laughed again: "You Yu Changmin is not a wise choice, most of the governors have their own arrangements for this matter, and you don't have to worry about it." ”

Hearing Xiao Yuandong's ridicule, Yu Manzhi was a little relieved, it was also out of his long-term confidence in the Metropolitan Governor, since Xiao Yuandong said so, he was also happy to save his brainpower, and then pointed at Xiao Yuandong and scolded with a smile: "Xie Er and the others are really lacking in courage, you are really lucky that you were not killed by someone on the riverside!" ”

When friends reunite, it is inevitable to belittle each other, and if they quarrel, Yu Manzhi will be relaxed.

Since the people of Xuzhou had arrived, Shen Zhezi would no longer continue to stay in Luojian, and would wait until Yu Manzhi and others would rest for the night, and then take a boat along the Huaishui to Xuyi the next day.

Xuyi was originally a place for the handover of the two parties, and the accident in Huaiyin did not spread, so when Shen Zhezi and his entourage arrived in Xuyi, a large number of Xuzhou villagers who came to greet and watch the ceremony had already gathered here.

When that kind of thing happened in Huaiyin, the personnel of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion naturally did not dare to neglect the safety of the Metropolitan Governor, and the guards of the team docked first, and carried out martial law and search for several hours, and after confirming that there was no potential danger, Shen Zhezi's ship slowly approached the dock.

Since he was ready to go straight to Huaiyin, and the current security problem was very serious, Shen Zhezi did not plan to go ashore and have any more banquets with these Xuzhou villagers.

After the ship docked, nearly 100 leaders of Xuzhou Township were invited to the ship, and it was inevitable that there would be many harsh requirements such as searching and controlling the number of attachés in the process.

The villagers of Xuzhou waited here for a long time, but they were treated so rudely, and the bad mood can be imagined, and even a few people went away directly, and the rest were all black and frosty, but I didn't expect this Shen Metropolitan Governor to make no secret of his domineering posture from the beginning.

Shen Zhezi didn't let these people wait for a long time, and soon walked neatly into the cabin hall surrounded by the guards, and before he could speak, he first hugged his fists and bowed deeply to everyone, and then sighed: "Today's gesture is actually forced to be helpless. A few days ago, the treasury of Huaiyin City was robbed, and some traitors stole three heavy weapons and crossbows, but they have not been captured so far. I don't dare to think deeply about the evil thoughts of the traitors, because I can only be a little vigilant, and if I snub you villagers because of rudeness, I hope I can forgive you. ”

Hearing Shen Zhezi's words, an extremely harsh discussion erupted in the hall, and it can be said that everyone has changed color and cannot be stable. As for Yu Manzhi, who was following the Metropolitan Governor, his face also turned black suddenly, the theft of a heavy weapon like the Thunder Crossbow was already extremely serious, why did the Metropolitan Governor exaggerate the facts?

Shen Zhezi stretched out his arms and pressed them, and only when the discussion stopped a little before he spoke again: "The theft of the ordnance makes it difficult for people to be at ease, and I don't shy away from sparing my life, not only because of this, but also because I dare not take the king's life lightly." For the sake of the military and civilian situation in Jiangbei, he will never be involved in the danger set up by the thieves, so Xuyi will not pause, and will go straight to Huaiyin to visit Duke Xi later, and I hope you can forgive me. ”

When everyone heard this, what objections could they have, and they even wished that Shen Zhezi would leave this realm quickly, because there was so much information implied in this matter that people couldn't digest it all at once.

At this time, naturally no one ridiculed Shen Zhezi for being timid and afraid of death, as he said, if something happened to Shen Dadudu, the situation would be unimaginable. It can be said that the safety of one person is related to the safety of everyone present, and the cherishing of one's own life is the importance of the stability of Jiangbei.

So after some praise and praise, there were many loud curses in the hall, cursing the traitors who stole the ordnance. Although they were each worried about Liang Gong's imminent entry into Xuzhou, the idea of assassination was really unthinkable, and they especially hated the traitor who secretly undermined the stable situation.

There are also many people who are concerned about their own safety, ask if there has been an actual trace, and express their willingness to help with the investigation.

"The thunder crossbow is a defensive weapon, each crossbow body has a casting code marking, and later my government officials will announce the loss of three casting codes to you, and I hope you can publicize it widely, if someone can track it down, the government will have a heavy reward!"

Speaking of this, Shen Zhezi sighed again and said: "When evil happens, the person in charge cannot escape the blame. Who's going to do this for what reason, I don't want to go deeper. Today, all the sages gather here, I might as well tell you, Xi Gong has been in charge of Xu Town for a long time, hard work is high, I am young and thin, I dare not expect to replace my responsibility, but there is only one thing that can be clearly told to you, since I entered the town, Huaixia Xu Bian will no longer disturb the people, and the people can stop cultivating, if there is a violation, whether it is old or weak, women and children, they can be reprimanded and spit on each other! ”

When the crowd heard this, there was a brief silence, and then a burst of praise erupted.

Shen Zhezi hadn't finished speaking, and waited until everyone's praise paused for a moment before he continued: "It is precisely because of this benevolent thought that even if there is such a serious crime as stealing weapons, I don't want to be ruthless and innocent. Therefore, I also want to temporarily pass on the words of the kings to the countryside, and make an agreement with the hidden thieves, from this moment on, no matter who does this evil thing, if you miss the hometown and do not want to cause trouble to the public, you can secretly make a boat raft when no one is around, and float out of the water when there is no one, and I will not pursue and disturb the people. ”

When everyone heard this, there was another series of shocks, and soon after, a series of even more violent scoldings broke out, saying that such a treacherous deed must be investigated to the end, and the murderer must not be spared.

But Shen Zhezi didn't care about the surging emotions of the crowd, and continued: "From this moment on, this covenant has come into effect. I don't want to show the public with a poor posture at the beginning of the town, and I ask you to be all righteous, even if you bump into me on the way, please hide your eyes and avoid it. But if after I arrive in Huaiyin, there are still thieves who persist in their wickedness, then I will not tolerate it, and I must track it down to the end and kill this traitor for the villagers! ”

After saying this, Shen Zhezi didn't care how much turmoil it stirred up in everyone's hearts, and immediately ordered people to send off the boat with the gifts of these villagers present, and then the boat left Xuyi Wharf and went straight to Huaiyin.

On the ship, Yu Manzhi still couldn't think clearly about the deep meaning of the Metropolitan Governor's actions, and frowned: "The Thunder Car Crossbow is obviously missing one, but the Metropolitan Governor says three, even if the villagers don't know, doesn't the thief know?" Besides, there are many subordinate officials under the Assassin's Mansion who know the inside story, how much effect can such a statement be? ”

"Even if the thief knew it, how dare he proclaim it to the public? Father and son still have to hide such murderous things, how can the rest know? Even if the rumors are spread, is it more convincing than the Metropolitan Governor gathering a crowd to proclaim? As for the subordinates under your assassination mansion, it is a mistake that you can't guard the treasury, if you can't even keep your own tongue, what's the use of keeping it! ”

Xiao Yuandong laughed out loud when he heard this, and then hugged Yu Manzhi's shoulder and said: "This accident, you Xu Zhen can't escape the blame, stay until the middle of the night, accompany me to sneak downstream to place weapons, and don't be noticed." When the lost and found returns, the group can be settled. ”

"But, but after all, there is still a body lost, and the thief dares to steal it, and it may not be easy to return it......"

Yu Manzhi was still puzzled and couldn't let go.

"If you really lose your weapons, it's not a good thing."

Tian Jing, who was walking on the side, heard Yu Manzhi's doubts, and replied with compassion. (https:)
