The sixty-eighth murder case
"General, if something like this happens, you should immediately send someone to report back to the king." A person walked out behind Lei Meng, who could be regarded as a staff officer in the army according to his official position, and was responsible for planning and providing construction on weekdays, of course, only the chief general had the final say.
Lei Meng sighed, "It should be so, but I can't bear to think of the king's daily labor, old man, how long will it take to build another bottom of the ship?" ”
The old man said: "The wood used for shipbuilding is complete, and there are still lime and hemp rope left, and the construction period can be shortened by at least half." ”
"Good!" Lei Meng nodded, and walked in front of the boatmen, the tiger's eyes swept in the crowd, and the boatmen bowed their heads one after another, "You hard work in the eyes of this general, the sky is not beautiful, this general believes that this fire is just an accident, you go back first and do it immediately after resting." ”
A group of shipwrights left, shaking their heads and sighing from time to time, after all, it took dozens of days of hard work, and now a fire burned a fine light, it is a pity.
The staff officer frowned, "Why is the general so sure that this fire is not man-made?" ”
Lei Meng laughed and said: "It's just a trick, the terrain here is low-lying, the sand is wet, if it is not for human arson, it is impossible to do it, someone deliberately set fire is already an indisputable fact, if you are eager to find out the murderer, it will inevitably make everyone endanger themselves and delay the process, simply make up a reason to come out, the bottom of the boat continues to build, if you are the arsonist, what should you do?" ”
"Keep setting fires with luck."
"Yes, Lao Tzu will never eat a second time if he suffers a loss, if he dares to come again, he will definitely look good."
"The general is clever, I originally thought that the general was more than brave, but today I am completely convinced, and I am ashamed of my strategy."
Lei Meng laughed, "Yiqiē is all learned from the king, and the soldiers are treacherous, and the same is true for everything." Lei Meng and the others admired Zhao Kuo as straight as the surging river in front of them.
After eating and resting, everyone returned to the shipyard, looking at the bottom of the ship burned to ashes by the fire, they couldn't help but sigh, Tie Dan stepped forward, picked up the red charcoal, and kicked it hard, many of which were their own hard work, the first one to get up every day, and the blood blisters on their hands still stood up, but they didn't want to live up to Xiuzhu's expectations.
"Forget it, Tiedan, it's ruined, just fight it again."
"Don't let me catch that person, or I won't let him go."
"Didn't the general say it was an accident?"
Tie Dan shook his head, pointed with his hand, the corner revealed a section of firewood and grass that had not been burned out, the old man quickly stepped forward and took it in his hand, this is the thing that the village and town usually use to start the fire, it is stained with grease, once it encounters fire, it can be burned quickly, it turns out that a qiē, looking around everyone, most of them have lived in villages and towns for many years, who is the one who set the fire, and what is the purpose of the fire!
"Don't alarm others, check it out secretly."
Tie Dan nodded, picked up the tools, and looked at the afterglow, everyone here was possible, and no one could see the sinister heart wrapped in clothes.
Lei Meng stood on a high place and frowned, there were nearly dozens of shipwrights in the shipyard, everyone here was responsible for building warships, and the matter of arson must not be hasty, only if convincing evidence was found, once it was not handled properly, people's minds would change and delay the king's plan to build a naval army.
The sky is dark, the boatman cleans up and goes back to rest, just wait for the dawn to continue to work, someone has already prepared food, the day of work has already been hungry, grab the steamed bun and stuff it into the mouth, this kind of steamed bun is much better than the coarse food eaten on weekdays, I don't know how the Zhao people make zuò.
In the book, it is implied that Zhao Guo adopted the military field system, and every family had surplus grain, and Zhao Kuo ordered people to make a stone mill, and the remaining coarse grain was ground into dry food, and this process soon spread, and almost every Zhao country village and town had a grinding disc at the door.
It was nearly three watches, Tie Dan opened his eyes, his figure slowly sat up, and by the moonlight, most of the people were asleep, but there were no two figures, where could they go so late! Tie Dan was alert, didn't care about putting on shoes, and walked out briskly barefoot.
Under the moonlight, the two hid behind a big tree, and one said: "Stop, once you are discovered, you will lose your life." ”
"What are you afraid of, even if you die, you won't be a dog of the Zhao people."
"Forget it, Han is dead, and now he has food, drink and dignity, what's wrong with being a Zhao person?"
"It's different, every inch of land is stained with the blood of the clansmen, as long as you close your eyes, you can hear their cries, every qiē is a Zhao person, and there is only killing behind the false benevolence and false righteousness."
"Don't go on making mistakes, if someone else sees the consequences that day, you know it yourself."
"That stupid Zhao people still don't believe that this is an accident, and they don't want to build a warship door in our place." The man stepped forward to say something when the other man winked.
"Someone's coming."
The two of them quickly took off their pants, and a commotion sounded, and Tie Dan's footsteps were as light as possible or were heard, "What are you two doing here without sleeping in the middle of the night?" ”
The two turned around, smiling, and shook their hands, "It's Brother Tiedan, urinate urgently, come out to pee." ”
"Two people made an appointment?" Tie Dan looked at the two with a gloomy face.
"It's not like something just happened, it's inevitable that someone will misunderstand, so I called the sunspot out, after all, it's dealing with officials, and you have to be careful about everything."
Tie Dan nodded, "That's right, go back to sleep." ”
"Okay, go back to sleep."
The two of them trotted all the way, and Tie Dan looked at the backs of the two, could the fire have anything to do with them, and they must not be startled until they find evidence.
Time passed, the bottom of the ship was once again put together, the old man let out a sigh of relief, and wiped the sweat on his forehead with his hands, compared to the one that was burned by the fire, this one was of better quality, and the bottom of the ship was more finely filled.
"It's getting late, everyone will go back and rest, and tomorrow after dawn we will build the cabin." Everyone agreed, put down the tools in their hands, and walked to the residence with laughter and laughter.
Lei Meng ordered to go down, arrange a few elite guards to guard the bottom of the ship, once someone approached immediately arrested, in case of resistance to kill, the moon on the branches, the whole shipyard was quiet, an elite crouched on a high place, the whole body was covered by branches, the whole person only showed a pair of eyes, the bottom of the boat also hidden a person, once there is a sound can be quickly shot.
Thunder fierce defense can be called impervious to wind and rain, no words all night, the sky is bright, the shipwright began to build, according to Zhao Kuo's drawings drawn, close to the bottom of the ship to leave a few dark grids, the dark grid can be arranged manpower, used to enhance the flexibility of the warship with oars, the two sides of the warship are spliced upwards with thick planks, and the two sides are outward, in which the bow and crossbow can be hidden, and the two wings also play a stabilizing role.
From early morning to sunset, the rope was hoisted, everyone admired again and again, the warship in front of them was more than several times larger than the ship of King Wu back then, such a giant was the first time to see, the cabin can be placed in a hundred bows and crossbows, as for the role of the left and right vacant positions is unknown.
"Spectacular, spectacular, I have fought a ship all my life, and it is the first time I have seen such a big warship."
"It is also our credit to sail on the seas in the future." Everyone was overjoyed when they saw it, but one person was silent, and the hammer in his hand kept smashing, and a leftover plank was smashed to pieces.
The night is still late at night, and late night always makes people irritable, and the dissatisfaction and depression of weekdays slowly explode in the middle of the night, and the late night is also the origin of evil.
A figure appeared, holding something that was used to ignite quickly, and a figure rushed forward, "You still have to make a mistake, I won't let you do this, that's the hard work of the whole village." ”
"I can't care so much, I'm doing the right thing, doing what I should do for the Korean people who died unjustly."
"It was a war, no one could avoid deaths and injuries, and countless people died at the hands of the Qin people, so what could they do!"
"No, even if you risk your life, you have to risk it."
"You're crazy, completely crazy for hatred, I'll stop you."
"I know you won't, we're brothers, can you forget about hatred?"
"This is saving you, not harming you, if you go wrong, there will be no turning back, and if you take another step, I will call someone and tell others that you set the fire."
"No!"
A figure swooped up, grabbed with both arms, the man tried to break free, but the opponent's strength was amazing, the throat position was stuck, the body fell to the ground, and his legs kept and finally did not move at all.
"No, no, no one can stop revenge, death, only death." Reading it in his mouth, the strength in his hand did not diminish in the slightest.
