The third workshop of Shudu is located in the southeast of Dujiangyan ten miles, adjacent to the Shu River, it is said that this is the place where Pu Yuan cast the knife for the first emperor Liu Bei, next to the Shu River, but also for the convenience of taking water, the water of the Shu River is refreshing and strong, and it is necessary for quenching.

A few miles away from the workshop, it was designated as a military restricted area, with high moats and deep trenches, and was heavily guarded.

Liu Yin and Zhang Le entered the workshop with almost no resistance, this is the transcendent privilege that the Lieutenant's Mansion has, according to the regulations, when the Lieutenant's Mansion is on an errand, any department and official office must cooperate with each other, not to mention that this case involves the emperor's assassination, naturally everyone is in danger, everyone wants to try their best to clear up their relationship with this case, once it is proven to be involved in this case, it is the crime of exterminating the three clans.

The head of the workshop, surnamed Yu, heard that Lieutenant Youcheng had personally come to investigate the case, and immediately tremblingly put up all the account books and answered Liu Yin's inquiries one by one.

The third workshop is only responsible for casting knives, not producing other weapons, and there is a quota for production every month, about 500 pieces per month, from the purchase of pig iron billets to the finished products, there are strict management, layers of checks.

"Lord Youcheng, it's not a small boast, since the third workshop has been in charge since childhood, there has not been any leakage, let alone a knife, it is a piece of iron billet, there is no mistake. Each of the knives cast in the Third Workshop has its provenance and whereabouts indicated. ”

After coming in, Liu Yin did pay attention to the situation here, the workshop and the external escort army are managed separately and are not subordinate to each other, that is to say, the workshop owner is only responsible for the management of the workshop, and the peripheral guard is the army to send people to garrison, even if the workshop owner is secretly greedy for some weapons, it is impossible to take them out.

Liu Yin took a knife, handed it to the director, and said, "Trouble the director, this knife is from our workshop?" ”

Director Yu held the knife in both hands, looked at it for a moment and said: "Yes, this knife is cast by this workshop, probably produced in Layue last year." ”

Liu Yin was slightly surprised, he deduced from the newness of this knife that it was a new knife, and Yu directly said that this knife was produced two months ago, and it seems that an expert is an expert.

"Is it really true that this knife was forged two months ago?"

Yu said firmly: "How dare the little ones talk nonsense." Don't hide it from adults, the knife produced by our workshop, the small one only needs to look at a few glances, you can know what year and month it came from, and the error will never exceed one month. ”

Zhang Le smiled, as if he didn't believe it, pulled out his saber, and said, "Is there really such a god?" Then let's see, what year did I forge this sword? ”

Director Yu glanced at it and said: "This knife of the Lord was cast in June of the third year of Jingyao, and this batch of knives was customized by the Inner Palace, although the appearance looks no different from ordinary knives, but in fact, it is forged by adding two percent of the dark iron to the ordinary pig iron billet, so it is much sharper than the ordinary seventy-two refining knives." ”

Zhang Le laughed and said: "You really have two brushes, yes, this knife was given by the queen mother when I entered the palace the year before last." When it comes to the origin of this knife, Zhang Le is quite complacent.

Liu Yin didn't care about his imperial knife, and said to the principal: "Since this is the case, then can the principal know where this knife has gone after it has left the workshop?" ”

Yu in charge quickly opened a volume of account book, although the Three Kingdoms time bamboo slips are no longer the first choice for bookkeeping, but it seems that there was no invention of the line bound book in that era, even if it is used to keep accounts, it is also a very long kind, after the memory is rolled up, and the function of bamboo slips is similar, but it is much lighter than bamboo briefs.

"Here, all the knives produced in Layue last year were filled into the arsenal of the Yulin Army, because these knives were specially issued to the Yulin Army."

"The Yulin Army Arsenal?" Liu Yin had a black line, and his heart was shocked, the Yulin Army was the emperor's personal guard, and they could get weapons from the Yulin Army's arsenal, it seemed that the energy of these assassins was beyond imagination.

When he said goodbye and left, Liu Yin thanked the principal and flattered the principal Yu. You must know that the head of the workshop can only be regarded as the lowest-level official, not even two hundred stones, compared with the lieutenant Youcheng, it is simply one in the sky and one in the ground, to get such courtesy from Liu Yin, Yu Zhu feels like a dream, until Liu Yin and Zhang Le left, Yu Zhu stayed in place in a daze.

Liu Yin and Zhang Le left the third workshop and quickly led the people to the arsenal of the Yulin Army.

The arsenal of the Yulin Army is not in the palace, but is located in the southwest corner of Chengdu City, close to the city wall, this area is relatively secluded, and the Yulin Army is heavily guarded, and there are few pedestrians.

"Stop! What for? The arsenal is heavy, and idlers are not allowed to enter! One step further, shoot and kill! "The emperor's forbidden army is really domineering, and even the few Yulin guards guarding the warehouse are so arrogant.

Zhang Le sneered, raised the waist card in his hand, and shouted: "The lieutenant's mansion sends officials to handle the case, and quickly pass on your arsenal order to come out and meet you." ”

Those few Yu Lin Wei were immediately stunned, they had lived in the imperial city for a long time, so they naturally understood how powerful the Lieutenant's Mansion was, how they dared to resist, and hurriedly reported the arsenal order.

The surname of the Yulin Army Arsenal is Xing, and he is sitting there leisurely drinking tea at the moment, in the Yulin Army, he is probably the most idle in this position, and he does not need to stand guard and patrol every day, just guard a bunch of weapons and equipment.

There are a wide variety of weapons and equipment stored in the arsenal, from swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, bows, crossbows, arrows, hidden weapons, and sleeve arrows.

But it doesn't matter, who cares about that? There are so many things in the arsenal that even if a few weapons are lost, will anyone still come to check them?

"My lord, someone from the Lieutenant's Mansion said he wanted to investigate the case?" Yu Linwei came in to report.

Xing Kuling was shocked, the people from the Lieutenant's Mansion were going to come here to investigate the case? Is there any mistake? There was nothing but some cold weapons here, what the hell were they looking for?

With full of doubts, Xing Kuling got up and came to the door, Zhang Le had already dismounted and stood at the front, Xing Kuling didn't know Zhang Le, so he naturally stared at Zhang Le's waist, which was also the fastest way to distinguish the rank of officials.

Copper seal black ribbon!

It seems that this person is of the same rank as himself, Xing Kuling has a detached smile on the corner of his mouth, with the same rank, Yulin Jun seems to be a head higher than ordinary officials, this is the advantage of being a guard for the emperor.

However, before his smile could be revealed, he froze there, because he saw the person behind Zhang Le, who was a silver seal and green ribbon!
