Doge's Palace.

Yuan Jixian had just finished washing, and before he had time to eat, the housekeeper Yuan Fu ran in.

"Master, Li San, the general manager of Nanjing Right Town, has urgent official business, and I ask to see you!"

Yuan Jixian's heart was shocked, urgent official business? Early in the morning, the people from the right town of Nanjing ran to their place, what urgent official business should they go to their general army, right?

"Let him in!"

Yuan Jixian didn't have time to think about it, and said in a deep voice.

In a blink of an eye, Li San hurriedly rushed into Yuan Jixian's study, bowed down and said, "The last general, Li San, the general of Nanjing Right Town, will see the Inspector!" ”

Where did Yuan Jixian recognize Li San? The difference in the level of the two people is too much, and when he saw Li San recklessly breaking in, he was slightly displeased, but he didn't say anything, after all, in the world, everyone knows that the people in Nanjing Right Town are full of tiger spirit, and Qin Mufeng is the most protective calf, but he can't be provoked easily.

"Li San, what do you have to do with Bendu?"

Li San hurriedly said: "Master Inspector, something big has happened, early this morning, a few of our brothers went to the Ordnance Department to ask for the allocation of arms, and as soon as they arrived at the Ordnance Department, they found that the entire Ordnance Department was covered with blood, at least dozens of people died, and almost all the musket ammunition in the warehouse of the Ordnance Department was stolen!" ”

Burst......

Yuan Jixian just drank a sip of tea, and with one mouthful, all of it squirted out!

cough cough cough ...... cough cough cough ......

Yuan Jixian squatted directly on the ground, coughing incessantly, and his body was weak!

"Master, master!"

Yuan Fu on the side hurriedly helped the old man up.

Yuan Jixian's face turned red from coughing, and he pushed Yuan Fu away, and shouted: "Cough! Cough! Li San, what did you say? Someone ransacked the Ordnance Division? ”

Li San said urgently: "My lord, the Ordnance Division is now empty, there is not even a single bullet, all of them have been ransacked, dozens of servants, all killed!" ”

Yuan Jixian's heart pulled out the cold, it's over, it's over! Dozens of lives, this is not the most serious, the most serious is the tens of thousands of muskets and thousands of boxes of ammunition of the Ordnance Division, the expedition to the East is imminent, these arms are the lifeblood of the imperial court, not to mention the emperor, once the news spreads, even Cha Zhu and Qin Mufeng can't spare themselves, but people entrust their families to themselves!

"Someone! Someone came, immediately sent an order to Du Yue, the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, martial law in the whole city, and gave me a door-to-door search, no one was allowed to be spared, including the governor's mansion, strictly investigated the criminals and arms, the governor gave him three days, and he must dig three feet into the ground for the governor to search the city of Nanjing! ”

Yuan Fu on the side was blindfolded, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he ran out of the governor's palace directly and went down to give orders.

"Ahem......"

Li San coughed and reminded: "Master Inspector, I'm afraid this matter is not so simple, the Ordnance Department has fifty servants and many craftsmen, and ordinary bandits are not capable of bloodbathing the Ordnance Department overnight......"

Yuan Jixian was shocked, although Li San's position was low, but this was extremely correct, in one sentence, dozens of people, all killed overnight, where can ordinary bandits do this? The large and small underground forces in Nanjing City do not say that they do not have such courage, even if they have such courage, they do not have such strength......

"Li San, have you gotten the news?"

Yuan Jixian asked urgently.

Li San hurriedly replied: "My lord, our general has already ordered someone to go back to summon the news, and it is estimated that now the chief soldier has received the news." ”

Yuan Jixian gritted his teeth and shouted: "Come on, immediately pass on my hand, all the flood and drought checkpoints in Jiangnan Province will be set up to strictly investigate the gangsters, and if there are unidentified people, arrest them immediately, and if there are those who resist, there will be no forgiveness, and this gang of gangsters must be found out to Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu must let them pay for their blood debts this time!" Also, please invite the four general soldiers of the four towns of Nanjing to go together to suppress the bandits! Li San, lead the way in front and immediately go to the Ordnance Division! ”

Yuan Jixian is going crazy, such a big thing is enough for him to lose his official position and resign, it is possible to lose his head or not, this is a stab in the emperor's heart, damn the villain, don't be caught by Lao Tzu!

It's just that Yuan Jixian's follower Li San hasn't walked out of the Governor's Mansion yet, and the neighing of war horses has already sounded outside, and then the door was knocked open, and Xia Wanchun had already broken into the Governor's Mansion with a look of anger on his face.

"Master Overseer, Master Overseer!"

Xia Wanchun shouted repeatedly.

Yuan Jixian's face was bitter, he greeted him, and arched his hand: "Cungu, Bendu is here, have you got the news?" ”

Xia Wanchun's face turned pale, and he said fiercely: "Well, Master Inspector, now Inspector Cha and Inspector Qin are not in Nanjing, there is such a big thing, we are blaming it, this group of people is too bold, grandma, this is going to pit us to death!" I have already sent a letter to the other three general soldiers, the four towns of Nanjing fully cooperate with the superintendent to arrest the murderer, the troops of each department have been mobilized, and the deputy general soldiers of each town are personally deployed, we will go to the Ordnance Department first, and the rest of the general soldiers have also rushed to the Ordnance Division! ”

Yuan Jixian nodded, ordered someone to lead the war horse, and rushed to the Ordnance Division with Xia Wanchun.

Arrived at the Ordnance Division, and the rest of the three general soldiers had already arrived.

Rao is Yuan Jixian, who used to be the governor of Huguang Military Administration, was used to seeing big scenes, and when he saw the tragic situation in front of him, his heart trembled and he was angry.

In the Ordnance Division, the corpses were still lying horizontally and vertically, drenched in blood, Bi Denghan had already come here, sitting on the ground and trembling, after all, he was just a literati, where had he seen this battle.

"Xinchen, how's the situation?"

Shu Xinchen had already arrived and was inspecting the scene, Yuan Jixian asked.

Shu Xinchen's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Master Inspector, almost all of these servants were killed with one blow, their throats were wiped by a sharp blade, not a single living mouth was left, and they were definitely murderers who killed people without blinking, and there were definitely more than a few people, at least dozens of people had to act, so that the Ordnance Division could be bloodied......

Yuan Jixian kept inhaling the cold air, feeling a toothache, a habitual offender, listening to Shu Xinchen's meaning, they were all Jiangyang thieves.

"And that's not all!"

Tan Guilin on the side said in a deep voice: "Master Inspector, that's 10,000 guns, hundreds of boxes of ammunition, in a short period of time, if you want to transport so many firearms and ammunition, it is simply impossible, I have already surveyed the surroundings, the traces of this transport have been extended to the bank of the Yangtze River, it is obvious that someone is from the Yangtze River to meet this group of bandits, three or four miles away, so many things, all from the Ordnance Department to the Yangtze River, where can there be fewer people?" Definitely more than 100 people! Moreover, it has already run along the Yangtze River! ”
