Zhumen Hangui

Chapter 494
Kang Shiwen's eyes widened, "You mean that the military equipment has already crossed the river, but it returned?"

"No! That's not right, I didn't come back so fast!" He shook his head after speaking, feeling something was wrong.

"Look at the closed case files of the magistrate of Nachong County at that time. It is written that the weapons used to kill the bandits were longbows and knives. There are still many arrows left at the scene, including a broken blade."

At that time, the magistrate kept all the things at the scene as evidence. Although the death of the bandits was very satisfying, the people who killed them still had to be investigated.

However, the scene of the crime is a relatively remote official road, and there are no people around. If someone hadn't placed He Da's head at the gate of the county government office, those corpses would have been discovered!
Nazhi County drew a picture of the blade, which is in the dossier, and also described the shape of the blade in detail.

Kang Shiwen took a look, and found that it was just an ordinary blade, and it was only a small section at the tip, and there was nothing unusual about it.

"Take a closer look at the tip of the knife? It looks like a break here, but it's actually a blood groove." Su Yizhao pointed to that place.

When Kang Shiwen heard the words, he read it carefully again, and suddenly realized.

He immediately picked up the file and looked it over carefully, and when he saw the description of the blade, he became more sure of what he was thinking.

"This is Wolf Moon!" Kang Shiwen's expression turned serious.

"Langyue?" Su Yizhao understood, "This is the saber of the Jingwei Commander."

"Not bad!" Kang Shiwen nodded, he suddenly thought of something.

"Among those who escorted the military equipment to the border, there were two officials from the Jingwei Command and Envoy Division. One of them was Di Songlin, the governor of the Command and Envoy Division, and the other was a deputy envoy named Zheng Shounian."

"If this knife is really the wolf moon, it must belong to Di Songlin. The assistant envoy is not popular, so he is not qualified to wear the wolf moon."

"Then when the imperial court recovered the armaments, did these two come back together?" Su Yizhao asked immediately.

"I did not see Di Songlin at the time, but the people who traveled with me said that Di Songlin had suffered from an old illness, so he stayed on the way to recuperate and did not return to Beijing."

Kang Shiwen recalled it carefully, but fortunately he has a good memory, otherwise he would have lost his memory.

"That's it." Su Yizhao nodded affirmatively, "This means that Di Songlin did not escort this military supplies, but went to the border first."

Kang Shiwen became even more confused when he heard it, but Su Yizhao saw his doubts, so he gave him the file.

"You must not have read this file carefully. Would you like to read the description of the case closed in Nazhi County?"

Although He Da, who committed the crime, died, everyone was happy, but as the minister of Dali Temple, he had many other things to do, so why would he care about making plans?

Kang Shiwen immediately read the dossier carefully and found a suspicious point.

"The scene was chaotic at the time, and the wheel prints were deeply sunken and messy, which meant that it was a convoy transporting heavy objects, and it was a very long convoy."

Kang Shiwen came to a conclusion, and now he finally understood.

"Yes! This is recorded by the author who inspected the site, so the magistrate concluded that it should be a caravan passing by to eliminate harm for the people, and it is a huge caravan."

"However, he doesn't know, what kind of caravan is this? It's obviously the court's move." Su Yizhao analyzed.

Kang Shiwen immediately understood, "In other words, there are two teams of troops transporting military supplies. What the emperor chased back were normal supplies, just to deal with the sudden search."

He clapped his hands, shock flashed in his eyes.

"And there must be a problem with the armament of the first team. They took a step ahead and sent them to the border. This is a two-handed preparation. Since they will do this, they must know that the emperor will send someone to recover."

Kang Shiwen's eyes were completely different, "Therefore, Luo Zheng's death may be because he knew something. Those people wanted to kill people to silence them. My previous suspicion was correct."

"So that's it! That's it!" Kang Shiwen finally figured it out. The case has been on his mind for more than three years, and today he finally has an answer.

"I want to report to the emperor immediately. This case must be overturned and re-investigated." Kang Shiwen was very excited, turned around and was about to leave.

"Sir, wait a minute!"

Su Yizhao quickly stopped Kang Shiwen, "Sir, although the logic of our analysis is smooth, it's not enough at all. We have to find other clues to prove it."

After being reminded by Su Yizhao, Kang Shiwen finally came to his senses.

"But it's been three years, how should I investigate?"

"Do you think they will give up the benefits they have obtained? There are only two reasons for doing so. First, to make a fortune; second, to swallow up the military supplies, and what to do with them is self-evident."

Su Yizhao's analysis shocked Kang Shiwen, "If it's the second one, and the planning started in three years, how much armament would it take? Why do you need so much armament?"

Kang Shiwen looked at Su Yizhao in surprise, "Conspiracy!"

"Therefore, we must first investigate and find out the intentions of the people behind it." Su Yizhao said seriously.

"How to check?" Kang Shiwen's face was particularly serious, this is not a trivial matter.

"All armaments, like minted silver, have approval seals. If you can find the armaments with those approval seals, it means that it is for money. Especially for the batch of armaments that were recovered three years ago, the approval seals must be checked. They This batch of goods will definitely be kept in case of a rainy day.”

"When the imperial court makes a surprise inspection, it only needs to melt the approval seal and change it again. Even if the approval seal is melted, there will be traces left."

Kang Shiwen nodded again and again, "This is a good way."

"If the whereabouts of that batch of armaments cannot be found, it means that it is for the second type, and this will be troublesome."

Su Yizhao felt that the person behind this must have a high status in the court. This is collusion with the border and the officials are protecting each other.

Kang Shiwen frowned, "But where are we going to find this batch of armaments?"

"The most dangerous place is the safest place. In order to hide from the world as soon as possible, and to deal with the search by the inspector's office, it must be placed in the place closest to the Military Weapons Bureau of the Ministry of Industry. But with so many armaments, if they don't attract attention, do you think they should be placed Where is the best?"

Su Yizhao's eyes were full of brilliance, and he looked a little excited.

Kang Shiwen's heart also became excited, "You mean the Military Weapons Bureau?"

"That's right! The Military Weapons Bureau already has a lot of stockpiles in the Military Weapons Bureau. As long as it's well hidden, who will pay attention?" Su Yizhao nodded.

Kang Shiwen was so surprised that even he thought the plan was perfect.

"How did you think of it? Why did you think they had two batches of supplies?"

He was so shocked, how did this brain grow?How can you be so smart?
"The lower officials have the habit of reading the imperial court's newspapers. The case of He Da's murder three years ago was a bit of a sensation. Naturally, he will not forget it."

Su Yizhao also felt that his memory was extraordinary, "When I saw that Luo Zheng's case was implicated in the border military, I couldn't help but think of the He Da case in my mind, so I went to read the file immediately."
