Hexi

Chapter 291 Here Comes!
Su Shou’s words to Han Mo earlier were a bit vague, but the meaning was obvious. The machine that the Defense Department was transforming was the source of the conflict between Duke Zhen Guo and the Ministry of War. They are all weapons, and there is obviously a problem with the Ministry of War right now. It is reasonable for the emperor not to let go and be on guard.But at that time, it was not known who the problem of the Ministry of War was, so it was impossible to have a clear direction, and it could only avoid a frontal conflict.

Now that Chang Wei has been pointed out by Luo Zhi and Yuan Qing successively, it is not clear why Su Shou thinks that Chang Wei will take the opportunity to target Su and Han at the same time, but because of Xue Rong, he keeps secrets from the Chang family, and the Chang family keeps secrets Doing such an action will create obstacles for Lord Zhen Guo and Han Mo, and secretly the beam has already been formed. Taking advantage of the fire tonight, Fang Mei will make things difficult for him in every possible way, so he really has to guard against it.

The carriage arrived outside the Defense Department in less than a quarter of an hour, and told the sentry that it was ordered by Duke Zhen to inspect the basement. The general on duty was from Lord Zhen. There were not too many guards for the sake of too many people, and they never made it difficult, but asked to accompany them to enter together.Han Mo didn't want to waste time, so a group of seven people went to the front of the basement from the usual passageway.

Now the machine is only three out of ten completed, and there are still full weapons hidden inside, so there are still soldiers deployed outside the basement, but the number of personnel does not seem to be more than usual.

Han Mo asked: "There's a lot of chaos tonight. Why don't you increase the number of people when you know that the machine is not yet finished?"

The general said: "When you return to the son, you originally sent 100 more people. However, General Jiumen Weiwu was ordered by the governor to mobilize 500 people to go to the official warehouse to fight the fire, so the 100 people were transferred away."

"The Duke has transferred someone away?"

"Yes."

Su Wei and Han Mo looked at each other, then walked into the basement gate.Under the gate, Han Mo turned his head and said to the general: "We are here on the orders of the governor. With me here, there will be no troubles, and you won't be troubled if you do. Just come here, let's go in and check the machine. Just come out, and don't talk about it."

The general hesitated for a moment, and then cupped his hands: "Then I will wait for the prince at the front exit. This matter is not in compliance with the rules. If someone catches me, I will have to deal with it, so I ask the prince to keep his promise, so as not to embarrass me. .”

"Do not worry!"

Han Mo reassured him, and then let Su Wei in with a wink.

The lights on the four walls of the ground floor were turned on, most of them were made of iron, and there was no cloth, not afraid of candles, so there were a lot of lights, illuminating the spacious house extremely brightly.

Su Luo first said: "The Duke of the country has transferred people away so quickly, so there is no need to worry too much about the fire. Right now, we need to take a closer look at this place to see if someone took advantage of the chaos to come in before us."

Han Mo sent four guards down to check, followed her footsteps to the first machine that had been installed, and said, "Why do you father and daughter think that there is a problem with the Defense Department? What can happen here? Is there anyone else who understands these mechanisms?"

Su Wei raised her lips: "It's hard to say whether I understand or not, but didn't you say that Xue Rong might be wronged? If Xue Rong was framed by Chang Wei's party after covering up the rebels, how could they be willing to do so?" Let go of such a good opportunity and not go back to the Su and Han families? It’s not their style to suffer from being dumb.”

After speaking, Su Luo looked at her subordinates who were operating normally: "But it seems that they are still honest."

Han Mo caught a piece of copper fastener she removed and said, "I'm not at all curious that you would think so. What I'm curious about is your father. How could he think of guarding against the Ministry of War at that moment? Or, guarding against Chang Wei?" ?”

Su Luo glanced at him, and silently restored the clasp on the case to its original state.

"So far, Xue Rong has been wronged. It is just my own guess, and there is no evidence to prove this guess. In such a case that everyone from top to bottom recognized back then, it is possible to say that something went wrong. No. So far, whether it is in the court or in the opposition, everyone thinks that Xue Rong should be guilty of this. Then your father should not suspect Chang Wei, should he?"

Su Luo said: "He personally told you about Chang Wei?"

"That's not true." Han Mo shook his head, "But now that the Minister of the Ministry of War is recovering from illness, Chang Wei has the largest number in the yamen of the Ministry of War. Moreover, since the case of Xue Rong, a group of Chang Wei has gradually gathered around him. People, it can also be said that his prestige is getting higher and higher, but he is very low-key on weekdays. Besides, the person who blocked the dispatch of troops before was Fang Mei. Like Fang Mei, who is second only to the status of the governor, how can ordinary people arrange him? So When your father said to guard against the Ministry of War, he was actually talking about Chang Wei."

Su Wei didn't speak for a while, and checked the mechanism of these key positions in silence.

She could guess what Su Shou was thinking.With Xue Rong in between, it is absolutely impossible for Su Shou to be friendly to the Chang family. What's more, Chang He is still using Su Zhen to find something in the Su family for some reason. Even without Xue Rong, this kind of family is not an upright family. Naturally, he would not tolerate Shou's attitude towards the Xie family and the Xie family back then.

But whether Xue Rong was wronged or not is still unclear.Su Shou kept this secret as tightly as molten iron. Whether it was out of human principles or out of protection for the Su family, she had no reason to reveal it to Han Mo in advance.

"Maybe he thought of something. If you want to know, you can only ask him."

She turned her head and smiled at him again, walked to the bow rack in the corner of the warehouse, and put the question aside.

Han Mo shrugged, and followed with arms folded.

"Your Majesty, Ms. Su," the four guards came back here, "I have checked all of them, and there is no sign of abnormality on the surface."

"Understood." Su Luo replied, then squatted down, and approached the machine in the corner.

"Bang-"

As soon as I rolled up my sleeves, I heard the door that had been closed by them with the machine before suddenly opened!The large flame brought by the raised torch poured into the house, and also illuminated the face under the torch!

"Get down!"

Just as Su Wei was about to ask a question, Han Mo covered his nose and lips!At the same time, the four guards around him also hid behind the knife holder at lightning speed!

Su Luo looked through the gap between the bows and arrows in front of her, and saw two middle-aged generals standing at the door, several people who looked like guards or close guards, and then people from the Defense Department, who had led them here earlier The general in the basement was talking with the two middle-aged generals.

"It's Fang Mei's subordinate Qian Xin!" Han Mo whispered into Su Luo's ear after seeing his face clearly. "What is he doing here?!"
