The last three kingdoms

Chapter 45
Although Zhang Le looks cynical, he has never shirked his responsibilities. He and Liu Yin only had some minor grievances, and there is no deep hatred. To be honest, Zhang Le still admires Liu Yin, who is thoughtful and thoughtful. Clever, on the first day of taking office, he actually figured out the clues of the seemingly messy headless case, and uncovered amazing clues with only a few ordinary-looking sabers.

The assassination case in Mount Qingcheng was a major case of no small importance. Since Zhang Le entered the Lieutenant's Mansion, it was the first time he had handled such a major and important case. Being able to get the culprit was a great achievement, and Zhang Le naturally did his part.

"No!" Zhang Le clapped his hands and said yes, immediately ordered four guards and walked out.

"Take a few more people, just in case something happens," Liu Yin said.

Zhang Le waved his hand carelessly, and said: "If you take him as a mere civil servant, you can easily catch him. Why do you need a lot of people?" After finishing speaking, he led four guards and a leading Habayashi guard to leave the arsenal quickly.

"Huang Ran lives in Qilizhuang. He has no father, no mother, no wife and no children. He is alone, a civil servant, and has no strength to restrain a chicken. As long as the captain goes, forgive him and he can't escape." Xing Ping said flatteringly. .

"Alone?" Liu Yin secretly asked a question in his heart. It is not uncommon for both parents to die, but Wu Kucheng can be regarded as an official who is more than six hundred shi, so he is not so poor that he can't even afford his wife. The ancients It is said that there are three kinds of unfilial piety and no offspring is the greatest. This yellow dye is indeed a bit weird. "Where is this Huang Ran from?"

"A native of Xinye in Jingzhou, he moved to Yizhou with his father in his early years. Seeing that he was serving as a guard in the feather forest, he was tired and moved to Wukucheng."

When the First Lord entered Sichuan, quite a few people from Jingzhou accompanied him to Sichuan. This is nothing unusual, but most of the officials lived in the city. , although it is impossible to make life very nourishing, it is not difficult to solve food and clothing, not to mention that Huang Ran is alone and has no family members, so he should have no burden. It is intriguing to choose to live in the outskirts of the city.

"Quickly check all the accounts that Huang Ran has handled in the past two years, and see if there are any problems?" Liu Yin ordered.

Among the servants of the Lieutenant's Mansion, there are also masters of account checking, who cooperate with the master of the arsenal. Although these accounts are piled up like a mountain, some clues have been cleared up in the shortest time. According to the verified accounts, Huang Ran's Over the past few years, through false reports, fake collars and other means, a large amount of weapons and equipment have been obtained from the arsenal, which is enough to support a team of hundreds of people.

Xing Ping's cold sweat dripped down, Huang Ran was guarding himself from theft, and he, the head of the arsenal, was completely unaware. Xing Ping had already seen the gate of the sky prison opened for him.

Liu Yin's brows were also tightly furrowed. This Huang Ran seemed to be more terrifying than imagined. The 35 sabers were just the tip of the iceberg. The black hand stretched out to the arsenal had not stolen it in the past few years. How much military supplies.

These military supplies are all strictly controlled items, and they are prohibited from being sold in the market. It is precisely because of this that these items are available in the black market, and the prices are ridiculously high. If it is just corruption, it is impossible for Huang Ran to be so crazy Steal ordnance as much as possible, because even a tenth of it is sold on the black market, which is an amazing profit.Doing this kind of thing is also very risky. If it was just greed for money, Huang Ran would not be so bold.

Does Huang Ran still have an ulterior secret?

He has no family members and lives in the suburbs. Everything is only for his convenience.

Liu Yin's face darkened, and he said to Ah Jian: "Let's leave the city quickly, Zhang Le is in danger!"

Zhang Le kicked on the broken bamboo door, and the bamboo door fell down with a bang.

Huang Ran's home is at the east end of Qilizhuang. It is an isolated small courtyard with no neighbors on all sides. The house is small and dilapidated, just a few dilapidated thatched huts. Residence of officials.

In the courtyard, there was an old man in his fifties, cloth robe and Gejin, with a slightly hunched back, as if he was packing his things, his back was facing Zhang Le, so that Zhang Le could not see his face clearly.

The Habayashi guard who followed Zhang Le to lead the way whispered to Zhang Le: "My lord, he is Huang Ran, Cheng of the Arsenal."

Zhang Le didn't seem to have thought that Huang Ran would look like this, but he came here to arrest criminals, it doesn't matter what Huang Ran looks like, the important thing is to find someone.

Zhang Le put his hand on the handle of the knife, and said in a deep voice: "Huang Ran, something happened to you, come with us!"

Huang Ran bent his back and turned around slowly, his eyes were surprisingly calm.

"It turned out to be the officers and adults of the Lieutenant's Mansion, ahem, how about letting the old man pack some clothes before leaving?"

Zhang Le didn't feel that such a haggard old man was a threat at all. Under his own eyes, forgive him for not being able to play any tricks, so he nodded noncommittally, which was considered to have agreed to his request.

Huang Ran walked slowly towards the dilapidated thatched hut on crutches. He walked very slowly and staggered, but the moment he entered the room, Huang Ran turned his head, and a strange spirit flashed in his eyes. mango.

Zhang Le happened to be staring at him, and seeing his gaze, Zhang Le felt a chill in his heart, and secretly yelled that he was not good.

At the same time, more than a dozen cold lights suddenly shot out from the door and window of the thatched cottage, and they attacked Zhang Le and the others at an extremely fast speed. Lin Wei was caught off guard, and was shot in the throat by the crossbow arrows that rushed towards him. He fell to the ground and died without even making a scream of dying.

Although Zhang Le was prepared and already had the knife in his hand, within such a short distance, the opponent used an extremely powerful crossbow, and it was almost inevitable.

But Zhang Le was not willing to stand still, shouted violently, swung his knife and knocked down the crossbow arrow that was shot at his face door, and slid sideways, the crossbow arrow that shot at his chest also flew embarrassingly against his body past.

But since those crossbowmen saw that Zhang Le was the leader, they naturally had to take care of him more. At least four crossbow arrows were aimed at him. The momentum of the ear flew towards him, directly attacking his vitals.
