Chapter 83 Face slap
“I don’t know?” Wang Daxia pinched a needle inserted in Wu Dian’s forehead with two fingers, and gently twisted it.
what! Wu Dianyong only felt that the skull was about to be peeled off his head, “It’s true! I dare not hide it! I really don’t know, but no one discovered how the firearms of the Wang Gong factory got to the basement of Wanhuo Commercial Bank. ——Please, don’t move the needle! I say everything I know!”
Wang Daxia stopped, “Say it!”
Firearms are the most important weapons of the country. This is more important than arresting the leader Zhao Quan.
Wu Dian was sweating all over with the pain, “Take this needle out.”
Wang Daxia: “After you finish speaking, draw again. If there is any concealment, I will add another shot.”
Wu Dianyong had to reluctantly explain.
Wang Gongchang is the heart of the Ming army’s strength to fight against the iron cavalry in the north and the Japanese pirates in the south.
Therefore, firearms need to be tried and inspected layer by layer before they can be issued to various guards. The number must be correct every month, and the Shangguan checks the status and number of the firearms of his subordinates every month. Some strict Shangguans even conduct random checks every day to prevent soldiers from secretly selling firearms to repay the money and flowing into civilians or enemy countries.
With such strict supervision, mutual supervision, and mutual restraint, it is difficult for the White Lotus Sect to move the corner.
However, this batch of firearms did come from the Wang Gong factory.
Wang Gong factory produces new firearms every day, and on average it consumes two tons of firearms/powder per day. Firearms need to be carefully cast. If they are slightly wrong, they will easily burst into flames and damage the Ming army. Firearms are almost purely manual and prone to errors. Therefore, technicians need to repeatedly measure before leaving the factory. Once there are defects or defects, they need to be taken back. Repairs, some of which have major shortcomings, are simply scrapped and rebuilt.
Firearms that normally leave the factory will be branded with serial numbers and issued to the Ming army. The serial numbers can be traced back to the person who used it and the person who made it to facilitate supervision. Therefore, it is very difficult and almost impossible to smuggle firearms in large quantities from Wang Gong factory.
Although these scrapped firearms are accounted for in the account book, they are very loosely managed. They are piled up in the warehouse and the parts are taken apart and thrown into the furnace to be recast. No one is asking.
Bai Lianjiao focused on these scrapped firearms that lack supervision. They bought the technicians responsible for inspecting firearms. During the inspection, they secretly dismantled one or two parts, and regarded the firearms that could be used normally as waste products with major defects and sent them to the waste warehouse.
After a series of operations such as sending money, the people of the White Lotus Sect were hired to carry and pick up miscellaneous goods in the waste warehouse. The custodian of the waste warehouse was a drunkard. “After entering the warehouse, he secretly took the firearm out.
After the firearm is shipped out, the technician will return the parts and turn them into normal firearms, and then transport them to the underground warehouse of Wanhuo.
Since there is a law of wear and tear every month, once the number is too large, it will arouse Wang Gongchang’s suspicion, so Bailianjiao dare not make big moves. Every month, like an ant moving house, it gets more than a dozen pieces, and the water flows long.
However, after accumulating for nearly five years, Bailianjiao has accumulated a lot one after another, and is mixed in the goods and shipped out of Beijing.
Wang Daxia took down the names of the technician and the Bailianjiao handyman, and handed them to Jin Yiwei, “Arrested overnight, so as not to have many dreams at night and let this group run away.”
Wang Daxia took out the needle on Wu Dian’s forehead.
Wu Dian said in a trembling voice, “Thank you.”
“Next question.” Wang Daxia asked: “How many firearms have been outflowed in the past two years? Where did they go? Everything is in your library, don’t say you don’t know.”
Wu Dianyong said: “Originally, the firearms are out of the warehouse. It’s nothing to do with me. The leader will give it to whomever he says. How can I dare to be beaked? However, the leader Zhao Quan is a man of great ambition. Xiangning has a kind? Not satisfied with the status quo of Bailianjiao attached to Ada Khan, he constantly provokes disputes between Ada Khan and Daming, so that he can benefit from it, he just hopes that one day Da Ming and Ada Khan will start. The big battle of the Gengwu Revolution ten years ago, it is best to fight the world in chaos.”
“Then he took the white lotus cult to deceive the desperate and ignorant people, captured several cities, established himself as a king, even ruled the world, and became emperor. So I think based on his ambition, these firearms were basically given to the four major successors. Used by the dead men trained to raise iron cows, the leader has the ambition to dominate the king, relying on Idahan, and also guards against Idahan. He will definitely not dedicate these sophisticated firearms to Idahan.”
“So, I think the firearm must still be in the hands of the White Lotus Sect.”
Wu Dianyong begged Wang Daxia, “please, get the needle”. I was going to be mad. A madman is useless to Jin Yiwei. As long as I save my life and give a bowl of rice to eat, I am willing to be loyal to the court and cooperate with Jin Yiwei to find Tie Niu, retrieve all the firearms that flowed out, and eradicate the White Lotus Sect.”
Wu Dian used this “explicit traitor” to really be a mother with milk, and the transition from “explicit traitor” to “white lotus traitor” is the effort of touching up and down.
Rao was Wang Daxia’s hatred for Wu Dian. At this time, he also knew the importance of Wu Dianyong’s treatment of Jin Yiwei in eradicating the white lotus religion and recovering the lost firearms.
However, Wang Daxia didn’t dare to believe in Wu Dian’s words, this guy was too easy to surrender.
Outside the carriage, Ding Wu secretly calculated the number. Taking fifteen firearms per month as an example, one year and twelve months would be one hundred and eight, and five years would be at least nine hundred!
There are not 900 firearms in Jinyiwei’s warehouse. With such a huge number, as Wu Dianyong said, Daming and Al Dakhan will once again start a big war, and the world will be in chaos. With these 900 firearms, Bai Lianjiao can indeed conquer. City, occupying land is king.
The leader Zhao Quan is not an illusion, this kind of thing is really possible.
Ding Wu quickly wrote a note and asked Jin Yiwei to give it to Wang Daxia.
Wang Daxia looked at it and pulled out the fine needles on the acupuncture points on Wu Dian’s head, and said, “As long as you sincerely cooperate with Jin Yiwei, we will bear the blame, but as long as there is a lie, these needles will be returned to the original owner and the particles will be returned to the warehouse.”
Ding Wu asked Wang Daxia to pull out the needle on the note, so as not to drive Wu Dian’s use crazy or crippled, it would be useful to keep him in the future.
When the needle was removed from the head, the pain immediately disappeared. Wu Dianyong felt that the seven souls and six souls that were free from the body returned to their place, and his hands and feet did not twitch.
It was dark in front of him, and fell into a drowsiness again.
“Hey!” Wang Daxia slapped Wu Dianyong’s face, “Is this dead?”
Ding Wu approached the carriage and tested Wu Dian’s sniff, “It’s not dead. Just now, Pinellia dipped a silver needle into the potion, pierced it into the acupuncture point, and forcibly awakened him. He has reached the limit. The effect of Lan Ke Yimeng has not yet passed. I fell asleep.”
Fortunately, important information has been obtained.
Wang Daxia handed the transcript to Jin Yiwei and delivered it to Lu Bing overnight.
Lu Bing was awakened by his guards in the middle of the night and learned that at least 900 firearms had flowed from Wang Gong’s factory. It was a bit bad on the spot!
This is even more terrifying than knowing that Boss Wang is the leader of the White Lotus Sect, Zhao Quan!
With 900 firearms, thousands of people will die because of it. In contrast, the leader Zhao Quan fled from the secret road and became a fish that slipped through the net. The missing of his whereabouts is not a major event at all.
People who have had repeated strokes are the most taboo against staying up late and being stimulated. Lu Bing took both of them this time. He froze on the bed for a while, and the guards skillfully took out the medicine pills to dissolve them and fed them to Lu Bing.
Lu Bing slowed down and said, “Lord Lu is in Beicheng, and Wang Gong’s factory is in the southwest corner. The journey is far away. Don’t delay the opportunity. I will personally take the technicians from Wang Gong’s factory and the Bailian cultists who work in the abandoned warehouse.”
The guard said, “But your body… it’s still raining heavily outside.”
“Get the medicine I use frequently, and then invite Yu Physician Song over.” Lu Bing got up, “Hurry up.”
According to Wu Dianyong’s account, technicians and handymen live in Shuanghe’an Hutong near Wang Gong’s factory. The two families are separated by only five households. The residents of Shuanghe’an Hutong are basically handicrafts handed down from their ancestors. Gongchang works as a errand, and the son inherits his father’s business.
The five generations of technicians were all in Wang Gong factory, and the ancestors did not expect that the fifth generation would have a rebellious offspring who betrayed Wang Gong factory.
The handyman is from outside. In five years, Wang Gong factory recruited the handyman. The handyman bribed the recruiter and got into the waste warehouse of Wang Gong factory.
The two were embarrassed. The mechanic claimed that the genuine product was rejected as a waste product. After being put into the warehouse, the handyman secretly brought it to the house. Then the mechanic went to the handyman’s house to repair the “waste product” under the pretext of delivery. The underground warehouse.
Two people, four hands, five years, and more than 900 orthodox firearms were smuggled out of the Wang Gong factory like ants, threatening Daming’s safety.
Lu Bingsheng swallowed the hearts of both of them.
Lu Bing got on the carriage and commanded the arrest. He ordered people to set up roadblocks at both ends of Shuanghe’an Hutong, blocking them all. Then the soldiers were divided into two groups to catch the handyman and the technician respectively.
The handyman claimed to be from Baoding, Hebei. He was a widower who had lost his wife. He had no worries. Someone told him a matchmaker, but he refused because of his love for his dead wife. He lived alone all the year round.
But the technician is a native of Beijing, with his wife, children, old and young, who are the pillars of the family.
Lu Bing pointed to the technician’s name and said, “Just stare at him and catch him. Don’t try to threaten him with his family. People who are in the same class with the Bailian Sect have no moral humanity at all. He doesn’t care about his family at all. Life and death.”
The subordinates led away.
Due to the close proximity of the two houses, the handyman and the technician arrested them at the same time in order not to provoke them.
The rain was heavy and the action began. Jin Yiwei broke through the wall and broke the door and broke into the window. He went straight to the bed and pulled the sleeping Zhengxiang handyman and technician from the bed. He stuffed his mouth with numb and tied his hands and feet.
The technician’s family woke up from their sleep and was at a loss.
Lu Bing approached the handyman’s house, and Jin Yiwei dragged out a cabinet from under the bed. There were five fires/guns inside, and it was also the latest flintlock from Wang Gong’s factory to imitate (counterfeit) the Western-Folang Jiguo.
In the past, fire/guns were basically arquebus guns. The fuse needed to be ignited with a scythe and then aimed at the enemy. The fuse burned to the end before firing.
The latest flintlock rifle has no fuse. You only need to dial the stent. There is saltpeter shrapnel in the barrel to automatically ignite and fire bullets.
The production of flintlocks is small. Due to the relationship between Lu Bing and Emperor Jiajing, only Jin Yiwei has been replaced with flintlocks, which shows its preciousness.
It seems that Wu Dianyong has not lied, and he has confessed everything like a bamboo tube pouring beans.
The handyman was gagged and forced to kneel on his knees, but he had a smile on his face, his eyes were full of irony, and he was not afraid of Lu Bing.
Lu Bingba/taking out the numbness in the handyman’s mouth, he said coldly: “You laugh, you won’t be able to laugh right away. Take you to Jinyiwei Prison and see our’good stuff’. You are from the palace. People, you must know the whereabouts of the ** Hall. When you find the ** Hall, you will find the leader Zhao Quan.”
The handyman snorted, “You lackeys of the court, don’t want to dig out any news from me.”
Lu Bing said, “Really? I’m looking forward to it.”
Half an hour later, Jin Yiwei’s most experienced jailer said: “He recruited.”
The author has something to say: the face slapped too quickly. Regarding Miss Yingying’s identity, everyone guessed in the right direction, but they all guessed the wrong result. The result is not so simple. She is a very complicated character, and her fate is more legendary than Li Jiubao.
