In the East Market, the chaos gradually ceased.
Three Zhaodi merchants were captured by the soldiers who rushed to catch them, and the three craftsmen arranged by Li San were all injured. At the same time, news came that there was chaos in the West Market, and the craftsmen were also injured.
"What the is going on?" Li San frowned and said, everything was in his plan, but things seriously exceeded his expectations.
"Immediately notify all the craftsmen to return to the Equipment Department, we are probably fooled." After thinking for a while, Li San said in shock.
He turned his head to look at Xiangwei's restaurant, only to see Zhao Kuan turn around and enter the restaurant.
He continued to ask: "How is the situation in the restaurant?"
"There are two guards who don't know where they went?" said a shopkeeper in the restaurant.
Li San felt that something was wrong more and more, "Do it quickly, and I will go to see your Highness."
All the secret guards responded and dispersed, and Li San immediately went to the palace.
"What, the craftsman was beaten?" Xiao Ming was slightly surprised when Li San told the situation in the East and West cities.
To be on the safe side, he said to Zhao Long: "You immediately notify the guards to close the gate. Without my order, the gate is not allowed."
Then he said to Li San: "Let's go, let's go to the equipment department now."
When the two went out, three long and two short bells rang in Qingzhou City. This was an order to call the craftsman to return to the Equipment Department urgently.
When we arrived at the Equipment Department, some craftsmen had returned one after another. After an hour or so, almost all the craftsmen arrived.
"His Royal Highness, what's going on?" Chen Wenlong also rushed to the Equipment Department, looking nervous.
"I'm afraid something has happened." Xiao Ming has seen these craftsmen one by one, and he always feels that one is missing. He often goes in and out of the equipment department and is naturally familiar with the craftsmen here.
"His Royal Highness, Zhang Liu is gone." A craftsman suddenly shouted.
Xiao Ming nodded, it was Zhang Liu.
Chen Wenlong's expression suddenly sank when he heard the words. He understood that now all forces are staring at the Equipment Division, and this craftsman is their hunting target.
"His Royal Highness, is it..." Chen Wenlong hesitated.
"I am afraid that Zhang Liu will be taken away. This king really underestimated the courage of these people. Originally thought that they would only use the method of bribery, but he didn't expect them to take them away directly." Xiao Ming said in a loud voice.
Li San's face flushed, and he said angrily: "Who followed Zhang Liu?"
"Li Dutong, I was with Zhang Liu. I saw Zhang Liu entering the street in front of Duan Jiafang and stopped following. After all, we used to follow this way." A secret guard said fearfully.
"Why would Zhang Liu get caught in Duan Jiafang?" Li San asked in confusion.
A craftsman said: "Unless the workshops meet at that time, there will be no patrols on the street in front of Duanjiafang at that time."
"It's a meticulous plan. It seems that they have not planned for this matter in a day or two." Xiao Ming smiled bitterly.
Speaking of the establishment of the secret guards not long, and Zhao Di has been passed down from generation to generation, Zhao Wang naturally has a mature intelligence system, and his secret guards are still a bit tender.
Zhang Liu is one of the core craftsmen of the Equipment Department. He is not only involved in the refining of steel, but also the core personnel in the production of artillery. He also participated in the production of hydraulic forging machines.
If Zhang Liu was taken away, it would mean that all the crafts Zhang Liu mastered might be acquired by others, and this would lead to serious consequences.
"Find it for me, even if you turn Qingzhou City out of the sky, you will find people for me." Xiao Ming said.
Li San said angrily: "His Royal Highness, it is better to arrest Zhao Kuan directly and interrogate him strictly."
"Do you have any evidence? Which force has Zhang Liu taken away, are you sure?" Xiao Ming asked.
Li San looked ashamed and shook his head.
Xiao Ming said: "The work of the secret guard is still not rigorous enough. You are responsible for Li San."
Li San knelt down and said: "Please also your Highness to punish you."
"Punishment or punishment depends on whether you can commit a crime or not. Zhang Liu must not leave the king's fief." Xiao Ming said.
"Yes, Your Highness, I'll do it right now." Li San was annoyed in his heart. He was tricked this time, which was a provocation to him.
When he got up, he looked at the secret guard who had lost Zhang Liu and said, "What are you doing in a daze? Tell all the secret guards immediately and use all your eyeliners to look for Zhang Liu. Your Royal Highness chopped off my head, and I chopped your head. "
The secret guard shivered with fright, and immediately left the equipment department.
Li San also turned and left.
Chen Wenlong sighed at this time, "His Royal Highness, there are so many craftsmen, and the manpower of the secret guard is limited. It is impossible for everyone to watch so carefully. Now Qingzhou has a lot of meticulous work and it is impossible to prevent it. I must think of a safe method."
Xiao Ming nodded, "You are right, it's just too difficult."
Since ancient times, this spy has been a very difficult group of people to guard against. The most effective way to deal with spies is spies, that is, the secret guards headed by Li San and Wang Xuan.
In addition, regardless of the Department of Equipment ~EbookFREE.me~Military Workshop or other workshops, craftsmen who have core secrets will sign a confidentiality contract. The contract stipulates clearly that anyone who leaks Qingzhou secrets Will be punished harshly.
This is to guard against being bought by spies from the craftsman level, but this time neither he nor Li San expected that this meticulous work was so bold that they would take people away directly.
He was worried, and suddenly Li San came back, and Wang Xuan came in with him.
I saw Li Sanyi's unhappy face, while Wang Xuan said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, I caught the person who looted Zhang Liu, but this person claimed to be the son of King Zhao, and he still hopes to go down and deal with it."
"Caught? How did you catch him?" Xiao Ming asked in confusion.
The secret guards are now divided into left guards and right guards. Currently, Li San is in charge of fief affairs, while Wang Xuan is mainly responsible for external intelligence spying.
Wang Xuan said: "His Royal Highness, this incident is a coincidence. Li San never used to absorb the ruffians from the market to fill the secret guards, but in my opinion, these people are the most suitable as eyeliners, so they have long been introduced. A group of people entered the secret guard. Similarly, the merchants in Zhaodi seemed to have bought some street ruffians as I thought, but one of them was the secret guard. After learning about this, I asked him to count him. Just look at what these Zhaodi merchants want to do? Never thought that today they were ordered to take Zhang Liu away temporarily."
After a pause, Wang Xuan went on to say: "At this time, the time is very short, so I didn't notify Li San, so I took the secret guard and robbed the carriage on the way."
Hearing this, Xiao Ming lightly breathed a sigh of relief. He invested a lot of money and manpower, and this secret guard had some effect after all.
"Wang Xuan, you deliberately wanted me to be ashamed in front of the temple." Deputy Li Sanyi looked wronged, and there was no chance for him to commit a crime.
