    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 915

    At noon, Chen Zi'ang was having lunch in the small courtyard of the post station in Luo County, when Cao Shaowei, the chief of military law with a tired face, strode into the small courtyard.

    Cao Shaowei spent the whole night tossing around, sending people to seal up many gambling houses, restaurants, brothels and other places in the city, and storming the Wu family manor, which was exhausting.

    Fortunately, after a series of actions, they achieved fruitful results. They seized a lot of criminal evidence of Wu Chong, the Deputy Chief of Administration of Luo County, corrupting the law and intercepting and killing management.

    "I haven't eaten yet, sit down and talk while eating."

    Chen Zi'ang saw Cao Shaowei, chief of military law, come back, and asked him to sit down and eat together.

    Li Changqing, head of the Jinwei Banner, got up and took a pair of bowls and chopsticks for Cao Shaowei.

    Cao Shaowei has been following Chen Ziang all the time, so he naturally knows Chen Ziang's temperament, so he is not polite, he just picked up the bowl and ate.

    "Marshal, we have seized more than 20 gambling houses, restaurants and shops, and arrested more than 200 people involved in the Wu Chong case."

    "It's just that I encountered resistance when I went to seize them as soon as they left the manor. I ordered a storm and cut off nearly two hundred heads."

    Cao Shaowei reported while digging food into his mouth. From what he said, it seemed that beheading so many people was a common thing, and it was very easy.

    "We seized a batch of letters from his manor, as well as some standard military weapons." Cao Shaowei continued.

    "Um?"

    When Chen Ziang heard Cao Shaowei say that the standard weapons had been seized in Wu's manor, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and looked up at Cao Shaowei.

    "What standard weapon?" Chen Ziang asked.

    Cao Shaowei replied: "One hundred and twenty-one standard swords, five standard crossbow machines and five hundred crossbow arrows."

    After Cao Shaowei said this, not only Chen Ziang's complexion sank, but also Li Changqing's complexion changed slightly.

    The materials of the Qinghe army's war knives are now made of steel using the steel pouring method. They are relatively hard weapons, sharper than some weapons of the imperial court, and this is one of the important reasons why the Qinghe army has a relatively strong combat effectiveness.

    ?Because many of the weapons of the imperial court were poorly crafted and poorly maintained by the soldiers, they did not last long in use.

    The Qinghe army's standardized craftsmanship and materials are all superior, so the weapons are excellent.

    Although the Qinghe Army's weapon production is constantly expanding its production capacity, so far, only field troops can completely use standard weapons.

    Some second-line security forces use weapons that have been eliminated by the first-line troops, many of which were captured by the court.

    Chen Ziang was also shocked to find a sophisticated sword that could not be equipped to the second-line troops yet in the hands of the Wu family's private soldiers.

    Moreover, what was found in the hands of the Wu family's private soldiers was not only a well-made standard sword, but also a bow and crossbow of the Qinghe Army.

    You must know that the Qinghe Army's bows and crossbows were only equipped with the Sharp Blade Assault Brigade, the Guards Banner Battalion and other troops because the output could not keep up.

    Later, a batch of bows and crossbows were successively deployed to the front-line field troops to enhance the combat effectiveness of the front-line troops.

    So far, most of the archers in the field troops on the front line still use hard bows, and less than half of them use hand crossbows.

    The crossbow is a secret weapon for the Qinghe Army to exert its combat effectiveness, and it plays a pivotal role on the battlefield.

    But what Chen Ziang didn't expect was that the first-line archers could not be fully assembled, and now some of them were living among the people.

    And once the crossbow is allowed to flow towards the enemy, this advantage of the Qinghe army will also disappear.

    How could Chen Ziang not be angry when he thought that the bows and crossbows they worked so hard to make appeared among the people.

    "Give me a strict investigation, I want to see who is so daring to reveal the general's weapons!" Chen Ziang patted the table angrily.

    "No!"

    Seeing that Chen Ziang was angry, Cao Shaowei, chief of military law, immediately agreed.

    Originally, it was just an evil deed of a local official, but now it involves the issue of standard weapons in the army, and the nature has changed accordingly.

    Cao Shaowei, chief of military law, knew that this was a very difficult case, because it might offend many people.

    After all, those who dare to resell the weapons in the generals must not be idlers.

    But since Chen Ziang gave the order, even though he knew there were many difficulties, he still decided to investigate, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with.

    ?Because it involves the use of standard weapons in the militaryBecause of the problem of reselling, the case that was originally planned to be handed over to the Government Affairs Office had to be investigated by the Military Justice Department.

    Moreover, Chen Zi'ang also granted Cao Shaowei, Chief Military Judge of the Military Judiciary Department, great powers, that is, he can act cheaply.

    As the general of the Qinghe Army, Chen Ziang naturally couldn't stay in this small place of Luo County for too long, because there were still many important things waiting for him to deal with.

    Therefore, after staying in Luo County for one more day, he took the deputy army commander Wang Cheng and others, and led the triumphant troops to continue northward and return to the base camp, Yunxi Mansion.

    However, Cao Shaowei, chief of military law, stayed in Luo County and began a thorough investigation of the case.

    Cao Shaowei, the chief of the military law, has always kept a low profile, but this time the matter involved too much, and he couldn't keep a low profile.

    On the one hand, he sent people to the arsenal to collect the relevant files of the weapons factory, and on the other hand, he sent people to notify the military judge in the army to assist in the investigation.

    Cao Shaowei himself is going to personally interrogate Wu Chong, the Deputy Chief of Luo County, who has been dismissed and imprisoned, in order to trace the source of these weapons.

    However, the deputy administrative chief of Luo County explained everything, but when it came to the issue of weapons, he began to pretend to be confused and was unwilling to explain anything.

    Cao Shaowei had no choice but to order the military police to be sentenced, but after the sentence, Wu Chong still couldn't pry his mouth open, which made Cao Shaowei quite depressed.

    Just when he had to change his mind and interrogate Wu Chong's subordinates, someone came to the door.

    "My lord, someone wants to see you."

    Someone reported to Cao Shaowei.

    "Who wants to see me?"

    Cao Shaowei, chief of military law, was very puzzled. He didn't know anyone in Luo County that he knew well.

    "He said that his name is Geng Biao, and he is from the Third Field Army."

    After hearing this name, Cao Shaowei, chief of military law, also felt inexplicably familiar.

    "Take him to the living room and wait for me." Cao Shaowei ordered after a little thought.

    Soon, Cao Shaowei walked to the living room of the small courtyard where the inn lived, and a man in Chinese clothes was already waiting for him here.

    "Geng Biao met Mr. Cao."

    Seeing Cao Shaowei in the uniform of a military judge, Geng Biao stood up and bowed his hands with a smile.

    Seeing Geng Biao's face, Cao Shaowei finally remembered.

    It is true that Geng Biao originally belonged to the Third Field Army, and was the commander of the banner battalion, serving under the command of the banner commander Yang Zhong.

    It's just that in the battle between the Qinghe Army and the Southern Army, he was fired because he acted without authorization and caused heavy casualties.

    Now seeing Geng Biao reappearing and looking for himself, Cao Shaowei, Chief Military Law Officer, couldn't help frowning.

    "Aren't you dismissed, what do you want me to do?" (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
