Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Back in the house, Zhao Hao didn¡¯t feel sleepy at all.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? When the properties of the Yingtian Mansion, Suzhou Mansion, and Changzhou Mansion were stolen one after another, he felt something strange.

    But before the Spring Festival, Zhao Hao didn't want to cause trouble, so he ignored the matter and ignored it.

    But he didn¡¯t look for trouble, trouble came to him. Today it was finally his turn to have his house stolen.

    However, the more times like this, the more important it is to be loose on the outside and tight on the inside, otherwise the nervousness will be contagious and cause everyone to feel uneasy.

    This is a big taboo for parents who now have four candidates to take care of.

    So he did not interrogate the thief personally, but instead called everyone back to the house.

    Then he deliberately diverted everyone's attention and asked Zhao Shizhen with a smile: "Where did you get the crossbow?"

    "I made it myself according to what the book said" As soon as he mentioned making weapons, Zhao Shizhen immediately got excited and presented the crossbow bow to his uncle as if he were offering a treasure and said:

    "I originally planned to imitate the Zhuge Liannu, but I couldn't figure out how to fire continuously at the same time without losing its power. Or how to automatically fire continuously without having to wind it, so I had to settle for the next best thing"

    Zhao Hao took the heavy crossbow and looked at it carefully under the lamp. He saw that it was made of pine wood. There was an arrow box containing ten arrows on the crossbow arm, and there was a pull rod on the arrow box.

    He followed Zhao Shizhen's instructions and pulled down the lever with force. The crossbow was fully wound, and at the same time, a crossbow arrow fell into the arrow slot.

    Zhao Hao pulled the trigger towards the wall, and with a bang, a foot-long crossbow arrow flew out, and the entire arrow cluster did not enter the wall.

    "Wow" A room full of scholars gasped. This thing looked like a toy, but they didn't expect it to be so powerful.

    But Zhao Shizhen was still there with a look of regret on his face: "This shooting range is too close. I improved it for a long time, and then increased it from twenty steps to forty steps. Otherwise, just now, one arrow could have nailed the man to the wall"

    The scholars looked at each other, finally realizing the numbness in Zhao Hao's scalp just now.

    Zhao Hao also rolled his eyes and said to himself, after four hundred years, you will be sentenced to death, you know?

    Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty only prohibited civilians from owning armor and firearms. Common people could possess cold weapons including bows and crossbows.

    "This is confiscated." He handed the crossbow to Gao Wu and said to Zhao Shizhen, "Take out the rest as well."

    "No more." Zhao Shizhen shrank his neck.

    "Nonsense." Zhao Hao is not easy to fool. This guy has been talking about improvements for a long time. How can it be just one version?

    "Yes" Zhao Shizhen had to change his words.

    ??~~

    After a while, everyone came to the north room in the east wing where Zhao Shizhen lived.

    Then Gao Wu helped him drag the heavy wooden box from under the bed.

    Because he had just moved from the east courtyard, Zhao Shizhen hadn¡¯t had time to put out the things inside.

    When the box was opened, everyone was stunned

    Gao Wu found a total of two bows, four crossbows, a three-eye fire blunderbuss, a number of long and short arrows, gunpowder, lead shot, machine guns, bow strings and other items, as well as more than a dozen weapons manufacturing books.  There are also dozens of notebooks he took

    A whole bed was set up.

    ¡®Can¡¯t afford to offend, can¡¯t afford to offend.  ¡¯ The corners of Zhao Hao¡¯s mouth twitched, and his eyes changed when he looked at Zhao Shizhen.

    It seems that ¡®Go to Japan and capture Oda City alive¡¯ may become more than just a slogan in the future.

    Zhao Hao's three apprentices obviously thought of this section, and they all unconsciously cast flattering glances at Zhao Shizhen.

    They usually bully this kid, and they even sneer at him when he makes mistakes

    Thinking about all the disrespect before, Sanyang now just wants to thank the young master for not killing him.

    ??~~

    Zhao Hao asked Gao Wu to keep these weapons for him. Zhao Shizhen can play with them if he wants, but it must be done under the supervision of Brother Gao.

    ¡°Well, it¡¯s not easy for Brother Gao to become the guardian of another child.

    Zhao Hao couldn't help but think of the way he looked with a knot in his head

    Speaking of children, Zhao Hao looked at Zhao Shixi who was shrinking outside the crowd with an uneasy expression.

    "Is he the thief he discovered?"

    Gao Wu nodded and said in a low voice for a while: "This guy went to the kitchen to steal some food and saw something moving in the warehouse."

    "Do you think I should punish you or reward you?" Zhao Hao looked at Zhao Shixi with a smile.

    "The merits and demerits are equal to each other, the merits and demerits are equal to each other" Zhao Shixi laughed hurriedly, nodded and bowed.

    "That won't work. Gong is merit, fault is fault, there is no confusion." Zhao HaoHe pulled his face and asked Gao Wudao: "What's the punishment for stealing food at night?"

    "Twenty lashes." Gao Wu blurted out.

    "Then how should we reward the thief if we find him?" Zhao Hao asked again.

    Gao Wu shook his head, and after a while he replied: "This is your duty, and you will not be rewarded for your merits."

    "Really? It turns out there is no reward." Zhao Hao looked at Zhao Shixi regretfully and said, "Then put a big red flower on his head and give him twenty whips"

    Zhao Shixi's vision went dark again and he almost fainted.

    Who knows, but Zhao Hao said calmly: "Starting from tomorrow night, he will move in to sleep with Shizhen."

    When Zhao Shixi heard this, the world in his eyes took on color again

    He immediately felt that being whipped was no longer scary.  I couldn't help but burst into tears, sniffling and choking, "Thank you, uncle, I will continue to work hard"

    Zhao Shouzheng, who had been silent all this time, sighed secretly and said to himself, silly boy, even if you haven't done any meritorious service, your uncle will let you move here.

    Before Zhao Jin left, in order to reassure his old brother, Zhao Hao told him that when Zhao Shixi became honest, he would arrange for him to live with Shizhen.

    ¡°After all, he is also the governor¡¯s son, and teaching him a lesson is not an insult to him.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????? What if one day the man of Caijiaxiang gets a man on top of him, how will he explain it to his old brother?

    ??~~

    At this time, the guard man quickly came in and reported that the soldiers patrolling outside heard the noise and asked what happened inside.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? did not care, Zhao Hao said: "Just say, there was a thief who came in to steal something, and we caught him. We will send him to the county government at dawn tomorrow."

    It was late at night and the situation outside was not good, so he did not dare to let outsiders in.

    Zhao Hao, who was poisoned by a third-rate costume drama, said with unfounded worries: 'What if there is a killer dressed as a soldier?  ¡¯

    The man turned around and went to the front yard to reply. When the soldiers outside the door heard this, they were happy to be less troublesome

    Of course, if Zhao Zhongcheng was still there, they would definitely proactively offer to hand over the person to them.

    It¡¯s just that Zhao Hao won¡¯t let him go.

    Back in the main room, Zhao Shouzheng asked Zhao Hao worriedly, was he really a thief?

    Zhao Hao was about to answer when he saw Cai Ming coming back from the interrogation and glanced at him.

    "Young master, you are just an ordinary thief. You want to steal something while Zhongcheng and his wife are not at home." Cai Ming had already heard Zhao Shouzheng's question, and when he saw Zhao Hao's eyes, he immediately knew what to say.

    "Hey, I didn't expect that the public security in this imperial city would be so bad." Zhao Hao curled his lips and said to his father and disciples with a relaxed expression: "This is not the first time. It's okay. Let's go to bed."

    Everyone then went back to their rooms.

    Zhao Hao quietly left the main courtyard and entered the back courtyard where the torches were lit.

    At this time, Cai Mingcai revealed the truth in a low voice and said: "Young master, I encountered a tough situation. I knocked him unconscious several times, but I just refused to say anything."

    "A dead soldier?" Zhao Haoxin said it was okay, he didn't bite the poisonous sac like in martial arts novels.

    "It's very possible." Cai Ming was a scout and was much smarter than the ordinary men in Caijiaxiang.  "Anyway, he will definitely not be an ordinary thief."

    "Did you find the thing?" As he spoke, Zhao Hao walked to the door of the warehouse.

    It was as bright as day in the warehouse, and Fang Wen was rummaging through boxes and cabinets to search carefully.  This kind of work that requires carefulness is more suitable for him to do.

    ???????????????????????????????????????: The main items here are the belongings that the men from Caijiaxiang brought to Beijing. They are just some clothes and daily utensils, nothing valuable, so Gao Wu did not arrange for anyone to be on special guard duty.

    Who would have thought that someone would steal it here?

    This made Brother Gao feel very frustrated, so he handed over the interrogation to others, and silently reflected and summarized himself, preparing to have a deep review with the young master

    Just when he finally organized his words and was about to launch self-criticism, he heard Fang Wen let out a sigh.

    "Huh? Whose thing is this?"
