The emperor's imperial study was brightly lit, and Long Yan, who was sitting behind the imperial table, was very angry. In the middle of the study, Wu An, the head of the Ordnance Office, and Wang Yi, the leader of the Xiangshuigang Armory Guard, were kneeling in the middle of the study.

The inventory of the ordnance is counted every month. This time the emperor issued an order to use thunder to attack Yunchu. It was just the beginning of the month before the inventory was completed. Wu An, who was in charge of the ordnance, directly asked someone to take the deputy general sent by General Jiang to move the goods.

Unexpectedly, there was a box of grenades missing when opening the warehouse door. There were eighty grenades in this box, eighty. In this era of purely handmade cold weapons, it was not a small number.

The local method is made, and there are not many finished products. Previously, a part of them had been entered into the Xilin City Armory, which was used to guard the new capital and the imperial palace for reserves. There were three boxes of mines in Xiangshuiban warehouse and three boxes of grenades. This suddenly disappeared a box, and the village was shocked.

Wu An and Wang Yi found nothing after conducting a investigation in the village. Then they came to report day and night. As soon as they entered Xilin City, they went straight to the palace. Losing this box of thunder was a big deal. Since Xiangshui became a heavy place for military equipment, the guards were tight and outsiders could not enter. This could mean that there was an insider in the village. Now we have to find out who the insider is and find a way to recover the lost property.

The emperor immediately sent guards to retrieve Ruan Hui, Hu Daoba, Qiao Wu and others from the dimly lit street. The three of them all came over Xizi Street, so the imperial study room that they arrived at the palace gate at the same time, all of them said they didn't know what was wrong.

As soon as he entered the study, he saw the Li and after hearing the whole story, the emperor ordered Hu Daoba to strengthen the guards of the imperial city, and asked Ruan Hui and Erqiao to return to the waterside with Wu An and Wang Yi overnight to deal with the matter.

If there is a big event, no one can worry about going there. Only the prince and Qiao Wu who are familiar with the village can do it.

A team of people rushed to Xiangshui for a day and a half.

Ruan Hui sat in the middle of the Qiao family in the left bank, listening to Qiao Wu’s questioning. Since the North Frontier, almost all Qiao Wu has been on the stage. He has a very high talent for interrogation and can pick out useful value from clues every time.

"Master Three, did the village strengthen the guards when you came out? Have everyone in the village counted them, whether there were any entry and exit from the village, etc."

"The defense has been strengthened, but the number of people has not been counted. I just checked the craftsmen involved in the production."

It is difficult for outsiders to enter Xiangshui Village, and it can almost be ruled out that the possibility of outsiders stealing is only one type of crime, and the one who commits the crime.

The warehouse is counted every month. Today is the tenth day of the first lunar month, and the number of people passing by on the 30th of the last month is enough to check the seven days from the 30th of the last month to the sixth day of the first lunar month.

The six deputy generals under Erqiao's army came to ask Qiao Wu to inquire, but these families have not been out recently. After this investigation, only Wu An's nephew Wu Dali was not in the village.

"When did Wu Dali leave the village? Did he bring anything?" Erqiao asked with no idea. Don't be him, otherwise what would happen to the third master and Grandma Wu? That would be his only nephew.

"I left the village yesterday morning and drove the carriage, but I didn't check..." The guard at the entrance of the canyon replied.

Yesterday morning? The time didn't match. Everyone looked at each other and thought about it like this, but after a change of thought, it couldn't be ruled out. What if he stole it out and found that the matter was exposed, he had to find a way to escape with his things?

Wang Yi was immediately furious, "When you left, don't you ask me to leave the village immediately and find out if you have any robbery?"

"This, this is not Lord Wu's nephew..." The guard knew that he was wrong and could not refuse.

Dismissal and investigate! After the guard was handled, everyone looked at Wu An.

Wu An blushed and couldn't speak. Could it be his own nephew? He should work in an iron field normally. How many days does it take for no reason? What would he do? What would he want to do?

Wu An got up from his seat in panic and knelt down at Ruan Hui, "Crown Prince, I requested to investigate Wu Dali immediately. In order to avoid suspicion, I resigned from the Ordnance Office and cooperated with the investigation."

Wu An is Qiao Qiao's third godfather. Although the prince's affairs of his daughter with him were well-informed in the village, he must correct his attitude and assist in the investigation of the case. He must prove that he has nothing to do with this matter. It is not that he is afraid of death and wants to separate himself from him. Instead, the future crown princess cannot have such a godfather, and his family cannot implicate his daughter.

When it comes to having his daughter and nephew, Wu An is definitely looking forward to having his daughter.

"Mr. Wu get up first, you don't need to check. I believe it's not you." Ruan Hui stood up and hurriedly helped the person up.

Wu An asked confusedly, "Of course I believe in me, but why?"

It’s not good to believe you, so why do you have to ask? The whole audience couldn’t help but want to laugh. Do you want to be happy if you mess with something to provoke?

"Mr. Wu is the head of the entire Ordnance Department. If he had this intention, he would move directly when he entered the warehouse. How could he have seen a box of missing?" After Ruan Hui said, everyone suddenly realized.

"Prince Xie believes it, but still..." Wu An interrupted before he finished speaking.

"Suppose it is Wu Dali, why did he want that box of thunder? The crime must have a motive." Ruan Hui paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, suddenly looking at Erqiao and asked, "Will someone instruct me to be bribed?"

"It's very possible. Didn't the fact that Spy Yun Chu kidnapped you and Qiao'er a few days ago? It's also for thunder." Erqiao said.

"Ah? Qiao'er was kidnapped?" Wu An suffered another blow, "Is Qiao'er okay?"

"It's okay, Master Three Don't worry." Er Qiao gave the master a comforting smile. Qiao'er's godfather was worried about her with all his heart. This girl is really capable.

"Everyone should do what they should do. What should be investigated in the village will continue to investigate. Now I am just suspicious of Wu Dali. I must find a way to find someone." Ruan Hui ordered someone to notify the secret whistle placed in the Shitan Forest Farm. If you find suspicious traces, you will report it immediately.

"Okay, I'll go back and ask my mother first to see if there are any clues or suspicious points." Wu An bowed to Ruan Hui and left.

When everyone was out, Er Qiao asked Ruan Hui, "Do you really believe in my third master or do you find reasons to believe it for my sister's sake?"

"Public is public, private is private, of course I really believe that if I am Qiao'er's godfather, I will do it as well. At worst, I can kneel down and beg for forgiveness afterwards. Qiao'er is a reasonable person." Ruan Hui looked at Erqiao's answer seriously, and Zhang Jun's face was not embarrassed at all to kneel down and begging for mercy.

Erqiao laughed when he thought about it, knelt down and begged for forgiveness. It was really possible that you could do the infatuation with my sister.

"It's not easy to find someone in Shitan Forest Farm. In addition, after two days, he might have already left the forest and went to where he went?" Erqiao's worries were very likely.

"What's your solution?" Ruan Hui asked.

"Maybe there is a way to do it." Erqiao's mind flashed.
