The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion-Chapter 319: The Reserve

The Gunpowder Bureau was located in the Southeast of the Capital.

Built by the mountains and rivers, with high walls and deep trenches on the outside, there was no shortage of clothing, food, housing, and transportation. There was even a small market, more like a town, isolated from the world by heavy soldiers, rather than an arsenal workshop.

At noon this day, in the supervisory office located in the center of the town, more than twenty officials stood in the center of the lobby with their hands tied, but no sound was heard. Even the essential breath was slowly sucked in and gently exhaled.

Looking further inside, the three main people of the Gunpowder Bureau were also sitting in the hall, from left to right, Lv Yuan, a thousand households Inspector from Shenji Camp, Zhu Shan, a fourth-grade supervisor, and Luo Jing, a hundred household Inspector from the Southern Detective Department.

These three were all consistent figures in the Gunpowder Bureau, and if they came together, there wasnt anything they couldnt do!

But right now

Bam!

As if unable to bear the oppressive atmosphere, Lv Yuan slapped the table and jumped up, standing up with a thousand layers of meat patties on his stomach and shouting, "What the hell is wrong with you guys? When I ask you to be silent, each of your mouths is shooting bullets with ideas. Now that it's really at a critical moment, why are you all mute?

I'm telling you, if this thing gets big, none of you will be well.

After just a few words, he really exerted his strength and after speaking, he hissed and gasped for breath. It took him a while to calm down.

However, until he regained his breath, there was still a dead silence in the hall. Even the two hundred households Inspector, who usually bowed to Lv Yuan, were still observing their noses and hearts without any reaction.

You

Enough.

Lv Yuan gritted his teeth and was about to give a few more scoldings when he heard Supervisor Zhu Shan say in a deep voice, "Let's all wait outside. If there's anything else, we'll call you in.

The officials below, as if granted amnesty, quickly bowed down and retreated.

Lord Zhu, you

Lv Yuan grumbled in dissatisfaction, seeing Zhu Shan's face as heavy as water, just like the gunpowder piled up in the warehouse. In a state of instant explosion, he could only sit back in his chair with suppressed anger.

Inspector Lv, please be calm and not be impatient.

At this moment, Luo Jing, dressed in a black dragon-swallowing cloud robe, said calmly, "We all don't want anything to happen, but since things have already happened, what can be changed if you scold the people below?

Hmph!

Lv Yuan's anger in his heart was more than half directed against Luo Jing. Now that he dared to speak sarcastically, he couldn't help but say, "Lord Luo's words are cleverly put, but don't forget, although the Shenji Camp carries the defense of this Gunpowder Bureau, the verification of internal officials and craftsmen has always been the responsibility of your Dragon Guard.

Upon hearing this, Luo Jing immediately lowered his face and sneered, "Why, are you throwing dirty water on our Dragon Guard? Its fine for me, but I'm afraid Eunuch Xia won't agree.

This was one of the reasons why Lv Yuan felt angry. He had lost his new type of firearm, and before he could figure it out, the responsibility of the three people present should be half a weight. However, Luo Jing relied on his support and insisted on taking himself out of it. How could Lv Yuan be convinced?

As he was about to retaliate, he heard Supervisor Zhu Shan speaking again and said, "Alright, Lao Lv, you should also say a few words less.

This was also another reason why Lv Yuan was angry in his heart. Supervisor Zhu Shan clearly had a bias toward helping Luo Jing. As for the purpose, such matters have always been investigated by the Dragon Guard, and he had befriended Luo Jing, the God-Grandson of Eunuch Xia, in advance, which naturally reduced his responsibility.

But in this way, wasnt he the only candidate to carry the blame?!

The more Lv Yuan thought about it, the more unwilling he became, but he didnt dare to fall out with Zhu Shan and Luo Jing head-on. For a moment, he only became angry and all five internal organs were burned.

Your Excellency, Chief Supervisor.

At this moment, he saw the small official guarding the city gate rushing into the hall and gasping for breath, saying, "The Imperial Envoy sent by the court to investigate... the Imperial Envoy

What?

Has the Imperial Envoy arrived?

The three people in the hall hurriedly stood up, and while Zhu Shan was tidying up his appearance, he ordered, "Quickly prepare all the people outside, so that they can go with me to the gate to greet him.

The small official guarding the gate remained motionless and shook his head like a rattle, saying, "The Imperial Envoy is now in the city. He also like me to inform the Superintendent to please meet him at the warehouse where the new firearms are stored.

Has the Imperial Envoy entered the city?

Lv Yuan said incredulously, "How could this be possible?! Didn't the sentry posts on the official road be notified in advance?

This

The gatekeeper glanced at him awkwardly before hesitating and saying, "The Imperial Envoy has brought a large number of Dragon Guards. They have already taken over the sentries you set up on the road. Even the gatekeeper has now been replaced with his Dragon Guards.

Upon hearing this, Lv Yuan's face turned pale as death.

Next to him, Luo Jing was extremely proud and secretly said that heroes had similar ideas. This Imperial Envoy took over the defense of the Shenji Camp as soon as he arrived and obviously also wanted to target Lv Yuan, a foolish creature!

So he eagerly arched his hand and urged, "Your Excellency, since the Imperial Envoy has orders, we didnt dare to delay.

At this moment, Zhu Shan had already reacted and quickly sent someone to call out the officials outside. The sedan chairs and horseback riders hurriedly rushed to the Gunpowder Bureau Treasury.

As soon as he reached the warehouse to the east, he saw a group of powerful and majestic Dragon Guards, who surrounded the warehouse tightly with their waist swords.

Yuu~

Luo Jing was the first to hold onto the reins and dismount, charging toward one of the Generals. With a hint of disdain, he said, "I wonder which brother or uncle is leading the team? Could you please go and report and say that Luo Xiaoqi is here to greet the Imperial Envoy.

Seeing his undisclosed relationship with the Imperial Envoy, Lv Yuan's old face became even more resentful. He flipped over a few times, but he couldn't get off his horse.

He was conscious of losing face, but suddenly heard the General impatiently saying, "What kind of Xiaoqi or Xiaopa? The thousand households Inspector has ordered, except for Supervisor Zhu Shan and the Shenji Camp thousand households Inspector Lv Yuan, no one is allowed to enter.

Although Luo Jing hit a nail, he was not angry but happy.

What he was most afraid of was that it was a newcomer who couldnt take charge of the matter. Now that he heard it was a thousand households Inspector, he naturally didnt have to worry about these things.

So Luo Jing quickly and happily asked, "I wonder if it's Inspector Zhou, Inspector Zhao, or Inspector Song leading the team?

What about Inspector Zhou or Inspector Song?" freewe bnovel .com

The General, however, angrily scolded, "Inside is Inspector Sun, the Governor of the Northern Detective Department, leading the troops.

North... North North... Northern Detective Department?

At that time, Luo Jing was dumbfounded and blurted out, "This Gunpowder Bureau is directly under the jurisdiction of the Inner Court. What is it related to your Northern Detective Department?! Why are you

What's up?

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Jia Shanyao coming out of the room, staring at him with a gloomy expression and asking, "Are you dissatisfied with Inspector Sun, or do you think that Eunuch Dai, an elderly man, shouldn't have taken on this job at all?

Luo Jing was immediately scolded and speechless. Not to mention Dai Quan, Inspector Sun inside, could also determine his life and death prospects. Therefore, how could he dare to question anything more after the momentary impulse passed?

At this moment, when Lv Yuan heard this, he grinned at the corner of his mouth behind his ear and laughed loudly, kicking off his horse. He arched his hand and said, "Lv Yuan, a thousand households Inspector in the Shenji Camp, requests to meet the Imperial Envoy.
