Chapter 690: [The Gunpowder Bureau Stolen]
Chapter 690: [The Gunpowder Bureau was stolen]
...
Unexpectedly, what he said to those students of the Spy Academy was so valued by Lee Hyo-gong.
He said: "Uncle Li is right. However, Hou Junji is very suspicious about this matter, so more people need to be sent to keep an eye on him. On the other hand, check whether Hou Junji has ever contacted the Gunpowder Bureau and stole gunpowder. To do this, we need to tell my father about this matter, and after he makes a decision, we will do it according to his decision!"
Li Xiaogong nodded in agreement with Li Chengqian's opinion.
After the two agreed, Li Xiaogong took Li Chengqian to see what was found from the spy, the pack of gunpowder and the formula.
The gunpowder is wrapped in a piece of oil paper, wrapped in three or four layers, which is very tight. It can be seen that the spy attaches great importance to this thing.
Another recipe was written on cloth. Li Chengqian thought the text on it would be in ancient Korean characters, but when he saw that it was damn, it turned out to be Chinese characters from the Tang Dynasty.
Li Chengqian couldn't help but look down on him.
It is easy to read Chinese characters. The various words written on it are completely different from Li Chengqian's recipe. Only one or two pieces of raw materials are the same. However, the raw materials are not proportional, so gunpowder cannot be used.
From this point of view, it seems that the spy cannot get the real formula for gunpowder, it is just a rough guess!
The situation here can be divided into several situations.
After Hou Junji stole gunpowder, he could not get the gunpowder formula. It can be seen here that the confidentiality system of the Gunpowder Bureau is still very high. Hou Junji is the Minister of National Defense, and he can't even get the recipe, so others can't get it. Even Cheng Laohuo and Li Jing who are in charge of the Gunpowder Bureau are unable to get it, and the masters below are all divided into several parts, and the engineers below may not know what the entire recipe is.
It is possible that Hou Junji had his subordinates working in the Gunpowder Bureau. So he could get gunpowder, but he couldn't get the formula, so he could only guess it by himself, so he wrote it randomly and handed it over to the spy in Goguryeo.
It is also possible that Hou Junji has a subordinate who is responsible for the raw materials for gunpowder. He knows two of the raw materials, and other places are also guessed.
Judging from these situations, no one has stole the formula. Li Chengqian felt relieved.
Fortunately, otherwise the gunpowder would be at the hands of the enemy, and wouldn’t the Tang Dynasty be in trouble?
"Who has seen this recipe?" Li Chengqian asked.
Li Xiaogong replied: "I have seen it on the 42nd. He saw that there was gunpowder on the recipe, so he guessed it. No one had seen it except him. It was protected by No. 2. After coming here, no one had moved it. No. 42 has been locked up now!"
No one knows the recipe for gunpowder, so when you see what is written inside, of course you don’t know what it is. However, there is a pack of gunpowder next to it, and gunpowder is written on the recipe, which is still easy to guess.
The gunpowder formula not only keeps the enemy confidential, but also keeps it confidential to your own people. Therefore, the formula cannot be seen by anyone. Even if it is a spy, you must be careful after seeing it.
So Li Xiaogong not only did not look at the recipe, but also locked up No. 42. This is a very correct way to do it.
"This recipe is fake and useless. Let No. 42 out." Li Chengqian said.
When Li Xiaogong heard this, his face was happy and said, "So it's fake, that's fine!"
If the fake formula is not stressed when you go to the Spy Academy. If it is a real formula, it will be troublesome. The Spy Academy said that they have never seen it again, so will Li Chengqian and Lao Li believe it?
Now, it's proven to be fake, and the pressure from the Spy House is gone.
Another thing is that the formula is fake, so don’t worry that the formula has been leaked out before, and it will not pose a threat to the country.
"We'll go see my father now!" Li Chengqian said to Li Xiaogong.
Li Xiaogong nodded.
Lao Long collected all the evidence and followed Li Chengqian out.
Ganlu Temple.
Lao Li is discussing state affairs with Fang Xuanling and others.
After Li Chengqian and others came in, they stood aside and waited for Lao Li to finish the talk.
Old Li had already stopped and wanted to hear what Li Chengqian had to come to him first.
But Li Chengqian refused and said, "The father and uncle should put state affairs first. The affairs of the sons are insignificant, so it is okay to postpone it."
Although he said this, both Lao Li and Fang Xuanling heard that Li Chengqian had something to talk to Lao Li about, and even Fang Xuanling could not listen.
Seeing that even Li Xiaogong was standing next to him, I quickly reminded me of something.
So Lao Li and Fang Xuanling hurriedly ended the state affairs, and Fang Xuanling offered to say goodbye and walked out of the Ganlu Palace.
Old Li waved his hand to the people in the hall and asked them to go down. Soon the four Lis left in the hall were Li Chengqian, Li Xiaogong, Lao Li, and Li Yifeng.
"Chengqian, what's the matter? Tell me!" Old Li Ying asked with a flash of light in his eyes.
Li Chengqian stepped forward and said, "The Spy Institute stopped a Goguryeo spy and found gunpowder and an incomplete formula from him. The spy had secret contact with Hou Junji in Chang'an!"
He took the evidence from his sleeve and said, "This is gunpowder and formula."
While he was talking, he suddenly felt a gust of hot wind blowing in Lao Li’s direction!
It's almost November now, and the weather is getting colder, so where is the hot wind?
But Li Chengqian just felt it, which made him feel difficult to breathe for a while.
This is Lao Li’s momentum!
A kingly aura that wants to show its might!
A momentum that is touched by the reverse scale!
Li Yifeng came down and took Li Chengqian's evidence and handed it to Lao Li to show.
After just glanced at him, Old Li did not pay more attention to these two documents. He looked at Li Chengqian and Li Xiaogong and asked, "What are you going to do?"
For him, he didn't need to study the authenticity of the evidence or how many ingredients there were. As long as Li Chengqian and others found the evidence and showed it to him.
Li Xiaogong stood up and expressed his previous opinions discussed with Li Chengqian.
"Well, okay, I'll let Li Jing check with you!" Old Li said in a deep voice.
Li Yifeng went down and asked someone to call Li Jing in.
Li Chengqian and Li Xiaogong both calmed down. Old Li said something was a little bit blaming Li Jing.
He was in charge of this gunpowder bureau. Someone actually stole the gunpowder and touched the recipe. This is a dereliction of duty!
Now I ask Li Jing to cooperate with Cha Hou Junji, and I want to hit him.
In the heart of the emperor Lao Li, who knows if he would suspect that Li Jing and Hou Junji had a friendship, so he relaxed with him!
After a while, Li Jing arrived.
When he saw the depressing atmosphere in the Ganlu Palace, he couldn't help but feel a sudden sudden feeling.
After he bowed to Lao Li, Lao Li handed him the gunpowder and the formula.
Chapter completed!
