The New Biography of Han Lingdi

Chapter 159
"This incident started three years ago. At the beginning, I knew a man named Wang Qing. When we first met, we got along very well."

"Well, when he knew that I was the one in charge of the arsenal, he often took me out of some casinos. It made me addicted to gambling. At that time, because I played a lot, I owed a lot of money. I was penniless When I was asked to pay back the money, Wang Qing saved me once."

"He told me that he had a business, and asked me if I would do it?" Zhang Da told the story.

"You are responsible for stealing the weapons from the arsenal in the Sili area, and they are responsible for selling them, right?" Wang Meng said.

"Yes, I was surprised at the beginning, and I didn't want to do it at all, but he said that the court is peaceful, and there is no possibility of a big war, so there is nothing wrong with taking out weapons and selling them."

"Later, because people kept asking for money, I had no choice but to believe his words. Later, because the big man didn't have a war, I was relieved."

"However, within a few days, Li Maozhen's rebellion broke out immediately. The imperial court collected the weapons in the arsenal. I hurried to find Wang Qing. Wang Qing was also afraid, so he went to prepare the weapons overnight. It took five or six days to replenish the weapons. .”

"After I finally prepared the weapons needed to put down Li Maozhen's rebellion, I was afraid, so I told Wang Qing, let's stop. I have almost paid back the money I owed, so I don't want to do it anymore."

"However, he disagreed, saying that if I quit, he would report to the court. After being helpless, I can only continue."

"Later, things got bigger and bigger, and we took out more and more weapons. One day we found that we could no longer return the weapons."

"The Yanzhou rebellion happened, and the imperial court began to order the arsenal in the Sili area to start transporting weapons to the imperial army. But I didn't expect that our weapons were not enough at all."

"Then I went to Wang Qing immediately, but he also told me that he would not be able to produce weapons in a short time, and then I was afraid, and I asked him if he had sold the weapons to those who judged the chaos in Yanzhou. Say yes."

"I understood right away. A total of more than 4000 weapons passed through my hands in the Sili area. If I were found out, I would die. I was afraid at the time."

"Wait, there are more than 14000 weapons that have passed through your hands, so the question is. Why did only more than 3000 weapons leaked out across the country?" Wang Meng suddenly realized something was wrong.

"This is because when a war started, we transferred the weapons out, and when the war ended, the weapons came back. We also did the registration and storage."

"At that time, we only needed to make a slight change to the above, saying that because some were damaged in the war and did not enter the arsenal, we could embezzle those that were originally good, but ended up embezzling them ourselves."

"That's why there are only 3000 pieces that have been distributed across the country, but in fact I have dealt with more than 14000 pieces. It's just because when weapons are recruited for war, we basically send out weapons, and there are very few such weapons in other places. case. So theirs is generally accurate."

"Okay, let's continue." Wang Meng and Liu Bowen took a look and continued.

"At that time, when I knew that the weapons of the Yanzhou rebellion came from me, I started to be afraid. I told Wang Qing, if it doesn't work, let's run away."

"But Wang Qing suddenly said, don't worry, there are people behind him who will help him, many religions are behind him, if something happens to us, those people will use all their connections to save me.

"And because I have no other choice, I can only listen to him." Zhang Da continued.

"Wait, many religions?" Bowen Liu asked.

"Yes, he said that those religions mainly sell weapons to. I don't know who they are." Zhang Da said.

"Later, you will know that we have been delaying this matter for many days because of the mobilization of weapons. In the end, the court found out, and we couldn't hide it. At that time, the court didn't care, so I thought the court didn't investigate , let your guard down."

"I stayed in Sili, and later, you came." Zhang Da said.

"Do you know where Wang Qing lives now?" Liu Bowen asked, the most important person in the whole thing is this Wang Qing.

He brought up the relationship between the arsenal and religion, and sold the weapons in the arsenal to religions, so Wang Qing must understand those religions.

Then the top priority now is to quickly find Wang Qing and arrest him. Otherwise, once Wang Qing escapes from the Sili area, they will never have a chance to catch Wang Qing again. Then Zhang Da's line can only be broken. up.

"He is now the boss of Wanhua Building." Zhang Da has said everything now, so he doesn't care what he betrays or not.

"The biggest brothel in Luoyang?" Liu Bowen asked Wang Meng, who was a little uncertain.

"Don't look at me, I haven't been there, but I've heard of it, it seems to be." Wang Meng said.

"Send someone to arrest him. I will go find your Majesty and blockade Luoyang..." Liu Bowen said.

When arresting Zhang Da, they did not arrest Zhang Da openly. What they said at the beginning was to assist the Ministry of Industry to help build a new arsenal.

Using this as a reason, Zhang Da was arrested. It was less than five hours ago. At this time, he also felt that Wang Qing had no chance to respond, so he immediately sent someone to arrest him.

Because he was pressed for time, Wang Meng immediately led more than 30 of his men to Wanhua Tower. Since it was night, there were quite a lot of people at this time.They are also open at night after all.

"Gentlemen, we are allowed to drive," said the old bustard.Brothels are now allowed in the entire Dahan area.After all, when there was no chamber of commerce, the imperial court relied on this to make money.

"Stop talking nonsense, where's Wang Qing?" Wang Meng said.At this time, he didn't want to spend too much time with other people.

"My lord is on the fifth floor." The bustard didn't realize that they were looking for Wang Qing.But they didn't hide anything, they couldn't move the people in the court.

"Go." Wang Meng knew that Wang Qing didn't react to Zhang Da's arrest.Still enjoying myself.

In the room, the five or six girls next to Wang Qing are all the best girls in the Wanhualou, and the Wanhualou is his, so it is only natural for him to enjoy it.

Recently, he has also been irritable. After all, the court has begun to investigate the affairs of Sili's arsenal, but he didn't realize the actions of the court. It has been so long, and he thought that the court had ignored this matter.

There was a sound from outside, and when he wanted people to go out to have a look, a group of people came in with knives and grabbed Wang Qing who was lying on the bed.
