Chapter 425: The Mystery of the Arsenal

Qi Zhangwu's decision to let Han Zheng take charge of Jing'an Guard has caused dissatisfaction among many high-level officials of the Demon-Slaying Division.

Among the high-level officials of the Demon-Slaying Division present, only He Tianxiong has a grudge against Han Zheng. The others even heard Han Zheng's name for the first time.

They are dissatisfied, just simply feel that Qi Zhangwu has broken the rules.

Which of these high-level officials of the Demon-Slaying Division has not experienced layers of experience, made countless meritorious deeds, and gone through life and death to sit in this position today?

As a result, a young Xuanjia Guard who just came to the capital from Shannan Road has no qualifications and no strength. Why should he be in the same meeting hall with them?

It's strange that these people can feel the balance.

"Grand Admiral, even if the Thirteen Guards are short of people, you can't just stuff anyone in there, right?"

"That's right. My Demon-Slaying Division has strict promotions. Even if there are exceptions, it's because the other party has made outstanding contributions. Has Han Zheng made any amazing contributions?"

"Please think about it, Grand Admiral. This loophole must not be opened."

Qi Zhangwu said nothing, but whoever spoke, he would stare at that person until the other person felt uncomfortable and dared not speak again.

After a while, the entire meeting hall was silent.

Qi Zhangwu looked around and said calmly, "First of all, you have to understand one thing. I let Han Zheng take charge of the Jing'an Guard not to ask for your opinion, but just to inform you."

Everyone present changed their faces slightly, but even the most dissatisfied He Tianxiong did not dare to refute anything.

They still remembered Qi Zhangwu's power when he cleaned up the Demon-Slaying Division.

Even though Qi Zhangwu has been keeping a low profile due to his injury over the years, the ruthlessness of this Grand Commander is engraved in his bones.

"Also, I have told you about the case of the arsenal for several days, but no one wants to take it over, saying that they are busy.

You can be busy, but even if I am the Grand Commander, I can't force you to investigate the case.

Why, I finally found a young and brave man to take over the case, but you still object.

You can do it, why don't you do it?"

Except for He Tianxiong, the faces of the other five commanders changed.

They knew about this case, and they deliberately didn't take it.

It's about the imperial arsenal, and it might cause some trouble. Once the case is investigated, it might even implicate them.

Although the Demon-Slaying Division should theoretically remain independent, their high-ranking commanders and even other high-ranking officials of the Demon-Slaying Division will always have some connection with some big figures in the imperial court.

If they are really investigated, should they investigate or not?

It is easy to get into trouble if you investigate, and you will be implicated if you don't investigate.

So they have always avoided this kind of case, and they would avoid it if they could.

Now the Grand Admiral actually wants Han Zheng to investigate such a difficult case. I don't know whether this kid is lucky or unlucky.

If this is the case, they seem to have no reason to object.

"Grand Admiral, please understand. We really don't have the time and manpower to investigate the arsenal case. Since the Grand Admiral has a keen eye for talent and is going to let Han Zheng investigate, we certainly won't object."

"The Grand Admiral is not restricted to recruiting talents. Although Han Zheng is young, he must be an extraordinary person to be valued by the Grand Admiral."

Everyone changed their tone, and not even one person objected.

He Tianxiong also sat down with a gloomy face and stopped talking.

A group of guys who only know how to change their attitude according to the situation!

Qi Zhangwu waved his hand and said, "Go and give the badge of the Thirteen Guards to Han Zheng. The case of the armory will be officially handed over to Han Zheng for inquiry."

This time, no one dared to talk nonsense, and the meeting ended in this weird atmosphere.

Because Han Zheng was promoted to the chief steward of the Thirteen Guards, someone sent him a pair of black gold swallowing lion armor in advance yesterday.

However, this pair of black gold swallowing lion armor is different from the black gold swallowing lion armor of the normal garrison commander. The eyes of the lion head on the chest are inlaid with two rubies, which sets off the lion head with a more lifelike and fierce temperament.

Some of the chief stewards of the Thirteen Guards are in the half-step Yang God realm, so the Demon-Slaying Division specially made this special black gold swallowing lion armor to distinguish them.

This made Han Zheng sigh that the people in the headquarters are still good at playing, and the face-saving project is really good.

And the treatment of the Beijing Demon-Slaying Division is also quite good.

Han Zheng was directly assigned a three-entry, three-exit house, and the logistics staff delivered all kinds of training materials, early salary, gold and silver, and even all kinds of daily necessities.

The person who came even told Han Zheng that if Han Zheng needed some maids and servants, although the logistics side did not allow it in name, as long as Han Zheng registered the bought servants and maids and verified their identities after the Demon Slayer Division.

Now Han Zheng understood why the people of the local Demon Slayer Division were trying their best to enter the Demon Slayer Division in the capital. The treatment was indeed different.

At this time, the door of the house was knocked. Han Zheng pushed the door open and saw that it was Chu Xinghe who came, and the five young Demon Slayers who followed Han Zheng to train in Shannan Road.

"Brother Han, no, I should call you Lord Han now.

Lord Fang told me that we will join the Jing'an Guard and listen to your command in the future."

The other five young Demon Slayers also smiled and bowed, saying, "Meet Lord Han!"

When they were in Shannan Road, they followed Han Zheng to wipe out the Bai family. They had seen Han Zheng's sharp and decisive way of doing things, which was completely different from the way he worked under the inspector. He was very impressive.

So when they learned that Chu Xinghe was going to work under Han Zheng, they all asked Fang Henge to transfer to work under Han Zheng.

Although their family backgrounds could not be compared with Chu Xinghe, they were all aristocratic families inherited from the Demon Slayer Division, and their ancestors had all been high-ranking officials in the Demon Slayer Division, which could be considered as a good family.

They were trained under the inspector and under Han Zheng, so Fang Henge did not keep them and simply gave them all to Han Zheng.

"We are all acquaintances, so don't be polite."

Han Zheng bowed in return, and he was not opposed to taking these Demon Slayers who were not very experienced in the martial arts world.

He did not have his own team in the Demon Slayer Division in the capital, so it was actually a bit inconvenient to do things.

Although Chu Xinghe and others do not have much experience in the martial arts world, and even have a bit of the meaning of flowers in a greenhouse, they are better because they are born with good family backgrounds and have pure natures, and have not been infected with some bad habits of the Beijing Demon-Slaying Division.

"Sir Han, this is the waist badge given to you by the Grand Commander, and the file of the arsenal case.

The Grand Commander said that you have just arrived in the capital, and although this case is urgent, he will not give you a time limit for solving it.

But the longer this kind of case is delayed, the more difficult it is to handle, so it is best to find out as soon as possible."

Han Zheng took the waist badge and saw that in addition to the three big characters of the Demon-Slaying Division, there were also three small gilded characters of the Jing'an Guard inlaid below.

Taking the file, there were actually only two thin pages of paper. Han Zheng finished reading it in a few seconds, but he frowned slightly.

No wonder He Tianxiong and the other six commanders did not take this case. It was indeed a bit tricky.

Three days ago, when Han Zheng was still in seclusion, the arsenal where the weapons of the Great Zhou were stored caught fire, but the scale was not too large and was put out in time.

Originally, this was just a small matter, but among those who came to put out the fire, there were not only the guards of the armory itself, but also soldiers patrolling the city and even people from the Demon-Slaying Department.

They entered the armory and found that the weapons and armor that should have been piled up like a mountain were now only a thin layer on the outside, and the inside was actually hollowed out.

The people from the Demon-Slaying Department were about to ask Tan Fang, the doctor of the Armory Department who was in charge of the armory, but they found that Tan Fang committed suicide at home and left a suicide note.

The suicide note said that his parents were threatened by the Wenxiang Sect, and he secretly gave the weapons in the armory to the Wenxiang Sect in order to save his parents' lives.

He did such an unfaithful and unjust act for the sake of filial piety, and felt ashamed of the court's training and appreciation. He was speechless to face his emperor, father and teacher, so he hanged himself directly.
