Qin Mo took the broken blade, looked carefully, nodded and said, "This knife is indeed made by the Qin family. Sir, is there any problem with this knife?"

You Zhen said: "There is nothing wrong with this knife. I just want you to check it out if you can find out who the half-cut blade was finally handed over to."

Qin Mo smiled and said, "Sir, you're not kidding. My Qin family can forge a lot of weapons in one day. There are indeed records of where the weapons go. However, with just half of the blade, it's hard to know where the sword went."

You Zhen said seriously: "Qin Dangjia, I didn't joke with you. Don't underestimate this half blade, but the relationship is very important, and you have noticed that this knife is not an ordinary sword."

After You Zhen said this, Qin Mo realized that the matter was of great importance. He picked up the half-cut blade in his hand again, looked at it for a while, and then said, "Come on, let Qin Ruyun come in!"

Soon, Qin Ruyun walked in. He was now sixty years old. He was originally a senior caster from the Qin family. Now he is old and mainly directs those young casters.

Walking to Qin Mo, Qin Ruyun said, "What are the instructions for the head of the family?"

Qin Mo handed over the half-cut blade and said, "Look!"

Qin Ruyun took the broken blade, looked carefully, and said, "This half-broken blade is indeed forged by us here, and looking at the shape of the knife, it should be a product outside the pass."

Qin Mo nodded and said, "So is there a way to find out when this knife was cast?"

Qin Ruyun thought for a while and said, "I remember that the last time I was ordered to make this kind of knives was several years ago, and it was the last batch. Judging from the quality of the knives in front of me, it should be from several years ago. If I surpassed them carefully, I might be able to find out when this happened."

Qin Mo looked at You Zhen and asked, "Sir, what do you think?"

You Zhen said: "I not only need to know what this weapon is produced, but also need to know where the weapon was delivered!"

"this?"

Qin Ruyun showed a hint of embarrassment on his face.

Qin Mo said: "Just answer truthfully?"

Qin Ruyun said: "Sir, after the last batch of swords were created, they were handed over to the people of Urianha. Only the last sword was rewarded to whom the last sword was given. However, unlike other swords, this sword cannot be used in the Baosteel method and is forged by the Baosteel method. This weapon will not be rewarded to ordinary soldiers. In other words, those who possess this sword should be more prestigious in Wurianha."

“That’s the way!”

You Zhen nodded thoughtfully and said, "Okay, Qin Dangjia, you have to investigate this matter carefully. If there is any news, please send someone to notify me immediately. In addition, please keep this matter secret. Except for the person you are in today, do not disclose it to others!"

Qin Mo said: "Please rest assured that the people will not disclose a single sentence of the matter today."

You Zhen nodded, stood up and said goodbye, leaving with his men.

After they left, Qin Ruyun asked: "The head of the family, the Jinyiwei came to ask about the matter of the half-cut blade. What exactly happened? Is it related to the half-cut blade?"

Qin Mo was at a loss at this moment, sighed and said, "I don't know about this, I just don't know what big thing will involve our Qin family?"

The longer he deals with the government, Qin Mo finds that he becomes more and more timid, especially the Jinyiwei. Once they are targeted by them, even if the Qin family is, what about the family? In the end, it is possible that his family will be destroyed?

Especially since these swords were sent to Urianha, I don’t know what happened there, but even the Jinyiwei took action and mobilized all the troops.

The atmosphere in the room became a little solemn. After a while, Qin Mo said: "What do you see from this knife?"

Qin Ruyun picked it up and looked carefully again, saying, "The person who got this knife should be a general, and it can be seen that it is used very frequently on weekdays, so the knife wears a bit severe. In addition, the break is not new, and it has been used for a long time, resulting in cracks inside, but the owner of the knife does not know, which leads to the breaking of the blade when chopping."

Qin Mo said: "That means, what clues might this half-cut blade be?"

Qin Ruyun said: "The head of the family, I feel a little confused about something."

Qin Mo said: "Come and listen."

Qin Ruyun said: "The head of the family, if this sword is correct, it would have been sent to Urianha. Then the master of the sword should be a man of Meng, but why did this half-cut blade appear in the hands of the Jinyiwei? Isn't it said that something happened to Urianha? The Jinyiwei also intervened, so we asked us to investigate the origin of the master of the sword?"

Qin Mo thought about it carefully, as if the same was true. He stood up and walked back and forth in the house, and said, "You can check immediately when the last batch of weapons handed over to Urianha were cast. Remember to check it out clearly. As long as we built it according to the requirements of the court, even if the person with this knife killed the officials of the Ming Dynasty, it has nothing to do with us."

The casting of a knife is in accordance with the requirements of the court. There is no doubt that the Qin family is just acting on orders. Now that the owner of the knife kills someone, it is impossible to blame the Qin family.

Qin Ruyun nodded and hurriedly walked down.

The Qin family is indeed numerous and there are tens of thousands of weapons cast for the court every year. However, these weapons can be made according to the Ming Dynasty's standard weapons. Without the orders of the court, foreigners would not be mentioned to build weapons. Therefore, the number of weapons created for Wulihan is only a handful!

After receiving Qin Mo's order, Qin Ruyun immediately signed a note and checked it carefully. Fortunately, the Qin family managed weapons at night. For whom each batch of weapons came from and who was cast by the person who was responsible for the burden, they were all registered. The names of the casters were engraved on the knife, and the positions of the carvings were relatively uniform, that is, on the forehead of the knife.

This has always been the rule of the Qin family. This is also to ensure quality, prevent people from cutting corners and handing over unqualified knives, which will eventually ruin the reputation of the Qin family.

However, the knife in front of me is only the first half, and there is no seal name on it, so it is impossible to determine who this knife was created by someone.

It doesn't matter if I can't make sure it's okay. Fortunately, I quickly realized that the knife was sent to Urianha four years ago, and its purpose was somewhat unexpected, that was the dowry.

Four years ago, Concubine Su married Wurianha as a princess of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the Qin family was responsible for making batches of weapons to you. After all, for Wurianha, weapons are also very good gifts.

There are not many weapons in this batch, only about twenty, but as a gift, this quality is top-notch. No knife is made by craftsmen with all their strength. It is completely different from those weapons on weekdays. Moreover, the scabbards of the sword are hardly inlaid with gems and the like. Not only is the knife perfectly made, but even the decoration looks extraordinary.

This information was quickly sent to You Zhen. When You Zhen saw the information in his hand, You Zhen's face darkened. Since the knife was used as a gift, it would naturally be delivered to Halm in the end, or to Boge. Such a precious knife would largely use the knife as a reward to those with military achievements. In other words, the murderer is likely to be those who have outstanding military achievements.

After obtaining this information, You Zhen did not hesitate at all. On the one hand, he immediately sent the information back to the court. On the other hand, the intelligence sent people back to Hongluo Mountain. On the same day, he received an order and immediately went to Hongluo Mountain to investigate the matter thoroughly. After all, the Wugang official position in Hongluo Mountain is too small, so the Jinyiwei did not think that he could afford the matter. Since Zhao Yuan did not let Wugang reveal his whereabouts, the Jinyiwei did not know that Zhao Yuan was in Hongluo Mountain.

After receiving the news, You Zhen immediately set out for Hongluo Mountain!

The news was quickly sent back to the court.

The court that received the news was completely described as furious. The dignified Ming envoy represented the court. Now he died in Hongluo Mountain and under Bo Ge's nose. This was simply a contempt for the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty.

Regarding this, the officials in the court now had a rare unification of opinions and even agreed to send troops. Even Emperor Jiajing appeared on time when he rarely went to court!

Although the court is now somewhat short of military and horses in the war due to the problem of Japanese pirates along the coast, and it is somewhat difficult for the court to deal with two wars at the same time, no matter how difficult it is, it cannot be said that it will give up. Then, it will be sent to condemn it in the early stage and then give up. What is the majesty of the court in this way?

As for whether to fight or not, it is another matter, but now we must put our posture out, which is a matter of concern for the face of the court.

So the emperor handed over the matter to the cabinet. The court immediately prepared to mobilize troops.

It was not that simple to issue imperial edicts in the Ming Dynasty, and it was not just the emperor who gave it. To be precise, issuing imperial edicts is a matter of the cabinet. Generally, there are imperial edicts drawn by the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, and the emperor added seals. It is rare to encounter any direct imperial edicts.

So the matter of issuing the imperial edict was handed over to Yan Song.

After the morning court, Yan Song walked to Lu Bing very rarely. In front of Lu Bing, a person of such a status, he still seemed respectful and said: "Master Lu, I wonder if this news is accurate?"

Lu Bing's face suddenly sank and he said, "What does Lord Yan mean? Could it be that what I, the Jinyiwei, brought back fake news?"

Lu Bingke doesn't like Yan Song now.

Yan Song used himself to kill Xia Yan, and Lu Bing had always been resentful about this, so he tried to avoid Yan Song and Lu Bing, but now he has just left the court and the civil and military officials in the court. If he ignores him, he will also wipe out others' face, so he waits for him to speak patiently, but as soon as he opens his mouth, he asks this, which makes Lu Bing somewhat unhappy.

Yan Song hurriedly said, "Mr. Lu misunderstood. What I mean is that there will be any hidden information in this?"

Lu Bing snorted coldly and said, "The hidden truth? Lord Yan wants to know the hidden truth, so Lord Yan directly sent someone to ask Bo Ge, and ask him why he killed the envoy of our court? Humph..."

As he said that, he swayed his sleeves and ignored Yan Song.

"Mr. Lu!"

Yan Song called again, and seeing that Lu Bing ignored him, his face suddenly darkened.

The unhappiness with Lu Bing did not affect Yan Song's helping the emperor to make a saint. After all, his purpose was to ensure his official position. As for whether the court sent troops or not, it was the court's business. So soon, the imperial edict was delivered to the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War directly sent the imperial edict to Datong. Then, all parties began to mobilize troops.

However, it is not easy to mobilize troops at this time and it takes a long time. Like the Ming Dynasty, although their intelligence snares are not as wide as the Ming Dynasty, some important military towns are still being watched. If they want to fight, the Ming Dynasty's soldiers will definitely have great actions. Therefore, once the Ming Dynasty's soldiers and horses move, the intelligence will be sent back.

Here in Hongluo Mountain, Wugang and others are now trying their best to repair the damaged knife. The information about the knife has not been sent to the court, and now there is only one.

If the knife is sharp and strong, the blade body must be a whole. A small part of the front of the knife has been lost, so the best way is to knock the blade body thinner, which is also the best solution.

Five days later, the guest came as if he met.

After entering the room, he sat on the stool and asked, "Has the knife been repaired?"

Wugang took out the knife from the house, held it and placed it on the table, and said, "Please see!"

He stretched out his hand, held it on the hilt of the knife, weighed it slightly, frowned, and said, "Lighter than the original one?"

Wugang said: "Yes, the missing half of the knife was not given to us. In addition, the iron used in this knife is somewhat different from the iron used by us. If we rashly connect the piece, it is very likely to be disconnected from the interface again. Therefore, after discussing, we thought that to ensure the toughness of the knife, we could only find a way to ensure the original knife. While ensuring the length of the blade, the blade became thinner and longer. As for its toughness, it was not affected at all. After all, the materials for this knife are carefully selected, and this knife was originally made by the people. To be ashamed, when we got this knife, we did not dare to start rashly, for fear that the knife would not be completed, and the knife would have other damage."

He nodded, inserted the knife into the scabbard, then took out a small cloth bag, threw it on the table, and said, "I'm rewarded for you!"

Wugang reached out and picked up the cloth bag on the table, opened it and said in surprise: "Customer, have you given too much?"

The man said: "I haven't said before that as long as this knife is repaired, silver will not be a problem!"

Wugang nodded and smiled, "Then, please walk slowly, guest."
