Each mule cart is filled with various items, including silk cloth, spices, and even small handfuls made of bamboo and wood. It looks very common and is also a common thing for ordinary caravans to transport and sell.

But if you really want to find a problem, there are still some. For example, those silk cloths are particularly strange among the goods transported out of Tokyo City, because there is no county in the world that can sell higher cloth prices than in Bianjing. How can any merchant do such a loss-making transaction?

Of course, this alone is far from enough to make Sun Tu do such a big thing. He led his soldiers to gallop in the city, and intercepted people with great fanfare, searching for caravans that had already left the city. As long as the Gu family investigated it, it would be enough for him to drink a pot. What's more, he offended the officials of the Censorate and his brothers under his command, and this matter would be even more impossible to be good - as long as he failed to find any decent clues of evidence of crime.

At this moment, a subordinate carefully moved the goods from one of the mule carts and saw in surprise that there was a mezzanine below. This made him scream in surprise. While speaking, he even pried hard on the mezzanine cover. After a click, the things on the lower layer were completely revealed - they were blocks wrapped in oil paper, which looked like bricks, but had a pungent smell. He was so familiar with these people who had just come down from the battlefield: "It's the medicine for injury..."

After hearing this, Sun Tu's eyebrows and eyes suddenly raised, and the boss Li in front of him was even more shocked. Without any hesitation, he suddenly showed up and rushed forward with a quick step. Now that the secret has been leaked, I can only escape first.

But his movements were just around the corner, and a figure was already blocking the road ahead at a faster speed than him. Before he could change the next step, a black shadow swept across with a whimpering whistle and hit his chest with a thumping thunder. It was not until this time that he could see clearly that the imperial guard general was blocking his way. The knife on his waist was already in his hand, but it was not unsheathed. If it was really unsheathed, he would probably have been slashed twice by this knife.

Even the unsheathed sword was still powerful, which made him break his ribs and fall heavily to the ground with an unbalanced body. Then several spears were coming, directly pressing against his throat and chest, making him no longer dare to move. This time, it also calmed everyone inside and outside the city gate, including the city censor who was still aggressive just now!

Although Jiang Heng, as the censor, was not familiar with military affairs, he was still very clear about some common sense. For example, although the wounded medicine can be bought in various clinics and pharmacies, the Song Dynasty court actually had control and the people could not buy and sell it in large quantities without privately. Because this thing is also an important strategic material. No matter which country's soldiers are injured, they need to be treated with the wounded medicine. As the most developed country in all aspects, the wounded medicine is naturally the best, and the court is even more unlikely to let it flow out to enemy countries such as Liaoxia.

Now, twenty or thirty kilograms of injured medicine were found in the mezzanine of this mule cart alone, and the suspect, as the owner, was guilty and wanted to escape. Doesn’t this mean that there is a big problem? This made Jiang Heng very regretful. If he had known that such a result would have happened, he would not have come forward before, and now he would have taken all of himself in.

For a moment, Jiang Heng even thought of leaving, but as his steps moved slightly, Sun Tu's voice had already come: "This censor, please give us a testimony. In addition, what's the point of trying to obstruct us from investigating the case?"

The problems have been found out. How dare Jiang Heng dare to be as arrogant as before? He immediately changed his face and said with a smile: "Mr. Yue is indeed a good method, and the officials admire him. He was just a misunderstanding before. Now it seems that you are doing the right thing. There is indeed a lot of work here. Not only this car, but other cars must also contain many prohibited things. If Mar. Yue really wants to be a witness, the officials will definitely not refuse!"

In just a moment, he had already woken up. At this time, he could only work hard to make friends with Sun Tu and cooperate with him to ensure his own safety, at least he would not be charged with accomplice by him. He could be an official in Tokyo for several years, even if he was young, even if he always praised himself as an honest censor, that was extremely slick and smart.

Sun Tu smiled at him, nodded again, and then said, "Continue to search, check every car carefully for me, don't miss it!"

At this time, the sun was already westward and the light was dimming. However, more and more people were gathering at the gate of the city. Although everyone did not dare to look closer, they still looked at the distance with curiosity, and were talking about it. This was related to the famous Gu family business, and the imperial guards found such things that were strictly forbidden to be sold. Next, there must be a lot of fun.

The real fun was still behind. After dismantling several cars but only finding the same wounded medicine, suddenly, in front of a car with only half a car silk, a soldier who opened the mezzanine exclaimed loudly: "General, this is a crossbow..."

As soon as this said, everyone felt their hearts beating. Even Sun Tu's face changed. He hurried over in two steps. After exploring his hand, he picked up a crossbow machine with exquisite workmanship and several feet long. His eyes flashed and he looked at Boss Li who was controlled again. Today's situation was really too unexpected. He thought it was just ordinary smuggling, but now it seems that things are much more serious than what he did!

The screams around him were even more heard, and many people were so scared that they turned around and didn't dare to watch the fun anymore, because this matter was too big and they could not watch.

With the discovery of the crossbow, the matter was indeed extremely serious. This was no longer smuggling, but collusion with the enemy. Because only the enemy could set their minds on the most proud crossbow of the Song Dynasty!

In the century of the Song Dynasty, the promotion of literature and military affairs led to the lack of military development, and even fewer famous generals. But even so, over the years, when facing the rising powerful enemies such as Liao and Xia, the Song Dynasty did not suffer much loss in many wars, but why?

In addition to sufficient money and food, and the many pass cities that have been built for many years, the more important thing is that the Song Dynasty continuously developed and studied long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows, and quickly used them in wars. It can be said that in today's world, the most advanced thing in innovation in crossbows is the Song Dynasty and the Song Dynasty's bows and crossbows are the most powerful weapons on the battlefield, just like the new research of some powerful countries in later generations that have created some powerful missiles or aircraft.

For this reason, the Song Dynasty gathered all the skilled craftsmen in the world for many years and set up a crossbow courtyard in Tokyo to continuously improve the research and development of powerful crossbows. At the same time, in order to compete with the Song people on this, Liaoxia sent secret spies to the Song State many times, trying to steal crossbows by various means in order to imitate or take countermeasures.

Over the past few decades, the Three Kingdoms have fought openly and secretly for this, and the thrillingness of the Imperial City Department has made a lot of efforts in this competition, and many warriors have died because of this... Not only Sun Tu knows about these things, but also ordinary people have heard of many of them.

Now, the powerful weapon of the enemy that belonged to the Song Dynasty was actually sent out of Tokyo in such a grand manner. This had a great impact on everyone, and even Sun Tu's face became extremely serious. Bows and crossbows, especially crossbows, were banned from the public, let alone transactions. Now, the Gu Family Trading Company is so bold that it transports many bows and crossbows. The matter involves so widespread that even he is shocked.

First of all, where did the things come from? Is it the army, the crossbow courtyard, or other yamen?

Secondly, who is so bold that he dares to sell such important things? And who is Boss Li who dares to do this?

Again, how much involvement does the Gu Family Store involve this matter? Is it his backer who has to do it, so they have to do it? Or do they don’t know the truth, and just treat it as a transportation transaction of some injured medicine?

Finally, even though they were just food, why did they become these more sensitive things? Where did the things go? How many prohibited items have they transported to other places before?

...There were too many questions coming, which made Sun Tu feel dizzy. But soon, he calmed down again, which was the best result for him. Isn't he afraid that things will not go big now? Is there any more gains than discovering these crossbows? At this moment, I am afraid that Cai Jing can no longer cover up this matter. After all, the matter is too big and there are too many insiders, so he can't really cover up the truth.

As Sun Tu thought, the search of his soldiers continued. With the continuous bangs, the mule cart mezzanine was opened one by one, revealing the things hidden inside. Five of them had bows and crossbows hidden in them. Together, there were more than a hundred pieces, which made people frightened.

Jiang Heng was completely stunned. How dare he, a small seventh-rank censor, be involved in this matter, but it was even more difficult to leave at this time.
