Chapter 517
I don't know who spread the news of Ye Xun's return to the capital. After breakfast, there was an endless stream of visitors.

Ye Xun didn't plan to meet anyone today, and after ordering the housekeeper to be in charge of reception, he went out through the back door.

The new year will be a few days away, and there are a few important things that must be implemented. The first is the title of the crown prince. Although the empress only has such a son, it seems that the position of the son is unshakable, but after all, it has not yet been written.

There is also the matter of Wei Guogong repeatedly harming Ye Xun. Ye Xun didn't want to leave any excuses for others, so he must first communicate with the cabinet about this matter.

The other thing is about Huang Taiji's occupation of North Korea. Some things can be done in private, but they must not be put on the table, otherwise it will damage Ming Dynasty's reputation.

Ye Xun may not care about prestige, but the civil servants who are deeply poisoned by Confucianism cannot.

For the stability of the government, Ye Xun couldn't do it on his own for such a major event.

Just as Ye Xun went to the cabinet, Sun Dong hurried back to Shenyang.

In fact, there are still a lot of finishing touches in Shuzhong, but Sun Dong has to go back to Liaodong.

When the brothers of the Leng family handed over the album to Sun Dong, cold sweat broke out instantly on Sun Dong's body.

Ye Xun didn't let the Leng family brothers pass on any words, but Sun Dong would rather let Ye Xun scold him, because he might feel better that way.

In order to keep it secret, Ye Xun once specifically ordered to set up a spy camp in the arsenal, and Sun Dong followed suit, but even so, if such a thing happens, it means that something is wrong with his subordinates, and this may just be the tip of the iceberg .

Under such circumstances, how could Sun Dong not be in a hurry, simply explained the matter at hand, and then rushed back to Shenyang without stopping.

Yuan Mingliang, the commander of the Defense Battalion of the Arsenal, was one of the earliest subordinates to follow Sun Dong, and he had always been trusted by Sun Dong. Sun Dong really didn't want to believe that something went wrong with him.

Sun Dong came back secretly, and he didn't arrest anyone at the first time, because he knew that if he wanted to completely remove the cancer in the arsenal, he must not startle the enemy.

He first ordered his subordinates to find a person. This person is called Yang Laoxiao, a simple and honest man. He is Han Ping's servant and is in charge of Han's garden and flowers. It is a very humble job, but no one knows. They are all under the Sun Dong faction under Han Ping's family.

The gardener has no access to any secrets, but he can know who is in and out of the Han family, and this alone is enough for Sun Dong to play.

The New Year is coming soon, and the city of Shenyang is full of pre-holiday celebrations.

In the backyard of a small inn, there was a lot of people in the front yard, but the backyard was quiet. A few well-dressed men guarded the gate vigilantly, and Sun Dong was talking to Mr. Yang in the room.

"According to what you said, Mr. Han has rarely returned to his residence recently, so have you found out who other than Mrs. Ru is in his other courtyard?"

"Reporting to my lord, the villain was sent there a few times, but it was cold and there was no work, so the villain couldn't stay for long, so I didn't find anything special. The villain thinks Mrs. Han's Mrs. Ru is very strange. He is active and often goes out, and every time he comes back, he will bring a lot of gifts, and I don’t know who sent them.”

"His wife?"

Sun Dong frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "Go back and find Mrs. Han immediately, what should I say, don't I hand it over to you?"

Mr. Yang hurriedly said: "My lord, don't worry, I know what to do."

After finishing speaking, he saluted Sun Dong respectfully, then turned around and left quickly.

Secret agents like Mr. Yang have always been in contact with Sun Dong through a single line, and the other commanders of the Weiziying do not know about it.

The reason why Sun Dong started with Han Ping was because he believed that it was impossible for Yuan Liang alone to steal the weapon blueprints from the arsenal.

As for Han Ping, the patriarch of Ye Xun when he started his family, Sun Dong would not have dared to arrest him if there was no conclusive evidence.

What kind of leader uses what kind of subordinates, and the sword is slanted, which is also Sun Dong's method.

Sun Dong didn't know that Han Ping was already terrified at this moment, and there was no news from the subordinates sent to sell the blueprints.

Now Han Ping hoped that several people had fled privately with money, at least that way he would not be exposed.

Just like what Ye Xun thought, as other colleagues in Liaodong who worked hard with Ye Xun were promoted one after another, Han Ping, who has always been dealing with weapons, gradually changed his psychology.

Since you can't get promoted, let's get more money!Otherwise, wouldn't you treat yourself too badly?
Han Ping was well aware of the value of those blueprints in the arsenal, and also knew that Ye Xun would definitely not spare him once the matter was revealed, so he was smart enough to contact the buyers in Jiangnan, thinking that as long as he didn't sell the blueprints to the Jurchens, he would be fine.

As the Jurchens were driven away, Liaodong became more and more stable under Sun Chengzong's governance, and many Liaodong soldiers became paralyzed in their thinking, thinking that it was time to enjoy it.

Yuan Liang was one of them, otherwise Han Ping would not have dragged him into trouble so easily.

In Han Ping's other courtyard, Mrs. Ru was begging Han Ping coquettishly, but Han Ping was in the mood to do that at the moment, and before he could get rid of Mrs. Ru's entanglement, suddenly someone came to report that Commander Yuan had something urgent to see.

Yuan Liang's arrival relieved Han Ping's siege, and hurriedly pushed away the little girl wrapped around him and walked out quickly.

It's just that Han Ping didn't notice that when her charming Mrs. Ru looked at Han Ping's back, her eyes were as cold as ice.

After entering Han Ping's study, Yuan Liang couldn't wait to say: "I just received the news that three people from the arsenal were killed in Kaifeng. The most terrible thing is that Eunuch Ye happened to pass by there."

"What did you say?"

Before Yuan Liang's words fell, Han Ping jumped up in shock, and continued tremblingly: "Ye, Eunuch Ye also knows?"

Yuan Liang nodded solemnly, and said: "With Ye Gonggong's ability, I can definitely guess that something is wrong with you, we must be prepared."

Han Ping was about to pee out of fear, and tremblingly said: "Sure, what are you going to do? Don't, don't say it's Eunuch Ye, it's Commander Sun, we're afraid we won't be able to explain it!"

Yuan Liang followed Sun Dong all the way here, he knew Sun Dong's means well, and thinking about Sun Dong's horror, he couldn't help but shudder.

"At this point, we must find a substitute for the dead ghost. You find one, and I will find one among my subordinates, so that we can pick you and me out."

Yuan Liang looked at Han Ping with a gloomy face and said, in fact, he really wanted to kill Han Ping, so that there was no proof, but many people knew that he came to Han Ping, and it was obviously too late to do so now.

Han Ping also understood something from Yuan Liang's eyes, leaned back subconsciously, and blurted out: "Brother Yuan must consider the consequences when doing things, and you and I are not the only ones who know about this matter."

Yuan Liang immediately realized that he had lost his composure. He frowned and was about to speak when there was a sudden commotion outside the courtyard, followed by a loud bang from the gate, as if the gate had been kicked down.

The two had a guilty conscience, looked at each other, and subconsciously wanted to escape
