Chapter 324: Take the initiative to take care of things
The fat brother is innocent, but the one who carries the black cauldron, everyone is innocent, otherwise it would not be a black cauldron.
"I have already handed over the gunpowder to Lao Zhou, I didn't hide it..."Although the fat brother is honest, he also knows the severity of losing the gunpowder, and resolutely refuses to admit it.
"Nonsense... What you gave me is this bag of loess. ”
Lao Zhou knows better that this matter must not be taken over, only to push it on the fat brother desperately, as long as the fat brother admits it, his sin will be much lighter.
"Who told you not to check last night, and now it's on my head, it's really good to be rewarded. ”
The fat brother is worthy of being an honest man, and at this time, he finally knows that kindness is not rewarded.
But his words set himself up tightly, and it was too late to even deny it.
"He himself said I didn't check it, you hear me. Lao Zhou finally grabbed the handle and hurriedly said: "I admit dereliction of duty, I shouldn't be lazy, I am willing to be punished." ”
Compared with the crime of stealing gunpowder, dereliction of duty is nothing at all, it is nothing more than a fine of money, no matter how strict it is, and losing your job, it is better than losing your life.
Lao Zhou avoided the heavy and light, and grabbed the fat brother's pigtails tightly, and for a while, the fat brother was speechless.
"Twenty-eighty-six, what else do you have to say?"
What the foreman is most concerned about at the moment is not to track down the whereabouts of the gunpowder, but who is willing to carry this black cauldron.
He sympathized with the fat brother in his heart, and actually took the initiative to say that Lao Zhou did not check it, which was really stupid enough, which proved that the fat brother did not steal gunpowder.
However, only when the fat brother confesses his guilt is the best result.
"I don't have ...... Yes, I have witnesses. ”
The fat brother seemed to remember something, and continued to defend: "When I came back yesterday, 163 and 177 were with me, and they could testify that what I got back was gunpowder." ”
"Oh, one, sixteen, three, one, seven, what's the matter?" the foreman didn't expect that when the fat brother was out of words, he would find two witnesses.
was ready to close the coffin, but there were branches, although he was very angry in his heart, but the formality still had to go.
"Report to my lord, I am indeed ......" Yichen looked at it, and 163 was a young man who reminded himself to sleep on his side.
"Little kids, don't interject..."
Before he finished his words, the one seven seven next to him, that is, the middle-aged man who scolded him last night, pushed him away and stepped forward by himself.
looked at the fat brother who was sweating profusely, then turned his face and said to the foreman: "We went with him, but he went to the hut halfway, so I can't prove it." ”
177 is really sophisticated, first put himself aside, so as not to be implicated, as for whether the fat brother is innocent, he has no obligation.
And he vaguely felt that this was the result that the foreman wanted.
"177, what kind of thatched house do I go to, isn't it just squatting on the open space on the side of the road to, you two specially stopped and waited for me. ”
One hundred and seventy-seven pushed it clean, and the fat brother was in a hurry, he blushed and tried to defend himself:
"I put the gunpowder bag on the ground, and you two are still chatting with me, and you can see it clearly, why don't you prove it?"
"It stinks for a while, we all turned around and naturally couldn't see it, although I believe in you, but it's a big deal, I'm telling the truth. ”
177 seemed to sympathize with the fat brother, and specially pleaded with the foreman: "My lord, 286 has always been very responsible and willing to help others, this matter is not like he did it." ”
"I also believe that the fat brother will not do such a thing. ”
177's words resonated, and 284, that is, Xiaofei, also echoed it.
"286 is an honest man, he didn't do it. ”
"Yes, I also believe in the ...... of 286"
Fat brother's popularity is good, and many workers are willing to choose to believe him.
Seeing that the shape was getting more and more complicated, the foreman shouted angrily: "One-seven-seven, two-eighty-four, could it be that you two did it?"
Something has happened, even if the fat brother carries the black pot, as long as the gunpowder can't be recovered, the foreman will be punished, but if no one admits it, when the accounts are checked at the end of the month, it will be a big trouble.
The lesser of two evils, the fat brother is guilty, Lao Zhou is relieved of most of the responsibility, and the foreman hopes to pass Guò Lao Zhou and beg Ding Yuqiang to help intercede, and he still has the opportunity to retain his position.
He didn't want others to stir up, so he made threats.
"It has nothing to do with them, and I don't do it. No matter what others say, the only thing that Fat Brother insists on is his innocence.
Although he is honest and easy to talk to, and he will not be angry when he is bullied occasionally, but the fat brother is not stupid, and he can't afford this responsibility at all if he loses fifteen catties of gunpowder.
"Twenty-eighty-six, as long as you tell me where the gunpowder is, or who it has given it to, I will guarantee that you will be fine. ”
The fat brother's insistence made the foreman a little tricky, so he spoke out to induce.
"I'll give it to Lao Zhou, I don't know anything else. "No matter how the foreman 'persuades', the fat brother is stubborn and bites to death, and this matter has nothing to do with him.
Once the mouth is loosened, it will fall into a place of no return, and at that time, how can the foreman be saved.
As long as you grit your teeth and persevere, it's a big deal to let the General's Mansion send someone to investigate, maybe you can clear up your grievances.
"Since you are stubborn to the end, don't blame me for being ......ruthless," the foreman was annoyed, he had no patience to grind any longer.
At the moment, if you make a mistake with both palms, you will be a killer when you face the fat brother.
The other workers were also afraid of being burned, so they didn't dare to help the fat brother defend again.
"Slow..."
Just when the foreman was about to use force to force the fat brother to comply, Yichen spoke.
"Twenty-eighty-five, what do you want to do?"
The foreman shouted, he knew that Yichen was new and had nothing to do with the gunpowder matter, but he didn't understand why Yichen would stop him.
"As a foreman, you don't want to solve something wrong, but you have to bend into a trick. ”
Yichen greeted the foreman, stepped forward, and said loudly: "This fat brother, like Lao Zhou, is suspicious, how can he only check the fat brother and let Lao Zhou go?"
"Then what do you say?" the foreman yelled at the miners, and was coldly accused by Yichen, a little confused, and asked reflexively.
"I don't know how big the charge is for losing gunpowder and what the consequences will be. But there is one thing, until you find out, you can't assume that the fat guy did it. ”
Yichen didn't know the fat brother, and he didn't have too much mood to interfere, but from the way the fat brother slept last night, he felt that the fat brother didn't do it.
Helping the fat brother out of the siege is just a superficial phenomenon, and Yichen still has his own purpose in his heart.
"No... You're a newcomer, you don't know anything, why are you pointing fingers?"
The foreman suddenly remembered that he was the boss here: "I'm the foreman, I've got the final say, get out of the way..."
"Oh, what if I don't let it?"
Yichen looked at the foreman coldly, his body didn't understand, but he instantly released the aura of the five grades of the war general, and firmly suppressed the foreman.
"Hiss......"
The foreman felt a condescending and powerful pressure, and shrouded him with the momentum of Mount Tai.
With the strength of his fourth-grade cultivation, there was no room for resistance, but fortunately, there was no murderous aura in this coercion, just a warning.
"If no one pleads guilty to this matter, I, the foreman, will also be implicated. ”
Seeing that Yichen's cultivation was higher than his own, the foreman immediately changed his appearance, and complained very aggrievedly: "The gunpowder was brought back by 286, and of course he was the first to find him if something happened." ”
"Lao Zhou is the last to handle it, can he shirk it?"
Yichen didn't know that Lao Zhou had a backer behind him, but he always felt that this matter was strange, and maybe there was something hidden in it.
"You are the oldest, when you speak, weigh your own weight......"
The foreman knew Yichen's strength, but Lao Zhou didn't know how powerful Yichen was.
He is the cousin of Ding Yuqiang's deputy commander, and even the foreman does not dare to provoke him, and the ordinary miners are even more polite to him.
is used to being arrogant, so he has a sense of anger and glares at Yichen fiercely with his eyes.
However, when his eyes were in contact with Yichen, he suddenly felt stabbed by Yichen's gaze.
Yichen's eyes emitted a trace of murderous aura, directly killing Lao Zhou's arrogance, so frightened that he didn't even dare to finish his words.
"Don't you want to prove your innocence?"
Yichen had just arrived, and he didn't want to make enemies everywhere for the time being, so he ignored Lao Zhou's attitude and just asked rhetorically.
"Twenty-eighty-five, what do you have to do?"
The foreman was a clever man, and he saw that Yichen was not as submissive as ordinary miners, so he made a tentative speech.
"What will happen if gunpowder is found?" Yichen asked.
"As long as the gunpowder is delivered to the warehouse before the end of the month, I can act as if nothing has happened. ”
The foreman explained the management system of gunpowder and the punishment measures for loss to Yichen, and then pondered for a while, and said: "There are still six days, and it will be the end of the month, are you sure?"
Seeing Yichen speak calmly, the foreman couldn't help but ignite a glimmer of hope.
No matter who carries the black pot, as long as the gunpowder cannot be recovered, the foreman must bear a certain responsibility, and the best way is to find the fifteen catties of gunpowder, so that everyone is happy.
"Six days...... It's a little tight, but I can try. ”
In fact, it doesn't matter for a few days, Yichen just wants to make some moves in his favor.
As for fifteen catties of gunpowder, it is not a problem at all, there is one in the sun and moon space.
"That'...... What if I can't find it?"
Seeing that Yichen said it lightly, the foreman began to feel weak again, after all, gunpowder is a scarce material, expensive and not easy to buy.
"I can't find it, I'll just say that I sneaked into the warehouse and grabbed the gunpowder, how about it?"
Looking at the foreman's restless appearance, Yichen couldn't help but want to laugh.
"This is a good idea..."When the foreman heard this, his heart blossomed.
Yichen is a master of the five grades of the general, if he sneaks into the warehouse, it is indeed not something that the foreman can deal with, so that his responsibility will not exist invisibly.
A newcomer, in order to be in the limelight, took the initiative to take care of things, he really didn't know the depths, and he didn't even know how to pit himself.
It turns out that this kid is a fool...
