Chapter 288 Trading
The scorpion was put to the neck with a cold barrel and did not panic. He knew that if the other party wanted to kill him, he would have already shot. So he was very calm and didn't say anything.
The other party didn't say much, took out a hood, and put it on the head of the scorpion. Then lead him forward. This method is what scorpions are accustomed to. The purpose is simply to prevent others from knowing where they have gone and what roads they have passed.
After walking for a while, I entered an elevator. I don't know how the elevator works, but it's been running for a long time anyway. Then after another walk, the scorpion's hood was opened.
When I opened my eyes and looked around, I saw that it was a large secret room. The surrounding walls are all made of reinforced concrete, and according to the previous experience of the scorpions, such walls, even if they are cannonballs, cannot penetrate them. I really don't know, how much gold is in it, is it worth the cost of this construction?
There is a huge copper door on one wall, and the reason why copper is used is because Goryeo is rich in copper, and other resources are relatively scarce. In front of the bronze door stood several guards, winking at each other. One of the guards, taking a special key from his pocket, inserted it into the door, and twisted it.
There was a "click" sound from inside the bronze door, and after a while, the huge bronze door slowly opened.
The Scorpion was an extremely experienced agent, and from the sound of the door opening just now, he could tell that this was an extremely advanced mechanical lock. Compared with those high-end electronic locks, this one is more advanced and more expensive. Even the top lockpicking experts will take more than half a month to crack such a lock.
Even the scorpions looked at this Goryeo differently. A small country that looks very backward on the surface is secretly so powerful. I don't know how many things are not known.
The bronze door opened, and a blinding light shot out through the crack in the door, and more and more light was emanating. The scorpion lowered its head and covered its eyes with its hands, and it took a while for it to adjust to the intense light.
When I opened my eyes, I saw two rows of shelves placed inside the bronze door. Every row of shelves is filled with gold bricks.
The scorpion visually inspected that this gold brick was at least five kilograms. And there are so many gold bricks here, the number is really incalculable. According to the information, this is just one of the warehouses. There are several more such warehouses, and definitely no less than that.
The scorpion was depressed, no matter how rich Goryeo was in gold, it was impossible to have so much gold. Meiguo, known as the world's largest gold reserves, is only more than 8,000 tons. And even if Goryeo is not more than Meiguo, the difference is not very far. Where did all this gold come from?
Doubts are doubts, but there is no answer here. It was impossible for these guards to know, and Zheng Feilong didn't seem to know either. But it doesn't matter if he knows it or not, he came here to transport the gold, not to solve the mystery and explore.
Pointing to the gold inside, the scorpion said in a deep voice: "Ship a thousand pieces in a box, transport it outside, put it in the square, and someone will connect with you." ”
The guards nodded, then pulled something like a tablet out of their pockets and placed it in front of the scorpion.
The scorpion, who is familiar with the process, knows that this is the password to enter the transfer of gold. At that moment, he wrote a few Korean characters on the tablet, and then said a few more code words. I only heard the tablet "ding" sound, and then the screen lit up.
The soldier looked at the tablet and nodded to his companion next to him. He took out his hood and put the scorpion's head on it again.
An hour later, the scorpion commanded the soldiers, drove the truck, and came to the square.
There are still quite a lot of people here during the day. Some of the children of wealthy families living in Pyongyang, foreign tourists, and martial law soldiers. The scorpion looked around warily.
That's five tons of gold, that's a lot of money, if anyone finds it. Then he will inevitably be strictly interrogated by Jin Sanfat. Even if he is very tough and can withstand it, it is basically impossible to leave Goryeo.
And even if he said it, Jin Sanpang would not punish him, but if he wanted to escape the pursuit, it would be impossible. Even if Zheng Feilong can't do it, other people will. When the time comes, the world will be so big that there will be no place for it.
So even with the scorpion's composure, he still can't help but be a little nervous. But fortunately, there were no suspicious people around.
Many young Pyongyang citizens laughed and laughed with each other, and some danced in the square. Foreign tourists are holding mobile phones and cameras to take pictures non-stop. They want to bring these images to their countries and share them.
The scorpion was slightly relieved, and then waited with peace of mind for the soldiers guarding the gold to transport the packaged gold.
Those people may not know that Zhang Zexian has been executed, and even if they did, they would have done so. It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, and sometimes it does not matter whether the order is right or wrong. There are times in this world where right and wrong are not clear. Therefore, the simplest obedience to orders may be the best way to do things, without having to dwell on the ethical and moral issues that philosophers are tangled upon.
It didn't take long for several military pickup trucks to drive by. The co-pilot of the car was the veteran who had brought the scorpion into the warehouse. Seeing him coming, the scorpion was even more relieved.
The reason why the scorpion chose such a place to receive. It's just so that a lot of people can see that they're transporting things.
In Goryeo, security and surveillance were extremely strict. It's okay to do small things that are hard to notice. Something like this kind of mass transshipment, once done, will naturally be discovered. In a place like Goryeo where people can die for a bag of rice, anyone is an eyeliner.
Therefore, it is very safe in public. Ordinary people must think that since it is so blatant, there must be no problem. And these people are all soldiers, and what they do, that's a state secret. If you report it, you may also be detained for listening to secrets and investigated, and the gains outweigh the losses.
The pickup truck stopped next to the scorpion, and then quickly carried the wooden box in the back compartment to the military truck next to the scorpion.
Although dozens of boxes were loaded, they moved them quickly, and it didn't take long to complete the move. The scorpion gestured to his subordinates, and a box that had been prepared was carried over and placed in front of the veteran.
"For your hard work, this is your reward." The scorpion said lightly.
The veteran was a little puzzled, looking at the scorpion with a blank face.
Scorpion explained, "This is Minister Zhang's commendation for your faithful protection. Minister Zhang has always treated meritorious personnel with kindness, and this will never change. ”
When the veteran heard the scorpion say this, he stopped answering and got into the car with the box. Then he greeted the others and drove away together.
Seeing them leave, the scorpion also planned to leave with his men. But at this moment, a Land Rover came on a rampage.
