"Firebolt?" Hu Luguang glanced at Shui Weiyi evilly, "Smuggler? ”

"Self-defense." As soon as the Water Committee knew that the Ming Dynasty had always been quite strict in the management of firearms and other weapons of long-range destruction. Unlike with short weapons, the loose bandits almost have one in their hands.

It is a felony to carry this thing, and if an official who likes to scream is to judge it, then moving the head is indispensable.

Fortunately, the other party's team training envoy didn't mean much. There are still too many armies involved in commercial trade in this era. Coupled with the guards behind the Water Committee, they can exude a kind of soldier's solemn atmosphere from their bones. This made the water committee feel that the other party must treat its own people as an army.

That's why they didn't kill the killer immediately after discovering the illegal weapon. Because they subconsciously feel that they are peers.

The questions asked by the other party also confirm this from the side. He only cares if it's smuggling or not. If this is smuggling, it may involve a struggle between higher-level officers. He didn't have orders from his superiors, and he couldn't make it difficult for himself, an errand runner like him.

But it is impossible for her not to report this matter, and once she reports it, it may attract investigation from her superiors. The Water Committee didn't want to make a fuss now, and a few days ago, he really couldn't stand the deliberate difficulties and greed of the relocation camp, so he led the guards to educate them well. For this reason, he has just been reprimanded by his superiors. It is said that the boss was very dissatisfied with her performance, saying that he was halfway through the trip, which was likely to affect the future business development in the Gyeonggi area.

He's an errand runner, so of course he doesn't care so much. But the boss's attitude determines his future, so this time he is absolutely unwilling to make a move easily.

Moreover, the commander of the regimental training in front of him is obviously much stronger than the dogs in the relocation camp. Especially the archers not far away, which gave him a feeling of stabbing in his back. If you make a hasty move, you won't necessarily get a bargain.

So, the answer he gave was very crisp.

"For self-defense?" Hu Luguang put on a look of disbelief. "Then your family is really rich, and you are quite bold. How dare you bring this thing out. Do you really think that my Ming Dynasty is about to die? ”

The water committee didn't know why the person on the other side was a little angry when he was talking, but he refused to give in like that, and immediately recalled the boss's evaluation of Daming's luck. Then he said: "The fate of the Ming Dynasty is naturally determined by God and the people, what does it have to do with us? I hope that the world will be peaceful, so that I and other businessmen can earn more hard-earned money. It's just that some people are restless at this time, and we didn't go out with some guys. ”

Hu Luguang nodded first. Acknowledging his words, he said, "I don't care about anything else." But in the territory of my Qingzhou Prefecture. You can't run around with this stuff. ”

Shui Weiyi's eyes began to become cold: "Then what does this adult mean?" ”

Hu Luguang pretended to think for a while before continuing: "That's it. You are worried about the safety of the land in Qingzhou Mansion, which is caused by our people who have no way to defend the land. Now that you are here today, it is up to us to keep you safe. It's just that in addition to Qingzhou Mansion, we must remember to publicize our benefits, so that the merchants everywhere can sell more useful things to our Qingzhou Mansion. ”

The eyes of the water committee were calm again. It seems that this group of people is not trying to snatch their own weapons, but just trying to attract more business. Presumably this was the order of their prefect. After all, they were just regimental training established by a wealthy family in the countryside, and they couldn't ignore the orders of their parents like the local garrison.

"It's easy to do. Then I'm sorry for you. ”

The words of the first water committee made Hu Luguang very satisfied.

"Your weapons. I'll put it away for you. When you leave Qingzhou Mansion, I will return it to you. My Qingzhou Mansion is all a bit of a responsible person, and I haven't seen you high-grade firecrackers. If they scare them out, I won't be able to explain it to the prefect. ”

The Water Committee stared at Hu Luguang's expression for a long time. He really didn't feel comfortable putting his weapons in the hands of others. But the other party is already trying to show his heart in a different way, they are just for safety reasons, and they have no other meaning.

"Okay then." The water committee finally made a decision, after all, he didn't want to lose any more points in front of his boss.

So he turned to his men and said, "Count all your weapons and give them to the general's men." ”

He called Hu Luguang a general, of course, he was ready to send a flattery without cost.

But Hu Luguang doesn't care about such sycophants. After all, in the last life. Such sycophants once flew towards him, the second generation of officials, in droves.

But when did he care?

So the sycophant of the first water committee didn't even shoot the horse's tail.

Hu Luguang's soldiers began to collect the men's weapons. It can be seen that the guards under the Water Commission are not willing to obey his orders. The surrender of weapons means the surrender of the right to protect itself by any military organization.

Especially for people like them who have just gone to Germany to win. The ghost crying wolf howl of the Qian'an camp has become part of their military merit medal. For them, who had just won such a big victory, it was naturally unacceptable to hand over their weapons with their eyebrows lowered and pleasing to their eyes like this.

However, their leader, the Water Committee, sensed their dissatisfaction for the first time, and after a few cold glances were sent out, that dissatisfied look did not appear in the hands of any of the guards.

Just two of Hu Luguang's subordinates. It is clear that their actions have been strongly coordinated. Although this kind of cooperation is just the absence of resistance, for an armed group that is better equipped than itself, the absence of resistance is their most powerful cooperation.

Hu Luguang nodded with satisfaction. He jumped off his tall horse and slowly walked to the side of the Water Committee, and suddenly changed to a kind face, instead of the previous business-like attitude.

The water committee really couldn't adapt to his change in attitude, and even when the other party walked towards him with a smile, he glanced at the other party vigilantly, and slowly took several steps back one after another.

Hu Luguang looked at him with some confusion, meaning that you are scared like this panda?

The water committee was not really afraid, he just felt that the other party's face was changing too quickly, and subconsciously became a little wary.

Seeing him like this, Hu Luguang had no choice but to stop his steps and ask in an inaudible voice, "This batch of goods." Was it given to Kang Ning Kang Gongzi in Qingzhou Mansion? ”

The water committee continued to look at him with vigilant eyes, and after a long time, he said: "The customer's information is confidential. ”

"Customer?" Hu Luguang chewed on the word for a long time, and finally found the 21st century knowledge implanted in his mind from the brick crack of memory, and then understood what he meant.

"Don't get me wrong." Hu Luguang said with a grin. "You may not know that our group training was funded and established by Kang Ning Kang Gongzi. For this, he spent a lot of money and effort. So much so that when purchasing goods in the previous stage, there was almost a turnover failure. Fortunately. It's been much better these days. Speaking of which, your seafood is also a great meritorious service. Four or five times the profit is easy to get, and no matter how big the financial pressure is, it can be easily resolved. ”

As soon as the Water Committee heard him babbling like this, it understood that it was the customer who couldn't rest assured, so he sent such a group of people here to protect himself. It's just that they can't rest assured not only of the goods, but also of their group of guards who have just made a lot of trouble in Tokyo.

Thinking about it, the relationship between this Kang Gongzi and the local parents and officials is extraordinary, otherwise it would be impossible to establish any group training here. You know, this thing can't be done with money, it has to have a deep relationship. Otherwise, their black-clothed society would have been flying all over the sky with group training.

In this way, watch your group of people don't cause trouble on the territory of Qingzhou Mansion. I'm afraid it was also something he did to keep the prefect who had an extraordinary relationship with him.

If they do make some kind of moth here, let's say another fierce clash with the local garrison. Although the local military governor can't eat and walk around, he, the prefect, is also indispensable. If someone in the court wanted to fix him, it would be a good excuse.

Thinking about it this way, the Water Committee felt that everything had been figured out. Everything Hu Luguang did today was for the safety of the goods and the prefect, or other officials.

Such a thing, although it was the first time he had encountered it, was not something incomprehensible.

As long as the reason is reasonable, even if the request is a little unreasonable. That's understandable, too.

If you hand over your weapons, you can hand over your weapons, what's the big deal.

The Water Committee was finally able to let go of the vigilance in his heart at this time, and chatted with Hu Luguang about each other's military training methods. Even Hu Luguang has repeatedly expressed his hope that they can join his team training. But after the Water Commission reported their daily income. Hu Luguang had no choice but to retreat.

At this time, one of Hu Luguang's subordinates walked over with a bitter face.

As soon as Hu Luguang saw his expression, he knew that something was coming up, so he immediately asked, "What's the matter with you." ”

"Boss, they have too many weapons. There are simply not enough of our big cars. ”

Hu Luguang glanced at Shui Weiyi and quipped, "Look." When the country buns saw the rich man's belongings, they didn't know how to take care of them. ”

The Water Committee also laughed out loud. But he heard Hu Luguang turn around and say to his subordinate: "You stupid person, there are not enough carts, go to the surrounding people to pick up a few, there are not enough people, you call a few people to help." Go back and give you an account. In this era of famine, is it possible that there are still things that hard copper can't do? ”

The Water Committee nodded in agreement, but the bitter-faced subordinate did not leave.

Hu Luguang saw that he was still not leaving, and said a little angrily: "What else do you have to do?" ”

He continued with a bitter face: "If we listen to it and go to collect vehicles, won't it delay the journey of other caravans?" ”

When the Water Committee heard this one by one, they immediately felt that these people were really real, and they were quite thinking about themselves.

But I heard Hu Luguang say angrily at this time: "I said that you are a fool, and you still prove how stupid you are in front of me." I asked you to stay here to tidy up, I didn't say that the big army stayed here with you. You just need to help them take care of their weapons, even if they don't move a step, at the door of Qingzhou Mansion, it will be difficult to starve you to death. As for their cargo, naturally there is our escort. Even if all kinds of bandits have been flying all over the sky recently, the reputation of our group training has already been beaten. Who would dare to provoke us? ”

Hearing his words, the regimental training officer with a bitter face smiled and laughed, and said in a loud voice that he wanted to be confused.

The water committee was still laughing just now, but now he can't laugh anymore. How can these people have a sense of acting. Now that the people who transport weapons can't keep up with the big troops, isn't that disarming them?

Moreover, he is now without weapons, and if he wants to resist, it is too late.

The most important thing is that he doesn't believe that the conclusions inferred from Hu Luguang's words are wrong, and people are always a little superstitious about their own inference ability.

Hu Luguang didn't ask for his opinion, just as he had "signed" for these goods, and now they were just sent to Qingzhou Mansion City through the motions.

In this way, the two sides continued to move forward in silence, and almost half an hour passed. Suddenly, a herald came from the front.

"Commander!"

Hu Luguang pulled the reins of the horse, put on a very nervous look, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

He didn't notice that at this moment, Shui Weiyi's face also showed an uneasy expression.

"The prefect has an order, saying that it is the anti-thieves in Fei County who are swarming and committing a large number of crimes in the north. I hope that the adults will be able to return to Fangfu City soon. ”

"Fei County is still some distance away from us, why is there a hurry?"

"My lord, visit the Malay newspaper. This wave of thieves looted along the way, and Meng Yin bore the brunt, and the scene was unbearable! ”

"What?" Hu Luguang's anger burned brightly, and the water committee around him even clearly noticed it.

"Big troops, follow me!" Hu Luguang immediately gave a big order, and was about to ride his horse and gallop, but suddenly remembered something, stopped what he was doing, turned around and said to the water committee: "Brother, don't go forward, it's not safe ahead." Go back and find your weapons! Protect my son-in-law's goods! ”

When the Water Committee heard this, it was immediately moved. Thinking that he was still doubting him just now, he couldn't help but feel guilty.

At this time, Hu Luguang took out a token, threw it to the Water Committee, and said, "Show this to those brothers, they will understand." ”

As soon as the water committee took the token, he turned around and led the guards to the back.

He didn't notice that Hu Luguang was behind them, showing a hideous smile.

He knew that Kangning had already set up an ambush halfway through, and the Water Committee and others were about to become turtles in the urn. (To be continued.) )
