After going through a lot of things, Wu Jin has become very cautious, although he only guessed that the wine shop might be a spy in the smelting company, but there is indeed such a possibility, he can only pretend to listen to the shopkeeper's words, and send most of the brothers away, while he himself took ten brothers to stay in the town, visit the blacksmith shop, quietly buy a few weapons, and do it like the real thing.

Many things are often like this, the more you worry about it will happen something, and it will develop in the direction of worry, just as Wujin and they just finished eating and left, the shopkeeper's face changed a little, he kept staring coldly at the team and walked away, only then served a meal, went around in a big circle, and hurriedly walked into the side door of Zhao Ji Smelting Shop.

"Steward Luo, I'm sure this group of people is not a dart master, but an army, they are all riding war horses, and they are here to buy weapons in Lujiang County."

The steward of Zhao Ji Smelting Company is surnamed Luo, a fat middle-aged man in his forties, this is indeed the weapon supply base of the private soldiers of the King of Chu, and the wine shop opposite is also opened by them, which is specially used to monitor the occurrence of abnormal situations.

It's not that they're afraid that others will know that the King of Chu has a private army, they don't have a private army here, but it's a big crime for people to buy and sell weapons privately, and if Uncle Shen Guo is found to be buying and selling weapons, then his prime minister can't be the prime minister.

So they were very cautious, and Steward Luo was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, and an army actually came, and it was disguised as a dart game, which is a bit strange!

"Steward, the villain thinks that they are here to buy weapons privately, and the villain's intuition will not be wrong."

Indeed, in addition to buying weapons in Lujiang County, I really can't think of what else these sergeants can do? They couldn't even dream that they could find out the distribution of the private soldiers of the King of Chu from them, and ordinary people couldn't think of this alternative method.

In fact, Steward Luo was worried about the people of the Baisha Society, he had three people from the Baisha Society here, who had come to lure thirty excellent blacksmiths to Baisha Island to build weapons with high salaries, and he was worried that these troops were here to capture the people of the Baisha Society.

He couldn't make up his mind after thinking about it for a while, and finally said to the shopkeeper of the wine shop: "You continue to keep an eye on them, report anything to me at any time, and besides, those people from the Baisha Society told them not to run around." ”

After a pause, he shook his head again, "Forget it, the people of the White Sands Society won't listen to you, I'll tell you." ”

The shopkeeper of the wine shop agreed, and then retreated, Manager Luo was a little upset, he wanted to write a letter report, but he didn't know how to write, was he a little grassy soldier, he sighed, and inserted the pen back into the pen holder.

The shopkeeper hurried back to the shop, and it was time to eat at noon, and many blacksmiths and guests also came to the shopkeeper to eat, and the shopkeeper began to get busy, and gradually, he forgot about the army.

When the last guest was gone, the shopkeeper returned to his room exhausted, and he wanted to take a nap, but as soon as he entered the room, a bright steel knife pressed against his neck.

"No shouting!"

．．．．．．．．． The day passed so peacefully, at dusk, Luo steward as usual, rode a horse, ready to go back to his home, his home is in Lujiang County, but he is not a local, he is a Guanzhong person, was sent here as a steward for three years, his wife took care of two sons and elderly in-laws in his hometown, and he married a concubine in the local area, rented a house of two acres of land in the county, invited some servants, and lived comfortably.

In the afternoon, he went to a wine shop to ask about the situation, and the shopkeeper told him that those people were township soldiers from a county in Yuzhou, sent by the assassination history, and came to Lujiang to buy weapons privately.

He didn't go home for two days, he began to think about his concubine, his heart was a little anxious, he galloped all the way, Lujiang County is a relatively remote county, although the name of the county is also called Lujiang County, but the county is in Hefei County in the north, and Lujiang County has nothing to do with it, the place is remote, there is no wide and flat official road, Luo is in charge of galloping in a forest, seeing that the sky is going to be dark, he is more anxious, the gloomy woods make him feel afraid, although he has been walking this road for three years, but today he is particularly uneasy in his heart.

Suddenly, he reined in his horse, and a large tree fell down on the path ahead, just blocking the way, and he had to slow down his horse and prepare to leap over, but at that moment a large net was cast over his head, covering him with his head, and he was dragged off the horse.

Steward Luo was terrified and taken to an abandoned hut in the woods, where candles were lit, and the dim candlelight reflected a young man, and on either side of him stood six or seven large men, with their hands crossed on their chests, looking at him coldly, and the shadows on the walls and the ground were elongating and shrinking with the candlelight, making the atmosphere in the hut particularly eerie.

"We are Meihuawei, here to investigate the matter of the White Sands Society."

The young man went straight to the point, directly indicated his identity, I heard that it was Meihuawei, but Luo Guan was secretly relieved, he thought that he had met a mountain bandit, that was to rob money and kill people, he was from Guanzhong, he knew a little bit about Meihuawei, as long as he cooperated honestly, he could generally spare his life.

"The villain is willing to cooperate with the adult's investigation."

Huangfu Wujin nodded, they interrogated the shopkeeper of the wine shop, and knew that this Luo Guan was just an ordinary person, not the kind of hardcore henchman of Uncle Shen, this kind of person was greedy for life and afraid of death, and it was easy to deal with.

"Listen to your accent, is it from Yongjing? What is your name? What did it do? ”

"The villain's name is Luo Shoucai, a native of Lantian County, Yongjing Prefecture, and he turned out to be the manager of the salt shop opened by Shen Erye."

Shen Erye is Shen Guo's second brother Xijing who stayed in Shenji, and is also Shen Ruyi's father, he also opened a lot of shops in Yongjing to make money, of which salt is one of the businesses, occupying nearly half of the market in Yongjing.

Wu Jin smiled and asked again, "Who else is in your family?" ”

Steward Luo suddenly regretted in his heart, he shouldn't have told the truth just now, the other party found out about his family, thus hurting his parents and son, he secretly regretted it in his heart, and refused to say more.

Wu Jin said lightly: "How can I ask you, you will answer honestly, you turned out to be the manager of Shenji Salt Shop, I already know, the shopkeeper of the wine shop told me, your home is in Pingqiao Town, Lantian County, I want to check your family is easy, you still tell the truth obediently, don't lose your life because of this." ”

After all, Luo Guan is a businessman, some things still don't understand, when he first came to Lujiang County, he had a good relationship with the locals of the wine shopkeeper, and when he drank, he told a lot of things about his past, as a kind of show-off, how is his relationship with Shen Erye, how is his hometown rich in the local area, how much land and how many houses, and then gradually understood, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense, but the things in the past have been said.

At this time, it was too late for him to regret in his heart, so he had to say honestly: "My parents are still alive, both are old, and there are wives and two sons. ”

Wu Jin saw that he was still honest, so he nodded and said: "I only ask you something, as long as you tell me honestly, I will hurt you, and I will not disturb your family, you still live your life, we will treat nothing as if nothing happened, let alone betray you, what do you say?" ”

"I wonder what the adults are going to ask me?"

"What are the people of the White Sands Society doing here?"

Since the other party already knew about the people of the Baisha Society, Steward Luo no longer concealed it, and said honestly: "They are here to hire some excellent blacksmiths to go to Qizhou with high salaries, and they plan to hire thirty people, let me help them hire people." ”

"Has the blacksmith arrived?"

Steward Luo shook his head, "I don't agree to this matter, inviting the blacksmith will affect our weapon building, we have been under a lot of pressure recently, and we can't be busy at all, in addition, they are the Baisha Society, they must take the blacksmith out to sea, if the blacksmith does not come back, their family members will report to the official to make trouble, and there will be no blacksmith willing to do things for us in the future, so I refused them, and they will leave early tomorrow morning." ”

Wu Jin pondered for a moment, and then asked slowly, "Do you know the white-clothed soldiers?" ”

Steward Luo was shocked, his eyes showed a look of horror, he suddenly understood that the other party was coming for the white-clothed soldiers, he hurriedly shook his head, "My lord, we only care about weapons here, and the white-clothed soldiers have nothing to do with us." ”

"I know that after your weapons are crafted, they will be distributed to the various granges, right? I want you to give me a map of these granges. ”

Steward Luo sat down on the ground slump all of a sudden, this was the only secret he had, and when he gave him this distribution map, he had repeatedly told him that if he divulged this secret, he would have to kill his whole family.

"My lord, I can't ....."

"If you don't say it, I will also want your whole family's life!"

Wu Jin viciously threatened him, "I will also tell Uncle Shen Guo that it was you who colluded with us to tell me the secrets of Quarry Town, and informed me of the news of the White Sands Society, so that you and your family will have no place to die." ”

Steward Luo was so frightened that he couldn't say a word, Wu Jin changed his tone and said: "I can tell you, I am the King of Hei Liang, the Governor of the Chuzhou Water Army, and the General of the Plum Blossom Wei of Chuzhou, my name is Huangfu Wujin, have you heard of it?" ”

Steward Luo nodded fearfully, this kind of news would usually be spread internally, and Wu Jin tempted him again: "If you tell me, I will keep it a secret for you, after all, I don't want Uncle Shen Guo to know that I have mastered his private army, I won't hurt you, I just said, you will live as usual, as if nothing happened, how about it?" Do you have to wait for me to bring your son's head before you believe that I am not scaring you? ”

Steward Luo was silent for a long time, and he suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "I have only one condition, you kill the shopkeeper of the wine shop." ”

"Kill him, how do you explain it to the above?"

"You pretend to be mountain bandits and loot liquor stores, this kind of thing is normal, I will report it to the higher authorities."

"Yes! I promise you. Wu Jin nodded and agreed to his request.
