Chapter 293: Su Moyan Discovers the Secret of the Blacksmith Shop
Obviously, when Su Moyan spoke, his voice was very gentle, but the shopkeeper of the iron shop felt that the gentleness was like a cold and piercing needle, piercing into his chest one after another with Su Moyan's words.
A powerful chill rose in his heart, almost freezing and numbness.
Before the shopkeeper of the iron shop could recover from the fear Su Moyan gave him, the workers on the side knelt on the ground with a thud and begged Su Moyan for mercy.
"The princess spares her life!"
Su Moyan looked down at the worker who kowtowed and begged for mercy, and said with the same smile: "Spare your life? What have you done to make this princess spare her life? ”
The worker knew in her heart that the shopkeeper was not Su Moyan's opponent, she only needed one sentence, and the whole family of the shopkeeper might have to be buried with her.
He has been working under the shopkeeper for so many years, and if Su Moyan is angry, he may also sit on him.
In order to protect his family, the worker gritted his teeth and told all the things he had done with the shopkeeper for many years.
"Back to the princess, although after the peace blacksmith opened in our vicinity, our shop has lost a lot of business, but it is not without making money. The reason why the shopkeeper often says that he does not make money is because he uses the iron ore of the owner to do his own private work. If he made a kitchen knife or scissors for some people, he would just be greedy for the silver. After all, the market is like this, and the owners are all turning a blind eye. But our shopkeeper Liu Wenwu is different! He didn't look down on the money for kitchen knives and scissors, and he was greedy for the business of making 200 bows and arrows and 500 swords! ”
Su Moyan became interested.
She walked up to the worker, "What do you mean with two hundred bows and arrows and five hundred swords?" ”
As soon as the worker was about to speak, Liu Wenwu was frightened and ran towards the door.
Su Moyan immediately realized that there was something in this, and immediately looked at Ziyu.
"Sub-language! Get him! ”
No matter how fast Liu Wenwu is, he has never escaped Ziyu.
Soon, he was like a dead dog with his legs broken and thrown in front of Su Moyan.
Su Moyan squatted down, with danger in her eyes.
"Want to run?"
Liu Wenwu had fear on his face, "Princess Niangniang, the little one is wrong, the little one shouldn't be so greedy, please forgive the little one!" ”
"How much money do you make?"
Liu Wenwu's eyes purred: "Small, the small one was greedy for two thousand taels of silver." ”
His words fell, and Ziyu told Su Moyan.
"Master, he's lying."
Su Moyan looked at Ziyu and was a little puzzled.
Ziyu explained: "It usually costs at least twenty taels to build a sword, and five hundred swords also cost at least ten thousand taels of silver, and the profit of the iron shop is about six thousand taels. There is also a bow and arrow, ordinary people make a bow and arrow, and the government will not say anything. However, if there are more than 50 weapons, you need to go to the government for the record, and more than 100 can only be built in a few iron shops designated by the government. He made 200 bows and arrows and 500 swords, which showed that the other party had an identity or a large organization. These people do not make bows and arrows in the blacksmith shops designated by the government, but make them privately, in addition to wanting to be cheap, the other is that their identities are inconvenient to expose. So the slave maid guessed that this Liu Wenwu also collected the benefit fee from these people. ”
I see!
Su Moyan instantly understood.
No wonder Liu Wenwu wanted to run, it turned out that it was because he himself knew that once this matter was found out, it would be a big crime to kill his head.
However, the Dragon Moon Kingdom attaches great importance to the number of weapons.
However, there has always been a policy and a countermeasure.
If the other party really has the heart, you don't need to fight hundreds of weapons at once, but slowly accumulate them over a long period of time, or at the same time, it is at least possible for multiple people to go to multiple blacksmith shops to build weapons.
What Su Moyan didn't expect was that a brain hole that he opened at any time would actually be implemented by someone behind him!
After she withdrew her gaze from Xiang Ziyu, she looked at Liu Wenwu again, and the smile on her face smiled even more happily.
"How? Do you want me to torture you, or do you want to confess yourself? ”
Liu Wenwu's legs had been broken, and the pain made him sweat coldly.
He was originally a greedy person, if he really had the backbone, he would not have been bought in the first place.
So after hearing Su Moyan's inquiry, he immediately made a choice.
"Take the initiative to confess, take the initiative to confess!"
Su Moyan was satisfied, then walked to the side, found a stool and moved to Liu Wenwu's side.
She sat on the stool, her feet on Liu Wenwu's back, her hands around her arms, and her face was lazy.
"Alright, let's explain."
Liu Wenwu felt that he was so humiliated, but who let him be caught by Su Moyan?
If he knew that Su Moyan was so undeveloped according to his expectations, he should have pretended to be sick and hidden, maybe Su Moyan would have passed by seeing it.
Liu Wenwu regretted it very much in his heart.
But there is no regret medicine in this world, and time cannot be repeated, he can only cry bitterly and explain the bad things he has done over the years.
According to Liu Wenwu's own confession, he didn't want to be greedy.
But because the Su family rarely came to check on his blacksmith shop in person, plus he drank and gambled, the family's family was gone, so he had to put his idea on the money of the shop.
After stealing a few hundred taels of silver, and Lan Caiyun, the Duchess of Su Guo, did not find out, he began to steal thousands of taels again.
Lan Caiyun couldn't find out that he was stealing money under the foolishness of his account book, and over time, he became bolder, and began to treat other people's shops as his own, and the money in it was taken as he wanted.
Later, there was an "X" shaped scar on his face, which was not easy to provoke at first glance, and the big man came to the door and asked him to make bows and arrows and swords.
This project is very big, and Liu Wenwu asked himself if he couldn't do it.
I thought about reporting it to Lan Caiyun, but the other party gave him five thousand taels and asked him to keep this matter secret and not tell any government personnel.
The five thousand taels made Liu Wenwu's heart moved.
But if he didn't report it to Lan Caiyun, the workers in the shop couldn't hide it.
Liu Wenwu asked for an extra 2,000 taels of silver from the scar man, and said that he would give 400 taels of silver to the five workers, but in fact, each of them only gave 200 taels of silver, and he was greedy for the remaining 1,000 taels.
After bribing all the workers, Liu Wenwu began to make people rush to work, and secretly completed the project, and he joined forces with the craftsmen below to create a blacksmith who was maliciously destroyed and robbed to slander the Ping'an blacksmith shop.
According to what Lan Caiyun said, she also deliberately targeted Ping An Blacksmith, but the other party seemed to have a bigger backer, so he should not mess with Ping An Blacksmith in the future.
Su Moyan plucked out his ears, feeling that his ears were almost out of the calluse, and he didn't hear what he wanted.
"Don't talk about all that footcloth-like nonsense, just tell me, do you know what Scar Man is?"
