Chapter 30: Expanding Power

Although he addressed the treasurer, there was no half-respectful meaning in his tone, on the contrary, there was a gloating expression on the corner of his mouth.

"What do you call a brother?" Xiao Feng asked the craftsman leading the way in front of him.

"Zhao San." The latter replied without looking back.

"Didn't you have a treasurer before?" Xiao Feng asked the question in his heart.

Guarding the arsenal should be a fat difference, how can you vacate a warehouse chief and let yourself replace it?

"Yes, transferred." Zhao San replied lightly, but secretly thought in his heart, "I took away the fart, because of the guilt, and now I am still gnawing at the nest in prison." ”

Xiao Feng also asked more, and followed Zhao Sanqi to the door of a warehouse.

The armory sits in a corner, and the two wooden doors outside are in tatters, contrasting sharply with the new iron locks.

Come to think of it, the armory in the county ya, unless that thief is too long, he dares to steal here.

"Where's the key?"

Zhao San thought about it, but reluctantly took out a key from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Feng.

With the crunching sound of grinding teeth, the heavy wooden door was pushed open, and a thick layer of dust came to the face.

The armory covers an area of not small, half an acre, but what makes Xiao Feng dumbfounded is that on the weapons racks placed in rows, there are few shadows of weapons, and there are not many dozen or so left, which are either crawling with rust or visible damage to the naked eye.

Xiao Feng gasped and suddenly woke up, this is a game! I'm the sheep I slaughtered!

Inside Liu Chengfu.

On the table in the living room were neatly placed silver ingots, which were roughly swept away, and at least a hundred taels.

And next to the silver ingot, there was an open letter.

Liu Cheng respectfully poured tea for the middle-aged man sitting opposite, "Master, look at this matter......"

Master, the personal staff of the county order, belongs to the henchmen who specialize in planning and responsibility for the county order, although there is no specific official position, and it does not belong to the category of state officials, but the status is as important.

On the other hand, it can even represent prefectural orders.

The master glanced at the silver on the table, took a sip of tea, and sighed: "I'm afraid this matter is not easy to handle......

Liu Cheng hurriedly smiled and waved his hand to the subordinates outside the door, and at the same time a trace of undetectable disgust crossed his eyes.

After a while, the subordinate put fifty taels of silver on the table, and Liu Cheng pushed it to the master, "Master, is the military reform credible?" ”

"Credible? This is an order that Qin Cha personally came down to convey, and if I hadn't taken care of it and stopped this matter, I'm afraid it would have reached the ears of the old man by now. ”

"If you check the weapons, those ...... of our smugglers"

The master stroked the goat's whiskers on his chin and said slowly: "If you have a way, there are two now." ”

Liu Cheng's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly leaned over, "What is the master's opinion?" ”

"Well, this is to find one hundred and eighty blacksmiths, day and night casting, three days can almost make up the armory things, of course, the cost is at least 1,500 taels."

"Fifteen hundred taels!" Liu Cheng exclaimed: "This will never work, this ...... This...... What about the second high opinion of the master? ”

The master pondered for a moment, glanced around, and then lowered his voice and continued: "The second is to find someone to blame and put all the blame on this scapegoat. ”

"Then......" a look of determination flashed in the master's eyes, "Let this scapegoat and the warehouse disappear together!" ”

"There is no proof of death!" Liu Cheng slapped the table and praised repeatedly, "Good plan!" Good plan! ”

"Master, I've already found this scapegoat for you." After that, Liu Cheng took out another silver ticket and handed it to the master.

Seeing that the master nodded and accepted, Liu Cheng said again: "Master, the barbarians are going to buy weapons from us again, do you see this?" ”

Surabaya Village is located on the border between Lingdong Road and the barbarians in Yanyang County, and is often harassed by barbarians.

Due to the limited level of metal smelting of the barbarians, there is a great demand for iron tools, especially weapons, and the other party's price is high, so they have become the first choice of the master and Liu Cheng to smuggle weapons.

The master waved his hand, "Don't be in a hurry to reply yet, and when this matter is dealt with now, we will make another plan." ”

On the other side, Xiao Feng was smiling bitterly at the warehouse with a wry face, when he noticed that a door had opened on the left wall at the end of the warehouse.

Zhao San always kept a distance not close to him, silent.

"What's behind that door?" Xiao Feng asked.

"Casting spinning."

"What about the rest of the armory?"

Zhao San didn't raise his head, and still responded indifferently: "Noticed, they said they would come over later." ”

Xiao Feng sighed helplessly, the warehouse was dirty and messy, outside the old table, all that was left was a neat and empty weapon rack.

He also knows why these people are so leisurely, those who can be greedy are greedy, and they are afraid that they will not be honest when they let go, so it is better to spend some money to raise them, and if they are checked that day, they will be like him, and they will be brought to be scapegoats.

I wiped the stool with my sleeve briefly, sat down, looked through the register of weapons in and out a few times, and was confused.

There are three in the thick register, about thirty or fifty pieces of utensils, and there are still in and out.

It is estimated that there are more than this number of shelves in the warehouse, and they don't even bother to make fakes, how rampant?

Thinking about it with his toes, Xiao Feng can figure it out, the insiders did it, and the official rank is not low, and the lord of this Ya Qingtian can't say for sure.

It's a dead end!

After more than half an hour, the other two people in the armory were late, and Xiao Feng looked up and was even more dumbfounded.

The two old men, the youngest of whom looked to be in their fifties, and each of them had a ladle of water in their hands, which looked like they had just finished watering the flowers.

"Little doll, you were arranged to come here, and you offended people again, right?" One of them spoke in a very strong dialect.

Xiao Feng smiled bitterly, "Uncle, I still have some business, what should you two be busy with." ”

In this case, there does not seem to be any dereliction of duty.

After that, he turned his head and left the warehouse, walked out of the yard through the side door, and found Niu Meng at the agreed place.

Niu Meng obviously waited for a long time, and when he saw Xiao Feng, he hurriedly greeted him, and said with a smile: "Brother Feng, I have inquired about everything you arranged." ”

"The fourth Zeng you got in, the power is in the east of the city, but it is only a small area in the east of the city."

"I usually rely on Liu Jian's relationship with the people of Huohuo, bullying men and women."

Xiao Feng nodded, he planned to develop and consolidate his power in the east of the city first, and then develop in the north of the city, after all, most of the various shops in the city were concentrated in the north of the city, and in comparison, the development prospects in the north of the city were much better than those in the east of the city.

He was even more disdainful of being a ruffian, so he temporarily set the goal of development in the north of the city.

However, there are more tricky things waiting for him to deal with at the moment.
