Chapter 882: One is darker than the other
Hongzhou's smile froze on his face, the total number of star source cannons in the entire Hongmo King's fiefdom was only more than 1,000, and the ammunition was only 100,000 at most, and it was not enough to turn all the family money upside down.
"Why does King Fuxin want so much? Is this going to be a pirate or a national war?" asked Hongzhou in disbelief.
Fu Lu said: "The general thinks too much, King Fuxin is just taking precautions, in case the scale of the pirates comes too much, I am afraid it is too late to buy now, this expenditure is nothing to King Fuxin." ”
"Oh, that's what the Blessed Messenger said. Hongzhou nodded, how could King Fuxin, who is rich in the world, care about just two thousand star source cannons.
After the two discussed, Fu Lu happily agreed to the sky-high price offered by Hongzhou, Hongzhou was happy in his heart, this time King Fuxin was really bleeding, with this batch of Xingyuan Ball Hong Demon King's poor situation can be alleviated a lot, and he himself also made a small profit.
Hongzhou sent away the Fulu envoy, and went to the Hongmo King's dormitory to report the results of the negotiation with satisfaction, the more Hongzhou thought about it, the more proud he couldn't help but hum a small tune, and his footsteps also floated, leaving behind the previous unsuccessful interception of Liang Feng.
"The general stays!"
Prime Minister Wen suddenly walked out of the side of the road, blocking Hongzhou's way, comparing Hongzhou's radiant expression, Prime Minister Wen's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Prime Minister, why are you here?"
The general looked proud, and Wen came to congratulate him. Prime Minister Wen said this, but his tone didn't mean to be happy at all.
Hongzhou restrained his smile and asked, "Prime Minister Wen, what do you mean by this, what do you say?"
"General Daohe successfully sold the prince's heavy weapons and made a lot of money!"
"You!" Hongzhou saw that Prime Minister Wen was here to find trouble, his face sank, and he said coldly: "General Ben doesn't know what Prime Minister means, the prince ordered General Ben to negotiate with Fu Lu, and now he is about to report the result, Prime Minister Wen is afraid that he is biting the wrong place!"
Prime Minister Wen Cheng said with a gloomy face: "General, what are you still pretending to be until now! The prince asked you to negotiate, but he didn't let you accept bribes!"
。。。。。。
Hongzhou's expression suddenly froze, and he reluctantly smiled after a while: "The prime minister said that he was joking, when will General Ben take bribes, don't spew blood!"
Prime Minister Wen was not verbose, took out an echo gourd from his arms, and pulled the lid and immediately appeared The conversation between Hongzhou and Fu Lu appeared.
"You, you dare to spy on me!" Hong Zhou was annoyed, he couldn't imagine that Prime Minister Wen was so bold and openly eavesdropped in the palace, which definitely violated the taboo of the Hong Demon King.
Prime Minister Wen put away the gourd and sneered: "The general doesn't have to bother to snatch it, this gourd is not the only one, as long as Ben Cheng is willing, he will immediately send it to the prince." ”
Hongzhou did plan to snatch the evidence on the spot and destroy it, but he didn't expect to be broken by Prime Minister Wen, his cheeks tensed several times, and he controlled his anger and asked, "Wen Xu, what do you want?"
Prime Minister Wen Cheng looked at Hongzhou and smiled when he saw it, and said: "The general has made a windfall, and those who should see it have a share, two thousand Xingyuan cannons are a big business, and Bencheng wants a profit." “
Hongzhou's body shook and almost fell, and he said angrily: "Wen Xu, do you want to be shameless, Lao Tzu only received two percent, you open your mouth to ask for one percent, that is fifty thousand, you are not afraid that Lao Tzu will report you?"
Prime Minister Wen confidently took out a waist card and shook it in front of Hongzhou, and asked, "Does the general know this?"
"Inspector?"
"Yes, when the general went to suppress the bandits, the prince had already given Ben Cheng the responsibility of supervising the envoy, specifically investigating fraud and corruption in the court, and it seems that the general was the first person caught by Ben Cheng. Prime Minister Wen laughed.
Hongzhou said angrily: "The supervisor must not be concurrently served by an official, why should you!"
"General, this is the prince's own order, as for why the general asked the prince, Ben Cheng only has to perform his duties, either the general does what Ben Cheng ordered, or Ben Cheng will call someone to take down the general now, it depends on the general's meaning. ”
The more Hongzhou looks at Prime Minister Wen, the more hateful he becomes, this grandson has always put on a sanctimonious appearance, he looks upright, he can't imagine that there is all business experience behind him, if he tears his face with him, I don't know what the result will be, the supervision makes the inspector always arrest first and then judge, even if he is wronged, he has to be imprisoned for an unknown amount of time.
Thinking of this, Hongzhou's head drooped down, and he said in frustration: "It's according to the prime minister's meaning." “
Prime Minister Wen laughed and said: "General Zhenguo really lives up to his reputation, and he immediately sees what to do." Sure enough, he is a pillar of talent. “
Hongzhou was sarcastically red-faced by Prime Minister Wen, originally he never looked at Prime Minister Wen in his eyes, but he didn't expect to be eaten to death by him in the end.
"By the way, the general still has one more thing, this batch of Xingyuan cannons does not need to use their own reserves, this prime minister has already contacted the Huitong number, they happen to have a supply on hand that is two percent cheaper than their own production, and the Huitong number can also be two percent more, why don't you and me each have half of them?"
It took a long time for Hongzhou to ease up and say: "Prime Minister Wen, are you crazy, those star source cannons sold by Huitong are all garbage produced by the fiefdom of the Sand King, and they will explode if they can't be hit a few times, this, isn't this a brand of smashing Hongmo?"
Prime Minister Wen Cheng said disapprerovingly, "General, do you think King Fuxin will always buy Xingyuan cannons? I'm afraid there will be no next time after buying this time, even if the cannon he bought is destroyed, what does it matter to you and me, it is his bad luck." ”
Hongzhou wanted to refute but had nothing to say, although Prime Minister Wen's idea was damaged, what he said was the truth, it was indeed impossible for King Fuxin to always place an order to buy guns, if it was broken, he might buy a new one.
Prime Minister Wen Cheng saw that Hongzhou's mind was moved, and he instigated: "Don't worry, the prince will never know about this, God knows that you know and I know, and nothing can happen." ”
Hong Zhou pondered for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Wen Xu, let's talk ugly in front, if the Hong Demon King investigates this matter, this general will definitely drag you to the end!"
"Hahaha, no, as long as the general is tight-lipped, of course Ben Cheng will not leak it!"
"It's a deal!"
After Prime Minister Wen finished speaking, he drifted away, leaving a flustered Hongzhou, and thought about it for a while, Hongzhou took out the list that had been written and tore it to pieces, rewrote it, and added two percent to the original price, so that he could get three percent of the benefits from it, even if Prime Minister Wen found out and gave him half evenly.
After Liang Feng successfully infiltrated Hongyu City, he immediately escaped from Hongzhou's artillery team, and when they took off their armor, they would definitely be exposed, and they changed their shapes and shadows several times in a row, successfully getting rid of those soldiers, and then took off their armor and changed into ordinary clothes stolen from the side of the road, and no one would pay attention to him anymore.
The environment of Hongyu City is better than that of the previous Stygian Sand City, most of the residents here make a living from handicrafts, and the streets are lined with all kinds of handicraft workshops, Liang Feng walked not far before he saw a huge building, covering an extremely wide area, and there were two soldiers standing at the door to guard, which seemed to be an important place.
Liang Feng grabbed a person walking by and asked, "May I ask my brother, what is that house for?"
Passers-by looked Liang Feng up and down, and saw that he was wearing local clothes, and said strangely: "Aren't you dazed, why don't you even recognize the artillery factory?"
