Volume 15 Chapter 20

Bai Qianqiu wept bitterly, slapped himself, and kept begging Young Master Yu for forgiveness. As for Bai Jiu and Zhou Jinyu, they don't even have the qualifications to kneel in front of Hong Yu at this time.

Hong Yu had no interest in what to do with these people, and waved his hand in disgust to let them all out.

"How to deal with it, you can do it yourself. I'll go to bed first. ”

Hong Yu dropped a sentence, and Cui's father and Cai Changjun hurriedly said goodbye. Hong Yu looked left and right, Guan Ling, Zhuang Han, Mo Ji, Huoyun Ji...... The little cabbage is very bright, and I really want to have the courage to catch one and correct the Fa on the spot tonight-forget it, this thing is what Young Master Yu is most jealous of Zhou Jinyu.

He waved his hand: "Let's all go back to sleep." ”

Everyone dispersed, and Guan Ling was still stepping on Uncle Yun under his feet

Hong Yu said: "Give it to Cui Jiancheng and them." ”

"Good. ”

Poor Uncle Yun was thrown out by Guan Ling by the neck.

......

Early the next morning, Cui Jiancheng came and waited outside the inn door. Last night, the innkeeper and the guys were scared and trembling. Cui Twenty-Nine and Cai Changjun, those were the two most powerful people in the entire Qi County! They rushed to their small inn together, and after they left, three thousand elite soldiers directly drove in and surrounded the entire inn.

Cui Jiancheng waited outside for more than an hour before Hong Yu got up, and then he waited patiently for half an hour before Young Master Yu came out after breakfast. Cui Jiancheng hurried up and said mysteriously: "Young master, a major discovery!"

"What?"

Cui Jiancheng became excited: "What kind of goods do you guess Zhou Jinyu is transporting this time?"

"Don't sell off, say it quickly. ”

"Weapons! For a full 120 carts of weapons, we counted 5,000 first-class steel knives, 3,000 first-class spears, 1,500 first-class shields, and 1,000 sets of all-steel bust armor overnight!"

There are three levels of weapons in Great Xia, the worst being the third class and the most haode being the first class. Regardless of the workshop that produced them, first-class weapons could only be supplied to the army and could never be sold privately.

Of course, the high-quality weapons produced by various weapons workshops are not sold to warriors.

Why did the Zhou family transport such a large batch of first-class weapons from afar? If it was procured by the military, there was no need to be so low-key, and it would cost a lot of money along the way.

Hong Yu keenly felt that the matter here was not simple: "Who is this batch of goods for?"

Cui Jiancheng was even more excited: "Their customs clearance route is to go to the outside of the Saiwai, although it is not directly sent to Dirong, but the destination is a small tribe attached to Dirong!"

Hong Yu was dumbfounded: "So many weapons, smuggled to Di Rong!"

Immediately, his face instantly turned pale: "Bastard, you should kill! You should kill!"

He scolded three times in a row that he should be killed, which shows the anger in his heart at this time.

Compared with Great Xia, in addition to the resources of war horses and wild beasts, salt, iron, tea, medicinal herbs, grain, etc. are scarce. The level of Dijon's artificials may not be much different from that of Great Xia, and the beast masters are even better, but the ordinary craftsmen who forge weapons are too far behind.

First of all, Dijon is a nomadic people, and there are few blacksmiths. Secondly, there are very few iron ores in Dijon, and raw materials are scarce.

After Hong Shengri attacked Di Rong in the north, Daxia took the initiative in the exchanges between the two countries. Subsequently, the Jihua formulated by the Baili Shengshi was executed, and the trade of salt, tea, and grain was used to further control Dijon.

For border trade, Daxia has strict regulations, among which the regulations for iron tools are the most stringent, except for iron pots, almost any iron tools are not allowed to be sold to Di Rong, not to mention the first-class weapons exclusively for the army, even the worst third-class weapons are not allowed to be sold, once found out, no matter how many quantities, a dead end!

Dijon is a nomadic people, who grew up on horseback, and their people are born warriors. The quality of their weapons is very poor, even so, it will be very difficult for Great Xia to defeat them, if they are allowed to have such elite equipment, you can imagine what kind of disaster it will be!

Zhou Jinyu's large number of ordnance was shipped out and put into the hands of Di Rong's iron cavalry, and in the future war between the two countries, there would certainly be thousands or even tens of thousands of sacrifices of Daxia Erlang! These are all living lives, and because of the greed of the Zhou family, great lives were buried on the grassland! The Hong family was born in the military, and they hated this kind of thing the most!

Cui Jiancheng also said hatefully: "This is not all, my father and I interrogated overnight, that Zhou Jinyu confessed, they are only the first batch, if they can be sent out smoothly, there will be nine batches behind! The number of each batch is not less than this time!"

Hong Yu only felt anger rising above his head: "This Zhou family wants to raid the family and exterminate the clan!"

He suddenly realized a question: "Where is the place where the Zhou family delivers?"

"Outside the Saiwai Wuhe Longta, a small tribe close to the barren forest belt of the Mother River, has a population of only about tens of thousands, and eight thousand knights. ”

Hong Yu suddenly understood, and sneered: "Dijon people are so calculating!"

Wuhe Longta is the location of this north-south competition and the mother river hunting. Obviously, Di Rong killed two birds with one stone, and took advantage of the mother river to hunt and cover this receipt!

Hong Yu didn't expect that a random event on the road would actually allow him to catch such a big fish.

He groaned and ordered, "Be sure to keep it strictly confidential!"

"Yes. ”

Hong Yu gritted his teeth and said: "This kind of profit-hungry businessman sold the lives of our Great Xia soldiers to Di Rong, this Zhou family, I must let them connect the nine clans! Also, the people who supply these first-class weapons to the Zhou family must also be investigated to the end!"

He shouted to Su San: "Go and call Master Li." ”

Lord Li is one of the three accompanying officials this time, and this matter has to be heard by heaven, and Hong Yu needs Lord Li's help.

After Lord Li came, everyone discussed secretly for a period of time, and Lord Li temporarily decided to return to Wudu, and Cui Jiancheng and his son sent three hundred knights to escort them.

This is likely to be the No. 1 case of smuggling weapons since the founding of Great Xia!

At the same time, the Cui family was also secretly excited, although Cui's father's subordinate Bai Qianqiu was deeply involved, but as long as Young Master Yu was served well and not pursued much, then how to write it in the imperial court newspaper when the time came, it was Cai Changjun and Cui Twenty-nine who had the final say. With the Spring and Autumn Period, the collusion between Bai Qianqiu and the Zhou family was whitewashed as the old general Cui had long discovered that there were unscrupulous people among his subordinates, put a long line to catch big fish, and secretly arranged it, and finally the scum among the generals and the Zhou family were captured! That was still a great achievement.

Hong Yu temporarily lived in Leizhou City.

A few days later, news came that Hong Yu's eldest brother Hong Lie, as the new Zhengwupin Inspector of the Dynasty, held the sword of Shang Fang and secretly went to Nanyue County to investigate the case. On the Qi County side, Baili Shengshi sent people to supervise it.

Along with this, there was another piece of information sent by the Hong family through their own secret channels. After reading this information, Hong Yu realized that behind a seemingly natural result, there were also various game wrestling.

It is said that this shocking case was discovered by Hong Yu, and Cui Twenty-nine is also a person who went out of the Hong Mansion, and the credit will definitely fall on the Hong family. However, neither the emperor nor Baili Shengshi wanted the Hong family to have any more credit, in that case, the strength of the Hong family would swell again, and it would be more difficult to deal with.

Therefore, all parties in the court really fought for two days, and in the end, the emperor and Baili Shengshi also felt that they couldn't leave the Hong family, so they let Hong Lie go, but they were only given the official position of an item inspector, which was too low.

Baili Shengshi wants to share part of the credit, plus the person who is zuihou talking about the meritorious deeds is Emperor Wuzong: this time I am afraid that they are thinking of sharing at least half of the credit of the Hong family.

Hong Yu also saw through the emperor's plan, but he would never accept it calmly. The Hong family doesn't ask for anything, but they will definitely work hard to get back what belongs to them.

As soon as he finished reading this piece of information, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and Cui Jiancheng's voice sounded: "Young master, can I come in?"

"The door isn't closed, come in. ”

After Cui Jiancheng walked in, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes: "Young master, among Zhou Jinyu's caravan, there is an old steward who has been in the Zhou family for decades and is very familiar with everything in the Zhou family. Behind the supply to the Zhou family is the Vulcan Workshop in Nanyue County!"

"Vulcan Workshop?" Hong Yu touched his chin, thoughtful.

Hong Yu vaguely remembered that when he went to inspect the Baojin before, there was this Vulcan workshop in the account book, and they would buy some rare metal materials from the Baojin every year.

In that account book, the shili behind each customer was also marked. Because of the relationship between the Hong family, it is impossible for the workshops opened by the Baili family, the He family, etc., or the workshops of their vassals Shili, to buy truly cherished metal materials from the Baojin.

At that time, the back of the Vulcan Workshop was marked with the Jiang family of Nanyue County. The Jiang family is really a giant in Nanyue County, and there are no more than three shili in Nanyue County who can compete with the Jiang family.

And behind the Jiang family, it is the Baili clan!

Hong Yu smiled and patted Cui Jiancheng hard: "This time, it's done well!"

Cui Jiancheng was praised by Young Master Yu and smiled happily, it is estimated that this time, the Cui family's great achievements will not be able to run.

After sending Cui Jiancheng away, Hong Yu immediately came back and wrote a letter to his grandfather and eldest brother, and then asked Uncle Shen to use the secret channel of the Hong family to send out eight or two letters.

Then Young Master Yu sat on the Taishi chair, cocked Erlang's legs and swayed slowly, picked up the teapot on the side and took a sip: Do you want the Baili family to share the cup? Hehe, my Hong family's advantage is so easy to take advantage of? This time, let you steal chickens and rice!
