Qin Xiao said with a smile on his face: "What do you mean by disused weapons? It's always the recovered weapons that have to be shipped here?"

"No, it's not." Xu Lang said immediately: "The humble position means that some weapons in the armory are not allocated sometimes. Over time, they become rusty and become obsolete weapons. These weapons are accumulated. If there are too many, they will be sent to the forging workshop for re-casting. Before that, they will all be stored in the corner of the warehouse."

Qin Xiao nodded slightly, and suddenly walked towards the corner of the warehouse.

Xu Lang hurriedly followed. He seemed to want to say something, but he couldn't say it. When he reached the corner, Qin Xiao saw hundreds of large boxes piled up here, and asked with a smile: "These are all scraps. Weapon?"

Xu Lang hurriedly said: "Exactly."

"By the way, are the weapons from the forging workshop packed and shipped directly here?" Qin Xiao asked.

Xu Lang said: "After the forging is completed, the Ministry of Industry will send personnel to handover to the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War is the responsibility of the head of Han. Sometimes he will send people to the forging workshop to check and ship the weapons back, sometimes the master I will bring people back in person."

"So when packing the boxes from the forging workshop, the Ministry of War will count the numbers on the spot?" Qin Xiao came here for the first time and seemed very interested in these.

Xu Lang smiled and said: "Someone in the Ministry of War will take an inventory. If something goes wrong, we will ship it back, and the number will not match in the future, then it is the responsibility of the Ministry of War."

"I understand." Qin Xiao nodded and said, "After counting the number in the forge, pack the boxes, and then transport them to the weapons depot. I knocked on these boxes and also wrote the numbers on them, so unless someone came to collect the weapons At that time, I will check it again. Naturally, these boxes will not be opened."

Xu Lang hurriedly said: "Exactly."

"But I see that the iron nails on these boxes never seem to have been moved, nor have they been re-nailed." Qin Xiao said: "If I'm right, after the corner weapon boxes were transported back from the forge , I’ve never opened it before, don’t know if I’m right?"

Xu Lang stammered: "This...this should be...it should have never been opened."

"But you just said that the piles up here are all scrap weapons." Qin Xiao sighed, "So I'm very surprised, don't you see through the air, these boxes have not been opened, how can you Do you know the weapons inside must be rusty and discarded?"

"This...!"

Qin Xiao's face suddenly sank, and he sneered: "Xu Lang, do you think I am young and I have just taken office, so I am deceiving? What the **** is going on, are you teasing the officer?" /

"The humble job has no such courage." Xu Lang said in fear: "My lord, the humble job...the humble job is just a clerk. The Shangguan said that these weapons should be piled up in the corner of the warehouse. .The humble position can only follow the instructions of the Shangguan."

"Shangguan?" Qin Xiao frowned: "Who is the Shangguan you are talking about?"

Xu Lang hesitated, Qin Xiao snorted coldly, and said lightly: "You seem to have forgotten that from today onwards, I will be your superior. The superior you mentioned, but my predecessor? Or, it is Han Zhou. Director Han?"

"Yes..... It's Qiu Ling." Xu Lang did not dare to conceal: "When Qiu Ling was in office, he made sure that the weapons in these boxes were obsolete, so he ordered us to stack them here. If someone receives weapons , The weapons here must not be dialed out."

Qin Xiao smiled and said: "Since it is a disused weapon, it is of course not possible to send it out. If those soldiers receive disused weapons, they will cause big trouble."

"Yes, yes, what the adults said is extremely true." Xu Lang laughed with him.

"Therefore, there are always scrap soldiers in our weapons arsenal

Is the device stacked here? "Qin Xiao stretched out his hand and gently stroked on the wooden box.

Xu Lang hurriedly said: "The rules of previous years, once the new year is over, most of the used weapons in it will be transported to the forge to re-forge, but adults also know that something happened to our ministry this year, so it was delayed. , But before the end of this month, these weapons will be shipped away. In the future, there will be used weapons and they will be piled up here. When the number is large, they will be shipped away and recast."

Qin Xiao smiled and said: "I understand. So the court naturally knows that the weapons in the warehouse of the Ministry of War will be worn out?"

"This is normal wear and tear, and the Ministry of Household can't speak." Xu Lang said.

Qin Xiao thought for a moment, and said: "You bring things, I want to see what the weapons inside look like." sighed: "I will be here as a errand, and I must understand the old weapons. If you don’t understand the standard, you will get out of the old weapons in the future, it will cause a catastrophe."

"My lord.... I want to unpack the box?" Xu Lang was a little surprised, and said hurriedly: "My lord, don't worry, the humble post is very clear about the standards of used weapons. There are used knives in the Armored Library. Let's return to Jia. Li, the Treasury Department, show it to adults for a closer look."

"Since it is at hand, why bother to go back and see?" Qin Xiao smiled: "Come on, open the box."

Xu Lang looked a little flustered, looked around, and finally took two steps forward, and said in a low voice: "My lord, you have to open the box, don't you... ask the principal first?"

Qin Xiao asked immediately: "You mean, I, the Jiakuling official, is not qualified to open the box?"

"My lord is misunderstood. Humble duty is definitely not what I mean." Xu Lang hurriedly said: "The master in charge has personally ordered that the used weapons stored here should not be moved, let alone opened."

"Ms. Han had such an order?" Qin Xiao frowned and said: "Xu Lang, according to Tang law, am I qualified to open the box?"

Xu Lang immediately said: "Naturally, there are. Humble positions are just worried that after the adults open the box, they will be known by the master. It is always troublesome. At the command of the superior, let's just follow the instructions of the subordinates. In fact... ... Actually, there is no need to cause trouble."

Qin Xiao didn't talk nonsense, took out the fish intestine thorn he carried with him, and directly pried open a wooden box in Xu Lang's flustered expression.

Open the lid of the box, there is a layer of hay on it, and the hay is smashed away. There are long knives in the box. Qin Xiao estimates that there are at least 30 war knives in the box, and one of them is taken out, and the blade is dead. With traces of rust, holding the handle of the knife, his face was grim.

Xu Lang's forehead oozes cold sweat.

Qin Xiao glanced at him and took a closer look at the sword. This is the Modao. Qin Xiao has naturally seen Modao, but this Modao is obviously different from the Modao he knows. The blade is not only shorter. Many, and the blade is extremely thin, like an iron piece.

He wiped the blade with his sleeves, and there was no trace of rust on the Mo blade.

"Isn't that these war knives are rusted and worn out?" Qin Xiao frowned, "I don't think there is any rust, how can it be treated as worn out weapons?"

Xu Lang hurriedly said: "Perhaps the former Qiu Ling made a mistake. My lord, this...!"

Qin Xiao ignored him, handed Mo Dao to Xu Lang, and said: "Take it!"

Xu Lang didn’t know what medicine Qin Xiao bought in the gourd. He didn’t dare to defy. After taking the Modao, Qin Xiao took out another knife from the box. Like the previous knife, the blade is stronger than the normal Modao. It is much shorter and the blade is very thin.

Qin Xiao knows that the blade of Mo Dao is extremely long, and the main battle knife against cavalry, although the blade is sharp, but the back is extremely thick.

Qin Xiao had a knife in his hand and said to Xu Lang: "You take the knife and chop it over!"

"What

Is it? "Xu Lang didn't understand for a while.

Qin Xiaodao: "I will let you take a knife and chop me."

"The humble job...the humble job dare not." Xu Lang was surprised: "How can the humble job slash the lord with a knife?"

"I let you chop, you chop." Qin Xiao wanted to take a step back, standing on his legs, holding the knife in his hand, and staring at Xu Lang and said: "If you don't chop, you are resisting the order and disobeying the superior's order. What crime?"

Xu Lang's forehead has cold sweat, and said bitterly: "My lord, what are you...what are you doing?"

"Stop talking nonsense." Qin Xiao looked like a knife: "If you don't chop me, I will chop you to death now."

Xu Lang was helpless, holding a knife in both hands, but didn't dare to do it, Qin Xiao said sharply: "Cut it down!"

Xu Lang raised the knife over the top, and slashed at Qin Xiao, but he didn't dare to use any force. Before cutting it down, Qin Xiao waved his arm, and the second hair came first. The Mo knife in his hand was already greeted. Hearing the "choking" sound, Xu Lang only felt his arms numb, but he still barely grasped the handle of the knife. He immediately heard the sound of "dang" and was startled for a moment. Then he looked at the knife in his hand and his face changed suddenly. There was only half of the knife left in his hand, this Modao was broken into two pieces, and the other piece flew out and landed not far away.

Qin Xiao put away the knife, looked at Mo Dao in his hand, sneered, and put Mo Dao back in the box.

Xu Lang's face was pale, and his voice was trembling: "Big...sir!"

Qin Xiao did not speak, and motioned Xu Lang to put the knife in the box. He picked up the half of the knife on the ground and sent it back to the box. Then he closed the lid and said lightly: "Today we did not open the box. , Nothing happened. If one word is leaked, neither of us will survive."

Xu Lang nodded hurriedly and said in a low voice: "Never confide in a humble job."

"You nailed the box again." Qin Xiao sorted out his clothes: "By the way, where is my predecessor Qiu Ling, do you know?"

Xu Lang whispered: "The official Qiu Ling was transferred out of the Ministry of War a few days ago. I heard that he was sent to Bingzhou. He didn't meet everyone before leaving."

"He has left Kyoto?"

"Yes, I have left with my family many days ago." Xu Lang whispered: "This time many officials of the Ministry of War were sent out. It is not bad to be sent to Bingzhou. Many people have been sent to the poor mountains and bad waters. Where I went."

Qin Xiao smiled and said: "Qiu Ling was not transferred to poor mountains and rivers, naturally because he has a good relationship with Master Han?"

Xu Lang hesitated for a moment before he said: "The official Qiu Ling does have a good relationship with Chief Han. If the official Qiu Ling is not related to Shilang Fang, Chief Han can still keep him."

"Fang Shi Lang?"

"You, the servant of the Ministry of War, on the eighth day of March, and Fan Wenzheng were escorted to the execution ground and lost his head." Xu Lang whispered: "Qiu Ling is a relative of Fang Shilang. It’s not bad to save your life."

"Our chief Han is Dou... from Dou Butang?" Qin Xiao asked.

Xu Lang nodded and said: "The director of Han was promoted by Dou Butang, so the Ministry of Defense was in a big storm. With Dou Butang's maintenance, Chief Han could not be damaged. Qiu Ling has always been appreciated by Chief Han, Secretary of Treasury. Among the four commanders, the person in charge appreciated the official Qiu Ling the most, so he gave the A-character library to the official Qiu Ling. This time the official Qiu Ling was in trouble, and the chief Han also gave him a hand. There is no chief Han. Even if Qiu Ling keeps his head, he will probably be put in prison for several years."

Qin Xiao nodded slightly, thoughtfully, and pondered for a moment before he smiled and said, "You should re-nail the box. You and I know what happened just now. Just one more person knows it, and both of you and me No benefit."
