The Golden Age Chapter 449: Rough but fine


Xue Keyong was not angry, but smiled: "Mr. Han, you still don't understand what you mean. Can you make it clearer?" He turned his head and glanced at the north gate. , Said: "Since you brought me to this remote place to talk in private, you don't have to worry about being heard by others."

"If this is the case, the lower officials may wish to speak up." Han Zhou said: "Xue commander naturally opened the box, knowing that the weapons in the box are not usable."

"Why can't it be used?" Xue Ke said lightly: "It was forged with the lowest iron ore, and the forging craftsmanship is inferior to that of folk blacksmiths. Just cut off." Mr. Han, you should know that the imperial forged knives have strict standards. These residual knives are not only inferior in quality, but also cut corners. At least three or four knives can be made into a real one. Barrier knife."

"You are right." Han Zhou said: "The Ministry of Industry needs at least twelve taels of silver to build a barrier knife, but these residual knives in the warehouse are only two or three taels of silver at most. This is still going to be higher, this kind of war knife is handed over to the folk blacksmith to make it, and it will not exceed two taels of silver."

Xue Ke sneered and said: "It seems that Master Han knows this matter well."

"Clear, very clear." Han Zhou said: "If the officials are not clear, these swords will not enter the weapons depot at all."

Xue Ke stared sternly and said: "Mr. Han, does the court know that such inferior war swords are stored in the warehouse?"

"The palace really doesn't know, even Dou Futang doesn't know about it." Han Zhou looked at Xue Keyong, but at this time he was quite calm: "But if Dou Futang knows nothing, he doesn't Accurate."

"What does this mean?"

Han Zhou said with a chuckle: "Dou Butang is very shrewd. He has been in the Ministry of War for more than ten years, and he has also been in the Department of Treasury. It is impossible for him to know about the Department of Treasury. It's just that. Even if he knew this, he pretended not to know."

"I don't know in the palace, the court doesn't know, Dou Butang pretends I don't know." Xue Ke gave a strange smile and said: "Ms. Han, are you supposed to be a three-year-old child?"

Han Zhou shook his head and said: "The officer did not joking with Commander Xue. Commander Xue, the weapon is forged by the Ministry of Industry and Weapons. I thought, if this is only the work of my Treasury Department, can it cover such a big thing?"

Xue Ke stunned and frowned, "You mean, not only did the Treasury Department get involved in this matter, but the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households were also involved?"

"Otherwise, why should I persuade Commander Xue not to get involved in this matter." Han Zhou said calmly: "Fortunately, this batch of weapons has not been shipped out of Wudefang. Not available."

Xue Ke looked cold, and Han Zhou lightly sighed: "Xue leader should be clear now, this matter is definitely not for you to intervene. You are a hero, this time you are rewarded in Beijing, and you have been summoned by a saint, such as No surprises, the future career will be smooth sailing. If you can properly handle today’s affairs, you will surely be appreciated by a nobleman in the DPRK. It is inevitable that you will be appointed as an official."

"Master Han, today’s affairs are not only seen by Ben General." Xue Keyong stared at Han Zhou and said: "When you opened the box, the brothers under Ben General saw that those of you who were looking at the warehouse See all of them."

Han Zhou heard this and felt that his persuasion had been effective. Since Xue Ke said so, he already had the heart to conceal the matter, and smiled and said: "Xue leads the people under Xue, with the prestige of Xue leads, Naturally, they can seal their mouths. You can tell them that even your leader Xue can't be involved in this matter, let alone them? If anyone leaks the news, not only will their own lives be unprotected, but even their family members may also be implicated. If my subordinates, the subordinates know how to make them shut up."

"Ms. Han is so confident that he can block news?"

"As long as you and I join forces, this matter can't get out of Wudefang." Han Zhou smiled and said: "Don't worry, as long as your subordinates are tight-lipped, they will be given a sealing fee."

Xue Ke hesitated for a while, and finally asked: "Mr. Han, this matter involves three parts, and there are naturally many people involved in this matter. I would really like to know who has such a great ability to let The three yamen joined forces to do such a major event? Who is the noble person you are talking about?"

"Leader Xue, with all due respect, the less you know about this matter, the better." Han Zhou said seriously: "What we have to do now is to transport these weapons back to the warehouse, and then the officer will personally give it to you. You choose the best weapon. After the shipment, you return to Yuzhou with the weapon. Everything is fine. The next official can guarantee that you will be promoted within half a year."

Xue Ke sighed: "Ms. Han, I would have discovered these remnants today, but they have concealed them for you. In the future, the incident will happen in the east window, and it will be known by the saint. I would have known it without reporting it. This head cannot be kept."

"Don't worry." Han Zhou said with confidence: "This matter will not be known to anyone, and no one will get evidence to report to the saint."

Xue Ke said: "He would be a vulgar person, speaking and doing things are always on the table. Who is the noble person you are talking about, if I don’t even know who he is, how can Ben will ensure this? Things will not happen in the opposite direction? You said that this will be promoted. To tell you, this will really want to go up one liter, but whether the noble person you are talking about can really promote this general, you only need to say a few words, but the general will still not be able to. Believe." Raised his hand and touched the rough beard and said: "Mr. Han, I would have believed in you, and you must also believe in this general. Who is the noble person behind this matter?"

Han Zhou shook his head and said, "Of course, you can't tell who the nobleman is. This is the rule. If Commander Xue doesn't believe him, he won't be promoted for half a year, so he will come to Beijing to find the official."

"What's the use of looking for you at that time?" Xue Keyong seemed rude, but he was obviously very scheming: "I will leave the front foot, you will immediately deal with the traces, there will be no evidence at hand. And if you can’t get a promotion, how can you find you?"

Han Zhou frowned and said, "Do you not believe in being an official?"

"You don't even want to reveal who the nobleman behind the scenes is to Ben General, how would Ben believe you?" Xue Ke looked sternly.

Han Zhou hesitated, but Xue Keyong had already lowered his voice and said, "Master Han, I would help you to hide it today. Everyone is in the same boat. Although you don't think things will happen, there is nothing in this world. .Since I have asked Ben to conceal his head, I should let him know who is working for." Looking at Han Zhou's eyes, he said lightly: "At least you, Mr. Han, is not enough for Ben to do things with his head."

"Leader Xue, I really can't help but, other things are easy to say, but the identity of a nobleman, that is absolutely impossible to say a word." Han Zhou was very determined.

Xue Ke nodded and said: "Understood." Turning abruptly, the armor clicked, and he walked away, and said to the convoy: "Go, go to the Ministry of War...!"

Han Zhou was shocked, thinking that he had been talking for a long time, this Xue Keyong was actually indifferent. Knowing that these soldiers had a stinky and hard temper, he reached out and grabbed Xue Ke's wrist. Xue Keyong stopped and turned his head first. After looking at his wrist, he said coldly: "Mr. Han, what does this mean?"

Han Zhou released his hand, gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice: "The next official can tell you, but you have to swear to be tight-lipped and never reveal a word."

"Okay!" Xue Ke nodded slightly, and Han Zhou leaned forward, whispering in Xue Ke's ear, Xue Ke was startled first, and then frowned.

"Leader Xue, you now know why the officer persuaded you not to get involved." Han Zhou was satisfied with Xue Ke's expression, and said proudly: "That nobleman, it's not something you can offend. "

Xue Ke smiled faintly and didn't say much. He went directly to his mount, turned on his horse, and waved his hand: "Go!" He did not return the convoy to the armory, but directly took the convoy. Leaving Wudefang.

Han Zhou's complexion changed, and stepped forward, and said anxiously: "Leader Xue, what do you...what do you mean?"

"It doesn't mean anything." Xue Ke said lightly: "It's just that I'm going to the Ministry of War to pay tribute to Doubutang. After receiving the weapon this time, I can't just leave without a sound."

The guard of the Wuwei Camp has already stopped the fence, and the captain said solemnly: "Commander Xue, the official letter is not stamped, so you are not allowed to leave with weapons."

"Found it, found it!" As soon as the school lieutenant's words fell, a voice came from behind, only to see Qin Xiaozheng stepping forward, holding the official seal in his hand, and ran to Xue Ke Yong. Respectfully said: "Master commander, it was a humble job negligence. I went to the Armament and Treasury Department to change my clothes this morning. The official seal was placed in it, but I didn't put it on my body. I just ran back and looked for it, and I found it." I saw the captain. Holding the official letter in his hand, he stepped forward and said: "Give me the official letter, I want to stamp it."

Han Zhouwan didn't expect Xue Ke to go back and forth, and he didn't think that he had already informed Xue Keyong of the identity of the nobleman. Not only was Xue Keyong not frightened, he insisted on taking these weapons out.

The official letter was not stamped, and the convoy could not get out, so Qin Xiao came out just right.

At this moment, the master in charge felt like a mirror in his heart, knowing that the incident in Dongchuang today was all caused by this young official. Seeing Qin Xiao holding the official seal about to stamp the official letter, he was shocked and angry for a while. Sternly shouted: "Qin Xiao, you...you are so bold!"

Qin Xiao didn't look up at all, took the small official seal, and put a bright red seal on the official letter. Then he handed the official letter to the captain, and then turned around to face the frightened Han Zhou. He folded his hands and smiled: "My lord, I found the official seal. Fortunately, I did not miss the errand." He gave a deep salute to Xue Ke: "Commander Xue, the official letter has been stamped, and only the weapons from the A-character library are on the car. Others Sanku’s armor and armor have not yet been received, so there is the seal of the official, you can walk out of this door."

The captain handed the official letter back to Xue Ke, raising his hand and said: "Let go!"
