Chapter 763 Why are you hiding in the dark?
At this time, the shopkeeper of Xuzhou Yanhan Trading Company kept rubbing his temples and said to an ordinary-looking person next to him.
"Some people bought weapons some time ago, and now these weapons are in the hands of many people. I have a bad feeling now. Please go check it out."
The man was a little curious, "Isn't this great? Arming the people will make it difficult for them to be bullied."
The shopkeeper shook his head: "It's not bad, but it's very bad!"
"There is a question about the origin of these weapons. They were not obtained from our short-term or other arsenals, but from the arsenal in Xuzhou."
"The most critical issue is that the marks on these weapons have not been erased!"
"In this case, if something goes wrong, we will be found out in a single investigation, and then the business will have a big problem!"
This ordinary person couldn't help but twitching his mouth when he heard this, "How did you do it? Why didn't you touch the mark on this weapon?"
The shopkeeper sighed, "There were too many people involved, and some officials went crazy trying to make money. When I came to my senses, more than half of it had basically gone out."
"Fortunately, the armor and the like were not leaked out, otherwise our Yanhan Trading Company would have been uprooted by Da Gan!"
The shopkeeper sighed. It's not that the business of weapons and armor cannot be done. After all, Yanhan Trading Company has such a big business and has so many shops. Coupled with the political demands of the Han army, how could it not do these things.
It's just that the work is done. Generally speaking, the weapons and armor will be forged by the Han army and sent to Daqian and Bailian. Bailian will be sent to Dagan, and Dagan will be sent to Bailian.
Not only that, although the models of these weapons do not change, the marks will be erased.
In this way, whether it is weapons or armor, even if it is leaked out, it will not be a problem, and the source cannot be traced.
But now, something went wrong.
Everywhere Yanhan Trading Company went, it would give shares to many officials' families to open up business routes. This also led to some things that they couldn't react to.
And this time the weapons from the local arsenal flowed into the local area, it was the work of some poor and crazy officers and soldiers.
Now the problem has arisen. The people below the trading company have received the leaked weapons, and they have seen more weapons of various shapes from the hands of so-called gangsters and rioters.
Things are getting bigger and bigger.
If this is investigated, it goes without saying that Yanhan Trading Company will never be able to escape, and Xuzhou's layout will be considered finished.
After all, it is really difficult to build a trading house in Jiangbei. The officials here are far more greedy than the officials in Jiangnan, which caused this kind of thing to happen.
Just as he was waiting for the man to respond, he heard someone shouting loudly in the trading house.
"A traitor has attacked the government office!"
Hearing this, the shopkeeper's eyes darkened, then he quickly came back to his senses and said to the person next to him:
"Quick, please!"
Seeing this, the man could only agree and quickly went out through the back door.
The shopkeeper put things in order and quickly walked out and asked, "What happened?"
"Shopkeeper, it's like this..."
The waiter told the story in detail, and the shopkeeper pretended to be curious and listened.
..................
On the other side, the commotion in the government office has basically subsided, and the living people are cleaning up the scene.
"What were the casualties? How many of the rebels escaped? How many were captured?"
Guan Hui said: "Sir, there are too many casualties. We are counting, but only three of the rebels escaped from our hands. There are 15 people alive, and 63 corpses of the rebels have been confirmed."
Governor Kong Tianzong asked: "Have you ever found out the identities of these people?"
Guandai shook his head: "There is no token or seal that can prove their identity. The only thing that can be confirmed is that their clothes are different."
"The clothes of these people include the clothes of scholars, people in the martial arts world, and ordinary people."
"I just don't dare to be too sure. I am intensifying my interrogation!"
"Yes!" The governor and admiral nodded, asking for a quick interrogation.
Then, as more troops entered the city, the city gates were soon closed, and then there were no more irrelevant people on the streets.
Similarly, in Yanhan Trading Company, the ordinary-looking man came back and brought news to the shopkeeper.
"A good news and a bad news, which one do you hear first?"
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, "Good news!"
The man said: "The good news is that the weapons used by the attackers this time were not obtained from the arsenal!"
The shopkeeper was overjoyed when he heard this. This is really good news.
"What about the bad news?"
The man said: "The bad news is that all the weapons obtained from Yanhan Trading Company have flowed into the hands of ordinary people, and these people claim to be from Datong Society!"
Shopkeeper: "......"
This is not just bad news, it is extremely bad news.
Seeing this, the man added: "By the way, the army has entered the city in large numbers. It is said that many of these people have been captured. Some of them should know about this!"
Shopkeeper: "......"
This might as well kill me!
No, something suddenly occurred to him, "Why did you find out so quickly?"
The man said: "I rescued one of the people who escaped, but don't even think about coming. What happens next is very problematic, and I have to report it to the higher ups."
The shopkeeper sighed and sat down on the chair.
This is not just bad news, it is clearly lots and lots of bad news.
After three anxious days, the captured people went through harsh interrogations. After getting the specific interrogation results, Kong Tianzong interrogated one of the leaders.
In a lobby, Kong Tianzong and Song Su were sitting upright, with their backs to the window, making them look so bright and great.
They looked at the captives who were pushed over in the middle of the hall and pressed into chairs. Kong Tianzong sighed:
"Lin Weicheng, your father is a county guard and a fourth-rank official in the imperial court. Why do you want to hang out with these people?"
This man named Lin Weicheng was already injured all over his body, and blood was still flowing from his feet.
When asked, he had to stand up even though he was wearing heavy shackles.
I saw him holding the chair, looking at Kong Tianzong and Song Suzheng whose faces could not be seen clearly with the sun behind them, and smiled despite the pain in his body:
"Then why are you two hiding in the dark?"
