Chapter 36: An Unannounced Visit to the Arsenal

On this day, Antu Liuqing arrived in Zhenzhou and scattered the soldiers he brought with him in every corner.After handing over the greeting card, he entered the Zhenzhou mansion alone. He didn't like to make a fuss and put on a show, but liked to tease here and there.

Fu Yin is a 50-year-old man named Guan Qingyuan, thin and capable.Seeing that it was Antu Liuqing alone, he guessed that the inspector had no influence, so he arranged for him in a private room in the backyard, and presented the list of Zhenzhou's large and small armies//equipment//depots in recent years, and the file recorded the location and address , management personnel, number of arms, inventory, etc.

Antu Liuqing read the dossier for a while, then returned the dossier to the Fu Yin, without asking any questions, yawned, and said casually that he was exhausted all the way, tired and wanted to sleep, and asked if there was any beautiful woman to accompany him?

Governor Guan Qingyuan has been an official in the local area for decades. He has seen many officials, big and small. He has seen many people like Andu Liuqing. He heard that he wanted a girl to accompany him. The Fragrance Court found a leading girl to serve her.

The number one girl in Yixiangyuan is Miao Qingqing, a young girl who is less than eighteen years old. She looks pure and clean, and her black hair is fragrant.

"Yo, what a handsome young man." She swayed gracefully at every step.

"Wow, she's a lovely lady. Come on, come and sit with me." Andu Liuqing greeted her warmly with a smile like a master in love.

Miao Qingqing was not at all polite and sat in his arms and poured wine for him, her voice was Yingying, euphemistic and delicate: "Young master will have fun when you come to our Zhenzhou. Zhenzhou is rich in products and beautiful women are like clouds. You will definitely make you happy."

"I'm not good at those, but I like girls who are so considerate..." Andu Liuqing lifted the girl's chin and smiled.

"My lord..." Miao Qingqing shyly pushed him away: "Our daughter Hong from Zhenzhou is also a must, so please drink two more glasses, my lord." She handed over the wine glass.

"The wine in Zhenzhou is good, and the girl is even better." Andu Liuqing said maliciously.

"My lord is really a man of interest." Miao Qingqing responded with flushed cheeks.

"Girl, besides the beauty of girls and the smell of wine, what else is there to do in Zhenzhou?" He asked.

"Girl, who knows what's fun? We spend every day in Yixiangyuan, eating, drinking and having fun, and you just have to have fun here."

"What do men here like to play?"

"Men are just looking for flowers and asking willows. Of course, they also like those who fight and kill. A while ago, many men in Zhenzhou ran to a company called Fang, saying that there were many weapons/weapons, including knives, swords, spears and shields. And fire/powder."

"Where is it?" Andu Liuqing suddenly became very serious.

"Look at you, men are all the same thing." Miao Qingqing nodded his forehead: "When it comes to weapons/weapons, I forget about it."

"Little lady, just say it, this son is just a little hobby." Andu Liuqing acted coquettishly as if there was no such thing as a woman.

"In the southern suburbs of Zhenzhou, there is a large army//machinery//depot, which specializes in fire/powder business, and also sells various weapons/weapons. The business is booming." Goosebumps ooze out.

"Business is booming?" Andu Liuqing was surprised: "Isn't this military//equipment// warehouse managed by the imperial court? How do you start a business?"

"Young Master, this question is obvious. Although the southern suburb is said to be an army//machinery//depot, it is actually a weapon/machinery spinning. It was invested and built by a businessman. It has been several years, so there is no fuss. "

"The government doesn't care? Selling weapons/weapons privately will be decapitated."

"My lord, where do you come from? It's like being isolated from the world. I heard that this weapon/machine spinning was built by a businessman surnamed Jin. This gold merchant has people in God. In this world, as long as it has anything to do with it, Those who are surrounded by noble people will not make a lot of money."

Surnamed Jin?Andu Liuqing suddenly understood, it seems that this investigation operation must be fruitful: "Girl, after drinking this glass of wine, these two pieces of gold will be yours."

Andu Liuqing handed over an ingot of gold, and then her own wine: "However, the girl has to sleep here for the night."

Andu Liuqing fed Miao Qingqing to drink, Miao Qingqing's eyes became dull and hazy. It turned out that Antu Liuqing had already drugged the wine, and she probably wouldn't wake up if she didn't sleep for a day and a night.

It's better to find a girl to ask than to ask Mr. Fu Yin, and one ingot of gold will be sent away.Andu Liuqing straightened her clothes, looked at Fu Yin's window, and went out.

A street in the southern suburbs of Zhenzhou is full of traffic and bustling.Andu Liuqing turned into a handsome man with the appearance of a scholar, holding a folding fan and walking down the street in a dignified manner.

There is no abnormality on the street. What is different is that many middle-aged men have a sword in their hands. It seems that their walking posture does not look like that of martial arts practitioners. Why do they wear swords if they do not practice martial arts?nice?Pretentious?Or play cool?

Could it be related to that weapon/tool ​​spinning?Andu Liuqing patted his head and stopped a young man with a sword with a smile.

"Dare to ask this brother, your sword looks good quality, is it made by yourself?"

"What is this young man talking about? How can I, a commoner, have the ability to make this military sword? I just bought it, and it is not far ahead. You can go and have a look."

"Military sword?" Antu Liuqing asked, "Can I borrow it for a look?"

"Of course." The middle-aged man handed over the sword.

"How do you know it's a military sword? Is there anything different about this sword?" Andu Liuqing asked.

"Of course there is. The big deficit engraved on the hilt is the difference. It represents our Chiwu Kingdom. The sword itself is extremely sharp, cutting iron like mud. It is good to buy for self-defense or ornamental."

"It seems that your martial arts skills are good, you know how to taste swords."

An Tuliuqing touched the sword body, the quality of the sword is average, the sword is light and the sheath is wide, it is generally good for playing, if it is really marching and fighting or the two armies are fighting, this sword is useless.

"What did you say, sir? I'm just copying the businessman's words mechanically. How do I know so much?"

"Oh, brother, what do you mean you bought this sword without testing whether it is sharp?"

"I haven't tried it, but several brothers bought it before and tried it, and they all said it was good and very sharp."

"So that's how it is." Andu Liuqing returned the sword to the man.

"Brother, would you like to test whether this sword is sharp?"

"Don't try it, my brothers have tried it, I believe this sword is no problem."

"Okay." Andu Liuqing nodded his thanks and said goodbye.

Shaking his head speechlessly, he followed the flow of people, and there was a wall blocking him in front of him.

When I asked, I found out that they were people queuing up to buy weapons/weapons.It turns out that the weapons/weapons have arrived.This weapon/arms spinning business is really big, buying and selling weapons/arms in public, and still doing business like a raging fire, is really tiresome.

Squeezing into the crowd, I saw that the wares/weapons are indeed as people say, the business is booming, there is a row of servants guarding the shop in front of the shop, in case someone robs the weapons/weapons, and the cashiers at the counter are busy. Can't be handed over.

Looking at the table inside, there are all kinds of weapons and swords, including the swords I saw on the street just now, as well as spears, shields, knives, guns, etc., all of which are clearly marked.

"What's the price of this sword?" Andu Liuqing asked while holding a sword.

"My lord, please look at the price on it. The sword you are holding is twelve taels." A young clerk in the shop said.

"Ten taels?" Andu Liuqing yelled inwardly, such a low-level sword is so expensive?Not to mention ten taels, even three taels are not worth it?But why is business still doing so well?

An Tuliuqing weighed the weight of the sword, it was similar to the one held by his brother on the street just now, it was only suitable for playing with and displaying, if it really went to the battlefield, it would be vulnerable.

"My lord, this sword is light, but its quality is very good. It cuts iron like mud." Seeing his disbelieving face, the young man introduced again: "My lord, you can try it."

The man said he randomly picked up a sword and chopped it down on a piece of iron that was as big as a stone on the ground. There were flames and sword sounds. After the sword fell, the sword was unscathed. Weapon customers applauded.

Andu Liuqing was taken aback for a moment, these swords are obviously vulnerable, how can they be so powerful when they are cut off?After taking over the buddy's sword, he weighed it again, it was indeed not a good sword.Once again he was sure of his judgment.Where is the problem?He smiled and gave the sword back to the buddy.

"It's really a good sword." He said insincerely.But I was thinking of other ways.As soon as his eyes rolled, a bad idea came.

With a wicked smile on his face, he lightly touched each of the swords on it, and squeezed firmly in the dark where he touched, the sword was not damaged and there was no abnormality.He secretly rejoiced in his heart that he was unaware that he had touched these sword scriptures, and with his innate supernatural power, even if he continued to do so, it would still be rotten iron.

After walking around like this, I finally chose one of the swords and gave it to the buddy.

"How about trying this sword for me?" He thought of the funny picture of the buddy breaking it in two.

"No problem." The buddy took the sword and chopped down on the iron stone on the ground as usual.

Just like before, the sword was shining and the sound of the sword was bursting.Absolutely a fine sword!Following the customers' whimpers, Andu Liuqing's smile spread across his face.

Impossible, this sword has been broken secretly, how can it still be so powerful?He looked at his hands and began to wonder if his natural powers were fake.

"My lord, don't worry, all the swords you buy from us are genuine." The man handed him the sword.

What the hell, I don't believe that they can't debunk their lies.

"It's really a good sword." Andu Liu Qingyan praised insincerely, taking advantage of the buddy not paying attention, with sharp eyes and quick hands, he secretly used his internal strength to fly the sword to the pillars in the house.If it is really a good sword, with his internal strength, even if the pillar is broken, it will suffer, and it is impossible not to leave sword marks.

There was only a sound of Dang, and the sword split into two and fell to the ground with a swipe.The customers around were in an uproar, not knowing whether they were amazed by the divine power of the sword wielder or surprised by the inconsistency of the sword. The pillar was intact, but the sword was torn apart.

There was another uproar in the crowd, and the crowd began to discuss and criticize.

"What's the matter with this sword?"

"Isn't it fine before?"

"How do you say it is broken? What about cutting iron like mud?"

"Try the sword you bought just now?"

There was a commotion in the crowd, and they picked up the swords on the table to make a new round of attempts.It's okay if you don't try, once the sword on the table is in the hands of the crowd, you don't need to cut it, just pull the sword with a little force, and it will be split in two and broken into two pieces.

Everyone is like a frying pan, paying attention to weapons/weapons, but Antu Liuqing pays attention to other things. His eyes are treacherous, but extremely sharp, and he has inadvertently found a problem in the crowd.

"Ah, we were deceived..." the crowd shouted.

"Unscrupulous merchants, actually cheating everyone..."

"Pay back the money, pay back the money..." The flow of people broke through the guards and rushed to the counter.

"Impossible." The store clerk still gritted his teeth and denied it, pointing to the iron stone on the ground resolutely: "Everyone can try it here."

A strong man walked among them, picked up the iron stone on the ground and smashed it down, the iron stone cracked, and inside the beautifully packaged iron stone was a mass of thick paper!

"Ah..." The crowd screamed again.

"How come there will be a sword light and a sword sound when the sword is cut..." People were puzzled.

"Here is the reason."

Behind the crowd, Andu Liuqing grabbed a fellow with a bag of powder in his hand.The guy was listless and huddled together, and Antu Liuqing tightly clasped his wrist.The powder shone with twinkles.

"What's going on here?" someone in the crowd asked.

"The swords here are inferior products, and they are used to deceive everyone."

"Look at this guy, he is hiding in the crowd, he has a unique skill: ventriloquism."

"Whenever someone chops the so-called iron stone with a sword, the sound of the sword comes from his mouth. As for the shadow of the sword and the light of the sword that everyone sees, it has something to do with the bag of powder in his hand." An Stupid Liu Qing raised the powder in the buddy's hand.

"This bag of powder is also called phosphorus powder. Sprinkle the phosphorus powder on this so-called iron stone. As long as it touches the sword, it will emit light and shadow. When everyone is watching, they will be fully absorbed, and they will not pay attention to the phosphorus on the fake iron stone. Fan. So you will be confused by false appearances and believe it is true.”

"Here, not only the sword is inferior, but all the weapons in the store are also inferior. They are vulnerable. If you don't believe me, you can try them. There is no good one."

The crowd immediately stirred up, and everyone hurriedly picked up various weapons on the table and began to experiment.

Looking at the clerk in the shop, he has long since disappeared.

The crowd flocked to the counter, only to find that the silver bills in the cabinet had already been emptied.Customers and guards got into a fight, and some people overturned and destroyed the shop to vent their grievances.

Seeing this scene, Andu Liuqing walked away with a grin on his face.He believed that such a fuss would be more effective than checking ten armies//equipment//depots.Those large and small armies//machinery//libraries that have not been approved by the government will take this as a warning and rectify and eliminate irregularities.

At the same time, it also sounded the alarm for Nanwang Boye. It is illegal to store troops/arms privately and build military///depots privately, which is not tolerated by the court.

Sure enough, as Andu Liuqing expected, the government soldiers came to report this trouble in Zhenzhou soldiers/tool ​​spinning quietly. Recently, there have been more and more government offices from all over the country looking for King Antu and King Changsheng. They are nothing more than flattering and saying something , asking for a lighter sentence, delaying the investigation, giving a chance to reorganize and so on.

Andu Liuqing thanked the guests behind closed doors, and asked the servants to report that he had gone to various places to check that the military//army//depot was not in the house, and so on to prevaricate them.In the dark, it was still the same as before, and the private visits were carried out in micro-services, and the soldiers they brought were dressed as ordinary people and followed behind.When encountering a regular military//army//depot, it will be stamped and approved, and those who are unqualified will be inspected and asked to act according to the regulations again.

Of course, this time in Zhenzhou, he not only destroyed the weapon spinning, but also slapped the governor of Zhenzhou. Heartbroken, how much food would it take to turn a blind eye?Respecting monkeys without killing chickens would have no effect, Antu Liuqing did not do anything, and directly reported to the governor Guan Qingyuan.
