Sergeant's Warehouse.

The treasurer stood anxiously at the door of his room, looking outside.

After a while, a clerk ran in. Before he could get close, the treasurer asked anxiously:

"How's it going? Who won?"

The clerk patted the dirt on his body and said:

"I heard that no one won. The Eastern Camp and the Central Camp were tied. His Majesty reprimanded both sides."

"Ah... have they noticed that there is something wrong with the armor?" the treasurer asked again.

"Then they must have been discovered. I heard someone said that Commander Xie didn't even leave. He had someone pick him out and pile it on the ground." The clerk said with a bitter face, "Treasurer, let's just go and apologize quickly. Just say no.

Be careful to make a mistake."

The treasurer hesitated for a moment and said:

"Can such a big thing get over so easily? Let me think about it again."

After saying that, he turned around and entered the room worriedly.

The treasurer who manages the army's warehouse is a Xianbei man with a curly beard. He is thin and not tall, and his martial arts skills are almost non-existent.

This position is a fat one, and it's not his turn to fill it.

In the past, I was working on several movies recommended by my immediate relatives.

However, because this official is not a big one, he often has to manage supplies and calculate and reconcile accounts. When distributing things, he has to watch them day and night, which is really trivial and hard work.

Those people couldn't do it, and after making a few mistakes, they were all dismissed. So they chose from left to right and chose him, an obedient Xianbei man who also had experience doing odd jobs in the Ministry of Household Affairs.

He often felt very divided. On the one hand, his people looked down on him for being so thin and incompetent, but on the other hand, they felt that he was still useful.

Therefore, the generals he often met who came to collect things pointed their nostrils at him and bossed him around.

Originally, everyone should have curried favor with him so that he could gain some advantage when distributing things in the future.

As a result, those people all behaved like if I used you, it was already a gift.

The fat chai was quite fat, but she was still like an affected maid. She had to smile with everyone she saw. The treasurer felt very unhappy, but there was nothing he could do about it.

A year ago, a big shot sent a general, gave him a large sum of gold, and asked him to do something.

That is to prepare half a number of scale armor vests. They need new ones, but they are easily damaged in the hidden areas under the armpits.

This was a big deal. As the treasurer, he was in charge of ordnance supplies, and his daily responsibility was to prevent these items from breaking. If the broken items were distributed, it would be dereliction of duty.

He didn't want to do it at first, but the other party's backing was so powerful, and he already knew the threat. If he didn't want to do it, he would die.

He could only bite the bullet and agreed.

He thought a lot about how to save his life.

If he is discovered, he will either be pushed out as the culprit, or he will be forced to "commit suicide out of fear of crime."

If he is taken as the culprit, he won't even have a chance to defend himself.

Because he is just a small person, if he could see the emperor directly, shouting a few words of grievance might work, and he would have a chance to defend himself.

Otherwise, due to the status of that big shot, no one would dare to take him seriously even if he screamed, and he would still be dead.

Not to mention "suicide out of fear of crime". When the time comes, you won't even have a chance to shout, and you will die quietly.

So how can he survive?

After much thought, he could only dismiss this matter as an "inadvertent little mistake."

In this way, there won't be any major charges, and the superiors won't pursue him. If he doesn't pursue the case and doesn't investigate behind the scenes, then there's no need to kill the big shot.

But how to make it happen unintentionally took a lot of thinking on his part.

He first put a few rats in the armor's warehouse. In the name of catching rats, he would not go home at night, so he would sleep in the warehouse and polish the armor one by one.

Half a battalion's worth, a total of three thousand pieces!

God knows how he got here!

He knew in his heart that if he could find a few more people to do it with him, it would be much easier, but it would also solidify the fact that he was the mastermind behind the scenes.

Although I don't know where these armors are going to be used, it won't be a good thing.

So while he was scolding, he hid from the other servants in the warehouse and secretly damaged the armor alone.

When he had done more than two hundred pieces, he finally remembered that the fact that the same part was broken couldn't be a coincidence, it was definitely man-made, but it had to be like this.

He was stunned for a moment, and for a while he felt that he was bound to die.

Then I worked on it every day while thinking about how to round out this lie, and finally turned my brain to the craftsman.

That's right, such uniform damage can't be caused by rat bites, it can only be caused by a problem with the craftsman's workmanship, and it's all like this.

Fortunately, he had a year. While he was working on it, he picked out all the armors that had been tampered with and put them in a separate warehouse. He didn't say anything wrong with them, and no one else asked.

Why? Because there is another trick in the warehouse that everyone knows, that is, treating good things as old and bad, disposing of them at a low price, then selling them to the court again, and making money from them over and over again.

price difference.

This is already a default rule and an entire benefit chain.

In the warehouse, everyone from him, the treasurer, to the subordinate officials who obey orders, can all benefit from this.

Of course, they don't dare to take the big head, but it's just the big men of the four armies who give them some benefits to the little officials like them.

Even the minister of household affairs above him knew this, but because he couldn't afford to offend him, he turned a blind eye.

Therefore, the petty officials at that time just thought that someone else had entrusted them to make money, and they all thought that he had treated the good things as bad and was going to "dispose" them later.

The one-year period has come and his affairs have been settled.

Disaster is coming.

…

In the evening when the exercise ended, Xie Yuan carried a broken piece of armor to the sergeant's warehouse and threw it directly on the treasurer's table. He reached back and pointed at Shi Yufeng and said:

"My deputy commander said that he specially received the new armor from you just for today's drill competition. He never thought that all the armor you gave him was bad. I wonder how the treasurer can explain it?"

It was raining heavily outside at that time. Xie Yuan was wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat, as were the soldiers following her.

The men who join the army are very powerful, and coupled with this ferocious outfit, they are even more frightening.

The treasurer quickly stood up from behind the table and glanced at Shi Yufeng tremblingly.

He didn't know whether Shi Yufeng knew about it or not. He just followed the arrangements of the big shots, and they were all people he couldn't afford to offend anyway.

The treasurer said with a grimace:

"Commander Xie, there's a misunderstanding. It's all a misunderstanding. I was too busy yesterday, and the deputy commander was in a hurry. I have a few junior staff who have just arrived, and they accidentally mistook a stock of defective products for good ones."

, was dialed out.

I discovered something was wrong when I was inspecting the warehouse this morning. Hi! I don’t know who it was given to, and I’m checking it. Fortunately, you found it early. Hurry up, I’ll replace it for you right away..."
