"Big brother, Xu Lang's meaning is that this batch of weapons will be shipped out before this month." Qin said softly, "If the weapons are shipped out, it's not even evidence anymore."
Gu Baiyi shook his head and said, "This is not important. This matter has long been going on in secret, and they will not stop here. This time it was shipped out, and soon a new shoddy weapon will be brought in. It's just that how to expose this matter is not an easy task." The company's main business is the development of a new product, and the company's products and services will be sold to the Chinese market.
Qin Yi nodded slightly, knowing that since such an embezzlement case involved several yamen, they would have to clean it up, and naturally the efficiency would not be low.
"When you opened the case, was Xu Lang beside you?" Gu Baiyi asked.
Qin nodded and said, "Yes, but I warned him that this matter must not be leaked to the public." With a cold smile, he said, "But he will never keep his mouth shut, and I'm afraid he's already reported this to Han Rou at this time."
Gu Baiyi smiled faintly and said, "You're new here, and you're not on the same page as them, so naturally he can't defend you. Although Xu Lang is only a minor official at the armory, he should have some sweetness in his pocket, so you're right, Han circa should have known that you opened the chest."
"What will he do next since he knows that I know about it?" Qin Yi asked.
Gu Baiyi thought for a moment and said softly, "Maybe they don't have you in mind at all and aren't worried about the waves you can make. But Han Rou won't be indifferent, and for him, there are only two ways to deal with this."
"Buy me off or kill me?"
Gu Baiyi faintly smiled and slightly nodded his head: "But to kill to shut up is to the point of last resort, their first choice naturally will not do so. If I am not mistaken, when you arrive at the court tomorrow, he will first try to recruit you to keep your mouth shut, and only when that is not possible will he choose the path of killing people to silence them." He smiled and said, "The time has not yet come, so you might as well make a false start with them, but don't let them get you involved."
Qin Xun picked up his chopsticks and smiled, "Brother, don't worry, since I know their strategies, I know what to do."
Qin Xun and Gu Baiyi were not wrong.
After dark, Xu Lang, an official of the Ministry of Finance, directly found the house of Han Chu, the head of the Ministry of Finance. Han Chu was only a sixth-grade head of the Ministry of Finance, the house was ordinary, and the outside of the house looked as if it was clean, but inside the study was lit with sandalwood incense, and when Xu Lang was led into the study, Han Chu had just squared a jade butterfly into the cabinet.
He had been kicked by the Black King during the day, and his back was very painful, so he looked for a doctor to apply medicine, but it was still painful.
When Xu Lang entered the study, Han Zhou immediately asked his servant to close the door, and only then did Xu Lang come forward, arching his hand and saying, "Sir!".
"It's natural that you're looking for me at this late hour." Han Shu motioned for Xu Lang to come closer and asked in a low voice, "What did the man surnamed Qin say when he went to the A Treasury today?"
Xu Lang's body bowed and leaned in to whisper, "Sir, he opened the chest."
Han Rou's eyebrows tightened: "What did you say?"
"When he arrived at the A library, his ass wasn't even warm.
and let us open the warehouse." Xu Lang whispered, "I thought he was just taking a look around, but he made a big circle in the warehouse, and ..... And ran to the southwest corner of the warehouse .....!"
Han Rou's face changed slightly: "You mean he opened the boxes there?"
"Yes." Cold sweat broke out on Xu Lang's forehead, "Not only did he open the case, he also took two stranger knives from the case, hitting each other, and one of them broke into two pieces."
Han Shu said urgently, "What did he say?"
"He didn't say anything else, just told his subordinates not to say a word about what happened in the warehouse." Xu Lang said softly, "He also said that if anyone knew about it, he and I would both lose our heads."
When Han Shu heard this, his brows locked and he was silent for a moment before sneering, "He's not stupid, he knows it's not simple, and if he gets involved, he'll have to take his own life." Staring at Xu Lang, he scolded, "I told you to guard the warehouse and not let anyone get close to that shipment, and you let him find out on his first day on the job, is he too smart, or are you too stupid?"
"Your Excellency, he is an orderly official, and he is my top superior." Xu Lang said bitterly, "I repeatedly stopped him, but he didn't listen to me at all."
Han Zhou was even more annoyed and scolded, "You are really too stupid to reach. The more you tried to stop him, the more he felt something was wrong, and naturally, he insisted on opening it. He is now a small mandarin, but I heard that he was a night raven under Black Feather before, and Black Feather night ravens were all honored by the saints and had tiger-headed jade pendants in their hands. Touching his beard, he frowned and said, "I was negligent about this.
Xu Lang was a little nervous: "Sir, after he left, I re-examined the broken blade and there was a small piece of it missing.
"Does he really want to cause trouble?" Han Zhu sneered, "Think you've got a handle on us by taking a piece of debris?"
"I'm just worried that after he goes out with that piece of debris, he'll stir up a storm over a piece of debris." Xu Lang leaned close to the table and whispered, "Someone who knows a little bit about weapons will be able to tell at a glance that the piece of debris is made of poor material and forged sloppily, if ......!"
Han Shu sneered, "Even with that piece of debris, what could he do? Do you really dare to take this to the court? How can a seventh-ranking magistrate, who is not even qualified to go up to the top? He is new to the capital, and has no contacts in Kyoto, and as far as I know, the only one who has dealings with him is a small eighth-grade book-order official in Kyoto Prefecture, an ant-like contraption who is also not qualified to be on the fold. If Qin Yi wants to report this matter to me, he must first report it to my official's side, and I'll see how he reports it."
"What Your Excellency said is extremely true." Xu Lang was slightly relieved: "Qin Yi only discovered the problem with the weapon and didn't know anything else, except for that piece of debris, there was no evidence in his hands."
Han Shu indifferently said, "Don't worry too much about this matter, I'll transfer him to another treasury in the next two days, you also keep an eye on him, if you catch him with something, just expel him from the Treasury Department."
Xu Lang arched his hands, but then thought of something and stopped speaking.
"What else?"
"Do you remember that there was a rumor in Kyoto that the Black Feather General and the Dragon Scale Guards had been working together for a long time.
