Turning his head to look over at the north gate, he said, "Since you have brought me to this secluded place for a private talk, there is no need to worry about being overheard."

"In that case, I might as well be straightforward." Han Zhou said, "Commander Xue has naturally opened the chest and knows that the weapons in it are not usable."

"Not only is it unusable?" Xue Ke Yong said indifferently: "That was forged with the lowest iron ore, and the forging process is inferior to that of a private blacksmith, and the fire is simply not up to scratch, otherwise it wouldn't break at the first touch." In a low voice, "Master Han, you should know that the barricade knives forged by the empire have strict standards, and these broken knives are not only of inferior quality, but also shoddy, with at least three or four knives made from materials that can be used to make a true barricade knife."

"You're right." Han Zhou said, "It takes at least twelve taels of silver to build a barricade knife over at the Ministry of Works, but these salvaged knives in the warehouse are only two or three taels of silver at most, which is still higher.

Xue Ke Yong sneered, "It seems that Master Han is clear about this matter."

"Clear, very clear." Han Zhou said, "If my servant wasn't even clear, these swords wouldn't have made it into the armory."

Xue Ke used a cold, steely gaze and said, "Master Han, does the imperial court know that such inferior war swords are in the arsenal?"

"It's true that the palace doesn't know, and even Dou Beitang doesn't know anything about it." Han Zhou looked at Xue Ke Yong, but was now quite calm, "But it would not be accurate to say that the Dou Bu Tang knows nothing about it."

"What do you mean by that?"

Han Zhuyu laughed lightly and said: "Dou Beitang is very shrewd. He has been in the Ministry of War for more than ten years, and was once in the Treasury Department, so it is impossible for him not to know about this matter. It's just that even if he knew about this matter, he would be pretending not to know."

"The palace doesn't know, the court doesn't know, and the Dou Ministry Department is pretending not to know." Xue Ke Yong gave a strange laugh and said, "Master Han, do you think I am a three-year-old child?"

Han Zhu shook his head and said: "I am not joking with Commander Xue. Commander Xue, the weapons are forged by the Department of Military Weapons of the Ministry of Industry, and after they are forged, they are sent by the Ministry of Household Affairs to check the numbers and finally collected in the Ministry of Military Affairs warehouse.

Xue Ke Yong was startled and frowned, "Are you saying that not only your Treasury Department is involved in this, but also the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Revenue?"

"Why else would I advise Commander Xue that it's best not to get involved in this matter." Han Shu calmly said, "Fortunately, this batch of weapons has not yet been shipped out of Wunderfang, once it is shipped out and leaks out, Commander Xue can't stay out of it even if he wants to."

Xue Keyou looked cold and steadfast, and Han Shu sighed: "Commander Xue should be clear by now, this is not something you can interfere with. You are a minister of merit, and you have been summoned by the sage to the capital, so if there are no accidents, your future career will be smooth sailing. If you can handle today's matter properly, you will certainly be appreciated by a nobleman in the court, and a promotion is inevitable."

"Master Han, I am not the only one who has seen today's matter." Xue Ke Yong stared at Han Zhou and said, "When I opened the box, the brothers under my command saw it, and those under you who were watching the warehouse also saw it."

Han circulated, feeling that his persuasion had already had an effect, and that Xue Ke Yong, who had said so, was already trying to conceal it, smiled and said, "The people under Commander Xue's command, with Commander Xue's prestige, can naturally keep their mouths shut. You can tell them that not even you, Commander Xue, can get involved in this matter, let alone them. Whoever leaks the news, not only his own life will be in danger, but I am afraid his family will also be implicated. As for my subordinates, I know how to silence them."

"Is Master Han so confident that he can block the news?"

"As long as you and I work together, this won't get out of Wunderfang." Han Wu smiled, "Don't worry, as long as your men keep their mouths shut, this side will pay them a hush money."

Xue Ke Yong hesitated for a moment and finally asked, "Master Han, this matter involves the three ministries, and naturally there are many people involved in this matter. I would like to know who has the ability to make the three Yamen departments work together to do such a big job. Who is this nobleman you speak of?"

"Commander Xue, with all due respect, the less you know about this matter, the better." Han Chuan said seriously, "What we need to do now is to transport these weapons back to the warehouse, then the next official will personally select the best weapons for you, and after the shipment, you will return to Yu Prefecture with the weapons and everything will be fine. I can assure you that in less than half a year, you will be promoted."

Xue Ke Yong sighed: "Master Han, this general discovered these broken swords today, but hid them for you, and in the future the East Window will be discovered by the sage, and I will not be able to report it, so this head can never be saved."

"You don't have to worry." Han Shu was very confident: "This will not be known by anyone and no one will get the evidence to report to the sage."

Xue Ke Yong said, "I am a coarse man, and my words and actions are never on the table. If I don't even know who the nobleman is, how can I be sure that this matter won't come to light? You said that I will be promoted, not to hide from you, I really want to move up a promotion, but whether the noble person you said can really promote me, just a few words from you, I still can't believe." Raising his hand and stroking his thick beard, he said, "Master Han, I will trust you, and you must also trust me, who is the nobleman behind this matter?"

Han Zhu shook his head and said, "Who is your nobleman, naturally, you can't tell me from my mouth, this is the rule. If Commander Xue doesn't believe it, and he doesn't get promoted in half a year, he can just come to the capital and look for me." "What's the use of looking for you then?"

"What's the use of looking for you at that time?" Xue Ke Yong may seem reckless, but he is obviously very calculating: "When I leave, you will deal with the traces immediately, and then I will have no evidence to hand, and will not be promoted.

Han Shu frowned and said, "You don't trust your servant?"

"How can I trust you if you don't even want to reveal to me who the nobleman behind the curtain is?" Xue Keyong's eyes were cold and steely.

Han Zhuyu hesitated, but Xue Ke Yong had already lowered his voice: "Master Han, I will help you conceal it today, we are all in the same boat, although you think it will not happen, but there is no sure thing in this world. If you want me to put my head on the line to conceal it, you should let me know who I'm working for." Looking into Han Zhuyan's eyes, he faintly said, "At least you, Master Han, aren't enough to make me carry my head to work."

"Commander Xue, I'm really sorry, other things are easy to say, but your identity, that must not say a word." Han Shu was very determined.

Xue Ke Yong nodded his head and said, "Understood." With a sharp turn, the iron armor clicked and lifted a step, rushing the fleet, "Go, to the Ministry of War .....!"

Han Ru was shocked, thinking that he had been talking for half a day, but Xue Ke Yong was indifferent, knowing that the temper of these soldiers is stinky and hard.

Han Shu loosened his grip, bit his teeth, and whispered, "I can tell you, but you must swear to keep your mouth shut and never reveal a word to the public."

"Yes!" Xue Ke Yong nodded slightly, and Han Zhu leaned over and whispered in Xue Ke Yong's ear, who was startled at first and then locked his eyebrows.

"Commander Xue, you now know why your servant advised you not to get involved." Han Zhou was satisfied with Xue Ke Yong's expression and said proudly, "That nobleman is not someone you can afford to offend."

With a faint smile and not much to say, Xue Ke used to return directly to his own mount, turned his horse over, and waved his hand, "Go!" But instead of letting the caravan return to the arsenal, it was to leave Wude Fang directly with the caravan.

Han Zhuyu's face changed immediately, quickened his steps and came forward, saying urgently, "Commander Xue, what do you mean by ..... What do you mean?"

"It's no fun." Xue Ke Yong said indifferently, "It's just that I have to go to the Ministry of Warriors to pay my respects to Dou Bu Tang, and I can't just leave without saying a word after receiving the weapons this time."

But the guard of the armed guard battalion had already stopped the fence, and the captain said in a deep voice, "Commander Xue, the official letter is not stamped, and you may not leave with your weapons."

"Found it, found it!" The first thing I noticed was that I was a little bit too busy to get out of the car, but I did. I went to the A Treasury Department this morning to change my clothes, and the official seal was placed inside, not on my body, but I just ran back to look for it, and indeed I found it." When he saw the captain with the official letter in his hand, he went forward and said, "Give me the official letter, I want to seal it."

Han Zhuyan did not expect Xue Ke Yong to go back on his word, nor did he expect that Xue Ke Yong would be informed of the nobleman's identity.

The official letter wasn't stamped, the convoy couldn't get out, and Qin Yi popped up just in time.

At the same time, the chief executive, who knew that the incident was caused by the young official, was shocked and angry when he saw Qin Xun holding the official seal and shouted: "Qin Xun, you ..... have the audacity to do this! You are so bold!"

The first time I saw it, I thought it was a good idea for me to get a copy of the official seal, but I didn't. I didn't look up at all, and took the small official seal and stamped a bright red seal on the official letter. He also bowed deeply to Xue Ke Yong and said, "Commander Xue, the official letter has been stamped, and the car only contains the armaments of the A-character Treasury, and the other three treasuries of armaments and harnesses have not yet been collected, so you can walk out of this door with the seal of your subordinate."

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