Chapter 152 Dark Cavalry Division
Chapter 152 Dark Cavalry Division
The purpose of going out was to seek wealth, so the two young men did not get angry.
He took off the bag on his body, took out a palm-sized piece of ore and handed it over.
Meteorites not only have a high iron content, but also contain other metals.
Therefore, the specific gravity of such ore is relatively much higher.
The man in the shop first weighed it in his palm, and then looked at the cut carefully.
"How dare you two cowards use fake meteorite iron to deceive Grandpa Kuang!!!"
His tone was unfriendly, but he didn't seem annoyed.
"The ore has a high iron content, but it's definitely not a meteorite. However..."
There was a cunning look in his eyes, as if he wanted to squeeze the person in front of him dry.
"Uncle, this is us..."
"Shut up! I'm from the Dark Cavalry Division. This is the territory of the Great Zhou. Selling iron ore without permission is a crime. Come with me."
Suddenly, a loud shout came from behind the two of them, and then the person who came in held the cards in his left hand and tightly grasped the hilt of the knife with his right hand.
"Sir, it's none of my business. These two guys came to ask me to see them."
The middle-aged man in the shop was also afraid when he saw the officials. Although this was a place without the management of the county government, these people holding tokens could do evil.
"If you have anything to say, let's talk about it after we get to the county government office."
The Dark Cavalry officer continued calmly.
"What kind of county government office is this? Could it be..." The middle-aged man in the shop thought to himself, he even suspected that the person in front of him was not an official.
"Gentlemen, there is no county government office in Yang County now. May I ask where you are from?"
"Asshole, the Dark Cavalry Division is under the control of the Imperial Palace. What right do you, a commoner like you, have to question it?"
"The Imperial Palace? It's quite large, but how could such a big shot as you appear in our small border county?"
The middle-aged man in the store was obviously trying to stir up hatred and get more people involved.
In Yang County, there are not only people from the Dark Cavalry Division, but also spies from enemy countries and even some secret guards of merchants.
"Dark Cavalry?" A beggar beside a tree's eyes lit up and he looked in the direction of the quarrel.
The beggar was not very old, about fifteen years old. Although his clothes were tattered and his face was covered in dirt, if you looked closely, you would find that it was all disguise.
His name was Gongmen Yiding, and he and Gongmen Jiadi and others were lurking here, a total of twelve people.
Gongmen Jiadi was walking around the market with an old man, and received a secret message by blowing a leaf in his mouth.
"Teacher, let's go over and take a look. It seems there's something going on up ahead."
The teacher's name was Gongsun Mao. He looked thin, with gray hair on his temples, but his face was ruddy.
In fact, his original name was Sun Mao. He was a famous swordsman in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but he liked to kill people with poison, so he did not have a very good reputation in the world.
Li Xin had saved him once and was originally arranged to serve beside Zhao Sheng.
How could Zhao Sheng feel at ease with such a vicious person around? It just so happened that his group of orphans needed to be taught, so the entire public group was handed over to Sun Mao.
Sun Mao knew that his reputation was not very good, so in order to integrate with these children, he changed his name to Gongsun Mao.
"Let's go and take a look. Don't do anything unless it's absolutely necessary."
"I understand, master."
Gongmen Jia agreed in a low voice and followed his master.
The middle-aged man in the shop obviously succeeded in his plan.
It was a dull and boring little place, but with something lively to watch, people gathered around in no time.
"What is the Dark Cavalry Division? Is it just a fabricated identity?"
"I've lived in the Great Zhou for so many years, and I've never heard of an organization called the Dark Cavalry Division."
"They must be bandits!"
Each of them has become a shrewd person, thinking that they are knowledgeable, but in fact they just want to watch the fun and not mind getting involved.
The core of the Dark Cavalry Division is the word "dark". This is all out in the open, so why is it still called the Dark Cavalry Division?
I thought I just had to show my ID card, but I never expected this to be the result.
Several people wanted to leave and get away from their current troubles.
Unexpectedly, I was surrounded by people, and what was even more infuriating was that the people in the shop were unreasonable.
"Damn it!" A member of the Dark Cavalry tried to draw his sword.
He was held down by another person and told not to act rashly.
"Look, these people are still trying to draw their swords. Let's all attack together and kill these bastards."
"Shut up!" Gongsun Mao saw that these onlookers were not good people, so he waved his sleeves. In an instant, the air became gray and everyone became quiet.
Gongmen Jiadi knew that it was poison, but he didn't know what it was.
He covered his mouth and nose in a panic, and when he saw a group of people pointing and talking, he couldn't make a sound.
Seeing this, the people from the Dark Cavalry Division fled in panic.
The people in the shop pointed at Anqisi and wanted to say something, but no words came out.
Chen Zaocao and Wangcai also looked incredulous.
But in these turbulent times, I have long developed the mentality to remain calm in the face of difficulties.
Gongsun Mao pointed at the two of them, then made a gesture with his hand, indicating that they should follow him.
Chen Zaocao understood what he meant and took Wangcai away.
How could the middle-aged man in the shop give up such an opportunity to make a fortune? He stepped forward to stop the two men from leaving. Unexpectedly, Gongmenjia flicked his finger and a thin needle flew out, hitting the man's knee.
He knelt down with a plop. If you didn't know, you would think he was saluting.
But no one was allowed to speak, and everyone just waved their hands to indicate that they were welcome.
Chen Zaocao and the other man were taken to a remote, dilapidated house.
Gongsun Mao said, "Tell me, where did you get this iron ore?"
Wangcai felt somewhat displeased when he saw Gongsun Mao speaking in an arrogant tone.
"Hey! Old man, don't think you can speak louder just because you're old!"
Chen Zaocao was stunned when he heard this. Wasn't he unable to speak just now? How come Wangcai could speak now?
then.
"Please forgive me, elder. My words may be vulgar, but I don't mean to offend you."
Only after he opened his mouth did Chen Zaocao realize that he could speak, but he didn't know why.
"Tell me, don't force me to do it."
Wangcai wanted to get angry, but was stopped by Chen Zaocao.
"Senior, may I ask who you are?"
Gongmen Jia said, "Just know that we are from Dingzhou. Don't ask about anything else."
"Dingzhou?" Chen Zaocao understood. Someone from Dingzhou had come to the village to stay overnight before, probably because of the iron mine.
"Senior, we are Chen Zaocao from Wangjiatun, and this is Wang Cai from the same village. Our village belongs to Huaian Town. Unfortunately, this town has become deserted, and these meteorites can be found everywhere in the back mountain."
"Well, I understand. Don't transport these supplies to Yang County in the future, let alone to the Xiongnu. I know you. From now on, you will be my contact person in Dingzhou."
After saying this, Gongsun Mao took out a silver ingot and threw it to Chen Zaocao and the others, then said:
"This is the amount you get every month. It's just your salary. No matter what you do, you won't be treated unfairly."
Seeing the silver, the two were excited, but Chen Zaocao still said:
"Senior, it's useless for us to ask for silver. What we lack are daily necessities such as food and salt."
"I understand. This silver still has purchasing power in Yang County and is more useful than copper coins. Next time I send someone to look for you, I'll bring you food and some supplies.
Oh! Next time you pick up these ores, keep them at home and try to accumulate a cartload. The more the better. I will give you food or money."
There was such good news. After hearing this, Wangcai went straight forward and kowtowed to Gongsun Mao.
"You are my real father, and my mother who saves people from suffering!"
"Fuck, what's this kid's metaphor for? Could it be that your real mother is Guanyin?"
Gongsun Mao and Gongmen Jiadi were so frightened by Wangcai's behavior that they almost jumped up...
