Chapter 1988 Polishing Armor, Masked Man(2/2)
The manager of the workshop was chattering and talking in the wind, feeling somewhat aggrieved.
"I'm asking you...why did you do this? Was there someone who ordered you to do this?" Cao Hong rolled his eyelids and stared at the workshop manager expressionlessly.
"Ah...ah?" The workshop steward rolled his eyes twice.
"Why did you do this? Did someone instigate it?" Cao Hong asked in a low voice again.
The manager of the workshop shivered, "His! Hiss, there's something cold..."
Cao Hong nodded slightly, "So, who ordered it?"
"Ah? He Leng... He Leng..." The workshop manager looked at Cao Hong longingly.
"You don't know who he is?" Cao Hong asked, "Then he comes to your house with his face covered? Then he threatens the lives of your family members..."
The workshop manager nodded repeatedly, his nose, tears and sweat and blood trembling on his face: "Hiss! If you ask for hiss, I will support you..."
Cao Hong nodded, "Very good, very good. You finally told the truth... Since you told the truth, I won't offend your family..."
The manager of the workshop struggled and seemed to want to say something, but in the end he said nothing and collapsed on the ground.
Cao Hong stood up and walked out.
Cao Fu signaled to the guards around him, and then followed Cao Hong.
"Father..." Cao Fu hesitated, "Are you looking for "that person" now?"
Cao Hong shook his head and said, "No, this fault is mine...I will explain everything to the lord...but..." As he said that, Cao Hong looked back, then turned to Cao Fu and said, "
What do you think about this?"
"The child thinks that it must be caused by the corruption and incompetence of the workshop manager..." Cao Fu replied, "The blame must be on him, so how can it concern his father?"
Cao Hong chuckled, "You... think about it again..."
After taking another two steps, Cao Hong looked at Cao Fu's somewhat confused look and said, "If it's just one or two things, no one may know what this damn guy did, but there are so many, up and down, who have handled them."
I wonder why no one said anything? Huh?』
"Think about it, maybe this person can deceive others inside the workshop, but what about outside the workshop?" Cao Hong continued, "Did the manager of the workshop personally go to the hussars' place to purchase these armors? How about transporting them along the way?"
You know, these things are not small items... Could it be that everyone was blinded along the way?"
Cao Fu's eyes widened.
"Think about it again, since it takes more than three or two days to polish the armor plate, why did no one report the strange behavior in the workshop during such a period of time? Since the armor plate can be leaked, it means that someone must be involved.
His hands and feet..." Cao Hong sneered and said, "Hehe, hehe... If this matter is inappropriate, report it to someone as early as possible, as this person said, what's the harm in spending some time with the craftsmen in the workshop? At most, that's it.
It’s just to investigate this person, and he’s just being scolded by some lords! What can outsiders gain?! At this time, the armors are all scattered outside, and even some remedies cannot be done. Only when you know this! Don’t you feel this?
Is this weird...』
Cao Fu was stunned for a moment, and then said after a while: "Could it be...could it be...Xun Lingjun..."
Cao Hong shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily true...perhaps, he was also kept in the dark...we only found out recently..."
"Ah?" Cao Fu didn't understand.
Cao Hong frowned a little, but facing his son, he felt that he still needed to make it clearer: "First, Xun Lingjun did this, what's the benefit? Second, if it was really what he did, how could it be so shallow? Third, it was Xun Lingjun who did this."
Well, with Xun Lingjun's ability, he can only stay still. If he moves and gets up, I'm afraid... Haha, the government and the public are already noisy at this time, and no one knows about it! How can you and I easily hunt down this person?
Can you live in it?"
"It should be noted that Xun Lingjun is Xun Lingjun, and the Xun family is the Xun family..." Cao Hong said in a deep voice, "My lord, in order to prepare military supplies, ordered the levy of grain and grass from the two states of Hebei and Henan... Here, there are not only the Xun family, but also the various ethnic groups in Yingchuan.
Ah...it just so happens...Hehe, hehe, I heard that in Jizhou, the Qinghe County Magistrate, hehe..."
"Understood? This time... what these guys are staring at is not actually armor... or rather, not entirely armor..." Cao Hong looked at Cao Fu and continued, "I told you to stop talking to those people who talk about it every day."
You still don’t want to hear about beautiful guys coming and going... Let me ask you, if your father is like what your so-called friends want, and regards money as a fool, and ignores money matters, then... who
To take care of it? Hmm?』
Cao Fu was stunned and looked at his father.
Cao Hong also looked at Cao Fu calmly.
Cao Hong was greedy for money and even showed it very obviously, but many people did not notice that when Cao Cao really needed money, Cao Hong was very willing to pay for it.
"The hussar general is strong and has the advantage of his armor, but all his craftsmen have failed?" Cao Hong patted Cao Fu on the shoulder and said, "If this matter is publicized, these craftsmen will obey the law... Lord
If we need soldiers and armor again, who should we look for? If one day, the Cao family's money and food are controlled by others, and the craftsmen's workshops also need to depend on others. Haha, who do you think the Cao family's children are spilling blood on the battlefield for?
Who gets the big profit?!』
When Cao Hong said the last sentence, his eyebrows stood up.
"Father..." Cao Fu looked at Cao Hong and lowered his head guiltily. He had muttered before that because of Cao Hong's greed for money, he was sometimes ridiculed by the second generation of the Xiahou family of the Cao family, so he
Sometimes I resent Cao Hong and feel that if Cao Hong was not greedy for money and didn't care about those things, naturally there would be no such ridicule...
