Chapter 311 Big Deal]
Moreover, if Qu Wenmin had privately made firearms and given them to Dayu soldiers to use in order to deduct the military fodder and weapons funds allocated by the court, it would have been fine.
This place is located at the border with Beirong. If he sells it to Beirong privately, then his sin will be even greater!
Xiao Yunshuo's expression turned grim.
I originally thought that Qu Wenmin was just guarding a place, relying on the fact that the emperor was far away to act tyrannically and lawlessly, but I didn't expect... that he was quite courageous!
Qin Guihong led Xiao Yunshuo through the valley and pointed out the warehouses built against the mountain to Xiao Yunshuo one by one.
These warehouses are filled with finished firearms.
At this moment, someone was carrying a box of something out of the workshop and walking towards the warehouse.
Someone clumsily dropped the box on the ground.
When the people around him saw this, they were so scared that they quickly covered their heads and ran away.
Fortunately, nothing happened.
One of the leaders couldn't help but curse, "Li Laosan, if you want to die, go do it yourself, don't drag us down with you! What the hell is this thing? If you let it fall like that, if it explodes, I don't think you'll even have a complete body!"
Li Laosan, who was scolded, apologized repeatedly.
The leader shouted, "Be careful and quick! This is a big deal! If it goes through, we brothers can follow the boss and leave this poor, barren mountain village and go to the prosperous capital to enjoy the best food and drink!"
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but show a longing expression on their faces.
Li Laosan approached him frivolously and asked, "Boss, will you have a wife by then?"
The leader looked at him with disdain and sneered, "Look at your lack of talent! What's the point of having a wife? As long as the courtesans see the glittering gold in our hands, they will all rush to serve us immediately."
This made everyone feel more excited and look forward to it.
Xiao Yunshuo couldn't help but frown slightly, and an idea flashed through his mind.
The scale of the warehouses and mining here appears to have been going on for at least five years.
But what these people said just now seemed as if they would all withdraw after completing this last job.
In other words, Qu Wenmin plans to abandon this hideout.
But, is he stopping early because he is afraid of the truth being exposed, or does he have other intentions?
Qin Guihong had been here for three years, so he greeted these people very familiarly and said with a smile, "Brother Biao, is Li Laosan causing trouble again? I hunted some game and borrowed the help of a kid guarding the valley. Now I'm going to live in the kitchen to make sure everyone has enough food so they have the strength to continue working, right?"
Upon hearing this, the leader, known as Brother Biao, licked his lips greedily and said with a smile, "You're really smart, kid! You're the only hunter in the whole village who's good at hunting! Go ahead, but remember to be careful with the fire. Don't let anything go wrong, or none of us can afford it!"
Qin Guihong smiled and said, "Brother Biao, I'm not Li Laosan, don't I know that? Just relax!"
As he spoke, he quickly took Xiao Yunshuo out of the mining and firearms workshop warehouse area and went to the simple kitchen a little further back.
While the two men were packing wild game such as rabbits and pheasants, they were secretly observing their surroundings without making any noise.
Qin Guihong whispered, "Qu Wenmin is quite cautious. The people here are only responsible for mining and making firearms. Even the deputy general in charge doesn't know the specific buyer. However, this time I heard that the buyer will show up in person, so the truth will soon be revealed."
