Chapter 1713 Sending Out the Weapons
Shu Yu, "..." couldn't stand it anymore. An eighty-year-old mother? So you're a child born late in life?
She coughed lightly. "Alright, let's get down to business."
"Oh, right." Qin Kun wiped away non-existent tears, raised his head and said to the bound people, "I advise you to repent and reform. This black market is no good place. If you confess everything, you can get the same good treatment as me."
As he spoke, he noticed a few timid eyes darting around, and knowing he was getting a chance, he became even more energetic. "I'm free to move around now, and I don't have to worry about my life. We're all young, right? There's no need to risk your lives for this black market, it's not worth it. Think about your families, think about your future, ah."
Before he could finish speaking, the person who had just been cursing him stood up again, "Shut up, you..."
Meng Yunzheng drew his sword and thrust it forward. The man fell to the ground with a thud, his body shuddered, and he couldn't get up.
The others stared wide-eyed, so frightened they wanted to huddle together.
But it has to be said that after making an example of him and Qin Kun's persuasion, two people actually spoke up in a low voice, "I, I know that there is a secret room in Master Fu's room, and there should be a lot of things hidden in it."
"I know that one of Boss Ke's trusted men has a mistress at the Wan Hua Lou in the city."
With someone taking the lead, these people, who were not loyal to begin with, immediately racked their brains to tell everyone the information they knew.
Don't underestimate these seemingly insignificant and unimportant underlings; even a small leak can sink a great ship. They know quite a bit of information. Although it may not be any major clue, they can always extract one or two useful pieces of information.
Finally, someone confessed that two people were hiding in a wardrobe on the third floor.
Very well, Master Yang immediately took a few young men to arrest the man.
Meng Yunzheng's attitude towards those who cooperated was indeed better, but there were also those who refused to confess and instead threatened those who had defected. He directly dislocated their jaws, tied their hands and feet, and kept them under strict surveillance.
Having asked all the necessary questions, Meng Yunzheng then took Shu Yu to see the armory.
The black market's armory was on the third floor, behind a council chamber that even junior stewards were not allowed to enter; it was very well hidden.
Very few people know about this place; at least none of the low-level thugs downstairs have ever seen it.
Shu Yu looked at the armory piled up crammed together in front of him and clicked his tongue twice. "Swords, spears, halberds, bows and arrows, and catapults. What are they doing? Planning to attack a city?"
Although the catapult wasn't large and there was only one lift, its presence here was indeed chilling.
Meng Yunzheng ran his fingers over the weapons and sneered, "Perfect, these things can be sent to General Huang."
"That's a good idea, but... how do we deliver it?"
They were in the black market; the catapults were difficult to move and couldn't be taken away, so they gave up on that. They could take the other weapons—swords, spears, and halberds—but where could they take them?
The black market has two entrances, one leading to Chenggu County, but the county seat is under the control of the county magistrate.
Another entrance is outside the city, so delivering it to General Huang from outside the city would be feasible.
But they were unfamiliar with the area outside the city, and they didn't know where General Huang was at the moment. They were more likely to encounter those people posing as bandits in the black market before they even saw General Huang.
