Chapter 375
When Sun Xin returned to the camp from Qingzhou Mansion, he saw people making noise in the camp. He subconsciously felt that something was wrong, so he hurried forward with Wu Song, and saw three people dressed as officers leading the crowd. A few sergeants were discussing with Sun Li and several officers of the Protection Army.

Sun Xin hurried forward.

He recognized two of them as Han Tao and Peng Qi, and a young officer who looked 30 years old.

Han Tao and Peng Qi were arguing there, while the other young officer was looking at the rifled gun held by a guard soldier next to him, his eyes sparkling.

Seeing Sun Xin appearing, Sun Li and others all looked at him. Sun Xin hurriedly stepped forward, said hello to Peng Qi and Butou, and asked, "I wonder if you two are not in the army now, but you are here with us?" What are you doing at camp?"

He looked at the young officer next to him again, and said with a smile, "This military lord is very fresh."

Han Tao and Peng Qi glanced at each other. They knew that Sun Xin was rich, so he didn't want to be too shameless, so he pointed to Ling Zhen who was next to him and introduced, "This is the deputy envoy of the Imperial Army of the Bianliang Mansion. The sky is thundering and thundering."

Hearing Ling Zhen's name, Sun Xin could probably guess what they were here for.

He couldn't help frowning slightly, he was most afraid that his exposure of wealth this time would attract the covetousness of these people and disrupt his plan, but unexpectedly it happened.

Han Tao glanced at Ling Zhen who was looking at the rifled gun with glowing eyes. He and Peng Qi already had a calculation in their minds.

After they came to Qingzhou, the locals simply took whatever they wanted, relying on the power of Gao Qiu Taiwei's mansion, and the local officials in Qingzhou dared not say anything to them, although Sun Xin was a volunteer from the countryside who came to garrison troops from other places , but compared with the Qingzhou officials, they must still be much weaker.

Even if the book he wrote is famous, what right does he have to say when it comes to military and political matters?

Although they still don't know how powerful the rifled gun Ling Zhen said is, but since Ling Zhen said it is suitable, they will naturally conscript some.

Even if you don't need it before the battle, so many good irons can be melted down to sell ironware, which is a fortune.

As for Sun Xin?

Sun Xin was unlucky enough to reveal his wealth outside, and being robbed is just a normal thing.

Peng Qi stood up to face Sun Xin and said: "This time the army is going out, we need good weapons to use, and the collection of weapons in Qingzhou has already issued a notice. You are in Qingzhou, and you must have been in Qingzhou for such a long time." You know, how come there are such weapons, but the ones that are clearly suitable for the army are not brought?"

Seeing the clamor behind him, Sun Xin smiled, turned around and whispered to the farmer to call Du Cai.

On this side, he walked up to Han Tao and Peng Qi with a smile and said: "The firearms are not my property, they all belong to our Dengzhou Supervisory Committee. I am the leader of the Supervisory Committee, but I can't do it." Lord of the property of the Board of Supervisors."

Han Tao and Peng Qi had never heard such a statement. At the moment, they only felt that he was evasive, and they frowned instantly. First, they felt that Sun Xin didn't want to give things a little trouble, but they felt that Sun Xin declined the matter when he opened his mouth. Pushing everything to the supervisory committee was too confusing for them, and both of them were a little dissatisfied.

One of them was red-faced and the other was white-faced, and Peng Qi immediately became angry: "You are so ignorant, the army is going out to conquer Liangshan for the imperial court. Don't you want to support the army of the imperial court?"

"What kind of muskets do you use yourself, can it be better than the ones used by the imperial court and the army?"

At this moment, Sun Xin saw Du Cai coming from a distance.

Sun Xin and Sun Xin both turned around and greeted Du Cai with a smile.

He guessed just now that Du Cai knew what happened here, but this guy didn't show up just now to give Sun Xin a favor, and Sun Xinke went over to call and he really came.

Sun Xin greeted, Du Cai didn't pay attention to the three officers in front of him at all, walked over slowly, and put his hands on the three of them.

Han Tao, Peng Qi and Ling Zhen all looked at Du Cai, they didn't know who this young man who came suddenly was, why did he look so confident when facing them?

Sun Xin smiled and waved to Han Tao, and Han Tao stepped forward. Sun Xin introduced to Han Tao in a low voice: "This is Du Gong who came out of Chengxi Institute. Doing business together."

Hearing this, Han Tao took a deep breath instantly. Even though Han Tao was not from Bianliang, he had heard of the notoriety of the city west, so he glanced at Du Cai secretly. He originally thought that Sun Xin was a rich man. , and Shaobao will bring troops to Qingzhou to help the government and army suppress bandits. He happens to be a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered, but he didn't expect that this guy could have a relationship with the sky, and there are even eunuchs in the army. What you said just now on his face The momentum of the autumn wind is stagnant.

Although they came to the army to conquer Liangshan this time, they were assigned the orders of Gao Qi's Palace Marshal's Mansion, but no matter how extravagantly Gao Qiu is, can he extravagantly cover up the emperor?
Han Tao bowed slightly to Du Cai, who was full of arrogance and didn't even bother to smile.

Han Tao swallowed, but did not dare to make any unnecessary gestures.

Sun Xin smiled inwardly, and said: "This musket is indeed something in the supervisory committee. I have no right to transfer it to the army without permission. Moreover, the generals don't know that this thing is expensive. If it is sent out, there will be no wear and tear. Can’t shirk it either.”

"However, I can't say nothing about the army's departure. In this case, I will give the army three hundred stones of food and grass, all in the hope of our Dengzhou Supervisory Committee to serve the country."

The three hundred shi grains were originally sent by Sun Xin, but now Han Tao came to pick them up by himself, so he didn't need to make another trip.

Han Tao already had some intention of retreating in his heart, and Sun Xin gave him another step, and he hurriedly stepped down.

"In this way, I also know the difficulty of Zhuangzhu Sun."

The two walked back to Peng Qi and Ling Zhen, and Han Tao said directly to Peng Qi, "Okay, let's go, this Sun Zhuangzhu is indeed in trouble."

Both Peng Qi and Ling Zhen were very strange, Peng Qi had a hot temper, and quickly asked: "Let's go now, what about this gun?"

Han Tao didn't want to offend Du Cai. Since Sun Xin told him to give him a few hundred shi of food to save face, if he wanted to pester him again, it would be a toast instead of fine wine.

"Don't take it. Sun Zhuangzhu is not easy to explain here."

Peng Qi also guessed that Sun Xin must be looking for someone, but he was very dissatisfied with Sun Xin's attitude. Although Sun Xin didn't make any expression on the side, Peng Qi still felt that his indifferent appearance was mocking Own.

This Sun Xin didn't take himself seriously at all, which made Peng Qi, who was used to being domineering in Qingzhou City, very uncomfortable.

He suddenly smiled and said: "I can't give you a large number of guns, at least I have to bring dozens of guns for self-defense. I'm sure the master of this grandson will not refuse to give it. Ling Zhen, don't you also want to use this gun to study and study?" Just to talk to Mr. Sun Xinzhuang"

Hearing this, Han Tao couldn't help frowning. If Peng Qi said just now that he wanted a large number of firearms for military purposes, what's the point of waiting for one or two shots now, because he offended people for no reason.

Looking at Peng Qi who was jumping up and down in front of him, Han Tao instantly felt that this guy's mind was not very bright, and he thought that he should avoid this guy when he was on the battlefield, so as not to get himself involved.

"It doesn't make sense, let's go."

Han Tao didn't want to get involved with this stout, so he turned around and left.

Before Hu Yanzhuo left, he had classified Han Tao as an officer in charge of Qingzhou City. After he left, Peng Qi was not well, and he had nowhere to vent his anger, but he could only leave with Ling Zhen.

Looking at Sun Xin and others watching him leave, no one came up to see him off, Peng Qi felt more and more uncomfortable, thinking that he must punish Sun Xin if he had an opportunity.

At the same time, Ling Zhen kept turning his head to look at the rifled guns in the hands of the guards, with a look of reluctance.

Sun Li walked up to Sun Xin and said, "It's a good thing you're here, otherwise you'd have to lose your money today."

Sun Li knew how expensive Sun Xin's rifled gun was, and it was very useful on the battlefield, and it would easily arouse the fear of others after it spread.

Sun Xin looked back at Du Cai: "It's my credit, fortunately, Du Gong is here, otherwise these three would not be easy to send away."

Du Cai changed his unruly expression when facing Han Tao and the others, and smiled freely: "It's nothing to worry about, Mr. Sun has forgotten that I am also a member of the supervisory bank."

Sun Xin nodded. After what happened today, Du Cai has accepted the nomination certificate. If this guy has a chance to be promoted and leave Dengzhou, he will definitely not be with him, but it seems that if he stays in Dengzhou in the future, he should He will honestly choose to work in the Bank of the Supervisory Committee.

Hehe, as long as he stays for a few more years, when he really rebels, he won't be able to leave even if he wants to.

Sun Xin already planned to try to give Du Cai some work.

Only then did Du know that the two brothers were going to talk, so he laughed and said a few words, then consciously left.

Watching Du Cai walk away, Sun Licai said: "Brother, you are the first to make friends with the lower officials. You really have the foresight."

Wu Song, who was on the side, also came up to Sun Xin and said, "Yes, our Supervisory Committee has already achieved a great reputation. If there is no relationship to take care of us, I'm afraid we have already been targeted by the government. It is really a good move to win over the officials with bonuses."

Sun Xin quickly smiled and waved his hands. "Why are you flattering me so much today? My ears are soft. I'm afraid I'm going to float if I hear this more."

Everyone laughed, and then Sun Licai changed the subject: "But brother, you also need to be more careful. The imperial army and the regiment training in other places are not easy to get along with. Today, they were suppressed by the eunuchs, but they have high-level skills after all. With Qiu's backing, I'm afraid that when they win a big victory and return to court, they will come to trouble you again, even if you have official connections, they will still be able to overwhelm you with their military merits."
