Overlord the sky

Chapter 250 The Sixth Great Elder

If the inner ghost is not eliminated, the external troubles will never disappear.

With such thoughts in mind, Zheng Qian let the quartermaster tie him up with peace of mind.

With military supplies and combat preparations in hand, Huben will be greatly restrained during team battles.Although they are all from the same sect, who can guarantee that the same sect will do their best to escort the Huben Group?

Quartermaster Huya led the way, and then asked two sergeants to carry away a box of gold coins from the Yaozhuang.

Shopkeeper Wang bowed and smiled, and accompanied Huya out of the gate of Yaozhuang.The shopkeeper of the Li family's "medicine" village opposite had piercing eyes, looking at the big box carried by the two sergeants behind the quartermaster, with a pensive look on his face.

The area of ​​the east side of Winterfell is not small, and Huya's military supply department is some distance away from the commercial street of Wang and Li's family.After turning around the commercial street and walking to a place where no one was around, Huya ordered the two sergeants to put down the box.

He walked over and lifted the lid of the box, nodding triumphantly.

"That's right. Shopkeeper Wang is quite sensible this time. This time, the purchase of 'medicine' materials will increase the share of the Wang family."

When Huya said these words, he glanced at Zheng Qian who was being dragged forward by the sergeant.

Zheng Qian's body was tied with iron chains many times, around and around, even his hands were tied together.The other end of the chain was held in the sergeant's hand.Naturally, these sergeants are all from Huya in the Military Supply Department, and they have also benefited from Huya's benefits over the years. Without much external force, Huya is naturally a very good boss.

"This time I have to thank this kid, otherwise it is now in the middle of a strict investigation, and it would not be as easy for us to get some oil and water." Huya said again, and the sergeants behind him who looked like his confidantes all nodded. yes.

"Head, what should we do with this box of gold coins?" A sergeant asked.

"Take it back to the military supply department first, and when this kid's matter is finished, this box of gold coins will be kept in our military supply department as evidence." Huya said with a smile.

When several people heard this, they all showed great joy. They all understood the meaning of "reserve" very well, and Huya was eating the big head, and their share was indispensable.

"I'll go to the clan to report this matter to the higher authorities. After all, the Tiger Group is involved, and Hu Wei is not such a talkative person. It seems that I have to ask my uncle to take the lead in this matter."

"Boss, we will be responsible for escorting that kid back to the military supply department." Several people nodded.

They are all old men who purchase military supplies, and they don't have much experience in fighting, but they are very clear when it comes to things like human accidents.

Humen's tradition is also to separate military supplies from troops.The military supplies are provided by the localities, and the troops are only responsible for marching and fighting.So in a sense, the Huben Group is actually under the indirect control of Humen. Without the support of Humen, the Huben Group cannot move an inch.

Zheng Qian was escorted to the military supply office by the sergeants and thrown into a small cell.

The cells of the Quartermaster Department seem to be lined up with iron cages one by one.The iron cage Zheng Qian was thrown into didn't even have a bed, and it was only covered with a thin layer of messy grass against the iron bars thick as fists.

Zheng Qian sat on the grass.He quietly watched the development of the situation.

"Little brother, you are so young, why did you get caught?" A voice suddenly came from the cell next door.

Zheng Qian looked where the voice came from, and saw a man with shaggy white hair, about 50 years old, with a beard that was very messy and dense because he hadn't shaved for a long time, almost covering his face.

His eyebrows drooped at the corners of his eyes, and there was a touch of gray at the tip of his eyebrows. Together with his messy beard, he gave off the feeling of a wild man in the forest.

"Arresting people is divided into big and small?" Zheng Qian was surprised.

"Under normal circumstances, the people arrested by the Military Supply Department are all related to gold coins. As a young man, you should not have much conflict of interest. How could you be arrested?" The man also asked curiously.

"Are you brought in because of money?" Zheng Qian looked at the other party.

"That's right. I was arrested because of money. Counting the time, it has been more than ten years now." The man seemed to be emotional.

"More than ten years? What did you commit? It seems serious?" Zheng Qian has nothing to do now anyway, and is going to listen to stories to pass the time.

"A crime? I've never committed a crime, it's just because the position I'm sitting in makes people covetous." The man smiled wryly.

"Oh? Talk about it."

"I am the former quartermaster of Huya, and I am also from Humen. My name is Hupingchuan. Little brother, have you heard the name Huwei?"

Zheng Qian was startled, "I heard, why do you have something to do with him?"

"When I was arrested, he was just a general of the Huben Regiment. That kid has been extremely powerful since he was a child. At that time, I thought he would achieve great things in the future. Hehe, my vision is still good. Now I heard that he is the head coach of the Huben Regiment?"

Zheng Qian nodded, "Since you know Huwei, why didn't he rescue you?"

"Rescue? How? This is the law of the family. Although Huwei is the head coach of the Huben Regiment, he is only a junior in Humen, and it is not his turn to speak."

Zheng Qian understood that the Humen in the East City and the Duan Clan in the North City are actually the same. The seniors and young are orderly in the aristocratic family. Although Hu Wei is the head coach of the Huben Regiment, he is just a rising star in the family.

"How did you get in?" Zheng Qian became interested.

"Well, it's a long story. But I can't explain it clearly. The main reason why I can sit in the position of the chief of the military supply department is because of the merits of the three elders in Humen. You know, as long as I can achieve this position It's normal to be given some gifts. But I'm cautious, and I don't dare to accept big gifts. But I was reported by Huya. In my residence, I found four boxes of gold coins buried in the ground. As much as one million. So I was arrested and brought in. Fortunately, the three elders were there to protect me so that my head would not fall to the ground. The three elders also knew that I was wronged, but they were both dirty and captured, so they couldn't explain it clearly. "

Hu Pingchuan just sighed softly, it seemed that the past ten years of imprisonment had already smoothed his spirit.

"Could it be that there is no one in Humen who can clearly check the truth? No one can avenge you?" Zheng Qian frowned.

He saw the infighting in Humen.This is a common problem of aristocratic families, and Humen couldn't escape it.

The last thing Zheng Qian wants to happen is infighting, but these things go hand in hand, and he can see them everywhere.Wherever there are people, there is struggle. This is true, but the situation is different now. If there is another internal struggle, the battle between Winterfell and the imperial capital will undoubtedly be lost.

"Tiger...Senior, have you ever thought about punishing the murderer who framed you?" Zheng Qian said.

Hu Pingchuan shook his head.

"Little brother, I see that you are also from the Humen. You should be a soldier in the Huben Regiment. If the murderer can be punished, the third elder has already taken the lead for me. It has been so long now, and the position of the Huya Military Supply Department has been secured. As long as He entertained me with delicious food and drink, so let him sit in that seat."

"You mean Huya put the blame on you?"

"Who else could there be besides him? Besides, Huya belongs to the Great Elder. The Great Elder and the Third Elder have always been at odds. The Great Elder borrowed this incident from me to make the Third Elder lose face in the clan. His faction The characters are very strong now. Only the second elder is not partial to the gang, and Hu Wei is a member of the second elder's line, so his position as the coach is also very stable."

Zheng Qian's scalp felt a little numb when he heard what Hu Pingchuan said.These mature old things are very difficult to deal with, and Duan Feng has a precedent there.If it weren't for the situation, Zheng Qian didn't want to get involved in Humen's family affairs.But in the current situation, he couldn't ignore it.

"Senior Hu, since you are an acquaintance of Huwei, then I have to take care of this matter." Zheng Qian said in a deep voice.

"Little brother has a serious tone. Haha, I really envy the heroism of young people. It's a pity that I have spent too much time in this prison, and I have long since lost this pride." Hu Pingchuan said with some sadness.

"Don't worry, leave this matter to me." Zheng Qian didn't mean to be joking, "I will let him out."

"Okay! Little brother, I believe in you." When Hu Pingchuan said this, he only accepted Zheng Qian's intention.But there was almost no sign of belief in his tone.

Zheng Qian fell silent.He waited for everything to come.

Not long after, Huya led a group of people over from the passage made of iron cages.

Huya came to Zheng Qian's prison door.

"Hehe. I didn't expect that it was you who was caught today, the usual envoy." When Huya mentioned the envoy, he didn't show the slightest respect.

"Your news is very fast. Yes, I am the envoy of the gods. How about it, should you let me go now?" Zheng Qian said.

"Whether you let it go or not, it doesn't matter if I say it, it's up to our Great Elder to say it. For you, the Great Elder went out of customs and came to the military supply department. I will take you to meet the Great Elder now. You'd better be honest a little."

"I'm so proud of myself." Zheng Qian sneered.

"Let's go." Huya winked, and a soldier opened the cage, but Zheng Qian's handcuffs and feet were tied, and he didn't loosen them.The soldier picked up one end of the iron chain from the ground, dragged Zheng Qian out of the cage.

Walking in front of Huya, the guard dragged Zheng Qian and disappeared into the cell after a while.

"God...God's envoy!" Hu Pingchuan muttered to himself, with a stunned expression on his face, "This little brother is actually a god's envoy? I'm so blind!"

Hu Pingchuan slapped himself hard.If it is a divine envoy, then everything that Zheng Qian promised him is very possible.

Zheng Qian was taken by Huya to the government office of the Military Supplies Department.

In the inner hall of the government office, Zheng Qian saw an old man sitting as firmly as a mountain.

The old man has white hair and a childlike face, with bright eyes, domineering but not 'showing', and looks like an outsider.The old man had a solemn face, his eyes were slightly closed, and he seemed to be meditating.When the old man saw Zheng Qian and his party walking in, he slowly opened his eyes.

Zheng Qian is a third-level tyrant, and he can detect the strength of any tyrant level.But Zheng Qian couldn't find out the strength of this old man.

"Are you that envoy?" The old man asked Zheng Qian, who was bound by handcuffs and feet.

"It doesn't matter if I'm an envoy or not, I just want to ask you, what do you plan to do to me?" Zheng Qian looked coldly at the old man who couldn't see the details clearly.

"What should I do? Of course it is in accordance with the law. Do you think I am a person who violates the law?" The old man laughed.

"Well, if you follow your law, what should you do to me? I don't have much time to spend here, and I still have a lot of things to do." Zheng Qian said.

"Want to leave? Hehe, it's easy too. But my military supply department in Humen is not where you can come whenever you want, and you can leave whenever you want."

"Let me ask you, are you setting up a private court? It's just that I have some crimes. If you come here alone, how can you embarrass the other two elders?" Zheng Qian sneered.

There was some anger on the elder's face.He didn't see the envoy or something, and thought it was just a joke spread by rumors.There is no such thing in this world.Now that Zheng Qian is only a third-level tyrant, he is even more convinced of his previous thoughts.

He came to Zheng Qian to confirm the identity of the envoy.The three elders of Humen are all very high-ranking people, it is impossible for them to come down for an ordinary soldier.

"Hehe. Don't worry, I don't bother to ask about your affairs anymore. Huya is in charge of this place now, and Huya will handle it with full authority. Whether you can get out or not depends on Huya's wishes." The Great Elder turned to Huya Played a wink.

The meaning of the Great Elder is obvious, now that the identity is established, there is no need to show mercy.
