Everyone is happy on Day 538
Lao Xie had no such worries and immediately asked with a smile, “Then how much have you embezzled?”
“Don’t worry about this, it won’t be enough for your order anyway!” The third prince finally didn’t lose his mind enough to say anything.
“You said you don’t have it?” Lao Xie curled his lips and said disdainfully: “I’ll tell you, if you don’t gather all the supplies on the list for me today, we will go to fight in front of His Majesty. Let’s go to court!”
“You, are you still being unreasonable?” The third prince said angrily: “I have already talked about this, why don’t you finish it yet!”
“Haha, how funny!” Lao Xie immediately said in a funny voice: “You, a corrupt criminal, are a reasonable person, but I, a person who promotes military supplies for the frontline soldiers, have become unreasonable?”
“This~” The third prince was immediately stopped by Lao Xie’s question. He wanted to get angry, but now he was in someone else’s hands, and there were two unsightly sword masters on his side to silence him. As a result, he had no choice but to admit defeat and said: “Okay, okay, little Stephen, I can give you all the supplies in my hand, but the numbers on your list are still different.” There’s a bit of distance, can you take a step back?”
“No need to talk!” Lao Xie sneered: “I’m here to ask for military supplies. This is business, not shopping for food on the street. There is no such thing as bargaining!”
“You~” the third prince immediately became angry, so angry that he shouted, “I really don’t have one!”
“Don’t come here!” Lao Xie said disdainfully: “This warehouse is so big. During the years you were in charge of this place, just a few random scraps were enough to send me away!”
“Do I have to spend money too?” The third prince said depressedly: “The things from before are gone long ago!”
“I don’t care! In short, the troops on the front line are fighting for the people of the whole continent, so we can’t let them starve to death, right?” Lao Xie said forcefully, “Anyway, you are just selling iron. You have to get it together for me!”
“Ahem!” The Gale Sword Master suddenly interrupted: “Your Highness, the military supplies for the frontline soldiers are undoubtedly the top priority, and we cannot delay it under any circumstances!”
“That’s right!” The Heavy Armored Sword Master also followed suit: “If the combat effectiveness of the frontline soldiers is affected due to military supplies, once the battle is defeated, the consequences will be disastrous! The sin will definitely be greater than losing all the inventory this time! ”
“This~” Upon hearing this, the third prince immediately hesitated.
When Lao Xie saw this, he immediately reminded him while the iron was hot: “Ahem, there is a saying. The wool comes from the sheep!” As he said that, he also glanced at Stanford on the ground.
The third prince was reminded by Lao Xie and immediately understood. Obviously, Lao Xie meant to ask him to find a scapegoat and ransack his house. According to the wealth of the nobles in the imperial capital, he only needed to slaughter a few fat sheep to make up for the losses. .
However. Although this method is good, it has huge hidden dangers, otherwise Lao Xie would not have given this idea to the third prince. Because if the third prince is really so ruthless, it will definitely chill the hearts of his nobles, and also make some nobles who originally intended to turn to him want to quit. Obviously. Once something like this offends a noble happens, it will have an extremely negative impact on his future fight for the throne.
But for the third prince, he had no way out. If he doesn’t agree to Lao Xie’s conditions, then he will definitely cause trouble in the city. The consequences were even more disastrous, and he still couldn’t save his men. Since there were losses on both sides, the third prince naturally had to choose a lighter loss.
So after some thought, he finally nodded helplessly and said: “Okay, I will help you get the supplies as soon as possible! Now you should call Stanford to me, right?”
“Not yet!” Lao Xie said calmly: “Because I don’t trust you!”
“What?” The third prince suddenly said angrily: “How dare you not believe me?”
“Nonsense!” Lao Xie said disdainfully: “You have deducted too much of our military supplies, and your credibility with me is zero! Who can guarantee that you are not perfunctory with me now? In case you admit it later, in my hands There are no witnesses, what can I do to you?”
“Then what do you think we should do?” The third prince couldn’t help but asked angrily.
“You must find a guarantor!” Laoxie said: “And it must be a guarantor I can trust!”
“Where can I find a guarantor for you?” The third prince immediately said angrily.
“Aren’t there two here?” Lao Xie glanced at the two sword masters.
“This~” the third prince heard. I had no choice but to say: “Teachers, can you be my guarantee?”
“Huh?” The Gale Sword Master and the Heavy Armor Sword Master were stunned when they heard this, and they thought to themselves, aren’t we trying to avoid this matter as much as possible? Why did you come back after a while? At the same time, they all glared at Lao Xie, fully expressing their dissatisfaction.
Obviously Lao Xie knew what they were planning, but he managed to get the two of them into trouble, how could he ask them to quit so easily? That’s why he had to force the third prince to ask them to be his guarantee. And once this guarantor is made. That would be fun. If the third prince honestly provides supplies. Lao Xie made a lot of money. But if he goes back on his word, it will be tantamount to greatly offending the two sword masters. I’m afraid that this will cause the two of them to fall out with him. In this way, no matter what the third prince does in the future, it will be in Lao Xie’s interests.
Although the Gale Sword Master and the Heavy Armor Sword Master were extremely reluctant to wade into this muddy water, after all, the third prince asked for help, and they could not refuse directly. In addition, the frontline military supplies were indeed extremely important, and They couldn’t help but ignore it. So in desperation, they could only hold their noses and agree.
Seeing the two agreed, Lao Xie immediately laughed and said: “Haha, I’m relieved then. Remember, I will give you five days to prepare. If the supplies are less after five days, don’t blame me for being rude! I I won’t look for you, I will take them directly to His Majesty for review, you can figure it out yourself!” With that said, Lao Xie walked away directly. Only three people were left in a daze.
Now that Laoxie is gone, the Gale Sword Master and the Heavy Armor Sword Master will certainly not stay for long. They immediately left and fled to give the Third Prince time to deal with the matter.
On the way back, the Gale Sword Master suddenly said to the Heavy Armor Sword Master, “Say, old man, why do I feel like the two of us were plotted by this kid today?”
“I feel the same way!” The heavy-armored sword master frowned and said, “Things are really strange. It seems that the military supplies on the front line have not been distributed. It has been almost two months, right?”
“Yes!” Gale Sword Master nodded and said: “It’s been more than two months!”
“This is strange!” The Heavy Armored Sword Master immediately said, “The military supplies have not been distributed for more than two months, and little Stephen has been serving as the quartermaster for more than a month, but he has never come to us before! But why? But when I looked for it, something like this happened!”
“Yes, what a coincidence!” Gale Sword Master also frowned and said: “From what Stanford said. It seems that the warehouses have been empty in the past few days, and I also checked those warehouses. It can be seen from the traces that there was something there a few days ago! If Little Stephen had come to us earlier, he would have probably taken away the supplies! But as soon as the things were gone, he came to the door. ”
“And this kid seems to be pushing this troublesome matter on us, intentionally or unintentionally!” said the heavy-armored swordsman.
“I feel it too.” Swift Wind Sword Master suddenly said, “That’s right. There is another thing that is more doubtful!”
“What’s the matter?” The heavy-armored sword master asked hurriedly.
“Didn’t you notice?” Gale Sword Master sneered: “The officials who manage the warehouse are all complete!”
“Complete?” The heavy-armored swordsman asked puzzledly: “What’s so strange about this? The warehouse is not a battlefield, do they have to be missing arms and legs to be normal?”
“That’s right!” Gale Sword Master sneered: “Don’t forget, little Stephen went to the warehouse manager first. He came to us because he had no other choice! With his temper, those warehouse managers If the officials dare not give him military supplies, will he reason with them?”
“Definitely not!” The heavy-armored sword master suddenly realized: “Yes, I understand. Just like the two generals under our command, one was offended by his words. He used magic to burn him into ashes, and the other was burned to ashes by his spell. One of them was just following orders, and he was fed by spiders. Thinking about it, he even dared to beat up the elf prince, so the temper of this kid was even worse than mine! If the warehouse officials dare to refuse his request, how can they be safe?”
“Yes, if you follow Little Stephen’s temper. Under normal circumstances, his approach would definitely be to beat the warehouse officials half to death, and it would be normal to even beat a few to death. Then he would directly lead the people to kill them. The warehouse was robbed! This is what little Stephen does!” Gale Sword Master then said: “But this time, little Stephen was embarrassed by a bunch of **** warehouse managers for a month, and then he came to complain to us. ! Is he still such a good-tempered person? ”
“Definitely not!” The heavy-armored swordsman’s eyes lit up and he said immediately: “It can be seen from this. This guy’s behavior is really abnormal. Thinking about the warehouse being robbed is also incredible, hehe. I said, There seems to be a conspiracy here!”
“It’s not a seeming thing, it’s a certainty!” Gale Sword Master then said with a bitter smile, “Oh, it’s a pity that I didn’t see it earlier! I really shouldn’t have gone to the warehouse today!”
“Yes!” The heavy-armored swordsman also smiled bitterly, “It’s over, it’s over, the two of us are finished. Not only did we participate in exposing the fraud in the warehouse, but we also acted as guarantors inexplicably! This little Stephen, It’s really shameful that we all were plotted without knowing it!”
“Alas!” The Gale Sword Master shook his head, and then said with a wry smile: “But this is in line with the tradition of the Stephen family. Their family has been shrewd people for generations, and they are the best at scheming others. It can be seen from this that the seemingly stupid man Young little Stephen is actually a very evil guy!”
“You can plot against us two sword masters at such a young age, what if you get older?” The heavy armored sword master said in a dumbfounded voice, “No, we have to be careful about him in the future!”
