"But...... If this can't be done, won't the tall village owner be hopeless? Isn't Childe going to have lifelong regrets? Shen Tan frowned.

Lin Jue smiled and said: "That's no way, I've already decided, just go to the black market to buy a dozen or twenty sets of equipment and send them to Funiu Mountain." After a year, I personally went to Funiu Mountain, fought side by side with them, and helped them kill the enemy. There are many things that I can't turn around alone, but I can only do this, I don't want to regret this in my life when I think about it, I do my best to be worthy of them. ”

"You go to the mountains? Isn't that a waste of time? It's not going to work, it's definitely not going to work. Shen Tanchang exclaimed with a red face.

"What else could it be? This is my last resort. I confessed to my life. I can't let people poke me in the back for the rest of my life and call me a treacherous. I can't spend my whole life in guilt. Lin Jue spread his hands.

Shen Tan's face turned red, he muttered for a long time, and suddenly gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and said, "That's it, I can't think too much about it now." Stick a knife in your friend's ribs, you Lin Gongzi can do it, but I can't do it? Lin Gongzi, I have a way here, maybe I can implement it. ”

Lin Jue was surprised: "What is Commander Shen's opinion?" ”

Shen Tan stepped forward and whispered: "There is a batch of weapons and armor in the palace warehouse, maybe think of a way, if you can get it out unconsciously, it can solve the urgent need." ”

Lin Jue was stunned when he heard this, and his heart blossomed. He hadn't even officially raised the matter, but Shen Tan did bring it up himself. He brought it up 10,000 times better than he did himself.

"This ...... Can it be done? Supplies from the palace? It's not easy to figure out. Commander Shen, don't take any chances, I don't want you to get into trouble. Lin Jue said in a low voice.

"Trouble is definitely trouble, it depends on how to do it. Shen is also the leader of the guards of the palace, and he still has some power in his hands. Maybe you can make a fuss. Shen Tan said softly.

Lin Jue asked in a low voice, "The materials in the palace warehouse should be counted. If this is done, won't it be difficult to hide it? ”

Shen Tan said: "It's really hard to hide, weapons and armor and other materials have to be made in the book, even if it's just one missing, it's all to explain the reason." ”

Lin Jue frowned and said, "That's really a little difficult. By the way, how many things are in the treasury of the palace? ”

Shen Tan thought for a while and said, "There are about more than 1,000 sets of weapons and armor." ”

Lin Jue felt strange and asked, "How can there be so many?" The three thousand palace guards are all equipped with a full set of equipment, what does the extra thousand sets mean? Even if the damage is replaced on a daily basis, it will not be so much. Doesn't that mean that these things are strictly regulated? How could it be allowed to exist in the palace? ”

Shen Tan said in a low voice: "Childe is a person who understands, and some of them are indeed replaced as daily wear and tear, and about two hundred sets are subordinate to this kind." The remaining 800 or so sets are old weapons and armor. According to the regulations of the imperial court, every three years, the weapons and armor of the palace guards should be replaced, and the Privy Council Ordnance Department will bring in new equipment for replacement, and the old armor and weapons that have been replaced must be registered and transported back to the Ordnance Department for recuperation or re-issuance, and then used for other purposes. ”

Lin Jue suddenly said: "So, these more than 800 sets of old equipment have been replaced, right?" ”

Shen Tan said: "Actually, it's like this. Originally, the equipment had already been replaced once last autumn, and the replaced equipment was also sent back to the Ordnance Division at the end of last year with the fleet that returned to Beijing with the prince and the little prince. The equipment of the palace guards was replaced en masse, and not only 800 sets were replaced, but 3,000 old ones. The reason why these 800 sets of old equipment are still in the warehouse is because the palace guards participated in the operation to exterminate the bandits a few months ago, and when they came back, they found that many weapons and armor were damaged, and some were missing. So two months ago, the Ordnance Division shipped in a new batch of them for replacement and replenishment. This is also a special replacement in special circumstances. The nearly 800 sets of armor and weapons that were replaced were temporarily stored in the treasury because of the small number. ”

Lin Jue finally figured it out, and secretly said that he was lucky in his heart. If it weren't for this year's anti-bandit operation, there would be no such things in the palace treasury. The old equipment that was replaced last year will be sent back to the capital at the end of the year, and if there is no way to suppress the bandits, there is nothing to be done.

"So, what does Commander Shen mean, let's make a fuss about these eight hundred sets of old equipment?" Lin Jue asked softly.

Shen Tan said: "It can only be like this, the other two hundred sets are new, but they can't be moved, and if they move, they will be easily noticed." But these 800 sets are no longer part of the palace, but are only temporarily kept in the palace, and they can only make a fuss about it. ”

Lin Jue pondered and was silent, and Shen Tan said in a low voice: "Childe, don't think that these are old ones that can't be used, in fact, they are only worn out, and some are indeed damaged, but when they are put together, there are still five or six hundred sets that can be used." The armor and weapons of our palace guards are all first-class good things. Even if it is the equipment of the official soldiers and horses of the border army, it may not be as effective as the old ones we use. These old things that we replaced were all sought-after goods when they were delivered to the border army, which is why the imperial court asked us to transport the old equipment we exchanged back to the capital and hand it over to the Ordnance Department every time. ”

Lin Jue nodded and smiled: "I'm not disgusted with the old. Can the equipment used by the palace guards be worse? Even if it's old, it's a good thing. I'm just thinking that these things are also numerous, and they are also registered, and they are not easy to move. If it is pulled out directly, it will definitely be exposed afterwards, so it will have to make a big mess. ”

Shen Tan thought for a while and said, "It should be fine in a short time, I estimate that this batch of old equipment will probably be sent back to the capital in two years together with the old equipment we will replace next time." If it is discovered, it should be two years later. ”

Lin Jue shook his head and said, "No, what will happen after two years?" Isn't it the East Window Incident? If you want to make a fuss, you must do it without flaws. It can't affect you, let alone involve the palace, and it must not be out of control. Think of a foolproof way to get your hands on things. ”

Shen Tan scratched his head and said: "Then what can be done, the things are in the palace treasury, and when they are brought out, I can only secretly order them to keep the trusted brothers secret." Could it be that you can still run to the palace and steal it out? If you have that ability, we can turn a blind eye, and it won't be a big deal to be convicted of dereliction of duty afterwards. ”

Lin Jue smiled bitterly: "How can I have the ability to steal hundreds of sets of equipment?" You just turn a blind eye, and these things have to be carried by a large number of people and vehicles. Are the palace guards all wood? With these thousands of people, can you still guarantee that they are all trustworthy to you? ”

"That's right. What should Lin Gongzi say? It's there, and I'm willing to take the risk, but there's still not much I can do. Shen Tan puffed out his eyes and said.

Lin Jue frowned and tapped on the table, thinking hard. Shen Tan sat aside and frowned and thought. The box was silent, and the sound of traffic outside could be heard from afar, as if in another world.

"Commander Shen, you just said that the Privy Council Weapons Department will order you to send the changed equipment to the capital, right?" Lin Jue broke the silence and asked.

"yes, didn't I just say that? The equipment is changed every three years, and it is sent to the city before the autumn replacement and handed over to the Ordnance Department for storage. Shen Tan said.

Lin Jue said: "Then why should this batch of 800 pieces of old equipment be temporarily stored in the palace? ”

Shen Tan said: "It was originally going to be transported away, isn't it a lot of quantity?" We had to send people to escort and use the ships and carts for transportation, and the Ordnance Department felt that it was not cost-effective to spend a lot of money for these 800 sets of old equipment, so they let us stay here temporarily. You know, even though it's only 800 pieces of old equipment, it's still the same to hire two big ships, one to load and one to guard. In this season, the river may not be accessible to the north of Chuzhou, and vehicles must be hired. Calculate the cost of at least a few thousand taels of silver. There are a total of 800 sets, which is only more than 10,000 taels of silver, and the freight cost is several thousand taels, which is really not cost-effective. The Ordnance Division is careful in its calculations, probably because he doesn't want to make such a sum of money. ”

Lin Jue groaned: "In this way, the freight is paid by the Ordnance Division, so they don't want to spend this unjust money." ”

"Exactly, this is all the expense of the imperial court. The guards of the Liang Wangfu are also soldiers of the imperial court, do you want the prince to pay this silver? ”

Lin Jue nodded and said, "What if the Weapons Division can not pay this silver?" Will they agree with you to take the initiative to send this batch of equipment to the capital? ”

Shen Tan was stunned and said, "What does Lin Gongzi mean by this?" ”

Lin Jue said: "You answer my question first, can you take the initiative to send this batch of materials to the capital." For example, if you want to go on a downwind boat or something, you don't need to spend money on weapons, will they be willing? ”

Shen Tan said: "Then of course they are willing, they can't ask for it." They don't have to spend money, and the rest of this fee will make a lot of money for a few people in charge. They want us to do that. You know, they don't get a tael of the money they spend on the road. Rather than this, it is better to save this silver, at least to have a good reputation for saving silver taels for the yamen. But if there is a chance to get this money in their hands, of course they are a hundred willing. ”

Lin Jue nodded and said, "Okay, then it will be their wish." Commander Shen, can you find a reason to request that this batch of equipment be sent to the capital. ”

Shen Tan was stunned: "What is your idea?" ”

Lin Jue said in a low voice: "Come here with your ears." ”

Shen Tan hurriedly stretched his neck to approach Lin Jue, Lin Jue whispered a few words in Shen Tan's ear in a low voice, Shen Tan's expression changed greatly, and he said in shock: "This ...... This...... It's too bold. ”

Lin Jue smiled: "Only in this way can all parties not be involved." Everyone is clean. ”

Shen Tan frowned and thought for a while: "But if you do this, I'm afraid you will still have to fight afterwards, after all, the thing is gone, this should be the responsibility of the Weapons Department or the responsibility of the palace." It's always going to be. ”

Lin Jue smiled: "It's very simple, let's admit the loss, and compensate according to the price." Silver, I'll come out, how much is how much, one or two silver is a lot of them, in this case, will the Ordnance Division still make a big fuss? They're not going to make a fuss. If the loss is made up, the matter will definitely be pressed, after all, the things are gone, and they will also be punished if they make trouble. ”
