Chapter 1296: 602 Scam (1/2)
After a short while, Wangxian dispatched Wangxian to see Deng Guan of the Xigle Mountain Mine. Xuanxuan received Wang Xianxuan's admonition and naturally told the other party that he was from Zhennan Wangfu. Although Deng Guanjue was in doubt, he immediately rushed.
It's been an hour and a half ...
That Deng Guanshi was a man in his forties, a brown robe, short and lean, with a savvy mustache on his face.
He was taken outside the house and waited, secretly looking into the house, looking at the Nangong Yu inside. Just now when he arrived at the post, he heard Wang Xianyu downstairs. The second son of Xiao Er came here intentionally. It is not easy to buy iron ore in the army ...
Nangong Yan just used dim sum, was receiving the tea from Bai Hui, rinsed his mouth, and said casually, ”Call someone in.”
Wang Xianzhang brought Deng Guanshi into the house. After saluting, he said respectfully: ”Son, this is Deng Guanshi of Fangjia Mine.”
Nan Gongxi responded casually, his gaze turned to Deng Guanshi, and he looked up and down, as if he had noticed his existence, and said, ”I heard that you are in charge of the mine on Siegler Mountain?”
”Yes, the second son.” Deng Guanshi took a step forward, and deliberately called the other party the second son. ”Little Master Wang said that the son wanted to purchase iron ore for the Southern Xinjiang Army. Military affairs naturally mattered, but ...”
When he heard the word ”just”, the faint smile on the corner of Nangong's mouth disappeared, his face turned like a book, and the whole face gloomed. She put away the fan sharply, and ”snapped” loudly and crisply in the room.
”My son is a munitions purchase, would you dare to refuse ?!” Nangong yelled with a loud voice and retorted. ”My son has long heard that merchants are greedy for profits. Some mines suspect that the price of military supplies is not high, so they use various excuses Sophistry! ”She said with a fan, pointing at the other side's nose.” Don't you think that your son dare not punish you for neglecting military affairs! ”
Seeing Shi Zifei's sister-in-law acting lively, Lily's heart was laughing so much that her stomach was hurting. This time, she really didn't follow Shi Zifei for a trip. It was so fun!
But she was still calm and even looked at Deng Guan with a disdainful look. The expression of that high toe seemed to be saying, You dare to crook in front of our son!
Seeing that the young man did not deny his identity, and that the people served by the house were also a matter of course, Deng Guanshi could finally be convinced that this really is Xiao Luan, Xiao Luan, that's not easy!
If the other party has to make things bigger, it will be very bad for yourself.
I still have to coax this Buddha back quickly!
”Second son, even if the little one ate the bear heart leopard, did you dare not neglect the military affairs and neglect the second son ?!” Deng Guanshi bowed his head and explained with a grin, ”The small meaning is because the mine just two days ago Send out a batch of iron ore, and the remaining iron ore that has been mined is not much. The small one wants to ask how much ore the second son needs? The small one should go back and let the miners rush to work ... ”
He thought this answer would satisfy the other person, but didn't want the troublesome brother to frown displeasingly: ”This boy asked you one question, why do you have so many questions ?! You think you will buy things without seeing them Have a look? Haven't seen it for yourself, how did the boy know the quality of the ore in your mine! Who knows if you intend to confuse the boy with inferior ore ?! ”
”My son, why is that ?!” Deng Guanshi frowned, lamenting that his elder brother was really hard to serve. If he provided inferior iron ore to the South Xinjiang Army, even if he had won the second son of Xiao, he would still be able to lie to those masters ... how could he do such a stupid thing!
Deng Guanshi was trying to explain something, but after hearing that the son-in-law unexpectedly came up with another idea: ”No, my son-in-law has to go to the mine to see the goods in person! It ’s better to hit the sun than another day, and you will take my son to mine now Take a look! ”
This is not working! Deng Guanshi listened to his heartbeat and hurriedly said, ”The second son can't make it! The mine is too dangerous, and there are often falling rocks, and even the mine is in danger of collapsing. This is not a small nonsense.” After a pause, he carefully looked at the other person's face and proposed, ”Second son, it's better to do this, younger, first bring a batch of ore to you for inspection, what do you think?”
Anyway, Xiao Ying has successfully sneaked into the mine, and Nangong Yuan didn't have to go there by himself, but he wanted to lie to him. It seems that he is very reluctant to go by himself ... Nangong Yan frowned deliberately and nodded: ”That boy is waiting for you to bring a sample to see first.”
Deng Guan finally let out a sigh of relief, his back sweating, but he kept busy: ”Of course, of course!” Then he turned sharply and flattered, ”... second son, you came from afar, but our town is a pity. It's remote, there's no good place to eat, but you're wronged. But the little ones there recently won a box of Nanzhu, each with the size of a baby's fist. It's good to make jewelry or just play around ... ”
Nangong Xi raised her eyebrows slightly, revealing a hint of interest, and asked, ”What kind of mountain and wild land do you have, and what kind of pearl?”
Seeing the other party's interest, Deng Guanshi accompanied and laughed and said, ”It is also good. The last time I met a Nanyang caravan, I was fortunate to get it. When the younger goes back, I will send it to the son. Let the son. Your tasting and tasting ... ”He winked at Nangong. The so-called tasting naturally offered treasure.
Nangong shook her fan and laughed. For a while, the atmosphere in the room was relaxed a lot, and the tense atmosphere seemed to have never existed before.
For a long time, Deng Guanshi's heart finally halted, but fortunately, although Xiao Er's son is troublesome, he should be just an elder brother who knows nothing about the world.
Mr. Deng left in a hurry. In the evening of the day, he was ordered to send a box of pearly pearls to Nan Gongyu. Lily accepted it for his owner.
And that same night, someone came back.
Because things weren't urgent, Bai Hui didn't bother the master to rest after getting a word from Zhou Dacheng, and he cried out until the early morning of the next day: ”Sir concubine, a car full of iron ore came at midnight yesterday. The carriage, the carriage hastily entered the mine ... ”
The 100 elite soldiers they accompanied were all stationed outside the city. Yesterday, Nangong Yu asked Zhou Dacheng to order a few people to stare at the Siegley Mountain and the surrounding area of the town.
Sure enough, there is gain!
Lily was waiting for Nangong to comb her hair, heard the words, her movements could not help but paused, and said with a crooked head, wondering, ”Why did Deng steward adjust the iron ore from outside?”
Nangong put out a smile on the corner of his mouth, even if it was really like Deng Guanshi said that the ore had been removed, but she only looked at the sample. Such a large mine, I could n’t come up with something to see temporarily. A sample?
Unless, this mine is not iron at all! But something else ...
This time, she just wanted to explore the situation. After all, it was more than ten years ago. I do n’t know how to do it in just three or two days, but now, it seems that nothing should be achieved.
When Nangong ran out of breakfast, Mr. Deng came to see him and brought a carriage of iron ore.
Nan Gongwen heard the news and brought Zhou Dacheng and others down to check in person.
It was a cart of yellow and gray stones, large and small stones piled up, and at first glance it seemed no different from ordinary stones.
Nangong frowned, fanned his face in disgust, and then lost a wink at Zhou Dacheng.
Zhou Dacheng came to check the condition of the ore. He picked up a few pieces of iron ore and weighed it. After trying it with a magnet, he returned to Nangong and said, ”My son, is a good iron ore.”
Nangong Nod nodded in satisfaction, and when the fan was closed, she immediately cut off: ”Okay, the batch of military orders will be placed in your mine, old Zhou,” she looked at Zhou Dacheng casually and asked, ”Old Zhou How much iron ore do we want this time? ”
Zhou Dacheng revered respectfully: ”Return to the son, this batch is two hundred stones.”
Seeing the second son Xiao Er coming out to purchase munitions, he couldn't even figure out how much iron ore was needed for this trip. It can be imagined how rough it was to do things for others. ? !! Thirty pounds are for Jun, and four pounds are for Stone. That ’s 24,000 pounds of ore! Where did so much iron ore make him go for a while? !!
However, after two rounds of dealings, Deng Guanshi felt the temper of the second son of Xiao Er slightly. The other party was the second son of Wangfu. It is estimated that no one except the king of the south of the city and the grandfather dare to say no to him. If you want to send this Buddha away, you can't oppose him ...
Sending people off earlier could have made it earlier!
Deng Guanshi bit his back molars and said, ”Second son, so many iron mines are too small for a while and a half. It ’s better to ask the second son for a few days' grace, and the little one should prepare immediately. Well, I will send you to Luo Yuecheng in person. What do you like? ”
Deng Guanshi said, carefully watching the look of Nangong Yan.
Sure enough, the other party was still dissatisfied, and put away the fan and said, ”No! Deng Guanshi, my son will give you five days. After five days, my son will bring the two hundred stone iron ore back in person.” There was a hint of eagerness, and then squinting at Mr. Deng, there was a dangerous smell in his tone. ”If you humiliate your son, don't blame him ... hum!”
Deng Guanshi's face was right. He heard that Xiao Shizi was taking a great victory in the south. I am afraid that Xiao Erxiao is anxious. He also wants to earn a face in front of Wang Ye and make a military achievement. That's why I personally came to purchase this iron ore ... Hey, I can only blame myself for being unlucky, and it has attracted such a **** of plague!
No matter how much dissatisfaction in the heart, but Deng steward did not dare to show half his point, after bowing and saluting, he hurried back.
After leaving the post, Mr. Deng turned on his horse and took two men out of the town straight out of the town, then rushed back to the mine in Sigle Mountain all the way. At the foot of the mountain, the gatekeeper opened the iron gate when he saw Deng returned.
A man of medium height had already waited behind the door, greeted him, and saluted with some nervousness: ”Deng Guanshi ...” He wanted to ask whether Deng Guanshi went well, but by looking at Deng Guanshi's face, he knew this. I'm afraid it's a bit troublesome.
After Deng Guanshi got off the horse, he threw the horse rope to a subordinate, facing a sinking water, striding up the mountain road, and asked, ”Lao Song, how about the output in these days?”
The man, known as Lao Song, hurried to follow up and replied: ”Secretary Deng, this month you can basically mine an average of twenty stones a day.”
”Only twenty ?!” Deng Guanshi Mei Yu locked up. ”Compared with last month, production has dropped again!”
