Chapter 1713: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 1713: Sending Out the Weapons
Shu Yu, "..." couldn't listen anymore. An eighty-year-old mother? It seems you're a late bloomer in this regard.
She cleared her throat, "Alright, let's get down to business."
"Oh, right." Qin Kun wiped away non-existent tears, lifted his head to address the bound individuals, "I advise you to mend your ways. This black market isn't a good place. Confess what needs to be confessed, and you can still have a good life like me."
As he spoke, he noticed a few timid glances, knowing he had their attention. He continued more earnestly, "Now, I have the freedom to act, and I don't have to worry about losing my life. We're all young, there's no need to risk your lives for this black market. Think about your families, think about the future."
Before he could finish speaking, the person who had cursed him earlier stood up again, "Shut up, you..."
Meng Yunzheng drew his sword and lunged at the person. With a 'bang,' the person fell to the ground, trembling, unable to get up.
The others widened their eyes, scared and huddled together.
But it had to be said, this demonstration, coupled with Qin Kun's persuasion, worked. Two people timidly spoke up, "I... I know there's a hidden room in Master Fu's room. It should have a lot of things hidden inside."
"I know that Big Brother Ke's trusted subordinates in the city have a contact at the Wan Hua Lou."
Someone took the lead, and these disloyal individuals immediately started revealing the information they knew.
Although they were just small-time underlings without much significance, every bit of information they possessed could be valuable. It might not be major leads, but it could still yield something useful.
Finally, someone confessed that there were two people hidden in a closet on the third floor.
Very well, Uncle Yang immediately took a few young gentlemen and went to arrest them.
For those who cooperated voluntarily, Meng Yunzheng did treat them somewhat better. However, there were still those who refused to confess, instead threatening those who had turned against them. In such cases, their jaws were directly dislocated, their hands and feet bound tightly, and they were closely guarded.
After most of the necessary questions were asked, Meng Yunzheng finally took Shu Yu to see the weapons storage.
The black market's weapon storage was on the third floor, concealed behind a meeting hall that even the minor managers weren't allowed to enter.
Very few people knew about this place, and none of the lower-level underlings downstairs had ever seen it.
Shu Yu looked at the weapons piled together in front of her and sighed, "Swords, spears, bows and arrows, even catapults. What are they planning? Do they intend to siege a city?"
Although the catapults weren't large and there was only one, seeing them here was indeed chilling.
Meng Yunzheng ran his fingers over these weapons and sneered, "Perfect. We can send these things to General Huang."
"That's a good idea, but... how do we send them?"
They were in the black market, and the catapult was not easy to move, so that was out of the question. The other swords and weapons could be taken out, but where would they take them?
The black market had two entrances. One led to Chenggu County, but the county was under the control of the county magistrate.
The other entrance was outside the city, and it was feasible to send the weapons to General Huang from there.
However, they were not familiar with the area outside the city, and they didn't know where General Huang was at the moment. It was more likely that they would encounter those pretending to be bandits from the black market before they even saw General Huang.
