"I am also here to help you vent your anger!" Wen Runze cried so hard that his facial features were distorted. He did not expect things to turn out this way. In previous years, intercepting the flow was an established rule. In fact, it was common to pass off inferior weapons as good ones. The military camps below knew this. If you want good things, you have to pay. The Song family
The Song family is no exception! It's just a matter of how much you give, or how good or bad the weapons are.
This year, it was because the Song family offended the Xu family too badly. Zheng Siyu had impeached Hu Jianbang before, but Hu Jianbang's case ended inexplicably. Not only did he fail to use Hu Jianbang to bring down Xiao Heng, but Zheng Siyu and everyone had to spend a lot of effort to kill Hu Jianbang.
Everything was going wrong, so Wen Runze deliberately tried to make things difficult for the Beijing camp.
Originally, even though he knew that a big competition was imminent, Wen Runze was not worried. In his opinion, in such an important occasion, as long as Song Che was not stupid, he would definitely not really use the batch of problematic weapons for the competition. Such an important occasion was not a joke.
As for the situation that would arise later, Wen Runze also had a way to deal with it - he would send one of his subordinates over and say that they had made a mistake and that the defective products developed by the Equipment Division were accidentally sent to the Beijing Camp. This matter would not be impossible to cover up.
The key is whether it causes serious consequences.
Unfortunately, they lost the bet this time.
Wen Runze cried miserably and could not help but grit his teeth and said, "I don't believe that the Beijing Camp didn't know that these weapons were defective before they went into battle. Didn't they check the weapons in the warehouse before going into battle? This is clearly a deliberate attempt to hurt the enemy by a thousand and lose eight hundred of their own, just waiting to cause trouble for us!"
"Shut up!" Xu Chong looked at him coldly, and was also very angry: "How dare you say that! Now the competition is under the watchful eyes of the public because of the problem with the weapons, the emperor is furious. Even if the Song family intends to make a big deal out of it, it is the Ministry of War that is at fault first! Look at what stupid thing you have done!?"
Wen Runze knelt back down with a sad face, opened his lips, and finally couldn't help but said: "Sir! It's obvious that the Song family deliberately took this opportunity to cause trouble! Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? Who is he!? He, Guangping Hou, is an old fox..."
Seeing Xu Chong's gloomy face, Wen Runze made another effort, and hurriedly took a few steps forward and hugged Xu Chong's legs: "Sir, you must save me! Are we really going to be beaten?"
He cried so hard that he almost lost his human form. Xu Chong looked at him with disgust and amusement. He kicked him away and sat down on the chair coldly: "It's not the last step yet, why are you so depressed? Wait and see!"
They waited until the afternoon, when Xu Chun was finally trembling and supported into the big tent.
The weather was cold, and he was always afraid of the cold. When he entered the tent, his face was already pale from the cold. Xu Chong was well prepared. As soon as he entered the door, he first handed him a hand warmer, and then brought up hot tea and put it in his father's hand. He helped his father sit down on a cushioned chair and said to the old man, "Master Wen has been crying here all day."
Xu Shun's eyes fell on Wen Runze. He snorted and took a sip of ginseng tea. Only then did he feel warm in his limbs. "Why were you crying now? If you had behaved properly earlier, why would you have ended up like this?"
Wen Runze cried even harder, and climbed forward and cried, "Sir, it's my fault. I was wrong in every way. I really didn't expect the Song family to be so cruel and reckless..."
He wiped the tears from his face and said, "Now that things have come to this, whether to kill or chop me up depends entirely on your words!"
Xu Shun didn't speak for a long time, and drank the tea in his hand leisurely. Cai smiled slowly: "Runze is trying to defeat me! Although you cried miserably, you thought in your heart that I had to save you no matter what, otherwise your brother-in-law would come back and help you, right?"
Wen Runze repeatedly said he didn't dare.
He explained tremblingly, "My brother-in-law was also promoted by you, Master. How dare I think like that?!"
"Whether you dare or not, it doesn't matter now," Xu Shun sneered, "Anyway, the big mistake has been made. You guessed right. For the sake of your brother-in-law, I have to protect you. Besides, there are so many people in the Ministry of War, why are you so anxious alone?"
Just one sentence gave Wen Runze peace of mind.
Wen Runze was so overjoyed that he didn't know what to do. He kowtowed to Xu Shun three more times in excitement: "Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master, for saving my life! Thank you, Master, for saving my life!"
He knew in his heart that since Xu Shun had said so, his life was definitely saved.
After being happy, he couldn't help but worry: "Then this matter..."
"Did you sign the release document?" Xu Shun waved his hand, signaling the servants to take the stove away. Seeing Wen Runze hurriedly shaking his head, he said in a deep voice: "That's it, then you just insist that you didn't know anything about it."
Wen Runze immediately understood what Xu Shun meant.
Yes, as long as he doesn't admit it, who can prove that it was his order to send weapons to the Beijing camp
Is there any witness
What? Really
It will be gone soon.
That afternoon, Qiu An, a doctor in the Armory, committed suicide out of fear of punishment after the incident. He hanged himself before the Censorate came to arrest him.
When the news reached Emperor Yuanfeng, he was furious and immediately reprimanded the Censorate and the Ministry of Justice for their poor performance: "I asked you to handle the case every time, but you did it every time." "Did you sign the release document?" Xu Shun waved his hand, signaling the servants to take the stove away. Seeing Wen Runze hurriedly shaking his head, he said in a deep voice: "That's it, then you just insist that you didn't know anything about it."
