"Zhang Yinfan... Sir." Ouyang Ming murmured and frowned.
If someone else had given this order, Ouyang Ming might not have thought so much. However, if it was Zhang Yinfan, he couldn't help but think of Pianpian.
"Yes." Xiong Gaoan spread his hands and said helplessly: "Although our equipment camp and money and grain camp are both under the command of the Munitions Department, you also know that money is indispensable for anything you want to do. As long as people are willing , you can jam us anywhere. Hey... let alone you now, even if the old craftsman comes in person, I don't dare to open the door. "
Ouyang Ming curled his lips and thought to himself, if the old craftsman comes in person, if you dare not open the warehouse door, I will take your surname.
However, he did not dare to say such a slap in the face.
In desperation, Ouyang Ming had no choice but to come here in good fortune and return in disgrace.
Not long after he left, a slightly plump figure walked in from outside.
Xiong Gaoan stood up immediately, and the expression on his face became affectionate and flattering: "Master Kang, why are you here in person?"
This person was Kang Weibo, the director of the equipment camp. With a reserved smile on his face, he said: "I just finished eating. Come here for a walk to see if the inventory is enough." He sighed and said: " Our equipment camp has not been peaceful recently."
Xiong Gaoan asked him to sit down and said, "Yes, Mr. Zhang just issued an order, asking us to strictly control costs and not waste too much money and food. But the expenses at Old Craftsman's place have increased a lot recently..." He glanced at Kang secretly. Wei Bo said in a low voice: "Sir, why don't you go talk to the old craftsman?"
"Hmph!" Kang Weibo glared at him and said, "Old Craftsman is the only person in our equipment camp who can do anything. If you want me to talk to him, isn't this trying to bring bad luck to me?"
"Yes, yes." Xiong Gaoan said with a grimace, "Sir, Ouyang Ming, the old craftsman's assistant, came just now and said he wanted to withdraw some selected iron ingots. I did not open the warehouse. You see..."
Kang Weibo was startled and said, "Ouyang Ming is here?"
"yes."
Kang Weibo frowned slightly and pondered silently.
Xiong Gaoan was quite surprised and didn't understand why Kang Weibo had such a cautious expression. In his opinion, Ouyang Ming is just the old carpenter's helper. If he refuses, he refuses. At worst, the old carpenter comes over in person. As long as the old guy makes a noise and makes it known to everyone, he will be able to open the door to convenience.
With his status as an old craftsman, his small body cannot bear it, and he will not be able to blame himself for failing to do his duty when the time comes.
Kang Weibo has been the director of the equipment camp for many years, so he naturally understands the reason. It is impossible that he can't see through this little trick.
The way to be an official is to protect oneself prudently, to open a treasury for Ouyang Ming, and to open a treasury for the old craftsman, but they are two completely different things.
However, looking at Kang Weibo's expression at this moment, it seems that things are not that simple. He was worried and asked cautiously: "Sir, is there something wrong with what I did?"
Since he could become the accountant of the equipment camp, he was naturally Conway's confidant, otherwise he would not have been able to ask so bluntly.
Kang Weibo sighed and said, "I heard a rumor a few days ago." He lowered his voice and said, "The old craftsman spent his whole life trying to give Ouyang Mingbo a background in exchange for the arms order. , giving him the opportunity to ingest the arms seeds."
Xiong Gaoan was startled and said in amazement: "That boy is really lucky." When he said this, he was also quite envious.
Ouyang Ming and Old Jiangtou were not relatives, but by chance, they looked at each other. They were like bastards and mung beans, and they were three points closer than their own ancestors and grandchildren.
This is why Xiong Gaoan was able to explain in a pleasant manner when facing Ouyang Ming. If any other helper had dared to come here so recklessly, he would have ordered him to throw him down and beat him up.
"Hehe, this is not necessarily good luck!" Kang Weibo sneered and said: "Master Zhang knew this news, and he actually wanted to interfere with it and let someone replace him. Ouyang Ming agreed at first, but when it came to But at the end of the day, he suddenly regretted it and accepted the inheritance of the military order. "
"Ah." Xiong Gaoan was dumbfounded and said slowly: "Um, um... Master Zhang?"
Kang Weibo said: "If it wasn't that Mr. Zhang, who else could it be?"
Xiong Gaoan looked uneasy and said, "Sir, then, I'm afraid this order from Qianliang Camp is not that simple. What should we do?"
Kang Weibo sighed: "Hey, Qian Liangying is a superior, but the old craftsman is not easy to mess with. In addition, General Chen recently asked the old craftsman to build weapons, which has attracted even more attention. If we dare to create difficulties, Chen The general will definitely dare to take our heads to establish his authority."
Xiong Gaoan shrank his neck and felt a chill on the back of his head, and even goosebumps appeared in a circle.
Kang Weibo stood up and said: "That's all, you should strictly guard the door of the warehouse and don't open it easily unless absolutely necessary. I will go to the old craftsman's place and see the situation before making a decision."
Xiong Gaoan sent Kang Weibo away and sighed helplessly. When gods and gods fight, it will be difficult for them little brats caught in the middle to live as human beings.
Kang Weibo came to the old craftsman's forging room with a smile on his face, and happened to see the old craftsman holding a long stick and making gestures. After hesitating for a moment, he lightly knocked on the door.
The old craftsman opened the door and saw Kang Weibo. He smiled and said, "Master Kang is here. What do you want?"
Kang Weibo is the director of the equipment camp, and the old craftsman is also a member of his command in name, so he is naturally quite polite. However, this politeness only stayed on the surface, and he didn't even have any intention of inviting people into the house.
With a wry smile, Conway asked: "Old Craftsman, are you in short supply of materials recently?"
"What?" The old craftsman was startled and asked inexplicably.
Kang Weibo said quickly: "Ouyang Ming just went to the warehouse and wanted to withdraw some selected iron ingots." He sighed and said: "If it was half a month ago, this would have been a small matter, but now Zhang Liang of Qianliangying Your Excellency has ordered the equipment camp to reduce expenditures..."
"Oh, was it Zhang Yinfan who gave the order?" The old craftsman's eyes narrowed and he said slowly.
Kang Weibo nodded repeatedly and said: "It's Mr. Zhang, but don't worry, Old Craftsman." He puffed up his chest, and said with an expression that looked like a good buddy who would go through fire and water, risk everything, and said: "You, Old Craftsman, No matter how hard it is, I will give up my official position in the equipment camp and still make everything possible for you."
The old craftsman laughed dumbly. He was not a three-year-old child, so naturally he would not believe such nonsense.
However, he had lived for so many years and had never seen anything before, so he immediately understood the purpose of Conway's coming.
With a chuckle, the old craftsman said: "Master Kang, I understand. Well, if that kid goes to the warehouse to get materials from now on, he doesn't need to record them in my name."
Kang Weibo was stunned for a moment, then said with a wry smile: "Oh, old craftsman, don't get me wrong. It's not that I won't let you get the materials. Okay, okay. When Ouyang Ming goes to the warehouse in the future, I'll ask the people below to Isn’t it okay to let them go all the way?”
He thought that what the old craftsman said was sarcastic. In normal times, even though the old craftsman was rebellious and even he had no good way to deal with him, it didn't mean that he would be afraid of the old craftsman.
However, now the old carpenter is in a fierce fight with General Chen Yifan, and he is also responsible for forging weapons for the general. At this critical juncture, he dare not offend the old carpenter if he offends anyone.
Otherwise, as long as the old craftsman tilts his mouth at General Chen, he will be sure that he will not be able to eat and walk around.
General Chen Yifan's background is much greater than Zhang Yinfan's.
The old craftsman laughed loudly and said: "Master Kang, you really misunderstood. What the old man told is the truth. Whatever the boy actually goes to the warehouse to get from now on, it really has nothing to do with me."
Kang Weibo was startled. When he looked at the old craftsman's appearance, he didn't seem to be faking it, nor did he show any signs of embarrassment or anger. He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, what was the reason for this
"Old Craftsman, I don't understand what you mean..." He carefully asked, "Could it be that you want us to refuse him to collect materials on your behalf?"
The old craftsman blinked mysteriously and said, "What do you think?"
Kang Weibo's face darkened slightly and he cursed in his heart, I guess? I guess your sister is still blinking at such an old age, so why isn’t she blind
Of course, he did not have the courage to shout out, so he had to smile bitterly and said: "Old Craftsman, I have supported you all these years. There is hard work without credit. Just tell me the truth. What do you mean? ?”
The old craftsman coughed lightly. His nominal superior had already spoken to this point, and he could no longer hide it.
"Master Kang, you may already know." The old craftsman said slowly: "I have used my life's achievements to change the situation for Ou Yangming to ingest the arms seeds."
Kang Weibo's face changed slightly, and he said in surprise: "Old Craftsman, could it be that Ouyang... little brother has successfully activated the munitions?"
As soon as he heard the news, even he began to lose his composure, and his name changed slightly.
The old craftsman shook his head slightly and said, "You are wrong."
Kang Weibo almost choked on his breath. He took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I understand. I will give the order later. If Ou Yangming comes to pick up something, ignore it."
After knowing that Ouyang Ming had not activated the weapons, he immediately called him by his first name.
The old craftsman still had a smiling expression on his face, but he said: "Oh, Master Kang, let me show you something." He took out a saber from the forging room and handed it over.
Kang Weibo looked at it carefully for a long time, then input a ray of infuriating energy. His face couldn't help but shine, and he said: "Attribute saber."
"Yes, this is a high-quality attribute saber."
Conway couldn't put it down and played with the saber, and said: "Old craftsman, congratulations to you, you will definitely be recorded in the credit book. Hey, can this knife be put into storage?"
Looking at Kang Weibo's eyes full of expectation, the old craftsman said: "Unfortunately, I didn't forge this knife, so I don't have the power to make the decision."
"Not you?" Kang Weibo said in surprise: "Who is that?"
The old craftsman blinked his eyes mysteriously and said slowly: "Guess..."
