Chapter 88: 88Why are you so embarrassed?
Chapter 88 Why is 88 so embarrassing?
Sauron has been enjoying the spring breeze recently, but he is also a little frightened.
As the Sheriff of Bunas, he can be said to be very proud of himself recently because he got 10 more gold coins as a "reward" from Tang Mo.
Of course he knew where the extra income came from, but the bribe still allowed him to buy a ring and a pair of earrings for his lover.
Such generosity has made his status with his lover soar, so much so that recently when he went to work, his legs felt a little weak.
When a person reaches middle age, he is no longer the strong young man. While sighing and holding his old waist, Soran carefully performed waist twisting exercises in the office.
The reason why he felt uneasy and uneasy, and even a little scared, was because he had never heard of Becky again, and he had not seen any subsequent movements from the Cyric Conglomerate.
When things developed to this point, he became a little scared. If this matter comes to light and reaches the ears of the living **** king of the Cyric Consortium, Xiu Yi Geese... then his life will be over...
So he has been very nervous recently and dare not ask more about Becky, for fear that others will associate Becky with him.
As people reach middle age, it really becomes more and more difficult. He sighed secretly in his heart, his face full of despair at noon.
At this moment, there was a knock on his door.
“Come in!” Sauron held his waist, stopped moving, and ordered.
A guard opened the door of Solon's office, bowed slightly, and immediately reported: "Sir! Mr. Tang Mo is here."
"Huh?" Sauron was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately realized that it was the young man who often bribed him who came to visit him. So he immediately spoke and said, "Please come in quickly, Mr. Tang Mo."
As soon as Tang Mo entered the room, he complimented Sauron and said, "Your Majesty's room is really uniquely decorated!"
"Where is it! It's so shabby, it makes Mr. Tang laugh!" Solan said politely. As he spoke, he thought of Becky who came here last time, and his affection for the respectful Tang Mo doubled.
Seeing that there was no one else in the room and the door had been closed tightly, Tang Mo adjusted his volume slightly and said to Sauron: "Sir Sauron, I haven't expressed my gratitude to you before. Thank you for sending me the relevant information. Someone covets my business note.”
Sauron immediately came over with a quality third company, and quickly waved his hand to express that I didn't, I didn't say it before: "Ah! Sir Knight, I have never asked anyone to send any note. You must have remembered the wrong person."
"Really? Hahaha! Maybe... However, this time, I came here to repay your kindness." Tang Mo knew that an old bureaucrat like Solon was cautious, so he continued.
Eh, so this guy came here to give me money? Hearing what Tang Mo said, Soran immediately showed a bright smile on his face.
Since he helped Tang Mo, he naturally wanted to get more benefits. For a bureaucrat like him, the more free money the better.
Tang Mo waved his hand, looking as if he didn't deserve it: "I don't deserve the kindness of knowing someone. It's just a small favor. It's just a small favor."
It is hard to imagine that he, who is just 18 years old, can put on such a mature look: "In this way, you are just being ignorant. The small favor you mentioned has benefited me a lot!"
Of course, Sauron, who is also an actor, also showed a righteous and awe-inspiring look: "After all, I am still the peace officer here. I should do something for the people under my jurisdiction. It should be!"
"Since you are so upright and upright, and the people under your rule are willing to do you some small favors, you will definitely not refuse." Tang Mo continued to chat with Sauron in his arms.
Sauron felt quite comfortable being stroked along his fur, with a contented expression on his face: "Hahahaha! Talking to Mr. Tang is fun! Interesting! I wonder what Mr. Tang is here for this time?"
“Look what you said, sir, aren’t we just here to pay bribes?” Tang Mo said directly, without any hesitation.
“Pfft…” Sauron almost spit out his words.
Tang Mo saw Sauron's barely suppressed expression and found it very interesting. He continued: "We are all smart people. In front of Lord Sauron, I will not say anything."
“…” Sauron was silent, staring at Tang Mo, waiting for Tang Mo to continue speaking.
Tang Mo didn't beat around the bush, but directly explained his purpose: "I got a batch of Cyric flintlock guns. It's useless for me to hold them. There are hundreds of them. I think you should be able to use them here." "
After hearing this, Sauron looked uninterested and laughed: "Hahaha! Mr. Tang may have really wasted his trip this time. The weapons I have here are all issued by the kingdom. Why?" Can you use it?" Tang Mo raised his eyebrows and asked in a long voice, "Is it...?"
“What?” Sauron felt a little guilty, but still asked.
Tang Mo gave a precise figure: "If Bunas were to issue a full quota of Cyric's flintlocks, there should be 400 in stock. Am I right?"
“…” Sauron didn’t speak either, but continued to wait for Tang Mo to continue.
Tang Mo did not let Sauron wait for too long and continued directly: "However, the police officers who have been receiving empty wages over the years are not as diligent and caring as Lord Sauron. They are not only eating empty wages, but also using the stocks in stock. The weapons were also secretly taken out and sold for gold coins."
Without waiting for Sauron to speak again, Tang Mo told the information he got from the Silver Fox Tavern: "Including the garrison of another battalion south of Bunas, the weapons arsenals of the two barracks originally The 800 Cyric flintlock guns that should really exist are probably not even 200 guns anymore!"
It was precisely because he got the exact information that he came here to sell the 700 useless Cyric flintlock guns in his hand at a good price.
"You...how did you know?" Sauron was startled when he heard this and asked nervously.
Tang Mo acted like an old **** and hid the fact that someone had leaked the secret. Instead, he pretended to be a clever strategist and said, "Sir, don't worry about someone leaking the secret. In fact, even if no one tells me, I can just guess." The approximate result has been reached.”
In fact, he really had a guess, and that’s why he used all his strength to investigate this aspect. After all, most Chinese people who have experienced the late Ming and late Qing Dynasties are well aware of this shortfall.
Then, he threatened Sauron and said: "The war has been clouded recently, and the kingdom must count the weapons, at least to show off... If the lack of weapons is revealed... it won't be fun."
Sauron became even more nervous because he knew that what Tang Mo said did make sense. The situation has been really tense recently, and a war is about to break out at any time.
But before, he had a tough mouth and said through gritted teeth that he had no shortage of weapons. In fact, it was not because he was bold, but because he really did not have the ability to purchase weapons, so he had to fill the hole on his own.
So, he sighed helplessly: "I didn't sell those guns alone! My previous ones..."
Hearing what Sauron said, Tang Mo immediately continued: "I know, I know, sir! I know! Of course I know! But after you took office, you signed the acceptance document. This cannot be faked. …When the time comes, I’m afraid the kingdom will still think that your sin...is bigger.”
"...So, you plan to sell these weapons to me at a high price?" Sauron was very bachelor: "Say it first! I have no money."
Tang Mo pretended to be shocked, and quickly waved his hands and said: "Are you kidding me... If you think that I am planning to come here to make a fortune, it would be too slight on the friendship between us."
"Then...?" Sauron was stunned for a moment, and seemed to have found a glimmer of hope. He looked at Tang Mo and asked in a long voice.
Tang Mo smiled and gave a very low price: "Actually, I plan to sell these weapons to you at one-third of the price." Tang Mo gave a discount that was so great that Sauron didn't have any money. Price comes to mind.
Actually, although Sauron excused himself by saying that he sold his weapons when he took office, he actually did so himself.
At that time, there were less than 190 Cyric flintlock rifles in his warehouse, but he still bit the bullet and took out more than 70 rifles and sold them to black marketeers.
Now, as Tang Mo had guessed, there were less than 120 Cyric flintlock guns in the warehouse.
And the price he sold these flintlock guns at that time was half of the price of the flintlock guns sold by the Cyric Consortium!
But now, Tang Mo was prepared to sell a batch of flintlock guns at one-third of the market price to help him fill his warehouse, which really made him tempted.
This time, after taking the kickback gun and returning to the warehouse, for Sauron, it was much better than leaving the warehouse empty and worrying every day.
Just the money to buy the gun required him to spit out the stolen money that he had eaten before, which was as uncomfortable as cutting out his heart.
So he hesitated, unwilling to agree, but reluctant to refuse. He was extremely entangled for a while, and his frown looked very interesting.
Tang Mo approached Sauron, lowered his voice and made a proposal that Sauron could not refuse: "Sir, you are not the only one who is short of weapons. Please ask the surrounding garrisons and other fellow police officers... get in touch …What if everyone has this demand? If your demand is large, what if I give you 300 rifles?”
Having said this, Sauron also realized that this was not only a good opportunity to fill the hole, but also a good opportunity to make a fortune.
So he rubbed his hands, and the smile on his face gradually became sincere: "This...how am I so embarrassed."
