"Prince...!" Liu Qianli asked someone to close the door of the government office, held a stool and sat in front of Huang Shang.

"You are my nephew. When your mother was alive..., alas, I won't say it." Liu Qianli used her sleeve to wipe her already interfering eyes, looking in pain.

"Since you and I are both a family, I will tell you the truth. I must not agree to what this old guy gave me."

"Sir, why?" Huang Shang asked.

"If you don't want to say anything else, the weapon factory alone is a bottomless pit." Liu Qianli looked carefully and continued:

"The Armory Factory was directly under the jurisdiction of Zhu Guangqi, the general of the Western Expedition. Since there were no wars for many years, the Armory Factory was full of people, and it suffered huge losses every year. People were overwhelmed and corruption was prevalent. Once you take over, the annual expenses alone would be an astronomical figure."

"Besides, where are the raw materials for producing weapons? There are mainly two ores, one is iron ore. Iron ore is mainly produced in the central and northern parts of Zhongwei. However, there have been a lot of trouble in recent years, and the inventory of the weapons factory is probably about the same."

"The other type of copper mine needs to be transported from Ulan. Otherwise, do you think that Huatian Kingdom is full and spends huge amounts of money to support Zhou Kuan?"

"There are three years of pure tax revenues in Bamen City, which is a scam. Now Bamen City is firmly controlled by the Cao family, and with the support of Zhao Chongshi from Zhebe City, let alone occupying Bamen City, I think Zhou Meng's own territory may not be able to protect."

"Well..., I'm thinking for a long time. Lord Liu, I'm here this time to ask the people I caught in the berger castle a few days ago..." Huang Shang looked at Suo Jiao behind him with guilt and asked in a low voice.

He was really afraid of Suo Jiao's black hand... when would he twist himself again?

"Oh, prince, who do you want?" Liu Qianli asked.

"It just so happened that those martial arts people were detained in the army. Lord Miao and Lord Zhu received the transfer order and were about to be transferred away soon. They had no intention of taking care of these people and could not be released, so they asked the government office to take them over."

"I'm also annoying. There are hundreds of people, all of whom are desperate, and they have them from all sects. I haven't had peace here these days. There are some martial arts sects coming every night. Fortunately, I threw those people into the prison, hehe." Liu Qianli smiled proudly.

"There are so many people?" Huang Shang asked.

"Hmph, there were hundreds of people entering at the beginning." Suo Jiao added suddenly.

"There is a treasure inside?" Huang Shang asked again.

"I don't know." Suo Jiao refused coldly.

"I want to know if I go in and see it." She added.

...

Huang Shang was helpless. This aunt could not afford to offend him at all. Not only was she domineering in martial arts, but her kung fu was also cruel. Of course, kung fu included many aspects of kung fu.

"Oh, I don't know what to do with these people? Let's leave it, not only are there so many people who want to have a meal, but it also arouses jealousy from various sects. Let it go, I can't..." Liu Qianli sighed.

"Well, I want... how many? A dozen? OK, I want more than a dozen people."

"In addition, if the adults agree, I will help you find a way for others."

"Really? It's so good, what a hot potato, okay, I'll take you there now."

The Tianzhu in Wanzhou City is not far from the government office. From the outside, it looks like a building that is too ordinary, but it is guarded extremely strictly. Outside the door, there are not only a group of yamen runners, but also a garrison sent people to guard it. When entering the building, each checkpoint was checked extremely strictly. If Liu Qianli had not brought Huang Shang and Suo Jiao and An Zi personally, it would have taken a lot of effort for ordinary people to pass the level.

The prison cell where the prisoner was imprisoned was more than ten meters underground. Following the narrow passage, the light below became very dim. There was only one oil lamp every ten meters. The light swayed and emitted a bleak orange color.

Suo Jiao sniffed and looked around vigilantly.

The surrounding air is filled with various odors, odor, sour, sweat, and smelly smell.

On both sides of the passage were cells divided with thick wooden sticks. Several people were imprisoned in each cell to dozens of people. When the prisoners saw Liu Qianli and others coming down, they rushed to the door and reached out, either cursing or shouting.

Several people were led by the guards and guards to the end of the passage, where more than a hundred martial arts men were arrested in the Castle.

These people are different from prisoners. They don’t yell and are dressed cleanly. After all, they don’t have much time to be arrested.

"Let them all go." Suo Jiao walked to a cell and pointed inside.

The yamen runner looked at Liu Qianli, took out the key and opened the prison door after Liu Qianli nodded.

"The leader..."

"Master, we all know that you are back to save us..."

"Master, we will feel at ease if you are safe..."

As soon as more than a dozen young men left the room, they did not leave, but surrounded Suo Jiao.

"Okay, don't call me leader, you can go to me on your own." Suo Jiao waved his hand, turned around and walked out with a cold face.

This girl is really good at pretending, and is as cold as a lump of ice in front of outsiders. Only she knows that this girl is a ball of fire at a critical moment, a ball of flame that can melt anything.

Huang Shang lowered his head and followed Suo Jiao behind him, and his head almost hit Suo Jiao. Suo Jiao stopped coldly, looked back at Huang Shang and turned around and walked forward.

"Why don't you let them go, not let us?"

"Where are us?"

"To put it together..."

Seeing that more than a dozen people from the Five Yin Sect were let go, the martial arts people locked in other cells began to quit and started to make excuses.

"You want to leave?" Huang Shang suddenly turned around, glanced around and asked loudly.

"Do you know what crime you have committed? If you enter a major country without permission, you should be a death sentence!" Huang Shang started making up for the Hu.

"Didn't it be allowed by the Changxi Prince's Mansion?" someone murmured in a low voice.

"You can go in if you allow the Changxi Prince's Mansion?"

"Then the Changxi Prince's Mansion asked you to kill people, are you going to kill people? Be awake, the government is going to arrest you now, and you will be punished soon." Huang Shang said loudly, and began to carry his hands on his back and paced.

"Hmph, isn't it just a death..."

"It's you who let it in, and it's you who catch it..."

...

"But now you have a way to live. I wonder if you are willing or not?" Huang Shang looked around again and asked.

There is no movement, everyone is watching him quietly, and everyone will be moved when they have a living experience. The key is whether the conditions offered by others can meet them.

"Join the army!" Huang Shang finally shouted.

"Join to the army, this one can be there."

"Well, that's right, you'll die once anyway, at least you can die late..."

"I wonder if the leader agrees or not?"

.....

"Everyone, calm down and wait until I finish my words." Huang Shang made a quiet gesture and continued:

"As long as you agree to join the army, your crime will be cancelled, and..."

"You will get fifty taels of monthly silver every month. Of course, if the leader of your sect comes up or takes you away in the future, you can leave at any time. If your sect leader agrees to stay, for every person you leave, I will give your sect an additional five hundred taels per year."

“This can have….”

"If you have such a good thing, you will not only be guilty, but also Yueyin."

"The key is that the master of the sect will pick us up in the future, and we can leave at any time..."

Suo Jiao frowned and looked at Huang Shang with satisfaction. She didn't expect that Huang Shang would actually hit these people.

Being rich means being willful.

"You are from the Changxi Prince's Mansion?"

"Are you going to the Changxi Prince's Mansion to join the army or to the Huatian Kingdom?"

"Do you have the final say?"

...

Various questions came one after another, but Huang Shang did not answer.

"It depends entirely on your wishes. In addition, if you want, this is your Xiaojiao commander." Huang Shang grabbed Suo Jiao's slim waist and pulled her in front of him.

"You..." Suo Jiao's face turned red suddenly, but she immediately stood up straight and let Huang Shang's hand grab her back.

"What are you laughing at?" Suo Jiao suddenly roared.

Boom!

The door of a cell suddenly collapsed, and wood chips splashed everywhere.

"We do!"

"See Commander Xiaojiao!"

...

Huang Shang nodded in approval and twisted hard around Suo Jiao's waist. He was very satisfied with Suo Jiao's idea of ​​using his kung fu to suppress these people at this time. At the same time, he avenged another revenge--I asked you to twist me, and I twist you too...

"Hmm..." Suo Jiao nodded softly, his body shaking slightly.

All of this was seen by An Zi, who stood in the distance without saying a word.

It’s not that Huang Shang is willful, but that he has his considerations.

These martial arts people cannot be released. Although they will only benefit themselves without any harm after being released, these people have entered the Arou Temple and know some of the things inside. Secondly, these people are all martial arts people, and they are all excellent in fist, foot, stick and kung fu. If they can be used by themselves, wouldn’t it be better to reach relationships with those big sects?

Besides, if one person gives 500 taels of silver a year, those sects will not suffer any losses. Originally, these sects train disciples, and although there are disciple families to provide sponsorship, it is not much. After all, one sect costs a lot. If you do not rely on local forces, your life will be very hard.

Not all sects are very glorious and live a prosperous life.
