Chapter 83: The Old Bottom Is Revealed
Twilight City, Frost Thunder Legion Quarter Recruitment Warehouse.
Dylan walked past trucks with a gloomy face. The transport convoy was robbed twice in a row, and everyone in the military headquarters was in danger.
The robbed military supplies could not be retrieved for a long time, and someone in the Frost Thunder Legion must be blamed for this. The first person to be affected is General Shino, who has just taken over as the military logistics department, and he, the military supplies chief in Twilight City, may also be unable to escape punishment.
Two military officials holding books followed Dylan closely, while the middle-aged managers with smiles on Xingyuan Trading Company were following him.
"Director Dylan, according to the quantity required by the Military Control Commission, all the supplies have been collected. Please count them."
Dylan barely squeezed a smile on his face, "At the critical moment, I have to rely on you old friends to help. If it weren't for your Xingyuan Trading Company that could have collected this supplies so quickly, I wouldn't have explained it to the higher authorities."
"Director Dylan has been awarded the award. The Military Control Commission is very caring for our Xingyuan Commercial Bank on weekdays. At critical moment, our commercial bank will empty its warehouse and help Director Dylan overcome this difficulty first." The manager of the commercial bank replied with a smile.
Dylan nodded slightly and turned around to the officials behind him and instructed him: "Please handle the handover with the manager. Although he is an old friend, the inventory should be more careful. Don't let the people above catch other excuses from our Military Service at the forefront."
The two officials nodded and were about to start counting and registering from the first truck. The shop's staff also came forward to help unbox.
In the carriage were neatly arranged bags of food. The military officer randomly inserted the grain chisel into two bags of food and carefully checked the quality of the food.
The cars were counted down one by one. When the fifth car was found, the car cover was lifted up and the rear car was pulled open. There was a loud bang, and stones mixed with mud poured down from the car.
Dylan and two military officials were stunned on the spot.
Cold sweat instantly flowed from the head of the business manager. He stepped forward and pushed the clerk away, protruded his head and looked carefully into the carriage.
No matter how carefully you look at it, the soil will not become food.
Dylan reacted, and roared with a pale face: "Open it, open it all!"
All the cars were opened one by one, and more than two-thirds of them were loaded with gravel and soil.
The business manager was so scared that he sat on the ground, muttering, "How could this happen? How could this happen?"
Dylan was so angry that his fingers trembled. If it weren't for the careful investigation today, if this batch of military supplies were transported to the legion, if it were found, it would be a serious crime to behead him after he was found.
"Xingyuan Trading Company is bold and dares to adulterate military supplies, and arrests and convicts everyone in Xingyuan Trading Company!" Dylan, in a furious manner, began to arrest people without even examining the reasons.
......
Twilight City, Linxi Tower.
On the third floor, there is a secluded seat by the window, and an old man in brocade robe sits by the window.
The old man had a glass of sake in his hand and three exquisite side dishes on the table. He was beating the wind by the window, pouring himself and drinking himself, and was content with satisfaction.
A burst of footsteps sounded at the stairs, and a young green-clothed warrior hurriedly ran up, "Shopkeeper, something happened, something big happened!"
"Why are you in a panic without any rules?" The old man scolded. This person was the shopkeeper of Xingyuan Trading Company in Twilight City.
"The Military Control Department found a large amount of stones and soil from the food we sent this time. The manager and the delivery guy were arrested on the spot. The Military Control Department has sent someone to the business bank to arrest you!" said the warrior in a panic.
The old man shook his hand and the wine glass fell on the floor and smashed it.
"How can the grain in the goods turn into stones and soil?" The shopkeeper of Xingyuan Trading Company was puzzled, "You ask Pris to come here to see me immediately."
Not long after, the short man Arthur and the others were staring at before appeared in front of the old man.
"Have you checked the goods before?" the shopkeeper of the shopkeeper couldn't wait.
The short man named Priss had already known what was going on the way, and he slowly said, "I checked it when I first went to the valley. The carriage was indeed filled with food. The second time I hired the driver to go, I couldn't check it in front of them. After that, the goods stayed at the inn for a day, and there were many people there and there were guards at the inn. It was unlikely that someone would exchange the goods. Therefore, I guess the food must have been replaced after I left the first time."
"Who replaced that?" The shopkeeper of the shopkeeper fell into deep thought.
"Who else knows where the convoy is parked besides us?" Priss asked tentatively.
The shopkeeper of the business hesitated for a moment and finally decided to tell the truth. After all, both sides are now grasshoppers on the same rope. "The orc hunting team robbed the transport convoy, and then the people inside the military supplies notified our pick-up location."
"Does the orcs?"
"It shouldn't be. If the orcs want to kidnap them directly, there is no reason to come back and drop the bag after they are removed."
"The problem must be theirs," Priss judged.
The shopkeeper suddenly stared at Pris, "There is another possibility, have you been followed?"
Pris was so scared that he waved his hand, "It's definitely not me. I'm very cautious in my operation this time, and I didn't know that the food would be sold back to the military supplies before coming."
The shopkeeper of the business was just testing Pulis. Judging from Pulis' reaction, the problem was definitely not like him, so the problem must be within the Frost Thunder Legion. But he still couldn't understand why the people in the Frost Thunder Legion did this, was it just to swallow his interests?
The shopkeeper guessed the direction correctly, but could not guess that Arthur and the others were involved in a strife.
And he had no chance to guess anymore. The chaotic footsteps sounded, and the soldiers of the Frost Thunder Legion had already rushed up, and the leader of the Military Commander Dylan.
"Director Dylan, I think there may be a misunderstanding here. I am also looking for who has stolen our grain?" The shopkeeper of the shopkeeper was still explaining calmly.
"We are here to find you not to steal food, but to collude with orcs to rob military supplies, the case of you colluding with orcs to rob military supplies has happened!" Arthur smiled and turned it out from behind Dylan.
Although Huey had not entered before, he had been staying outside the romantic place where Pris went. The shopkeeper of the business summoned Pris in panic, and Huey followed the vine and touched it.
The shopkeeper of the business bank was so scared that he hurriedly defended, "Director Dylan, don't joke, why collude with orcs or rob military rations? These are all serious crimes of killing. How can our small business have the courage and ability?"
Arthur looked at the shopkeeper with a smile, "You may not know that the cargoes that were drawn out not only stones and soil, but also several tokens from the Cavalry Battalion of the Frost Thunder Legion. Those tokens were stuffed in the night the cargo was robbed and the cavalrymen of the escort convoy were stuffed in, so how do you explain this?"
"I really don't know about this. Our business was wronged!"
"What about him?" Arthur reached out and pointed to the shorter man, "We have followed him all the way since the valley."
The sweat of the shopkeeper of the business bank continued to flow, and the leisurely leisure of the clinical wind in the past had already disappeared without a trace, leaving only tension and fear.
Arthur suddenly came to the shopkeeper and said in a very low voice: "For military supplies being robbed twice, there will always be someone who will come out to take the blame to calm down."
