Chapter 88

Sauron has been enjoying himself recently, but also a little frightened.

As the sheriff of Bunas, he can be said to be proud recently, because he received 10 extra 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 his lover a ring and a pair of earrings.

Such generosity has skyrocketed his status among lovers, so much so that his legs were a little weak when he went to work recently.

When a person reaches middle age, he is no longer that strong young man.While lamenting and supporting his old waist, Sauron carefully performed waist-twisting exercises in the office.

And he was uneasy and uneasy, even a little frightened, because he had never heard of Becky again, and he hadn't seen the follow-up movement from the Cyric chaebol.

When the matter developed to this point, he was somewhat afraid.If this matter is revealed to the outside world and reaches the ears of Huey Guise, the king of hell from the Cyric Consortium...then his life will come to an end...

So he was very nervous recently, and he didn't dare to ask more about Becky, for fear that others would associate Becky with him.

When people reach middle age, it really becomes more and more difficult.He sighed secretly in his heart, his face was full of despair at noon.

At this moment, someone knocked on his door.

"Come in!" Sauron stopped his movements while supporting his waist, and ordered.

A guard pushed open the door of Sauron's office, bowed slightly, and immediately reported: "My lord! Mr. Tang Mo is visiting."

"Huh?" Sauron was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately realized that it was the young man who often bribed him to visit.So he immediately opened his mouth and ordered: "Please invite Mr. Tang Mo in."

As soon as Tang Mo entered the room, he complimented Sauron, "My lord's room is really uniquely decorated!"

"Where is it! It's so shabby, Mr. Tang laughed!" Sauron said politely.As he spoke, he thought of Becky who came here last time, so his affection for the respectful Tang Mo increased even more.

Seeing that there was no one else in the room and the door was closed tightly, Tang Mo slightly adjusted his volume, and said to Sauron, "Master Sauron, I haven't thanked you before, thank you for sending me. Someone is coveting my business note."

Sauron immediately came to a third company of quality, and quickly waved his hand to show that I didn't say it: "Ah! Sir Knight, I have never sent any note. You must have remembered the wrong person."

"Really? Hahaha! Maybe... But this time, I came here to repay your kindness." Tang Mo knew the caution of an old bureaucrat like Sauron, so he continued.

Hey, so this kid came here to give me money?Hearing what Tang Mo said, Sauron 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 ashamed and afraid to take it: "I don't dare to accept the kindness of knowing you, it's just a small favor, a small favor."

It's hard to imagine that he, who is only 18 years old, can put on such an old-fashioned appearance: "So you're just a stranger, you're doing me a favor, but it has benefited me a lot!"

Of course, Sauron, who is also an acting school, also showed a righteous look: "After all, I am still the sheriff here, and I should do something for the people under my rule, I should!"

"Since your lord is so virtuous, your lord will definitely not refuse if the people under your rule are willing to do a little favor for you." Tang Mo continued to chat with Sauron.

Sauron was quite comfortable being stroked along the fur, and a satisfied expression appeared on his face: "Hahahaha! Talking to Mr. Tang is interesting! Interesting! I don't know why Mr. Tang came this time?"

"Look at what you said, my lord, isn't it just for bribery?" Tang Mo said directly, without any shyness.

"Pfft..." Sauron almost spat out.

Seeing Sauron's reluctant expression, Tang Mo thought it was very interesting, and continued, "Everyone is a smart person. In front of Lord Sauron, I won't say anything."

"..." Sauron remained silent, staring at Tang Mo with his eyes, waiting for Tang Mo to continue.

Tang Mo didn't go around in circles, but directly explained the purpose of his visit: "I got a batch of Cyric flintlock guns. It's useless for me to hold them. There are hundreds of them. I think the adults should be able to use them here. .”

Hearing this, Sauron put on a look of disinterest, laughed and said: "Hahaha! This time Mr. Tang may really have made a trip for nothing. The weapons here are all issued by the kingdom. Why? Will it come in handy?"

Tang Mo raised his eyebrows, and asked in a long voice, "Is it...?"

"What?" Sauron was a little guilty, but he still asked back.

Tang Mo gave a precise figure: "If Bunas distributes Cyric's flintlock guns in full, there should be 400 in stock, am I right?"

"..." Sauron didn't speak, but continued to wait for Tang Mo to continue.

And Tang Mo didn't keep Sauron waiting too long, and continued directly: "However, the magistrates who have been on empty pay over the years are not as diligent and loving as Lord Sauron. The weapons were also secretly pulled out and sold for gold coins."

Without waiting for Sauron to speak again, Tang Mo shared the information he had obtained from the Silver Fox Tavern: "Counting the garrison of another battalion in the south of Bunas, the weapon depots of the two barracks originally contained There should be [-] Cyric flintlock guns that actually exist, but now there are probably not even [-] guns!"

It was precisely because of the exact information that he came here to sell the 700 useless Cyric flintlock guns in his hands for a good price.

"You...how did you know?" Sauron was startled when he heard this, and asked nervously.

Tang Mo pretended to be an old god, concealing the fact that someone leaked the secret, but pretended to be a clever figure, and said, "My lord, don't worry about someone leaking the secret. In fact, even if no one tells me, I can guess." The approximate result has been reached."

In fact, it was really because he guessed a general idea that he used his strength to investigate this aspect.After all, most Chinese people who have experienced the late Ming and late Qing Dynasty are well aware of this deficit.

Then, he threatened Sauron: "The war has been clouded recently, and the kingdom will definitely count the weapons, at least to put on a show... If the shortage of weapons is revealed by then... it won't be fun."

Sauron became even more nervous, because he knew that what Tang Mo said was indeed reasonable.The situation is really tense recently, and it looks like war will break out at any time.

But before he was stubborn and gritted his teeth and said that he didn't lack weapons. In fact, he was not bold, but he really didn't have the ability to purchase weapons, and he just filled the hole by himself.

So, he sighed helplessly: "I didn't sell those guns alone! My previous..."

Hearing what Sauron said, Tang Mo immediately went on to say: "I know, I know, my lord! I know! Of course I know! But after you took office, you signed the acceptance document, which cannot be faked ...When the time comes, I'm afraid the kingdom will still think that you, my lord, have committed a greater crime."

"...Then, are you going to sell these weapons to me at a high price?" Sauron was very bachelor: "Let's talk first! I don't have any money."

Tang Mo put on a frightened look, quickly waved his hands and said, "Are you kidding... If your lord thinks that I'm going to come here to make some money, then you'll be too contemptuous of our friendship."

"Then...?" Sauron was taken aback, as if he had discovered a glimmer of hope, looked at Tang Mo, and asked in a long tone.

Tang Mo gave a very low price with a smile: "Actually, I plan to sell these weapons... to you at one-third of the price." Unexpected price.

In fact, although Sauron evaded and said that it was his predecessor who sold the weapons, he had actually done so himself.

At that time, there were only less than 190 Cyric flintlock guns in his warehouse, but he still had the courage to get more than 70 rifles out of it and sold them to black market dealers.

Now in the warehouse, as Tang Mo guessed, there were only less than 120 Cyric flintlocks.

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 going to sell a batch of flintlock guns to help him fill his warehouse with a third of the market price, which really moved him.

This time and again, eating the kickback gun and returning to the warehouse, for Sauron, it was much better than leaving the warehouse empty and worried every day.

It's just that the money for buying a gun requires him to spit out the stolen money that he had eaten before, which is as uncomfortable as cutting his heart.

So he hesitated, unwilling to agree, but also 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: "My lord, you are not the only one who is short of weapons, you can ask the surrounding garrisons, and other fellow sheriffs... Contact Contact...in case everyone has this demand...if you have a large demand, how about I send you 300 rifles?"

Having said that, Sauron also realized that this is 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 can I be embarrassed."
