First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Chapter 161 Proof of Transaction

The problems among the garrison troops in Mangcheng were far bigger than he had imagined!

Wei Ling was not surprised at all that he was being tempted and assassinated.

Originally, he wanted to win these people over, blend in with them, and then disintegrate and defeat them, so that the losses to the entire Black Tiger Army would be minimized.

But now Wei Ling doesn’t think so.

Since the remaining army has become so rotten, he is afraid that he will not be able to completely eradicate these people even if he mixes in among them, and it is time-consuming and laborious, and the time of pretending to be procrastinating is too long, so he plans to use tonight's incident as an opportunity to make a thorough investigation of the officers of the entire remaining army and cut the Gordian knot.

Although it would cause great turmoil, those people would not dare to incite military action because they had evidence to support their protest. Even if someone was instigated, he would have a legitimate reason to suppress it.

As the saying goes, nothing can be established without destruction.

If he can't even manage these remaining troops, how can he be the commander-in-chief of the Black Tiger Army!

Wei Ling’s eyes became colder and colder.

It seemed that in an instant, he turned back into the evil god Wei Ling who was invincible on the battlefield and killed gods and Buddhas, instead of the gentle young man who smiled sweetly in front of Su Jixiang.

This decision was made while he was waiting here just now.

However, he always had full preparation in everything he did. He had already informed Xie Yingfeng to deploy his own people in Mangcheng and its surrounding areas to wait for his orders. As long as he needed it, Xie Yingfeng would cooperate with him.

The blood started boiling again, and Wei Ling even had some excitement and anticipation in his eyes.

I haven't felt this way in a long time!

These days were so comfortable and easy that he almost had the illusion of peace and security, with his horses let loose in the mountains and his weapons put away.

The sound of horse hooves gradually came, and several people dismounted not far away.

Wei Ling looked in the direction of the sound and saw several foreigners in black clothes walking towards him in the light of the campfire.

"General!" They greeted Wei Ling in the stiff Daxie language.

"I don't deserve it!" Wei Ling bowed, but he was extremely disdainful in his heart. Just with these few chicken feathers, he is worthy of being called a general?

"Did you bring the money?" Wei Ling asked slowly.

"I brought it!" The foreigners bowed and saluted, then several people took off the sacks hanging on their shoulders and placed them on the ground in front of Wei Ling.

"Take an inventory." Wei Ling said.

Han Weiping's confidant Wang Cheng came running over and opened the sack in front of Wei Ling. There was golden gold and some gems inside.

"Why are you still using gems?" Wang Cheng was immediately displeased. "Didn't I tell you that you all wanted gold?"

"It's really hard to gather so much gold in such a short time." The foreigner explained, "But these rubies are all top quality! They can be sold at a very high price in Daxie! The total value of these gems is far higher than the gold we promised!"

"Boss! Is this okay?" Wang Cheng looked at Wei Ling.

Wang Cheng doesn't know the value of rubies, but Wei Ling does. After these rubies were taken out of the bag, they were rich in color and crystal clear. Even without being polished or processed, they were already of such quality. They were truly precious.

They are all stolen goods anyway, so there is no difference between gold and gems.

Wei Ling nodded slowly.

"That's it!" Wang Cheng immediately laughed again.

"We want to order some goods!" said the foreigner.

"Order! Give me the proof as soon as you finish ordering!" Wei Ling said.

They have to wait until the credentials are exchanged before they can arrest anyone.

After all, this transaction receipt is the most important thing, because it not only has the fingerprints of both parties, but also the previous deed as proof.

With these two things, Wei Ling will be able to capture talents with twice the result with half the effort.

The mines in Mangcheng are not so easy to mine.

It is obviously impossible for Han Weiping alone to produce iron ore under everyone's noses.

So there is a group of people behind Han Weiping who are secretly helping him, and Han Weiping is going to take this deed and transaction receipt back to record it in his account.

The gold has to be shared among everyone. It's not just one person's job.

The foreigners went to count the iron ore on the carriage.

Only then did Wei Ling stand up.

"Boss, we've made a lot of money this time, so we can get more this time!" Wang Cheng was also counting the gold and gems. "Boss, let's take the gold. It's too troublesome to exchange those gems for gold. Let Lin Xuwen think about it!"

Lin Xuwen!

Sure enough, he is there!

Wei Ling couldn't help but twitch his lips, revealing a somewhat cold smile, "Okay."

He took a deep breath and looked at the foreigners who were squatting in front of the carriage convoy and counting the iron ore.

They were all wearing black, so it was hard to tell where they were from. They also said what Daxie said, "Bring back more guests next time." Wei Ling said tentatively.

"I understand." Wang Cheng smiled and said, "Next time I will tell them not only to contact these Arabs, but also to look for ways in Rouran while on patrol."

"Yeah." Wei Ling nodded.

So the people who came to trade were from the Arab world.

Wang Cheng only thought he was Han Weiping, so he was not on guard against him at all. As long as Wei Ling asked him questions, he would tell him everything.

These soldiers were not very scheming, and could not be compared with an old hand like Xie Yingfeng. However, Wei Ling was someone who could get words out of Xie Yingfeng. It was very easy to get words out of these soldiers.

The Arabs counted the iron ore, bowed to Wei Ling, and took out the agreed transaction certificates and deeds.

They put their fingerprints on the transaction voucher, and Wang Cheng handed the transaction voucher to Wei Ling, asking him to put his fingerprints on it as well. The transaction voucher was in duplicate, and each party took one copy back to account for it.

Such a large sum of money cannot be taken out easily. If it is not brought back with proper procedures, neither party can explain clearly.

How could Wei Ling possibly put his fingerprint on something like this?

Just as Wang Cheng handed him the things including the ink, he quickly drew out the long sword at his waist.

With a flash of cold light, the blade of the long knife was placed on Wang Cheng's neck.

Wang Cheng was startled and looked at Wei Ling in confusion. Then he said self-righteously, "Boss, are you going to embezzle this batch of gold?"

Wei Ling did not answer his question, but gave a look to the secret guard who had quietly stood behind the Arab.

Before the Arabs could fully react, the secret guards' swords were placed on their necks.

The Arabs were so frightened that they stopped talking and just uttered a string of gibberish in Arab language.

Wei Ling glanced at them and said slowly in the Arab language, "Don't worry, I don't want your lives! I just need your cooperation. Once we have investigated thoroughly, I will naturally release you all."
