Zhao Xin frowned slightly and said with a reluctant smile: "I wonder what sir, I want to be sure of?"

Chu Huan took out a file from the table and threw it to Zhao Xin. Zhao Xin reached out to take it. Chu Huan's action had already given Zhao Xin an unknown premonition, but he heard Chu Huan say, "This is Chunyu Huan's confession, Lord Zhao can take a look."

Zhao Xin opened the file, glanced a few times, and his brows frowned even tighter.

Chu Huan tasted a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and then said: "Mr. Zhao must have understood that this is Chunyu Qiong's confession. According to him, before Lord Zhao was the head of the Ministry of War, he had always been in charge of the Ministry of War. When Shuoquan fell, Shuoquan's various officials retreated to Pingyuan County, and Hyogo was established in Pingyuan County at that time."

"This is indeed the case." Zhao Xin nodded and said, "But... the number contained on it..."

"Is there any problem?" Before Zhao Xin finished speaking, Chu Huan had already interrupted: "Chunyu Qiong should still have some talent, otherwise the old general Yu would not have handed over all the military equipment to Chunyu Qiong for management. The war was tense, and the court also transported a large number of equipment and equipment here, and even horses... When Hyogo was in Beiyuan, it was in and out. We don't have to worry about the specific number, but Chunyu Qiong's confession clearly explained it.

After the Western Liang withdrew his troops and moved back to Shuoquan from Beiyuan, the specific number of Hyogo was the one." Thinking about it, "Governor Zhu recovered Shuoquan and arrested Gongsun Chu as soon as possible, but he did not immediately arrest Gongsun Chu's so-called gangsters, especially Chunyu Qiong, because of the complex management of military equipment, he removed his official position and transferred the affairs of the Ministry of War to Lord Zhao. He was not arrested and imprisoned after he moved back to Shuoquan. This should not be wrong, right?"

"It's true... it's true." Zhao Xin obviously felt that Chu Huan seemed to be in the cloth cover, and he seemed to be being introduced into the cover without realizing it.

"That's right. It means that when he moved back to Shuoquan, Chunyu Qiong was very familiar with the situation of Hyogo." Chu Huan stared at Zhao Xin, calm and composed. "Chunyu Qiong explained the number of equipment in Hyogo at that time in detail...!" He stretched out his hand. Zhao Xin was stunned at first, but immediately understood, and hurriedly submitted the file. Chu Huan took it and said slowly: "It is very clear that the number of weapons such as swords and guns is no less than 20,000 pieces, the shields are more than 10,000 faces, and the cloth clothes are 24,000 sets. Oh, by the way, there are five thousand long bows and five hundred powerful crossbows. The armor is as Lord Zhao said last time, and it is a white-length armor...!" He narrowed his eyes, put down the file, and asked, "Mr. Zhao, are there any differences on this?"

Zhao Xin's eyes twitched. Before he could speak, Chu Huan's body had already leaned forward slightly and said with a smile: "Hyugo's inventory was not small at that time, and I believe there were many people who knew it. Whether Chunyu Huan's words were true or false, you can tell with a little investigation, Lord Zhao, do you think so?"

Zhao Xin said helplessly: "What the lord said is that Chunyu Huan... Although what Chunyu Huan said cannot be completely matched, but... it is roughly the same."

Chu Huan nodded with a smile and asked, "Mr. Zhao, I would like to ask for advice. What are the main uses of the equipment in the Hyogo of the Ministry of War?"

"The main thing is to replace the equipment for the Imperial Guards." Zhao Xin said: "In addition, the replacement of the ordnance equipment of the local prefecture army is also... also under the responsibility of the Ministry of War."

"So that's it." Chu Huan frowned and said, "But as far as I know, the situation in Xiguan after the war was different. Local prefectures and imperial guards no longer exist, waiting for reconstruction. So where do you go with such a huge number of weapons and equipment in Hyogo?"

Zhao Xin's forehead was already sweating, hesitating, and did not answer immediately, but heard a "pop" sound. Chu Huan had one hand heavily on the table. Zhao Xin was not very brave, but was already shocked at this time. Seeing Chu Huan's expression became cold, his voice was like cold bing: "Zhao Xin, I asked you, are you greedy for these equipment?"

Zhao Xin's expression changed drastically and said in a lost voice: "Sir, this... is absolutely not. Xiaguan... Xiaguan has no such courage. These are tens of thousands of pieces of equipment. Xiaguan even has great courage, and he dare not... nor dare to make any idea of ​​these equipment!"

Chu Huan was no longer as kind as before and sneered: "Zhao Xin, you also know that I, Daqin, have a sword hunting order, and the people are not allowed to hide weapons privately, and they are prohibited from private transactions. However, those who violate the order will be dealt with astray. Such a large number of military equipment disappeared from Hyogo. If you, the head of the Ministry of War, cannot give an answer, I will kill you for treason... I believe you also know that before I came to Xiguan to take office, the emperor gave me a golden sword, which can act cheaply and have the power to take action first and then report."

Zhao Xin's face turned pale and said, "Governor General, Hyogo's military equipment has been allocated to the Pingxi Army. For this matter... You can go to General Dongfang for inquiries about this matter."

"General Eastern?" Chu Huan sneered: "Hyuko equipment disappeared. I only need to find you. What's the use of finding him? He is the Pingxi Army, the army of the court, and does not belong to the local military system and is not controlled by the governor. You know this better than the governor. Hyuko's military equipment, you said just now, can only be provided to the local army. What qualifications does the Pingxi Army have to mobilize equipment from the local Hyuko? You must know that this is contrary to the laws of the court, and private transfer of weapons is also the same as treason!"

Zhao Xin finally understood Chu Huan's intention. Chu Huan's move today was to kill Zhao Xin off guard. He was completely unprepared and was already panicked, but he still defended: "Sir, many of the equipment stored in the Hyoku were allocated by the imperial court to fight against the people of Xiliang. The predecessor of the Pingxi Army was the main force leading the fight against the people of Xiliang...!"

Chu Huan raised his hand and interrupted, "I know what you mean. Do you think that Hyogo's preparation was allocated to the Northwest Army by the court. Is it natural to transfer those weapons and equipment to the Pingxi Army?"

Zhao Xin felt Chu Huan's eyes sharp and still a little timid, but he still reluctantly said: "It is true. The lower officials think that there is nothing wrong with the Pingxi Army calling weapons."

Chu Huan sneered: "Zhao Xin, Zhao Xin, I am very strange now. How could Governor Zhu recommend you as the head of the Ministry of War? You know nothing about the affairs of the Ministry of War. It seems that Governor Zhu has misunderstood."

Zhao Xinxin was angry and said, "The subordinates are not talented, but what the lord said is difficult to accept. Although the subordinates have not served for a long time, they humbly ask for advice and are still familiar with the affairs of the Ministry of War."

"Obvious?" Chu Huan showed disdain, "If the people of Xiliang still had one soldier and one soldier stayed in our territory of Qin, I would never ask about this matter. However, the people of Xiliang had already introduced the territory of our Qin. I am asking you, are the weapons and equipment you allocated to fight against the people of Xiliang? Although the predecessor of the Pingxi Army was the main force against the people of Xiliang, don't forget that there was no Pingxi Army at that time, but the Northwest Army. The old general Yu organized the Pingxi Army, so he saw the chaos in Xiguan, so he wanted to use the Pingxi Army to conquer the riots in Xiguan. The Pingxi Army was directly subordinate to the court and was not subject to the local area."

Zhao Xin's eyes twitched and asked, "Sir, since Hyogo's weapons were sent by the court, then... it is understandable to transfer them to the Pingxi Army to suppress bandits."

"The relocation of the various yamen to Shuoquan means that the local yamen has returned to normal and each performs its duties." Chu Huan said slowly: "The Ministry of War has entered Shuoquan and the Hyoqu is moved back to Shuoquan. Then the Ministry of War is directly under the Governor's Office. Hyoqu is also a local yamen. All equipment in the Hyoqu can only be called to the local army in Xiguan. Don't you understand this?" He snorted coldly and said: "The court has no order to pacify the Western Army and can call the local Hyoqu. Without such a special order, the local yamen will do it according to the inherent laws of the court. Dongfangxin has no right to find a place to ask for equipment, and you have no right to mobilize a weapon from the Hyoqu. Now, Lord Zhao has transferred the Hyoqu to the empty space. I asked you, what power do you have to do this? Are you going to rebel?"

Zhao Xin opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know how to argue.

"Let's go back, even if the court really has a special order and Pingxi Army needs to update its equipment, then you can transfer the new weapons and equipment and replace the old equipment after the replacement. Where is it now?" Chu Huan stretched out his hand, "Mr. Zhao, you always have to give me an explanation!"

Zhao Xin raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, saying, "Yes... it's General Dongfang who came to him..."

"No matter who comes to me," Chu Huan waved his hand and said, "Dongfangxin is not controlled by this governor. This governor has no right to ask for his military affairs, so he naturally has no right to mobilize equipment from the local Hyogo. For this governor, there is no difference between Dongfangxin and an ordinary citizen coming to me, and he is also ineligible. Lord Zhao, if an ordinary citizen who is not qualified to ask you for such a huge number of preparations, you generously send the Hyogo out of nothing. I really want to ask you, what is the difference between this and rebellion?"

"Well... what is the meaning of the adults?"

"In theory, if you break the law, this governor can punish your crime now, but in this case, you may not be convinced. In the war between Xiguan, some things are still relatively chaotic. If you make a mistake in your new official taking office, your lenient and generous position will be yourselves. Chu Huan leaned on his chair, picked up the teacup, and said slowly: "This governor now gives you two choices. The first is to bring all the weapons and equipment sent to the Pingxi Army. Even if it is a piece of rotten iron and rag, you must take them back. This governor will give you three days. If the time limit is reached and the governor has not seen it back, then this governor can only report to the court for abuse of power and suspected of rebellion."

“What is the second option?”

"The second choice is, I believe you will not choose." Chu Huan said lightly: "If you don't have this plan and are not going to take back the materials, I will not waste time. I will give you a second way. I will arrest you and imprison you now. Moreover, I believe that such a big thing, Lord Zhao will not only be involved in the Ministry of War. I will tell you openly and honestly that Lord Zhao will rectify the Ministry of War... For vigorous rectification, I should still have this power. You are not qualified as the head of the Ministry of War. I suspect that the Ministry of War has several competent officials." I took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and looked at Zhao Xin coldly, "Mr. Zhao, what is your choice?"
