540 Don't Think I Don't Dare to Kill You

The moment he said that, everyone's expression changed.

The supplies officer's face darkened. "What did you just say? Repeat it!"

"Sir, only the supplies at the top are real. Everything below is old grain mixed with sand. I don't want to see the soldiers at the border protecting our country go hungry!"

The supplies officer glanced at Xie Heng coldly.

Xie Heng's expression was calm as usual. He said impassively, "Can I have a word with you?"

The supplies officer sneered and said, "Are you going to bribe me?"

"You've misunderstood." Xie Heng didn't seem nervous at all.

"Wait, let me take a look at the supplies first."

"It's the same if you look at it later."

"You..."

"Sir, Xie Heng is an evil and insidious man. He's trying to drag you into his ploy. Don't fall for it!" yelled the soldier.

Xie Heng looked at the soldier. Although his eyes contained no emotion, they somehow exerted so much pressure on the soldier that he could barely breathe. He couldn't help but take a step back subconsciously.

Upon seeing that, the supplies started to suspect that soldier instead.

"Let's go, Official Xie." The supplies officer was quite confident that Xie Heng wouldn't dare do anything to him, so he walked away first.

Xie Heng followed him.

"Now it's just you and me. You can just tell me what you want to say." The supplies officer's tone still wasn't very friendly.

"He is right. Most of these supplies are filled with sand. This isn't the supplies that the Ministry of Revenue had gathered for us." Xie Heng got straight to the point.

"What?!" The supplies officer was furious. "We are putting our lives on the line out here, fighting off aliens. How can you guys do this to our supplies?!"

"Please remain calm. I'm not done yet."

"What else do you have to say? Xie Heng, don't think I won't kill you."

"I know you dare to, but you're no match for me."

"You..."

"You would've heard that our trip here wasn't a peaceful one. I think you know better than me whether the 'bandits' are actually bandits. I can just tell you straight up that there are quite a few people in the Imperial City who want me dead."

The supplies officer sneered. "Is that your reason for messing with the supplies?"

Xie Heng remained calm. "I've never said that. I want us to win the war at Tianlang Checkpoint more than anyone else. That's why I swapped out the supplies before setting off. The actual supplies were delivered to Ganning City several days ago.

"As for these, they're just to confuse our enemies. I am not a hero, but I know that everyone is responsible when our country is in danger. If we can't deliver the supplies, our dynasty will become the enemy's territory."

"Good talk, but if I find out that you lied about any of it, I will make sure you pay for it, even if it costs me my own life."

The supplies officer said, but his expression had clearly become less hostile.

He turned and walked to one of the carts. He picked a random bag and sliced it open. As Xie Heng said, it was just sand mixed with old grain. He even saw some worms crawling around in the bag.

The supplies officer felt his blood pressure rising. He checked ten other bags at random. Other than the bags at the top, all other bags are the same as the first.

The supplies officer's face turned completely black, as if a storm was about to ensue.

Xie Heng waited for him to finish checking before giving an order. "Take him down!"

The officer was infuriated. "Xie Heng, how dare you..."

Before he could complete his sentence, he saw Xie Heng's men go over and tie up the soldier who tried to report Xie Heng.

"Let's go. We'll go see the real supplies."

Xie Heng pretended not to see the embarrassment on the officer's face as he walked away.

Chuchu said that she just needed some time to swap out all the supplies. However, it's been quite a while, so she should be done by now.
