Chapter 45 Tainted with Man's Habits

Chu Nanyue's saber was not pointed at the panicked Zhao Jingyu, but stabbed into the cloth bag containing the grain.

As soon as her sword flipped deeply, she withdrew from the cloth bag, and then raised the sword in front of Zhao Jingyu's eyes, and said indifferently: "Shizi, why don't you take a look at what is in your grain now?" ”

"What else can there be but food?" Zhao Jingyu didn't know why.

He looked up a little dazedly, but he saw that the sword was wrapped around a ball of cotton wool of very poor material, a little black.

How can there be such a thing in a cloth bag containing grain?

Looking at this scene, Zhao Jingyu was stunned for a while.

Chu Nanyue threw the sword to Zhou Yuanqi, and he approached and lifted out the cloth bag that had been cracked.

She tore it with both hands, and the inside was all visible in front of everyone.

Zhao Jingyu no longer had too many scruples, and personally stepped forward and took out the cotton wool in the cloth bag little by little, until he took out a full half of the bag, and he found the grain under it.

"Shizi, do you still dare to guarantee that the grain you transported is enough for 4,000 stones?" Chu Nanyue looked at him and said calmly.

Zhao Jingyu was speechless for a while, he didn't know how to answer such a question.

There is no need for Chu Nanyue to give orders in person, Zhou Yuanqi has already brought a team of people to search and inspect all the carriages transporting grain and grass in this way.

After the end, Zhou Yuanqi stepped forward and replied: "General, there is no problem with the carriages in the front and back, only the ten in the middle have problems, and they can be counted as about half of the ten cars less, that is, four hundred stone of grain." ”

"Four hundred stone grain." Chu Nanyue repeated in her mouth, she looked at Zhao Jingyu and said, "Shizi, this trip to transport grain is only four thousand, and you will go here less than four hundred, don't you think it's enough for this kind of weight?" ”

There was a lot of food in the army, and the decrease of 12/10 means that there was no food for the last few days of the month.

"General Chu, this is not what I did, they have someone in charge, I am only responsible for transportation." Zhao Jingyu couldn't help but be anxious to explain.

"I'm not trying to hold you to account." Chu Nanyue said, "But when you get the grain, you should check it carefully, the grain is all on the shoulders of people and bags against the carriage, these cars are missing half of the weight, can't they feel it?" ”

The only reason, presumably, is that some of them have been bought.

Chu Nanyue knew that at this juncture, Zhao Jingyu was eager to make meritorious contributions and sit in his official position, and it was impossible for him to think of deducting food, and he couldn't think of such a method, so there were other people who were secretly greedy.

"They were originally trustworthy to me, how could they ......" Zhao Jingyu thought of his cousin Dongling Yan, the seventh prince, and most of the people who contacted him were recommended to him by Dongling Yan.

"But since it has changed hands to many people, you should understand that not everyone is trustworthy, and it is indispensable to guard against others." Chu Nanyue looked at him indifferently, "Everyone has greed, if you don't strictly check, they will fish in troubled waters." ”

Those people are not Zhao Jingyu, and they don't have to be responsible for the escort of grain and grass, as long as Zhao Jingyu didn't find out at the time, then Zhao Jingyu was responsible for anything that happened after it arrived.

"General Chu, it's me who overlooked." Zhao Jingyu lowered his head in shame, "I am fully responsible for the lack of food this time, and I will send it in person soon tomorrow." ”

At the moment, in order to let Chu Nanyue let himself go, Zhao Jingyu had no choice but to suffer this loss and pay out of his own pocket to make up for the shortcoming.

"Okay, but you don't have to send it tomorrow, I will let Deputy General Zhou personally go to your house, check the food one by one, and then my own soldiers will personally transport it back." Chu Nanyue said.

Zhao Jingyu couldn't hear the sarcasm in Chu Nanyue's words, but it was himself who made the mistake, so he only stiffened his face and said: "This is natural, I just want to trouble General Chu's people again, thank you." ”

The matter was dealt with, Chu Nanyue did not talk to him again, but took his own soldiers to unload the food that had no problem from the carriage first, and then transported it back in bags.

The soldiers came and went in a hurry, and Zhao Jingyu stood there alone, and couldn't help but look a little in the way.

He moved his body and followed behind Chu Nanyue, remembering Chu Nanyue's sharp eyes, he asked curiously: "General Chu, how can you see that there will be a problem with the food here?" ”

If he remembered correctly, when he just got off the horse, Chu Nanyue already looked a little wrong.

Although Chu Nanyue didn't want to deal with Zhao Jingyu, she knew that he was the one in charge of escorting the grain and grass this time, Yu Gong, she couldn't ignore Zhao Jingyu, so she had to say concisely: "Look at the stopped carriage." ”

"What?" Zhao Jingyu didn't understand what she meant for a while.

"When the wagons carrying grain and grass stopped, the distance between the wagons was not right." Chu Nanyue continued, "If the car is full of grain and grass of the same weight, the walking speed should be the same, and the distance when it stops is naturally about the same. But the middle of your carriage and horses follow very closely, and throw the carriages and horses behind them very far. ”

When she looked at it from a distance after leaving the camp, she felt that something was not right.

"But what if only the coachman drove the horses differently?" Zhao Jingyu asked, "It's hard to say the distance between the carriages. ”

"So I was just a little skeptical at the time, and then I approached the carriages to see the marks of the wheels on the ground." Chu Nanyue said indifferently, "The land in the suburbs is softer, and when the carriage passes by, it is easy to leave a mark, but these ones are much shallower than the others." ”

Zhao Jingyu's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but continue her words with admiration: "That's why you used the sword to check, because you are already a little sure." ”

If the same officials had not really grasped that there was a problem with this batch of grain, they would not have used coercive means to inspect it so blatantly.

Chu Nanyue nodded lightly, and it was considered to reply to him. The matter has been clarified, and she has no intention of saying anything else to Zhao Jingyu, concentrating on directing the grain transportation.

Zhao Jingyu looked at Chu Nanyue's appearance of controlling the overall situation alone and seemingly being at ease, and he had a complicated feeling in his heart.

The relationship between the two families of Zhao Chu is close, but he has always had a good impression of the delicate and lovely Chu Nanxin, and he feels that Chu Nanyue has practiced martial arts since he was a child, which has been contaminated with many men's habits, which makes him unbearable.

But today, he looked at Chu Nanyue in a military uniform, which was clearly a woman's stunning appearance, but there was a cold and solemn air in his eyebrows and eyes, but he felt that it was particularly pleasing to the eye.

After some explanation, Chu Nanyue's heart was as careful as hair and his resourcefulness was superb, which couldn't help but make him awe-inspired.

It has been more than ten years since they met, and Zhao Jingyu felt for the first time that he really realized part of Chu Nanyue's appearance, the part that he had easily ignored before.
