Chapter 653: Is Meng Jian a Good Guy or a Bad Guy
Five days later.
Qin Shuang military camp.
"General, a bunch of people from outside the camp said they wanted to see you."
Qin Shuang was studying the book of war, and waved his hand when he heard the words: "Who is it?" ”
"There are ten people in total, gorgeously dressed, and they have the Royal Forest Army waist card in their hands."
The soldier replied.
Speaking of the Imperial Forest Army, Qin Shuang was suddenly shocked, the Imperial Forest Army generally does not leave the imperial capital, unless it is to protect Wang Xu's safety, so Wang Xu must be here.
Thinking of this, Qin Shuang suddenly got up and strode towards the outside of the camp.
Sure enough, when he came to the outside of the camp, he saw that familiar figure, who would it be if it wasn't Wang Xu.
"The last general will meet Your Majesty, long live my emperor."
"Let's go in and talk."
Wang Xu waved his hand and walked inward.
Qin Shuang also followed, and when he came to the big tent, Qin Shuang directly ordered all the soldiers to retreat, and then came to Wang Xu's side.
When Wang Xu saw this, he understood that Qin Shuang must have something to say.
Wang Xu said: "General Qin, this snowy county has become like this, but you said that the wind and rain here are smooth, give me an explanation, you are a crime of bullying the king!" ”
Hearing about the crime of bullying the king, Qin Shuang was not afraid, nor did he have a trace of fear, he looked at a few Imperial Forest Soldiers and Zhang Meng who were standing aside. Quite hesitant, Wang Xu saw this, and immediately asked the Imperial Forest Army to retreat, as for Zhang Meng, it was not necessary, Qin Shuang also knew that Zhang Meng's duty was to protect Wang Xu, which could be said to be inseparable. In this regard, he couldn't help but insist on saying more.
Qin Shuang took out a stack of papers from his arms, and then handed them to Wang Xu: "Your Majesty, you take a look at this first, and when you finish reading, you will understand what." ”
Wang Xu turned out to be those papers, and his brows furrowed deeply after reading them.
"Is this true?"
Qin Shuang nodded: "It's true!" Meng Jian, a traitor, he has long been Ling Feng's person, these are the letters they exchanged between them, which I intercepted and printed. It's not the original, but it's telling. ”
In the past few years, Meng Jian has repeatedly asked the Ministry of War that he needs to recruit county soldiers. His Majesty had said before that there could be no county soldiers in the snowy county, but somehow, this request was approved by the Ministry of War, and then Meng Jian recruited 50,000 county guards. It's been two years of rigorous training. The last general has been to see it, and they are all elites. ”
Wang Xu was shocked, he didn't expect such a big thing to happen in Snowy County...
However, based on Qin Shuang's words alone, as well as the so-called letters, Wang Xu still couldn't believe it, because those were not the original after all, and they couldn't explain the problem.
"What other evidence do you have?"
Wang Xu asked, "There is more." What you said has anything to do with your last recital and saying that the wind and rain in the snowy county are smooth? ”
"Of course it does."
Qin Shuang was anxious and said: "Over the years, the grain and grass sent by the household department have not been sent to the victims at all, all of them have gone into Meng Jian's pocket, and the last general has entered the city many times to investigate, and as soon as these grains arrived, they disappeared, and they couldn't be found anywhere, and the last general was suspicious." It has been shipped to the steppe! ”
"That being the case, what are you doing with transporting grain, isn't this cheap Ling Feng on the grassland?"
As soon as Qin Shuang finished speaking, Wang Xu took a deep breath. If this is the case, the fierce general is really bad, if he doesn't divide the five horses, it will be difficult to understand the hatred in his heart, Wang Xu is most afraid of Ling Feng now, although the grassland is fertile. But it takes time to mine, and Wang Xu is looking forward to pacifying the eastern, northern, and southern capitals before Ling Feng is completely developed. But if you follow Meng Jian's example, and directly transport hundreds of thousands of grains, grass and silver to the grassland, then things will be troublesome.
"Even if you are right, do you have any definite evidence? How can he be condemned on the basis of these alone? ”
Wang Xu said: "Since the establishment of my holy dynasty, everything must pay attention to evidence, you can't say that he is guilty, I will do it, right?" ”
Qin Shuangdao: "Then what should I do?" Will he be allowed to go on like this? ”
Wang Xu got up, looked at the big tent, and said, "Qin Shuang, you weren't stationed here before, right?" ”
Qin Shuang nodded: "The last general was originally stationed in the depths of the snowy region, because there are more people in the snowy region there, and the people are fierce, the last general is worried about the snowy people making trouble, but since he found out that Meng Jian and Ling Feng are in contact, the last general has come here, and it is not fifty miles away from the snowy county town, if there is really something, the last general can reach it in half a day, and Liang He Meng Jian can't afford any wind and waves." ”
"Uh-huh, you're doing the right thing."
Wang Xu said: "This matter is very important, I still have to verify, if what you said is true, then Meng Jian is dead!" ”
.........
First of all, we have to find out whether Meng Jian has colluded with Ling Feng, it is not difficult to say that it is not small, Meng Jian is also a resourceful person, and he will never leave any clues, in fact, Wang Xu is still doubting at this time, maybe what Qin Shuang said is not the truth? Why were those letters robbed by Qin Shuang, didn't Meng Jian know about this?
It's all a little too unreasonable.
However, since Qin Shuang said that, then he had to check and collude with Ling Feng, this was something he couldn't tolerate, if something went wrong, Ling Feng would develop rapidly, and its harm would be as great as a tornado!
Coming to Yan Qingcheng, Wang Xu took Zhang Meng to find an inn, and the eight royal forest soldiers also stayed in the inn, this city is a hundred miles away from the Qin Shuang's military camp, and two hundred miles away from the county seat where Meng Jian is located.
The reason why he came here was that Wang Xu wanted to figure out all the problems himself, and after he was clear, he would go back and handle the matter.
"Zhang Meng, since entering the hinterland of Snowy County, have you seen displaced victims?"
Wang Xu suddenly looked at Zhang Meng.
Hearing this, Zhang Meng was also a little puzzled: "That's right, why didn't I see any of them, I only saw a few batches when I first arrived in the snowy region, and the further I went, the more victims were gone." ”
Wang Xu nodded: "Go, find a local person, I want to ask." ”
"No."
With that, Zhang Meng turned around and left.
After a while, he walked up with a middle-aged man, oh no, it can't be said that it was brought, to be exact, it was arrested, because the middle-aged man was extremely uncooperative, so Zhang Meng was angry and brought him up.
Throwing it in front of Wang Xu, Zhang Meng smiled and said, "Ninth Master, someone brought it." ”
"Look up."
Wang Xu looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "Let me ask you, the disaster in this snowy county is so serious, why can't you see a single victim on the road, where are the victims?" ”
The man was obviously afraid of Zhang Meng, and when he heard this, he said, "Return... Back to the ninth master's words, the victims were gathered by the county guard to make unified arrangements in Qixia County, and all of them built houses, so there were no disaster victims on the road. ”
Wang Xu said: "Is Lord County Shou a good person?" ”
"Of course it is, the county keeper not only helped the people build houses, but also gave porridge once a day in Qixia County, and I don't know how many lives were saved."
The man said.
Wang Xu smiled bitterly and shook his head, he was very confused now, is this Meng Jian a good person? Or a traitor?
Originally, Wang Xu had already decided that Meng Jian was a traitor, but now, he was a little uncertain, since Meng Jian had taken refuge in Ling Feng, why should he save those victims? Is there still a glimmer of conscience?
"Alright, let's go."
Wang Xu waved his hand, and then, Zhang Meng lifted the man out, a strong man of more than two hundred catties, just like lifting a rabbit, without effort.
"Qixia County, Zhang Meng, go find a map, I want to take a look."
"No."
Holding the map in his hand, Wang Xu quickly found the location of Qixia County, which was an inconspicuous small county, with only a black dot on the map, however, after Wang Xu looked at it for a while, he was ready to take a look in person, because he couldn't really understand anything from the map.
...........
Snowy County will put aside for now.
At this time on the grassland, Ling Feng was overjoyed to see the 200,000 loads of grain transported from the west, and immediately convened all the generals to discuss the matter. Preparations for the expansion of the army, etc.
That's right, Meng Jian is a spy and a traitor!
I'm afraid that everyone doesn't believe it, and they can't believe it, but he did it, it's unbelievable, he rebelled against Wang Xu at such a time, I really don't know whether to call him stupid or bold. (To be continued.) )
