Ling Suyun felt a burst of shame and anger in her heart. Finally, Chen Sheng has only recently begun to become serious, but within a few days, he has become flamboyant again. Fortunately, the relationship between the two is no longer as strange as before, and Ling Suyun also knows Chen Sheng's temperament, so she just glanced at Chen Sheng and did not entangle him on this issue. She said: "You see the officials of these counties, all the people who were arrested, they were all magistrates near the rivers. This shows that the officials bribed by thieves, as long as they are still in the direction of regionality, are not deliberately aimed at a certain person, only the officials who are connected to various places along the rivers and rivers, and the fleet goes back and forth frequently, even if they are noticed, it is impossible to report to the imperial court. ”

Chen Sheng nodded, Ling Suyun's analysis was the most reasonable. From the results of Meng Yi's interrogation, there was no evidence that could directly identify Li Si, and if Li Si was involved in the case, even if these officials tried to cover it up, they would still leave some clues to trace.

"Doctor Chen, the ship has docked, and Gongzi has invited the two of you to go to the Yugan camp together to inspect military affairs." While the two were still thinking about this issue, Hu Huiyong knocked on the cabin door and called respectfully. After claiming that Chen Sheng was knighted, these guards were extremely polite to him. When he first got the title, Chen Sheng thought that his ninth-ranked fifth doctor was just a small title and didn't care at all. He is only familiar with the various official positions of the empire, but he is blind to the arrangement of the empire's titles.

Later, after Ling Suyun's careful explanation, he realized that although his title of the fifth doctor was not high, there were not many people in the court who were not generals in the army, and there were really not many people who could receive such honors. After the Shang Dynasty changed the law, the title of Qin State has always been only awarded to those who have military merits. No matter how big the official position is, even if you are a nobleman, if you have no military merits, you cannot inherit the title of elder. For example, in today's imperial court, the highest title is the twenty-first marquis of Che, and the people with this title include Wang Jian and Wang Ben's father and son, because the father and son presided over the war to destroy the Six Kingdoms and made outstanding achievements; But the prime minister in the court, Lord Li Si, the title is only the eleventh-ranked Zuo Chief, this is still a special gift from the emperor, if according to the size of the military merits, I am afraid that Lord Li Si will not even be able to get the title of the lowest level of duke. This is the difference between a civil servant and a military general. With a title, you can get the reward you deserve, Chen Sheng's current title has at least 300 stone of Yulu every year, which is equal to the amount of Yulu for a year of a county order.

After about twenty days of tossing and turning on the ship, the fleet had reached Yugan in Jiujiang County. Yugan is the starting point of the imperial army's southeast, and General Zhao Tuo led the 100,000 troops of the imperial court to invade Dongou and Minyue from this place, and the local natives are in fierce battles. Zhao Tuo's military command ability is not weak, if it were not for the insufficient supply of grain and grass, I am afraid that he would have completely defeated the local resistance forces and incorporated the southeast and southern barbarian lands into the territory of the empire.

"So fast?" Chen Sheng was slightly stunned.

"Fast?" Ling Suyun retorted: "If you don't stop and go all the way along the river, you can go directly to Yugan from Pengcheng within ten days." "The Ling Suyun family has a large fleet of ships transporting goods, and they have a very clear grasp of the speed of the ships. In this regard, she is the authority. Chen Sheng just shrugged his shoulders and smiled. During this period of time, he got along with Ling Suyun, and he didn't know how quickly time passed.

Walking on the deck, Chen Sheng found that before leaving, the residual snow on the side of Surabaya County was still dissolving, but when he arrived here, the riverside was already green and grassy, and it looked like spring in March.

Fusu and Meng Yi were leaning on the side of the boat, looking into the distance. Seeing Chen Sheng walk out, a playful smile appeared on Meng Yi's face. Seeing Chen Sheng sticking to Ling Suyun like a dog's skin ointment, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. This Chen Sheng is young, but he is really bold, he is also thick-skinned, and he is also very smart, and he can find a reason to stay by Ling Suyun's side every day. You must know that Ling Suyun faced him, the county guard of the Inner History County of the Great Qin Empire and Lord Xianyang Lingmeng, and his tone was very cold.

However, Meng Yi also knew that Ling Suyun was a popular candidate for the next generation of the Ling family, and he originally intended to push Ling Suyun to Fusu. If Fusu has the Ling family behind him, then he will have a greater chance of competing for the crown prince and the throne in the future. But because of this, for fear of arousing the emperor's vigilance and misunderstanding, things are even worse. So he could only let Chen Sheng mess around.

Although Fusu is young, he can't withstand the temptation of beauty like Chen Sheng. As a descendant of the Ying family, he has the blood of the first emperor in his body, and he is more interested in the competition for power, this time in order to give the court a satisfactory volume, he put all his energy into the case of investigating the whereabouts of grain and grass, and he didn't pay attention to Ling Suyun's beauty and net worth at all.

"Childe, my lord." Seeing Meng Yi and Fusu waiting for him. Chen Sheng sneered and bowed down to confess.

Fusu smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "No need to be polite." Last night, we received a pre-military express that General Zhao Tuo had recently broken through an earthen city of Dongou Wang, and found that there was a large amount of grain and grass in it, with a total of 300,000 stones, all of which were wheat from the north. He speculated that Zhang Liang had transported it into Don'ou. Fusu's tone was flat, as if he was saying something that was not very important, but Chen Sheng listened to it with a pang in his heart.

"So, Zhang Liang has already transferred the grain and grass to Don'ou?" Chen Sheng frowned slightly and said.

"It's not clear. However, from the mouths of the officials we arrested and interrogated, we learned that Zhang Liang's fleet only passed through Jiujiang County and did not stop, and now it is only waiting for Heishui Pavilion to inquire about the news of Changsha County and Hengshan County. If Zhang Liang's fleet had not entered these two places, it could be concluded that all the grain and grass purchased by the thieves had been transported to the barbarian land. Fusu's tone was still flat. This poise made Gu Zheng admire.

Seeing that Fusu was so calm, Chen Sheng also relieved himself. After thinking about it, he said, "If the military rations flow into Donou, what should be good?" ”

Meng Yi, who was silent, flashed a gleam in his eyes and said, "Then we will extinguish Dongou and get the food back." Meng Yi's tone was full of awe-inspiring domineering, obviously full of confidence.

Before, Meng Yi didn't dare to have this kind of confidence. However, with the recovery of hundreds of thousands of stone grain, the lack of military food and materials was alleviated in time. Now Zhao Tuo's army has won another great victory, seizing 300,000 military rations from the enemy, and its morale is booming. An army of 100,000 swept through Dongou Minyue. It's just a matter of time.
