Chapter 213: McGregor, the Elder of the Council

Stacks of patriarchal documents were put on display, with various powers and administrative records of the patriarchs, which were written in more detail. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Among them, there is a veteran of McGray who controls Ionia's military spending, and the time and military expenditure reported above, Chunxiao, an outsider, can see that something is wrong at once.

Yi and Udir were already guarding the council hall, and no one could enter without Irelia's orders.

Chunxiao pointed to the military expenditure over the years, as well as the number of soldiers in the army, just feeling that there was a problem.

"Have you checked the issue of military spending?" Chunxiao asked.

Irelia shook her head awkwardly, "It's the elders who are responsible, I trust them." ā€

Chunxiao pointed to the military expenditure above and said: "Two years ago, when you were attacked by Noxus, the military salary expenditure reported above was 200,000 troops, but at that time I was also on the battlefield, think about it carefully, if you have 200,000 troops, will Noxus be swept away like a withering and decaying army?" ā€

Irelia's face finally changed, and she said, "At that time, I remember that our army was only about 100,000 people, and under the strength of Noxus, which was several times our strength, we had no power to resist, but I didn't expect it to be like this." ā€

Chunxiao took the military expenditure in the past few years and continued: "You see that the military expenditure in the past few years is still about 70,000 or 80,000 troops' salary, but I dare to say that your current army does not exceed 40,000, do you dare to bet with me." ā€

Irelia asked Karma to get the army's number.

Chunxiao smiled and didn't speak.

The list was brought, and it recorded all kinds of soldiers and martyrs in Ionia and even deserters, which was also very detailed.

The number was written about nearly 70,000 active troops, but Chunxiao was not surprised.

Irelia was about to go to the patriarch, but was directly stopped by Chunxiao.

"Leah, what are you anxious about? I'm not done yet, at least you have to understand the whole process of corruption. Chunxiao said unhurriedly.

Irelia said indignantly, "I must punish him severely. ā€

Chunxiao shook his head: "I dare to say, even if he commits a lot of corruption, your punishment for him is to go to prison, not the death penalty, isn't it?" ā€

Irelia nodded, "How do you know?" ā€

Chunxiao laughed: "I guessed!" You have committed such a big crime against them, and it is as simple as just putting them in jail, no wonder they dare to make mistakes. ā€

Obviously not knowing what to do, Irelia asked, "Brother Chun, what should I do then?" ā€

Chunxiao said slowly: "This person has embezzled the military salaries of 100,000 people, presumably life is very good, and your soldiers don't know how they are doing?" ā€

"Think about it this way, are these patriarchs hereditary?"

"Yes!" Irelia replied.

Chunxiao secretly said that this was indeed the case.

"There is a very powerful neighbor in my hometown, and when they deal with a small country, they send a division of troops, about 10,000 people, but in fact there are only about 2,000 people, why?"

Chunxiao continued.

"There are officers in the middle who have falsely reported the amount of military salaries, and they have greatly lost the money that makes the soldiers bleed, so when they fight, the big country can't beat the small country."

"Your patriarch has taken the salary of 100,000 soldiers, if he doesn't take it, there are still 100,000 soldiers, and if he commands properly, there is no problem in blocking Noxus, at least he will not be defeated so completely. Do you know how many of your soldiers have died in vain because of the moths of these city-states? ā€

After Chunxiao finished speaking, he walked aside, tore off a piece of the armor of a soldier outside and said: "See, even if it is your soldier, come to risk his life to defend the country, the effect is so miserable, because you are still deducted in equipment, Noxus's armament equipment, real armor, knives and guns are not easy to penetrate, how can you compare with this bamboo armor that can hurt for a long time with a punch?" ā€

The more Irelia listened to it, the more angry she became, and Chunxiao knew that her effect had worked.

"If you think about the city-state, for the sake of your people, you should know that it is the soldiers, not the moths, who guard the city-state. Think more about your people who died in the war. ā€

Irelia went out at once, and Chunxiao immediately followed.

Soon Irelia arrived at the patriarch's residence, and from the outside, it was impossible to see the luxury of this residence.

MacGray is well-known in Ionia, controlling the expenditure of military salaries, as well as his own personal guard, and has his own power.

Irelia was stopped when she tried to enter, and McGregory's palace guards were well-armed and not on the same level as the government army.

"I'm Irelia, I'm coming to Elder McGregory, and you're letting me in to meet him." Irelia suppressed her anger.

The guard said coldly, "No one can go in without an order from an adult." ā€

Obviously, I don't take Irelia in my eyes at all, Chunxiao is also sad to see all this, as the head of the country, his power is hollowed out, and he can't control his subordinates, and no one listens to his orders.

Chunxiao stepped forward and said loudly: "Presumptuous! This is the lord of Ionia, there is no place in Ionia where she can't go, what are you two things, and you dare to talk to adults like this? ā€

The two guards twisted their heads to the side, their expressions dismissive.

Irelia trembled with anger, Chunxiao stepped forward in an instant, and before the two guards could react, they were directly twisted by him.

"If you don't obey, then I won't talk nonsense, let's go in!"

Irelia followed, and Yi and the others followed.

Although this MacGrah's mansion was not large, it was very exquisite, and it was well built, and there were many guards on guard, although it was not as good as a sentry in five steps, but they were discovered after only a few steps.

It seems that this person is very guarded and secure.

"Who are you? How did you get in? Didn't you know this was Lord McGregory's residence? A man who looked like a leader came and drank at them.

Chunxiao said coldly, "Call McGregory out." ā€

The leader ignored his opponent's order: "Drag it out first, don't annoy the nature of the adult." ā€

A group of subordinates are ready to come up and do it, and Yi and the others are also ready to do it.

But they stopped suddenly, and it turned out that McGregory had heard a great commotion outside.

Seeing Irelia and Yi, McGregory was a little surprised, not understanding why they were here.

"Irelia, what are you doing here?" McGregory called the city lord by name, and didn't take her seriously from his expression.

Irelia said angrily: "Did you embezzle military salaries, are you guilty?" ā€

Chunxiao slapped her head, how could anyone come up and say the guilt directly, it would be in vain for you to ask like this.

McGregory was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Who said, do you know how serious the consequences of slandering a patriarch are?" ā€

"I wonder how serious it is?" Chunxiao caught his words.

When McGregory saw this guy, I didn't know him, but he still said, "One word, die!" ā€

"Papapa" Chunxiao applauded: "You are so powerful, McGregory, you don't have the ability to tell me the word dead, but your embezzlement of military salaries is a certainty, and you are so superior, and it is even more criminal, what do you have to defend?" ā€

"What about the evidence?"

Chunxiao directly took out the roster of army recruitment, and pointed to the various unknown information on it: "These are your virtual people, don't even bother to make up the information, turn a few pages, and even the names of the people in the back are the same as the ones in front, this is not funny, can you be more unprofessional in fraud." ā€

"That's all the evidence?"

"I've seen the armor and swords of the Ionian army, they are of inferior quality, and the guards in your house are all well-equipped, do you think there is a problem?"

"Anything else?"

"Just go to your house and search it!"

"Do you dare?"

"I dare!"

"Then come in!"
