"Eldest princess, do you mean that Li Zhi deliberately wanted us to find out?" Feng Qing frowned, "It shouldn't be, he kidnapped the eldest princess in order to prevent the matter of grain and grass from being investigated so quickly, how could he deliberately provoke everything." ”

"Then what if there is an inside story about the embezzlement of grain and grass?"

Feng Qing frowned, full of doubts in his heart, "Embezzling grain and grass is a big deal, if there is really any inside story, why doesn't he say it." Moreover, if he did not do it, why should he confess his guilt? ”

Feng Yihan was silent for a moment, and then said, "Feng Qing, you go and check it out to see if anything has happened to Li Zhi recently." ”

So far, it feels like there's always something hidden underneath that hasn't been discovered.

"Yes, my subordinates obey." Feng Qing arched his hand and spoke.

……

In the barracks tent, when Hu Heng came in, Chu Xiping's face turned pale.

"General, are you still worried about Li Zhi's affairs?"

"Where there is worry, it is clearly annoyance!" Chu Xiping frowned, "After all, he also fought from the battlefield with us, how could he be so confused, and he actually started the idea of grain and grass!" ”

Now in the spare time, coupled with the generosity of the imperial court, for the soldiers at the border pass, the grain and grass are quite sufficient, but once it is wartime, if the later rush can't keep up, the grain and grass can be the lives of the soldiers.

"General, the last general and Li Zhi have known each other for many years, maybe he was just confused this time, so he committed such a wrong thing......"

"Confused? His embezzlement of grain and grass is not a momentary thing, and according to the charges he confesses, this matter has been going on for two or three years. If it weren't for the revelation of the affairs in the court this time, maybe it would have continued. ”

Chu Xiping said angrily, reached out and slapped the table in front of him heavily.

"General, has Li Zhi already admitted it, will there be any misunderstanding in this matter, maybe he was wronged?" Hu Heng frowned and said.

"He himself has confessed to all the crimes, and he has already signed the charge, so what can be any misunderstanding." Chu Xiping took a deep breath, "A full fifty thousand taels of silver, how many soldiers are the grain and grass." ”

Hu Heng frowned, "If they have already admitted it, then has Taifu Feng also reported to the imperial court?" ”

"I don't know very well." Chu Xiping paused, "Could it be that you still want to intercede for him, let this matter be concealed, and don't report it to the court?" ”

It's not that he doesn't know that Li Zhi and Hu Heng are also brothers who grew up together, and they joined the army at the same time.

"General, the last general didn't mean that." Hu Heng hurriedly spoke, "In the face of military law, personal friendship is naturally nothing. ”

"If only you knew." Chu Xiping frowned, "This time I blame General Ben, I really trust him too much on weekdays, I didn't expect him to do such a thing, and I couldn't find out in time, so that he fell deeper and deeper!" ”

"Then if this matter is reported to the court...... How will Li Zhi be punished? ”

"Embezzling grain and grass, and kidnapping the eldest princess, must be a dead end." Chu Xi took a deep breath slowly, "It's just that he is also to blame for all this, no wonder others." ”

Hu Heng nodded, "General, don't worry, the next general will definitely rectify the barracks, there will never be a second time for such a thing." ”

"Okay, you go down." Chu Xiping sighed and nodded.

And after Hu Heng left, Chu Xiping couldn't sit still in the barracks, and finally returned to the general's mansion to see Feng Yihan.

"Uncle, the embezzlement of grain and grass has nothing to do with you, so why do you have to take the blame on yourself."

"Qingyan, although I don't know anything about embezzling grain and grass, but no matter what, Li Zhi is under my command after all, and I do have the crime of lax discipline."

"General Chu has been stationed at the border all the year round, and he has worked hard and made great achievements, even if he is a little negligent in this matter, the emperor will definitely not take care of it. General Chu didn't have to feel guilty and blame himself in his heart. Feng Yihan said.

"The emperor doesn't blame, that's the emperor's grace, but as a courtier, since he has made a mistake, he naturally has to ask for guilt." Chu Xi's face was serious, "I have already thought about it, I want to write down an excerpt to ask for sin, if Taifu Feng has not sent someone to send the fold of this report, please also bring my most affectionate excerpt and present it to the emperor together." ”

Seeing that Chu Xiping had already decided, Feng Yihan didn't persuade him any more, "The fold hasn't been sent out yet, since that's the case, General Chu will just write the fold and send someone to send it over." ”

"Okay." Chu Xiping nodded, "I'll write an excerpt and let someone send it later, and there will be no delay." ”

"General Chu doesn't need to be in a hurry, writing a chapter to report to the emperor may be delayed for a few days."

Chu Xiping was stunned for a moment, "Hasn't Li Zhi already confessed, the truth of the matter has been revealed, why should it be delayed for a few days?" ”

"Uncle, I always think this matter is still a little strange, so I want to investigate more."

"What's strange?" Chu Xiping asked.

Yun Qingyan and Feng Yihan glanced at each other before they spoke: "Although Li Zhi has already confessed his guilt and explained everything clearly, there is no problem, but he is sure of this matter, but he did it alone and has nothing to do with others. However, the matter of embezzling grain and grass is very important, and if he is really the only one who knows about it from beginning to end, this matter is inevitably a little strange. ”

Listening to Yun Qingyan's words, Chu Xiping frowned, "The grain and grass in the military camp are indeed in charge of Li Zhilai, and those people under his command should all act according to his orders." Maybe he was a little careful when he used his hands and feet, and didn't let people find any flaws, so as not to cause the East Window incident. ”

"But even so, the annual amount of grain, grass and silver is not a small amount, even if others have not paid attention to it, but the people under his command should be aware of it." Yun Qingyan paused, "That general named Wang Yuan is very loyal to Li Zhi, and it can be seen that Li Zhi also trusts him very much, but he didn't even know about this matter, and it wasn't until we came to the border that Li Zhi told him, which is a little strange." ”

"Wang Yuan, he didn't know before?" Chu Xiping was stunned.

Feng Yihan opened his mouth and replied, "I have already interrogated him, and he really didn't know it at first. Now that he is accused of kidnapping Yan'er, there is no need to lie about these things. ”

"So, it's a bit weird." Chu Xiping thought for a moment, "What does Taifu Feng mean next?" ”

Feng Yihan gently hooked the corners of his mouth, "Li Zhi must be hiding something, if you want to answer these doubts, you need to find out what he is hiding." ”
