Chapter 305 Doubts in my heart
In the big tent, all the generals were waiting, and Baizhu was also busy with the work in his hands and waited there, seeing Yun Yuhong, everyone asked: "Ghost King, what happened, why did you get poisoned again?" β
Yun Yuhong said lightly: "Medium food poisoning, the rice may have been stored for a long time and become moldy, of course, it is not ruled out that it is man-made, I will send someone to find out about this matter." Turning to look at Baizhu, Yun Yuhong asked, "How are those soldiers?" β
Baizhu nodded and said, "No problem, I've taken all the medicine, and it's good to rest for a day." β
Yun Yuhong breathed a sigh of relief and said: "That's good, I have asked people to separate the good and bad rice, there will be no shortage of food in a short time, but I have to make more preparations, the day after tomorrow is the New Year, and after the New Year, I will send someone to the nearby city to collect some." β
Wang Wenfang said: "Master, this matter really needs to be investigated, once such a thing happens in wartime, it will shake the morale of the army." β
Yun Yuhong nodded, "Don't worry, I will naturally send someone to investigate, but you, pay more attention to the reaction of the soldiers, just say that it is not stored properly and moldy, if there is any trouble, take it down and send it to me on the spot." β
Everyone knew what they meant when they heard this, there was a problem here, but the ghost king didn't want to make a big deal and wanted to suppress it first, and it was not ruled out that the enemy in the camp would take advantage of this matter to make trouble, so let them pay attention. Everyone understands this approach, and now that the two armies are facing each other, the military spirit is the most important, so this matter really can't be a big deal.
Everyone dispersed, and Yun Yuhong and Bai Ziyu left the clever ghost couple to talk to Baizhu.
Bai Ziyu said to Wang Lekai: "Tell me everything from the beginning, from you to the Ministry of War to get a token to the household department to transfer food, don't leave any details behind, tell me all about it." β
Wang Lekai said: "I got the token soon after I arrived at the Ministry of War, and then went to the Ministry of Households, Lord Liu of the Ministry of Household Affairs will not embarrass me, and directly let people take me to the granary, before moving to the carriage, I also arranged for someone to inspect it, and found no problem, and then I put on the car and took people out of Beijing to transport it, all the way we lived in the post house, or set up a tent in the mountains, it was very smooth, and I did not meet any suspicious people, the grain truck has always been guarded by officers and soldiers, and the two deputy generals are out of the valley, which can be trusted, so, I really can't figure out what the problem is. β
Yun Yuhong asked: "Before you go to the military department, do you know when to load the car and when to leave?" β
Wang Lekai said: "This is natural, I went to the military department about ten days in advance to inform the departure time, so that they can coordinate with the household department and get ready." Does the ghost king mean that there was a problem with the grain before it was loaded? β
Bai Ziyu said: "There is no problem with the transportation process, the most likely thing is that there is a problem at the beginning, and a lot of grain is good and bad, which must also be prepared in advance, and it is not ready in a day or two." β
Yun Yuhong asked Baizhu, "Have you ever seen these rice?" It's said to be moldy, but it's not enough to eat so many people, isn't it poisoning? β
Baizhu thought for a while and said: "I really haven't found any other poisons, but I've seen these rice, they have been moldy for a long time, but they have been roasted and dried, the color is yellow and green, and it is not easy to find when mixed with good rice, which is very harmful to the human body, and this kind of rice also has a characteristic, that is, it will soon infect other rice, if it is in a closed place, about a month, the rice around it will also be moldy." β
Wang Lekai exclaimed: "No wonder, the bags that don't contain moldy rice are somewhat damaged, it turns out that this is the reason, and I think I don't protect it properly." β
Yun Yuhong and Bai Ziyu glanced at each other, is this the hands and feet of the people in the household department, impossible, Liu Dagongzi is not a person who has no ability, and some of his subordinates are baking rice and changing rice, he can't not be unaware at all. But the grain and grass are all from the household!
Bai Ziyu asked: "The grain and grass in the two battlefields of Chiyan and Zeyu were all transported by you, but a few days ago, poisonous weeds were found in the forage, and your forage was also transported out of the household?" β
Wang Lekai was shocked again, "Forage is also poisonous?" After thinking for a while, he continued: "The forage did not come out of the household, but was transported from the Qizhou warehouse not far away. The storeroom of the household department is small, and there are not many things to put in it, so this less important forage is placed in a few warehouses around it. β
Bai Ziyu secretly said in his heart that it was not good, but he still asked: "Then do you know that these grains have been kept in the Jingzhong warehouse, or were they transferred later?" β
Wang Lekai thought for a while and replied: "It seems that it was also transferred from Qizhou Cang, and when I took grain, I saw the seal of Qizhou." β
Qizhou, the current capital of Qizhou, Li Changwang, the proud protΓ©gΓ© of Zhou University, the husband of his aunt Bai Jiayan, the uncle of him and Ziren, who is playing ghosts seems to be about to come out, but it is really unthinkable, they are so bold, they can know the consequences of doing so, because of their reasons, the soldiers of the Ghost King Army were poisoned and were unable to respond to the battle with the Zeyu army, and there were countless casualties. Before a dignified martial marquis died in battle, the city was lost, and how many heroic souls were buried outside Kecheng, this pile, one by one, is heinous, Ten thousand deaths are not enough to atone for sins.
Yun Yuhong was also angry in her heart, but she still asked calmly: "The few times you transported grain, they all came out of a warehouse in Beijing. β
Wang Lekai said: "Yes, they are all Jingcang, and they are the same granary. β
Yun Yuhong looked at the clever ghost and said, "Do you know what to do?" The man of God, who can tell at once that all the grain comes from a warehouse, will give it to you. β
The clever ghost nodded and said, "Master, don't worry, I will follow him." β
Yun Yuhong turned his head to Baizhu and said, "Is there a way for people to eat these rice without problems?" β
Bai Shu smiled angrily and said: "Ghost King, I said, this is not poison, it is not enough to eat the antidote pill, and eating bad things will spoil your stomach, I am a doctor and not an immortal." β
Yun Yuhong touched her nose and said, "I'm just asking, I'm worried that someone will eat the bad rice." β
Baizhu could only say: "I want to find a way to see if I can separate the good and bad rice as much as possible." Although he said that he could go to other places to raise grain, he was afraid that at the beginning of spring, the people would not be able to collect much grain in their hands, and hundreds of thousands of troops would still have to fight, but it would never work if they had no food.
Sending a few people out, Bai Ziyu slapped the table and said, "Damn, I can't bear this matter, I must go back and find out." If you have any resentment against me, you can rush to us, how can you behave like this, is this to let the Bai family die together? β
Yun Yuhong raised her eyebrows and said, "Do you know who it is?" β
Bai Ziyu said angrily: "There are those on the left and right, but after all, grandpa has been in the military all his life, he shouldn't do this, and others may not." β
Yun Yuhong took Bai Ziyu's hand and said, "You and I both know what's going on, but if you want to check it out, and what should Ziren do?" Check it down, the Bai family is not so simple as declining, but you have to bear the infamy of the ages, and you will not be comfortable in the court, and once this matter is announced, it will definitely be excited, the Bai family is the sin of destroying the nine clans, you are still a royal person, or you can be spared death, but what about Ziren? If his good future is ruined, he will also be affected. β
Bai Ziyu said angrily: "Then you can't just let them go, the paper can't hold the fire, Cao Hou is dead, the sons of the Cao family will definitely know all this when they come, we must give them an explanation." β
Yun Yuhong thought about it for a while, and felt that it was true, the body of Cao Houye had been found, and the sons of the Cao family would come in two days, and they would definitely know about these things. Moreover, she didn't want to hide such a thing, otherwise, how could she be worthy of the 300,000 dead soldiers.
It's just that she still has concerns in her heart, it is about the Bai family, Bai Ziyu and Bai Ziren have come out of this family no matter what they say, but the two of them have been on the battlefield, how innocent they are.
The two of them thought about their hearts quietly, and after a long time, Bai Ziyu said: "Hong'er, I still decided to go back to Beijing to check, first of all, I have no evidence, but the conjecture may not come true." Secondly, there are many new nobles and officials in the capital, and it is very lively to come, so I will also go back to cool them down and help my father share some court affairs. β
Yun Yuhong sighed and said: "It's okay for you to go back, first, there are people at home to take care of, and secondly, with you, they don't dare to be too rampant." You should first investigate this matter secretly, and if it is verified, you will discuss it with your father, and before it is made public, you must find a way to extract you and Ziren. β
Bai Ziyu smiled bitterly, "Hong'er, I feel that I have no face to stand in the court, if this is really the case, I will resign and leave the rivers and lakes, you..."
"Of course I'm with you, there will be no battle in the future, and I, the ghost king, will be useless, so naturally I'll be at ease with you." Yun Yuhong said with a smile.
Bai Ziyu pulled Yun Yuhong's hand, but he couldn't say a word. The two of them knew that some words were not clearly stated, and it was impossible for these two poisoning incidents to have nothing to do with Zeyu, otherwise, Mo Lingyu would not dare to fight so much, facing the enemy of 300,000 ghost king troops, and if he dared to fight, it showed that he knew that the combat strength of the ghost king army had been greatly reduced. And they haven't been able to stay out of the city for the past few days, and they are waiting for something to happen. The most obvious evidence is the blood understanding grass, which is unique to Zeyu, without Zeyu's help, how could the grass run into the Moyun forage, it is not one or two, and it is necessary to get this kind of quantity.
Bai Ziyu took Yun Yuhong into his arms, and looked quietly into the distance, he would solve this matter as soon as possible, at least he would not let such a thing happen again, and he would not let his Hong'er suffer a trace of such a risk. And Ziren, how can he keep him from being implicated, it seems that he still has to negotiate a deal.
