Chapter 28 The Case of Munitions

"Not tall? Beautiful? Sound good? Or a general? Is there such a person? ”

"Think about it again!"

"Isn't the only general who is not tall but the youngest General Ning? But Dad didn't say that he was not good-looking, and didn't you always call him ugly before, didn't you hate him? Li Muyang looked at his sister with a puzzled expression.

"Ning...... Ning Jun? Li Muqing's eyes widened in disbelief, and her small mouth opened slightly.

Ning Jun! The voice...... It's over, I seem to have scolded him for being ugly in public, right? Wow~ Li Muqing, why are you so stupid! Now it's good! What to do? I won't have the face to see him at all in the future!

"General Ning, what's wrong with him? Does he know that you often scold him behind his back, and then want to settle accounts with you? ”

"No, no, I didn't scold him, brother~ don't talk nonsense! That's it, I'll go first! Don't stop me scolding him, or I'll turn against you! After Li Muqing finished speaking, he turned around and left.

This little girl is really fickle, but what the hell is she going to do this time? Is it also involved with General Ning? Li Muyang shook his head helplessly and sighed.

"Chunhong, was I scolding General Ning on the street that day, was it seen by many people?" Back in her yard, Li Muqing spoke with some reluctance.

"That's right! At that time, General Ning still wanted to help you up, but you scolded him and had to turn around and leave, and intimately reminded everyone not to crowd, at that time, many people were angry at you, Miss! If I hadn't pulled you away......"

"Stop, Chunhong, don't say it again!" Li Muqing was lying on the table and interrupted her weakly.

"Miss, why are you asking me this all of a sudden? Besides, what Miss said is also true, didn't the master also say that General Ning is indeed not good-looking! ”

"Chunhong, you are not allowed to say that he is ugly in the future, and no one can say that he is ugly in the future! Tell me the story you heard about him! Li Muqing's eyes lit up and looked at Chunhong.

"Huh?" Chunhong's eyes widened in surprise.

"Ahhh Hurry up! ”

"Oh! When General Ning was born, it is said that the sky is different, and everyone thinks that he is a Wenqu star, he is half a year old, he can write poetry at the age of two, and he has already paraded a hundred ...... at the age of five."

Finally it was the day to go to court again, Xu Mengmeng got up early, changed into the clothes he had carefully prepared, and rode in a sedan chair as usual, towards the palace.

As soon as Xu Mengmeng walked into the inner hall, he successfully attracted the attention of the ministers, and some familiar ministers couldn't help but ask.

"General Ning, why are you dressed so badly today?"

"Hey, there's no way, it's despicable and poor!" Xu Mengmeng sighed, and raised his sleeve to wipe the corners of his eyes.

Hearing his words, the corners of the ministers' mouths couldn't help twitching, how poor do you have to be? Too poor to wear court clothes? Didn't the emperor reward you with 10,000 taels of gold before?

"The emperor has arrived!" Without waiting for everyone to ask more, the shrill voice of the attendant on the side sounded, and everyone quickly stood up and knelt down to salute.

As soon as Sima Jian flattened the ministers, he saw that the eyes of many ministers were heading towards the shortest figure from time to time, and he also looked over in curiosity, and he was immediately stunned for a moment.

How could this kid be dressed in such tatters?

"Ahem~ Ning Aiqing! What are you? Sima Wei pointed to the clothes on Xu Mengmeng's body, and didn't know how to describe them for a while.

"Back to the emperor, Weichen also knew that such clothes were really embarrassing to see people, but there was no way! Wechen's family is poor! This is the best I can find! Xu Mengmeng hurriedly stood up and cried with emotion.

Poor? This kid is crying to me for poverty? The corners of Sima Wei's mouth twitched slightly, and he opened his mouth with a puzzled face.

"Didn't the military department just send out the quartermaster the day before yesterday? Besides, didn't I reward you with 10,000 taels of gold before? ”

"Yes, Wechen didn't know that His Majesty's treasury was empty, and he could only afford to buy old cotton rags to fill the winter clothes for the soldiers, and the 50,000 soldiers were all Wechen's brothers and siblings, Wechen would rather suffer himself than suffer them, so Wechen had to take the gold, silver and jewelry rewarded by the emperor for new cotton, and make military uniforms for them, I don't know if I can get it together, Wechen also plans to go down to the court for a while, and then the ministers will borrow some silver!" Xu Mengmeng felt that his acting skills at this time were simply explosive.

"What? What did you say? Old cotton rags? I have clearly made an order to spend 30% of this year's tax revenue on the military supplies of the soldiers, how can I only use old cotton rags? Wang Gang "Sima Wei stood up from the dragon chair in shock, and after being surprised, he was full of anger.

"The emperor is angry, the ministers don't know about this matter, and I hope the saint will see it!" Seeing that the emperor was angry, the ministers immediately looked at Wang Gang, the secretary of the military department, and he immediately knelt on the ground and opened his mouth to defend himself.

"You are the secretary of the military department, how can you not know?" Xu Mengmeng secretly cursed the old fox in his heart, but his face was surprised and angry.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is indeed the secretary of the Ministry of War, and the military supplies are indeed responsible for the Ministry of War, but Zhou Shilang has always been rigorous, and the matter of raising military supplies Weichen was handed over to him to be fully responsible, and Weichen went to investigate during the period and did not find any problems, so Weichen really didn't know about this matter! I hope the emperor will see clearly! ”

"I didn't find a problem! Then you mean that I, Ning Jun, deliberately slandered and framed you! Those supplies are now in my camp on the outskirts of Beijing, Wang Shangshu dares to go with me to have a look! Xu Mengmeng was instantly angry when he heard Wang Gang's excuse.

"Zhou Yu, Wang Shangshu said that he was fully responsible for this matter, can you explain it to me?" Sima Jian had calmed down a lot at this time, grabbed another person in Wang Gang's mouth and asked.

It seems that this Sima Jie still trusts Wang Gang's old fox, and the probability that this Wang Gang seems to be his person is quite high, so this matter may not be able to move him! Xu Mengmeng carefully analyzed in his heart.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has been wronged! This matter is indeed the responsibility of Weichen, but the military funds allocated by the household department are really insufficient, so the military department can only focus on the soldiers on the border pass first, and when they wait for the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, the ministers and others are also powerless! Zhou Yu, who was kneeling on the ground, defended helplessly.

"Are you sure there is a problem with these that were only distributed to our camp on the outskirts of Beijing? Lord Zhou, now that the northern border has entered the bitter cold, and it is almost the day when the Northern Guard barbarian army will attack, if there is any problem with the military supplies you give them, then I don't need to talk about the result! Xu Mengmeng couldn't believe these cunning ministers.

Sure enough, when her words fell, she saw Zhou Yu's eyes flash, this guy must know, and those military quartermasters also have problems, they must have detained the folds over there, but I don't know who this person is!

"Military supplies are related to the safety of our borders, so Weichen implores the emperor to order a thorough investigation of this matter!" Although Xu Mengmeng knew that there was something wrong with Zhou Yu this time, she didn't know how to deal with him, and she was tired of their posture of shirking responsibility one by one at this time.

If you don't know enough, why don't you bring it up? If you know there is a problem, why do you send it? Is this taking yourself for a fool or does you think you are a bully?

"What Ning Aiqing said is very true, I am asking you and the Criminal Department to investigate this matter together, you must give me a clear investigation, so that I can give an explanation to my soldiers!" Sima Wei also knew that this matter was very important, so he also wanted to find out more clearly.

"Obey the order!"
