Chapter 12: The Border Corruption Case

Lin Zheyuan glanced at Zhou Ruian with some embarrassment: "Childe, what can I do now?" ”

Since these people were exposed, Zhou Rui'an's expression has been secretive, and he didn't show the slightest emotion at this time, he just glanced at Jiang Qingyue lightly.

"I didn't arrest the person, and I didn't break the identity, ask me what to do?" Zhou Ruian asked rhetorically.

Lin Zheyuan choked and looked at Jiang Qingyue.

Zhou Rui'an also looked at her, although he had long known that Jiang Qingyue was brilliant and meticulously observed, but when he saw this person as he expected, he would still feel happy, this feeling, even Zhou Rui'an himself didn't understand.

Jiang Qingyue frowned slightly, as if he was confused about something: "According to military law, how should deserters be handled?" ”

Lin Zheyuan and Zhou Ruian were stunned, no one expected her to say this.

Zhou Rui'an ignored the fear on the faces of those people, but smiled slightly, and the pear vortex at the corner of his mouth loomed: "According to the law, it should be beheaded!" ”

Such murderous words came out of his mouth, but they were still gentle and elegant, and his face did not change.

"Then let's do it." Jiang Qingyue said lightly: "Since there is a law to be found, we will take care of our affairs today, we can't go into battle to kill the enemy, and we can do our best for the country." ”

After Jiang Qingyue finished speaking, he took the dagger in Zhou Rui'an's hand: "This dagger is in good condition, it seems that it is also from the army, they have now defiled this dagger, and I will use it to finish them off!" ”

Lin Zheyuan hesitated, he was a little strange, Jiang Qingyue had a cold temperament and never liked to meddle in things, why did a few deserters get in her way this time? And she's not such a murderous person in the first place.

"Nope! Don't kill me! The thin man exclaimed, "We, we are all forced, and we don't want to be deserters...... We are all forced! ”

"Forced?" Jiang Qingyue sneered: "Could it be that someone put a knife on your neck and made you a deserter?" ”

As soon as the thin man was about to speak, the leader glared at him fiercely: "Shut up! After a pause, he continued: "Since we have done it, we are not afraid of others talking!" Pity my good boy, he didn't die on the battlefield, but he was going to be buried in this ruined temple! ”

The look of regret in his eyes was not a disguise, Jiang Qingyue raised his eyebrows and looked at the thin man: "You're not afraid of death?" After a pause, she said to herself: "If you are not afraid of death, why should you become a deserter?" ”

The thin man's tears fell: "I, we did become deserters, but we were all forced," paused, and a trace of resentment flashed in his tearful eyes: "I was forced by Huang Laogou!" ”

Jiang Qingyue raised his eyebrows, this was the second time this thin man had mentioned this name.

"Who is Old Yellow Dog?" Jiang Qingyue was suspicious.

"Liuzhou Thorn Shi Huang Qingye." Lin Zheyuan said slowly.

"That's right! That's him! This dog officer! Not to mention the deduction of our military salaries, even the grain and grass are shoddy," the thin man said and wiped his tears: "You were wrong just now, in fact, this dagger was not issued to us by the army, and the weapons issued by the army were curled up with two blades, and they can't be used at all!" Counting nine cold days, there is only a layer of straw in the military uniform. ”

The thin man probably said something sad, and cried as he spoke: "He doesn't treat us as human beings at all, and he wants us to kill the enemy, and if he loses the battle, he will push it on General Su, poor General Su was framed by him and seriously injured, if we don't run again, sooner or later we will be killed by him!" ”

Lin Zheyuan watched him cry sincerely, and he already believed it in his heart.

"In this way, this Yellow Thorn History is really hateful." Lin Zheyuan frowned and said: "Liuzhou is my border fortress in Dajing, such an important place, he dares to mess around, and he is not afraid of being broken by the Tartars and taking him for blame?" ”

"There are no good things in office! They protect each other, and who cares about the lives of the soldiers? The leader said with a sneer.

"A few strong men, I see that you are also chivalrous people, not lackeys of the court, our brothers also wanted to serve the country, and now they are helpless to be deserters, I implore a few of you to let our brothers live, and our brothers will keep it in mind!" The second child who followed the leader to assassinate Jiang Qingyue spoke at this time, with a sincere face.

Lin Zheyuan has already developed compassion, he is very sympathetic to the plight of several people, and he really doesn't want to kill them, but this matter depends on Zhou Rui'an's meaning.

Jiang Qingyue looked at Zhou Rui'an, "Childe, can the clues they said be useful to Childe?" If Childe still has doubts in his heart, they are good candidates. ”

Lin Zheyuan was stunned for a moment, could it be that Zhou Ruian intended to know this? By the way, the person who chased and killed Zhou Rui'an is likely to be the official family, and his destination is Liuzhou, could it be that he came to Liuzhou this time for these deserters?

Zhou Ruian raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Qingyue, and hooked the corners of his lips: "I thought you had a cold temperament, but I didn't expect that it was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, since you want to save them, then leave them alive." ”

Jiang Qingyue knew that Zhou Rui'an was probably here for the sake of that Lord Huang, so he simply broke his identity, so Zhou Rui'an couldn't kill him at will.

The leader immediately said: "Thank you for this little brother's life-saving grace, I, Tian Liu, am not the one who will take revenge, if this son can use our place, just open your mouth!" We'll tell you the truth! ”

Zhou Ruian really had something to ask them, so he called a few people aside.

When Lin Zheyuan saw this situation, he wanted to pull Jiang Qingyue to avoid it, in his opinion, the less they knew about Zhou Rui'an's affairs, the less they knew about it, the better, they were people in the rivers and lakes, and it was not a good thing to be involved with the imperial court, but Jiang Qingyue did not move, but listened to them carefully, he hesitated, and still did not call her out.

"In October, the imperial court has already issued a batch of military funds, haven't you received it?"

"There are no military funds, and some of them have been deducted, and now there are only two meals a day in the army, and they drink porridge at a time, and the rice grains in it can be counted......"

Hearing this, Zhou Rui'an's face changed, and his eyes became sharp and cold.

"The situation of the heroic army is a little better, with General Su Lao in charge, Huang Laogou still doesn't dare to mess around, but Huang Laogou thinks that General Su is an eyesore, when General Su is leading the army, Huang Laogou did not reinforce in time, General Su is seriously injured, and now it is General Su Xiao who leads the heroic army, the little general is young, he can't suppress Huang Laogou, and now the life of the heroic army is not easy." The leader replied.

There is no one in the whole Dajing who does not know the heroic army, just listening to the name also knows the difference of this army, this army was established by the first emperor, inherited to the present, and has made great contributions to Dajing, and Su Liangyi, the old general of Su, is even more famous.

Now that even the heroic army has been touched by Huang Qingye, it can be seen how grim the situation in the army is.

"Are you telling the truth? No exaggeration? Zhou Rui'an asked again.

"What the villain says is true! The whole army knows it! If you don't believe it, you go to the border and ask, everyone knows about Huang Qingye! Tian Liu said decisively.

Zhou Rui'an's eyes were cold, and his whole body exuded a cold aura, which made people dare not approach.

Tian Liu hesitated for a moment, and then whispered: "This lord, I think you have an extraordinary bearing, and I don't think you are an ordinary person, but I advise you, you should not worry about this matter, so as not to fold yourself inside." After a pause, he smiled bitterly and said, "If you can't really live, who wants to be a deserter?" ”

Zhou Ruian did not speak.

It was already late at night, and after such a round of tossing, everyone was tired and fell asleep again.

Jiang Qingyue opened his eyes and saw Zhou Rui'an sitting in front of the fire, expressionless.
