Shun Yu followed Shen Zetang and Xu Lan with the generals, left the governor's palace and was stationed in the barracks.

Everyone is busy.

The original Zhang He's 7,000 soldiers were infected with the epidemic, although they took the decoction to alleviate it, but the bottom showed a false loss, and they were weak and weak, and now they heard that the commander Zhang He, the deputy general Huang Huai and Wei Yuan were detained, and the general Xu who led 3,000 soldiers and horses took over, and the ordinary soldiers only needed to ensure that the salary was supplied, and it didn't matter who was the commander, but there were more than a dozen military generals with ranks.

It's just that after two or three days, he looked at Xu Lan's several measures to govern the army, and gradually felt that his Wen Taowu did not let Zhang He, and some practitioners gradually restrained their behavior, but some still had different intentions, and Ying Qiong was still rampant with his command.

Besides, on this day, Shun Yu registered and verified the roster of generals in the camp tent, and Xu Lan summoned Yuan Zhang and his subordinate generals to discuss matters around the table.

Everyone was silent, but Ying Qiong stepped forward, and did not give up his hand, but said in a rough voice: "The silver salary is scheduled to be paid yesterday every month, and there has been no trace of it so far, which is rare when General Zhang is the commander-in-chief, and I also ask General Xu to give a reason, so that his subordinates can give an explanation to the soldiers." ”

Xu Lan leaned on the official hat chair, and her face was calm: "The original General Zhang divided the 10,000 soldiers under the battalion into seven guards, except for the four and six guards, each with 2,500 soldiers, and the others are all 1,000 soldiers. ”

Ying Qiong said: "The five thousand soldiers of the four and six guards will be shared by me and Li Liang, my acquaintance. ”

"Five thousand soldiers!" Xu Lan repeated, and asked again: "Who is Li Tongzhi?" “

Knowing that Li Liang was hiding behind people, he was secretly surprised that Xu Lan had been familiar with the affairs of the military camp in the past few days, and he had a bad feeling, he knew that General Zhang was tired here, and when he heard his name mentioned, he complained bitterly in his heart, but he had to step forward and bow his knees.

Xu Lan looked at him with a smile and pursed the corners of his mouth: "You have the largest number of people in charge of the guard, and this silver salary can't be paid, what should I do?" “

"The subordinates are clumsy, where do you have any ideas, this matter has to be decided by General Xu." Ying Qiong couldn't get used to Li Liang's appearance of being a slave, and was afraid that he would say more, so she simply rushed to cut off the back road.

Xu Lan asked: "I also paid my silver salary late before March, what excuse was I looking for at that time?" ”

Ying Qiong only said that he had forgotten for a long time, and the other generals in the column were silent, and it was up to Xu Lan to solve it, if he could appease the soldiers of the whole battalion, he would have a fear in the future, and if he couldn't, he would have to mock and ridicule behind his back.

Shun Yu saw it clearly from the side, frowned and thought about it, put aside his pen and picked up the roster, walked to Xu Lan and handed it over, and said: "The soldiers of the whole battalion have been registered, and the original battalion has seven guards, a total of seven thousand soldiers, five thousand soldiers in the four or six guards, and more than ten soldiers in two thousand, and three thousand more soldiers in name only." “

She gestured to Ying Qiong, and her tone was not slow: "Ying Commander claimed to be the 5,000 soldiers of the 46 Guards, and you and Li Tongzhi worked together to share the burden, where did these 3,000 go, please tell Ying Commander frankly." “

Because of the system of pushing guards in the barracks, each of them is in charge of the thousands of soldiers in the guard, and he doesn't like to care about his affairs, at this time, he heard Shun Yu's question, this is a serious crime of eating empty salary, and they all looked at Ying Qiong in shock.

Ying Qiong was stunned, he was originally from Lanzhou, Gansu, his family was well-off, because of the implementation of the law of donating food to pay prisoners, he got the name of a prisoner, and then added a donation to serve as an official.

Throughout the ages, there have always been corrupt practices in officialdom, and there are even villains who have ugly faces, which have nothing to do with whether it is a prosperous Qingming era.

However, Ying Qiong was wronged this time, he had no ink in his chest and was not wise, he only knew Hu Tianhai all day long, and his name was hung in the four or six guards, but in fact, Li Liang was taken care of, then Li Liang was a treacherous and cunning man, when he helped Zhang He to eat empty salary, he had already thought of how to deal with it if he was at the end of the road, and he happened to meet Ying Qiong, the demon king of the world, so he had the idea of letting him take the pot.

Therefore, without waiting for Ying Qiong to speak, Li Liang had already kowtowed and preemptively cried out: "General Xu Mingjian, this is all Zhang He and Ying Qiong colluding with each other, falsely reporting that the soldiers eat empty salaries to accumulate wealth, and the subordinate officials have to obey the humble position, and now I am willing to present the relevant detailed account books to make up for the merits." “

That is, with trembling hands, he took out the booklet from his sleeve, Shun Yu stepped forward to take it, flipped through it casually, and bowed his head towards Xu Lan.

Xu Lan understood, then lowered his face, and shouted sharply: "The four or six guards go up to the commander of the affairs, down to the deputy promotion, and all those who have rank and rank will be taken by me." “

The voice fell, and dozens of soldiers stepped forward to set up the relevant people with expressionless faces, or dragged or dragged away quickly, and then Ying Qiong came back to his senses, and the voice was grunting in his throat, and the people had been abducted and pushed out of the tent.

Xu Lan majestically swept the surroundings and admonished: "I advise you to examine your body three times a day, hold noble products, and worship the festival of integrity. As for the silver salary that has been distributed, it will be distributed as soon as the roster of soldiers is cleared again. “

Everyone made a promise, and then they talked again, and then they dispersed with their own hearts.

Xu Lan picked up the teacup in front of the table and drank it all, her mouth was dry to tell the truth, and she inadvertently glanced at Shun Yu looking at him blankly, grinning at the corners of her lips and smiling: "Feng Jiu can remember that when you were in Guozijian, I took you to Jingyi Garden to swim in the water?" “

Shun Yu frowned, there was such a thing, why couldn't she remember it at all.

Xu Lanquan was shy when she continued: "On that day, you said that I was a handsome horse, an internal and external officer, and within a few years, I was the head of the military generals, commanding tens of thousands of troops, what a scenery it would be. I ask you what your fate will be? You're just a petty official. ”

"You remember it clearly." Shun Yu smiled, she often felt these words on weekdays, causing Shen Huan to call her goddess one day, and scratched her forehead very strangely: "How can I call you a goddess, shouldn't I call you a god stick?" “

Look, she remembered all these words, how could she forget to go swimming with Xu Lan ....... water.

Before she could return to her senses, her arm was held by Xu Lan, and she brought it into her arms, she didn't notice it for a while, her whole face hit the cold and hard armor, and she suddenly wanted to cry with a sour nose.

Xu Lan bit her black hair: "What I said that day is also today's oath, you don't want to be a petty official, just let me go, where I go, you go with me, I will protect you for a lifetime." “

He had never had such a gentle voice before, and he didn't believe it would come out of his mouth.

After not replying for a long time, he looked down at Shunyu's tearful eyes, and his heart became more and more happy.

A gust of wind blew the bamboo curtain in front of the hanging tent door lifted, revealing the feet of black and white soap boots and half of the corner of the crimson official uniform.

He couldn't help but hug Shun Yu tighter, and his voice was slightly higher: "Feng Jiu, are you willing?" ”

"May ...... Sincere..... Willing to ...... "Willing to be a ghost!" Shun Yu finally broke free, and glared at him with the tip of his nose.

Xu Lan smiled slightly, outside the bamboo curtain, there was no one.
