Chapter 77: Ink Greed
Qin Lang just looked at me and smiled without saying a word, I was so blushing from him for no reason.
When I lowered my head, I found that I was covered in clean coarse cloth clothes, and my wounds were medicated and bandaged, and the question was...... "What clothes did you change for me?" ”
Qin Lang's pale face turned red with a trace of blood, and he lowered his head and said embarrassedly, "It's really not me, it's an old-timer." ”
I let out a faint "oh", thinking to myself, girl, I was taken advantage of after all, and it was better to be an old Taoist priest than ......
was thinking wildly, but heard Qin Lang say: "You are fine, I am leaving." ”
"Oh...... Well? My first reaction was that he was going back to the next room, but the second reaction was that something wasn't quite right, "Where are you going?" ”
"East Palace." He stood up, "A fire in the 3,000 battalions has burned the second prince's guilt cleanly, and the situation is very unfavorable to His Royal Highness the Prince, I have to rush back to report the evidence I have to His Royal Highness the Prince, so that he can deal with it as soon as possible." ”
I still have lingering palpitations when I think back to the monstrous fire of the Feixiong Army, I don't know how many innocent lives were lost in the fire, but I remember what Yuan Bao said to me when I was in prison:
"In the past few years, His Royal Highness has covered the sky with one hand in the three thousand battalions, and the killing decision is mastered by one person. The slightest disobedience is a scourge of death, and there is a lot of suspicion. From top to bottom, the three thousand battalions died openly and secretly at the hands of His Second Highness, and countless people died. ”
Typical tyrants.
"I never understood." I frowned and muttered, "Second Highness concealed the death of nearly 10,000 soldiers and created so many 'ghost soldiers', why did you come here?" ”
"I couldn't figure it out." Qin Lang replied, "When I went to Yangzhou Mansion to supervise the change of guard, I knocked on the side from the officers under him, and finally got a glimpse of the clues. ”
"Oh?" I'm very interested.
"According to the Ming military system, the monthly salary of ordinary soldiers in the 3,000 battalions is two taels of silver, one stone of grain, and one horse of cloth. In this way, the monthly salary of 10,000 soldiers is 20,000 taels of silver, not to mention the high salary of those with high military ranks. ”
As soon as Qin Lang said this, I suddenly realized, not only did I shout in a lost voice: "Greedy for military salaries!" Why didn't I think of that?! ”
In my previous life, I saw such a report, saying that the son concealed the truth of the death of the old mother for many years in order to receive the old mother's pension, until the local officials thought that there was a long-lived old man who was more than 100 years old in the local area, and went to the house to express condolences, only to know that the old man had been dead for more than 20 years.
Unexpectedly, as early as the Ming Dynasty hundreds of years ago, Comrade Zhu Gaoxu had already comprehended the essence of "fraudulent insurance", which can really be described as a concept ahead of its time.
It's just that with this blood and human life, is he really not afraid of ghosts calling the door?
"Bastard!" For such a scumbag, I don't even bother to scold.
"So, I have to hurry back to report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Qin Lang glanced at me deeply, "You are not lightly injured, you worked hard last night, and if you stay here for a few days, I will send someone to pick you up." ”
"No way!" I flatly refused, struggling to get up and get out of bed, "Let's go together!" ”
After all, Qin Lang and I looked at each other for a moment, probably thinking of my very generous and tragic sentence "We want to go together, we have to die together".
Is this considered to have lived and died together......
The two of us were embarrassed, but we heard the sneer of the old Taoist priest at the door: "Go? Dao Ye made a bet with you, if you can't walk through the Jinling City Gate, you will be poisoned and killed, and the gods can't save it, believe it or not? ”
