Chapter Seventy-Three

The previous year was extremely difficult, and this year's early spring only came to the head, and the vigorous inverted spring cold suddenly came back. The babies are only more than three months old, and Banxia didn't dare to carry them to the door, so they stayed in the bedroom, and Gan Sui and Anzi had to warm their hands before starting to hug them. Children are weak and can catch a cold and get sick if they are not careful. Banxia took longer than usual to take care of the child, and the body raised during the confinement began to lose weight rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Gan Sui runs on both sides of the front office and the backyard every day, and he has to go back to the backyard to have a look when he has a little time.

Recently, he has also been busy, and he was caught off guard by the cold spring, but the township is fine, in the early stage, in order to prevent snowstorms, the buildings in the township have been reinforced, and the key is the military camp. Camping in the field was already colder than in the house, but now that the weather was extremely cold, Gan Sui discussed with Vice General Yu to change the training time and training subjects to minimize the possibility of the soldiers being injured due to the cold weather. The military department also issued a new jacket a year ago, and it looks thick, and he is relieved to arrange everything, so tightly arranged, I think there will be no accident because of the cold.

Gan Sui's breath was relieved too early, and before dawn the next day, a quick but gentle knock sounded at the door.

Gan Sui woke up suddenly, saw that Banxia was still sleeping, and got up lightly. I saw that there was a heavy snow outside.

"What's the matter, so urgent?" Gan Sui asked as he walked.

"Vice Yu is coming, saying that something has happened and he is in a hurry to find you."

Vice General Yu has a calm temperament, and he will never show a hurried appearance under normal circumstances, which is also the fundamental reason why Lin Tianyu left him to assist Gan Sui. Now that he says it's serious, it's certainly not a trivial matter. Gan Sui walked into the lobby in three steps and two steps.

Vice General Yu was anxiously pacing back and forth in the lobby when he saw Gan Suilai hurriedly walked over.

"Lord Gan, it's not good......"

"Don't worry, sit down and talk slowly."

Gan Sui handed him the tea, but Deputy General Yu didn't care about drinking tea, and said directly: "My lord, it snowed heavily in the middle of the night last night, and more than ten people standing guard in our camp froze to death!" ”

"How is that possible? The cotton clothes are all newly haired, and the thickness is enough, how can this happen? Didn't you let them wear this thick cotton garment? ”

Speaking of this, Deputy General Yu gritted his teeth and said: "Cotton clothes, it's the new cotton clothes, it costs people's lives." ”

Gan Sui didn't understand, Vice General Yu took out a huge bag from behind him, which contained the new cotton clothes. Deputy Commander Yu came and cut him open directly, the surface of the cotton clothes was a thin layer of cotton, and the inside was actually kneaded with fine weeds, if it wasn't cut, you couldn't see the difference at all.

"The soldiers couldn't bear the wind at all in this cotton coat, so they froze to death...... More than a dozen lives. How can I explain it to their family? Vice Admiral Yu's eyes turned red as he spoke.

As a soldier, even if it is bloody on the battlefield and the horse leather shroud is returned, it is much better than freezing to death because of a cotton coat like this.

"Let's go to the camp first." Gan Sui and Vice General Yu went to the barracks together, and the camp was full of sorrow. Not long ago, they used their own flesh and blood to defend this city, and now they have received such a reward, which is not unpleasant.

Gan Sui gathered everyone on the open space: "Soldiers, I know everyone's mood at the moment, I am the same as everyone. I am willing to assure you that I will comfort the souls of the dead with the heads of those who supply the military quartermasters. ”

There was a thorn-headed soldier at the bottom who spoke, "Don't talk big to us here, who doesn't know that the gang of people in the military department are the henchmen of Marquis Wen, Marquis Wen covers the sky with one hand, how can we talk, my lord just speaks here to comfort our hearts, and in the end it's not over." We, in front of dignitaries, are not even ants. ”

Gan Sui was not angry at his rudeness, but said, "Everyone just watch, it depends on whether I Gan Sui is talking big or can really do it." We'll see that after a month. The most important thing for everyone now is to take care of themselves, don't be anxious because of a momentary mood, but weigh those villains. "Gan Sui inspected everywhere in the camp and contacted the supplier to urgently dispatch a batch of cotton clothes over for emergency. As soon as I got busy, I forgot the hour, and before I knew it, I stayed in the barracks until the evening.

"I haven't been in the yamen all day, where have you been?" Banxia asked while giving him vegetables. Since the birth of the child, Gansui has become more and more homely, and where to go, you have to tell you first.

"There was an urgent matter in the barracks, and I forgot to greet you. Is the child well-behaved? It's cold these days, don't let them see the wind. ”

"Be careful, Aunt Yang is very good, I think you can stay at home."

"You can just think it's good, it's still too tiring for you to take care of two children alone." Gan Sui thought about the things in the barracks, and felt really unbearable. Banxia saw that his eyebrows were furrowed together and asked him, "What's wrong?" ”

"There are too many things in the barracks, I'm going to write an excerpt, you can eat first."

Gan Sui hurriedly walked out. Banxia looked inexplicable, and was worried that he would be hungry in the middle of the night, so he asked his sister-in-law to prepare a supper.

Gan Sui stayed in the study until the second half of the night before coming back, the house was burning with a hot earth dragon, very warm, but Gan Sui felt cold to the bone, lying on the bed and hugging Banxia, and then fell asleep deeply.

Ten days later, Tai Chi Hall. The new Imperial Historian began to play.

"Wang Zhongliang, the imperial history of the minister's left capital, played the impeachment of Shangshu Fanglin of the Ministry of War, embezzled military funds, and disregarded human lives."

Fang Lin only accepted the sixteen-year-old concubine the day before, and she has a lot of tricks in her delicate temperament, last night a pear blossom pressed the begonia, and she was almost not late this morning, she was standing and dozing off, she was pulled coldly, and she wanted to lose her temper, but she found that Marquis Wen was signaling to him.

"Fang Lin, what do you explain to what Wang Qing said?"

Fang Lin didn't hear the words in front of him at all, and he panicked, but he also knew that it was not a good thing, so he just knelt down straight and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged." ”

"Wronged? So tell me how you were wronged? ”

Fang Lin didn't know how to look around.

Marquis Wen suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, Fang Shangshu has always been honest and self-disciplined, and he must have worked hard, presumably there is no understanding of any misunderstanding during this time, it is already spring, but the Liangzhou military camp has reported that so many people have died, isn't it...... The minister heard that the current leader in charge of the military camp is the champion from a few years ago, and he is young, so it is inevitable that there will be times when he does something wrong. Someone accidentally killed someone in this barracks......"

"Master Hou means that I have wronged Lord Fang......"

"Lord Wang, thousands of miles away from Liangzhou, is confused, and I don't know."

"The minister is also afraid that he has wronged Fang Shangshu, so he specially detained the people who supplied military supplies, and has now asked for a confession, Your Majesty, please see?" Xiao Huangmen quickly sent the confession up. Qi Nanxing glanced at ten lines, and it only took two breaths to sweep through the two pages. In just a moment, Fang Lin was already trembling with his legs, sweating like rain. Marquis Wen felt that most of his appearance couldn't even support the interrogation later, so he no longer pleaded for him at the moment, but just looked at the dragon jade bi in the hall intently, extremely serious.

"Yes, yes! My warriors fought desperately on the battlefield to kill the enemy, but the enemy failed to enter the hinterland of Liang. What about my book, I am single-mindedly making money. How to make money, the mind is actually moved to military funds...... More than a dozen soldiers, the sword mountain and the sea of fire have come out, just because of your own selfish interests, a thousand knives are not enough to cut you! ”

"Your Majesty's ministers really don't know, the ministers and soldiers have a lot of things, and they can't do everything personally, this matter is that the people below are not careful, plus this military supplier has a black conscience, and the minister admits that he has the crime of negligence, but it is definitely not to say that he wants to harm people, and the minister will never dare."

"I believe that Fang Shangshu definitely didn't want the lives of these people, otherwise this batch of military funds would not have been sent to Liangzhou so late. Lord Fang thought that it was spring now, and nothing would happen if he changed into these cotton clothes? ”

"I ...... I'm not ......" Fang Lin really thought, he hadn't done such a thing, the materials in early spring and the materials before the year were not the same supplier at all, and he could make a lot of money in the middle, except for two years ago, a stinky boy who didn't know whether he was alive or dead found out and wanted to file a complaint, and the rest of the time was calm. It's easy to earn. In the first two years, he didn't dare to hit a place like Liangzhou, because it was already cold here, and he was afraid that something would happen, but this year it was said that it was a sunny day after the Liangzhou New Year, so he dared to transport it directly, who knew that the spring cold was so serious.

"It's not once or twice that Lord Fang has done such a thing, it's just that nothing has happened...... Wang Zhongliang looked at Fang Lin with contempt.

"This is a spy report sent by the prefect of Lanzhou, Lanzhou dug up a corpse, and the investigation was actually found out that Lord Fang had embezzled military funds and used weeds as a cotton jacket and was killed. All the documents are complete, please read them to Your Majesty. ”

After Qi Nanxing finished reading it, a book flew directly to Fang Lin's forehead, and blood immediately appeared on his forehead. Fang Lin didn't care about wiping it, blood dripped down his cheeks, and Fang Lin was still slamming heavily on the clear dolomite bricks: "Your Majesty spares your life, the minister is just confused for a while...... Momentarily confused. ”

"Fang Lin, the secretary of the Ministry of War, embezzled military funds, causing the soldiers of our Liang State to die and be beheaded after the autumn. All adult men of the Fang family were beheaded, those under the age of thirteen were exiled to Mobei, women were all demoted to official slaves, and close relatives were not allowed to be hired within five generations. ”

"Your Majesty, you can cut the ministers with a thousand knives, please spare the ministers. Your Majesty is gracious ......"

"Drag it off."

Fifteen days later, Liangzhou.

Vice General Yu sent His Majesty's official document and the decree of pacification to the barracks, and summoned the battalions to study.

Later, I found Gan Sui again, "The master is really powerful, how to say that he asked for our life in the imperial history." ”

"He is one of my senior brothers, and he is an upright person, and he will never sit idly by and watch such things."

"But hard work is for sure, such ironclad evidence is like a mountain, and it will bring Fang Lin down all of a sudden."

"I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet. If you do too much of this kind of thing, you will definitely show your feet. ”

"It's just a pity that the first person who found it at the beginning, I heard that his surname is also Lin, what is his name Lin You...... It is said that his father is still a magistrate in Yunzhou, it's really pitiful, the white-haired person sends the black-haired person ......"

"What did you say was the name of the man who died earlier?"

"Lin You...... Adults know him? ”

"He's me...... Very good friend. ”
