Chapter 30 Convictions
A cadre blushed, hurriedly buried his head in lifting the stinky shoes, and reached out to touch them inside.
But in the blink of an eye, there was a harvest, and two thin pieces of paper were found.
A group of onlookers saw that the stolen goods had been searched, and suddenly burst into a burst of cheers that resounded through the heavens.
The officials hurriedly held these two pieces of thin paper and carefully presented them to Sun Qi.
Sun Qi buried his head and looked, it was two hundred taels of silver tickets!
From the two silver tickets, a heavy foot odor emanated, which rushed straight to Sun Qi's nose, making him frown.
Sun Qi hurriedly pinched his nose and waved his hand: "Send this silver ticket to the silver treasury and compare it with Diao Gui's collection record, don't make a mistake!"
The two officials took the order and went to the treasury with the stinky silver tickets.
At this time, Diao Gui was thrown to the ground by Zhou Hao, like a defeated rooster, the whole person was paralyzed on the ground, and there was no trace of anger on his dead gray face.
It is no wonder that, according to the military law of the Northern Yan, ten taels of silver are greedy, fifty taels of rods, fifty taels of silver, and three thousand miles of exile!
This Diao Gui used to be covered by Zhang Ba, who was usually a petty thief, as long as it wasn't too much, no one would be serious with him. Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhang Ba left the pro-military camp, this Diao Gui planted a big heel, I'm afraid he won't even be able to keep his head!
After a while, the two officials held the silver tickets, ran back quickly, bowed down in front of Sun Qi and said, "Lord Sima, the comparison is over! These two silver tickets are exactly what Diao Gui just took out of the silver treasury!"
Now, Diao Gui's crime can be regarded as confirmed! No matter how hard he is backstage, he can't turn the sky upside down!
But Sun Qi didn't have the joy of finding out the truth at this time, after all, Diao Gui was Zhang Ba's brother-in-law, and if he did this, he would completely offend Zhang Ba to death!
Not only that, Sun Qi is Diao Gui's direct superior, if it comes to responsibility, he can't get out of it.
But even if this is the case, but this Zhou Hao in front of him is the personal guard of the general, and he can't afford to offend! Even if he Sun Qi has the heart to protect this Diao Gui, he doesn't have the courage!
If he really dares to shield this Diao Gui, he only needs Zhou Hao to poke lightly in front of the general, and then he will lose his head, but Diao Gui is not the only one!
Sun Qi frowned and thought for a moment, and ordered: "Send Diao Gui's guy and the stolen goods to the opposite punishment hall!
Then he said to Zhou Hao: "Zhou Qinwei, you go with me to see the general! After all, you are the person concerned, and only you know the process best!"
Zhou Hao nodded and said, "Okay!"
Zhou Hao followed Sun Qi and went to the middle courtyard where Xue Wanche was. Along the way, Sun Qi turned back several times, wanting to say something to Zhou Hao, but he didn't know how to speak.
After all, it was his subordinates who committed the crime, and Sun Qi had to bear the charge of appeasement and laxity no matter what. If the general is angry and rewards him with dozens of military sticks, then he can only bear it.
So Sun Qi turned around several times and wanted Zhou Hao to say a few kind words in front of the general. But Sun Qi, who is a scholar, couldn't pull this face for a while.
Zhou Hao saw Sun Qi's embarrassed expression when he wanted to speak several times, how could he not understand what he was thinking, so he smiled and said: "Lord Sima, thanks to you for making a clear decision this time and clearing my injustice, the kid has thanked me here! Lord Sima is not afraid of the powerful, and I will definitely explain it to the general one by one!"
When Sun Qi heard this, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and bowed his hand to Zhou Hao gratefully: "Zhou Qinwei, this haha, you and I are under the general's account, and we should work together!
Zhou Hao also hugged his fists and said, "Lord Sima is polite!"
When the two of them came to the general's residence, Zhou Hao, who was a personal guard, naturally didn't need to be polite, and just walked straight in. But Sun Qi was stopped by the soldiers standing guard at the door.
Zhou Hao said to Sun Qi: "Wait a minute, my lord, I'll go and talk to the general!"
Sun Qi, who was standing at the gate of the courtyard and was worried, hurriedly said: "Okay, good! Everything is annoying Brother Zhou Hao!"
Zhou Hao turned around and walked into the courtyard and went straight to the study.
Waiting outside the study, Zhou Hao said loudly: "General, Zhou Hao has something to report!"
"Oh, why did you come back so soon, let me in!"
Zhou Hao walked into the study, and saw that General Xue was still holding the ancient book, and he was fascinated.
"General, I'm going to the Meritorious Tower, and I have encountered a matter, and I need the general to make a decision himself!"
"Oh, what kind of bird?" Xue Wanche asked with interest as he put down the ancient book.
So, Zhou Hao told what had just happened in a 1510 combination.
"Smack!" Xue Wanche listened to Zhou Hao's speech, and in anger, his big hand slapped heavily on the desk. The thick Nanmu desk suddenly sank into a palm print.
"Lao Tzu hates corrupt officials the most in his life, and there are still people who dare to make ghosts under Lao Tzu's nose!" Xue Wanche roared angrily, his huge voice shaking the surrounding bookshelves.
"I actually put my hand into the barracks of Lao Tzu's family, who gave him the courage to give his mother?"
"Zhang Ba, who dared to carry Lao Tzu behind his back and engage in these petty thefts, Lao Tzu should have kicked him out a long time ago!"
"Also, what did Sun Qi do to eat? With such filthy subordinates, he didn't know how to clean up the portal, and let that guy bully Lao Tzu's personal guards?
Xue Wanche was furious, roared again and again, and his voice spread far away. Even Sun Qi, who was standing outside the hospital, could hear it clearly, and he was suddenly trembling with fright, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
Scar, who had been standing quietly on the side, hurriedly persuaded: "The general is angry, the general is angry! In this world, the crow is as black as a crow, and there will be people who are greedy for money." Although there are such greedy people in our Liaodong army, there are very few of them! Besides, this kind of thing cannot be completely banned, and seeing that a big war is imminent, we must not be angry and implicated too widely!"
Only the old brothers who have followed Xue Wanche for more than 20 years dare to say such things at this time and persuade one or two.
Xue Wanche is also worthy of the demeanor of a general, and was persuaded by Scar, and immediately calmed down, but he was still angry.
"Haozi, you are the person concerned, what do you think should be done with this matter?" Xue Wanche asked angrily.
Zhou Hao was stunned for a moment, thinking that it was General Xue's words, but he didn't expect that he still had room to express his opinions.
Zhou Hao hesitated slightly: "I have only been in the army for a few days, and I can't even memorize the military law, what can I say?" But I think Brother Scar is right, I am about to fight with the Fusang people, and I am afraid it is not good to be involved too widely." That Diao Gui is certainly hateful, but I think that Lord Sun Qi and other officials are all honest and self-disciplined people who can judge cases impartially, and the soldiers and generals have no complaints against them. Although General Zhang Ba and Diao Gui are relatives, I am afraid that they may not necessarily know Diao Gui's filthiness. It's better to only punish Diao Gui alone!"
"Hmph, you kid is also generous, you have been wronged outside, you don't look for Lao Tzu to be angry for you, you still want to speak for them!" Xue Wanche snorted coldly.
Zhou Hao smiled and said: "What is it if I am wronged, don't affect the general's plan to go on the expedition!"
"Hmph, I don't know if you kid is really stupid or fake! If you kid takes this opportunity to add a little fuel and vinegar and fan the flames, Lao Tzu may really take care of all the people involved! From now on, among the hundreds of thousands of Liaodong troops whose name you Zhou Hao, no one knows who doesn't know? On the boundary of this Liaodong County, don't let your kid walk sideways when the time comes? But your kid just wants to be a good person. ”
"The prestige is earned by relying on one's own fists, and the fame is earned by one's own desperate killing, and it is not possible to rely on the favor of the general!" Zhou Hao raised his eyebrows.
When Xue Wanche heard this, he stared at Zhou Hao's eyes with brilliance, and only after a moment did he say, "That's it!
