Affected by the survival of the last days, Lin Wan'er deeply knew the importance of materials for front-line operations, she opened a few other boxes, fortunately they were filled with edible food, otherwise if this batch of materials was sent to the battlefield, I was afraid that it would speed up the demise of our army.

These people who have been living in the capital do not know the cruelty of war at all, they take it for granted that they enjoy the peace brought by other people's desperate death, not only do not know gratitude, but have been adding to the chaos, and even want to take revenge, ignorance is evil.

For the time being, it is not clear whether the emperor's intention is that the materials have become like this or whether his officials have embezzled, Lin Wan'er suppressed the anger in her heart, quietly replaced the cotton in the box with new grain in her own space, recalled the officials who escorted her, and decided to go back and check carefully, she was just an ordinary person, and she could get very little information, so it seemed that she could only ask for help from others.

After returning home, Lin Wan'er first used her own strength to inquire about the news about the escort officials this time, and learned that the main escort would be Xu Ge, a young general in the court, but because he had no experience, he sent an additional civil official Song Mingyu, who was already almost fifty years old, and he had to travel long distances to the battlefield instead of enjoying happiness in the capital, which would not only delay the journey, but also make people doubt his intentions.

As for the young general, although he is full of enthusiasm and carries the name of the main general, he is also subject to others, and this escort will probably not be very smooth.

Lin Wan'er calculated the time that her granary could support at home, if there had been corruption, then the Central Plains would really be in an environment of internal and external troubles, she frowned and came to Princess Muyang, or in the courtyard last time, Princess Muyang looked at her grim face, realized that something terrible probably happened, and directly led people to the house, and asked everyone who was waiting: "Wan'er, what happened?" ”

Lin Wan'er exhaled a long breath, gritted her teeth and said, "Princess, I came here today because I want to ask you to help investigate, and it is about the two people who escorted the grain and grass this time." ”

"Xu Ge and Song Mingyu?" Princess Muyang was a little puzzled: "What's wrong with them?" ”

"It's about the grain and grass this time, and I found that there are some problems in it." Lin Wan'er didn't hide it from her, since she wanted to ask someone to help and hid it, it seemed that she was very insincere.

"Something wrong with the grain?" Princess Muyang exclaimed, then covered her mouth with her hands, and couldn't hide the shocked expression on her face: "Wan'er, how did you know about this?" ”

Lin Wan'er lowered her eyes, and there was no trace of temperature in her eyes: "Today I went out to see the grain and grass escorted by the imperial court, and I found something terrible, I am not sure who this matter means, so I can only come over to ask you for help." ”

"Is it that serious? You talk about it carefully. Princess Muyang also frowned, feeling that this matter would be far beyond her imagination.

Lin Wan'er hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth: "I found that the rut marks and horseshoe prints behind the carriage escorting grain and grass were shallower than the previous ones, so I followed up to the post station to take a look, and found that those boxes were not filled with grain at all, but cotton. ”

After listening to her words, Princess Muyang's eyes were full of disbelief, and she forgot to put down the hand that had been covering her mouth, her expression also became nervous, and she involuntarily lowered her voice: "You mean, someone exchanged cotton for grain and grass?" Corruption of officials in the DPRK? As far as I know, Xu Ge is just a young general who has always been raised in the body of General Yan, and as a soldier, he should not do such a thing, and finally Song Mingyu, although he is a little smart, but he is only a third-grade official, and he has no courage to do such a thing. ”

"That's why I want to ask you to investigate, my ability is not enough, the border war is tight, and I can't have an accident from the inside at this juncture." Lin Wan'er is still full of anger when she talks about it now, and some people don't know how many soldiers will be delayed for the sake of the interests of this moment.

"Okay, I promise you, I will let the prince help." Princess Muyang thought about it for a while and agreed decisively, not to mention that Lin Wan'er was her friend, Fang Yunxiao was Concubine Zhao's child, even if it was for the sake of the country's righteousness, she would not stand idly by.

"Thank you." Lin Wan'er showed a grateful smile, this year, she has made a lot of powerful friends in the capital, but there are only a few who can really be trusted.

"Is there anything else wrong?" Seeing her fall into deep thought, Princess Muyang asked suspiciously.

Lin Wan'er had a trace of worry in her eyes, fumbled with the teacup and said, "I'm worried that if this matter is not the corruption of officials, but the meaning of that person, it will be difficult to deal with." ”

This is indeed a problem, and Princess Muyang can't say what to do, she can only sigh and reassure: "The matter has not been investigated clearly, let's wait for the results to come out." ”

Just as Lin Wan'er thought, the way of escorting grain and grass was not smooth, in the beginning of a period of time, Song Mingyu always liked to rely on the old and sell the old, and instructed Xu Ge to follow his ideas, but Xu Ge was also young and vigorous, plus there was General Yan's guidance before departure, and he did not obey the civilian officials who only knew how to talk on paper.

The two leaders disagreed, the process of rushing was very unsmooth, the suffering was the following soldiers, fortunately, there was a turn, encountered a robber on the road, Xu Ge saved Song Mingyu's life while protecting the grain and grass, because he knew that he was at a loss, he was not looking for Xu Ge for the next period of time, seeing that he was about to go to the frontier, Song Mingyu began to take the shelf again, Xu Ge didn't care about it, his mood was more of a yearning for the battlefield, and he didn't want to fight with him at all.

More than a month later, the grain and grass came to the border safely, Fang Yunxiao brought his subordinates to come over for acceptance, his heart was ready to be old grain or no food at all, but after opening it, not only him, but the surrounding soldiers all showed a look of surprise, this time it was actually new grain! With the support of food, everyone is also full of confidence and has won three victories in a row.

"Whew." Children love to play the game of opening their mouths and exhaling in winter, and the breath they exhale turns white because of the cold weather, and they start squatting on the ground to prepare for snowball fights after comparing the size of the air mass.

In the middle of winter, a light layer of snow falls on the streets of the capital, and it is easy to leave footprints when you step on it, and children will look forward to a little more snow every day, so that there will be more ways to play - this carefree contrast with the solemnity of the frontier.
