His throat rolled up and down, and he looked around, noticing that the people standing in this hall were Chen Mu's people and county orders, and there were no outsiders.

General Nie breathed a sigh of relief and spoke.

"I ...... What I'm going to talk about has to do with military salaries and grain and grass. ”

"Although our territory in Great Xia is calm and stable, our small team of troops stationed around these counties is just to prevent rogues or bandits from harassing the people."

"But even so...... The military salaries and grain and grass distributed to us by the imperial court are also too small, they are really too little, and the military salaries and grain and grass distributed in the first two years are said to be for us for five years. ”

"When the results came to us, I took a closer look and found that even a year was not enough. Seeing that the food, grass and military salaries have been used up, we cannot plunder the food of the surrounding villagers. ”

"In desperation, I sent a message to the county magistrate of this county a few days ago, hoping that he could deliver a message to the people in Beijing."

"After all, the military salary, grain and grass were distributed by the people in the capital, and then distributed through the county head, we thought that we would send news to the county order, and the county order would be clear to the county guard and the people in the capital."

"As a result, I didn't expect that the news was sent out, and there was no response for a long time, and we were about to come to this county to find the county order to inquire about the situation, and I heard that an adult from the capital came to the county and arrested the county order, and the county order colluded with the people in the capital."

"I also colluded with local bandits and wealthy households to loot a lot of people's fat and ointment."

"At that time, we guessed that the military salaries and grain and grass that should have been sent to us were partially exploited by the county order and the forces behind him."

"After hearing that a new county order has been taken over this county, I plan to bring someone over to inquire about the situation."

"The result didn't come to fruition, some time ago, we applied to the imperial court for a new batch of military salaries and grain and grass also arrived, and this time the military salaries and grain and grass sent were reluctantly allocated under the condition that we repeatedly wrote to us."

"The people above said that the military salaries and grain and grass distributed to us this time were enough for us for three years, and after I received those things, I took a closer look, good fellow, not even half a year is enough! Isn't that bullying? ”

"Last time, he sent us more than half a year's worth of grain and grass, but now it's not enough for half a year, I don't know how the people above liquidated, did he think that there were not many soldiers in my barracks? Anyway, there are nearly 1,000 people stationed there. ”

"If that grain and grass were for me and my personal guards and henchmen, it would last for three years, but if it was distributed, according to the number of people in our barracks, it would not be three years."

"I was really angry, and I remembered that when I communicated with the local county guard and the officials in Beijing before, they didn't lie to me, I ...... In a fit of rage, I took the men into the city. ”

"I thought about putting pressure on the newly arrived county order, and at the same time meeting the adult from the capital, but it didn't come to pass. I accidentally offended you! ”

"When I saw you appear outside that gate just now, I only thought you were the son of a rich family, after all, I just heard about the collusion of the county magistrate in the city with the local rich family some time ago."

"Therefore, I thought that this county order would come, and I would do such a thing, and when you just appeared, I was even more sure of my guess, and in a fit of anger, I also did something impulsive, and I hope you will atone for your sins."

Chen Mu raised his eyebrows when he heard the other party say this, he waved his hand, but he didn't care about it.

And this person has just received the punishment, and the person in front of him doesn't know his identity, the other party was promoted all the way to the position of this little general in the local area, not a general transferred from the capital.

Chen Mu pondered for a moment before saying to General Nie.

"You said that someone deprived you of your military salaries and grain and grass, and the amount distributed is very different from the amount given to you by the imperial court, this is not a trivial matter, I have to check it to see if this situation happened in other military camps."

"If it happens in other barracks, then ......"

When Chen Mu said this, his eyes condensed slightly, and he sneered, he didn't expect that someone would dare to exploit the military salaries and grain and grass in the military camp.

He has always sent people to keep an eye on the affairs of the officials in Beijing and Central China, and because he has been expanding the territory for some time ago, he attaches great importance to the situation in the barracks.

During that period of time, the barracks in various places had sufficient food and grass, and the military pay was abundant, and he never thought that someone would hit the barracks in such a short time.

Now after hearing General Nie say this, Chen Mu immediately remembered the wine bags and rice bags in Beijing with the name of the general.

"You don't need to check this, when I noticed that the military salaries and grain and grass issued by our military camp were ridiculously small, I sent someone to ask."

"The generals of the barracks stationed in a little farther away, those generals wrote back to me that they were the same, but few were not as outrageous as we were."

"The cities where those people are stationed are all important cities, close to the border, maybe those people in the capital dare not exploit too much, and they are also worried that if they exploit too much, they will cause dissatisfaction with the border heavy army, and then play the imperial court."

"Our soldiers and horses stationed in the territory of Great Xia to protect the safety of the people have become the target of their exploitation, which is really hateful."

"We are guarding the safety of the people, bandits are frequent everywhere, if our horses are not enough to eat, and we have no food in our hands, then how can we fight those bandits."

Bandits can't be underestimated, and if those people are given the opportunity, they are also prone to make a big mess.

Chen Mu understood this truth, and now when he heard General Nie say this, Chen Mu also nodded with a serious face and responded to the peace.

"Cheng, I know, I will immediately let people thoroughly investigate those wine bags and rice bags in the capital, once I find out that there is something strange, I will definitely not let them go, you go back to your barracks first and wait."

"As for the matter of you bringing troops into the city, I thought that you were young and vigorous, but you were reckless for a while, and after returning to the barracks, and after recovering from the wounds on your body, you went to receive a penalty of twenty lashes, and after receiving it, this matter will be settled."

The crime of leading troops into the city and the crime of ramming His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are two different things, and the punishment of the fifteen lashes he just received is a great sin against His Royal Highness the Prince.

Nowadays, the felony of leading troops into the city must be liquidated, and General Nie naturally understands this truth.

After hearing Chen Mu say this, he nodded and agreed, not only did he not blame Chen Mu, but he even felt quite lucky.

It was just a few whips, he had been in the barracks for a long time, and he had not suffered any kind of injuries, and those whiplashes were nothing to him at all, and he hurriedly withdrew from the mansion.

Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief, he thought about it for a while, looked in the direction of the county order, and then spoke.

"Take me to the dungeon."
