Chapter 717: A Change of Collaborator
Hearing the last sentence, Wen Jingqi suddenly chuckled in his heart, and couldn't help but be a little suspicious, could it be that the materials in the barracks were really like this?
But it's impossible?
Even if the Wang family fooled a little, it would be impossible to put all these rags.
If they really put these rags into the army so blatantly, wouldn't they be stupid and hurt themselves.
Thinking of this, he looked at a few people hesitantly, "Is that really the case?"
"I really didn't lie to you."
Liu Heng said helplessly: "A few days ago, the swords that a few sect leaders under my command bought casually in the weapon shop outside could directly smash the swords in our barracks, and I also went to check it myself before I found out that the situation was so serious! Until then, I don't want to believe it."
As he spoke, he stepped forward and patted Wen Jingqi on the shoulder, and said softly, "My lord, this matter is not small, 500,000 military expenses, if the time comes, where did these military expenses go, have you thought about how to explain it?"
"What do you mean?"
Wen Jingqi's face instantly turned ugly, "Don't slander me!"
"Hehe, there are some things that we just need to understand in our hearts?" Liu Heng smiled faintly and said, "We just ask normally, if the adults can't even do their own duties, a few of us have to go to the Holy Lord for help."
"You—" Wen Jingqi looked at him angrily.
But even if he knew that Liu Heng was a threat, he had to admit that this was also the truth.
Then, he flicked his sleeves, and he didn't bother to smile anymore, and said directly: "Okay, I know, I will deal with this matter immediately, and I will send new weapons, clothes, and food to the barracks as soon as possible."
"How long is it as soon as possible, we need an exact time." Liu Heng smiled.
"Hmph, I'm sure I'll be ready before the army starts!" Wen Jingqi said angrily.
Qin Shiwei frowned, a little suspicious, "There is no evidence, we don't believe you, so let's do it, you make a note, if you don't finish it, or we find that your newly prepared materials are of too poor quality and shoddy, we will directly take the note and go to the emperor!"
"You deceive people too much!"
Wen Jingqi's face sank, "This official has already made a promise, why do you bother to press it step by step."
Zhou Ji sneered, "It's still the same sentence, it's not you who goes to the battlefield, and it's not you who goes to die!"
"You—"
Wen Jingqi was choked, her brows furrowed like knotted hemp rope, "What do you want?"
"I've got a compromise." Liu Heng smiled and said slowly: "Actually, the most important thing now is the weapons and equipment of the soldiers, and the rest can be delayed a little, so I suggest that the adults solve the weapon problem first, it just so happens that I know a person who has a better weapon in her hand, and the lethality and quality are far greater than the weapons you provided before, and the same is true for the armor, so the adults can consider changing to the businessmen who cooperate with the military department."
"What?"
Wen Jingqi was stunned, not expecting this solution at all.
The other three all looked at it, their expressions cold and with an invisible sense of oppression.
"My lord, think about it."
On the other side, Shen Youqiu also found Wang Rui.
And she brought with her, as well as a few notes of drawing.
"Why did Madam come to me, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to leave this Wang family?" Wang Rui sneered, "Just say anything about it, I'm afraid I'm in a bad mood, and something may happen to my wife later."
"You can't move me if you don't want to."
Shen Youqiu smiled, handed the note to Wang Rui, and said calmly, "You can take a look first."
"What? You'd better not play tricks."
Wang Rui frowned and took the note, and after reading it for a few seconds, the words in his mouth stopped abruptly, and then his face became extremely ugly, and he suddenly looked up at Shen Youqiu, "What do you mean?"
"What do you mean? Don't you understand?"
Shen Youqiu raised his eyebrows and said: "This is the list and number of various officials you have bribed over the years, think about it carefully, whether each one can be matched, by the way, don't be in a hurry to deny it, and don't be in a hurry to kill people and kill people, these witnesses and their families are now in my hands, you can't find them."
"And this, you can take a look at it too."
As he spoke, he handed over another piece of paper.
Wang Rui took the paper with a dark face, and after seeing the content on it, his face became even more ugly, and he looked at Shen Youqiu in disbelief, "What nonsense are you talking about? I tell you, don't make up these things that don't exist, don't try to slander me!"
It turned out to be a record of the fact that he was hoarding and stealing grain, as well as the location and number of his family's hidden granaries.
How could this woman know these things?
"Is it nonsense, let's find witnesses to compare them one by one, right?" Shen Youqiu smiled and continued, "However, I do have a question for you, how is it that your account of the grain harvest and the account of your expenditure are not the same every year? Where are you hiding the extra food? I asked people to check, most of the rice and noodles you have sold over the years are old goods, and even the food you provided to the army is some old grain, and even when there was a famine in the Great Song Dynasty the year before last, you didn't take out all the food."
"There were quite a few people who died at that time."
"You still insist on raising the price of food and supplying it in limited quantities after so many deaths, so where does the other good food go? Did you eat it alone, or did you smuggle it to someone else? Or is it smuggled to another country?"
Shen Youqiu's smile turned cold, "You said, if I tell the emperor about this matter, what will happen to your Wang family?"
Hearing this, Wang Rui's heart had sunk to the bottom, and even if he tried to stay calm, the expression on his face involuntarily became hideous and ugly.
"What nonsense are you talking about? If you want to slander me without any evidence, who do you think you are? Get out of here!"
"Don't get excited."
Shen Youqiu said coldly: "I think, you should have a certain understanding of me, so, you should know that I have almost directly faced the saint, so I am giving you a chance now, otherwise, with these things in my hands, your Wang family will be a dead end!"
Hearing this, Wang Rui stiffened, and his face was extremely ugly.
After a while, he slowly calmed down, his cannibalistic gaze fell on Shen Youqiu's body, and he asked word by word, "What do you want?"
"It's easy."
Shen Youqiu said lightly: "I want 250,000 stone grain!"
