But in fact, he made the accounts, and the pensions issued to the families of the soldiers were also sent from him, and no one knew better than him how much money the families of those soldiers could get.

The imperial court originally wanted everyone to give a few taels of pension, but he first deducted more than half of it, and then after a layer of relationships, he finally sent it to his family, I am afraid that one or two pieces of silver are reluctant.

So Guo Feng was silent, he really didn't know how to answer these words.

Shangguan Yu didn't care whether he answered or not, and said again to himself, "A few taels of silver is a life!" Even if you go to buy a subordinate, you have to spend seven or eight taels on one, so why is the life of the soldiers so low! ”

Guo Feng sulked his head, thinking of the little soldiers he brought under him in Beijing before, all of them were very simple and didn't say anything good, because they were admitted to the imperial examination and could read and write, they always admired it very much, obviously their official position was not big, but those soldiers respected themselves very much.

Even at the beginning of each month, there are always people lining up for them to read the letters, simple letters to the family, and some even write about the livestock at home, which makes people laugh a little bit when they read it.

But that thin piece of paper is carrying a heavy feeling of longing.

Is that longing worth only a tael of silver? Guo Feng questioned himself in his heart.

Since when has he been ruthless to this point, what kind of hard-hearted person has he become in the past few years!

Shangguan Yu saw that he was silent for a long time, and he was very silent, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'm really in a bad mood today. Why don't you go to the bar with me, and drink away this sorrow! ”

With that, Gu Jinfeng instructed Lan Yu beside him.

"Go and bring over the jar of good wine I brought from the carriage, I want to drink with Guo Duhu today without getting drunk."

Lan Yu nodded and hurriedly walked out of the house.

On the wine table, the two of them did not drink three or two glasses, but drank one by one.

Guo Feng didn't know which sentence Shangguan Yu had hooked his mind today, he had been thinking about his many actions before, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had unconsciously become the kind of person he once despised the most.

Shangguan Yu drank the wine in the cup in one gulp and burped.

"I don't hide it, I really have a reason for this tonight, a little soldier said to me today, he has a fellow villager, after the last sacrifice, only one or two pieces of silver were sent to his family, his fellow villager is a single family of three generations, hearing the news, the old grandmother died on the spot because she was too sad."

Guo Feng was originally holding a glass of wine, but when he heard this, he was suddenly startled, and as soon as his hand was released, the cup was directly thrown to the ground and shattered in half.

"Why are you so careless, are you also too angry to hear about this?"

Shangguan Yu was blindfolded at this time, looking already a little drunk, and he couldn't even speak clearly.

In order not to make him suspicious, Guo Feng had to nod, "What the general said is indeed infuriating. ”

However, his mind was turning back and forth, he wondered if it would be the things he did that were leaked, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and in the middle of the night in the cold autumn, he was full of sweat.

"Sure enough, Du Hu still understands the righteousness, I see, these pensions have been deducted layer by layer by those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but how can they be so bold, that's dead people's money, they dare to take a handful, this is a thing that hurts the heavens and reason, and damages the yin morality!"

The more Shangguan Yu spoke, the more angry he became, and the last few words were almost shouted.

Guo Feng sat at the table and muttered the eight words that Shangguan Yu said just now: "Hurting heaven and reason, harming yin morality ......"

Originally, Shangguan Yu didn't suspect him, he should feel lucky, but at this time, his heart seemed to be smashed by those eight words, and all kinds of feelings came to his heart for a while.

Shangguan Yu walked up to Guo Feng again, put his arm around his shoulder, and spoke.

"The last time I met Du Hu, I was very moved, if the officials in the world are like Du Hu, loyally doing things for the court, regardless of their own interests, first the worries of the world, and then the joy of the world, how can this kind of thing happen."

Shangguan Yu muttered a few more words, Guo Feng couldn't hear it clearly, but those words were probably scolding the officials who embezzled pensions.

Finally, in the end, Shangguan Yu lay on the table and did not move for a long time.

Guo Feng shouted softly: "General? But he didn't respond.

At this time, Lan Yu walked up, helped Shangguan Yu up, and said to Guo Feng apologetically: "Lord Duhu, my master is afraid that he is drunk, so I will take him back to the barracks first." ”

Guo Feng also saw that Shangguan Yu had drunk a lot, and at this time he was in a daze, so he nodded.

"Carefully protect your master on the road, go back and pour him a bowl of sobering soup, otherwise he will be late tomorrow in front of the stage."

Lan Yu nodded, his face full of gratitude.

"The little one thanked Guo Du for protecting the master, my master has been talking about you since the last time I went back, and you are a rare person who understands, this time as soon as I have something on my mind, I want to come over to talk to you, this time I am really embarrassed."

After Lan Yu finished speaking, he helped Shangguan Yu out of the room little by little.

At the wine table, Guo Feng was the only one left at this time, and he sat there, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a long time, he suddenly laughed and began to talk to himself.

"Understand people, be loyal, Lord Yu, you really think highly of me, what I, Guo Feng, am doing is the thing that hurts the heavens and harms the yin morality!"

After that, his laughter became louder and louder, and finally he burst into tears, which was a little infiltrating in this empty cold night.

This night, he sat alone at the table, drinking cup by cup, originally wanted to get himself drunk, so he wouldn't think so much, but he couldn't get drunk at all.

on the carriage.

As soon as Shangguan Yu got into the carriage, he immediately sat up, his eyes were clear, and there was still the misty color just now.

Just now, he was pretending to be drunk!

After Shangguan Yu Yungong forced all the alcohol on his body away, he asked Lan Yu, "Everything went well just now?" ”

Lan Yu nodded, just now when the two of them were drinking freely, he left quietly according to Shangguan Yu's order, Guo Feng was afraid that Shangguan Yu would say something, so he didn't notice his departure at all.

There were no guards in the Metropolitan Mansion, and Lan Yu performed light skills, avoided people, and arrived at the study very easily.

"Tell the Lord, everything is going well, I have just sneaked into his study, he seems to be doing accounts, but Guo Feng is very careful, I looked for a call and didn't find any letters, I'm afraid that they were all destroyed after he read them, and only found a waste paper ball in the hidden place on the ground."

After Lan Yu finished speaking, he handed the waste paper ball to Shangguan Yu, and he unfolded the paper ball with his hand.

In the upper right corner, it is clearly written "General Liang personally enlightened".

The person behind the scenes is actually Liang Zheng!

Hussar General Liang Zheng!

Shangguan Yu couldn't believe his eyes for a long time, and his thoughts were turbulent. These days, he has doubted many people, but he has not suspected Liang Zheng.

Over the years, Liang Zheng has made a lot of contributions, and his momentum is close to the old general Shen Guang, and he can be called the second person among the generals.

But that's it, isn't he satisfied, what does he want to do with so much money in secret.

Shangguan Yu was very puzzled, he was appointed by his father to replace the seriously ill Liang Zheng to serve as the main general, how could the last found rat in the army be him!

Lan Yu had already seen the words on the paper, and he asked hesitantly, "Lord, do you want to send a message to tell the emperor about this." ”

Shangguan Yu came back to his senses at this moment and shook his head.

"How to tell, just rely on this piece of waste paper, this is really not enough to prove that he is the person behind the scenes, Guo Feng can completely say that he wrote a letter to Liang Zheng to say other things, we acted easily, but we were startled."

"So what do we do next?" Lan Yu asked.

Shangguan Yu pondered for a moment and slowly spoke, "You first send an order to our people who stay in the capital, and ask them to keep a close eye on the movements in Liang Zheng's mansion for me." ”

"As for us, we still have to find a way to find other evidence from Guo Feng, today I see that Guo Feng listened to my words, his face is very bad, I am afraid that if he does these things, he is also a little reluctant in his heart."

At the wine table just now, Shangguan Yu seemed to be drunk, but in fact, he had been watching Guo Feng's every move, and he could see the entanglement between his eyebrows, especially when he mentioned the incident of Xiaobing's fellow villagers, he had regret on his face.

This may be the breakthrough for them to find clues from Guo Feng!

Lan Yu nodded, "Then are we still staring at Liu Tingwei and Li Fu?" ”

"Watch! I'd love to know how they got together. ”

"Subordinates obey!"

The carriage carried Shangguan Yu through the night, galloped all the way back to the barracks, and when he returned to the tent, he found Rong Lian waiting.

Shangguan Yu couldn't understand why he was here, "Why did Brother Lian come to me at this time, did something happen?" ”

Normally, if he and Rong Lian meet late at night and have something to discuss, they will send someone to deliver a message and agree on a good time, so as not to be discovered, why is there no news today, but Rong Lian suddenly came here.

Rong Lian nodded, with a straight face, "Big brother, I have something to say." ”

Seeing this, Shangguan Yu hurriedly took him to sit at the desk together, "Why are you so flustered?" ”

Rong Lian hurriedly spoke: "We just got off the battlefield today, and after I saw the wounded soldiers, I returned to the military tent, but someone quietly touched my tent and said something to me that teased the feelings between us, and the motive was very impure. ”
