Text Chapter 93: Teased
Along with the letter of repentance and the silver two sent to the capital, there was also the account book given by Liu Tingwei, and a letter jointly written by Shangguan Yu and Rong Lian to the emperor.
The letter contained information about the living conditions of the soldiers they had seen since they entered the barracks, as well as rumors about the pensions they had heard.
As for the scrap paper ball with Liang Zheng's name written on it, Shangguan Yu thought about it for a while and decided not to take it out, there is no other evidence now, if he rashly says everything, it will only cause controversy, and no one will believe it, so it is better to wait until there is other evidence in the future before speaking.
Anyway, now that he knows Liang Zheng's true face, he will be more vigilant in the future.
Hussar General's Palace.
Liang Zheng was in a very good mood in the past two days, because he had just received a letter from Guo Feng to him with Hai Dongqing.
The letter not only said that he would send someone to send this year's money in the next few days, but also told him that Shangguan Yu and Rong Lian in the military camp were very incompatible, and they were at odds with each other everywhere.
If even the main generals and deputy generals in the barracks are not aligned, how can this battle be fought well, so Liang Zheng thought that Guan Yu's winning rate in this battle was very small.
got the result he wanted without much effort, and Liang Zheng naturally showed today's sadness, and it was rare to bring a smile on his face.
Even the maids in the house could see it, how could Shen Ling, the person next to him, not see it.
"Why is my husband so happy recently, is he raising someone outside behind my back?"
Shen Ling snuggled into his arms and quipped.
Liang Zheng grabbed her hand and looked at her, his eyes were full of tenderness, "Talking nonsense, how I have treated my wife over the years, others don't know, don't you know, madam, I almost wrote your name on my heart." ”
Shen Ling smiled shyly after hearing his words, she didn't look like a woman who had given birth to a few children and was already in her thirties, just like a young girl, it could be seen that Liang Zheng had treated her very well over the years.
The two were whispering and enjoying the boudoir when there was a knock on the door outside.
"Tell the general, I have something to report in an urgent matter of eight hundred miles!"
Liang Zheng thought that Guo Feng had given him the news that he had lost the battle, and he was even more overjoyed, "Come in and report quickly!" ”
After the visitor entered the house, when he saw Shen Ling, he hesitated and didn't know whether to say it.
Seeing this, Liang Zheng knew that he had a secret to report, and he didn't want Shen Ling to know too much about what he was doing, so he turned his head and whispered softly to her.
"I suddenly want to drink the soup cooked by Mrs. herself, I wonder if Mrs. is willing to wash her hands and make soup for me at this time?"
Shen Ling had long been accustomed to not going to inquire about what Liang Zheng was doing, so when he heard him say this, he nodded and wanted to go to the kitchen.
Seeing that her figure had gone away, the cronies who sent the message spoke in a panic.
"The general is not good! Lord Yu won the battle against the Huns again this time, and Guo Duhu was found hanging himself at home, I'm afraid our affairs have already been discovered! ”
"What! Guo Feng is dead! Liang Zheng stood up violently, his face was shocked, and his heart was like a pot of hot oil exploded, not knowing what to do.
Finally calmed down, Liang Zheng hurriedly spoke, but there was a faint inaudible vibrato in his voice.
"Don't panic yet, tell me everything as it is."
"Report to the general, the news we got is not complete, but it is said that King Yu secretly searched for evidence of Guo Duhu's embezzlement of military salaries, and wanted to arrest him, but he got the news in advance, and hanged himself overnight, leaving only a letter of repentance.
But we haven't gotten any news about what is written in it yet, only that King Yu sent someone to send the silver two and this letter of repentance that were found from Guo Duhu's mansion to the capital. ”
The cronies hurriedly told everything they knew, but this time they didn't get any clear news, so they didn't know much about some things.
Shangguan Yu in the courtyard was afraid that Liang Zheng would secretly do something when he sent someone to escort the evidence in the capital, so this time he did not let the people who sent war reports to the capital on weekdays to escort him, but sent a group of his cronies to change the road and rush to the capital for several days.
Shangguan Yu was not worried about being wrong, the people who came to deliver the war report in the past were also Liang Zheng's people, and once there was any news on weekdays, he would know earlier than the people in the whole capital.
It's just that this time the cold Shangguan Yu used such a hand, and when Liang Zheng got the news, the evidence and the silver were already about to enter the palace, so he couldn't do anything if he wanted to.
Listening to the words of his cronies, Liang Zheng secretly pondered in his heart, no matter what, he believed that Guo Feng would not confess himself.
This self-confidence does not come from Guo Feng's loyalty, but because his family is in the hands of Liang Zheng, so Liang Zheng believes that Guo Feng's self-hanging and the letter of repentance are to help him cover up his crimes.
Thinking like this, Liang Zheng was no longer as flustered as he was just now, he reached out and picked up the tea that was already a little cold on his side, and took a sip.
This sip of herbal tea entered his throat, which calmed his mind even more.
"You just said that Shangguan Yu won this battle again?"
This is what Liang Zheng can't figure out the most, the main general and the deputy general are incompatible, and the other party also has a fierce general with natural divine power, how did Shangguan You win this battle?
The cronies nodded hurriedly, Shangguan Yu's reputation for winning this war had begun to spread from Yumen Pass to the capital, and the people all admired him after hearing it.
"Not only won, it is said that King Yu also partnered with Rong Guogong's son, and the design made the deputy general of the Huns go crazy and kill his own soldiers, everyone said that this battle was won very beautifully, and it didn't take much effort at all."
When Liang Zheng heard him say that Shangguan Yu and Rong Lian were partnering, he suddenly understood something, his face suddenly became gloomy, and his face was dark, like a dense summer cloud, and lightning and thunder were about to start.
It turned out that he was teased by two hairy boys, Shangguan Yu and Rong Lian's so-called incompatibility, and the tension turned out to be fake!
The two must have deliberately staged those scenes to paralyze themselves and others, and then took the opportunity to start investigating the matter of military pay in the shadows, and found out the matter without even alarming anyone during this period.
What's ridiculous is that he really believed it when he heard Guo Feng's message from the beginning, and he was even a little complacent about it.
Damn, I was tricked!
What a pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, let's wait and see in the future!
Liang Zheng had not received such a humiliation since he became a hussar general, and the anger in his heart could not be extinguished for a while, so he casually waved his sleeves and swept the teacup on his side to the ground.
"If the emperor gets these evidence, he will be furious, and I am afraid that he will order this matter to be investigated, and now the expedient measure is to blame Guo Feng for everything, the greater the crime on his head, the less suspicious we are."
Liang Zheng paced around the study with his hands behind his back, his steps were fast, and he was still talking about countermeasures.
"I am now sick at home and can't go to the court, you quickly go and tell our own people in the DPRK that when you go to the court tomorrow, we will jointly besiege Guo Feng, and if anyone questions where the military salaries that were embezzled before have gone, let them give Guo Feng a name of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country."
Although it is said that Guo Feng died for himself, Liang Zheng was able to give him the title of "collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country", which can be seen in his ruthlessness.
In the Imperial Palace, in the Imperial Study.
Shangguan Sha was looking at the letter sent by Shangguan Yu, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out, looking like he was already angry.
The letter said that the soldiers in the barracks were still wearing summer clothes in the cold autumn, and they ate boiled vegetables in clear water, and they didn't even touch the oil stars, and even most of the pensions after death were deducted.
After reading this, Shangguan Cha slapped the table violently and scolded angrily: "There is such a thing!" ”
Seeing that the emperor was angry, everyone in the study hurriedly knelt down, lowered their eyebrows, and shouted respectfully.
"Please don't be too angry, protect the dragon body!"
Shangguansha has been the emperor for many years, and it can be regarded as smooth sailing, although he has not made any great achievements, but he can be regarded as keeping the reputation of his ancestors and doing a lot of measures to benefit the people.
A few years ago, he also had people catch a group of corrupt officials in the officialdom, and everyone was severely punished in the end, thinking that he would borrow chickens to kill monkeys to set an example.
I never thought that this biggest corrupt official would hide in the barracks, and he embezzled 200,000 taels of silver this year alone!
How many people should have been corrupted in the past few years!
Shangguan Sha thought that these silver taels were greedy from the soldiers at the border pass, and he was afraid for a while.
He didn't dare to imagine that such a long-term soldier who had not been well dressed and fed well, or a fat and healthy Hun soldier who had eaten on it, if he was defeated and was stepped on by them through the Yumen Pass, the gate of Daguan would be lost, and even the foundation left by his ancestors might be destroyed in his own hands.
Then how can you be worthy of your ancestors and the people of Daxuan?
This time we must investigate thoroughly, why there are such moths in the army but no one has questioned it, if it weren't for his own Yu'er found out this time, how much money would such a person embezzle in the army.
The next day, I went to court.
Shangguan Cha sat on the dragon chair from the beginning, his face was a little gloomy, and the unknown officials below were all vigilant, and the atmosphere in the entire hall was a little anxious.
And those officials who already knew the inside story exchanged a knowing look with each other at this time, and each had their own careful thoughts in their hearts.
Shangguan sat on it, received everyone's reactions in his eyes, and then spoke very majestically.
"Yesterday, King Yu, who was in Yumen Pass, sent someone to send me some things, do you know what Aiqing is?"
Regardless of whether the officials below knew it or not, they could only keep their heads down and remain silent. Only Su Muwan's father, Su Qingyun, spoke at this time.
