The red cloak hunted in the air, and the horse's hooves clattered and kicked up a cloud of dust.

When he arrived at the barracks, General Zhou turned over and dismounted, strode towards his camp, "Summoning Zhang Hu, Zou Hui, and Sun Qingyun." ”

These three have followed him for many years, accompanied him all the way, and are good brothers who can be entrusted with life and death on the battlefield.

Soon several people arrived, Sun Qingyun looked at the three brothers gathered in the tent, and was shocked in his heart, now it is not wartime, General Zhou actually gathered the three of them together.

The closed tent made Sun Qingyun feel a little uneasy in his heart, "I don't know what the general commands?" ”

Under the dim candlelight, General Zhou's face was gloomy, "Today's saints value literature and light military force, and the military salary is once deducted, and after those black-hearted civilian officials, there is not much left when the military salary reaches our hands." ”

Zhang Hu is a violent temper, and to get to this position today is all due to his punches.

A black face was full of anger, and the thick beard almost flew up in anger.

"These wolf girls are raised, I said how the military salary is getting less and less, and when I don't have enough money, I will improve the food for my brothers and prepare weapons and materials."

General Zhou patted Zhang Hu on the shoulder, and his gaze swept to Zou Hui and Sun Qingyun.

"At noon the day after tomorrow, there will be a convoy escorting military salaries from the capital, so it is better for the brothers to go with me to rob the military salaries."

As soon as these words came out, Zou Hui was immediately shocked and hurriedly dissuaded, "Don't do it, robbing the army salary is a big crime to kill the head!" ”

Zhang Hu stretched out his palm and clenched his fists again, "I listened to the general, the military salary was originally issued to us by the saint, rather than letting those civil officials be greedy, it is better for Lao Tzu to snatch it himself." ”

Sun Qingyun held the hand of the feather fan in front of his chest, "Please think twice, general!" The problem of military salaries being corrupted is better to make it clear to the Holy God and let the Holy God make the decision for us. ”

"Look at today's court, where is there still a place for military attachés to speak." General Zhou shook his head and sighed, his white hair glaring in the candlelight.

"My Wan'er was beaten to death by the princess, and the saint protected the princess, and wanted to send my Zhou family away with a little money! In order to settle the matter, Concubine Lin promised to give me a promotion of one level, but she didn't fulfill it for a long time, and just a few days ago, a Wenchen of the Lin family's side was easily reused by the saint and promoted to one level! ”

The grief-stricken voice aroused the emotions of the three of them, and Sun Changqing, who had always been calm, also had anger on his face.

"It's just too deceitful!"

Zou Hui waved his hand, "It's just a robbery of military salaries, it's done!" ”

Time was urgent, and after finalizing the matter, several people hurriedly prepared to go.

Two days later, on the official road on the outskirts of Kyoto, Zhang Hu, Zou Hui, Sun Qingyun and a number of General Zhou and others with their henchmen and elite soldiers hid in the bushes on both sides of the official road, and a group of teams transporting military salaries slowly appeared in front of several people.

Suddenly, the clouds covered the scorching sun, General Zhou whistled, and everyone got the order and killed from their hiding places.

In close quarters, where was the opponent of General Zhou and others in the team transporting military pay, and it didn't take long for the piece of armor to be killed.

Zhang Hu couldn't wait to open the box containing the military salary, and the shadow of Bai Huahua almost blinded Zhang Hu's eyes.

"Oh my boy, there are so many!"

Zou Hui's face was gloomy, "Every time we only collect less than three layers of military salaries, it can be seen how much military salaries the people along the way are greedy!" ”

General Zhou came over and closed the box, "It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, retreat." ”

Sun Qingyun acted cautiously and was left to sweep the tail, the weapons scattered on the official road were properly put away by the arranger, the military salary escort team that died was quietly transported away, the blood was covered by dust, and it didn't take long for the chaotic official road to return to its former calm.

A few days later, the old emperor sat on the throne and looked at the courtiers below, and said as usual: "If there is something to start, there is nothing to retreat." ”

General Zhou stood up, "Holy Lord, this month's military salary has not been paid for a long time, and the minister asks the Holy Lord to govern the crime of unfavorable affairs." ”

Hube Shangshu was originally sleepy-eyed and dozing off in His Royal Highness, but he was not sleepy when he heard it at the moment.

"Zhou Pifu, you don't spew blood here, the military salary allocated by the household department has been sent to the military camp three days ago."

General Zhou snorted coldly, and his face was full of doubts, "You don't talk nonsense here, Lao Tzu hasn't received a single son, since you said that the military salary has been delivered, then you take out the note of the military camp to sign for the military salary and show it to the saint!" ”

"You wait, I'll send someone to fetch it." Hubu Shangshu was angry with a red face and a thick neck, and hugged the emperor with both fists, "Shengshang, Zhou Pifu is talking nonsense here, please allow the old minister to send someone to get the voucher." ”

"That's right."

With the emperor's consent, the head of the household immediately asked his officials to look for the evidence, I don't know how long later, the officials who were sent out looked embarrassed and came back empty-handed, and the head of the head of the department immediately sighed in his heart.

When the old emperor saw it, his brows furrowed, "What about the voucher?" ”

The official trembled and knelt on the ground all of a sudden, "Please forgive the Holy Lord, the lower official did not find the receipt of this batch of military salaries." ”

Tobe Shangshu's white beard kept shaking, and he hurriedly asked, "How is it possible!" Where is the payroll team now? ”

The official lowered his head and looked mournful, "Hui Shangshu, those people can't be found now." ”

The emperor Long Yan was furious, "This is what you said about allocating military salaries!" ”

The blood on Tobe Shangshu's face receded, and there was no longer the arrogance when he quarreled with General Zhou before, and he immediately knelt on the ground with a thud.

"Ask the emperor for forgiveness."

General Zhou knelt on his knees, bowed to the courtesy, and said in a righteous and solemn tone, "Shengshang, there is an urgent need to solve the problem of military salaries at the moment, the weapons in the military camp have been broken copper and iron raw materials, and the grain and grass are also insufficient, and the soldiers are powerless. ”

If there are really thieves who invade the land at this moment, how can the soldiers go to the battlefield to defend the throne and the country for him, the old emperor has no choice but to agree to this matter.

"The lost military salary will be made up from the treasury first, and Zhou Aiqing can only rest assured."

Losing the treasury in vain, the old emperor's heart ached faintly, and he looked at the household book with murderous eyes.

"I will give you three days for the matter of military salary, if you can't find out, come and see you!"

Hubu Shangshu, who was kneeling on the ground, curled up like a shrimp, cold sweat continued to ooze from his forehead, "Weichen leads the order, thank the emperor." ”

The old emperor moved the real fire, and the ministers were silent and did not dare to touch the mold at this time, and the people who had the intention to play also held the matter in their hearts.

The imperial eunuch received the emperor's eyes, pondered the form in front of him, took a step forward, and his voice was slender and sharp, "Retreat." ”
