Feng Nan was worried, but Zhou Zibin seemed quite calm and said softly.

"No, if you really want to turn back and confess us, he can't afford to pay this price, as for the so-called correspondence, if Shen Wanfu is stupid to this point, then it is impossible for the Shen family to exist in Dongzhou for many years."

"You know, Honshu is a dignified state pastor."

In the end, Zhou Zibin's words revealed obvious meaning, and Feng Nan showed a clear expression.

Yes, Zhou Zibin is the pastor of Dongzhou, the highest governor of a state, if it was really so easy to be manipulated by the so-called letters, I am afraid that he would have died countless times.

Zhou Zibin dared to be so upright and show this flaw, which shows that this matter is not a matter at all, it is deliberate, with his means, what is the so-called letter?

This time, it may be as Zhou Zibin said, this black cauldron, Shen Wanfu has to carry it if he doesn't carry it, so let's wait and see.

At the same time, Su Qi'an, who was about half a day's journey away from the state capital, fainted in a hurry, and gradually woke up under the conditioning of the medical officer.

His face was indifferent, he didn't say a word, his eyes were looking straight ahead, anyone could see that he was in a very bad mood, and no one dared to come forward to disturb him.

The convoy in a hurry headed towards the state city in front of it at the fastest speed, and in the end, Su Qi'an's convoy returned to the state city in less than an hour.

The Dongshan Army, which followed behind, did not enter the city, but was stationed on the outskirts of the city to rest.

After entering the city, Su Qi'an did not mean to stop the whole process, and went straight to the state capital non-stop.

At this time, the state capital, as if receiving the news in advance, when Su Qi'an stepped into the state capital, Zhou Zibin, Feng Nan, Wu Xian, Jiang Kun and other big figures in the state capital had already waited.

Su Qi'an glanced at everyone, and naturally sat on the top seat.

Zhou Zibin, Feng Nan and other officials bowed their hands, and then there was a long silence in the mansion.

No one took the initiative to speak, they knew too well what the purpose of Su Qi'an's return to the state capital was.

In such a major fiasco on the front line this time, in addition to Su Qi'an, Wu Dingguo and other front-line generals who cannot run and must be held accountable, in the same way, they who serve as the rear to provide supplies must also be held responsible.

According to Wu Dingguo's investigation, the reason why the pirates discovered the hidden granary was not because of their negligence, but because on the way to transportation, someone reported to the pirates.

It is no exaggeration to say that the so-called hidden route has long been exposed to the eyes of pirates and pirates.

Su Qi'an and a group of officials are to be held accountable, and they take this responsibility, but this is the responsibility of leaking the whereabouts and route, resulting in the burning of nearly 100,000 grains and grass, and no one present can escape.

Su Qi'an looked at the silent crowd and said softly, "Let's talk about it, at this time, who is responsible for this."

Su Qi'an's voice was very soft, but everyone felt a little anger in his voice.

At this time, in the silent mansion, someone finally spoke.

"I am responsible for the destruction of grain and grass when the transportation route is discovered."

"I confess all the condemnation of the Inspector and have nothing to say."

It was none other than Shen Wanfu, who hadn't shown up for a long time.

Since his three sons were beheaded in public, Shen Wanfu has rarely appeared in public places in Zhoucheng, they all live in seclusion, and the Shen family's business is handed over to his two sons.

The reason for this is mostly because of the pain of losing a child, and it does take a while to get used to.

And this time the route of transporting grain and grass on the front line, the people and horses in charge of it are the Shen family caravan.

The transportation route was discovered, such a big thing, as the head of the Shen family, it was impossible not to be responsible.

This time, it is impossible to escape anything, and Shen Wanfu is also very clear about this.

Before learning that Su Qi'an returned to Zhou City, he guessed that he did not hide, but accepted it calmly.

He has already experienced the pain of losing a child, and this time because the family business firm did something wrong, he has nothing to shirk, so he just admits it.

Shen Wanfu's honesty was almost expressionless, Su Qi'an nodded slightly, and said softly, "Okay, this envoy admires the Shen family master's frankness

Sincerely, according to the law, whoever delays the delivery of grain and grass should be beheaded."

Hearing this, everyone present was taken aback, according to the law, it is true, but Shen Wanfu did not participate in the escort, and the route he chose was not discovered, even if it was someone else, it was difficult to guarantee.

Moreover, these pirates have always been cunning and very fond of infiltration, and it is always inevitable that they cannot be prevented.

Even if he is accountable, with Shen Wanfu's status and status, he will definitely not be able to get to the point of being beheaded, which is really a bit too much.

Everyone's shock, Su Qi'an didn't pay attention to it at all, he stared at Shen Wanfu with his eyes, as if he wanted to see Shen Wanfu's inner thoughts.

But even if Su Qi'an said such an excessive, Shen Wanfu was still expressionless and indifferent.

He also looked at Su Qi'an, was silent for a while, and said softly, "Well, the Inspector wants to behead me, according to the law, I admit it, who made me derelict in my duties, but before I behead me, I have a sentence I want to ask the Inspector."

"Those who delay the transportation of grain and grass should be beheaded, which will lead to the fiasco of this war, as the supreme inspector of Dongzhou, should you be beheaded according to the law?"

"Shhh

Shen Wanfu's words instantly made everyone gasp, and even Zhou Zibin, who had always been calm and free, had his eyelids jumping.

He didn't expect that Shen Wanfu, who had always been gentle and smiling, would be so rigid.

The eyes, attitude, did not fear Su Qi'an at all, and the two were completely-for-tat.

Shen Wanfu was stunned, Su Qi'an looked at it for a long time, and then laughed out loud, "Hahaha, this is a good thing, but if you want to behead the envoy, it's up to you, is it worthy?"

"Since the supervision envoy has said so, Shen also returned this to the supervision envoy as it is, and wants to behead Shen, the supervision makes you unqualified!"

As soon as the two sides said this, the atmosphere in the mansion was instantly tense and low, and no one needed to open their mouths to stimulate them at this time, or it wouldn't be long before the two sides would have to fight.

As the atmosphere in the mansion became more and more tense, Zhou Zibin on the side spoke.

"Inspector, Shen Family Master, there is no need to make such a fuss about this matter, if this spreads, don't let the pirates laugh at them."

"Yes, yes, what the Shen family master said is just angry words, don't take it seriously, now that the Dongzhou front line has been defeated, we don't want to fight among ourselves at this time."

"The top priority is how to recover the two lost counties as soon as possible and rebuild the low morale."

"Both of them are important figures to Dongzhou, so don't be angry here at this time, and take a step back, okay?"

After Zhou Zibin finished speaking, Feng Nan also came out to play a round, saying good things and comforting both sides.

The two of them quickly changed their attitudes, but they didn't really speak for the two, but because of the situation in the mansion.

If the two of them continue to fight each other, they don't have to wait for Su Qi'an to go to the front line, and this state city will have to be messed up by the two.

If the rear is unstable, how can the front line be stabilized, and when the time comes, let the pirates seize this opportunity and make another raid, and this Dongzhou can still be stable?

This is not a joke, not to mention Su Qi'an's strength, the Dongshan Army under his command and the Split Mountain Army are obvious to all.

And although Shen Wanfu does not have a huge army in his hands, the Shen family's industry is all over Dongzhou, and he is really going to get up with Su Qi'an, and Dongzhou's economy must not be paralyzed.

When the time comes, they don't wait for the pirates to come in, and they will be in chaos.

Although their purpose was to make Shen Wanfu take the blame, they didn't want him to make such a big fuss.

Losing both sides is not beneficial to Zhou Zibin, Feng Nan and others, so this led the two to try their best to persuade them.

Wu Xian and Jiang Kun, who were shocked and speechless on the side, also knew that the situation was serious and dissuaded them as soon as possible.

Under the persuasion of the four people, the tense atmosphere of the two people obviously converged and improved a lot.

But the two still didn't have a good face, and after calming down the tense atmosphere of the two a little, Su Qi'an spoke.

"According to the law, Shen Wanfu, you really deserve to be beheaded, but this matter really has nothing to do with you.

It has not been confirmed that it was your betrayal, your life is saved, the death penalty can be avoided, and the Shen family firm has made meritorious service for the crime, and the deadline is ten days, and 50,000 grains and grass are collected from the firm, and after the collection is completed, this envoy will immediately go to the front line."

"Don't worry, the envoy will admit the crime that the envoy bears, and the envoy will report this matter to the court, no matter how the court punishes, the envoy will admit it."

"Ten days later, this envoy will go to the front line, if the two counties cannot be recovered, the court will judge this envoy, and this envoy will admit it."

After saying this, Su Qi'an's eyes swept over Zhou Zibin and Feng Nan, and said coldly.

"The front line has been defeated, I hope everyone in the rear can learn a lesson, remember, the front and rear are a whole, if the first nine counties are gone, what will happen to the last nine counties, everyone knows it, hope to do it yourself."

After saying this, Su Qi'an had no intention of staying, and immediately got up and left.

Seeing Su Qi'an leave, several people in the mansion breathed a sigh of relief.

Don't look at Su Qi'an's cruel words just now, but they know that the fiasco on the Dongzhou front line is in the past.

Of course, the only person who was most wronged in this matter in the past was naturally Shen Wanfu.

The conflict between the two sides barely subsided, and his life was saved, but the punishment given by Su Qi'an was not a lot of pressure.

Let the Shen family firm raise 50,000 grains and grass, if this matter is placed in normal times, it may be nothing, but the rear has just experienced a round of collection of 100,000 grains and grass, even if it is illegally obtained, it is planted from fertile land from all over the country.

In such a short period of time, another wave of solicitation is required, and with the strength of the Shen family, it is not impossible, but it will be purchased at a high price, and this time Shen Wanfu will most likely bleed hemorrhage.

Watching Su Qi'an leave, in order to alleviate the tense posture in the mansion, under Feng Nan's signal, Wu Xian and Jiang Kun were relieved and praised to Shen Wanfu.

praised Shen Wanfu for the sake of the overall situation, he was wronged, and after this incident, he would invite him to a gathering for a certain time another day, and promised that if there was a chance in the future, he would definitely get back for Shen Wanfu.
