On this day, Xiang Mu, the captain of the personal guard who went out, finally returned.

"General Xuanyuan, Sima in Bei Pass Prefecture really has a problem, and it is estimated that the problem is very big! In the past few days, he has sent people to transport more than 100 truckloads of brute beast skins into the divine capital! ”

Xuanyuan Banmeng took his hand and walked quickly into the tent, Xiang Mu didn't come back, Xuanyuan Banmeng would go to the state city to find someone.

"Don't worry, you speak slowly, in detail." Xuanyuan Banmeng heard that there was indeed a problem, and his face immediately became gloomy.

Xiang Mu began to tell the story of the past half month: "At the beginning, I acted separately with the guards, visited several large brute animal skin shops in the state city, and asked the price of brute animal skins, and they said no! ”

"Didn't you?" Xuanyuan Banmeng asked with some doubts, although the land in Bei Pass Prefecture is not very suitable for farming, but there are quite a lot of brute beasts, hunters hunt brute beasts, the meat can be eaten by themselves, and the brute animal skins are sold to traders, how can there be none?

Xiang Mu continued: "It stands to reason that since there are not so many brute animal skins, where did Sima Xiao Datong's brute beast skins come from!" If Orion hunted a lot of brute beasts, then the brute skins were kept for animal skin clothing, and there should be a lot of them in the market! And there will be more brute meat, but unexpectedly, there is very little brute meat in the bazaar, there must be something wrong with this, it is not reasonable at all, and the owner of this brute skin shop often escorts grain out of the customs! And then he pulled the beast skin into the customs! ”

"Go on." Xuanyuan nodded thoughtfully.

"Then I stared at one of the big brute animal skin shops, the shopkeeper is called Wang Shutong, I just want to see where his brute animal skin is sold, it can't be his own use, and then I found that he was very close to the owner of a grain farm in the state city, known as eight taels of gold, I took the guards into their grain depot, but found that a large amount of grain was hoarded, and the cloth bag of the grain was written on the official warehouse of Bei Kui Prefecture, so it was put in the warehouse, I took one out." After speaking, Xiang Mu took a cloth bag from the package and came out.

Xuanyuan opened it in a half-dream and saw that it was clearly written: The official warehouse of Bei Pass Prefecture is also covered with the official seal of Bai Pass Prefecture. According to the law of Longteng, all grain collected by the government must be stamped with the official seal on each bag for easy traceability.

Exchange military rations for the brute hides of the White Elephant Empire! Then sell the hides of wild beasts to other places for huge profits! It seems that this matter is very extensive, and now the physical evidence is there, but Xuanyuan Banmeng is a little annoyed: "At most, it can only show that the grain is flowing out of the official warehouse, and it can't mean that Xiao Datong must have done it, although the crime of losing military food alone is enough for the officials of the official warehouse to be dismissed and investigated, but this is not enough, this kind of moth should be killed!" ”

Xiang Mu nodded, and then said: "After determining that there is a problem with this grain store and finding physical evidence, we will follow the vine, first tied up a guard in the grain warehouse, and even coaxed and frightened, he said that these grains and grass were indeed transported by the people of the state capital, and this is not the first time, this batch of grain is almost 3,000 stones, and then we rejected his description and found a master book in the official warehouse, he should be an insider, this guy can't startle the snake now, I let the two guards follow him, and if there is something wrong, he will be arrested." , and the eight taels of gold, I also sent someone to keep an eye on it, fortunately you sent me a few guards, otherwise I would really not be able to keep an eye on it. ”

After saying so much, Xiang Mu's mouth was dry, and he picked up the teapot on the table without saying a word and drank it all.

Xuanyuan Banmeng paced slowly in the barracks, carefully analyzing the clues he currently had, the physical evidence has been obtained, it can be determined that the military rations have indeed been deducted a lot, and the most important human evidence should be three, the first one is the eight taels of gold, since he dares to eat the military rations, it means that he has a way, otherwise no one in the entire Beijiao Prefecture should dare to make this transaction. The second is the master book, there must be an accurate count of the military rations collected, he should know best, and the third is the owner of the beast skin shop, as long as he controls these three people, then it is ironclad evidence.

Xiang Mu is indeed bold and careful, the clues found are very important, the goal is clear, and he points directly to Sima in Bei Pass Prefecture, I have to say that Xiang Mu is really a talent.

Thinking of this, Xuanyuan slapped the table in half a dream, and immediately ordered: "Since it has been ascertained, then we will close the net as soon as possible, and we must not give them time to destroy the certificate refusal, you go to Bailiyun, and then take fifty soldiers to disguise themselves, and go to the state capital in the starry night, be sure to keep an eye on these three people and the state Sima, and there must be no accidents." I immediately went to General Zhuo to report the situation, and reported the matter to the Governor of Bei Pass Prefecture and Lord Assassin Shi, once the people from the North Pass Prefecture arrived, regardless of 37 and 21, you will arrest the three of them first. ”

Xiang Mu nodded, the stool was not hot, and he ran out of the barracks again.

Xuanyuan Banmeng looked at Xiang Mu, who left without saying a word, and nodded with satisfaction, he was indeed a usable person, without the delicate spirit of other scholars, and then he also went out of the camp to report the situation to Zhuo Sheng.

Xuanyuan half-dreamed standing in Zhuo Sheng's study, looking at Zhuo Sheng, who was trembling with anger, walking around the study with the cloth bag in his hand.

The desk next to it had been slapped by Zhuo Sheng just now, and the books and letters were scattered all over the ground.

"The dignified members of the four grades of the imperial court, who do not seek the welfare of the people, but are only dedicated to their own selfish interests, and even dare to exchange military rations for brute fur during the war! For personal gain! If these moths are not removed, it is not enough to make the people angry! If you don't kill these people, I swear not to be a person! Zhuo Sheng roared angrily, if it weren't for the fact that Sima of the Northern Pass Prefecture had withheld military rations, the Fuhu Army would not have gone to the point where the military camp almost mutinied, and it almost caused a catastrophe.

"General, this matter should be reported to the Bei Pass Prefecture as soon as possible, and a cadre of people will be arrested immediately, and all the family granaries will be confiscated and confiscated for the army, so that the current predicament of the Tiger Pass can be temporarily alleviated." Xuanyuan half-dreamed on the side and reminded that Zhuo Sheng had such a big fire, and now Sima of that state would have to die if he didn't die.

Zhuo Sheng nodded, and with a wave of his big hand, he beckoned a personal guard to report to the Bei Pass Prefecture Mansion, and at the same time told Xuanyuan Banmeng to let the people in the state city cooperate well to arrest a few people.

This night, the first heavy snow since the beginning of winter fell in the whole Beiai Prefecture, first a small fluff, gently fluttering, and then falling bigger and bigger, after a while, there was only a piece of white left between heaven and earth, when I really saw that the mountain was as green as green, and the world was as white as silk in the blink of an eye.

It is said that Ruixue is a good year, but this year, the people of Beijiao Prefecture are afraid that they are not in a good mood for the New Year.

As soon as this news arrived in the Beiai Prefecture capital, the high-level was shaken, and this was the largest case of embezzlement of military rations in Beiai Prefecture in recent years, and it happened during the war.

In order to prevent someone from leaking the news, the general of Bei Pass Prefecture ordered Hu Qianqiu to personally command 500 Xuefu Tu to go first, arrest Sima Xiao Datong of the state, and then set off to arrest a few first offenders! The fact that the two chief officials of Bei Pass Prefecture came out together, one article and one military, can be seen to have a bad impact on this case.

Kong Ci, the governor of Bei Kou Prefecture, scolded his mother even more angrily, claiming that no matter who was involved in this military ration case, he would be severely punished!
