Chapter Seventy-Three: Embezzlement, Collusion (Seeking Reading, Asking for Votes)
Afternoon.
The commanders of the Seven Great Divisions of Tianzhou were all present.
Qin Wei summoned them in the lobby of the Dusi Yamen, and of course Li Zhengkun and other generals of the Dusi Yamen were indispensable.
Sitting on the main seat, Qin Wei lowered his head to the document in his hand.
The officials below lowered their eyebrows and did not dare to say more.
The commanders of the Seven Great Divisions all looked at each other, and they looked at Li Zhengkun from time to time.
Until now they haven't figured out what this is all about.
They only received Li Zhengkun's order to report to the Dusi Yamen, but after arriving at the Dusi Yamen, they were arranged separately in the wings, and they were not released until now.
Song Yuanbo also dealt with Qin Wei, but the others didn't even know Qin Wei.
"Lord Song, what's going on?"
A chubby middle-aged man stood beside Song Yuanbo and asked in a low voice.
This chubby man is Wang Lie, the commander of the Jiujiang Health Division.
Song Yuanbo lowered his head and said, "Don't ask more, just wait!" ”
Where did he know what was going on.
He only knew now that the Zhenwu Division seemed to have taken over the Dusi Yamen, but he was also full of confusion about the specific situation.
Qin Wei looked at it for a long time before raising his head.
"The few commanders of the guards here probably don't know this king, so this king will introduce himself."
"This king is the commander of the Zhenwu Division, and he was ordered to come to Tianzhou to form the Zhenwu Division!"
Qin Wei said slowly, and his elegant voice spread throughout the hall.
Although several commanders of the Guards had speculated for a long time, they had finally been confirmed.
Qin Wei continued: "The reason why this king summoned everyone to come to the Dusi Yamen is because this king was attacked in Tianzhou City three days ago. ”
"The Assassins are from the Bloody Cloak Building, but some of them use the military's standard crossbow arrows."
As soon as these words came out, several commanders of the guard suddenly struck a spirit.
In addition to the capital division yamen, only the seven Davids yamen have the standard crossbow arrows in Tianzhou.
As for whether it will be shipped from other states, that is also impossible.
Because of the different states, the ordnance used by the town defenders is different.
Under normal circumstances, the ordnance used by the defenders of each state town was manufactured, stored, and replaced by the Arsenal Division under the Yamen of the Metropolitan Division.
The ordnance of the Seven Great Divisions of Tianzhou is from the Arsenal Division of the Yamen of the Dusi.
And part of the treasury of the Treasury Division is in the yamen of the capital division.
If other ordnance is to be placed outside the Yamen of the Metropolitan Division, a sharp weapon such as a crossbow arrow will definitely remain in the treasury inside the Yamen of the Metropolitan Division until it is distributed.
Therefore, if outsiders want to obtain the standard crossbow arrows in the army, there are only two ways to go.
The first is to buy off the officials of the Arsenal Division and get crossbow arrows from the treasury of the Arsenal Division, and the second is to get crossbow arrows from the yamen of the Seven Great Divisions.
As for other methods, you may be able to get a small number of standard crossbow arrows, but you will definitely not be able to get thousands of crossbow arrows.
Qin Wei's gaze swept over everyone in the hall, and then he raised the document in his hand and said, "This is what the judge has found in the past two days. ”
"What do you have to say?"
Everyone looked at the paperwork in his hand, and cold sweat had broken out on many people's foreheads.
"Don't say that this king is ruthless, now this king will give you a chance, as long as you take the initiative to admit your guilt and explain everything, this king will personally plead with the court for you."
"If you don't want to take the initiative to admit it, then the consequences don't need to be said by this king."
Qin Wei said indifferently.
As soon as his words fell, the atmosphere in the lobby became extremely solemn.
Many people's eyes moved to Li Zhengkun's body.
It's a pity that Li Zhengkun sat on the chair next to him, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was asleep.
Now that this is the case, what else can he say?
Stop Qin Wei!
Let's not talk about whether he can do it, and even if he can, it's too late.
After a while, Qin Wei saw that no one took the initiative to admit it, and said with a smile: "Since you all think that you are fine, then don't blame this king for being unkind." ”
However, as soon as his words fell, a man in the hall fell to his knees.
"Your Highness, the last general is guilty!"
"You are?"
"The last general will be Liu Zhendong, the commander of the patrol battalion." Liu Zhendong wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said.
"What are your sins?" Qin Wei asked.
"The last general is greedy for the salary of the patrol battalion!" Liu Zhendong said in a low voice.
Qin Wei bowed slightly, "Count yourself as acquaintances, stand aside." ”
Liu Zhendong seemed to have opened a Pandora's box, and then one after another people in the lobby confessed.
Most of them were the salaries of the soldiers of the subordinates of the greedy Mo and the treasury silver of the Dusi Yamen.
A small number of them also hit the idea on the Arsenal Division, and they took the arsenal of the Arsenal Division outside to sell.
You must know that the weapons of the Arsenal Division are all made by skilled craftsmen, which may not be as good as the divine weapons in the rivers and lakes, but they are very suitable for low-level warriors.
In the civilian population, a military standard long knife can be sold for hundreds of taels of silver.
Therefore, it is normal for these officials to put their minds on the Arsenal Division.
However, no one admits that they ever sold bows and arrows.
In just a few moments, more than a dozen of the more than 30 officials in the hall took the initiative to admit their guilt.
You must know that the officials who can stand here are all high-level officials of the Dusi Yamen, and those low-level officials of six or seven grades are not qualified to stand here at all.
"Anything else?" Qin Wei's gaze swept over the rest of the people.
There was silence in the hall, and no one confessed their sins.
Qin Wei bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "A few of you, this king has given you three days to make up for the previous sin of greedy ink, and this king can ask the court to exempt you from your guilt." ”
"Thank you, Your Highness is merciful, Your Highness is merciful!" Those officials who admitted their guilt were immediately overjoyed and knelt down to thank Qin Wei one after another.
Qin Wei waved his hand and said, "Get up!" ”
These people who dare to stand up are actually relatively small problems, and those who really have big problems do not dare to stand up, because they know that once they take the initiative to admit their guilt, they have only one way to die.
Therefore, Qin Wei did not plan to deal with these officials, his real target was still those officials who were more involved in the martial arts forces.
He took out another document, which was not from the Imperial Division, but from the Imperial City Division.
Qin Wei shouted: "Liu Kaisheng! ”
A man with a full head of hair in the hall shook his body and responded hoarsely: "The lower official is here." ”
Liu Kaisheng, the commander of the Tianzhou Metropolitan Yamen, is the official second only to Li Zhengkun.
"Your youngest son is in the Luoxia Sect! He is still the personal disciple of the Great Elder of the Luoxia Sect! ”
Qin Wei said with a smile.
The corners of Liu Kaisheng's mouth pulled out an ugly smile, and said: "Xiaguan has a good relationship with the great elder of the Luoxia Sect, so he sent the dog to his door to cultivate, so that after the dog has achieved cultivation, he can serve the court again." ”
Qin Wei smiled and said, "Then you are really generous, you actually gave 100,000 catties of refined iron to Luoxia Sect!" ”
"Well, these 30,000 catties of refined iron actually came from the treasury of the Dusi Yamen, hehe~~"
Liu Kaisheng did not resell the ordnance of the Dusi Yamen, but directly gave the fine iron to the Luoxia Sect, and the amount was as high as 100,000 catties.
Liu Kaisheng knelt on the ground with a puff, "Your Highness, the lower official only did such a stupid thing because he was blinded for a while, and I ask Your Highness to forgive me!" ”
"Please forgive your sins!"
He slammed his head.
Embezzling armaments is a major crime, and embezzling the fine iron of the Modu Si Yamen is also a major crime, and there is not much difference between the two.
But the difference is that one is just for money, while the other is in collusion with the sect's forces.
Qin Wei can tolerate the former, but he will definitely not let the latter go.
Qin Wei didn't bother to pay attention to his crying, and continued to read: "Song Yanshan, Luo Si!" ”
Song Yanshan and Luo Si are the commanders of the Dusi Yamen, and the sects behind the two of them are the Lishan Sword Sect and the Wanfu Temple respectively.
In the entire capital division yamen, the two commanders know the same thing, and the four commanders are involved, and more than half of them are involved with the four major sects.
If these four major sects are united, they can completely override Li Zhengkun.
