On the second day, petty officers at all levels came together, and many of them exchanged eyebrows at each other, ready to attack Lu Qi.

And Lu Qi had already dressed up neatly, sat in the camp tent, and issued her first general order: "Come on, let me check all the soldiers in the camp, what they were doing last night, if anyone can't say anything, take it immediately!" ”

"What?" Everyone was stunned.

Lu Qi explained: "Do the soldiers know that there were thieves in the general's mansion last night? ”

"For the matter of catching thieves, you should find the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion, right?" Hong Du Si didn't care.

Lu Qi snorted coldly: "Report to Shuntian Mansion? What if the thief came from the right outpost? ”

Everyone looked at each other, and no one expected that someone under his command would dare to steal into the general's mansion so unthinkable!

Besides, Lu Qi just received the mansion yesterday, and there was nothing in it except tables, chairs and benches, what could he steal?

"General Lu, please forgive me for taking the liberty of asking." One of the commanders came out and said, "How are you sure that the thief is the soldier in my right outpost camp?" ”

Lu Qi had already guessed this question, and took out a crumpled piece of paper from his arms: "Because this person is so bold, he even left a letter on the pillar!" Cheng Cheng Mountain, read! ”

Cheng Yanshan, who had been promoted to Lu Qi's personal soldier, took the paper and read it aloud: "What is written in the letter is: Brothers can't eat enough, I will accept the two hundred taels of silver to eat meat, thank you!" ”

"Listen!" Lu Qi slapped the table bitterly: "If this is spread out, what will others think of our right sentry camp?"

After receiving so much money and food every month, the soldiers still can't eat enough and are forced to be thieves! Can this get out? ”

The petty officers looked at each other and did not dare to squeak.

"I know that you will definitely not do anything about theft, but I can't guarantee that it was not done by your subordinates, in order to avoid suspicion, I will stand honestly in the tent, and I will send my subordinates to clear your suspicion!"

Lu Qi said, nodding to Cen Qun and the others behind him.

The sound of assembly resounded in the camp, and the five thousand soldiers of the right outpost battalion, whether guns, artillerymen or cavalry, were all called out to assemble in formation, and Cen Qun took his brocade guards to ask one by one in the formation.

Hong Dusi stood under the tent, originally in the mood of watching jokes, but his heart jumped when he looked at it, and secretly said badly: "He is checking the roster?" ”

Yes, one of the purposes of Lu Qi's move is to check whether the roster corresponds to the personnel.

When Kou was in trouble, Zheng Duzhi, Fu Guo and others ate empty salaries, which left a deep impression on Lu Qi, first of all, she had to check whether there was a similar incident in the right outpost camp.

The petty officers below squeezed their eyebrows at each other, promoted a bird, and asked stubbornly:

"General Lu, for the sake of only two hundred taels, why do you have to make such a big move? What if the thief was only borrowing the name of the right outpost camp, wouldn't it damage the face of the general? I don't think it's necessary. ”

Lu Qi snorted coldly:

"That's why it's so aggressive! Think about it, whether the thief is from my battalion or not, the reputation of our right outpost camp has been ruined by him!

Ben will thoroughly investigate his subordinates, just to show it to the outside world to show his innocence! We are all upright men and gentlemen, so why should we be afraid of investigation? You say yes, right? ”

Cen Qun hurriedly came in with the roster in his arms, and whispered a few words in his ear, Lu Qi smiled meaningfully when he heard it: "Oh? Are all the soldiers in the right outpost already here? ”

There was silence in the tent for a while, Lu Qi simply opened the school booklet and asked by name: "Qin Dusi, are the soldiers under your command already outside?" ”

"Yes, it's all here." One member of the team.

"Wang Deputy Dusi?"

"The lowly subordinates are all outside."

“……”

Hong Dusi's heart was beating violently, but he didn't expect Lu Qi to grab the handle as soon as he came up, and now even the Shenji Battalion, one of the three major battalions of the Beijing Division, has a situation of eating empty salaries.

In particular, he and Zhao Yongqi had long since put the former general of the right outpost battalion in the air and enjoyed the benefits for many years. Otherwise, the low-level military attache of the Hongdu Division would not be able to raise a famous horse worth a thousand gold like the Yunhuo Qilin.

"Are all the men and men of my right sentry battalion on the field?" Lu Qi closed the roster: "This is not right." ”

Hong Dusi took a step forward: "General Lu! You're not bored, are you? ”

This Hong Du Si finally couldn't help it.

Lu Qi turned his head slightly, glanced at Cheng Yanshan standing behind him, and then raised his eyebrows: "What does Hong Dusi mean by this?" ”

Cheng Yanshan immediately understood what Lu Qi meant, and pressed his hand on the handle of the saber on his waist.

"General Lu, you are a literati, I don't know the hidden situation in our military camp, I will tell you in detail about it when I go back. It's just ...... now"

Hong Dusi's tone softened, and he originally wanted to put Lu Qi in the air, but he didn't expect to kick it on the iron plate for a while, and sure enough, the literati are insidious!

Lu Qi chuckled: "How about turning around?" And now? ”

"The water is clear and there are no fish, you should understand this truth."

As soon as these words came out, the low-level officers under the tent turned their eyes away, Lu Qi looked around, and had a figure in his heart: "Oh? It seems that investigating a thief case has also involved other cases. ”

After thinking about it, Lu Qi beckoned to Cen Qun: "Go, take the account book of the salary payment in the camp!" ”

The person who is usually responsible for the procurement and payment of money in the camp is Hongdusi, and the account books are all in his barracks.

Now Hong Dusi is really anxious: "You dare surnamed Lu!" ”

"Yo! What's wrong with Hondusi? Cook, did you put guns and poison in Hong Dusi's breakfast? Lu Qipi said with a smile:

"I see that the soldiers can't eat enough, and I can't bear it! The monthly food and salary are allocated in sufficient amounts, but I don't know how to eat, but it is not enough? But you have to ask the court for more, how can you fight when you are hungry? ”

Saying that, Lu Qi took out Zhao Yongqi's seal: "General Zhao is sick, and he has entrusted the command to me yesterday, so I won't bother him about these affairs."

From now on, Ben will take over all the affairs of the camp! Grain, grass and silver are particularly important, there is no general seal, no matter who comes to withdraw it, it will not be given without authorization, and the violator will be served by military law! ”

Cen Qun had already led a group of tiger-wolf-like brocade guards to raid the barracks of Hongdusi.

Searches, house raids, and lynchings were all the unique skills of the Jinyi guard, who not only scraped the inside and outside of the barracks, but also lifted the curtains and carpets, and wherever the paper could be hidden, they could not escape their search.

After a while, Cen Qun took two large boxes of ledgers: "My lord, the ledgers have been searched." ”

Hong Dusi gritted his teeth: "We have so many soldiers on the right post, and there are many horses and livestock, how much grain does it cost to eat horses and chew every day?" I can't figure it out at all. ”

"I haven't paid attention to it, why did Hong Dusi sing about it?" Lu Qi happily put away the ribbon and other things: "Move everything to my general's mansion!" ”

……

When he returned to the General's Mansion, two large boxes of ledgers were spread out on the table one by one, and Lu Qi began to have a headache.

These ledgers were written by Hong Dusi, who also served as the procurement officer.

casually turned the page, and it was vaguely written: "In a certain year and month, Zhao Yongqi held two tables of banquets and spent more than 400 taels of silver", neither remembering the date clearly, nor writing who was invited to the banquet, and he didn't even know how much money he spent.

How do you find out if there's a problem?

was having a headache, but saw Cen Qun take out a thin account book from the box and hand it to Lu Qi:

"My lord, I have carefully searched the barracks of Hongdusi. All the other ledgers were placed on the shelves, but this one was sewn under the carpet. ”

Lu Qi took a look, and there were many accounts in dense fly-headed letters, which were written very trivially, and each date was far apart, which was inconspicuous at first glance.

But Lu Qi suddenly became vigilant.

If this is not very important information, why hide it so deeply?

And in the camp over there, Zhao Yongqi was so angry that he scolded his mother: "Abominable Lu Yun'er! ”

Turning his head and seeing Hong Dusi standing on the side, Zhao Yongqi kicked him angrily: "You just watched Lu Yun'er and copied the account book?" ”

"General Zhao, the generals and colonels were all there at that time, and he held the seals of the two generals, and he had full control of the military affairs in the battalion, how could I openly confront him?" Hong Dusi was kicked and grinned.

After venting for a while, Zhao Yongqi calmed down.

"It's Jinyi Wei Fanzi who went to copy, and his nose is smarter than a dog, although we remember everything deeply, and we will be found if we don't keep it even." Zhao Yongqi narrowed his eyes.

"If that thing is discovered, it's a sin to lose your head!"

The two glanced at each other, and their eyes flashed with a chilling murderous intent: "Just don't do it and ...... him"
