Chapter 88 Investigation of Corruption

The experience in Longxi County made Ma Jian certain a fact.

It is absolutely impossible for anyone to give up their own interests without seeing anyone.

For example, now that Li Yan is greedy for grain and straw in the Mo army, it is impossible for him to be willing to take the initiative to spit out the grain and grass. Even if Ma Jian went to confront him, it would be useless, but he would startle him to destroy the evidence in advance so that Ma Jian would have nowhere to find out.

In this regard, Li Yan is very professional.

In history, this dared to tell nonsense in front of the prime minister, and in order to hit Zhuge Liang's prestige, he withheld the grain and grass and forced the prime minister's class. After the prime minister's class, he immediately sent someone to destroy the evidence, trying to create a situation that Zhuge Liang took the initiative to give up his great advantage and came back.

Fortunately, the prime minister had expected it and sent someone to keep the evidence in advance, so that Li Yan had nothing to say and was finally demoted to a concubine.

Li Yan's ability is there, but his desire for power and greed are the same.

It has only been a few months since he took office in Longyou, and Li Yan dared to be greedy for ink and grain. If he is allowed to operate for a few years, he will not be allowed to start a coup d'Γ©tat.

Ma Yan, who was in a hurry to find evidence of Li Yan's greed, suddenly felt that he had caught something, but he didn't care too much.

The most important thing now is to let Li Yan spit out the grain and straw, and then return it to the counties. Otherwise, if the grain storage in the coming year is not enough, Longyou will definitely starve to death.

Of course, there is a high probability that the prime minister will transfer grain from Hanzhong to help Longyou. But then the loss will be doubled, and it will waste the national strength to a certain extent.

In such a small country as Shuhan, how can there be resources to waste, and any unnecessary loss may affect the overall situation.

Ma Tan dragged the sick body all the way out of the house, and met his personal soldiers at the door. When the soldiers saw Ma Tan Neng, they saluted Ma Tan in great surprise.

"General, it's great that you're okay!"

"I don't have time to say anything, hurry up and inform Shu Ji and Meng Guo to come over, and by the way, go and invite General Wang Ping to come." Ma Jian shook his head, patted his soldier's shoulder, and said lightly.

"I have something very important for them to follow me on! If it's late, it is estimated that Longyou will be hungry. ”

Ma Yan's words made the soldiers feel a pang in their hearts, and they hurriedly gave the order.

They are all Longyou people, and the people in their families are in Longyou, but they don't want their families to starve to death.

Soon, Shu Ji and Meng Guo received Ma Yan's order and immediately rushed over. And Wang Ping was commanding the city wall outside the city to repair the city wall, and when he learned of Ma Tan's invitation, he hesitated, and finally arrived.

These are the few subordinate friends of Ma Jian who are now in the army, and Ma Jian of the other departments has nothing to do with it.

"General Ma, your injury has just recovered, why don't you recuperate and run out suddenly?" Wang Ping looked at the occasional blood oozing from Ma Yan's chest, and frowned.

"If you are injured, you need to recuperate, otherwise it is easy for the wound to deteriorate and fall into stubborn diseases!"

"In this situation, how can I have time to recuperate, and if I continue to recuperate, something will happen." Ma Jian sat at the table with a very serious expression, looking at a few humans.

"What's wrong?" Wang Ping looked at Ma Yan's serious expression, and was suddenly shocked.

"Could it be that the Wei army in the direction of Liangzhou sneaked up on Longyou?"

"It's not...... Even I don't know it, I just woke up not long ago. Ma Yan shook his head and said bluntly.

"Look at this, Li Yan transferred grain from Longxi County, is this share normal?"

Wang Ping took the bamboo slip from Ma Yan's hand, looked at it slightly and frowned.

"Something is wrong, you shouldn't need so much grain, right? Could it be that Li Yuanjun plans to hoard grain and grass for emergencies? ”

They are all perennial military people, and they know how much food they need. Li Yan has too much grain and straw in this adjustment, and anyone who knows a little bit can notice that something is wrong.

"I don't know about other counties, but the amount of grain transferred from Longxi County is absolutely wrong. Unless Li Yan planned to fight with only the grain of the two counties, it would be impossible for the demand to be so great. Ma Yan nodded.

Clear-eyed people know that this guess is impossible, because Longxi County is not a grain-producing county at all. The main body of the Longyou Plain is in Guangwei County and Tianshui County, which are grain-producing areas.

Even the remote Longxi County needs so much grain, and it is conceivable how much Li Yan asked for from the grain-producing county.

"Could it be that you have other plans? Just didn't tell us? Meng Guo scratched his head and subconsciously guessed.

"If it is the prime minister, it is still possible, but Li Yan ...... Hehe, I can't trust him. Ma Jian put away the bamboo slips and said in a cold tone.

"I summoned you here to investigate this matter and see what kind of medicine Li Yan is selling in this gourd."

"It's not in order...... Isn't that right? Wang Ping subconsciously wanted to object, but after thinking about Ma Yan's character, he immediately changed his words.

The lord in front of him is not a master who abides by the rules.

"It's not good, but it has to be." Ma Tan replied.

"It's impossible for me to go to Li Yan for instructions, otherwise he will definitely take precautions in advance. That's what he did in Jiangzhou, and I don't make that mistake. ”

"I called you here, just to ask you who is willing to support me and follow me to the logistics camp to check the accounts."

"If he really has any other arrangements, and has a clear conscience, I will immediately commit suicide and apologize. If there's something wrong with me finding out, I can't let him go easily! ”

After Ma Jian said this, it was time for a few people to express their positions.

As Ma Tan's headquarters, Shu Ji directly expressed his support for Ma Tan's decision, and Ma Jian said what he would do.

Meng Guo hesitated slightly, and also expressed his willingness to follow, anyway, Li Yan was not familiar with him.

Only Wang Ping was extremely hesitant, worried about the consequences of doing so. After all, he is a professional soldier, and he is still very resistant to such violations of the rules.

The most important thing is that although he trusts Ma Jian very much, this has already involved factional strife within Shu Han. As a military general, Wang Ping is still very reluctant to get involved in this kind of thing.

"General Youchang, I think it's still ...... like this"

"Even if you don't want to join, I won't force you." Ma Jian said directly, and did not force Wang Ping to mix.

It's not very in line with the rules, so there's no need to involve Wang Ping in troubled waters.

"Shuji Mengguo, gather the men and horses of your headquarters, and take your own soldiers to the logistics camp with me! I want to see if Li Yan still has the courage to make a fire dragon burn warehouse in the barracks! ”

Zhuge Liang was right, Ma Yan, a jealous and hateful character, could not get along with Li Yan.

What's more, Ma Yan, as a descendant of the Jingzhou faction, naturally has no deal with Li Yan, the leader of the Dongzhou faction. Ma Yan may not care too much, but Li Yan will exclude him.

Conflicts cannot be avoided, so they can only be separated from each other in order to maintain stability.

However, Zhuge Liang still didn't calculate, so that Chen Cang's war ended early. As a result, Li Yan took the initiative to run to Chencang and ran into Ma Jian directly.

Conflict is inevitable!

The last watch, the next two days are five watches, Shuzhong has carried his life up, please give the big guys a monthly ticket to reward Shuzhong
