027 Burning grain and grass


The night before the storm comes is always extraordinarily dark.

Xu Lin is sitting in his wheelchair, looking at the sky, thinking of Mu Qianhua's words two days ago.

It has been sunny continuously.

If that person wants to take action, it will be tonight.

"Sir, you have now learned that two generals teamed up with several people to sell food and grass.

What should you do according to your opinion?"

Shui Heng looked at the evidence collected in his hands over the past few days.

According to the evidence, what they have done over the years is not just Selling military rations and even selling official positions is really outrageous.

"Those officials who were trafficked will be punished one by one.

As for the case of military rations, that's it."

Xu Lin replied after a moment of silence.

Although this move violated his previous standards of conduct, it is indeed not appropriate to involve too much in this matter. , the trouble became known to the world.

"But" "But the money for selling military rations is now in your Beijing Marquis Mansion.

You hired me with a dowry gift of one hundred and twenty, and there are countless jewels and jades.

Didn't you ever consider the origin of these things back then?

Your new successor as Beijing Marquis How many people are eyeing the position, if If this matter is brought before His Majesty, it will inevitably lead to the confiscation of the family and the destruction of the clan.

The most important thing is that the morale of the northern army is unstable.

I am afraid that the Shui family will also be responsible for the destruction of the nine clans.

"Perhaps the turmoil outside affected Xu Lin's mood. , so my thoughts were expressed openly.

"Yes, selling military rations affects the foundation of the country.

Everyone in the Beijing Houfu is to blame.

For the current plan, we can only follow Mr.'

s suggestion."

Shui Heng took a few steps back and sat on a chair.

"Although my proposal can be concealed for a while, it cannot be concealed forever."

Xu Lin looked into the distance and said, many people knew about this matter, but no one dealt with it.

Shui Heng and Xu Lin fell silent at the same time.

"It's on fire, it's on fire."

After hearing the sound, the two people immediately left the camp.

The fire surrounded the granary.

With the addition of wine and kerosene to help the fire, the granary was quickly surrounded by fire, making it difficult to get close.

The merchant soldiers brought water and forced it, but the fire burned the sky.

How could it be so easy to extinguish the glowing red light?

"Sir, we have done Bei Minglian a favor.

Bei Minglian must have not expected the fire to burn so much."

We cannot say that everything is reduced to ashes.

"He really didn't expect anyone else to take action, but I think Beiminglian was counting on the sky.

The air is dry, and it looks like it's going to rain heavily.

Let's evacuate quickly."

The first ten people were lurking in the sky.

In the mountains and forests, Mu Qianhua still felt strange Strange, it felt like Beiminglian sent too few people.

At this moment, it seemed that Beiminglian had given all its hopes to God.

However, she was more curious about which capable person around Beiminglian had knowledge about the celestial phenomena.

Observation is in no way inferior to the detection equipment of previous lives.

"Yes."

Xin Yue nodded immediately.

"How is the situation with the military rations?"

An hour later, heavy rain came and the fire gradually extinguished.

Shui Heng asked his subordinates in the camp.

"Master Marquis, all the military rations were burned in the fire.

Due to weather problems, the food room has taken out seven days of food and grass in advance.

Now the food and grass are only enough for the entire battalion's soldiers for seven days."

"Okay, you can go down."

This fire came out of nowhere, and then I thought to myself, but my eyes were fixed on Xu Lin.

From the beginning to the end, Xu Lin was strategizing.

If he said that he had no knowledge of this matter, Shui Heng didn't believe it, but Shui Heng also breathed a sigh of relief.

The granary was already empty, and the fire was a very good excuse to buy military rations openly.

"Yes, I am resigning."

"The Marquis seems to have made a wrong calculation.

The enemy army has invaded the camp.

It seems that this is not the time when the Marquis should be happy."

Hiding this matter can temporarily prevent the incident from causing panic, but Xu Lin is a little bit concerned about Shui Heng's abacus. disappointment.

"Sir's intention" "This fire has indeed eliminated the Marquis's worries, but the Marquis actually allowed the enemy troops to invade the camp while he was in the camp.

I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Marquis to explain this to His Majesty.

The Marquis is now in power, and the Marquis feels that Your Majesty Won't they send people to the northern border to conduct overt and covert inspections?

What was burned was empty.

Although a lot of evidence of crime will be destroyed after the heavy rain, there is still a difference between the ashes of vegetation and food.

Moreover, the Marquis cannot stop everyone in the military camp from talking.

"Mu Qianhua means that this loss is still the same.

The Marquis of Beijing took all the responsibility, and his ideas coincided with Mu Qianhua's.

"Sir, what do you think I should do?"

Shui Heng never thought about the serious consequences of this matter.

"Since the silver taels are all in the hands of the Marquis, the Marquis might as well buy grain and grass privately to close this gap.

Although this matter is Shuirong's fault, the Marquis has blocked the hole with the silver taels obtained by Shuirong's greed.

Come to think of it, Even if Your Majesty knows it and will not pursue it further.

As for the burning of the grain and grass, it can be said that the Marquis is using it as a cover-up.

The grain stored in the granary is only enough for the soldiers to eat for half a month, and the rest of the grain and grass is placed elsewhere," Xu Lin suggested.

"Sir, what you said is reasonable.

But looking at the many merchants in the world, I am afraid that it is difficult for anyone to come up with so much food and grass."

Shui Heng said with a slight worry.

He thought that the fire solved the predicament of Beijing Hou Mansion, but he did not expect that a fire would But it turned into a dilemma for the North.

"I had an acquaintance with the owner of Tianxia Granary not long ago.

But with such a large quantity, I'm afraid the other party will raise the price.

What does Mr.

Hou want?"

"Of course Tianxia Granary has good reviews in the hearts of the people, but its power is far inferior to that of Hanhai Villa.

Why should we abandon the near and seek the distance?"

Shui Heng hesitated.

Perhaps because it was Xu Lin who suggested it, Shui Heng was a little wary of Tianxia Granary, but he liked Hanhai even more.

In the name of the villa.

"It depends on what the Marquis means.

It's just that Hanhai Villa is located at the junction of Nanchu and Tiansheng, and its position is unclear.

Please be more careful when buying it."

Although Xu Lin couldn't see clearly the current position of Hanhai Villa , but according to the news, Mu Yunxuan has left Hanhai Villa and is now managing Yuecheng.

Since Shui Heng refuses to listen, let him learn a lesson.

"The owner behind Tianxia Granary is too mysterious and far less upright than Hanhai Villa."

Shui Heng explained that he trusts the man who is famous for his financial resources more than Tianxia Granary.

Trust Hanhai Villa, which is famous for its financial resources.

Xu Lin didn't say anything more.

Seeing that the rain was getting lighter, he ordered Xiaozhu to push him back to the tent.

"It seems that you failed."

After Xu Lin returned to the camp, a man in armor, about twenty years old, appeared behind Xu Lin and said.

"Who are you?"

Xu Lin looked at the person who came.

Judging from his temperament, he should have been angry in the military camp all year round, but he also had a rare restraint.

It seemed that even in the military camp, Mu Qianhua could get accurate information at any time. news.

"Sir, just call me Xiao Wu.

I obey my mistress's orders and follow your instructions."

Xiao Wu said with cupped hands.

After leaving Prince Zhan's Mansion, Xiao Wu, Uncle Zhou and others were arranged by Mu Qianhua in various military camps of Tiansheng. , usually rarely contacted him, but last night he received a message from Mu Qianhua, asking him to come to Xu Lin after the rain.

"You came just in time.

Shui Heng wants to buy food from Hanhai Villa.

I'm afraid that the other party will tamper with the food.

Can you please pay more attention to this matter."

Xu Lin was worried that the army did not know how to operate, but Xiao Wu came to his door.

Well, it seems that Mu Qianhua has long known that Shui Heng pays more attention to Hanhai Villa than to the Granary of the World.

"Please rest assured, sir, about this matter.

I just hope that sir can stop Shui Heng from purchasing too much at once, otherwise he, the Marquis, will be afraid of the northwest wind."

Xiao Wu said immediately, and he did not care about the matter at Hanhai Villa.

Heard of it.

"Can you elaborate on it?"

Xu Lin knew little about Hanhai Villa, so he asked.

"I heard that the mistress went to Nanchu.

Uncle Zhou said that Mu Yunhao once sent the mistress to the capital of Nanchu.

Mu Yunhao has a very good relationship with Chu Xiang.

I am afraid that he has innumerable concerns with the Nanchu royal family.

"Although I don't know the details, since Mu Zhennan handed over Hanhai Villa to Mu Yunhao, the position of Hanhai Villa is no longer neutral."

Xiao Wu did not hide anything and told everything he knew.

"Leave this matter to me.

Shui Heng has just ascended to a high position, so he needs to be taught a lesson before he learns well."

Xu Lin said with a slightly raised corner of his mouth.

Although Shui Heng would ask for his opinion now, he still did not fully trust him after all.

Since Shui Heng didn't trust him, there was no need for him to stop Shui Heng from spending money to teach him a lesson.

"In this case, Mr.

Lao will be here."

"If necessary, how can I find you."

There are so many people in the army that it is very difficult to find a soldier wearing armor.

"If sir needs to see me, just hang a lantern outside the account and I will come to see you then."

"good."

After Xiao Wu left, Xu Lin showed a smile.

Judging from Xiao Wu's intelligence, he was indeed a general.

Mu Qianhua asked Xiao Wu to meet him, not only because he needed someone, but also to help him improve Xiao Wu.

Regarding Wu's status in the army, it turned out that she had arranged all the chess pieces a long time ago.

Although she found it a bit boring, she had to admit that Mu Qianhua's move had helped him a lot.

In the Villa, Mu Qianhua left for two days.

In two days, Leng Ling came to visit once.

Farewell Chuqing disguised herself as Mu Qianhua and dismissed him with a few words.

The injured soldiers in the village had recovered, but Mu Qianhua left.

Chu Qing had not returned after two days, which made Chu Qing a little worried and stayed awake for a long time.

Until early in the morning, several figures entered the village and immediately attracted Chu Qing's attention.

After seeing clearly, Chu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Son."

"These two days are going to be a big event, right?"

Mu Qianhua immediately looked at Chu Qing and asked.

"No, Leng Ling came here yesterday.

According to his wishes, I hope the young master will go back as soon as possible.

Other than that, nothing else happened."

Chu Qingzhao reported.

"Prepare toiletries for me and get some rest early.

Let's go to the next destination early tomorrow morning."

Mu Qianhua immediately ordered.

Since Leng Ling wanted her to leave, she had been in the North for some time, so it was time to leave. .

"Yes."

Chu Qing responded immediately.

In Yu City, it has been almost half a month since Mu Qianhua left.

Although he received news from Mu Qianhua every day, Mu Dongchen still did not dare to talk to Shangguan Yao about Mu Qianhua for fear of exposing his secret.

"Dongchen, you said Qianqian is praying for the country and fasting every day.

She is not in good health to begin with.

It seems that there are still more than half a month left.

Is it possible?"

Shangguan Yao couldn't bear to continue, for fear of Mu Qian's painting.

Being treated badly.

"Don't worry, Qianqian doesn't like meat in the first place.

She'll be back in more than half a month.

It won't be a problem."

Mu Dongchen held Shangguan Yao in his arms and said.

When Mu Qianhua left, he said that he would be gone for two months at most.

He had had an excuse for more than half a month.

After all, it was well known to the world that the Crown Princess prayed for the country.

After that, he had to think of other reasons.

"Dongchen, are you hiding something from me?

Ever since Qianqian went to pray for the country, you have become weird."

Shangguan Yao had doubts in his heart.

Although he never said it out loud, today he finally couldn't help but ask. come out.

"Where are you talking about?

Although Mr.

Bai comes to check your pulse every other day, I am still a little worried."

Mu Dongchen said with a slight worry.

He was not dissatisfied with Mr.

Bai's medical skills.

On the contrary, he admired him very much.

It's just that the woman gave birth. , narrowly escaped death.

According to the news, the northern border was not peaceful.

He was even more worried that Mu Qianhua would be too late to come back in two months.

He felt more at ease when Shangguan Yao gave birth and had Mu Qianhua by his side.

"Lao Bai is Qian Qian's master.

If he hears these words, it will have nothing to do with me."

Shangguan Yao raised his head and looked at Mu Dongchen and said, Lao Bai is a bit stubborn but has very powerful medical skills.

Shangguan Yao Understand, if she wasn't Mu Qianhua's mother, and Mu Qianhua was Bai Lao's apprentice, Bai Lao wouldn't even see her.

"lady" Early the next morning, when Beiminglian was happy about burning Tiansheng's food and grass, a soldier hurriedly walked into the camp.

"What's the matter?"

Bei Minglian saw the person coming in a hurry and the smell of sweat coming from her body.

She couldn't help but frowned and asked.

"Your Highness, the granary is empty," the two said while panting.

"What are you talking about?

Take me to see it quickly," Bei Minglian said in disbelief.

He was just happy about burning the Heavenly Saint's grain and grass, but he didn't expect to hear the news suddenly.

He couldn't believe it.

Bei Minglian hurriedly found the granary and ordered someone to open it.

The seemingly slow granary was empty from the bottom.

The whereabouts of the granary were unknown, which made Bei Minglian full of anger.

He obviously attracted people's attention.

The granary was separated by wooden boards and the bottom was completely empty.

No strangers came in from the army.

Could it be that the grain and grass were stolen?

It was a major matter of the country.

People could come and go freely in the military camp, except Beiming.

Yu, Bei Minglian can never think of anyone else
