Chapter 442: Broken Reputation
While several people were talking, Yun Dong's voice suddenly came from outside the tent: "General Yu, there is news from Fengming City, it is about military rations and salaries. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
When Zhao Fengwu heard this, his thick eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Yun Guard, please come in and speak." ā
Yun Dong lifted the curtain and entered, his face was very ugly, he walked in front of Zhao Fengwu, bowed down, and said: "General, early this morning, Liu Jinfeng escorted military rations and salaries into Fengming City. The defender of the city happened to be General Ouyang, and General Ouyang found that the amount of military rations and salaries was inconsistent with the information we had found before, so he became suspicious. We had already received definite information that only half of the military rations and salaries were paid, but the number of people entering the city this morning suddenly doubled, which coincided with the amount approved by the imperial court. ā
Lin Wan frowned and asked, "Is General Ouyang that Uncle Yun said Sister Yufei?"
Yun Dong nodded and continued: "It's Yu Fei's girl. She suspected that Liu Jinfeng was cheating, so she asked to open the box for inspection. But Liu Jinfeng took out the holy decree and said that he would report to the imperial court to treat Yufei for the crime of resisting the decree. During the dispute between the two, Yu Fei picked up a box of military pay with a sword, and found that the box was full of stones. Later, Yu Fei ordered people to open all the boxes, and without exception, they were all stones. ā
Lin Wan's eyes widened, and he exclaimed in disbelief: "It's all stones, what about the military rations?"
Yun Dong shook his head and sighed, "Those sacks containing military rations are full of weeds, and there is not a single grain of grain. ā
Zhao Fengwu's eyes were cold, and he asked in a deep voice, "What about Liu Jinfeng?"
Yun Dong frowned and said, "He said that he was framed, and said that he asked the Holy Lord to send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly." Yu Fei wanted to bring them all back to the yamen in public, but it happened that Zhou Tianhong and Lan Ziyue passed by there, and after asking the reason, they said that there was something strange about the matter, and they would discuss it with Xing Taishou before dealing with it, so Yu Fei went to the Taishou Mansion with them, and Xing Taishou imprisoned Liu Jinfeng and Yu Fei for the sake of fairness. ā
Lin Wan was shocked, stood up, and asked anxiously, "Sister Yufei is also locked up?"
Yun Dong was also full of anger, and said hatefully: "Liu Jinfeng said that Yu Fei insisted that there was a problem with military pay and military rations without real evidence, and he must have colluded with the people who stole military salaries and rations, and colluded to frame him. Zhou Tianhong also said that Liu Jinfeng was reasonable, and Xing Taishou ordered Yu Fei to be detained. ā
Lin Wan pondered for a moment, frowned, and said, "Zhou Tianhong and Lan Ziyue suddenly disappeared a few days ago, and it turned out that they quietly went outside Fengming City to secretly make trouble with military salaries and rations. ā
Zhao Fengwu stared at the tiger and said sharply: "I didn't expect that Zhou Tianhong would be so ruthless, hiding tens of millions of taels of military salaries and 500,000 troops for three months' grain and grass. The appetite is so big and the intentions are vicious, it's really chilling. ā
Lin Wan smiled coldly and said lightly: "If he Zhou Tianhong dares to do it, I will dare to shake it out for him." Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely let Zhou Tianhong eat the salary, grain and grass of the Pingnan army, and spit it out for me, and I will watch him fall into disrepute. ā
Zhao Fengwu frowned and said worriedly: "Wan'er, Zhou Tianhong is not so easy to deal with, if you are not completely sure, you can't mess around." After a pause, he asked, "What exactly are you going to do?"
Lin Wanwan smiled and said, "Uncle, Xing Taishou is the cousin of the second uncle and Xing Han's father. I had met Xing Han when I was in the capital before, and I thought he could help. ā
Zhao Fengwu nodded, pondered for a moment, and slowly spoke: "Although Xing Taishou is your second uncle's cousin, he has no contact with the Zhao family, and he is also very tactful. has Zhou Tianhong here, but I'm afraid that he won't care about the relationship between his in-laws. However, Xing Han and your cousin Zhao Jing'er in his hometown in Shandong are childhood sweethearts, and they are in love. It's just that your second uncle and Xing Taishou are unwilling to marry again, and they have always disapproved of this marriage. ā
Lin Wan's eyes lit up, and he stroked his palm and smiled: "Wouldn't that be better, with more cousins, I will be more sure." Maybe the problem of military pay and military rations was solved, and by the way, my cousin's marriage was also finalized. ā
Zhao Fengwu smiled helplessly and said, "Wan'er, don't come nonsense." Your second uncle seems to be easy to talk to, but in fact he is extremely stubborn, and you may not be able to move him. ā
Lin Wan smiled and said, "Uncle don't worry, Wan'er knows it in her heart and won't come nonsense." Wan'er also knows that marriage is determined and cannot be forced. ā
Zhao Fengwu still has a little understanding of Lin Wan's temperament, and knows that although she says this, she doesn't necessarily think so in her heart. But he also had nothing to do with her, so he had to let her toss.
Xing Han, this child, has a good literary and good-looking appearance, if it is not from the Xing family, it can indeed be regarded as a good match for Zhao Jing'er. Zhao Fengwu did not object to this marriage, so he knew that Lin Wan intended to match, and he no longer stopped it.
Several people discussed the matter of Fengming City again, and finally decided that Changfeng, Gale Wind, Hidden Soul, Qingtong, Bing'er and Lin Wan and a group of six people would set off tonight and rush to Fengming City.
And Zhou Tianqi also had to rush back to the south gate overnight, personally guard it, and attack the flood dome tonight, and was caught off guard.
At noon, Lin Wan and Zhou Tianqi accompanied Zhao Fengwu to have a lunch together, and then left Zhao Fengwu's general camp together.
On the way back to the camp, Zhou Tianqi and Lin Wan walked side by side, but they didn't say anything all the way. Both of them were immersed in the sadness of parting, and they only felt that they could not say a thousand words.
When I returned to my camp, I saw that Gale, Hidden Soul, and Qingtong were all there, and Qingtong even packed his luggage. Knowing that they had all gotten the news, Lin Wan didn't say anything more, and directly instructed Gale Wind: "Gale Wind, you go and prepare the horses, and by the way, find out the news of Xing Han." ā
"Yes, miss. "The gale led the way.
Lin Wan said to the hidden soul again: "Hidden soul, you go to the South City Gate to find Changfeng, and he will enter the South City with us tonight." ā
"Yes, miss. The hidden soul bowed down to receive the order, and in a flash he left the camp.
Qingtong saw that Lin Wan and Zhou Tianqi were in a bad mood, especially since Zhou Tianqi entered the camp, he didn't say a word, nor did he look at anyone, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and he also felt sad that the pair of little lovers who had just met were about to face separation again. He said in a low voice: "Miss, I'll go to the barracks to prepare some dry food so that I can take it to eat on the road." ā
Lin Wan nodded and said listlessly: "Well, you can go." ā
Qingtong turned around and walked out of the tent, leaving only Lin Wan and Zhou Tianqi in the tent, sitting quietly, relatively speechless.
Lin Wan turned his head to look at Zhou Tianqi, only to see that he was also looking at himself. The slightly frowning brows, the stubborn eyes, the pursed lips, the resolute chin, and the chest that rose and fell violently because of the grievances all made Lin Wan's heart ache.
