Rong Lian sneered, "Integrity and integrity, if you were integrity and integrity, how could a disaster come now?"

Liu Tingwei said silently, not knowing what Rong Lian knew.

"Tell you the truth. Shangguan Yu and I came here not only to fight against the Huns, but also to investigate the corruption of military pay in the army by the emperor. But we are all competing to see who can find it first."

Rong Lian whispered as he looked at Liu Tingwei.

When Liu Tingwei heard what Rong Lian said, he couldn't believe his ears. The emperor actually sent someone to check military pay? Then why didn't he even hear the slightest sound?

"I have already received the news that Shangguan Yu has found Guo Feng's head and knows the people behind him. He is about to arrest him and torture him. I heard that you are very close to him on weekdays. Do you think Shangguan Yu may let you go?"

When Liu Tingwei heard that Guo Feng had been caught, he felt his mind buzzing.

He had no doubt about Rong Lian's words at all. After all, Guo Feng was actually hidden very deeply and was discovered, let alone himself.

If he is arrested, the crime of corruption will be dismembered and the whole family will be exiled!

Liu Tingwei didn't dare to think about it and knelt down directly, "Please save my life by the general!"

Rong Lian looked at him on the ground and sighed, sighing with a sigh.

"If I had known today, why would you have to be greedy for any money? Why should you embezzle this military pay? The emperor attaches great importance to this matter and ordered a thorough investigation. Anyone who is involved will be executed."

"It was all the time when the officials were confused before. I was deceived by Guo Feng and got on this pirate ship. Please help me this time because of my loyalty to you. I will never forget the general's great kindness."

After Liu Tingwei finished speaking, he kowtowed on the ground. He really didn't want to die.

Rong Lian reached out and helped him up, "If it weren't for your loyalty, I wouldn't have taken such a risk and found a way to save you."

"The general has a way to save me?" Liu Tingwei's eyes suddenly lit up.

Rong Lian looked at his eyes and said seriously.

"You also know that this investigation is happening. We are also competing. Although Shangguan Yu has found Guo Feng, he has limited evidence in his hands. I am afraid he cannot inform the emperor. If you say any useful information, help me to come ahead of him and find out the matter first. If you make contributions at that time, it will be easy to save you like me?"

Liu Tingwei was thinking silently in his mind, and his mind was changing.

If you don’t say anything, you will definitely be unable to escape death with a minion like yourself, but if you say something, you can not only survive, but also sell Rong Lian a favor. What’s wrong with such a thing?

What's more, he also knew that Guo Feng was cautious in his actions. If Shangguan Yu could not find any evidence from him, he would definitely push the matter down on him.

It would rather tell him to let me down than to let him down first!

"Okay, the magistrate will tell the general everything I know. I hope the general will keep his promise and save my life."

Liu Tingwei made up his mind and decided to give out everything he knew, but he still wanted to listen to Rong Lian's promise.

Rong Lian patted his shoulder and laughed.

"That's natural. After the matter is done, it's not a single word for you. Don't call me general in the future. Just call me prince. If you are so loyal, I will recommend you to my father when you go back."

After hearing his words, Liu Tingwei felt even more comforted and told him all about embezzlement of military pay.

The more Rong Lian heard it, the more frightened he became. The more he sent it to Guo Feng through his hands every year, the total amount was more than 100,000 taels, not including Guo Feng’s deduction on the pension. In other words, Liang Zheng could get more than half of the military pay from this military pay every year!

He didn't show his face and listened very seriously, but just asked a question at the end.

"As you say that, you don't have any evidence of communication with them at all? This is a bit difficult."

When Liu Tingwei saw Rong Lian's face showing a look of distress, he frowned, fearing that his affairs would be ruined, so he hurriedly said.

"Report to the prince, although I do not have evidence such as letters, I have done accounts of the money I have passed through over the years. I wonder if this account book is feasible?"

After hearing this, Rong Lian nodded to him quickly, "It's feasible! It's feasible! You can give me this account book quickly, and I can also expel you as soon as possible, so as not to fall into Shangguan Yu's hands. You have also seen him interrogate people. I don't need to talk to you more about how painful it is."

Last time Shangguan Yu interrogated the people who kidnapped Su Muwan, and Liu Tingwei had also seen them. Thinking of those people who were unable to survive in the end, he shivered in broad daylight.

"The minister will find an opportunity to send it to the prince's account in a while, and everything will be done."

After the two of them parted, after Liu Tingwei returned, he quickly sent the account book to Rong Lian's hands and repeatedly begged him to save his life.

Rong Lian also specifically reminded him that if Guo Feng sends someone to him in the past two days, he will tell him not to respond, so as not to cause trouble again.

Liu Tingwei was even more convinced of Rong Lian's words at this time. When he went back to get the account book just now, the more he thought about it, the more shocked he became. No wonder Shangguan Yu could just interrupt their plan to make money every time. It turned out that he had already become suspicious.

At this time, his only hope was Rong Lian, so naturally there was no contact with Guo Feng.

After Rong Lian got the account book, he transferred him to Shangguan Yu.

The counter-disaster plan that Guan Yu came up with last night was to use a small part of facts mixed with lies to scare Liu Tingwei. He naturally believed it without doubt, so he could turn against him and come up with some evidence.

Now the plan has indeed come into effect, even beyond Shangguan Yu's expectations.

His original plan was to have Liu Tingwei's confession, but he didn't expect that he could still produce such evidence.

Now, Rong Lian has already done it, and the rest depends on him.

Protectorate.

Last night, Guo Feng drank a night of stuffy wine and felt very troubled. Looking at the numbers in the account book, he felt very annoyed.

At this time, he suddenly heard the butler's report that Shangguan Yu was coming again.

He was really puzzled. Even if Shangguan Yu hit it off at first sight, he wouldn't use it so often. But in desperation, he still welcomed him to the hall.

When he saw Shangguan Yu this time, Guo Feng suddenly felt that he gave people a very different feeling, but if he had to say it, he couldn't tell what was different.

Guo Feng changed into a smile, "I don't know why the general came here this time?"

"When I was having a drink with the Protector last night, I might have lost my mouth and said something I shouldn't say, and I would forgive the Protector."

Shangguan Yu was very polite to apologize to Guo Feng.

"Where, where, what the general said last night was entirely for the soldiers, and even after drinking, he was talking about these things. His innocent heart really made Guo admire him."

This is not what Guo Feng said to please Shangguan Yu, but his truest thought. Shangguan Yu, a general, had to worry about his own battle and won, but he was really concerned about the soldiers, so he would have a headache because of the soldiers' pensions.

After hearing his words, Shangguan Yu put away the smile at the corner of his mouth and asked very seriously.

"Does the Dupu really admire me? Then why do you say one thing but your subordinates do another?"

Guo Feng frowned, not understanding why Shangguan Yu said such a sentence.

"What does the general mean?"

"I thought the Protector was indeed as you said, a loyal and patriotic official, but now it seems that I misunderstood the people. The Protector dared to reach out for his military pay. I am afraid that the Protector made a lot of money like the pension I mentioned last night. Is he really confident?"

After hearing what he said, Guo Feng's heart trembled suddenly. How could Shangguan Yu know about these things? He had done things clean enough and could not leave any tricks.

Could it be that he is cheating on himself?

Thinking of this, Guo Feng pretended to be puzzled: "Why can't you understand every word of the general? Is there any misunderstanding?"

"Haha, misunderstanding? Guo Dupu see what I am holding in my hand?"

Shangguan Yu sneered and asked back with the account book in his hand.

Seeing Guo Feng’s doubts, Shangguan Yu took the initiative to help him resolve the doubts.

"It seems that Dupu is afraid that he doesn't know. This is the account that Liu Tingwei handed over to Dupu's money every time. In the past few years, he has recorded one by one. Do I need to think of a few of the money for Dupu?"

When Guan Yu said that this was Liu Tingwei's accountkeeping, Guo Feng still couldn't believe that he had betrayed him?

Seeing Guo Feng remained silent, Shangguan Yu sneered coldly and spoke again.

"It seems that Dugu will not cry when he sees the coffin. I will just read the records recorded here for Dugu."

After saying that, Shangguan Yu casually opened a page in the account book and began to recite it out loud.

"On August 16th, on the grounds of the Mid-Autumn Festival welfare of the soldiers in the army, 20,000 taels of silver were deducted, and 18,500 taels of silver were paid to Guo Feng, leaving 1,000 taels of silver, and leaving 500 taels for everyone in the miscellaneous places."

After reading it, he casually turned forward and opened a page, "On the seventh day of the fourth month, he took out 9,700 taels of silver for the soldiers who changed their quilts and spring clothes, and paid 9,700 taels of silver for Guo Feng, leaving 500 taels of herself, leaving 200 taels of gold with the rest of the others."

Just as Shangguan Yu was about to continue reciting, Guo Feng suddenly spoke.

"The general doesn't need to recite it anymore. I'll admit it if I'm so guilty."

Shangguan Yu put away the account book in his hand and handed it to Lan Yu, and advised with great sincerity: "Protector, actually I know that the person behind you is General Liang Zhengliang, and you don't have to cover up his crimes for him. It's better to be broken than to be full of jade."

"A better person is better than a tiled tiles than a jade. The general is very eloquent. Since you and I already know who the person behind me is, will the general still continue to pursue it?"

Guo Feng stared at Shangguan Yu with a sharp look.
