Chapter 93: Being teased

The letter of self-repentance and silver sent to the capital was also a letter written by Liu Tingwei and a letter written by Shangguan Yu and Rong Lian to the emperor.

The letter shows the lives of the soldiers they saw since they entered the military camp and the rumors about the pension they heard.

As for the waste paper ball with Liang Zheng's name written on it, Shangguan Yu thought about it and decided not to take it out. There is no other evidence now. If you rashly tell everything, it will only cause controversy and no one will believe it. So it is better to wait until there is other evidence in the future and then speak.

Anyway, he has now known Liang Zheng’s true face and will be more careful in the future.

At the Mansion of General Cavalry.

Liang Zheng was in a very good mood these two days because he had just received a letter from Guo Feng to him by Hai Dongqing.

The letter not only said that this year's money would be sent to send someone in the next few days, but also told him that Shangguan Yu and Rong Lian in the military camp were very disagreeable and were confronting each other.

If even the main general and deputy general in the military camp were dissatisfied, how could this battle be fought well? Therefore, Liang Zheng thought that Shangguan Yuying's rate in this battle was very small.

He got the result he wanted without any effort. Liang Zheng naturally showed his sad face today, and he rarely smiled on his face.

Even the maids and servants in the mansion could see that Shen Ling could not see the person around him.

"Why are you so happy recently? Have you raised someone outside with me on your back?"

Shen Ling snuggled in his arms and joked.

Liang Zheng grabbed her hand and looked at her with tenderness in his eyes, "I said nonsense again, how did I treat my wife over the years? Others don't know, do you still know, Madam, you just need to write your name in my heart."

After hearing his words, Shen Ling smiled shyly. She didn't look like a woman who had given birth to several children. She was already in her thirties, just like a young girl. It can be seen that Liang Zheng treated her very well over the years.

While the two were whispering and enjoying the fun of the boudoir, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Report to the general, Babaili Jiao has urgent matters to report!"

Liang Zheng thought it was Guo Feng who had sent him the news that he had lost this battle, and he was even more happy, "Come in and report!"

After the visitor entered the house, hesitated and didn't know if he should say it, but he didn't dare to say it.

Seeing this, Liang Zheng knew that he had a secret to report. He didn't want Shen Ling to know too much about what he was doing, so he turned his head and said softly to her.

"I suddenly want to drink the soup cooked by my wife by myself. I wonder if my wife is willing to wash my hands and make soup for me at this time?"

Shen Ling has long been used to not going to find out what Liang Zheng is doing, so when he heard him say this, he nodded and wanted to go to the kitchen.

Seeing that her figure had gone away, the confidant who was sending the message spoke in a panic.

"The general is not doing well! Prince Yu won the battle with the Huns again this time, and Guo Duhu was found hanged himself at home. Our affairs are probably discovered!"

"What! Guo Feng is dead!" Liang Zheng stood up suddenly, his face was shocked, and his heart was like a pot of hot oil was blown up, not knowing what to do.

After finally calming down, Liang Zheng hurriedly spoke, but his voice was filled with a slightly inaudible Douyin.

"Don't panic first, tell me everything I said."

"Report to the general, we have not received any information. It is just that King Yu secretly searched for evidence of Guo Duhu's corruption in military pay, and wanted to arrest him, but he got the news in advance and hanged himself overnight, leaving only a letter of self-regret.

But we have not received any news yet. We only know that King Yu sent someone to send the silver and the letter of self-regret found from the Protectorate of Guo to the capital together with this letter of self-regret."

The confidant quickly told everything they knew, but this time they did not get any clear news, so they had only a little understanding of some things.

Shangguan Yu in the courtyard was afraid that Liang Zheng would secretly make trouble when he sent someone to escort the evidence to the capital, so this time he did not ask people who usually sent war reports to the capital to escort it, but sent a group of his confidants to change to another route and rushed to the capital for several days.

Shangguan Yu was not worried about his mistakes. In the past, the person who sent the war reports was also Liang Zheng's. Once there was any news on weekdays, he would know it earlier than everyone in the capital.

But this time, Shangguan Yu suddenly used this trick. When Liang Zheng got the news, the evidence and silver were about to enter the palace, so he couldn't even think about it.

After hearing what his confidant said, Liang Zheng thought in his heart that he believed that Guo Feng would not confess his own.

This confidence does not come from Guo Feng's loyalty, but because his family is in the hands of Liang Zheng, so Liang Zheng believes that Guo Feng's suicide and the letter of self-regret are all to help him cover up his crimes.

Thinking of this, Liang Zheng was no longer as panicked as before. He reached out and picked up the cold tea beside him and took a sip.

This mouthful of herbal tea penetrated his throat and calmed down his mind.

"You just said that Shangguan Yu won again in this battle?"

This is what Liang Zheng couldn't understand the most. The main general and the deputy general were incompatible with water and fire, and the opponent also had a powerful general with natural divine power. How did Shangguan You win this battle?

The confidant nodded quickly. Shangguan Yu's reputation for winning the war had already spread from Yumen Pass to the capital. After hearing this, the people all admired him.

"Not only did you win, it is said that King Yu also worked with Duke Rong's prince to design the Xiongnu's deputy generals to madly kill his soldiers. Everyone said that this battle was very beautiful and there was no effort at all."

When Liang Zheng heard him say that Shangguan Yu and Rong Lian were together, he suddenly understood something, his face suddenly became gloomy and had a dark face, just like the dark clouds in summer, and lightning was about to thunder.

It turned out that he was actually teased by two young boys. Shangguan Yu and Rong Lian’s so-called incompatible water and fire, and the tension was all fake!

The two must have performed those scenes on purpose to numb themselves and others, and then took the opportunity to start investigating military pay in the dark. During this period, they found out the matter without even disturbing anyone.

What’s funny is that when I first heard Guo Feng’s message, I actually believed it, and I was even a little complacent about it.

Damn it, I was actually fooled!

What a prince Yu who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger. Let’s take a look in the future!

Liang Zheng had never received such a shame since he became the General of the Cavalry. At this moment, the anger in his heart was difficult to calm down. He waved his sleeves and swept the teacup beside him to the ground.

"If the emperor got these evidences, he would be furious. He would probably order the matter to be investigated. Now the expedient approach is to shirk everything on Guo Feng's head. The greater the crime on his head, the smaller the suspicion we will be."

Liang Zheng walked back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back, walking fast, and was constantly talking about solutions.

"I am sick now and cannot go to court. You can tell our own people in the court as soon as possible. When I go to court tomorrow, we will jointly siege Guo Feng. If someone questioned where the military pay we had been embezzled before, let them give Guo Feng a name for collusion with the enemy and stolen the country."

Although Guo Feng died for himself, Liang Zheng was able to give him the title of "cooperating with enemies and selling the country", which shows how cruel he is.

In the palace, in the imperial study.

Shangguan Sha was looking at the letter sent by Shangguan Yu, and the blue veins on his forehead swelled up, looking like he was furious.

The letter said that the soldiers in the military camp were already in Hanqiu but were still wearing summer clothes. They ate cooked vegetables every meal without even touching oil stars. They even had most of the pensions after death.

After reading this, Shangguan Sha slapped the table suddenly and angrily said, "There is such a thing!"

Seeing the emperor getting angry, everyone in the study quickly knelt down, lowered their eyebrows and shouted respectfully.

"Please don't be too angry, protect the dragon body!"

Shangguan Sha has been in the past few years as the emperor. Although he has not made any great achievements, he has maintained his reputation as his ancestors and has made many measures to benefit the people.

A few years ago, he also asked someone to arrest a group of corrupt officials in the officialdom. Everyone was severely punished in the end, and they thought of borrowing chickens and killing monkeys to serve as a warning to others.

But I never thought that the biggest corrupt official was hiding in the military camp, and he owed 200,000 taels of silver this year alone!

So how much money and cream should he have embezzled in recent years?

Shangguan Sha thought that these silver was greedy from the soldiers on the border, and he felt a little scared.

He could not imagine that if such a soldier from Dazhou who was not warm for a long time could not eat, he would face the fat and healthy Xiongnu soldiers who were unable to eat and were unable to defeat him and were stepped through Yumen Pass, the door of Dazhou would be lost, and even the foundation left by his ancestors might be destroyed in his hands.

Then how can I be worthy of my ancestors and the people of Dazhou?

This time we must investigate thoroughly. Why do there are such borers in the army have never been questioned? If it weren't for his Yu'er's discovery this time, how much money would such a person embezzle in the army?

I went to court the next day.

From the beginning, Shangguan Sha's face turned a little gloomy from the beginning. The officials who were not sure below were all wary. The atmosphere in the entire hall was a bit anxious.

The officials who already knew the inside story exchanged a clear look with each other, and each had their own little thoughts in their hearts.

Shangguan Sha sat on it, received everyone's reactions into his eyes, and then spoke majestic.

"Yesterday, King Yu, who was at Yumen Pass, sent someone to send me some things. Do you guys know what it is?"

No matter what they knew or not, they could only lower their heads and silently. Only Su Muwan's father Su Qingyun spoke at this time.
