I want to be emperor

Chapter 3

According to Li Tonglin's order, taking advantage of the few days when the army was resting, Luo Zhixue, under the leadership of Sun Mazi, conducted a comprehensive inventory of all kinds of supplies, food and grass in the army and re-booked them.

However, during the first day of interrogation, Luo Zhixue found many problems.

The most important thing is that the army has a lot of food reserves at first glance, but considering that the entire team has nearly 500 people and the consumption of more than 200 mules and horses, it is estimated that it will not be enough for ten days. The most important thing is that the consumption rate of food and grass in the army is much faster than it should be.

One can tell at a glance that someone has enriched their own pockets and embezzled the food and grass in the army and even the gold and silver stored in the army.

This group of thousands of rebels seems to have a lot of problems, far more than a simple mess of superficial accounts.

At this time, he didn't know that Fang Ada and the others were also thinking of countermeasures.

Under the dim oil lamp, Fang Ada and the others looked at each other and thought of a way.

One of the thick-browed and big-faced men said, "Why don't we just do that guy named Luo tonight? I'll do it myself and keep it safe."

But Fang Ada said: "No, our general is not a fool. The investigation started during the day, and that Luo was killed at night. What do you think the general thinks? The one named Sun thinks so? A fool when the time comes We can all guess that there is a problem with the luggage, and we will surely die if we follow the clues."

"Don't tell me, when the time comes, you will be able to withstand the torture of the general."

Another person raised his eyebrows and said, "Why don't we arrange for a few brothers to make an accident during the investigation tomorrow? Kill that Luo directly?"

Fang A Dao: "It is possible to arrange accidents, but it is not so easy to arrange accidents under the noses of so many people, and after the accident happens, if the brother who does the work is not steady enough, he was caught and forced to ask, saying no Will give us out."

Later, some people proposed other methods, without exception, they were all rushing to kill Luo Zhixue, and some even thought about killing Sun Jiancheng as well, and then completely controlled the power of managing the luggage in their own hands.

But, it's easy to kill people, but it's not easy to want to kill them without anyone noticing, and without making people suspect them.

After all, Li Tonglin was not a fool. He arranged for people to check the luggage, and Luo Zhixue and even Sun Chengli were killed. The fools knew that there was a problem with the luggage. Li Tonglin would probably arrest Fang Ada and the others and torture them one by one.

Under severe torture, it is absolutely accurate to ask one question.

In the end, it was Fang Ah Dao: "We have to be careful about this, we can't kill people directly, so I will arrange for someone to put laxatives in his meal tomorrow morning."

"Let him have diarrhea? Although the drug surnamed Luo can be killed if it is used more aggressively, it is not safe. What if it doesn't die!"

Fang Ada said: "Hmph, he was a refugee a few days ago, his body is very weak, a laxative will kill him even if he doesn't die, even if his life is hard, I will arrange someone to continue to take the medicine If he eats it for a few days in a row, his life will be over."

"If it doesn't work, I'll arrange for the doctor to secretly prescribe a poison prescription when he has diarrhea."

"Hmph, as long as the arrangements are made properly, the person surnamed Luo will surely die."

"And it won't attract people's attention if he does this. After all, he ate his own stomach and is weak. If he has diarrhea and dies, he can't blame others!"

When the other people heard Fang Ada's plan, they agreed with it after a little thought, and one of them said: "This method is possible, and the gods don't know it."

However, some people still asked: "What about Sun Chengli? Even if the kid surnamed Luo is seriously ill or even died, if Sun Chengli wants to continue to interrogate, he will continue to interrogate in the future, or we will not do both." Don’t stop, forget about drugging the surnamed Sun.”

Fang A Dao said: "No, if Luo Zhixue was killed secretly, it could be said that he had a bad stomach and died of diarrhea because of his weak body, but if Sun Chengli was given medicine, then the matter could not be concealed. This matter is of great importance. We don't need to be extravagant."

"Just kill the guy named Luo, and leave the rest to me. As long as the kid named Luo doesn't get in the way, I can continue to fool Sun Chengli."

"Sun Chengli can't read big characters, and there is no one surnamed Luo to show him. At that time, I will just say what I say to the account book."

-

The next day it was dark, Luo Zhixue had just woken up before he had time to wash up, when he found someone knocking on the door, Luo Zhixue stepped forward and looked out through the crack of the door, and saw a thirteen or fourteen year old boy with ragged clothes and a dirty face Standing outside the door, looking left and right, it seemed that he was afraid of being discovered.

Luo Zhixue frowned slightly when he saw this sneaky young man who came uninvited, and immediately shouted softly through the door: "Who is it?"

Unexpectedly, after hearing the voice, the young man outside the back door said directly: "Fang Ada and the others are going to poison you, be careful these few days."

After speaking, he left quickly without waiting for Luo Zhixue to talk.

This situation was somewhat beyond Luo Zhixue's expectations.

Who is this person?

Also, then Fang Ada actually wanted to poison himself?

After thinking about it for a while, Luo Zhixue roughly guessed what it was.

It seems that my guess is correct. There is definitely a big problem with the military's supplies. It is not as simple as a simple confusion of accounts. I am afraid that there is also a serious problem of corruption.

It was so serious that as soon as Li Tonglin ordered an investigation of the luggage, Fang Ada, who was in charge of the account books before, couldn't wait to murder him.

It seems that my previous idea of ​​wanting to stay out of the matter was a bit simple. After I participated in the re-inspection of the luggage, it was impossible to stay out of the matter.

Since they wanted to die by themselves, they couldn't sit still and wait for death!
But who was the boy who suddenly came to tell him the news?

At the same time, the young man who had walked away quickly stopped, looked back at Luo Zhixue's direction, and murmured: "As long as the surname Luo reports to him, then Fang Ada will die."

"The revenge of parents can be avenged."

Three months ago, Li Tonglin and his group passed through a village to recruit soldiers. During this period, Fang Ada brought a few bandits to his house to collect food, and they confiscated all the food in his house. The mother who took a fancy to the young man tried to do something harmonious.

The teenager's parents desperately resisted this, Fang Ada was furious, and directly led a few bandits to kill his parents.

All of this was seen by him from a distance, but he had no time to save people, and he was also unable to save people, so he could only keep the face of the enemy firmly in his heart.

After a few days, the boy caught up with Li Tonglin and his group of thieves, and turned to the thieves incognito for revenge.

The hatred of parents is irreconcilable!

He joined the thief army to lurk in March and has been looking for opportunities to revenge.

Heaven paid off, when Fang Ada asked someone to prescribe Luo Zhixue last night, the person who accepted it happened to live in the tent next door to him, so the teenager overheard it.

After overhearing the incident, the teenager realized that the opportunity for revenge had come.

That's why he secretly ran to inform Luo Zhixue when it was just dawn.

He is powerless to avenge himself, but he can kill with a knife!
Luo Zhixue is that knife!

-

Luo Zhixue at the other end pondered for a moment, then immediately took the ledger and prepared to go out to find Sun Chengcheng.

Before going out, he thought about it, and turned around to wake up Lin Ayu who was still sleeping just now: "Ah fish, get up, brother will take you to play."

After Lin Ahyu was woken up, she was still in a daze. She didn't react for a while, and her eyes were only half-opened: "Brother Xue..."

Luo Zhixue reached out and rubbed his hair: "Get up, I'll take you out."

Lin Ahyu still mumbled in a daze.

After dressing him well, Luo Zhixue took him out.

Since someone sneaked up to tell him that Fang Ada wanted to poison him, Luo Zhixue had to be on his guard. The reason why he brought Lin Ahyu along was because he was worried that someone might poison the food. I got caught without knowing it.

In order to avoid accidents, he didn't even plan to eat breakfast in this room, who knows if the food was poisoned in advance.

After going out, Luo Zhixue left in a hurry, he wanted to find Sun Chengcheng and report the matter as soon as possible.

Not just for self-protection, but also for counterattack!
But how to protect yourself, how to fight back?

Could it be that he directly carried the knife and killed him?

That's the next strategy, let's not say that Luo Zhixue has no power to restrain the chicken, and there is a high probability that he will be killed on the spot if he kills him directly. Even if he can successfully kill, but what happens after the kill?Is it to escape or explain the cause and effect to Li Tonglin and the others?

Direct hands-on risks are unpredictable.

So Luo Zhixue chose the easiest and most convenient path.

Murder with a knife!
Sun Chengli is that knife!

-

Luo Zhixue took Lin Ahyu to Sun Jiancheng's residence soon.

At this meeting, Sun Chengli obviously just woke up not long ago, and he hasn't even changed his clothes yet.

Sun Chengli glanced at Luo Zhixue, then at Lin Ahyu, and then said, "What's going on, I came here early in the morning."

Luo Zhixue pretended to be frightened and said: "Brother Sun, this subordinate is here to save his life, so he has to be in a hurry!"

After hearing this, Sun Chengli frowned slightly: "Who is going to harm you?"

Luo Zhixue still looked scared: "It's Fang Ada. Someone sneaked up to me this morning and told me that Fang Ada was going to poison me, and asked General Sun to be the boss!"

As he spoke, he put on a crying face.

"Fang Ada?" After hearing the name, Sun Chengli didn't say why or impossible as Luo Zhixue expected, but fell silent.

Seeing him like this, Luo Zhixue vaguely guessed something, so he continued: "That's right, this subordinate has no grievances with that Fang Ada, I just saw him for the first time the day before yesterday, but for some reason that person actually wanted to kill me , and I found out yesterday that when he looked at me, his eyes were stern, as if I had ruined him for something good."

When Sun Chengli heard this, his expression gradually turned cold: "It seems that there is really a problem with the luggage, and it is a big problem."

At this moment, Luo Zhixue pretended to be stunned: "The baggage, what does this have to do with the baggage? Could it be that he is going to be cruel to his subordinates because he followed the general to check the baggage yesterday?"

Luo Zhixue was also afraid that Sun Chengli would not know that there was a problem with the luggage, so he deliberately brought the topic to the luggage.

Sun Chengli said: "No mistake, I have long suspected that there is a problem with the luggage, but I am also illiterate, we can't understand Fang Ada's account book, I have taken people to calculate the luggage several times before, but I can't find it. Clearly wrong."

"But, there must be something wrong inside!"

"Now with your brother Luo's help, we can sort out the luggage account book, so they won't be able to hide it anymore."

"They're in a hurry."

"It's just that I didn't expect that they acted so harshly, and they were ready to kill people to silence them on the first day."

"That's good too. Since they jumped out on their own initiative, it will save me a lot of effort and just catch them all in one go."

Investigating the supplies in the army, finding out the problems, and digging out those who are corrupt and carrying supplies, this is not something Sun Chengli did on a whim, but he has had this idea for a long time.

For this reason, he has actually discussed with Li Tonglin many times, and said that he would find a scholar to come back and check the account books.

And this was also one of the direct motives for Li Tonglin and Sun Chengli to bring Luo Zhixue back after they saw Luo Zhixue wearing a long gown and confirmed that he was a scholar.

Dealing with letters and documents is actually an excuse. Nowadays, there are no serious documents to deal with in the army. The only thing that needs to be dealt with is the management of the military's supplies.

It now appears that this move was the right move.

As soon as Sun Chengli took Luo Zhixue to check the accounts, they couldn't wait to jump out.

Although Fang Ada was the only one who came out, as long as one was caught, a series of them would follow.

In this matter, Luo Zhixue is their knife!

Sun Chengli took Luo Zhixue's knife and prepared to kill someone!

　The new book is finally released, and I am anxious and looking forward to it.

　　In the past month, I have repeatedly thought about how to write the new book, and after many discussions with the editor, I finally finalized this new book, which is the type of rainy day I am best at!
　　Please sit still and hold on, I'm going to take you to the Qinhuai River at the end of Ming Dynasty by drag racing!
