Chapter 162 Lifting Suspicion
"The recent civil strife in Mube means they have no time to take care of us. It can't be Nanman's fault!"

"What kind of civil strife?" This caught Yu Jia's attention.

Lin Gongxun knew that Yu Jia was more interested in these gossips, so he told the civil strife in Nanman.

It turned out that Li Shan's father, a first-rank Nanman general, had turned against him!
Yu Jia expressed shock. He had already achieved the rank of Zhonglang General, so how could he think of rebelling?
Lin Gongxun looked at Yu Jia with a half-smile, "Didn't you kill Li Dan on the battlefield and make General Zhong Lang feel resentful?"

Yu Jia pouted, "Then he should advocate attacking the Great Zhou Dynasty. How can he cause trouble for their Southern Barbarian ruler?"

General Zhonglang asked the Southern Barbarian leader to send troops against the Great Zhou on this basis.

But at that time, Mu Shihe had just returned to the Southern Barbarians, and Mu Zhaling wanted to rest before sending troops.

The two men had different political views, so they took the matter to a public level and started fighting openly.

The leaders of the Southern Barbarians were all members of the Mu tribe, so of course they favored Mu Zha Ling.

The lieutenant general saw that his son had lost half his life for the sake of the Nanman and was ridiculed by everyone in the world.

Then he went into battle to kill the enemy for the Nanman and was killed. In the end, he ended up with a foolhardy and self-inflicted fate.

How could his father, a man with white hair and a man with black hair, accept it?
In anger, he led his troops to rebel!
Yu Jia suddenly realized at this moment that no wonder they were so honest during this period. It turned out that it was dog eating dog and they had too much time to take care of themselves.

The result must be that General Zhonglang's forces were suppressed, and not only his family was confiscated, but the nine clans were also exterminated.

Yu Jia laughed "haha", remembering that day when the lieutenant general said seriously that the eighth generation of his family had a single inheritance, it was great now, all nine clans were cut off.

At the same time, she became worried again, "Did the Zhonglang General's property be confiscated?"

At that time, when he kidnapped Li Shan and blackmailed the general, he took out ten thousand taels of gold without blinking an eye.

How much money has been confiscated from the wealth and wealth that has been looted over the years?

If the amount of money is huge, then Dazhou's situation will become dangerous.

"The Zhonglang General's money has been collected by the Southern Barbarians, so he will have money to fight the war. We have to be busy again!"

Lin Gongxun was speechless, "Why are you so pessimistic all day long?"

"Want a war when you have money?"

Yu Jia stood up and retorted.

"I am prepared for danger in times of peace. I am far-sighted and anticipate dangers in advance to prevent me from being caught off guard!"

Lin Gongxun didn't know her at all, so he didn't speak.

The atmosphere fell into an eerie silence, and both of them were a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Gou Sheng came back at this time, and Yu Jia breathed a sigh of relief. She increasingly felt that Lin Gongxun was difficult to get along with.

"Colonel Lieutenant, I made inquiries and found out that a small number of soldiers in the camp did have dysentery!"

"what?"

Yu Jia and Lin Gongxun said in unison.

"How could this be?"

Yu Jia made up her mind and asked Gou Sheng to find Chang Haier and come back.

Lin Gongxun saw that she was in a bad mood, so he returned to the camp and asked Fang Dashan to check the situation in other camps.

"Captain, what are your orders for the young one?"

Chang Haier looked at Yu Jia with a carefree look.

However, Yu Jia was different from usual, with a cold and serious face.

"Chang Hai'er, you were going up the mountain a few days ago. What did you want to do?"

Chang Hai'er looked stern and his eyes were a little panicked.

Gou Sheng on the side immediately shouted sharply.

"Why are you hesitating? Speak quickly!"

Chang Haier shouted dissatisfied: "Why are you so anxious? You can't let me think about it?"

"You!" Gou Sheng said angrily, "Think quickly!"

Seeing both of them staring at him, Chang Haier scratched his head, made up his mind, and started talking.

"I went to hide the money!"

Yu Jia was startled, "What kind of money are you hiding?" Chang Haier said angrily: "Of course it's salary!"

Yu Jia glanced at Gou Sheng and saw that he was also confused, so she asked.

"Why hide salary money?"

Chang Haier sighed, "My money was originally kept in the camp tent."

He glanced at Gou Sheng and said, "It was too unsafe there, so I moved to the forest."

"What do you mean? What do you mean?? What do you mean by that look in your eyes?"

Gou Sheng jumped up and pointed at Chang Haier's nose: "Do you suspect that I stole your money?"

Chang Haier was also anxious at this time, "That's right, my money was stolen by you last time!"

"Did you see me steal it?"

Gou Sheng's eyes were bloodshot and he had a ferocious look on his face. He wanted to hit someone the next moment.

Yu Jia stood up and stood between the two of them helplessly.

"Ganha ganha, are you two going to fight?"

"It was him, Erzhu, and Chang Haier who slandered me first!"

Gou Sheng was about to cry, "I am short of money and I am a person who is used to living a hard life, but I will never do such a shameful act!"

Not to be outdone, Chang Hai'er said, "There are only two of us living in the camp. If I lost my money, it wasn't you who took it. Who else could it be?"

"Hey, Chang Hai'er, how much money did you lose? When did you lose it? You have to explain this clearly, and is it worth moving the small treasury?"

Chang Hai'er snorted coldly, "One hundred taels of silver were lost when you went to Nanman!"

"Ok?"

Yu Jia had a guess in her mind.

"Chang Hai'er, do you still remember how drunk we were when we were eating spicy rabbit heads?"

Chang Haier's face was full of doubts, "I remember!"

"I lent you one hundred taels of silver at that time!"

It was winter, and Yu Jia's birthday was about to happen. The mountains were blocked by heavy snow, so she couldn't buy birthday gifts.

Chang Haier was also challenged by Gu Wenbin because he wanted to catch rabbits for Yu Jia.

Eating rabbit meat, she felt really regretful, so she borrowed a hundred taels of silver from Chang Haier in advance, hoping to make up for it by buying a birthday gift after the snow melted.

Chang Hai'er scratched his head, "Is this happening?"

"Why not? I was also there at the time. You were very drunk and agreed all the time. Then you ran to Tongpu and gave the one hundred taels of silver to Erzhu!"

Gou Sheng became confident, "Have you forgotten all about it?"

Chang Hai'er thought about it, but something was still wrong, "Er Zhu, have you returned it to me? Why did I find that there was less money before you went to Nanman?"

Yu Jia was surprised that she had received 10,000 taels of gold from her father Li Dan, excluding the 1,000 taels given to Lin Gongxun.

She still had nine thousand taels of gold, plus the silver notes Mu Yanzhen gave her, so she really forgot about this small one hundred taels of silver.

"Didn't I forget it for a moment?"

"Hey, blame me for this, blame me!"

Yu Jia quickly took Chang Haier's arm, "I will pay you back later, and you don't have to hide money in the mountains and forests anymore!"

The misunderstanding was resolved, and Chang Haier also apologized to Gou Sheng.

"But Chang Hai'er, you hid the money in the mountains and forests, you really found a new way!"

Chang Haier looked matter-of-fact, "I am a child who grew up in the mountains and forests, so naturally I believe in the mountains and forests!"

Yu Jia breathed a sigh of relief, this relieved Chang Haier's suspicion.

What exactly does Ayan mean, and why does she suspect someone is causing trouble?
After Lin Gongxun's investigation, he also found a few people infected with dysentery, which immediately attracted his attention.

"Check to see if there are any abnormalities in the military rations and kitchens!"
