Idle courtiers

Chapter 115 Wait a minute, you wait a minute

Xia and Zhan are not idiots, even if they are idiots, they know the meaning of the words "Fa-rectification on the spot".

Zhan Tong was shocked, and hurriedly shouted: "I'm not from Tianerku. I want to arrest you and Zhou Nan. Why arrest me? Let go, let go!"

Zhou Nan: "...This guy, you have no loyalty... The promise is to help each other..."

Sun Shuban sneered: "Why don't you belong to Tian Erku? You think I'm a fool. The two of you live and eat with this Zhou, and you must be profiteers working together in the crime. You are a witness, so naturally you will be arrested together." Take it!"

Profiteer?

Zhan and Xia have suffered a lot, their clothes are ragged, and their bodies are full of dirt. They are like beggars. Is there such a poor businessman?Is it on the list of dishonest persons and restricted from high consumption?

Zhan Tong: "Fart, you bastard official. No, no, no, what kind of official are you, a small secretary, a lowly subordinate. Do you know who I am? I am the seventh-rank magistrate. Let me go, hurry up let me go!"

It was fine if he didn't scold, but when he scolded, Sun Shuban's expression changed.He took a brick directly from the crumbling wall of the Earth Temple and slapped it on Zhan Tong's head.Now, the world is quiet.

"Crazy fool, seventh-rank master, bah, I'm still the first-rank governor of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion!"

Xia Yi was also furious: "I am an officer of Qianhu, Fusi, North Town of Jinyiwei, please don't mess around...ah!"

Another slab of bricks hit him until his head was covered in blood.

Zhou Nan: "Old Xia, Fatty Zhan, a good man doesn't suffer from short-term losses."

Sun Shuban ordered: "Gag the mouths of these two profiteers, so as not to disturb the officials with their mouthfuls of firewood later, and tie up these three thieves."

Two cloth balls that were so dirty that the original color could not be seen were stuffed into the mouths of Zhan and Xia.Xia Yi is okay, she can still endure.Zhan Tong was delicious, and his sense of taste was more sensitive than ordinary people, so he just vomited out his breakfast.I don't know if it was nausea, or a concussion from being hit by a brick.

Sun Shuban took Zhou Nan and others and walked a short distance to Tianzi No. [-] warehouse. It happened that Yu Chongjiu went to the street to buy a basket of eggs and came back, saying that he wanted to make scrambled eggs with leeks for everyone Teeth fighting festival.

Seeing the three people tied up like zongzi, they were shocked: "Sun Shuban, why did you take my soldiers and completely disregard Nian Paoze's feelings."

Sun Shuban put on a straight face: "Yu Chongjiu, you and I are true. But the boss has an order, so you can't blame me. You were greedy for supplies from the ink warehouse, and the boss ordered me to arrest you. Today, I have offended you. "

Yu Chongjiu yelled: "We are the old people brought by Tang Dushi from Jizhou. It must be you people from Su Songdao who squeezed us out. Your soft goods from Suzhou and Songjiang are all in the crotch when you see the Japanese slaves collapse. There is no egg in it. He was born to be his own person, cruel and merciless. I don’t accept it, I don’t accept it. The surname Sun, if you say that I am greedy for ink, your ass will be clean... ah!"

This is already a map cannon, and if he continues to speak, there will be more ugly things to say.

Everyone relies on the warehouse to eat the warehouse, and no one has shit on their ass.How could Sun Shuban let him finish speaking, and waved his hand.

Yu Chongjiu was bound into a ball by the soldiers rushing forward, and his mouth was also gagged.

The egg in his hand fell to the ground, and the yolk and protein flowed all over the floor.

In this way, almost all the people had their hands tied and their mouths were gagged, only the hero Zhou Nan didn't suffer from the immediate loss, and kept silent from the beginning to the end, being ignored by Sun Shuban.

Zhou Nan thinks so, the army is not a place to be reasonable.The current situation is not clear, yelling and screaming not only cannot solve the problem, but also cause people to suffer for nothing, a wise man will not do it.

The town is not big, and soon a group of people were taken into a courtyard, which was quite large, with more than a dozen public houses, filled with clerks who looked like scholars, and people of all colors came in and out.No need to ask, this is naturally Su Song's official office.

Su Song Bing Bei Dao, as the name suggests, is in charge of the military preparations of Suzhou and Songjiang Prefectures.The official office was originally located in Suzhou, but unfortunately Japanese pirates invaded, and Songjiang Mansion and Suzhou became the place where Japanese pirates and water bandits roamed freely, and no one could beat them.They couldn't do much in Suzhou, and in order to cooperate with Tang Shunzhi, they moved to Jiangyin, which looked like a government-in-exile.

Facing the gate was a small hall, in which a huge middle-aged man sat.The man's face was dark, with sun-burned spots, and it was obvious that he had been sailing on the water all year round.

As soon as a dozen people entered, the hall was packed to the brim.

The middle-aged official was dealing with the official business at hand, probably because of complicated affairs, he kept frowning at some official business, and looked up at everyone.

Sun Shuban stepped forward and cupped his hands: "I have seen the general, the criminals from Tianerku have been brought here, together with the account book, please show me the general."

The middle-aged official still didn't raise his head, and said: "Emerging in ink military funds is a crime that should be punished. They will all be dragged down and chopped up, and the first one will be shown to the public."

Immediately, there was a commotion among all the prisoners, but they could not speak. The strong fear made them limp on the ground, and they were dragged outside one by one like dogs.

Xia Yi is a man and can stand up straight.It's just that his face turned ashen, and he lamented in his heart: I was also blinded by eating lard, and wanted to make Tang Shunzhi vote for Xu Ge, but in the end I died here inexplicably.If I had known this place earlier, it would be better to spend my whole life in the capital city. After all, I am a well-off family, so I regret it.

As for Zhan Tong, he was so frightened that tears flowed down his face, and his whole body trembled like chaff.

If they didn't agree with each other, they didn't even bother to take a look at the prisoner's appearance, so they ordered someone to use a knife.This person is decisive and quick.

The army is a place that only cares about rules and does not care about sympathy. If necessary, thunder methods should be used.Especially during this period of war, the leading generals don't have the patience to interrogate the prisoners one by one. As long as there is evidence, a few sentences can tell the difference between life and death.Only in this way can the three armies be deterred and the soldiers will develop the habit of subconsciously obeying orders.

If he was a bystander, Zhou Nan couldn't help but praise in his heart: This person has the demeanor of a famous general in ancient times.

However, when the knife was on his neck, it was another matter.

At the moment of life and death, Zhou Nan couldn't help but think about it, shouted: "Wait a minute, I won't accept it!"

Hearing Zhou Nan's call, Yu Chongjiu, Zhan Tong and the others all looked at him for help.Yes, among the group of people, he was the only one who was not gagged. He cooperated with Sun Shuban's law enforcement actions without a sound from the beginning to the end, as if he was invisible.Now, only he can tell the difference for everyone.

Sun Shuban was shocked, why did he forget about this person, and hurriedly shouted: "Shut up!"

Zhou Nan shouted to the middle-aged officer: "I am a Huai'an freshman with a reputation. The sage said: "If you don't teach, it's torture. That's right, even if Yu Chongjiu and I have supplies from the ink warehouse Suspicion. But according to the regulations of the treasury ordnance management, all materials are allowed to have a certain percentage of wear and tear. As long as the number handed in at the end is correct, we are not violating the system. If the general wants to wait for the marching law against me, it means that the entry As much material as is in the warehouse, you will get as much out of the warehouse. If there is a shortage, you will be killed. Just ask, who in the world dares to be the ambassador of the warehouse?"

The middle-aged officer was taken aback when he heard the words, slowly raised his head, and asked strangely: "How much goes into the warehouse and how much goes out of the warehouse, it's only right and proper, isn't it right?"

Zhou Nan shook his head: "General, you don't know this. The calculation units of various materials are different. For example, clothing ordnance is calculated in pieces; and tung oil is counted in two liters per catty. When the weather is hot, oil and water A class of things will naturally evaporate, and the weight will also decrease, so they will also be beheaded?"

"Take table salt, gunpowder, etc. as an example. If they get wet, the weight will inevitably increase. Is it possible that the extra part is considered as the warehouse's own? Therefore, there is a loss. Generally speaking, [-] to [-]% are allowed. loss."

The middle-aged man found it interesting, and asked Sun Shuban: "Is this scholar's words true?"

Sun Shuban: "That's right."

The middle-aged man smiled: "It's true that everything you pay attention to is full of articles, but you have increased your knowledge."

With his smile, all the prisoners felt relieved.

However, in the blink of an eye, the middle-aged man turned his face away: "Don't delay, take them all out and rectify the Fa on the spot."

Zhou Nan was shocked: "General..."

The middle-aged man said coldly: "You are greedy for medicinal materials. As far as I know, the medicinal materials are dry goods, but there is not much water. According to the investigation, the Tianer Library is short of more than a thousand catties of various medicinal materials this month. Every mistake, It may not be worth much money. But there are a total of six Tianzihao treasuries, and another ten for Dizihao. If everyone learns from you and waits for the thieves, how much should it be together. There are 10,000+ men and horses in the entire Xingyuan, If everyone is greedy for a penny, the sand will form a tower, and the armpits will become a coat, how much will it be in the end? No matter how much money the court allocates, very few are actually used for military affairs. There is no sentiment to talk about in running the army. , use extraordinary means in extraordinary times. Cut it off, and give it a proper burial!"

Zhou Nan understood completely. What he said for a long time was actually nonsense to the other party's ears. He knew that he wanted to kill these little people to build his prestige.People talk about politics, and it is useless for you to fight the law with him.

It's over, I'm going to die here today, what a shame!
With a panic in my heart, a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out in the vest.

Seeing him being held up and about to be dragged out, Zhou Nan's heart suddenly brightened: This person must be an outsider who has just taken charge of the army. If he wants to establish authority in the army, this is the third fire for a new official to take office. He should not be an old man .So, who sent him?Today, the Su, Chang, Yang, and Song prefectures are implementing a wartime system, and the only person who can appoint Su Song as the top leader of the army is Tang Shunzhi.If I want to survive, I can only start on this.

In the blink of an eye, he suddenly had an idea: "General, I have sent all the medicinal materials in the warehouse to Mr. Tang. You can find out as soon as you ask. I want to see Governor Tang, and I want to see Mr. Ying De. "

Sure enough, the middle-aged general was stunned: "You sent those medicinal materials to Mr. Yingde... wait a minute!"

Seeing that he was not in a hurry to chop off his own head, Zhou Nan thought, "Sure enough, this person is indeed Tang Shunzhi's man. It will be easier if this is the case, maybe my life can be saved."

With a serious look, he said: "Yes, I received an order from Mr. Tang to deliver a batch of medicinal materials to his account. It's just that this matter is very important and important, but it is not easy for others to know. This is a fraud. It is said that it is sold to medicinal materials merchants, so you have hidden it from the soldiers."

After finishing speaking, he smiled wryly: "I thought that there were not many medicinal materials. In order not to disturb others, we reported the loss ourselves and wiped it off. But we don't want the general to be fair and strict, and the methods of running the army are vigorous and vigorous, but we want to be wronged." Kill me and wait."
