Chapter 154 Chapter 154 The General's Dead Wife 23

It can be said that everything has been going wrong for General Lee recently.

First, his wife called the servants in the house to tell him that something was wrong with her youngest daughter Ruyi recently. Not only was she depressed and dazed all day long, she even refused to bring him food. She asked him if Ruyi had been wronged in the military camp?

Even though General Li was thinking hard, he still couldn't figure out what happened to his little daughter. Wasn't she still happy when she came to the military camp last time?

Of course, this matter was just a trivial matter, not enough for him to take it seriously. But the last thing made General Li realize what it means to attack the heart with urgency.

The three large granaries belonging to the 13th Military Camp were actually stolen by a group of unknown persons overnight. The whereabouts of those people and the food are still not traceable at all.

General Li slammed the pen and ink on the desk to the ground, almost angrily pointed at the subordinates in front of him and cursed: "What a bunch of wine bags and rice bags. There are so many soldiers guarding the granary and they let others steal it. Useless trash."

.If we can’t find the food, those who guard the granary will have no chance of living. The tens of thousands of soldiers in this battalion will eat them alive.”

The soldiers of the several battalions standing below were all downcast and silent.

Before today, no one could have imagined that something would happen to the granary.

You must know that the three major granaries are extremely important to the Thirteenth Army Camp. Both soldiers and livestock cannot live without food and grass. This is the most fundamental guarantee for stabilizing military morale.

Just like the reason Jiang Yunqi proposed to the county magistrate for entering the military camp in the first place was that he wanted to have enough to eat, the county magistrate didn't think it was a problem because everyone recognized that the military camp was the place where he was least likely to go hungry.

But now there are troubles in the three major granaries.

Moreover, the grain reserves in the Thirteenth Army Camp are also in jeopardy, and there is simply not enough to support the arrival of new grains in the coming year.

Now there is only one way to go before General Li, and that is to retrieve the food and grass.

Otherwise, if the higher-ups find out about this, he, the general, may be in trouble, and his life may even be in danger.

Even if his father-in-law spoke kind words for him in court, it could not stop him from making such a huge mistake.

The more General Li thought about it, the more anxious he became, and his mouth almost burst into flames.

And the soldiers below were also worried. After all, once the emperor and his ministers were replaced by another general, they, the veterans under General Li, would probably have to retire early as well.

But the problem is that it’s useless to be anxious. I don’t know where those people who stole food came from, let alone where they took all the food and grass.

Now that all clues have been cut off, General Li can only ask his soldiers to investigate everywhere.

Originally, Jiang Yunqi was thinking of asking for leave from the captain and looking for an opportunity to meet with Li Ruyi to ask for details. However, in the past few days, the officers and men in the camp had been acting in a state of panic, which made him feel like a storm was about to come.

Of course, General Li and others kept the incident in the granary a secret and did not dare to make it public for fear of disturbing the morale of the army.

So Jiang Yunqi only felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know where the problem lay.

After all, he is just a new recruit now, and he is still a new recruit who is hated by General Li.

Jiang Yunqi originally hesitated about whether to wait for a while before going out, but he thought about things like love. Once there is no contact for a long time, the feeling will fade away, so he finally chose to apply for going out to buy things.

"I just want to buy some things for inner wear, and I also want to buy a pot of wine to quench my greed. I hope the commander will be accommodating to me." Jiang Yunqi said with a flattering face, while putting the broken silver in his hand.

Wan Yu stuffed it in his hand.

What a coincidence, Wan Yu is Jiang Yunqi's current leader, the young general in charge of their new army camp.

Wan Yu's eyes flickered on his face, his eyes flickered slightly, he quickly collected the money and patted his shoulder, smiled and nodded: "We are all brothers, stay in the military camp for a long time

Yes, it’s really boring. I understand what you’re thinking. Go ahead and come back early.”

Jiang Yunqi felt happy and said some nice words to compliment Wan Yu before turning around and leaving Wan Yu's room.

But Wan Yu also immediately left the room, turned around to find a soldier with a pockmarked face, and whispered a few words.

The expression on the soldier's face remained unchanged, he just saluted Wan Yu and immediately left the military camp.

When General Li sent countless troops to look for the group of grain thieves, Mingyue was in the basement of the rented courtyard. It was quite spectacular to see that the basements of the five connected courtyards were filled with grain and grass.

The basement has been dug since Mingyue and others moved in. From the first three courtyards to the current five, it has indeed taken a lot of effort from the boss.

Fortunately, it's not all work in vain.

Although for ordinary people, it is easy to steal things but difficult to sell them, Mingyue is not an ordinary person, and the person standing behind her is not an ordinary person either.

Moreover, there are so many refugees outside, no matter how much food there is, it is not enough to eat.

Of course, you still need to restrain yourself a little during this period of time. After all, it is still someone else's territory, but don't let it get away from you.

So Mingyue asked those bandit soldiers to act as ordinary purchasing merchants, traveling between cities to buy and sell things, and make a profit from the price difference.

Even if the things they transport are occasionally mixed with some grain, no one would doubt it. After all, grain is the hard currency of this world.

However, the bandit soldiers were busy, but Mingyue was free, and when she had nothing to do, she thought of Jiang Yun.

As soon as she fell asleep, Wan Yu handed over a pillow. When Mazi said that Jiang Yunqi asked for leave and left the military camp, Mingyue's eyes immediately lit up.

A person from the Song Dynasty came out of the camp at this time, tsk tsk tsk...

Isn't this because he is afraid that others will not doubt him?

Moreover, the corners of Mingyue's lips curled up. She would help General Li. It was boring to not be able to find clues all the time. It would be nice to catch a scapegoat.

As for what will happen to the Wu State magistrate who recommended Jiang Yunqi to join the military camp? That has nothing to do with Mingyue.

She will never forget that both Song Mingyue in the previous life and the two Song businessmen in this life died because of the county magistrate's suggestion. Jiang Yunqi was the executioner, but the county magistrate was not innocent either.

"Zhang Hao, Xu Peng, you two go out, like this...and then like this..." Mingyue called two bandit soldiers and ordered in a low voice.

When the two bandit soldiers heard this, their faces were full of excitement and they said:

"Don't worry, boss, we two brothers promise to complete the task."

"Yes, yes, hehehe."

Mingyue couldn't bear to look at their vulgar expressions anymore, so she just waved her hand and sent them away.

Next, it just depends on how Jiang Yunqi responds.

A huge pie suddenly fell in front of him, and with his greed, he would probably take the bait immediately.
