Li Ling and Wei Liang and his teachers and students sang and said this, which made Liao Qinghui feel strange and immediately stared at them: "What are you talking nonsense? If you really look down on me, you can kill me to see if my brothers outside will avenge me!"

Of course, this was just an angry word, otherwise he would not have let his subordinates withdraw. Li Ling also understood this, so he just smiled and glanced at Li Youzhen next to him: "Prime Minister Li Tong, you are really a good method. If you sell someone, you can still count money for you. I am grateful. I really admire you."

Li Youzhen suddenly felt a sudden sank, but she was very calm on her face and hummed: "I don't know what you are talking nonsense. Don't think of using sweet words to deceive Liao Dutong, that will only bring shame on yourself."

"Ha, I will only analyze the truth to him. As for whether Liao Dutong believes it depends on whether he is a sensible person." Li Ling said, and looked at Liao Qinghui again, "Liao Dutong, what I heard about you just now seems to be because your camp is hard and the salary cannot be paid on time, which forces you to join Yang Wanquan and the others in order to accept bribes?"

"Not bad!" Liao Qinghui was very bachelor, and nodded immediately, "I know there is something wrong with doing this, but if you don't make this mistake, your brothers will be hungry, so I did this mistake knowingly!"

"Tong Liao is really a good general who loves soldiers like his sons. No wonder his brothers obey you." Li Ling said, and even picked his thumbs up at him, but then the topic changed again, "But have you ever thought about it, who caused the frequent shortage of money and food in your army?"

"Of course, the people above deducted our military pay. These things happen from time to time, and I have seen a lot of them."

"Oh, how do you say this?"

"A few years ago, people always deducted 30% of the food and salary in our Shanzi Camp. I went to the Shangfeng Yamen to ask about it, but they said it was justified because the court had difficulty collecting taxes, so they could only deduct our military salary. I actually knew very well that it was the guys in the Yamen above who greed for our salary and then pushed the mistakes on the court because they knew that my duty was inseparable from Jiangnan!" When talking about this, he still looked indignant.

After a little thought, Li Ling quickly remembered a lawsuit a few years ago. It was what he saw when Xiang Daxing was storing documents from previous years when he was a Guanguan official in the Ministry of Revenue.

Five or six years ago, the civil and military battles between the Chinese and Chinese in the court were quite powerful, and the emperor only watched the wall, which annoyed the civil servants. So, with the acquiesce of several senior officials in the Political Affairs Hall, the transport envoy began to tamper with military rations and deliberately deducted them. Not only the troops stationed in various places, but also the border troops were cut off part of their food and salary.

When the military officers in the Privy Council started to make trouble, the civil servants pushed the blame to the disaster that year. Because in those one or two years, the two major provinces of Jiangnan, Huguang, did suffer from floods and locust plagues, resulting in a sharp decline in the treasury income, so it became natural that the Ministry of Revenue and the Transportation Department reduced military pay.

It was also after this that the military officers in the court were temporarily suppressed by civil servants, and they still couldn't turn over. After all, their food and clothing were all controlled by civil servants, so who could be hard? This was the storm that the Northern Frontier Army was defeated by Guirong three years ago. After all, the soldiers were resentful, and the military food transportation was not in place, so the battle was naturally unfavorable...

But the problem is that this situation has been perfectly solved with the concessions of the generals and the defeat in the northern border. Not only will the military pay be paid in full every year, but even the money and grain deducted before have been replenished, but when it comes to Liao Qinghui, that's not the case?

Li Ling thought quickly and then came up with the answer: "Tong Liao, have you ever thought that you have been deceived by others. The money and food you thought you had gotten by the flow of people and you should have given it to you, and you have been used by them."

"What do you mean?" Liao Qinghui was stunned. Although he was a rough man, he was definitely not a fool. Naturally, he could hear the meaning of this sentence, but it was just a little difficult to accept.

"Are the military pay from your Shanziying withdrawn from the government office?" Li Ling suddenly asked this question again.

Seeing Liao Qinghui nodding, he said again: "Then you didn't suspect that the shortage of money in recent years was not because the superiors yamen greed for you, but because the government officials were slandering them?"

"How is this possible? Why do they do this and why do they do it in vain?" Liao Qinghui's heart began to shake, but he still made the final struggle.

"Is it impossible? It seems that they have not received any benefits, but in fact, they have almost no price to obtain the friendship of you, the governor of the government with military power. In this way, they can unscrupulously plunder the benefits in Songjiang Palace and eat all the past prefects. Then the two of them, including their people, were full of energy, and you, Liao Dushi and your brothers, were grateful to them when they only got the salary they deserved, and sent troops to the city for them to fight with us."

Li Ling's words made the other party stunned. After a while, he turned his eyes to Li Youzhen: "Prime Minister Li Tong, is he taking this seriously?"

"Dutong Liao, don't listen to his nonsense. We only respect you, so there is no deception or exploitation! This is all he is sowing discord, and he is really sinister!" Li Youzhen immediately retorted loudly, his voice was urgent and sharp, and his face was even flushed. He could see beads of sweat rolling down.

Just as Liao Qinghui turned his suspicious eyes back to Li Ling's side, he immediately said: "Tong Liao, you have never thought about it. Since you have the same status and have cooperated to greed for public funds, why do you have only gained very little, but can they let the prefect find out the wealth of dozens or millions of taels of silver?"

"What?" Liao Qinghui changed color suddenly. This number really made him feel a considerable impact. The net worth of dozens or millions of taels of silver was a number he could never imagine. You should know that so many brothers in the Shanzi Camp could get less than 30,000 to 50,000 taels of military pay a year. The one he had received from the government office in the past few years was only 50,000 to 60,000 taels of silver...

At this time, the prefect Wei finally found an opportunity to interrupt and nodded: "Yes, I have asked someone to carefully count it just now. All the property that Yang Wanquan left in the city is as large as 970,000 to 80,000 taels, which does not include the property he has sent back to his hometown to hide."

Liao Qinghui's breathing suddenly became rapid, and his dangerous eyes looked at Li Youzhen again: "Prime Minister Li Tong..."

Li Youzhen shivered fiercely, and the sweat beads on her forehead immediately rolled down, making the final insistence: "Dutong Liao, don't listen to them nonsense. This matter is different. We finally got the money, and we have already distributed a large part of it for you..." Although he said this, his expression and his tone were no longer as calm as before, and he seemed particularly panicked.

This is a sign of guilt in being a thief. Even though he was as rough as Liao Qinghui, he could see his thoughts at a glance. His face suddenly became so gloomy that it could drip into water. His hands clenched into fists, and he was on the verge of explosion.

I was really fooled by them, just as Li Ling and the others said, this was sold by others, and I had to count the money for them and thank them. What a shame and humiliation!

Li Ling's voice came back at the right time: "If you don't believe what we said, you can check the accounts of the government office with me. This official once served in the Ministry of Revenue and still has a lot of experience in checking the accounts. Even if they have done some tricks, I can find out the problems one by one."

"No need!" Liao Qinghui was still self-aware of the accounts and it was useless even if he saw it. He believed in his fists more. So while saying this, his body turned around, took one step forward, and had already arrived in front of Li Youzhen, and rescued the person. He stared at him almost with his face and gritted his teeth and said, "Say, are you really playing tricks on me? If you dare to tell me another lie, I will tear you!" As he spoke, his other hand had already grasped the other person's shoulder, and it seemed that he could really exert force at any time to tear Li Tong in half.

Li Youzhen, who was already panicked, was even more jealous after being pulled by him. She could no longer force herself to lie and deceive her. She almost cried and shouted, "General, please spare my life, I... I was just confused for a moment, so I lied to you. It was Yang Wanquan, and it was Yang Wanquan who said that just give you this little money is enough, and you won't know anyway... I know I was wrong, I will give you all the money now, just ask the general to spare my life..."

As he cried and told the truth, Liao Qinghui's murderous aura became heavier, and his hands suddenly exerted force, pinching Li Tongzong's shoulders rattled, and his shoulder blades were almost shattered. He screamed even more, and his lower body was wet due to fear...

Seeing that the other party was on the verge of the outbreak, Li Ling was also nervous and quickly stopped him: "President Liao, please calm down. If you really want to kill him in court, you will not escape the blame! This person has committed numerous crimes, and the prefect and the court will deal with him. It is not worth your compensation for the past!" While speaking, he quickly signaled Li Moyun and the others to take action.

Li Moyun and Wan Shenji moved immediately, one of them pulled from behind and forced him to retreat and let go. The other one swept quickly, and finally rescued Li Youzhen, who had already been limp.
