Chapter 203 Borrowing a knife to kill people to determine the overall situation
The night was late and the night was bright again. In the commander's mansion, Lin Su slowly raised his head, his eyes shining brightly.
Although he didn't even raise his head while checking the accounts all night, had he ever felt sleepy?
Liu Dan also raised his head: "Your Excellency checked the accounts all night. You are really dedicated. Did you find any evidence of crime?"
Lin Suli ignored him and faced Ding E directly: "General Ding, summon the entire army to discuss matters in the school grounds!"
Ding E was slightly startled: "Mr. Lin, I wonder what the purpose of calling the entire army is?"
Lin Su stared at him coldly: "General Ding, how many times do I need to tell you before you understand what supervision is? If you don't understand, it doesn't matter, just follow orders!"
Ding E's eyes bulged, his hand suddenly raised, and a horn sounded from above.
The golden horn sounded and all the sergeants gathered.
On the school grounds, hundreds of thousands of troops gathered. The fog has not yet cleared, but the flags have been waved...
All the sergeants looked up at the high platform, including Lin Zheng. Lin Zheng stayed up all night and was so stimulated by his third brother that he couldn't sleep at all. Even so, he was still full of energy. The five thousand soldiers behind him were all like benchmarks, even if the number was smaller than that of others.
The other nine armies were reduced by 80%, but they still had the unparalleled glory of fighting for thousands of miles.
On the high platform, Ding E fell from the sky and stirred up a strong wind.
Liu Dan stepped in the air and landed on his left side.
On the right, a person walked over, it was Lin Su.
Lin Su walked up to the stage: "My fellow soldiers, I, the Inspector General of the Capital, Lin Su, heard that there was an incident at Xueyuguan that deducted soldiers' pay and military supplies, and came here to investigate. Now that we have found out, the report is true!"
All the sergeants were shocked and came for their military supplies and military pay?
Their calls finally reached the capital?
Everyone was excited.
Liu Dan looked on with cold eyes and didn't care at all. Embezzling military pay and military supplies? Go and ask, where is this not happening?
Is it strange?
You should sue me for this!
Lin Sudao: "Sergeant Xueyuguan gets four sets of underwear every year, but he gets one set every two years, with a deduction of 80%; the military rations are two kilograms per person per day, but in the hands of the soldiers, only 40 taels are left, with a deduction of 80%;
The weapons in the hands of the soldiers should have been replaced three years ago. Today, the money to replace the weapons has been put into the pockets of the generals on the stage, allowing our soldiers to fight the demon army with scraps of copper and iron, causing casualties and injuries.
countless……"
The sergeants below were all outraged!
Liu Dan on the high platform shouted: "What evidence do you have?"
"Evidence!" Lin Su sneered: "Liu Dan, you think you have people do the accounting very well and I can't find out, right? You think I can't find out your corruption because you don't list expenditure items? Last year, you didn't.
, you took a total of 1.2 million taels of silver from the military department. The total expenditure was only 350,000 taels, and the inventory was only 350,000 taels. Where did the other 850,000 taels go? Such childish corruption, how dare you do it to me?
Show off in front of others."
Liu Dan's expression suddenly changed.
1.2 million, 350,000, and inventory of 30,000. Just these few figures are enough to shock him speechless. You can sort out this mess of account books in just one night.
All the numbers? How is that possible?
His method of making false accounts is actually very primitive. He just doesn't list some illegally occupied items. People will never see the problem just by looking at the account books. But he doesn't understand the accounting principle, which is that the total revenue must be equal to
Total expenditure plus inventory.
Lin Sucai won't bother with you about any items. Subtracting total expenses and inventory from total revenue equals the amount you embezzled.
The sergeants below all exploded. The superior officials were corrupt and the soldiers were desperate. This was true in any border town, but there was so much corruption that it was still enough to detonate the whole place.
Liu Dan said coldly: "Master Lin wants to use this as evidence to impeach me to the military department?"
"Impeachment? Haha, you are thinking too much!" Lin Su said: "Today, I am going to kill you!"
The voice behind the last sentence was very low.
When Liu Dan heard this, he was suddenly shocked...
At this moment, Lin Su walked up to the front desk and with a slight stroke of his hand, on top of the mountain, "Killing with a Borrowed Knife" suddenly revealed endless mysteries...
The long sword in Ding E's hand suddenly lit up, and with a choking sound, the sword was unsheathed and slashed towards Liu Dan.
Liu Dan was shocked. Wen Xin suddenly moved and was about to cut through the air. But suddenly, the light of the broadsword became extremely fierce, like lightning and stone fire, and it cut straight down. With a chirp, Liu Dan's head fell to the ground, and blood filled the air like rain.
Half the sky.
This is the characteristic of great Confucianism.
The great scholar died, and there were ten miles of blood and tears...
The whole army was shocked.
The most surprised person was Lin Zheng.
Ding E actually killed Liu Dan and did it without asking any questions.
Ding E was also stunned, staring blankly at the long knife in his hand. Suddenly his hand trembled, and the long knife fell to the ground. He took two steps back, and his mighty face turned pale.
What's going on?
He seemed to have fallen into a fantasy just now. There was an enemy surprise attack in front of him. He swung his sword to kill the enemy, but the one he killed was Liu Dan who was on the high platform...
Lin Su stepped forward: "Ding E, you actually dare to kill the supervisor sent by the Ministry of War with a sword. You are brave and courageous. I admire you!"
"No...no..." Ding E kept backing away.
Lin Su sighed: "Dear sergeants, the culprit who embezzled military pay has been dealt with by General Ding in accordance with military law. Everyone can rest a little. Later, I will discuss with General Ding to make up for the military pay and military supplies you owe. Let's disperse.
Bar."
The whole army saluted together: "Thank you so much, General! Thank you so much, Mr. Supervisor!"
The military formation dispersed. On the high platform, Ding E looked at Liu Dan's body, his lips trembling...
Suddenly, Lin Su lightly tapped him on the shoulder. Ding E was shocked and raised his head...
"Ding E, Liu Dan is a direct descendant of Zhang Wenyuan. Now that you have killed him, how do you think Zhang Wenyuan will treat you?"
"It's you...it's you...you used the magic..." Ding E is not stupid, and now he knows what happened...
Haha! Lin Su laughed, who would believe it?
With a hundred thousand troops in front of you, everyone saw with their own eyes the sword in your hand and the fall of Liu Dan's head. I also recorded this great moment with my official seal.
Ding E's face turned pale: "You... what do you want?"
"It's not what I want to do, but what you will do!" Lin Su said: "When the general cuts the supervisory army with his sword, is it the supervisory army that he kills? No, what he cuts is the link between the Ministry of War and the army, and what he cuts is the control of the court. You Ding
When news of the General's deeds reaches the capital, His Majesty the Emperor has to ask, is General Ding planning to rebel? Then, the family members of the General in the capital should also join the Jiaofangsi."
Ding E's whole body was shocked: "Master Supervisor, help me!"
The commander of Xueyuguan, who always stood high in the sky like a giant, relented. Lin Su smiled: "The general was indeed stupid before, but now, he is still a bit smart and knows how to ask me! Okay,
I'll show you a clear path!"
Ding E seemed to have found a life-saving straw and asked the supervisor for advice.
Lin Su spoke...
You immediately light up the beacon tower and inform the world!
Liu Dan embezzled military pay, and the evidence was conclusive. He exploited the officers and soldiers of Xueyuguan, and the army was about to blow up the camp. At this critical moment, in order to protect the army from mutiny, we had to make a decisive decision and kill the culprit Liu Dan to calm the morale of the army...
Ding E nodded repeatedly, raised his hand and took out the commander's seal, lit the beacon, and incorporated what Lin Su said into the commander's seal word by word.
After everything was said, a pile of huge torches formed on the handsome seal, stretching for five thousand miles, straight into the capital...
All the officials were shocked. Beacon Tower?
What kind of big change happened? As soon as the official seal was connected, everyone was stunned...
In the capital, Zhang Wenyuan raised his eyes and was shocked, Beacon Tower? What happened somewhere? The connection was immediately connected. As soon as he entered, his face turned livid: Ding E! Damn it! Damn it!
You need to know that the beacon tower must not be used lightly unless the city is destroyed. Once used, it will be a shocking event. Everything is no longer a matter of the military, but is known to all officials, whether it is the capital, local officials or the emperor.
If you see it, it will spread even among the people.
Is there something you can't tell me directly? It was originally an internal matter within the Ministry of War, but you have to do this to let everyone in the world know?
You are going to turn against me. If you dare to kill the supervisors I sent out, and if you dare to expose the corruption of the supervisors to the world, aren't you just pointing your finger at me, Lao Zhang, and saying that I am corrupt and that I, the Minister of the Ministry of War, have neglected my duties?
?
How can the emperor spare me?
I'm going to kill you!
On top of the Golden Palace, His Majesty the Emperor stood up with a pale face and said: "How dare you embezzle so much military pay, dare to make mistakes, dare to provoke a mutiny in the army, dare to act recklessly, and you will never be redeemed by death...Zhang Wenyuan, old man! Get in!"
The emperor doesn't care much about general corruption. Anyway, those who are exploiting are only common people, and they can't always exploit the royal family. But things are not absolute. The border issues are the thorn in the emperor's heart. Anyone dares to reach out to the border sergeants.
, it means destroying his thousands of miles of land, and digging up his ancestral grave. This world is not other people’s world, but his emperor’s world...
Zhang Wenyuan's face was extremely gloomy, he knelt down and moved towards the golden palace step by step...
At Bloody Rain Pass, the message has been sent out, but Ding E is still in a daze...
Lin Su sighed beside him: "General Ding, are you too cruel? How about you report directly to the Ministry of War on military matters? Why did you build a beacon tower? As soon as the beacon tower lights up, the emperor,
All officials and county officials at all levels know where you asked the Minister of War to put his face? Aren't you trying to dig up his ancestral grave?"
Ding E's hands trembled violently, and he almost dropped his handsome seal. He looked at Lin Su with two huge eyes: "Sir, this is in accordance with your instructions..."
Lin Sudao: "General Ding, please don't accuse me wrongly. I didn't say anything... Now that you show your hand, Zhang Wenyuan will hate you to the core and will kill you soon."
you……
Ding E's eyes were fierce and he stared at Lin Su, wanting to eat him.
Lin Su stared into his eyes and said: "What's the matter, General Ding? You still want to kill me? You are really stupid. Zhang Wenyuan already wants to cut you into pieces. How dare you offend me? Let's work together.
, you are a small border commander, but you can leave a little bit of scum, so you are really talented."
Ding E's eyes slowly closed, and he suddenly knelt down with a bang: "Mr. Lin, the last general once followed Master Zhang and treated your brother quite unfairly. Today, his life is on the line. I know that I am unable to break out of the encirclement. I hope you will ignore the past grudges."
, use a clever plan to save my Ding family, from now on, only the great generals will obey!"
"Have you really figured it out?"
"This heart can be learned from the sun!"
Lin Su sighed: "Based on what you have done, I really want to kill you, but who told me to be a gentle man? Who told me to learn the way of sages? Hey, forget it... you tell me
Take the oath of heaven!"
Ding E raised the knife in his hand, half of his fingers flew to the sky, and his bloody fingers pointed directly at the sky: "I, Ding E, swear an oath of heaven, as long as Mr. Lin Su saves my Ding clan, Ding E will obey Mr. Lin Su's orders from now on.
I will live and die without regrets, as I swear by the law of heaven!"
A bright light appeared in the sky, which represented the validity of his oath.
Okay! Lin Su started to speak like a lotus...
In fact, even though Zhang Wenyuan has murderous intentions for you, he does not dare to act rashly. You have just killed the supervisor. If he kills you back now, he will be convicted of using the supervisor to embezzle military pay. Zhang Wenyuan is an old traitor.
Ju Hua will definitely not do something with such a low IQ. Therefore, not only will he not take action against you, but he will praise you for your prompt decision-making and timely handling. And that unjust dead ghost Liu Dan must be the first
Time cutting.
From now on, he will naturally wear some small shoes for you, but so what? Does he still dare to deduct your military pay and military supplies? As long as he dares to deduct it, you will light the beacon tower directly like you did today! Let Your Majesty deal with him.
You have a lot of troops and are in a border town. As long as you don't rebel, what can he do to you? Of course, he will soon send the supervisor to Xueyuguan again. You have to completely ignore the supervisor. If he doesn't listen, find an excuse.
Kill him, just kill two or three, and no one will dare to come. Even if they come, it will only be for show, and they will not dare to interfere in military affairs...
He also gave two clever tricks to kill the supervisors. Ding E was truly convinced. No wonder military generals always fail to defeat civil servants. These civil servants have carved intestines in their stomachs...
Lin Su clapped his hands: "Okay, it's been a day since we arrived in the border town. Now you have to arrange a reception banquet for me. Call my eldest brother and second brother here."
Lin Zheng and Lin Jialiang were invited, and they were really worried. Ding E was Zhang Wenyuan's man and the border commander. He had just killed Liu Dan in public and caused such a huge disturbance. As the saying goes, there is no good banquet, so he suddenly summoned them.
, will he chop off their heads? Has the third brother been captured by him? Offering the heads of the three Lin brothers as a gift to Zhang Wenyuan may be the only way to resolve this crisis.
But as soon as they entered, they were surprised.
Their third brother, Lin Su, was sitting in the first place with a golden sword, and the border commander Ding E carefully accompanied him with a smile.
Lin Su smiled slightly: "Eldest brother, second brother, General Ding has sworn the oath of heaven. Only if you follow my orders, you can be regarded as one of our own."
The two brothers staggered and almost fell down...
Lin Jialiang and Lin Zheng were not satisfied with the food. They did not expect this to be the case.
Even if Lin Jialiang knew Lin Su's methods best, the best result he could imagine was that Lin Su, General Ding, and Liu Dan would form some kind of check and balance, and be somewhat wary of each other, so that his elder brother would not suffer terrible consequences at the border.
of suppression.
But now, Lin Su took action, and the result was not at all what he imagined.
Liu Dan was killed directly.
Ding E made an oath of heaven and followed the Lin family!
The shackles on Lin Zheng's head have been completely and completely broken. Not only will he not be suppressed, it can even be said that he is the commander-in-chief behind the bloody storm.
