The soldiers swarmed forward and immediately controlled the confused logistics soldiers. Two soldiers stood at the door of each warehouse, watching eagerly.
No matter how stupid the logistics soldiers are, they understand that something is bad. This must be General Gao Kan’s intention to thoroughly investigate the logistics. They all follow Helan Chushi back and forth to purchase, how can they not know the tricks involved? Helan Chushi also knows that these things cannot be avoided.
Because of human eyesight, they were very generous with these logistics soldiers. Each and every one of them took advantage of Helan Chushi. As long as they were thoroughly investigated, few of them could escape.
Although he was panicked, he still had some confidence. After all, Helan Chushi was a relative recommended by Fang Jun. As Fang Jun single-handedly promoted Gao Kan, who had grown from a soldier to a general in just a few years, how could he be merciful?
Not even given?
Even if it is thoroughly investigated that Helan Chushi is indeed embezzling military resources, he will probably be lenient. At worst, he will be fined and expelled from the army. Even the little shrimps like them will not be dealt with by military law...
Feeling a little calmer, I stood there obediently, waiting for news from the Chinese army.
…
Helan Chushi rode all the way to the Chinese army's tent and saw a crowd of people outside the tent, including many captains and soldiers. He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, is something big happening?
After he got off his horse and came to the outside of the tent, a soldier said: "The general has an order. Captain Helan can enter the tent immediately without any notification after his arrival."
Helan Chushi nodded, straightened his clothes, and walked into the tent.
"Big Tent" is a popular name in the military. When marching outside, tents need to be set up. However, this is a military camp outside Xuanwu Gate. They are all barracks. "Zhongjun Tent" is just a relatively tall and wide tent.
House...
Although glass windows were installed, the light in the room was still a little dim. More than ten people were standing or sitting, seemingly discussing something. When Helan Chushi came in, they almost closed their mouths at the same time.
This atmosphere made Helan Chushi's heart skip a beat, feeling a little unusual...
"Captain Helan is here," Gao Kan greeted from behind the desk, and then said to Cen Changqian next to him: "If you have anything to say, you can tell yourself."
Helan Chushi felt uneasy. He stepped forward to salute and then looked at Cen Changqian. He knew that this young man who was not yet weak was the nephew of Cen Wenwen, the former Zhongshu Ling.
He favored him very much and focused on cultivating him. His Majesty even praised him as a "thousand-mile horse" several times...
"I wonder what Chief Cen's orders are?"
"Haha, Captain Helan, don't be nervous," Cen Changqian nodded with a smile, "With the establishment of Jinwu Guards, various positions and facilities will inevitably have flaws. Therefore, in compliance with the requirements of the Ministry of War, an investigation will be launched into all levels of the military.
We should give advance warning of various problems that may arise and deal with them afterwards. After all, the Jinwu Guards on the left and right are the emperor's personal troops guarding the capital and guarding the imperial palace. There is no room for carelessness."
Helan Chushi swallowed hard, feeling that a disaster might be imminent.
Sure enough, Cen Changqian continued: "In view of the large number of Jinwu Guards on the left and right, countless baggage is consumed every day, so the army decided to check from these logistics baggage to see if there are any unreasonable purchases and consumption in the daily life.
However, Captain Helan does not need to worry. It is difficult to ensure that such a large amount of baggage is accurate. Therefore, even if there are some discrepancies, they are within a reasonable range. They will only be regulated in the future and will not necessarily be punished.
"
boom!
Helan Chushi only felt that his heart was hit hard by something, and his head was buzzing.
I have handled so much logistics and supplies, so I naturally know how much I have been greedy for. Is that "some discrepancy"?
It's "very different"...
Cen Changqian stood up with a bright smile: "Colonel Helan, please."
Helan Chushi even forgot to say goodbye to Gao Kan, and followed Cen Changqian out of the Chinese army tent with some numbness. There was still a trace of luck in his heart. After all, both Gao Kan and Cen Changqian were brought up by Fang Jun, and they were Fang Jun just like himself.
The "confidant" may be able to look at this point of affection and look on the Internet. As Cen Changqian said, it is just a formality, nothing more...
However, when the group arrived at the warehouse, someone brought in the account books, and Cen Changqian checked the materials in the warehouse one by one, and the last bit of luck in Helan Chushi's heart was completely shattered.
If you know your own accounts well, how can you withstand such scrutiny?
Regardless of the fact that he was sweating profusely, Helan Chushi was frightened. He tugged on Cen Changqian's sleeves and whispered with a smile: "Cen Changshi, please take a step to speak."
Cen Changqian did not refuse, she followed him a few steps to one side with a smile and looked for someone else, and said warmly: "Captain Helan, is there something wrong?"
"You and I are all subordinates of the Duke of Yue. We have received the grace of the Duke of Yue and we should work together to repay the kindness. At present, the Duke of Yue is in a difficult situation. If something like this happens to us again, wouldn't it be a sacrifice for our loved ones?
Pain makes enemies happy? I hope Cen Changshi will be noble and accommodating."
Cen Changqian smiled half-heartedly: "How should I raise this hand?"
Helan Chushi perked up, and Cen Changqian naturally didn't know how to "raise a hand." The reason why he asked this question obviously had another meaning.
He immediately looked around and saw that everyone was too far away to hear the conversation between the two, so he lowered his voice, stretched out his right hand and made a "five" gesture. He leaned into Cen Changqian's ear and said, "I won't let Cen Changqian
Shi Pingbai took the risk, and I am not a person who is ignorant of current affairs. If I pass the test this time, I will reward you with five thousand guans. In addition, in the future, whenever I earn a penny, I will have Cen Chang Shi Sancheng to send him to the mansion regularly.
.Don’t be too little, after all, there are still 40% to be sent to the Duke of Yue... As an official, you naturally can’t suffer yourself. Since we have this convenience now, why not make it easier for each other? "
I felt extremely heartbroken. The so-called "give Fang Jun 40%" was pure nonsense, but I was afraid that Cen Changqian would refuse, so I used Fang Jun's tiger skin as a banner to make Cen Changqian eliminate her worries and accept his share of the share calmly.
I have worked so hard to correct the accounts and plunder, but I have to share 30% of the profits. It is really uncomfortable. However, the current crisis is serious. As long as I can make it, I have to use inducements...
Cen Changqian stood with her hands behind her hands, still smiling on her face, and said slowly: "Buying the chief official with money and silk is considered bribery and corruption, and lying to the Duke of Yue for 30% of his corruption gains is frame-up. Coupled with corruption and dereliction of duty, it is several crimes.
Do you know what the consequences will be if you are punished together?"
Helan Chushi was a little panicked and didn't even want the money?
His legs were already trembling, he forced himself to calm down, and said with a smile: "We are all our own family members, why do we need to kill them all like this? Cen Changshi also asked to be more generous. I promise to hand over all the family property and never do it again from now on."
Cen Changqian sighed softly: "If I had known today, why did I do it in the first place?"
Someone walked quickly from a distance, glanced at Helan Chushi with cold eyes, and then said: "Qi Changshi, the accounts have been written off, and the various materials stored in the warehouse have been compared. The amount of corruption is very huge.
When we get down, we need to go to various places where supplies are purchased to verify the accounts and obtain witness statements.”
Cen Changqian nodded and ordered: "Let's do it quickly. In addition, we will inform you that logistics involves the entire army. Even if corruption is investigated, it cannot affect the supply of military supplies. All accounts will be sealed. There is no need to keep certificates for materials in the warehouse. They can be taken at will."
Use as you please.”
"Here!"
Cen Changqian looked back at Helan Chushi and said calmly: "The matter has come to this, sophistry is just adding trouble. Leave yourself some dignity. I will suggest General Gao to resolve the matter within the Jinwu Guard. If he has to send it to the Guard,
Weisi, not only will your fate be bad, the commander-in-chief will also be disgraced."
The stone surface of Helan Chu is as earth-colored, and it is indescribable.
Everyone who makes mistakes is actually a person who challenges the rules. No one knows the rules better than them. If they don’t know the rules, how can they challenge the rules?
Corruption has always been a major case. Once a corruption incident is discovered in the Sixteenth Guards Army, it falls under the jurisdiction of the Weiwei Temple, which is equivalent to the "Dali Temple in the military". There is a complete set of military laws to rule on corruption incidents.
At the very least, one has to be dismissed from the military, and the state institutions will never be used again. In slightly more serious cases, one will be exiled from the army. The vast sea, the Western Regions, Southern Xinjiang, Liaodong... are all bitter and cold places, and it is difficult to come back alive.
And Helan Chushi knew very well that his style, influence, and even the amount of corruption were enough to be sentenced to death.
If you meet a stern Wei Qing, your home may be confiscated...
How can you be willing to bow your head and admit guilt like this?
Wiping the cold sweat on his face, Helan Chushi begged: "Can you give me a chance to plead with Duke Yue?"
The only possibility that can break the desperate situation is to ask Fang Jun to take action. Since Wu Shunniang can ask for this position for him in front of Fang Jun, she must also be able to ask for a chance to start over.
After all, Wu Shunniang is Helan Yueshi's wife. Although Helan Yueshi is dead, Wu Shunniang is still the daughter-in-law of the Helan family... Since Fang Jun has occupied the Helan family's daughter-in-law, taking whatever she wants and playing with him as he pleases, then for Helan
Isn’t it natural for the family to contribute some effort?
Cen Changqian sighed and tried to be as tactful as possible: "Do you think that if you go in front of the Duke of Yue, the Duke of Yue will be able to interfere with military law and use power for personal gain? You are also aware of the current situation. I don't know how many people want to bring down the commander-in-chief. What about you?
If the matter is handled without the commander's knowledge, it is difficult for outsiders to say anything. However, if it is handled by the commander, in order to avoid being criticized, reported, or even impeached, the commander can only kill relatives strictly, strictly and quickly.
Deal with it seriously, so I don’t recommend you do that.”
Helan Chushi's face was earth-colored, and he was weighing and tangled in his heart. He felt that what Cen Changqian said was right.
Cen Changqian smiled warmly and patted Helan Chushi on the shoulder: "When you have reached this point, you can't blame others. You can just bear the mistakes you have made. No matter what, with the relationship of the commander-in-chief, you only need to survive the current disaster.
, you still don’t know how you will make a comeback in the future, but if you hate the commander-in-chief, you will really have no way out."
Helan Chushi understood that these words were actually good words, but how could he be willing to ruin his future in this way?
He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "If I am guilty and have meritorious service, can I be given a lighter sentence?"
Cen Changqian asked curiously: "Do you still have any accomplices?"
Helan Chushi shook his head: "It's not about this, but someone secretly colluded with Guanlong's old department, secretly gathering armor, bows and crossbows, and plotting against evil..."
