"Dou Sheng, sit down. sit down." Li Luo raised his eyebrows and called him by his name.
When Dou Sheng heard this, he knew that Li Luo was angry and hurriedly sat down.
He said softly: "General, I don't know where these people came from. It doesn't matter whether they are prefects or not. They may be here to disturb the morale of the army. If this spreads, it will not be good for the reputation of the general."
Li Luo glanced at Dou Sheng, ignored him, turned to Ou Yumu and said, "Do you know what you are talking about? If it is true, that's fine. If it is not true, if it disturbs the morale of the army and slanders the commander in chief, I can punish you."
capital crime."
Ou Qinghan hurriedly knelt down and said, "General, please calm down. It's all because the subordinates failed to discipline them well. If the general wants to punish him, then he should punish the subordinates."
Ou Yumu glanced at Li Luo strangely and knelt down on the ground, and the two people behind him also knelt down.
Li Luo's face was gloomy, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking. The generals were extremely surprised. They didn't want anyone to pretend to be Li Luo's name and make money. No wonder Li Luo was so angry.
After a while, Li Luo said slowly: "Tell me the whole story in detail."
"General, the people of the mountains and plains are ignorant of etiquette and slander the general. I heard that the guards dragged them out and beat them to death with sticks. It seems that these common people still dare to be so presumptuous. General Liu, what do you think?" Dou Sheng said hurriedly.
Liu Ce glanced at Dou Sheng and said nothing. Li Luohan said in a loud voice: "Did the dignified magistrate Dagan, a fourth-grade official, just beat him to death? General Dou is so disruptive, could it be that the person who borrowed his name is
you?"
Dou Sheng was shocked and said hurriedly: "The general has been wronged. How dare you, the general?"
"If you don't, just shut up." Li Luo shouted.
Dou Sheng's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he sat aside and stopped talking. Several people in the tent were paying attention to Dou Sheng, and when they saw the murderous intent flashing in his eyes, they all shook their heads secretly.
Li Luo said to Ou Qinghan: "Master Magistrate, please tell me."
"Yes, yes, I'll be the official." But he stuttered nervously again. Li Luo frowned slightly, turned to Ou Yumu and said, "Miss Ou, tell me."
"Yes," Ou Yumu collected his thoughts.
He replied: "General, the day before yesterday, the prefect led a crowd to welcome the Western Expedition army and prayed for the soldiers of the Western Expedition. However, the treasury was empty and we really couldn't come up with a decent tribute. After the army passed, a gift list was passed from the army, which is
We were asked to prepare the tribute according to the gift list. We sent people from the army to collect it within three days, but after searching Qiquan Mansion, we could only collect less than 30%. General, please forgive the tribute from Qiquan Mansion in case of natural disasters this year.
Feng." After saying that, he kowtowed deeply to Li Luo.
"Bring the gift list." Li Luo said calmly.
"Yes." Ou Yumu turned to the man kneeling behind him and said, "Uncle Huang."
The man responded, took out a box from his arms, and presented it with both hands. Ni Qing took it, opened it, inspected it, and handed it to Li Luo.
Li Luo took out the gift list from the box and read it over. There was no emotion or anger on his face. He handed it to Dou Sheng who was sitting next to him and said, "Read it."
Dou Sheng took it and looked at it, with a sarcastic look on his face: "There is only a gift note and signature, but no military seal. Where did you find this gift note to frame the general?"
"Read it!" Li Luo said in a thicker voice.
Dou Sheng snorted coldly, quite dissatisfied, and said: "One hundred thousand taels of silver, one thousand taels of gold, one hundred pieces of fine silk, one hundred pairs of jade bracelets, one hundred pieces of jade ornaments, ten thousand dans of grain, five maids
name."
All the generals in the tent took a breath of cold air. The amount of this gift list is not ordinary. Even the richest county in Dagan may not be able to hand over so much tribute in a year. It still needs good weather.
When there are no natural disasters**.
Dou Sheng threw the gift list aside and sneered: "This is just to fool people. I think they are just trying to get food from the army, so they use this tactic of retreating in order to advance."
"Oh? Why doesn't Dou Shuai suspect that these people are fake prefects?" Huchajing mocked from the side.
Dou Sheng glanced at Hu Chajing coldly and said to Li Luo: "General, the matter has become clear. These people must have made this move for the sake of food and grass. General, please don't be deceived by them."
After hearing this, Liu Ce frowned and thought to himself how could such a stupid person exist. Li Luo was not a three-year-old child. As expected, Li Luo didn't even turn his head after hearing this. He stared at Ou Yumu and asked, "How to prove it?"
Ou Yumu had sensed that something was wrong just now, and it was confirmed that he had caused a big disaster. However, in this situation, there was no need to cover up anymore.
He said: "General, we have seen two of the people who brought the gifts. They were on the spot when the army prayed. The remaining clothes were all the same as those in the army. And not only a few of us saw it, but also the least in the mansion.
There were dozens of people who could see it clearly."
"Tell me what the uniforms worn by the soldiers look like."
Ou Yumu carefully depicts the military uniforms worn by each general.
Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that the person holding the gift list was the guard of King Huai, and the soldiers accompanying the guard of King Huai were wearing Chinese military uniforms.
Although the military uniforms of various departments in the Chinese army are roughly the same, there are some differences in subtleties. According to Ou Yumu's description, it is precisely the uniforms of Dou Sheng's troops that are the same.
Dou Sheng said angrily: "Bold madmen, you dare to slander me, believe it or not, I will kill you." After saying this, he drew out the long sword from his waist with a clang.
"Bold." Ni Qing shouted, drew his long knife and rushed towards him.
Dou Sheng was annoyed and was about to speak when suddenly his chest felt cold. He looked back and saw that Chu Ying'er had arrived behind him at some point and was looking at him coldly. Dou Sheng had no doubt at all that if he didn't give up the sword, he would
There will definitely be blood splattered on the spot. All the generals in the tent also stood up one after another, with their hands on their swords.
Dou Sheng threw down the sword in his hand and cried on the ground: "General, the general is innocent. The general must help the general to clear his grievances."
Li Luo was sitting in the commanding position. He didn't even blink when the generals drew their swords. He took a sip from the tea cup and said slowly: "General Dou, Miss Ou and you have never met each other, let alone seen you in the army.
How could a soldier accuse you unjustly when we meet him? Besides, if you can find out about this kind of thing at the first glance, who can be wronged?"
Dou Sheng stayed in the tent and didn't know what to say for a moment. Li Luo said to Liu Ce: "Liu Ce, the Chinese army."
"The general is here." Liu Ce stepped forward and saluted.
"Order 500 Youzhou troops and 500 Muzhou cavalry. Ni Qing and Zhu Zhi will lead the army to Qiquan Mansion to find out the whole story for me."
"General, I obey." Liu Ce saluted, glanced at Dou Sheng, turned around and left the tent, and Ni Qing and Zhu Zhi followed.
"If you saw him face to face, would you still be able to recognize the person who asked for your property that day?" Li Luo turned to the people in Qiquan Mansion and asked.
Ou Qinghan already understood that he was caught in a power struggle in the army. He trembled and said incoherently: "General, please calm down. My daughter Yumu is good at playing chess, calligraphy and painting, and her appearance is not bad. I will serve you as a maid for the general."
General, I hope that the general will be exempted from these tributes for the sake of his daughter."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hucha Dongchan snorted coldly and said angrily: "Shameless."
Ou Yumu's face turned red when Ou Qinghan said she wanted to be Li Luo's maid. He suddenly heard a female voice in the camp and looked up in surprise, only to see a female general looking at Ou Qinghan with an angry look on her face.
When he was talking to Li Luo just now, Ou Yumu didn't dare to look around. He didn't expect that there would be a female general in the army, but this female general was more beautiful than him. He thought that his appearance was already a gift, but he didn't know that this female general was more beautiful than him.
She is actually more beautiful than herself, and even more heroic.
Lightning flashed in Ou Yumu's mind, and he hurriedly said: "Sister, you have misunderstood. My adoptive father treats me with great kindness and has always regarded me as his own. Today's proposal was made by Yumu himself and has nothing to do with my adoptive father."
"What a man you treat as your own." Li Luoleng shouted: "If someone in our army is corrupt and bends the law, I will investigate and deal with it. As a father, you are supposed to protect your family. How can you send your children away casually? What happened?
Things are against the will of heaven. You can fight, you can fight, you can fight, but how can you give away your own daughter? Even if you seek temporary peace, if there is a next time, what else will you give? Li Luo has always believed that in his position, he is planning
The truth is, you are a father, and you are also the parents and officials of the people. If you can give away your own daughter, will you give away the children of the people who regard you as their father tomorrow?"
All living beings are equal. I am a human being, and your daughter is also a human being. Why is my life more valuable than hers? If you dare to give it away, don’t you dare to fight for it? "
Ou Qinghan sat down on the ground, dumbfounded. Ou Yumu, with tears in his pretty eyes, stared at Li Luo blankly, without saying a word for a long time.
"Hucha Jing."
"The general is here." When Huchajing heard Li Luo mentioning him, he hurriedly stood up and responded.
"Assemble the entire Muzhou cavalry of the Chinese army to monitor the army's tent and find those who are using my name to make money."
"Yes." Huchajing said loudly.
"General, I will also gather the troops and find the traitors." Dou Sheng saw this and said hurriedly.
Li Luo glanced at it and said calmly: "No, you will come with me to supervise the army's tent later. Shi Chong."
"The end will be here." Shi Chong took a step forward and said.
"The right wing is ready for battle. If there is any commotion in the army, I will take it down."
"General, take your orders." Shi Chong saluted, turned around and followed Cha Jing out of the tent.
"What about me?" Hucha Dongchan asked anxiously.
Li Luo smiled lightly and said, "Take the two girls and go to supervise the military camp together."
Everyone was well prepared and called Cha Jing to report that Zuo Feng was ready and could capture the traitor at any time. Li Luo nodded and shouted: "Let's go."
Li Luo opened the tent curtain, and Li Luo didn't wear a raincoat. Ni Bai led out the horse, and Li Luo got on the horse. The rain outside the tent had become much lighter, but it was foggy and white.
Everyone was about to pass by when they saw Liu Ce galloping towards him. When they saw Li Luo, they were slightly startled and said, "General, what is this?"
