"Now Xue Yi has long been beheaded, and the Zhao family is also being held accountable. Although the Wen family is not affected much on the surface, everyone knows it. I'm afraid even the Holy One knows it."
"He Zhang Mingxin is just a poor guy who came from a poor family. He only got where he is today thanks to your promotion as a commander. He has no connections behind him and can’t make any waves.”
Zhuo Dingsheng comforted An Leiting. .
"Yeah." An Leiting nodded, brows uncomfortable.
He knows all these words, and he has heard them a lot during this period. He even repeats them to himself from time to time to comfort himself.
But he still felt very unsettled in his heart, always feeling that something would happen.
And it’s a big deal.
But judging from the current situation, it feels like nothing will happen.
Is it possible that he is really worrying too much?
This piece of Mingxin is just a cry before death...
Just when An Leiting was feeling uneasy, someone from the army came.
He is the ceremonial officer sent by the emperor to convey the decree.
An Leiting and others were all shocked. They didn't know why the emperor would issue an edict at this time, but they still knelt down and bowed respectfully according to etiquette to welcome the edict.
"Long live my emperor."
After the uniform voice, the official who announced the decree cleared his throat, "The commander of the Shenwu Army, An Jingzhong, paid no attention to the imperial court in vain. According to the laws and regulations of the army, taking advantage of one's position, one takes bribes and bends the law on the medicinal materials needed by the army, enriching one's own pockets. This is an evil act that regards the lives of the officers and soldiers as a trivial matter, and requires heavy punishment to stabilize the morale of the army!"< br>
"I am removing An Jingzhong from the post of commander of the Shenwu Army in order to uphold military law. The commander in charge, An Leiting, is incompetent in discipline and will be fined one year's salary as a punishment. I appreciate this!"
End of reading! After the imperial edict, everyone's expressions suddenly changed.
Especially An Leiting, whose face was almost gloomy and dripping with water.
The matter has been settled for a long time. Why is there an imperial edict to punish An Jingzhong at this time?
Moreover, he has always claimed to the outside world that everything was done by Zhang Mingxin. Zhang Mingxin never confessed An Jingzhong in public. The entire army no longer mentioned An Jingzhong was related to this matter. Why did the emperor Directly convicted An Jingzhong?
After thinking for a long time and still not getting an answer, An Leiting bowed his hands to the ceremonial officer and said, "I have already found out everything about the case of embezzlement of military supplies and medicinal materials, and reported the matter to the Holy Father in detail. This matter has nothing to do with Quanzi." Related, why does the Holy Spirit still punish Quan Zi? "< br>
"Xiaguan only brought the Holy Majesty's decree during this trip. The rest of the matter is not clear to me." Li Guan said, "But the Holy Majesty also asked me to bring some things and asked me to hand them over to the box. Commander."
After that, he raised his hand.
The attendant behind him immediately took out a wooden box and offered it with both hands.
An Leiting took it over without knowing why.
The wooden box is not big. When you open it, you will find a thick stack of paper inside.
Looking at them one by one, An Leiting's face became more and more ugly little by little.
Those papers are not lying around, they are opened account books. The account books record in detail the detailed amount of Xue Yi's supply of medicinal materials to the army, as well as the share of silver allocated to An Jingzhong, and each The pages are all stamped with An Jingzhong's seal.
These can be said to be irrefutable evidence that An Jingzhong is corrupt!
The emperor ordered people to bring these things over together with the imperial edict, in order to let him know the reason and be convinced?
"The decree and things have been delivered, so I won't stay much longer and leave first." The courtesy officer handed over his hand.
"Thank you." An Leiting was very upset because of An Jingzhong's incident, and he had no intention of entertaining him at the moment, so he sent all the etiquette officers and his entourage out.
Seeing that An Leiting had no intention of staying, the courtesy officer drooped his eyelids.
Although the decree they brought this time was punishment rather than reward, An Leiting was inevitably unhappy, but after all, they were people close to the emperor and served in the capital. There is no cleansing banquet, which is really unreasonable. Even if he wants to leave, An Leiting should stay.
At the very least, you should have an attitude.
This Anjia is not good at doing things!
It seems that he still has a lot to say after returning to Beijing.
The ceremony officer snorted coldly, put his hands behind his back and left.
An Leiting returned to the camp with the imperial edict and the wooden box. After putting the things down, he immediately slapped An Jingzhong in the face.
The slap came so fast and hard that An Jingzhong's eyes were filled with stars and his mouth was filled with sweetness.
An Jingzhong was in pain, half of his face was red and swollen, and he looked at An Leiting with aggrieved face, "Father, I don't know where these account books came from. I have never covered them with my own." Seal!"
"You haven't stamped it, why are these things with your seal?" An Leiting shouted angrily.
You are so careless and careless in doing things, and you still want to be greedy for ink, without even looking at whether you have those two brushes!
"This..." An Jingzhong was speechless, and then shook his head like a rattle to defend himself, "I really don't know! Although I took money from it, I don't look down on Xue Yi's profit-seeking behavior at all. How can a merchant stamp his private seal on such an account book? ”
An Leiting was silent for a while after hearing this.
He knew his son very well. He was indeed a man with eyes above his head.
The chapter on this account book is indeed a bit strange.
"Have you kept this private seal to yourself and never given it to anyone else?" An Leiting asked.
Leave it to someone else?
An Jingzhong suddenly thought of something and said hurriedly, "Zhang Mingxin took this chapter!"
"Why did you give the chapter to him?" An Leiting frowned.
“When I learned that my father had sent people to check the medicinal materials for military supplies, Zhang Mingxin said that it was best to redo the list of medicinal materials sent to the military camp to ensure that everything was safe, so he took my stamp and went to the hospital for half a day. Kungfu..."
"I sent someone to check on the military supplies and medicinal materials?" An Leiting frowned more and more.
He didn't care about the matter at the time and just let An Jingzhong handle it by himself. It wasn't until rumors spread among the army and the morale of the army was unstable that he called An Jingzhong to him.
Then Xiao Luoan arrived. He learned that the matter was related to the Wen family, and quickly pushed Zhang Mingxin out as a scapegoat.
He handled this matter quickly and quickly. Why did An Jingzhong say that he sent someone to investigate the matter of military supplies and medicinal materials?
Seeing the confusion on An Leiting's face, An Jingzhong also widened his eyes, "Didn't my father send Lu Qiyan to investigate the matter of military supplies and medicinal materials?"
"There is no such thing." An Leiting opened his mouth to deny it.
"Didn't father send Lu Qiyan to investigate the matter of military supplies?" An Jingzhong almost jumped up, "But Lu Qiyan kept saying that it was his father who sent him to investigate the matter. It was precisely because Lu Qiyan said so. , Zhang Mingxin and I made preparations early and were ready to blame the warehouse custodians and military doctors for everything!”
An Leiting paused for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Pass Lu Qiyan!"
He wanted to ask why Lu Qiyan lied and pretended about this matter!
What on earth do you have in mind! (End of this chapter)
