Chapter 1,524 The incident in the east window
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 still understand that something is wrong. This must be General Gao Kan's intention to thoroughly investigate the logistics. They all followed Helan Chushi back and forth to buy things. How could they not know the tricks involved? Helan Chushi also knew that these things could not be avoided, so he was very generous with these logistics soldiers. Everyone took advantage of Helan Chushi. As long as they were thoroughly investigated, few of them could escape.
Although he was panic-stricken, he still had some confidence. After all, Helan Chushi was a relative recommended by Fang Jun. As Gao Kan, who was single-handedly promoted by Fang Jun and grew 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 confiscated and expelled from the military. Even the little shrimps like them will not be dealt with by military law...
Feeling a little calmer in my heart, I stood there honestly, 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, did something big happen?
After he got off his horse and came outside the tent, a soldier said: "The general has an order. Captain Helan can enter the tent immediately without any notification after he arrives."
Helan Chushi nodded, straightened his clothes, and stepped 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 closed their mouths almost 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, there are inevitably deficiencies in all positions and facilities. Therefore, in compliance with the requirements of the Ministry of War, an investigation will be launched into all levels of the military. Warn in advance and deal with any problems that may arise. After all, the Jinwu Guards on the left and right are the emperor's personal troops guarding the capital and Suwei Palace, and there is no room for carelessness. "
Helan Chushi swallowed hard, feeling that a disaster might be coming.
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 start with these logistic baggage checks to see if there are any unreasonable purchases and consumption in the day-to-day. phenomenon. However, Captain Helan does not need to worry. It is difficult to ensure that such a large amount of baggage is accurate, so even if there are some discrepancies, they are within a reasonable range and 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 a little numbly. 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 and someone brought in the account books, and Cen Changqian checked the materials in the warehouse one by one, the last bit of luck in Helan Chushi's heart was completely shattered.
I know my own accounts well, how can I withstand such verification?
Ignoring the fact that he was sweating profusely, Helan Chushi was frightened, 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 asked someone else, saying warmly: "Captain Helan, is there something wrong?"
"You and I are all subordinates of the Duke of Yue. We have received the favor of the Duke of Yue. 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? It hurts and the enemy is quick? 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 and stretched out his right hand to make a "five" gesture. She leaned into Cen Changqian's ear and said, "I won't let Cen Changshi Ping take the risk in vain. I am not a person who is ignorant of current affairs. If you pass the test this time, I will thank you with five thousand guan. In addition, in the future, I will earn a penny from you." , there must also be 30% Cen Changshi, Don't be too little, after all, there are still 40% to be sent to the Duke of Yue... Naturally, you can't bear the hardship of being an official. Since you have this convenience now, why not make it easier for each other? "< br>
She felt extremely heartbroken. The so-called "giving 40% to Fang Jun" was pure nonsense, but she was afraid that Cen Changqian would refuse, so she 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 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 no choice but to induce him...
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 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 members of our own family, 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 bother in the beginning?"
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 compared with the various materials stored in the warehouse, the amount of corruption is very huge. Next, we need to go to various places where supplies are purchased to verify the accounts and obtain witness statements.”
Cen Changqian nodded and ordered: "Hurry up and do it. In addition, we will inform you that logistics involves the entire army. Even if the corruption matter is investigated, it cannot affect the supply of military supplies. All accounts will be sealed. There is no need to keep certificates for the materials in the warehouse. They can be taken at will." Use it as you like.”
"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 you have to send it to the Guard, Weisi, not only will your fate be bad, the commander will also be disgraced.”
The stone surface of Helan Chu is as earth-colored, and it is indescribable.
Everyone who makes mistakes is actually someone 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 Army". There is a complete set of military laws to rule on corruption incidents.
At the very least, they would have to be dismissed from their military positions and never be used in state institutions; in the more serious cases, they would be sent into military exile. The vast sea, the Western Regions, Southern Xinjiang, Liaodong... were all bitter and cold places, and it was 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 could you be willing to bow your head and plead guilty 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, asking for and playing with her 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 before the Duke of Yue, the Duke of Yue will be able to interfere with military law and abuse power for personal gain? You are also aware of the current situation. I don't know how many people want to overthrow the commander-in-chief. What's your case? What if it happened without the commander’s knowledge? After the disposal is completed, it is difficult for outsiders to say anything, but if it goes through the hands of the commander-in-chief, in order to avoid being criticized, reported, or even impeached, the commander-in-chief can only kill relatives and deal with it strictly, quickly, and severely. Therefore, I do not recommend that you do that Do.”
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 made. No matter what, you have the relationship of the commander-in-chief, you just need to survive the current disaster. , it is still unclear how you will make a comeback in the future, but if you hate the commander, you will really have no choice.”
Helan Chushi understood that these words were actually good words, but how could he be willing to ruin his future?
Gritting his teeth, he whispered: "If I commit a crime and make 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 and crossbows, and plotting against evil..."
Cen Changqian raised her eyebrows: "Who?" (End of Chapter)
