Chapter 756 "Evidence" to the imperial envoy

Shen Yi frowned subconsciously.

Because Anping Hou Zhao Lu's words seemed to be confessing to himself, telling himself the situation north of the Huaihe River, and telling the truth to himself, the imperial envoy.

However, after he uttered the words "frequent movements", all the words just now faintly became two words.

Threat!

Threatening the imperial envoy Shen Yi, and then threatening the imperial court!
Thinking of this, Master Shen looked a little unkind, but he lowered his head slightly, hiding his expression well.

Seeing that Shen Yi didn't speak, Zhao Lu smiled and said, "Little Mr. Shen, don't worry, I'm not telling you this to make the imperial court stop investigating the Huaihe Navy, nor to make you fearful, Mr. Shen. "

"You can check whatever you want this trip."

General Zhao said solemnly, "Our Huaihe Navy will fully cooperate with the imperial envoy."

Shen Yi lowered his head and took a sip of his wine, then looked up at Zhao Lu, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is high-spirited and upright, I admire you."

"However, Lord Hou needn't be so nervous. The officer was ordered to come here this time, and he didn't have to find out anything. It's just that His Majesty heard some news and was worried that the court's barrier was unstable, so he sent an officer to take a look. .”

"Maybe someone in the court slandered Lord Hou and the Huaihe Navy."

Zhao Lu held the jug, stood up directly, walked to Shen Yi's low table, and squatted down to pour wine for Shen Yi. While pouring the wine, he asked, "Little Mr. Shen, what about Zhao's affairs in the court?" I’ve heard some, those people say that my Huaihe Navy has redundant officials, I’m short of quota, some areas are empty for defense, and I appoint private individuals internally, isn’t it?”

Hearing his words, Master Shen was really speechless.

Co-author, he already knew everything about those ginseng and his Zhao Lu.

Master Shen nodded helplessly, and said, "Big... probably that's all."

He bite the bullet and said: "However, I believe that these are all nonsense. During this inspection, Mr. Shen will definitely clear Lord Hou's name."

"It's not without reason."

After Zhao Lu poured wine for Shen Yi, he sat back in his seat. He looked at Shen Yi, sighed and said, "Little Mr. Shen, you are also in the southeast, and you have led the army for several years. Other civil servants said that most of them couldn’t explain it clearly, but if I tell you, it might make sense.”

Shen Yi smiled and said, "General, please tell me."

"I heard that the yamen of the coastal capital was almost built by Mr. Shen alone."

He looked at Shen Yi, and asked, "Does the little Mr. Shen know that the more than 2 people under your command are scattered across five state capitals, are there any of them oppressing the people, or are there any generals who are secretly collecting money?"

Shen Yi was silent for a moment, then shook his head slightly: "I don't know."

In fact, when he said these four words, Shen Yi already had the answer in his heart.

Soldiers in this era are not soldiers from another world. Hundreds of households in those places, when they saw Shen Yi, they were naturally like a mouse seeing a cat, but when they saw ordinary people, they might have a different face.

When the Anti-Japanese Army was first established, everyone was focused on killing Japanese pirates. This situation may not be obvious, or even if there was, it would be discovered and dealt with quickly. But when the Anti-Japanese Army became the coastal capital, Shen Yi had no way to manage it. It's all over the place.

Although I don't know the specific situation, what is certain is that the officers and soldiers of the coastal capital must also have the situation that Zhao Lu said.

It's just the difference between more and less.

Of course, the reason why the Huaihe navy was not tolerated by the emperor was not because they did evil, it was not because they were paid for nothing, and it was not because of redundant officials, but because they appointed private individuals.

The most fundamental reason is that their surname is not Li!

This is the original sin of the Huaihe Navy.

Seeing Shen Yi's answer, General Zhao sighed slightly: "I think there is, isn't it?"

Seeing that Shen Yi didn't speak, General Zhao continued: "The coastal capital has only been established for a few years, and there are only 2 people. This has already happened."

"As for our Huaihe Navy, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and it has been more than [-] years."

When General Zhao said this, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and then exhaled a strong breath of alcohol. He looked at Shen Yi and smiled wryly.

"There are many things that cannot be managed."

"There are also some things that can no longer be managed."

"As for saying that I'm using a private person."

General Zhao's tone was full of helplessness: "So many people have to be controlled, and they are forced to fight against the fierce Qi people from time to time. If I don't need some of my own people, am I still the chief military officer? "

Shen Yi ate food in silence and didn't answer.

Zhao Lu seemed to have found the "tree hole", changed his usual taciturn appearance, and kept talking to Shen Yi about things in the Anti-Japanese Army.

Master Shen was listening most of the time, occasionally nodding his head to deal with it.

In the middle of a banquet, General Zhao, who had been drinking all the time, was already blushing from drinking, and even spoke a little awkwardly.

After he drank another glass of wine, he looked at Shen Yi with drunken eyes.

"Brother Shen, the banks of the Huaihe River have not... not been peaceful recently..."

"If you talk about fighting, it might happen."

Both eyes of the great general were bloodshot. He raised his head, stared at Shen Yi, and hiccupped: "The imperial court wants my brothers to fight with the Qi people. at this time…"

"It can't be messed up."

Having said that, he stumbled to his feet, then walked unsteadily in front of Shen Yi, and almost fell on the low table in front of Shen Yi.

The general, with trembling hands, took out an envelope from his pocket.

The envelope was full, and it was obvious that more than one piece of paper had been dispatched inside.

"Brother Shen."

General Zhao reached out and patted Shen Yi's shoulder, put the envelope in front of Shen Yi, and said with a big tongue: "This is what you want, take...take it."

Shen Yi didn't answer it, but looked at the envelope in front of him suspiciously.

"Master Hou, what is this?"

"This is evidence."

General Zhao hiccupped and said drunkenly, "This is the evidence you... want."

"During this period of time, Zhao himself sent someone to investigate. There are generals who drink soldiers' blood, as well as scum who commit crimes. There are also some redundant official lists, and..."

He laughed at himself: "And the private person hired by Zhao."

"almost…"

"There are nearly 200 people."

Zhao Lu looked at Shen Yi, and said slowly: "Brother Shen, you just take this list and catch each person one by one. Once you catch one, you will never make a mistake..."

"These people are all generals with more than a hundred households..."

General Zhao breathed out a strong breath of alcohol, which made Shen Yi frowned subconsciously.

"Enough...enough, brother Shen, you've missed a job."

"After capturing these people..."

Zhao Lu put the envelope in front of Shen Yi, then stumbled to his feet, returned to his seat, and poured himself another drink.

"After arresting these people, the Huaihe Navy will suffer for a while, but it will not affect the overall combat power..."

"The people of Qi are here. We can still fight for our lives with the people of Qi."

"In this way, Brother Shen, your errand can be completed, and the Qi people's conspiracy will not succeed, the best of both worlds..."

Speaking of this, General Zhao laughed at himself again: "The one who suffers...is only Zhao Lu."

Master Shen sat in his seat, silently looking at the envelope in front of him.

After looking at it for a while, he turned his head and glanced at the Marquis of Anping who seemed to be drunk.

At this moment, Shen Yi was very clear in his heart.

Zhao Lu was not drunk at all!

Not the slightest bit drunk!
Now, he has given himself a plan.

That is, to arrest people according to the list he gave, and to finish the drama of the imperial envoy according to the "script" he set.

In this way, Shen Yi can leave the Huaihe Navy in a smooth manner.

This act of arranging a "script" for imperial envoys is both arrogant and domineering.

Master Shen squinted his eyes and looked at the envelope on the table.

He raised his head and took a sip of his wine, then looked at Zhao Lu.

"Master Hou, I won't read this list. Since the imperial court sent me here, I naturally have to check it out myself. If I find out that there is a discrepancy with what is on the list of Lord Hou, then I will not alright."

"That is naturally according to the list of imperial envoys."

General Zhao smiled and said, "Brother Shen, don't worry about answering."

"Since you're here, why don't you have to live in Fengyang Mansion for a while, we'll get along for a long time."

General Zhao stood up unsteadily, as if he was on the verge of falling.

"It's getting late, I'll send Brother Shen to rest."

"Take this envelope back..."

"Think slowly."
