After farming, the big devil, she's salty

Chapter 187 Withholding Military Pay
Gu Chengan seemed to have been wandering around the door for a long time, pacing non-stop at the door. Seeing the two people coming, he greeted them: "Jin Yao, are you planning to go out to eat so late?"

"Yeah." Jin Yao nodded, "Why don't you rest in the middle of the night?"

Gu Chengan shook his folding fan and smiled: "Of course I plan to go out for dinner with you?"

Jin Yao opened his mouth: "Did you not eat tonight?"

Han Yu looked at Gu Cheng'an with a gloomy expression: "Young Master Gu, is this a spoiler for you?"

"That's wrong." Gu Cheng'an cheekily smiled schemingly, "Jin Yao and I are friends from the beginning. We just arrived in the capital today, and you are staying at my house. It's reasonable for us to have a meal together. It should."

Han Yu: "..."

This guy has learned how to kidnap morally.

Jin Yao's eyebrows jumped, but he didn't refuse: "Okay, let's go eat together. However, we have agreed in advance that we can only go to Manchengxiang. I have been thinking about the meatloaf there all day. Woolen cloth."

Gu Chengan raised his eyebrows: "Okay, no problem. I just want to reminisce about Chef Man Chengxiang's craftsmanship, and I haven't eaten for more than three months. I really miss it very much."

The three went out together.

The night in the capital is much more lively than other towns. At night, there are still people strolling in the streets, eating, drinking and having fun everywhere.

It is indeed at the foot of the imperial city.

Luxuriant, who doesn't like this kind of life.

Manchengxiang was still full of guests, but today the private seats were all booked. In desperation, Jin Yao and his party could only choose to sit in the lobby for dinner.

Han Yu couldn't help feeling a bad premonition in his heart.

Jin Yao ordered the dishes in his spare time, and immediately handed over the menu to the waiter in the shop.

"Why didn't you know to call us for dinner?"

Suddenly, Shen Yun's voice appeared in Man Chengxiang again, and this time, she didn't come alone, but she came in women's attire and brought Di Lei with her.

Jin Yao's eyes lit up, and he smiled: "Princess Yun, it's late at night, you and your husband don't stay at the house well, why are you still like us and be night owls?"

"You're the only one who can joke."

Shen Yun walked over with a smile on her skirt, sat down next to Jin Yao, and raised her hand to call the waiter to come and order.

Di Lei sat down in front of Han Yu.

Gu Chengan did not expect that today's dinner would be so lively.When he was in the capital, he met Shen Yun Di Lei a few times, but he never had a chance to talk to him.

After a pause, Gu Chengan stood up and saluted: "Xiaomin see Princess Yun, General Di."

"Eh? You are..." Shen Yun noticed Gu Chengan's existence only now, "Oh, I remembered, you are the young owner of the Chengyue Chamber of Commerce, right? You don't have to pay attention to these things. .”

Gu Chengan bent his lips and nodded: "Thank you Princess."

Because of Shen Yun's uninvited visit, Gu Chengan basically had no chance to talk to Jin Yao again, but what made him strange was that Shen Yun seemed to be very familiar with Han Yu.

This made Gu Cheng'an couldn't help but start to re-examine Han Yu.

Marquis Shen has always looked down on merchants like them. If Han Yu is really the blood of Mrs. Han's next of kin, there is no reason why he would get close to the Shen family.

Could it be that his and Liu Qingyao's guesses were wrong?
Thinking of this, Gu Chengan gritted his teeth, coughed lightly, and took the initiative to talk: "Princess Yun, you seem to be very familiar with Brother Han, when did you know each other?"

Shen Yun raised her eyebrows and blinked her eyes: "Well, it might start from childhood. Why does Mr. Gu ask these things?"

Gu Cheng'an smiled faintly: "The princess laughed, I just asked casually out of curiosity. After all, Brother Han has known me and Jin Yao for so long, and has never revealed his past."

Shen Yun narrowed her eyes, paused, and smiled: "That's true. Han Yu's favorite thing to play is mystery. He used to love to play, and now he also loves to play. You see, this is all back to the capital. Why don't you bring Jin Yao to live in your mansion, this man is too mysterious and unreliable."

I like to play mysteries...

For some reason, Gu Chengan had a bad premonition in his heart.I always feel that Han Yu's identity is not that simple.

Han Yu on the side coughed lightly and frowned: "You can't talk about food, can't you stop your mouth when you eat?"

Di Lei was unhappy when he heard that: "That's my wife, is it your turn to take care of it?"

"..." Han Yu gritted his teeth, "Then tell her to shut up and stop talking about other people's affairs."

Di Lei raised his eyebrows: "I won't!!"

Han Yu: "..."

Jin Yao laughed out loud.

Sitting on the seat, Gu Chengan couldn't help being a little embarrassed. After thinking for a while, he stood up: "By the way, I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do, and I have to go back to deal with it, so I won't bother you guys to eat here. Farewell."

"Well, go slowly!!"

Jin Yao and Shen Yun waved to Gu Chengan.

"Finally gone."

Di Lei looked at Gu Chengan's receding back, and let out a long breath.

"What? Are you and Gu Chengan not dealing with each other?" Han Yu squinted at Di Lei, "Or did the Chengyue Chamber of Commerce mess with the Hou Mansion?"

"Guess right." Shen Yun's face turned serious, "Recently, for some reason in the palace, there have been some memorials written by my father. The contents are basically my father's embezzlement of military pay and military supplies. Moreover, my father's These people more or less have cooperation with Chengyue Chamber of Commerce."

"Businessmen intervene in the affairs of the court? Is this forbidden by our court's laws?" Jin Yao wondered, "Then what is the result of the investigation? Why did these people frame your father like this?"

"This is a common thing in the court." Han Yu explained, "I know the old man very well, and it is absolutely impossible to deduct military pay and military supplies. If you think about it, it should be a problem during transportation or handover, right?"

"That's right." Shen Yun slapped her knees, "But the problem now is that Chengyue Chamber of Commerce does not admit that there is a problem with the food and grass it provided. My father believes in the people in the army, and it is absolutely impossible to deduct military pay .”

Han Yu nodded when he heard the words: "The military salary is usually allocated to the military camp by the imperial court. Lord Hou is now in the capital, and it is almost impossible for the military salary of the garrison in the capital to go wrong."

Di Lei clenched his fists: "We also can't figure out what went wrong."

Jin Yao, who was chewing meat slowly, pursed his lips, narrowed his eyes, and intervened in the topic: "Actually, it's not impossible to take advantage of loopholes. Princess Yun, how did you find out that these military salaries were deducted?"

Shen Yun sighed helplessly: "It's because the warlord suddenly came to investigate the matter of private minting of silver coins one day, and found that the military pay that was originally kept in the treasury has been reduced by more than half."

Han Yu frowned: "Didn't you realize that more than half of the army's salary has been reduced? What about the account book? What about the calculation method for managing the account book?"
