[From today onwards, it will be changed to double update mode.From now on, I will be an "update robot" that has no affection, please don't disturb me...]

Ten miles outside the city.

The camp of the Divine Thunder Army.

According to the scheduled construction date, yesterday was the day the camp was completed.

Zhu Xiuyuan got up early in the morning. As soon as the city gate opened, he took Yan Dashan and several Jinwu guards and rushed here.

Zhou Dong, the supervisor who is stationed here, welcomes out of the camp gate.

Zhu Xiuyuan kept his tense face all morning, but there was a slight change, and he secretly raised his eyebrows at Zhou Dong.

Zhou Dong is also a wonderful person and has long figured out Zhu Xiuyuan's thoughts.

After he took Zhu Xiuyuan and his party around the entire camp.

Zhu Xiuyuan suddenly said: "Zhou Dong, this Divine Thunder Army will equip new weapons, practice new tactics, and work out a set of regulations for our Chen country to facilitate the promotion of new weapons to the entire army."

"So, the Divine Thunder Army is very important. How is the military camp you supervise? Did you cut corners? The Divine Thunder Army is very important to the entire Chen Kingdom. We can't be careless about such trivial matters as the camp."

Zhu Xiuyuan looked around as he spoke.

The permanent camp is naturally different from the marching camp. According to the regulations of Chen Guo, it needs to be made of wood and stone structures instead of tents.

Zhou Dong had a serious look on his face, cupped his hands and said, "Uncle, I once heard your uncle say, something...Practice is the only criterion for testing truth...My uncle's words are regarded as the most truthful words by my subordinates."

"So why not try it yourself?"

"Oh, how to try?"

"My subordinates have thought of a way..."

Zhou Dong arranged it himself.

Zhu Xiuyuan, Yan Dashan and others are waiting here.

During the whole process just now, Yan Dashan looked confused, his eyes moving back and forth on the faces of Zhu Xiuyuan and Zhou Dong.

He probably wanted to say: "Can you be more fake?"

……

After half an hour.

"What do those people from the Ministry of Works do for a living? They can't even build a big camp. Look at this... such a camp, let alone people. This Ministry of Works is just killing people!"

Zhu Xiuyuan danced with joy, facing the ruins, wildly swinging his clothes and sleeves, and cursed angrily.

"Please punish me, uncle. It's because of the poor supervision of the work by my subordinates that the Ministry of Works made such shoddy projects... Please punish me, uncle!"

Zhou Dong stood aside, cupping his hands and bowing, taking the blame for the crime.

"Hey, Zhou Dong, you were also confused by the people from the Ministry of Industry. It's not your fault. Get up."

"Thank you uncle for your understanding..."

Yan Dashan stood aside and witnessed the "double act" between his benefactor and Zhou Dong, but he still didn't quite understand.

Why...when Zhou Dong ordered people to "try it" just now, it took so much effort and force that the entire Shen Lei Army camp was reduced to rubble!
Except for the camp gate and the central army tent, the rest of the stables, grain and grass warehouses, barracks, etc. are all... gone!
Yan Dashan is a kind man. He once served as a captain in the army. He has already seen that this Thunder Army camp is indeed poorly built, but it is not so bad that it will collapse at the first touch...

However, this is what the benefactor did. As a follower, how can he say more?

Just watch from the side.

But Zhu Xiuyuan, in front of the ruins, became more and more excited the more he scolded, and the more he scolded, the more excited he became.

"Your Majesty has high hopes for our Divine Thunder Army. He will install new weapons for the first time and work out a set of regulations to promote the new weapons to the entire army..."

"But the Ministry of Industry, with its corpses in plain sight and to avenge private enemies, actually built this kind of tent! This kind of tent is simply made of paper. With just a slight touch, it will collapse into ruins..."

"Fortunately, God bless, this camp has not been put into use yet. Just imagine what would happen if these camps were filled with soldiers of the Divine Thunder Army!"

……

The more Zhu Xiuyuan talked, the more excited he became, and he cursed at the ruins, which not only suppressed Zhou Dong, Yan Dashan and others.

It also attracted the Jinwu Guard stationed here.

As soon as those Jinwu guards heard Zhu Xiuyuan's words and looked at the ruins on the ground, they immediately shared the same hatred and expressed support.

"The people from the Ministry of Industry are so disgusting that they actually cheated on the construction of the camp..."

"As Jin Wuwei, we don't have to live in this camp, but as a general of Da Chen, I really sympathize with the Shen Lei Army..."

"The Ministry of Industry is killing people, trying to kill our soldiers..."

"Although we are soldiers, we are also human beings. Why do you treat me like this?"

……

Jin Wuwei, who came to watch, became more and more excited, and cursed along with Zhu Xiuyuan.

Suddenly, Zhu Xiuyuan, who was cursing endlessly, raised his head and glanced at the sky, and gave Zhou Dong a secret look, and Zhou Dong nodded slightly.

So Zhu Xiuyuan stopped talking and walked towards the group of Jinwu guards who were watching.

To be precise, he should be heading towards the captain of the Jinwu Guard.

"General."

Zhu Xiuyuan cupped his hands.

Of course, the captain of the school cannot be regarded as a general, but it is human nature for people to carry the sedan chair and give others a higher status.

"Oh, uncle, don't dare to be, don't dare to be."

The captain returned the salute in a hurry, with a very respectful attitude and a smile on his face.

"Thank you for your uncle's advice last time. Although there were twists and turns, my subordinates were also credited with merit and received some rewards. Haha, it's all thanks to uncle's advice."

What the captain said was that a few days ago, when Zhang Ke "trespassed" into Shenleifang, Zhu Xiuyuan reminded the captain and asked him to copy the affairs of Zhang Ke's family...

"Hehe, it's not worth the effort."

Zhu Xiuyuan waved his hand.

"Uncle, those people from the Camp and Maintenance Department of the Ministry of Works are so abominable that they actually turned the Shen Lei Army camp into this state. I feel like General Chen, and I feel really angry when I see it!"

"This is exactly why I came here. I want to ask the general to help me."

"Uncle, it doesn't matter if you say so."

"I would like to ask the general to send someone to arrest all the doctors, Yuanwailang, and principals of the Camp and Repair Department of the Ministry of Works here."

"Let them take a good look at what the Divine Thunder Army camp built by their camp maintenance department looks like! Let them give an explanation on the spot and give an explanation to us and other soldiers!"

"Okay, uncle, don't worry, my subordinate will take care of it right away."

Lieutenant Jinwu Guards immediately went to make arrangements and sent people to arrest the chief officer of the camp and repair department. Let’s not mention it for now.

Let's say that after Zhu Xiuyuan came back, he secretly raised his eyebrows at Zhou Dong, called Yan Dashan, listened to him, and told him something.

"Well...my benefactor, is this...not good?"

Yan Dashan's eyes are like copper bells, and his face is full of disbelief.

"Don't talk nonsense, just do as I say."

"Yes, benefactor, the subordinates know."

After explaining the story, Zhu Xiuyuan led Zhou Dong and the Jinwu Guards into the remaining Chinese army tent and sat down on the general's seat.

Close your eyes and rest your mind.

After half an hour.

"...Be brave and let me go. I am a doctor from the Ministry of Industry. How can I allow you and other soldiers to bully me..."

There was a noise outside the Chinese army's tent.

Zhu Xiuyuan opened his sleepy eyes, thinking that someone had arrived.

Sure enough, I saw several Jinwu guards, holding four people in custody, walking into the Chinese army's tent one after another.

These four people are the doctor, Yuanwailang, and the two principals of the Ministry of Works and Maintenance Department.

They were the chief officers of the Battalion and Maintenance Department, and the Jinwu Guards really "caught them all" in one fell swoop.

"Shut up, you still have the nerve to say that you are a doctor from the Ministry of Works. You saw it on the way in just now, right? That is the camp built by your Ministry of Works!"

There was a grumpy Jin Wuwei who held the doctor's hand and twisted it hard.

"what……"

The doctor from the Ministry of Industry, who was a civil servant, had no strength to tie the chicken, so he was immediately twisted and screamed.

Zhu Xiuyuan just watched this scene calmly, unmoved.

"Uncle Qi, we have been brought here!"

Jin Wuwei cupped his hands and reported.

"Thank you for your hard work. Once things are done here, I will be the host and invite you brothers to take a trip to the Qinhuai River."

"That's a good feeling, thank you uncle!"

After Jin Wuwei thanked him, he turned around and left the Chinese army's tent.

Zhu Xiuyuan sat motionless in the general's seat. His eyes turned and fell on the faces of the four people from the Ministry of Works.

"Uncle Jiang Cheng! Although you are a distinguished official, you don't take us and other civil servants seriously. You actually sent someone to arrest us. What are you doing? I must make a formal statement and impeach you for your evil deeds." OK!"

The doctor from the Ministry of Industry was very angry, jumping around and cursing.

"You must be the doctor from the Ministry of Works and Maintenance Department. You are really arrogant!"

Zhu Xiuyuan stood up and left his seat, facing the four people from the Ministry of Industry.

"Did you see it on the way in just now? Is that the camp built by your Ministry of Industry for the Thunder Army?"

"Is that your big camp? Can people live there? Fortunately, it's empty. If it were full of people, there would be casualties. When the time comes, haha, your Ministry of Works..."

"Uncle Jiang Cheng, don't scare me with such words!"

The doctor from the Ministry of Industry was calm and composed, with no intention of making a mistake.

"This Divine Thunder Army camp was still intact when it was delivered yesterday. Why did it become like this in just one night? The craftsmen of our Ministry of Industry are the best in the world. There is no way they can commit fraud."

"However, no matter how good the camp is, it all depends on who will live there... Uncle Jiang Cheng's subordinates didn't care for the camp and turned it into ruins. No wonder I, the Ministry of Works!"

The Minister of Works raised his head and looked at Zhu Xiuyuan.If someone who didn't know what was going on saw this scene, they would have to believe what he said.

Because he is too confident.

"Ha ha……"

Zhu Xiuyuan smiled, he really underestimated the face of this man from the Ministry of Industry.

"The camp built under the supervision of your Ministry of Works will collapse at the first touch. It cannot be inhabited at all. My army has not even moved in yet, but it is already like this and turned into ruins!"

"Since no one has moved in, it is still empty and has collapsed, how can we talk about cherishing or not cherishing it?"

"In my opinion, your Ministry of Works cut corners or deliberately harmed me by using inferior materials. This resulted in the entire camp collapsing at a stroke. It was reduced to ruins even before they even moved in!"

Zhu Xiuyuan said with a cold face and a loud voice.

"Humph, the materials used by our Ministry of Industry are the best and most abundant. The craftsmen of our Ministry of Engineering are also the best! Why is this Divine Thunder Army camp intact while the people from my Ministry of Engineering are still there? , once it was handed over to uncle’s hands, it turned into this?”

"Uncle Jiang Cheng, this is obviously your problem!"

The doctor from the Ministry of Industry did not change his expression and pointed at Zhu Xiuyuan's nose in front of him, his attitude was very arrogant.

"presumptuous!"

I wish Xiuyuan a burst of drinking.

This frightened the doctor from the Ministry of Industry to retract his hand and did not dare to point at Zhu Xiuyuan's nose.

Because in terms of status, Zhu Xiuyuan, who was always an earl, was far higher than the doctor from the Ministry of Industry.

It was very rude to point at Zhu Xiuyuan's nose like the doctor from the Ministry of Industry did.

If it were a serious occasion, he could be held accountable for being disrespectful.

However, after the doctor from the Ministry of Works withdrew his hand, he became arrogant again, his expression unchanged, and he looked at Zhu Xiuyuan without any fear.

"Our Divine Thunder Army shoulders the important task of fielding new weapons for the first time. It is the lifeblood of our Chen country. Your Majesty attaches great importance to it and has high hopes for it!"

"But your Ministry of Industry, you cheated, cut corners, took the opportunity to retaliate, avenged private vendettas, and ignored the safety of our soldiers of the Divine Thunder Army!"

"You deserve to die! How much time was wasted because of your Ministry of Industry's fault? Did you know that the sooner the Divine Thunder Army completes its training, the sooner I, Da Chen, will be strong?"

"If your majesty's plans are delayed because of the affairs of the camp, you will die without redemption!"

Zhu Xiuyuan had a cold face and waved his long sleeves, showing a strong aura.

Even the arrogant and impassive doctor from the Ministry of Industry changed his expression slightly.

Chen Huangji valued the Divine Thunder Army, and he knew this.

If it really happened, he wouldn't be able to eat and walk around.

However, this man has been an official for a long time and is already a good person. How can he give up easily?

Moreover, they have already thought about how to escape the blame!

This is also one of the reasons for his arrogance and implacable expression.

"Uncle Jiang Cheng, no matter how much you talk, you even don't hesitate to bring out your majesty to scare me, but I am not afraid. Haha, this Divine Thunder Army camp will become like this as soon as it is handed over to my uncle. That is you The responsibility has nothing to do with our Ministry of Industry!”

The doctor from the Ministry of Industry insisted firmly.

Judging from that expression, it seemed that Zhu Xiuyuan had framed him.

amount……

If it is a false accusation, it is true, but the Ministry of Industry itself is not upright, and it is also true that it committed fraud in the construction of the Shenlei Army camp.

Zhu Xiuyuan just made things worse.

Because making things bigger will help solve the problem.

This is a helpless and realistic method.

To this end, Zhu Xiuyuan did not hesitate to use some small means...

Zhu Xiuyuan was not a completely honest man to begin with, so he naturally had to use bad people's methods to deal with bad people!
If you use the methods of a gentleman to deal with the villain's insidious ways, you are not knowing how to adapt, or to put it more harshly, you are ignorant of the world and you are stupid!
"Haha, Mr. Langzhong, you don't have to shirk the responsibility completely. I have actually known about the things about your Ministry of Works for a long time. You cut corners or passed off inferior materials. I'm afraid you made a lot of money out of it. ?”

Zhu Xiuyuan suddenly smiled, as if he had seen through their tricks.

"That's right, Uncle Jiang Cheng, I'm not afraid to tell you that the materials originally used to build the Thunder Army's camp have been secretly replaced, and the substitutes used are of the lowest quality..."

"Hahaha, how about it, Uncle Jiang Cheng, our Ministry of Industry just cut corners and made it look better."

"But, Uncle Jiang Cheng, what can you do to me? Do you have any evidence? Haha..."

The doctor from the Ministry of Industry laughed out loud, very arrogantly.

He actually said this to anger Zhu Xiuyuan and stimulate Zhu Xiuyuan.

but……

"Bold!"

Outside the Chinese army's tent, there was a sudden explosion.

The voice was loud, angry, but also slightly out of breath.

Regarding the appearance of this voice and the anger contained in it, Zhu Xiuyuan seemed to have known about it for a long time, and the corners of his mouth could not help but twitch slightly.

And the doctor from the Ministry of Industry had just finished mocking Zhu Xiuyuan, and before the smile on his face faded away, this angry shout came.

This voice... sounds so familiar!

"hiss!"

The doctor from the Ministry of Works secretly took a breath of air and quickly turned his head to look in the direction of the door of the big tent.

I saw a bunch of people already appearing outside the big tent.

There was one person at the head, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and a sky-high crown on his head. Who was it but Emperor Chen?
Behind Emperor Chen were a number of civil and military officials.

Prime Minister Li Zhong, Yushitai doctor Yang Tingyu, six ministers, etc.

There are also King Zhongshan, King Zhenze, and other generals.

A group of people from Ulala blocked the door, causing the light in the tent to dim.

However, if you look carefully, it is not difficult to find that there is some dust left on both the crown and hat of Emperor Chen and the clothes and hats of the civil and military officials...

Their faces also looked a little dirty.

……

Time pulled back a few minutes ago.

Outside the camp gate of the Divine Thunder Army, Emperor Chen suddenly arrived with hundreds of civil and military officials.

Emperor Chen really valued the Divine Thunder Army, and this time he left the palace for the first time in decades!

This made all the civil and military officials extremely happy, especially Yang Tingyu, the doctor of Yushitai.

Your Majesty is finally willing to spend his time on business. This is simply a blessing to the people of Chen State and the world!
However, they came in high spirits.

When passing through Daying Yuanmen, that Yuanmen...

actually……

It collapsed!
Fortunately, Emperor Chen and the civil and military officials ran fast, otherwise... someone would have been killed here.

However, even if they ran out of the dangerous area, Emperor Chen and all the civil and military officials were not spared from the dust and hoods caused by the collapse of the camp gate.

One head, one face, and one body are all covered in dust!

Chen Huang Longyan was furious!
However, before the civil and military officials began to dissuade them, they saw the ruins in the camp again.

ruins?

Why is it a ruin?
Thinking of the camp gate that just collapsed...

This time, Emperor Chen was really getting more angry and adding fuel to the fire.

All the civil and military officials were afraid and angry, but no one spoke to persuade him.

Because just now, they almost died here. It was so unlucky. Now they see this ruins again...

In everyone's mind, there was suddenly nothing left to say.

"This...what's the matter?"

Chen Huang concealed a raging anger, and he bit every word hard.

No one responded.

Because they don't know either.

And at this time, it's better to stay out of trouble.

Chen Huang, who was suppressing his anger, turned around and looked around, and saw the Chinese military tent at a glance.

Because it is the only complete building, standing there, it is very conspicuous, and anyone who is not blind can see it.

Without any explanation, Emperor Chen walked towards the Chinese army tent.

All civil and military officials were shocked and followed suit.

By coincidence, Emperor Chen and other civil and military officials had just reached the door of the main tent when the words of the doctor from the Ministry of Works fell into their ears.

This is really a shocking secret!
Chen Huangdang clenched his fists, his eyes widened with anger, and his eyes seemed to be spitting fire!
The Ministry of Industry cut corners and passed off inferior materials as good ones, but...

It almost cost him, the emperor, his life!
At this moment, none of the civil and military officials knew how to describe the anger in Chen Huang's heart.

They were also inexplicably horrified, and had only one thought in their minds: "Today, some people may suffer a great disaster!"

The Minister of Industry, one of the hundreds of civil and military officials, was so frightened that he fainted and fell unconscious...

The minister of the Ministry of Industry was very angry, and he hated the doctor of the camp and repair department.

As long as you know the secret, what are you doing by telling it?
What a coincidence that the furious His Majesty happened to listen...

The minister of the Ministry of Industry couldn't bear the consequences and was so furious that he fainted on the spot.

Naturally, Chen Huang did not notice that the Minister of Industry had fainted.

At this time, he could no longer suppress the anger in his body, and he vented part of his anger with a "bold" voice.
