Ninefold Supreme Heaven

Chapter 37 Counting Birds with One Stone

And just when Wang Qiang, You Yucheng, and Ying Ying were surprised by the prime minister's strength, the prime minister had already walked out of the palace in a hurry.

"Prime Minister, why didn't you subdue that kid just now, but left in such a hurry instead."

"The lord has masters by his side. We need to think long-term about this matter, and contact the people in the Longwei Empire as soon as possible. We need at least three masters who are at the peak of the barren land."

"Yes, Prime Minister, then tonight..."

"The action is cancelled, and everything is pushed to the Lord and the King of One Word. I'll see how long they can last."

"The prime minister is brilliant."

While Wang Qiang and You Yucheng were discussing the affairs of the Jintang Kingdom, an urgent report came from outside in a hurry, and You Yucheng's face was so gloomy and terrifying when he saw the news from above.

"I didn't expect that the Prime Minister would collude with people from the Longteng Chamber of Commerce and push everything to the two of us. Now the merchants in Jintang Middle School are already seriously dissatisfied with me!"

Wang Qiang received the information, looked at the things above, was silent for a while, and then looked up to the sky and let out a burst of laughter.

"Haha... I didn't expect that the Prime Minister actually did me a big favor, Brother You, the two of us should thank him well!"

Hearing Wang Qiang's words, You Yucheng's face flashed with confusion, but when he heard Wang Qiang's laughter, You Yucheng felt that someone was going to be in trouble.

"Brother You, I saw in your information that you have opened the treasury twice before, sending out a total of 100 million tons of grain, right?"

"Yes, but what does this have to do with the prime minister?"

"I made an unannounced visit before. In fact, only 60 tons of grain were sent out from Jintang High School, and another 40 tons were missing."

Wang Qiang tapped the table lightly, and when he said "It's gone", he couldn't help but hit harder, every blow was like a small hammer, hitting You Yucheng's heart.

"And the official who distributed the food is the Prime Minister's favorite disciple, Minister of the Household Department Shi Zhimin. Also, the person in charge of the army's supplies is also the Prime Minister's favorite disciple, the Minister of the Military Department Pan Zhengqing."

"Brother You, with these two scapegoats, we will get at least a three-month buffer period, you can do this..."

In Jintang Kingdom, when the merchants were making a fuss, an army of about 2000 soldiers suddenly appeared in the capital, and each soldier was very thin. Those soldiers ignored the terrified eyes in the streets and alleys, but ran Go to the palace.

"What's going on, these people didn't come to suppress us."

"It looks like they are about to go to the palace, what's going on, let's go and see."

"My God, aren't these the soldiers guarding the border? Why are they so thin, it seems like I can knock them down with one punch."

"That's right! These soldiers' footsteps are flimsy, and it looks like they haven't eaten for a long time. How can such an army fight?"

"Go and have a look."

That is to say, after the army, countless businessmen and civilians rushed towards the palace at the same time. Before those people rushed to the gate of the palace, they heard the soldiers there questioning weakly.

And You Yucheng, the legendary lord of Jintang Kingdom, has already stood on the wall of the imperial palace.

"This subordinate dares to ask the lord, is it wrong for me to defend my family and the country?"

"No mistake, but meritorious service."

"Then this subordinate dares to ask the master again, what mistakes have I made while waiting for the bloody battlefield?"

"That's right, it's my emperor who is ashamed of you."

"Then please forgive my subordinates for having the audacity to ask the lord three times. We have fought the enemy bravely, but have we ever been ashamed of our country?"

"No, you should be remembered by the people of the country."

"Then, why, for more than 20 days, we have never had a bite of food, and no one cares about it. Now our army is starving to death without the opponent coming to attack."

wow...

This time, among the businessmen and common people who had just arrived, there was a sudden commotion, guarding the frontier, and a long way to go. I didn't expect that they hadn't eaten for more than 20 days. What kind of perseverance made these people persist.

"Also, I'm going to ask the Lord how to kill the enemy with such inferior weapons."

bang bang bang...

More than 2000 soldiers dropped the weapons in their hands to the ground at the same time, and those weapons broke without exception, and many of them were hollow.

"Dare to ask the Lord, how can we defend our home and country without food and weapons? How can we kill the enemy on the battlefield?"

"As soldiers, we don't die on the battlefield, but at the hands of our own people. This is the saddest thing about our soldiers."

"Lord..."

At this moment, You Yucheng seemed to be stunned. He stood blankly on the wall of the palace without speaking, and those who came to watch became completely silent.

"How is it possible? The emperor just allocated 10,000+ tons of grain some time ago. How could you have not eaten for more than 20 days, and the weapons and armors that the emperor gave you are the best things in the Jintang Kingdom. How could this happen?" This is the case with hollow weapons."

At this moment, the sky of the entire Jintang Kingdom seemed to turn dark, and everyone could feel the anger of the young lord, because You Yucheng's tightly clenched iron fist was dripping with blood.

"Prime Minister, it's not good, the big thing is not good..."

At this moment, the prime minister was sitting in his home, sipping tea with a satisfied expression on his face, when two panicked people suddenly ran outside, and the prime minister gave them a dissatisfied look.

"What's going on with you two, I didn't teach you, don't panic when encountering things, learn to be steady, what happened, please tell me slowly."

The prime minister said leisurely, Fangfo put everything in his hands, and the two people who rushed in in a panic just now were the prime minister's favorite disciples, Shi Zhimin and Pan Zhengqing.

"Teacher, something is wrong. More than 2000 soldiers guarding the border just appeared. They even said that they hadn't eaten food for more than 20 days. Now they have gone to question the Lord."

"Teacher, and the weapons held by the more than 2000 people are all defective products, and there are many hollow weapons. Now they even say that the entire army is equipped with such weapons."

boom……

The teacup in the prime minister's hand shattered without warning, and the hot tea dripped down his palm, but he didn't seem to notice it, squinting at Shi Zhimin and Pan Zhengqing.

"So those who guard the border, have you withheld military rations?"

When the prime minister was invited, cold sweat dripped down Shi Zhimin's forehead, but he quickly shook his head.

"There used to be, but absolutely not now. War is imminent, and embezzlement of military rations is a serious crime."

"So the military supplies, have you shoddy them as good ones?"

As soon as the prime minister finished speaking, Pan Zhengqing's face turned pale in an instant, cold sweat dripped down, and his body trembled involuntarily.

"This, this... Although I have some things that are shoddy, they are definitely not so defective."

Hearing Pan Zhengqing's words, the prime minister sat on his chair weakly, with an old face that was extremely gloomy, as if he was going to violently kill someone at any moment.

"Go back, I can't save you, it happened too hastily, I can only try my best to save your life temporarily, and see if I can get you out later."

"Teacher, you..."

Shi Zhimin and Pan Zhengqing, full of panic in their words, knelt down in front of the prime minister together, with tears of regret streaming from their eyes.

"Get out... Get back quickly. I said I will try my best to save your lives. If you are still here, even the old man will be dragged into the water by you. Get out... Somebody, throw these two out of here."

The prime minister roared angrily, and several people quickly rushed outside, grabbed Shi Zhimin and Pan Zhengqing, and rushed directly to the gate.

"Teacher, you must save us!"

The voices of Shi Zhimin and Pan Zhengqing came from a distance, and the prime minister's expression was even more gloomy and terrifying.

"Okay, very good, it seems that I have underestimated the king of one word and shoulder to shoulder. With You Yucheng, he still can't think of this strategy of counting birds with one stone. I just hope that you don't bully others too much."

After the prime minister finished speaking, he walked out of his study angrily. By this time, the brief commotion at the gate of the palace had calmed down.

"Then, my lord, who is the minister who distributed the military rations to us?"

"Minister of Internal Affairs, Shi Zhimin."

"Why does this subordinate dare to ask the Lord again, who is the minister who distributed the military supplies to us?"

"Military Minister Pan Zhengqing."

"My lord, according to the laws of my Jintang country, what kind of crime should be punished for embezzling military rations during a war and passing off military supplies as good ones?"

"It should be punished as treason, and the law will be executed on the spot, and everyone will be punished..."

"Kill Shi Zhimin, kill Pan Zhengqing..."

"How can a traitor be able to defeat the foreign invaders, how to protect the family and the country..."

"Kill kill kill..."

"Kill Shi Zhimin and Pan Zhengqing, two treacherous ministers, and return my Jintang Kingdom to a bright and clear sky..."

"kill……"

More than 2000 people rushed towards the residence of Shi Zhimin and Pan Zhengqing, and did not hurt an ordinary person along the way, but seeing those people rushing out, all the businessmen couldn't help crying.

"In my Jintang country, there are such officials. It really makes me sad! Seeing the appearance of these soldiers, I can't wait to guard the frontier myself."

"The emperor also just discovered this situation two days ago. At that time, the king went to visit the border sergeants unannounced and discovered this situation. Before he could report to the emperor in the future, he was assassinated by a mysterious person that night."

When the [-] soldiers left in droves, You Yucheng stood on the tower, and shouted to those people in grief, this is also the king standing side by side, the first time he appeared in front of people "rightly and aboveboard".

"In the end, the king who stood shoulder to shoulder escaped the assassination and sent the news to me. Now the emperor is here to make a promise. I will definitely break the blockade of the Dragon Wei Empire in one and a half months at the latest. Please give me another one." Half a month. Thank you..."

You Yucheng bowed down to the people below, but the people below were already moved to tears. Hearing You Yucheng's words of guarantee for one and a half months, those merchants lowered their heads in shame, and looked sad and silent. leave.

At this time, the army of more than 2000 people was divided into two teams and rushed to the mansions of Shi Zhimin and Pan Zhengqing respectively.

　I'm sorry, I was busy at noon, so I forgot to post it, and it's a piece at night...
