Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 450

The current Chief Quartermaster of the Military Hall is named Pang De, who is from the southern province of Winkle.There are a lot of nobles in Wangjing City. As a Viscount, Pound was originally just a low-level official in the military hall, but as the Ninth Prince came to power, the original officials died in the melee and fled. In order to stabilize the situation as soon as possible, The military hall appointed a series of new officials. Pound, the original low-level official, was lucky. Because he hugged Yang Yanxu's thigh in time, he took the position of power in the military hall and served as the chief quartermaster.

The Chief Quartermaster was responsible for the collection, transportation and supply of grain and grass for the entire Far Eastern Dynasty army. Not only was he a high position and powerful, but he was also extremely rich in oil and water. After Pound became the Chief Quartermaster, he was very excited and excited.

Pound's first task after taking office was to reward troops with meritorious service in accordance with the order of Ninth Prince Long Han. According to Long Han's order, every soldier would be rewarded with a jar of wine and a catty of meat. His predecessor had a net worth of tens of millions in a few years, Pang De was naturally unwilling to lag behind while envious.

According to the past practice, Pound will take [-]% of this reward as his own, but after all, he is a new official, and he can't be too ugly, so Pound only takes [-]%, although only [-]% still makes Pang De earns a lot of money, after all, the base of the reward this time is relatively large.

Pound took [-]% of it as his own, and the officials below followed suit and exploited the rewards layer by layer, so the reward sent to the barracks became half a jar of wine for each soldier , Half a catty of meat was reduced by half.

"My lord, my lord, it's not good." When Pound was in his office thinking about how much money he could make this time, a panic-stricken official bumped in.

When Pang De saw the panic-stricken officials crashing into his office without permission, his joyful face suddenly sank, and he reminded dissatisfiedly: "How many times have I told you, remember to knock on the door, remember to Knock."

"Yes, yes, be sure to pay attention next time." Facing Pang De's lesson, the official rushed in rashly, and was immediately stunned.

Pound is now the chief quartermaster of the military hall, with a high position and authority, so he naturally began to show the prestige of the chief quartermaster, but seeing that it was his cronies who broke in, Pound waved his hands after a few words of reproach: " Tell me, what's the matter?"

"My lord, the officials we sent to escort the wine and meat were detained by those soldiers."

"What! It's so out of the blue, they dare to detain our people!" After hearing the official's report, Chief Quartermaster Pang De was furious.

The new official took office three fires, and Pound had only been the chief quartermaster for a few days. Now that his officials have been detained, he felt that he had been insulted. Our people, go to please people."

Lin Chuan and the others detained the officials who escorted the wine and meat to ask for explanations because the wine and meat were reduced by half. Although the soldiers were agitated and wanted to kill the officials who escorted the wine and meat, Lin Chuan remained relatively restrained and tried his best not to let the situation escalate. Chuan's purpose is very simple, that is to get back the missing meat and wine, and give the soldiers an explanation.

However, what Lin Chuan never expected was that such a small request of his own would attract a huge reaction from Pang De, the chief quartermaster. , completely enraged Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan kept on doing nothing, and directly ordered more than 2 soldiers to drive out of the camp, and surrounded the people brought by Chief Quartermaster Pound.

Pang De led only the guards of the military hall, and the Nanchuan soldiers under Lin Chuan's command were all fighters who crawled out of the sea of ​​corpses and blood. Facing the encirclement of these wolf-like soldiers, Pang De suddenly felt a huge pressure.

Originally, Lin Chuan wanted to calm things down and just ask for the lack of wine and meat, but Pound's actions completely changed Lin Chuan's mind. Since he couldn't bear it, he didn't need to bear it anymore. To be deducted, now instead of apologizing, the other party came aggressively to please others. Lin Chuan decided to teach these proud nobles a lesson.

"Arrest them!" Lin Chuan ordered coldly, pointing to Chief Quartermaster Pound and the hundreds of guards he brought.

"Lin Chuan, what do you want to do! I am the Chief Quartermaster, do you want to commit crimes!" Pang De asked Lin Chuan loudly when he saw the murderous soldiers approaching him.

Now Lin Chuan didn't have any patience to bargain with these officials who were sitting on vegetarian meals. Since the matter became serious, Lin Chuan was not afraid now, and let Long Han directly decide what was right and what was wrong.

Facing the murderous Nanchuan soldiers, the guards of the military hall lost a bit of momentum before they fought, and soon the guards of the military hall were beaten to the ground, and the chief quartermaster Pang De was even tied up. .

"Let's go, ask His Highness for an explanation!"

"Ask for an explanation!" More than 2 Nanchuan soldiers shouted in unison, leading the bound military hall officials towards the imperial city.

As soon as Lin Chuan and the others took action, the rest of the troops who had been deducted from their rewards couldn't sit still, and they drove out of the camp one after another. Under the leadership of officers at all levels, they gathered together like countless streams and marched towards the emperor in a mighty way. away from the city.

Thousands of people from the Nanchuan Army, the Central Army, and the Internal Guard gathered outside the imperial city shouting for explanations. The internal guard troops guarding the imperial city saw more and more soldiers gathering, thinking that there was a mutiny. Terrified, he hastily closed the gate of the imperial city, and quickly reported to Ninth Prince Long Han.

Long Han turned pale with anger when he learned the whole story. He didn't expect that his rewards for the bloody soldiers would be withheld layer by layer. If it wasn't for Lin Chuan and the others to expose it, he would still be in the dark.

"Investigate! Thoroughly investigate!" In order to appease the army's anger, Long Han ordered a thorough investigation into the matter.

The corruption of officials in the dynasty has been deeply rooted in the bones. Long Han originally thought about dealing with the corruption of officials after the situation stabilized, but now through this incident, Long Han realized that dealing with corrupt officials cannot be dealt with. Procrastinate any longer.

General Quartermaster Pang De and more than a dozen officials who participated in the embezzlement of wine and meat were beheaded by Long Han's order, and all the missing wine and meat were made up. It also caught Long Han's attention.

Ninth Prince Long Han not only has a long-term vision but also is very courageous. His eyes are as unmovable as Lin Chuan's. Although he knows that dealing with corruption will involve many nobles and officials, he will definitely face obstacles. It will have a great impact on the newly stabilized situation, but long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Long Han decided to deal with the corruption issue immediately.
