The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 396 Reward and Punishment Unknown
Ever since Wu Yi sent the secret letter to Chengdu as soon as possible, he was restless and calmed down. Suddenly, he felt that there was something strange about this matter.

But he still couldn't figure out what was wrong. He tossed and turned and couldn't sleep all night. Even if he consulted with Fazheng, Fazheng had never been to Jiangling after all. information, so Wu Yi was always at a loss in the end, and his heart was full of doubts.

After Guo Jia's military order was passed to Xincheng, Wu Yi was taken aback.

He didn't expect that Guo Jia would come to question this matter openly, and he was asked to go to Jiangling, obviously to confront Gan Ning on the spot.

Military orders cannot be disobeyed, and Wu Yi set foot on the road to Jiangling again with a heavy heart.

After Guo Jia left Badong, he would stop at Jianping County and Yidu County, so Wu Yi arrived in Jiangling one day before Guo Jia.

After arriving in Jiangling, Wu Yi immediately went to see Pang Tong in secret, but the other party turned him away. At this moment, Wu Yi already knew something was wrong, especially because he felt as if he had fallen into a trap, but this How exactly did the trap trap him, it was difficult for him to penetrate.

The spring is bright and the wind is warm. Outside Jiangling City, Gan Ning leads a group of generals, and Wu Yi lives among them. Everyone looks calm and waits for Guo Jia's arrival.

Gao Shun led a thousand camps and rode wildly to protect Guo Jia from the west, and came to the gate of Jiangling City in the blink of an eye from a distance covered by smoke and dust.

The generals headed by Gan Ning saluted Guo Jia. Guo Jia was riding on the horse with a calm expression. He calmly raised his hand to let them excuse him, and then went straight into the city without saying a word.

Arriving directly at the Jiangling government office, Guo Jia naturally sat down on the main seat without any hesitation. Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Wu Yi, Pang Tong and other civil and military personnel from Jiangling all arrived.

As soon as Wu Yi came, he wanted to go out and clap his fists to Guo Jia to tell the truth, but Guo Jia raised his hand expressionlessly to stop him from speaking, and instead gave Gao Shun a wink, Gao Shun immediately walked out with intention.

"Pang Tong, bring the account books of the Nanjun government treasury."

Guo Jia gave the order softly, Commander Pang left the hall first after taking the order, and after a while, he ordered someone to bring up a stack of bamboo slips and put them in front of Guo Jia.

There was complete silence in the hall, and Wu Yi was in a cold sweat. He now understood that Gan Ning had not rebelled, and that he himself had falsely accused Gan Ning.

And Gan Ning held his head high, without any sign of dodging, as if he was worthy of the sky.

Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Gan Gui and other young Jianglings all cast disdainful glances at Wu Yi.

Guo Jia quickly read the accounts of the Nanjun government treasury. Before he passed by Jianping County and Yidu County, he also looked at the accounts in the counties. It was less than half a year after the Taiping Army captured these three counties, and the taxes collected were only Only for one quarter.

If Gan Ning wants to recruit soldiers, he must have money and food. Ordinary soldiers must have a full meal at worst, and the better ones need monthly money. The food and grass that Guo Jia gave to Jiangling is only what a [-] army needs every season. Without more sources of money and food, it was impossible for Gan Ning to recruit troops.

There are no mistakes in the account books of the three counties, and the source and use are clear. The civil officials of Jianping and Yidu counties also denied that there was a government order to recruit troops in the territory.

It is impossible to recruit [-] troops based on only one Nanjun.

Guo Jia, who was sitting on the main seat, closed his eyes and rested his mind. Although he was [-]% sure that Wu Yi had made a false accusation, he was still waiting.

Wu Yi in the hall was already sweating profusely.

He was cheated!

But now this situation is very bad for him.

Even the turning point of the rise and fall of the whole family.

From morning to afternoon, after two hours, Gao Shun returned to the government office.

Meeting Guo Jia, Gao Shun clasped his fists in public and told him about his investigation in Jiangling.

Whether it is food and grass in the army, equipment for soldiers and horses in the army, and daily necessities such as fire stoves, they are all normal numbers, and there will never be more than 10 people equipped.

The truth came out.

None of the money and food in the treasuries of the three counties has been embezzled, and there has never been a government order to recruit soldiers. Everything in the Jiangling barracks is as it was when Guo Jia left with his troops last year.

Can Gan Ning hide [-] troops and cross the sea?
"Wu Yi, what else do you want to say?"

Guo Jia turned his eyes to Wu Yi indifferently, a sign of slight anger could be seen in the calmness.

Wu Yi rushed out of the queue, cupped his hands in fear, and said, "My lord, I will eventually get the news that the governor has privately recruited soldiers. Military division Pang has personally confirmed this!"

After saying this, Guo Jia turned to look at Pang Tong, obviously questioning him.

Pang Tong stepped out of the line without changing his face, and said calmly: "I don't know what General Wu is talking about."

"you!"

Seeing Pang Tong's backlash, Wu Yi was furious immediately, but with Guo Jia present, there must be no good fruit for messing around, and it would be even more detrimental to him.

But now, Wu Yi's body was cold, he understood.

Everything is clear!
Gan Ning and Pang Tong designed to drive him to a dead end.

He has already been convicted of the crime of framing Gan Ning, who is the most prestigious in the army.

"My lord, at the end of the day, the general will escort food and grass to Jiangling. The governor hosted a banquet in honor of the general. He once uttered wild words of disrespect to the lord, and the governor said it himself."

Wu Yi was so anxious that he had nowhere to go, so he could only tell what happened at the banquet that day.

But Guo Jia didn't give him a chance.

Outraged, Guo Jia yelled angrily, "Wu Yi! If you can't make a false accusation, do you still want to slander the governor?"

Guo Jia's furious expression made Wu Yi startled, and he turned his head to look at Gan Ning who was calm and unmoved, his head held high and his chest held high.
But at this time, Gan Ning came out, clasped his fists and said softly: "I would like to report to my lord, that day, the general slipped his words after drinking, and indeed he was disrespectful to the lord, and the general asked the lord to punish him, and punish the general for the crime of disrespect."

When Wu Yi saw Gan Ning admitting it, he hated Gan Ning's behavior even more in his heart.

Now Gan Ning is the one who was framed by him, and he has already got the support of everyone emotionally, and now he takes the initiative to plead guilty, will Guo Jia pursue it?
Sure enough, Guo Jia's expression softened, he let out a breath, waved his hands to Gan Ning and said, "Xing Ba doesn't need to blame himself, how can I take such small things to heart?"

Gan Ning thanked the lord gratefully, and then went back to the queue, holding his head high all the time, worthy of heaven and earth.

But Wu Yi's body softened, he knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said in deep pain: "My lord, I can't argue with a hundred words, and I don't want to waste any more words. There is only one sentence, I hope the lord will hear it, and I will show my loyalty to the lord." , the world can learn from the sun and the moon, if there is any unruly intention in the end, the sky will be thundered!"

Wu Yi is disheartened now, even if he tells the details of how he was framed, it will be heard by others that he is making up and acting on his own, without any evidence.

His mistake was that he eagerly sent a secret letter to Guo Jia without verifying the facts.

And all of this stems from his loyalty to Guo Jia. If he wasn't loyal, how could he be so anxious?If he was not loyal, he might bow his head to Gan Ning.If he hadn't been loyal, after hearing Gan Ning's private recruitment, he might have thought of self-protection instead of warning Guo Jia.

The hall fell into silence again, and everyone was watching how Guo Jiahui would deal with Wu Yi.

This matter is no small matter, Wu Yi framed no one else, but Gan Ning, the most prestigious governor in the Taiping Army!
If it cannot be severely punished, it will not be able to convince the public.

Guo Jia turned his back to the crowd and did not speak for a long time. He seemed a little hesitant, and he was also considering how to punish Wu Yi.

After a brief silence, Guo Jia turned around, with a dignified expression, and said indifferently: "Wu Yi, go down and get fifty army sticks, and then bring your ten thousand soldiers back to the new city. Remember one sentence for me, keep yourself safe .Gao Shun, you go to supervise the implementation."

Everyone in the hall looked at Guo Jia in amazement, even Wu Yi was no exception.

Fifty army sticks and it's over?

This is just child's play!
Gan Ning's complexion changed, but he didn't say anything in the end. Wu Yi was in this situation, Gan Ning felt a little ashamed. Seeing that Guo Jia was punished lightly, he stopped protesting.

But other people are not convinced.

Whether the crime of defamation is big or small, the key is who is the target of the defamation?It's Gan Ning!

And what is the content of the framing?It's a rebellion!

If Guo Jia let Wu Yi go so easily, without even dismissing him from the military, this is obviously an example. Could it be that other people can also frame and slander at will?Anyway, the consequence is to hit fifty army sticks.

If rewards and punishments are unknown, nothing will happen!

The others finally refrained from speaking. After all, it was because Wu Yi had a younger sister who was Guo Jia's concubine.

But the lesson from the past is Mi Fang's extraordinary promotion.

One reward and one punishment, Guo Jia was not convincing.

Gao Shun escorted Wu Yi out of the lobby.

The Taiping Army strictly enforced the law, but any punishment of more than [-] military sticks must be reviewed by senior generals for multiple confirmations and then supervise the law enforcement on the spot, so as to ensure that there are no unjust, false or wrong cases.

"Retire, Xingba, you stay."

Guo Jia rushed to Jiangling all night and night, feeling a little tired, waved his hands, and left with civil and military salutes in the hall.

Gan Ning didn't know what Guo Jia would do with him, but he was still a little uneasy.

Wu Yi was framed because Wu Yi was aggressive.

The initiative is in Wu Yi's hands, and Wu Yi wrote the slanderous secret letter himself. In this situation, both Gan Ning and Wu Yi have their own responsibilities.

It is just conceivable that in the future, these two people will become even more at odds because of what happened today.

Gan Ning looked at Guo Jia, gritted his teeth, and suddenly wanted to give himself a slap in the face, Guo Jia's trust and respect for him were already too much for a thousand-mile horse in the world, how could he repay Guo Jia with today's behavior?

"My lord, I have one thing to think about at the end"

Just when Gan Ning was determined to confess everything, Guo Jia beckoned to him.

"Xingba, stop talking nonsense, this time I come to Jiangling, I have one more thing to ask you face to face."

Guo Jia's expression was solemn, which made Gan Ning cheer up, walked up to Guo Jia, and asked, "What's the matter? My lord, just give orders."

Guo Jia looked up at Gan Ning, and said in a deep voice, "I'm here to tell you how to defeat Fancheng."

Gan Ning's expression was startled, and he immediately knelt down and listened carefully.
