Hearthstone Farm Lord

Chapter 688 Trial of the Quartermaster

The barracks where Wilson was located was a little far from the school grounds.

When he led dozens of rioting soldiers to the school grounds, many other soldiers had already lined up on the school grounds.

But the whole campus was very quiet, and everyone didn't dare to speak.

Sean rode the hippogryph over the school grounds, and Khadgar stood beside him.

With these two present, the entire school grounds were naturally silent.

The soldiers who made trouble saw this scene and knew that Wilson hadn't deceived them, so they all cast kind eyes on him.

Then they lined up on the school field under the command of the officer present.
.
There are more and more soldiers on the school field. In less than 20 minutes, 2500 soldiers from the entire barracks have all assembled on the school field.

The officers of the reserve battalion were also present, standing on the left side below Xiao En.

However, these officers more or less knew what happened, so their faces were ugly, and some of them even turned red and white.

After everyone arrived, Sean waved to John Eagle.

John Eagle nodded, and ordered his retinue knights to drag out all five quartermasters and quartermaster Kushner, and hang them on the gallows.

The army below was suddenly in an uproar.

Of course they knew the five quartermasters and the chief of the quartermaster, they were great figures in the army!

Although the titles of the quartermasters are not high, many generals with lower ranks dare not conflict with them.I am afraid that these quartermasters will "leave the shoes on" for their teams in the future, such as sending inferior weapons and armor, daily necessities, etc.

But these great figures were hanged on the gallows one by one, as if they were about to be executed, how could this not surprise the soldiers?
.
John Eagle's face was still ugly at this time. He walked to the front of the stage and said to everyone seriously: "Listen up! Everyone is called this time to execute the five quartermasters and the chief of quartermasters in public. Kushner.

Because just now, His Royal Highness Sean's capable officers discovered that Kushner and these quartermasters had serious violations of discipline."

"Cough cough." At this time, Elis Star Chaser coughed twice, indicating that John Eagle's words were inappropriate.

John Eagle had no choice but to continue: "Well, it's not a matter of violation of discipline. They violated very serious military laws and must be punished by military laws! Ellis, please explain in detail the crimes they committed."

"Ok."

Elis nodded and stood up, took out the small book in his backpack, opened it, and read directly:
"Chief of Quartermaster Kushner, committed a total of 27 crimes, namely:
On May 5, Kushner violated the procurement regulations and deliberately purchased a batch of aged oats that were infested with worms, and obtained a kickback of 2 gold coins;
On June 6, Kushner changed the armor supplier in violation of regulations and received a kickback of 12 gold coins;
On June 6, Kushner illegally solicited bribes from fur suppliers."

Ellis listed the information she obtained with [Thought Stealing] and some information obtained by other means.

Lu Helmet also went to the front, and took out the physical evidence of the crime they had collected one by one.

Kushner's acceptance of bribes was not purely gold coins, but also received a lot of famous calligraphy and paintings, weapons and equipment, magic crystals, etc. These are strong evidence of crime.
.
The soldiers present listened to Elis announce the charges.

At first they enjoyed it, because Ellis's voice was so beautiful that they were mesmerized by it.

Even some female soldiers almost fell in love with Elis.

But gradually, they realized something was wrong.

Good guy!These quartermasters actually embezzled so much!

No wonder the food in the army is getting worse every day, and the quality of daily necessities such as bedding and clothes is getting worse and worse. It turns out that these beasts are getting worse and worse!

Gradually, the soldiers became angry.

One soldier couldn't help shouting: "Hang these beasts!"

The other soldiers also shouted: "Hang them!" "Hang these bastards!"

Even the timid Wilson waved his fist and roared: "Yes, hang them! Damn it, I have shouldered so many blames for them and received so many scoldings. I have had enough!"
.
The group of rioting soldiers around Wilson also knew that it was wrong to blame Wilson.

In order to apologize to Wilson and seek justice for themselves, they yelled extra loudly and became the most excited group of people in the entire school.

For a while, the audience was excited.
.
The voices on the school grounds became louder and louder, but Elis didn't stop, and continued to list all their crimes in detail.

When they arrived here, the faces of Chief of Quartermaster Kushner and the five quartermasters under him had turned gray, and they all knew that they would not escape this disaster.

Kushner can't speak now, he can only look at the senior generals standing behind John Eagle.

Kushner has given these senior generals a lot of bribes before, hoping that they can speak for him and exempt him from the death penalty.

But these senior generals were sitting in danger and didn't even look at him, which made Kushner completely desperate.
.
Of course Sean also knew that several senior generals in the army could not escape the responsibility, but he did not plan to deal with them now.

The military is not the same as grassroots governance.

After the grassroots governance has eradicated corrupt officials, another batch of civil servants can be selected. Although the governance ability has declined, it will certainly do more good than harm to the governance of the entire territory.

But the military is different.

The strong in the army are respected, and those who can become high-ranking generals are at least those who are above the silver ranks. Dealing with them rashly will not only greatly reduce the strength of the army, but also make it difficult to control the army without generals.

Therefore, at this juncture, these officers cannot be rashly moved, and only these quartermasters can be used. They are not innocent anyway.
.
Elis quickly finished reading all the charges against Kushner and the five quartermasters, and finally concluded:
"The deer helmet and I went to search the homes of the five of them just now, and found a lot of property. In addition to the land, manor, real estate and other wealth they bought, the total assets of the six people are worth about 15 gold coins!"

"15 gold coins?!" Everyone on and off the stage was shocked.

The soldiers in the audience usually spend silver and copper coins, and they don't know what kind of concept "15 gold coins" is.

The senior generals on the stage were also extremely jealous. 15 gold coins?On average, they are much richer than them!

The Quartermaster Office is really a rich place!
