"The new year is approaching. Your Majesty is kind-hearted and has specially allocated 500 taels of silver from the treasury to buy cotton-padded clothes and other winter items for the army officers. However, there is no cotton wool or cotton in the account book, and there is not even a piece of charcoal fire. I can't help but be suspicious."

Qin Zhongxun silently squeezed the palm of his wife's hand, indicating to her not to act impulsively, but to focus on retorting and listen to what the person said before speaking.

Chu Changying stared straight at Fang Zhiheng. She wanted to see how this man could make such nonsense out of a small account book!

"Five hundred taels of silver is not a small amount. In recent years, there have been constant natural and man-made disasters. I have good intentions, but this silver has disappeared for no apparent reason." When he said this, the conical hat moved slightly, as if he was a person under the veil, and his eyes were intentional or unintentional. The ground passed by Chu Changying.

Instantly, she got goosebumps all over her body.

Chu Changying suppressed the anger in his heart, but thanks to Qin Zhongxun's consolation, he did not lose all his sanity and make people laugh in vain.

"Just because there are no details of winter supplies in the account book, this gentleman is suspicious of my father?"

"Your Majesty, the generals and civilians in the military camp each perform their duties. My father is responsible for marching and fighting. Is it possible that he should be allowed to follow the purchasers?"

Chu Changying was arrogant. She was following her father, and she understood her father's style very well. General Chu had always looked down on people who cheated and cheated, and money was something outside the body.

He has made many achievements in battle over the years, and His Majesty's reward is far more than 500 taels. How could he do such sneaky things just because of 500 taels?

In Chu Changying's opinion, it was simply the most ridiculous thing in the world!

"I visited the lieutenants who served in the army that year. On the march that year, heavy snow closed the mountains and thousands of people froze to death. As the leader of the army, General Chu was in charge of the overall situation. The cold-resistant clothes that should have been prepared for the soldiers were gone. Where did he go? Who enriched himself? Is General Chu really an innocent person?"

Fang Zhiheng, who was under the veil, let out an extremely sarcastic chuckle. Chu Changying couldn't help but said with a stern voice, "My father's innocence cannot be slandered by you with just a casual word!"

"Chang Ying." Qin Zhongxun's heart tightened. He glanced at Fang Zhiheng with fear. He had never noticed before that there was such a person in the Ministry of War who never showed his true face. There were rumors that he had suffered misfortune when he was young. , ruined appearance.

Is that really the case, or is that face shameful?Qin Zhongxun had no way of knowing, but at the moment, this person was clearly looking for trouble and was targeting the Chu family.

"Your Majesty, my father is loyal to you and the court. I, the good general of the Chu family for generations, have never had any different intentions. I have stolen military pay and enriched my own pockets. Such despicable things are done by villains. I, Chu Changying, can swear that my father I will never do it!”

In the Jinluan Hall, Chu Changying's angry words really shocked everyone present for a moment.

"Oh, Miss Chu is really eloquent. It would be great if the poor soldiers who froze to death on the march could have such eloquence. Unfortunately, they all died in vain in the snowy mountains. I wonder if General Chu would think of all these things he had lost in vain when he dreamed back at midnight. A soldier who lost his life?"

The implication is clearly that he wants to put the blame on General Chu. Can Chu Changying not be anxious?
