Although he had heard about the various festivities between Zhang Hong and Fu Wang Zhang Laohei, this was the first time Zhuo Yue saw Zhang Hong in person.In his imagination, Zhang Hong should also be a domineering person, relying on his own background, he can't wait to walk sideways.However, it was only after meeting that he discovered that General Zhang Shen had a round, white and fat face, and he laughed when he saw everyone, as if he had no airs.

As soon as he came in, he saluted the two of them with a very low attitude: "If you have any questions, you two feel free to ask the next officer."

Wang Rong said: "General Zhang, this batch of firecrackers was thrown under your noses. You, the person in charge of the ordnance station, cannot escape the blame. You have also got involved with these grassland people. If you don't understand, it's okay." It's ugly."

Zhang Hong repeatedly said: "The lower officer knows. I really can't get rid of the responsibility for the loss of things. It's because I didn't take care of it strictly. But the locks in our warehouse are all double-headed, and two people have to hold the key at the same time to open it. I I really never expected that these people under my command would be so powerful that they could even pry open warehouses, and they even colluded with grassland people..."

Li Changxing leaned slightly, and whispered in Zhuo Yue's ear: "This Zhang Hong is good at evading, so with a few words, he cast the responsibility on the people below."

Zhuo Yue curled his lips and secretly agreed.Fu Wang is a smart man with seven holes in his heart, but he still can't beat Zhang Hong, which shows that this man is not simple.

"Then what did you buy from those prairie people?"

"Some freshly made lamb jerky." Zhang Hong said with a smile, "it's not expensive. It's just that my wife just gave birth to it, and the taste is very strange. I only like to eat this kind of homemade lamb jerky on the grassland. I gave a piece of cloth as a reward."

"What color cloth?" Zhuo Yue asked out loud.

"Blue." Zhang Hong looked at Zhuo Yue, and suddenly said, "This is General Zhuo, I've known him for a long time."

Zhuo Yue twitched the corners of his mouth, but didn't speak.

"Xiaofu always mentioned you as a big brother before, and I always hated that I didn't have the chance to meet the hero face to face." Zhang Hong said with a smile, "It's also thanks to General Zhuo's return this time, otherwise the misunderstanding between me and Xiaofu will never stop. The law is solved."

Looking at his expression when he spoke, those who didn't know would really think that he has a very close relationship with Fu Wang.

It is estimated that if Fu Wang was here, he could kill him with a mouthful of old phlegm.

However, Zhuo Yue didn't bother to listen to his clumsy, yin and yang hints, and said directly: "I don't think there is a misunderstanding between you and Fu Wang, it's clear that you are avenging your personal revenge and slandering him. General Zhang Shen, don't you too" General ’, I have long since ceased to serve in the military.”

Zhang Hong: "..." I felt like I was kicked on an iron board.

A deep smile appeared in Li Changxing's eyes.

Wang Rong next to him was also secretly happy, and he had to hold back a smile and come out to smooth things over: "Okay, General Zhang Shen will go back to rest today, and we will call you if you have any questions."

Zhang Hong stood up and said goodbye with an ugly face.

As soon as he left Zhuo Yue, he curled his lips and said: "I don't think this general is a good person, he hides his sword in his smile. You know about his smuggling of military rations, right? If there is one, there may be two, and there may be three or four."

Wang Rong smiled wryly and said: "I have heard about it. But, he is a relative of the former governor of Yingzhou, and our Lou Family Army should not use our status to offend him too much, otherwise we can't tell."

The identities of the generals who are far away from the border and hold military power are the most embarrassing.If you show off a little bit, you may fall into the tongue and be suspected of disobedience.Therefore, these governors and civil servants can only make offerings.

"And he probably doesn't have the guts, and he doesn't have the channels." Wang Rong added, "Before he smuggled military food, the buyer was a private grain merchant, and the nature of collaborating with the enemy and selling military/fire is still different. If he is really a traitor , How did he get in touch with the prairie people who are far away from abroad?"

Zhuo Yue frowned.Indeed, Zhang Hong has had little contact with the prairie people.Before the war, he had been huddled in the rear to manage some logistics supplies, and he had never even been on the battlefield. Although he had a military rank, he still habitually called himself a "lower official". Even if he wanted to cooperate with the enemy, he probably had no way to do so.

The two chatted for a few more words, and then called someone to bring Liu Fuyu in.

Liu Fuyu still looked gloomy, he was not surprised to see Zhuo Yue when he came in, he snorted coldly, and sat down on the stool.

Seeing that he was also angry, Zhuo Yue's face was very cold.Wang Rong had no choice but to come forward and asked those two questions again.

"I bought the horse feed for that cart." Liu Fuyu said.

"You bought it?" Zhuo Yue asked back, "There are so many ready-made horse feeds in the city that you don't need, why do you have to buy grassland people's horse feed?"

Liu Fuyu said sullenly: "You don't care which one I buy. The grassland people's horse feed is good, and the horses raised are naturally good. As long as I can afford the money, I don't care about me."

Zhuo Yue looked at him coldly, although he had doubts in his heart, he also remembered that Liu Fuyu seemed to like horses very much when he was in the guard.He doesn't care about other military affairs, but he is very diligent in drinking and racing horses every day.

Perhaps Liu Fuyu is really the kind of person who spends a lot of money to buy horse feed.But the straw in that cart was so fluffy that it was just a coincidence that the firecrackers could be hidden inside. Is this also a coincidence?

"Then what did you give the caravan?"

"Two boxes of tea." Liu Fuyu curled his lips, "It's not good tea, it's very cheap. Anyway, those grassland people don't know much about goods."

The last person to come in was Zhang Laohei.

When Zhang Laohei came in, Zhuo Yue involuntarily stiffened and stared at him motionlessly.Zhang Laohei's eyes were a little dim, and after glancing at the crowd, he sat down silently.

"Ask." His voice was hoarse.

Wang Rong was about to speak, but Zhuo Yue preempted him: "What did the prairie people give you?"

Zhang Laohei slowly turned his gaze to Zhuo Yue, and said a word flatly: "Medicine."

Zhuo Yue pursued, "What medicine?"

"The medicine to treat Adanzhu's anemia and the child's congenital deficiency." Zhang Laohei said calmly, "I met the witch doctor in the market in the city, and he said that every course of medicine in the future will be sent south to the grassland caravan in the Central Plains Bring it to us. Check it out, this caravan will come to my house every time it enters the city."

Zhuo Yue frowned tightly.So Zhang Laohei has already found a doctor who can treat the child?But why did he keep hiding it from himself?

Wang Rong asked: "Since the medicine was brought to you by the caravan, why do you frequently use the letter bird to contact the grassland? What is written in the letter?"

Hearing the word "Xinniao", Zhang Laohei's expression was finally shocked, and he glanced at Wang Rong in disbelief.

"Every letter bird is registered in the armory, don't you know it?" Wang Rong said in a deep voice, "Using military letter birds to secretly communicate with the enemy, you are really brave. "

In fact, if Guan Ximing hadn't thoroughly investigated the ordnance department on a sudden whim, he probably wouldn't have discovered the whereabouts of this letter bird.But at this time, Wang Rong deliberately said this in order to expose Zhang Laohei's truth.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Laohei's face was ugly for a while, and finally he sneered nonchalantly: "I'm secretly colluding with the enemy army? Are you going to use me as a scapegoat because you can't find out the traitor? I use the letter bird and grassland It’s true that the witch doctor communicated, the credible only wrote about my wife’s and child’s condition, and there was nothing else in his reply letter. You can check it out, as long as you don’t want to deliberately frame me, I’m not afraid of you checking it out.”

Wang Rong frowned: "Then why don't you use carrier pigeons? Do you have to use carrier birds?"

Zhang Laohei said impatiently: "Untrained carrier pigeons can't find the right place, and they can't be right. My wife and children's illnesses can't afford to delay. If I'm punished for using military supplies for private use, I'll admit my crime."

He paused, then sneered again: "Besides, what you're dealing with today is the case of the theft of firecrackers, right? I was suspended years ago, and I don't even have the key to the warehouse of the Armory Station, so I can't steal firecrackers at all." pistol."

This is true.Among the four people, Zhang Laohei was the least suspicious, because he had been out of work for a long time, and he probably hadn't even seen the appearance of the new batch of firecrackers.

Zhuo Yue gradually clenched his fists, with complicated entanglements in his heart.There was nothing obviously wrong with Zhang Laohei's rhetoric, and it was even very reasonable. Of course, he was willing to believe that Zhang Laohei was innocent.

But I vaguely felt that something was wrong.

I am afraid that it is precisely because he wants to believe that Zhang Laohei is innocent so much that he feels a little panic.

Li Changxing was sitting next to Zhuo Yue, thinking all the time, now he smiled and said, "Brother Hei, since the letter bird is for military use, I'm afraid you can't lend it to others at will, right? Besides, you were suspended at that time, so Who lent you the letter bird?"

When Zhang Laohei heard him call "Brother Hei", his complicated expression flashed past. After hearing his question, his expression became a little stiff, and he replied dryly: "Anyway... I also have some friendship in the armory station. , I borrowed them if I wanted to use them.”

Li Changxing smiled and said, "So who borrowed it?"

Zhang Laohei said sullenly: "I don't remember! I said it earlier, if you want to investigate the crime of using our military property for private use, please feel free!"

Li Changxing raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm not from the military camp, so I'm not qualified to hold you accountable. In the end, it depends on how Vice General Wang will deal with it."

"Okay." Wang Rong interjected, "Come here first today, and we will call you again if you have any questions."

As soon as Zhang Laohei went out, Li Changxing immediately said to Wang Rong: "Vice General Wang, please go and find out who lent the letter bird to Zhang Laohei."

Zhuo Yue immediately frowned, and Wang Rong also hesitated and said, "The third prince suspects Xinniao's matter, which has something to do with the theft of the firecracker? But what Zhang Laohei just said just barely makes sense..."

Li Changxing said with a smile: "Just now when you mentioned Xinniao, Zhang Laohei's face changed obviously, as if he didn't expect us to know about it. But he responded smoothly, with a calm attitude, and he spoke bluntly about the usefulness of Xinniao To be honest, it doesn't look like a fake. And I know Zhang Laohei, if he hadn't prepared in advance, he would definitely not be able to tell such a fluent lie, so what he said is probably the truth."

"Since it is the truth, why do we still need to investigate?"

"His previous answers were very smooth, but I was the only one who became flustered when I asked who lent him the letter bird." Li Changxing said calmly, "Although it is a bad idea to lend military items privately." Small charges are nothing compared to private/collaborating with the enemy. I want to know why Zhang Laohei risked being suspected by us to protect this person."

Wang Rong suddenly realized, and nodded: "It's still the third prince who watches people carefully. I can ask someone to check, but if someone really secretly lent the letter bird to Zhang Laohei, it probably won't be registered."

After the interrogation of the four people, it seems that each has doubts and motives.Both Wang Rong and Zhuo Yue were single-minded generals who were not good at thinking about the twists and turns, so they turned their attention to Li Changxing for help.

Li Changxing smiled and said, "No one has touched the truck of that caravan, has it?"

"No, except that someone took an inventory of the contents inside and put them there intact."

Li Changxing stood up: "Go over there and have a look, maybe you can find some clues."
