    The matter is very strange. Zhang Quan, the governor of Yanzhou, firmly believes that the thieves must be disguised as soldiers and horses of the Dongping Army. All the evidence points to the Dongping Army. However, Meng Ju cannot find the subordinates who are qualified to commit the crime. Now, he has  It was found out that none of the most suspected border troops had the time or opportunity to commit the crime.

    "My lord, it's obvious." Seeing this, Wang Beixing was immediately relieved. He said, "This was not done by our people. My lord, we might as well reply to Yanzhou. They are making random speculations without any basis. How can this happen?"  Can you take it seriously?"

    After the matter was found out, it was not done by Dongping soldiers and horses, and Meng Ju felt a lot more relaxed - this proved that the army was still firmly in his hands.  But for some reason, he always felt that something was wrong, as if he had missed something important.

    "Beixing, do you have control over all our troops in Jeju?"

    "That's natural. I don't dare to tell you everything about the situation in the Jeju camp, but I still know the general situation."

    Meng Ju shook his head: "Beixing, I'm not just asking about the soldiers and horses of the Jeju camp. In addition to the Jeju camp, what other soldiers and horses are active in Jeju?"

    Wang Bei  Rural soldiers, as well as some soldiers and horses passing by on business, came one after another, it is really impossible to count."

    Meng Ju thought: "Soldiers and horses passing by on business? You are talking about"

    "A few days ago, the Governor of Jianghai brought a brigade of troops down from Jizhou. He said that he was going south to recruit refugees, and that he had obtained the approval of the lord. When I saw his official document, it was indeed approved by the Reference Office, lord.  Since you also signed, I ordered the following to let me go¡ªwhat, my lord, don¡¯t you know about this?¡±

    Meng Ju was thoughtful. He and Mr. Wen looked at each other and saw the shock in the other's eyes.

    Mr. Wen replied on Meng Ju¡¯s behalf: ¡°Captain Jiang did ask my lord for instructions on this matter. My lord also knew about it, but I didn¡¯t expect Governor Jiang to act so quickly. Governor Wang, how many people do Governor Jiang have on this road?¡±

    "The number of transit troops approved by Governor Jiang is 1,100. The actual number of troops - I think it's almost a thousand or so."

    "When did they arrive in Jeju?"

    "The first time they came was on October 29th Since then, they seem to have stayed near Anping City."

    "Where are these soldiers and horses stationed? Are they in the camp?"

    "The general also asked Governor Jiang if he needed the camp to provide food and accommodation. Governor Jiang said no, they could solve the problem of food and accommodation by themselves. So the general just let it go. They found their own residence, in Anping  Liuzhuangli near the city."

    Meng Ju said "Hey".  He also knew about Liuzhuang, a small village near the border of Yanzhou.

    In fact, the first moment he heard the name "Jiang Hai", Meng Ju had an intuition in his heart: It was most likely him who did it.  Except for this bold guy, no one else is so bold!

    Mr. Wen looked at him: "My lord, do you want us to call Governor Jiang back for questioning?"

    Meng Ju pursed his lips tightly. After a while, he shook his head: "What are you asking? Now we have no evidence. If Governor Jiang denies it, then we can't prove it. Mr. Wen, Governor Jiang is a veteran of our army after all.  We must be cautious about such a heavyweight general, and we must investigate clearly before speaking, so as not to unjustly accuse a good person."

    Everyone present nodded in agreement: "My lord, what you said makes sense."

    Everyone present was enlightened.  Meng Ju wanted to seize the opportunity and kill Jiang Hai.  Now call Jiang Hai back for questioning. After being questioned, Jiang Hai will definitely be alert.  If he had just stopped taking action.  Then it might be difficult to find evidence against him.  But now, the lord kept saying that he didn't want to "unjustly accuse a good man", but in fact, he didn't want to alarm Jiang Hai, so he wanted to investigate secretly, and wanted to wait for the evidence to be confirmed before questioning him, which was a fatal blow.

    "Well, no one is allowed to leak what happened today. Beixing, I will leave the investigation of this matter to you, okay?"

    Wang Bei  Please, my lord, support some experts who are proficient in criminal cases to help."

    "Experts who are proficient in criminal cases? Beixing, if you are in Dongping and you want to find experts in criminal cases, I can send you people from the Jing'an Department or the Provincial Department at any time, ten or eight will be no problem. But here, we  To find manpower for criminal cases, we had to borrow people from the local government in Jeju. But this matter may involveWhen it comes to the important generals of our army, it is also related to the reputation of our army. It would be bad if outsiders know about it.  "

    "My lord, you have misunderstood. There is no need to borrow people from the local government. I only need a master beside you." Wang Beixing pointed at Liu Zhen: "Brother Liu is a criminal case expert from Dongling Guard. I want to  Borrow him to help. Of course, the general also knows that Brother Liu is smart and capable, and he is a capable man beside the lord. He is also indispensable for the lord. However, in order to get to the bottom of the case as soon as possible, the general still dares to ask the lord to endure the pain.  Give it up."

    Hearing that Wang Beixing gave himself such a high evaluation and praised himself as a "smart and capable right-hand man", the fat man Liu Zhen suddenly became interested. He looked around triumphantly, his face flushed, and he felt that he was being taken very seriously. He grinned and said:  "Captain Wang is too complimentary, too flattering!"

    Meng Ju knew it all: We are all old men from Dongling Guard in Jing'an. How could Wang Beixing not know who Fatty Liu was?  Speaking of experts in criminal cases, Yu Shujian is the number one person in the Dongping Department. The next thousand people in line may not be Fatty Liu.

    Meng Ju also understands Wang Beixing's intentions. Internal investigation is really a thankless job, which is both dangerous and annoying.  If you do this kind of thing too seriously, you will be hated by your subordinates and colleagues. If you do it perfunctorily, the Lord will not be able to do anything.

    But as the commander of the Chinese army at Jeju Camp, Wang Beixing could not refuse this task.  He simply hired someone from Meng Ju's side - it wasn't that he really needed help from Liu Zhen, a half-full criminal case officer, Wang Beixing just needed someone to help share the pressure.  In this way, to his colleagues, he could say that the lord's cronies were watching me, and there was nothing he could do about it; if the results of the investigation failed, he also had an explanation for Meng Ju: Fatty Liu can prove that I didn't let him go.  .

    Having been in a high position for a long time, Meng Ju is also very aware of the thoughts of his subordinates.  He nodded and said: "In that case, let the fat man go to your side to help. I'm just worried that this lazy guy will not be able to help you, but will cause trouble."

    Liu Zhen was overjoyed when he heard this - he had been doing odd jobs around Meng Ju for many days since he had been in Jeju, and he had long been bored.  Now that he finally had something serious to do, he was really overjoyed. He patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, boss. I'm going over there. I will obey the command of Governor Wang in everything and never mess up. This case. I promise that it will be done within a month."  I¡¯ll help you get to the bottom of it, and I¡¯ll definitely help you uncover the tail of that guy from Jiang Hai!¡±

    Wang Bei  I'm holding you back, my lord. Don't worry, the general will work with Brother Liu to find out the matter clearly."

    Looking at the rosy Liu Zhen, and then at Wang Beixing with a simple and honest smile, Meng Ju smiled bitterly: "Then, you two are more considerate, I will wait and see."

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    It happened to be such a coincidence.  Meng Ju had just formed an investigation team against Jiang Hai in the morning. In the afternoon, the guard came to report: "My lord, Governor Jiang of Jizhou has come to ask for an audience."

    Meng Ju looked up from the document.  He said in surprise: "Jiang Hai, what is he doing here?"

    "Director Jiang said that he wanted to report on the progress of the work some time ago, and he would like to ask the Lord to take some time to listen to his report."

    Meng Ju narrowed his eyes slightly: Jiang Hai had just reported to him a month ago about the situation in Jizhou.  In such a short period of time, there can't be many changes in Jizhou, so when Jiang Hai comes over today, it's really a bit strange.

    "Could it be that the meeting just held in the morning and the news was leaked?"

    This idea flashed through Meng Ju¡¯s mind, but he quickly rejected it.  In the morning meeting, Mr. Humanities, Wang Beixing and Fatty Liu participated, all of whom were close confidants.  If they can't believe it, then there really isn't anyone who can.  Both Wang Beixing and Mr. Wen knew the seriousness of the matter and would not talk nonsense. The only thing they were worried about was Fatty Liu. If this guy drank too much and spilled the beans - but this was impossible, Fatty Liu was still in his house now, so he had not yet  A chance to go out for a drink!

    "Please wait a moment, Governor Jiang, I'll be there."

    When Meng Ju entered, Jiang Hai was sitting on a chair in the living room with a calm expression. When he saw Meng Ju, he calmly stood up and saluted: "I will finally see you, my lord!"

    "You are exempt from the courtesy, Governor Jiang." Meng Ju looked at Jiang Hai. From the calm and calm expressions of his subordinates, he could not find any trace of uneasiness - this did not look like a person with ghosts in his heart.

    Seeing that Jiang Hai was so calm, Meng Ju began to doubt himself: Did he guess the wrong person?

    ¡°Director Jiang, I¡¯m very busy here too, so I¡¯ll give you a quarter of an hour, is that enough?¡±

      Jiang Hai bowed slightly: "Half an hour is enough. I am here this time because of the migration of refugees southward."

    "It's still the same thing - Jianghai, as I said last time, the base camp can't come up with food or money now. You Jizhou have to find a solution for this matter."

    "Yes, following your instructions last time, my lord, I have found a way to raise a batch of money and grain. Now I am reporting to my lord: as of yesterday, we have raised a total of 5,365 dan of grain and 40,000 pieces of silver.  One thousand five hundred and twenty-one taels, more than 3,000 pieces of cloth and silk, more than 2,200 cattle, horses, donkeys, mules and other livestock, more than 2,000 vehicles for transporting supplies and various other complicated items,  The number has not been calculated yet, so I can only report it to you, my lord, next time.¡±

    Meng Ju was startled and said solemnly, "Jiang Hai, where did you get so much grain, money, and grain?"

    "I will eventually find a way to raise it"

    "Where did you get it?! Tell me!"

    Jiang Hai sighed, as if he had been forced by Meng Ju to confess: "The general didn't want you to know about this, my lord, so as not to upset you"

    "Stop talking nonsense! Could it be that what happened in Yanzhou a few days ago"

    "Yes. In order to raise military resources, the general can only make his own decisions because the food is lost to the enemy."

    There was an embarrassing silence, and Jiang Hai took the initiative to admit the matter so happily that Meng Ju didn't know how to continue asking. After a while, he said: "Our army strictly prohibits private robbery of civilians, Jiang Hai."  Commander, don¡¯t you know?¡±

    Jiang Hai raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "My lord, the general has not moved in the area under our military jurisdiction. The common people here, the general has not moved at all! And the imperial court is our enemy, weaken the enemy and strengthen us."  In the army, I think this is something worthy of encouragement. It does not constitute a violation of military discipline."

    Meng Ju wanted to say that the people on the other side of the court should not move around, but he didn't say anything.  He just swallowed it himself - in this regard, he himself was really not qualified to train others.  The last time he led his army to the north, he plundered two cities on the way back. In this regard, he was really not qualified to accuse Jiang Hai of violating military discipline.

    Meng Ju thought about it, but he could only seize on Jiang Hai's unauthorized action: "Governor Jiang, the mobilization of troops and horses of the first brigade must be reviewed and approved by the Reference Office. You acted without permission"

    Jiang Hai politely interrupted Meng Ju: "I'm sorry, lord, the general did not do it without authorization, but asked for your instructions, lord."

    Meng Ju couldn't help but shouted: "Jiang Hai, are you dizzy? When did I approve you to go to Yanzhou to kill people and steal goods?"

    Jiang Hai said seriously: "My lord, I will submit a report to you last time. Requesting the allocation of grain and money to support the recruitment of refugees. Your reply is to let Jizhou raise grain and money on its own. Governor Jiang will make the final decision in response to the matter. No need to report.  I'.

    ??Also, when the general asked you for instructions last time, you said the same thing, and you agreed that the general can freely and fully raise military resources.  Mr. Wen was also present that time. If you don¡¯t believe me, can you summon him to ask?  "

    Meng Ju was absolutely furious: "Yes, I let you make the decision on recruiting refugees, but where did I give you permission to enter Yanzhou to kill people and buy goods?"

    "Ah, this is because the general is stupid and misunderstood the lord's meaning. But at that time, after much thought, the general had to raise a large amount of grain and money in a short period of time. Apart from robbery, there was really no other good way  Since the lord said that the general would have full authority to make the decision, the general would really be bold enough to make the decision. Fortunately, the several operations yielded great results and there were very few casualties. This was also due to the lord's great fortune and the soldiers' lives.

    Since the lord feels that this is inappropriate, he will just stop here.  But there is something that I have to report to my lord. Some time ago, although we in Jizhou raised some grain, if we have to cope with the influx of tens of thousands of refugees, this reserve is still far from enough. The gap is  The last general who dares to ask the lord must consider it.  "

    Meng Ju stared at Jiang Hai, feeling that the matter was extremely difficult.

    In Meng Ju's imagination, things should go like this: After careful investigation, Wang Beixing and Liu Zhen obtained conclusive evidence that Jiang Hai and his 91st Brigade committed the crime. Then they summoned Jiang Hai and sternly questioned him about the truth in public, but  Jiang Hai insisted on denying the sophistry and refused to admit it.  In the end, he took out the evidence on the spot and displayed it in public. The evidence was so overwhelming that Jiang Hai could not deny it and could only confess his crime.  Witnessing this process with their own eyes, all the generals were filled with righteous indignation. They all said in unison that the Jianghai traitor had committed many evil deeds and deceived the lord, so he should be killed!  So he complied with the opinions of the public and divided Jiang Hai, removed him from his post, demoted him, or even more harshly, simply imposed military law on him. This was all logical and logical.It's a matter of course.

    What Meng Ju didn¡¯t expect was that Jiang Hai would take the initiative to report the matter to him without even having to ask him.  In his words, the case in Yanzhou was not a crime at all, but just an ordinary daily job. The number of silver taels and livestock robbed by the 91st Brigade was no different than the number of acres of wasteland reclaimed in Jizhou.

    His frank and unabashed attitude made Meng Ju at a loss.  What can I do to him?  Jiang Hai did not deny it and admitted that the purpose was to raise military resources. His fault was that he misunderstood Meng Ju's intentions.

    So, how should you deal with this matter?

    For a moment, Meng Ju was really hesitant.  Originally, "Jiang Hai sent troops without authorization, killed and plundered innocent people, plundered people's property, aroused public anger, and corrupted military discipline. He should be punished for his crime!" - When this crime was revealed, Jiang Hai had ten heads cut off, and no one could save him.  , but after Jiang Hai took the initiative to admit it, the nature of the matter completely changed.

    "In order to raise military resources for the base camp, Governor Jiang took great risks and led a small number of soldiers and horses in disguise to sneak deep into the enemy's territory. He used clever tactics to defeat several cities and earned a large sum of money for our army."

    As long as the purpose is good, even if the means are a little excessive, it is completely forgivable.  Meng Ju could imagine that in the eyes of many people, Jiang Hai's behavior was not only faultless, but also contributed to the Dongping Army.  Although he violated military discipline and robbed people's property, he was robbing people from the imperial court and did no harm to the Dongping Army. If Meng Ju punished Jiang Hai for this - at that time, many people would definitely plead grievances for Jiang Hai.  Meng Ju mishandled it, which is called "self-destruction of the Great Wall".

    "After all, Governor Jiang is only doing it to complete the mission assigned by the lord. He does this entirely for the great cause of our Dongping Army! If Governor Jiang is punished, who will be willing to work for our Dongping Army next time?  ?¡±
