Chapter 368 Lost
"They deserve to go to hell, but this is not wartime. We don't have enough reasons and conditions to go directly into the Tatar territory and take action." Ye Lin frowned. His voice was steady and suppressed. Every word was like a heavy stone, hitting the hearts of everyone present.
As soon as Ye Lin finished speaking, Deputy General Luo became anxious. "Are we just going to let it go?"
His voice was filled with anger and unwillingness, his eyes were wide open, his face flushed red, and the veins on his forehead bulged.
"How can we tolerate the Tatars being so arrogant? I just can't swallow this!" Lieutenant General Luo clenched his fists tightly, his whole body trembling slightly with excitement, his anger seemed to ignite the air around him.
Chu Ci watched from the side and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Now she finally understood why those leaders liked smart people. Although Lieutenant General Luo was brave in battle, when he encountered those complicated things that required careful consideration and weighing of the pros and cons, his brain immediately ran out of energy.
Chu Ci was reluctant to teach students for others. She didn't want to do such a thankless task, so she immediately changed the subject: "Besides this, did General Ye find what he was looking for?"
Ye Lin'er did not answer. His face remained grim. He just silently handed the evidence he found to Fan Jingrui, and then said, "Master Fan, why don't you take a look at it yourself?"
Ye Lin's voice was low and suppressed. He never expected that the reason why the food and grass of the Northern Frontier Army were burned was because of the people of the Great Zhou.
Fan Jingrui took the account book from Ye Lin with a serious look, quickly flipped through a few pages, frowned, and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Yuanwailang?"
"How could Cui Liren dare to commit such a serious crime, and behind him is just a mere deputy director of the Ministry of Revenue?" His eyes moved back and forth between the account book and Ye Lin, and the doubts in his heart grew deeper and deeper.
Fan Jingrui couldn't understand why Cui Liren dared to cause such a disaster just because of a small son of a government official.
Fan Jingrui is still emo, but Chu Ci has discovered the highlight.
She frowned and shouted, "Wait, wait. If I remember correctly, the Ministry of Revenue should be in the capital. Then who does Cui Liren plan to give Yangxing to after all the trouble?"
Fan Jingrui's eyes flashed, Ye Lin raised his eyebrows slightly, and then the two looked at each other and said in unison: "Go to the prison and try Cui Liren!"
The two men were full of energy and rushed to the prison.
But the result was beyond everyone's expectation.
What's the point of giving it as a gift? It's just Cui Liren's shameful hobby that he does behind people's back!
After getting such a result, Ye Lin's face was full of helplessness. He felt like he had used all his strength to fight a tiger, but in the end found out that he was just a mouse.
But this is the reality. With a sigh, Ye Lin said, "I came here just to help. I don't know anything else."
This confused Vice General Luo. "(⊙o⊙) What? What does that mean?"
Lieutenant General Luo opened his eyes wide, his face full of confusion and puzzlement.
He totally didn't understand why Ye Lin wanted to leave suddenly. In his opinion, the matter had not been completely resolved.
Deputy General Luo's eyes widened and he said anxiously, "Major General, how can this be possible?"
Ye Lin turned around and patted Deputy General Luo on the shoulder, saying earnestly, "Relax, Lord Fan will not let a wicked man like Cui Liren live in disgrace."
"Okay, now that it's done, we should go back." Ye Lin emphasized again. He looked up at the sky and sighed.
Chu Ci stared at Ye Lin's departing back for a long time. Then she looked at her husband beside her, frowned slightly and said, "Isn't it just not in line with expectations? Why are you so sad?"
Fan Jingrui remained silent, just sighed heavily, his face full of sorrow.
On the contrary, Deputy General Luo said anxiously, "Princess, don't you understand? How difficult was the Zhenbei Army back then? If it weren't for Cui Liren, many of our brothers wouldn't have died."
"They fought bravely on the battlefield, but were plotted against by this treacherous man behind the scenes, resulting in the loss of many innocent lives." His eyes were red and his voice trembled slightly with excitement.
Then he glanced at Fan Jingrui, still muttering: "How can this be let go like this..."
He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white from the force.
Chu Ci nodded slightly and said firmly, "Of course I won't just let it go like this." Her eyes were burning with anger and her tone was firm.
"Since Cui Liren cannot take this responsibility, we will find someone who can take the responsibility." Chu Ci said as he looked in the direction of the Tatar royal court, his eyes full of determination and fearlessness.
Seeing this, Fan Jingrui immediately realized what Chu Ci was thinking. He stepped forward, stood shoulder to shoulder with Chu Ci, and said, "Yes, someone needs to be responsible."
Deputy General Luo stood aside, his face full of confusion, completely unaware of what Fan Jingrui and Chu Ci were trying to do.
His brows were furrowed, his eyes filled with confusion and puzzlement. He opened his mouth to ask something, but didn't know where to start.
However, he believed in Chu Ci, who would pay out of his own pocket to feed the Zhenbei Army.
So, Deputy General Luo clasped his fists and said sincerely: "Then I'll trouble the Princess and Lord Fan to make plans!"
"Although I may be dull, I will do my best to help you if you can help me."
"Of course, of course." Although Chu Ci felt that there was a high probability that she would not need Deputy General Luo's promise, she still agreed quickly. Because she knew very well how anxious and sincere Deputy General Luo was at the moment, and she didn't want to let his enthusiasm go to waste.
Chu Ci had a gentle but firm smile on his face, his eyes full of gratitude and respect for Deputy General Luo, and continued: "We appreciate Deputy General Luo's kindness. With your words, we are more confident in doing things."
Deputy General Luo was slightly startled, then his eyes turned red, and he said with a choked voice: "Princess, as long as you can get justice for the dead brothers, Luo will be grateful! Goodbye--"
After saying that, Lieutenant General Luo took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and then he strode away in the direction of Ye Lin without hesitation.
His steps were firm and powerful, raising a cloud of dust, as if he was venting all the frustration and anxiety in his heart in his hurried footsteps.
After Deputy General Luo left, Chu Ci's expression suddenly changed, no longer serious and solemn, but playful and lively. "Okay, this county lord is going to file a complaint, will your husband come with you?"
Fan Jingrui was stunned at first, then he smiled helplessly and said, "My wife has said so, how can I not accompany you?"
Chu Ci said coquettishly: "Then why are you still dawdling? Let's go."
