Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Chapter 1073: Discussion and Briefing, Leniency for Confession

After these things happened, Qin Ming was also a little curious about their situation.

It stands to reason that the prices for purchasing are different in different places.

Actually, it is understandable.

But Qin Ming discovered that those who were responsible for purchasing had made a fortune.

He was transferred away so quickly.

When this situation occurred, Qin Ming naturally felt a little strange.

So after thinking for a moment, Qin Ming called a few secret guards.

Let them investigate first.

On the other side, Qin Ming's actions attracted some people's attention.

Soon, the news reached the ears of the elders of the Datong sect.

"I just received news that His Majesty has ordered an investigation into the people who purchased these supplies."

"Has the procurement of supplies always been strictly controlled? How could there be a problem?"

"That's true. It shouldn't be a big deal. Even if His Majesty goes to investigate, nothing will happen."

No matter who you are, as long as you are under investigation, you will definitely feel a little nervous.

But fortunately, they are now upright and have nothing to fear.

Of course, there is no need to worry about Qin Ming making too much trouble.

After saying this, they no longer took Qin Ming's matter to heart.

As for Qin Ming arranging the secret guards to go out and do their work,

On the other side, Cao Chuan had already arrived at the local military camp.

There are three routes they are responsible for building, and he, Wu Qingye and Hei Fu are working together on these three routes.

It’s just that Wu Qingye returned to the court recently.

Hei Fushimi hasn't been here recently because of the military school.

So when they arrived at the first construction route that they were originally in charge of.

Cao Chuan didn't say much and directly called all the local generals to discuss the matter.

When they arrived at the military camp, many generals felt that the situation was a bit strange.

The relationship between them and Cao Chuan is still very good.

Many people secretly found Cao Chuan and asked him about the recent situation.

"General Cao, why are we so nervous lately? Is there something wrong with the court?"

"Speaking of which, the imperial court hasn't sent us any silver recently. Could it be that they have no more silver to use?"

"We were working hard on the front lines, and they suddenly called us back. This situation might affect our progress."

Everyone spoke up, their tone very relaxed.

Because for them, the relationship between Qin Ming and them is very good.

In addition, they had been working with Qin Ming in the past few years.

They have also made many contributions, so no one believes that Qin Ming will take action against them now.

Instead, I felt that something must have happened in the court.

They curiously went to Cao Chuan to ask, seeing that they were so relaxed.

Cao Chuan couldn't help but stroke his forehead and sigh.

He really didn't know how to face his old brothers.

After thinking about it, he shook his head and said:

"There are too few people here right now, so I won't tell you yet. We'll talk about it tonight after everyone is here."

Hearing this, everyone was a little curious, but since Cao Chuan had already spoken like this, they naturally couldn't say anything more.

So I sat down and waited.

After two hours of waiting, it finally got dark.

At this time, all the generals from all directions were summoned back by Cao Chuan.

When Cao Chuan saw them disregarding military discipline and whispering to each other, he felt a little moved.

He really didn't expect that this group of people would become the legendary arrogant and powerful generals.

Even when discussing matters, they can be so casual.

Having said that, his face couldn't help but become serious.

Finally, he reached out and knocked on the table, then stood up alone.

After seeing his actions, everyone immediately fell silent.

"Everyone, the situation we are going to discuss today is not a problem of the imperial court, but a problem within our army."

When they heard this, everyone was stunned.

They really didn't expect that Qin Ming would arrange Cao Chuan to come and reorganize the troops.

"What did His Majesty arrange for you to come here for?"

"Aren't you taking us to continue rebuilding the Western Region?"

This immediately made some people dissatisfied.

They spoke one after another, without any regret on their faces.

On the contrary, they felt that Qin Ming's behavior showed that he did not trust them very much.

Faced with these generals who were about to lose their temper, Cao Chuan took out an account book from his arms and threw it on the table with a bang.

"His Majesty did ask me to come and reorganize the troops."

"Everyone has been too greedy recently. Hand over the money within three days, or don't blame me for being rude."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present widened their eyes.

They looked at Cao Chuan in disbelief.

At the beginning, everyone thought that Cao Chuan was on their side.

After all, they have all made great contributions.

All of them were from the South.

Now these generals who came from Lingnan are being targeted by Cao Chuan.

They even have to be investigated, which makes them very angry.

"General Cao, can't you speak for us in front of His Majesty?"

"As the saying goes, 'clear water holds no fish.' We don't think we took much. Besides, sometimes the brothers are too tired, so it's understandable to give them some money to buy them some wine."

"Yes, if we really ask for a full refund, wouldn't that chill the hearts of our brothers?"

Seeing that they were making so many arguments, he even turned around and said that he was not speaking for them.

Cao Chuan was so angry that he slammed the table.

"Do you know why His Majesty specifically called me here? If I hadn't stopped him in front, the ones coming here today would have been secret guards."

"Based on the methods of the secret guards, they will definitely not say much to you. They said that more than half of you will be taken away directly tonight."

When they heard the word "secret guard", everyone present finally changed their expressions.

Although this organization is very helpful to Qin Ming.

But in the eyes of the people below, it is a cancer.

Because anyone taken away by the secret guards will be imprisoned and interrogated.

In addition, the secret guards have a variety of poisons in their hands. Even if they use all of them, they can keep people alive and not die directly.

But being alive is even more painful than being dead.

This also makes many people, after falling into the hands of the secret guards, quickly reveal whatever they know.

Over time, many people have come to think that secret guards are extremely terrifying.

I don't want to have too much contact with them.

But now, he actually dared to let the secret guards directly enter his trusted team to conduct an investigation.

This is tantamount to giving them a final ultimatum.

After hearing this, everyone's face suddenly became dejected.

The dissatisfaction with Qin Ming was also accumulating more and more.
