God-level impostor

Chapter 277 Theory
Sun Geng said expressionlessly, "Master Imperial Envoy, if this matter is our fault, the subordinate officials will definitely give you an explanation, but you can't just throw the blame on the new army based on their one-sided words, right?"

"Well, General Sun, just ask your people in front of this imperial envoy, if you don't believe they can turn black and white and make up flowers!" Zhong Qing said coldly.

Sun Geng no longer paid attention to him, but looked at the new troops surrounding him, "Tell the truth, tell the truth, what is going on, and don't make any lies, otherwise military law will be enforced."

A new soldier next to him replied with a face full of grievance, "Reporting to the chief instructor, what happened was like this. We were eating barbecue next to the campfire. The guards rushed over and saw that the meat on the campfire had been divided. They wanted to We gave them the meat in our hands, but the brothers were still hungry, so of course they wouldn’t give it to us. They would scold us when they opened their mouths, and beat us when they raised their hands. They were the first to beat the brothers, so everyone fought back."

After listening to him, Sun Geng followed Zhongqing's example and asked other people.Everyone testified, that's what happened.

"Master Imperial Envoy, the matter has been clarified. Look... Is it because our people should not open their mouths to scold or fight back?" After Sun Geng asked, he turned Zhongqing back.

Zhong Qing's face turned a little pale. Things were different from what his subordinates said!

He turned around and asked sternly, "Tell me, is it what they said? You were the one who robbed them of their flesh and beat and scolded them first?"

The guard who answered before spat out a mouthful of blood and said, "My lord, you are scolding, we are the ones who started it first, but why do we eat coarse grain vegetable soup when they eat meat? Ask them for some meat, why don't you give it to us?" ? Didn’t you despise us?”

Zhongqing knew that his side was at fault, but he refused to let himself be passive no matter what. Although he was annoyed, he didn't want to admit that it was his side's problem. He grasped what the guard said and questioned Sun Gengdao, "Sun General, you heard it too, why does your new army eat meat and feed those guards something that pigs don't even eat?"

Sun Geng laughed out loud, and after laughing, he took a thick stack of ledgers from a person next to him, and handed them to Zhong Qing, "Master Imperial Envoy, if I remember correctly, all the logistics supplies for the new army are provided by Zhong Qing. The prime minister personally decided that this is all the military supplies ledger, and all the supplies in it are things that these pigs don’t eat. But the beef and mutton were not supplied by the court, but by King Xiaoyao who saw that the food of the brothers was too poor. The money allocated to the new army from the royal family's treasury, that is to say, the meat that the brothers eat is treated by King Xiaoyao, who invites the brothers to eat. If you treat someone else, if your people look delicious, come over and ask for it, and if you don't give it, call them. Just grab, is this the soldier Zhongxiang brought out?"

Zhongqing took the ledger, opened it for a few glances, and threw it back to Sun Geng.

He didn't answer Sun Geng's remarks, but turned to Lin Chen and asked, "King Xiaoyao, you have paid such a huge sum of money to support the new army. Are you buying the army's morale? What is your intention?"

This question is a bit embarrassing, and the hat is too big.

Lin Chen curled his lips and smiled, and said to the new army on the third and outer floors, "Brothers, you have also heard that Zhong Xiang is very dissatisfied with this king giving you meat, and he suspects that this king has ulterior motives. The king is buying the hearts of the soldiers. Moreover, I have already been taken down as the chief instructor. Even if I feel sorry for everyone's health, there is nothing I can do. If I don't become the chief instructor and then subsidize meat for everyone, I am afraid that some people will say that this is Lin's private army. After today's farewell, this king will go to the court for trial, everyone take care of yourself!"

"Damn it, we don't train anymore, we're going to the capital to testify for the prince, to avenge the prince's grievance."

Immediately, the new army was agitated and everyone started shouting.

"Are you going to rebel?" Zhong Qing shouted loudly to the noisy new army when he saw Lin Chen lighting up the fire and watching the fun with his arms folded as if nothing happened.

"The imperial envoy labeled us again, saying we were rebellious? Damn it, I'm quitting, and I'm being mad at him."

I don't know who in the chaotic crowd suddenly yelled such a voice, and the rest of the people also started to yell. Some people took off their military uniforms, threw their knives and guns aside, and the scene lost control in an instant.

"Come on, go to the capital, and now go to the saint to appeal for grievances."

Someone shouted loudly again, and the rest followed suit.

Lin Chen cleared his throat and said loudly, "Shut up, everyone, don't go to the capital. Now that the king is in danger, if you go again, you will definitely be caught by this matter and planted on the king, which will only harm you." I'm the king. You should train here with peace of mind, and obey the arrangement of the instructor Sun. The imperial edict received by the king is to go to Beijing immediately, and the king is going now. I hope that I can come back alive to meet you in the future. !"

After speaking, Lin Chen bowed to the new legion, then turned and left, disappearing into the dark night.

"Congratulations to the lord."

The new army knelt down one after another. Each of them knew very well how much Lin Chen had paid for them, although the digging of rocks was done for Lin Chen's private work.But as the chief instructor, even if Lin Chen didn't pay a penny, they had to do it.But Lin Chen was not that mean. The meat alone cost them millions of taels of silver. For 5 people, 100 taels per person is 500 million taels.

Not to mention anything else, Xiaoyao Wang is righteous, this is a place where they feel particularly warm in a foreign land.

"If you don't go to the capital, you don't go to the capital. Anyway, we are not good soldiers. Even if King Xiaoyao is persecuted for serving the country so loyally, we soldiers probably don't know how to die. What's more, what kind of family should we protect and serve the country? I still have to be bullied for eating a few pieces of meat, anyway, I’m quitting, this soldier is no longer a soldier, if you brothers are all responsible, think about it yourself!” Seeing Lin Chen disappearing into the night, someone in the crowd shouted again .

Zhongqing tried hard to look at the crowd, but there were so many people and the sky was so dark that it was impossible to tell who it was.

"I quit. Zhongqing controls the sky with one hand, controls the government and the public, eliminates dissidents, and avenges private enemies. As long as Zhongqing is here, I shouldn't be a soldier." Before the person who just spoke could be found, another voice sounded again.

This time, the new army didn't just talk, some people started to leave the crowd and walked outside the barracks.

If there is one who takes the lead, there are those who follow. More and more people are leaving, and the crowds are leaving in different directions.

Even Sun Geng yelling to stop it didn't help.

In the end, seven or eight out of ten of the [-] new troops left, and the rest left the barracks after some hesitation, without a trace.

"General Sun, you are ineffective in commanding the army, and I will impeach you in the end." Zhong Qing said with a cold face.

Sun Geng's face was also ugly, he stared at Zhongqing and said, "The lower officials will also report today's events truthfully, who is right and wrong, please the emperor decide."
