Chapter 107 Anti-corruption
"I know about this, I'll ask now, where did all the money for the imperial army go!" Chen Fan arranged for someone to find Li Wenhao.

Li Wenhao is a busy person now, and countless money passes through his hands every day, but this kid also has an advantage, that is, he has a photographic memory.

"Li Wenhao, let me ask you, where did the money allocated to the imperial army go?" Chen Fan cut to the chase and asked directly.

"It has been allocated. The army consumes several times as much money as other departments. Every time I allocate it directly to the army first, and then other departments!" Li Wenhao was very impressed by Chen Fan's question. He didn't need to lie to Chen Fan, since what he said was true.

"Do you know that the imperial army hasn't paid their salary for half a year!" Chen Fan's words were like a thunderbolt, which shocked Li Wenhao directly.

"I don't know, every time people from the military department come to collect their money, I give them exactly what they want, but I don't know how the military department distributes them!"

What Li Wenhao said is also a fact. The salary of the military department is always applied for by the military department, and then the funds are allocated, and finally the salary is paid by the military department. Generally, no one cares about it. This is just a continuation of the previous habit of the military department and does Did not reform.

"Okay, in the future, the salaries of the forbidden army will be distributed, and they can't be all paid directly to the military department!" Chen Fan finished explaining, and then called Li Dazhuang.

"Give me the information of the military department!"

After Li Dazhuang heard this, he stood there without moving.

"What's going on?" Li Dazhuang had never disobeyed Chen Fan's orders, but he didn't move this time, which showed that he had a reason.

"what happened?"

Chen Fan didn't understand, according to Xuan Jing's ability, it is impossible that there is no military information here.

"My lord, we don't have much information about the military department. I can recite it for you right now!" Li Dazhuang's words surprised Chen Fan, why didn't they?

"The establishment of our Xuanjing Division is still too short. The military department is a monolith. It is very difficult to infiltrate!" Li Dazhuang's face was very ugly. He had released a lot of people, hoping to break into the military department. , but every time they returned without success, these people were either killed, or they were discovered by the people in the military department and sent back.

"My lord, don't forget that the military department is the power of the National Division!" Li Dazhuang reminded.

This directly made Chen Fan figure it out. Most of the people in the military department are disciples of the Changming Sect who are in charge. They rely on their ancestors as the national teachers, and they are extremely domineering. They are not afraid of people from other departments at all. .

"Is there any movement from the national teacher?" Although Chen Fan didn't believe that the national teacher had any small moves, he couldn't explain that other people could not use the name of the national teacher to bluff outside.

"No, the national teacher hasn't shown up for a long time. His health is a bit bad now, and he said he is going to retire!"

"These days, I put all my strength on the affairs of the military department. I want to take a good look at what the military department looks like now."

Chen Fan wanted to mobilize the army, he first had to say hello to the national teacher Shi Tianhua.

The old man is indeed old now. During this year, Shi Tianhua often had to work until very late before going to bed. In addition, he is not young anymore, and his health is indeed getting worse.

"You want to check the military department?" Shi Tianhua asked Chen Fan directly after hearing Chen Fan's intention.

"Yes, especially the strength of the Changming faction in the military!"

"Okay, this is the list of the Changming faction in the military headquarters. You should check it carefully. I think last time we won six cities at once, there is something strange about it!" Shi Tianhua is so shrewd , he had already seen that something was wrong, but he never said anything.

When attacking the state of Wu, more than 3000 soldiers were killed in the first city captured, but in the subsequent wars, more than 3000 soldiers were killed in battle. There was an unexpected light, but it is said that the fight behind was extremely tragic, and the loss could not be so small.

Chen Fan decided to investigate from these people.

The current highest officer of the military department is Shang Zhengliang, who is the current honorary elder of the Changming Sect and a disciple of the Changming Sect.

Chen Fan bought some gifts, took a few people with him, and planned to go to the store to have a look.

If you want to know whether an official is a corrupt official, it is very simple, just go to his house and have a look.

Chen Fan knocked on the door of the business with someone.

The person who opened the door was a veteran in his 40s with some disabilities in his legs.

"Master Chen, please!"

From Chen Fan's point of view, the business is very simple. Apart from this old servant, there are several servants. These servants are more or less disabled. Judging from their behavior style, these servants should be all A person who has been discharged from the military after being injured.

Shang Zhengliang was already waiting for Chen Fan and the others in the lobby.

"Master Chen, is that the gust of wind that brought you here?" Shang Zhengliang is not young anymore, he is over 50 years old, but from the outside, he doesn't seem to be so old, he is only in his early forties.

"I don't have anything to do at home, so I came to see the old general!" Chen Fan chatted with Shang Zhengliang, and sat down according to the guest and host.

"Why does the old general's family look so poor? Could it be that the money from the Ministry of Finance is not in place?"

Chen Fan didn't beat around the bush with Shang Zhengliang, but directly expressed his opinion.

"Haha, you can't say that. The finance department will give us soldiers a lot of money every month. Look at the current soldiers, which one is not the master of money. As for me, I am a bachelor and I want so much money." What are you doing with the money? Besides, I’m still an elder, and I’m not short of money, so I gave the financial money to the families of some soldiers who died in battle!”

What Shang Zhengliang said was very righteous, as if he was a saint.

"The old general really loves soldiers like a son!" Chen Fan couldn't see any clues in the store, and felt that he was an old general who was very dedicated to the country.However, Chen Fan had an intuition that this Shang Zhengliang was definitely not simple.

It's just that something is not simple, and Chen Fan couldn't find the reason for a while.

The two chatted here for a while, then Chen Fan got up and left.

At this time, Shang Zhengliang secretly wiped his sweat. When he was talking to Chen Fan just now, he used all his energy, for fear that Chen Fan would see it.

"Did you see anything wrong?" Chen Fan asked Li Dazhuang beside him.

"No, their family can't see anything wrong, but I feel something is wrong, this should not be the life of a general!" Li Dazhuang couldn't say it well either.

"My lord, we have heard that this Shang Zhengliang is not a bachelor, he seems to have a wife!" Along with Chen Fan was Tang Wenyuan who had just returned from Wu.
