I hate Douluo

Chapter 265: Grounding the Prince

After Audas escorted the grain away, Xiao Guanjie returned to the lobby of the logistics department. Xue Qinghe was already sitting in front of the hall waiting for him.

"Master Xiao, have everything been settled?"

"Back...back to His Royal Highness, the 200,000 kilograms of military rations have been allocated in full, and 500 grain depot soldiers and 100 taels of carriages have also been dispatched to escort them."

Xiao Guanjie's voice was obviously trembling. He also had a premonition that something was going to happen. He knelt down in front of the hall and didn't even dare to look up at Xue Qinghe.

"Master Xiao, His Majesty ordered a thorough investigation into the non-distribution of military rations. Do you know why he ordered the distribution of military rations for the front line half a month ago but has not yet been able to do so."

Xiao Guanjie was trembling all over at this moment. He knew that delaying the distribution of military rations was a capital crime. Although it was Xue Qinghe's intention at the beginning, it was clear that Xue Qinghe now wanted to pull the logistics department out to take the blame.

So as the chief officer of the Logistics Department, he is the first to bear the brunt.

Xu Guanjie looked around and saw that there was no one except Xue Qinghe's confidants, and then he began to beg for mercy.

"Your Highness, please spare your life. Isn't this what you meant at the beginning? Please, Your Highness, please save my life for the sake of our loyalty and loyalty."

"You bastards, are you all pig-minded? I just asked you to strictly follow the rules, but you dared to directly withhold the military rations. Do you still blame me now?

Now that His Majesty has ordered a thorough investigation, what do you think I can do? If such a big thing happened, we must give an explanation to His Majesty and the soldiers on the front line! "

Xue Qinghe's reprimand made Xiao Guanjie and others feel even colder. If the logistics department didn't find someone to blame, they might all die, and even their clan members would be implicated.

Xiao Guanjie took a deep breath and closed his eyes silently. He was already sure that the prince was going to operate on him.

Only in this way can the reputation of the prince be maintained. Otherwise, even if the prince is dragged into the water, it will not be possible to move to the prince. By then, none of their clan members will be spared.

"Your Highness, everything is caused by the official's negligence. The official is willing to bear all the responsibilities. I also ask that the prince can take good care of the official's family!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Xiao, I will definitely take good care of your family and won't let them be implicated at this time. The people who came here will take the Secretary of the Logistics Department, the case manager, the tips, etc., and put them all into the sky prison, and they will be punished after hearing this!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Xiao, I will definitely excuse you in front of His Majesty, and I will find a way to save your lives no matter what."

After Xue Qinghe gave the order, he went to Xiao Guanjie's side and gave his assurance in private, igniting a glimmer of hope in their hearts.

After the matter of withholding military rations was resolved, Xue Qinghe should report to Emperor Xue Ye and hurried back to the palace.

In the living hall, Emperor Xueye was still reviewing various memorials coming from the front line.

"Father, my ministers have already found out about the seizure of frontline military rations. Xiao Shangshu also confessed to this, admitting that it was his negligence on duty and that he forgot about the distribution of military rations in the court case. Now a group of people have been detained. After leaving the prison, I will listen to my father-in-law’s decision.”

After hearing this, Emperor Xueye slowly put down the memorial in his hand.

"Withholding military rations affects the frontline war and shakes the morale of the soldiers. How can such a matter that shakes the foundation of the country be settled by just forgetting it in court?

Xiao Guanjie neglected his duties and should have killed the three clans. Thinking that the war was tight now, so as not to shake the people's hearts by going on a killing spree, he sent an order to kill Xiao Guanjie and others at the entrance of the market at noon the day after tomorrow to enforce the law of the country. "

"Father, this... son, I accept your order."

Xue Qinghe did not expect that Emperor Xue Ye would be so decisive. There were twelve people in Xiao Guanjie's spear, but Emperor Xue Ye actually killed them all without blinking an eye.

Besides, Xiao Guanjie was still an important minister of the empire. At this moment, Xue Qinghe really couldn't understand Emperor Xue Ye.

"Prince, as the prince who supervises the logistics department, if such a big mistake has been made, don't you have any responsibility?"

"My son, I know I was wrong, please ask my father to punish me!"

"I will punish you by being grounded in the East Palace for a month. You are not allowed to leave the East Palace even half a step without my order. In addition, you will no longer be in charge of the logistics department. It is best for you to rest assured that your prince will be fine and don't cause any more problems."

Emperor Xue Ye's punishment was clearly intended to oust the prince. How could Xue Qinghe hand over his real power so easily.

"Father, if something like this happens, I cannot absolve myself of the blame. I would like to stop intervening in the logistics department. But if the patrol army does not let me manage it, then how will I train myself in the future?"

Emperor Xue Ye glanced at Xue Qinghe, with helplessness in his eyes.

"Okay! During your confinement period, you are not allowed to interfere in any affairs. After the confinement is over, you can continue to manage your patrol army. It is also a good time to reflect on it in the East Palace during this time. Colleagues, this month, the patrol army will have Commander Qiu Manage on your behalf.”

"My dear father, I thank you!"

After Xue Qinghe resigned, Emperor Xue Ye sighed deeply again.

"Prince, Prince, what exactly do you want to do? Why do you try your best to place your own people in the court and obstruct the war on the front line? Are you so impatient to become the emperor of the empire? This is not like what you did before. Character.

It's a pity that for Xiao Guanjie, a capable prosecutor was hired. If not, he would have become a pillar of the empire in the future."

Emperor Xueye's sigh showed how helpless he felt. He always had unspeakable suspicions about the prince and had to take precautions.

After Xue Qinghe returned to the East Palace, the anger in his heart couldn't help but want to be vented.

After taking a sip of tea, he smashed the teacup into pieces, scaring the attendants and retreating in fright.

"what……"

"Get out, get everyone out of here!"

These attendants left in panic under Xue Qinghe's scolding. Xue Qinghe looked at the broken teacup on the ground, still full of anger.

"This old guy really has some tricks up his sleeve. He just quietly killed the confidant I had cultivated for many years. I really underestimated him.

Now he wants to use this incident to evade my rights. How can I do what he wants? It’s just that this old guy should have signs of poisoning. Why is he still so energetic? It seems that he is really starting to doubt me. . "

Xue Qinghe also couldn't figure out where the flaw was that aroused Emperor Xue Ye's suspicion.

"Young Master, why are you so angry?" It was Flame Eagle Douluo who spoke.

"Elder Yanying, how is the matter of mobilizing Spirit Masters from the Spirit Hall to join the patrol army completed?"

Flame Eagle Douluo smiled slightly, with a very confident face, and said: "Don't worry, young master, I have mobilized 300 soul masters from the soul sect and above to join the patrol army. Among them, there are 20 soul saints. I don't know. When is the young master going to take action?"

"Now is not the time. At this time, the old guy has doubts about me. He must have taken precautions.

In addition, in Tiandou City, the empire has at least four titled Douluo, and that Tang Yuehua is still a super strong man.

So we'd better wait a little longer, and when the old guy is poisoned, we'll take advantage of the chaos and take action. "
