The follower was locked in the barracks where the Four Guards were stationed outside the city.

When Xue Shu passed, the people below had already gone through a round of interrogation. Seeing Xue Shu coming, they hurriedly moved the tables and chairs over to ask him to sit down, and served hot tea courteously.

"What's wrong?" Xue Shu asked.

"It's all confessed. It's a soft bone. The rebels sent to follow him. Before the sentence was over, he confessed everything he knew." The subordinate held the confession to him with both hands.

Xue Shu took it, but raised his eyebrows slightly: "There is also turmoil within the rebel army?"

According to this person's account, he was the one arranged by the Buddha's mother Gao Youwen to follow, but not specifically to follow Yin Chengyu, but to follow the saint.

The Red British Army is called the Army, but it was actually developed from the Red Lotus Sect, and the rebels are also members of the Red Lotus Sect.Therefore, the entire Red Lotus Sect is still guided by the leader, the Buddha's mother, Gao Youwen.

But Gao Youwen alone can't support such a big church, so under the Buddha Mother, there are saintesses and left and right protectors respectively.

The saint is responsible for managing all the miscellaneous affairs in the church, and the left and right protectors each hold a part of the military power.

According to this person's account, the saint Ying Hongxue and the Buddha's mother Gao Youwen were originally sisters in the nunnery, and the Red Lotus Sect was jointly founded by the two.It's just that Gao Youwen, the elder, is revered as the leader.Ying Hongxue was more than ten years younger than Gao Youwen, so she was only made a saint, but she has always been the default leader of the Red Lotus Sect.Not only was she responsible for many things in the church, but even the uprising, the establishment of the Red Army, and the transfer from Putai to Yidu Shizhai were all Ying Hongxue's ideas.

It's just that as the Red Army gradually grew, and after several fights with the court, Gao Youwen and Ying Hongxue disagreed about the future development of the Red Army.

Gao Youwen wants to accept the imperial court's offer to live a peaceful and prosperous life, but Ying Hongxue thinks that the imperial court is corrupt and untrustworthy, so she firmly refuses to accept the offer.

This conflict has been born since the Red Lotus Sect took root in Xiishizhai, but the two sides have been arguing with each other until a few days ago, it seems that Gao Youwen reached a deal with the people of the court in private.

After Ying Hongxue found out about this deal, she angrily reprimanded Gao Youwen for being short-sighted and self-defeating. Afterwards, she and Protector You defected to the Red Army with her confidantes and disappeared.

Gao Youwen heard that the crown prince went to Qingzhou to quell the chaos, and he was afraid that Ying Hongxue would ruin his good work, so he sent his confidants to Yidu to follow up.

The follower had never seen Yin Chengyu, but saw the two entering the city late at night, and one of them had his chest folded and his shoulders shrunk, his head lowered so that he couldn't see his face clearly, fearing that someone from Ying Hongxue would sneak in, so he quietly followed behind.

I just didn't expect to be unlucky and bump into Xue Shu's hand.

"That's interesting." Xue Shu snorted, saw the man shivering like a sieve in the corner, and said, "Take care of him, save his life first. Then call the scattered spies and tell them to be vigilant. Keep an eye on Xu Hui."

After that, he returned to his military tent first.

The Four Guards Camp was stationed outside the city. As a prison officer, he naturally had his own military tent, and ordered someone to bring hot water into the tent, so he took off his robe and used hot water to relieve his fatigue.

After running around all day during the day, the body should be extremely exhausted, but because of the incident in Hualou, the spirit is extremely excited.

Xue Shu was immersed in the hot water, his arms were hanging outside the barrel, and he was holding the snow-white coat in his hand.

The fabric of the middle coat is soft, and there is still a faint fragrance of Xueling plum.

Xue Shu buried his face in it, took a deep breath, and the desire that had been suppressed surged up again.

He closed his eyes slightly, but what he recalled in his mind was Yin Chengyu's angry and fragile expression when he covered his mouth and was forced to sit on his lap.At that time, they were very close, and Yin Chengyu was imprisoned in his arms, unable to move, like a porcelain doll that he allowed to play with.

That short-term sense of control made him emotionally moved, as if Yin Chengyu's whole body belonged to him, and could be possessed and played with by him to his heart's content.

His breathing gradually became heavy, thinking about what would have happened if he hadn't let go.

At this moment, there seemed to be two people pulling in his body.

Reason told him that if he didn't let go, His Highness would be angry and would never get close to him again.He has to carefully hide his minions and draw them slowly.

Your Highness is the cold moon in the sky, it is lucky for him to be favored for a moment.

But the violence in his bones reminded him all the time that what he wanted, he had to grab it by himself.

Even His Highness is no exception.

As long as he is more daring, he can hold the cold moon of nine days into his arms, and let the cold moonlight be dyed his own color.

It was just a possibility, which made Xue Shu excited.

The corners of his eyes were slightly red, he stuffed the snow-white coat into his mouth, and bit hard.

The material of the middle clothes was delicate and thin, and it was torn quickly. The sound of tearing silk did not stop Xue Shu, but made his biting movements even more rude.

It seemed that he wanted to vent all the evil thoughts that could not be vented towards Yin Chengyu on this shirt.

But after a while, the middle clothes were bitten like rags, and the torn cloth was hanging in the tub, soaked with water, making it look even more messy.

Xue Shu's breathing became heavier, and he clenched his palms tightly until he crumpled the broken jacket before sinking into the water...

Early the next morning, Yin Chengyu took the list and went to the government office to retrieve the disaster relief list and check it.

When the prefect Ding Changshun heard the news, his heart skipped a beat.He suppressed his panic, and said with a smile: "The disaster relief register is messy. Your Highness might as well sit outside. If you want to see the state or county, I will order someone to find it."

Yin Chengyu gave him a cold look, and said, "Don't bother, just take a look."

He spoke casually, but his actions were extremely purposeful.Search according to the year, state and county, and quickly found the list of disaster relief in Changle, Shouguang, Linqu and other places.

After that, according to the village and town index, you can find what you want smoothly.

Looking at the record "On the fifth day of August, Li Jiadun and Li Wang received a bucket of rice" recorded in the directory, Yin Chengyu's face turned cold.

——He has been to Lijiadun, and he happened to inquire about this Li Wang's house.

Yin Chengyu continued to search down with a sullen face, and found that the farmers he and Xue Shu visited secretly were all in the disaster relief list.

One dou of rice for the big mouth and three buckets of rice for the small mouth, not for five-year-old children.

The records are clear and there are no mistakes or omissions. If Yin Chengyu hadn't visited in person and only read this clear disaster relief list, I'm afraid I would have believed the nonsense of these people.

He closed the list again and again, and turned his gaze to Ding Changshun: "Are there any mistakes or omissions in these lists?"

Ding Changshun looked at his complexion like a mountain rain, and his heart was already beating.But there will never be any problems with this list. He couldn't figure out where Yin Chengyu's anger came from, so he could only bite the bullet and reply: "All disaster relief lists are recorded truthfully. There may be one or two mistakes, but there will not be too many. Big in and out."

Yin Chengyu nodded, pulled out the self-recorded list from his sleeve, and pushed it in front of Ding Changshun: "Then what about the people on this list?"

"Gu went to Linqu, Changle, and Shouguang prefectures and counties yesterday, and visited hundreds of households in total. All the farmers I asked said they had never received relief food." The smile on his face gradually faded, and his eyes were full Coercion: "As the magistrate of Qingzhou Prefecture, do you know why?"

When Ding Changshun heard that he had visited hundreds of farmhouses, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He took the list with shaking hands.But he couldn't see anything, the name made him panic, he could only stammer and find a reason: "Maybe, maybe I didn't inform you..."

Having said that, his hands trembled uncontrollably.

"Really?" Yin Chengyu looked down at him: "These three counties, dozens of villages and towns, and hundreds of households are all coincidences?"

His tone became more and more serious, and in the end he was tinged with anger: "Is it a coincidence, or are you corrupt and corrupt, filling your own pockets?!"

Under the heavy pressure step by step, Ding Changshun finally couldn't bear it, he knelt down abruptly, and hit his head heavily on the ground: "Your Highness, please forgive me."

Yin Chengyu stood up, ignored his begging for mercy, and said to the accompanying guards: "Take him down and call Pang Yi."

He is greedy even for disaster preparations, and he will never spare these moths lightly.

After Yin Chengyu separated Ding Changshun and Pang Yi, interrogated them several times separately, and sorted out the relationship network, he sent Xue Shu to go and pick up people one by one according to the list given by Pang Yi and Ding Changshun.

"I still have something to report." Xue Shu put away the list before talking about the interrogation last night.

"Say." Yin Chengyu took two sips of herbal tea.

Xue Shu then told him about the internal strife in the Red Lotus Sect.

"Ying Hongxue?" Yin Chengyu frowned at the name, as if he had heard it somewhere before.Just thinking about it for a while, I can only press it down temporarily, saying: "The civil strife among the rebels is a good thing for us."

He tapped on the table with his fingers, and pondered for a while: "The previous strategy of recruiting security has been rejected. If Yin Chengzhang wants to make great achievements, it is absolutely impossible to recruit the Red British Army. Now it is said that Gao Youwen has contacts with people in the court, and even made a deal... ...There must be tricks in it, and you send someone to keep an eye on Xu Hui."

Xue Shu nodded: "I have already summoned the spies outside, and I will report as soon as there is any movement."

Yin Chengyu nodded in satisfaction, then got up to deal with other matters.

When passing by his side, he suddenly noticed that he had changed his clothes, glanced at him, and said with a half-smile: "Gu's middle clothes, remember to wash them and return them back."
