After rebirth, the daughter of the marquisate went crazy

Zhu Chengyi nodded nonchalantly, "Yes, he even took his cousin, a lady from a wealthy family, directly to the military camp to see Gu Changyun." He sneered, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"No!" Zheng Honglin's expression suddenly turned ugly.

Zhu Chengyi drank a little and was already a little drunk. "What's wrong?"

The panic in Zheng Honglin's eyes grew. "You said Gu Yuanchen arrived yesterday. He brought a woman with him, so even if he was quick, it would take him six or seven days. How did he know about the battle in Pingliang City? When he left Kyoto, the battle report had just been sent out!"

Zhu Chengyi was sobered instantly by Zheng Honglin's words.

"Maybe he heard about the snowstorm in the north and came back to check on it?"

Zheng Honglin looked at him intently. "Is it such a coincidence?"

"Yes, what a coincidence."

A faint sneer came from outside the private room door.

At this moment, the two of them realized that the surroundings were too quiet, so quiet as if there were only the two of them, and as if there were countless people breathing.

"who!"

A chill ran down the backs of the two men, and their eyes were filled with fear and panic.

With a "creak," the door was pushed open.

Zhu Chengyi saw that outside the door was gradually opening, and Gu Changyun's resolute face was terribly dark.

"General, general!"

Zhu Chengyi's face instantly lost all color. "Changyun, why are you here?"

Gu Tingyuan stood behind Gu Changyun, his handsome and elegant face full of sarcasm, "If father hadn't come, how would he have known that Deputy General Zhu was so dissatisfied with him."

Zhu Chengyi looked at the soldiers standing outside the door, their faces filled with murderous intent, and his heart sank. "You heard everything."

Gu Changyun's voice was cold, "Yes, do you have anything to say?"

At this point, even if he tried to argue, he would be speechless. "I have nothing to say."

"But I have something to say!"

Gu Changyun's eyes were filled with disappointment, and his voice was heavy with sorrow. "I never knew you were so dissatisfied with me. Why didn't you say it? Even when my father reminded me to be careful about the people around me, I doubted everyone but you. We are brothers who have experienced countless life and death. Even if you are not doing this for our friendship, don't you think about it? Those are 100,000 lives. You are going to sacrifice so many lives for such a position! Just for such a little power! If you tell me the truth, I will give it to you directly!"

Zhu Chengyi laughed miserably, "Yes, you are the only one who doesn't care about power, you are indifferent to fame and fortune, and you are the only one who is wholeheartedly devoted to the people and the Daqing Dynasty!"

"Do you know that I hate your condescending attitude the most? I've tried every possible means to get what you disdain. You treat me as your brother? I don't want to be your brother."

Gu Changyun's expression was filled with sorrow. "You should never, ever use the entire population of Pingliang City as a raft, and you should never disregard the lives of 100,000 officers and soldiers!"

Zhu Chengyi knew that the matter was exposed and there was no chance of his survival, so he was too lazy to say anything. He picked up the wine jug, poured himself the last glass of wine with trembling hands, and drank it all in one gulp.

Gu Changyun closed his eyes and said, "Tie him up."

Zheng Honglin's face turned pale. "Gu Changyun, I am the prefect of Yanzhou. I am a second-rank official, and you are also a second-rank official. You have no right to touch me!"

Ye Qingyu suddenly asked, "Uncle, before my fourth cousin and I came to Pingliang, my grandfather told me that the northern border had suffered a snowstorm and Yanzhou Prefecture had no food for disaster relief. They had to urgently report to the capital over 800 miles for relief grain. I just heard that the grain in Yanzhou Prefecture's granary is more than enough to supply 100,000 soldiers for a month. Could this grain have appeared out of thin air?"

Ye Qingyu looked at Zheng Honglin's changed expression and continued, "The floods in the south are severe, and all the grain in Kyoto has been mobilized to the south for disaster relief. The emperor still has no idea how much grain is needed for disaster relief in the north. Now, Yanzhou Prefecture still has so much grain. The people affected by the disaster can be saved, and the emperor doesn't have to worry about the relief grain anymore."

Ye Qingyu spoke lightly, appearing to be very happy, but everyone could hear the meaning behind her words.

Zheng Honglin not only committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, but also brought disaster to the people. The execution of his entire family was the least he could do.

Gu Changyun's face was gloomy and he said in a cold voice: "Come here, capture him!"

"Gu Changyun, you have no right to tie me up! How can a military commander like you touch me? Even if I am guilty, the investigation will be handed over to the Censorate. Who the hell do you think you are?"

Gu Changyun: "You don't have to worry about that. This general will personally go before His Majesty and confess his guilt!"

"Shut up! Take him away!"

"Someone, go take care of Zhu Chengyi and Zheng Honglin's family members. Go to the granary in Yanzhou Prefecture!"

A crowd of people left Yuyinfang.

Ye Qingyu smiled sweetly and said softly, "Uncle, I told you that if you watched the show with me, you would have food. Do you believe me now?"

Gu Changyun originally had a cold face, but when he saw Ye Qingyu's gentle smile, he couldn't help but put away his fierce aura.

Gu Changyun thought about his niece suddenly coming to the military camp today and wanting to drag him to Yanzhou City to watch a play. He disagreed and looked like he was about to cry. He had no choice but to agree to her. Unexpectedly, the play almost scared him to death!

He sighed helplessly, "You kid, can't you tell the truth to your uncle? You scared me, and you two too!" He turned to look at his two sons, his expression no longer as gentle as it was with Ye Qingyu, "What are you doing bringing so many soldiers out here without permission? Are you rebelling?"

Gu Yuanchen muttered, "Father, aren't you asking this even though you already know the answer?"

Gu Changyun kicked him angrily. Gu Yuanchen yelled, touched his butt and ran away, looking at his father with resentment.

He was just telling the truth. He brought people here to arrest people. His father had already used the people they brought, but he still kicked him. It was really unreasonable!

Gu Tingyuan bowed and said, "Father, it was my fault for leading the troops out of the camp without permission."

When Gu Changyun saw his eldest son lower his head in understanding the situation, his anger subsided a little.

"It's okay to know you were wrong."

Gu Tingyuan looked at his stupid brother with a resentful look on his face, and couldn't help but curl his lips.

The father was looking for a place to vent his anger, but the child actually took advantage of his father's anger. Who else could he beat if not him?

Ye Qingyu tugged at Gu Changyun's sleeve and said delicately, "Uncle, please don't be angry with my cousins. I was the one who asked them for help."

Gu Changyun sighed helplessly, "You, you are so smart."

Ye Qingyu smiled cheekily and said, "Thank you for the compliment, uncle."

The granary of Yanzhou Prefecture was twenty miles away from Yanzhou City. The group arrived on horseback in less than half an hour.

The soldiers of Pingliang City quickly surrounded the three granaries and captured all the people guarding them.
