Chapter 151 Patrol
Song Yucheng handled things neatly, without procrastinating, and didn't bother to greet these people, so he directly rejected the banquet from the local officials of Chuzhou, and then proposed to inspect the defense.

"Chuzhou is on the border of Dazhao. It is an important road by water and land. Military defense is very important. This time, a certain official came here to inspect the border defense, and dare not be negligent in the slightest.

It just so happens that all the adults are here, why don't you accompany a certain person to check the defense of Chuzhou. "

Song Yucheng didn't follow the routine, and directly stated that he would go on inspections, which really surprised everyone.

Chen Zhizhou was better. Lin Fangshi's guilty expression, which was visible to the naked eye, caused Bai Mengjin, who had been observing carefully, to put a question mark in his heart.

There is probably something wrong with this Lin defense envoy.

"The Duke is dedicated to the country. I admire him. Since the Duke is going to inspect, I will make arrangements for it." Chen Zhizhou replied with a smile.

"There's no need to arrange anything. This is Chuzhou native. I'm afraid he's more familiar with this place than your lords. Your lords just come along with me. Let's just walk around."

Song Yucheng shook his head, got up and walked out.Let them arrange?When they make arrangements, then there will be nothing he wants to see.

Song Yucheng walked out without saying a word, and the officials in Chuzhou quickly followed, and they just left the station.

Bai Mengjin didn't follow, she came to Chuzhou mainly to teach medical skills, and the inspection was out of her hands.

Of course, this is an obvious reason to fool outsiders.

Song Yucheng and Bai Mengjin discussed it last night. The two cooperated with each other to collect evidence and cut off Shi Mingyuan's minions.

Both of these two have the personality of revenge. Shi Mingyuan sent people to plot against him again and again. If the two didn't fight back, wouldn't they be too useless?

Bai Mengjin has lived in Baoying for more than ten years. This is her sphere of influence, and her subordinates are spread all over the place. Isn't it easy to collect information about these officials?
Not to mention, that Chen Zhizhou was secretly one of them, so what else in Chuzhou could hide from Bai Mengjin?

In the evening, a stack of materials had already been delivered to Bai Mengjin, "You guessed it right, there is indeed a problem with the forestry results of the defense."

Bai Mengjin looked at the things in her hand and said to Song Yucheng.

"This forestry company deducts military pay, treats the sergeants harshly, forces the sergeants to farm and build for wealthy households, and takes the lead in trading with Jurchen and participating in smuggling." As he said, he handed the information in his hand to Song Yucheng.

"As expected, he has a close relationship with Shi Mingyuan. It is estimated that half of the military pay he withheld has gone into the pocket of Prime Minister Shi."

"Well, I found out during my daytime patrol that the soldiers in the Chuzhou camp were listless, and the on-site drills were more fun than children playing house.

There was no garrison at all on the river. Once the Jurchens launched an attack, they might not be able to find out when others attacked. "

When Song Yucheng thought of the scenes he saw during the day, he was filled with anger. How could this be a border fortress?

If there is a war, I'm afraid they don't need to be called here, so I will run for my life first, how can this be done?
"Longxing negotiated a peace, Da Zhao did not hesitate to kill Prince Yue for the sake of the peace of the court.

Nuyan and coquettishness just begged for peace, what did they get in exchange?It is Wen Tian and Wu Xi, and it is prosperity on the surface.

Everyone thinks that Da Zhao is rich, and a few 10 two-year-old coins are nothing, but it can be exchanged for border peace, which is very cost-effective.

After so many years, who still has the heart to stand ready?
Da Zhao's army has become a place for the elderly to settle down. The army is engaged in business and involved in smuggling, which can be found everywhere. "Bai Mengjin snorted coldly.

"Not all of them are like this. At least the loyal army of your Bai family still has a very good reputation."

Seeing Bai Mengjin's angry look, Song Yucheng couldn't help laughing, and offered words of comfort.

"Grandfather and great-grandfather were both under Lord Yue's command back then, and they all inherited the method of Lord Yue in governing the army. The military law is strict and they don't disturb the people.

Of course, this is all what I have heard, and I have never seen it with my own eyes. We will know the truth when we see it with our own eyes in Xiangyang. "

Bai Mengjin's standpoint was very objective, and she didn't praise her father and brother unreservedly just because he was her father and brother.

After all, the national conditions are here, if the Bai family and the Zhongshun Army are too independent, they will be excluded, or they will follow in the footsteps of Prince Yue.

Therefore, in life, it is really not possible to do whatever you want everywhere. Many times, people who are forced by the environment have to be with the light, otherwise they will not be able to integrate into this society.

"This Lin Yecheng, I guess he has other things, and he has to dig deeper. We must find a lot of real evidence, and we must kill him with one blow, so that he cannot have a chance to recover."

Bai Mengjin recalled the materials just now, and shook her head. They didn't have much evidence to beat Lin Yecheng to death. The current ones alone would at best demote him.

As far as Da Zhao Chao is concerned, demoting an official is a common practice. Officials are never afraid of being demoted, because they may be called back to continue serving as officials one day.

Many officials came back after a while, and their official positions were higher than before, which is really weird.

"I think you might as well make a fuss and startle the snake. Tomorrow you will say that you want to check the accounts, not only the garrison, but also the market.

Lin Yecheng's group has ghosts in their hearts, and they will definitely find a way to deal with it. If they make mistakes in their busy schedule, they may show their flaws.

At that time, follow the vine to find more clues, try to press him to death at once, and never let him have a chance to stand up.

Otherwise, with Shi Mingyuan's status and energy in the court, it wouldn't be long before Lin Yecheng returned to his post. "Bai Mengjin gave Song Yucheng an idea.

"Well, it's a way, then do as you say.

By the way, do you want to go back to Baoying in a few days?It's rare to come back, so I should pay homage to your adoptive parents. "Song Yucheng looked at Bai Mengjin with gentle eyes full of affection.

"Why don't I go with you the day after tomorrow?" Bai Mengjin came to the border to teach surgical skills, and he had to gather all the military doctors and doctors from all over Huainan East Road to give a formal lecture.

Chen Zhizhou only spread the news to other places today, and it would take a few days for military doctors and doctors from other counties to rush over, so Bai Mengjin could have a few days free.

Of course, Bai Mengjin wanted to go back to pay homage to her master and mother, but she just didn't have the nerve to speak up before. She came here for business, so it's not good to use it for personal reasons.

"Well, let's go the day after tomorrow. I'll ride away early in the morning, and I'll probably arrive in the afternoon. By the way, didn't you go back to the old house to take a look when you came back this time?"

Song Yucheng's father was a county lieutenant in Huai'an, and the Huai'an county seat was located in Chuzhou City, which is also known as Fukuo, so the old house of Song Yucheng's family was located in Chuzhou City.

Back then, Song Yucheng's father died early, and his mother took him to join his uncle. Later, the imperial court selected the son of the clan, and Song Yucheng was brought to the capital to be selected, and only then did he settle down in the capital.

Song Yucheng sighed, "Things are different and people are different. It's not the Song family for a long time. It's useless to go back and see it. It will only add to the sadness. Why bother?"

Song Yucheng's mother passed away before he came to Beijing, and both his parents died and he was alone. It's useless to see the old house, but sad.
