The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 338 The Black Sheep
Xie Shen already guessed seven or eight points in his heart.

Previously, Wang Yu, the avant-garde commander of Datong, failed miserably. Xie Shen once went to the prison in Taiyuan Mansion, hoping to get some useful information from Wang Yu.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yu would not speak.

In desperation, Xie Shen had no choice but to inquire about Wang Yu's enemies and got a list.

The list is not long, there are only three or four people in total, among them is Chen Chuan.

Chen Chuan is the commander of Datong's avant-garde commander and Wang Yu's deputy.Wang Yu stumbled, and it was naturally Chen Chuan who benefited the most.It seems to be true now.

This time, the rice grain harvested by Lu'an was evenly distributed among the various guards. Why did only the soldiers of the Datong Vanguard vomit and vomit?
Put it all together and the truth emerges.

It is very likely that Chen Chuan, Commander Tongzhi and Taiyuan eunuch Hu Zan conspired to kill Wang Yu.

And the one who should have responded to Wang Yu but changed his mind temporarily should be Chen Chuan.

No wonder when he was investigating the truth about Wang Yu being framed, Xun hinted several times that Xu had something to do with Eunuch Hu, and it turned out that it was not groundless.

It's a pity that Wang Yu has committed suicide now. If the normal process is followed, no one will be able to discover the activities of Chen Chuan and Eunuch Hu.

It's a pity that Chen Chuan and Hu Zan couldn't swallow this breath, and wanted to rectify Xie Shen, which made a fuss about the grain they bought.

All the soldiers of the avant-garde in Datong were vomiting and diarrhea in one day. At first glance, it must be the problem of corn.

Of course, not all the corn consumed by Datong Avant-Garde was purchased by Lu'an.But the person who decides which rice to use is Chen Chuan.

He must have instructed the cook to use the corn bought by Lu'an first, and then tampered with the porridge.

Of course, the actions and feet were done very covertly, and all the kitchen soldiers were deceived.

"Boss, it seems that this matter has come to light."

Xie Shen said confidently.

"Oh, why do you say that?"

Liu Daxia asked with interest.

"My lord, if the subordinate's guess is correct, only the soldiers of the Datong Vanguard are vomiting and diarrhea."

Liu Daxia nodded and said, "Indeed."

Xie Shen continued: "The rice grain distributed by each guard comes from various prefectures in Shanxi. That is to say, apart from the Datong Qianwei, the other guards also distributed the corn purchased by Lu'an. Then why only the soldiers of the Datong Qianwei vomited What about diarrhea, could it be that their bodies are more valuable than other people’s gold?"

Liu Daxia is not stupid, he immediately recognized the meaning behind Xie Shen's words.

"I mean, is there something wrong with this porridge?"

Seeing that Liu Daxia's attitude had changed, Ma An raised his voice and said, "That's not necessarily true, maybe only Datong Qianwei used this batch of corn from Lu'an."

Xie Shen sneered and said, "This is even more problematic. Why is Datong Avant-Garde the only one special? Or is it someone doing it on purpose?"

"you!"

Ma An was so angry that he couldn't speak, and turned his head angrily.

After all, Liu Daxia had seen big scenes before, so he immediately said: "There are many doubts about this matter, we must investigate it strictly!"

Xie Shen also said: "You might as well call the fellow commander Chen Chuan to ask."

"My surname is Xie, don't try to bully me too much!"

At any rate, Ma An is also the Commander of the Shanxi Capital of the third rank.Facing Shanxi Governor Hou Xun, Hebu Zuo Shilang and Qiandu Yushi Liu Daxia may not have the confidence, but facing the prefect of Lu'an who is two levels lower than himself, he can still stand upright.

Seeing Xie Shen insinuating, implying that his subordinates framed him, Ma An was immediately furious.

"Since Commander Chen is in good standing, why didn't he dare to confront him?"

When it comes to verbal skills, Xie Shen is far superior to these warriors.

Ma An was so choked that he couldn't speak, he could only stare blankly.

Liu Daxia waved his hand and said, "Go and invite General Chen."

Liu Daxia's words are the golden rule in Datong, who told him that he came to supervise the military pay according to the order.

Ma An winked at the people around him, and immediately someone went to invite Chen Chuan.

Not long after, Chen Chuan came to the kitchen with square steps.

After paying respects to each big boss one by one, Chen Chuan suddenly said: "I don't know what advice you adults have."

It can be seen that Chen Chuan is very confident.

Luckily, Xie Shen had already prepared the draft, so he asked, "May I ask General Chen, where did the corn your soldiers eat today come from?"

Chen Chuan replied almost without thinking, "It's from Lu'an."

Xie Shen was overjoyed, and quickly said: "As far as I know, Datong Qianwei has enough food for three months, why not eat the stored food first and eat new food instead."

"This"

Chen Chuan came prepared, but he was stopped shortly after he expected it.

There is indeed food in the Datong Vanguard Barracks, and the food purchased from various places is at most just a spare.

He really has no reason to let the kitchen use new grain instead of stored grain.

This will only make the stored food taste worse.

"Could it be that General He thinks that the corn tastes better after being boiled for a long time?"

"This"

Seeing that Chen Chuan was speechless, even Ma An, who had been contradicting Xie Shen, frowned and scolded: "What is this, why haven't you explained it clearly to Mr. Xie?"

Although Ma An protects his shortcomings, he is also very clear.No matter how you look at it now, Chen Chuan can't explain it clearly. If he helps Chen Chuan again, he really can't justify it.

"It's because the kitchen soldiers are ignorant, and the adults laughed at them."

Chen Chuan really couldn't think of a reason, so he could only reluctantly cope with it.

"The kitchen soldiers are not sensible?"

Ma An almost lost his breath with a smile.

"Don't they understand the principle of using old rice first and then new rice?"

Chen Chuan was sweating coldly from behind.

This loophole is not obvious, so he didn't realize it at all.But when Xie Shen pointed it out, he realized that this was a deep pit.

"Your subordinates are lax in running the army, please ask General Ma to punish him."

However, Chen Chuan killed him no matter what. This matter has nothing to do with him.

Only in this way can he be minimally affected.

"You are not strict with the army." Ma An paused and said: "As for whether there are other culpable crimes, this general will order someone to investigate. Come here, take all the soldiers in the kitchen away, and this general will personally Interrogation."

"General Ma, this is absolutely unacceptable. You have taken all the kitchen soldiers away, brothers, what are you going to eat?"

Ma An snorted coldly: "What to eat? Now you think of this question?"

But he didn't say much, and left directly.

Xie Shen glanced at Chen Chuan very proudly, and left with Ma An and Liu Daxia.

He thought that following Wang Yu's suicide, that matter would become an unsolved case.Unexpectedly, the other party jumped out of his own stupidity and showed his flaws.

This is really a village with nowhere to go, where the willows are dark and the flowers are bright.

Xie Shen will never let this matter go easily, he must investigate to the end and give an explanation to the dead Ming soldiers.

He has already confirmed that Chen Chuan is the sinner who harmed Pao Ze. From the fact that he drugged the rice porridge this time, it can be seen that this person is ruthless and will do anything to achieve his goal.

If such a black sheep is not eliminated, it will be a trouble in the future.
