Before leaving Luoyang, Lin Han felt that he was following Bao Hong's path, so he specifically asked Cao Zhengchun to pay attention to the movements in the court, especially He Jin and the Ten Attendants.

I didn't expect the warning to come true.

He replaced Bao Hong as the military captain and came to Runan to suppress the Yellow Turbans.

Historically, Bao Hong died because he embezzled tens of millions of military funds. He was exposed by Huang Wan, the governor of Yuzhou, and eventually imprisoned and died.

Now this matter has fallen on him.

If Lin Han were to fall, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the lower army would be controlled by He Jin's direct subordinates, and half of the soldiers and horses of the eight captains of Xiyuan would fall into He Jin's hands.

Good calculation.

"I'm aware of this. Go back and inform the commander. Send someone to keep an eye on the military pay being sent to Runan. Keep track of everything they do along the way. Report anything to me immediately. Don't act rashly or make any moves."

"Understood." The Jinyiwei took his leave.

A few days later, the Embroidered Uniform Guards sent another message.

The escort team was arranged by He Jin, including Bao Hong, who had a grudge against Lin Han.

While escorting military pay, Bao Hong sank tens of millions of dollars worth of military pay into a lake in Yingchuan area and replaced it with gold and silver filled with lead.

The Embroidered Uniform Guard recorded the location of the sunken money and some evidence of Bao Hong's crimes and handed them over to Lin Han.

After reading the relevant news and evidence, Lin Han summoned Tian Feng, Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, Dian Wei, Xu Chu and others.

All the leadership teams in the army gathered here.

The issue of military pay is of no trivial importance.

If He Jin succeeds in his plan to replace Bao Hong in historical position, the crime of embezzling tens of millions of military funds will fall on him, and he may be the unlucky person.

There were only two months left before Emperor Ling of Han's death, and he didn't want any problems to arise at this critical juncture.

"I notified you to come here late at night because I have something important to discuss." Lin Han said.

Everyone looked solemn.

Lin Han rarely saw them late at night. Even Dian Wei and Tian Feng, who had followed Lin Han the longest, had rarely experienced such a thing.

"My lord, is there any news about the memorial sent to Luoyang?" Xun Yu asked.

"No." Lin Han shook his head. "According to the information sent back by my spies in Luoyang, the report on the battle situation in Runan fell into Yuan Shao's hands and was sent to He Jin, who suppressed it without publishing it."

"this……"

Everyone was shocked.

"I'm not here to discuss the memorial, but something else. According to what I've learned, He Jin has suppressed the memorial and is trying to frame me. He's trying to tamper with the incoming military pay and supplies, and then accuse me of embezzling military pay and bringing me down."

"this……"

Everyone's expression changed drastically.

If the frame-up succeeds, their lord will be imprisoned, his future will be bleak, and he may even be killed.

"I've summoned you here late at night to discuss countermeasures."

Dian Wei and Xu Chu looked at the three counselors. They were not good at strategy, but only at leading troops in battle.

"My lord, is the news true?" Tian Feng asked.

"real!"

Lin Han presented the evidence collected by the Jinyiwei to everyone.

After checking, everyone in the field was furious.

"How dare this villain He Jin resort to such despicable tactics." Tian Feng was indignant. "A lowly maidservant and a relative of the emperor."

"What does Zhicai think?"

Xun Yu was much calmer and looked at Xi Zhicai who was silent.

They had joined the army but had not achieved any merit, so this was the opportunity for them to show their talents to the lord. Xun Yu knew that the lord was using this incident to give them the opportunity to make merit and accumulate experience.

"A plan." Xi Zhicai asked.

"Tell me."

"We know their actions, so we can plan ahead and give them a taste of their own medicine."

"Yes, report him. He Jin relied on his status as the emperor's uncle to do evil things. If this matter is exposed, the emperor will be able to strip him of his title as general, which is justified." Tian Feng interrupted.

"Not appropriate." Xun Yu shook his head and said, "Although He Jin's actions are mean, he is still the emperor's uncle. If we report him directly, we are not sure whether he will succeed or not, and it will not be good for our lord's career."

"What should we do then?" Lin Han asked Xun Yu.

"Borrow a knife."

"who?"

"The governor of Yuzhou is Huang Wan. If they can use Huang Wan, we can naturally use Huang Wan. As far as I know, Huang Wan is an upright and intelligent person. If he knows about this matter, he will definitely report it to the emperor, letting Huang Wan fight with He Jin, and we will stay out of it." Xun Yu said.

"Tell me in detail." Lin Han asked again.

Everyone put forward their strategies and discussed their plans until the early hours of the morning, when Lin Han let them go back and rest.

Naturally, we cannot sit idly by and wait for this matter to end.

Lin Han asked the Jinyiwei to keep a close eye on the escort team in secret.

He was not idle. He took Xu Chu and Xun Yu with him and led a thousand soldiers to Qiao County, the provincial capital.

Because someone was sent to inform early, when Lin Han led his troops to Qiao County, the city gate was open. Huang Wan, the governor of Yuzhou, was waiting at the city gate. When he saw Lin Han coming, he smiled.

"General Xiao, I have long heard of your great name. Thanks to you, the people of Runan no longer have to worry about the Yellow Turban bandits."

"As the Governor of Huangzhou, I am just a polite person. I eat the emperor's salary and worry about his worries. The emperor ordered me to eliminate the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, so I will naturally do my best to share the emperor's worries." Lin Han said politely.

The two met for the first time and had a very pleasant conversation.

"General Xiao, please come in."

"Thank you, Huangzhou Mu."

The two of them went into the provincial capital together.

"General Xiao, what brings you here this time?" Huang Wan asked after having someone pour tea.

"Sir Huang, I'm sorry to bother you, but I do have something to trouble you with."

"General Xiao, please tell me. If you can help me solve the Yellow Turban crisis in Runan, I will do my best to help you."

"I would like to ask Mr. Huang to accompany me to the camp to receive the salary."

Huang Wan was puzzled when he heard this.
