Lu Wenqin struggled to identify the words on the document. Shen Wan looked at the man and asked, "What's your name? How old are you this year?"
The man raised his chin and said, "My name is Zheng Chuang. I am thirty-five years old this year."
"Are you getting married?" Shen Wan asked again.
Zheng Chuang heard her question and said with a smile: "What, if we don't get married, Mrs. Song, can you assign me a daughter-in-law?"
Shen Wan's expression suddenly changed and she glanced at Zheng Chuang coldly.
This girl's eyes were so cold, Zheng Chuang put away his unseemly manner.
"What are you thinking about?" Huier said with a straight face.
Zheng Chuang said with an apologetic smile: "Just kidding, just kidding, I'm not married yet."
Shen Wan was not looking at him, but asked Lu Wenqin in a low voice: "Have you read the document? Are there any questions?"
Lu Wenqin put down the paperwork in his hand and nodded, "After reading it, he does not meet our recruitment standards."
When Hui'er heard that he didn't meet the standards, he thought to himself: It's okay if he doesn't meet the standards. This person is so sloppy and sleazy. If he really meets the standards and recruits him, he will only discredit his wife.
"Why am I not qualified?" Zheng Chuang patted his right leg, "My leg is indeed lame, and I am also a retired soldier."
Lu Wenqin looked at him and said very patiently: "It is written in the document that you retired normally and did not receive any pension. Our recruitment requirements are for soldiers who retired due to injuries, and your legs should be lame after retirement. , so it does not meet our recruitment standards.”
Zheng Chuang blinked and said, "I can't read. I don't know what's written on the document. My leg was lame during the war."
Shen Wan tilted her head and looked at him and said, "If you retired due to injury, why is it not written in this document?"
"Who knows! Maybe the people above are greedy for my pension, so they didn't write it in the paperwork."
"Really?" Shen Wan narrowed her eyes.
"But, it's possible!" Zheng Chuang swallowed.
Shen Wan said sternly: "The embezzlement of veterans' pensions is not a trivial matter. I will find someone to accompany you to report to the government, so that the officials can find out who embezzled your pensions and give you justice."
"Here, there's no need for that!" Zheng Chuang shrank his neck. If he reported it to the police, wouldn't it be possible to find out that he was lying?
"It must be used," Shen Wan said: "In order to defend the country, your legs were lame, but someone stole your pension. If it were spread, wouldn't it chill the hearts of thousands of Dongchen soldiers, so , we must report it to the officials so that they can conduct a thorough investigation and find out the corrupt person."
People outside the hall heard Zheng Chuang say that someone had embezzled his pension, and they started asking each other.
"Is your pension paid on time every year?"
"Yes! Every year when the time comes, I take the paperwork and go directly to the Yamen to get it. I even signed it when I didn't get it back."
"I also receive it every year, not a penny less,"
"I have received it too." Everyone said that they have always received the pension, and not a penny is missing.
"That's weird, none of ours have been corrupted, so how come others have been corrupted?"
"Who knows whether what he said is true or false!"
"What are the names of the people inside?"
"It seems to be called Zheng Chuang."
"The name Zheng Chuang sounds familiar, I remembered it." The one-eyed man who spoke hurriedly walked into the main hall and walked around to Zheng Chuang.
"Zheng Chuang? It's really you!"
"Who are you?" Zheng Chuang looked a little panicked at the one-eyed man who suddenly walked in, but he didn't recognize the one-eyed man.
The one-eyed man said, "I'm Bai Lin. Ten years ago, we were both soldiers in General Wang's camp. I was from the marksman camp and you were from the infantry camp. But you probably don't know me." Bai Lin finished speaking and smiled.
laugh.
"Then why do you know him?" Huier asked.
Bai Lin smiled and said: "Because he once violated military discipline very seriously and was tied to a pillar by the general and whipped, so that the whole army could watch and learn from him. That's why I got to know him, and I was very impressed."
He is from the Marksman Battalion. If he had not injured his eye, he would not have retired so quickly. Maybe he is still in the army now!
Zheng Chuang lowered his head. This man used to be in the same camp with him and knew about his affairs. It was over, and he was about to be exposed.
"What military discipline did he violate?" Huier asked curiously.
Bai Lin said sternly: "On a day out, I tease women from good families."
Hui'er said "tsk" and looked at Zheng Chuang with disdain. This man was indeed not a good person.
"You fart." Zheng Chuang stood up and yelled at Bai Lin.
