"It is Wang De. He has been secretly selling off the military grain for profit.
Whenever the Crown Prince collects grain along the journey, he always holds back a portion to line his own pockets. After embezzling the rations, he fills the sacks intended for us common soldiers with sand. Only those at the rank of battalion commander or higher get to eat pure white rice. As for those of us who have offended him, how could we possibly expect a proper meal? He hoards the grain, planning to wait until we reach the Northern Frontier and supplies run low, only to resell it back to the army at an exorbitant price!"
Murong Ke cast a cold glance at Wang De, who dropped to his knees with a loud thud.
