The door of the warehouse was wide open, and of course there was no incident at the door of Xu Zhimin's card.

He swaggered through the doorframe that was still an inch away from being close to him, snorting and watching his men busy.

The household department is in charge of the national finance, and it goes without saying that the silver treasury is huge, Wei Xian and Xu Zhimin brought hundreds of people to open the boxes and inspect the silver one by one.

There was nothing until the second batch of silver, which was supposed to be transported to the northwest for disaster relief in the spring of this year, and the actions of Xu Zhimin's men were obviously different from those of the Criminal Department.

Previously, it was checked by the left to open the silver box, but the soldiers of Dali Temple were divided into three batches and opened the box at the same time.

Wei Xian glanced at it, thinking that the people from Dali Temple were bored, thinking that this would save time, so he didn't ask much. Old lady Lin sat in the Taishi chair in the middle, watching Xu Zhimin make small movements with a smile.

The silver stored in the household is 50 taels of official silver, and a special standard sample is printed at the bottom to compile the order. First, it is an anti-counterfeiting method, and secondly, it is easy to distinguish which batch of silver is made, in case it is robbed, it is easy to track.

The second batch of silver for disaster relief in the northwest was allocated 300,000 taels of silver, one box was one hundred ingots, but only six boxes.

Xu Zhimin's men quickly opened the box, and everyone suddenly took a breath, and the six boxes were all empty.

Xu Zhimin stepped forward excitedly when he heard the movement, the play he had been acting for so long was finally high. It's tidal.

"Lin Fuguo! What's going on, can you explain it to the official?! The empty six boxes in front of him made Xu Zhimin also gasp, and then he was ecstatic, does this count as heaven to help him?!

Old lady Lin took another sip of tea unhurriedly, and called out two soldiers from the household: "Didn't you throw away this empty box after you changed it?" Why is it still in the library, the new box?! ”

One of the tall soldiers hunched his waist and said, "My lord, it was the end of noon when I found that there was a problem with the box, so I had to move the silver out and pack it in a hurry, and I haven't sent it back yet." ”

Not only did Xu Zhimin's eyebrows skip a beat when he heard this, but even Wei Xian hurriedly came to Old Lady Lin.

"Fuguo, the silver out of the warehouse is not in accordance with the regulations, you better hurry up and let them move the silver back to the warehouse." When Wei Xian said this. Doubts flashed through his mind, and he was surprised that Lin Hongzhi was really greedy for ink, and Mrs. Lin was just hiding people's eyes and ears in such a move!

Xu Zhimin stepped forward and smiled in a strange tone: "Maybe it is Fu Guogang who supervises the household department." I don't know about these rules. Lord Wei doesn't have to worry, there is a mark on the bottom of each ingot of silver in the household, and as long as the silver is still there, it can't be lost or faked. ”

Those marks were all branded when the silver was melted, and then after a batch of silver was made, the special branding vessel would be destroyed, and this Lin Fuguo wanted to replace it with other silver. It can't be replaced!

Xu Zhimin was very proud, but he also found out that something was wrong, and he was suspicious of Old Lady Lin's sudden removal of the silver out of the warehouse, not sure if he had already received any news, or if it was just a coincidence.

There are words in Xu Zhimin's words, and Mrs. Lin doesn't even bother to pay attention to it, and a third-grade official is only worthy of him to tease two sentences.

Wei Xian stood embarrassed, but he knew that Xu Zhimin had his back against King Rui, so he had to solve the siege: "Fuguo is an old man in the court, of course he knows the rules." Many of the reforms were also proposed by the Metropolitan Auxiliary State. The order at the bottom of this official silver was also implemented by the auxiliary state in the early years, plus the implementation of the control of ironware workshop utensils and practice qualification control, but it reduced the theft of official silver in this dynasty, because it is difficult to find tools to re-smelt the silver, so Lord Xu is more assured. ”

Listening to Wei Xian's long-term patting and disguised intention to tell him that he was not suspicious, Xu Zhimin squinted his eyes disdainfully, and his eyes, which were originally slits, were suddenly buried in the flesh and could not be found.

Old lady Lin still didn't pay attention, but just ordered the soldiers to pack up and carry them back.

Xu Zhimin decided that Mrs. Lin had a ghost, and she stuck to it like a dog skin plaster. "Since the lower officials have a holy order. Let's carry this batch of silver, and by the way, it won't take time to count it. Otherwise, when I go to the Ministry of Industry later, I'm afraid it will be dark. ”

"I'm not bothering you. Since it went out from the old man's hands, of course, it still has to be returned by the old man's hands. Xu Siqing has time to play tricks here, so it's better to continue counting the next batch, but Xu Siqing has to wait to send it back, and I don't matter, it can still be lit up after dark and continue to check. It's just that I have to get tired of the same thing as the criminal department. ”

I have to work hard for a longer time. Of course, the people in the Criminal Department were unhappy, and Old Lady Lin gave Xu Zhimin a lot of hatred with his words, which made a group of them glared at and glared at by the soldiers of the Criminal Department.

Wei Xian's palms were sweating again, Lin Fuguo, how about saving some face, he is still on the scene, is it okay to use them so clearly?!

Xu Zhimin was choked, and he didn't dare to be angry, so he had to endure his anger and command his people to continue to check the next batch of silver that had been allocated to him, but he was looking forward to King Rui coming over soon.

Another hour has passed since this investigation, and the point of the Criminal Department has been counted, and it is not bad at all.

Xu Zhimin moved his mind and lagged behind for half an hour.

He endured his anger and checked the things, and in the end, the batch of silver for disaster relief had not been sent back, so he would not give in anymore. "Lord Fuguo, you can't shirk it again this time, if you shirk it like this, the official will think that there is really a ghost in that batch of silver!"

"If you think there is a ghost, then report it to the emperor truthfully, just be careful that Ben Fuguo took real money and said that you made false accusations and let the emperor dismiss your official. Two years, there is still one year to go up when the term expires, tsk......" Old lady Lin skimmed Xu Zhimin, who didn't even shout honorifics, and his disdain was not concealed at all.

Xu Zhimin has never been angry since he became a temple qing, and he was immediately so angry that he was shaking his fat and fat, Wei Xian watched from the side and couldn't help but wonder if he would shake out the oil like this, which was really trembling and causing people to think.

"Hmph, Lin Fuguo repeatedly didn't hand over that batch of silver, and the official had to think like this. Since the auxiliary country doesn't let people carry it up, then the official himself will bring people there! ”

Xu Zhimin went to the door as he spoke, but when he stepped out of the door, a cold light flashed in front of him, which could be cut off from the end of his nose and stopped on his fat belly!

was so frightened, Xu Zhimin's huge figure really collapsed at the door, like a ball of meatballs blocking the door.

"Fukoku-sama!" Wei Xian was also scared enough, this knife really went down, Xu Zhimin had to cut a big hole in his stomach!

"The household department is my territory now, do I allow you to go out?" Old lady Lin didn't put Xu Zhimin in his eyes at all, and didn't care about Wei Xian's exclamation, and calmly threw out a sentence that made Xu Zhimin's fleshy body tremble more frequently.

"It's really not the right time for this king to come to see such a big official authority as Fuguo. The household department is an important institution of the imperial court, how did it become a private territory?! ”

It was at this time that Qingyue's male voice came. The voice was gentle, but there was a majesty in it.

As soon as everyone looked up, they saw the gentle and peaceful King Rui come to the treasury.

Xu Zhimin snorted and wanted to get up, but he couldn't stabilize his figure, and in the end, his subordinates took a handle to stand still.

Seeing that the person I want to see is finally here. Old lady Lin finally showed a smile on her face, but she didn't get up to greet her. "The prince is here, Ben Fuguo is unwell, and he can't get up to greet him, it's really a loss of honor."

King Rui was not annoyed when he listened. He smiled at his head: "The Auxiliary Lord is old, and it is normal for him to be uncomfortable, so he is just polite, so he doesn't have to be serious." However, official affairs still have to be done, this king heard a thing or two, if the auxiliary country wants to stop Xu Siqing from running an errand? Or the auxiliary state interprets what the king said below. ”

"It's nonsense to stop Xu Siqing from doing an errand, which of you saw that Ben Fuguo was stopped?! Well?! ”

Xu Zhimin saw that Old Lady Lin was shameless and wanted to confess in front of him, his eyes were about to glow, and Wei Xian secretly complained to himself, whether he did this testimony or not, he was offended. He didn't look at the yellow calendar when he went out today! He should take a leave of absence!!

"My lord, the silver coins have been packed in batches, and the subordinates have seen that the destroyed wood of the silver ingots has eroded, so they have cleaned them up one by one, and it is too late."

The two parties were at a stalemate, and King Rui was also angry with Old Lady Lin's shamelessness, but as soon as he heard that the money was sent, he was diverted to look at the six boxes and Xu Zhimin.

Xu Zhimin received a question, only shook his head, and secretly gestured again. King Rui smiled again: "This king heard that the household department opened the treasury and checked the silver today, and remembered that he had not handed over to the Lord of the Auxiliary Kingdom, so he came here to make this trip, so there is a beginning and an end." ”

"Ben Fuguo thought that King Rui had come to see me unlucky. It turned out to be for handover, then you can put the silver here, and open the box for Xu Siqing to inspect. Old lady Lin sneered and let people open the box.

This sentence made everyone look sideways, especially Xu Zhimin, whose heart was pounding. I don't understand why Old Lady Lin has been blocking it before, and now she is so happy. Could it really be that something is new to fill the vacancy, as he thought?!

The soldiers opened the boxes one by one, and King Rui became a little nervous with their movements, and his eyes did not leave the six boxes for a moment.

The boxes were opened one by one, and when the last two were opened, the soldiers hesitated, Xu Zhimin's heart beat faster, and he couldn't help shouting!

Old Lady Lin glanced at him, and the two soldiers did not move, and they were deadlocked for a while, but Old Lady Lin ordered to open it again, and the two continued to move.

The last two boxes were opened at the same time, but both were empty.

Ecstasy rose in Xu Zhimin's eyes, and he made an action that was incredible to him, and the whole person jumped. "What does Lin Fuguo have to say now, what about silver?! These two boxes of silver, this is no more and no less, a total of 100,000 taels!! ”

Wei Xian's mouth was also dry when he saw it, and he looked at Old Lady Lin with incomprehension and disbelief in his eyes.

Lin Hongzhi is really greedy for ink?! Therefore, Lin Fuguo's repeated shirks were really just to conceal it, and in the end, this was really too much, but it was a talent......

A group of people were shocked, and Old Lady Lin was still so calm and calm, and she didn't argue, as if she was acquiescing.

"Come on, go to the Lin Mansion and lock up Lin Hongzhi, the head of the household, take these two empty boxes, and give the Holy Gift back!!"

"Wait, wait, Lord Xu......" Wei Xian knew a lot about Old Lady Lin, and felt that it was wrong to think about this matter, so he hurriedly stopped it.

Even if Lin Hongzhi is greedy for ink, he shouldn't arrest people first, he should report to the emperor before acting, Xu Zhimin's approach is too eager.

However, Xu Zhimin would not let go of this opportunity at all, he finally endured it to the end, since Lin Hongzhi's son was angry with him, then he would make up for it on his son! Xu Zhimin was already full of thoughts at this time, Lin Hongzhi was tortured by Kuxing, and the old lady Lin finally had to beg him.

The soldiers of Dali Temple naturally listened to their own adults, and they also listed four henchmen, and went directly to carry the suitcase.

However, as soon as they grabbed and lifted them, they found that the two boxes were dead and useless, and the two boxes fell heavily on their sides on the ground.

With a bang, a wooden board fell out, and all the 100,000 taels of snowflake silver rolled out, white and dazzling.

Rui Wang's gaze, which had been very deep, became sharp, and he stepped forward to pick up the plank.

The wooden board was colored, the same color as the box, and the shaded part was made, and it was like seeing the bottom of the box when placed on it.

It's just a trick, but the money is still in the box.

Xu Zhimin was shocked by this scene, opened his mouth wide and looked at the silver that suddenly appeared, and he didn't say a complete sentence for a long time.

"Dali Siqing originally investigated the case like this, but I believed it with a trick, and it seems that you have done it as an official. King Rui, you say yes. Old lady Lin got up at this time, slowly paced out of the warehouse, and then walked to the side of the rolling silver, and picked up two ingots casually. One ingot was thrown to King Rui, and one ingot was thrown to Wei Xian.

The two of them looked at the account book to see if the bottom order was correct, saving Xu Siqing a while and having to settle another crime of remelting and making silver to fill the vacancy on the dog. That auxiliary country has to enter the palace now to let the emperor remove him, just by hearing about it, he believes in the temple who does not distinguish between right and wrong, he is really stupid and stupid. I don't know how the owner of the pig took a fancy to him, he is like his shape, and he is really blind to choose such a stupid thing. ”

Old Lady Lin's mouth was so poisonous that King Rui was about to lose his demeanor, and he took several deep breaths to stabilize himself, not revealing his abnormality.

And the official silver seal in his hand is really the two boxes in his mansion now, which makes him puzzled.

Even if Lin Hongzhi told him the truth, it would be impossible for him to make up for the silver, and it would be the same as the previous batch!

How did he do this strange thing?

Or, this silver...... Is it the original batch at all?

His house has been turned upside down, and he still doesn't know it? Otherwise, there is really no way to explain it, not to mention that his tricks are clearly aimed at them, in order to play with them!

King Rui pinched the silver, and there was a trace of fear in his heart, only he knew how well his mansion was guarded......

This Lin Fuguo is so hand-eyed?!

Suspicious, the king threw the silver back to the ground, and then glanced at his retinue, who was also shocked, and the attendant secretly left as he gathered around him to collect the silver.

Old lady Lin naturally noticed this scene, and it was not until Wei Xian made up his mind that the silver was forged by someone and wanted to seal the treasury again, so he walked in front of King Rui without hurry.

"Thank you King Rui for the great gift, and there will be a big gift for King ......Rui in the Ministry of Industry in a while," Old Lady Lin glanced meaningfully at King Rui, who was stiff all over, and walked past him with a smile.

Come and don't be rude, and let King Rui see what means are later!

After a few years of mixing in the court, he dared to play yin in front of him, and didn't let him cry, I don't know what ginger is or old spicy! (To be continued.) )
