Chapter 682

Meng Yuan's breath became extremely cold.

The grain depot in Beijing is a major event of the country, and the major grain depots in Jiangpu and Lishui are to reserve grain for the country, in order to respond to emergencies in times of war and natural disasters, and the grain needs to be transferred from these three major grain depots when disasters are affected in other places.

If there is a problem with the grain depot, it is a big problem.

When the Joint Investigation Department inspected the grain depot some time ago, it only checked the account books and counted the numbers, but did not open the bag to inspect it.

As soon as he thought of this, not only Tang Jun, but even Meng Yuan felt a cold sweat break out on his back.

Fu Jun had read the newspaper for many years, and she also knew what the inspection of the treasury meant, so she said: "Then let's assume that He Gu's death was because he raised the matter of the inspection." In this way, the two cases are linked to each other: one died in the possession of a secret letter, and the other died in the prosecution of the database. This leads to another hypothesis: Is it possible that this murderer was an official or could have access to the Joint Investigation Department and the grain depot, or someone like Bo, otherwise where did he learn about the inspection of the treasury and the secret letter?"

Ordinary civilians have no possibility of coming into contact with this kind of news, especially the affairs of the Joint Investigation Department, and ordinary people cannot know about it, Fu Jun believes that even if the murderer is not an official, he must have a deep relationship with the people in the officialdom.

Meng Yuan's breath was slightly cold when he heard this, and he frowned and said, "Very likely." ”

If He Gu's death is really related to the inspection of the treasury, this assumption can be established, and the mobility of middle- and low-level officials is relatively large, and there are also conveniences such as sending local officials to Beijing to report on work on business trips, and they are also running around the country. If you look at it in detail, compared with ordinary dart masters and merchants, the identity of officials is more concealed and less noticeable.

Tang Jun looked at Fu Jun in a daze at this time.

Since the last time, he has been impressed by this cousin, and today, the other party's cousin can really be described as amazing.

Unbridled imagination, unique observation angles, and keen intuition are vividly reflected in Fu Jun.

"My cousin is really a genius." He couldn't help but exclaim, his eyes full of admiration.

Fu Jun smiled slightly and said, "I just thought about it in a different direction, just like Cousin Jun said, sometimes if you look at it differently, you may find something." Besides, my speculation has not yet been confirmed, and it is still what is going on in the inspection of the library, so I can continue to investigate. ”

This matter is indeed serious and must be dealt with immediately.

Meng Yuan said to Tang Jun solemnly: "Without further ado, I will send Ah Jun back to the house first, you quickly report this matter to Commander He, and I will go to the Joint Investigation Department later." ”

He is a standard military style, vigorous and resolute, and while speaking, he put the curtain on Fu Jun's head.

Fu Jun also knew that this matter was not trivial, and he did not delay much, quickly tidied up the curtain, and the group left the scene of the crime, and the soldiers were divided into two ways, Tang Jun returned to the Joint Investigation Division, and Meng Yuan quickly sent Fu Jun back to the Wenguo Mansion, and left in a hurry.

The investigation has made great progress, but Fu Jun does not dare to take it lightly, she has a more important thing to do, this matter needs to be informed to Wang Xiang and Fu Geng in advance.

So, soon after returning home, Chu Jian took Fu Jun's message to the old mansion and the Pingnan Hou Mansion respectively, and when the sun was full of sky, Wang Xiang and Fu Geng were dressed in civilian clothes, and Shi Shiran came to the mansion of the Duke of Wen.

Meng Zhu had already gotten a message from Fu Jun and knew that the three of them had important matters to discuss, so he only showed up to say hello and left.

As he stepped out of the study, the western sky was covered with crimson fiery clouds, heralding another hot and sunny day, with the shadows of the trees jagged on the ground, and a southerly wind swept through the birch forest, and the wind still had a warm breath.

Meng Zhu took out the silk silk and wiped it on his face.

After only a few steps, his forehead was already soaked with sweat, and the weather was really hot.

He looked back at the study.

The four doors of the study are wide open, the windows are also open, and from the position where he is, you can still see the faces of Wang Xiang and Fu Geng, only Fu Jun is sitting in the corner, and he does not show his figure.

Meng Zhu glanced twice into the study from afar.

These people seemed to be talking about something important, Wang Xiang and Fu Geng both had stern expressions, especially Fu Geng, who exuded a coldness all over his body.

The last time the second girl of the Pingnan Hou Mansion and her husband were fighting on the street, Fu Geng was so cold, but he didn't know what happened to the Pingnan Hou Mansion, and he even alarmed Wang Xiang, thinking that the matter was not trivial.

Meng Zhu picked up the folding fan and shook it a few times, thinking to himself in his heart.

However, then again, it has nothing to do with him, he just doesn't know it. As he thought about it, he shook his head, took his hands up, and walked slowly out of the birch forest

In the midsummer of the third year of Jianwu, it was as long as the road that stretched endlessly under the sun, scorching and scorching, that is, it rained, and the raindrops smashed on the ground were also smoking, which really made people think that if the rain fell on people, it could really burn a hole.

The whole city was wrapped in a heat wave, fell into a dead silence, all the people in the city who had some face, all went to the outside of the city to escape the summer, and even the emperor took the queen to the palace to spend the summer, so the matter of inspecting the grain depot in Jiangpu seemed to be swept away by the heat wave, and did not make waves in Beijing, and the vast majority of people were not even aware of it.

However, in the palace, Liu Yun held the secret fold of the inspection warehouse handed over by He Jingbian, and a layer of green energy had faintly gathered on his expressionless face.

Nearly forty percent of the grain in the depot turned into lime and mud sand, and a total of 20,000 stone of grain was nowhere to be found.

And a closer look, these missing grains are actually related to the rebel king Liu Jing.

The manager of the grain depot was originally the nephew of the governor of the Zhongwang Mansion, who was imprisoned after the Bingshen Incident, and died of illness in prison not long after, and He Gu also served as the manager of the grain depot from then until he was killed not long ago.

Liu Yun frowned, put the fold on the imperial case, and asked lightly: "Where did the rebel king transport this batch of grain, can you find out?"

He Jing bowed and said: "Wei Chen has reviewed the changes in the properties under the name of the rebel king in recent years, and the strange thing is that there have been no major changes, and the few ships under the name of the rebel king have not moved much in recent years. Weichen thought that this batch of grain was not used against the king. ”

"Oh" Liu Yun's face turned cold instantly, and he said in a deep voice: "In your opinion, is it true?"

"Yes, Weichen thinks that this is probably still the work of that mysterious force." He Jingbian's face was very solemn

Liu Yun sneered, brushed his sleeves and said: "If this is the case, then the mysterious power is not small, but I am very suspicious of this. He paused for a moment, and his expression became quite relaxed: "Such a large amount of grain is not so easy to move, I deduce that even if this grain is shipped out, only a part of it will be lost, and the rest must be hidden." ”

Speaking of this, he pondered for a moment and then said: "Lao He, from now on, you will tighten the mouth of the land and water port, and I will tell how they will transport the grain out." ”

"Yes." He Jingbian responded neatly.

In fact, long before Liu Yun gave the order, he had already ordered people to keep an eye on the water and land arteries leading from Jinling to various places. He also thinks that all the grain must not have been shipped out yet, and the only way to do this is to block the road first, and then check it down
