The capital was turned over by Jinyiwei and Ziche, but they still didn't find out the spies of the Changshengmen, nor did they find out the three people of the Darkwind Building, so Qin Xiaoyan trained the leader of Jinyiwei and Ziche.

Jin Yiwei and Ziche didn't dare to take a breath, turned around and continued to expand the scope of searching. And when Jinyiwei and Ziche lost one after another, the dark guard, who has never been very "reliable", did a very good job this time.

The dark guard was ordered to investigate the matter of Ji Nuo, and recently the Ji family has made a big move, and has sold most of the property in private.

The Ji family has been hoarding grain since the year before last, and this year they have increased the amount of grain hoarding, and more than half of the industries sold have become grain, and these grains are being quietly transported to Northern Qi.

Ji Jiaming is a big businessman on the surface, but he is the biggest smuggler in private, selling things that are not allowed to be traded on the surface of the Three Kingdoms. However, because the Ji family is good at being a man and sharing the benefits equally, he only takes a small head, but the big head is given to the senior officials above.

Whether it is Great Qin, Northern Qi or Xihu, there are many people who have taken the benefits of the Ji family, and naturally they will also give convenience to the Ji family.

In addition, the emperors of various countries also need such a channel, and the Ji family is also smart, they only sell things that the emperors acquiesce into, and what the emperors strictly prohibit, they have a limit even if they sell.

For example, the Ji family only smuggles a small part of grain and iron tools every year, which cannot shake the balance of the three kingdoms, and can also make countries like Xihu and Northern Qi that lack food a little more peaceful.

Due to the geographical location, Northern Qi and Xihu are in a state of food shortage all year round, and Daqin will give some help on the surface, but the amount is not much, and it can only be a drop in the bucket.

The Ji family will also privately sell some grain to the two countries every year, and the same amount is not much, at least not enough for the people of the two countries to have food and clothing, and can only ensure that they will starve to death less every year.

With this batch of grain and grass, there are not many people who died in Northern Qi and Xihu, so they will not send troops to Daqin and come to Daqin to grab grain. Moreover, the price of the grain sold by the Ji family to Northern Qi and Xihu is not low. The Northern Qi and Xihu had to take out a considerable amount of silver and valuables every year to exchange these grains and grasses, so that the treasury was never rich.

This is a matter that is beneficial to both parties, the Ji family has always done well, and more than eighty percent of the benefits are obtained every year, which is to honor the officials and treasury of Great Qin. Everyone was very satisfied with this, and even the emperor acquiesced.

People are hungry and ruthless, they can do anything, if they really want to control the grain to death, not give Xihu and Northern Qi a way to live, and arouse the anger of the people in the two countries, if they really want to fight, Daqin will not be able to win it at all.

But...... People change!

The Ji family has been doing well over the years, and said that they will continue to be good, and it does not mean that their descendants will also make money for the three kingdoms of Daqin, Xihu and Northern Qi, at least not the ambitious Ji Nuo.

Zino is an ambitious man. From the fact that he provoked the third princess of Xihu but did not marry anyone, and from his friendship with the emperor of Northern Qi, it can be seen that he is very ambitious.

Ji Nuo has ambition and strength, he secretly hoarded a large amount of grain very early, and now he is also buying grain privately, just to transport these grains and grass to Northern Qi and deal a fatal blow to Great Qin.

Ji Nuo was very secretive when he did this, and he also had Northern Qi, Changshengmen and local officials to cover him, and there was no trace of abnormality on the surface. If Jun Yi'an hadn't said that Ji Nuo was abnormal, Qin Shiyan and Gu Qiancheng might not have been able to find him for a while.

It's not that Daqin's spies are incompetent, but the Ji family is in a very delicate position, and it is not so easy for Daqin's spies to check the news of the Ji family. This time, if it weren't for the Ji family's action of selling property and privately transporting grain, the secret guard might not be able to find out.

"Half of Daqin's grain is in the Ji family, which is more than the grain in the treasury, what does the Ji family want to do? Rebellion? Qin Shiyan's face turned pale when he saw the news from the secret guard.

He hadn't been so angry in a long time, and Zino had succeeded in provoking his anger.

"My subordinates are derelict in their duties, please forgive the emperor." Although the secret guards found out about the Ji family, they knew that it was not a credit because they found out too late.

Fortunately, although it is late, there is still a possibility of remedy. The Ji family's largest batch of grain is still in Daqin, and if they react quickly enough, they should be able to stop that batch of grain.

"You ...... Recently, I have become more and more incompetent. Qin Shiyan became more and more dissatisfied with the dark guard. Although Gu Qiancheng didn't say anything, he knew very well that this time the secret guard was so efficient, thanks to the Wu family.

Speaking of this, I have to say how far-sighted the martial arts family is. When Emperor Daqin was unable to install people in the Ji family, the Wu family found a nail within the Ji family, and this time it was thanks to that nail, otherwise the affairs of the Ji family were really not so easy to investigate.

"Please punish the emperor." Dark One lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Qin Shiyan.

However, Dark One didn't worry too much in his heart. They have been following the emperor for more than ten years, and they know the emperor's temperament too well. Although the emperor is strict, he is the most protective of his shortcomings, they are all people who are sincerely loyal to the emperor, even if they occasionally make small mistakes and appear to be incompetent, the emperor will not punish them too heavily.

However, the dark one thought left this time!

Ziche's concealment of the Dark Wind Building made Qin Xiaoyan very happy, and seeing Ziche single-handedly training the secret guard to be so incompetent, it added fuel to the fire.

No longer as gentle as before, Qin Shiyan said sternly: "I am too kind to you. Every time you make a mistake, it's just a small punishment, so that you all relax. This time, I will not punish you severely, and you will not do your best next time. ”

"Emperor, Emperor......" was covered in cold sweat, and his face was as white as paper. But as soon as he said two words, he was interrupted by Qin Shiyan, "Leave all the affairs in your hands to Wu Yi and take the punishment yourself." "He should have made it clear to the Dark Guard that without the Dark Guard he still has a lot of people to use.

Dark One was stunned on the spot, prostrate on the ground, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, please, please give the despicable another chance." "After handing over all the errands in hand and being replaced by the Wu family, what else can they do after that?

"I've given you too many chances, go down and get punished!" Qin said undoubtedly.

Dark One has been following Qin Xiaoyan for a long time, he knows Qin Xiaoyan's temper, and although he is scared, he doesn't dare to plead anymore, so he can only retreat as if climbing.

After the secret guard left, Qin Xiaoyan asked people to announce the Hubu Shangshu, planning to beat it well, lest the Hubu Shangshu become the second secret guard, but before he could say it, the eunuch hurriedly came to report: "The Holy Lord, the Emperor Taishang ...... summoned Miss Gu for questioning. ”

If it is called, it means that Gu Qiancheng has gone to see the Emperor!
