Chapter 372: No Results
Yue Menghao's idea was very good, but the truth was different from his idea.
First of all, in his surveillance of all the officials, he did not find any clues.
These people are really like no one, they can work as they want, but they are restricted in their freedom and can't go home.
This made Yue Menghao a little crazy, and he almost wanted to tie up these people for torture in a fit of anger, but he still held back for the sake of the overall situation.
In addition to these officials, the most unhappy thing for Yue Menghao was Li Wenzhi and the others, who ignored his threats and advice.
Yue Menghao didn't gain anything, and Chen Xiaoting didn't gain anything in the Sun family, and things seemed to have reached a dead end like last time.
But six days later, the investigation and handling of the case finally ushered in a breakthrough.
Under Liu Shi'an's order to the following hundreds of households, Dongchang sent people to supervise it, and finally checked the Changping position in Yongxi.
The results of the inventory show that according to the grain and grass budget of the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of War for Yongxi, the total number of warehouses in the core of Yongxi should have 300,000 stone (about 90 kilograms per stone), but now the grain stock is only 70,000 stone.
300,000 stone of grain is probably enough for the garrison of Yongxi until the beginning of spring next year, but the remaining 70,000 stone of grain is only enough to distribute a month's grain in Yongxi.
Chang Ping lost more than 200,000 stone of grain, what a terrible number.
But when they saw this result for the first time, not only Shen Yue, but also Cao Yunchun and Governor Wang Yuchuan were shocked and their jaws dropped.
How crazy are the people in the yamen to do such crazy things.
And how erosive is the grain and grass transportation system in the entire Yongxi territory, so that such a vicious thing will be concealed until now.
It's no wonder that when Ji Cheng Sun Yaolin found out that it was boring, he would be directly killed by these people.
It is not a big deal to be able to embezzle more than 200,000 stones of grain and kill a mere Ji Cheng.
The case was so bad that Cao Yunchun had reached the point where he couldn't bear it anymore, and in a fit of rage, he directly ordered all the three leading officials of the Yamen to be imprisoned.
Fortunately, the remaining 70,000 stone of grain was enough to last for a month, and the grain borrowed by Liangzhou and Jianchuan was almost in place at this time.
In order to borrow food, Cao Yunchun and Wang Yuchuan took great pains, not only to persuade the governors and transit envoys of Liangzhou and Jianchuan, but also to carefully report the matter to the capital.
One can imagine how angry they will be when it reaches the cabinet at this time, when it reaches the ears of His Majesty the Emperor.
Therefore, Shen Yue once again ordered Liu Shi'an, urging him to make progress in the investigation of the transfer envoy yamen before the arrival of the Qin mission.
The prison of the Thousand Households was gloomy, Yue Menghao was registering at the entrance of the prison, while Chen Xiaoting was standing in the back and chatting with Liu Siqin.
As the son of the previous Qianhu, Liu Siqin can directly sit in the position of being in charge of 100 households, which has to be said to be a blessing.
Like Ren Liansheng, who was in charge of the previous 100 households, the authority in the position of Suiren is relatively small, but Liu Siqin also avoids disputes in the 1000 households.
So he can communicate with Yue Menghao, and he can chat with Chen Xiaoting at this time.
Seeing Yue Menghao put down his pen, Chen Xiaoting said to Liu Siqin: "Lord Liu, let's talk later, we have to go in first!" ”
Liu Siqin nodded and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, walk slowly, let's go to Piaoxiang Building to listen to music in a few days!" ”
Chen Xiaoting also smiled: "Then thank you Lord Liu for your kindness!" ”
The two of them said goodbye, and when Chen Xiaoting left, the smile on Liu Siqin's face disappeared.
He is in charge of a hundred households in a dignified manner, and the general banner is not inferior to him when he sees him, and only Chen Xiaoting and Yue Menghao are special, and he has to take the initiative to come out and talk.
Liu Siqin's slander is really not nonsense, since he served as the head of the hundred households, the general flag of the thousand households and the general flag of the hundred households below, that one must not pay a careful visit to him.
Although he was not very happy in his heart, Liu Siqin would control his emotions. The so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, and Chen Xiaoting and Yue Menghao are qualified to let him treat each other cautiously.
Besides, Chen Xiaoting and Yue Menghao, after the two entered the dungeon of Qianhusuo together, they went to the place where Li Wenzhi was imprisoned under the guidance of the captain on duty.
Li Wenzhi, Gao Yanyang and Cao Jing, the three are now detained separately, and Yue Menghao first saw Li Wenzhi.
Entering the door of the cell, Yue Menghao came to Li Wenzhi, who had been tied to the pillar, and said coldly: "Lord Li, after being locked up here for a night, you should also figure out a lot of things, right?"
After staying in this dim environment for a night, Li Wenzhi, who was suffering from eye diseases, was almost blind at this time, so he simply closed his eyes and said, "This lord, this official...... I don't know what to figure out! ”
Hearing this, Yue Menghao was a little angry, and immediately reprimanded angrily: "Master Li, do you think that if you don't say it, others won't say it?" ”
"You are the head of the transfer envoy Yamen, don't you know that the Yamen is tired? Or did you swallow the missing food? ”
But who is Li Wenzhi, who has been rolling in the Huan Sea for so many years, how can he be dismantled by Yue Menghao's words.
I only heard Li Wenzhi say: "This lord, old and dizzy, failed to identify the corrupt officials in the yamen, it is a dereliction of duty!" ”
Speaking of this, Li Wenzhi also shed two tears and said: "Old decay and incompetence, I am ashamed of the emperor's trust!" ”
The old thing was actually played, which made Yue Menghao helpless for a while. If someone else had played him like this, he would have been punished a long time ago.
But now he still has to squeeze out the place where the lost food goes from the mouth of the old thing, so Yue Menghao doesn't dare to make a big move.
If it is really a big punishment, Li Wenzhi may burp, and when the time comes, who will Yue Menghao find.
But after thinking for a while, Yue Menghao said: "Old thing, you think you have a tight mouth, so I can't do anything about you?" ”
"You're not afraid of anything, but you still have your family, don't you care if they live or die?"
Yue Menghao's method can be described as vicious, but it hit Li Wenzhi's soft underbelly.
I heard Li Wenzhi say angrily: "All the blame is decaying, and it has nothing to do with my family, how dare you come nonsense...... Do you regard the law of the Ming Dynasty as nothing? ”
Standing aside, Li Wenzhi's words almost made Chen Xiaoting laugh.
Li Wenzhi and others embezzled more than 200,000 stone of military rations, but he had the face to say that others did not follow the laws of the Ming Dynasty.
This is a typical double standard, which shows the face of the so-called literati and gentlemen of this era.
At this time, Chen Xiaoting couldn't help but say: "Master Li, if you really still care about the Great Ming Law, then tell the truth about your embezzlement of military rations, and then you may end up well!" ”
Li Wenzhi couldn't help but be silent, and finally said: "The old man doesn't know anything about embezzling military rations!" ”
After Chen Xiaoting and Yue Menghao glanced at each other, both of them knew that it was impossible for Li Wenzhi to ask here, at least not now.
So Yue Menghao said ruthlessly: "Since you don't say it now, then let your son accompany you, it's really not okay to let your grandson come in!" ”
"Despicable!" Li Wenzhi scolded angrily, but his eyes were wide but there was no brilliance.
Then Yue Menghao brushed his sleeves away, and after Chen Xiaoting glanced at Li Wenzhi, he followed Yue Menghao's footsteps and went out.
When Yue Menghao went to see Gao Yanyang and Cao Jing again, these two were upright enough, and they directly threw the pot on each other's heads and picked themselves clean.
Even so, when asked where the food was, the two men could not answer anything.
Because if the answer comes out, it doesn't mean that they are also involved, at least there is a suspicion of not reporting it.
