Then he was shocked to realize the meaning of Jin Yuan's words, and hurriedly said, "I don't know!" The emperor didn't know about this yet, and when the lower officials found out that the silver was missing, they reported it directly to the lord, and now no one knows about it. ”

Jin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then fell silent again.

The silver for the construction of the pipeline is gone, such a big thing can't be concealed at all, now is the time when the silver is needed, and this silver is allocated by the old emperor, and it has been personally checked before he left Beijing, if he does not find out the reason as soon as possible, this matter can only be carried by Jin Yuan himself in the end.

Ning Zhao just went out, and although he brought a lot of luggage when he went out, the commonly used items also had to be supplied nearby.

Ning Zhao went out with the green cicada early in the morning, and when he came back, he saw that there was another person in the courtyard, and after a closer look, he was familiar.

"Your Excellency." There are outsiders here, and the number of etiquette cannot be lost, Ning Zhao blessed Jin Yuan and called.

Jin Yuan's mind was all on the silver, Ning Zhao didn't notice it when he arrived at his side, and when he heard Ning Zhao's voice, Jin Yuan came back to his senses.

"I'm back." Jin Yuan stood up, habitually smiled at Ning Zhao, and beckoned, "Tired, sit down and rest." ”

Ning Zhao walked up to him and sat down, looked at the somewhat restrained person opposite, smiled, and asked Jin Yuan, "Don't introduce me, this is ......?"

"Oh, ma'am."

Feng Shilang hurriedly stood up, arched his hand towards Ning Zhao, didn't need Jin Yuan's introduction, and replied: "Feng Zhong, the servant of the lower official household department, has seen Madame." ”

Ning Zhao also stood up, blessed Feng Zhong, and said with a smile: "Lord Feng doesn't have to be restrained, please sit down quickly." ”

Feng Zhong glanced at Jin Yuan, whose face was slightly pale, and quietly wiped his sweat and sat down, the two did not speak, but Ning Zhao's eyes looked back and forth, and Jin Yuan could see that something was wrong at a glance.

Ning Zhao hesitated and opened his mouth, asked Jin Yuan, and said, "If your lord has something important to discuss, I will retreat first." ”

"Not necessarily." Jin Yuan grabbed Ning Zhao's hand and used a little strength.

The touch of holding it in the palm of his hand calmed Jin Yuan for no reason, and he smiled softly to show reassurance, and then said to Feng Zhong: "Lord Feng must not have found a good place to live if he dared to come in a hurry." ”

"There should still be space in the post house, you go and let the officials prepare it for you, and we'll talk about other things later."

The meaning of driving people is already very clear, Feng Zhong is not a fool, hearing this, he quickly got up and arched his hand towards the two, and retired from acquaintance.

When the person was far away, Ning Zhao reopened his mouth and asked very directly, "What's wrong?" ”

For Jin Yuan, the two of them are only a short time, but Ning Zhao has known Jin Yuan for two lifetimes, and sometimes he dares to say that he is a person who knows himself better than Jin Yuan, although Jin Yuan conceals it well, he can't escape Ning Zhao's eyes.

Jin Yuan didn't speak, just looked at her sideways, Ning Zhao didn't urge, the two looked at each other, and after a while, Jin Yuan was defeated, and sighed heavily.

"Something went wrong with the money allocated to build the official road." Jin Yuan said lightly.

"What's the problem?"

Ning Zhao didn't let him fool him like this, and asked carefully, "Adults don't have to hide it from me, you know, if I really want to know, you can't hide it." ”

Ning Zhao stared at Jin Yuan, his eyes full of determination.

Jin Yuan sighed again, helplessly, and said: "Before leaving Beijing, I personally checked the silver taels, and I didn't want to leave Beijing, and there was a problem with the silver in just a few days." ”

Ning Zhao didn't say anything and still looked at Jin Yuan, Jin Yuan was looked at by her, so he had to say, "Feng Zhong's meaning, that silver is gone." ”

"Gone?" Ning Zhao was suddenly surprised, and said in disbelief: "That's the treasury!" Say it's gone? ”

Saying that, Ning Zhao remembered something, suddenly looked at Jin Yuan, and asked: "Now that the official road has started construction, this silver is said to be used immediately, if you can't take it out, then ...... you, my lord?"

Jin Yuan didn't know, but Feng Zhong didn't tell the court as soon as he found out, but hurried to Lindu in a hurry to explain the matter to himself.

If he is now in front of the old emperor to tell the truth, he is not in Kyoto, how do he know, saying that Feng Shilang came to tell him, I believe many people will have some other ideas.

Guards steal from themselves!

This is the most likely idea of everyone, and it is what Jin Yuan is most worried about.

"So what now?" The incident happened suddenly, and Ning Zhao ran out of ideas, looking at Jin Yuan's eyes full of worry and anxiety.

Lord Chen's matter has only passed, and now there is a problem with the silver of the household department, Liuliju is Ning Zhao's industry, Ning Zhao was implicated in the accident, Jin Yuan is the secretary of the household department, the silver is gone, and he is the one in charge!

"Could it be that someone is behind the scenes?" Ning Zhao guessed.

It's no wonder that Ning Zhao would guess like this.

Jin Yuan and himself are not enemies, but their political opinions and status are different, which will always attract the eyes of others, now that Jin Yuan is not in Kyoto, the silver is gone, if Feng Zhong does not come to tell him, he will find out when the silver is transferred, and he can catch Jin Yuan off guard!

"Not impossible."

Jin Yuan nodded approvingly, and then said: "But the whole thing has no beginning and no end, and a sum of official money disappeared so suddenly, it must be artificial, but I don't know if this is to deal with me, or who I want to suppress by dealing with me." ”

"Who can be suppressed?"

Ning Zhao frowned and directly recognized the former.

Now the prince has taken the throne, but Jin Yuan has always been neutral, there is no party, if you want to say which side to stand on, to be precise, Jin Yuan is only ordered to fight the old emperor.

Jin Yuan had no support, so he fell into a dilemma, which was also something that Ning Zhao had been worried about early on.

"It's not so easy for such a large amount of official money to flow, and you will definitely be able to find clues."

Jin Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and said: "The biggest obstacle is that I am not in Kyoto, if I want the emperor to propose to return to Beijing now, how should the emperor answer me?" ”

Ning Zhao was still immersed in his own thoughts, and did not answer his words to Jin Yuan for a while.

She has always been wary of Murong Cheng, but some people are always unable to guard against it, and now the court has the greatest hatred for Jin Yuan, and the only one who wants to kill Jin Yuan the most is Murong Cheng, and because of this, the first person Ning Zhao can think of is Murong Cheng.

"Could it be Murong Cheng?" Ning Zhao said the guess in his heart.

Jin Yuan didn't rush to reply when he heard this, he lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then shook his head.

Ning Zhao was a little surprised, and he didn't understand what Jin Yuan meant by shaking his head, "Not Murong Cheng?" ”

"Nope." Jin Yuan shook his head again, and Ning Zhao was even more confused.

Fortunately, she is not an impatient person, and patiently waited for Jin Yuan to explain, "It can't be confirmed yet, but Murong Cheng's suspicion is the greatest." ”

"But if it's really Murong Cheng, he must have prepared a backhand." Jin Yuan closed his eyes slightly, and his voice was very soft, "I knew about this matter in Lindu far away, but no one reported the matter to the emperor, if this is Murong Cheng, it shouldn't be like this, he is not such an unplanned person." ”
