However, he was only slightly stunned, so he skipped the slightest strangeness in his heart, and continued to talk to Song Youyu about the Duan family's case.

"Duan Yuyong can also be said to be rich and dangerous, I don't know if you have heard of Miss Song, Han Cangnan?"

As soon as Song Youyu recalled, he remembered that this name was the treasury official at the time of the earlier treasury silver loss case.

She just wanted to open her mouth, but suddenly remembered that at the time of the crime, this shell was still a stupid and crazy person, so she shook her head gloomily and said:

"The fish has been crazy and stupid for many years, except for the Song family, I don't know anything about it, please don't test the fish again. ”

Seeing her like this, Shi Yanmo had no choice but to slow down his voice: "Ben Hou has no intention of tempting, but if Miss Song doesn't know, then she has to start from the beginning." ”

What Shi Yanmo explained next was no different from what Song Youyu had always known.

In the autumn of two years ago, the war in the northern Xinjiang of the Great Qi was urgent, and Yanzi was ordered to receive the tiger talisman from Anqing to support.

At that time, the head of the military department, who was already the Yan family of the eldest princess's faction, did not dare to delay a minute, and immediately asked for an order to open the treasury and allocate silver to buy.

At this time, everyone discovered that one-third of the silver reserves in the treasury, about 300,000 taels, had been replaced with fake ingots.

The government and the opposition were shocked and angry, and they demanded a strict investigation.

As a result, in addition to a number of officials who were imprisoned, they did not find out where the money went, and Anqing was worried about the safety of Yanzi at that time, so he simply paid his own knighthood for three years, a total of 60,000 taels of silver, and handed it over to the Yan family.

Although her three-year salary is a small part of the loss of money in the treasury, it is not the case for others.

Ten taels of silver is enough for the annual expenses of Qijing's well-off family, and the prime minister's annual salary is only five thousand taels, Anqing is willing to take out such a large amount of money, so who can she be if the treasury is not greedy for ink?

Everyone in the court said that she was so generous because of her weak heart, but there was no evidence, and she could only talk about it.

Speaking of this, Shi Yanmo's long eyelashes were half constricted, and he said with joy and anger: "It was ridiculous that Ben Hou also believed such nonsense that day. ”

Song Youyu has seen it now, and he doesn't care: "It is not surprising that the eldest princess treats the general like her own brother, and it is difficult for others to understand." ”

Shi Yanmo's expression moved slightly, and he looked up at her, "Everyone knows that the relationship between General Yan and the eldest princess is not innocent, why do you ...... Miss Song?"

The corners of Song Youyu's mouth twitched, "Yu'er still thinks that Hou Ye is a righteous man and a gentleman, and he can tell the difference between right and wrong, but he didn't expect that he was just a person who listened to rumors?"

Without waiting for Shi Yanmo to defend herself, she smiled again: "Master Hou, guess, today you and I are boating here, tomorrow in this Qijing, how many rumors should there be? Will they believe that you and I are innocent?"

"Everyone in the world is true? If that's the case, then what else do you want Dali Temple Yushitai to do?"

was snatched by Song Youyu, but Shi Yanmo was not embarrassed unexpectedly, he even nodded.

Miss Song is reasonable. It's just that the rumors were widespread at the beginning, Ben Hou was dull, and he didn't think deeply, and he was not as good as the girl's insight. ”

"But tonight's matter, please rest assured, everyone in Beijing now knows that you and I are getting married, and no one will chew in front of the girl. ”

Song Youyu almost rolled her eyes, can Shi Yanmo not look like this, just talk about things well, why do you have to remind her over and over again that the two of them are going to get married?!

Seeing that Song Youyu no longer spoke, Shi Yanmo continued to talk about the rest of the matter.

Han Cangnan died shortly after he was imprisoned, but his death did not attract attention at that time.

Because the rest of the officials who were in prison with him also committed suicide one after another. Dali Temple thought that they committed suicide in fear of punishment, and determined that it was Anqing's doing, so they simply closed the case in a hurry.

It wasn't until this time when Duan Yuyong was investigated that he accidentally discovered that Duan Yuyong and Han Cangnan had the friendship of classmates in the academy many years ago.

After various verifications, the Duan family has only developed in the last 20 years, and they were also poor in their early years.

Duan Yuyong had taken the imperial examination for several years, but he was not always on the list, so he wanted to learn to sell goods to make a profit, but he was unlucky, and he lost all his money for several years, and even owed a large amount of silver debt.

Han Cangnan's original intention was just to lend him a sum of money to help him get out of Beijing, but for some reason, he was persuaded to steal a hundred taels of silver from the treasury to help him do business.

Maybe it's because the silver in the treasury has its own treasure, and this time Duan Yuyong's business has finally started.

Not only did it fill the original vacancy within two years, but it also became bigger and bigger, and in ten years, it has become the leading jewelry store in Beijing.

With money, you naturally want to have status. His own sister-in-law followed Song Ren'an and had another title, and Duan Yuyong felt that he could operate it.

It's just that he has failed many times, and he has no children under his knees, but he didn't want to be an official, but wanted to be an imperial businessman.

It's a pity that all the people who can be imperial businessmen are operated for several generations, and where he can do it if a foreigner wants to.

In this process, he got to know several "nobles" around the circle, and the other party promised that as long as he could provide everyone with some points, it would not be difficult for an imperial businessman.

Duan Yuyong naturally did not spare money, but later, he found that with his tens of thousands of family assets, he couldn't support such expenses.

In the end, he couldn't take out the silver, and he couldn't bear to spend it in vain, so he thought of Han Cangnan again.

It's a pity that Han Cangnan was kind at the beginning, but he was taken the handle, and said that if he didn't do it, then there would be nothing to be afraid of, and everyone would die together.

After that, Han Cangnan used his position to steal out the silver taels in the treasury for Duan Yuyong and the nobles to spend.

When Song Youyu heard this, he almost stroked his forehead and laughed.

It's just a sarcastic laugh, who would have thought that the truth could be so ridiculous?

The treasury was greedy for ink, and others relied on her, but she always thought that the prime minister's faction was secretly operating.

Even after finding out that Ruyifang was related to it, she didn't think about other possibilities, whether it was Han Cangnan or Duan Yuyong, in the eyes of Princess Anqing, they were just ants-like little people.

How could she believe that such a big thing could be done by such a small person?

When Shi Yanmo saw her situation, he seemed to feel the same way, and sighed softly: "Ben Hou never thought that the truth would be so ridiculous. Now, in order to avoid civil riots, only the Ruyi Fang has been sealed, and as for the whereabouts of the money, it will continue to be traced. ”

Song Youyu didn't react at first glance when he heard this, but after a while, he suddenly smiled:

"This time, I want the Hou Ye to take the blame, and the people don't know that the Duan family has done such a big thing, so they only say that the Marquis of Xinyang took revenge for the humiliation of the little girl, used his power for personal gain, and seized the Ruyi Fang. It's going to be hard for Hou Ye now. ”
