Chang'an City.

Shen Leng returned from Gyeonggi Province, and when he saw His Majesty, he looked cautious like a schoolboy who had done something wrong, so he leaned over to the corner of the wall.

"What are you afraid of?"

The emperor glanced at him and said, "I swore that I would clear my grievances myself, and I authorized you to go to Gyeonggi Province to investigate the case, what did you find out after checking?" Not to mention the list given to you by the King of Letters, even if you don't go to this list, it will end up in my hands, besides, what's so unusual about this list? ”

Shen Leng knew that there was indeed nothing unusual about this list, the people on this list, even if there was no evidence, His Majesty could guess a rough idea, the people were those people, and each of them was in His Majesty's mind.

"Minister...... The minister knows his mistake. ”

"What's wrong?"

"Minister, it's not good."

The emperor gave him a blank look: "You are not doing well?" It's not that you're not doing things badly, you're not doing things well. ”

He sighed: "A wave of unevenness has risen again and again. ”

He threw a piece of the recital on the table to Shen Leng, and Shen Leng hurriedly caught it with both hands, and his face suddenly changed after reading it.

"Look, people are playing with you in a different way."

The emperor walked out from behind the table and paced slowly in the wild maozhai: "Take your nose and go, let you go to Gyeonggi Province, you will go to Gyeonggi Province, let you go to Gangnam Province, you will have to go to Gangnam Province, your sky ticket number has become famous because of the flood in southern Xinjiang, I have to boast in front of the civil and military officials in the court, I have even written a good handwriting, let people frame it into a plaque and issue it in the name of Yangtian air ticket number, I really want the entire people of Daning to see, how this Daning businessman is doing." ”

The emperor looked at Shen Leng: "What now?" Your ticket number has a good reputation, so people will get your ticket number. ”

Shen Leng lowered his head: "It's all the minister's negligence, and the minister will check it immediately." ”

"The ticket number is not in your control, it can't be counted as your negligence, I also know, you have always been afraid that the Manchu Dynasty civil and military in Daning knows that the ticket number is yours, you can't explain it clearly, you can't say that one of the shareholders of the ticket number is Tingwei Mansion, and you can't say that one of the shareholders is Liuyunhui, and you can't say that one of the shareholders is me."

The emperor glanced at him, where was there any sense of blame, only a little distressed.

"Take the file on the table and look at it, it's the news that the Tingwei Mansion just delivered."

"Obey."

Shen Leng hurriedly went over and picked up the file on the table, took out the paper inside and looked at it.

"The big shopkeeper of the Chong'an County Sky Ticket is actually my fellow countryman?"

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly: "You are really a master shopkeeper, don't you know?" ”

"Minister, I really don't know."

"Then do you know this Chen Sanyang?"

"I know."

Shen Leng lowered his head and said: "Chen Sanyang and I are indeed fellow villagers in Fish Scale Town, his father and Chen Ran's father are cousins, he is Chen Ran's cousin, and he often ran behind Chen Ran's ass when he was a child. ”

The emperor looked at him: "Now even I know that it was your personal soldier general Chen Ran who arranged for his cousin to enter the heavenly ticket number, and it is precisely because this Chen Sanyang is Chen Ran's cousin that the heavenly ticket number does not have too many doubts, and even promoted him step by step to become the big treasurer." ”

The Emperor let out a sigh: "You don't want to ask about the ticket number, I can understand it, but don't you think it's irresponsible?" ”

Shen Leng was taken aback.

After thinking carefully, he realized that he was really irresponsible for not caring about the ticket number, he thought that he didn't care about it, it was a respect for so many guys with the ticket number, and he only thought about it under His Majesty's questioning, this kind of ignoring the ticket number is not disrespectful to the ticket number?

"Get out and check."

The emperor waved his hand: "Quietly go out of Beijing, don't make it known to everyone, I have no reason to send you to investigate the case involving you, you can investigate it in secret, otherwise the people of Yushitai will point at my nose and scold the faint king." ”

"Obey."

Shen Leng hurriedly answered and was about to go out.

"Wait."

The emperor glanced at him and pointed to the things on the coffee table: "Those two clothes were made by the queen herself, saying that they were made big for me, and that if I didn't wear them properly, I would give them to you, obviously they were made for you and pretended to be made for me......"

The emperor snorted: "It's cheap for you." ”

Shen Leng's heart warmed, this was the first time he felt the care from the queen's mother.

"There is also a bag of dim sum, which is also made by the queen herself."

The emperor pointed to a wooden box next to his clothes: "Take it back with you, and ...... I only knew that the black mastiff was old, so you didn't take it with you, so I deliberately went to pick a Bo Ta Wu who came up from the grassland to pay tribute, and I had already let people lead it to the palace gate, and you just rode away. ”

The corners of Shen Leng's mouth raised: "The first horse in the grassland!" ”

"Fuck off."

The emperor sighed: "While I haven't repented, otherwise I won't reward you directly, and count it as what you rented from me?" ”

"The minister will retire."

Shen Leng came out of the house with the dossier, but the mood was not as relaxed as it seemed, His Majesty didn't ask anything, but he had already given him a very clear point, without Chen Ran, Chen Sanyang would not have entered the sky, and now Chen Sanyang is the most critical person in the case, and he is missing, if it weren't for Shen Leng, according to reason, even Chen Ran would have been arrested and interrogated.

Shen Leng let out a long breath, and said in his heart that we have to find out about Ran Zi as soon as possible.

Arrived at the door, Dai Fangzhou was already waiting here with a smile, the inner guard led a big black horse with an incomparably divine horse standing not far away, the horse was tall and majestic, one size larger than the ordinary war horse, and there was a bush of red long hair on all four hooves.

"Congratulations to Grandpa Guo, and your majesty has been gracious."

Dai Fangzhou said with a smile: "Grandpa Guo, it is really a holy family. ”

Shen Leng said: "Alas...... You also know that I have no credit, and Your Majesty has given me such a famous horse to give me peace of mind. ”

He patted Dai Fangzhou's shoulder.

Dai Fangzhou was stunned, and said in his heart, Grandpa Guo, what's wrong?

His Majesty gave Shen Leng a generous reward at this moment, and he really wanted to tell Shen Leng that I did not doubt you, nor would I doubt you, just be at ease and down-to-earth.

Shen Leng led Bo Tawu out of the Imperial Garden and walked on the street, Shen Leng felt a little uneasy.

Your Majesty said, aren't you irresponsible for the day ticket number?

Shen Leng was very touched by this sentence, the ticket number has developed to such a scale, and has even become a behemoth in Daning's business, he thinks that as long as he doesn't ask, the ticket number has nothing to do with him, isn't this self-deception, not covering his ears and stealing the bell?

"I'm a hypocrisy."

Shen Leng muttered to himself.

The General's Mansion of the Naval Division.

After Shen Leng entered the door, he tied the big black horse to the stable, and ordered his soldiers to use the best forage, he did not return to the main courtyard immediately, but slowly sat down on the steps and watched the big black horse graze.

But his mind is full of ticket numbers, according to the law of Daning, the case is involved in a hundred taels of silver, even if it is a five-grade official, it must be investigated immediately, and it is a felony if it is verified, how much is he involved in this case? One million taels, and 200,000 catties of grain.

If it weren't for the fact that he had done his best to support the millions of taels of silver in the past to the flood in southern Xinjiang, His Majesty would have been furious at this time, and now he really understood the significance of what Lin Luoyu had done.

Lin Luoyu said that the sky ticket number is Shen Leng's private weapon, and she uses her private weapon to carry out the national weapon, but isn't this a violation of the ban? In other words, if the ticket number is only responsible for transportation, more than a quarter of the materials are transported by the ticket number, and soon someone in the court will stare at the ticket number to check.

But Lin Luoyu not only let the ticket number transport materials, but also donated millions of taels to the imperial court, if there were no millions of taels, how many people would hold on to the sky ticket number?

It is not easy to use private weapons to carry out national weapons.

Lin Luoyu used these millions of taels of silver to pave the way for Shen Leng, so that the imperial court recognized the ticket number, and only then did those adults turn a blind eye, and only then did His Majesty want to boast about the ticket number in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

But this time, the household department's 1 million taels of silver appropriation was lost, and 200,000 catties of grain were lost, if it really can't find out anything as soon as possible, the ticket number will fall into a catastrophe, once the ticket number really has a big incident, within Daning, at least more than 10,000 people who work for the Tianqiao number will have no livelihood, and maybe even tens of thousands.

At this moment, Chen Ran ran over with a bunch of things he had just bought, and smiled when he saw Shen Leng: "I just came back and heard from my brothers that you came back from the palace, why didn't you go back to the house and sit here?" ”

Then he noticed the majestic Botawu.

"I'll go!"

Chen Ran exclaimed.

He finished shouting, and pressed the big black horse that was peeing, startling it, and almost urinating one of his legs, no, but both legs.

Chen Ran gestured: "Half a leg is so long, have you seen it, half a leg is so long!" ”

Shen Leng pointed to his side: "Ranzi, sit down and talk." ”

Chen Ran was stunned, and from Shen Leng's expression, he could see that something was wrong, and hurriedly sat down beside Shen Leng: "What's wrong?" ”

"Chen Sanyang was arranged by you to enter the ticket number?"

"Huh?!"

Chen Ran paused for a moment, his face was a little guilty: "Actually, it's not me, it's my father, a few years ago, when I was still in Chang'an, my father and I met Lin Luoyu, and my father said to ask her to help, Chen Sanyang originally did some small business by himself, but then he lost money, and the family couldn't hold on, my father and I once scraped together some silver and sent someone to send it to him, and I didn't touch our sailor's treasury, it was my military salary." ”

"Something happened to him."

Shen Leng patted Chen Ran on the shoulder and explained the matter roughly, and after listening to it, Chen Ran's face turned pale, and almost no blood was gone.

"He ......"

With a snap, Chen Ran slammed the thing in his hand to the ground: "This bastard!" How could he do such a thing! ”

Shen Leng said: "Don't be angry, we have to find him out as soon as possible, otherwise there will be a big deal in the ticket number, Your Majesty has not made any statement now, and the cabinet has not made any statement, all because Sister Lin has tried her best to treat the victims before, so it is not good for the court to turn around immediately, but if the truth cannot be found out by dragging, it is impossible for the court to make no moves." ”

Chen Ran stood up: "Leng Zi, you say, how to check?" ”

He gritted his teeth and said, "Let me find this bastard, I will tear him alive." ”
