On the second day, at midnight, the treasury approved 100,000 taels of silver and transported it to Jingzhou Mansion, and the money arrived in Jingzhou Mansion, and then six batches were distributed and sent to the six counties of Jingzhou.

At that time, the Prime Minister's Mansion and the public court!

Meng Ge, who had already gotten up, was diligently reviewing and reciting the notes, picking out some major events and presenting them to the palace.

"Huh? Why can't I find the note uploaded by Jingzhou Taishou yesterday? ”

Meng Ge rummaged through the notes, and suddenly couldn't find the notes that Jingzhou Taishou presented last night, because they were submitted very late yesterday and were ready to be approved today, but now they suddenly couldn't find it.

Hearing Meng Ge say this, an official standing next to Meng Ge had an unnatural face and laughed softly; "Maybe the king sent someone to get it!"

This official's name is Changli, the official to the confessor, in charge of the court etiquette, accept the hundred official chapters, the upper is presented to the monarch, the lower is presented to the prime minister, put seventy people, two hundred taels of silver per year, in a simple sentence, the confessor is specially presented to the Jane, the hundreds of officials upload the Jane, they are presented to the Xiangbang, the major events selected by the Xiangbang, and then presented by them to the monarch.

"Oh? Is that so? Why wasn't I notified in advance? Meng Ge hesitated.

"It may be too late, Xiangbang has already fallen asleep, and the palace can't bear to disturb it!" Changli bent down and laughed again.

Meng Ge nodded, and then continued to review the notes.

"Step! Trample! ”

And at this moment, a burst of light footsteps came, when Changli saw the person coming, his eyes flashed with panic, Meng Ge frowned slightly, and said with some doubts: "Little Liuzi? What's the matter with Little Liuzi? ”

That's right, the person who came was Xiao Liuzi.

"Lord Xiangbang, we are ordered by the king to come to take the three states to establish a school and play Jane!" Xiao Liuzi bent down with a smile on his face and saluted, saying his purpose.

Changli's face turned white instantly, and he scolded in his heart: "Damn, how could the king pay attention to this!" ”

Meng Ge's brows furrowed even deeper, and he was extremely puzzled: "At present, Yangzhou Taishou Chongsheng and Qingzhou Taishou have not yet uploaded the report about the school, only Jingzhou Taishou Jiaoxiang has been uploaded, but last night, didn't the king send someone to take it away?" ”

"Huh?" Xiao Liuzi sighed, his face was a little stunned, and he hesitated a little: "Could it be that the king asked someone else to take it?" No, last night, the king had been in the study to review the notes, and we and my father-in-law had been waiting, and no one was sent to get it! ”

Meng Ge suddenly stood up from his chair and said to Chang Li next to him, "Lord Chuanzhi Su Nei Shihe is here!" ”

"No!" Changli hurriedly responded, and then hurriedly left the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Changli, who left the Prime Minister's Mansion, did not go directly to He Qiu, but went to an inn on the street.

"Where's your shopkeeper?" Changli asked softly to Xiao Er.

Xiao Er pointed to the back kitchen, Changli ran directly into the back kitchen without saying a word, in the back kitchen, a fat and fat shopkeeper was directing the chef, the shopkeeper saw Changli wearing an official robe, he was shocked, and quickly pulled Changli to a place where no one was, and said with some displeasure: "What are you doing, why do you come here in an official robe, there are many people!" ”

"Oh, now I'm still taking care of these, go and tell Master Jiao, the matter is going to be revealed, hurry up and find me a substitute for the dead, otherwise, I will confess it all, and no one will have a good time!" Changli looked panicked and turned pale.

"What?" The shopkeeper was stunned, and his brain suddenly went blank.

"I'm telling you, don't mess around, or your whole family will die!" The shopkeeper showed a vicious face.

"Threaten me? I tell you, if this matter is known to the king, my whole family will die and die the same, it is better to take all of you to be buried together, it is worth it! Changli was not willing to be defeated and came with a counter-threat.

The shopkeeper's face turned blue and white for a while, and finally he breathed a sigh of relief, looked around, and said in a tone: "Don't worry, I'll notify Master Jiao immediately!" ”

"Good! Be quick, time is running out! Changli panicked, his mouth was trembling, he didn't know if it was the heat in the kitchen or what, Changli's back was already soaked with sweat.

"Yes!" The shopkeeper threw down this sentence and left the back kitchen, leaving Changli alone to stand in place and wait.

After about two incense sticks, the shopkeeper hurriedly walked over and whispered to Changli: "It's done, make sure you're okay!" ”

"Whew!" Changli breathed a sigh of relief, his expression showed a relaxed expression, and then he thanked him: "Thank you!" ”

After saying that, Changli quickly left the inn and went to find He Qiu.

Looking at the back of Changli leaving, the shopkeeper shook his head, and said in his heart: "My lord, my lord, why did you find this thing as a helper, and waste a big chess piece in vain!" ”

...................

Prime Minister's Mansion! Inner Hall!

"Why is it so slow?" Meng Ge walked back and forth in the hall, quite anxious.

Xiao Liuzi was also waiting beside him, but he was not in such a hurry, but he still frowned, feeling that this matter was a bit big.

"Step! Trample! ”

A rush of footsteps came, Meng Ge hurriedly looked up, only to see He Qiu hurrying over under the guidance of Changli.

Meng Ge immediately walked in front of He Qiu, and He Qiu was about to salute, Meng Ge hurriedly stretched out his hand and interrupted: "Lord He, last night or now, was there any official document from the Prime Minister's Mansion?" By the way, it's about the construction of a school in the six counties of Jingzhou! ”

"Yes, Xia Guan just saw it in the public court, it was about the construction of a school in the six counties of Jingzhou, and it cost 100,000 taels of silver, and it was approved two hours ago, and the money has been out of the treasury!" He Qiu said with a blank face, I don't know why Meng Ge is asking this.

Meng Ge and Xiao Liuzi were shocked, without the approval of Xiangbang and Wang, 100,000 taels of silver went out?

"Lord He, this appearance has not been approved, I haven't even seen it, and Lord He, you don't want to think about it, the six counties of Jingzhou need 100,000 taels of silver to build a school?" Meng Ge said with a sad face.

"What?" He Qiu was also suddenly taken aback, and said a little incredulously: "It's impossible, there is obviously a seal printed below, otherwise, it would be impossible for the subordinates of the lower officials to approve it!" ”

"Stamped?" Meng Ge was stunned for a moment, his face was a little ugly, and Xiao Liuzi frowned and looked at Meng Ge, and then bent down expressionlessly and said: "Lord Xiangbang, you better go and explain this matter to the king yourself, hum!" ”

Xiao Liuzi snorted coldly and threw off his sleeves and left.

"Xiangbang, this is?" He Qiu was shocked and stunned, what happened?

Meng Ge didn't reply, but turned to look at the golden seal on the desk, his face was gloomy, and he said in a low tone: "Someone stole the golden seal of the original picture and stamped it privately!" ”

Because it is in the Prime Minister's Mansion, his vigilance is very low, except for going out to bring the seal, generally in the house is to put the gold seal on the desk, originally thought of convenience, but did not expect to let the villain succeed!
