Shen looked at Yao Chaozong with a sneer, and the smile on his face was like a flower, like a peach blossom for a while, a chrysanthemum for a while, and a sunflower for a while.

This kind of smiling face made Yao Chaozong smile, and then he reacted and said that he said that you wanted to check the Tongcunhui, so his face became ugly.

Shen Leng got up and walked in front of Yao Chaozong, staring at Yao Chaozong's face with his head down: "I'll just say, there are really not many people in power in the imperial court among the major families, how can you, the secretary from the Fourth Grade Water Department, not be among them." ”

Yao Chaozong snorted: "So what? ”

Shen Leng: "So let me speculate...... If the Tongcun Association wants to operate, it is not only a business on the surface, but also a covert business, which requires a large amount of gold and silver flow. ”

He looked at Yao Chaozong's eyes and said seriously: "And the flow of gold and silver is large, and you can't go on Lin Miaozhai's bright account, because this is well documented, as long as you go to the account, the Tingwei Mansion will no longer be so watching, when the imperial court is using money, the flood in the south of the Yangtze River needs money, and the embankment bursts for hundreds of miles, and it can't be filled without millions of taels of silver, I need silver, and the naval battle in Dongjiang is not easy to fight without silver." ”

"So Lin Miaozhai's silver must flow in a channel that no one can imagine, and it can't be a money bank, the money village is too conspicuous, all money houses are key places supervised by the imperial court, and every account will be checked every month."

"Just now."

Shen sneered: "When you said the three words of the Tongcun Association yourself, I suddenly figured it out. ”

Yao Chaozong became nervous: "What do you want to understand?" ”

Shen Leng said: "You still don't understand why I want to arrest you?" Because I guess the money will be in your hands. ”

Yao Chaozong snorted: "You think too much. ”

Shen Leng said: "You may not have figured it out, for the imperial court, it is investigating the case, for me, it is robbing money, I am not interested in any case, I am interested in money, if this money is found by the Tingwei Mansion first, it will be used for the reconstruction of the flood in southern Xinjiang, and if I grab it first, it will be used for the naval battle in Eastern Xinjiang." ”

Shen Leng: "Money, ......"

He turned around: "Chen Ran, take our people, and then bring Master Yao, let's go to the Ministry of Industry." ”

"Ministry of Works?"

Chen Ran was shocked: "Let's privately arrest a Ministry of Industry from the Sipin Division has already made a big fuss, and now we have to go to the Ministry of Industry?" ”

"Nothing."

Shen Leng strode out: "It's all for money, but if it's for money, I'm not afraid of making a big fuss, what can't I do for money?" ”

Yao Chaozong shouted: "I'm not going anywhere, I'm going to see Your Majesty!" ”

"I said, you'll see."

Shen Leng beckoned, and a hundred personal soldiers followed him out of the General's Mansion, and as soon as he went out, he saw the black eyes, and the black eyes came over to salute with a smile, and Shen Leng said: "Go back and tell Your Majesty, I will enter the palace later to give Your Majesty an explanation." ”

Blackeye: "Okay." ”

After saying that, he left.

Shen Leng shouted: "Go to the academy for dinner in the evening." ”

Blackeye raised his hand and shook it: "No problem! ”

Chen Ran snorted and laughed, "It's really neat." ”

Nie Ye asked, "Guogong, what about me?" ”

Shen Leng said: "You? It's nothing, you go back to the Tingwei Mansion, don't tell Lord Han where I've been. ”

Nie Ye said: "But if Lord Han asks." ”

Shen Leng: "You just say you don't know." ”

After finishing speaking, he took a hundred personal soldiers to escort Yao Chaozong straight to the Ministry of Industry, the six yamen were all in the imperial city area, not far from Weiyang Palace, Shen Leng took a hundred personal soldiers to the outside of the Ministry of Industry, and the guards at the door had to be nervous.

"An Guogong."

One of them leaned over and said after looking at Shen Leng's waist card: "I don't know what happened to An Guogong to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, let me go in and say goodbye, Lord Shangshu is in the cabinet, and Lord Shilang is in Southern Xinjiang for disaster relief, so ......"

Shen Leng stepped forward: "I'll just go in by myself, I don't have to pass through." ”

The guard was taken aback: "Guogong, Guogong, you are leading troops to trespass on the yamen of the Ministry of Industry." ”

Shen Leng nodded: "Yes." ”

The guards hurriedly stopped: "Please wait for the Duke of Guo, and we will go to the cabinet to inform Lord Shangshu to come to greet the Duke of Guo." ”

"No, you don't."

Shen Leng glanced at Chen Ran: "Unloaded their weapons." ”

As soon as Chen Ran waved his hand, the soldiers went up and held down a few guards outside the yamen of the Ministry of Industry, and the skillful movements made people feel that they must have done this thing, only for a moment, several guards were knocked down and their weapons were also taken off, Chen Ran asked people to tie people with the ropes they brought and put them at the door, and then waved and rushed into the yamen with people.

Shen Leng looked at the guards and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I tied you up for your own good, which is enough to prove that you didn't stop me, but you couldn't stop me." ”

After saying that, he stepped through the door.

The Yamen of the Ministry of Industry is very large, and after Shen Leng came in, he glanced back at Yao Chaozong: "Say, where is the treasury of your Yamen of the Ministry of Water?" ”

Yao Chaozong snorted and ignored it.

Shen Leng ordered: "Pull out the nails of his two hands, and if he still refuses to say that he has pulled out ten nails, then pull out the nails on his feet." ”

One couldn't stand the pain before he pulled out Yao Chaozong, and pointed in one direction: "The Yamen of the Ministry of Water is over there." ”

Shen Leng led the soldiers over, and many officials from the Ministry of Industry had already surrounded them, and no one knew what was going on, and no one knew what to do.

Someone had the courage to stop Shen Leng, but everyone who stopped was ordered to be tied up by Shen Leng.

"I'll say it seriously now, just once."

Shen Leng stopped and swept the officials of the Ministry of Industry: "I'll handle the case, if anyone stops me, I'll order the killing." ”

He commanded: "Chen Ran! The sword opens the way! ”

"Whew!"

Chen Ran and they responded, he took two ten-person teams to draw knives in front, the blades were bright, the cold was dazzling, and more than two dozen black line knives opened the way in front, this time no one dared to stop them.

Two moments later, Weiyang Palace.

The people from the Ministry of Industry hurriedly ran to the cabinet, and when they saw the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Ding, they were about to cry: "Lord Shangshu, An Guogong led troops to break into the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, and whoever stopped him would be killed, and many people in the Yamen had been kidnapped." ”

Ding Yao exploded when he heard it: "How can this be reasonable! ”

The person who reported the news saw that Lord Shangshu was angry, and he also had more confidence in his heart, although Shen Leng was a national prince, but Lord Shangshu was still a member of the second and first rank of the cabinet, if it was only a Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, it would only be a second product, and the second assistant of the cabinet would be different immediately.

The messenger said: "My lord, shall we go back to stop An Guogong now?" ”

Ding was going to stride out: "Of course...... Don't go. ”

He was already a little panicked at this time, Shen Leng would not do these things for no reason, Shen Leng was not really Shen Maniac, he first arrested the director of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Water, and then led the troops to break into the Ministry of Industry, how did Shen Leng come out without confidence?

"I'm going to see Your Majesty, and I'll let Your Majesty scold him!"

After finishing speaking, Ding Yao ran in the direction of Dongnuan Pavilion, and at this moment, the emperor in Dongnuan Pavilion was playing chess with Lai Cheng, and when he heard Dai Fangzhou say that Ding asked to see, the emperor smiled and said: "It seems that Shen Leng's Lou Zi is stabbing bigger, and our Lord Shangshu can't sit still." ”

He waved his hand, "Let him in." ”

As soon as Ding Yao entered the door, he knelt down in front of the emperor with a thud: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty." ”

"Huh?"

The emperor was stunned: "Lord Ding, what do you mean by this?" When you come in, you kneel down and say that you are guilty, then you tell me, what is your sin? ”

Ding Yao shook his head: "The minister doesn't know yet, but the minister is sure that the minister must be guilty, otherwise An Guogong would not have taken his personal soldiers directly into the Ministry of Industry, and the minister felt that An Guogong must be right, so it can only be the minister's mistake." ”

The emperor snorted, this Ding wants to retreat as a very beautiful play.

The emperor said, "You get up and speak first." ”

Ding Yao refused to get up: "The minister still kneels, if An Guogong really finds out any major crimes that the minister doesn't know about for a while, the minister still has to kneel, it's better to kneel first than to kneel later." ”

The emperor smiled and shook his head: "If you want to kneel, you can kneel, I will wait, if Shen Leng really finds out anything in your Ministry of Industry, I will deal with it as appropriate, if Shen Leng does not find anything in your Ministry of Industry, I will severely punish him for making decisions for you." ”

Ding Yao nodded immediately: "The ministers are grateful." ”

Another hour later, Wei Lan, the commander of the Ouchi guards, came in from outside: "Your Majesty, An Guogong has arrived." ”

The emperor laughed: "It's coming quickly." ”

Shen Leng came in from outside and bowed down: "Minister, Shen Leng, meet Your Majesty." ”

The emperor said: "Let's talk about things directly, you see that you have forced Lord Ding to kneel in front of me in advance to apologize, he doesn't know what crime is, and he doesn't know how big the crime is, so you can tell me, what did you do?" ”

Shen Leng said: "The minister arrested Yao Chaozong, the director of the Ministry of Water, and interrogated Yao Chaozong to find out that Yao Chaozong had a large amount of silver of unknown origin, and put it in the treasury of the Ministry of Water of the Ministry of Industry. ”

The emperor looked at Ding Yao: "You continue to kneel." ”

Ding Yao: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Shen Leng said: "This case has nothing to do with Lord Ding, Lord Ding is in the cabinet most of the time, who would have thought that there is such a large amount of silver hidden in the treasury of the Ministry of Water Affairs." ”

Ding Yao raised his head and glanced at Shen Leng gratefully.

The emperor said: "Leave the case to the Tingwei Mansion." ”

Shen Leng was stunned: "Why?" ”

The emperor said: "This case was originally a matter of the Imperial Governor's Mansion, and I am very relieved and satisfied that you have made such a major discovery." ”

Shen Leng said: "Silver...... This silver was found by the minister, and the minister thought that it should be used for the naval battle in Eastern Xinjiang. ”

The emperor asked, "Didn't you rob it, did Han Zhaozhi arrive later?" ”

Shen Leng pouted: "The one who came faster than the rabbit, the minister only found the silver on the front foot, and he arrived on the back foot, and the minister had fewer people and more people, so he didn't rob it." ”

The emperor said: "It's all your fault for being careless and leaking the news, if you rob it, the silver will be used for your sailor, you haven't robbed it, the silver can only be used to rebuild the embankment of the Grand Canal." ”

Shen Leng: "Alas......"

The emperor said: "You don't seem convinced? ”

Shen Leng said: "The silver was found by the minister." ”

Emperor: "Whoever finds it is also mine, isn't it?" ”

Shen Leng: "This ...... Can it not? ”

He seemed a little indignant, leaned over and said, "The minister retreats." ”

The emperor waved his hand: "Go, I will let Han Zhaozhi come in and ask him in a while." ”

Shen Leng turned around and walked out of the Dongnuan Pavilion, but he didn't see any resentment, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, Chen Ran waited for Shen Leng to come out outside the Weiyang Palace, and was happy when he saw Shen Leng: "Did Your Majesty attribute that silver to the water master?" ”

"Nope."

Shen Leng said as he walked: "It will be used for disaster relief and reconstruction in southern Xinjiang." ”

Chen Ran was stunned: "Why, why didn't you fight with Your Majesty for the silver we found?" ”

Shen Leng said: "Don't argue, I wanted to use this silver for disaster relief and reconstruction instead of our war, the people of southern Xinjiang were affected by tens of millions of people, and the imperial court is now in urgent need of silver, you say, is it important for silver to save people or kill people?" I can solve the matter of the water master myself. ”

Shen sneered and said, "I went home, I deliberately let Nie Ye follow me, and I also deliberately asked Nie Ye to go back and report to Han Zhaozhi."

He shrugged his shoulders: "But I have to let His Majesty know, I care too." ”

East Warm Pavilion.

Lai Cheng leaned over and said, "An Guogong is really well-intentioned. ”

The emperor smiled: "I know, I can see it at a glance. ”

He got up and walked to the window, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Lai Cheng......"

"The minister is here."

"You go to the academy in the evening and talk to Shen Leng...... Tell him that I thank him for the people of southern Xinjiang. ”

On the way, Chen Ran looked at Shen and sneered: "The silver is gone, you are still so happy, it is not at all like your character of buckling the rope." ”

Shen Leng said: "I'm happy, I'm a happy little ......"

Chen Ran: "Forced." ”
