Chapter 100: A Thorough Investigation
"Here! There's a cave here! ”
After a while, Han Xiao saw the shouting of a brocade-clothed guard on the mountainside on the north side.
Hearing this, Han Xiao chuckled lightly and said to the captain of the Dingxiang Military Academy: "I think the material is in that cave, and the general will go with this officer?" ”
"Han Qianhu, please!" The Dingxiang military captain made a gesture of invitation, and walked towards the halfway up the mountain with Han Xiao.
Halfway up the mountain, it is overgrown with weeds, and if you don't search carefully, you won't be able to find a cave here.
What's more, it's still on the big night?
When he came to the side of the cave, Han Xiao ordered someone to eradicate the weeds at the entrance of the cave, and then entered the cave with Captain Dingxiang.
Although the entrance of the cave is small, there is a cave inside.
As soon as he entered the cave, both Captain Dingxiang and Han Xiao himself were stunned by the scene in front of them.
As far as the eye could see, there were mountains of grain and grass inside, and there were countless swords, guns, arrows and armor.
Even, Han Xiao found dozens of barrels of gunpowder in a shady corner.
Seeing this, Han Xiao hurriedly ordered his subordinates holding torches behind him to take dozens of steps back before he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Obediently, so much grain and grass, I'm afraid it's enough for hundreds of thousands of troops to chew for a year!" Looking at the grain and grass in front of him, the eyes of the Dingxiang military captain couldn't take his eyes off it.
"If this official is not mistaken, these grains and grass are enough to feed a million army for a year!" This is, Han Xiao walked over and said with a smile after hearing the captain's words.
"General, let's go out and rest first, and let our brothers count the number of grain, grass, and armor here."
With that, Han Xiao led the captain out of the cave.
When the sky was bright, Han Xiao's Jinyi Wei finished counting the grain, grass and ordnance in the cave.
"Lord Qiqi Qianhu, the brothers counted overnight, and the materials have been counted. There were millions of stones of grain and grass, 200,000 knives and guns, 500,000 arrows, 10,000 pairs of armor, and 100 barrels of gunpowder! ”
Hearing this, Han Xiao couldn't help but gasp.
The Dingxiang military captain next to him was even more surprised, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, "What does this HSBC ticket number want to do with so many materials?" Could it be that they want to rebel or not? ”
Han Xiao was silent, and then after a long time, he ordered one of the Jinyi guards under his hand: "Immediately fly the pigeon to the capital, tell the Holy Lord about the situation here, and wait for the next order!" ”
"Yes, Senho-sama!"
……
In the Heart Cultivation Palace, Zhang Lingyang looked at the letter from Han Xiaofeige, and trembled with anger, "How dare you?" How dare an HSBC ticket number be so bold? Did they eat the bear's heart and leopard gall, or did they have wolf ambitions for a long time?
Just one HSBC ticket number dares to act like this, and it is not much better to think of other ticket numbers?
Originally, I thought that I had to take my time against these ticket numbers, but it seems that taking it slow will not work. God knows if in another three or five years, how many grains, grasses, and armor will be sold to Warat?
Warat already has as many as 500,000 people who control the strings, and if he gets these grains, grasses, and armor, he is afraid that his ambitions will expand day by day, and then he will attack my Great Zhou on a large scale.
What's more, these ticket numbers are so unscrupulous, if they can't be severely punished, I am afraid that they will be even more unscrupulous.
Therefore, I want to thoroughly check all the ticket numbers in Jinzhong! ”
In the hall, whether it was Sun Sheng or Feng Xi, the atmosphere did not dare to breathe, and they lowered their heads one by one, not knowing what they were thinking.
After a long time, Zhang Lingyang breathed a sigh of relief and asked Sun Sheng: "Sun Sheng, how long has it been since Hu Hongliang, the governor of Jinzhong, and the chief soldier and horse chief of Yanmen have been in the city?" ”
Sun Sheng replied: "Long live the lord, Hu Hongliang and Ma Shanchang have been in Beijing for more than ten days. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Lingyang nodded, then looked at Feng Xi and said, "Feng Xi, you immediately go to arrest Hu Hongliang and Ma Shanchang, and put them in Jinyi Wei Prison."
Also, immediately 800 li urgently summoned Sun Dingzong, the general soldier of Xiang, and ordered him to go to Yanmen Pass, take care of all the border troops there, and guard the gate tightly.
Then Feige sent a letter to Han Xiao, saying that he would be immediately promoted to the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and within three months, he had the right to mobilize the officers and troops anywhere in Jinzhong, so that he could thoroughly investigate all the ticket numbers in Jinzhong, and if he encountered obstruction or resistance, no matter how big or small the officials, they would be killed! ”
"Yes, the minion obeys!" After receiving the holy order, Feng Xi hurriedly walked out of the Heart Cultivation Hall before he breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now, the atmosphere in the Heart Cultivation Hall is too depressing.
At this time, in the Heart Cultivation Palace, Zhang Lingyang was pacing back and forth, not knowing what he was thinking.
And Sun Sheng was even more depressed by the tense atmosphere to the point that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
After a long time, Sun Sheng remembered Zhang Lingyang's words in his ears, "Sun Sheng, you go to Ningguo Mansion immediately, and Sun Ding'an, the Duke of Xuanning, will enter the palace to meet you!" ”
"Remember, don't leak the news about this matter, before the dust settles, even Zhang Zhiyuan can't tell it!"
"Slaves obey!"
Ningguo Gongsun Ding'an is already in the age of sixties, and he was originally at the age of retirement.
In fact, in addition to military affairs, Sun Dingan rarely interfered in the affairs of the court, let alone competed with Zhang Zhiyuan for power.
Now, seeing the arrival of the eunuch Sun Sheng, the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, and his face was anxious, Zhang Zhiyuan knew that there was an earth-shattering event in the court that was about to happen.
Therefore, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed Sun Sheng into the palace.
"Ning Guogong, let's take a look!" Sun Dingan entered the Heart Cultivation Palace, and just as he was about to salute, he was helped up by Zhang Lingyang.
Then, Zhang Lingyang handed the secret letter on the desk to Sun Ding'an.
Sun Dingan saw that Zhang Lingyang's face was very ugly, and he opened the secret letter in confusion.
This is not too important, Sun Dingan immediately took the case and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister requests a thorough investigation of all ticket numbers in Jinzhong!" ”
"I have this intention, and I have ordered the newly appointed commander of the Jinyi Guard to make Han Xiao thoroughly check all the ticket numbers in Jinzhong, and I have given Sun Dingzong, the general soldier of Xiang, 800 miles to his home, and ordered him to control Yanmen Pass.
Now, Hu Hongliang, the governor of Jinzhong, and the chief soldier and horse of Yanmen have entered Beijing, and the dragons in Jinzhong have no leader, so there is nothing to worry about.
What I am worried about is that many nobles and ministers in Beijing have close contacts with Jinzhong ticket numbers.
I'm worried that if the news leaks out, these people will jump off the wall in a hurry.
Therefore, I want to let Ning Guogong supervise Jingying, and not give these people a chance. ”
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, as long as there is an old minister, I don't think I will let those bastards succeed!" Sun Dingan is also a violent temper, he didn't seem to be before, but now he is angry and full of swearing.
Hearing this, Zhang Lingyang nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Then it's annoying Ning Guogong!" ”
