Chapter 464: The Granary Fraud Case

Hearing this, Zhang Yunwen's heart suddenly burst, could it be that this Yang Xu is still in any danger? But he said calmly: "Oh, are you in some trouble here?" ”

Yang Xuan said with a bitter face: "My lord, this is not such a trouble, it is simply a great danger!" If you don't save me, then the next official will be doomed! ”

Zhang Yunwen heard what Yang Xu said seriously, and hurriedly asked the reason for the matter. This Yang Xudao: "The lower official originally sent a document to the adult to report the matter after two days, but now that the adult has come to Luokoucang, the lower official can make it clear in person, so it will be better!" Come, sir, please move to the cellar area! ”

As he spoke, he made a "please" gesture.

Zhang Yunwen stood up and also made a "please" gesture.

Out of the Luokou warehouse, walk to the grain cellar area.

The grain storage warehouse area is located to the north of the government office. The whole reservoir area is square, nearly one and a half miles long, one mile wide, and surrounded on all sides by a wall as high as two sheets. There are only two gates in the entire reservoir area, the south gate and the north gate. The south gate faces the government, and the north gate faces the Yellow River. Outside the north gate, another smooth road leads to the Yellow River wharf. Whenever it was necessary to transport grain, it was taken out of the warehouse, transported to the wharf by ox cart, and transported by boat.

There are now 100 grain men in the reservoir area, led by a school captain, who is responsible for the safety of the reservoir area. The establishment of this grain belongs to the local government soldiers. These 100 soldiers were selected from the soldiers of Gongxian County, and these grain soldiers were stationed in this Luokou warehouse, receiving monthly salaries, and they were not allowed to go home when they were busy with farming. It's also somewhat similar to recruitment.

The responsibility of the grain is mainly to protect the safety of the granary, and the warehouse commander has the responsibility of supervising the grain and has no right to transfer troops. In other words, this Yang Xu can report what violations of law and discipline this captain has, whether it is the county order of Gongxian County, the Yin of Luoyang Mansion, or directly report on Chang'an, but he can't mobilize the captain's soldiers and horses. Although this grain was selected from the local government soldiers, it was not subject to the control of the local government soldiers, but was directly controlled by the Luoyang government soldiers.

When I came to the south gate of the reservoir area, I saw that the south gate had been repaired to a considerable scale. A black wooden gate nearly a foot high stood in front of him, and on the wooden gate, on the wall of the later generations, the battlements were arranged, and a famous soldier could be seen patrolling the city.

This circle of walls, except for the thick city wall at the two gates, built with two layers, the rest of the place has only one layer of wall, with the green layer of the wall, between the bricks with glutinous rice juice mixed with mud to fix, firm and abnormal.

Seeing Yang Xu, Zhang Yunwen and others coming quickly, the soldier standing at the head of the wall shouted: "Stop coming!" ”

Hearing this roar, Yang Xu didn't stop, continued to walk two steps, and shouted at the wall: "This warehouse order comes to inspect the warehouse, you wait to open the door as soon as possible!" ”

Who knew that the soldier listened to it, but he said lukewarmly: "The warehouse order is to inspect the warehouse, and the villain was supposed to enlarge the person to enter the door, but Wang Xiao has already ordered that if you want to enter the warehouse, you must have his warrant before you can ......."

"Bastard!" Yang Xuan didn't wait for the soldier to finish speaking, and suddenly shouted, "I am the order of the Luokou Cangcang ordered by His Majesty, and it is the duty of the official to enter the reservoir area for inspection, and your little soldier dares to stop it, aren't you afraid of the king's law?" ”

When the soldier heard this, he said neither softly nor hardly: "The villain is just a little soldier, and he only obeys the orders of the captain." I put it in the storage area when I saw the warrant, and there was no warrant, so please go back to Lord Cangling! ”

Yang Xuan turned his head and glanced at Zhang Yunwen helplessly.

Zhang Yunwen could hear the conversation between the soldier and Yang Xu, and only then did he know that the matter of Luokoucang was really not a trivial matter. A small lieutenant dared to be so arrogant and domineering, and he didn't even pay attention to the newly arrived canny order.

Xiang Yang Xu shook his head and turned to leave.

Back at the mansion, Yang Xuzhi opened his way and led Zhang Yunwen into the backyard, and said with anger on his face: "My lord, you also saw it just now, the lower official is the Luokou Cangcang Order, and he is still so blocked from entering the reservoir area, you can imagine how arrogant and domineering this Wang Xiaowei is in Luokou!" ”

Zhang Yunwen glanced at Yang Xu and asked, "Then have you entered the warehouse cellar and seen it?" ”

Yang Xu nodded: "When I first arrived at Luokoucang, Captain Wang opened the south gate and welcomed me into the reservoir area for inspection. Xiaguan walked around the reservoir area for a long time and found that the grain package villages in the reservoir area were quite good, and the sun was very dry. And the amount is also sufficient. But when he returned to the palace, the lower officials checked the accounts of the past years and found that there was actually a problem with the accounts! ”

Zhang Yunwen let out an "oh", and his heart fluttered: "What's the problem?" ”

Yang Xu glanced around, as if he was afraid that someone would eavesdrop, and then leaned into Zhang Yunwen's ear and said softly: "I'm afraid adults don't know, every winter, the climate is cold, and the grain that is accumulated under the warehouse is easy to become moldy, so every year in spring, the moldy grain will always be taken out and sold to the army or grain merchants as food for livestock." The lower officials found that there was a big problem with the records of moldy grain on the accounts. Xia Guan suspected that someone took advantage of the opportunity to sell the moldy grain and sold the best grain in the warehouse as moldy grain! ”

After hearing this, Zhang Yunwen's face changed, and he said softly: "Yang Cangling, this matter has to be evidenced, if it is based on the numbers on the account, I am afraid it will be difficult to convict!" ”

Yang Xuan gritted his teeth and said: "My lord, the lower officials dare to guarantee with their lives, there is indeed a huge problem in this Luokoucang!" Xia Guan has definite evidence! ”

When Zhang Yunwen was about to say something, he only heard a voice from outside: "Lord Cangling, Captain Wang is asking to see you outside!" ”

Yang Xuan snorted coldly, and said to Zhang Yunwen in a suppressed voice: "This Captain Wang must have heard that the adults were coming to Luokoucang, so he rushed back from the town!" Usually, this surnamed Wang has been staying in the town's music hall to have fun! ”

Zhang Yunwen smiled lightly: "Since someone is here, then invite him in, don't be rude!" ”

Yang Xu shouted to the outside of the door: "Why don't you invite Captain Wang to come in!" ”

A moment later, a slender figure appeared in the doorway. The visitor was dressed in a blue satin shirt, wearing a high crown, a thin figure, his eyes were sunk into his sockets, and his face was tired. This appearance does not look like a school captain, but rather like a prostitute who has been hanging around for too long and his body has been hollowed out.

"The last general, Wang Yue, see the Duke of the Kingdom!" As soon as Wang Yue entered the door, after seeing Zhang Yunwen, he took two quick steps, came to Zhang Yunwen, and saluted with his fists.

Zhang Yunwen smiled: "Captain Wang doesn't have to be polite!" Come on, please be seated! ”

After Captain Wang sat down, Zhang Yunwen said with a smile: "Captain Wang is really strict in governing the army, without Captain Wang's warrant, even Yang Cang's order is not allowed to enter the reservoir area!" ”

That Wang Yue's face was embarrassed, and he laughed twice: "Eh, that is the meaning of the people below that there is no general, and the general means that this reservoir area is an important land, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter, unless they have the warrant of the general!" The soldier thought that everyone needed to get the warrant of the last general to enter the reservoir area, so there was a misunderstanding with Yang Cangling! ”

"Oh, I see!" Zhang Yunwen nodded a little abruptly, and just when Wang Yue felt that his words were passing, he heard Zhang Yunwen ask again, "But Captain Wang, as the head of this Luokou warehouse, why don't you stay in the reservoir area?" When Benguan and Yang Cangling arrived at the south gate just now, they didn't see you, Captain Wang! ”

That Wang Yue said with a look of grievance at the moment: "At that time, the last general was resting in the reservoir area, and I heard that the soldiers came to report, saying that the lord and Yang Cang had arrived, and the last general came out immediately, but he didn't see a figure, so he chased to the mansion!" ”

Zhang Yunwen continued to nod: "That official misunderstood Captain Wang!" ”

That Yang Xuan heard the conversation between Zhang Yunwen and that Wang Yue, and a secret sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After doing it here for a while, there was a pair of people talking, and finally, Wang Yue said: "Lord Guogong, it's not too early now, why don't you move to Luokou Town to eat?" Guogong knows that this Luokou is the confluence of Luoshui and the river, rich in delicious Yellow River fish, carefully cooked, the taste of the Yellow River fish is indescribable! ”

Zhang Yunwen laughed: "Listening to Captain Wang talk about this, this official is really a little hungry!" Okay, this official will go and taste what this big fish of the Yellow River tastes like! ”
