Shouzhou.
Qin Hui paced around the room, his face became more and more solemn, and he shook his head vigorously and said to himself, "That's not right." ”
At this time, Han Shizhong suddenly walked in and said, "Inspector, the other party has come to ask when we will release the people?" ”
Qin Hui stopped and said directly: "Sue them, you can't release people for a while, let them stay there honestly." ”
Han Shizhong frowned and said, "But they are just boatmen, since they have been found out, they should be released, why should they be locked up?" ”
Qin Hui still gave three points of courtesy to Han Shizhong, because along the way, Han Shizhong's expression of integrity made him admire, and patiently explained: "General Han, this matter is a matter of importance, and it cannot be said in a word, and besides, I am also confused now, so this person can't let go." ”
Han Shizhong saw that he didn't want to lie, and originally Qin Hui should go down to Jiangnan immediately after investigating this matter, but he was not in a hurry to leave, but stayed in Shouzhou, which shows that this matter is by no means so simple.
"Report!"
A sentry ran in.
Qin Hui hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is it?" ”
The sentry panted, shook his head, and said, "Lord Hui, there is no movement in the capital, and I have never heard anything about disaster relief food?" ”
"What?" Qin Hui was shocked and said, "Have you found out?" ”
The sentinel said: "The lowly post did not dare to conceal it, and the lowly post went to the Taishi Mansion and the Taiwei Mansion to inquire according to the instructions of the adults, but both the Taishi and the Taiwei said that they had not received any news from the economic envoy. ”
"Impossible, never."
Qin Hui shook his head violently and said: "Such a major matter, whether public or private, the adult will not hide it, even if the adult wants to conceal it, he will definitely investigate the matter thoroughly, then he must inform the Taishi or Taiwei." How can it be that so many RI have passed, and there is no news in the capital at all. ”
At this moment, two more people came in outside, and these two people were Ouyang Che and Chen Dong who had just arrived from Chuzhou.
"Chen Dong (Ouyang Che) has seen adults."
Qin Hui nodded and said, "You're back." How's going on in Chuzhou? ”
Chen Dongdao: "All arrangements have been made, as expected by adults, then Ye Nantian is a straw bag, spending all day and drinking, regardless of official affairs, it has always been handled by Chuzhou Tongju." Therefore, we will temporarily let the general judge replace the position of prefect, and I believe that there should be no problem. ”
"That's good."
Ouyang Che suddenly asked, "My lord, how is it in the northwest?" ”
Qin Hui shook his head and said, "It's not optimistic. ”
Chen Dong and Ouyang Che couldn't help but look at each other.
Qin Hui narrowed his eyes and said, "All indications show that this is a conspiracy. ”
"Huh?"
Ouyang Che said: "Then let's go to the northwest immediately to help the economy?" ”
Qin Hui waved his hand and said: "Since this is a conspiracy, if we break in rashly, it is very likely that we will also fall into it, we are very important to the adults now, because we are the most reliable foreign aid for the adults." So we should be ready to be ready to take on adults at any time. ”
Chen Dongdao: "Then my lord, do you mean to continue to be stationed in Shouzhou?" ”
Qin Hui nodded.
Chen Dong said again: "But what about Jiangnan?" ”
Qin Hui groaned slightly, and said: "You immediately send someone to let out the wind, and say that the patrol envoy went south to kill innocents indiscriminately and frame Zhongliang." disturbed the lives of the people, and when the court learned about it, it was particularly angry and sent someone to recall it for questioning. ”
Chen Dong was stunned. Then he said: "Xiaguan understands." ”
"Go ahead."
Linyou County.
When Zhao Jingyan held the letter, her expression was exactly the same as Li Qi's at that time, and she said in disbelief: "This-how is this possible." How so? The error of the grain transported from the Huainan granary was only within 5,000 stones? In other words, no one embezzled the disaster relief grain at all, so where did the 80,000 stone grain go? Shall the fish be eaten? ”
Li Qi rubbed his face and said, "I don't know, I'm confused now, and this matter is getting more and more complicated." ”
Zhao Jingyan frowned and said, "Do you think it could be Qin Hui he-?" ”
Li Qi raised his hand and said: "It is absolutely impossible, Qin Hui is a smart person, he knows very well that he has to rely on me now, and even his life, if I fall, do you think that the British Duke and Wang Hao will let him go, so he will definitely do his best to help me find out about this matter." ”
Zhao Jingyan nodded slightly, and said, "Could it be that he found out that he leaked it, or was this grain corrupted by officials in other places along the way?" ”
Li Qi shook his head and said: "I am very confident in Qin Hui's ability, and if you read the letter carefully, Qin Hui said that he had strictly inquired about the boatmen who had transported the grain one by one, and his move was to prevent the disaster relief grain from being embezzled by people on the road, because those boatmen have always followed the boat, and they are the ones who know the process best. ”
Zhao Jingyan frowned tightly and said: "But have you ever thought that after you sent the letter to the capital, and the food transported from the capital has not arrived, it means that someone is ambushing on the road, why the letter you sent to Jiangnan is safe and sound, and Qin Hui's letter is also sent back unharmed." ”
Li Qi said: "I also wonder about this, but when the letter came, I went to send someone to answer it, and besides, this letter is definitely not fake." ”
"What do you mean by being sure? There are many people in this world who can forge handwriting to confuse the real with the fake. ”
Li Qi sighed: "In fact, when Qin Hui went down to Jiangnan, I was worried that there would be accidents in the process of letter exchange, so I specially handed him some letter paper, these letter papers are specially made by my paper factory, the difference with ordinary paper is that this kind of paper is rougher, you will feel obvious graininess when you touch it, they can imitate Qin Hui's handwriting, but they can't even forge the paper in such a short time, so this letter is absolutely true." ”
Zhao Jingyan said: "If it is true, then didn't we think wrong from the beginning?" ”
"Now it seems that this is most likely a conspiracy." Li Qi said solemnly: "Qin Hui said in the letter that the grain was transferred to the land route when it arrived in Jingzhao Mansion, and Jingzhao Mansion was next to Fengxiang Mansion, that is to say, the grain may have been lost in Fengxiang Mansion. ”
Zhao Jingyan said: "It's as if the grain was lost in Fengxiang Mansion, so who did it?" ”
Li Qi said: "In Fengxiang Mansion, only Ji Minren and Zhe Yanzhi have this ability. ”
"And that group of mysterious people hidden in Fengxiang Mansion."
"But those people are just minions. The real mastermind could also be one of them. Li Qi said and sighed, and said: "Actually, when I started, I didn't fully trust them, but after these few investigations, I found that the local people all said that Ji Minren was a good official, who had been an official for more than ten years, honest and honest, and had outstanding political achievements, so he should not be the mastermind, besides." With such a large amount of grain, does he dare to swallow it alone as a prefect? He doesn't have the ability to do that. ”
"In this way, Orihiko is the most likely to xing?" Zhao Jingyan sighed lightly and said, "I didn't expect to check for a long time, and I returned to the original point." ”
Li Qi shook his head and said, "It seems that Zheyan is the most suspicious, but what is his starting point?" Why did he embezzle the relief food? If he wanted to rebel, then this little food was not enough, and when the food arrived, he would rebel. Why do you need to make such a show again, and distribute your own military rations to the people, isn't this a superfluous move and a contradiction? ”
Zhao Jingyan said: "No matter what. They are all suspicious, and now everyone in Fengxiang Mansion, you can't believe it, right. They haven't read it, have they? ”
"Of course I won't show them, I told them that there are some problems with the grain in Jiangnan due to the road conditions. So they arrived half a month late, and it dragged on for a while. Li Qi said helplessly.
Zhao Jingyan glanced at him and said in surprise: "It's rare to see you so depressed." ”
Li Qi said bitterly: "Can I not be depressed, since I entered Fengxiang Mansion, I have been led by the nose, when have you seen me so passive." Moreover, it is very likely that the grain transported from the capital has been robbed, Tian Qi's whereabouts are unknown, presumably there is a lot of bad luck, after I go back, how to explain to Tian Carpenter, to their parents, alas, this trip is really a big loss. ”
So he was worried about this? This person is really incomprehensible, sometimes he is very cold-blooded, and sometimes he is so affectionate. Zhao Jingyan said: "Don't worry about them now, the most dangerous thing now is you, you make a promise in front of so many people, if this life-saving food can't arrive, anything can happen, even if you want to leave now, I'm afraid you can't go." ”
Li Qi said: "I know this, but the matter has come to this point, it is useless to think too much, the only thing we can do is to find out the matter as much as possible." Moreover, I vaguely feel that these 80,000 stone grains are just a fog, and there may be a bigger conspiracy hidden in it. ”
Zhao Jingyan nodded, and suddenly said, "We seem to have missed something?" The letter you sent to Qin Hui and the letter to the Taishi are less than a mile apart, why was the capital robbed but not Qin Hui. This shows that the enemy is most concerned about the capital, and at that time I didn't expect that your first letter was sent to Jiangnan, and you were 800 miles in an emergency, and they couldn't catch up if they wanted to. We used to think that some people in the DPRK and China were worried that the news would leak into the capital, so they stopped the letter on the way, but now it seems that it is not the people in the capital who did it, otherwise, they don't have to wait until the grain is sent to Jingzhao Mansion before doing it, isn't this a superfluous move, and suddenly there is a shortage of 80,000 stone in a certain place, which is also too obvious, it is easy to be found, and there have been many cases of embezzlement of disaster relief food in the past, but it is not done by one person, but it was taken away by people little by little along the way, which is unreasonable. ”
Li Qi's eyes widened, and said: "If it wasn't done by the people in the court, then the other party shouldn't be so nervous that my letter would be sent to the capital, because my letter only explained that someone embezzled disaster relief food, even if my letter was sent to the capital, then the emperor would be furious at most, and in the end it would only let me step up the investigation, no different from now, it doesn't matter whether the letter arrives in the capital or not, the other party does not hesitate to expose the target, even Gao Taiwei's people and the disaster relief food sent this time will not let go, what are they doing to cover up?" ”
Zhao Jingyan said: "Moreover, you will return to the capital sooner or later, and it will be exposed at that time, unless the other party does not plan to let you go, then the matter will undoubtedly be even bigger, the emperor will see that you have not returned for a long time, and there is no news, he will definitely think that the Zhejia army has rebelled, and he will immediately send a large army to come, which is more strict than corruption." ”
Li Qi said: "The key to this matter has always not been the 80,000 stone army rations, but whether the Zhejia army is against or not, if the Zhejia army is really reversed, who will benefit the most?" ”
"Western Xia."
The two spoke in unison.
As soon as the words fell, the two of them only felt their hairs stand on end, if it was really as they imagined, the situation was far more serious than now.
Zhao Jingyan frowned and said: "But what is the explanation of the letter you sent to the capital, if your letter is delivered to the capital, then the attention of the imperial court will be shifted from the Zhejia army to the embezzlement of disaster relief food, isn't this a good thing for them?" ”
Li Qi shook his head and said, "No." There is also a hidden content in the letter. ”
"Impossible, the letter was written by me, it was full of about the 80,000 stone military rations, and the people involved were all members of the DPRK and the Central Committee, and nothing else was mentioned." After Zhao Jingyan finished speaking, her eyes suddenly widened, and she said, "No, there may be one more thing revealed in the letter." ”
