"Lord Weng, the Holy Decree summons Meng Yan of the Hundred Households of Jinyi Wei to enter the palace to meet you!"

"What?"

A trace of panic flashed in Wang Zhen's eyes, how many years of ups and downs in the palace, that is, when the old Empress Dowager Zhang was alive, he almost cut off his head, and he came over safely.

"The Holy Lord is really interested in this Meng Yan, how can this be good?" Wang Zhen's heart was in turmoil.

"Wang Shan, everything related to Jinyiwei and Meng Yan, if you are good at making claims, don't blame your uncle for not talking about family affection!" Before leaving, Wang Zhen sternly warned Wang Shandao.

"Yes, uncle, I promise not to be good at making claims!"

"Let's go, go back to the palace!"

Lumicang Hutong, Jinyi Wei Zhonghou.

The fire has been burning for nearly an hour, and the smoke is billowing out, but fortunately this is not a densely populated area, otherwise, the fire would have burned a large area by the wind!

Zhu Ji, a thousand households in the newly promoted Zhonghou Institute, is leading his subordinates to run around to fight fires, and the surrounding people also come over with their own buckets to participate in the firefighting!

Water and fire are ruthless, people are affectionate, not to mention that once the fire gets out of control, it will inevitably affect the pond fish, and they will not be better!

The scene was a mess and full of people!

When Guo Nu and Lao Da rushed over to support with the brocade guards of the South and North Ya, the fire had already been brought under control to a certain extent!

The main thing is that the fire was lit before dawn, and if it had been in the middle of the night, it would have been different.

"Quick, put out the fire!"

"Xiaochen, you go too!" Guo Nu said to Fu Xiaochen.

"Yes!"

Although the fire was controlled by everyone, it was dry due to the dry weather. I borrowed a few more wind rebounds, and almost burned again!

It took more than two hours to save the danger before the danger was removed.

However, because most of the houses are made of wood, the burning is violent, and it is difficult to extinguish it repeatedly.

The Jinyi Guard Middle and Rear Office was almost all burned down, and several warehouses were also burned down by the way. There is the old Taicang. There is a shipping warehouse in the north, and there is a new Taicang in the west of the shipping warehouse.

The fire prevention facilities here are complete, the people's awareness is relatively strong, and the water source is relatively close. Easy access to water. Otherwise. The consequences are unimaginable.

"My lord, there is news from the palace that the Holy Upload has summoned Lord Meng to the palace for an audience!"

"What?"

"Sir. It was the Holy Messenger who summoned Lord Xiao Meng to the palace for an audience. Lao Da heard it more clearly and repeated it.

"Call him at this time, what is the matter?"

"I didn't say it, the people in the palace didn't know where Master Meng was, so they came all the way!" The lieutenant said.

"Lao Da, you lead the people in the palace to the south to work as a craftsman, and let Meng Yan enter the palace."

"Yes, sir, what are you doing here?"

"I'm fine, you go quickly, you can't keep the saint waiting for a long time." Guo Nu commanded.

"Yes." Lao Da agreed, and got in the car with a little father-in-law from the palace and left.

"Master Guo, why are you here?" Zhu Ji came to Guo Nu with a black face and asked in surprise.

"Why can't I come, you are on duty on the first day today, I was going to send you in person, but I didn't expect this to be the case."

"Shame on the mark!"

"Is it a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, tell me about your basic judgment?" Guo Nu asked.

"Judging from the fire, this is absolutely man-made, this is a deliberate arson case, and its purpose is to destroy the account books of the Zhonghou Institute in the past few years!"

"Where's the books?" Guo Nu asked.

"It's all burned, and when I was fighting the fire, I asked about the smell of tung oil, such an obvious suspicion of arson, and I felt that it had to be thoroughly investigated." Zhu Ji said.

"What do you think should be done?"

"Jinyi Wei Zhonghou is definitely not an ordinary person can enter and exit at will, and the mark believes that the second case must be committed by internal thieves!" Zhu Ji was extremely sure.

"Thief, can you find out?"

"My lord will give three days to mark it, and within three days, I will definitely find out this thief!" Zhu Ji said.

"Do you dare to make this military order?" Guo Nu stared at Zhu Ji and asked.

"Dare!"

"Okay, the official will give you three days, if you can't dig out this thief within three days, what?"

"Let the adults dispose of it!" Zhu Ji said loudly.

"Okay, Zhu Ji listens to the order!"

"Mark it in!"

"This official will now appoint you as the acting manager of the Zhonghou Institute, responsible for investigating the case of Jinyiwei Zhonghou's water and the reconstruction of the Zhonghou Institute!" Guo Nu ordered.

"Mark and command!"

"Go ahead, if you are involved in the corruption of the middle and later generations, you have the right to cut it first and then play it!" Guo said angrily.

"Thank you, sir!"

Zhu Ji generously accepted the order and left.

"My lord, the fire has been brought under control, and the damage is still being counted." Fu Xiaochen walked over with a black face.

"Don't count it, leave these things to Zhu Ji." Guo angrily waved his hand.

"My lord, the middle and back offices are where our Jinyiwei money and food are, such a fire, will the Jinyiwei brothers be sad this year?" Fu Xiaochen was surprised.

"Do you know who I went to see this morning?"

"Who do you see, and how do you know when you mark it?"

"Wang Zhen!"

"He told me that he would make up for Cao Bao's deficit on the condition that we let Cao Bao go." Guo said angrily, "Guess what I said? ”

"What did you say?" Fu Xiaochen asked curiously.

"I promised Wang Zhen."

"Your Excellency is for the livelihood of more than 16,000 of my brothers in Jinyiwei!" Fu Xiaochen will be there soon.

"It's not all, in fact, it's not worth fighting with Wang Zhen for this matter, not to mention that the saint's favor for Wang Zhen has not been lost, if I have to divide the winner, the person who wins in the end must not be me." Guo said angrily, "Of course, if I fight with Wang Zhen, the brothers will have a hard time this year, and I can't come up with such a large amount of money to make up for the deficit of the Middle School." ”

"My lord has been as honest as water these years, but Ma Shun and those people are delicacies of the mountains and seas every day, and the money collected by Beiya every year from the major shops in the capital, guess how much?"

"How much?"

"That's the number!" Fu Xiaochen raised three fingers and said.

"Three hundred thousand?" Guo Nu was a little surprised. That's more than half of what he estimated.

"The 100 households in Beiya can get 300 taels of money a year, and a small wrestler also has additional subsidies every month, two taels when it is less, and four or five taels when it is more!" Fu Xiaochen said.

"Do you still collect money?"

"I don't want to accept it, but people are in a hurry to pay the money, and if they don't pay, they don't feel at ease, and some are more than 30% more than usual." Fu Xiaochen said.

"It's a problem, and we have to find a way to solve it." Guo said angrily.

"As long as we can find a way to make money, we naturally don't have to collect this money from merchants."

"Thirty thousand taels a Chinese New Year's Eve, this is not a small business. What kind of business can make 300,000 taels of silver a year? ”

"You don't need so many adults. As long as 200,000 taels is enough, we don't need to learn from Ma Shun and them, we have to hand over one-third of the profits to the celebrant supervisor! Fu Xiaochen said.

"Does Ma Shun have to hand over money to the celebrant every year?"

"Yes, at least 100,000 taels a year!"

"Whistling. A task for you. Find out that this 100,000 taels of silver was used by the celebrant and the celebrant. It's still for the inner court! ”

"Adult's consciousness, these 100,000 taels are for ......" Fu Xiaochen stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky.

Guo Nu nodded.

"Got it!" Fu Xiaochen solemnly took over this task.

"Now that you have taken someone to copy Cao Bao's house, you can copy as much as you can!" Guo said angrily.

"Yes!" Fu Xiaochen nodded.

"Uncle Xiang. Send me back to Nanya! ”

"Yes!"

Nanyajiang is a warehouse.

"The Holy One wants to see me, now?" Meng Yan was surprised, what was the emperor looking for himself to do at this time?

There was no sign at all.

"Yes, Lord Meng, the saint went out of the palace early in the morning to find you, the villain doesn't know where you live, and ran a lot of wrongful roads, fortunately, it was Guo Commander who sent someone to bring me here, otherwise I don't even know where the Jinyi Guard Craftsman is.

"Father-in-law has worked hard, Tang Xiao!"

"Father-in-law, the adults in our family have been recuperating here recently, and they haven't come home, what about you, take care of it, it's a little bit of a little meaning, drink tea, drink tea!" Tang Xiao stepped forward enthusiastically to hold the little father-in-law's hand, and a silver ingot slid down the sleeve.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, just don't let the saint wait for a long time, right?"

"Okay, this official will enter the palace with his father-in-law, Tang Xiao, I'll leave it to you here, I'll go back when I go." As soon as Meng Yan explained, the father-in-law hurriedly left the craftsman division and went straight to the palace.

"Oops!" Lao Da suddenly remembered that Meng Yan had mentioned to him that the account books of the Jinyi Guard's Middle School had already been secretly transported out by him!

Now the house where the middle and queen walks is the place where the account books are kept, and he hasn't come to remember to sue Guo Nu!

Lao Da returned the same way, and when he arrived at the Zhonghou Institute, he was told that Guo Nu had returned to Nanya.

Lao Da had no choice but to drive to Nanya again.

The account books of the Zhonghou Institute were burned, and several warehouses where rice was stored were also burned, if Wang Zhen made up for the shortfall, then Guo Nu was not worried, but now the Zhonghou Institute was burned, the account books were gone, and the grain was gone.

Seeing that the New Year is approaching, how can you give more than 10,000 brocade guards in the capital to send Lu rice? There is no food, and these brocade guards are not rebellious?

The position of the commander of the Jinyi guard is not easy to do, when Ma Shun was in power, he was abducted and cheated, naturally there was no shortage of silver, but in his hands, he couldn't do this, even if some black sheep were eliminated, but the shit left by the predecessors had to be wiped by him, the successor.

Caught Ma Shun and raided Ma Shun's house, he thought about it, but he couldn't do what he wanted like this, even the emperor couldn't do it.

If he can't catch the evidence of Cao Bao's corruption and deficit, will Wang Zhen still admit it?

Of course, if the matter is stabbed in front of the emperor, Wang Zhen still has some scruples, the question is, how to fight this imperial lawsuit?

In the final analysis, it is still who pays for this money, whether it is to rebuild the Zhonghou Institute or to make up for the huge deficit.

"Master, I'm back!"

"Lao Da, have you seen Meng Yan?" Guo Nuyi raised his head and asked.

"I saw it, Lord Xiao Meng has already entered the palace with the little father-in-law who came to deliver the decree." Lao Da reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"You sweating profusely, I don't have anything urgent for you to do?"

"Master, there's one thing I didn't tell you!"

"What?"

"All the account books of the Jinyi Guard Middle School are in the hands of Lord Xiao Meng!" Lao Da whispered.

"What?" Guo Nu was so shocked that he almost folded the brush in his hand.

"Lord Xiao Meng is an unpredictable prophet, and he has long known that someone may attack the account books, so he quietly moved the account books of the Zhonghou Institute out and got some empty account books in them." Lao Da explained.

"Lao Da, why didn't you say it earlier?"

"If the master hadn't asked me to accompany the little father-in-law to the Nanyajiang Division, Lao Da would have told the master a long time ago!"

"You, you should have sued me a long time ago!" Guo Nu angrily pointed at Lao Da and said. (To be continued......)
