"How's that okay?"

"Xianyun, don't worry, it's good that Xiao Nan can wake up, as for your senior brother's case, don't worry about handing it over to adults, you don't know the ability of adults yet, even if the murderer can fly away, adults can find him out.

My sister-in-law came to you in the middle of the night, so you went to comfort and comfort your sister-in-law first. I'll leave it to me here. ”

Under the persuasion of the jackal, Xianyun slowly calmed down. Juan'er came in the middle of the night, still carrying her bags, as long as she wasn't stupid, she knew that Juan'er had run away from home and eloped with herself.

How could Xianyun not be moved? nodded silently, patted the jackal's shoulder lightly, and turned to leave.

"We have investigated and found out that since last year, the main business scope of Shiwei Tianliang has been five prefectures, including Bai Ze Mansion, Xi Chu Mansion, and Kangjia Mansion, but the amount of grain they have collected from the people is not large. Because they are separated from the grain industry they are affiliated with, they can only raise prices to collect retail investors.

And the strange thing is, if the ledger is correct, then where would such a large amount of grain be located? We have searched all the grain depots for the day, even the warehouses that share the rent, but we have not found the food for the day grain storage. ”

Listening to Sun You's return, Lu Sheng's brows tightened.

"Collecting so much grain should be used to sell, has it been checked at the checkpoint out of Chuzhou?

"No! This ledger is like a complete fiction. There is not the slightest trace of the source of the grain, there is not the slightest trace of the shipment, and even the existence of such a huge amount of grain has not been determined.

My lord, could it be that this ledger itself is a fool? This can explain why Shi Weitian lost the ledger but was not nervous at all, and did not even report the loss?"

The hypothesis put forward by Sun You is indeed possible, after all, there is no evidence to prove that the killing of Qi Shicheng and his shopkeeper is related to this ledger. Including Haoyue's killing, there is no evidence to prove that it must be related to this.

If you want to change someone else, you may subconsciously deny the authenticity of the ledger when you investigate this step. However, the problem of food is too serious, this belongs to the country's strategic materials, and Lu Sheng definitely does not dare to take it lightly.

"In this way, leave the matter of investigating the murderer to the spider, you and I will go to the granaries of Xichu Mansion and other prefectures to check the storage of the granaries. ”

"There's no need for this, is it? The imperial court's inspector has just checked ......."

"He is routine, if someone deliberately conceals it, it is very likely that there will be omissions, so it is more reassuring for us to go and see it in person. I'll go out now, and I'll feel more at ease after confirming. ”

Under the golden sunset, Lu Sheng and his entourage rushed to Bai Ze Mansion. Bai Ze Mansion is located in the southwest corner of the Chuzhou Plain, and is also a famous grain-producing mansion in Chuzhou by the radiation of the Chuzhou Plain.

Lu Sheng didn't inform anyone, and went straight to Bai Ze Mansion and then went straight to the granary of Bai Ze Mansion. Under the warm sunset, the guard of the granary slowly stood up and gently pushed the wooden door.

"Don't move, open the door!" A loud shout exploded like the thunder of a tiger and a leopard, and the official who pushed the door trembled. Raising his head, facing the sunset, he saw several fiery red figures running wildly with the sunset on their backs.

The idea of "red, who ...... it" had just crossed his mind, and the oncoming war horse had already come to him, and everyone pulled the reins of the horse in unison, and the war horse stopped in unison and raised its front hooves.

By the time the official really saw the appearance of the visitor, the other party had already dropped their horses in unison.

"Someone from the head town of Xuantianfu in Anqing, open the door!"

"Xuantian Mansion?" The old servant didn't dare to delay at all, and hurriedly pushed open the door, "Your Excellency, please...... Adults, please ......"

When you open the door, you will see a vast granary like stars. Sure enough, as the granary officials of Anqing Mansion said, the number of granaries in the grain-producing mansion is dozens of times as much as theirs.

Countless granaries are displayed one by one, like an army of 100,000. Lu Sheng waved his hand gently, and Xuan Tianwei's figure flashed, and he rushed into the granary. Looking at such a dense granary, Xuan Tianwei's footsteps were a little hesitant.

"My lord, do you have to check it out?"

"Check it all. Lu Sheng originally planned to conduct spot checks, but looking at such a huge granary in front of him, compared to the number on the ledger, if the grain came from this granary, there might be one-third. Compared with tens of thousands of granaries, the possibility of missing spot checks is very large.

After getting Lu Sheng's answer, a group of Xuan Tianwei immediately began to monitor. Lu Sheng looked at the dense granary and felt that it was enough to check it all, so he took out a signal rod and sent a signal to the sky.

A cloud-piercing arrow, the Xuantianwei of Bai Ze Mansion will arrive at the first time.

After waiting for about half an hour, Xuan Tianwei came one after another. When they saw that it was Lu Sheng, they came to see each other excitedly.

"Your Excellency!"

"Go and inspect the granaries at once, and check them all to see if they are full. Immediately, Lu Sheng suddenly thought of the suspended warehouse he had seen in the TV series in his previous life and immediately reminded, "Remember to insert it with a knife to see if there is a hidden grid below." ”

After another hour or so, more than a dozen carriages hurried in. Lu Sheng frowned, his eyes staring at the approaching carriage.

The carriage arrived, and from the carriage came officials in red robes and stumbled down.

"Hao Jianming, the head of the grain road of Xiaguan Bai Ze Mansion, see Lord Lu. Lord Lu, what are you doing when you suddenly come to the granary?"

"It's okay, it's okay!" Lu Sheng smiled faintly, "The supervision envoy came down to investigate the collection of imperial grain, and he couldn't be busy for a while, so this official assisted the supervision envoy to come over and review it." ”

"This ......" Hao Jianming's face suddenly showed a look of panic, "My lord, the granary of Bai Ze Mansion...... The Inspector just checked it a few days ago. Are you in the wrong place?"

"Wrong?" Lu Sheng was dazed, but looking at the wonderful expressions on the faces of these people in front of him, he felt that he had not made a mistake.

If there are no ghosts in the bottom of your heart, what are you doing running around one by one?

"My lord, there is a situation!" Suddenly, a voice came and interrupted Lu Sheng to argue with them. Lu Sheng's figure flashed, and he came to the side of the Xuan Tianwei in an instant.

"Look, my lord!" the Xuan Tianwei drew his war knife and thrust it through the mouth of the granary, the knife had not yet reached the end, but it had already stabbed to the bottom.

There was a muffled sound, which made the officials who came after tremble.

"It should have been a stone, it's a stone...... Hao Jianming's face turned pale, he took out a handkerchief tremblingly, and wiped the sweat on his forehead tremblingly.

"You come down!" Lu Sheng's face was gloomy and he let the Xuantianwei come down, and the most worrying thing still happened.

A sword light flashed away, and with a slight kick from Lu Sheng, half of the granary burst open in an instant. What remains in situ is a complete, hollow sectional granary.

Sure enough, it was a suspended warehouse, and the huge warehouse of the granary was empty, and a partition was built at the mouth of the granary. The so-called full warehouse turned out to be only a little bit of grain less than seventy or eighty catties in the mouth.

Seeing this scene, the grain road officials present instantly slumped one by one. The facts are in front of us, and all explanations pale in comparison.

"My lord!

"My lord, there is a situation here, too!"

As the first one was discovered, the next ones were discovered one after another. And the emptiness of the granary of Bai Zefu shocked Lu Sheng.

Soon, the prefect of Bai Zefu also heard something and rushed over. After learning that there were so many empty warehouses in the granary of Bai Zefu, he opened his mouth wide in surprise and couldn't close it for a long time.

"This ...... This...... Come on, take them down for me and put them in prison—" When the prefect shouted these words, his voice broke, and his distorted face looked like he was going to eat someone.

"No need, I have to take all these people back to Anqing Mansion. ”

With the help of the officials, it was busy until late at night that more than 10,000 granaries were inspected. Forty percent of the granaries are empty, and almost all of these empty silos are concentrated in the middle.

And the officials to whom the grain road belonged collapsed to the ground one by one, they had already accepted their fate, and they also knew that they could only escape by pretending to be dead to escape reality this time.

"Governor Lin!"

"The lower official is here!"

"If something like this happens, you must keep it a secret. We must not leak even a single word! All the personnel present today must be ordered to keep their mouths shut, and once it spreads out and causes panic, you and I cannot afford to do so. ”

"Yes, the lower officials know...... The lower officials knew......" Governor Lin replied with a sweat.

Lu Sheng ordered Xuan Tianwei to escort the officials of this grain road into a carriage and set off for Anqing Mansion overnight. This matter is too big, and it is no longer something that Xuantian Mansion can face independently.

The sun is rising, and the Taishou Mansion will open its doors half an hour earlier than usual today.

Early this morning, He Xingzhi changed into a brand-new official uniform and waited in the office. Before the end of the day, Lu Xiangyang, the Taoist lord who had been absent for three years, came to He Xingzhi's office in an official uniform.

"Xiaguan has seen Lord He, one farewell for three years, don't come harmed?"

"Yaozhi, you're back, I'm finally looking forward to your return......"

"My lord has high hopes, and I feel five inner sense of the sun. In the past three years, the implementation of the new policy has given Chuzhou a new look, and although the lower officials are in the Ding Wei period, what they see and hear is changing with each passing day.

Adults haven't been making a splash for seven years, but they don't want to be a blockbuster. In the past three years, Xia Guan has also been thinking that Xia Guan has been to five states, held important positions in 12 positions, and implemented the new policy no less than five times.

Although it was barely completed every time, it was overthrown after the lower officials stepped down. And my colleagues have mixed reviews of me.

Xia Guan originally thought that they were jealous of the virtuous. Now seeing the new deal of adults, Xia Guan suddenly realized that Xia Guan's new deal is just a disorderly illness and a doctor, and changing it may just be a waste of money for the people. ”

"Yaozhike, don't say that, the new deal is a way forward with little future, before success, who knows whether it will be success or failure? Those new policies before you, in my opinion, are excellent, but there are some places that are too hasty.

I wanted to implement the new policy, but I had no choice but to do it. Speaking of which, I originally planned to wait for you to preside over the implementation of the new policy for me after you come back, but I didn't want my ideas to hit it off with Lord Lu, so I didn't wait for you to return, Yaozhi won't blame me, right?"

This is what He Xingzhi feels most sorry for Lu Xiangyang in his heart.
