Chapter 513: The Way Out
Sizheng, Jiang Wenbin and Xie Changjing sat face to face in Xie Changjing's study.
"I heard that you are coming, my wife specially prepared a class fish and simmered it in chicken soup," Xie Changjing said with a smile: "This is the practice of your hometown, you must like it." ”
"I'm not really here to eat." Jiang Wenbin hurriedly shook his head: "Why are you still bothering your sister-in-law like this." ”
"What's the trouble? That's what women do at home! Xie Changjing, who doesn't have to work in person, is very justified in calling others: "Let her do this, but save her time and make trouble." ”
"In my opinion, it's you who make things happen every day." Jiang Wenbin shook his head: "Forget it, it's inconvenient for me to talk about your family's affairs." Don't talk about this, Chang Jing, do you remember a long time ago, when I wanted to participate in the evidence of Li Xiang, Zhou Shangshu and Zhao Zhiliang? I've handed it over to you, and now I want it back. ”
Xie Changjing has the name of a prodigy since he was a child, and he is naturally extremely smart. He didn't need to be thorough in his words, he instantly reacted to what Jiang Wenbin wanted to say.
"Do you suspect that the robbery of Jin Lingwei's escort military funds this time has something to do with the last incident?" Xie Changjing instantly became alert.
"Yes!" Jiang Wenbin replied frankly: "So the previous evidence is given to me, and I am useful." ”
"Do what?" Xie Changjing looked at his friend suspiciously: "Could it be that you want to participate in Zhao Zhiliang and Li Xiang by yourself?" Are you confused? This time, the ordnance is that you stare at the warehouse and load the car, and before escorting it out of Beijing, you also personally inspected it, if there is a problem, didn't you put yourself in first?! ”
"Who said I'm going to play on my own." Jiang Wenbin frowned and said: "I'm just suspicious, I'm afraid these two things have the same purpose, both to cover up something." Forty percent of the materials sent by Zhao Zhiliang to the north were moldy, and in order to cover up his actual duties, he made the so-called 'robber' bureau, but why this time? I can guarantee that the ordnance that goes out of my military department is fine, but what about the household department? What if something goes wrong with your household side? ”
Xie Changjing, the household servant, was stunned for a moment, he opened his mouth to distinguish it, but suddenly he was a little short of words. Because to tell the truth, he really doesn't know if there is a problem with the grain and grass that the household department has transported to the north. Everything is done by Shangshu He Wenmao himself, from grain transfer to point warehouse, to loading, and then to the final inspection, all of which are handled by He Wenmao himself, Xie Changjing has seen only the warehouse list of the official warehouse to transfer grain, as well as the entry and exit approvals, and accounts.
The procedures are complete, and the accounts are correct. But as a household servant, Xie Changjing knew that if He Wenmao, the head of the household, wanted to make a fuss on paper, it would be too easy. The big seal of the household department is in He Wenmao's hand!
Seeing Xie Changjing's subtle expression, Jiang Wenbin understood everything, and he immediately frowned and asked: "Chang Jing, don't worry about it for a while, think about it carefully, have you handled this batch of grain, even if it is a matter on the books, does it involve you?" Have you ever signed? Lost on paper? ”
Jiang Wenbin's questions made Xie Changjing break out in a cold sweat in an instant. Fortunately, Xie Changjing's memory is amazing, he sat at the desk for a long time and did not move, carefully recalled all the documents in his hands these days, and finally replied: "It should be no." However, there are a few paperwork, and I have to go back to the yamen to confirm it at a glance before I can rest assured. As you know, He Wenmao has been in contact with Zhao Zhiliang of your military department a lot recently, and it seems that there is a faint tendency to fall towards Li Xiang, so I have always been a little wary of him. ”
"That's good! That's good! Jiang Wenbin breathed a sigh of relief: "I know who you are." I'm just afraid that you will be used by He Wenmao. ”
"Listening to your tone, you seem to be ......" Xie Changjing frowned: "It has been determined that there is a problem with this batch of grain from our household department?" ”
"Not only that," Jiang Wenbin replied, "I still suspect that this matter has nothing to do with Zhao Zhiliang." ”
"Zhao Zhiliang belongs to your military department," Xie Changjing immediately shook his head: "Since you can guarantee that there is no problem for the military department to export the ordnance, then why did Zhao Zhiliang do such a thing?" What's in it for him?! ”
"I haven't figured this out yet." Jiang Wenbin shook his head. He then told Xie Changjing what Zhao Zhiliang had said in the Yamen of the Ministry of War.
"This Zhao Zhiliang, if I hadn't worked so hard to throw the black pot to the Rong Di people, I wouldn't have been so sure." Jiang Wenbin concluded: "The more he is like this, the more suspicious I become. You know, I've been watching him carefully every day since he came back to the military headquarters. According to this person's usual behavior, if he didn't have anything to do with him at this time, he would never have to do anything with himself, and he would never express his opinions so highly. If you think about it, if the military funds are lost, the military department will definitely be implicated, if it has nothing to do with him, he is afraid that he will not send the errand to him! Where would be so positive. ”
Xie Changjing was silent for a long time and did not say anything. Jiang Wenbin's conclusion is a bit scary for Xie Changjing. He's a tobe squire! If there is really a problem with the grain and grass that they transport out of the warehouse...... In fact, no one can get rid of it.
"I know what you're worried about." Jiang Wenbin also knew Xie Changjing very well, he looked at Xie Changjing's face and said, "Chang Jing, you believe me, right now giving me the evidence before Zhao Zhiliang is already your best way out." Think about it, the fifth and sixth sons of the Anguo Mansion have no news so far, with that blood book, can the Mu family give up? The five sons and six sons were originally generals guarding the northern border in the future, if something really happened to them, and the imperial court lost two future famous generals in one go, can the emperor give up? Such a big thing can't be covered! If you don't report it, it will be traced to you in the future, and you won't be able to get out of it. ”
Xie Changjing closed his eyes. He understood that Jiang Wenbin's words were not selfish, and they were completely for his sake. That's right, if such a big thing happened and injured the sons of the Mu family, the Mu family would not give up, because the escort was unfavorable, and the general of Zhenguo, who carried the black cauldron, would not give up, and the emperor would not give up.
"What are you going to do with that evidence?" Xie Changjing said with a disgraced face, looking very desperate.
"Handed over to the Anguo Mansion." Jiang Wenbin replied decisively: "Let Mrs. Mu present it to the emperor in private, so as not to startle the snake." ”
"Can you let me go for a day?" Xie Changjing replied in a dumb voice: "I want to discuss it with my father." ”
"Chang Jing," Jiang Wenbin sighed: "You have to know that at the moment, you have to protect yourself, and the only way out is to fully cooperate with the Anguo Mansion." ”
"I understand." Xie Changjing replied dejectedly: "I understand......"
