Zheng Ying patiently listened to Sun Shangshu's lengthy narration, and then he smiled.

"It turns out that you have already noticed the possible loopholes in the household department." Zheng Ying rummaged through the desk, found a thick envelope, and handed it to Sun Shangshu: "Take a look." ”

The envelope contained a series of evidence about Zhao Zhiliang collected by Jiang Wenbin before, as well as inferences about He Wenmao and the robbery of the military quartermaster.

After Sun Shangshu saw the contents of the envelope, he first broke out in a cold sweat, and then began to have thick doubts.

He raised his head and looked at Zheng Ying to stop talking, as if he wanted to ask something, but he didn't know how to speak. And Zheng Ying originally planned to give Sun Shangshu a truth, so he made the source of this evidence very straightforward, so that Sun Shangshu could completely understand it.

Poor Sun Shangshu suddenly realized that there are really a lot of smart people in the court, Xie Xiang and Li Xiang all know, and even one of his servants in the military department knows about it, and he, the secretary of the military department, is the most stupid, with a black pot on his back, and he is still in the dark.

However, after the initial shock passed, Sun Shangshu suddenly realized that he seemed to have made a loss-making deal. Because of the attitude of King Xin, it is obvious that he will not let go of He Wenmao. In this way, the black cauldron that fell from the sky on his body, in fact, he didn't have to carry it for a long time, and he didn't need to choose a position so early in order to clear himself, and he came to the king of letters to show his loyalty, and he didn't need to hand over all the important documents in his hands in exchange for the trust and protection of the king of letters.

He could have continued to sit on the wall and watch......

Now, however, it's too late to say anything! From the moment he took the initiative to contact Qiao Wenjin and walked into the gate of King Xin's Mansion, he was already a complete follower of King Xin, the kind that had no way to turn back.

Really, it's a big loss!

However, it is too late to say anything. Sun Shangshu looked at the thick stack of papers he had placed on Zheng Ying's desk, and felt that his heart was dripping blood. He really regrets it now that his heart, liver and lungs hurt!

Zheng Ying silently admired the subtle expression of this old wall-riding sect for a while, and then as if adding fuel to the fire, she said: "This He Wenmao is really a smart person. If it weren't for the fact that this king had obtained the evidence of Zhao Zhiliang, it would have been difficult to link him with the robbery of military funds. He did things cleanly, and the military department and Jin Lingwei stopped in front of him as a scapegoat, and this king was almost led by his nose, and almost really followed the line of the so-called 'Rong Di spies'. ”

These words instantly reminded Sun Shangshu.

Oh, yes! If it weren't for He Wenmao, a bastard, how could he have made such a loss-making deal today that would lose all the money! Thinking of this, Sun Shangshu suddenly began to get angry, eager to catch He Wenmao on the spot, peel off the skin and cramp, and let out a vicious breath.

Looking at Sun Shangshu's faintly blackened face, Zheng Ying knew that the heat was almost over. He directly opened his mouth and ordered: "Lord Sun, you have been the secretary of the household department for many years, and you know the government affairs of the household department very well. At present, the household department is under the control of He Wenmao, the water is deep and mixed, and the warehouse is full of his people, which is simply leaky. Everything is complicated, and you need to help this king sort it out in person and see where you can break through. ”

"Don't worry, the prince." Sun Shangshu immediately solemnly saluted Zheng Ying: "The minister must do his best." ”

"Good." Zheng Ying smiled and raised her palm towards Sun Shangshu: "This king gives you five days, five days, no matter what, you have to give this king an answer." ”

Sun Shangshu seemed to hesitate for a moment, but he quickly nodded affirmatively at Zheng Ying.

"In addition," Zheng Ying stared at Sun Shangshu closely, and suddenly changed the subject: "This king wants you to borrow grain from the soldiers of the state capitals in the name of the military department, and within fifteen days, send another thousand carts of grain and grass and five hundred carts of ordnance to the north, and there must be no mistake." ”

"Lord Wang," this time, Sun Shangshu really hesitated. Such a big thing, he really didn't dare to respond to it: "This matter ......"

"Lord Sun," Zheng Ying's expression was as calm as water, but her eyes were full of oppression: "Anguo's open military warehouse for disaster relief, how long can the grain and grass in the northern military warehouse last, you, the secretary of the military department, must know better than anyone else." Do you know what will happen if the northern army is in an emergency? ”

"Your Highness," Sun Shangshu seemed to want to struggle a little more: "The minister has calculated, if you save more, you should be able to last a few more days." Seeing that the summer grain is about to be put into storage, the grain is ...... at this time."

"Save?" The corners of Zheng Ying's lips curled, and he looked like he was smiling, but Sun Shangshu, who was standing opposite him, suddenly shook suddenly: "Is Lord Shangshu planning to save from Shuobei Ying, or is he planning to save rations from Yanmen Pass?" Lord Sun shouldn't need to be reminded by this king, the fact that Rong Di is also making a disaster, right? The defenders of the northern border are hungry and can't guard the border pass, but if the border pass is lost, Lord Sun, do you think you, the secretary of the military department, will not be involved? ”

"Master Sun," Zheng Ying stared at Sun Shangshu, with a somewhat serious posture: "This king is helping you." Could it be that Lord Sun thought that with an armistice agreement, he could sit back and relax? ”

"Naturally, the minister will not be so naïve." Sun Shangshu immediately replied: "But Lord Wang, it is early summer now, and it will take at least half a month for summer grain to be stored, even if it is the Jiangnan Mansion Military Warehouse, it can't take out so much grain and grass." If we emphasize the grain and grass of the government soldiers at the moment, the military governments of the states will not be so happy, they will find an excuse to delay for a few days, and they will get stuck in which link, and I don't know how long it will be late for this grain and grass to reach the north. In my opinion, this is not the fastest way. ”

"Then Master Sun must have a better way?" Zheng Ying asked, "You might as well say it directly." ”

"Buy!" Sun Shangshu categorically threw out the answer: "He Wenmao previously deduced that there were two seasons of natural disasters in the north, and the official treasury continuously transferred grain to the north for disaster relief, and there was no grain to adjust before the summer grain was put into storage. And that's a good reason. But he doesn't have food, so he always has silver, right? First of all, the household department will pay the money, and find the Gyeonggi big grain merchants to buy a batch of grain for emergency needs, and buy as much as they can. This is the fastest way, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, even if those grain merchants take the opportunity to raise the price of grain, they don't dare to go too far. If the household department pays for the private treasury of several surrounding grain merchants, the minister believes that it will not be a problem to gather 200 truckloads of grain for emergency purposes. ”

"That's a way to go." Zheng Ying nodded: "You will give a piece to your father tomorrow, and this king will do his best to promote this matter." This time, the imperial court must personally supervise the grain collection by your military department, and the household department will pay for it. ”

"The minister understands!" Sun Shangshu immediately nodded in understanding.
