"Last year, the emperor asked Di Cha to go back to reflect, but before Di Shilang could reflect on something, he was hanging. This is not the emperor's original intention," Huo Yixiao said, "My Royal Highness and I want to solve the emperor's confusion and find out what Master Di knows and what he has done, so that he surrendered on the same day." I heard that it has something to do with the winter clothes of the soldiers in northern Xinjiang that he handled, and you should have left the bottom file for the audit, procurement, manufacturing, and transportation on the same day, and we just happened to look through it. ”

Qin Shangshu breathed in his throat.

Good guys, smash it and smash it.

Some people may not understand Dicha's death, but Qin Shangshu is clear in his heart.

The emperor warned the Shen family that the Shen family couldn't let Di Cha speak, so they simply killed and pulled him down.

The fourth prince made a fuss about Dicha's death, this is to learn from the Shen family?

Also, You Cen committed suicide, and Qin Shangshu suspected the Shen family the most, probably, the fourth prince was a roundabout, and the ultimate goal was You Cen.

This reassured him a little.

The main targets are Yuzen and Dicsa, then he is safe.

As for his two scholars......

Qin Shangshu glanced at the two of them, and said in his heart that they were probably annoyed.

Especially Yuan Ji, if Di Cha really did something, Yuan Ji was the Qing official of the arsenal before, and he should not be unaware.

So......

Qin Shangshu touched his beard, he suddenly thought of the conversation between Huang Shilang and Yuan Ji after eating and drinking a few years ago, and now that he thinks about it, nine times out of ten, both of them are involved.

He went to see Zhu Huan and Huo Yixiao again.

Don't be three months later, his two squires? It's time for another change, right?

That's a ......

The passing year is not good.

After finishing speaking, Zhu Huan and Huo Yixiao were not idle, and they said that they would check whatever they wanted.

Ruiyong's nine-year procurement base? Turned it all out? For comparison? I also turned over the files of the previous years when I bought winter clothes for the soldiers, meticulous and meticulous, from beginning to end.

"Lord Yuan?" Huo Yixiao held the file and asked Yuan Ji? "I can't understand these changes, so please explain them."

Yuan Ji stubbornly spoke, not only to explain smoothly? and not to show the horse's feet.

Finally finished? He added: "Price and materials? Will it also be linked to the cotton harvest of the year, labor and the like? What if the harvest is bad? Government procurement? You can't just keep the price down. ”

"That's right." Huo Yixiao bowed his head.

Yuan Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

Huo Yixiao turned his head and asked Zhu Huan: "Your Highness, if I remember correctly, in the ninth year of Ruiyong, the cotton harvest in the Guannai was good, right?" ”

Zhu Huan didn't raise his head: "Yes, there was a bumper cotton harvest that year." ”

Huo Yixiao said to Yuan Ji again: "Watching politics in the household department before? What have been the major crops harvested in recent years? I've seen them all. ”

Yuan Ji smiled dryly: "Your Highness and Son? It's a good memory. ”

"So what is the purchase price of your cotton this year? It doesn't look right, and the household is also covered with ......" Huo Yixiao frowned.

Yuan Ji stammered: "This, that's it, maybe it's Di Shilang and Min Shangshu......"

"Uh-huh!"

"Ahem, ahem!"

Time? There were two sounds in the study, and Yuan Ji was excited, so he quickly shut up.

Qin Shangshu shook his head, there was such a fool among them!

Huang Shilang glared at Yuan Ji, there is more than enough success, no wonder he has survived in the yamen for so many years to rise up, just this broken guts, he opened his mouth when he was scared, what can he do!

Zhu Huan's reminder to these two should only be unaware.

Huo Yixiao even said leisurely: "Lord Shangshu, your throat is uncomfortable, drink more tea to moisten it, is Lord Huang infected with the wind cold?" It's cold these days, pay attention to your body. ”

Qin Shangshu: "......"

Huang Shilang: "......"

What can I say, I can't say anything but "thank you for your concern".

After two days like this, the troops were worried from top to bottom.

When he got to the lower office, Huang Shilang looked for Qin Shangshu and discussed: "If you continue to investigate like this, don't talk about those things in Dicha, those things related to Min Hao will be turned out." ”

Qin Shangshu said: "How to translate? There is no evidence, Dicha is Dicha, what does it have to do with you and me? ”

Huang Shilang laughed and secretly scolded "old treacherous and cunning".

This is to set his words again, to make him admit the problem of Di Chacai, he knew about it before.

Huang Shilang couldn't say it, so he could only respond vaguely.

Qin Shangshu smiled: "Those two are young, their eyesight is still poor, and they are doing a good job at the bottom, and you are not much involved, don't scare yourself all day long." ”

Huang Shilang's hand behind his back clenched into a fist.

This is not to scare himself, but that he has been implicated a lot, and he doesn't dare to underestimate Huo Yixiao because of his young age.

The more wolf cubs they are, the more ferocious and ruthless they are.

The old fritters in the officialdom also pay attention to advance and retreat, strategy, and whether it is cost-effective, the wolf cub doesn't care, he pounces on him when he smells the smell, and he doesn't stop without taking a bite of meat.

dared to break the arm of His Royal Highness Er, dared to go to Shunping Bo's mansion to make a big fuss, and dared to bite Min Hao directly.

The princes, nobles, and important ministers have all been provoked.

No one can help him, the emperor protects him, which one is tough with him, and which one suffers.

Huang Shilang can't sit still.

After sending Qin Shangshu away, Huang Shilang went to find Yuan Ji again: "Dicha's bad thing, once it comes out, you can't escape." ”

Yuan Ji's face turned blue.

"The third highness and the fourth prince, one sings with a red face and the other with a white face, it is enough to scare you," Huang Shilang said, "I don't want to see you unlucky, when the time comes, you can ask the Shen family ...... a string of shrimp and crabs."

Yuan Ji's back stiffened: "I don't have a ...... with the Shen family"

"It's okay?" Huang Shilang sneered, "It's okay, if Di Cha dies, this position will be your turn?" Not before, and you certainly had when you took over. The benefits of buying cotton clothes must definitely belong to the Shen family in the end, you let them have an idea, don't make it to the end, and you have to change someone else to fill the shortage. ”

As he spoke, Huang Shilang patted Yuan Ji on the shoulder: "Don't be like Di Cha at that time, be caught off guard, prepare early, and deal with it early." ”

Yuan Ji listened.

He handed the post to the Shen family.

Halfway through the second watch, Yuan Ji received a reply, and went out with a sedan chair and went to a house in the west of the city.

The garden scenery here is good, but it does not welcome guests, only the people of the Shen family bring some drinks and snacks to watch the scenery and have fun.

Yuan Ji is the second to come back here.

He was brought to a young man.

This man looked like twenty-five or sixteen, with a handsome appearance, and he sat casually, wearing a wide coat on his body, and he looked extremely thin.

Yuan Ji stepped forward and called "Tang Gongzi".

Tang Gongzi is not surnamed Shen, his name is Tang Yunping, the cousin of the Shen family, is the younger generation of the Shen family, the one who is extremely valued by the elders, and even better than several brothers surnamed Shen.

Tang Yunphong said: "What? Those two have only been to the military department for a few days, and you can't bear it? ”
