Shen Zhongyi and his entourage, with Shen Zhongyi taking the lead half a step, Song Ruxuan, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and Feng Tao, the middle of the imperial history, walked on their left side, and Jiang Yuan, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, and Xiang Wei, the young secretary of Sinong who came to see the need to assist in the investigation, walked on his right side.

Not to mention Shen Zhongyi's dragon son Fengsun, he is already the palace eunuch with real power, and the wind and grass in the palace cannot escape his ears and eyes, which shows the empress's trust in Shen Zhongyi. The other four are the second-in-command of their respective departments, proper four-rank high-ranking officials, and there are many officials of all sizes under them, and they also have control over various changes in the government office.

Because of this, the insight of several people is not general, not to mention that the actions of Wang Zewen, the superintendent of the imperial history, and Zhang Zhi, a member of the criminal department, are already obvious, and they immediately looked in the direction of the two of them - it was Liu Chenxing, who was blocked by the two of them and the officials of the Taicang Bureau, and it was almost difficult to find out if he didn't deliberately look at it.

Looking at the actions of Wang and Zhang subconsciously looking back, they looked weak-hearted, there was no stupidity present, how could there be anything unclear?

couldn't help but shake his head secretly, both of them were below the fifth grade, even if they were not qualified to be summoned to the palace by the empress the day before yesterday, they had seen the table drawn by Liu Chenxing together, and yesterday the empress appointed Liu Chenxing to investigate the case together, it was time to hear some rumors.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, that is, the two of them don't hear what is going on outside the window, and they should have a little brain, this time Guanzhong encountered a ten-year drought, Taicang and the major official warehouses all said that the grain storage is not enough, and if you are not careful, it is easy to cause a civil uprising, such a big thing, even if the empress wants to raise the top of the female list she hand-picks, it is impossible to use such a big event to play with it, obviously Liu Chenxing has two real brushes!

What's more, Liu Chenxing is the inspector who is stamped by the empress, and the two of them are just ordered by the department to assist in the investigation of the case, isn't it clear who is the deputy who is the master?

didn't even pretend to be a matter on the face, ignoring Liu Chenxing so much, wouldn't it be wrong to question the queen's choice in the eyes of people with a heart?

It's not that they are unhappy with Liu Chenxing, you must know that if this case is not found out, the empress will not be able to make a difference at all, but the two of them are good, but they will throw "their own person" Liu Chenxing aside, but get close to the subject of the investigation.

Song Ruxuan, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and Xiang Wei, Shaoqing of Sinong, only shook their heads, but Feng Tao in the imperial history and Jiang Yuan, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, were somewhat annoyed, these two were their subordinates, or were they in view of the fact that the two of them had a background in Beijing and had a wide range of contacts, and there would be a lot of bargains in investigating this intricate granary case, so they chose the two to join the investigation team, and the result was that they couldn't tell the situation on the first day of the official errand!

The two directly subordinate Shangfeng Wu regretted choosing the wrong person, but Shen Zhongyi didn't pay much attention to Wang and Zhang, and the phoenix eyes that were not angry and arrogant swept over the two with weak hearts at a glance, and looked behind everyone with a voice.

Liu Chenxing is tall among women, but he is only fifteen years old, and he is also slender and thin unique to girls, compared to the men in front of him, especially many officials of the Taicang Department who are white and fat, Liu Chenxing is lined with a weak and petite body, which is easy to ignore.

Shen Zhongyi frowned slightly, and there was a rare moment of hesitation in his phoenix eyes, and he subconsciously forgot Liu Chenxing's fierceness in the face of the trial of the three divisions, and only based on what he saw in front of him, he suspected that it was correct to support Liu Chenxing to the empress's side in the first place.

In the end, the empress is the first person in the ages, not an ordinary woman, who knows that the empress's appointment of Liu Chenxing this time is not to follow Ouyang Zijin's original path, but to give a real career path like a male official.

Like a woman dominating the world, she once again risked the world's disapproval.

Is the empress old, how can she be old?

All kinds of thoughts were fleeting, Shen Zhongyi's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and the bottom of his eyes was a deep ink, and then he asked, "You have been here for a morning, can you make progress in the investigation?" As he spoke, he walked straight to the court.

There has been progress in the investigation, apparently not by asking the officials of the Taicang Bureau, who clearly stated that they were the targets of the investigation.

Wang Zewen, the superintendent of the imperial history, and Zhang Zhi, a member of the criminal department, sweated on their foreheads, and they looked at each other to no avail, only to get out of the way and let Shen Zhongyi and his party enter first, they cautiously followed behind, and Wang Zewen, the superintendent of the imperial history, replied on his behalf: "Xiaguan has already looked through the grain lost in Taicang due to improper storage in the morning, and the amount is indeed huge. ”

Shen Zhongyi had long legs and big steps, and when Wang Zewen finished speaking, Shen Zhongyi had already sat down in the main seat at the top of the public hall, and he didn't express his answer at the moment, he looked directly at Zhang Zhi, a member of the criminal department on the side, and said in a voice that was not happy or angry: "What about you?" ”

Zhang Zhi's heart tightened, and he quickly lowered his head, and saluted with his crossed hands: "If you go back to King Wei, Xia Guan has also carefully read the accounts, and the amount shown on it is indeed quite large, I am afraid that there are some problems in this." Probably sensing that Shen Zhongyi was dissatisfied with the answer if he didn't express it, Zhang Zhi said that he was behind, and his voice was unconsciously lowered.

Wang and Zhang said different things, but they all said the same thing, and what they said was equivalent to not saying it.

If you don't know that there is a problem with the huge amount, why do you let so many people check it!?

Shen Zhongyi didn't laugh angrily, he didn't look at Wang and Zhang anymore, and he didn't look for Liu Chenxing among the people standing in the public court, and only said in the same tone: "Where is Liu Nushi?" ”

Liu Chenxing had been waiting behind the crowd for a long time, and when he heard Shen Zhongyi's roll call, he immediately lined up, walked from behind the crowd to the bottom of the main seat, and adjusted himself without being vague, keeping up with Shen Zhongyi's way of doing things directly without saying a word, and saluted with his hands crossed:

"Back to the King of Wei, Xia Guan has two problems, as well as a suggestion."

"First, the lower official looked at the accounts of the Taicang Administration on improper storage, and found that the same as the accounts submitted, only recorded the number of grain stones lost by improper storage of grain in a certain year and month, and did not record the cause of the loss of these grains, such as being burned by water? Or rat plagiarism? Or is it caused by mold and rot when the grain has been stored for too long? If there are no such details, where are the account vouchers, and will they not be filled in arbitrarily without evidence? The person who fills in the account wants to write how much loss and how much to write!? ”

In the end, the tone was unconsciously heavy, implicitly questioning.

But before the end fell, the Taicang Department was already angry.

For a while, shouts of grievances erupted.

Probably in the heart of not being held accountable by the law, one of them has the courage to dare to face Shen Zhongyi, the son of the dragon and the grandson of the dragon, and a group of high-ranking officials, after all, this crime of fabricating accounts is a capital crime, and it can't be stopped!

This person's face was suddenly flushed, as if he had been insulted by the sky, and he hurriedly saluted Shen Zhongyi and shouted: "King Wei is clear! It's not that the lower officials don't write the details of the loss caused by improper storage, there are too many names, and there is nothing to write! For example, a warehouse full of grain, some of which have been stolen by rats, and some of which are damp and rotten, how to write this? It's hard to tell the difference. ”

"As for a blank piece of paper, you can fill in as much as you want, and it's even more bloody! We are all based on the truth, King Wei and you should check! ”
