Chapter 412: Escort Route

Out of the barracks, the second place Wen Qiao and Ling Yi went to was the palace. It's one thing to guess the truth of the matter, and it's another thing to confirm it yourself.

Ren is Wen Qiao tried his best to keep his mood calm, but he still couldn't suppress a gratuitous anger.

was completely angry with Jiang Cheng, he thought that he had never made an enmity with Jiang Cheng in the imperial court, and what he did this time was not only harming Wen Qiao, but also harming the people of Fuzhou!

According to the custom, courtiers are not allowed to enter the palace at night, Wen Qiao stopped at the place where he was about to reach the palace, "Ling Yi," Wen Qiao suddenly said to Ling Yi, "You wait for me outside first, or you can go back first." ”

Ling Yi's identity was special, and it was naturally impossible for Wen Qiao to let him accompany him into the palace.

Ling Yi didn't show any expression, he didn't know how long it would take for Wen Qiao to enter the palace.

After all, the time has been almost checked, and there is no need for his own protection in the palace, so Ling Yi replied: "I'll go back first, you pay attention to safety."

After the two made it clear, they parted ways, Wen Qiao entered the palace, and Ling Yi returned to Huai'en Houfu first.

Soon there was no shadow of Ling Yi behind him, and Wen Qiao's brows furrowed deeper and deeper when he thought of the matter of grain and grass.

As the night wore on, the guards guarding the palace gates were not as strict as they were during the day.

There are usually no one in the dark, so the guards of this guard can be lazy. When Wen Qiao walked to the gate of the palace, the guard in charge of guarding leaned against the big red wall behind him, and his head was pointed down.

The guard didn't sleep deeply, he heard footsteps around him, and woke up just when Wen Qiao approached.

The guard raised his head, and in the blink of an eye, he recognized that the person in front of him was Wen Qiao, but he still didn't let go of the rules, and said, "Lord Wen, what's the matter with you, no one can enter the palace at this time."

The guard's tone of voice was quite gentle, if Wen Qiao couldn't give a reasonable answer, he would never let Wen Qiao in.

Wen Qiao silently glanced inside the palace gate, he quickly came back to his senses and said to the guards guarding the door: "I have an urgent matter to see Lord Wen, and I will report to Your Majesty tomorrow."

The guard showed a look of embarrassment, he was entangled for a while, and instructed uneasily: "Then Lord Wen will go and come back quickly."

Because Wen Qiao's identity is not ordinary, and what he wants to do should not hinder the nobles who live in the palace, so the guards let him in. With permission, Wen Qiao walked into the palace.

The palace was very large, and Wen Qiao looked for the location of the main hall where the treasury handled things in his memory.

The lights were still on in the hall at this time, proving that there were still people inside. not

There was a failure, and Wen Qiao breathed a sigh of relief for the time being. He quickly walked to the door of the main hall and knocked on the door, and soon a young man's voice came from inside, "Who?"

At the same time as this voice came from inside the main hall, the door of the main hall that was closed in front of Wen Qiao also opened.

Through the dim light that spilled from the main hall, Wen Qiao could see the appearance of the gatekeeper clearly. Sure enough, it was a young man with the same voice as he spoke.

Wen Qiao nodded to the young man as if he were courteous, and shouted, "Treasurer Fu."

This young man is the third-in-command of the officials in charge of the treasury, he is a few years younger than Wen Qiao, and the fact that such a young man is the third-in-command in charge of the treasury is enough to show that he is extraordinary.

Treasurer Fu only showed surprise in the first time he saw Wen Qiao after opening the door, he let go of his hands that were grasping the doorknob and directly opened the door widely.

He raised his right hand inward, spread his five fingers, made a gesture of inviting in, and shouted, "It turned out to be General Wen."

Because of the special status of the treasury, and in order to make it more convenient for the emperor to control, the entire treasury office is in the palace.

In the main hall in front of you. I saw that when I entered the main hall, Wen Qiao was greeted by a few tall bookshelves built directly to the roof.

Fu Siku printed Wen Qiao and went further inside, and the back was very different from the outside.

The inside of the main hall is much more spacious, and there is no other decoration except for a few crimes placed in order.

There were several windows on the walls on the left and right sides to allow light to come in from the outside and to keep the whole hall from falling into darkness.

At this time, there was no third person in this hall except for Wen Qiao and Fu Siku. Wen Qiao had never been in contact with Treasurer Fu before, but it was difficult for him to know such a young talent.

After he entered the door, the second thing Fu Siku did was to pour tea for Wen Qiao with his own hands.

Wen Qiao secretly thought in his heart that this Fu Si Treasurer was really the same as the rumors, not only was he a promising young man with a high IQ, but he was also very approachable with excuses, and he didn't have a little arrogance on his body.

Such a person, no matter who he is, can't hate him.

Treasurer Fu beckoned Wen Qiao to sit down, and as soon as his dark eyes rolled, he asked, "I wonder why Lord Wen came here at this time and needed my help?" No one will visit here for no reason at this time.

After Treasurer Fu's voice fell, the surroundings became quiet again, knowing that things could not be delayed, Wen Qiao said directly: "Don't hide it, I came this time to verify something from Treasurer Fu."

Fu Si Kuan listened to Wen Qiao's words and continued, "What does Master Wen want to know?" It's good to say it directly, and if I can say it, I will tell Master Wen. ”

These words made Wen Qiao's image of this young man a little better, and the look in his eyes was sincere, and he definitely didn't look like he could lie. Wen Qiao asked: "I don't know if you remember the transfer of grain and grass between the treasury and Jiang Cheng that day?"

Not long after this incident, there were rumors about Jiang Cheng in the court recently. Fu Siku nodded slightly, and said to Wen Qiao: "My master is in charge of the handover of grain and grass with Jiang Cheng, but I know the specific situation."

With this answer, Wen Qiao didn't go around in circles with Fu Siku, he asked directly: "Do you still have the route for the grain and grass escort?" It's just a simple sentence, but it's enough to prove the truth of what Wen Qiao wants to know.

Treasurer Fu stopped and walked to the bookshelf to find a book, he sat back next to Wen Qiao, and lowered his head to flip through the book he was holding.

After a while, Treasurer Fu turned the book to a certain page and put it on the small case in Wen Qiao's hand, and he said: "In order to facilitate His Majesty's inspection in the future, the treasury will carefully record everything it does."

He tapped his finger lightly on the page and said, "This is the route we have designated after discussing with Master Jiang."

Wen Qiao took the book, and he stared at the picture drawn on it, the starting point on it was the capital, and the final destination was outside the city of Fuzhou.

Wen Qiao's eyes changed in an instant, and a coldness soaked in his eyes as he stared at the things above. The treasury will never be faked, and the route is clearly drawn on the page. And Wen Qiao was in Linzhou when he handed over the grain and grass to Jiang Cheng at that time.

Needless to say, the matter of grain and grass escort is now very clear. From beginning to end, Jiang Cheng is making trouble! The chair was pulled back because of Wen Qiao's sudden uprightness, and a shrill sound sounded in the quiet room.
