Chapter 226: Cross-examination
After listening to what Li Zhiyan said, General Wei Chi looked at Li Zhiyan and the officials of the treasury department present and nodded.
"Who's in charge of this treasury now?!" General Wei Chi opened his voice and shouted to the officials of the Treasury Department.
Originally, before yesterday, the official in charge of the treasury department had always been Guo Zhi, but with Guo Zhi's death yesterday. For the time being, there is not a single person in the treasury who has protested against the banner.
After General Wei Chi finished asking, no one stood up for a while and said that he was the person in charge of the Treasury Department.
The quiet scene made General Wei Chi a little embarrassed, and after waiting for a while, no one stood up, and General Wei Chi was obviously even more angry.
"Isn't there anyone who can take care of things?! What the hell is your Treasury doing all day?! ”
"General Wei Chi, originally we were a staff member in charge, that is, Lord Guo Zhi. But yesterday ...... Yesterday he had been poisoned and died.
After the death of Lord Guo Zhi, the military department did not order the person in charge to be arranged, so Wei Taining, who was still standing ......., saw that General Wei Chi's tone was obviously a little angry. Guan Jian explained to General Wei Chi.
"I see. That's you, you're the Treasury Keeper now. Before the military department issues the order, you should temporarily serve as the treasury Langzhong.
Chang'an ordered Li De Award to ask about something now, you follow him. Answer the questions of the Li De Award well. This is not only related to several murders, but also related to the military situation of the imperial court. There must be no slackness. ”
"Yes, I see, General Wei Chi."
In fact, General Wei Chi does not have such the right to appoint. But now that General Wei Chi has spoken, who would dare to stand up against it.
It's a big deal to wait until the appointment of the military department or the official department is down, and Wei Taining will return to his original position.
But now, General Wei Chi said that this Wei Taining is Kube Langzhong, and he is Kube Langzhong.
Li Zhiyan saw that General Wei Chi had solved his troubles, and hurriedly thanked General Wei Chi. took Wei Taining and walked towards the room next to him. He'd have to ask about the Treasury now.
Li Zhiyan took Wei Taining and walked outside, and Bai Zhi Yueling immediately followed. Yu Chi Kite originally wanted to follow, but General Yu Chi grabbed Yu Chi Kir'er's arm and stopped her behavior.
"Come home with me, Kite."
"Why, Daddy! I'm not going back! ”
"This matter has nothing to do with you, you can't get involved. Now go home with me immediately, don't wait for me to get angry, and carry you back! ”
"Dad, you just let me follow them. I promise, I definitely won't be impulsive again this time. Be sure to follow them quietly. There will never be anything like Guo Zhi again. ”
"No way!"
"Daddy!"
"It's useless what you call it, go back with me!"
In the end, Yu Chi Kite did not resist General Wei Chi, and was forcibly taken back by General Wei Chi. When she left, Wei Chi Kite'er pretended to be pitiful, kept crying and crying, and did not let General Wei Chi change his mind.
When Yu Chi Yuan'er was leaving, it happened that Li Zhiyan and they had just taken Wei Taining to an empty room here in the treasury.
Xue Rengui was the last to enter the room, and when he closed the door reflexively, it happened to be when Yu Chi Kite was taken away.
However, Yu Chi Kite, who was taken away by General Wei Chi, was not reconciled. When leaving, he also gave a signal to Xue Rengui, who was closing the door. This signal is that this morning, Yu Chi Yuan'er and Xue Rengui discussed something.
It means that when it was noon, Xue Rengui was at the back door of General Wei Chi's mansion, leading a horse and waiting for Yu Chi Kite.
Regardless of the departure of Wei Chi Yuan'er over there, as soon as Li Zhiyan came in, he directly pointed out a chair to Wei Taining and let Wei Taining sit on it.
Then Li Zhiyan and the four of them stared at Wei Taining on the chair and began to ask.
Although it is an inquiry, the atmosphere in the room feels more like an interrogation.
"Master Wei, in fact, the things I want to ask are quite simple. I'll start by saying that everyone in this room can be trusted, including these two girls.
So I hope Master Wei can not be afraid and tell me everything you know. ”
"Don't dare to be, I dare not be, I'm just a small official in the treasury, how can I be called like this by Lord Li.
As for what you want to know, please ask, and I will answer truthfully. ”
"Good. First of all, I want to ask, Lord Wei for a while, or for a long time. I feel that there are some problems in the grain and grass allocation of the treasury department.
These questions may but are not limited to the strange behavior of Wang Cheng and Guo Zhi. ”
"Grain and grass allocation?!" Wei Taining didn't expect Li Zhiyan to ask this kind of question since then. Grain and grass are the top priority of Datang, and Wei Taining also thought that Li Zhiyan would come to inquire about grain and grass, but he didn't expect it to be so direct.
"It seems that Master Wei still has some worries. Well, I'll make it clear.
This morning, Wang Cheng's wife, including seven members of the Wang family, were all killed.
And based on my investigation, I now have reason to believe that the murderer's purpose was to find the treasury grain and grass account books that were lost some time ago.
And Guo Zhi's death, I also think it has a lot to do with this account book.
For the sake of an account book, eight people have already died, and this is not counting Wang Cheng's life. So my guess is that there's something very, very important in this ledger. Or maybe it's a loophole in some kind of grain and grass allocation.
Since it can be recorded in the account books, it is very likely that you have already noticed something, but you didn't notice it at the time.
That's why I'm coming to the Treasury now to ask you about it. I hope you can tell me about the problem of grain and grass allocation in the Treasury Department a while ago? ”
"I see, I see, Master Li." Wei Taining only looked suddenly enlightened at this time, and nodded in agreement with Li Zhiyan's statement.
"Actually, I am also very confused about the account books that Master Li said. The account book of the grain and grass allocation is generally kept by Lord Wang Cheng. We gave the number and plan of the allocation to Lord Wangcheng, who then recorded these things in the account book. ”
Wei Taining didn't show any nervousness when he spoke, his tone was very coherent, and even in the face of Li Zhiyan and the four of them, he said calmly.
"It's been going on for years. The account books are also generally kept by Lord Wang Cheng. It's just a while ago that a strange thing happened.
A matter related to Lord Wang Cheng, Lord Guo Zhi and the account books. ”
"What's the matter?"
