There were two gentle bird calls on the wall again, which meant that they had received it and would immediately inform Emperor Ming Yan.

Yan Shiyue was relieved, and then said: "Forget it, you take people to guard the door, and these people are also watching, I called Bao Zheng to bring people, but I haven't come, I guess I was also tripped up, you call someone to pick it up." ”

Huo Qijing quickly turned around and dispatched.

Sima Long said slowly: "Xiangye, why is this so? ”

Qu Sinian said with a smile: "Master Sima, who doesn't know that our Xiangye has always been a little willful, and kind-hearted, and hates the grass and human life the most, you kill people in front of her, this library is a plate, and it has to be plated, and it is not plated." ”

Sima Long lowered his eyes and was silent.

Qu Sinian smiled again: "But it's okay, the official believes that you are all innocent, after the plate, the Xiangye is relieved, and the adults are also relieved, isn't it good?" ”

Sima Longpi said with a smile: "The official took over the post of Shangshu, less than three months, until now, the affairs have not been sorted out, Xiang Ye has the heart to help the inventory, of course the palace is not begging, and there is no intention to stop it before, just thinking that the inventory is not a trivial matter, it should be in accordance with the rules, I don't want to, it is actually a misunderstanding of Xiang Ye." ”

"Lord Sima is serious, Xiang Ye has always praised Lord Sima for being gentle and kind, how could he misunderstand."

The two talked to each other, and Huo Qijing had already led people to separate the treasury guards and take their place.

At this time, Chu Ningyuan also took Bao Zheng and his party over, and Bao Zheng saluted: "Xiangye, the lower official brought more than 50 people to listen to the dispatch of Xiangye. ”

Yan Shiyue nodded, motioned for Gu Hengsha to come over and dispatch, and then said to Sima Long: "My lord, please open the warehouse door." ”

Sima Long nodded expressionlessly, and then asked Zhu Langzhong to open the warehouse door with someone.

The treasury has no windows, only vents, and it also needs to be lit during the day, Gu Hengsha asked people to light the lights, and divided the people into two groups, and counted them at the intersection, and at the same time, Huo Qijing also divided twenty people into it, and inspected and supervised back and forth.

For a while, the room was filled with the sound of calculations.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, and there was a commotion, the prince strode in with people: "Yue'er? ”

Even the prince is here?

Sima Long's beard trembled, and he glanced at Jia Hangjing, his eyes were full of gloom, and he stepped forward to salute.

Yan Shiyue also greeted her, and the prince looked at her and said to Huo Qijing: "I brought two thousand dragon guards, and I will hand them over to you for dispatch for the time being." ”

Huo Qijing gave up his hand and quickly handed over.

Sima Long and the others also stepped forward to salute, and the prince only nodded, signaling them to retreat, and then asked Yan Shiyue in a low voice: "What's the matter?" ”

Yan Shiyue pulled him aside and whispered.

The crown prince's brow furrowed deeply.

Then Yan Shiyue said: "Brother, I've handed it over to you outside, don't let any of these people go, I'll go and take a look first." ”

The prince nodded.

Yan Shiyue went in.

The silver vault was not a lot of boxes, as she imagined, but divided into many small rooms, one by one, and there were many shelves in each small room, and there were silver on the shelves, and there were also trays layer by layer.

And the silver in it is not all big ingots, small ingots, but also silver cakes and silver bricks, as well as a small amount of gold ingots.

A warehouse closer to the door, it seems that they are all newly made silver ingots, with the year name of "Ming Yan" on it, and there is a look of about a million, which should be from the Tashan silver mine, and it is said that over there, it has already begun to be refined.

Yan Shiyue walked back and forth.

After a while, Qing Weili came in with a team of personal soldiers and lined up behind everyone.

Yan Shiyue looked at it for a while, didn't find any problems, and went out.

Outside, all the soldiers had been escorted, the guards were also separated, and some chairs were placed in front of the hall, and the prince and the others sat separately.

As soon as Yan Shiyue came out, Sima Long and Jia Hangjing quickly looked over, and then several people got up together: "Xiangye, please take a seat." ”

Yan Shiyue nodded and sat down.

Zhu Langzhong apprehensively pleaded guilty to her: "Xiangye, today's matter is that the law of the lower officials is not strict, but the cruel killing of the guards has absolutely nothing to do with the lower officials!" Even if the lower officials have great courage, they don't dare to kill the Xiangye's witness. ”

He hurriedly raised his hand and swore: "If the lower official has half a lie, he will be divided into five horses and die!" ”

Yan Shiyue couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

At such a dangerous juncture, dare to swear such an oath, is what he said true?

Who knew that at this time, Jia Hangjing also said: "This matter is definitely not instigated by the lower officials!" Xia Guan didn't recognize him at all! If the prime minister doesn't believe it, the lower official can also swear! ”

Sima Long also said: "Xia Guan was talking to Xiang Ye at that time, and Xiang Ye should believe in Xia Guan's innocence." ”

Yan Shiyue nodded and glanced at Qu Sinian quietly.

It is estimated that he said something, emphasizing that they killed people first, so no matter what the result is, they are all "forced to be helpless" and "follow the trend", and this statement is in line with her personality, so they believe it.

But at this time, these are no longer important, what matters is the results of the inventory.

More than 40 million taels, and it is a cross inventory, it is really not a small project, these people have been counting for more than three hours before they came out, and then Gu Hengsha took the abacus and counted it himself.

After he finished counting one first, his brows were twisted, and after glancing at Yan Shiyue, he went to count the other one.

Yan Shiyue looked at his eyes, knew that something was wrong, and pursed his lips.

Then Gu Xiao quickly finished counting the other one, got up and said, "Master, after counting, the silver stored in the treasury is 43,627,500 taels." ”

Yan Shiyue fell silent instantly.

At this time, Sima Long had already handed over the account books with both hands.

At present, the treasury has 43,650,000 taels of silver on its books, that is, there is only a shortage of 22,050! According to the control system of the national treasury, there is a certain rate of loss, no more than 40,000 taels, which is a normal loss! Just make up, the competent officer, no need to hold accountable!

Sima Long said with a smile: "Fortunately, it is not too short, and it is thanks to Xiangye for finding out in time!" The lower officials must deal with it in time! ”

He didn't dare to have the slightest mockery on his face.

But this incident is already a huge mockery in itself!

Originally, she met the treasury soldier who stole the silver and proposed to take inventory, which was logical.

However, it alarmed the prince and the dragon guard, with such fanfare, but came to such a result...... It's a big joke!

Yan Shiyue sat in the chair, her brows furrowed, and she didn't move.

This result really stunned her.

Sima Long threw his hand to her again and again: "Xiangye, a false alarm is better than a real deficit!" Xia Guan is also the first to take charge of the household department, and he is really scared today, and now he is also relieved...... It's really thanks to Xiangye's wisdom and decisiveness, and the lower officials are grateful......"

He desperately handed her the steps.

The prince looked at her face, stood up, and said gently: "Fu Yan, it's a good thing that there is no deficit, let's go back to the palace together, and tell him to rest assured." ”

He was puzzled, too.

However, it was the person she sent to call the silver, the person who supervised Huo Qijing's personal soldiers, and the person who dispatched her apprentice, this result is beyond doubt.

He walked over and patted her on the shoulder: "Be careful, it's not a bad thing, even if you are alone, you must have an inventory." ”
