Chapter 174: Grain and grass were robbed

Su Che looked disdainful: "It's not a minister, it's a common person." ”

Tian Shilang was even more surprised by these words: "A commoner has this ability, congratulations to the prince for getting a capable person." ”

"This person can't be used by me, she is Wu Anjun's person, and it is helpless to help me this time." When Su Che mentioned Su Mu, his eyes were always filled with anger, this Su Mu was better than himself in everything, his background was better than himself, he was a concubine, and he was a concubine.

The conditions are also better than himself, he has been an assistant for a few years, and his father has not mentioned the question of the emperor, and Su Mu has been made the emperor's grandson when he was a teenager.

Now even women are better than themselves, he is in danger, his women are running for him, and he is in danger, I am afraid that his princess will only fall into the well and stab herself in the back.

"Wu Anjun's people? But that businesswoman Qin Miaomiao? When Tian Shilang heard Su Che's words, the first thing that came to mind was Qin Miaomiao, and the whole Chang'an knew that she was Wu Anjun's person.

Su Che nodded: "It's her, when I take back the position of auxiliary government, I will get rid of this woman, and it will be a disaster to keep her sooner or later." ”

Tian Shilang originally had something to say, but after listening to Su Che's words, he didn't speak, but secretly calculated in his heart that he would let his daughter stay away from her in the future, so as not to be in a dilemma.

It has been more than a month since Su Mu left the capital, and all the taxes and grains have been assembled, and he began to load the car and return, gradually collecting the taxes and grains along the way, and finally transporting them back to the treasury of Chang'an City.

Sleeping all the way, although Su Mu was only in charge of supervision, he was also much haggard, wearing an ink-colored robe and a long sword hanging at his waist. Sitting on a horse, walk at the front of the convoy.

Behind him is followed by the grain carriage that cannot be seen, the sky has been hazy in recent days, and there has been heavy fog at night for several days, such weather Su Mu is inevitably worried, if he encounters a gangster who robs grain in the middle of the night, it is very difficult to deal with it, but if the army is sufficient, ordinary bandits and bandits do not dare to rob.

The deputy general who followed Su Mu this time was a newcomer, and Su Mu had never seen it before leaving Beijing, because the generals were all appointed by the emperor, although Su Mu was worried, he didn't raise too many objections.

The deputy general rode his horse to Su Mu's side, slightly worried: "Master Hou, it's getting dark, let's set up camp on this river bank today, and cross the river early tomorrow morning." ”

Su Mule stopped his horses, looked at the Yishui River in front of him, and was worried, this river is dozens of zhang wide, and it may take half a day to cross the river by bridge, and he really wants to camp and rest on this bank of the river tonight, and make plans tomorrow.

Parking and camping, Su Mu's tent was set up by the river, and the rest of the soldiers were lying with the car, with nothing to cover at all, and when it was cold in the middle of the night, they got down completely or lay on the back of the horse to keep warm.

The conditions are difficult, and the only thing to be thankful for is that the rice noodles can be eaten as much as you want.

A meal down, rushed for a day Ruth soldiers were so sleepy that they couldn't open their eyes, leaning on the side of the car in a daze and falling asleep, Su Mu had eaten, and he also felt very tired today, his forehead suddenly hurt, and his eyelids weighed a thousand pounds. After returning to the tent for a while, he put his clothes together and went to sleep.

Sure enough, there was a heavy fog again that night, and the entire river, including the shore, was shrouded in a thick fog, and it was impossible to see five meters away.

The fog was thick all night, Su Mu woke up, rubbed his sore forehead, and wondered in his heart, he slept all night last night, and slept deeply, why did he wake up this morning, he still felt headache and tiredness.

Enduring the discomfort, I got up and went out of the tent, and it seemed to be very quiet outside the tent today, and there would always be a constant sound of horses and vehicles in the past.

Lifted the curtain of the tent and walked out, the gray in front of him was blurry and blurry from the outside.

Su Mu walked a long way, but he didn't see the deputy general coming, and he didn't see a single soldier. I felt bad in my heart.

When I got closer to the convoy, I realized the difference today, the carriage that was originally full of tax grain had long been empty, leaving only the guards who were still asleep, and more than 90 carts of tax grain disappeared overnight!

Su Mu looked at the carriage in front of him, his heart was anxious, and he called the name of the deputy general in a deep voice: "Where is General Zhao now?"

The cold voice spread on the riverbank, and the soldiers who were close to were the first to wake up, looking at Su Mu with some ignorance, and then someone found that the tax and grain escorted were all gone!

This time, the convoy boiled the pot, and soon Vice General Zhao ran all the way to Su Mu, and when he spoke, he was already in a hurry, "Master Hou, the tax grain has been robbed!" ”

Su Mu's face was as cold as ice, he received a letterhead from Qin Miaomiao a few days ago, which reminded him to be vigilant, but he didn't expect that it was only two or three days, and the person in the dark had already started.

Moreover, it was so carefully arranged that dozens of truckloads of tax grain were all stolen overnight, and there were obviously fine works mixed in his own team.

"Vice General Zhao, you take the men and horses to continue to march, pay taxes and grain, and leave a small team of men and horses to follow me to investigate the whereabouts of the grain and grass!" Su Mu didn't believe that such a large amount of grain could not reveal any clues in such a short period of time.

When the fog cleared, Su Mu and his guards searched along the road, but found only the marks of their own chariots and horses when they came, and no other people's footprints.

Standing on the shore, Su Mu was upset, it seemed that the kidnappers were taking the waterway!

If you go on this night, you will not be able to catch up, if you have traveled dozens of miles.

But he was unwilling to give up like this, and he had no shame to return to his father.

When he hesitated, there was another letter from the capital, and when he opened the letterhead, it was Qin Miaomiao's note: "The grain and grass have been robbed, don't pay attention to it, and enter Beijing on time is the best policy!" ”

Su Mu was a little annoyed, even a little resentful, listening to Qin Miaomiao's tone, she had already expected that the tax grain would definitely be robbed, and she couldn't get it back! Su Mu suddenly felt frustrated, he felt that he was like a fool now, not only could he not protect Qin Miaomiao by letting others tease and manipulate in secret, but he also had to let her plan for herself everywhere.

But for the sake of today's plan, Qin Miaomiao is very right, it is impossible to track the grain and grass, the waterway will not leave traces, if the robber lands in the barren mountain and hides the grain and grass in the mountain, I am afraid that it will not be able to be searched for a while. Only a small team was left to continue the search, and the dock checkpoints were notified along the road to pay attention to interception.

He led a large army to continue to escort other taxes and grains into Beijing.

Three days after the grain and grass were robbed, the emperor received Su Mu's request for guilt.

Above the court, he suddenly fell into a death-like silence, hijacked the royal tax grain, and arrested the murderer! Who is so bold as to dare to take such a big risk.

"Look! Take a look! Stealing royal tax grain, ninety-seven carts of grain, disappeared overnight! Is this going to be angry? Su Zuyao's fingers trembled, but there was a faint smug in his eyes.

The ministers below were so frightened that they couldn't even breathe, and they didn't dare to look up to see what he looked like.

No one spoke for a long time, and Su Zuyao started his roar again: "As soon as something happens, you will all be dumb!" Speak! ”

Tian Shilang said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter must be strictly investigated, and the whereabouts of this batch of grain must be traced. Obviously, this is nonsense, but many people have seconded it.

Su Zuyao looked at the performance of a group of drama spirits below, and did not say a word for a long time, and turned his gaze to Ning Guohou An Lihuai, who had not said a word, for a long time: "Lord Anhou, Su Mu committed a big crime this time, but he still has something to do, and it is up to you to investigate the robbery of grain and grass." ”

Ning Guohou seemed to be embarrassed and said: "Back to the emperor, the old minister's eyes are dizzy, I'm afraid I can't do it, why don't I recommend one, what do you think?"

Su Zuyao's eyes are not good, this Ning Guohou has always looked unpleasant to his eyes, but he has the Danshu and the Dragon Slaying Sword given by the emperor, and he has never been able to pull out this thorn in his eye.

"Since Ning Guohou is not competent, then I will choose someone else. Su Zuyao would not give him the opportunity to propose a candidate, and he was just using this to squeeze him out

I thought he would not respond as before, but I didn't expect to propose to others today.

Ning Guohou really didn't give an inch today, and took a step forward regardless of Su Zuyao's refusal, and said to himself: "The old minister thinks that this case should be investigated by the eldest prince, as the saying goes, fight the tiger brothers, and go into battle ...... father and son."

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

Su Zuyao's eyes seemed to be about to breathe fire now, he was originally very satisfied with his group of ministers and officials, but today he felt extremely disgusted, his eyes were cold, he knew that Ning Guohou had already guessed the details of this matter.

Although Su Che lowered his head and was silent, the corners of his mouth were already slightly hooked, during this time, he and Su Mu were fighting secretly, winning and losing each other, but he picked up a big bargain in this matter, and without much effort, he let Su Mu plant a big root.

It was difficult to ride a tiger, and Su Zuyao could only open his mouth and order: "Che'er, since everyone believes in your ability, then my father will hand over this case to you for investigation, can you be confident that you can recover the lost tax grain?"

"Erchen must live up to his father's high expectations and recover the tax grain as soon as possible!" Of course, Su Che was confident that Qin Miaomiao's people had already informed him of the whereabouts of the tax grain, and now all he had to do was to pretend to transport the tax grain back.

The ministers of the lower dynasty left one after another, and Su Che walked all the way to Ning Guo's side, and gave a salute before he spoke: "Thank you Lord Yue Zheng for your help today." ”

Ning Guohou has always been kind to his juniors, and he has completely lost his mean and stern appearance in the court: "Che'er, how is Zijin doing?"

Su Che was formidant: "The princess has been doing well recently, and when Xiaoxu is busy with this case, she will go back to the house with Zijin to visit you and your mother-in-law." "Ning Guohou can help him today, he is really surprised and happy, you must know that in the past four years since he married An Zijin, Ning Guohou has never helped him in government affairs once, and today is the first time.

"Okay, the old minister is waiting for the good news of the eldest prince in the mansion, and the old minister has other things, so he will leave." After Ning Guohou turned around, the kindness in his eyes suddenly disappeared, and he was replaced by a thick mockery. Their father and son seem to only know about the praying mantis catching cicadas, but they don't know that the yellow finch is behind.
