"Where did you say Wang Xianling got all this money?" The second prince muttered in a low voice, and a trace of realization suddenly flashed in Xiao Yu's heart.

"Prince! Could it be related to the prince! She suddenly remembered the news she had found out before, that Wang County Order and the prince's Zhou Liangdi can still have something to do with it, although the relatives of the concubine are not considered serious relatives of Zhou Liangdi's mother's family.

The second prince raised his head and looked at Xiao Yu with a blank face: "Prince? How is it possible, Brother Huang...... Brother Huang...... He made so much money...... Do what! In the process of speaking, the second prince seemed to realize something, his voice became smaller and smaller, more and more hesitant, and the last three words were almost inaudible.

Xiao Yu looked at the second prince lightly and did not speak. The crown prince has been addicted to medicinal stones for the past two years, and from the conversation with Emperor Tan in the past, Xiao Yu has already felt that Emperor Tan is becoming more and more dissatisfied with his eldest son.

The prince has always been the most difficult to be, and in the history books that Xiaoyu has read in his previous life, there are very few who can smoothly go from the prince to the emperor, but many silent princes eventually became emperors.

If the crown prince quietly got so much money or food behind Emperor Tan's back, what he could do would be thought of by anyone with a little brain. So is it true that the prince has been addicted to medicine stones for the past two years? Or is it just an illusion?

"Nope! It won't be ...... Brother Huang! The second prince hesitated for a long time, and suddenly said with a red face, and at the same time his two hands were tightly clenched into fists, as if he was cheering up his rebuttal.

"Brother Huang, he's not this kind of person! The royal brother is a very simple person, and he has never thought too much about the throne! The second prince became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes were slightly red, Xiao Yu took a closer look at the second prince, and there seemed to be tears flashing in his eyes.

This kid! Xiao Yu couldn't help but sigh, no matter how the queen and Concubine Xian fought openly, I have to say that the second prince has always been very good, humble and polite, and very friendly to the prince, and it seems that the relationship has always been good.

It's just that the prince is not easy to say, according to Xiaoyu's limited contact before, it seems that the prince is indeed not a thoughtful person. Xiao Yu couldn't help but think of the decadent literary and artistic young man Fan when he first met the prince.

"Forget it, it's not our turn to worry about this matter, and we don't always have to guess who the person behind it is, in short, let's send someone to find evidence, and then report it truthfully to Your Majesty, and your Majesty will decide, what do you say? Xiaoyu pondered for a long time, and his head hurt, so he simply didn't bother to analyze it.

"But...... If...... Such...... Right...... Brother Royal...... Isn't it...... It's not very good...... "The second prince was hesitant and undecided.

"If it was really the crown prince's order, he deserved it; If he didn't get involved, then finding out this black sheep in time would only be good for the prince, otherwise even if it had nothing to do with him, he would inevitably be responsible for negligence! Xiao Yu said angrily.

When the second prince heard Xiao Yu's words, he was silent for a moment and nodded heavily.

Xiaoyu took the map, judging from the map, Guang'an Cang is only more than a few dozen miles away from here, if he takes advantage of his unpreparedness, sends people to raid, controls the personnel in charge of Guang'an Cang in one fell swoop, and obtains the account book of grain in and out, whether there is a resale of grain in the warehouse, you can know at a glance.

"Second prince, are there any trustworthy people in the 3,000 Imperial Forest Army you bring?" Xiao Yu asked the second prince solemnly.

The second prince nodded, turned around and walked out of the room, and after a while, he walked back and said, "I have ordered a hundred people now, all of them are reliable people, and the county lord will arrange it!" ”

Xiao Yu bowed slightly, stood up and pointed to the map and said, "Look, here, here, well, what to do, I don't need to say it!" ”

The second prince looked at the map carefully, thought thoughtfully for a while, and then Xiaoyu said again: "Your identity is valuable, you can't rush to the front, safety comes first, you know?" Later, you will dress up as an ordinary attendant and mix in with the hundred. ”

Without waiting for the second prince to speak, Xiao Yu continued: "Now this Wang County Decree must not have expected that we would investigate his resale of grain from the treasury, but without further ado, you should send someone quickly." In addition, you order another hundred reliable people to pick you up as the second echelon, go and return quickly! ”

The hundred people brought by the second prince were carefully selected by An Guogong for him, and there were several strong martial arts people, so Xiao Yu was not worried about the safety of the second prince at all, as long as he didn't rush to the front in everything, there would be no big problem.

The second prince Guo Di This is the first time to do this kind of thing, his heart is excited and slightly scared, he changed into ordinary people's clothes and mixed in the team, and a hundred people were led by a team surnamed Zhang to Guang'an Cang.

Xiao Yu then ordered the whole ship to be put on alert, and to anchor at any time if something went wrong. The second prince led people to gallop, and after half an hour, he came to Guang'an Cang.

People who have never seen this granary can't imagine the grandeur of this granary, and the second prince saw more than a dozen granaries towering like clouds standing under the blue sky, which was very spectacular. Hundreds of slightly smaller granaries were surrounded by the outside of the large granary, and around the granary were military camps stationed guarding the grain.

According to the arrangement before departure, Zhang's team first sent a few people to kill a few sentry posts standing guard, and then sent a few good hands to block all the officials guarding the granary in the house and tie them up.

Then, according to the instructions of the second prince, Zhang's team quickly controlled the main road guarding the granary, and searched out the granary account book.

The second prince took the account book and hurriedly browsed it, looked at it for a while, and suddenly sneered and said, "Who is the account office?" A thin middle-aged man among the captives raised his hand tremblingly.

The second prince threw the account book in his hand into the face of the account room and said, "Who are you fooling with this, what about the other account books?" ”

Before coming, Xiao Yu deliberately told the second prince that there might be two true and false accounts, and the second prince specially brought a gentleman who knew how to do accounts in the dowry team, so although this fake account looks leaky on the surface, it is full of loopholes in the eyes of discerning people.

The account room trembled like chaff, shouting vigorously "The king spares his life", obviously mistaking the second prince and his party for robbing the granary.

Without waiting for the second prince to speak, Team Zhang grabbed the collar of the account room and said, "Hurry up and hand over the account book, otherwise, you won't be able to see the sun tomorrow!" ”

When the bookkeeper heard this, his pants were wet, and he only felt a key in his arms with a sad face, and the hand holding the key trembled slightly with fear.

"Hero...... this is the key to the box containing the ledger!" The bookkeeper said as he gestured to a small house next to him.

Team Zhang snorted lightly, grabbed the account room and went straight into the house. Under the guidance of the account room, a box was found on the top of the beams of the house, which was full of account books of the granary over the years.

After all the ledgers were piled up in the middle of the table, the second prince took a ledger and looked at it. It's okay not to look at this, but as soon as I look at it, the second prince's face becomes more and more serious.

He flipped through seven or eight ledgers casually, and picked out one or two more ledgers for his entourage to look at.

"Smack!" I only heard the second prince slap the table angrily and said: "How can this be reasonable, it is really bold, could it be said that the real grain storage capacity of this huge Guang'an warehouse is only less than 1/10,000?" ”

The officials of the grain depot were silent, and no one dared to speak, and the whole room could only hear everyone's nervous and heavy breathing for each other.

"Go, go to the granaries and see how much grain there is!" After being angry, the second prince sobered up a little and asked his subordinates to disperse to each granary to check the real grain storage.

"This good man, there is indeed not much food in this granary!" One of the tied officials spoke suddenly.

Team Zhang glared at the official, but the second prince had already signaled for the official to speak.

The official smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that we want to be corrupt, this Guang'an warehouse has been in deficit every year, and since I came to this Guang'an warehouse, the annual deficit has been very serious!" ”

The second prince suddenly felt in his heart that when he was in the capital, he had also heard about some cats in the national granary. For example, when each county commander takes office, most of the granaries left by the predecessor have a deficit, some may still find ways to make up for it, and more are patting their butts and leaving, leaving a big problem for the successor.

The new county magistrates are not stupid, and the grain depots are seriously in deficit, and some of them not only ignore these shortfalls, but instead resell rice more vigorously, so that the deficit in the grain depots is getting more and more, and finally they have to find ways to cover it up.

There are not many people like himself who can take advantage of the unpreparedness to catch them in one fell swoop, and he has heard that some people, in order to avoid auditing, can even set fire to all the granaries on the first night of their arrival.

Thinking of this, the second prince couldn't help but congratulate himself on his good luck and was able to control the people in the granary before the Wang County Order.

At this moment, the people sent by the second prince to inspect the granary returned, and the news they brought back was even more surprising!

The largest granaries are only covered with a layer of rice on the surface, which looks like a full warehouse, but if you insert it with your hand, it can only be inserted half the length of your fingers, and under the thin layer of white rice is a hollow shelf supported by thin wooden boards! Not to mention those little granaries.

Because of the lack of manpower, the hundreds of small granaries have not been inspected one by one, but these more than ten large granaries have almost one or two million stone of grain.

The second prince waved his hand and called an entourage, whispered a few words to him, and asked the entourage to report to Xiaoyu. He took a few retinues and hurried eastward on horseback.

According to the agreement, the second prince arranged for the second echelon to ambush one mile east of Guang'an Cang. This time, the second prince led people to the second echelon, and directly commanded people to surround the county government with lightning speed, and controlled the Wang County Order, who was at a loss and did not know what had happened in the east window.
