Chapter 182: Thorough Investigation
The more Ah Qiao spoke, the more sad he became, "I don't understand a lot of things, so I can only leave according to Xiao Nie's instructions. But after walking for long, I saw the warehouse burn up, along with the surrounding houses. So I turned back again, but when I returned, I saw that it was surrounded by many officials, and I remembered that Xiao Nie said that the officials were not credible, and I didn't dare to appear, so I hid in the alley, and didn't dare to come out until the heavy rain on the second day.
"Then I met a nobleman." Ah Qiao, whose face was full of tears, handed the burden in his arms to Fenghua, "This is what Xiao Nie handed me over."
Fenghua opened the burden on the spot, took out the account book and handed it to Ye Yanqi, then turned his head and asked, "Haven't you opened this baggage?"
"Nope." Ah Qiao replied with a sob.
"Xiao Nie really wants to be white-headed with you." Fenghua said, returning the remaining things in the package to Ah Qiao.
In addition to the account book, there are hundreds of taels of silver in the package, as well as a festive red red bracelet and necklace, which is used by relatives at a glance.
Ah Qiao looked at these things in a daze, and said in a trembling voice, "Your Excellency will go and do important things first, I want to rest for a while."
"Okay, you have a good rest."
Feng Hua and Ye Yanqi had just gone out of the door when they heard Ah Qiao's uncontrollable crying from inside the house.
The two left in silence for a long time before Feng Hua asked, "Is the ledger useful?"
"It is very important evidence, but it does not record where the medicinal materials came from, and it needs to be checked with the number of medicinal materials transported to the army." Ye Yanqi replied after reading it.
Fenghua thought for a while, then picked up a pen and wrote on a blank piece of paper, "When I was recuperating in my brother's camp, I saw the number of major medicinal materials received by the Zhenxi Army in those two years, and now I can roughly pair them."
Ye Yanqi turned to the accounts of those two years, which corresponded to what Fenghua wrote.
Fenghua held the pen and wrote on the paper, his face became more and more ugly, and finally threw the pen directly and said angrily: "Good guy! The medicinal herbs in the army are actually only forty percent!"
Ye Yanqi looked at the pool of ink on the paper and carefully identified it, "That is to say, before leaving Beijing, thirty percent was deducted, and when I arrived at the place, thirty percent was deducted."
"It's so hateful, it's just medicine, food? What about military salaries? The soldiers defended the country with their lives on the border, but the people they protected withheld their food and grass? No, it's ridiculous to deprive the soldiers of their lives!"
Fenghua got up and slapped the table hard in anger, and the table suddenly cracked from it, and the pen and paper fell to the ground.
Ye Yanqi picked up the account book, "That's right, not only the medicine money, but also the grain, grass and military salaries this time must also be thoroughly investigated."
"Xiaoqi." Feng Hua stared at him with scorching eyes, "I know this is a good opportunity for you, but what I want is for the soldiers to have food to eat, silver to support their families, and medicine to drink if they are injured, do you understand?"
"I understand." He firmly met Fenghua's gaze and swore that "if there is an account book for medicine, there will be an account book for grain, grass, and military salaries, and there will be an account book in Beijing, and there will be an account book in the locality." In addition, this winter's medicinal herbs, grains and herbs are all on the way, and there will be no loss."
After that, Ye Yanqi was so busy that he almost didn't see anyone, and sometimes he had to sneak quietly to the place to act. Ruiwang also noticed that someone seemed to be checking military resources, so he hurried to make up for and correct the loopholes.
Half a month later, this scorching situation finally ended in a fire.
On the first day, Ye Yanqi sorted out the causes and consequences of the Nancang fire, packed up the evidence one by one, reported the matter to the emperor, and asked for a thorough investigation of the grain, grass and medicine transported to the Zhenxi Army.
"What you submitted is not enough to support a thorough investigation, can you guarantee that you will be able to detect the shortage?" The Emperor replied.
He came to His Majesty alone, or he came to ask His Majesty for his support.
What he has in his hand is not directed at one person, but at a group of high-ranking officials, and neither the prince nor his power is enough to bring down the other party. The evidence in his hands was only useful if the emperor ordered a thorough investigation.
"Erchen doesn't dare to guarantee it, but if this matter is not reported, Erchen can't bear the hundreds of people who died in the fire." Ye Yanqi replied.
"We'll talk about it tomorrow morning." The Emperor pondered for a moment and replied.
On the second day, the emperor asked for a random inspection of the military supplies on the way, and asked the courtiers what they thought.
The strange thing is that the scene of the fierce competition between the ministers did not appear, and the party of King Rui was also very much in favor of a thorough investigation of grain and grass, and did not rush to let King Rui take charge of the matter.
"King Gong is the most impartial and selfless, and it is most appropriate to ask King Gong to be responsible for sampling military qualifications."
"The minister seconded the proposal."
The emperor looked at the person who lowered his head and refused: "The fire case at the South Gate of Lao Qi has not been investigated, so let's talk about it after it is investigated."
As a result, a thorough investigation of military funding was delayed.
After the next dynasty, the emperor returned to the Heart Cultivation Hall and shook his head, "Lao Qi is still too tender......
"King Gong has only been in the court for a few months, and he still needs His Majesty's guidance." Father-in-law Liu brought hot tea.
The emperor paused for the tea brought to his lips and snorted coldly, "A few months? That's all those fools."
At night, in the palace of King Rui, there is a lot of fun.
"Fortunately, Your Highness has already dealt with it, if we don't allow it today, it will arouse Your Majesty's suspicion."
"Your Majesty's mind is getting harder and harder to guess, and Your Highness is getting harder and harder, so we can't go wrong."
"I only hope that King Rui will ...... soon"
At this time, King Rui angrily slammed the door and entered, "Who? This king's order is to make up for the money and food of the Zhenxi army, who did this stupid thing!"
Everyone looked at each other and didn't dare to squeak, only Chen Hong, who was his uncle, asked aloud, "What happened to Your Highness?"
"Mr. Yuan!" King Rui shouted.
I saw Mr. Yuan unfold the crumpled paper and read: "The grain and grass on the way of the Zhenxi Army were burned, which was caused by a group of children playing with Martian seeds, and the children and their families have been ......imprisoned at present."
Everyone here was amazed.
Although it was said that the cost of medicine, money and food to make up for the Zhenxi Army was huge, and many people opposed it before, King Kerui insisted, and everyone could only reluctantly spit out the silver.
Counting the days, they will meet in Xiazhou in just one or two days, how can they burn it?
"Could it be that this Xiazhou Cheng Thorn Shi doesn't understand His Highness's intentions?"
"Hmph, I think he was reluctant to give him his share, so he deliberately burned part of it and lost a lot of his head!"
"Cheng Tingshi is not such a person."
"He's your student, didn't you also oppose His Highness's proposal in the first place, and I don't know whose order it was."
"Hmph, I also do things for His Royal Highness King Rui, so I don't need to point fingers at Sang and scold Huai like this, how could I do such a stupid thing?"
"Your Majesty has already let this matter be revealed in the morning, and now I am afraid that it will be thoroughly investigated."
They guessed correctly, the emperor in the Heart Cultivation Hall also received this news, and directly slammed the teacup in his hand angrily, closing his eyes deeply.
"Your Majesty is angry." Gonggong Liu hurriedly knelt down.
"Xuantian Pavilion Elder, Wen Shangshu, King Gong!" After thinking for a while, the emperor opened his eyes and ordered, and then muttered, "Sixth, sixth, after all, he was led astray by the concubine!" I don't know if Lao Qi is really so powerful, or if he is lucky!"
Tian Ge Lao and Wen Shangshu are both loyal to His Majesty, and as soon as this order came out, it was a vigorous and thorough investigation.
That night, the forbidden army was spread throughout the capital, the lights of the mansions of various families were lit until dawn, and dozens of officials were summoned to Dali Temple, including the three generals of the Ruiwang camp - Li Gelao, the military department Shangshu, and the household department Shangshu.
