Chapter 234: Fueling the Flames

Tang Yin didn't expect Zhu Hao's plan to be one ring after another.

After listening to it, the whole person is not good.

In front of Zhu Hao, he had to ask countermeasures every time, and now he knew that Zhu Hao could not ask others, all of which this kid came up with by himself......

Sometimes he inevitably mutters, how much is hidden in this little head?

"Zhu Hao, I have something to ask you, when you gave Zhang Fengzheng five hundred taels of silver, were you already calculating today? This is all something you have planned for a long time? ”

Tang Yin was afraid.

If Zhu Hao was looking for trouble for Zhang Zuo, he could think of using Yuan Zonggao to return to the palace in the future, and designed to instigate the contradictions between the two sides, so that Zhang Zuo would spit out the silver he got......

The scheming is too deep.

Tang Yin didn't dare to think about it anymore.

If this is the case, then it cannot be described as ordinary resourcefulness, it is simply demonic.

Zhu Hao spread his hands: "It's just a matter of taking advantage of the situation, how can I see so far...... Besides, if Zhang Fengzheng hadn't taken my five hundred taels of silver from me, would I have room to go up and down? ”

"How not?"

Tang Yin didn't give up, "You designed everything, the price of the main lens provided to Su Dong is fifteen taels, and the telescope here in the palace deliberately offered twenty taels, and when Zhang Fengzheng took over, give him the extra five hundred taels, and you also know that the cost of managing your body will not be used so much......"

Zhu Hao looked at Tang Yin with a smile, with an innocent look, as if he was laughing at the other party-are you thinking too complicated because of your fear of me?

"What are you laughing at?"

Tang Yin was uncomfortable.

In front of a child, he suddenly found himself as if he was defenseless, being seen through from head to foot, as if he could not hide the slightest secret, and his every move was controlled by this kid.

Zhu Hao smiled: "I'm laughing, Mr. Lu is thinking too much, instead of thinking about when I will start calculating this matter, it is better to wake up Zhang Fengzheng as soon as possible and ask him to quickly settle the external account...... If the loophole is discovered by Yuan Changshi, Zhang Fengzheng will be completely unable to remedy it at that time.

"Also, I am an ally with Mr. Lu, you don't need to doubt my sincerity, I thank you for helping me when I was in danger, if I hadn't treated you as an ally, I wouldn't have risked going to Nanchang to pick you up, and then worked hard to help you enter the Xingwang Mansion. There's nothing in you worth my calculations, just understand that...... We have the same goal, and it is more important than anything else to live well in the palace. ”

The old boy still has the heart to think about whether I am a demon or not? Do you understand how to be efficient?

You don't know how many pounds and taels Tang Yin has?

You are famous, that is also famous in poetry and painting, and in times of crisis, don't even run your old face to the street naked, you can be considered bent and stretched.

What can I calculate for you?

And then it's inconvenient for me to do things as a child, so I recommend you to Xingwangfu, even if I use you as a gunman...... We're allies too, the kind that advance and retreat in unison.

Tang Yin shook his head in frustration, didn't care about class, and hurriedly went to Zhang Zuo to discuss things.

Before leaving, Zhu Hao was still reminding: "Be careful, don't be noticed by Yuan Changshi, you still have to maintain a neutral attitude now." ”

……

……

Send Tang Yin away.

Zhu Hao was relaxed.

When did you start calculating Zhang Zuo?

It's okay to trouble me, so I'll give you the silver according to your wishes, and take mine, so that you can't vomit if you want to, and you can't pull it out because of your stomachache......

That's the means!

Or do you think that the money that should belong to me can be obtained at your fingertips? Do you want to get some money from me next time?

No matter how much money my family has, it is also earned back by ability, why should I give you Zhang Zuo?

Now you spit out the silver and don't say anything, the responsibility is not on me, it is the result of your fight with Yuan Zonggao.

Who made you, an old eunuch, greedy and unable to chew it?

"How did Mr. Lu leave?"

After Zhu Hao returned to his seat, several children pretended to read, and after waiting for a long time, Tang Yin didn't come in, and it was Zhu San who stretched out his hand to greet him, Lu Bing trotted all the way to the door to look, and then shook his little head.

Zhu San also paid attention to Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao said: "It may be that you have a bad stomach, so it's gone!" ”

"You're disgusting."

Zhu San pretended to cover his nose.

Zhu Si looked disdainful: "It's as if you don't have diarrhea, and you don't let people have three worries?" ”

Zhu San glared at his younger brother: "You didn't know anything when you saw it, do you believe Zhu Hao's nonsense?" Obviously, Mr. Lu left because he said a few words to Zhu Hao...... Zhu Hao is fooling us. ”

Zhu Si ignored his sister's provocative words.

Jing Hong, who was reading next to him, looked impatient: "Then the county lord wants Mr. Lu to come back soon?" ”

Zhu Sanyi thought.

Also, I don't care why Mr. Tang left, as long as I'm not in class, then I'm not distracted? What the hell am I going to do with that idleness?

Immediately, Zhu San also held his head to the sky outside, bored and drowsy.

……

……

Night.

The Royal Study.

After Zhu Youqi saw Yuan Zonggao, he called Zhang Zuo and Tang Yin over, and this time he only looked for the three people in front of him.

After all, it is an internal contradiction, there is no need to make it public, everything is resolved by the subordinates themselves.

Zhang Zuo and Tang Yin did not come at the same time, when Zhang Zuo arrived, Tang Yin had just arrived, and he hadn't even heard Zhu Youqi finish talking about the purpose of the summons.

"Zhang Fengzheng is here?"

Zhu Youqi looked at Zhang Zuo with a little indifference in his eyes.

Zhu Youqi had a thick and wide account book in front of him, even if Tang Yin hadn't seen what the palace account book looked like, he probably guessed that this was the palace account that Zhu Hao said.

Tang Yin thought to himself, sure enough, Yuan Changshi's shot was also stable and ruthless, but he didn't expect that this was a trap that Zhu Hao had designed a long time ago.

"Lord Wang, are you looking for an old slave...... But what's the matter? ”

Zhang Zuo looked very humble, and the tone of his voice was also telling Zhu Youqi that I am a slave of the palace, not only my heart is towards the palace and you, but even my body belongs to the palace, and I am not a civil official sent to the palace by the imperial court.

Zhu Youqi turned his head sideways: "Yuan Changshi, come on." ”

Yuan Zonggao showed an old fox-like smile on his face: "Zhang Fengzheng, that's the case, after the old man returned to the palace, he checked the relevant accounts of the palace and found some problems, especially those related to the accounts of the past six months...... There seems to be a deviation. ”

Zhang Zuo smiled bitterly: "Yuan Changshi, our family is just a caretaker of the warehouse, are there any moths below...... Even if we can supervise it, we can't put an end to it. This...... This...... This book has always been in your hands when you were there, and haven't you had some deficits in the past few years? ”

First of all, we will attack the fact that the treasury has been empty.

The smell of gunpowder suddenly became stronger.

Tang Yin was like an outsider, watching the contradiction between Zhang Zuo and Yuan Zonggao intensify, and with Zhu Hao's stealth behind the scenes, it was carried out step by step.

Tang Yin was thinking again, sure enough, if it wasn't for Zhang Zuo's move to check the accounts in advance, maybe Yuan Changshi wouldn't want to tear his face, which was all the result of Zhu Hao's promotion.

Yuan Zonggao said: "The deficit needs to be investigated slowly, but the palace makes a telescope, and the old man knows that this matter is related to the allocation of funds by the imperial court, and he must investigate it in detail afterwards, and he cannot tolerate the slightest sloppiness." This is also the largest batch of ordnance made by the royal palace for the imperial court in recent years, which is related to the evolution of the war in the northwest, and it cannot be overemphasized. ”

"Yes, yes."

Zhang Zuo figured it out, Yuan Zonggao first said a big deal, and it seemed that the palace could not relax, but in fact, Yuan Zonggao was just making excuses for his unwarranted audit.

Hey, if you check the accounts, why are you looking for so many high-sounding reasons?

Yuan Zonggao said again: "As far as the old man knows, the telescope was made by the widow of the Zhu family of the hundred households of Jinyiwei, the third lady of Zhu, that is, the mother of Zhu Hao, who was the companion of the palace...... It seems that Zhang Fengzheng took over the past? ”

It's coming, it's coming.

Tang Yin is like watching a good show, he is not a participant in the matter, just like a bystander, but in fact, he was used as a gun by Zhu Hao for the whole thing, even if he is not the initiator, he is also involved everywhere.

This kind of participation in the whole process, but can stay out of the matter and watch the two important people in the palace eat dog......

It's cool to look at.

No matter how much you fight, I will benefit from it.

Zhang Zuo nodded: "It's true." ”

Yuan Zonggao didn't expect Zhang Zuo to admit it so readily, but he had already asked Zhu Youqi, and when he learned that Zhu Youqi didn't know about this matter, he was more sure and continued to ask: "Then dare to ask Zhang Fengzheng, these five hundred taels of silver...... Where is it used? ”

After the problem is exported, even a fool can perceive it, and this is to settle accounts after the autumn.

Zhang Zuo looked very wronged: "Yuan Changshi, why did you suddenly ask this?" Things have passed, and there are also problems with the imperial court's allocation of silver, do you need to figure out the details one by one? ”

Zhang Zuo's expression was nervous, and his hands trembled, indicating that his heart was very weak.

This strengthened Yuan Zonggao's confidence.

Yuan Zonggao looked at Zhu Youqi, probably meaning that Zhu Youqi needed to come out and say a fair word.

Zhu Youqi said: "This king did not ask about this matter, I thought that after the completion of the telescope, I could settle the matter, but according to Yuan Changshi from the old friends of the court, someone in the Ministry of Industry said that the cost of the telescope obviously does not match the cost, and it was also mentioned many times in the court discussion, even if His Majesty returned to protect him, but there was also the possibility of verification afterwards, and it was better to calculate the account clearly, so as not to damage the reputation of the palace." ”

Even Zhu Youqi is on Yuan Zonggao's side, and it seems that Zhang Zuo seems to have lost.

Zhang Zuo looked aggrieved: "Lord Wang, the old slave is worried about making a telescope for the imperial court, and the imperial court may check afterwards, the cost of five hundred taels of copper pipes and decorations, the old slave can save it, in fact, it only takes one hundred and twenty-eight taels and six yuan......

"The remaining part of the old slaves have all been transferred to the treasury, and they were originally intended to be recorded in the form of autumn grain in the treasury and returned to the big account, so that even if the court traces it, there is no evidence.

"Who knows...... Today, I actually have to explain the whereabouts of the money to the prince in advance...... The old slave is not greedy for a penny. ”
