Jiang Mian understood that for Yang Tinghe, a powerful chief assistant, it didn't matter what procedures he followed, even if Yang Tinghe privately let the local government transfer the pig iron, as long as this batch of pig iron could still be used in the northwest armament, then Yang Ting would not only be at fault, but would also gain a higher prestige in the government and the opposition.

Dare to confront the emperor's power for the sake of the country, what kind of integrity is this?

But many things cannot be as smooth sailing as Yang Tinghe envisioned.

Yongping Mansion City.

On that day, Yang Shen went to the prefect's yamen to inquire about the case for a day, and at night he was planning to take a good look at the case file again, to see if the previous attack on the mine was a case of violating the law, or did he truthfully report that Jinyi Wei knew the law and violated the law, or pushed it on the Northeast Diyi as Sun Jiao said......

Just then, there was a sharp knock on the door outside.

Yang Shen got up to open the door, but when he saw Yang Ping coming in with a burly man, he immediately became vigilant.

Yang Ping introduced: "The eldest prince, this is Yongpingwei commanding Li Bo."

Yang Shen frowned: "How did you get here? Didn't it work out? Don't know what to avoid? What's the matter, just talk to someone secretly, what is it like to come here? Come in!"

Yang Shen was afraid of being seen.

Even if they knew that Yang Tinghe secretly appointed Huai Roubo Shi Zan to do this, Yang Shen still had to avoid any dealings with the local garrison, and he could not let the Yang family get involved in this incident of "stealing" pig iron.

When the two entered the room, Yang Ping looked nervous: "Eldest prince, something happened, and the pig iron that was originally transported to various parts of the guard was ...... overnight All gone!"

Yang Shen's body was shocked: "You...... You repeat! So a large amount of pig iron can disappear into thin air?"

"Yes."

Yang Ping had no choice but to turn his gaze to Li Bo on the side.

Li Bo knelt down with a "poof" and kowtowed like pounding garlic: "The incompetence of the lowly position has made people everywhere keep a close eye on it, but overnight, the pig iron hidden everywhere is as empty as if it has never existed, and the people guarding the treasury have no idea about it, and have tortured the guards everywhere, and there is no clue for the time being."

Yang Shen was a little dazed.

With his cleverness and wisdom, he never thought that things would develop to this point.

That's millions of catties of pig iron, not hundreds of catties or thousands of catties, can this evaporate out of thin air? Are you kidding me?

Yang Ping said: "The eldest prince, our people also went to the scene to see, when the iron was transported into the warehouse, our people secretly followed, it stands to reason that there should be no such problems, some places where pig iron is stored, are still in the places where thousands of households are stationed, but I don't know ......why."

Yang Shen thought for a while, and shouted: "There must be an inner ghost! In the past two years of Yongping Mansion, Zhang Bingyong was the prefect, he must have bought your Yongpingwei Military Academy, Li Bo, how did you do this errand?"

Li Bo continued to kneel on the ground, with a look of chagrin: "It has been less than three months since he took office......

Yang Shen was very irritable.

Why didn't you expect this stubble?

He suddenly remembered Zhu Hao's previous worries, Zhu Hao had mentioned that the development of things was a bit unbelievable, just like the trap carefully arranged by Jin Yiwei, and he swore at that time that he would not be afraid of even a trap.

But he didn't expect that this trap was dug so deep that he Yang Shen would probably never be able to climb out after falling into it.

"Look again! I'm going to the prefect's yamen now!"

At the critical juncture, Yang Shen could only think of Zhu Hao.

After all, Zhu Hao is the local prefect, and if he has someone in his hand, someone wants money and money, and if he wants a relationship, if that batch of pig iron is lost, the situation is likely to be difficult to control, so he can only bother Zhu Hao again.

Yang Ping asked, "That'...... Do you want to inform the master?"

Yang Shen said angrily, "Are you crazy? Now it's imperative to get the pig iron back as soon as possible! Now it is no longer a question of who has the pig iron, but someone wants to take this opportunity to attack the father of the family and steal himself! And you Li Bo, if you can't find things back, I think you are waiting to be punished by the imperial court!"

……

……

Yang Shen overnight

Go find Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao was wandering, reading a book in calligraphy, and when he learned that Yang Shen was visiting, he didn't go out to greet him, but asked people to welcome Yang Shen to the study.

"Brother Sister, isn't tonight's dinner party enough? Why don't we have some hot pot tomorrow?" Zhu Hao smiled.

Yang Shen's face darkened: "You can still laugh, that batch of pig iron is lost."

The smile on Zhu Hao's face suddenly froze, and he asked in surprise, "What?"

Yang Shen told Zhu Hao about Yang Ping and Li Boring reporting to him in 1510. ‘

Zhu Hao looked very annoyed after hearing this: "I just received a letter from Sun Lao's court, he asked me not to mess around, saying that this matter may be very important, and let me not do anything that will never be recovered in order to show the minister's festival. How is this ...... Have you checked it all? No inner ghosts? If such a large batch of pig iron is to be transported, it can't be without any traces, right?"

At this time, Yang Shen sat there with a feeling of lovelessness.

Since he arrived at Yongping Mansion, he felt that he was taking the initiative everywhere, but he didn't know that he had already been decided, and he was still ignorant of it.

Yang Shen said: "Now that the investigation is underway, I suspect that the people of Yongpingwei under Li Bo may have been bought by Jinyiwei in the past few years...... Alas! It's because I didn't think it through."

Zhu Hao smiled bitterly and said, "Do you want to say that the front feet of this batch of pig iron were transported to the local guard, and the back feet were transported away by the people of the Jinyi Guard? Where is the iron now? If this batch of iron can't be found, a black cauldron will be detained on your head and me! Especially me, this batch of iron was deducted by me, and it is worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, if Your Majesty pursues it, can I afford to pay it?"

Yang Shen looked at Zhu Hao helplessly, with a strange look in his eyes.

You kid, are you still thinking about the question of whether you can afford to pay or not?

Shouldn't you worry about how Jinyiwei will fix you? Directly arrest you and take you to the Fusi prison in Beizhen, torture you, and make you hand over the pig iron, and then you will have to take off a layer of skin if you don't die.

Zhu Hao said, "I'll let people check."

"Wait."

Yang Shen suddenly thought of something and stopped Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao stood still and looked at Yang Shen.

Yang Shen said, "As you said before, if this matter is really a trap carefully designed by the Jinyi Guard, then from the very beginning, they have calculated everything, and since they are well prepared, they will not let you find it easily......

Zhu Hao frowned: "Brother Yang, what do you mean by this? You don't want me to petition and take all the blame on me alone, right?"

"Huh!?"

Yang Shen looked up at Zhu Hao, as if to say, how can you think of me like this?

Am I the kind of person who dumps the pot?

But after a slight pause, another thought popped up in his mind, how can you kid understand me so well? It would be great if I could sacrifice you to save me and my father.

Yang Shen said, "I don't mean to sacrifice you, it's just that we still have to sit down and think about it in the long run."

Zhu Hao said coldly: "Brother Xiu, I believe you before I told me about the seizure of pig iron, if I had been a little flexible and informed Sun Butang of this matter earlier, he sent a letter to me to state the benefits, maybe I wouldn't have been involved in this matter!" Now that the pig iron is gone, everyone will think that I am a person who has joined forces with the local guard to embezzle this batch of iron, and I am not at a loss for words?"

"You...... Alas!"

Yang Shen didn't expect Zhu Hao to react so violently, but think about it.

In the past, Zhu Hao didn't like to be involved in the rights and wrongs of the imperial court, and he thought that he could be an official and have a stable life, who would have thought that Zhu Hao's wish would be fulfilled, and he finally became the prefect, but he was still at the mercy of several forces as a chess piece, and now such a large batch of pig iron was seized by Zhu Hao and disappeared, which was tantamount to letting it fall into a situation of no return.

This is not a question of whether he can be an official in the future, and whether he can keep his life is another matter.

Zhu Hao said: "This matter must be related to Tang Yin's arrival in Yongping Mansion, he came here, ostensibly to discuss things with me, but in fact, he is setting up

Count me! No, I'm going to see him!"

As he spoke, Zhu Hao got up and was about to leave.

Yang Shen hurriedly blocked the emotional Zhu Hao and said, "If you go like this, you are likely to fall into their trap."

Zhu Hao sighed, "I'm in the trap now!"

"Then I'll go with you!"

Yang Shen said, "After seeing Tang Yin, don't speak, let me come, they will definitely pretend to be confused in front of us!" If there are conditions, or it's okay, but if they don't open conditions, then they will break the net, and you won't admit that there is such a thing."

Zhu Hao said, "Is it too late for me to deny it now?"

Yang Shen gave Zhu Hao a firm nod: "It's too late, you remember, whenever your father is there, he will try his best to protect you!"

"Hmm."

Zhu Hao bowed his head, now he understood, Yang Shen was wrestling in front of him for a long time, and he still planned to sacrifice him and clear up Yang Tinghe's relationship with this matter.

……

……

The inn where Tang Yin stayed.

Because Yang Shen lived in the post station, after Tang Yin and Lu Song arrived in Fucheng, they directly found an inn to live in, and they had nothing to do every day, which was completely different from Yang Shen's attitude of being diligent in investigating cases.

Suddenly heard Zhu Hao and Yang Shen visiting together at night, and he didn't understand what was going on.

Because no one told him that the pig iron was lost.

"You ......"

Tang Yin doesn't like to face Zhu Hao and Yang Shen at the same time.

He is the kind of person who is rectum, he is not good at acting in front of others, and he can't act well if he wants to.

But now that Zhu Hao and Yang Shen are here together, he must abide by the rules and show that he is "not very familiar" with Zhu Hao in front of people.

Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Mr. Tang, I know that you are a good wine, and I specially brought you a century-old wine...... Can you please come in and sit down?"

Tang Yin said, "You wait, I'll call someone first......

"No need." Zhu Hao said, "When we meet our master and apprentice, why should outsiders be present? Besides, Lu Qianhu still has other things to do."

Tang Yin thought to himself, what are you kid playing?

It's just that you came by yourself, and you actually brought Yang Yongxiu with you?

You're going to kill me!

"Come in."

Tang Yin got out of the way and let the two in.

After Zhu Hao and Yang Shen entered the room, they looked around, as if the batch of millions of catties of pig iron was hidden in this room, or there were some important clues in this room.
