Capital.

After the morning of this day, Zhu Si asked Zhang Zuo to call the Hubu Shangshu Sun Jiao to the Ganqing Palace.

Sun Jiao was suddenly summoned by the emperor alone, and he could feel the strange gazes of his colleagues around him.

After arriving at the Ganqing Palace, Zhu Si handed over the two manuscripts to Sun Jiao, who was surprised when he read them.

One is written by Zhu Haolin before he was "arrested" by Jin Yiwei, and the other is from Li Bo's "confession".

"Sun Butang, I want to hear your opinion...... What should I do with this?" Zhu Si asked.

Sun Jiao was very embarrassed, he didn't know what Zhu Hao was doing, at present, in Li Bo's confession, only Huairou Bo Shi Zan was mentioned, and Yang Tinghe was not involved, but the clear-eyed person saw that Shi Zan was pulled out as an intermediary, and the initiator who was really hidden behind it must be Yang Tinghe.

Sun Jiao said, "The old minister doesn't dare to judge him...... Your Majesty, this matter should be handled with caution."

Zhu Si sighed: "I didn't expect that there would be someone in the court guarding and stealing, or a hereditary noble, those millions of catties of iron, if you really want to use it in armaments, you can just write it to me like Sun Qing's family, I am not an unreasonable person, why should I steal?" And now you're still losing it? Why do I think they're just talking to me?"

Sun Jiao didn't know why there was such a result.

It seems that there is only one explanation.

Sun Jiaoxin said that Zhu Hao, this kid, thinks that it is not enough to give Yang Jiefuan a charge without suing, but also let the world know that Yang Jiefuan deceived the king?

So where can you get a large amount of pig iron?

Zhu Sidao: "I discussed with you before that I wanted to plant dirt and blame Di Yi for the attack on the mine, but now it seems that it was actually something done by Yang Ge's old people, right?"

"Your Majesty is cautious, how can this matter be related to Elder Yang Ge?"

Sun Jiao hurriedly excused Yang Tinghe.

"What Sun Qing's family means, is it that I have no conclusive evidence? If Huai Roubo is taken to prison, will he poke Yang Ge Lao out?" Zhu Sidao.

Sun Jiao said: "If this is the case, the dignity of the monarch and the minister will no longer exist, and Your Majesty should let the old minister go and make peace."

Zhu Si nodded with satisfaction: "That's what I think."

Sun Jiao was stunned.

Immediately, he understood that this was what the emperor meant, and it was clearly Zhu Hao's kid who made it bad...... In the past, he liked to use Zhu Hao as a gunman, but now Zhu Hao has learned how to use his old man.

The emperor and Yang Ting, because of a little pig iron, had a conflict, and he had to let his grandson come forward and act as a peacemaker, wandering between the two sides?

Sun Jiaodao: "That...... I don't know what you want, Your Majesty?"

Since I am running on both sides as an intermediary and acting as a messenger for negotiations, then Your Majesty, you should always put forward your side of the conditions, right?

Zhu Si seemed to be thinking about it seriously, and only after a while did he say, "I don't want to delve into it, and now I'm bent on getting that batch of iron back!"

Sun Jiao almost wanted to vomit blood.

What kind of guards steal from themselves, Li Bo has the ability to lose such a large amount of pig iron?

I'm afraid that Jin Yiwei didn't sell a flaw by himself, and then thought of a way to get this batch of iron back, right? Do you want Yang Tinghe to lose money?

"Otherwise, even if Huai Roubo goes bankrupt, he will have to compensate me for the huge losses I have suffered!" Zhu Si said viciously.

Sun Jiaoxin said, could it be that the emperor and Zhu Hao engaged in such a big battle in order to make money?

This is too ***, right?

Don't you want to target Yang Jiefu's career? Let him go to the office early, in exchange for the emperor's refusal to pursue Huai Roubo and Li Bo and others?

Emperor, have you gotten into the money eye now?

Zhu Si said: "Old Sun Butang, don't go to see Elder Yang Ge, just go directly to see Huai Roubo...... With this testimony from Yongpingwei's commander Li Bo, I want to ask him, what is he going to do? When I have seen the moth, so blatantly up and down under my nose, do you think I am transparent? What did he do with the king's law and the system?"

Sun Jiao was speechless, and after a while he asked, "Your Majesty, is the old minister going?"

Zhu Si waved his hand: "Go early and return early."

Sun Jiao almost spurted out another mouthful of old blood.

……

……

Looking for Huai Rou Bo Shi Zhan?

Sun Jiao is not so stupid.

Shi Zan is just running errands for people, and the emperor's goal in this matter is only Shi Zan ?

Obviously aimed at Yang Tinghe.

So after leaving the palace, Sun Jiao was unceremonious and directly sent someone to inform Yang Tinghe, and the two met at Yang Tinghe's private residence in Goldfish Alley.

Sun Jiao is open and honest.

「…… Jiefu, the old man has always thought that you are calm and calm, and there will be no deviation in the big festival, but you know that the batch of pig iron cannot be moved, but you let Yongpingwei's people go out and detain this batch of pig iron, aren't you telling the truth in vain?"

Yang Tinghe smiled faintly and asked, "Your Majesty asked you to tell me this?"

"Nope."

Sun Jiao shook his head and said helplessly, "Your Majesty's intention, let the old man go to Huai Roubo and let me get this batch of pig iron back from him, no matter how it is, even if it makes his family bankrupt."

The drunkard does not mean to drink.

Yang Tinghe didn't believe that the emperor dug such a big pit just for tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Sun Jiaodao: "Now you have not only involved Huai Roubo and Yongpingwei in commanding affairs, but even Jingdao has been pitted by you."

Sun Jiao's meaning, I don't care about others, I only care about the safety of my son-in-law Zhu Hao.

Yang Tinghe said with a straight face: "If it weren't for Jingdao to detain this batch of pig iron and inform the dogs, why would there be so many incidents now?"

Sun Jiao's eyes widened: "Listening to the meaning of your words, do you still have to rely on Jingdao? Didn't we all say yes before, and now he won't be at your disposal? Didn't you think about it before you asked Huai Roubo to do something, if this matter happened to the east window, you could stay out of it?"

These words made Yang Tinghe very annoyed.

Originally, Li Bo was asked to detain this batch of pig iron, and then negotiate with the emperor, but the emperor had no way at all.

In fact, in order to prevent the emperor from directly transferring this batch of pig iron to build trains and railways, to cook raw rice and mature rice, and to ask for materials that must be within the control of civil officials, who knew that this batch of pig iron would disappear out of thin air? So far, Yang Tinghe has not even figured out how exactly what happened.

Of course, Yang Tinghe also suspected that Zhu Hao and Li Bo were secretly playing ghosts, but there seems to be no direct evidence for this kind of thing.

The emperor has now begun to make moves, he only has suspicions, and he can't go to Yongping Mansion to investigate in person, and he hasn't interrogated several important people, if he really gets the right summons to the court, how should he say this?

Only to say the doubts in his heart, can he convince the public?

Yang Tinghe said: "It's just a batch of pig iron, so don't make a big fuss."

Sun Jiaodao: "It's not a big deal, but it's not small, although Your Majesty really doesn't make a big fuss about it now, and you don't even mention it in the court, just let me go and collect debts from the Shi family, what do you call it?"

Yang Tinghe didn't want to continue to entangle with Sun Jiao, and said, "It was you who proposed to return that batch of pig iron to the household department in the name of the household department, and now that batch of pig iron is being hidden, if you don't come forward, who else can it be?"

Sun Jiao listened.

Yang Jiefu, what do you mean by this, do you want to care? Really let me go and collect debts from Shi Zhan, right? But don't regret it!

Sun Jiaodao: "Okay, I'll go and collect debts from the Shi family, hoping that Huai Roubo can abide by the principles and not poke you out!" Or even if he doesn't poke you out, and the matter spreads, I don't think there is anyone in the world who doesn't know that you did it! You have to do it yourself!"

After speaking, Sun Jiao brushed his sleeves and left.

……

……

Sun Jiao has a temper.

is no longer the dumb old minister who likes to be a grass on the wall in the past, but has become a faction leader who can influence the situation and call for wind and rain in the court.

Sun Jiao looked back, but he was a little annoyed by his performance.

Why do you want to blow your beard and stare at the first assistant university scholar? Does this do you the slightest good? When did he become so cityless that he would repeatedly break the principle?

That's right!

It started with knowing Zhu Hao's kid!

When I returned to the court, I was obviously kidnapped by the Empress Dowager Jiang, and I never thought of being a good official, even if I was forced to be a household secretary, I was also ready to be a monk for a day and hit the clock for a day, and I was a gangster, but since I met Zhu Hao, the world has changed, and my mentality has also changed, and now I actually lost my temper in front of the first assistant scholar and scolded Yang Jiefu for a bloody squirt!

I'm really blinded by lard.

Right! Zhu Hao's kid is lard!

This kid is very slippery.

Sun Jiao spoke angrily in front of Yang Tinghe, saying that he was going to Shi Zan to collect debts, but after leaving Yang's mansion, he calmed down and understood that even if he was the emperor, the purpose was not simply to let him collect debts.

Mission accomplished!

The rest of the matter depends on how Yang Tinghe communicates with Shi Zhan, and after they discuss it, if necessary, I will go to Shi Zhan's mansion again, otherwise I will pretend to forget that there is such a thing, unless the emperor urges me.

……

……

Yang Tinghe went to see Shi Zan first that afternoon.

When Shi Zhan learned that the pig iron disappeared out of thin air, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, if he hadn't avoided too much contact with the Chinese officials of the DPRK before, he would have asked Yang Tinghe to mediate.

"Zhongtang, you must be the master of the contemptible people."

Shi Zan sent Yang Tinghe to kneel.

Yang Tinghe didn't have any nervousness, perhaps in his opinion, this matter was far from the point of burning his eyebrows, and he was relieved: "At present, it seems that Li Bo is treacherous and secretly sent someone to smuggle that batch of pig iron to Jinyiwei, which also explains why Jinyiwei can play the trick of stealing beams and changing pillars under the nose of the local guard."

Shi Zan said, "I wonder if the people have been captured by the Jinyi Guards now? He...... If we continue to expose it, will it ......?"

Yang Tinghe said coldly, "You mentioned it to him, I asked you to do this?"

Shi Zan smiled bitterly.

Do you need to tell Li Bo about this kind of thing? Even if he doesn't say it, Li Bo understands that I, a Huai Roubo, have the authority to order him to do this? Your strip is still in my hand!"

"No evidence shall be kept." Yang Tinghe said.

Shi Zan understood as soon as he heard it, and Yang Tinghe came to let him destroy the note, so that the other party could cut off all contact with this matter.
