There was some rustling sound of clothes rubbing against each other in the crowd, but other than that, there was no sound.

The afterglow of the setting sun envelops the silent and eerie atmosphere of the crowd.

At this time, Qin Yang came back, leaned close to Ye Tianhuai's ear and said, "Your Majesty, people are tied up." ”

Ye Qianhuai nodded, her expression was relaxed, it seemed that everything was as she expected, and she didn't feel tricky.

She gestured to the crowd in front of her with her gaze, and said to Qin Yang: "Qin Yang, you pick a clever one from here, let him go to the palace for a trip, and send a message to the inner court, saying that the court will be changed from the Taihe Hall to the warehouse on the plateau tomorrow morning, and let Li Baoquan inform the hundred officials." ”

Although she spoke to Qin Yang, her voice was not lowered, and it was particularly clear in the silent crowd.

At this moment, almost everyone showed a look of surprise.

Whether it is in the history of Dajing or the previous dynasty, there has never been a precedent that the previous dynasty was not in the palace hall. Although the warehouse is on the outskirts of Beijing, it is still several miles away from the nearest city gate.

It's really unheard of and ridiculous.

An official wearing a silk shirt close to Ye Tianhuai couldn't help asking, "Is Your Majesty going to stay in the warehouse today?" ”

Ye Tianhuai nodded and said seriously: "The door of this warehouse can't be opened for a day, so I will stay here for a day." ”

She spoke very naturally, as if she had no idea what was going on in surprise from the crowd around her.

Only Qin Yang's face was as usual, he immediately went to the crowd to find a soldier who was not tall, took down the token he was carrying and gave him a few words, and let the man go.

Seeing that no one stood up to open a position, Ye Tianhuai stretched his muscles and bones, and said lazily: "It's really a little hot this day, let's find a place for me to sleep for a while." Go about your own business, too. ”

There is a public hall in the warehouse, and there are several rooms in the back, which is usually the office and rest place of the officials. Although it is neat, compared to the imperial palace, it can be called simple.

"Your Majesty, you will settle your grievances here." After Xue Song was dismissed on the spot by Ye Qianhuai, the head of Kuraba took over his position to accompany the emperor.

"It doesn't matter. You go get busy. ”

The head of the charge immediately saluted and retired, without half a politeness.

The example of Xue Song is first. For this strange emperor, he felt that accompanying the king was like accompanying the tiger, and he didn't want to stay longer for a moment.

The hut was quiet for a while, but Ye Tianhuai didn't mean to take a nap. She walked around the room, picking up the bookshelves and the things on the desk from time to time.

"Qin Yang, you go outside and see if there is any change." Ye Qianhuai commanded, and her face sank again.

Although Qin Yang has a wooden brain, he is fortunately very obedient. For Ye Qianhuai's instructions, he never thought about it much, and let him do whatever he wanted.

After he left, Ye Qianhuai was the only one left in the house. This room sits north and faces south, and it is a little hot after being exposed to the sun for a day.

She sat down on a chair of eight immortals, slowly fiddling with the wrench on the thumb of her left hand, and fell into deep thought.

The warehouse is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Households, and the appointment of the governor of the warehouse is inseparable from the Ministry of Officials, and both the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Officials are under the blind management of Chen Yuansi.

If there is a problem with the grain storage in the warehouse, then Chen Yuansi must not be able to pick it up. Even if you can't find him in the end, you will definitely find out about his protégé.

Now the battle with Beidi is the top priority of the imperial court, not only Ye Tianhuai, the emperor, but also the officials and the people are also staring at the movement in the north. At this time, Kuraba sent adulterated rations to the front line, so that the military department took the handle and sued him.

Ye Qianhuai frowned.

With Chen Yuansi's sleek and cautious personality, it stands to reason that such a mistake should not be made.

In any case, as Ye Qianhuai saw today, eighty percent of the grain in the granary was indeed problematic. Moreover, I am afraid that this problem has been around for a long time.

She, the emperor, came forward to ask for it, and no one below dared to open a position. It can be seen that the consequences of opening the warehouse door are more dangerous than resisting the will.

Or, in Xue Song's eyes, she is still an emperor with no prestige to fool.

Thinking of this, a sneer appeared on the corner of Ye Tianhuai's mouth.

Before she came, she only heard He Qingchang and Tao Yuan say that no one was held accountable for the death of a soldier in the military department here, so she felt that this warehouse was ironclad, and she was afraid that the water was very deep.

Now that I have come in person, I feel that the water is deeper.

If you don't muddy this pool, I'm afraid that no matter how much you investigate, you will still be perfunctory by them. Where did the grain go to the warehouse, whose pockets did the money go into, and how many people did not report it, and nothing could be found.

She insisted on staying here, and asked Li Baoquan to send a message to the hundred officials, just to muddy the water.

If nothing else, she doesn't have to wait until tomorrow morning, she will be able to meet many officials, including Chen Yuansi and Gu Shihai, on the hill today.

And the most anxious among them are naturally the ones who profit from the exchange of military rations.

All she had to do now was wait.

Wait for them to jump out on their own.

At this moment, there were three knocks on the door.

The voice is not heavy, and it is somewhat rapid.

Ye Qianhuai was a little puzzled: The warehouse is so big, Qin Yang came back so soon?

"Come in." She said in a deep voice.

The door of the house was pushed open, but it was not Qin Yang.

It was a thin man wearing a blue cloth shirt, he was holding a pot of hot tea in his hand, and as soon as he stepped into the door, he gave a full salute to Ye Tianhuai, and said in a loud voice: "The lower officials see Your Majesty, and Lord Lu, who is in charge, instructed the lower officials to come and serve a pot of hot tea to Your Majesty." ”

After speaking, before Ye Qian could respond, he turned around and closed the door of the house.

Ye Qianhuai squinted his eyes slightly, his right hand subconsciously pressed the saber he wore on his waist when he left the palace, his body stiffened slightly, and the whole person became vigilant.

His action of closing the door made Ye Tianhuai vigilant: no matter how deep the water in this warehouse is, it will not be able to treat her as an emperor with a knife, right?

Just when she was puzzled, she saw the man take two steps towards her with a panicked expression, and suddenly knelt down on his knees in front of her, and the teapot in his hand rested on the ground in front of him.

He kowtowed to Ye Tianhuai, and said with a cry: "Please Your Majesty save the villain!" ”

He knelt on the ground, his voice muffled, but he could still hear a little unsettled fear.

Ye Tianhuai frowned, looked him up and down, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

The man raised his head and replied tremblingly: "Back to Your Majesty, the villain's name is Zhang Genggui, his ancestor is from Zhongzhou, and he was originally a clerk in the warehouse of the warehouse, some time ago because Wang Yunzhong died in the fire, Lord Xue promoted the villain to be the master of the warehouse......

His voice suddenly lowered, as if he remembered something terrible, and even stopped talking.

Ye Tianhuai looked at him and stopped, and said, "From the document to the main book, it has been promoted three levels in a row, and Xue Song wants to reuse you." ”

He seemed to be stimulated by the word "reuse", and suddenly came back to his senses, and cried again, saying, "He wants the villain to be a substitute for the dead!" Your Majesty, please save the villain! ”

After saying that, he kowtowed again.
