"What kind of ghost? You make it clear. Ye Qian said.

Zhang Genggui raised his head and said, "Most of the grain on the plateau is rice, and it must be turned over and dried before storage. But the speed of drying is far from keeping up with the speed of grain storage, so there is a yellow top cover warehouse in the north, which is specially used to collect grain and dry, and the new grain will be stored there first, and then classified and stored after the drying is completed. ”

"Two months after the autumn harvest is the time to store grain, and after this time, it stands to reason that there will be no more grain trucks coming in and out. But in the warehouse where the grain is dried, there are grain trucks coming in and out all year round. At the beginning of each month, there will be a convoy in and out to transport grain, and more than a dozen groups of convoys pull overnight, each time unloading and loading goods from that warehouse. ”

"How much grain can a convoy of more than a dozen groups pull?" Ye Qianhuai has no concept of this.

"If it's full, it's about 10,000 stones." Zhang Genggui said.

"Ten thousand stones?" Ye Tianhuai exclaimed.

There are only 2 million stone of grain in the entire warehouse, and more than 10,000 stone will be pulled away overnight, and if you use the usual farmer's car, it will cost hundreds of cars.

"The entry and exit of these grains was recorded in the account books of the treasury as the old grain was exchanged for the new, and the lower officials always believed it to be true. However, after thinking about it recently, the barn where the grain was dried was full of new grain that had not yet been turned over, where was there any old grain? Zhang Genggui said.

He swore by it, but Ye Tianhuai heard something strange.

Since it is "always believed to be true", why do you suddenly become suspicious?

Ye Qianhuai asked, "Have you checked the old for new food?" ”

Zhang Genggui shook his head and said, "The people who protect the grain are all Governor Xue's personal soldiers, and others can't get close." ”

"Then how do you know that those grain teams are not in and out of the old for the new?"

Zhang Genggui heard the suspicion in Ye Tianhuai's words, his heart suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly cried: "Your Majesty, the lower officials have heard it with their own ears, and they can't be wrong." ”

"Where did you hear that?" Ye Qianhuai asked.

Zhang Genggui looked embarrassed, hesitated and refused to speak, as if he was thinking about what could be said and what could not be said.

Ye Tianhuai's gaze never moved away from him, and when he saw that he had scruples, he said: "If you know everything, I will forgive you for your innocence." But if you hide it, you are deceiving the king. ”

This Zhang Genggui is obviously a coward, as soon as he heard the word "bullying the king", his body fell to the ground again, and he said quickly: "The lower official must know everything, and he will never dare to hide it!" Although Xiaguan is not as knowledgeable as the adults in Beijing, he has also read books for a few years and knows the truth of dealing with people. After the lower official was promoted by Governor Xue, he thought...... If you want to know the kindness, you will bring some mountain goods from your hometown and want to find an opportunity to give them to Governor Xue......"

Dajing explicitly prohibits bribery of officials, and Zhang Genggui naturally knows this, so when he says this, he is very euphemistic.

After he finished speaking, he cautiously looked at Xia Ye Qianhuai's complexion, and saw that her face was as usual, without anger, so he relieved his heart and continued: "Governor Xue is busy with official business on weekdays, and there are always people coming and going around him, and Xia Guan has never been able to find a suitable opportunity, so he found a time when there was no one to wait for him in his room. As a result, I didn't expect that Governor Xue had a guest that day, and the lower official was waiting in the house, and he heard Governor Xue and the guest talking while walking towards the house, and they happened to mention the name of the lower official, and the lower official was nervous for a while, so he hid. ”

"What do they say about you?"

"They talked for a long time. Governor Xue first said that Xia Guan was a safe person, so that the other party could rest assured. Later...... Let's talk about Wang Yunzhong's granary again......"

As he spoke, his voice changed, as if he remembered something terrible.

Seeing that he was hesitant, Ye said: "What they say, you tell me word for word, I am the master for you." ”

"Your Majesty, they extinguished the king's book, and they also set the fire in the granary! They said...... They said that Wang Yunzhong did not know what to do inside and outside, and also said that he deliberately allocated the problematic grain in the warehouse and sent it to the military headquarters in order to make the matter bigger, and they also said...... He also said that those who knew about it were disposed of in the fire...... By the way, they also said that in case of the East Window incident, they would let the lower officials take the blame, and even the fake accounts signed and drawn were done! Your Majesty, Xia Guan is really just a small paperwork, and he doesn't know it! ”

He looked frightened, and the more he spoke, the faster he spoke, as if some fierce god was chasing after him, and at the end his eyes were filled with tears, obviously frightened.

Ye Qianhuai's face turned from sunny to cloudy, and turned sharply, so black that it couldn't be darker anymore.

"Who is talking to Xue Song? DID YOU KNOW? ”

Zhang Genggui shook his head again and again: "I don't know, it's not a person in the warehouse." Xia Guan was in the back room, he didn't dare to poke his head out, and he didn't see the appearance of the person who came. ”

He pondered for a while, and then said: "But the lower official heard Governor Xue call him 'Gongzi', and his attitude was very respectful, it was that Gongzi who was ordering him. Also, the boy repeatedly mentioned that he must not delay the routine delivery of grain by the grain team next month. ”

Ye Qianhuai frowned.

The governor of Kuraba is a member of the imperial court, and there are not many people who can tell him to do things like this, looking at the entire Shengjing. This person is most likely the backer behind Xue Song, and he is also the biggest beneficiary in the adulteration of the granary.

"Heh, is it 'routine' to transport grain......" Ye Tianhuai sneered and muttered.

"Your Majesty, the lower officials are really wronged!" Seeing Ye Tianhuai's expression change sharply, Zhang Genggui immediately kowtowed and shouted injustice.

As soon as he shouted, Ye Qianhuai moved his gaze back to him.

"Why don't you report these things to the Yamen and the Criminal Department?" Ye Qianhuai asked.

Zhang Genggui was stunned for a moment, and it seemed that he had never thought about reporting to the official.

He complained bitterly: "Your Majesty, the king has the evidence in his hand that they have reversed the official grain, and the death is not clear, and the documents of the lower official are a small eight-grade document, and there is no basis to sue the third-grade master, where is there anyone to deal with it?" If they know it to Governor Xue, where will the lower officials still have a way to live? ”

Ye Qianhuai frowned.

Seeing the change in Ye Tianhuai's expression, Zhang Genggui immediately said: "Your Majesty, you are different from them, you are the body of a real dragon, with fiery eyes, you must be able to see the truth of what the lower officials say." Your Majesty, the lower officials do not seek to be promoted and make a fortune, nor do they want to be the governor of the warehouse, they only ask Your Majesty to give the lower officials a clean slate. ”

After saying that, he kowtowed again.

His words were earnest, and he could hear that he really didn't want to be the governor of this warehouse.

Ye Tianhuai sighed lightly, this three-grade warehouse governor, in his eyes, was only afraid of a terrible hot potato.

This Zhang Genggui is probably the only person who knows now, he is very critical to this case, Ye Tianhuai was thinking about how to deal with him, and the door of the house was suddenly banged.
