"Pieces of paper?"

Zhao Shuo touched it, and his star eyes instantly fell on Yang Tianhua like a sharp arrow.

"How do you explain that?"

"This is the more than one hundred and sixty sets of elite armor you are talking about? Why is there such a huge difference in quality? ”

"Qi Yu, test the rest of the fish scale armor."

"Your Majesty doesn't need to test it, only the one that Lord Yang took out is genuine."

"Everything else is very different, made of the same inferior materials."

Uncle Zhang quickly checked most of the armor at this time, and gave a relatively reliable answer.

Zhao Shuo's face was gloomy.

Then the problem is obvious.

"Yang Aiqing?!"

"Wechen...... The minister is here. ”

Yang Tianhua was already sweating.

"Tell me, is it because my Great Song's sword is too sharp, or is it something else?"

Thump!

Yang Tianhua's knees weakened, and he immediately fell to the ground, and said incoherently: "Your Majesty is angry." ”

"Anger? I want to know why there is a situation of indiscriminate filling? My Great Song Armament Division is all inferior armor, do you want to cut off the fortunes of my Great Song Dynasty? ”

"Your Majesty spares your life, your ......"

"Shut up, I don't want to hear your prayers, I want the truth."

"But you, as the head of the Armaments Division, how did you explain it to me?"

"What is the use of me keeping you such wicked people?!"

Yang Tianhua was so frightened that his face was bloodless, and his body trembled violently.

He seemed to be about to say something, but he looked left and right at the many craftsmen around him, and finally did not speak.

Zhao Shuo already knew that he was afraid, so he only left Uncle Zhang and Qi Yu at night.

Signal others to stay away.

When everyone retreated, there were only four people left in the empty armor pavilion.

At this time, Zhao Shuo looked at Yang Tianhua and asked, "I give you one last chance, if you are not honest, I want you to lose your head." ”

However, even if Zhao Shuo made such a threat.

Yang Tianhua was still a little hesitant.

It seems that it is difficult to ride a tiger and I am at a loss.

Zhao Shuo thought about it with his feet and neck, and knew that Yang Tianhua still didn't have the courage to be greedy on the weapon armor.

Because since there was a crack in the Song-Liao Alliance, since the Jin State began to attack the Liao State in the past few years.

Song Huizong had already begun to pay attention to the situation of the armament depot.

To say that he is not without nothing.

He also gave positive guidance on many things.

However, Song Huizong is still a model of valuing small profits and losing great righteousness.

It seems that he did not dare to say.

That's not enough threats!

Zhao Shuo's face was tense, and he said coldly: "Yang Tianhua, you want to follow in the footsteps of the demon Guo Jing and the minister Xu Bingzhe, right?" If that's the case, then I'll fulfill you, Qi Yu, you go to Xuanhua Mansion to check Lord Yang's family, remember, within the nine clans, there is no exception! ”

Plain words, but revealing great killing intent.

Qi Yu naturally knew that Zhao Shuo was deliberately deceiving Yang Tianhua.

As a professional guard, you must be good at looking at things from the perspective of the big picture.

Really!

Without waiting for Qi Yu to turn around, Yang Tianhua sobbed intermittently: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty spares your life, Weichen said......"

"Say it!"

Zhao Shuo walked over to a chair and sat down.

Yang Tianhua kept wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead, and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, the Armaments Department that Weichen took over three years ago is also the batch of inferior goods that were discovered three years ago. ”

"Really? Then why didn't you report it at the time? ”

Zhao Shuo asked.

"The minister was going to report it, but at that time, it was Master Cai Jing who restrained his humble position."

"I told Taishi Cai, but he said that the time was not ripe at that time, saying that there were people in the Great Song Dynasty who were in rebellion, and they were just in time for our dynasty to destroy Liao with the Jin people. Taishi Cai asked the lowly to put state affairs first, and not to be entangled anymore. ”

"Therefore, there is nothing to be done about it."

The more Yang Tianhua spoke, the more he showed a very aggrieved look.

It's just that he is acting like this, which is obviously a miscalculation.

Because, Cai Jing is already cold.

For Zhao Shuo, Yang Tianhua just wanted to put the blame on the dead who had decayed.

"Yang Tianhua, you are not honest, although Cai Jing is a traitor, he has never managed an arsenal, if what I said is correct, it should be a high lieutenant, right?"

"Yes, what Your Majesty said is very true, when the commander of the military department is Captain Gao."

"Qi Yu, you go and find Gao Yu and let him confront Yang Tianhua face to face."

Zhao Shuo glanced at Qi Yu.

At this time, Yang Tianhua couldn't hold back at all.

It stands to reason that as the officer in charge of the Armaments Department, he had to report something to the lieutenant as soon as something happened.

But the reality of the year was not the same at all.

He was indeed looking for Gao Yu, but before he could report the situation to Gao Yu, someone found him first.

That person is the king of Yuncheng of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Kai.

Now that he heard that the emperor was going to confront him face to face, Yang Tianhua no longer concealed it, but said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, these armors are coordinated by King Yun. ”

Zhao Kai?!

Although Zhao Shuo knew that Zhao Kai had a lot of opinions about himself, but he was involved in the corruption of the Armaments Department?

This situation was really something that Zhao Shuo had never expected.

"Are you sure it's him?"

Zhao Shuo frowned, and emphasized again: "You don't want to buckle your hat indiscriminately in this kind of thing. ”

"You know, King Yun is still in Bianliang City."

Zhao Shuo had to beware of Yang Tianhua's idea of provoking his relationship with Zhao Kai.

That's why he emphasized it once.

Yang Tianhua's head was like pounding garlic, and he said sincerely: "Wechen is sure, if Wechen has a lie, he is willing to receive a thousand cuts." ”

Zhao Shuo's face became more and more serious.

It seems to be true.

But there was one thing he was puzzled about.

Why did Zhao Kai do such a self-destructive thing on the Great Wall?

Song Huizong was in power at the time, and Zhao Kai was still Song Huizong's favorite third son.

"Lord Yang, did he do this in the first place, did he want to rebel or bury the world of my Great Song Dynasty?"

Zhao Shuo's question was very serious.

The significance behind it is also quite significant.

Yang Tianhua replied hesitantly: "I don't know about it, and I don't dare to speculate." However, what Weichen knows is that His Royal Highness King Yun wants to make money. ”

"According to the silver taels allocated by the imperial treasury, a pair of real fish scale armor requires three hundred taels of silver."

"And the cloth armor soaked in soy sauce and the inferior fish scales made from cats and tigers only cost five taels of silver......"

Hearing this, Zhao Shuo only felt that his chest was about to explode.

Corruption!

The dignified son of Song Huizong was corrupt when the country was dying.

This is a big fortune!

The key is that Zhao Shuo looked through the expenditures of the treasury, and the account books clearly recorded that the annual output of the Great Song Dynasty Armaments Department was 5,000 sets of fish scale armor!

For this reason, the State Treasury has to allocate 1.5 million taels of silver to the Armaments Department every year for the item of fish scale armor alone.

This has been going on for three years!

and for three years, it was four and a half million taels of silver.
