Chapter 160: The Tax and Silver Incident

He only needs to come up with ideas, and Ye Qingying is responsible for implementing them.

"Yes, it's our money." When Ye Qingying heard this, her face showed a happy color.

The meaning of Jiang Chao's words was already obvious, and he decided to cooperate with her in this matter.

As for how to cooperate, Jiang Chao handed it over to Song Ningxue to talk to Ye Qingying.

Ye Qingying was a little disappointed in her heart, in fact, she was more willing to talk to Jiang Chao, so that she could have more alone time with Jiang Chao.

It's a pity that Jiang Chao obviously doesn't seem to want to take care of things.

Just when Ye Qingying wanted to discuss the bra with Jiang Chao again, a family member came over, and he saluted Jiang Chao and said:

"Master Jiang, my lord is back and wants to invite you over."

When Jiang Chao heard this, his eyes were a little strange. He nodded and followed this person to the study of Murong Palace.

When he came to the study, Murong Palace had already returned, he was writing something in front of the bookcase, and it was the fifth child standing on the side.

At this time, Lao Wu's gaze at Jiang Chao was filled with an indescribable awe. was able to kill Zheng Xin and other five masters with his own strength, and Jiang Chao's strength made him jealous.

"Uncle, do you have something to do with me?!" Jiang Chao looked at Murong Palace and asked.

Murong Gong looked up at Jiang Chao, nodded and walked out, leading Jiang Chao to the side of the chair and sitting down, his expression solemn.

"Virtuous nephew, uncle is afraid that he has encountered a real problem this time. If this matter is not resolved, my uncle is afraid that he will be investigated and dealt with in prison, and even end up with a full house of beheadings. ”

When Jiang Chao heard this, he frowned and looked at Murong Palace, asking with a smile in his eyes.

"Uncle, what's going on?!"

When Murong Palace heard this, he glanced at Jiang Chao, and he opened his mouth and said: "The summer harvest is imminent, and the tax silver of the court has also arrived at the time of delivery, just three days ago, we sent people to send the tax silver to Kyoto, but it can be ......"

Murong Gong told Jiang Chao what had happened.

Jiang Chao also heard a rough idea.

The prefecture was responsible for collecting taxes and silver from various places, and finally, the prefecture was transported to the capital together.

Although this is considered a summer tax, the summer tax is generally sent to the capital in advance.

Today's tax is escorted by the Zhoufu army according to the usual practice, and this time it should have been escorted by Beiying, which belonged to Huangcheng, but Huangcheng directly threw the transfer to Dongying the day after taking over the tax silver.

At that time, Murong Gong felt that there was a problem, so he personally went to check the tax silver, and all the tax silver was checked by box. There's nothing wrong with that.

But not long after Dongying escorted the tax silver out of Zhoufu yesterday, he was attacked by the White Lotus Sect, and the tax silver was also robbed.

The most strange thing for them was that when the tax money was robbed, the silver box suddenly exploded. After the explosion, the tax silver of three million taels disappeared.

These three million taels are the summer tax silver paid by Ningzhou Mansion, and once they can't be recovered, as the Murong Palace of Zhizhou, they will be the first to be held accountable.

The dismissal of officials is small, and if it is not done well, it may be beheaded all over the house.

He didn't know what the problem was, even if the silver box exploded, it was impossible for the silver to blow up and not be found.

Even if he knew that Huang Cheng was a ghost, he just didn't know how Huang Cheng was a ghost, and where did the tax money go?

When Jiang Chao heard this, his eyes were strange, and he asked Murong Gong, "Uncle, has the silver box touched the water?!" ”

His words made Murong Gong's face full of shock, and he looked at Jiang Chao with disbelief and said, "How does the virtuous nephew know that the silver box has touched the water?!" ”

After the shock, he didn't dare to hide it. Hurriedly said urgently:

"Not far from the Dongying sergeant who escorted the silver two out of Zhoufu, he was attacked by bandits from the White Lotus Sect in Bac Ninh County, and the strange thing is that those bandits did not snatch the silver box, but pushed the silver box into the river next to it, and then, there was an explosion."

"Later, I had people search the river, but they didn't find a single tael of silver. I'm still wondering that there aren't many of them, and even if they can steal the silver, it's the big problem to get it away. They didn't look like they were here to steal the money, but more like they were here to wreak havoc. ”

"The bandits fled in a swarm when the silver exploded."

When Jiang Chao heard this, his face showed a sense of understanding, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly: "Uncle, are the soldiers guarding the treasury of the treasury still from Dongying now!?" ”

"For the time being, though, we'll change the guard tonight. It was taken over by Beiying in Huangcheng. What's wrong?! Virtuous nephew, does this have anything to do with the loss of tax silver?! ”

Murong Gong didn't understand the meaning of Jiang Chao's words. Hurriedly asked out loud.

When Jiang Chao heard this, he smiled mysteriously and said, "Uncle, let's go to the treasury now, after this incident, my uncle may be able to control Beiying." ”

When Murong Gong heard this, his face showed a sense of astonishment, the matter of taxes and silver had not been resolved, but Jiang Chao now told him that he could still control Beiying, how could this be possible.

When the fifth child on the side heard this, he pursed his lips disdainfully, feeling that Jiang Chao was bragging here.

How can Beiying say that it is controlled?! If he could easily control it, his family would not have waited until now.

If Jiang Chao still wanted to control Beiying by controlling Xiying, he would directly put Murong Palace into it.

Compared with Zheng Xinlai, Huang Cheng is more difficult to solve. Zheng Xin: This is also evidenced by Zheng Shijing's confession, as well as the confessions of those Zheng An's subordinates arrested in Xiying.

But on Huangcheng's side, what excuse will you use to take him down?! Say he rebelled?! First of all, King Yuan's side will not let him get his wish.

Murong was also very skeptical, but he decided to believe Jiang Chao, and with a nod, he took Jiang Chao and Lao Wu out of the house.

A group of three people rode to the location of the treasury, which is a huge warehouse land, located in the southern city of Zhoufu, where there are many warehouses.

There were ordnance, food, and all sorts of supplies. Tax silver was originally stored separately in a warehouse.

The soldiers guarding the treasury are changed every three days, because the western camp has been merged, and the duty of three shifts has been replaced by two shifts.

There were 100 officers and soldiers on duty in the treasury, and the commander of the army led by him was a strong man in his thirties.

When he saw Murong Gong coming over in person, he hurriedly greeted him.

"My lord, why are you here?! In two hours, we're going to change the guard. Wu Chang hurriedly said to Murong Palace.

When Murong Gong heard this, he nodded to him and didn't say anything, but looked at Jiang Chao.

Jiang Chao scanned the surrounding terrain as he walked towards the treasury in front of him where the tax silver was kept. Murong Gong hurriedly followed.

The Wu Commander looked at Jiang Chao in confusion, with a strange look in his eyes, but he saw that Zhizhou had to look at Jiang Chao's face and act, and he didn't dare to make a mistake for a while.

The storeroom had been emptied by this time, and there was nothing left except for the traces of the boxes that had been placed on the floor.

There is no way to hide silver in such an empty warehouse.
