"Tinglong lived in Xuanhua for a while, and he knew about border affairs. I don't know if you have an idea to break this crisis? Niu Yuan saw that he finally expressed his heart, so he hurriedly asked.

"The lower officials are deeply suspicious of Shi Dudu's suspicion of corruption."

"How?"

"He said before that the household department allocated a cannon casting fee to Xuanhua, and the specific figure was not explained, but it was set at the cost of building forty cannons. I have sent men back before, but they are probably gone; But it doesn't matter, Prime Minister Feng can personally check with the household department, and if there is a discrepancy, you can ask Shi Yiyi for the crime of embezzlement. The evidence is ironclad, and the ministers have no reason to oppose it. Ye Yongjia readjusted his original thoughts.

Niu Yuan listened, his eyes were frozen for a moment, and then he smiled: "Tinglong's idea is brilliant, and the next work needs to rely on you." ”

"Bring it in."

When Comrade Chen gave an order, he saw two family members holding a short man and pulled him indoors.

"Spare your life! Spare your life! The little one is just a slave in Shi Yiyi's mansion, and he has nothing to do with this court politics, I don't know anything! The servant knelt on the ground, wailing and crying, and waved his hand to Chen Shilang again and again.

"Don't panic, I just heard that you are a subordinate of Shi Dudu, so I intend to help. Because I am afraid that you will not comply, I use this strategy, don't blame. Chen Tongpao motioned for others to help him up.

"You and them...... Not a gang? The servant gradually stood up and asked suspiciously.

Comrade Chen shook his head slightly: "What do you say?" Everyone wanted to contribute to the court, hoped for the good of the country, and did not form a gang. Some people may disagree with me for a while, but there are times when they change their attitudes. Don't take it lightly. ”

"Little stupid." The servant felt that he had said the wrong thing.

"You go back and tell Shi Dudu, just say: Liu Xiang has repeatedly postponed the decision, and there are many objections from the ministers, Ye Yongjia can't leave for a while, let him rest assured."

The servant muttered this sentence a few times, and then arched his hand: "The little one has memorized it." ”

Chen Tongpao went to the household department non-stop, and when he saw Shang Shu, he said: "Lord Gao entrusted me to instruct you that the household department often bears the army's fund-raising expenses, and if there is a difference in the check with the border pass, the dispute between the court and the court will arise again." Now that the prime minister is very powerful, Shangshu should check the old text as soon as possible, so as not to make a living for him. ”

Tobe Shangshu snorted contemptuously, stroked his beard and smiled: "Lord Chen is still young, we are comfortable with this, so there is no need to worry so much. How could he be as god-like? We're not afraid! ”

Chen Tongpao already had a plan in his heart, and he didn't persuade too much, and completely followed his meaning: "The adults are confident, which is really ashamed of the juniors." But it's best to be careful. ”

"Well, I've saved it. Go back and do your errand. After Shangshu invited the guests away, he still muttered in the garden: "What a fuss......

Before the sun set, the servant who had been ordered to come to Beijing quickly whipped his horse and galloped across the official roads in the city and rushed to Xuanhua. In fact, he also has a fellow traveler, but he is more advanced than him in Xuanhua. It turned out that this was Ye Yongjia's henchman who had been sent away before, and he unfortunately passed by Ye Yongjia and had already sent things back.

Cai Xianqing retrieved his silver and opened the wooden box, which was stuffed with a note that said the evidence collected by the envoy: 'The household department urged Xuanhua to make cannons three times, and allocated 8,612 taels of silver, far exceeding the price of 40 guns. In addition, Shi asked for the replacement of the armor and took a thousand taels of silver. ’

He was overjoyed when he saw the letter, and he hated that he couldn't let Ye Yongjia know in time, so he had to put the note on the bedside. He didn't dare to use the new money indiscriminately, and gave all the soldiers who had made meritorious contributions in the past to encourage them to continue to look to the court. After he had done all this, the sky gradually darkened—the servant of the Stone Mansion had returned.

Shi Yiyi is now living in the Deputy Governor's Office, and the servant came along the road from Suidi, and as soon as his feet stepped over the threshold, the inner courtyard was instantly lit up, like day.

"How's it going? Can you find out one or two results? Shi Yiyi pulled his shoes and walked up excitedly.

"Master, this time I also received the order of Lord Chen of the Ministry of Officials, it should be of great use!" The servant gasped and grimaced.

"Speak quickly and listen to this official!"

The servant said what Chen Tongtong taught in the courtyard, and Shi Yiyi laughed: "This is really great news!" Our advantages are great, and I feel a lot more at ease! ”

"There is another matter," the servant rolled his eyes, "I heard from the brother of the official post that a new guard who claimed to be a new member of the imperial court came to stand on the side to change horses, and pulled a cart with three horses, and the cart carried a large box, which was very suspicious. It's time to get to Cai Xianqing. ”

Shi Yiyi tightened his eyebrows, and his fingers made a crisp sound: "Hmph, I've been aggrieved for so many days, and I can finally raise my eyebrows and clean up that group of rabbit cubs!" The inward button is far and close to losing momentum, I take the opportunity to show my majesty, who can control it? Immediately go to the barracks and call people, and forcibly search Cai Xianqing's house for me! ”

Cai Xianqing was about to undress and sleep, when she suddenly heard several hurried knocks on the door: "Cai Shilang!" Cai Shilang! Open the door! He was so frightened that the turban on his hand fell off.

He hurriedly went to the window to inspect and saw a group of soldiers fighting with open flames, like a winding fire dragon, reflecting the world outside the window in fiery red.

"What are you doing! Why bother Cai to rest! ”

"I've been ordered to come and investigate your suspicious objects!"

"I'm a dignified member of the capital, what suspicious objects are I hiding?"

"Open the door honestly! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude! "The door was knocking harder and harder.

Cai Xianqing never thought that Shi Yiyi would use a forced search, he didn't take precautions at all, and subconsciously wanted to hide the note, but unfortunately it was too late.

Syllable! The door was kicked open by a soldier, and a dozen sergeants swarmed in, quickly blocking the door.

"Search!" An officer waved his hand, and several soldiers immediately searched everywhere, and one of them reached directly under the bed and touched a large object from the space of the black hole.

"Chest! Box! He shouted excitedly, attracting the attention of his colleagues, who all worked together to drag the box out.

"Dare to quibble......" The officer casually opened the box, and looked left and right by the faint light of the torch, but it was empty.

"Can you go?" Cai Xianqing's expression was slightly stiff.

The soldiers behind the "let's go, let's go......" were already greeting.

"Wait," the officer said, sweeping his eyes to the bed, "the bottom of the bed is searched, what about the bed?" Search it too! ”

Cai Xianqing's face was pale, and he saw a few soldiers gradually approaching the bed, as if he was about to lift the pillow.

"Don't ......" Cai Xianqing hurriedly pushed everyone away, rushed up, and broke the sergeant's hand, but the latter did not move. He was pushed away and staggered to the ground - he knew there was nothing he could do.
