The morning sun is sprinkled on Shangyang Palace, and the entire hall looks brilliant. Standing at the highest point of Shangyang Palace, you can clearly see a wide avenue leading straight through.

A group of guards hurried towards the palace, and when they saw it, they immediately bowed their heads or went elsewhere to make way for them. It seems that even the clear sky has become a little hazy at this moment.

After all these figures disappeared, some whispers came.

"Who's going to be unlucky again?"

"I don't know, there are always some people who don't have a long memory."

"Your Majesty!" Li Chong, the secret guard, stepped forward and bowed down and said, "I have found a hundred people who have just returned from their labor and returned from the Great Wall. ”

"What did you ask?" Wang Luo asked.

"Your Majesty's guess is right, and sure enough, there is a problem with the grain and grass." Li Chongdao.

"The ministers were instructed by His Majesty to inquire about these people, and they heard from them that the food they had come to serve in the service was indeed from the government, but that there was a lot of bran, sand, and stones mixed in with these grains, and there was almost no salt, and there was not enough food when they left, and many of them were moldy grains."

"What about the grain? Show me. ”

"Here." As he spoke, Li Chong took off a pocket around his waist and opened it.

A musty smell appeared in the air, and I saw that there were a lot of black mildew spots on the grain in the pocket, in addition, there were a lot of stones and gravel in these grains, Wang Luo only made a rough estimate, almost half of them.

"Have you weighed how many gravels are in this grain?"

"Back to Your Majesty, three to four percent."

"yes, that's good." Wang Luo laughed angrily: "That's how they fooled the people and me? ”

The attendants in the hall immediately fell to their knees, trembling.

"Your Majesty is angry!"

"Immediately send someone to check the granaries of all parts of the country!" Wang Luo said: "Those who dare to block it will take it directly, and send someone to call the inspection of the imperial history over, and all of them will stay there and wait." ”

Wang Luo said in a cold tone: "Take my edict and tiger talisman, and mobilize five thousand troops to go together." ”

Wang Luo knows very well that if there is a problem with the granary, then it means that there is also a problem with the inspection of the imperial history, and it is not only the local heroes who can pull these people into the water.

"Whoa!"

With Wang Luo's order, more than a dozen teams of cavalry quickly left Luoyang and galloped away, and at the same time, there was a commotion in the barracks, and an army of 5,000 people also left the camp.

The speed of the secret guard is very fast, and after receiving the edict, they came to Handan as soon as possible, and then controlled all the granaries in Handan, and then sent people to prepare to inventory the granaries.

Seeing this posture, the governor of the grain field turned pale with fright.

"Zhao Chang Ling, Your Majesty has an order, let me check the granary, Zhao Chang Ling open the warehouse!"

Zhao Cangling looked at the five people standing with swords in front of him, his expression was flustered, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Shangguan, which one to open?" ”

"As long as there is food, all open!"

Zhao Cangling was reluctant in his heart, but looking at the appearance of these people, as long as he refused a little, he would have a sword in the next moment. Zhao Cangling had to take someone to open the warehouse.

There are more than 100 warehouses here, and each granary can store at least 5,000 stone of grain, a total of 500,000 stone of grain, which is the main granary used in the north to supply the border army and the Great Wall construction site.

Zhao Cangling opened the warehouse, only to see that the warehouse was sealed and a high grain stack was piled up, which was full of grain, and everything seemed normal.

There are more than 20 granaries in the entire grain field, which add up to 100,000 stone of grain. This grain is not in any way different from the amount of food recorded, and even slightly exceeded.

Li Chong looked at the records on the bamboo slips, his brows furrowed, this was completely different from what he imagined, how could the granary be full? He always felt that something was wrong.

"Shangguan, the granary has also been inspected, can it be closed?" Zhao Cangling next to him said with a flattering face.

Li Chong's face was ugly, and he immediately said: "Come on, take out all the grain in the granary!" ”

"Shangguan, Shangguan, these grains cannot be taken out at will, once taken out, they are prone to insects and mold, and then Xiaguan will not be able to bear this responsibility." Zhao Cangling hurriedly dissuaded.

"Get out of the way, if the grain is taken out and there are insects and mold, it will naturally be carried by the official."

Saying that, people directly entered the granary and moved the grain out.

Dozens of people went into battle together, and the grain in the granary was carried quickly. The grain was piled up directly on the spot, and soon a hill was piled up.

"General, here's a discovery!" At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the granary.

Li Chong stepped forward directly, and the surrounding people immediately got out of the way. I saw that all the grain raised above the granary had been carried out, and the center had dug down to a depth of about two meters.

"What did you find?" Li Chong asked.

"Partition, General, there's a partition underneath this granary!" As he spoke, he ordered the soldiers to clear the surrounding grain, revealing the black planks underneath.

Li Chong stepped forward and tapped lightly on the wooden board, and there was a thump from inside, and it was obvious that it was empty underneath.

Seeing this, Li Chong's face was gloomy, and then he walked to the granary, and then said, "Dig it all!" ”

Zhao Cangling next to him fell directly to the ground.

Soon all the granaries were dug up, and all but a few of the twenty granaries were full, and the rest were all one layer above, supported by partitions below.

The entire 200,000 stone granary has a deficit of more than 100,000 yuan.

Li Chong's face was extremely ugly, and he immediately controlled all the people in the granary, preparing to review and screen.

After Wang Luo received the news, his face was extremely ugly, and he directly took down all the officials in the granary for review. Soon the result of the matter was sent to Wang Luo.

Almost all the officials of the entire grain field participated, and these people, local officials and the family of the secretary began to report the loss of the granary in various ways, and the grain was floated away for reasons such as mildew and insect moth, so as to reduce the number on the books.

After a while, after seeing that no one had noticed, these people became more and more emboldened, and began to transport the grain directly, and then used partitions to make the warehouse look like it was still full.

Then, when it is time to transport the grain, the remaining grain is mixed with a large amount of bran, gravel, and gravel, and transported over. When it was time to deal with the inspection, these people borrowed grain from the families of the wealthy families in advance to fill it, and waited until the inspection of the imperial history left, and then returned the grain.

Therefore, every time the inspector came here to check, the grain here was piled up in the warehouse.

This time, Li Chong also moved too fast, and these people didn't know at all, and they were caught off guard. Otherwise, these hundreds of thousands of stone grains would disappear silently, and no one would know about them.

The plane was delayed for 4 hours, and the airport code word, let's make do with it.
