Shen Zhao's voice revealed obvious anger.

She waved her arms and hit forward, as if the murderer behind the grain-turned-sand case was standing right in front of her!

Gua Gua: [Host, calm down.

According to Guagua, we must not let that thief go.

The grain was in good condition when it was transported out of the capital.

As for how the food turned into sand and gravel.

This starts with the boxes of grain.

The box is a mechanism box with two layers inside.

The lower layer can only be opened by turning a secret button on the box.

During the day, Lord Qincha Lin Ruofeng sent people to load 10,000 kilograms of grain into boxes and checked them to confirm the packing.

The night before departure, a group of night travelers quietly came to the place where the food was stored.

The noise was made to lure away some of the guards, but the other guards who remained had already been bribed.

With the guard releasing water, the night walkers successfully dragged dozens of bags of sand and gravel into the large warehouse.

As the buttons were pressed one by one, the bottom layer was filled with sand and gravel half the weight of the grain in the box.

There were a lot of people traveling at night, and two people were responsible for one box. It took almost an hour to pack all the boxes.

Under the cover of the guards, the man in the night cloak returned safely.

This is the truth behind how grain turns into sand and gravel, which are already available in the capital.

The Qincha led his people all the way north, passing through various states and counties.

He only stayed in the post station and even refused invitations to banquets from local officials, citing the emperor's orders.

He also disciplined his subordinates to guard the grain boxes.

If any official wants to check it, he must get his consent.

On the way north, there were officials with big appetites and strong selfish motives who wanted to embezzle some of the grain, but under the strict defense of Imperial Envoy Lin, none of them succeeded.

As for those officials who refused to give up and came to the post station to secretly bribe Imperial Envoy Lin, they were all scolded and driven away by him.

It can be said that Imperial Envoy Lin performed his duties conscientiously in escorting this batch of grain, and there is nothing to criticize about him.

The Minister of Revenue also wanted to put the blame for the loss of grain on Lin, which was really shameless. 】

The complaints from Guagua were the most deadly, and the Minister of Revenue's face turned red.

Even his fingers were shaking, and it was obvious that he was very angry.

The emperor gave him a fatal blow and said solemnly,

"Jiang Youwen, if you can't be the Minister of Revenue, you should abdicate as soon as possible. The court is full of talented people and we don't need you."

What Guagua said really made Emperor Yongning extremely dissatisfied with Jiang Youwen.

As a Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he not only did not notice that someone had tampered with the boxes, he didn't even know that the person guarding the warehouse had been bribed by someone with ulterior motives.

He even wanted to push the crime of stealing grain onto a good minister like Lin Ruofeng.

If you know nothing about anything, you will be easily accused of a crime.

What's the use of having such a minister who only collects salary but does nothing?

The Minister of Revenue was so frightened that his face turned pale. He knelt in the hall, crying miserably with snot and tears.

Injustice!

Whether it was finding craftsmen to make these large boxes for storing grain, or arranging guards to guard the warehouse to look after the grain, both tasks were handed over to the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

He couldn't just say that he suspected there was something wrong with the grain box, right?

In fact, without Guagua's revelation, these people would not have thought that the sand and gravel had already been packed into boxes in the capital.

They all wondered which state or county officials were so bold as to turn grain into sand and gravel. They thought that something went wrong during the escort or that the imperial envoy had embezzled the grain.

No one would focus on the box and the keeper.

Jiang Youwen could only say bitterly,

"Your Majesty, I dare not!

I will make 100% effort to find out who is behind this.

I have just thought about it for a while and came up with some doubts.

... "

Jiang Youwen knew clearly that the emperor could also hear Shen Zhao's thoughts, so the emperor could also hear what he said.

But I can't say it openly, for fear of being heard by Princess Zhaoming.

Then he would say something vague, with some doubts here and there.

Anyway, just talk about all aspects and focus on what the princess said.

Just as Jiang Youwen was expressing his bitter opinion, an official standing among the civil and military officials broke out in a cold sweat and kept wiping his sweat with his sleeves.

But he didn't dare to wipe it too obviously, as he was sneaky and looked very thieving.

The colleagues next to him walked around this person and looked at each other, with suspicion flashing in their eyes.

But because this official also belonged to the Ministry of Revenue.

They guessed that it was because the emperor was angry with the Minister of Revenue, and that man must be afraid that the emperor would scold all the officials in their Ministry of Revenue together.

That's why we were all nervous and sweated so much.

Despite thinking this, the two officials next to him paid more attention to the official who was wiping his sweat.

Following Jiang Youwen’s statement, he was criticized by the emperor for being useless.

At this moment, he only hoped that Guagua could reveal the murderer behind the scenes so that he could be spared from this suffering.

Shen Zhao analyzed, "Gua Gua, Minister of Revenue Jiang Youwen is obviously trying to protect himself."

Rather than letting his uncle suspect and disappoint him as the Minister of Revenue, it would be better to directly put the blame on Lin Ruofeng, who stayed with Liang day and night.

What's more, Jiang Youwen is only responsible for loading the grain, transportation is the top priority.

Moreover, the capital city was under the emperor's eyes, and no official dared to exchange sand and stones for food, or to arrest officials and sentence people, right under the emperor's nose.

The emperor also knew this and did not doubt Jiang Youwen very much.

Jiang Youwen shifted the blame to Lin Ruofeng, the person in charge of transportation, and reduced his own suspicion to the lowest level.

All I can say is that officials all have their own plans.

What a pity, Lin Ruofeng was not in the palace and could not watch the two quarrel. 】

Guagua said, "It's too early to accuse Minister Jiang."

This case is actually somewhat related to him, but Lin the Imperial Envoy is the one who has no selfish motives throughout the whole process! 】

My life is over!

When Jiang Youwen heard Gua Gua's words, he collapsed in the hall, looking so pitiful!
