Shark Tears

In the early morning of the second day, the emperor appointed two officials to investigate the loss of disaster relief silver.Leng Yue understood, the emperor asked him to investigate secretly.

Sure enough, after the early morning cold moon, Shen Qi, Su Feng followed the emperor to the study.The emperor asked Shen Qi to assist Leng Yue in secretly investigating the matter. If there is evidence to prove that those officials were involved in the matter, there is no need to report it, and Su Feng will directly lead the Yulin Army to arrest and bring him to justice.

The group of three went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs again, and learned from the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs that the payment to the northwest was first sent to the magistrate in the capital, and then the payment army of the Northwest Garrison would pick up the payment and transport it to the northwest.If there is a disaster in the northwest, the imperial forest army will directly collect silver and supplies from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and transport them to the northwest, and the army stationed in the northwest will organize disaster relief.

Leng Yue asked Su Feng and Shen Qi to stay and continue to check the accounts from five years ago, while she went to the prefect of the capital.Informed the gatekeeper of her identity and followed him into the inner courtyard. Leng Yue was looking at the courtyard. It was simple and concise, not like the residence of a corrupt official.At this time, a reckless servant girl ran out from nowhere, Leng Yue hurriedly dodged sideways, holding the stone screen behind her with her hands so as not to let the hot tea spill on her body.

As soon as the magistrate came out of the room, he saw Mr. Right Prime Minister being squeezed aside, and there was a servant girl kneeling on the ground. He was frightened out of his wits, and rushed to meet him: "I don't know that Mr. Leng is here. It's really a crime! Alright, Lord Leng forgive me."

Leng Yue moved her finger and touched the stone under her finger, but she just patted her sleeve and didn't blame her.Let the magistrate take him to the warehouse and take out the accounts related to the Northwest Army in recent years to check carefully. There is no problem in the accounts. Leng Yue glanced at the magistrate standing aside, and left without saying a word.

Seeing Mr. Right left, the magistrate lowered his head and stroked his chest in relief.As soon as Leng Yue turned her head and saw such a scene, she made a mocking smile and left.

Leng Yue went back to the House of Internal Affairs to meet Shen Qi. Su Feng, a martial artist, couldn't understand these ledgers, so Hou had to serve Shen Qi tea and water.

Shen Qi wasn't bad either, he discovered the law of silver taels being lost just after taking over for a while.The accounts have been tampered with since seven years ago.

Leng Yue thought about it. The accounts of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are made by special personnel after reporting the use of the money and the quantity. Since it can be found that there is a problem with the accounts of the silver shipped to the northwest, it means that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is clean in this matter. .Just now I checked with the magistrate of the capital, although the book is innocent, but Leng Yue is sure that the magistrate was involved.The rest are the army that transports the salary, the Imperial Forest Army that transports the relief silver, and the army stationed in the northwest.

Leng Yue asked Su Feng to check whether the leader of the Imperial Forest Army who transported the silver had embezzled anyone.Su Feng checked the list of the leaders who were in charge of escorting the payment in recent years, and he felt relieved when he saw that they were all single-handedly selected figures.

Gather all the dozen or so of them together: "All the brothers present here were brought out by me, Su Feng. Now the imperial court is handling a major case concerning disaster relief funds in the Northwest. To take over the subject of interrogation."

The people sitting here are all people who crawled out of the dead on the battlefield, and Su Feng either had a kindness for them or saved their lives on the battlefield.For these tough guys, loyalty to Su Feng is even more important than their own lives.They all said: "Brother, I can't do the thing of betraying the court for a few stinky money." Brother's face."

Shen Qi is a civil servant, and he only personally participated in the victorious Battle of Cangyun that caused a sensation in the mainland ten years ago, so he never had the chance to deal with these hearty and loyal men.But at this time, their loyalty made him feel vividly.

Su Feng looked at his brother with satisfaction: "That's good, if anyone does such a shameful thing, don't call me big brother anymore!"

"Brother, don't worry!"

Leng Yue also looked at these men with a smile, admiring their loyalty and courage from the bottom of her heart.Since there is no problem with the escort, only the Northwest Army is left.Just because the silver taels withheld by the magistrate could not make up for the amount of lost silver taels, it seems that the Northwest Army swallowed a lot of silver taels!

At dusk, Leng Yue sat at the table and sorted out the case. The only thing that needs to be confirmed at present is whether the Northwest Army has embezzled silver.But it takes at least [-] days from the capital to the northwest, and it takes more than a month to go back and forth. If it is not guaranteed, something will go wrong within a month.

And the grandson of the Northwest General is the current First Prince, so he should have a lot to do with the case, why not start with him.But if you ask clearly, you will definitely startle the snake, so you can only investigate secretly, but the skills of those imperial guards may not be higher than Yunxiao, it seems that you have to go there yourself.

Moreover, it was only a few days since the last payment disappeared. If the case was really related to him, then these few days should be busy distributing the stolen money and keeping the real accounts.

Leng Yue sighed slightly, thinking in her heart that she was pretty useless as a prime minister, and had to do everything by herself.Think about grandpa, the emperor will send people to handle anything as long as he has a plan, unlike himself, he has to ask the emperor to assign a few more people under his command in the future.But there is the same sweetness in his chest, and it is good that he can help him in person.

When the night got darker, Leng Yue changed into a night clothes, and without disturbing anyone in the house, she quietly jumped onto the wall, tiptoed like a nimble cat, and quickly skimmed across the dense roofs, standing in the Li Palace. On the eaves nearest the door.The cold moonlight shone on him, making his body look even thinner. His long ink-like hair was curled up neatly, his eyes coldly inspected the surrounding movement and the soldiers patrolling by the palace wall, and the silver mask under his eyebrows was replaced by Black makes it look more mysterious.

Taking advantage of a group of patrolling soldiers turning the corner, Leng Yue stood up and jumped, crossed the palace wall like lightning, and approached the palace of the eldest prince with small, soundless steps.While looking at the movement around him, he retreated to the base of the wall, got up and jumped, and reached the roof.

With Leng Yue's skill so easy to detect, even a master like his grandfather in the room might not be able to detect it, let alone the eldest prince who can't even withstand the strength of throwing a cup.Leng Yue lightly lifts a tile on the roof to take a closer look at the scene in the house.

The eldest prince was sleeping on the bed, with a slender man under him.Leng Yue stared at the Huochun (harmony) Palace in front of her and was stunned for a moment, feeling her face was hot and her exposed ears were all red.Leng Yue suppressed her voice and took a deep breath, and continued to concentrate on observing the situation below.

The two people on the bed finally finished their work. The man under the eldest prince turned over and got out of bed to dress him. After he had dressed himself, he retreated quietly. Yun Xiao straightened his clothes before calling him to wait outside. The person watching: "Xiao Guizi, come in!"

A little eunuch came in from the door, looked behind him worriedly, then closed the door, walked up to Yunxiao, knelt down and saluted: "Prince, the empress said that the money has been received, within ten days I will prepare the weapons." Although Xiao Guizi deliberately lowered his voice, these words still did not escape Leng Yue's ears.

Yun Xiao nodded: "Let Er Niang tell Grandpa to get ready quickly and get his account books in order, otherwise if the father entrusts this matter to that Leng Yue, I'm afraid some mistakes will be found out."

"Yes, First Prince! Your Majesty even asked the servant to tell you to keep the account books properly!"

"Oh, I see!"

The two of them didn't say much, Xiao Guizi bowed and withdrew.Yun Xiao walked to a corner of the bedroom, knelt down and caressed a floor tile, exerted strength in his palm, and picked up the whole tile, looked at the contents inside and quickly covered it.Leng Yue sharply saw the word "account book" written on the cover of the thing.
