With the confessions of these boatmen, Song Yunjie quickly uncovered several local officials who had collected grain from the treasury.
Except for those members, all of them are people who have enjoyed good fortune and cannot afford hardship. They are white, fat, and extremely rich.
Just by looking at them, Song Yunjie knew that these individuals would not be able to withstand the punishment.
Sure enough, within a few whips, the individual members confessed one after another, saying that the food and grass did not belong to him, but to another adult.
And those grains and grasses had been sold by them a long time ago, and the silver they got from selling the grains and grasses was handed over to the gentleman without any greed.
Song Yunjie examined it carefully and finally concluded that the person who transported the grain and grass to the place was a counselor beside the prince.
And the person who bought the food and grass from these people turned out to be a man named Qing Si.
After getting this answer, Song Yunjie kept thinking about the name Qingsi. When he heard the name Qingsi, Song Yunjie felt that the person buying grain and grass must not have used his real name, and Qingsi should be a pseudonym.
Then think about Xia Chiwan's reminder, and then think about the name Qingsi, the problem arises.
Qingqingqing, if you read it quickly, it looks like seven. Four harmonizes with ten, so green four becomes seventy, and if you pour it again, it becomes seventeen!
Isn't Jin Yuanfeng ranked seventeenth in the Great Jin Kingdom?!
If it was a coincidence that the batch of grain and grass snatched from the Jin Dynasty was similar to the amount of grain and grass lost in the treasury, then this time there are many coincidences, and it is definitely not as simple as a coincidence.
Thinking of what Xia Chiwan said, the Jin Kingdom had actually traded grain and grass with the Great Slave Kingdom twice.
Song Yunjie interrogated again and found out that those individuals had indeed sold a lot of food stored at home to the young man named Qingsi.
In short, these people all sold three batches of grain and grass to Qingsi one after another. The total quantity of these three batches of grain and grass was exactly the same as the number of transactions between the Jin Kingdom and the Danu Kingdom.
After getting this result, Song Yunjie's heart dropped.
The reason why the soldiers of the Great Slave Kingdom were able to eat and drink enough to fight against the Great Zhou Kingdom for a long time is that the stomachs of the soldiers of the Great Slave Kingdom were actually fed by the rice grains of the Great Zhou Kingdom!
The emperor was still in a coma, so Song Yunjie had no choice but to report the result to the fifteenth prince, and naturally they could not hide it from Lord Wei and Princess Jing.
Even Yunli Shan felt very uncomfortable when he knew the result.
After the fifteenth prince and others knew this result, they were naturally furious. Even these officials had given orders to others, and they were unforgivable.
Of course, none of these members had a good ending. Their property was confiscated. Although the main criminals could avoid the death penalty, they were even worse alive than dead. They were directly exiled to work as coolies.
As for the innocent people, they were all driven out of Yuanwai's Mansion. Each person could only receive five taels of silver. They were not allowed to take away anything in Yuanwai's Mansion, not even clothes.
The prince's eyelids jumped when those few members were found out.
You must know that the reason why the prince was able to amass a fortune of one million taels had a lot to do with these few officials.
Without these personal staff, the prince has lost a helper to make money. He only relies on the shop he owns to make a living, and the money he earns in a month is only tens of thousands of taels, which is only enough to cover the expenses of the prince's palace.
