Xia Chiwan, who was playing with An'er while holding An'er in his arms, did not deny it when he heard the fifteenth prince's question: "I have never hid it from you about the one million taels and the army. Originally, this hundred
Even if the taels are stolen and used by your brother-in-law, nothing will happen. But the theft of the treasury this time has given us a wake-up call."
Originally, the prince was short of money. As long as he stole other treasures in the treasury, any stolen items would be worth tens of thousands taels or even more.
It's a pity that for treasures like that, of course some people often take stock of them, but for grain and grass, very few people take stock of them.
Even if I did order some, I would just take a look at them, not count them in detail, let alone check whether the bags contained food or grass.
If someone hadn't said that day that rat droppings were found in the treasury granary, everyone accidentally broke a bag of grain in order to catch the rats and found that the inside was filled with sand.
Otherwise, no one may have discovered to this day that the grain and grass in the treasury had been diverted by others and turned into useless sand.
Such a large granary, so much grain and grass was emptied by people, and no one noticed in the process. It was only discovered three months later because of rat droppings.
Think about it, this is really a joke.
No wonder there is a saying that a grain of rat excrement spoils the whole pot. This time, it was not just rat excrement that ruined Zhou Xuanqi's big event.
"Sister Wan'er, you mean that the eldest brother has no intention of giving up at all. The reason why he steals food and grass is to support the army?"
The fifteenth prince frowned and asked.
The fifteenth prince truly believed in Xia Chiwan, and Xia Chiwan naturally dealt with the fifteenth prince sincerely.
If Xia Chiwan still had some small thoughts when facing the emperor, then in front of the fifteenth prince, Xia Chiwan really had no such small thoughts.
Therefore, the fifteenth prince knew about the one million taels of silver, and even more so, Xia Chiwan's rough "guess" about the prince's "use" of the one million taels of silver.
Originally, the fifteenth prince had some slight doubts, not because he didn't believe Xia Chiwan's judgment, but because he felt that Zhou Xuanqi was not that courageous.
Zhou Xuanqi is obviously already the prince, but he still wants to raise an army that belongs to him. This ambition...
Precisely because this has always been Xia Chiwan's judgment, few people will pay attention to it. Only Li Xuzhi completely believes in Xia Chiwan and does not doubt Xia Chiwan's judgment at all.
Because of this, Zhou Xuanqi could move so freely in the court.
If his self-founded army was exposed, his life would be at risk and he could be accused of treason at any time.
"I'm afraid that's the case. Otherwise, what do you think Zhou Xuanqi needs to do with so much money, or even take risks?"
Xia Chiwan sighed. Xia Chiwan really didn't want to mention more about his "guess".
After all, Xia Chi Wanruo said that she was a reborn person and had already lived through it all her life. When others heard her words, they would definitely think of her as a lunatic.
No matter what, at least she has an army under the control of her fourth brother. Even if Zhou Xuanqi is as capable as he was in his previous life, they don't need to worry too much.
