Yan Shiyue smoothed it over in his mind: "In Zhang Heng's case, it was the case of the Yulin Army. The person he killed was the younger brother of a Kubing soldier. You said that the other party must have used money. Then you said, this means
Approximately how much money is there? Is it a normal income for a military soldier?"
Qu Sinian's expression also became serious: "Why do you need two or three hundred taels for this kind of thing? It is definitely not something that a Ku soldier can bear."
The three of them couldn't help but look at each other.
After a long while, Yan Shiyue said: "This matter will definitely not happen in a day or two. If the other party is holding me back and wants to do something, it has already been done, so there is no need to rush to solve it. In this way, let's hold our troops for now and open the treasury anyway.
It happens from time to time, and there will always be some clues. Let the shadow guard keep an eye on it first before talking about it."
Qu Sinian said seriously: "It's best if you think this way, don't act too hastily!"
"Well," Yan Shiyue said: "Then, Si Nian, you look for a chance to look at the files, remember the information about the existing Ku soldiers, and then silently hand them over to the shadow guards and let them investigate quietly. Xiao Gu, you
Starting tomorrow, we will promote new accounting methods and look for opportunities to look at the treasury’s accounts, especially yesterday’s accounts.”
They both stopped and thought about it.
Then Qu Sinian asked: "Do you want to tell the emperor about this matter?"
Yan Shiyue said: "Let's find out first. Now we don't know anything. How can we tell Aye? Besides, there is no danger in this matter. At worst, it is just embarrassing."
Qu Sinian nodded slowly.
The three of them have decided on a plan.
After the morning court the next day, Lin Fujian stopped Yan Shiyue directly and asked him how Yan Shitu's injury was.
Yan Shiyue acted like she had lost her temper and found out that it was a false alarm. She was embarrassed, lowered her head a little awkwardly and said, "It's nothing."
She walked quickly.
Her straightforward image before was so popular that Lin Fujian really didn't notice anything was wrong and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Yan Shiyue went home directly, and Yan Shitu was locked up at home by her and was not allowed to go out until the matter was over.
Yan Shitu didn't know that he had been "fucked" for a while. When he saw her, he still laughed and looked careless and stupid.
To be honest, she really didn't know how to arrange things for Yan Shitu.
Yan Shitu is just cheerful and simple, not reckless. He is still very smart, but he doesn't take everything seriously.
Yan Shiyue didn't realize that she was worried about being a parent. Anyway, she naturally asked the Dragon Guard to teach him kung fu to see if he had any talent in martial arts.
She stayed at home for a day, and the next day she went to the Ministry of Household Affairs to have her fortune ordered and then returned home, looking as if she was worried about her brother's injury and had no intention of doing anything else.
At this time, Gu Hengsha had already seen the entry and exit account of that day, and Qu Sinian had also successfully seen Ku Bing's information, and wrote it down and silently passed it on to the shadow guard.
The doctor in charge of the treasury, as well as the treasury soldiers, have always been replaced every three years. Qu Sinian not only wrote down the current one, but also the previous one. No matter how many there were, he did not read them again for fear of arousing suspicion. Shadow Guard
Secretly carry out family wealth one by one.
It was only then that Yan Shiyue felt that twenty shadow guards were indeed a bit too few. She should have asked Aye for more.
At this time, the Hubu Yamen still left twelve shadow guards with clairvoyance to monitor the direction of the treasury day and night, while the remaining eight shadow guards slowly investigated the treasury soldiers.
In fact, the management of the treasury is still very strict.
For example, every time it was time to move the warehouse, no matter whether it was cold or hot, the warehouse soldiers had to take off all their clothes, pass in front of the warehouse officials one by one, and put on special clothes after entering the warehouse.
After the move is completed, I take off my moving clothes, still naked, and go to the front of the lobby to be inspected again.
During the inspection, the Ku soldiers should straighten their arms, expose their ribs, squat slightly with their legs, open their mouths, and make a loud goose call to prevent them from getting caught.
It looks seamless.
But according to Su Ji, if bone loosening medicine is used and regular exercise is used, a Ku soldier should be able to carry eight to ten smooth silver ingots, weighing more than a hundred taels.
It’s really worthless!
Yan Shiyue carefully flipped through the Shadow Guard's records.
The Shadow Guard wrote down all the actions of these people, whether they were useful or not.
Every time before entering the warehouse, clean water and dusting are required, so the warehouse soldiers carry buckets in to clean them. After cleaning, they come out again. Of course, the buckets can also see, so they shouldn't be so blatant.
She suddenly frowned and realized something was not quite right.
The shadow guard recorded that there was a toilet at the entrance of the bank. After these soldiers left the bank, they would always enter the toilet. They could not see what was going on inside, but everyone would be delayed for a quarter of an hour, or even longer.
So, could this toilet be their "transit station"?
When leaving the house the next morning, Yan Shiyue told Huo Qijing, "I will quarrel with you in court today."
Huo Qijing looked at her and nodded to show that he understood.
So after going to court, many people saw General Huo chasing the Prime Minister for a few steps, and then the Prime Minister pushed him, kicked him, and left angrily.
Everyone: "..."
When Sima Long entered the Hubu Yamen, he saw Yan Shiyue sitting inside, with a bit of anger still on his face.
Sima Long spoke cautiously: "Prime Minister, I know there is a good snack shop nearby. Why don't I send someone to buy it and ask Prime Minister to try it?"
Yan Shiyue waved her hands and said nothing. Sima Long couldn't just leave her here and ignore her, so he could only ask again: "Will you make me a pot of tea for the prime minister?"
After three or four of these, Yan Shiyue got annoyed, and then she went out directly.
She went to Situ's room and called Bao Zheng out. She looked like she was looking for someone to relieve her boredom, and then she motioned for him to go for a walk with her.
It wasn't until there was no one around that Yan Shiyue said, "May I ask Mr. Bao, how do you think you should be an official and a human being?"
Bao Zheng said: "As a man, you should be pure and straightforward; as an official, you should be dedicated and dare to take responsibility for the world."
Yan Shiyue looked bored, but his words were extremely serious: "Okay, I believe you. I have something for you to do."
Bao Zheng didn't seem surprised: "Bao Zheng obeys orders."
Yan Shiyue said: "I looked at the household department and it seems that someone has stolen the treasury money. Have you heard about this?"
Bao Zheng said: "I don't know."
"And pretend you don't know," Yan Shiyue said, "later, when you get near the treasury, go to the toilet and try to do a quick check to see if there is anything abnormal."
Bao Zheng said: "Yes."
The two of them strolled slowly until they reached the vicinity of the treasury, facing the treasury defenders from a distance.
Yan Shiyue made a move to pat Bao Zheng on the shoulder, while whispering: "Mr. Bao, to be honest, your dripping beard really looks fake."
Bao Zheng quickly backed away. She pointed at him and said, "What are you hiding from?"
Bao Zheng said anxiously: "I am in a hurry and want to go to the toilet."
Then he ran away in a hurry.
Yan Shiyue walked a few steps towards the treasury with her hands behind her hands, her face full of bad mood.
Then she waved back, and A and a few others came over. Yan Shiyue talked to him, walked back and forth, pointed to the toilet from time to time, said a few words, and seemed to be losing her temper... Attracting everyone
sight.
Bao Zheng came out in less than a quarter of an hour, walked up to her and saluted, and said quickly in a low voice: "There is a hiding place for silver in the toilet. The silver ingots are wrapped in lard and... scattered feces, about two hundred taels."
Yan Shiyue was retching again.
However, at least it was confirmed that Gu Dao's hold on the money and the "transit station" incident were all as she thought.
Although there is no news about the family situation of the soldiers in the library, they still have a lot of things on hand. They can ask Emperor Ming Yan for instructions, and then dispatch the imperial army to make a surprise inventory.
Yan Shiyue frowned and was about to turn around, but heard a faint noise coming from behind. (To be continued)
