Yan Shiyue hesitated for a moment, then led them over.
It seems that people from the Ministry of Industry are here to arrange the treasury silver. The inspection procedures have been completed, and the treasury door is ready to be opened.
Yan Shiyue glanced at it a few times and walked straight forward without stopping, as if he had planned to go in this direction.
The two of them walked to the edge of the courtyard, and then slowly walked over. Yan Shiyue said: "Master Bao, I am going to enter the palace immediately. Is there any way you can help me stabilize Zhu Langzhong of the treasury?"
Bao Zheng said: "I will do my best."
As he spoke, he walked to the vicinity of the treasury. Yan Shiyue watched helplessly as the treasury soldiers who had changed their clothes came out of the toilet carrying buckets, and couldn't help but frown.
The Ku soldier also saw her and immediately panicked.
Then he hesitated on the spot, and then hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. Who knew that as soon as he took a step, he fell in panic, and the barrel fell to the ground, the bottom cracked, and two silver ingots rolled out.
???
Damn it! The plan can’t change as fast as it did! Yan Shiyue made a decisive decision and immediately shouted: “Jiahe!”
A and several others rushed up and quickly pushed the man to the ground. The Ku soldier panicked and shouted: "Mr. Prime Minister, spare your life!"
Bao Zheng knelt down, put his hands on his handkerchief, looked at the silver ingots, then picked up the bucket and looked at it, showing it to her that the bucket was specially made and had a mezzanine at the bottom.
Yan Shiyue shouted: "What's going on!"
The Ku soldier was so panicked that he had no idea and just shouted: "Mr. Prime Minister, please spare my life! Mr. Prime Minister, please spare your life!"
Zhu Hong, the doctor in charge of the treasury, trotted over and said hurriedly: "Master Xiang!"
He looked at the ground and said in surprise: "What is going on?" Then as if he had just thought of it, he kicked him: "How dare you! How dare you steal the treasure?"
Ku Bing screamed in pain.
Zhu Langzhong immediately turned around and held up his hands: "Master Xiang! It's because of the lax official discipline. I didn't expect that this kind of thing would happen! Fortunately, the Prime Minister knew everything and caught the thief! The Prime Minister is wise!"
Yan Shiyue said: "Are you sure this is Ku Yin?"
Zhu Langzhong was stunned for a moment, and then looked to the ground.
There are carvings on the top of the bank silver, and some are engraved with the year number, and "Dayan Silver Treasury" is engraved on the bottom. Just now Bao Zheng looked at it, and put the two silver ingots that leaked out. Looking at the top, I really don't know if it is.
He asked: "Isn't this Kuyin?"
Seeing that he never picked up the silver ingot, Yan Shiyue couldn't help but sneer and said: "Looking at this posture, the tools for committing crimes are so complete, I'm afraid he is a habitual thief. Go and inform Sima Shangshu and ask for an inventory of the truth."
"
"Why should Prime Minister do this?" Zhu Langzhong said: "This kind of thing has never happened before. After I am dismissed, I will strictly control it and guarantee that this kind of thing will not happen again! Please rest assured, Prime Minister!"
Yan Shiyue said: "I am ordering you, not discussing with you!"
She turned around and called Bao Zheng: "Master Bao, go to the Fourth Division and call for some help."
Bao Zheng saluted hurriedly and said, "Yes." He hurried away.
Yan Shiyue turned around and walked towards the treasury. He saw the treasury guards and several treasury officials, all looking panic-stricken. More than one person showed ill-concealed resentment and exchanged glances with each other.
Sure enough, this matter must be caused by collusion between the top and bottom, both inside and outside. Everyone knows it, and you can bully the top without hiding it from the bottom!
At this time, Sima Long and Qu Sinian also rushed over. As soon as Sima Long rushed over, he shouted: "There is such a person who is guarding and stealing! Why don't you drag him down and beat him to death with sticks!"
Zhu Langzhong said anxiously: "Yes! Sir!" He then signaled the guards to drag him away.
"Wait a minute!" Yan Shiyue shouted urgently: "That's a witness! Leave it alone and don't move, otherwise I will treat you as silenced."
The expressions on the faces of Zhu Langzhong suddenly seemed a little strange.
Normally, this sentence would be enough to calm everyone, but now, these people's eyes are filled with fierceness!
After all, if they really want to investigate, firstly, they will lose their money, and secondly, if they are convicted, they will probably die! They will definitely "choose the lesser of two evils"!
It is indeed unsafe to act hastily.
Yan Shiyue pretended to raise her hand and gestured to the wall. Soon, two gentle birdsong came from outside the wall.
Foreign aid has been notified.
Yan Shiyue was a little relieved and did not rush to the direction of the treasury. He stepped back and stood in front of the treasury soldiers and the broken barrel. Qu Sinian and Gu Hengsha both hurried over and stood beside her.
She pointed to the ground with a serious look on her face: "Master Sima, look at this bucket, it's obviously not new. This person must be a habitual thief. The truth is that Panku, please tell me, is it necessary?"
Sima Long said anxiously: "The prime minister is right! It's just that inventory is not a trivial matter. The procedures are very complicated and need to be carefully considered and adjusted slowly."
"Is there anything to consider?" Yan Shiyue said: "The truth is that I was ordered to help manage the household department. Before, it was just because I didn't take over the actual affairs, so I didn't plan to take inventory. Now that I found someone guarding and stealing, how can I let it go lightly?
Pass?"
Sima Long said thoughtfully: "In that case..." He waved his hand and said: "You guys help the prime minister go back! I will personally take the inventory and give the prime minister a satisfactory explanation!"
Yan Shiyue thought to herself: Why hasn't the foreign aid come yet? Why hasn't Bao Zheng come yet? She pondered while making moves.
Who knew that as soon as Sima Long finished speaking, someone came over and stretched out his hand to help her.
Yan Shiyue took two steps back and scolded: "Wait a minute! What are you doing! I'm talking to Lord Sima properly, do you want to hit me?"
The two men hesitated.
A and several others hurriedly stood in front of her.
At this moment, a guard suddenly stepped forward and stabbed the Ku soldier in the heart with a knife: "This kind of thief! If you don't kill him, let's keep it for what else!"
A and the others' attention was all on her side, and they didn't pay attention for a moment.
Seeing the blood splattered on the spot, Yan Shiyue's expression turned completely cold.
She pushed Kawa away and took a step forward: "What? Is it interesting to cover up the truth? Do you think I can't check the murder certificate? Or do you plan to kill me too? The treasury is right there, kill him
What’s the point??”
Jia, who was guarding the Ku soldiers before, immediately stepped forward, kicked the guard to the ground, and directly drew his sword.
Yan Shiyue looked at Sima Long coldly: "Sir Sima, please speak clearly! I can't open the treasury! Do you want me to take over?"
"Prime Minister, calm down!" Sima Long repeatedly said: "I will never dare to stop the Prime Minister! It's just that the Prime Minister doesn't know that the treasury of the Ministry of Revenue cannot be opened at will. If the Prime Minister wants to take stock of the treasury, he must first report to the Minister of Finance.
Approval, then checking the accounts, mobilizing manpower, and completing the formalities are all unnecessary."
Qu Sinian said: "Master, don't worry, just listen to me."
He pretended to whisper, but actually whispered: "Didn't you call someone?"
Yan Shiyue gave him a look.
At this moment, I heard a commotion, and Huo Qijing came over with his soldiers. As he walked, he said: "I was delayed for a while at the door. I brought a hundred soldiers, are you okay?"
There are only a hundred soldiers.
That is to say, Emperor Ming Yan was not informed.
Yan Shiyue gave him a cryptic wink and said, "Why didn't you inform Aye? I just want to take inventory, they even dare to kill people!" (To be continued)
