The prince personally handed it up the steps, but Yan Shiyue remained motionless, his mind spinning rapidly.
The bone pine medicine, the laminated barrel, the guard's eyes, the movements of the soldier... Zhou Shangshu's flattering smile, the young man Wen Cheng's astonished expression, and Lin Fujian's expression at that moment...
In the end, it all turned into the blood of that place when the Ku soldiers were killed.
Sima Long couldn't help but said: "Master Xiang?"
Yan Shiyue calmed down and looked up at the prince: "No, I can't leave until the matter is cleared up."
"Prime Minister!" Jia Xuanjing couldn't help but said: "Does Prime Minister still have to create a shortfall? Forgive me for speaking frankly, isn't this a bit... an attempt to incriminate?"
Yan Shiyue waved her hand, "Let me ask you again, was that guard really not instigated by you?"
Sima Long really swore to God this time: "I swear, if I was instigated by you, I will not die a good death!"
She looked at him with strange eyes. Then she nodded and went out. She directly waved to the shadow guard and gave a few instructions in a low voice.
Several shadow guards responded and left.
The prince asked: "Fuyan?"
Yan Shiyue said: "Brother, don't worry. I hope more than anyone else that the household department will not be in deficit... But when things come to pass, you want to call me 'rarely confused', but you absolutely can't."
The prince frowned: "What do you want?"
Yan Shiyue said: "Wait a moment."
It was already dark, and neither the prince nor the prince had had lunch or dinner. Sima Long and Jia Xuan could not help exchanging glances, but they had no idea what she wanted to do.
Until a shadow guard quickly rushed in, knelt down, and raised Shang Fang's sword above his head.
The prince was stunned.
Since Yan Shiyue was given Shang Fang the sword, he has never used it once.
She took a long breath, stood up and bowed, took Shang Fang's sword in her hand, then strode out and said loudly: "Shang Fang's sword is here, hold it as if I were here in person!"
Everyone was shocked and knelt down one after another.
The prince and Sima Long also came out quickly and knelt down to salute.
Yan Shiyue said: "Huo Qijing!"
"I'm here."
Yan Shiyue said: "Sima Long, Jia Xuanjing and the others have all been captured!"
Huo Qijing quickly gave the order. With Shang Fang's sword here, the dragon guards naturally took them all without hesitation.
Yan Shiyue said again: "Take down all the treasury soldiers!" She pointed at the guards: "Take down all the treasury guards!"
The prince was stunned.
No wonder she wanted to get Shang Fang's sword. Without Shang Fang's sword, even with Huo Qijing, she couldn't do such a thing.
Sima Long was simply unbelievable: "Master Xiang! Are you going to beat me to death?"
Jia Xuanjing also said: "Master Prime Minister, isn't it a good thing that there is no deficit? Why do you have to create a deficit!"
Yan Shiyue helped the prince up and said coldly: "You just said that you were not the one who ordered the guards to kill people. I believe it. You won't be so stupid! But... how many people are there in the Ministry of Household Affairs from top to bottom?
, even if it is really 'profitable', how much can a small guard get in his hands? Just like this, he would not hesitate to kill people and silence them?"
She said word by word: "So, I really can't imagine how big that number would be."
Sima Long and the others couldn't help being speechless.
The prince was also enlightened. He suddenly understood what he thought was wrong before.
The shadow guard led a group of people over and saluted: "Master, the imperial doctor has arrived."
Yan Shiyue said: "Leave it to the Ku soldiers for inspection."
Someone took Ku Bing to a nearby room and asked the imperial physician to examine the valley path.
After a while, the shadow guard brought Ding Jiu over. Ding Jiu saluted and said: "Master, I have brought four five-hundred-jin scales and four three-hundred-jin scales."
Yan Shiyue nodded: "Gu Xiao."
"Disciple is here."
"Go into the treasury and order it again."
"yes."
Eight large scales were carried in, and Ding Jiu also brought people in to help. For a while, his ears were filled with the sound of crashing.
The prince's mood was a little complicated.
Sometimes he really couldn't tell how he felt about Yan Shiyue.
Sometimes she is terrifyingly smart and terrifyingly tough. Unless she is willing to coax him, otherwise, in front of her, he, the prince... really has no dignity at all.
Soon, Qing Wei came out and handed her a silver ingot.
It was light and fluffy as soon as I picked it up, but it deflated with just a pinch. It was a fake gold ingot made of hollow tin.
Sure enough, she was just a fool. He temporarily held her back just to put the fake gold ingot in, right?
Yan Shiyue handed it to the prince. As soon as the prince took the hand, his face darkened.
Sima Long could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground.
Suddenly someone went crazy, raised his body, and yelled: "You bitch! Why does it bother you to earn some hard-earned money! You are allowed to eat hot and spicy food, but we can't even eat meat! You people are so rich and unkind..."
The dragon guard rushed forward and slapped the man, causing him to fall backward immediately.
But then, someone next to him scolded: "That's right! What a lucky lady, she is really a snake-hearted person who ruined my wealth! I deserve to be cut off from my descendants! Not being able to give birth to a son is retribution! It's retribution!!"
Huo Qijing was furious. He took a few steps over and kicked the man a few feet away, causing him to vomit blood.
Yan Shiyue said coldly: "Ah Jing, there's no need to beat him. I've never seen someone steal something so confidently. Let them scold me and I'll hear what they can scold!"
Huo Qijing clenched his fists and looked around at everyone solemnly.
The guardsmen were so frightened by his momentum that they all bowed their heads, and no one dared to speak out again.
The lights were kept burning until dawn, and fake ingots were piled all over the floor.
Gu Xiao calculated it quickly, took a breath, and looked at her without daring to speak.
Yan Shiyue and the prince stood up at the same time and looked at his abacus.
Thirty-five million nine hundred thousand!!
A total of more than seven million taels short! More than seven million taels!!
The prince could hardly believe his eyes and murmured: "But, is the calculation wrong?"
Gu Hengshafei added another set as if he were doing the same. Looking at the numbers on the abacus, the prince felt bitter in his mouth.
A total of more than seven million taels!
He couldn't believe it, let alone imagine how angry Emperor Ming Yan would be.
Emperor Yan of the Ming Dynasty waited for a whole day and night, but never saw the prince and the two come back. It was not until the morning of the morning that he heard that the prince and Yan Shiyue were waiting outside.
Emperor Ming Yan knew that it would definitely not be good news, so he called people in directly.
Everyone knew what happened yesterday, and now when they saw the two of them, they all looked over.
The two of them knelt on the ground, and the prince's voice was trembling, "Father, my son and I checked the treasury overnight and found a deficit..." He hesitated for a moment, then closed his eyes and said, "Seven hundred and seventy-five
Wan Liang."
Even though he was mentally prepared, Emperor Ming Yan was still shocked by this number.
He asked in astonishment: "How much?"
The prince whispered: "Seven million seven hundred and fifty thousand taels."
Emperor Ming Yan said nothing.
Yan Shiyue noticed something was wrong. When he raised his head, he found that Emperor Ming Yan's whole body was shaking.
Yan Shiyue was stunned and said anxiously: "Aye! Aye!"
She rushed forward and hugged him, only to feel his whole body slam into her arms. (To be continued)
