Huang Lie was temporarily detained in the Tingwei Mansion, saying that he was awaiting trial, but now the new candidate for the Tingwei Mansion has not yet been decided, and the case has become unsolved for a while. A big man died in the imperial court, and the hundred officials began to talk about it, taking advantage of the early dynasty to mention to the empress that the murderer should be severely punished.

"In front of the minister, my sister said that the murderer would be punished, but I didn't say how to punish it and when to punish it. Huang Gongzi, he probably still has a chance. ”

On the second floor of Qingxu Yashe, Han Jian, Sima Yi and Yang Xi reunited, and Yang Xi informed Han Jian of the situation in the early dynasty, which also made Han Jian feel prepared.

Han Jian understood that if the empress really intended to severely punish Huang Lie, she would not have given him an edict yesterday to let him go to the Tingwei Mansion to save people, and he could hand Huang Lie over to the Criminal Department. If there is no reasonable explanation, the empress cannot pardon Huang Lie, unless there are some "special" ways.

"If Li Wei is a heinous rebel, Huang Gongzi kills people, is there merit or fault?" Han Jian suddenly asked, and his words meant something else.

Yang Xi and Sima Yi were both puzzled, and Yang Xi asked, "Brother Han, are you ...... What do you mean by that? Li Shilang is an official of the imperial court, how can he ...... Is it a heinous rebel? ”

Han Jian smiled slightly, he already had a number in his heart. The best way to get Huang Lie away from the crime and not make the empress lose the support of the Southern King is to expose Li Wei's evil deeds first. Originally, people were dead, and things had lost the opportunity, but now the best breakthrough is in front of us.

"Young Master Yang, didn't you say that you want to supervise the storage of summer grain these days? Want to make progress right away? Han Jian said with a smile.

Yang Xi was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "Of course I want to, but ...... Now the grain has just been harvested. How can I make progress before it is put into storage? ”

Han Jian did not elaborate. got up and said, "Let's go, follow me and you'll understand." ”

Yang Xi and Sima Yi followed Han Jian downstairs. Han Jian called the guards, and the group headed in the direction of the treasury. The treasury department's yamen, the office of the upper listening office is the "inner yamen", and the large treasury is the "outer yamen", and most of the official affairs of the treasury division are handled on the side of the "outer yamen", so Han Jian goes to the "inner yamen" of the listening office, and most of the time he can't touch people.

This is Han Jian's second time to come to Daku, last time it was his boss, and Ma Jining, the leader of the Treasury Department, personally brought him over to recognize the place. That time, Han Jian came and went in a hurry. I didn't see a few people, and I didn't go into the warehouse to go on a field trip. As soon as he arrived outside the warehouse, he reported his identity, and went straight to the rows of houses behind the warehouse, which was also the office of the officials of the warehouse.

"His Royal Highness is coming, and the officials are not welcome, and they hope to atone for their sins."

Although Han Jian is also a Kusi Chinese. But he almost never inquired about the daily affairs of the treasury, so the whole treasury seems to have forgotten about his "second-in-command" existence. This time, Han Jian came uninvited, and it came very suddenly, so that the officials of the big treasury were not prepared. Han Jian went straight inside with the guards. When they arrived at the door of the office, they were greeted by officials from inside the office.

"Who is this?" Han Jian looked at the person in front of him, a young man in his twenties. Familiar, I seemed to have seen it last time. At that time, Ma Jining also made a special introduction, but Han Jian's mind was not here at that time. Ma Jining's words are all in and out of the left ear, who still remembers who this is.

"Your Excellency?" Han Jian frowned and looked at the young man in front of him.

"The lower official Yang Qi is the head of the Treasury Division, His Royal Highness is really a noble person who forgets things." Yang Qi smiled, his attitude was very respectful and modest.

"Yang Siling, look at me, I always like to forget things recently." Han Jian turned around and looked at Yang Xi and said, "Introduce Yang Siling, this is the Sixth Prince, who was ordered to supervise the storage of summer grain, Yang Siling should have heard of it, right?" ”

"Yes, yes. Met the Six Princes. Yang Qi was a little surprised, why did the East King and the Sixth Prince suddenly come to the Great Treasury, and they didn't receive any wind in advance.

"Don't talk outside, go in and talk, you see this day, the sun is so big, since you come here, Yang Siling won't even entertain a cup of tea, right?" Han Jian said in a somewhat cold tone.

"How? Please...... Please ......"

Although Yang Qi said please, his face was very embarrassed, at the moment, because of the summer grain storage, many people were not in the big warehouse, even Ma Jining, the leader of the Treasury Department, he was afraid that Han Jian and Yang Xi were here to investigate the case, if this was the case, how could he withstand it as a commander?

While entertaining Han Jian and the others into the house, Yang Qi thought about quickly finding someone to inform Ma Jining and let Ma Jining come back to deal with the East King and the Six Princes.

Han Jian also calculated that Ma Jining was not here before him, how could it be as Yang Qi wished? Inside, a few officials were taking pens to transcribe something, probably preparing accounts, because a large amount of money and grain would be put into the warehouse, and many records would need to be recorded, and then gradually compiled together.

Entering the house, Yang Qi hurriedly waved his hand to let those officials step back first, and then smiled and beckoned Han Jian to take a seat.

"His Royal Highness the East King, the sixth prince, you guys will rest here first, and then the lower official will go to find someone to serve tea?" Yang Qi said with a smile.

Han Jian smiled slightly and said, "Yang Siling is too outward, isn't there tea on this table?" Just find a cup, why bother Yang Siling to serve tea in person? ”

"These teas are cold, so the next official will go to ......"

"It's okay, it's okay, I like to drink herbal tea, Sixth Prince, are you too?" Han Jian looked at Yang Xi, who was a little unclear.

Yang Xi still didn't understand why Han Jian wanted to bring him over.

"Yes......" Yang Xi didn't understand how to say it, but he knew that it was always right to follow Han Jian's meaning.

Han Jian's humility made Yang Qi at a loss, he couldn't find a chance to go out and find someone to inform Ma Jining, so he had to ask with a smile: "I don't know what happened when His Highness is coming?" ”

Han Jian smiled slightly, and said: "That's the case, the sixth prince has some friendship with me, this time the prince was ordered by the emperor to supervise the storage of summer grain, there are many places that are not clear, and he wants me to help." It's a pity that I'm new to the Treasury and don't know much about some things......"

Yang Qi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is easy to do, the lower officials will find a few scribes who are familiar with the details of the storage of summer grain, for His Royal Highness and the sixth prince to dispatch." ”

Han Jian said with a smile: "No need, just bring the general account of your big warehouse for this summer grain storage, and we can bring it back to study it ourselves." ”

"Huh? Ledger? Yang Qi was taken aback, "This ...... This ......"

"What, no?" Han Jian's face sank.

"No...... No. Yang Qi was a little frightened and said. This general ledger ...... It has not yet been recorded, and many entries have not yet been recorded. Fear...... I'm afraid ......"

Han Jian sneered in his heart, the general ledger was just an account that was placed on the bright side for people to see. In this way, Yang Qi didn't dare to show it, which shows how empty Yang Qi's heart is. In this Kusi, there must be something greasy.

Han Jian smiled again and said, "It's okay, we just take it back for a detailed reference, and we will send it back when we go back, and we won't delay the preparation of the general ledger." Yang Siling, I am the Treasury Division, and the sixth prince is ordered by the emperor to supervise the storage of summer grain, isn't it that he can't even borrow the general ledger? ”

"This ......" Yang Qi is completely confused now. I couldn't make up my mind, so I had to seek to get out and find someone to inform Ma Jining, "Your Highness, please wait, the lower official will send someone to fetch the general ledger, and the general ledger is not stored here." ”

Saying that, Yang Qi had the intention of retreating.

"Hmm." This time, Han Jian didn't stop him, and made a gesture of invitation, "Then Yang Siling will go and come back quickly." ”

Yang Qi nodded in acceptance, turned around and hurried to the door. When I got to the door, I met a person and almost bumped into my arms. When Yang Qi looked at it clearly, he found that it was just an eight-grade small bookstore of Kusi.

"Yang Siling. Where are you going? The clerk asked with a smile.

"The sixth prince and the king of the east are here, saying that they want to see the general ledger, you hurry up and inform the horse leader. He is in the warehouse on Maoling Street in the east of the city! Yang Qi hurriedly instructed.

The clerk was a little inexplicable and said, "Look at the general ledger? Isn't the general ledger in there? ”

"What do you know!" Yang Qi almost roared, he roared. But he heard laughter from behind him, and turned to look. But it was Han Jian who came out with him, standing at the door and looking at him with a smile.

"Your Highness, why did you come out?" Yang Qi said with a smile.

"Oh, I came out to go with Yang Siling to get the general account, but I didn't expect to hear the conversation between the two, unintentionally, really unintentionally. So, the general ledger is in it and not elsewhere? ”

Yang Qi really wants to slaughter that book, isn't this a self-confession?

Yang Qi smiled helplessly: "Yes, Yes, Your Highness, look at my bad brain, too forgetful, don't you just put the general ledger in it." The lower official will take it for His Royal Highness. ”

Han Jian smiled peacefully and said, "It's okay, people always have a time to forget." There is a leader of Lao Yang. ”

Yang Qi re-entered the room with a dark face, went to a table, opened the wooden cabinet, took out a large and thick account book inside, and presented it to Han Jian. Han Jian flipped through the two pages, it was really the general ledger, but many of the accounts were not very clear, it should still be in the process of summarizing and filling in, it should be a first draft, and there are still places that need to be deleted and supplemented later.

Although the accounts are incomplete, what Han Jian wants to read is the first draft.

"So I won't bother." Han Jian handed over the general ledger to Sima Yi, asked Sima Yi to take it, and said with a smile, "Let's take this account back and take a look, and it won't take long to send it back." Yang Siling doesn't have to go far, we know the way and say goodbye. ”

"Greetings to Your Highness...... The sixth prince ......" Yang Qi smiled wryly.

Waiting for Han Jian, Yang Xi and the others to leave, Yang Qi kicked on the secretary's body, and the secretary's office fell to the ground and rolled twice, then got up again, puzzled: "Yang Siling, what are you...... How so...... It has nothing to do with the lower officials! ”

"Why don't you go to the horse leader? Believe it or not, I slaughtered you? Yang Qi hissed.

The six souls who were frightened by the bookstore had no owner, and hurriedly went out to find Ma Jining. After half an hour, while Yang Qi was waiting in a panic, Ma Jining came back alone, and it could be seen that Ma Jining was a little absent-minded, and even came back with a yawn.

"Horse Leader...... It's not good...... Yang Qi hurriedly went up and explained the situation just now.

"What are you panicking about? Isn't it just a general ledger? What's in there? If he wants to check, check it for him! Ma Jining said a little casually.

At this time, another treasurer also hurried over when he heard the news. When Ma Jining saw someone coming, he greeted casually: "Zhongru, are you here too?" ”

"Yes, Ma Buling, I heard that the East King just came over and took our general ledger away?" The person who came said with a cautious face.

Ma Jining frowned and said: "I told you, there is no crack in this wall, they can't find out why, don't panic about anything." ”

Zhongru said: "But Ma Buling, this shows that the East King and the Sixth Prince have already taken action against us, and we are not afraid of people stealing us, and we are afraid of people's worries, and this general account cannot fall into their hands." ”

Ma Jining said impatiently: "Now that they have been taken away, what else can we do?" Go and ask him to come back, do you think the king of the east will give it? ”

Zhongru said: "We don't go to ask the East King, go directly to His Majesty to ask, the general ledger involves the treasury account, and you need to check with the household department when you go back, and now the East King does not comply with the rules to mention the general ledger, and tell your Majesty that Your Majesty will also get it back for us." ”

Ma Jining pondered for a moment and said, "Then what are you waiting for, let's go, go to the palace." If you really sleep well, you will be woken up! (To be continued......)
