Chapter 157 Turbid Water

There were some rustling sounds of clothing materials in the crowd, but other than that, there was no sound.

The afterglow of the setting sun shrouded the silent and strange crowd.

At this time, Qin Yang came back, approached Ye Qinghuai's ear and said, "Your Majesty, the man is tied up."

Ye Qinghuai nodded, her expression relaxed, as if everything was as she expected and she didn't find it difficult.

She gestured to the crowd in front of her with her eyes and said to Qin Yang: "Qin Yang, pick a smart person from here and ask him to go to the palace and send a message to the inner court.

It has been changed to Yuan Shangcangchang, let Li Baoquan inform all officials."

Although she was speaking to Qin Yang, her voice was not lowered and seemed particularly clear in the silent crowd.

At this time, almost everyone looked surprised.

No matter in the history of Dajing or the previous dynasties, there has never been any precedent of the previous dynasty not being in the main hall of the palace. Although Cangchang is on the outskirts of Beijing, it is still several miles away from the nearest city gate. The emperor actually wanted to

Morning pilgrimage here?

It is truly unheard of and ridiculous.

An official wearing a silk shirt who approached Ye Qinghuai couldn't help but asked: "Is Your Majesty going to stay in Cangchang today?"

Ye Qinghuai nodded and said seriously: "If the door of this warehouse cannot be opened for one day, I will stay here for one day."

She spoke very naturally, seemingly not paying attention to the surprised looks of the people around her.

Only Qin Yang looked normal. He immediately went to find a short officer in the crowd, took off his token and gave it to him. After giving him a few instructions, he let the man go.

Seeing that no one came forward to open a position, Ye Qinghuai stretched his muscles and said lazily: "It is indeed a bit hot today, please find a place for me to take a nap for a while. You all go and do yourselves."

There is a court hall in Cangchang with several rooms at the back, which is where officials usually work and rest. Although it is considered neat, it can be considered simple and crude compared with the palace.

"Your Majesty, I feel sorry for you to make do with me here." After Xue Song was dismissed on the spot by Ye Qinghuai, the director of Cangchang took over his duties of accompanying the emperor.

"It doesn't matter. You go and do your work."

The manager immediately bowed and resigned without any courtesy.

The example of Xue Song is before him. For this erratic emperor, he deeply felt that accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger, and he did not want to stay for a moment longer.

The hut was quiet for a while, but Ye Qinghuai showed no intention of taking a nap. She walked around the house, picking up things on the bookshelves and desks and looking through them from time to time.

"Qin Yang, go take a look outside and see if there is anything strange." Ye Qinghuai ordered, her expression darkened again.

Although Qin Yang was dull-minded, he was very obedient. He never thought too much about Ye Qinghuai's instructions and did whatever he was told.

After he left, Ye Qinghuai was the only one left in the room. The room faced south and was a little hot after being exposed to the sun all day.

She sat down on an Eight Immortals chair, slowly fiddled with the ring on her left thumb, and fell into deep thought.

Originally, Yuanshang Cangchang was under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Husbandry, and the appointment of the governor of Cangchang was inseparable from the Ministry of Personnel. Both the Ministry of Husbandry and the Ministry of Personnel were under the care of Chen Yuansi.

If there is a problem with the grain storage in the warehouse, then Chen Yuansi must not be able to pick it off. Even if it is not traced to him in the end, it will definitely be traced to his disciples.

Nowadays, the war with Beidi is the top priority of the imperial court. Not only the emperor Ye Qinghuai, but also all the officials and people are watching the movements in the north. At this time, Cangchang sent adulterated military rations to the front line for the Ministry of War to take.

I found out and reported it.

Ye Qinghuai frowned.

Given Chen Yuansi's smooth and cautious character, it stands to reason that such a mistake should not have happened.

No matter how you put it, based on what Ye Qinghuai saw today, 80% of the food in the granary is indeed problematic. Moreover, this problem may have been around for a long time.

She, the emperor, came forward to request it, but no one below dared to open a warehouse. This shows that the consequences of opening the warehouse door are more dangerous than resisting the order.

Or, in Xue Song's eyes, she was still an emperor who had no prestige and could be fooled.

Thinking of this, a sneer appeared on Ye Qinghuai's lips.

Before she came, she only heard from He Qingchang and Tao Yuan that a minister of the Ministry of War died here without any explanation, and no one was responsible for it. She felt that this warehouse was monolithic, and she was afraid that the water was very deep.

Now that I have come here in person, I feel that the water is deeper.

If the water is not muddied, I am afraid that no matter how much they investigate, they will still turn it into a big deal and deal with it in a trivial manner. Where did the food in the warehouse go? Whose pocket did the money go into? How many people knew about it and did not report it?

, nothing can be found.

She insisted on staying here and asked Li Baoquan to send a message to all officials, just to muddy the waters.

If nothing unexpected happened, she would be able to see many officials including Chen Yuansi and Gu Shihai on the plain today without having to wait until tomorrow morning.

The most anxious people among them are naturally those who profit from private exchanges of military supplies.

All she has to do now is wait.

Wait for them to jump out on their own.

At this time, there were three knocks on the door.

The voice is not heavy and somewhat urgent.

Ye Qinghuai was a little puzzled: The warehouse is so big, why did Qin Yang come back so soon?

"Come in." She said solemnly.

The door opened, but it was not Qin Yang.

It was a thin man wearing a blue shirt who looked like a bookkeeper. He was holding a pot of hot tea in his hand. As soon as he stepped through the door, he gave a full salute to Ye Qinghuai and said loudly: "I see your Majesty, Mr. Lu.

Your Excellency has ordered your subordinates to serve your Majesty a pot of hot tea."

After saying that, without waiting for Ye Qinghuai's response, he turned around and closed the door.

Ye Qinghuai narrowed his eyes slightly, his right hand subconsciously held down the sword he carried on his waist when he left the palace, his body stiffened slightly, and he became alert.

His action of closing the door made Ye Qinghuai immediately alert: No matter how deep the water in this warehouse is, it will not be able to deal with her, the emperor, openly and openly, right?

Just when she was wondering, she saw the man taking two steps toward her in a panic, suddenly kneeling down on his knees facing her, and placing the teapot in his hand on the ground in front of him.

He kowtowed to Ye Qinghuai and said in a tearful tone: "Please, Your Majesty, please save me!"

He was kneeling on the ground, his voice was muffled, but he could still hear a bit of frightened fear.

Ye Qinghuai frowned, looked at him up and down, and asked, "Who are you?"

The man raised his head and replied tremblingly: "Your Majesty, my name is Zhang Genggui. My ancestors are from Zhongzhou. I was a clerk in the warehouse. Some time ago, Wang Yunzhong, the manager, died in the fire. Mr. Xue took the little man to the fire."

He was promoted to become the warehouse manager..."

His voice suddenly dropped, as if he remembered something terrible, and he even stopped talking.

Ye Qinghuai looked at his hesitant expression and said, "From clerk to chief clerk, you have been promoted three levels in a row. Xue Song wants to reuse you."

He seemed to be stimulated by the word "reuse". He suddenly came back to his senses, looked sad again, and said: "He wants the villain to be his scapegoat! Your Majesty, please save the villain!"

After saying that, he kowtowed again.
