Chapter 28 Key Little Man

Wang Jian kept watching Yang Yuanqing and his party leave before returning to Jinyang Palace. More than a hundred eunuchs and palace nv lived in the palace, and hundreds of soldiers were guarding them, with high alert.~~!-《》.

In history, Li Yuan's uprising was closely related to the Jinyang Palace. In history and legend, it was because Li Yuan used the palace nv of Jinyang Palace and was forced to rebel. In fact, it was not the case. Li Yuan had been planning to rebel for a long time, so he was related to Jinyang Palace.

Closely, we must first seize the Cang City of Jinyang Palace and obtain the strategic materials inside.

Wang Jian's office is on the periphery of Jinyang Palace. His duty is to maintain the normal operation of the palace. There is nothing wrong with it, but today his pace is particularly urgent. He went back to the office and took the time to take over it.

He turned over the horse. He wanted to go to Taiyuan City, but after leaving Jinyang Palace, he hesitated for a moment, then turned his horse's head and ran towards Cangcheng.

Yang Yuanqing and his group followed Cangcao Zhao Kaiyuan to Cangcheng. Cangcheng was slightly larger than Jinyang Palace. It had high walls around it, and there were guardhouses at all corners. There were soldiers guarding day and night. There were more than 100 soldiers at the city menu.

To guard, you must have a special token to enter and exit Cangcheng. Follow Zhao Kaiyuan into Cangcheng.

In the middle of the Cangcheng is a central axis, with hundreds of warehouses of all sizes distributed on both sides, divided into four major areas, ceremonial area, grain area, military area and miscellaneous area, among which the grain area is the largest, with fifty storages.

The area where Wanshi Grain, Yang Yuanqing and others were going to be a miscellaneous area, located in the innermost part of the Cangcheng City, also known as the Houcang, consisting of more than 20 warehouses of all sizes, with various miscellaneous items piled up.

Zhao Kaiyuan led Yang Yuanqing and others to a huge warehouse, "Open the men!" He ordered that a man who had opened the big copper lock, and several stout warehouses tried hard to push the men of the warehouse away.

A large warehouse full of tens of thousands of various woods appeared before them. He also recognized the warehouse. He quickly walked to the northwest corner and pointed to the wood piled up like a hill, "The main beam was placed vertically."

In the corner, it is probably buried under now."

"That's right!"

Zhao Kaiyuan flipped through the account book and smiled: "I have records here, there are 43 records in total, and they should be buried below. Does Li Zhubo want to see it now?" He nodded, "I want to see if there is no decay."

!”

Zhao Kaiyuan immediately ordered several strong men to move away from the wood, and a moment more than a dozen other warehouses came in to help, and the warehouse was busy. "《》.

But Yang Yuanqing patted Zhao Kaiyuan on the shoulder and smiled slightly, "I want to go to the Bianjiaku to have a look!"

Zhao Kaiyuan was stunned, "What did General Yang go to the Bingjiaku to do?"

"What, can't I go?" Yang Yuanqing's face sank.

"Of course you can go, but good! I'll go with the general."

Seeing that it would take some time to move the wood, Zhao Kaiyuan took Yang Yuanqing to the Bingjiaku.

The military and armor warehouse is next to the miscellaneous warehouse, and it takes hundreds of steps to arrive. There are five large warehouses in total, containing 30,000 sets of armor and more than 100,000 pieces of various weapons.

There were more than a dozen soldiers guarding each warehouse, looking at them with fear. Yang Yuanqing was about to enter, but was stopped by the soldiers guarding the men.

Zhao Kaiyuan quickly apologized to Yang Yuanqing: "General Yang, the military and armor warehouse is not like other warehouses. It is very cautious here. No weapons are allowed to be brought into the warehouse. General Yang's swords and swords cannot be brought in. I am really sorry."

Yang Yuanqing took off the sword and handed it to his subordinates, "You are waiting outside, I'll go and see it and come out!"

They entered the warehouse from a small men, which was an armor warehouse. The warehouse was densely filled with Mingguang armor and two armors. Each ten pairs of armor were bundled, and they were not piled up randomly like the wood warehouse. They were placed in an orderly manner.

It is very easy to count on the iron rack.

"How many armor banks are there in total?"

"Report to the general, there is only one armor warehouse, with a total of 30,000 sets of armor. Every June and December, people from the Ministry of War will come to investigate."

"I want to know the exact number of sets."

"I'll take a look!"

Zhao Kaiyuan took a ledger from the chou trunk next to him, turned over a few pages and said with a smile: "There are 30,080 sets in total."

"Has anyone received this year?" Yang Yuanqing asked casually.

Zhao Kaiyuan suddenly jumped in his heart and shook his head hurriedly: "No, no expenses have been made this year."

"Is that true? Show me the account book in your hand!" Yang Yuanqing looked at the account book in Zhao Kaiyuan with sharp eyes.

Zhao Kaiyuan was so scared that he took a step back and waved his hands repeatedly, "The general of this tent cannot be seen at will."

Yang Yuanqing reached out and took over the account book in his hand. Zhao Kaiyuan was trembling in his heart, but he did not dare to go forward to grab it. He began to be scared. Why did Yang Yuanqing care so much? Does he know that?

Intuition told Zhao Kaiyuan that Yang Yuanqing was an excuse to see the wood, and his real purpose was to see the military armor. Zhao Kaiyuan felt trembling and sweating all over his body.

Yang Yuanqing quickly turned to the last page, but this was just an armor balance account. There was no specific details of the income and expenditure. You can see that the balance at the beginning of the year was 39,000 pairs, but now there are only 30,800 pairs left. Why don’t there be no

Expenditure? This Zhao Kaiyuan is talking lies with his eyes open.

"There should be a detailed account! Show it to me."

As soon as Yang Yuanqing finished speaking, a rapid running sound came from outside the warehouse, and then Wang Jian's voice came, "Zhao Cangcao, where are you?"

"The humble job...the humble job is here!"

Seeing that Wang Jian had appeared at the menu, Yang Yuanqing returned the account book to Zhao Kaiyuan and smiled, "The frontier soldiers are like this, they are curious and anxious, please forgive me."

"nothing!"

Zhao Kaiyuan took the account book, but lowered his head. Wang Jian walked forward and looked at them suspiciously, "Why are you here?"

"Zhao Cangcao took me to visit the Military and Armor Reservoir and the Royal Palace Supervisor. Is there anything wrong with it?" Yang Yuanqing asked coldly.

Wang Jian laughed dryly, "It's nothing. I think it's really rude to not come to accompany General Yang in person, so I rushed here."

"Then go! Go back to the timber warehouse, probably they have found it."

Yang Yuanqing turned around and walked towards the men's mouth. Zhao Kaiyuan took two quick steps and followed him out. Wang Jian looked at their backs, and his suspicion became even stronger in his eyes.

Taiyuan City is divided into two counties, one is Taiyuan County and the other is Jinyang County. Zhao Kaiyuan's home is located in an alley near the south of Jinyang County. His family is quite wealthy and covers an area of ​​one acre.

There is a small house with more than twenty tiled houses, two yards in front and back, and there are 100 acres of ancestral land outside the city.

Zhao Kaiyuan is over 40 years old this year and has two sons. Both have started their own households. Only he and his wife live in his family, as well as two servants.

Taking advantage of Yang Yuanqing's time to go through the procedures for collecting wood, Zhao Kaiyuan slipped out of Cangcheng and fled home directly. When he got home, he locked himself in the room and used a quilt to keep his whole body in his heart. He was afraid.

At the extreme, today's intuition told him that Yuan Shangying took out troops and armor was violent, and Yang Yuanqing was investigating this matter. Once the matter was known to the court, he would undoubtedly die.

Zhao Kaiyuan suddenly thought of something. He kicked open the quilt, flipped up a brick from the corner of the wall, and mopped a small iron box from below. He trembled and opened the iron box, a booklet inside, which was taken by the soldiers.

Real records, five thousand sets of armor, bows and arrows, spears, horizontal swords, and shields. In the past two years, Yuan Shangying and others took away armor weapons. He recorded all of this in detail.

.

"Bang! Bang!" Suddenly, there was a knocking sound, which scared Zhao Kaiyuan's heart to jump out.

He asked in a trembling voice.

"It's me!" It's his wife's voice, "What are you doing when you keep the men closed? Get the men!"

Zhao Kaiyuan stuffed the iron box into the quilt and went forward to open the men. His wife Zhang walked in with a bowl of soup, complaining to him, "What are you doing when you lock the men in broad daylight?"

Zhao Kaiyuan sighed and sat down at the table with his head in his arms. Zhang mocked his forehead strangely, "Kailang, are you sick?"

Zhao Kaiyuan said in great pain: "I may not be able to survive this time!"

Zhang was shocked, "What are you talking about?"

"I didn't... nonsense!"

Zhao Kaiyuan grabbed his wife's hand and said tremblingly: "The King of Qi may rebel. I will be a complicit in my conspiracy. I have given him many weapons. Now someone is investigating this matter, Madam, this time

I really can't escape."

Zhang was also scared and trembled all over, "Why don't we leave now and escape to the south."

Zhao Kaiyuan shook his head, "If we escape, what will Dalang and Erlang do? They will be dead."

"Or, take them away, and the whole family will go together!"

At this time, Zhao Kaiyuan had slowly calmed down. He suddenly realized that things were not as bad as he thought. Yang Yuanqing might not have discovered the secret. Even if he knew something, he could not see the problem from his account.

.

I am so scared because I am guilty of being a thief. Instead, it is easy to arouse others' suspicion, especially Wang Jian's suspicion.

Zhao Kaiyuan thought for a long time, then mopped the iron box out of the quilt, wrote another note and put it in the iron box, hid it in the corner in front of his wife, and he whispered to his wife who was puzzled.

: "If something happens to me, you can dig out the iron box. I left a note in the iron box."

Wang Jian urged the horse to run all the way and rushed into Taiyuan City. He soon arrived in front of a mansion. He turned over and got off the horse, and went forward and knocked on the men. Men's squeak!', and opened a crack.

It was a young man. When he saw that it was Wang Jian, he pulled the men away. Wang Jian flashed into the men, and men closed again with a bang.

"Is Chen Zongjun here?" Wang Jian asked the man who opened the men.

"The Palace Prison, it was the gust of wind that blows you today!" A man walked out with a hearty smile.

This man was over thirty years old, with big ears and fair skin. He was Chen Zhiwei, the confidant of King Yang Hsu of Qi. He came to Hedong to inspect the manor on Yang Hsu's order. He had just arrived in Taiyuan three days ago, and the house he lived in was

It was arranged by Wang Jian.

Seeing that Wang Jian was a little nervous, Chen Zhiwei closed his smile and asked, "What happened?"
