Chapter 190: Counting the treasury and the wind

"Okay, okay, then I will rest assured. Please relax, sir. I will definitely find out the truth about this matter this time and make the two of you clear the innocence." Zhao Li said

Zhang Sheng, who was watching the show on the side, could clearly feel that the faces of the two people on the opposite side had become unnatural, although they quickly returned to their original state.

However, the previous changes can't be hidden from Zhang Sheng's eyes. Zhang Sheng is very happy now. After all, this is a good show. Such scenes are rare on weekdays.

Qin and Lu were no longer in the mood and were chatting with Zhao Li, so Lu Feng said, "Mr. Zhao, Uncle Yongyi, it's still late, let's talk while walking?"

"Okay, let's talk while walking?" Zhao Li said

Then the three of them chatted for a few more times, then got up and walked out. Zhang Sheng seemed to have just reacted and hurriedly got up and walked with him.

Along the way, the three of them arrived at the warehouse, talking and laughing, but as soon as they arrived at the warehouse, Qin and Lu realized something was wrong.

Because the warehouse was surrounded by soldiers at this time, as if something big happened, Lu Feng said, "This, what's going on? Where are you soldiers?"

"Hey, Lord Lu, don't panic. These are the soldiers I asked Yongyi Bo to dispatch. They are here to help count the warehouse."

"After all, they are all copper ingots, and the weight is not light. You may not be able to match the strength of the minor officials in the yamen of the governor."

"These soldiers are different. Look at them, they are all strong in their bodies, and it is the most suitable for doing the chore of counting the warehouse." Zhao Li said

"But, but this is not the same as the rules. After all, it is a warehouse. It just makes people go in and out at will. What if something goes wrong?" Lu Feng said.

"Well, what Lord Lu said makes sense. This warehouse is really not suitable for these soldiers to enter. I think it's better to let the people from the governor's yamen come." Qin Haichuan said

"Hey, Lord Qin, you're too worried. I think it's better. Let these soldiers go in with the people from the governor's yamen. Isn't that enough?" Zhao Li said

"This, Lord Zhao is really thoughtful. I think that's what I can do." Qin Haichuan knew when he heard this, he was prepared and could only agree.

Although Lu Feng still had some opinions, he stopped talking after hearing the transformation of Qin Haichuan.

With the order, the gate of the warehouse was opened and everyone entered one after another. The soldiers of the Jianzhe camp and the minor officials of the governor's yamen had already started to work.

Of course, Zhao Li and the other two were not idle either. Zhao Li always wanted to see the copper ingots, while Qin and Lu always made excuses to pull Zhao Li and talk about things.

The three of them were very busy, but Zhang Sheng was completely idle and began to watch these people working and look at the copper ingots by the way.

As he looked at him, he found something wrong. The copper ingots in front of him were so angry that they seemed to have just been cast.

Moreover, these are not pure copper ingots, and some other things are mixed in it, but Zhang Shengke can't tell what it is.

But the things I saw were enough. Zhang Sheng walked to Zhao Li and the other two and said, "Father-in-law, come and take a look. Is the copper ingot in a bad shape?"

"What? The quality is wrong? What's wrong?" Zhao Li said

"Father-in-law, this batch of copper ingots is very angry. It seems that it has just been made. And there are things mixed in it, so the color is not pure." Zhang Sheng said

After hearing Zhang Sheng's words, the three of them changed their expressions. Zhao Zhaoli hurried forward, picked up a copper ingot and looked at it.

When I saw this, it was indeed as my son-in-law said. I was really angry and had an impure quality.

Qin and Lu were very uncomfortable at this time. They had already entangled Zhao Li, so that they could not carefully check the copper ingots.

But who would have thought that Zhang Sheng, who was not taken seriously by them, ruined their big things. The two of them changed their minds and thought about how to deal with Zhao Li.

However, Zhao Li didn't say much at this time. Not only that, he also gave Zhang Sheng a wink, telling him not to speak.

Time passed, and they didn't say anything during this period. Qin and Lu didn't know what to say, while Zhao Li and his son-in-law had other thoughts.

The atmosphere became so awkward for a moment. None of the four of them spoke, just waiting for the result quietly. Half an hour passed, and finally there was a result.

"Sir, the treasury has been checked and is no different from the numbers in the account book." said the accompanying official from the Ministry of Revenue.

"Well, thank you for your hard work. Today, anyone who participates in the inventory will have many rewards. If you are OK, go out and receive the reward." Zhao Li said

When the others heard this, they bowed and thanked Zhao Li for her rewards. They then left the warehouse. Zhao Li looked at them and slowly retreated.

After everyone left, Zhao Li was the last one to leave the warehouse, and then said to the accompanying official, "Come on, put a seal on this official, Shanxi treasury will be taken over by the Ministry of Revenue from now on."

After hearing the order, the accompanying officials immediately went to execute it. At this time, Qin and Lu were stunned. They did not expect Zhao Li to do this.

Isn’t this cutting off their retreat? You know, the copper ingots in the warehouse are not theirs, they are all borrowed from other places.

It was a good idea, but when I dealt with this case, I returned all the copper ingots. Now, they have been seized. How can I repay them?

"Mr. Zhao, isn't you doing this too much? This is the Shanxi treasury. You just sealed it up like this, isn't it right?" Lu Feng said.

"Yes, Lord Zhao, no matter what, this is my Shanxi treasury. You have sealed it up now. If the emperor blames it, you may not be able to explain it, right?" Qin Haichuan said.

"You two lords don't have to worry. Before I came, the emperor had already given the right to act cheaply. This time my official's duty is to investigate the treasury."

"So it is reasonable to seal the treasury. After all, I will report to the emperor when I return to Beijing this time."

"If something goes wrong in the treasury during this period, isn't that a crime of deceiving the king? Therefore, I must first seize the seal and wait until I return to Beijing to report to the emperor, and then unseal it. Only in this way can I ensure that everything is safe." Zhao Li said

After hearing Zhao Li's words, the two of them didn't know what to say for a moment. Zhao Li's words were reasonable and there was nothing big mistake, but he was right.

The two of them are not good. If Zhao Li really sealed the treasury, it will be difficult to take it out then.

If it is not good at that time, the copper ingots in the treasury will really belong to the Ministry of Revenue, and the two of them will be completely finished by then.

But the situation is stronger than that of others. Now here are all Yong Yibo's soldiers. The heroes don't suffer any losses in front of them, so they can't say anything.

After all, if you suffer a loss, there is no place to argue. Who would make Yongyi Bo a fool?

You can't compete with a fool, right? Isn't it a waste of fun to make trouble in the end? In the end, you'll make trouble in the capital, which is also a shame for you.

So they could only endure this matter and left with a ugly look. Zhao Li looked at this scene, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then disappeared.

The reason why he asked his son-in-law to transfer the soldiers from Jianzhu Camp today was to prevent these two people from having sex on the spot.

After today, they thought that the attack had no chance, and their first step was achieved.

At this time, Qin and Lu returned to the government office, retreated from the back hall, and then discussed countermeasures.

"Brother Qin, what do you think of this? Zhao Li sealed the treasury. How do we explain to which families? Then the capital city is connected behind it?" Lu Feng said.

"Brother Lu is a little worried. Things are already like this now. If you are anxious, you can't change anything, right? So just sit down and have tea." Qin Haichuan said

"I said, Brother Qin, what's the current form? Do you still have the heart to drink tea? The Luo surnamed, I don't know when it will arrive." Lu Feng said

"Brother Lu, although the situation is not good for us at the moment, we have the final say in Shanxi after all. Now it is just because of the first battalion of soldiers of Yongyi Bo."

"So we have to give in. When General Luo arrives, we don't have to tolerate everything. We still have to give in to them now and don't make them suspicious. This is the most important thing." Qin Haichuan said

"Brother Qin, that's right, but are you sure that Luo's surname will help us? You must know that this is a serious crime of raiding a family and extermination." Lu Feng said

"Brother Lu, don't worry, have you forgotten that he was involved in that incident, and he can no longer get rid of it." Qin Haichuan said

"That's good, that's good, then I'm relieved, Brother Qin, what should we do next? Just watch it?" Lu Feng said

"However, we can't just watch it. If we continue to watch it, he should doubt our backup plan. So no matter what he wants to do tomorrow, we will cause him some trouble."

"We can't let him be too comfortable, so that we can feel at ease and wait for General Luo's troops to arrive." Qin Haichuan said

After hearing this, Lu Feng felt relieved, but if he had to believe it, he was not that stupid.

After all, he has been an official for many years, so he still knows this. If he is really a fool, he will not be able to sit in this position.

At this time, the father-in-law and son-in-law were not idle, or Zhao Li was not idle either. At this time, he pulled Zhang Sheng and was thinking about what to do next.

"Son-in-law, I think their helper is on the way to come. You can't be careless now." Zhao Li said

"Don't worry, father-in-law, isn't it Luo Jin? Isn't it just me bragging to you, I dare not say that if there are too many, but if there are no 50,000 soldiers, don't try to eat me."

"He Luo Jin has no courage and mobilized so many troops without authorization. After all, he is on the border. Even if he is really cruel to transfer back, there is no need to worry."

"Now my soldiers are all in the city. If Luo Jin really sends a large army, at most he can close the city gate. I think he can do what he can do to us?"

"Taiyuan Prefecture is a capital. Even if he transfers all 100,000 border troops, he will not be able to attack in." Zhang Sheng said

"I will feel much more at ease with you with a virtuous son-in-law. Son-in-law, we have sealed the treasury today, and I plan to check the accounts directly tomorrow." Zhao Li said

"Father-in-law, you don't have to tell me these things. I don't understand them very much after you tell me. Just make the decision."

"I will start taking over Taiyuan City tomorrow, so I will be in a hurry. If you have nothing else to do, then I will make arrangements first." Zhang Sheng said

"Son-in-law, go quickly. Our safety depends entirely on you." Zhao Li said

After hearing this, Zhang Sheng stood up and left the study room, leaving Zhao Li alone here thinking about the next move.

At this time, in Datong, Luo Jin frowned with a letter in his hand, and at this time he was so upset.

It was because the letter was sent from Taiyuan, but not from Qin Haichuan, but from his own spy.

Looking at the letter in his hand, he felt a little regretful that he had sent troops to help Qin Haichuan before, so he shouldn't have mixed up with this muddy water.

But it's too late to regret it now. According to his estimate, at most, the soldiers he sent before would have arrived in Taiyuan in only two days.

Luo Jin regrets this now, so he shouldn't have sent troops. It's great now. What big things will happen at that time?

Luo Jin thought about it the more he became, the more wrong it became. He gritted his teeth and said, "Come on, prepare horses, I will go to Taiyuan City in person."

Soon the horse was ready, Luo Jin ordered a thousand cavalry and rushed towards Taiyuan City. He wanted to arrive at Taiyuan City before things got serious, otherwise everything would be too late.

The second day came in a flash. Zhang Sheng called Zhou Dun early in the morning and rushed to the camp in the city. He soon arrived at the camp.

As he arrived at the camp, the soldiers of the Jianzhu Camp scattered from the camp and quickly controlled the city gate.

The soldiers of the city defense camp did not dare to stop them at all, and Zhang Sheng's actions were soon discovered by all parties in Taiyuan City.

Among them is Fang Huan, the Taiyuan garrison who has been pretending to be dead. In addition to following Qin Haichuan and the others to welcome Zhang Sheng and the others at the beginning.

After that, he never showed up and kept hiding in his garrison palace. When the news of Zhang Sheng's actions reached him.

His face became very ugly, and he thought to himself, "After all, you still haven't escaped? Forget it, is it a blessing or a disaster or a disaster?"

He was really unlucky. The original Taiyuan garrison died of the previous turmoil and battle. He had just walked through the road and made up for this real shortcoming.

Before he could calm down for two days, he received news that the emperor wanted to send the Minister of Revenue to thoroughly investigate the Shanxi treasury. After hearing this news.

He has already decided to protect himself. After all, the previous incident has nothing to do with him. As long as he doesn't interfere with it, the disaster will not be found on him.

But unexpectedly, this disaster still happened. I didn't hide it. I just had to join the game.

Fang Huan got up and changed his official uniform, then walked towards the camp in the city. He wanted to find Zhang Sheng and ask him what it meant.

Although you, Zhang Sheng, is an earl, you can't bully others like this, right? Isn't this too much to take yourself seriously?

In the future, I will still be in the Shanxi realm. If I don’t make this happen this time, I will lose face in the future.
