The daily life of Dali Siqing

Chapter 74 Full Responsibility
"What did you say?!"

Faced with various affairs of the imperial court, the courtiers, big and small, have always been the calm Emperor Zhou, with a slight change of color.

"Qizuo superior! The five granaries in Gyeonggi, except Yongji warehouse, the other four warehouses all caught fire last night!" Yang Qingyuan, who was standing in the study, reported back.

Yesterday, when Yang Qingyuan led his troops to Ruifeng warehouse, the burning fire had already lit up half of the sky, not only Ruifeng warehouse, but also the Kaiyuan warehouse, Fengyuan warehouse and Anji warehouse that Li Xunhuan, Ye Jianhan and others went to. All on fire!
Overnight, the fire dragon burned the warehouse, and the food reserves for several years in Dazhou were burned, leaving only ashes!

"The four major granaries are on fire. Once there is a natural disaster or war, it will be difficult to support only one warehouse in Yongji!" Emperor Zhou's face was already ugly!A little carelessness will cause the society to be in turmoil, and he will be a sinner of the Zhu family at that time!
The irritable Emperor Zhou took a cup of tea and took a sip to calm his mind.

"Report to the superior! The Yongji warehouse has also been stolen! The original storage of 100 million shi grains now only has 20 shi left!"

"Boom!" The news of Yang Qingyuan made Zhou Di completely defenseless, and the teacup in his hand fell down!

Emperor Zhou, lost his composure!

"I see, the fire is fake?! Stealing food is real!! Who is making trouble? Intent to mess with me?!"

Emperor Zhou dropped the jade unicorn that was tightly held in his left hand to the ground.

But after all, Emperor Zhou calmed down after a while.

"Yang Qing! Sit down!"

At this time, only Yang Qingyuan and Emperor Zhou were left in the study room. Before Yang Qingyuan reported, Emperor Zhou dismissed the servant.

"Thank you sir!"

Yang Qingyuan sat in front of Emperor Zhou's desk, facing each other.

"Who else knows the details?!"

"Li Xunhuan, the censor of Gyeonggi, and Ye Jianhan, the head of the Anti-Purgatory Department of Dali Temple, accompanied the ministers to investigate the case and know the details. The rest of the people, even the University of Martial Arts, don't know the details!"

Emperor Zhou nodded. Although Yang Qingyuan was young, he was cautious and experienced enough in dealing with things. It is not appropriate to spread this matter to the outside world, otherwise it may cause changes.

"Li Xunhuan?! I remember that he was No.3 in the imperial examination in the same year as you!?"

"Exactly?! Li Yushi and Wei Chen are both Jinshi of Yong'an for 13 years!"

Emperor Zhou's eyes are a little more appreciative at this moment, Yong'an's 13-year imperial examination has almost gathered the aura of Dazhou's 20-year history.

Tianbang Wenkui, Wang Hua, mature and prudent, has the ability to govern the world, and his articles and scriptures are unparalleled, so he can be called all-rounder.

The second place in the local list, Yang Qingyuan, was born in a Taoist school, recommended by a national teacher, with poems and songs, the sky is full of heroes, his strategies are clear, and he shocks the world.

Tanhua, Li Xunhuan, came from an aristocratic family, a family of seven Jinshi, father and son three Tanhua, handsome and unrestrained, both civil and military.

There are also a lot of talents in the second list, which can be called the imperial examination with the most aura since he came to the throne.

These people are all the important ministers he left for the future kings to govern the country, but now this important task can only be handed over to the hands of two young people, Yang and Li.

Emperor Zhou handed a memorial to Yang Qingyuan: "Heavy snow in the north, the secret memorial of Jizhou governor! Jizhou had heavy snow three days ago, a snowstorm broke out, and the imperial court urgently needed food relief!"

After reading the memorial, Yang Qingyuan immediately understood the reason why Emperor Zhou lost his composure.

"Superior! At this time, Bing and Youzhou are too busy to take care of themselves, and now there is no food to adjust in Gyeonggi! The fire in the four warehouses can no longer be hidden, and the theft of Yongji warehouse must not be leaked! Otherwise, there will be chaos in Jizhou."

Yang Qingyuan understood what Emperor Zhou was worried about. Jizhou is the largest state in the world, and its population is still higher than that of Zhongzhou. If Jizhou is in chaos, King Zhao in the northern border must take action, and the world will be in chaos.

Yang Qingyuan didn't speak, but just watched Emperor Zhou with his eyes closed and thought quietly.

After a long time, Emperor Zhou said slowly, "At least 80 shi of grain is needed to ensure that the north is not chaotic, but now there is no grain in Gyeonggi! I will order the grain of Yuezhou, Yangzhou, and Jingzhou to go north, but far away Water is hard to put out near fire, and time is simply too late!"

"Yang Qing, the stolen food may be recovered in a short time!?"

Emperor Zhou looked at the young man sitting opposite him, with hope in his eyes.

"Whether the food can be recovered, I cannot say for sure, but I have a way to temporarily relieve the urgent need! But it needs the authorization of the superior."

As soon as this remark came out, Emperor Zhou was overjoyed.

"Yang Qing, but it doesn't matter!"

"I ask for your order to thoroughly investigate the case of the granary, and ask the superior to give you the power of discretion, especially the right to clean up the water transportation! With this privilege, I promise to raise at least 30 shi for the superior within seven days!"

Emperor Zhou understood half of it, "You mean that the stored grain is transported out of the capital by water! Then how do you raise grain!"

"Returning to the superior position, I dare not speak nonsense at this moment! It still needs to be verified, the water transportation is complicated, and I have no right to make arbitrary decisions, so I dare not make promises."

complex? !There was a trace of coldness in Emperor Zhou's eyes.

He is a generation of Mingjun who knows the forces in the capital like the palm of his hand, so of course he knows that the master behind the water transportation is the honorable group in the capital.

Most of them are founding heroes, but they are the last among them.

The top founding heroes are nothing more than King Zhongshan, King Kaiping, King Qiyang, and King Dongou.These four families were deeply favored by the late emperor, and there are still people serving in the army, their families are rich, and they would not do such out-of-style and illegal things.

The group of nobles in the middle basically died in Taizu's rectification movement to rectify law and order, almost disappearing in a fault-like manner.

The remaining earls and viscounts, who behaved well at the time, did not dare to go beyond the rules but stayed and became the biggest noble force today.

Now there are almost no people with real power in this group of nobles, and the title rewards are not enough for them to spend, so they put their ideas on Water Transport.

Emperor Zhou understood Yang Qingyuan's scruples.

"Yang Qing, I now order you to take charge of the case of the fire in the granary in Gyeonggi, and add the post of inspector of the water transportation. You are fully responsible for the size of the water transportation in Gyeonggi. If necessary, you can transfer the Imperial Forest Army of the Beijing Camp to Yanyi for help, and add Li Xunhuan As the Deputy Envoy of Water Transport Inspection, assisting in this case. The imperial decree is issued immediately!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Emperor Zhou got up and picked up the jade unicorn that fell to the ground but was not damaged at all, and handed it to Yang Qingyuan.

"Yang Qing, I don't care what method you use to raise food! The burden of the country is entrusted to you!"

……
-
At noon, the news of the fire in the four warehouses in Gyeonggi Province was known to all the cabinet elders and the six ministers.

Combined with the heavy snowfall in the northern border, the seemingly peaceful Gyeonggi has turned into violent waves under the undercurrent.

In Dali Temple, Yang Qingyuan was discussing the case, and Li Xunhuan, a non-staff member of Dali Temple, was also present.

Participants, Yang Qingyuan, Prime Minister of Dali Temple, Li Xunhuan, Supervising Censor, Ye Jianhan, Head of Robbery Department, Di Zhiyuan, Song Huifu, Tuiguan of Dali Temple, Tie Chengxuan, Ji Yaohua, Dali Temple's ink-clothed headhunters, and No. A master of cuteness, Xiaobai.

"Meow!"

Just as a group of people wanted to start a discussion, Xiao Bai rushed in from the window and lay down in Yang Qingyuan's arms.

Ji Yao on one side didn't know who to envy for a while.

"Everyone, the Holy Majesty ordered me to take charge of the Granary Case. According to the results of the investigation the day before yesterday, the Granary Case is inextricably linked to the Li Bailiang case, the Water Transport Plague, the Household Department member Zhao Dehan, and the Supervision Censor Qian Liangping."

Yang Qingyuan erected a wooden board in the hall, covered it with paper, and used it as a blackboard.

Putting Xiaobai on his shoulder, Yang Qingyuan picked up the penis on one side and walked to the edge of the board.

"The deaths of Li Bailiang, Zhao Dehan, Qian Liangping, and the porter of the Water Transport Wharf can be confirmed to be the same cause of death, isn't that true!? Mr. Song!"

Yang Qingyuan turned his attention to Song Huifu who was on the side.

"That's right. During the time when my lord was going to Yongji warehouse, I have already experienced the corpses of Lord Zhao and Lord Qian, and checked the files of the deceased in the Taiyuan Hospital and Jingzhao Mansion on the disease of the Water Transport Wharf. I can confirm that, They all died of blood drinking Gu."

Following Song Huifu's words, Yang Qingyuan recorded it on paper.

"After Zhiyuan's investigation, it can be confirmed that the case of Li Bailiang was led and controlled by the An family secretly!"

Di Zhiyuan nodded.

"Everyone, please see that Anjia is the largest grain merchant and bank merchant in the capital; the epidemic happened to porters and boatmen at the Water Transport Wharf; Li Bailiang is the largest shipping merchant on the Weihe River; Zhao Dehan, a member of the household department, was a former grain inspection officer. ; Qian Liangping, the supervisory censor, has just stepped down as the patrol censor; plus the theft of the Gyeonggi granary is on fire! Everything revolves around 'grain' and 'water transport'."

Yang Qingyuan wrote these incidents on paper, and it was these two key words that linked the facts of the case.

"Actually, from the general case, we can vaguely deduce that the behind-the-scenes gang led by An Jia colluded with the Gyeonggi granary to steal and resell the official grain of the imperial court, and then transport the stolen official grain out of the capital through water transportation."

Father Song Hui added here, "Zhiyuan and I went to Qian Yushi's home to investigate the scene, and found traces of rummaging in his home using the adult's grain revealing powder! Although the intruder tried his best to cover it up, he still left it behind." There are traces!"

Yang Qingyuan drew a circle on Qian Liangping's name, "Then everything is clearer now! After the forces headed by the An family stole the official food, Qian Liangping, the censor who inspected the water, discovered the clues of the water transportation! During the investigation, the The An family took the first step and killed the insiders of Water Transport, namely the boatman and Li Bailiang at the Water Transport Wharf."

"Afterwards, Zhao Dehan, who killed the accomplice, and Qian Liangping, who discovered the matter, learned that Brother Li, Jianhan, and I were going to Yongji Warehouse, so they set fire to the warehouse and destroyed all traces of the other four warehouses! Let us There is no way to find out!"

Through Yang Qingyuan's explanation and the graphics on the board, the truth of this series of shocking cases is slowly surfacing.

"Brother Yang, what should we do next!?"

Li Xunhuan was the person present besides Xiaobai and Ye Jianhan who was not good at criminal investigation. Although he saw the case clearly, he didn't know how to proceed.

(Xiaobai: Meow!)

(Ye Jianhan: ???)

"Mr. Song! Zhiyuan! You two have to work hard. You two immediately go to the four warehouses of Ruifeng warehouse, Kaiyuan warehouse, Fengyuan warehouse and Anji warehouse. I have ordered the imperial forest army of the Beijing camp to guard the scene. Responsible for investigating the scene of the fire! Sung Hyun! You lead someone to protect the two of you!"

"Yes!" Di Zhiyuan, Song Huifu, and Tie Chengxuan got up and said!
"Jianhan, you go to arrest Mr. Liu, who is connected to the six doors, and ask him to come to the house to talk about it!"

Ye Jianhan nodded coldly, this kind of job is the most suitable for him!
"Brother Li and Ji Butou will follow me to thoroughly investigate the matter of water transportation in Beijing! In this eventful autumn, I hope that you will unite sincerely and fulfill your duties! Serve the country!"

"Follow Jun's order!"

After everyone got up and took orders, they set off immediately!
