Shen Liuzhen laughed upon hearing this, leaned forward, looked at the treasurer's expression, and said in amazement:
"Oh, it seems that the Treasurer still knows that the rebellion is going to kill the nine clans, so why do you cooperate with the merchants and sell the armaments privately?"

When the treasurer heard this, his whole body twitched, especially now that his hands and feet were bound and thrown on the ground, like a scalded shrimp.

He opened his eyes wide and looked at Shen Liuzhen, then looked at the guards around him who were also Han Chinese, thought for a while and said:

"I warn you, I am only one who obeys orders. The high officials of the court turn a blind eye, and even His Majesty connives. This is not something you Han people can control. Be careful and lose your life."

Shen Liuzhen sat up straight again, and calmly said:
"Is there a possibility that His Majesty ordered the investigation?"

Hearing this, the treasurer trembled with his curly beard, his thin eye sockets became shallower due to shock, and the eyeballs almost fell off, and asked again:
"who are you?"

Shen Liuzhen looked at him with a smile and said:
"You can guess, I believe, with your intelligence, it should be easy to know who I am."

Hearing this compliment, the treasurer felt indescribably comfortable.

He has always been regarded as weak by the Xianbei people, and no one has ever recognized his strengths. Today, he was finally recognized by a person, such a "noble" person. The comfort in his heart is beyond words , the vigilance in my heart subsided a lot at once.

Although he rationally knew that now was not the time to be happy, or to have a good impression of his kidnapper, but he couldn't control it at all.

The treasurer looked at the very handsome young man in front of him, and saw that he was so calm, not afraid of Xianbei people and very close to His Majesty, finally a person appeared in his mind.

Someone he had only heard of, but never met.

"Are you... Shen Liuzhen's servant??" The treasurer asked cautiously.

The smile on Shen Liuzhen's face got bigger and bigger, the smile was sweet, even the dimples on his face were exposed, and he said:
"Yes, it's me."

Hearing this, the treasurer's eyes shook violently, and he became more and more terrified. He lay sideways on the ground, thinking for a while, his face ashen ashes, and suddenly sat up violently. While struggling, he said:

"Shen Shizhong, you are all big shots. I am a small warehouse treasurer. I can't afford to offend you. Give me a way to survive. I don't know anything."

Shen Liuzhen said gently:

"Don't be nervous, I know it's not easy for you, and I don't mean to deal with a small person like you, I just need to ask you a few words. In order not to embarrass you, in order not to let others know that I have hurt you, I specially let you People have tracked and searched for more than half a month, picked such an opportunity that no one knows, and invited you here."

When Shen Liuzhen said the last sentence, he raised his sleeve and pointed at the treasurer.

The treasurer looked at how he was being tied up, and was speechless for a while.

Seeing that he had calmed down, Shen Liuzhen got to the point and asked:

"Let me ask you, who is the person who asked you to make bad scale armor and distribute it to the central camp the day before the acting competition?"

When the treasurer heard this, his whole body froze again, and he couldn't turn his mind.

Aren't you talking about... talking about reselling armaments?Why did you come here all of a sudden?
The treasurer looked at Shen Liuzhen, his eyeballs shook violently, and his heart turned sharply. After struggling for a while, he whispered a few words and said:

"I don't know what Shen Shizhong is talking about..."

When Shen Liuzhen heard this, a look of disappointment appeared on his delicate face, and he didn't say a word.

The moment of silence made people flustered, and the treasurer hastily explained:
"That was a mistake. I have already made it clear to Commander Xie, and she didn't pursue it, and neither did His Majesty..."

Liu Qinbing, who had been guarding Shen Liuzhen's side all the time, was furious when he heard this, and said:
"Damn, you think we are all fools. You recruited when you covered your head just now, and now you are talking nonsense with your eyes open?! Do you think we are easy to bully?"

The treasurer quickly shook his head in denial, and said with a mournful face:
"No, no... I was too scared just now, and I don't know what I said."

Liu Qinbing pointed at him angrily and said:
"You said just now that Xie Yuan didn't find any flaws and asked you to spare your life. So many of us have heard it. Why are you blaming it?"

"Oh... I really don't. Maybe you misheard me. I don't speak Chinese well, and I have an accent. I was in a hurry just now, and I used Xianbei dialect. It should be because I don't have money. You searched and didn't find any trouble. , just spare my life."

Liu Qinbing was completely pissed off by this guy. It was the first time he saw such a stubborn person. He took a step forward, rolled up his sleeves, pointed at him and threatened:

"Do you have to beat you up before you are willing to tell the truth?! I have tolerated you for a long time!"

"You want to torture me without evidence? Such a serious crime will kill me, and I will not admit it even if I am killed!" The treasurer cried out in fright.

At this time, Shen Liuzhen finally spoke up. He stood up from his chair, pulled the excited Liu Qinbing and said:
"Brother Liu, don't be so excited, he's right, you can't talk nonsense without evidence, and you can't hit people, it's too rude."

Liu Qinbing rolled his eyes when he heard this, thinking that this guy was going to mess with something again, so he took a few steps back and said:

"You come, you come...you don't come rude."

Shen Liuzhen then sat back again in a leisurely manner, and stretched out his hand to the side.

The one who stood by Shen Liuzhen was a spy. When he saw Shen Liuzhen stretching out his hand, he quickly took out a ledger from his arms and handed it over with both hands.

The treasurer watched such a thick ledger in Shen Liuzhen's hands, and thought:

This must have nothing to do with Xie Yuan's matter. I worked hard on my own, and I did it in a secret way. Even if someone notices it, it's just a matter of one or two sentences. How could there be such "thick" evidence? , must be lying to me.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and just looked at Shen Liuzhen, wondering what he would say.

Shen Liuzhen turned a few pages, shook his head and clicked his tongue, but didn't speak.He became more and more determined that Shen Liuzhen was cheating on him.

At this time, Shen Liuzhen's sparkling eyes lifted up, looked at the treasurer and said:

"On the ninth day of June in the year of Yihai, 200,000 longbows and 26 arrows were collected and sold back on August 8000, with a net profit of [-] taels of silver.

On September 26th of the year Yihai, 680 pieces of cotton-padded clothes were collected and sold back on September [-], with a net profit of [-] forty taels of silver. "

Shen Liuzhen shook his head, turned the account book to the end, and said:
"Let's look at the latest one..."

"Wait!" asked the treasurer in horror. "Where did you get this ledger?"
