After farming, the big devil, she's salty

Chapter 191

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, none of them could come up with a reasonable guess.

At this time, Jin Yao had an idea, and suddenly thought: "You said before that it was the warlord who suddenly came to investigate the private minting of copper coins, and that's why you found out that there was something wrong with the military pay and food, didn't you?"

Shen Yun nodded: "What do you think?"

Jin Yao pursed his lips and looked at a few people: "Is there such a possibility that the servant of the household department exchanged fake copper coins for real copper coins from the very beginning in order to frame Lord Hou, and then borrowed someone else's hand to transfer The fake copper coins are transferred out. Then, make a fake ledger."

"This..." Di Lei clenched his fists, "It's impossible. The military pay is of great importance, and the accounts in the army will be checked by Fasuan himself. It is impossible for him not to recognize the fake copper coins from the real ones."

Shen Yun frowned and nodded: "I also feel that Mr. Liu is someone we trust. He once lived and died with my father, and he will definitely not do such a thing."

Jin Yao spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders: "Then what if the fake copper coins are enough to confuse the real ones? With such a large amount of military pay, there will always be omissions, right?"

"In this way..." Shen Yun and Di Lei seem to be more willing to accept this statement, and nodded, "It seems that there is such a possibility. I have received fake copper coins before, and the copper coins are almost as good as the real ones. It's exactly the same. It's hard to tell."

Di Lei gritted his teeth, thumped the table, and stood up: "Wait, I'll tell Lord Hou about this right away."

"Wait—" Han Yu frowned, and called Di Lei back, "It won't help if you go now, you don't have any real evidence to prove that the Minister of the Household Department is related to this matter. What can a tattoo say? ?”

Di Lei sighed when he heard the words, and turned back: "I was a little too impatient."

"Let's go and investigate first." Jin Yao said again, "This matter is of great importance, and private casting of copper coins is a capital crime. The imperial court had already wiped out a group of private casting gangs of copper coins, but I didn't expect that they would come back from the ashes and be able to fight with the court. The important ministers colluded, and it seems that the other party has a lot of background."

Shen Yun clenched her fists: "Seeing that the truth is right in front of us, my father is still being wronged. The emperor gave my father a month to thoroughly investigate this matter. If my father can't clear up the grievances, our Shen family may have to..."

As she spoke, Shen Yun's eyes began to turn red.

Jin Yao stretched out his hand and patted Shen Yun on the back: "Don't worry. It's not impossible to solve this matter. What Hou Ye needs most now is time, and the other party wants to kill Hou Ye again and again, so our top priority, It is to make up for the military pay and food first. I can also take this opportunity to see if there are any ghosts."

When Di Lei heard Jin Yao talking about the inner ghost, he felt a little dissatisfied: "We are all out..."

"Yes, they are all brothers who were born and died." Jin Yao smiled with a half-smile, "But General Di, if everyone in the army is really so innocent, why do deserters appear every year and have such a bad style of work?"

"..." Di Lei couldn't refute immediately.

"Don't blame me for maliciously speculating on others." Jin Yao poured a cup of tea and handed it to Shen Yun, "I am a businessman, and what I am best at is seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, but in fact this logic is only put on the surface by us businessmen. Many people have this thought, so it's not a bad thing to be more careful, is it?"

That's the truth, but for an upright person like Di Lei, doubting his brother is a hurdle in his heart.

Shen Yun took a sip of her tea and nodded: "You are right. I agree with your proposal. But the question now is... where do we get the money and food? This is not a small sum of money. The number is a full 70 taels."

When Jin Yao heard this, the corners of his eyes twitched immediately: "The soldiers stationed in the capital are really extraordinary, they are so rich."

Shen Yun coughed lightly: "I just laughed."

Jin Yao paused, and looked at Shen Yun: "70 taels should be available for your Houfu, right? Could it be that the Houye didn't even save any savings these years?"

"It's really not much." Shen Yun rubbed his forehead, "My father has always been frugal, and the money he has saved over the years has basically been used to donate to the victims of the disaster. In the past few years, the border guards have been attacked and harassed, and the people are struggling. My father opened his own car a few times. The private treasury, right now, we really can’t get out 70 taels.”

Listening to this, Jin Yao couldn't help feeling admiration for Lord Shen: "Your Lord is really a hero of the generation. No wonder he is so admired by all people."

"That's natural." Di Lei raised his eyebrows proudly, then sighed again, "It's just that if something like this happens now, even if there are past achievements, it may arouse the Emperor's fear."

Should have been afraid...

One will eventually become eternal dry.

Jin Yao suddenly thought of this sentence.After a pause, she rolled her eyes and said, "Why don't we ask the Chengyue Chamber of Commerce for help? The Gu family is so rich."

Han Yu's eyes twitched: "The Chengyue Chamber of Commerce is also suspected of embezzlement of food and grass this time, how could it be willing to help? Besides, merchants do not participate in the affairs of the government, if it is because of Gu Cheng'an, what if Lord Hou can't clean it up?"

"..." Jin Yao coughed twice and blinked, "I just said that casually, don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously."

Han Yu said coolly: "You really want to ask Gu Chengan for help?"

Jin Yao: "...No."

"I think you do."

"I said no, it's not." Jin Yao angrily grabbed a walnut and threw it at Han Yu, "I'm not a fool. Is it okay to relax?"

Han Yu: "..."

Around noon, Di Lei and Shen Yun still had some matters to go back to the Hou Mansion, so they didn't stay in Mingyun Pavilion any longer.

Jin Yao gave Di Lei two bottles of pills and told him: "This is the antidote for the golden snake venom. It will be useful when you interrogate those people. One pill can relieve the pain caused by the toxin, and five pills can relieve the pain." Poison. How to use it depends entirely on General Di."

Di Lei accepted it gratefully, and cupped his fists: "Thank you, Miss Jin Yao."

Jin Yao smiled faintly, and watched Shen Yun and Di Lei leave.

Standing beside her, Han Yu suddenly felt a hostile gaze.He frowned, and his eyes flew to the alley opposite.

In an instant, the other party disappeared without a trace.

"It seems that the people from the Chengyue Chamber of Commerce are still staring at me. Don't worry, Ah Yun said, there are many traps in Mingyun Pavilion, if they want to die, they can break in at any time."

Jin Yao grabbed Han Yu's hand and walked inside, then closed the door immediately.

Back in the house, Han Yu and Jin Yao meditated together and entered the medicine space.

"What are you looking for?"

Seeing Jin Yao floating around in the space, Han Yu couldn't help asking.

"Find out what valuable treasures I have here. If there is no accident in this auction, I will gain a lot. But I don't mind selling more things."
