After the rebirth, the queen took the Meiqiang tragedy script

Chapter 151
That night, Ye Qinghuai had a nightmare.

She dreamed of her previous life.

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the army is overwhelming.

She holds the epee Longyon, just to protect the last dignity of the royal family.

Lu Yanchen knelt in front of her, dressed in black armor, exuding a terrifying smell of blood from head to toe.

No matter what Ye Qinghuai said or scolded, he was unmoved, and just lowered his head silently.

After a long time, he raised his head.

He looked at Ye Qinghuai from bottom to top with his dark eyes, his eyes shone with a dangerous light, piercing into her heart like a sharp knife.

Lu Yanchen was half-kneeling, but like a beast ready to go, it might jump up at any moment and swallow her alive.

Just this one glance woke Ye Qinghuai up.

In the fourth watch, Jingshou Palace was silent, and there was a bit of early summer moisture in the air.

Ye Qinghuai raised her hand and touched her wet forehead.

She was sweating so much.

Ye Qinghuai gasped slightly and closed her eyes.

As soon as she closed her eyes, Lu Yanchen's eyes with hidden blades appeared in front of her eyes again, which made her feel lingering fear.

Normally, Lu Yanchen was calm and introverted. Ye Qinghuai studied under him for three years and rarely saw him get emotional.Just like his eyes that are always calm and calm.

Lu Yanchen's eyes were darker and deeper than ordinary people's, like the surface of a still sea.

It was impossible to see what he was thinking, as if all the emotions were hidden under the calm sea.

So when his eyes showed light and sharpness, Ye Qinghuai instinctively felt scared.

It was as if a corner of the curtain had been opened accidentally, and a glimpse of the monstrous waves brewing under the calm sea.

Suddenly, Ye Qinghuai recalled the look he gave Lu Yanchen when she pulled her closer during the day.

That's the look.

An aggressive look that was completely different from the Lu Yanchen she knew.

She couldn't help but think of the traitor Lu Yanchen who carried the head of a man to the palace to force the palace, and the God of War Lu Yanchen who killed one enemy with a hundred flying swords in Donglinmen.

Ye Qinghuai frowned slightly, a question slowly rose in her heart.

Could it be that this is Lu Yanchen's original appearance? ——
On the fifth day of May in the third year of Suihe, Gu Haiwang led an army of [-] troops from the capital to support Yunzhou.Five days later, the battle report came from the front line, and the entire north bank of the Baishui River was abandoned. The [-] main force of Yunzhou was stationed at various positions on the south bank of the Baishui River in battalion units, and the remaining [-] troops were being organized.

The war is about to start.

The news quickly spread in central Beijing, and there was looting in the Yanshi grain market and medicinal materials.Fortunately, the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Jingzhao Mansion made preparations in advance, opened warehouses and released official salt and official grain to the market, and issued a price limit order to stabilize the price.

However, the restrictions are limited, and there are many merchants in the market who can live with rare goods. These people always have a way to speculate and make money.Things that are in short supply in the market are sold at high prices on the black market, but people who really need these salt, food and medicinal materials to save their lives cannot buy them.

For a while, the streets of Beijing were full of policemen and traders.

The Criminal Department, which has just changed its commander, is brightly lit every night, and it is running at high speed with the efficiency of promulgating one or two new laws almost every day.

During the war, the six departments and three divisions were all busy.

For several consecutive days, none of the mornings could end before noon.

And it was far more than that that gave Ye Qinghuai a headache.

"He Qingchang, is what you wrote in this notebook true?"

In Wenxuan Hall, Ye Qinghuai was sitting by the desk, behind her hung the map of the Northland, with many small flags of different colors tied on it.

He Qingchang stood five steps ahead of the case with his head bowed, and the candlelight in the hall reflected his haggard face.

Ye Qinghuai was clutching a booklet in her hand, her face was very ugly, although her voice was calm, the hand holding the booklet was already turning white due to exertion.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the matter is very important, and I dare not lie about it." He Qingchang replied quickly, and then said, "And I suspect that it is not only this batch of military rations that is the problem. The batch of military rations, and the follow-up rations may all be suspected of being adulterated. The minister has asked the rear army supply battalion to investigate one by one, and the number will be available tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Xing Wenzhong, the Minister of the Ministry of War, had previously reported the adulteration of military rations in Beijing in secret documents. Although Ye Qinghuai was mentally prepared, he did not expect the situation to be so serious.

Only more than 3 stone soldier grains have been shipped out of the warehouse, and the phenomenon of adulteration has already begun to appear.

It can be seen that the 200 million shi grains in Beijing are basically adulterated.

Moreover, according to He Qingchang's notes, what was mixed was not rice bran, but gravel.

Inedible grit at all.

Ye Qinghuai was silent and asked, "Is this the first time you know about this?"

He Qingchang didn't seem to have expected Ye Qinghuai to ask such a question, and asked in puzzlement, "What is Your Majesty talking about?"

"The adulteration of soldiers and rations." Ye Qinghuai didn't play tricks with him either.

Since He Qingchang's deputy had secretly reported it, it is very likely that He Qingchang knew about it a long time ago.Even, the secret booklet was ordered by him.

He Qingchang lowered his head and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have doubts. But... there is no evidence."

"How did you get suspicious?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the Ministry of War will have a contact with the Sinong Division of the Ministry of Households every winter and month, just to check how much of the grain that has entered the warehouse this year is stored as military rations, and to count the inventory of military rations in previous years. The annual expenditure plan. As usual, the Ministry of War will ask Sinong to open a granary to cooperate with spot checks. But in the past three years, the people sent by the Ministry of War have not been able to enter any other granary except the main granary." Speaking of here , He Qingchang's expression suddenly turned cold.

"Why?" Ye Qinghuai asked, she had a premonition in her heart, but she still wanted to hear from He Qingchang himself.

"Every time our people go, Sinong always has a reason to refuse to open the warehouse. Either the warehouse is getting rid of the tide and cannot open the door, or Qintian monitoring has determined that it is not suitable to open the warehouse in the near future. There is always a reason to shirk." He Qingchang paused. After a pause, he said, "The former servant of the Lian Bing Department also died on the outskirts of Beijing because of this incident."

Ye Qinghuai's face changed suddenly, and he asked, "What's going on?"

"The last servant of the Ministry of War was called Nie Zhuochen, who was transferred from the Zhongzhou Army the year before last. In the winter of the year before last, he heard from his subordinates that the granary of Sinongsi was not allowed to enter, so he only reported the number, so he went to the plateau in person and asked The governor of the warehouse opened the warehouse for inspection. He was young and stubborn. The Jingzhao Mansion said that he was found dead in a ditch under the plateau. At that time, the case was concluded...he stumbled and fell into the woods under the plateau, and was bitten to death by jackals in the woods."

"After Nie Zhuochen's death, Weichen also went to Sinongsi and asked them to open a warehouse." He Qingchang paused when he said this.

"Aren't they willing to open a position even if you go?" Ye Qinghuai asked.

He Qingchang shook his head and said: "Later, Mr. Gu told the ministers not to go. The collection and storage of grain is the business of the household department. They are better than us at how to count the grain put into the warehouse. We just need to ask for the number. "
