Chapter 219
Yan Suizhi also got up to follow, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shen Lingfeng didn't treat him as an outsider either. Since he was determined to be his future sister-in-law, seeing that his younger sister was a little flustered by what he said, he replied directly: "My second uncle is the prefect of Chenzhou, and Chenzhou has a relatively With a complete mine vein, the common people make a living from mining and blacksmithing, so it belongs to a relatively rich place."

"Three-quarters of the ore veins are to be turned over to the imperial court for making equipment and other purposes, and one-fourth is to be placed in the prefect's treasury, and my second uncle and the people in the government office will take care of them for preparation It can be used by the imperial court when needed.”

"But just today, a secret report was sent to Beijing, saying that the ore from the treasury of the Chenzhou government had disappeared. Some courtiers suspected that my second uncle was stealing it from the guard, and wanted to investigate. My second uncle's family was brought under control."

Above the magistrate is Zhizhou, the most important official of the state. Ore is a very important resource for Quning, and in recent years, the ore in Chenzhou has been dug less and less, and the reserve resources have become very important. Now it is lost. He said he would also be charged with dereliction of duty.

Zhizhou is also doomed, they are all under the control of the guards.

"Brother, don't worry, let's go back to the house and talk about it."

At this time, Shen Jiayu was still relatively calm, and Yan Suizhi also said: "The truth has not been clarified yet, Father will not convict directly."

"Ore is not a trivial matter. You must know that our small border countries are very scarce. If it falls into their hands, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Shen Lingfeng also knew the general situation from Shen Lingyun, because his father and second brother were both in court, so they could get first-hand information. He was a little more closed in the barracks, and smiled wryly: "I'm not as good as you two. All right."

The three of them went back to Shen's residence together. Shen Xingchao was walking back and forth in the main hall, while the old lady and Yu Shuiyao were sitting on the right seats. Old lady Shen closed her eyes and was thinking about something. Yu Shuiyao was annoyed by his turn, so she stood up and grabbed his arm.

"Xing Chao, don't turn around, it's better to sit down and calm down."

Shen Lingyun is still in Taichang Temple, he can't leave his post without permission, even though there are no big things in normal life except checking the music scores, rehearsing music and dancing, he has to be present, and he can't help with this matter, the emperor won't Let the Shen family and people from the Yu Mansion intervene in this matter.

"Father, can you decide who to go to investigate?"

Yan Suizhi asked.

With juniors around, especially his precious daughter, Shen Xingchao didn't want her to be infected by his anxiety.

"No, the crown prince volunteered himself, thinking that this matter would endanger the foundation of the army and the country. As the prince, he should take the lead and investigate clearly. The emperor said that he would consider it."

In the early court, the emperor asked his opinion, and Shen Xingchao naturally argued with reason, saying that he knew his brother well and would never do such a thing, and that he had been in Chenzhou for more than eight years, working hard for the well-being of the people, He has a good government and harmonious people, and he has great prestige and reputation among the people.

"It stands to reason that the loss of minerals is a major event and it is imminent. The emperor should send someone to investigate immediately, recover the minerals first, and then investigate the responsibility. Why did the prince recommend himself, but the emperor did not agree at the first time? If it is done This matter is a great achievement, and the prince's reputation will rise to a higher level."

"Either Father has other plans and already has the best candidate in his heart, or he is just waiting to plan something."

Yan Suizhi's mind was full of thoughts, and he got up suddenly and said: "You don't have to worry too much, this matter must have a lot of meaning, as long as you don't convict Shen Zhifu for a day, there will be a turnaround, I can ask for this errand, just make a side note Father's opinion."

"Your Highness, are you going to Chenzhou?"

Shen Jiayu asked, of course she was very worried about her second uncle, but this happened at this point in time, so she had to think about it, this was another plot of the prince, maybe it was not only aimed at her second uncle, but also Yan Suizhi is also his target.

Yan Suizhi shook his head: "I'll go into the palace to see the situation, don't worry, I won't be reckless."

Shen Xing said: "It's time to work."

Shen Jiayu was anxious. She was afraid that the plot described in the book would reappear, but she had never read the story with herself as the protagonist, so she could only learn about it through the barrage. Fortunately, the barrage never disappointed her.
