The Golden Age Chapter 452: A clever tongue is like a spring

Xue Ke used to lead people to wait in front of the Yamen of the Ministry of War. After Han Zhou was brought into the Yamen by Deng Taichu, the servant of the Ministry of Housing, he did not come out for a long time.

It's just a short half-day, enough time for things here to spread back and forth on Suzaku Avenue.

So all the yamen on Suzaku Street already had a foreboding that a storm was coming.

The case of Fan Wenzheng of the Ministry of War has just ended. No one thought that a new storm would come so quickly.

Moreover, the people in the various branch offices are well aware that this storm is by no means comparable to Fan Wenzheng's case.

The case of Fan Wenzheng was destined from the very beginning.

Losing Xiling, Fan Wenzheng, who is the chief of the Ministry of War, did not take the initiative to appeal to the court, and even deliberately concealed it, and wanted to involve other yamen to protect himself, but he was self-righteous but used stupid methods in the panic. Killer, that is the result that everyone expected.

But this time, the situation is obviously completely different from the last time.

The adults sitting in the yamen are mostly cultivating foxes for thousands of years. Using the clues that Xue Ke revealed in front of the military department, these old foxes have quickly guessed the doorway behind them.

Adults know very well that there are only two possibilities for shoddy, greedy Mexican military expenses, and impervious to doing this.

One is that this thing is indeed a seamless plan. The people behind the plan have amazing strategies and skills, and they can do things secretly under the eyes of the emperor.

The other possibility is that the noble man behind the scenes is too harsh. People involved in this matter are all cautious. No one dares to divulge a word, or even if it’s outside People saw the clues, but they were also afraid of the power of the nobleman.

Under the eyes of the emperor, a major case involving several yamen was involved. The **** knew nothing about it, and even the group of eunuchs in purple robes were unaware of it. It really didn't make sense.

Everyone can guess the ending of Fan Wenzheng's case from the very beginning, but no one knows what will happen next in this big corruption case.

But everyone understands that no matter how you develop, all you have to do is to avoid as far as you want, and you can’t say a word of what you shouldn’t say.

If you shrink your head, you may not be able to guarantee that you will not be implicated, but if you stick your head out, you will be dead.

So after Xue Ke opened the box and smashed the knife, the siyamen quickly took their own people back into the yamen, and the entire Zhuque Street was empty, and even the guards in front of the siyamen no longer looked at the war department. .

In front of the Yamen of the Ministry of War, Xue Keyong and his subordinates are only Qin Xiao and Xu Lang who are from the Department of Armed Services.

When the Dongchuang incident occurred, the Department of the Japanese Treasury Department was the scene of the crime. As the Lingling and Shuling officials of the Department of Treasury, Qin Xiao and Xu Lang naturally could not continue to sit firmly in the armory.

After a long time, I finally saw Deng Taichu come out again and said to Xue Ke: "Xue Keyong, I am very big. The Lord Butang has sent someone to guard Han Zhou and ask him to do this. The whole story was explained. You take your people to the Sifang Pavilion first, and don't leave Beijing for the time being." After a cough, an official came up immediately, but it was the C character library who ordered Fei Qiji, which Qin Xiao recognized.

Fei Qiji came up, very kind, and gave Xue Ke a hand: "Leader Xue, the next official will send you to the Sifang Pavilion."

Sifang Pavilion is under the jurisdiction of Hongyou Temple. It is mainly used to receive envoys of Sifang belonging to foreign states. Now it is also used to entertain local foreign officials. Foreign officials enter Beijing. Officials above Grade 5 can stay in Sifang Pavilion. .

Xue Ke seemed very calm at this moment, and handed over to Deng Taichu: "Master Deng, but I don't know when will General Bei get his weapons and leave Beijing?"

"Xue Keyong, since this matter is so troubled, when you leave Beijing, the official really can't give you an answer." Deng Taichu looked indifferently: "You go to Sifangguan and wait for the news first. Master Tang asked me to bring you a sentence, since you exposed the warehouse dance

The Ministry of Defense will not sit idly by and the court will not let it go, and will always investigate it thoroughly. "

Xue Ke arched his hands and said: "Then the humble general will be waiting at the Sifang Pavilion!" Not nonsense, Fei Qiji led the way, and Xue Ke led his hands to get off the people and leave, and the cars with broken swords stayed in front of the military department. .

When Deng Taichu saw Xue Keyong leave, he ordered the guards to drive the carriages down and guard them first. He saw Qin Xiao and Xu Lang standing under the steps, frowning and coldly said: "How is the weapon depot now? ?"

"In reply to your lord's words, the guards of Wu Defang have already blocked the entry way, and no one is allowed to enter or leave for the time being." Qin Xiao said respectfully.

"You guys come in with me!"

Qin Xiao and Xu Lang followed Deng Taichu into the Yamen. Deng Taichu took the two directly to Dou Yan. Dou Yan stood by the window, carrying his hands on his back, looking at the big tree outside, even though he heard from behind. Footsteps, but did not look back.

There was no shadow of Han Zhou in the room.

"My lord, Qin Xiao and Xu Lang brought it here."

Dou Yan turned around. Qin Xiao saw the clouds on his face, and his expression was extremely gloomy. He saw Dou Yan sweeping Xu Lang's gaze over Xu Lang, landing on Qin Xiao's face, and said coldly: "Qin Xiao, Jia The font library is guarded by you. Han Zhou just said that those weapon boxes are piled up in the corner, and it is impossible for ordinary people to carry weapons from there. Is there anything wrong with this?"

"Back to your lord, I don't understand what you mean."

Dou Qu sneered and said: "You don't understand? The officer asks you, do you know that the corners are all inferior weapons?"

"I know." Qin Xiao didn't deny it.

"My official asks you again, is it because of you that Xue Ke found these weapons?" Dou Yan's eyes were sharp, and he stared directly at Qin Xiao's eyes: "Did you deliberately let Xue Ke use these inferior weapons? Use discovery, and then make it public?"

Xu Lang didn't wait for Qin Xiao to speak, and already said: "Returning to Lord Butang, if it weren't for Qin Ling's intentions, Xue Keyong would never have discovered these weapons. Humble was forced to stop by him at the time. It was too late. At the time, I asked the person from the Armed Treasury Department. It was Qin Ling who brought Xue Ke into the warehouse, and he deliberately led Xue Ke to find these weapons. He... he was sinister in his heart, deliberately. Let our Ministry of War fall into disaster."

Although Qin Xiao is Xu Lang's boss, but the Dongchuang incident happened, Xu Lang knew that he was already dying, and he was full of resentment towards Qin Xiao.

"Qin Xiao, what do you want to say?" Deng Taichu on the side said with a cold face: "Eating food from the Ministry of War, but also smashing the pot of the Ministry of War, so you can eat something inside and out."

Qin Xiao didn't change his face, looked into Dou Yan's eyes, and asked, "Master Ministry, I am sorry for my humble position. I dare to ask the Ministry. There are inferior weapons stacked in the corner of the warehouse. Does the Ministry know about it?"

Dou Fan was startled, and immediately said: "This officer...this officer naturally doesn't know. This officer has never been in charge of Wu Defang, nor has he ever been in the weapon storehouse. How can he know that there are inferior weapons inside. "

"In this way, the Ministry does not know that there will be broken weapons in the warehouse, and it is even more impossible to know that someone has shoddy and stored weapons that cannot be used at all in the weapons warehouse?" Qin Xiao looked serious. Looked at Dou Fu.

Dou Wei said angrily: "Of course the official doesn't know. If the official knows, how can he... how can he indulge, naturally he has reported the matter to the saint a long time ago."

"So, does Lord Servant know?"

Deng Taichu was like being stepped on his tail, and said anxiously: "Of course I don't know, Qin Xiao, you...what are you talking nonsense."

Qin Xiao sighed: "Master Ministry, there is something to say about the humble position, but Xu Lang is on the side, so it is not convenient to say the humble position."

"You...!" Xu Lang was very angry, but Dou Yan hesitated, and finally ordered: "Xu Lang, you go back first."

Xu Lang had no choice but to withdraw.

"Qin Xiao, you know that there is a problem in the warehouse, but you didn't report it to us in time. This is negligence of duty.

" Deng Taichu sneered: "You are an order officer of the Department of Arms and Treasury, and you don't know about it. What's the crime? "

Qin Xiao was calm and complacent, and asked, "My lord, if you report the matter to the two of you immediately after discovering your humble position, what will the two of you do?"

"Of course it is to report to the saint." Deng Taichu said in a deep voice: "I charge a shoddy, greedy Mexican military expenses. Of course I will not suppress such a big thing."

Dou Yan also nodded and said: "Since the officer is in charge of the Ministry of War, this kind of lawlessness will never cover up."

"The humble post also believes that the two adults will immediately play to the saint." Qin Xiao sighed: "The humble post didn't report it in time, it was selfish."

"selfishness?"

"The humble post is owed to the great love of the master of the ministry, staying in Kyoto for reuse, the cultivation of the adults, the humble duty is always in my heart." Qin Xiao said softly: "So the selfishness of the humble duty is to protect the adults."

Dou Wei laughed strangely and said: "Qin Xiao, you eat what you eat, help Xue Ke to shake the matter out, put the Ministry of War in the whirlpool, and dare to say that you want to protect the officer? You little one. The commander, what can he do to protect the official, it’s just nonsense."

"Master Ministry, who is behind this corruption case?" Qin Xiao did not rush, "As far as the humble duty knows, it is impossible to do such a thing only by the Treasury Department of the Hyobu. If it is done, the Department of Arms and Arms of the Ministry of Industry and the Department of the Ministry of Households that check the number of weapons will all be involved."

Dou Fan knows this very well. It’s just that Qin Xiao has just arrived, and at a young age, he didn’t expect that he could figure out the pros and cons. Naturally, the master of the ministry didn’t know that Qin Xiao had some tricks behind him. Gu Baiyi analyzed the situation for him.

"Go on!" Dou Yan looked solemn.

"The adults are more aware than the humble position. They can mobilize the people of the three yamen for his use, and they can do it quietly. Even the Butang adults can know nothing. It can also be seen that the status and skills of the people behind are definitely not Normal." Qin Xiao stepped forward, approached Dou Yan, and whispered: "If the two adults directly report the matter to the saint, the one behind will definitely regard the two adults as a thorn in the eye. If the two report If you expose him but can't bring him down, you will definitely be victimized. That person can't spare both of you."

Deng Taichu glanced at each other with a solemn expression.

"If two adults make a report, they are likely to put themselves in danger." Qin Xiao sighed: "If the humble servant told the two of the truth, the two would not report the report, or even suppress the matter. Then the situation will be even more serious. The corruption case may not be discovered for a while, but it is like a sharp sword hanging over the head, and it may fall one day, and the time will be long. If one day the East Window incident occurs, The two adults can’t escape the guilt anymore. So as long as they report to you the fact that there are inferior weapons in the warehouse, the two adults will be in a dilemma. No matter how they choose, they will be in a dangerous situation."

Dou Fan frowned and said: "If you don't tell us, can you protect us?"

"Naturally, it is possible." Qin Xiao said with a faint smile: "The two adults don't know this, that's a matter of course. Now that the Dongshuang incident is happening, the court is held accountable, the head of the Ministry has just been promoted to the Minister of War, and there is not much time. Even if there are mistakes under the Ministry of War, it is not entirely possible to blame the adults. The adults are at best only a slight oversight. No one thinks that the adults are also involved in this corruption case. But if the case is delayed any longer. , Maybe it will be discovered after three or two years. At that time, Master Ministry was in charge of the Ministry of War for several years. Someone in the weapon store had done tricks and the Ministry didn’t know anything about it. Not only would the crime of oversight be more serious, but the most important thing was I am afraid that some people will really suspect that the adults are directly related to the corruption case."

Dou Yan's body was shaken, Qin Xiao saw this and said softly: "So not only the adults cannot know in advance, but they must also be revealed as soon as possible. The current situation is actually the best for the two adults. If the situation is delayed, it will be very detrimental to the two adults." He handed his hands and said sincerely: "In order to repay the master’s kindness, he is a humble person to make claims, and use Xue Keyong to expose the case. If the adults I feel that the humble job is not doing the right thing, and the humble job is willing to receive punishment!"
