    After receiving the letter, Mr. Gu quickly took a carriage back from the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

    With a stern face, he followed two or three aides into Gu Dezhao's study. Gu Wuye had been waiting inside for a long time. Gu Dezhao's two aides stood with their hands hanging, while he sat on the Dongpo chair with a pale face.

    Seeing his second brother coming back, Gu Dezhao hurriedly greeted him, and the boy brought an armchair over.

    "Please tell me everything clearly from beginning to end. What happened to the granary?" Mr. Gu asked in a deep voice.

    Gu Dezhao then recounted the matter while recalling it, and then talked about the situation of the granaries: "these granaries are under the supervision of Sun Shitao's granaries, and they belong to Tongcang. Daxing, Shi'an, and Tongzhou  There are thirty-five Tongcang in total. However, the granary in Tongzhou cannot be opened until there is a war, and thousands of households are in charge of it. The granary in Daxing is used to provide relief to the victims and stabilize food prices. It is under the supervision of the Ministry of Household Affairs. You all should check it.  Yuanxuncang Yushi is also one of them."

    "I am in charge of Cangyu, and I cannot escape responsibility for anything that happens to Daxing's granary. Sun Shitao is the one in charge, and he has disappeared When I went to look at the granary, the guards who were guarding it were still in the dormitory next to the granary.  Drinking here! I asked them to look at all the warehouses. In the Daxingtong warehouse that stores 360,000 shi of grain more than 200,000 shi were replaced with bran and old rice!"

    Second Master Gu felt a chill in his heart. More than 200,000 dan The Gu family could not fill this hole even if they lost everything!

    He said in a deep voice: "You should not have alerted these people at that time. If the matter spread, you would be immediately arrested by people sent by the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

    Gu Dezhao also had some regrets: "I was angry, anxious, and confused at that time. But I have already taken care of all those people. They are also afraid of something happening and don't dare to go anywhere to talk about it. In a few days, the position will be opened.  The rice is shipped to Shanxi Second brother, what should I do?"

    Mr. Gu didn't know either, so he said angrily: "Ask me how I know, and you still want to divorce me I am from the Metropolitan Procuratorate. If the incident comes to light, we will be accused of ventilating at this time."  Cheng Hang is colluding, don't talk about you when the time comes, I will be dragged into the water too!"

    Although he said that, Gu Deyuan couldn't really let it go.

    He thought for a while and said: "Have you asked those warehouse envoys? It's definitely not possible to smuggle out so much grain on others' backs. Let's ask everyone clearly. How much can be picked out?  How many."

    Gu Dezhao nodded and asked Manager Li to question him.

    After a while, Manager Li came back with a few documents in his hand.

    "After asking clearly, the warehouse envoy said that one month ago, Zhang Gu came over with the approval document with the seals of you and Director Sun, saying that he wanted to replace the grain with new grain. The old grain inside was transported out of the granary overnight."

    Gu Dezhao was dumbfounded. He took the document and read it. His face was very ugly: "I have never approved anything like this. There is not enough new grain this year and the price of grain is already high. 70% of the grain shipped to the capital went to the Wei warehouse.  , and 30% of it was sent to Tongzhou, and there was no surplus to go to Daxing!"

    Gu Deyuan frowned when he heard this: "Don't those warehouse envoys not know that the weight is wrong, and they can even fool the bran?"

    Manager Li lowered his hands and said: "The servants also asked, and they said Zhang Gu gave each of them ten taels of silver and said they should leave it alone. They thought the superiors had colluded to covet the food in the granary and took it.  Money says nothing.¡±

    "I have never seen this document" Gu Dezhao murmured. He had never seen this thing before, but it not only has his own seal on it, but also the seal of Dr. Tobe Cangyu. Where did this come from?  ?

    His things were placed in the Hubu Yamen, and Sun Shitao could pry into the cabinet and misappropriate them.  He has disappeared now

    Sun Shitao is trying to kill him!

    Gu Dezhao was very angry, and besides that, he was also very scared.  If Sun Shitao disappears, he will not bear all the responsibility!  Fortunately it was discovered early and there may be a remedy.  If it really can't be solved, he can surrender and be given a lighter sentence.  But if he didn't find out until a few days later when the imperial envoy brought people to move the food, I'm afraid his head would be in danger

    He said to Gu Deyuan: "Second brother, I never signed this document. Sun Shitao must have taken the seal from me. I'm afraid he was greedy for food and wanted to frame me"

    Mr. Gu Erye shook his head, "It's not that simple. He can't do this on his own. If something happens to the granary, it will involve Shanxi's disaster relief. We can't think like that."

    When a disaster breaks out in Shanxi, it stands to reason that the first thing to do is to exempt or reduce taxes, distribute relief money, and support the disaster areas first when grain is released from Changping warehouses in various places.  But the disaster information has come out, but the edict to reduce taxes has not yet been issued.?, the relief money from the Ministry of Household Affairs has been delayed again and again.  Anyone with a discerning eye can see what's going on.

    But Gu Dezhao¡¯s situation is different. Like them, he bears the label of the Ye family.

    Although the Ye family did not provide any substantial help to them, this is still a good statement.  Speaking more seriously, why does the Ye family of Changxing Marquis think so highly of you, the Gu family? They married their daughter over, but during the holidays, when the prince comes to see his eldest sister, there is not much contact between the two families on weekdays.

    But in the eyes of outsiders, they are just members of the Ye family faction, and they cannot argue with each other.

    "Anything that is greedy for ink is a taboo for officials.  Moreover, what was embezzled was the grain used for disaster relief. If this matter spread, how could the Gu family have the dignity to stay in Yanjing!  When the time comes, not only will Gu Dezhao's official position be reduced, but he will also be implicated!

    Second Master Gu asked Gu Dezhao again: "You said it was Sister Chao who reminded you to pay attention to this Sun Shitao?"

    Gu Dezhao nodded: "She has a bookkeeper who once served as an aide to the Cao family of Shangbao Temple. He said he knew Sun Shitao."

    Second Master Gu frowned, does Gu Jinchao still have Mr. Accountant?

    Gu Jinchao just invited Cao Ziheng over and told him the matter first.

    Cao Ziheng was shocked when he heard this: "This is too big a fact. It's rare for the eldest lady to trust me!" He cupped his hands first and then said, "If Mr. Sun just wants to steal more than 200,000 shi of food, then that's okay.  It's not that easy. When it comes to disaster relief, I don't think it's easy" Cao Ziheng quickly thought of Yuan Zhongru, the current Chief Minister of Shanxi, a close friend of Lord Fan.

    Thinking about the recent developments in the imperial court, he had a vague guess in his mind.

    Gu Jinchao knew the fate of Yuan Zhongru in his previous life, so he quickly understood that this matter must be related to Shanxi disaster relief.  Cao Ziheng told his guess, which coincided with Gu Jinchao.

    Gu Jinchao thought more comprehensively.  Problems with the food for disaster relief will not only delay Shanxi's disaster relief, but also remove his father, who is closely related to the Ye family.

    The main targets of this matter are Yuan Zhongru and the Changxing Hou family. This will affect Chi Yu's father.

    She asked Cao Ziheng to go see his father first.  Cao Ziheng is a staff member, so it is easier for him to discuss matters with his father and second uncle.

    She was sitting on the big Kang, holding a small embroidered sweat towel.  While thinking about things.

    My father did not suffer from this disaster in his previous life because he did not have close contact with the Gu family at that time.  The last one to suffer was the Gu family. The Gu family was constantly suppressed by the Zhang Party in the court. Later, Gu Jinxian and Ye Xian emerged in the court, but because of the death of the fifth lady, they hated the Gu family even more.  My father was in a calm state at that time, but it is really strange to say that he was not implicated at all

    If this life follows the path of the previous life, after his father is suppressed, the rest of the Gu family will not escape the disaster.

    "But with two hundred thousand shi of grainhow can we fill this hole?"  Even if you spend all the Gu family's belongings, you can't afford it.  Even if the financial resources are strong enough to protect this matter, purchasing two hundred thousand shi of grain is not an easy task!  This will cause fluctuations in food prices in Kyoto.

    The Ye family shouldn¡¯t just sit idly by and ignore it, but how can they control it?  I can only protect my father when this incident occurs. The most I can do is save my father's life. His official position will definitely be removed and will never be renewed.

    How can a woman comment on the affairs of the court? She can't do anything on the surface.  But she can still do some things in private.

    What Gu Jinchao found strangest was that Chen Yanyun handed her a note. Why did he help her?  In other words, helping the Gu family.  He is from Zhang Julian's faction!

    If you understand why Chen Yanyun wants to help his father, you might be able to find a breakthrough from him and save your father's official position.

    " Gu Jinchao couldn't help but think of her previous life. When she first married into the Chen family, Chen Yanyun was very kind to her.  On the second day of their marriage, he accompanied her to dress up and go to greet Mrs. Chen.  Although he didn't say anything to her, he defended her everywhere and no one looked down upon her.

    But this period lasted only more than a month, and he stopped coming to her, or even to any of his concubines.  He cultivated his moral character neatly and even avoided eating and drinking.

    She accidentally saw a string of Qinan agarwood beads coiled on his left hand, and thought that was when he started to believe in Buddhism.  When he took a look in this life, he found out that the string of Buddhist beads had already been in his hand.

    What is Mr. Chen thinking, and what is his plan?  If you want to help the Gu family, why don't you make it clear and just leave the words "Master Si Yu".  Is it because he is still a member of Zhang Julian's faction that it is difficult to explain this matter clearly?

    Gu Jinchao felt a headache.  Dealing with Mr. Chen is countless times more difficult than dealing with Ye Xian. Ye Xian is actually very easy to guess. He will do whatever he wants to do, it all depends on his heart.  Where is Mr. Chen?  She didn't know what he was thinking and whether the things he did had any long-term purpose.

    This person!

    She put down her bandage and asked Qingpu to bring her some cooling oil.

    After a while, Cao Ziheng came over from the outer courtyard and told Jin Chao what they had just discussed: " Mr. Gu's intention is to stand still. They first go to the Marquis of Changxing to discuss the matter and see if the Marquis of Changxing can  Solve it. If it doesn't work, let me make a statement to explain. The most is dismissal and investigation. If the Changxing Hou family is willing to protect it, there may be room for maneuver. "

    This is indeed the only way the Gu family can take.

    ¡°But Gu Jinchao felt that there was no way out. At least Mr. Chen, there might be a way.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)??She didn't know whether these things had a long-term purpose.
