The daily life of Dali Siqing

Chapter 86

"This is the famous Ji Yaohua, right?! She is as beautiful as a fairy!" Seeing the demure and gentle Ji Yaohua in a dress behind Yang Qingyuan, An Shigeng suppressed the heat in his heart and pretended to be asked without knowing.

"Don't dare to be an security officer, it's absurd praise! The little girl is terrified!" Ji Yaohua said after bowing slightly to An Shigeng.

Yang Qingyuan simply stopped talking, watching the two people who obviously knew each other and pretended not to know each other were showing off their acting skills here.

After the two of them had finished their performance, Yang Qingyuan said, "Besides Mr. An, besides coming to celebrate his birthday, I have something to ask. Please move Mrs. An out!"

This remark made An Shigeng's eyes that were originally full of smiles narrowed, and it turned out that Yang Qingyuan's visitor was not kind.

Kong Qinli, who was annoyed at the side, suppressed the anger in his heart when he heard Yang Qingyuan's words.

"I don't know what business it is, but you want to ask Nephew Qingyuan to come to the door in person?"

Yang Qingyuan bowed to Kong Qinli again, "Small matters are not worthy of Mr. Kong's concern. Mr. Kong has already taken a lot of effort to manage the good talents in the Guozijian. How can Qingyuan bother you with such trivial matters."

No matter how hard Kong Qinli made things difficult for Yang Qingyuan's etiquette, he couldn't find anything wrong with it.

But when Yang Qingyuan's words were translated, it was not so polite.

The meaning of the words is that you are a fake bachelor, don't talk nonsense, just manage your Guozijian well, and don't meddle in the government affairs of the court.

Kong Qinli's face darkened again and again, but he didn't dare to forcibly interfere with Yang Qingyuan's government affairs. He didn't like him at all, and Yang Qingyuan was in the emperor's heart. If Yang Qingyuan meddled himself in government affairs with a memorial, it would be bad He could only helplessly shake his head at An Shigeng, indicating that he was helpless.

"Then please Master Yang and Ji Tutou follow me to the private room for a detailed discussion."

An Shigeng brought Yang Qingyuan and Ji Yaohua to a quiet room.

"I don't know what instruction Master Yang has?!"

Yang Qingyuan poured himself a cup of tea.

"Yesterday, there was a fire in the Gyeonggi granary. I don't know if the security guards have heard of it?"

The expression on An Shigeng's face remained unchanged, "This matter, Mr. An, has also been mentioned! It is a huge loss to the court that the fire dragon burned the warehouse!"

"An Yuanwai's news is really well-informed! Even the court officials don't know about this matter?! I didn't expect An Yuanwai to know it first!"

Regarding the fire in the granary, the imperial court tried its best to block the news in order to avoid causing turmoil. Except for Yu Dasheng, Li Dashi, and the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, only the investigators who participated in the incident knew about it.

An Shigeng's answer also showed that he was involved in the case. If he had nothing to do with the case, he would not have known about it. However, this is only supporting evidence and cannot be used as direct evidence.

"This officer is also here for this matter."

An Shigeng didn't speak, just quietly waiting for Yang Qingyuan's next words.

"The official found out that the official food in the granary was stolen, and the four that were burned were just empty warehouses. Most of the official food had been transported away by merchant ships before the fire broke out."

"Oh!? There is such a thing!" An Shigeng was shocked, and his facial expressions were very rich. Although the acting was very similar, it was a little exaggerated, "I don't know how An can help the court. An Mou will definitely not hesitate!"

"That didn't happen."

"Then what is the purpose of Master Yang coming here?!"

Yang Qingyuan stared at An Shigeng with a smile in his eyes, "Someone reported that Mr. An was involved in the theft and sale of grain from the warehouse, and I came here to investigate."

After Yang Qingyuan finished speaking, the aura in the private room dropped to freezing point.

An Shigeng raised his head slightly and looked at Ji Yaohua behind Yang Qingyuan. Ji Yaohua seemed to understand, and a light suddenly appeared on his fingertips.

An Shigeng immediately shook his head, "Master Yang has wronged An Mou!"

Ji Yaohua also took back the silver needle on her fingertips.

"Although An is a businessman, he is law-abiding and loyal to Zhou on weekdays, and he dare not violate the law in the slightest. Master Yang suddenly put such a big hat on An, how dare An accept it? !"

An Shigeng's expression of inexplicable injustice was almost written all over his face.

"Could it be that there is really a villain who is framing An Yuanwai, but this person is reporting with his real name! According to the regulations of this dynasty, the person who made a false accusation will sit back, and this person will not take his own life as a joke!"

Yang Qingyuan drank his tea with a calm expression on his face.

"Although Anyuan Wai's tea is not bad, compared with the tribute tea given by the Holy Majesty, it is still quite inferior!"

Looking at Yang Qingyuan who was pretending to taste tea, An Shigeng was a little uncertain about Yang Qingyuan's intentions, especially the people whose family was in the warehouse of the Water Transport Wharf were arrested. It was the first time for the two cases to show their brilliance, so An Shigeng couldn't help but be careful.

"That's right! In addition to Mr. An, you have a warehouse at the Water Transport Wharf that is temporarily used to stockpile food!"

An Shigeng was also nervous when he heard Yang Qingyuan mention the granary at the wharf. Could it be that Yang Qingyuan had discovered something, but An Shigeng was sure that the official grain had no connection with this warehouse.

On the surface, he was as stable as an old dog, but inside he was full of doubts. He couldn't figure out what Yang Qingyuan meant when he mentioned the warehouse.
"That's right! That's the warehouse where our Anping Grain Ship temporarily hoards the grain that will be transported into Shendu."

"I don't know how much food is stored here!?"

As soon as Yang Qingyuan's words came out, An Shigeng became even more puzzled. Yang Qingyuan had already sealed up the warehouse, and he could tell how much food was stored in it by looking at the account books. Why did he need to ask himself? !

"There should be tens of thousands of stones! I'm not in charge of this specific business, and I don't know very well!" Unable to guess Yang Qingyuan's purpose, An Shigeng could only be vague.

"That's right! The whistleblower said that all the official rations are hidden in the warehouse of the Anjia Water Transport Wharf, and they will be shipped out of Beijing soon!" Yang Qingyuan put down the teacup in his hand, "Would you like to think about it carefully?" , How much grain is there in the warehouse at the pier!?"

Looking at Yang Qingyuan's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, An Shigeng seemed to understand Yang Qingyuan's intentions.

"According to Master Yang, how much food should be in the warehouse at the dock to be considered normal?"

Yang Qingyuan smiled slightly. As expected of a merchant who has been in business for many years, he really knew a little bit, and pretended to be displeased, "How can I know how much grain is in it? But with my long-term experience in solving cases! How can a temporary storage warehouse have Too much food?! An Yuanwai thinks so!"

This time, not only An Shigeng, but even Ji Yaohua who was standing behind Yang Qingyuan complained in his heart, Yang Qingyuan's word "long-term" has only been more than a month since Yang Qingyuan became the prime minister of Dali Temple, so where did the word "long-term" come from.

But complaining about it, An Shigeng immediately understood what Yang Qingyuan meant.
