Chapter 76 Are you happy to talk?

Xue Yu was quite calm and only asked three words:
What about the evidence?
Shen Qingling was angry, she really had no evidence, where could she find evidence for such a thing?Li Youyu is the princess of the dynasty, no matter how incomprehensible she does things, the people around her will help her. It is already extremely difficult to find clues in Wu Mao's case.

"There are some things that don't need evidence." Shen Qingling said with a straight face, expressionless: "But it's normal for Mr. Xue Lang not to believe it, but there is no need for us to chat anymore."

"Why is the second lady suddenly angry? Is it Xue's fault? She always likes to ask the bottom of everything." Xue Yu quickly explained, and then said: "Leave aside the matter of Princess Jiale, what does the second lady think about the secret key?" ?”

Eyelashes drooping slightly, Shen Qingling narrowed her eyes and staggered her gaze, without answering.

Seeing her avoiding like this, Xue Yu smiled wryly, and begged for mercy: "Second Lady is right, some things really don't need evidence, since Second Lady thinks Princess Jiale is suspicious, then she must have acted improperly."

The confrontation between the two seems to always be Shen Qingling pulling the string called the bottom line, Xue Yu can clearly perceive this, but surprisingly, he doesn't feel disgusted or disgusted, he just finds it interesting.

Funny people.

"Xue Langjun's words are extremely forced." Shen Qingling hooked the corners of her lips, and jokingly said: "But forget it, I don't want others to be wronged, so I won't bother with Xue Langjun this time."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly eased a lot.

Shen Qingling didn't give Xue Yu a chance to speak, and continued: "Just now you mentioned Khitan's secret key, although I don't think Khitan has any secret treasures, but since you found out the secret key, you gave it to Xiao Qiyue and Yelu Brother Yu's appearance in Li Chao is a reasonable explanation."

When it comes to talking about business, Shen Qingling always has a gentle but extremely majestic temperament, which makes people feel convincing, but at the same time can't help feeling close.

The son of a daughter can't sit down.

If it wasn't something extremely important, as Brother Yeluyu, he wouldn't easily go deep into the enemy's hinterland.

However, Shen Qingling always felt that Xiao Qiyue and Brother Yeluyu did not come here just for the secret key. The risk of the two Khitan forces clashing in the Central Plains is so great. Yelu Congyi, who has a slight upper hand, would lose one of his members if he came for a mere secret treasure. The Titans are really putting the cart before the horse.

"The secret key may be just one of them." Shen Qingling gave his own conclusion, "To sum up, the Khitan people must be inextricably linked behind the fires in granaries everywhere. Since Mr. Xue Lang has found the secret key, There must be something else to gain.”

Xue Yu nodded and said, "Only in the Lin'an Mansion, we have already found ironclad evidence that the Khitans are in trouble."

Of the remaining two private grain dealers, one pointed to the Danyang granary, and the other pointed to the Gaoyou granary. The one in Danyang can be said to be under the strict control of the prefect of Zhenjiang, but Gaoyou is the capital of Zhili, which is controlled by the officials and the prefect of Bianjing. of.

In other words, this is a food-stealing mouse that appeared under the noses of the officials!

"A few days ago, Ren Zhizhou and I went to Gaoyou." Xue Yu turned his eyes, pointed to the book in front of Shen Qingling, and explained: "What the second lady holds is the account book of Gaoyou granary."

Of course, there were no clues in the accounts on the surface, but Xue Yu and Ren Bingyi were not vegetarians. After several beatings and interrogations, something came out of the mouth of Sicang, who was under Qian Agree's command, to join the army.

While listening, Shen Qingling opened the account book.

"There are four grain stores in Gaoyou, and they are usually audited by the government when they go in and out. But at the end of each year, this Sicang joins the army and will always be sick for a few days, staggering the day of the year-end check."

Following Xue Yu's words, Shen Qingling saw the rice grain entry and exit recorded at the end of the year.

The bookkeeping is very beautiful, but the key point is that it is so beautiful that if Shen Qingling hadn't listened to Xue Yu's words, she would only think that the Gaoyou granary was operating normally, and the old and new grains were alternating in an orderly manner.

"When we got the news and went to the granary to investigate, we found something tricky in the granary."

"The new grain is outside and the old grain is inside. The amount of the hatchback is consistent with the book, but after removing the thin layer of grain husk on the surface of the old grain, the bottom is full of hay! And the new grain is filled with old grain."

As he said that, Xue Yu looked slightly cold, and lightly tapped the table with his fist.

This kind of harm to the people actually happened in Gaoyou, which is under the direct control of the government. How could Xue Yu not be scared?What made Xue Yu even more apprehensive was how many moths like Gaoyou Sicang joining the army were there that they didn't know about?How many granaries have this group of silverfish emptied?
"What else?" Shen Qingling asked calmly.

Just for these, she didn't think there was any need for Xue Yu to come to ask for advice.

Xue Yu pondered, and said: "Gaoyou, Danyang, and Lin'an all have traces of Khitan people doing things, and I went all the way to track down the Khitan dead soldiers in Gaoyou, and then returned to Yangzhou and went to that ghost city."

It was an accident to meet Shen Qingling in the ghost market, and it was precisely because Xue Yu saw that Shen Qingling had taken away the clues from Yuan Sanniang that Xue Yu had to reveal his identity in order to delay Shen Qingling's actions.

After parting with Shen Qingling, Xue Yu didn't stop for a moment, and hurriedly handed over the things to his subordinates to check, while he himself went back to Gaoyou overnight, planning to join the army from Sicang again.

It was at this time that the matter of Yan Gang came into Xue Yu's field of vision, and it was connected with the case of the granary on fire.

"Na Sicang joined the army and said that the fifth prince of Khitan had ordered his subordinates to search for people willing to do things for Khitan in Yangzhou a few years ago. No way back."

It sounds like Xue Yu knows everything.

"Since he did it for the first time, there is no room for turning back. Therefore, the grain shipped from him over the years may be worth tens of thousands of stones, and his crimes are too numerous to write down."

"According to his confession, the fifth prince, Brother Yeluyu, came to Yangzhou in person half a year ago, and he was flattered to see him who was only Sicang joining the army. Later he found out that Brother Yeluyu was looking for a key to bring with him. The one who took the key should be a businessman who made a fortune in Yangzhou."

The clue seems to turn back to the businessman.

"You mean, Youshang stole the secret key from Khitan?" Shen Qingling thought of Li Youyu.

Xue Yu put his hand on the table, drew a rough map of the Li Dynasty with his fingers, and said: "After investigating three places, I realized that the fire in the granary was not accidental or accidental. There are many forces behind the fire. Some of them want to attract the attention of the government, and some want to destroy the evidence..."

"Brother Yeluyu didn't want to see his elder brother run a big business in the Central Plains, so he fanned the flames and tried to use the power of the court to destroy the food road that Yelu Congyi had painstakingly managed." Shen Qingling took Xue Yu's words with a tacit understanding.
