Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 118 The Secret in the Granary

The granary is about one foot high. In order for everyone to see the structure inside, it is not completely closed, but about five or six wooden boards are exposed on the side for demonstration.

At this time, an eunuch had already entered the palace with a small load of chestnuts from the palace gate, carefully placed it next to the granary, and waited for Zhang Yi's orders.

"Your Majesty, just now, I told you that this is a good thing. It is estimated that many seniors would not believe it. Next, I will play a trick in front of your eyes, and use this mere one load of rice to fill it up." This granary!" As he spoke, Zhang Yi signaled the other eunuchs to use the remaining boards to seal the side of the granary.

Not to mention, after being closed, this granary is exactly the same as an ordinary granary.

"Please help this servant to pour the chestnuts from the burden into the upper warehouse!" Zhang Yi cupped his hands to the eunuch who brought in the chestnuts, and then stood aside and waited.

The eunuch was also unequivocal. He probably did not have a high status in the palace and would often do rough things. When he heard Zhang Yixiang's invitation, he immediately rolled up his long sleeves on his arms, picked up the burden and stepped on the wooden ladder that had already been built beside him. Just went to the warehouse.

I saw him carrying a pole on his shoulders, with both hands but one hand firmly protecting the baskets on both sides, leaning slightly towards the opening of the warehouse roof, the chestnut rice in the baskets was rustling! 'It flows into the warehouse like running water.Because there is a partition in the middle, there is actually only a shallow layer on the top. As the chestnut rice is continuously poured into the granary, everyone can clearly see that the granary is gradually level with the line of sight at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it is constantly facing upwards. Heaped into a pointed shape.

Sweat flowing!

Really cold sweat!
Which one of the people standing in the hall is a dull person?

There is no doubt that if you are really stupid, you can't stand here!
Facing the scene in front of them, everyone couldn't help but feel chills in their hearts!

"Do you think this granary is a good thing, too?" Zhang Yi turned sideways so as not to block everyone's sight, and said with a smile: "Your junior can fill the granary with only a load of chestnut rice, but it's really not good at technology." , It is said that half a load of chestnuts with good warehouse management skills in Changping warehouse can achieve such an effect, what a shame!"

He said he was ashamed, but Zhang Yi didn't look ashamed at all. Seeing that everyone had digested it, he pulled Cheng Chumo and said to Li Er: "Minister Zhang Yi (Cheng Chumo), please punish me, Your Majesty!"

Li Er slowly watched the expressions of the people below, some were angry, some were shocked.
"Your Majesty, Zhou Xu'an's observation is unknown. Please tell me to retire!" Zhou Xu'an's face was pale, as if he had lost all his strength, and saluted Li Er with the spirit of a strong beater.

"Your Majesty, Wei Zheng, is not strict in his rule. Please come down!" Wei Zheng also came out to plead guilty.

Immediately, four or five people from the court stood up and pleaded guilty!

In fact, Wei Zheng is okay to say, after all, he didn't know about this matter, and the reason why he pleaded guilty was only because of ineffective supervision. After all, as the superior of Yushi Zhongcheng, he has the responsibility of supervision. Naturally, he, the superior, should also be punished if his subordinates are guilty. responsibility.

The other officials were obviously involved in the double-decker warehouse incident. They were all sweating profusely, and carefully watched Li Er's expression from the corner of their eyes with their heads down.

Li Er didn't speak immediately, but his face was convulsed, his expression was as unpredictable as the clouds in the sky, before he heard a word, he walked towards the granary lightly.

The granary was very high, and Li Erzhan was only about two-thirds of the height of the granary. He took a deep breath, looked at the courtiers again, and suddenly laughed loudly, saying: "What a double-deck warehouse, what a good one." Disregarding the curfew, entering other people's houses at night to oppress the common people and humiliate merchants!" Every time he said a word, Li Er's voice became a little louder, and until the end, he seemed to have a sense of incomparable anger, and he turned his right foot towards the granary It's just a slam.
"Boom! ~~~~Shushasha."

Immediately, the whole granary was kicked down by him with one kick, and the chestnut rice on it kept jumping on the ground like pearls.
"Your Majesty, please calm down."

"Your Majesty, please calm down."

Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Qin Qiong, Li Jing, all the courtiers bowed down one after another.
"Zhang Yi, Cheng Chumo, get up! If you are also guilty, they deserve to die!" Li Er walked up to Zhang Yi and Cheng Chumo, and slowly helped them up. Looking at Zhou Xu'an and the others, they said, "At midnight last night, Bai Qisi brought me a word, do you want to hear it?"

"Criminals don't dare!" Zhou Xu'an and the others immediately leaned over, saying that they didn't dare.

Li Er sneered, suppressed the anger in his stomach, and said: "Don't you dare? Why don't you dare? I think you are audacious! You colluded with merchants to deceive the top and the bottom, low entry and high exit, and People are guilty. How dare you use this double storehouse to empty out almost half of the Changping warehouse! Cang Chongshu is so happy! When Bai Qisi brought back these words, do you know how much I was hurt?

You dare to empty half of my granary before it is full, why would you dare? "While speaking, Li Erchao shouted to the side: "Where is Du Ruhui? "

"The humble minister is here!" Du Ruhui immediately stepped out of the class and handed over his hands.

"In your opinion, what crimes should Zhang Yi and Cheng Chumo be guilty of? What crimes should Zhou Xu'an, Changping Warehouse Office, Sinon Temple and other relevant officials be guilty of?"

"Return to Your Majesty!" Du Ruhui bowed and said, "Cheng Chumo, captain of Zuowuwei Zhechong, and Zhang Yi, son of Jingyang County, although these two did not abide by the curfew, there was a reason for the incident, and they made meritorious deeds for releasing the double-storey warehouse. Yes, reward!"

As he said that, he looked at Zhou Xu'an and the other officials involved in the case, who had already turned pale with fright, and said, "The officials involved in the case, Zhou Xu'an, the censor Zhou Xu'an, Sinong Temple, Changping Warehouse and other officials involved in the case colluded with merchants to drive up grain prices. Self-protection and the impeachment of Tang Yingjie, who is an official of the court, is even more corrupt. The old minister suggests that all officials involved in the case, merchants and businessmen should be handed over to Dali Temple for trial, and it will not be too late to convict after the trial is clear!"

Li Er was very satisfied with Du Ruhui's suggestion, but he seemed to have forgotten Zhang Yi and Cheng Chumo who were waiting for his reward next to him, and left the Tai Chi Hall after retreating from the court.

It's just that with Li Er's departure, the whole court is still dull. Many people are thinking about one thing. Since there is a problem with the Changping warehouse, what about the granaries in other state capitals in Taicang?
