Comprehensive Wu Jianghu: I am Dali Temple Minister

The next day, the sun rose in the east.

Yang Qingyuan, Ye Jianhan and Li Xunhuan also woke up from a lucid dream.I have to say that the rooms in this Yongji Warehouse are still luxurious, at least much better than those in Dali Temple.

The three of Yang Qingyuan slept comfortably, but some of them couldn't sleep well.

Two high-ranking officials suddenly came to Beijing (for Master Kong, they were quite tall), and when they came, they had to check the accounts.

This makes Kong Zhiwei, who has a ghost in his heart, how can he sleep peacefully, tossing and turning all night, only thinking about how to send these two plague gods away as soon as possible!It wasn't until dawn that he fell asleep in a daze.

"My lord! My lord!"

Master Kong was in a daze when he heard someone shouting outside the room, put on his coat, and opened the door.

"What's the matter?!" Kong Zhiwei, who had just fallen asleep and was disturbed, was obviously angry about getting up.

"My lord! Master Yang and Li Yushi have finished their breakfast and are waiting for you in the main hall;!"

Although the clerk knew that Kong Zhiwei would be in a bad mood if he was woken up, he still bit the bullet and came here. The clerk is certainly his own superior, but those two are big men from the middle of Beijing. But these two backgrounds are much bigger than the county magistrate!

Master Kong, who was originally dazed and in a bad mood, was suddenly sober after a basin of cold water was poured over his head.

"Wait for a moment, I will clean up my description and go to meet the two adults immediately!"

Kong Zhiwei closed the door, and then there was a sound of panic in the room.

In the main hall at the moment, the three of Yang Qingyuan are drinking tea, and while drinking tea, the three of them are still discussing via sound transmission.

"Qingyuan, you are talking about a warehouse of officials guarding the army, how many people are involved in this matter?"

Yang Qingyuan gave Li Xun Huan a strange look. Although Li Xun Huan was older than him, the usual Li Xun Huan would not call himself Qing Yuan.

But when he called out this title, it meant that Li Xun Huan felt emotional in his heart. The last time he called himself Qing Yuan was when Li Xun Huan came back from his tour of the capital, saw all the chaos in the rivers and lakes, and found the way forward.

But this time facing Yongji Guancang, Li Xunhuan was once again at a loss.

Yongji Guancang is as heavy as Mount Tai.

A little carelessness will cause the collapse of the river, the collapse of the temple, the collapse of the country, and the robbery of Li Shu.

Even so, some people dared to risk the world's displeasure by stealing the grain stored in Yongji's official warehouse.And looking at Anjia's actions, this batch of food is by no means a small amount.

This is not something that one or two corrupt officials can do.

"Brother Li is confused again?!"

Li Xunhuan shook his head, "I just don't understand? Is money that important?!"

Yang Qingyuan put down the teacup in his hand, "It's not that money is unimportant, but you and I are not short of money?! Brother Li is from a Shanxi family with a lot of money. And I have a teacher behind me, and I have a moistening pen to supplement the family, so We never worry about money, so we can’t put ourselves in their shoes!? Corruption doesn’t have to be purely about money.”

Li Xunhuan could not agree with Yang Qingyuan's statement.

"Brother Li, how much is your monthly salary?"

"The monthly salary is ten guan, twenty stones per meter, and every year there are five bolts of silk, two bolts of silk, fifteen bolts of silk, and some others."

"How much is the total annual salary?"

"About two hundred taels in total?"

Yang Qingyuan took a sip of the tea in the cup, "Is this 200 taels enough for brother Li to drink for a year?!"

"..." Li Xun Huan fell silent.

A small jug of wine in Qingwuyuan costs at least three taels of silver. If he drinks only on his monthly salary, he can't drink it a few times a month.

"Then with Brother Li's annual salary, how long will it take to buy a luxurious mansion in the capital? There are also daily expenses, eating and drinking among colleagues? After all these calculations, an ordinary sixth-rank official wants to live decently in the capital. Even if the 200 taels are carefully calculated, there may be shortcomings!"

"If my family is poor and my parents are seriously ill and urgently need money to buy medicinal materials, brother Li knows that I will not participate in corruption in order to fulfill my filial piety?!"

Yang Qingyuan's words made Li Xunhuan fall into silence.

He had been to the mansion of Yu Yanyi, a senior scholar in the Hall of Martial Arts, Minister of the Ministry of War. The senior scholar Yu was upright in his heart, was an upright official, and never formed cliques for personal gain. There were only five or six old servants in his family, but Li Xunhuan remembered that when the senior scholar Yu went to the family There are paint peelings on the walls of the courtyard.And this house was bestowed by the emperor, otherwise, as a university scholar, I am afraid that he may not be able to buy this house in his whole life.

Looking at Li Xun Huan's silence, Yang Qingyuan shook his head.

Corruption has been a problem since ancient times. Even if civilization continues to develop and material wealth continues to enrich, the problem of corruption cannot be fundamentally resolved.

It's hard to be an official in Beijing.

During the daytime, you gather with wealthy businessmen and celebrities in the great hall, talking and laughing are all rich and noble, and there is no white man in your contacts.But at night, you have to live in a shabby room, facing the rent-demanding and ridiculing of the old woman with Tongtian pattern. Such a psychological gap really requires firm belief.

"The humble job is late! Please forgive me, my lords!!"

Director Kong of Yongji Warehouse broke the silence at the scene.

"Humble job fell asleep peacefully yesterday, and I couldn't wake up from a dream. I ask the two adults to forgive me!"

Kong Zhiwei excused that he slept well, but the black bags under his eyes had already betrayed him.

The three of Yang Qingyuan didn't expose it either, after all, after doing such a thing, it's normal that they couldn't sleep yesterday.

After Kong Zhiwei was seated, he tentatively asked, "Did the adults check the account books in the treasury?"

Kong Zhiwei's ardent eyes were full of anticipation, if the inspection is over, get out as soon as possible!

Yang Qingyuan didn't answer immediately, but blew on the hot tea in the cup and took a sip.

Seeing Yang Qingyuan's appearance like this, Kong Zhiwei felt uneasy. Could it be because he didn't give a gift?

But in the face of the Dali Temple Prime Minister and the supervisory censor, Kong Zhiwei really didn't dare to give gifts!

As soon as this gift was sold, it might be regarded as evidence of bribery by these two.

Just when Kong Zhiwei was in a dilemma, Yang Qingyuan who put down the teacup spoke.

"Master Kong, yesterday Li Yushi and I reviewed the account books overnight, and found that there seems to be a small problem with the amount of grain entering and exiting Yongji warehouse."

Yang Qingyuan's tone was flat, but it sounded like a bolt from the blue to Kong Zhiwei's ears.

"This... this is impossible!? I... have personally reviewed this account, how could there be such a problem."

Kong Zhiwei was shocked, he was serious about falsifying the accounts, and he was conscientious about falsifying the accounts of the granary, and he did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

"My lord, are you making a mistake!?"

Yang Qingyuan said with a smile, "Mr. Kong didn't know something. During the imperial examinations, I was the best among all the students. I'm afraid I can't be wrong!"

After finishing speaking, Yang Qingyuan got up slowly, "Boss Kong, it doesn't make much sense for you and me to argue, why not?! Let's go to the granary to have a look, and you Yongji granary will count with us together, and see what is in the granary. Are there any rats eating it!?"

As soon as the words fell, Yang Qingyuan, Li Xunhuan and Ye Jianhan walked all the way to the granary.

When the three of them walked a hundred steps before the granary, they were stopped by the soldiers of the Longwu Army guarding the granary.

"The granary is important, the three adults please stop!"

The two leading teams stepped forward and shouted, "I have a humble job to do, please forgive me, three adults!"

Behind the two teams are sixty crane-controlling crossbows, which have been set up and aimed at Yang Qingyuan and the three of them.

"The official wants to open a warehouse to inspect the grain, and the two of you won't let it go?!"

Yang Qingyuan's answer made the two of them look at each other, "Master Yang, the imperial court inspects grain every year on the third day of March, the day when new crops are planted! Do you have a certificate for the inspection of the grain at this time? If you have a certificate, please show it to me. Check it out."

Yang Qingyuan took a step forward, "The cabinet, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Household Department are required to be present for grain inspection. My official walks for the Wenhua Palace, and Mr. Li is the supervisor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Under investigation."

Yang Qingyuan's words made the two teams hesitate, "Master Yang, although we are responsible for guarding the granary, we are under the jurisdiction of the Longwu Army. There is no military order from the Longwu Army. We really dare not open the granary door!"

"If the investigation is delayed, can you be responsible?!"

Seeing that the reasoning didn't make sense, Yang Qingyuan started threatening directly.

"This……?"

The two teams were laughing wryly. They were two little Longwu Army Yongji Battalion, and their rank was no more than ninth rank. How could they bear any responsibility!

"Since you can't bear this responsibility, then open the warehouse to inspect the grain. After entering the warehouse, you can search the body with two people, and check whether there is anything that can ignite the poison on us, so as to ensure that everything is safe!"

Yang Qingyuan had already talked about this, and there was really no reason not to let them in to check.

Anyway, if you check it, there will be no loss of grain. If some government affairs are really delayed because of the obstruction of the two of them, they and the brothers will be punished when they go up to the peak.

"Alright then! I'll send someone to invite Master Kong, we only have two keys!"

Three keys are needed to open the gate of Yongji Granary, one of which is controlled by the treasurer, and the remaining two are held by the team responsible for guarding the gate of the granary that day. Only when the three keys are combined can the gate be opened!

But now, the treasurer asked for leave, and the hand that was originally in charge of the treasurer was in the hands of Master Kong.

Hearing this, Yang Qingyuan was a little embarrassed, and he "borrowed" the key from Director Kong directly if he knew it earlier.

Not long after the team sent someone to invite Kong Zhiwei, a voice of being out of breath came intermittently.

"My lords!! Please... please... stay!" Master Kong trotted all the way to the side of the two Longwu soldiers, and helped one of them to catch his breath for a long time.

"Boss Kong, you came just in time. The three adults need to borrow your key to inspect the grain in the warehouse!"

One of the teams was very happy to see Kong Zhiwei coming, so there was no need to find someone.

"No! You can't open a position!!" Kong Zhiwei refused on the spot.

The two teams were looking at the resolute Kong Zhiwei, puzzled, but they turned to persuade Kong Zhiwei.

"My lord, Master Yang and the others are only three of us, let's let them go in and have a look! Master Yang promised that we can do a body search first. It's not a big deal, is it?"

Kong Zhiwei's unbelievable face, were they bought off so quickly?

"It's nothing serious, have you forgotten what a crime it is to open the door of the granary privately? We can't afford it!!" While speaking, Kong Zhiwei still pointed his eyes at him and tried his best to persuade him.

During the words, they reminded the two team officials that they are high-ranking officials in Beijing, and they will be protected in case of accidents.

After being told by Kong Zhiwei, the two hesitated again.

"Hey! You two don't need to be in trouble!? Yang has a way!" Yang Qingyuan approached slowly while talking.

Hearing that Yang Qingyuan had a solution, the eyes of the two teams immediately brightened. They were worthy of being big shots in Beijing.

"Just say that the two were kidnapped by us."

"???"

The two teams were hearing this, but their brains didn't react for a while.

hijack?A civil servant kidnapping us both in front of two hundred heavily armed soldiers?Who will believe this? !

"My lord is joking!"

Just when one of them spoke, Yang Qingyuan moved.

The original distance of one hundred steps had been shortened to thirty steps when Yang Qingyuan spoke and stepped forward.

Thirty steps away, the crossbow is fast.

Within thirty steps, a gust of wind blew by, and when Yang Qingyuan finished speaking, he had already appeared in front of the two teams. Their sabers also appeared in Yang Qingyuan's hands at some point, and they were placed on one of them and one of them at the same time. Hole in the master book's neck.

A group of sergeants who reacted immediately pointed their crossbow arrows at Yang Qingyuan. Just as the group of crossbowmen turned around, four white lights came out from Li Xun Huan's palm. Before the soldiers even realized what happened, they heard a jingle of fine iron falling to the ground. Voice.

The arrowheads of the crossbows originally carried by the troops have been cut off by Li Xun Huan's throwing knife.

"You... who the hell are you...?!"

The team that was not restrained by Yang Qingyuan couldn't believe it for a moment, Douyin asked.

"My official Dali Temple Chancellor Yang Qingyuan, I would like to ask the three of you to open the warehouse. If anyone is held accountable, all the crimes will be borne by me alone!"

The clear voice echoed in front of the grain storehouse of Yongji Warehouse. The strength of the two of them was enough to frighten a centurion.

After speaking, Yang Qingyuan took back the two sabers and handed them back to the two captains.

If I want to do something, kill you, it's easy!

The two teams were also captured by Yang Qingyuan and Li Xunhuan's martial arts, and took out two keys.

Although Kong Zhiwei was not reconciled, but if he didn't give the key again, the Dali Temple Prime Minister probably would have dared to kill himself. When the cold blade was pressed against his neck just now, Kong Zhiwei's legs trembled and he almost lost his footing.

Ye Jianhan on the side watched Yang Qingyuan performing and Li Xunhuan who was throwing knives, and silently tightened the broken sword in his hand.

He couldn't beat either of these two civil servants.

Needless to say, Yang Qingyuan can be regarded as his two teachers; Li Xunhuan's throwing knife just now was even more amazing, Ye Jianhan didn't even see how he made the move, only saw four warm white lights shooting out, and the arrow fell one place.

Leaving aside Ye Jianhan who was struggling, the chief bookkeeper Kong Zhiwei took out a key with trembling hands and handed it to Yang Qingyuan.

The three keys were respectively inserted into the three holes in the gate of the Yongji warehouse granary and turned together.

"Squeak..."

After a tooth-piercing sound, the closed food and grass door slowly moved away.
