Chapter 1890 Bad Things!

Beijing, Wenhua Palace.

It was evening now.

The setting sun is blood-red and the dusk is dark.

The clouds in the sky were dyed red by the blood-like sunlight.

Look up.

It’s so sad and heartbreaking.

Inside the Wenhua Hall.

The prince put down the memorial in his hand and stretched lazily.

Things have been extremely complicated in recent days.

He was unable to leave the Wenhua Palace.

Even though he has been regent for a long time, he is very familiar with it.

It is inevitable to feel a little tired at this time.

At this time, he slowly stood up and was about to relax.

But at this moment.

A young eunuch came to him quickly: "Your Highness..."

"The detective and Zhou Bangren want to see you..."

As soon as these words came out, the prince's body stiffened.

There was still a hint of doubt between his brows.

The detective and Zhou Bangren stayed in Yunju Temple for a long time to investigate the whereabouts of the silver and money.

Why did he come to Wenhua Palace to look for me out of nowhere? Could it be that there was some progress in the matter of money?

Think of this.

He turned to look at the young eunuch beside him and asked, "Did they talk about anything?"

"They just said that this matter is extremely urgent..."

The young eunuch hurriedly said: "The specific matter was not stated..."

"And seeing how anxious they both looked..."

"It seems like there is something urgent!"

When these words came out, the prince's heart moved.

He looked at the young eunuch and said hurriedly: "Then don't just stand there!"

"Hurry up and call them both in!"

After hearing what the prince said, the young eunuch responded.

Then he hurriedly ran out of the palace. Looking at the back of the young eunuch, the prince frowned slightly.

The detective and Zhou Bangren have always been calm and steady.

Especially the detective.

He is well-organized and has a methodical approach to doing things.

If nothing major happens.

He would never rush to Wenhua Hall to look for me in such a hurry.

Now he comes here in such a hurry.

I guess something big happened.

Thought of this.

A bad premonition suddenly came to my mind.

Pedal, edal, edal…

Just as he was thinking, a series of footsteps were heard.

Look in the direction of the sound.

I saw Shenpo and Zhou Bangren walking up quickly with an account book in their arms.

After seeing the prince again, the two of them bowed: "Your Highness..."

"No need to be polite!"

Before the two of them could finish, the prince waved his hand and said, "Did you two find anything during your visit?"

"Your Highness..."

Hearing this, Zhou Bangren was about to speak.

But at this moment, the detective stopped him.

At the same time, he glanced around, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

See the appearance of the detective.

The prince immediately understood.

He said to the eunuchs and guards who were looking down at him, "You go down first..."

"I have something important to discuss with you two!"

"yes!"

After hearing the prince's words, the eunuchs, guards and others responded in unison.

Then they all retreated.

Seeing everyone retreat, the prince's eyes turned.

Then he said, "Can you tell me now?"

"Why are you so anxious to come to me? What's the matter?"

"But is there any clue as to where the money went?!"

"yes!"

Hearing this, the detective said, "With the help of Tianbao Bank, I have already investigated the whereabouts of the money..."

"The amount of money that officials from all over the country pay as tribute every year is already close to 10 million taels!"

Hiss! As soon as these words came out, the prince took a breath of cold air.

He never expected it.

The amount of money offered as tribute was so huge that it was close to the court’s income for half a year!

Although he was shocked, the prince calmed down.

He looked at the detective and asked, "Where are you going?"

He gritted his teeth as he spoke.

As if he had made up his mind.

Because he knew at this moment.

The amount of silver and money is just a small matter.

The real problem is where did such a huge amount of money go! Tens of millions of taels of silver! The amount is really terrifying.

It would be fine if it were just about corruption and pleasure.

If there is any evil intention, the consequences will be disastrous! Huh! Hearing the prince's question, the detective let out a breath of foul air.

Then he said: "One tenth of this money was used for pleasure, food and drink..."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"The remaining 90%..."

"They purchased large quantities of food, horses, furs, and iron ore..."

"We even hired a large number of blacksmiths and sent them all to Mobei!"

Buzz! As soon as these words came out, the prince's mind buzzed.

He took two steps back.

He fell directly into his seat, a look of surprise on his face.

really…

Things are still developing in the direction that I least want to see!

Food, horses, furs, iron ore, hired craftsmen...

Or they all flowed to Mobei.

You know, Mobei is where the Zhao King's army is stationed! He is too familiar with these things!

Similar things happened back then.

He saw it all with his own eyes!

All this is for the purpose of starting a rebellion!

After taking a few deep breaths.

The prince looked at the detective in front of him, gritted his teeth, and said, "The things they bought..."

"How many people is it enough for?"

"Your Highness..."

At this time, Zhou Bangren on the side said: "According to a rough calculation..."

"There are a hundred thousand of them!"

One hundred thousand!

When these words came out, the prince frowned and realized that something was wrong.

King Zhao stationed an army of 100,000 in Mobei.

The imperial court allocates food and salary expenses every month.

The troops, horses, money and food are extremely sufficient.

Why would you take off your pants to fart and make so many mistakes? Unless...

The weapons, horses, and food expenses of these 100,000 men are all extra! In addition to the 100,000 troops, King Zhao also had

We still need to arm a team of 100,000 people? !

The more he thought about this, the colder the prince felt on his back.

If things are really as you think.

Then the King of Zhao alone has an army of 200,000!

An army of two hundred thousand.

If Mobei and Wala intervene, they will go straight south.

But that time will be a catastrophe for the dynasty!

"There's one more!"

Just as the prince was getting nervous, Zhou Bangren said, "I also found that among the many purchase lists..."

"There are large quantities of sulfur, saltpeter and charcoal..."

"Moreover, the library and the master craftsman at Wanggongchang have mysteriously disappeared recently..."

“Could it be…”

Having said this, Zhou Bangren did not continue speaking.

If these things are related to food and soldiers, then it is too terrifying! An army of 200,000.

Also equipped with firearms!

If he has any rebellious intentions, he will go south with the bandits.

The consequences were simply disastrous! Even the prince was feeling dizzy at this moment.

After stabilizing himself for a moment, he slammed the table and said, "Someone come!"

Dengdengdeng! As soon as these words came out, the little eunuch who had just been pushed down ran in instantly.

He knelt down before the prince and said, "Your servant is here!"

"quick!"

Seeing the young eunuch in front of him, the prince said, "Send a letter to Jinling and tell His Majesty what happened here!"

"At the same time, let Wang Gongchang investigate the missing books and what kind of firearms the master craftsman was responsible for!"

“Be sure to be clear and detailed!”

"Also call General Jin of the Jinwu Guard. I have something important to discuss with him!"

The prince frowned as he spoke.

There is a hint of dominance between the lines.

Things here are already heading towards the worst direction.
