Chapter 1240
"Oh!"

With a loud bang, the city gate of Taiyuan was slammed shut.

Hao Tian turned around with a stern face, and gave orders one after another.

In fact, he attached great importance to the threat of Tang Jun, and had long said that he would completely seal off Taiyuan City.But Ahema has always opposed it, saying that he will transport the money grain to Yanjing.

The difference between the two is that Hao Tianting cares more about defending Taiyuan, while Ahema cares more about transporting Qiangu away as soon as possible.

Because as long as the money grain is transported away, even if the war is not going well, Ahema can just run away.

The original words are "Don't care about the gains and losses of a city or a place, as long as Li Xia is not given money and population, the more cities he conquers, the less his troops will be, and the heavier the burden will be."

Fortunately, Ahema was finally assassinated.

Sometimes Hao Tianting wondered if he did it himself.

The warehouses in the city were sealed off, and Hao Tianting took over all the peasants who were originally summoned to transport grain, and used them to build up the defense of Taiyuan City.

The difference between the Marquis and the Minister of Finance is vividly reflected at this moment.

"call."

After arranging all this, Hao Tian heaved a long sigh of relief as he watched the civilians laying out fortifications on the top of the city in an orderly manner.

"Qilang." Hao Tianze said: "Aren't you being too careful? After all, when the news came, even Brother Phase Shift said that Li Xia had already retreated."

"Let's wait until King Phase Shifter captures Baozhou."

"You, be careful."

"Be careful sailing for thousands of years." Hao Tianting said: "Fifth Brother, there is something I want to entrust to you."

"what?"

Hao Tianting pulled Hao Tianze two steps away, lowered his voice, and said, "I've always suspected it before, but now that Ahema's assassination case came out, I'm even more convinced..."

He slowed down, trying to suppress the fear in his tone.

"Hao Tianyi is back."

"What?" Hao Tianze was shocked, and said, "How dare he come back?"

The Hao family is different from the Zhang family. Zhang Wulang's descent to the Tang Dynasty can be said to be the Zhang family's two boats. This time when Zhang Wulang comes back, he is Guangzong Yaozu.And Hao Tianyi, the boss of the Hao family, was almost killed by several brothers at that time.

"He came back this time because he wanted the lives of our brothers." Hao Tianting said in a low voice: "Do you remember the death of the third brother? It was done by the assassin of the Military Intelligence Department. Do you know that the next one is Ahema, or you and me? "

"Qilang, he is not benevolent, so don't blame us for being unrighteous, kill him?"

"He must be contacting the old department." Hao Tianting said: "Fifth brother go find him."

"it is good."

"Also, since such a big incident happened in the city today, there must be people from the Military Intelligence Department rushing out of the city. Unfortunately, I came late. You can send someone to investigate, and you can track down Hao Tianyi from here."

"What about you?"

Hao Tianting sighed, "I still have to deal with those perverted people."

~~
"Marshal Hao is here."

"Some military affairs have to be dealt with immediately, so how is the treasurer?"

"I just arrived too." Sang Ge raised his hand with a smile and said, "Shall we go in together?"

Hao Tianting couldn't help asking: "It's because I haven't entertained you well, where did Shang Shu go?"

"Looking around in the city, the Minister of Finance is worthy of being a capable minister. He has confiscated so much money...much more than I expected before I came here."

Following the last sentence with some deep meaning, Sang Ge smiled wryly and shook his head.

Hao Tian was thoughtful.

The two of them entered the courtyard where Ahema was resting, and after waiting for a while, they saw a doctor come out, shaking their heads while carrying the medicine box.

"The situation is not good, it is not good."

"If it is off by an inch, it will be broken."

"It can be said to have escaped from death..."

Hao Tianting watched the doctors leave sideways, and then entered the room with Sang Ge.

There was a strong smell of medicine in the room, and Ahema was lying on the bed, dying.

"Minister of Finance, this..."

Sang Ge stepped forward, heartbroken.

Regardless of the seriousness of his injuries, Ahema murmured: "National affairs...critical...leave it to...you...you..."

"Minister of Finance, let's say a few words less." Yidu Martin stepped forward to persuade, and then said to Brother Sang: "The Minister of Finance is seriously injured. Fortunately, Brother Sang is here, so it's better to hand over the transfer of Qiangu in Shanxi to Sang." Brother Shangshu?"

Sang Ge couldn't help showing embarrassment, and refused twice, but he couldn't refuse, so he had to agree.

In Ahema's situation, it was inconvenient for him and Hao Tianting to stay any longer, so they quickly withdrew.

After coming out, Brother Sang was in a dilemma, and finally asked: "Marshal Hao, I heard that you recruited all the peasants who went north from Yunqian Valley?"

Hao Tianting was originally polite and treated Sang Ge with an attitude of hospitality, but at this moment, his whole body changed, and his eyes became stern.

"The war is imminent, and this is also out of helplessness."

"But……"

"Sangge Shangshu, it's been a long journey, so let's rest earlier." Hao Tianting said calmly, and walked away.

Originally, everyone's interests had nothing to do with it, so they could still be polite.Once there is a conflict of interest, the strong dragon can't overwhelm the local snake.

Sang Ge stood there alone, smiling more wryly.

He has already figured out many things, and he has been suppressed by others.

He murmured: "Ahema, the Great Khan doesn't want to punish you, as long as you take out some stolen money..."

~~
"Financial Minister, Hao Tianting left Brother Sang and left."

Yidu Martin leaned in front of Ahema and said something like this.

"Sure enough." Ahema asked, "Have you put away all the account books, letter seals, and documents?"

"It's all taken away. It's under the bed of the treasurer. No matter how capable Sang Ge is, no one will listen to him in this Shanxi border."

"That's good."

Ahma smiled.

In fact, he knew very well that the Great Khan had only sent Sang Ge, and had no intention of disposing of him.

But Brother Sang came this time because he wanted to get some money from Ahema, and Ahema knew it. He didn't want to, and felt very uncomfortable.

He was Chabi's dowry slave. As for the days before he became a slave, he didn't remember much. He only knew that his tribe was defeated and he became a spoil of war. Later, he was exchanged for a sheep.

When he grows up a bit, someone buys him with five tangs, and he will remember that he is worth five tangs.

Up to now, he has far more than this amount. He has so much money that his descendants can't spend it for generations, but he just doesn't want to spend it, he just wants to see it getting more and more.

Even if Kublai Khan wanted him to pay, he was unwilling.He felt that he had made enough money for Kublai Khan.

Therefore, Ahema personally planned the assassination.

He wants to make Sang Ge, the newly favored financial minister, suffer a big stumble in Shanxi, and let Kublai Khan know that Sang Ge is not enough to replace him, Ahema.

"However, there is one bad thing." Yidu Martin said again: "Hao Tianting has sealed off several warehouses, it seems that he wants to take the opportunity to replenish his military supplies."

"What?!" Ahema said, "Those are money grains for the Great Khan, how dare he do it without my permission."

"Now he just found an excuse. It can be said that the war is urgent, and the treasurer is seriously injured and unable to speak. He directly transferred the money and food, and turned it back to Sang Ge."

"The war is urgent, the king said that Li Xia has already retreated!"

Ahema thought about it, but in the end, Hao Tianting was unwilling to use the hard-earned money and food for meaningless defense, so he ordered: "Go and warn Hao Tianting, this batch of money and food is what the Khan wants. Follow him every day, Keep an eye on..."

~~
In the next few days, although Ahema was still pretending to be sick, he kept staring at his colleagues in Taiyuan City.

Brother Sang really stumbled hard. He was alone in Taiyuan and couldn't do anything. Seeing that the time to deliver grain and grass to Yanjing was getting closer, he was so anxious that he walked around in circles.

And Hao Tianting obviously has the intention of moving the food and grass in the city, so for the time being, it all depends on Martin's staring.

Ahema began to think that the end was almost over.

"Finance Minister, Brother Sang has come to see you."

As soon as Ahema heard it, he knew that Brother Sang was here to give in, and said, "Let him in."

Soon, Brother Sang entered the room, but he glanced at Yidu Martin, hesitant to speak.

Ahema told Yidu Martin to go out with his eyes, and then lay there, closing his eyes and meditating.

"Finance Minister, your injury must have improved a lot these days?" Sang Ge asked.

"Ah."

"When I set off, the Great Khan kept telling me that you were from the tribe of Ketun, and he always trusted you, but someone always secretly said that you were greedy for military supplies. If you are innocent, let those people shut up."

Ahema didn't answer, as if he was still seriously injured.

Sang Ge continued: "I went to Taiyuan to take a look, and you are indeed the treasurer I respect, and you have not done anything greedy."

Ahema finally opened his eyes and nodded slowly.

Brother Sang said again: "I wonder how did those rumors come out? Why are people accusing the treasurer of being so clean and honest? I checked and checked in the past few days, and I found out."

There was a slight pause, before Ahema's anger welled up, Sang Ge threw out a name.

"Yidu Martin. It turned out that Yidu Martin was behind your back and swallowed countless wealth. Reporting his perverted acts to the Great Khan will clear your suspicion of the treasurer..."

Ahema was still unhappy.

He understood what Sang Ge meant, but he didn't intend to abandon Yidu Martin, who had always followed him, to accept Sang Ge.

However, Sang Ge has handed over an account.

"This is the amount embezzled by Yidu Martin that I found out. I guarantee that it is completely true. Please take a look at it."

Ahema reluctantly opened his sick eyes and took a look, his expression froze involuntarily.

He always knew that Martin was greedy, but he didn't expect to be greedy so much.

"Minister of Finance." Sang Ge put on a flattering smile, knelt down beside Ahema's couch, looking devout, "Yidu Martin has done it before, I'm different from him, I'm smarter than him, not like He is so greedy, and I hope to learn from you in the future."

These people have always spoken directly, and at this point, Sang Ge simply said it clearly.

"It's good for you and me to deal with Yidu Martin and let him hand over all his property. His Majesty is also happy. How good it is."

"..."

Ahma laughed.

He felt that Sang Ge was very clever and cleverly cracked his test.

~~
Sang Ge's cleverness made the turmoil in Taiyuan City pass like this.

Hao Tianting was still thinking about how to take the opportunity to fully grasp the defenses of Taiyuan City. Ahema and Sangge had already stood opposite him in unison.

"Marshal Hao, these civilian husbands were recruited by the Minister of Finance to transport money to Yanjing for His Majesty. Can you afford to detain them?"

"These are folk husbands from Shanxi."

"But it's not yours." Sang Ge sarcastically said.

He stood in front of Ahmad.

And Ahema had bandaged the wound, and sat on the chair with the wound, looking loyal and diligent for the country.

Hao Tian quite understood the threatening meaning in this sentence, and his tone softened, and he replied: "I am just worried about whether the Tang army wants to attack Taiyuan because of the assassination of Cai. If Taiyuan is lost and loses this batch of money, it will be a mistake His Majesty's business."

He was just looking for an excuse, and he knew very well in his heart that Ahema's assassination was planned by himself.

"Tang Jun?" Sang Ge said: "Have you read the news sent by Brother Yixiang? Tang Jun has already retreated, so he said Liu Yuanli is trapped by many high mountains and dangerous passes, can he attack Taiyuan?"

Hao Tian was speechless to refute.

When the situation was more critical, Ahema was still going to Yanjing to transport money to the Valley, but now that the situation has indeed eased, he has no reason to object.

It was only when Hao Tian was leaving Ahhema's residence that day that he spat heavily before he could speak.

"Heh, it's only been a few years since the founding of the country, a group of beetles..."
