The daily life of Dali Siqing

Chapter 498 Investigating the Treasury

Qiantang County, in Fuyu Mountain.

"How is Yang Qingyuan's progress?!"

A mellow voice in the quiet room asked.

"Don't worry! Everything is according to the plan. The people from Shanyin Mansion just sent a message that Yang Qingyuan and Liu Wangshu probably went to the private place of the Guyue clan to find the secret of Yin soldiers." The soft voice spoke.

"So, now that Yang Qingyuan is back, he should have heard the news from Gu Yue and solved the mystery of the passage of Yin soldiers?!"

"Maybe! Judging from the Gyeonggi case, Yang Qingyuan and Di Zhiyuan, it's only right for you to think highly of them."

"However, the ancient Yue tribe has always had little communication with the outside world, and they don't trust Zhou Ting even more. How did Yang Qingyuan gain their trust!? You must know that such magic and witchcraft are also secrets within the ancient Yue tribe!" The soft voice was puzzled.

"Didn't you just say that?! Yang Qingyuan and Di Zhiyuan, we can't think too highly of them."

"..."

The person with the thick voice changed the subject, "Is your skill still flawed?! I can't hear your soft voice, it's still the original natural voice."

The soft-voiced man was silent when he heard the words, and he opened his mouth after a long time, "This exercise is really powerful. When I practiced the exercise, I was injured by the cold air and hurt the foot-shaoyin meridian, and I couldn't recover for a long time."

"You have entered the cave, and you can't be cured?!" The mellow voice was puzzled.

Three years ago, Yuan Qi Chao.Last year, the world was perfect.

This indeed gave many people who were stuck in Yuanhua Realm and had difficulty making progress, an opportunity to enter the Realm of Cave Profound Realm.

A series of top masters trapped in the Yuanhua Realm, such as the soft voice, the two elders of Gu Yue, all use this time to break through the realm and enter the cave.

Even Yang Qingyuan, Zhuang Xiaomeng and other talented young masters of the younger generation are suspected of taking advantage of the opportunity of the right time.

The soft voice shook his head and let out a long sigh.

"This injury cannot be resolved by breaking through the Cave Profound Realm. With internal injuries and kung fu flaws, I'm lucky that I didn't die!"

"Aren't you refining medicine?! What? It's been almost ten years, and you haven't mastered it yet?!"

When hearing the refining medicine, the soft voice raised a smile, "Hurry up! Hurry up! My medicine is almost ripe!"

Once this great medicine matures and is absorbed by him, he will be able to make great progress in martial arts, and at that time there will be few opponents in the Dongxuan Realm.

The mere Yang Qingyuan, the mere Liu Wangshu, and the mere Ye Jianhan are nothing more than chickens and dogs.

The soft-voiced person didn't think about it for too long, and returned to reality, and then changed his words, "This is a matter of the future! What should Yang Qingyuan do now?!"

The mellow voice smiled, "Don't look at his progress now, but everything he found is what the young master wants him to find out."

"Um?!"

"From the last fight in Gyeonggi, coupled with the understanding of Yang Qingyuan over the years, the payment this time was specially designed for Yang Qingyuan, and the ultimate purpose was for Yang Qingyuan to be able to investigate the case." The mellow voice was The top leader of the mysterious organization Qinglonghui in Yuezhou.

"..."

"It's too troublesome to design a plan that Yang Qingyuan can't see through, so let him check it out. Only after he checks everything out can we get those salaries safely."

……

In Shanyin Mansion, Yang Qingyuan and Di Zhiyuan returned to the imperial envoy's office.

Now that Li Da, the treasurer, is dead, the clue to the silver box is broken.

But although the clue to the silver box is broken, the silver vault is still there and cannot be moved away!
If you want to exchange the silver ingots in the box, it seems that there is a silver warehouse in Yuezhou where you can have the opportunity to exchange the silver ingots.

And the treasurer of the Yuezhou bank happened to be a person who had a problem but committed suicide in fear of crime.

When the clue to the silver box was cut off, Li Da's death also gave Yang Qingyuan and Di Zhiyuan a new direction.

Under the protection of three thousand martial arts soldiers, there is no way for a certain or small group of Jianghu forces to adjust their salary, no matter how high their martial arts are.

Then there is only one place where the payment can be adjusted - the Yuezhou Bank.

But there is still a problem. How did Li Da manage to transfer the 800 million taels of salary? !

Although he is the treasurer of the Yuezhou Bank, but Li Daguan is only from the seventh rank, he is not the controller of the Yuezhou Bank, but a server.

Moreover, the real guardians of the Yuezhou Bank are the elite of the Shenwu Army and the police of the Six Doors. As the bank manager, Li Da has no right to speak in front of them and it is impossible to mobilize them to do anything.

Relying on Li Da alone, it is absolutely impossible to transfer the money.

The imperial court's treasury was opened, and there were strict procedures for withdrawing silver.

Those who took the silver held the approval document of Yuezhou Governor's Office, and led by Yincao of Yuezhou Governor's Office, went to the Yuezhou Bank to take the silver.

Then, under the leadership of Yuezhou Yincao and the guard of the bank, the three in charge took out their keys and opened the gate of the bank.

After the bank was opened, the silver cao and the commander of the defenders were not allowed to enter the bank. Only the treasury and the small officials of the bank could enter it and count the silver.

Most of the silver in Yuezhou's silver treasury is stored in standard silver boxes, and the size and style of such silver boxes are all fixed.

Each box is full and can hold 5000 taels of silver.

In the remaining space, one or two can't be filled!

After the counting by the treasury is completed, the Bank of Communications will do the counting, and after being confirmed by the Bank of Communications, a seal will be posted and handed over to the banker.

This set of procedures has strict rules.

When leaving the treasury, the commander of the defenders will count the number of boxes to confirm whether they have taken too much silver.

During this process, the only ones who could get in touch with the silver were Li Da, the treasurer, and his subordinate treasury officials.

But it is impossible for them to have any chance to entrain official silver privately.

Every day when it is time to be on duty, the officials inside the treasury will go through double checks by the Shenwu Army and the Six Gates. The three parties belong to three systems, and the personnel from the Six Gates and the Shenwu Army will be constantly exchanged.

The personnel of the three parties did not have the opportunity and time to collude with each other.

Such a bank security system is already relatively complete in Dazhou.

So if the problem lies in the bank, then there are basically problems with the six gates in charge of guarding, the Shenwu army, and the officials in charge of the internal work of the bank.

"Zhiyuan, you are the deputy envoy of the Yuezhou Metropolitan Police. It is justifiable to investigate the officials inside the bank, and I will leave the affairs inside the bank to you. As for me, I will investigate the six-door guards and Shenwu soldiers who are in charge of guarding."

"Yes!"

Yang Qingyuan and Di Zhiyuan did not bring a large group of people to go.

Without confirming that the problem occurred in the Six Doors and the Shenwu Army, leading troops rashly will only make everyone feel dissatisfied.

On the way to the bank, Yang Qingyuan sent someone to notify the general of the Shenwu Army who guarded the bank and the six-door police in advance.

When Yang Qingyuan and Di Zhiyuan arrived, they were already waiting at the gate of the bank for the imperial envoy, the deposed envoy of Yuezhou.

"The last general of the Shenwu Army, Zhonglang General Yan Jianqiu, and the humble commander of the six sects, Wang Fuyan, respectfully welcome the deposed envoy!"

"You two are free!"

After the two got up, they saluted Di Zhiyuan again, "See Mr. Di!"

"Meet the two adults!"

After seeing the ceremony, Yang Qingyuan said, "We came here today to investigate Li Da's bribery and corruption. The two of you have worked with Master Li for a while, and I hope you will tell the truth."

"The last general (lower position) must know everything."

Then Yang Qingyuan followed the two to the garrison of the defenders, while Di Zhiyuan went to the inside of the bank to investigate the officials.

Yan Jianqiu and Wang Fuyan brought Yang Qingyuan and the accompanying policemen to a study.

"Master Yang, this is where we usually rest and work."

Yang Qingyuan was also polite, and sat down on the main seat.

"You two, I need to trouble you to call your generals and arresters here!"

To be honest, Yan Jianqiu and Wang Fuyan had already been preparing for this day.

From the moment the payment disappeared, they knew that as the guards of the bank, they must also be investigated.

The 800 million salary is not only a huge amount, but its significance is even greater.

Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, no one has dared to rob the military pay!
After a stick of incense, the Shenwu army and the middle level of the six doors all rushed here.

"Then let's start with you, General Yan!"

Yan Jianqiu followed Yang Qingyuan into the study.

When Yang Qingyuan made such a move, it must be unreasonable for these generals and school officers not to panic.

"Brother Liu, you six sects are well-informed. You know that the dethroning envoy is in such a big fight, why is it!?" A team was asking the head catcher beside him.

Although the personal relationship between the two parties is average, they have been colleagues for half a year after all, so it is not a problem to inquire about news under such circumstances.

The head catcher surnamed Liu spread his hands, and said softly, "What else can I do, isn't it just because of the robbery of the 800 million taels of silver?!"

"But wasn't this payment robbed by someone on the way of delivery? What's the matter with us cashiers?!"

"No one can escape this kind of shocking case! Everyone has to investigate!"

……

Not only Yang Qingyuan was questioned, but also members of the Ming Qiu Division of Dali Temple who accompanied him.

In the study room, Yang Qingyuan was talking with Yan Jianqiu, the general of the Shenwu Army.

"General Yan is from the Yan family in Fujian, right?"

Yan Jianqiu was taken aback, "My lord has read my file!?"

Yang Qingyuan smiled and shook his head, "That's not true! It's just that General Yan's accent should be someone from Minzhou. The Yan family in Minzhou has only Yangqi and Jianqingfang... That's why it is concluded that Yan The general is from the Yan clan."

"Master Yang is indeed knowledgeable and talented. Yes, the last general is from the Yan family in Fujian Province."

Yang Qingyuan smiled reservedly, pretending to be small is not considered pretending!
"When did General Yan transfer the Yuezhou bank!"

"Returning to my lord, the last general was originally stationed in Lingnan to prevent Japanese pirates from harassing merchant ships. At the end of August last year, he received an order from the Shenwu Army camp and ordered him to go to the bank of Yuezhou to garrison. My lord should also know this. In the Shenwu Army, it is normal to switch defenses."

Yang Qingyuan nodded, Yuezhou Bank is not only a bank in Yuezhou, but also spreads to several surrounding states, and it is not one of the largest bank in the south of the Yangtze River.

Every year, the taxes paid by the states to the imperial court will be transferred to the Yuezhou Bank after deducting the excess funds allocated by the imperial court.

The Yuezhou Bank is not only the bank of the governor of Yuezhou, but also the bank of the imperial court.

Therefore, the Yuezhou Bank's defenses are the most stringent, and the generals of the Shenwu Army will continue to deploy defenses.

Although the bank treasuries of other states are also well-prepared, they are much worse than those of Yuezhou bank.

"After handing over the military affairs at hand, the general will set off immediately and arrive in Yuezhou in late September. It has been about eight months since he took office."

Yang Qingyuan rubbed his fingers lightly. The guards of the Yuezhou Bank changed every six months to a year, and the time was uncertain. In other words, it was almost time for the guards of the Yuezhou Bank to change defense.

"Does General Yan have much contact with Li Da, the treasurer?!"

"This..., can't be too small! After all, the guards will meet every day, and the key to the humble job is also needed to open the bank!"

One of the three keys to the gate of Yuezhou Bank is in Yan Jianqiu's hands.

"General Yan has always carried this key with him!"

"Yes!"

"The key ever left General Yan."

Yan Jianqiu replied without hesitation, "The general does not dare to slack off his duties. Even when he takes a bath and goes to the toilet, he will carry this key with him, and he dare not leave his body at all times."

Yang Qingyuan continued, "General Yan really fulfilled his duty, let's continue the previous topic! What kind of person does General Yan think Li Da is?"

"This..., it should be said that Li Zhangku is serious and cautious in his work, not good at speaking and communicating, and he should be relatively clean as an official."

"Oh?!"

It is not a surprise that he is conscientious and cautious in his work, and not good at communicating with words, which can be seen in his daily work, but why do he still know that he is a clean and honest official?

Yang Qingyuan immediately asked, "Tell me specifically, why do you think he is a clean and honest official?"

"Speaking of it, it's also from daily observations. Li Zhangku should be on duty every day, and he has to go through the double inspection of our Shenwu Army and the six doors. This inspection is to take off the outer shoes and socks, leaving only the inner shirt .”

"As for Li Zhangku's shirt and socks, there are patches all the year round. It's ashamed to say that the general also thinks he is a clean person, but compared with Li Zhangku, he is still ashamed."

Yang Qingyuan nodded. People from the Dali Temple had visited Li Da's residence, and found nothing in his residence.

It's like the residence of an ordinary petty official, there is even a patch on the quilt.

Moreover, Li Da has never married a wife and has no son, which is too abnormal for a 32-year-old official.

But from Yan Jianqiu's description, this Li Da really looks like an honest official.

Afterwards, Yang Qingyuan and Yan Jianqiu talked about some details about Li Da. The contact between the two was basically because of business affairs, and Yan Jianqiu didn't know much.

But on the whole, Yang Qingyuan has portrayed a simple image of Li Da.

A low-level official who works hard, is not good at communication, is taciturn, has few personal interests and hobbies, and has certain moral pursuits.

But will such a person become one of the accomplices in the payment case? !

Or, he has been pretending, so that people around him can't even discover his true face.

Yang Qingyuan put a question mark on Li Da in his heart.

"By the way, General Yan, during the few months you were on duty, did anything weird happen to this bank?"

Yan Jianqiu pondered for a long time. The job of guarding the bank is boring and simple. What's so weird about it?
"It doesn't have to be a weird thing, it's okay if it's different from usual."

"Indeed not," Yan Jianqiu shook his head, "If it must be different from usual, it must be in February this year, when a batch of green plants were planted in the bank."

"Green plants?!"
