The past life is cold and the present life is warm

Chapter 190 Doubt
Shao Zhirong was secretly startled when he heard the words of shopkeeper Wang, he never thought that there was his father's handwriting in it.In fact, did my father know the truth at the beginning?That's why he insisted that it was a natural disaster.

Just when he was wondering, he heard shopkeeper Wang say: "You were probably still young at that time, so the prince will not tell you all these trivial matters one by one."

These words reminded Shao Zhiyan of the time when he and his father were stationed at the northwest border.One year, just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, there was heavy snow at the border. This snow came much earlier than in previous years.The Hu tribe outside the Great Wall once again came to plunder resources.The scale of that time was huge. According to my father, several tribes should have been integrated.At that time, the Hu people seemed to be crazy, and there was a posture that they would never turn back until they broke the city.

At that time, the imperial court had not allocated new supplies to the Northwest for a long time.The winter clothes of many soldiers are hardened and cannot withstand the winter.At that time, not only the soldiers complained, but even the father and the veterans were also dissatisfied, but everyone still carried it that time.

It turns out that my father wrote a letter to my uncle.No wonder a lot of supplies were shipped later.But the time gap in between is a bit big.This batch of supplies had already been shipped to the northwest before the prince's brother had an accident.If the prince's elder brother planned to go to the northwest because of his father's letter, it would be unreasonable.After all, the war was over by then.The defenders have won a big victory.

Shao Zhiyan asked out the doubts in his heart.Shopkeeper Wang sighed and said, "The content of your father's letter is not limited to material matters. In that memorial, your father said that the Hu people would come to invade every winter. Simply defending the city will only waste people and money. It will also encourage Hu The morale of the family. His Royal Highness felt that what your father said was quite reasonable. So he also thought of a way to solve this problem. Later, he seemed to read the book brought back from Yangxing and saw some good weapons, so he wanted to help the soldiers in the northwest. "

Hearing Shopkeeper Wang's words, Shao Zhirong understood.In the year of the prince's death, before the cold winter, his father led a team of cavalry to raid several Hu tribes.It hurt their vitality greatly, and the Hu tribe never came to invade that winter.And because they have to face the difficulties of winter, they migrated to the northwest on a large scale before winter.

At that time, my father predicted that the Hu people would not invade for at least five years.It was precisely because of this that my uncle recalled his father to the capital.But is all this necessarily related to the death of the prince's brother?Or is it just a coincidence that someone took advantage of this to murder the prince's brother?
"So it was the prince's elder brother who proposed to go to the Northwest Camp at the beginning?" Shao Zhiyan asked puzzled, "He can send someone or write a letter for such a matter. There is no need to go there in person. "

Shopkeeper Wang sighed: "It was the emperor's secret decree to send the crown prince there. Because your father often writes memorials to complain about supplies. So your majesty is very angry, because a lot of money is allocated from the treasury to the Northwest Barracks every year. But The Duke of the State still wrote a memorial saying that there is not enough here and there is not enough. So His Majesty was angry for a while and felt that either your father was greedy for money, or our household department was greedy. So he asked the prince to exchange all the supplies for real things that time, and let the household The ministries and officials register at the same time."

Shao Zhiyan frowned: "But the money we get from the Northwest Camp every year is just enough to pay the military. It is true that there is no other money to buy military supplies. So is there someone in your household who is corrupt?"

Shopkeeper Wang sighed deeply and said: "From my death, to the fact that my crime was successfully blamed, it is indeed the case. And from the perspective of Ishii Hua's betrayal, I am afraid it is not such a simple problem."

"So, it was my uncle's intention that the elder brother of the crown prince went to the Northwest Camp? But, didn't you say that the elder brother of the crown prince went there on his own initiative?" Shao Zhiyan felt more doubts.

"I have never said that His Highness the Crown Prince is going by himself. It is only because it is a secret decree that it is rumored that the Crown Prince is going to Northwest Daying by himself." Shopkeeper Wang answered Shao Zhiyan's question.

The doubts in Shao Zhirong's heart became heavier, so who killed the prince's brother?He has very little information.After the death of the prince's elder brother, he himself encountered so many things, and when he cheered up, he had no clues left for himself.

Although he doubted Xiao Jingchang.However, it is impossible not to leave clues for such a big action as killing the prince of a country.He felt that Xiao Jingchang was not alone in this matter.So this is a huge conspiracy.

He took a deep breath and said to shopkeeper Wang: "Alright, your matter may be a good opportunity. I will send someone to investigate the matter of Lingnan back then. I have transferred all your previous account books to uncle. And The account books of the Ministry of Accounts have obviously been tampered with. For some reason, my uncle exonerated you after knowing your death. He didn’t check carefully. Do you still have a backup account book. "

Shopkeeper Wang hesitated for a moment, then frowned and said, "Yes, yes, but I'm not sure if they took it away when they ransacked the house. If they didn't take it away, I don't know if it was discovered by the current household secretary."

Shao Zhiyan was a little surprised: "Did you leave them in the Shangshu Mansion?"

Shopkeeper Wang nodded with some difficulty: "At the beginning, I only knew that bad things would definitely happen when I left Beijing. But I never thought that it would be something that would affect the nine clans. So I didn't transfer it. I was just afraid that someone would steal it. The crown prince gave me something. So I asked my wife to keep it."

Shao Zhiyan frowned and nodded and continued to ask: "Where did you put the things? I'll send someone to see if they can be taken out."

After Su Wanqiu talked with Mr. Wan about the guards, she was about to go to Erlizhuang outside the city, but Shen Ping said at this time: "If we go to Erlizhuang now, I'm afraid we won't be able to come back before the lights are turned on. And girl, you don't know Lu Zimeng either." Father. You may not be able to find him if you go there."

After hearing this, Bixi looked at Su Wanqiu anxiously and said, "What should I do, girl. I finally got news about this person. What if he ran away again?"

Su Wanqiu closed her eyes and imitated her master's calculations, then said with a smile: "No hurry, he probably won't run away so easily. Let's go home."

Seeing that her own lady is not in a hurry, Bixi is also relieved.But then she asked puzzledly: "Miss, since Danmei and her brother plot against you, why do you want to help him become famous? Aren't you repaying revenge with virtue?"

Su Wanqiu smiled slightly and said to the tourmaline: "Not bad, he also knows how to repay grievances with virtue. Don't worry, I did the math for Zhou Ziyao last night, his official career should have been smooth sailing. Although there are minor twists and turns, they are not major problems." But just now when I came out of the bookstore, I made a rough calculation for him. His official career has been greatly hindered."

Tourmaline was even more puzzled and asked: "Miss, why did you go to the bookstore and help him sell books, but his career has been hindered?"
