A tree of peach blossoms pressing the prime minister

Chapter 219 The Patriot Thief

The night was dark and the wind was high, Leng Fengchang's people went all the way out of the city to Da Wei's barracks, Shen Zaiye was already waiting, and when he saw the people coming, he said: "The big battle is coming, I wonder if Mr. Leng can think about it?"

Zhang Tian arched his hands and said: "Your Excellency's sincerity has been received, and the food and payment promised by your Excellency will be delivered immediately. The delivery route is here. I also ask the Prime Minister to cooperate and send people to rob."

Shen Zaiye raised his eyebrows, and reached out to take the map: "Does anyone else know this route?"

"Of course not." Zhang Tian said with a smile: "This is considered a secret, if you are willing to give it to the Prime Minister, you have absolute trust in the Prime Minister."

"Would your lord be involved if the food and salaries along the way were robbed?"

Zhang Tian bowed his hands: "This is the purpose of coming here today. If you do this, you will inevitably be blamed, so if you want to entrust the lives of the whole family to the prime minister first, and then when there is no way out, you will take people to the prime minister. Before that, adults will do their best to help the prime minister."

"Okay." Shen Zaiye nodded: "Send him here, and I will definitely protect the lives of Mr. Leng and his family."

"After someone delivers it, the side door of the capital will also be opened for the Prime Minister." Zhang Tiandao: "What the Prime Minister wants, you can get it at your fingertips."

Shen Zaiye smiled, waved someone to send him out, and then sat in the tent and twirled his fingers.

Xu Yangui came out from the dark, frowned and looked at the door of the tent and said: "This Leng Fengchang is really relieved, he actually entrusted the whole family's life to you."

"He has no other choice." Shen Zaiye hooked his lips: "This move is also a sincere surrender to me. It is indeed much easier to capture Zhao Guo with his line."

Xu Yangui frowned: "Isn't Jiang Taohua that smart? Why didn't you notice this person?"

"She should have noticed." Shen Zaiye smiled: "It's just that Zhao Guoguo's capital is in chaos now, and Leng Fengchang is the head of the Jiuqing. Without hard evidence, she can't do anything to him."

Xu Yan glanced at him: "Now we are hostile to Jiang, and you chose this position yourself. Since you are already an enemy, can you stop using such a doting tone when you mention her?"

Unhappy, Shen Zaiye said: "Your ear is wrong, my tone is very ordinary. But, is her body really okay? When I saw her today, her face didn't improve, she was still very haggard."

Although not being pregnant made him less worried, when the arrow shot out, her face still looked a little worrying.

Xu Yangui snorted and laughed: "You really care about her so much, so make a quick decision to end this war and bring her back to raise her as soon as possible."

Quick fix?Shen Zaiye sighed, there are so many people in Zhao country, it might not be solved in a while.

Qianbaimei and Qingmo emptied many corrupt officials' lairs, and because they were both skilled, the government couldn't catch them.When the officials came to Jiang Changjue, Changjue said helplessly, "The city is in chaos recently, and there is a shortage of troops. Where do you find the energy to chase after the thieves? You are all honest and honest officials, and the money lost will not be much. I will make up for it later. Bar."

The faces of several officials turned green when they heard this, they couldn't tell the third prince that it was a huge sum of money, they could only suffer this dull loss.

Taohua and Qianbaimei shut their accounts in the room, laughing so hard that they couldn't close their mouths: "Master and Qingmos really worked hard!"

Such a large sum of money is really enough to save the whole world.

Qianbaimei stretched out her hand and touched her forehead: "If I knew these things would make you so happy, I would have stolen all the money in the capital for you as a teacher."

Taohua was taken aback for a moment, and stared blankly at her master.The latter also had a meal, and hurriedly stopped talking and said, "It also prevents you from always having a sad face, and making people like us by your side unhappy."

That's it, Jiang Taohua smiled again, counting the banknotes and said: "You guys are happy as long as you want, don't worry about me."

If you are not happy, who can be happy?Qianbaimei sighed, shook his head lightly, and said: "By the way, there has been movement in Leng Fengchang's family."

"Oh?" Putting down the banknote, Tao Hua hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

"He seems to intend to send his family away, and he is already packing up the belongings, but...his vault is the cleanest, and he will probably come to you soon."

Covering her lips and laughing twice, Tao Hua said: "What's the use of looking for me? I won't admit that the silver is with me."

As soon as the words were finished, Qingmoss' voice sounded outside: "Master, coldly ask Mr. Chang to see you."

It came really fast!Taohua raised her eyebrows, pushed her master out of the window, and went forward to open the door.

Leng Fengchang's face was very ugly, and his eyes were not very friendly when he came in. He looked at her and said, "Second princess, the treasury of Zhao State is empty, and there is no extra silver to spend on food and pay, but you gave so much silver with a wave of your hand. , I would like to ask, where did your money come from?"

Taohua smiled calmly: "I said it was private money, sir, don't you believe me?"

"I really don't believe that anyone's private house has so much money!" Leng Fengchang said: "Recently, many officials' homes in the capital were stolen. The money in the hands of the second princess must not be related to this matter, right?"

"Your Excellency is too worried." Tao Hua said calmly: "I have always kept a lot of private money in Dawei. If you don't believe me, you can go to Guantong Bank to check it out. I have sent more than 1 taels of gold to you before. Chang Jue was used as military supplies, and it was sent to the official account of the military camp where he was, and the records should still be there. Do you think 1 taels of gold is a small amount?"

After a slight pause, Leng Feng often frowned, thinking that Da Wei is really so rich?

"Besides." Taohua smiled: "My lord also said that the palace gave me a lot of silver. Could it be that the officials in our court are all corrupt officials? Only a few houses have been thieves, and you can have so much silver?"

Pursing his lips, Leng Fengchang cupped his hands: "It's the minister who was abrupt and didn't investigate carefully. This matter, the minister will send another person to investigate."

"Okay." Tao Hua said: "I don't care how your lord wants to investigate, but there is one thing, your lord must always remember that you are from Zhao country, so don't do anything wrong to Zhao country."

With a chill in his heart, Leng Fengchang subconsciously glanced at Jiang Taohua.

What did she see?
Now that things have happened, he has no other way out, if he is really found out, he can run away at worst, which is better than staying here all the time!

"I understand." After bowing his hands and saluting, Leng Fengchang turned around and backed out.

Tao Hua propped her chin and looked at his back, called Qing Moss, and sent a message to Chang Jue, telling him to prepare carefully.

The last batch of rations was about to arrive in the capital, and as soon as this batch of rations entered the warehouse, Jiang Taohua felt that she could sleep soundly.

However, the very secret transportation route was discovered by Shen Zaiye. The entire transportation team was wiped out and the food and salaries were robbed. Jiang Changjue was furious when he heard it.

"There is a traitor!"

The transportation route was changed many times, just because they were afraid of being known by the people of Wei, so they specially chose to transport the food in the middle of the night, but they were still robbed.It's impossible for Wei's people to lie in ambush outside in the middle of the night, so they can only know the news in advance.

Leng Fengchang and Zhisu's internal officials knelt outside, shouting for grievances together: "I don't know about it, there is absolutely no news leaked out, please the Second Prince look into it!"

Jiang Changjue gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Only you know the route. If you don't know, then who else knows? Mr. Leng kept saying that he was fighting for Zhao Guo, but he stabbed Zhao Guo in the back?"

The ministers discussed, but Leng Fengchang insisted: "This minister is not guilty!"

Thinking that he is a traitor is just a guess, after all, there is no clear evidence in hand, after Jiang Changjue got angry for a while, he could only temporarily imprison Leng Fengchang.

"Sister Huang." Back in the palace, Chang Jue frowned and said, "What can I do with Leng Fengchang?"

Tao Hua calmly said: "It's obvious that he has betrayed his heart, but there is no conclusive evidence yet. Right now his family is planning to leave the city, but your people blocked the door, right? You just let them out."

"Let them go?" Jiang Changjue shook his head: "How can that be done? Wouldn't he be even more fearless if he let his family members leave the capital even though he knew he was rebellious?"

"What you want is that he be fearless." Tao Hua said, "You only need a name that can convict him, and he wants to give it to you. Do you still have a reason for not wanting it?"

After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Changjue figured it out, and immediately ordered someone to release the Leng family members from the city.This release can't be released directly, but to pretend to let them escape accidentally, and drive them out of the city gate.

As soon as Leng's family left, Leng Fengchang heaved a sigh of relief, but there were many discussions in the court.

"Master Leng still wants to be alone in the midst of such a disaster?" Lai Shiqing said displeasedly: "The second princess is still in the city, what do you mean by sending all the family members away?"

"Yes." Fan Yushi also said: "Could it be true that Master Leng is going to be a traitor as they said?"

"How could it be?" Leng Fengchang said with a smile: "The family members are just timid, so they went out to take refuge. After all, our country may not be able to defend it. Would the two adults be willing to take the whole family to accompany the second prince?" Die together?"

It makes sense, but this behavior is always disgusting.

"The second prince doesn't trust the lord now, so the lord should hand over the order from the side door." Lai Shiqing said: "Let's leave the matter of food and salary to other people for the time being."

Leng Fengchang smiled, bowed his head and remained silent. Seeing this, the two old ministers felt a sinking heart: "What do you mean? You don't want to hand it over?"

"It's not that I don't want to." Leng Fengchang sighed: "The next official is just involuntary."

The token is no longer with him, and it is estimated that the people of Wei have been brought in through the side door as grain transport soldiers.

Taohuazheng and Qianbaimei were squatting on the gate tower by the side entrance.

Sighing melancholy, Tao Hua said: "There are a lot of corrupt officials and treacherous officials in this imperial court. Look at this Leng Fengchang, who talks about protecting the country, but behind his back is doing this kind of business."

There were grain transport soldiers coming in from the bottom of the city tower, Qian Baimei picked one up and put it in front of Taohua to torture her.
