Pen Interest Pavilion www.xbiquge.cc, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the sun and moon wind!    Xue Ke Yong led people to wait in front of the Ministry of War Yamen, Han Di was brought into the Yamen by Deng Taichu, the Minister of the Household Department, and did not come out for a little half a day.

Just this small half day is enough to let this side of things in the vermilion bird street back and forth spread all over.

So the various departments on the vermilion bird street government offices have a sense of a storm is coming.

The Ministry of Bing Fan Wenzheng case has just ended, no one expected that a new storm came so quickly.

And the people of the various divisions are very clear, this storm is by no means Fan Wenzheng a case can be compared to.

Fan Wenzheng case, from the beginning is destined to result.

The loss of the West Ling, as the Ministry of the Ministry of the military hall officer Fan Wenzheng did not take the initiative to the court, and even deliberately concealed, and thought to involve the other Yamen to protect their own, self-righteous but in a panic to use the stupid means, the Ministry of punishment to Fan Wenzheng painful killings, that is the result of all expected.

But this time the situation, but obviously and last time completely different.

Sitting in the Yamen those adults, most of them are cultivated foxes of a thousand years, Xue Ke with the end revealed in front of the Ministry of War, has made these old foxes quickly guessed the doorway behind.

The adults are very clear, the second best, embezzlement of military funds, the matter will be made airtight, there are only two possibilities.

One is that this thing is really planned seamlessly, behind the planning of the people have amazing strategy and sleight of hand, in the eyes of the emperor to do things in the most secretive.

The other possibility is that the means behind the nobleman is too ruthless, the people involved in this matter are careful, no one dares to disclose a word, or even if the outsiders see the clues, but also afraid of the power of the nobleman, do not dare to publicize, more dare not get involved in the right and wrong.

In the eyes of the emperor, involving several Yamen a big case, the emperor knows nothing, even the gang of eunuchs in purple robes are also unaware, which really does not make sense.

Fan Wenzheng's case from the beginning we can guess the end, but this big case of corruption, no one knows what kind of a development will follow.

But everyone understands that no matter how the development, they have to do is how far to avoid how far, should not say a word can not say.

Shrink up, may not be able to guarantee that they will not necessarily be implicated, but stick out your head, that is seeking death.

So after Xue Ke used to open the box to break the knife, each division yamen quickly their own people back in the yamen, the entire Zhuque Street empty, even the guards in front of each division yamen are no longer to the Ministry of War this side of a glance.

The only people in front of the Ministry of War's Yamen, Xue Ke Yong and his men, are Qin Yi and Xu Lang and a few other people from the A Treasury Department.

The east window incident, the A Treasury Department is the scene of the crime, as the A Treasury Department of the order officer and the book order officer, Qin Yi and Xu Lang naturally can not continue to sit steadily in the arsenal.

After a while, finally saw Deng Taichu come out again and said to Xue Ke Yong: "Xue Ke Yong, this is a big matter, the Lord of the Ministry has sent people to guard Han Di, so that he will tell the whole story of this matter. You take your men to the Four Square Pavilion first, do not leave the capital for the time being." The cough, behind immediately came up an official, but it is the C word treasury official Fei Qiji, Qin Yi recognized.

Fei Qiji came forward, very kind, and gave an arch to Xue Ke-Yong: "Commander Xue, my official will send you to the Four Square Pavilion."

The Sifang Pavilion is under the jurisdiction of Honglu Temple, mainly used to receive ambassadors from foreign countries in the four directions, now also used to entertain local foreign officials, foreign officials entering the capital, officials above the fifth rank can stay in the Sifang Pavilion.

Xue Ke-yong looked very calm at this moment and said to Deng Taichu, "Lord Deng, I don't know when I can receive my weapons and leave the capital?"

"Xue Keyong, since this matter has come to this point, when you will leave the capital, this official really can't give you an answer." Deng Taichu looked bland: "You go to the four-sided tube first and wait for the news. But the Lord of the Ministry asked me to bring you a message, since you have uncovered the warehouse dance

The Ministry of War will not sit idly by, and the court will not let it go, it must be thoroughly investigated to the end."

Xue Ke Yong said, "Then I will wait at the Four Square Pavilion!" No nonsense, Fei Qiji led the way, Xue Ke Yong led his men to leave, the several carts of remnants of swords remained in front of the Ministry of War.

Deng Taichu saw Xue Ke Yong leave, then ordered the guards to drive the carriages down to guard, saw Qin Yi and Xu Lang standing at the bottom of the steps, frowned and said coldly: "How is the arsenal?"

"In reply to your Excellency's words, the guards of Wu De Fang have been asked to block off the access roads, and no one is allowed to enter or leave for the time being." Qin Yi, however, said respectfully.

"You guys follow me in!"

Qin Yi and Xu Lang followed Deng Taichu into the courthouse, Deng Taichu brought the two of them directly to Dou Mou's side, Dou Mou stood by the window, with his hands behind his back, looking at the big trees outside, although he heard the footsteps behind him, but did not turn around.

Inside the house, however, there was no sign of Han Di.

"Your Excellency, Qin Yi and Xu Lang are here."

Dou (Dou) then turned around, Qin Yi saw his face cloudy, his look shady to the extreme, only to see Dou (Dou) gaze swept over Xu Lang, fell on Qin Yi face, coldly said: "Qin Yi, the armor storehouse is guarded by you, Han Di just said that those weapons boxes stacked in the corner, it is impossible for ordinary people to carry weapons from there, is this statement wrong?"

"My Lord, I do not understand what you mean."

Dou (Dou) sneered: "You do not understand? This official asks you, do you know that the weapons stacked in the corner are of inferior quality?"

"I know." Qin Yi did not deny it.

"This official asks you again, Xue Ke Yong found these weapons, is it because of you?" Dou (Dou)'s gaze was sharp, staring straight into Qin Yi's eyes: "Did you deliberately want to let Xue Ke Yong find this batch of inferior weapons and then make it public?"

Xu Lang didn't wait for Qin Yi to speak, already said: "Reply to the Lord of the Ministry, if it wasn't for the intentional action of the Qin magistrate, Xue Ke Yong could not have found these weapons. I was detached by him at that time, wanted to stop it was too late, when asked the people of the A Treasury Department, it was Qin Lin Li took Xue Ke-yong into the warehouse, and intentionally led Xue Ke-yong to find this batch of weapons, he ...... He has sinister intentions, and is intentionally trying to get our military department into a disaster."

Although Qin Yi was Xu Lang's superior, but the east window, Xu Lang knew that his life was also already in danger, and was full of resentment towards Qin Yi.

"Qin Yi, what do you have to say?" Deng Taichu on the side was cold-faced: "Eating the Ministry of War's food, but also smashing the Ministry of War's pot, good for you, a thing that eats inside out."

Qin Yi did not change his face, looked at Dou Mo's eyes, and asked: "Lord of the Ministry, forgive me for being presumptuous, dare to ask the Ministry, the warehouse corner pile of poor quality weapons, the Ministry is aware of?"

Dou (Dou) was stunned, immediately said: "This official ..... Naturally, I do not know. I have never been in charge of Wu De Fang, and I have never been in the armory, so how could I know that there are inferior weapons in there?"

"In that case, the ministry hall also did not know that there would be broken weapons in the warehouse, much less that someone was using substandard as good and storing weapons that were simply unusable within the arsenal?" Qin Yi looked at Dou Mo with a serious face.

Dou Mo said angrily: "Of course this official does not know. If I knew, how could ...... How could I condone it? Naturally, I would have reported the matter to the sage."

"Then does the Squire know?"

Deng Taichu was like having his tail stepped on and said sharply, "Of course I don't know either, Qin Yi, you ..... What nonsense are you talking about."

Qin Yi sighed: "Lord Ministry, I have something to say, but Xu Lang is on the side, so it is not convenient for me to say."

"You ......!" Xu Lang was irritated, but Dou Mo was hesitant and finally ordered, "Xu Lang, you go back first."

Xu Lang had no choice but to retreat.

"Qin Yi, you know there is a problem with the warehouse, but you do not report to us in time, this is negligence.

" Deng Taichu sneered: "You are the official of the A Treasury Department, what crime should you commit if you know about it and do not report it?"

Qin Yi was calm and collected, and asked, "Lord Squire, if I had reported the matter to you at the first time after I discovered it, what would you have done?"

"Of course it is to report to the sage." Deng Taichu said in a deep voice: "To use substandard goods and embezzle military expenses, such a big matter in the sky, of course the Lord of the Ministry and I will not suppress it."

Dou (Dou) also nodded and said, "Since this official is in charge of the Ministry of War, such lawlessness will never be harbored."

"I also believe that the two lords will immediately submit a petition to the sage." Qin Yi sighed: "I did not report it in time because I had a selfish intention."

"Selfishness?"

"I have received great love from the Minister of the Ministry to stay in Kyoto and be reused. Qin Yi said softly, "So my selfishness is to think of being able to protect your Excellency."

Dou (Dou) let out a strange laugh and said, "Qin Yi, you have eaten inside out, assisted Xue Keyong to shake out this matter, put the Ministry of War in the whirlpool, and still dare to say that you want to protect this official? You are just a small magistrate, what can you do to protect this official, this is just a bunch of nonsense."

"Lord Ministry, behind this case of ink embezzlement, who is behind the plot?" Qin Yi did not hurry: "As far as I know, to do such a thing, it is impossible to rely only on the Treasury Department of the Ministry of War, the Department of Military Weapons of the Ministry of Industry, the Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs to check the number of weapons, are all involved."

Dou (Dou) is naturally clear about this, but Qin Yi first arrived, young, but never thought that he can also figure out the advantages and disadvantages, the Ministry of the Lord naturally do not know that behind Qin Yi there is a strategic Gu Baiyi for him to analyze the situation.

"Speak on!" Dou (Dou) looked grave.

"Your Excellency knows better than I do, to be able to mobilize the three ministries to use for him, and also do it quietly, even the Ministry of the Lord can not know, can also see that the person behind the status and tact is absolutely extraordinary." Qin Yi took a step forward, close to Dou Mo some, whispered: "two adults if the matter directly to the sage, the one behind the two adults as a thorn in the flesh, if the two prosecution and denunciation but can not bring him down, then will certainly be harmed, that person will not be able to spare the two."

Deng Taichu glanced at each other, both with a solemn expression.

"If the two lords prosecute, it is likely that they will put themselves in danger." Qin Yi sighed: "If my office told the truth to the two of you, and the two of you do not report and expose, or even suppress the matter, then the situation will be more serious. The case of ink embezzlement may not be known for a while, but it is like a sword hanging overhead, it may come down one day, and as time goes by, if the day comes when the east window is exposed, the two lords will not be able to escape from the guilt. So as long as I report to you the fact that the warehouse has inferior weapons, the two lords will be in a dilemma, no matter how to choose, will be in a dangerous situation."

Dou frowned, "Can you protect us by not telling us?"

"Naturally, it is possible." Qin Yi lightly smiled: "The two lords do not know this matter, that is only natural. Now that the incident has happened, the court is accountable, the minister has just been promoted to be the minister of military affairs, there is not much time left, even if there is a mistake under the military affairs department, but not all of them can be blamed on the minister, the minister is at most only slightly responsible for negligence, no one will think that the minister is also involved in this case of corruption. But if this case continues to be delayed, perhaps three or two years later, people will find out, then the minister will be in charge of the Ministry of War for several years, and someone in the armory has done something without the knowledge of the Ministry, not only will the crime of oversight be heavier, but most importantly, I am afraid that some people will really suspect that the minister has a direct relationship with the case of ink embezzlement."

Dou (Dou) body a tremor, Qin Yi see, softly said: "so this matter not only adults can not know in advance, but also must be uncovered as soon as possible, the current situation, for the two adults is actually the best situation, if delayed, for the two adults in turn is greatly disadvantageous." An arch of the hand, sincerely said: "In order to repay the Ministry of the Lord's kindness, I took the liberty of using Xue Ke-yong to expose this case, if the Lord feels that I did not do the right thing, I am willing to receive punishment!"
