Give you a spring

Guan Yue didn't wake up until noon. After getting up, he searched around in the other courtyard, but he didn't see anyone, but he saw the food packed by Jingzhao in the dining room. Before leaving, Ping Wei and He Zhou only put away their own dishes Take it away, only Guan Yue's bowl and chopsticks are left on the table.

So he went to eat casually, and called the servants to come over to clean up, and began to review what he and Jingzhao learned in the Military Academy last night.

When Ping Wei and He Zhou came to Wanbaotang, there were quite a few people, and it was their turn to go in after waiting for a while.

"What would the guest officer want to eat?" Xiao Er came up to him and asked.

"Hmm..." Ping Wei recalled the dishes that You Buqing said last night, "Do you have spiced smoked fish here?"

"some."

"Let's have one, get some green vegetables, and a duck soup."

"Okay, wait a minute," Xiao Er quickly wrote down the list, brought them to the table, and asked Ping Wei with a little embarrassment, "Do you have a toilet here? I got sick from eating this morning."

Xiao Er was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "Go straight ahead and turn right at the end."

"Okay." Ping Wei said and walked there.

He Zhou stayed where he was, and after the meeting, Xiao Er came over to serve food, but Ping Wei didn't return, so he raised his head and said to the other party, "Sorry, I'll go and see him."

"Okay, you go," Xiao Er nodded.

He Zhou strode forward, and he saw the hut on the right, the teahouse's kitchen on the left five meters apart, and the warehouse in the middle.

After a quick glance, he stepped into the warehouse.

Ping Wei was already waiting there.

"How?" He Zhou walked up to him, "Did you find anything?"

Ping Wei just pretended to go to the latrine, but in fact he wanted to know where the warehouse or back kitchen is. Usually such places are not far from the latrine, so he just found an excuse to tell Xiao Er, lest he find that two guests disappeared .

"Look," Ping Wei pulled him to several boxes, which were full of vegetables.

He Zhou squatted down and looked at the vegetables, they were still very fresh, "So the vegetables shipped from Ningyao are really vegetables?" He looked at Ping Wei.

"Yes," the other party nodded, "but look here."

He turned around and looked to the other side. There was also a row of wooden boxes on the left, which were empty. "Do you want to smell it?" Ping asked softly.

He Zhou sniffed, "Fish smell, and..." He paused, then suddenly looked up at Pingwei, "Huo medicine smell."

"Ah."

He Zhou sniffed all the boxes in front of him one by one. Finally, he found two boxes with the smell of gunpowder and six boxes with the smell of fish, all of which were empty. It was very wet, and some crushed ice could be seen inside—he was wondering if someone used a cargo box containing frozen river fish to cover it up. On the surface, the river fish was transported to Fengdu, but there were actually boxes of fire medicine hidden underneath. .

The people at the city gate said that they had checked the four carriages transported from Ningyao, and they were sure that they contained vegetables, and they had just verified that there were indeed fresh vegetables in Wanbaotang's warehouse, so this batch was once filled with huo How did the medicine boxes come in?

"But didn't Chengmenguan and the black market say that there has been no large-scale cargo transportation recently?" He Zhou asked.

The other party stared at him without blinking, and said in a deep voice, "No, there is still one place we haven't checked."

"where?"

Guan Yue was in the other courtyard reading the letter that had just arrived from Nanling Feige. He communicated with the governor over there, and the other party gave the amount of military supplies received from Fengdu in the past two weeks.

He took out the dossiers he brought out from the Military Weapons Academy last night, compared the ones shipped out from Fengdu with the actual number received by Nanling, and found——

Lord Guan's pupils shrank, and he stood up with a "swipe" after reaching a conclusion. He panicked for a moment, then became uncertain again, and then compared the contents of the two files again.

A quarter of an hour passed, and he finally confirmed the conclusion after two verifications——

The actual military supplies that Nanling received were [-] stone less than the military supplies that Fengdu had transported to them.
