Hearing Jun Qingli say this, Xie Jinyu's temples burst into cold sweat: "I am awesome, I am awesome..."

Jun Qingli did not want to condemn him: "In the first half of this year, Zhao sent troops to invade our Chu border, and the army had insufficient food and grass. However, Zhao later paid compensation and made up these vacancy. However, I sent people to check the accounts of the Ning Prince's Mansion these days and found that hundreds of thousands of taels of silver were unknown."

"It just so happened that the total amount of money and grain allocated to Mincheng by the imperial court last year was 3 million taels of silver. I asked Liu Ruiping to check all the books that could be found in the military camp last year and found that there was a vacancies of 300,000 silver. Does General Xie know about these?"

Of course, General Xie knew about it, but because the matter was too big, he was still investigating it, so he hid it.

Xie Jinyu also knew about this, but King Ning could defeat the old general on the frontier. They did not dare to openly challenge King Ning, and the investigation should not be too big. When the court did not discover this matter, they could only leave it alone.

He really didn't expect Jun Qingli to bring up old accounts.

After all, Zhao's compensation this year brought real benefits to Chu, and everyone's eyes were on it. Who would pay more attention to the previous accounts?

Xie Jinyu's clothes were soaked in sweat, and his teeth were clenched, and he was worried about whether to tell Jun Qingli about this.

If he said that, Jun Qingli might think that his father and son were disloyal to the court without reporting it.

If he didn't say it, Jun Qingli would find out the matter in the future, and he might also be asked to blame the father and son of the Xie family.

But Jun Qingli obviously wanted to bite this matter to death on King Ning, so that he could catch him off guard.

No matter what, the Xie family couldn't stay out of it.

Jun Qingli looked at Xie Jinyu meaningfully, and seemed to remind and comfort him, "If General Xie has any hidden secrets, I will not force you. But I hope General Xie can understand that I am not asking anyone for a crime at this time, but I just want someone to help find out who is at the border and between the capital."

He was reminding Xie Jinyu that he had been recalled from afar to help Jun Jiuning and Jun Qingli obtain military power in the capital.

The big rock hanging in Xie Jinyu's heart fell a little, and he truthfully reported the previous mistake in the military's accounting to Jun Qingli.

"It's not that I intentionally concealed the border generals and had enough money. My Xie family had no way to get involved in the accounts in the army. Later, King Ning was recalled to Beijing, and the generals under my father took over the post. 300,000 taels disappeared. My father could not bear this responsibility. What's more, King Ning had just lost his daughter in the capital at that time. If the emperor wanted to ask for guilt, he would probably have to give an explanation to the generals of Mincheng."

Xie Jinyu knelt on one knee and lowered his head deeply: "It was a big mistake made by the ministers and others, but my father thought that even if he reported this matter directly to the court, he would alarm the enemy. Therefore, we have been chasing the place where the money was going, and we just wanted to pay the merits and punish them, and then return to Beijing to apologize."

Jun Qingli went down to help him up in person. Looking at Xie Jinyu's moving expression, he patted him hard on the other party's shoulder: "The Xie family has been loyal for generations, I believe in you and the old general Xie."

"It's just that Gu needs a reason now that the court has suspicious of King Ning, so that he can tear a hole and investigate the truth hidden deep below."

"And this military pay is the best reason."

The next day at the court meeting, Xie Jinyu mentioned in front of the court officials that there was no trace of the military pay allocated by the court last year.

Emperor Wen was furious and questioned Xie Jinyu on the spot: "Why didn't you report such a major event earlier!"

Although Xie Jinyu was respectful and had a look of guilt on his face, his words were neither humble nor arrogant: "When you go back to your Majesty, General Xie only took over the military accounts this year. Moreover, after fighting with Zhao State before, the military accounts were in chaos, and Deputy General Liu Ruiping rebelled out of the army again, which led to some of the accounts he handled being even more false. General Xie has been working on military affairs these days and found this gap. After careful investigation, he found that the 300,000 taels of silver was missing in the accounts last year."

Speaking of this, Xie Jinyu looked in the direction of King Ning intentionally or unintentionally in front of the court officials.

His meaning is self-evident.

Emperor Wen took a heavy photo of the Minister of War where is there!"

Two officials rushed out of the team.

"I ordered you to cooperate with General Xie and get the 300,000 taels of silver back within one month!"

After going down the court, King Ning walked out of Zhengtai Hall with a dark face as if it were a pot.

Before leaving the palace gate, he happened to face Xie Jinyu and cut the other party hard: "General Xie, don't be fine. Once I leave, you have been promoted from the deputy general. It's really impressive! It's just that when something big happened in the military camp, why didn't the young general say anything to me?"

He was angry. Today, Xie Jinyu's words meant, as long as he was not a fool, he could hear it: this account had a problem last year. Isn't this just telling everyone that he had done his tricks and removed the 300,000 taels of silver?

Moreover, if the Xie family has been under him for so many years, and such a big thing happened, if you don’t have a vent to him first, wouldn’t it be obvious that you would give him eye drops in front of the emperor?

So when facing Xie Jinyu, he was naturally arrogant and had no good tone.

Xie Jinyu was not angry, but just smiled and said, "Prince, I am the only one who can be blessed today. The Xie family dare not forget their roots. But this military pay is too much involved. Before reporting to the emperor, I really dare not disclose the news, for fear of alarming the enemy and making those who are not clean and defensive, so it is difficult to investigate."

"But the prince is a man, I know it very well! The prince is honest and does his best. This matter has nothing to do with the prince. Please be relieved."

After hearing Xie Jinyu say this, Ning Wang snorted coldly: "That's the trouble for General Xie."

After saying that, he left with disdain, never glanced at Xie Jinyu for a long time.

As soon as King Ning returned to his mansion, he shouted anxiously: "Come here, where is the concubine!"

The maid who was serving at the door replied, "Report to the prince, the concubine did not go out today, and was embroidering in the room, saying that she wanted to make winter clothes for the prince."

As soon as she finished speaking, a cold wind blew, and the red maple in the yard suddenly fell off many dead leaves.

King Ning had originally opened his face, but when he heard this, his expression suddenly eased a lot: "My wife is still careful, remembering that it is cold and winter is coming."

While walking into the deep courtyard, he ordered his followers, "Tell someone to keep their mouths closed, don't let that guy Xie Jinyu take advantage of the loophole and put a hat on me!"

The attendant followed King Ning for many years and took the order and turned around and went to do it.
