Xiao Lingyue knew very well that an unknown fire was getting stronger and stronger.
"Ahem..."
The prince couldn't stand it anymore, coughed twice, turned to Zhan Beihan and said: "Third brother, the county master is saluting you, it's time for you to wake up, right?"
Didn't you see the sweat on her head? What kind of anger is this?
The prince really didn't understand.
Zhan Bei said coldly: "She saluted her, what does it have to do with Brother Huang?"
"Isn't this..." Can I find a step for you to get off?
The prince hasn't finished speaking yet.
Zhan Beihan added mockingly: "Those who don't know better would think that the emperor loves her!"
The prince suddenly choked: "..."
Can I still have this younger brother?
I kindly gave you a step but you didn't want it, and then you stabbed your own brother in the back?
It really makes people angry. It depends on whether you have a headache or brother, I have a headache!
The prince rolled his eyes secretly: "I came to see the Lord of Anping County for business. You should still remember the mission my father gave me, right?"
So, if you want to lose your temper, you two should do it behind closed doors!
Not in front of him.
Looking upset can easily bring disaster to innocent people.
"Huh." Zhan Beihan snorted when he heard this, and then said coldly: "Get up!"
Xiao Lingyue stood up and stood there without moving.
The prince said: "Shen Wan, please ignore him, he has such a bad temper! Let's sit down and talk."
Xiao Lingyue glanced at Zhan Beihan and saw that he had a cold expression and did not refute, so she sat down on a chair nearby.
"You should know the reason why I came here today, right?" the prince asked.
Xiao Lingyue nodded: "I probably guessed it."
"Then I won't beat around the bush."
The prince said straight to the point: "My father handed over the thorough investigation of the Ministry of Industry to me, and asked you to assist me. I should have come here long ago, but I remembered what you said in the south study, so I took some time.
I checked the records of the Ministry of Industry’s external transportation of wood and stone raw materials over the years.”
When it came to business, Xiao Lingyue's expression became serious.
She asked: "Have you found anything?"
"Yes!" the prince said bluntly, "After checking the records, I found that in recent years, the Ministry of Industry has transported the most wood and stone raw materials to two places.
One is the Qianfoshan Royal Villa which is under renovation.
The other one is the imperial mausoleum!
These two places are large projects that require long-term transportation of large quantities of logs and stones, and the Ministry of Works is fully responsible.
The Ministry of Industry has to deliver goods every half month. The quantity is large, the regularity is stable, and it lasts for a long time.
In addition, there are some ongoing construction and repair projects in the records of the Ministry of Industry, but the wood and stone raw materials sent there are not as much as these two places, and the pattern is not stable.
According to what you said in the South Study Room, I will focus on these two areas first."
Said.
The prince then pushed two stacks of things as thick as account books on the table: "These are the records of the Ministry of Industry's transportation of wood and stone in the past few years. You can take a look first."
Xiao Lingyue was not polite when she heard this. She reached out to take it and opened it to take a look.
It is indeed something like a ledger inside.
How much wood and stone was shipped from the warehouse on a certain day of a certain year, a certain month, who was responsible for transporting it, where it was sent, how long it took, and finally who was responsible for receiving and counting...
Every item is recorded in the book, densely packed and very detailed.
Xiao Lingyue quickly browsed through it.
Of these two record books, I remember one contains materials from the Royal Courtyard, and the other contains information from the Imperial Mausoleum.
Because they are two different projects, in order to avoid confusion, the Ministry of Engineering specially records them separately for easy viewing. This chapter has been completed!
