Chapter 1683 It’s so Hateful

"Go in." Yun Dai whispered and entered the warehouse with Baoxing.

The warehouse was very large, filled with bags of grain and baskets of charcoal.

The official who entered at the beginning was dozing off on his chair. Bao Xing went over and knocked him out easily.

"Baoxing, look for the account book."

The two men searched around the warehouse and finally found the account book on the table in a small room behind the warehouse.

Yun Dai flipped through it, and it clearly recorded the quantity of grain, herbs, charcoal and other materials that the imperial court had shipped to Saibei during this period.

She roughly calculated it, and it was quite different from what Zhao Yuanjing told her in the letter.

This batch of materials was transported thousands of miles and passed through many hands. Each time they passed through, they were stripped down a layer. Only 20 to 30% of what was finally delivered here was left.

Just this pitiful 20 to 30% of the supplies were detained in Lanye City, and they were only willing to give a little to the front line at a time.

This little thing is simply a drop in the bucket for the 100,000 troops on the front line.

Yun Dai looked at the numbers on the ledger and was so angry that she could hardly breathe.

The soldiers on the front line died at the hands of the enemy on the battlefield, that's all. The most unacceptable thing is that they survived the sword of their enemies, only to be killed by their own compatriots.

The most annoying thing is that with the prestige and status of King Qin, even with the voucher written by him, he can't receive the supplies immediately.

These daring bastards are so hateful.

Yun Dai's nose felt sore as she thought about how she saw many soldiers who did not have enough clothes or charcoal fire to keep out the cold, and who wrapped their whole bodies in hay at night.

She closed the account book, handed it to Baoxing, and said, "Take this, this is evidence."

Baoxing simply put away all the ledgers.

"Master, what should we do now?" Bao Xing asked, "All these supplies are piled up here, and they can't escape. Can we ask someone to come and transport them to Liangcheng after dawn?"

"It must be dawn to transport things, but we have to be careful now."

"What to guard against?"

"To prevent anyone from jumping over the wall in a hurry." Yun Dai said softly, "We visited the granary at night, knocked out the official, and took away the account book. I think we will find out soon."

"Then, kill me?"

"It's not necessary." Yun Dai shook her head, "I mean, this embezzlement of military supplies cannot be something that a warehouse manager would have the courage to do. There are many things involved here, and maybe there is also the intention of the local chief envoy. "

"These dog officials!" Bao Xing cursed angrily, "Master, I really want to catch those corrupt officials now!"

Yun Dai said: "I think more than you do. But this is their territory after all, and we are weak. What if they burn this granary down while we are away?"

Baoxing frowned: "They... don't dare, right?"

"Why don't you dare? Destroy the evidence and settle the matter once and for all. No matter how much you check, there's nothing you can do." Yun Dai said word by word, "What's more, they know we are here, took away the account books, and know that we live in Where. Will our inn be burned down?"

Baoxing took a breath: "Do they have such courage? Dare to harm the master?"

"People die for money, and birds die for food. For money, for power... to protect prosperity, you can't even imagine how vicious and crazy a person can be."

Baoxing couldn't help but feel anxious and even wanted to put the account book back.

He was not afraid of death, but worried about his empress' safety.
