Chapter 325 Talking

Before, Shen Hao risked Tang Qingyuan's jealousy and reminded Tang Qingyuan not to take his current "substitute job" too seriously. The best thing to do is just hang around and keep going with all the inherent errands of Qianhusuo, so that no one will be offended.

At that time, Tang Qingyuan felt really uncomfortable.

It's like when you are still happy because your wife is pregnant, someone comes and says: Don't be happy, the baby in your stomach is not yours.

But Tang Qingyuan is also an old fritter with ups and downs after all. He experienced the peak of his life when he was young and quickly fell to the bottom. He climbed up again by luck and hard work, so he adjusted his mentality very quickly, and he could tell what Shen Hao was actually talking about. Speaking from the heart and without any negative meaning.

Thinking about it carefully, Tang Qingyuan had to admit that he had indeed cut off his official career a long time ago. No one pulled from above, and no one pushed from below. It was thanks to Shen Haoli's great contributions that he was able to be promoted to the position of Deputy Thousand Household before. Coupled with his age and cultivation potential, it is impossible to achieve the fifth rank unless there is a miracle.

Yesterday, a copper bar came down and completely made Tang Qingyuan give up all unrealistic ideas. As Shen Hao said before, the reason why the higher-ups asked him to be the "acting chief officer" was not to favor him, but to force several other A deputy Qianhu stood in line. Because his foundation is shallow, and he is not threatening at all, what should he be if he is not a tool person?

"Who do you think is most likely to take over?"

Shen Hao shook his head: "I don't know about this. But as long as you continue to mess around, don't rely on anyone and don't mess with anyone, when the final result comes out, your life may be better than it is now."

"Oh? How do you say it?"

"No matter who gets to sit in the end, the other competitors will definitely have no good fruit to eat. Those who are lucky and have strong connections may be able to continue living in another thousand households. Those who cannot leave will be suppressed by the newly appointed chief officer. And as you The centrists are the targets of wooing, and it is definitely not a problem to arrange some powerful positions for you."

Tang Qingyuan's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he nodded repeatedly as he recognized Shen Hao's analysis.

After Shen Hao raised his glass and had a drink with Tang Qingyuan, he was also thinking in his heart. He was looking forward to the new Qianhu official taking office. No matter who was sitting on it, after passing Wu Changhe before, this time it would definitely be someone close to Jiang Cheng. It is equivalent to his own people, and the affairs of the Black Flag Battalion should not repeat Wu Changhe's previous fights in the future.

The two said a few words, drank two glasses of wine, turned their heads, and Lianxiang's song had been sung.

Shen Hao didn't listen carefully, but he knew that what he sang just now was one of his lyrics, and then there was applause in the hall. On the one hand, Lianxiang really sang very well and captivatingly, on the other hand, it was Mr. Shen's lyrics, the sound of applause Even when you are young, you will not know how to be a human being.

After singing three songs in a row, Lianxiang said it was a rest and sat beside Shen Hao.

Because today's game is housewarming instead of Huajiu, there is only Lianxiang, a woman present, so Lianxiang did not directly hang on Shen Hao like she did in Hong'en Courtyard, but rather sat upright and congratulated in a proper manner Toasted, and helped walk around the table.

Before leaving, Lianxiang leaned close to Shen Hao's ear and said, "It's my birthday on the eighth day of next month, can you come?"

Shen Hao was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, and then felt a slight tap on his cheek, and saw Lianxiang trotting away with her mouth pursed.

"Master Shen is quite blessed!"

"Brother Shen, quickly strike while the iron is hot!"

"Hahaha"

Those who are brave enough to boo a few words, those who are timid only dare to laugh a few times. But Lianxiang singer is interested in Mr. Shen, and everyone present can still see it, otherwise, before leaving, she will slap her in the face? But what did you say in Mr. Shen's ear at that time? Many people are curious. Could it be that Mr. Shen is going to climb the window at night?

Tsk tsk, but no one dares to ask.

As soon as Lianxiang left, a few people who pretended to be gentle stopped pretending, grabbed the wine jar and started pouring it vigorously. This is in line with Xuanqingwei, a place with heavy military habits, where most people drink like urine. There are not many people like Wang Yiming and Wang Jian who drink lightly. In addition, Wuliangye is regarded as strong alcohol for these guys, and each person will feel dizzy after drinking one catty, and go crazy after two catties.

Finally, at the beginning of the Hai Dynasty, Shen Hao stopped the banquet and changed the tea to sober up these people, and he invited them to the study.

Zhang Qian and Gan Lin came in first. These two people have a good capacity for alcohol, and together they are worse than Shen Hao. At this time, two catties of wine and less than three catties of wine are slightly drunk for them.

"Two big brothers, how is the matter going?" Shen Hao made a cup of tea for each of the two, and then cut off the topic.

"You should keep an eye on it. Here, this is what we found." Zhang Qian took out a copper bar from the storage bag, opened it with his and Gan Lin's waist cards, and handed it to Shen Hao. inside.

Gan Lin introduced at the side: "In order to investigate this, we even used our breastfeeding energy. There are a total of forty-eight storage bags in the Jingxi Army's supply camp. There are thirty-one, and ten of these thirty-one are distributed to various thousands of households. And the record of entry and exit is clear, completely in compliance with the rules. The time of departure is the same as you said on November 30th It doesn’t match the numbers before and after.”

Zhang Qian went on to say: "The remaining twenty-one storage bags are all well kept in the warehouse. However, these twenty-one storage bags have been out of the warehouse around November 30th." According to records, it was out of the warehouse for a total of six days, leaving the warehouse at noon on November 29th, and returning in the afternoon on the fifth day of December. The reason for leaving the warehouse shows that it was taken away by the Department of Magical Artifacts of the Ministry of War for routine maintenance."

"However, we have also been in the main force. Zhang Qian once served as a hundred households in the supply camp of the Jingxi Army. From his experience, the maintenance of the equipment is selected in March and April every year. It has been like this for many years. , it is rare to recall magical artifacts at the end of the year, because everyone is busy with official evaluations at the end of the year, and who cares about maintenance for the people below. So it is very strange."

Shen Hao also saw these records on the copper bar, and then clicked on a line of words on it and asked: "The time can be closed, so you suspect that there is a problem with the flow of the twenty-one storage bags?"

"That's not true. After several meals, I heard the news on the sidelines that the maintenance spot check was just a formality. The hundred household officials in charge said that the effect of maintenance was hardly visible once the bag was taken out and in, which was hasty. I just applied some maintenance grease on the outside, and I didn’t even clean up the lines of the formation. I also complained that it must be a moth made by the people above to deal with the official criticism.”

While listening to Zhang and Gan's introduction, Shen Hao looked at the words on the copper bar word by word, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
