Speaking of the Armory Department, the emperor frowned slightly and said:

"It's not my suspicion, but my people who found that someone in the Arsenal Department had embezzled and deducted silver and rebates in the production of weapons and weapons."

Chen Xiao became serious when he heard this and said:

"This Arsenal Department is related to the national weapons and weapons, and the quality of war. If the Arsenal Department embezzles and does not control the quality of weapons, it will be a big problem!"

The emperor nodded: "I know you guy loves to make trouble. So, let's arrange you to the Ministry of War. Don't always fight with my princes, do serious business in the Ministry of War!"

Chen Xiao was unhappy when he said this and said, "What do you mean to fight with your son? They came to provoke me one by one. What can I do?"

The emperor opened his mouth, speechless for a moment, rolled his eyes and said, "Forget it, I won't talk to you."

Then he looked at a eunuch: "Where is the Ninth Princess? Call me, have a meal, and urge the imperial kitchen to get faster!"

The eunuch left quickly.

Not long after, the Ninth Princess came, so the three of them had a meal together.

During this period, Long Jiuling was quite happy because the Ministry of Rites was indeed choosing the wedding day. Obviously, it was almost certain that Chen Xiao was involved in this matter.

All the meals were very happy.

Finally, Chen Xiao and Long Jiuling went to the Jiutian Palace to chat a lot before leaving!

When I left, I saw the Seventh Prince again.

The seventh prince is now convinced by Chen Xiao and thinks about hugging Chen Xiao's thighs every day.

Although Chen Xiao had no malice towards him, he was also annoyed.

So when he saw him coming, turn around and leave quickly!

After leaving the palace and going to the Ministry of War, he went straight back to his minister's office house.

There are countless documents piled up in it.

He stretched and went over and looked carefully. It was all important documents and materials under the Ministry of War and the Department of the Department.

After taking a quick time to read it, Chen Xiao took it away.

Then he ordered: "Give me some of the projects of the Arsenal Department... to me!"

"yes………"

The little official left quickly!

After a while, he came back and said to Chen Xiao:

"Sir, the doctor of the Arsenal Department said...that this...the accounts have not been approved yet. Now, it is not time for Shangguan to check!"

Chen Xiao frowned: "No verification? Not until Shangguan checks?"

Then his face was slightly gloomy and he said, "I want to check it out, can't it be possible?"

"This... if the Arsenal Department doesn't give it to you, the young one can do nothing!" The minor official was embarrassed!

Chen Xiao snorted coldly, thinking that the Arsenal Department seemed to have some problems.

Then he stood up and said, "That official will take a trip in person!"

As he said that, under the leadership of the minor official, he headed towards the Arsenal.

The Arsenal Department has a special hall on the east side of the Ministry of War for office work!

After Chen Xiao arrived, he stood at the door and looked inside, and saw that the chief of the Arsenal Department, the doctor of the Arsenal Department, was slowly sorting out the accounts!

Chen Xiao walked in and said lightly:

"Dr. of the Arsenal Department, I heard that you don't let me read the account book?"

The doctor of the Arsenal's Department changed slightly. When he saw Chen Xiao, he quickly got up and saluted:

"I have met the adults, sir, I am not allowed to read the account book by my subordinates. The account book is still being approved, and some of the accounts in it are still having problems. After the official has completed the approval, there is no problem. I will give it to you!"

Chen Xiao sneered: "No problem, I still see what it does!"

As soon as these words came out, the doctor of the Arsenal Department was stunned and thought, is this newly appointed Assistant Minister just trying to see the accounts of the Arsenal Department?

There are two problems with the account of the Arsenal Department!

One is that each account has not been approved yet, so the accounts look messy and there will be many things that seem to be problematic.

Second, the account itself has the problem of not being able to approve it.

Because, but the doctor of the Arsenal Department does some tricks and tricks in the account, and the problem is no longer seen if it is confirmed!

The former is a workflow problem and is not serious.

The latter is also a huge problem!

What Chen Xiao wants to see is the latter problem!

The doctor of the Arsenal Department looked at Chen Xiao and said, "This... sir..."

"Stop talking nonsense, take out the accounts!" Chen Xiao spoke without doubt!

"Sir, this unapproved account is very messy..." The doctor of the Arsenal wanted to refuse!

Chen Xiao no longer had much patience and stared at the doctor of the Arsenal and said:

"You don't understand what I said? Take out the accounts. If they are not approved, I will personally approve them!"

"This...this..." The doctor of the Arsenal was still hesitating!

Chen Xiao completely lost his patience, his face was furious, and he scolded: "Bold, why don't you hurry up!"

The doctor of the Arsenal Department looked ugly and had no choice but to take out some accounts, hand them to Chen Xiao with trembling hands.

Chen Xiao snorted, and the small officials behind him turned the account, and then Chen Xiao left!

The doctor of the Arsenal Guard swallowed and said to himself: "This account... you probably can't find the problem... If you really find it..."

He was silent for a while and snorted: "If you really find out, it will be your death date. I dare not do anything to you, but...huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

As he said that, he turned around, returned to his seat, took a pen, and wrote a letter.

He roughly wrote down the matter of Chen Xiao suddenly looking at the accounts of the Arsenal Department!

Then he went out cautiously and asked someone to take a secret message away!

...

After returning to the house where the minister worked, Chen Xiao opened the account!

This is the account of Arsenal's production of weapons, armor and so on this year.

The last year's one has been handed over, but this year's one is still early to the end of the year, so it's just a bookkeeping and there is no even a verification.

Chen Xiao calmed down and began to look at the accounts carefully. From the accounts at the beginning of the year, he looked at them one by one. On the other hand, he recorded the expenses incurred in each account and calculated them according to the month.

I spent the whole afternoon doing this.

After the yamen was released, Chen Xiao even took the accounts home.

These accounts are very important and he will not put them easily in the yamen.

The reason is very simple!

Because I calculated the accounts for two months in one afternoon, I found that many of them were not in line with them.

These accounts are very secretive, and the problems in the accounts are ostensibly filled with other accounts.

Other accounts are filled from other accounts, and the various problems are used to break up the east and west walls. It looks very messy, and it seems that the accounts are very correct.

However, Chen Xiao is a modern person after all. He is going to take time to read the accounts and record them, and pick out the accounts of the records above, which are all broken up and repaired the west walls, and to see if the walls have been repaired.

However, a few days later, he figured it out.

The confusion of dismantling the east wall and repairing the west wall on the account is very good.

However, no wall was filled.

Chen Xiao simply calculated that in the past six months, there were about 10 million taels of silver, which could not be calculated!

He put down the account in shock and said:

"What a great arsenal department. In the past six months, the accounts that have been paid out are more than 10 million taels of silver that cannot match? The key is that these accounts seem to be fine on the surface.

If they waited for their own verification, they would probably not be able to see any clues. But... How dare the doctor of the Arsenal Department embezzled so much? Even the entire Ministry of War would not dare to embezzle so much, right?"
Chapter completed!
