Chapter 309 Broken Head Ridge 8
When he heard that there was an underground warehouse, Shang Zhanchen's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
"Go over and take a look."
Everyone then followed the secret guard and turned back, and also came to a secluded place, and found a big door.
It was now open, and it led to the underground. The few of them did not hesitate and walked in quickly.
This cave must be at least ten meters high and has traces of being chiseled, so it was obviously carved out by humans.
Everyone was shocked when they saw the neatly stacked sacks inside.
"Is this all food?" Shen Yiyi was the first to rush forward.
He pointed to the neatly arranged sacks in front of him. They were all bulging and it seemed like they were filled with food.
"Miss Shen, these are all filled with rice." One of the secret guards pointed to the open grain bag.
Everyone looked over and was shocked once again when they saw crystal clear rice in the bag.
"Are these all rice?" Shang Zhanchen pointed to the sacks in front of him.
If all this is rice, I dare not even think about how many kilograms of grain that would be.
"General Huizhan, our subordinates have checked and found that it is filled with rice." The secret guard also looked excited.
With these foods, the soldiers will never go hungry again. Even Shang Zhanchen thought so.
Looking at the mountains of food in front of him, excitement appeared on his usually calm face.
"Send a letter to General Su and ask him to send someone to transport the food."
There is not much food left in the military camp, and I was thinking about where to buy some more. Now I have these foods.
Not only do they no longer have to buy food at expensive prices outside, the soldiers will not go hungry, and they no longer have to eat porridge.
"Yes." Jiang You agreed.
He ran out excitedly, not expecting such a big harvest this time. Even Shen Yiyi thought so too.
Looking at the pile of sacks in front of him that was as high as a mountain, his mouth opened in surprise.
"Is everyone able to eat their fill this time?" He looked at Shang Zhanchen.
Although I have no idea about food, seeing so much of it, I think everyone should be able to fill their stomachs.
"Yeah." Shang Zhanchen nodded and pinched Shen Yiyi's little face lovingly.
"This is all your fault."
If she hadn't made this suggestion, they wouldn't have come here. Now that they have money and food, it really solves a big problem.
“Hehe…” Shen Yiyi grinned.
But soon, the smile disappeared, and seeing General Zhan staring at her, her face turned red.
"This is everyone's credit." He quickly turned around.
She didn't dare to meet Shang Zhanchen's eyes. When she thought of what he had just said to her, her face became even redder.
Seeing that the woman was shy, Shang Zhanchen felt much better and immediately grabbed her hand.
"Let's get out!"
Although the confession was unsuccessful, at least she knew my feelings, which was a little progress.
Seeing that her hand was being held, Shen Yiyi wanted to pull it back, but she was not as strong as the man.
After trying a few times, I gave up, but I have to admit that it was quite comfortable to be held by him.
"Where is Old Sun?" When he came outside, he remembered his old apprentice and hadn't seen him for a long time.
"He who was here just now must have gone back inside." One of the secret guards pointed to the house where the bandits lived.
Just now, Doctor Sun found a lot of medicinal herbs from inside. I think he must have gone in to search again now.
Following the direction of his finger, Shen Yiyi was about to go in when Doctor Sun ran out with his mouth wide open.
"Hahaha...there are quite a lot of good things here."
Seeing Old Sun coming out carrying a big bag, Shen Yiyi pointed at him curiously.
"What are you carrying here?"
This guy is so happy, it feels like there must be good stuff inside.
"Master, these are all rare medicinal herbs." Shen Yiyi patted her bag proudly.
I didn't expect that this rough guy was so knowledgeable and had stored so many rare medicinal herbs, all of which were more than a hundred years old.
Fortunately, I looked for it myself, otherwise I would have missed it. It seems that I remembered something.
He took out a stack of letters from his arms and stuffed them into Shang Zhanchen's hand.
"I found this by accident. It should be useful to you."
“…………”Shang Zhanchen frowned.
After glancing at Doctor Sun, his eyes fell on the letter in his hand. There was no signature, so he didn't know who it was written to.
He pulled out a piece of letter paper and opened it. When he saw the contents inside, his face suddenly turned cold.
Then, he started reading one letter after another. The more he read, the worse his expression became, and finally he became furious.
"How can this be!" He was shaking with anger, holding the letter in his hand, and there was a cold light in his eyes.
"........."
No wonder this mountain stronghold hid so much gold and grain. It turned out that they belonged to the Right Prime Minister He Yuan, and this was his storage warehouse.
What made him most angry was that the grain was actually going to be transported to Tiansheng Kingdom, and now the soldiers were starving.
He actually sold grain to Tiansheng Kingdom, allowing them to have their fill, and then turned around to attack Dashang. How is this different from treason?
No wonder the number of grain traders has decreased significantly in the past two years. It turns out that they were all robbed by them.
Just look at the food in the cave. Who knows how many food teams were robbed and how many lives were lost.
Seeing their master so angry, Jiang Zuo and Jiang You looked at each other.
"........."
He hurriedly took the letter from Shang Zhanchen, and when he saw the contents, his face turned cold.
"It's indeed the thief Sun!" Jiang You clenched his back teeth.
He poisoned his master in the palace, robbed and killed his master outside, and now he is robbing a caravan and selling the grain to Tiansheng Kingdom.
Prime Minister He was truly vicious to the extreme. He looked at them with his eyes wide open with anger.
Shen Yiyi also took the letter in her hand and read it with a frown.
"Who is He Xiang?"
It is really immoral to sell food to the enemy country.
"Don't you know who Prime Minister He is?" Shang Zhanchen looked at Shen Yiyi.
His father was the left prime minister and He Yuan was the right prime minister. Even if she was a young lady who never left the house, she should not have been unaware of this.
Even Jiang Zuo and Jiang You looked over here.
"........."
There was almost no one in the Shang Kingdom who didn't know who the Left Prime Minister and the Right Prime Minister were, but the Crown Princess didn't even know who the Right Prime Minister was.
He's her father's mortal enemy, this shouldn't be possible.
Seeing that they were all looking at her suspiciously, Shen Yiyi quickly began searching the original owner's memory, and fortunately she found it quickly.
"Oh, it's He Yuan. He fooled me!" She smiled awkwardly.
I just remembered that the Right Prime Minister was the mortal enemy of the original owner's father.
Shang Zhanchen glanced at Shen Yiyi, obviously not believing what she said, but didn't ask anything.
His attention was mainly focused on the food and gold in the cave, and he turned to look at Jiang You.
"Have all the rooms in the cave searched."
Since we have this letter, there might be other evidence. If we can find evidence to overthrow the right prime minister, it will definitely eliminate a major hidden danger for the court.
