Chapter 158 There Is A Mole, Terminate The Transaction!
Prime Minister's Office.
Nangong Jue looked furious and slapped the wooden table with his right hand, "This Prince Zhuang is really mad at me. Isn't it because of Da Zhou's consideration? This guy actually slapped a hat on my head."
"Dazhou's treasury is now in short supply and there are not enough successors. Isn't it true that I am worried about the situation of Dazhou, so I hope that the Northern Expedition will be postponed for a while."
Seeing the angry look on his grandfather's face, Nangong Yue sat nearby and didn't dare to answer.
When she came here today, she originally planned to tell her grandfather about the gold and silver stolen from Xiankeju.
But looking at the other party's mood now, it seems inappropriate to speak. Besides, this bastard King Zhuang stole this gold and silver.
No, it should have been stolen!
Even though she saw that the gold and silver belonged to Xiankeju, the other party had no intention of returning it to her.
Acting extremely domineering and rampant!
I don't know how long it took for Nangong Jue to calm down a little. He slowly looked at Nangong Yue beside him and said, "Yue'er, why are you here today? Do you have something to tell grandpa?"
Nangong Yue was stunned for a moment, then forced a smile on his face, "It's nothing, I just haven't been back for a long time and I want to come back to see grandpa."
Hearing that Yue'er had made a special trip to see him, Nangong Jue quickly showed a smile of relief and asked with concern: "How are you staying at Prince Yun's Mansion during this time? Has the other party bullied you? If you have anything to say, just tell grandpa. Say, grandpa supports you."
He has two granddaughters, the eldest granddaughter Nangong Zhu and the youngest granddaughter Nangong Yue. But since he was a child, he has only doted on this little granddaughter.
In the eyes of outsiders, Nangong Yue was smart and beautiful, so she was valued by the prime minister.
But only he knows that the reason why he loves this little granddaughter so much is because she is his daughter.
But he couldn't recognize the love between father and daughter, so he could only care for and protect each other in another way.
"That's not true. Your Highness and I get along very well without too many arguments."
Nangong Yue said with a smile, hoping that grandpa could relax.
Her family atmosphere is not good.
My mother has been depressed all year round and rarely goes anywhere except her bedroom.
He also never talks to the people around him.
Even if her daughter went to say hello, the other party would only say a few words.
As for his father, he stayed drunk in a brothel all year round and rarely came home.
Nangong Yue only thought that the other party was dead.
Therefore, since she was born, the only person who has given her care is Nangong Jue. Although he is sometimes fierce, Nangong Yue still respects this elder.
At this time, Nangong Yue asked again: "Grandpa, I just heard you mention the Northern Expedition. Is the Zhou Dynasty preparing to send troops to attack Mobei?"
As soon as he heard the word "Northern Expedition", Nangong Jue's face suddenly turned cold again, "That's right, I really don't know where this guy Prince Zhuang got the confidence to attack if he says to attack! If he is not Mobei's opponent by then, I don't think he will How to explain to His Majesty!"
Nangong Yue frowned and did not continue to reply.
She had learned the news before that King Zhuang secretly asked the concubine from the Duke's Mansion to help him collect grain. Maybe the other party had already planned to fight Mobei.
Another point is that Xianjuju’s gold and silver were stolen.
Except for grandpa, myself, uncle, and only a few close confidants in this place, it is impossible for Prince Zhuang to know this information. In other words, there must be a spy in the prime minister's house.
My grandfather and I first ruled out that the uncle was his grandfather's son and it was impossible to inform him. In other words, this mole was probably someone in the house who was a trusted confidant of his grandfather.
The gold and silver stolen from Xiankeju were probably used by the other party to purchase food and supplies.
After thinking for a moment, Nangong Yue asked curiously: "Grandpa, who is the leader of this Northern Expedition?"
Nangong Jue shouted: "Who else can we fight? This time we are fighting Mobei. The opponent has millions of soldiers. Only Zhao Tai has the courage to make the Northern Expedition. Other generals would not have the courage."
"Will Prince Zhuang go then? Didn't he kill the eldest prince of Mobei not long ago?"
Nangong Jue shook his head, "Prince Zhuang is a very sinister person. He won't do such a thankless job. He cares about his life very much."
Nangong Yue nodded in agreement.
The other party is indeed insidious and cunning, otherwise the other party would not steal her gold and silver from Xiankeju.
However, the Northern Expedition was a state matter after all, and it was not something she, a woman, could interfere with.
I mentioned it just now out of pure curiosity.
Of course, whether Prince Zhuang goes or not has little to do with her. What she should consider now is to give her grandfather a warning and ask him to check the people in the house and find out the mole who leaked the information.
After thinking briefly for a few seconds, Nangong Yue said: "Grandpa, do you still remember the last hunting?"
Nangong Jue was a little confused, "What's wrong?"
Nangong Yue added: "We did not leak any information before the hunt started. Although His Highness and the uncle walked with Prince Zhuang on the way, they did not expose any mistakes. In this case, when His Highness and the uncle surrounded and killed the third prince of Mobei, When the time comes, Prince Zhuang can appear in time?"
Nangong Jue frowned, "Yue'er, what do you mean by this? Grandpa doesn't quite understand."
"Grandpa, I think we should check the people in the house. I suspect that there is a spy in the house who has been bribed by Prince Zhuang, so the other party will know our every move."
Nangong Yue did not mention the theft of gold and silver, because grandpa is in a bad mood now. If his own belongings were stolen, and this person was still the king of Zhuang, his mentality would probably be unbearable, and he might even Go to Prince Zhuang's Mansion to argue with the other party.
By talking about hunting, I hope to remind grandpa.
Sure enough, after Nangong Yue's explanation, Nangong Jue couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
It is indeed possible.
No matter how careful King Zhuang is, he can't see their plan at a glance, and then there will be a mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind.
The other party's behavior seemed to have been expected.
But they were the only ones who knew about the hunting.
King Yun and King Zhuang are competitors and rivals, so it is impossible for them to leak the secret.
The boss Nangong Qian almost lost his head because of this matter.
Yue'er is even less likely.
If there is a mole, it is likely to be the confidants of the Prime Minister's Mansion and Prince Yun's Mansion.
After thinking for a moment, Nangong Jue nodded, "Yue'er, what you said makes sense. I will check on the people in the house during this period. But you can also ask King Yun to check on Prince Yun's house. Don't let anyone get involved. Dirty people.”
"Yeah." Nangong Yue responded.
Although her grandfather had good intentions when he made her a subordinate of Prince Yun's Mansion, she knew that the traitor must be in the Prime Minister's Mansion, otherwise the gold and silver in Xiankeju would not be lost.
