Chapter 11: The Dark Chamber

"Your Majesty, it's time for the court. ”

As soon as he finished signing in, Wei Zhong came in to remind.

Zhou Xiao's eyes lit up.

Isn't this "Wei Zhongxian character template" tailor-made for Wei Zhong?

And the names are so close to each other.

With a move of mind, he took out the "Wei Zhongxian character template" from the system.

"Apply. Zhou Xiao only whispered in his heart.

The next moment, the "Wei Zhongxian Character Template" turned into a streamer and rushed into Wei Zhong's body.

Wei Zhong's body shook violently, and then Wei Zhong's character information appeared in the sign-in system.

Name: Zhong Wei.

Rank: Tianwu Nine Heavens.

Martial arts: King Kong boy skills, snap fingers.

Character profile: Applying the template of Wei Zhongxian in the world of "Chivalrous Bone Danxin", the former superintendent of the East Factory, his hands and eyes are all over the sky.

Looking at Wei Zhong again, the whole person's temperament has changed dramatically.

The most important thing is that the cultivation has directly reached the Heavenly Martial Realm.

It's literally lying down and escalating and soaring into the sky.

Zhou Xiaoxin thought that he could apply a template of the Ancient Emperor or the Ancient Heavenly Emperor?

Directly max level!

However, after thinking carefully about applying the template, the whole person lived in the shadow of another person and lost himself, and Zhou Xiao's heart was a little balanced.

After all, the price paid is not small.

"Let's go. Zhou Xiao only glanced at Wei Zhong and got up and walked towards the Mountain and River Palace.

On the way, Zhou Xiao instructed Wei Zhong, "I need the details of the Dark Pavilion and the whereabouts of Qin Zhan, you must find out to me as soon as possible." ”

"The old slave obeyed. Wei Zhong said.

"There are also materials on the major sects and families, and I will also collect a copy of them. "The situation in Da Zhou is complicated, and the sect family has a lot of strength, Zhou Xiao must know it in his heart.

"Yes. Wei Zhong agreed.

When Zhou Xiao came to the Mountain and River Palace, the civil and military officials were already waiting here.

They whispered about Zhou Xiao's assassination last night.

Seeing Zhou Xiao coming, their discussion suddenly became quieter.

Zhou Xiao climbed the steps along the royal road and sat down on the majestic throne.

The ministers immediately paid their respects.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

"Zhong Aiqing is flat. Zhou Xiao was not angry and arrogant.

After that, the ministers played.

Most of the things that started were trivial matters, and Zhou Xiao fully delegated power to let the ministers handle it themselves.

Zhou Xiao knows that as the king of a country, he must be good at assigning many political affairs to ministers. If you do everything yourself, then the emperor will die of exhaustion.

After the ministers finished playing, Zhou smiled and said, "Geng Zhi." ”

"Wechen is here. The head of the household walked straight out and said respectfully.

"When you mentioned the deficit in the treasury a few days ago, I always remember it. You put together a breakdown of the treasury's revenues and expenditures, and I'll take a look at it. Zhou smiled.

As soon as Zhou Xiao said this,

Many ministers in the court became nervous.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, corruption was rampant.

If it is thoroughly investigated, many people will be involved in the state treasury to some extent.

A cold sweat broke out on his back.

In the household department, the household department is the main position, and the household department squire is the deputy position.

It stands to reason that Zhou Xiao should hand over the details of the treasury to him, the head of the household, but Zhou Xiao handed it over to the head of the household.

He couldn't help but wonder about the holy will.

Can't the emperor trust me?

Qian Chong was panicked for a while, and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the treasury accounts are complicated, and Weichen is willing to assist Lord Geng to sort out the detailed accounts as soon as possible, and I hope the emperor will approve it." ”

"That's right. Zhou Xiao glanced at Qian Zhong and said.

In fact, Zhou Xiao deliberately asked Geng Zhi to submit detailed accounts.

He just wanted to see the reaction of the head of the household.

"Your Majesty, Emperor. "Thank you for your money.

"Zhong Aiqing, do you have anything to do?" Zhou Xiao asked.

No one spoke again.

Zhou Xiao got up, and the eunuch Wei Zhong shouted: "Retreat!"

The officials dispersed.

Geng Zhi and Qian Zhong immediately rushed back to the household department to sort out the accounts.

Every expenditure of the treasury is recorded in detail, and what Geng Zhi and Qian important to do is to make a summary report, so that Zhou Xiao can have a detailed understanding of the situation of the treasury.

Everything went in order.

It was getting late, and when the officials of the household department were almost gone, Qian Zhong closed the door and put an account book in front of Geng Zhi, "I have already sorted out a list of details here, and you will hand this book to the emperor tomorrow." ”

Geng Zhi picked up the account book that Qian had reorganized, opened it and looked at it, and said, "These accounts are obviously wrong. ”

"Master Geng," Qian Zhong circled behind Geng Zhi, and slapped his heavy hand on Geng Zhi's shoulder, "Sometimes you can't be too straight, you have to be a little smoother, and deal with certain details artistically." ”

"Tampering with accounts is a great crime!" Geng Zhi said angrily.

"God knows, you know and I know. Qian Zhong said, "You just have to do what I say, these are your ......"

Qian pointed to a forged account.

It reads a million taels on it.

"Qian Chong! This is a self-theft by the guards!" Geng Zhi wanted to shake off Qian Chong's hand.

However, the gravity of the money was extremely strong, and he pressed Geng Zhi to death.

"Don't pretend to be high. Qian Zhong said, "You should know that this matter is very involved, and it is related to the lives of many ministers in the DPRK and China. In addition, all the money from the deficit in the treasury went into the dark cabinet. Today's Dark Pavilion is controlled by the third prince Qin Zhan, and in the near future, the Great Zhou will still be the world of the Qin family. ”

"Do you know what will happen if you go against the Three Princes and the Dark Pavilion?" Qian Zhong coerced and lured, "If you are stubborn, I'm afraid you won't see the sun tomorrow." ”

Geng Zhi's body trembled slightly.

"It turns out that you helped Qin Zhan empty the treasury!" Geng Zhi said angrily.

"Not bad. Qian Zhong said, "You'd better distinguish the situation and make the right choice." ”

With that, Qian Zhong pushed the forged ledger in front of Geng Zhi.

Left the household.

It took Geng Zhi a long time to calm down, and after carefully comparing the accounts of the two books, the difference reached 30 million taels.

Geng Zhi was appointed by the first emperor to serve as a squire of the household department, and he was extremely loyal to the Great Zhou.

He knew that the accounts were greasy before, but the household department was heavy on the money, and he, the household servant, was reduced to a marginal figure, and he had no chance to check the accounts in detail and thoroughly.

He took a deep breath.

Finally, we continue to sort out the actual account details.

Geng Zhifang hurried home in the middle of the night, but his wife and children were not there.

While searching, a figure suddenly flashed, "Lord Geng, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

The other party was dressed in black, wearing a mask, and carrying a sword.

"Are you from the Dark Chamber?" Geng Zhi asked, "What happened to your wife and children?"

"Hell it's hell. The man said coldly.

"You ......" Geng Zhi trembled with anger.

"It's just that you've been in the household for too long. The man continued, "You didn't leave the household after Lord Qian left, you have already made your choice. ”

"So ......"

Before the words fell, a cold sword light flashed under the night.

And then the blood shot out,

Geng Zhi lay down in a pool of blood.

The assassin of the Dark Pavilion found the accounts he had sorted out from Geng Zhi's corpse, and his palms burst into flames, burning them to ashes......
