Early the next morning, as soon as Zhou Xiao woke up, Wei Zhong came in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, it's not good. Wei Zhong said in a somewhat feminine voice.

Zhou Xiao changed into a dragon robe under the service of the eunuch, and said, "Say." ”

"Geng Zhi, his wife and children were all killed last night. Wei Zhong said.

Zhou Xiao frowned slightly.

Yesterday, he ordered Geng Zhi to sort out the accounts, and he was killed today.

Zhou Xiao naturally sensed the strangeness.

"What did the money do?" asked Zhou Xiao.

"There is no conclusive evidence. Wei Zhong said, "But according to my investigation, Qian Zhong stayed alone with Geng Zhi in the household department yesterday. Soon after, Qian Zhong left, but Geng Zhi left the household late at night......"

Zhou Xiao nodded, "Give me a careful look at Qian Zhong." ”

"Yes. ”

"How is the information collected in the Dark Pavilion?" Zhou Xiao asked.

"The dark pavilion involves the court, the rivers and lakes, and many sects and families are involved, and the information collected now is superficial, and it doesn't explain anything. However, there are also windfalls. Wei Zhong said.

Zhou Xiao suddenly became interested, "What?"

"Recently, there have been frequent activities in the Dark Pavilion, I am afraid that because of Qin Qiang's death, they want to be unfavorable to the royal family. Wei Zhong said.

Zhou Xiao thought for a moment, "Is there Qin Zhan's whereabouts?"

"Qin Zhan hasn't shown up yet. Wei Zhong said.

"I know. ”

After that, Zhou Xiao walked to the window, "Wei Zhong, you go in person and thoroughly check the accounts of the treasury!"

Early dynasty as usual.

Zhou Xiao didn't say a word about Geng Zhi's death, which made Qian Zhong a little unpredictable about Zhou Xiao's thoughts.

"The money is heavy, and the treasury accounts will be shown to me. Zhou Xiao said.

Qian Zhongzhong's head shook, and for some reason his heart suddenly became heavy, and he submitted the forged accounts.

Zhou Xiao flipped through the pages one by one.

Qian Chong stood quietly in the center of the court, and for some reason there was an inexplicable nervousness.

The Temple of Mountains and Rivers fell silent.

I could only hear the sound of Zhou Xiao looking through the accounts.

The sorted accounts are not very thick, but Zhou Xiao looks at them very slowly.

Before I knew it, an hour had passed.

The receipts and expenditures in these accounts are carefully and beautifully done, and there are not too many huge expenditures, but the bits and pieces add up to a terrible number.

The slower Zhou Xiao looked, the more he didn't speak, and the more bottomless Qian Chong's heart became.

Zhou Xiao closed the account for a long time and handed it to the eunuch on the side, "Master Qian has made the account very detailed and beautiful. ”

Hearing Zhou Xiao's appreciation, Qian Zhong did not breathe a sigh of relief, but felt a sigh in his heart.

Lord Money?

Zhou Xiao actually called him Master Qian.

Qian Zhong was terrified for a while.

Before he could speak, Zhou smiled: "The only thing that is not perfect is that it is too perfect......"

Qian Chong suddenly felt bad.

Could it be that the emperor has found the clue?

"In managing the accounts of the state treasury, the household department should strive for perfection. Qian Chong's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he said seriously.

"Really?" Zhou Xiao said lightly: "I have sent someone to reorganize the accounts, I hope Lord Qian's accounts can be matched with them." ”

"Come, give me a seat. ”

As soon as Zhou's joke fell, someone suddenly brought chairs for every official.

"Please be seated. Zhou said with a smile: "The treasury is the foundation of the country, and if the treasury accounts are not implemented today, we will not retreat." ”

For a while, the Mountain and River Hall was quiet.

Qian Chong's face changed and changed.

After killing Geng Zhi yesterday, he flipped through the accounts that Geng Zhi had sorted out.

Among them, the figures of unknown expenditures are huge, and the names of several high-ranking officials are not trivial.

Qian Zhong quietly repatriated and destroyed some of the huge accounts, but unfortunately the time was too hasty, and the patrols at night were extremely tight, and there were still many accounts that were too late to deal with until the early dynasty.

Zhou Xiao is now sending someone to investigate,

Check one accurately!

Beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

Now that Zhou Xiao is not retreating, Qian Chongzong has many means to no avail......

After the civil and military officials sat down, Zhou Xiao closed his eyes and recuperated.

I woke up today and got the bad news that Geng Zhi was killed, and I haven't had time to sign in yet.

consciousness sinks,

"Successful sign-in, congratulations on getting Yida chewing gum. ”

Zhou's smile darkened suddenly......

"System, are you doing it?" Zhou Xiao was a little dissatisfied.

System: "The check-in reward is a random reward, please correct your mentality." ”

Zhou Xiao: "......"

Well, such an explanation is acceptable to Zhou Xiao.

If you prescribe something against the sky every day, this system will really be a bit against the sky.

Minutes tick by.

It wasn't until night fell quietly that Wei Zhongfang hurried to the Mountain and River Hall with the sorted accounts.

"Your Majesty, please take a look. Wei Zhongyin judo.

Zhou Xiao took it and opened it, and suddenly his heart was not good.

The comparison between the accounts compiled by Wei Zhong and the accounts reorganized by Qian is astonishingly large.

Among them, in terms of tax income, Wei Zhong's account is 50 million taels more......

These details are not in Wei Zhong's accounts.

Obviously, all this money is flowing out through other channels.

Wei Zhong sorted it out in great detail, and the whereabouts of the 50 million taels were clearly written in the back.

30 million taels flowed into the Chengtian Sect.

Ten million taels flowed into Wei Zhong's own pocket.

Another 10 million taels went into the hands of the other three officials in the court.

Because the accounts were partially destroyed by the money.

So I'm afraid the real amount will have to be doubled on this basis......

"Aiqing, take a look. Zhou Xiao handed Wei Zhong the accounts sorted out by Wei Zhong and sent them to the ministers to circulate them one by one.

For a while, the ministers whispered.

And several officials whose names appeared in the accounts were terrified.

"Qian Chong, how do you say this?" Zhou Xiao suddenly became angry, and no divine power enveloped the court.

The ministers were terrified.

Now that the evidence is ironclad, Qian Zhong knows that he can't quibble, the whole person suddenly became hideous, a dagger slipped out of the sleeve robe, and then the soles of his feet slammed on the ground, and the whole person rushed towards Zhou Xiao to kill.

Shoot hard!

Take Zhou Xiao straight to the point.

Seeing that the dagger was about to stab Zhou Xiao, Wei Zhong on the side suddenly made a move, and his magic power exploded.

Burst!

A brilliant golden light shot through the weight of the money.

Qian weighed as if he was hit by a huge force, and his body suddenly flew upside down and fell to the ground with a bang.

After that, the guards poured out from both sides and directly arrested the money.

Zhou Xiao's heart was pounding.

Mom,

When you are an emperor, you walk on the tip of a knife every day!

There are always bad people who want to harm me!

"Your Majesty, what should you do with the money?" Wei Zhong asked.

"Press into the heavenly prison!" Zhou Xiao's eyes were sharp, "Punish the three clans!"

Zhou Xiao didn't plan to kill Wei Zhong easily.

Wei Zhong is likely to have something to do with the Dark Pavilion, after all, 30 million taels have flowed into the Chengtian Sect, and this matter must be thoroughly investigated......

Hearing the three clans, the other three ministers who had an affair knelt on the court like dogs.

"The ministers were confused for a while, and asked the emperor to give him a chance to mend his ways. ”

"The minister pleaded guilty!"

However, Zhou Xiao didn't look at them, "Pull it down, cut it!"

Suddenly the guards rushed up,

Pulled the three ministers out.

The three ministers shouted for mercy, but Zhou Xiao had no intention of changing his mind.

We must make an example of the chickens and monkeys,

In this way, we can establish the rules of the court!
