Chapter 24: Puzzled

Zhu Changluo listened to Zhu Hao's words, and hurriedly asked with concern: "Youzhen, if you feel tired, don't follow Gongsun Ce!" The gold medal that the father gave Gongsun Ce to walk in the palace is it, you are not injured yet, just stay in the palace to recuperate! Don't let your father and your mother worry! ”

Zhu Hao listened to his father's words, and his heart was very moved, but he couldn't watch Gongsun Ce, who he had worked so hard to summon, just leave him, no matter what, he had to contribute to this matter, thinking like this, Zhu Hao said: "Father doesn't have to worry about his son, his son wants to share his father's worries!" ”

After speaking, he looked up at Tianliang and was silent for a long time, restoring his autistic teenager's proper state, Zhu Changluo was even more distressed when he saw this, and looked down at Zhu Hao worriedly, only to find that Zhu Hao was carried by a stretcher, and then he was furious and said: "Which bastard slave carried the fifth prince on a stretcher?" What an unforgivable sin! Someone pulled these two dog minions out and cut them down! ”

According to Zhu Hao's fact that he was carried over on a stretcher, combined with Zhu Hao's excuse just now that he was physically and mentally tired, Zhu Changluo decided in his heart that it was because of the bad luck of the stretcher that Zhu Hao had such a reaction, and he was naturally angry.

Seeing this, Zhu Hao knew that he couldn't just let his father unjustly kill these two chamberlains, so he spoke again: "Father, it was the son's inconvenience that allowed these two chamberlains to carry the son-in-law over on a stretcher, it has nothing to do with them, and I ask my father to forgive me!" ”

After finishing speaking, Zhu Hao returned to the appearance of an atopic teenager with a wooden expression and looked up at the sky, Zhu Changluo heard that his beloved son was heartfelt, and he didn't care whether it was in line with the etiquette or not, so he directly ordered: "Give my step to the five princes by the inspection, and at the same time let the utensils bureau build another step for me!" ”

After finishing the order, he looked at Gongsun Ce and said, "What is the matter with you bringing the five princes to find me?" Is there already a clue? ”

When Gongsun Ce heard this, he confessed that he had not found a clue, and then told Zhu Changluo about wanting to check the amount of kerosene in the treasurer, and Zhu Changluo nodded directly when he heard this: "This matter is accurate!" Go and check the accounts and quantities of kerosene in the treasurer! As he spoke, he glanced at Zhu Hao, who had been carried up to the Son of Heaven, and then said to Gongsun Ce again: "The injuries on the fifth prince's body have not healed yet, this time I will go out with you to handle the case, it is indispensable to run back and forth, you must take care of him for me, if he has any injuries, I will definitely ask you!" ”

Gongsun Ce hurriedly received the order and said yes, and then the group came to the treasurer and entered the treasurer, and the treasurer official saw Gongsun Ce coming again, his face was full of a mocking smile, obviously this official already knew that Gongsun Ce was deflated in Kunning Palace.

The official didn't wait for Gongsun Ce to speak, so he said sarcastically: "Yo, isn't this Gongsun Attendant? Why did Gongsun Shi read and check the amount of kerosene in Kunning Palace, and he didn't eat enough soil, and now he came to my treasurer, did he want to check the kerosene of my treasurer? ”

For this kind of villain who prefers to be high and low, Zhu Hao is the most unaccustomed to it, and snorted coldly: "The Son of Heaven is stepping on this again, and you don't kneel yet, is it possible that you want to bully the king and rebel?" ”

The treasurer only saw Gongsun Ce, but did not see Zhu Hao sitting on the Son of Heaven's step, because the Son of Heaven's step can be understood as the emperor's private car, which may have the emperor sitting on it, or it may be an empty car, to pick up the emperor.

This step itself was very huge, enough for three adults to sit side by side, and Zhu Hao, who was just a child at the moment, sat on it, so that the treasurer didn't pay attention and didn't notice it. I thought it was just an empty step, ready to pick up the emperor.

At this moment, Zhu Hao opened his mouth to speak, and the treasurer official saw Zhu Hao sitting above, although he couldn't understand why Zhu Hao was sitting on the Son of Heaven's step, but this was not something that he could ask a small person, listening to Zhu Hao's words just now, the treasurer official was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground, and said again and again that the slave is guilty, and the slave is guilty!

The reason why this treasurer calls himself a slave is because he says that he is a treasurer, but most of the people who serve in the palace are eunuchs, and this treasurer is naturally no exception, all eunuchs are royal slaves, so he calls himself a slave.

Looking at the ugly face of this treasurer, Zhu Hao didn't want to say a word, so he snorted coldly: "Didn't you ask Gongsun just now if he wanted to check your treasurer's kerosene?" You're right! This prince came to check the treasurer's kerosene at the behest of his father! Why don't you hurry up and open the kerosene depot? ”

The treasurer's face changed suddenly when he heard this, although it was only for a moment, but all of this was keenly captured by Zhu Hao, but Zhu Hao did not break it. Just waiting for this treasurer to open the kerosene storehouse.

But the treasurer knelt on the ground, and there was no movement for a long time, just when Zhu Hao was impatiently trying to reprimand the treasurer, the treasurer seemed to have the courage to say: "The fifth prince said that he came at the will of His Majesty, may I ask what is Your Majesty's will?" No one can count the treasurer without His Majesty's will! Please also ask the five princes to show His Majesty's holy decree! ”

Zhu Hao looked at this treasurer and sneered at first, and now he deliberately made things difficult, at this moment, he had already determined that this treasurer official must be tired, but if he didn't open the kerosene warehouse, he couldn't get the evidence, Zhu Hao snorted coldly and said: "My father passed on an oracle, and there is no holy decree!" Don't you believe that this prince came by the Son of Heaven? Or do you think that this prince is a false transmission of his father's holy decree? ”

When the treasurer heard this, he hurriedly kowtowed to Zhu Hao and said, "The slave doesn't dare!" Slaves don't dare! Just ......"

The people who can be treasurers and officials are undoubtedly all like human spirits, and naturally know that Zhu Hao is the emperor's favorite son, even if Zhu Hao really fakes the holy decree, I am afraid that in the end, in order to protect Zhu Hao, the emperor will say that he said it himself!

Zhu Hao knew that this treasurer was taking care of his identity and didn't dare to compare himself with himself, but seeing that although he claimed that the slave was guilty, he was motionless and still trying to make excuses, Zhu Hao directly interrupted the words of the treasurer official, and snorted coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, this prince doesn't have time to listen, hurry up and open the kerosene warehouse to this prince!" This prince will be counted now, and if he hesitates, he will be punished according to the crime of bullying the king! Hmph!"

When the treasurer heard this, he knew that his little arms couldn't twist his thighs, so he hurriedly stood up and walked to the kerosene depot, but he tried several treasury keys in a row, but he didn't open the kerosene depot, and he was anxious to sweat, Zhu Hao knew at a glance that the treasurer official was deliberately delaying time, so he snorted coldly: "Why can't you find the key to the kerosene depot?" ”

The treasurer said with a sad face: "The slave remembered, the slave forgot the key to the kerosene warehouse in the slave's room, please wait a while, and the slave will go back to get it!" ”

Zhu Hao knew at a glance that this treasurer official was acting for himself, and scolded in his heart: "MD, all TNND in the palace are actors, acting in front of Lao Tzu, it is really a ...... in front of Luban" Thinking of this, Zhu Hao felt a pain in his heart and stopped thinking, because he is now allergic to the word "Luban", as for why? Naturally, it was all given by that cheat father's system.

Zhu Hao didn't want this treasurer to delay any longer, and who knows if this guy would just smear the soles of his feet with oil and slip away, if there is a cat in this treasury, this is a key witness.

Thinking like this, Zhu Hao waved his hand and said, "Don't be so troublesome!" As he spoke, he shouted to the people who accompanied him: "Someone will knock open the door of this treasury for this prince!"

When the treasurer heard this, he immediately fell to his knees, wept and said, "Don't! The Five Princes must not! This is a felony to destroy the door of the storehouse! ”

As soon as Zhu Hao heard this, he knew that the treasurer official was using these words to make himself retreat, the corners of Zhu Hao's mouth were slightly upturned, and he secretly said in his heart: "Let you act, Lao Tzu will give you a salary from the bottom of the kettle, see how you act!" ”

Thinking like this, Zhu Hao pretended to comfort the treasurer and said: "Treasurer, don't panic, this prince is also to investigate the case, and he will naturally explain all this to his father afterwards, and his father will not blame you!" ”

As he spoke, he said categorically again: "Come on, knock on the door for this prince!" ”

The treasurer wanted to stop him, but he was pulled aside by Zhu Hao's entourage and never gave him a chance to speak.

Although the door of this kerosene depot is very strong, it cannot withstand the continuous violent destruction of so many people. Seeing this, Zhu Hao ordered: "Check the treasurer's kerosene!" Count carefully, don't be sloppy! ”

After saying that, he sat down on the step and closed his eyes to recuperate, waiting for the news of the investigation, and at this moment the treasurer and official were already paralyzed on the ground, his face was as dead as ashes, as if he had accepted his fate. Zhu Hao just ordered people to look at him, and didn't say anything to him, Zhu Hao wanted to wait for everything to come to an end.

About half an hour had passed, and the people who were in charge of checking the accounts and comparing the amount of kerosene in the warehouse finally had a result.

One of them stepped forward to report to Zhu Hao: "Your Highness, there is a discovery!" ”

Zhu Hao was overjoyed when he heard this, thinking that he had finally found evidence this time, and see how the old demon woman could deny it! After a while, I will go back to my father with the evidence, and I must let my father clean up the old demon woman ruthlessly, preferably so that she will never have a chance to make waves again!

Just when Zhu Hao was thinking like this in his heart, the person who stepped forward to report said again: "Your Highness, this kerosene is indeed missing, but ...... Only one bucket ...... missing"

"What?" When Zhu Hao heard that the good wishes he wanted to rectify Empress Guo just now were all gone, he turned to a sad face and deep incomprehension.

The two kerosene withdrawals in the palace of Empress Guo were three barrels each time, but now the treasurer only has one barrel of kerosene, so where did the other two barrels of kerosene Empress Guo get from?
