Chapter 371: Appearance

But the surroundings were still quiet, without the slightest sound.

The breeze gradually stopped, and even the "rustling" sound of the branches shaking was completely hidden in the night, and no longer a single word could be heard.

Is there really no one coming?

At the moment when Xiao Ciyu hesitated, the two people who got the extra printed booklet had already successfully got the booklet in their hands and walked towards the door.

Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the gate, Xiao Ciyu finally gave up waiting and jumped neatly from the eaves.

Can't wait any longer!

He was agile and took off from under the porch, and then instantly slammed into the window and entered the hall.

"Who?!"

The first person to react was Zhou Shilang, who was sitting facing Xiao Ciyu.

There was suddenly another person in front of him, and his eyelids jumped with fright.

After his reprimand, Chen Ke and the others, who had already walked to the door, also hurriedly looked back and looked vigilantly at the extra person in the hall.

Their fierce gaze swept behind them, but before they could intimidate each other, they scared their souls first.

"Your Majesty?!"

The two could barely believe their eyes.

This peerless person in front of him, besides His Majesty, who else could it be?!

"Your Majesty, you, why are you..."In a panic, Chen Ke hurriedly hid the booklet in his hand in his sleeve and covered it tightly.

"What? See I'm nervous? Xiao Ciyu raised his eyebrows, and after his gaze turned around Chen Ke's face, it fell directly to his hand, "What was you hiding just now?" What can't I see? ”

His words were a little weird, but when the words fell on the ears of Chen Ke and the others, they made them even more panicked.

His Majesty said that they were not "surprised" but "nervous", and with words like "hidden" and "can't see", the meaning of their words is almost self-evident!

What they've done has been seen through!

So... How much does Your Majesty know now?

In a panic, Chen Ke was the first to choose to divert the topic.

As soon as his leg bones bent, he knelt down straight to Xiao Ciyu: "The minister has eyes and no beads, he has offended His Majesty, please forgive Your Majesty!" ”

With him taking the lead, the rest of the people also hurriedly stepped forward to bow and apologize.

In a few moments, several people in the room knelt down.

"Tsk..."Xiao Ciyu pursed the corners of his lips, paced to Chen Ke and squatted down, "I asked you to the east, but you told me to mention the west, this is the real offense." ”

His voice was slightly cold, and his tone was a little deeper: "I ask you again, what did you just hide that I can't see?" ”

"Minister..."Chen Ke froze, speechless for a while.

The hand he hid in his sleeve clasped the booklet tightly until his fingertips turned white.

You can't hand it over yet!

"Huh? Do I want to ask you a third time? Xiao Ciyu tilted his head slightly, provoking a sneer.

The coldness in his eyes was too strong, and Chen Ke didn't need to look up to know what kind of eyes His Majesty was looking at him at the moment.

"It's the budget details of this disaster relief fund..."The person who couldn't resist the pressure finally whispered the truth.

He didn't dare to lie, for he wasn't sure what His Majesty had heard before he appeared in this room.

"Since it's a disaster relief breakdown, why don't you dare to show it to me?" Xiao Ciyu lowered his eyes and said lightly, "Is it because this detail is tens of thousands of taels of silver more than the normal appropriation?" ”

"Your Majesty?!" Chen Ke suddenly raised his head and looked at Xiao Ciyu in disbelief.

It turns out that His Majesty already knows!

His Majesty just asked him, just to see if he would tell the truth...
