Be the King From the Time of Signing

  Chapter 12 Pulled down and beheaded

   The next morning, Zhou Xiao just woke up and Wei Zhong came in a hurry.

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

   Zhou Xiao said, "Speak."

   "Guangzhi and his wife and children were all killed last night." Wei Zhong said.

   Zhou Xiao frowned slightly.

  I only ordered Gengzhi to sort out the accounts yesterday, and I was killed today.

   Zhou Xiao naturally noticed something strange.

   "Did the money do it again?" Zhou Xiao asked.

   "There is no conclusive evidence." Wei Zhong said, "But according to my investigation, Qian Zhong and Gengzhi stayed alone at the Ministry of Housing yesterday. Qian Zhong left soon after, but Geng Zhi left the Ministry of House late at night..."

   Zhou smiled and nodded, "Watch Qian Zhong carefully."

"Yes."

   "How's the data collection in the dark pavilion?" Zhou Xiao asked.

   "The dark pavilion is involved in the imperial court, rivers and lakes, and many sects and aristocratic families are involved. The information collected now is superficial and can't explain anything. However, this investigation also has unexpected results." Wei Zhongdao.

   Zhou Xiao suddenly became interested, "What?"

   "The dark pavilion has been active recently, probably because of Qin Qiang's death, they want to be detrimental to the royal family." Wei Zhong said.

   Zhou Xiao thought for a while, "Is there any whereabouts of Qin Zhan?"

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

   "I know."

   Afterwards, Zhou Xiaoxing went to the window, "Wei Zhong, go in person and thoroughly check the treasury accounts! Go now!"

   Morning as usual.

   Zhou Xiao did not mention Geng Zhi's death, which made Qian Zhong a little elusive in Zhou Xiao's mind.

   "Money is heavy, show me the treasury accounts." Zhou Xiao said.

  Qian Zhong's heart throbbed, and for some reason his mood became heavy, and he presented the forged accounts.

   Zhou smiled page by page.

  Qian Zhongjing stood in the center of the court hall, feeling inexplicably nervous for some reason.

  The Hall of Mountains and Rivers fell silent.

   You can only hear Zhou Xiao looking through the accounts.

   The accounts after sorting were not very thick, but Zhou Xiao read it very slowly.

   Unconsciously, an hour passed.

   The receipts and payments on these accounts are done very carefully and beautifully, and there are not too many huge expenditures, but the odds and ends add up to a terrifying figure.

   The slower Zhou Xiao looked and the less he spoke, the less confident Qian Zhong felt.

   After a long time, Zhou Xiao closed the account and handed it over to the **** beside him, "Master Qian did a very detailed and beautiful account."

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

   Mr. Qian?

   Zhou Xiao actually called him Lord Qian.

  Money was terrified for a while.

   Too late to speak, Zhou smiled and said, "The only imperfection is that it is too perfect..."

   Qian Zhong felt bad.

   Has the emperor found a clue?

   "The Ministry of Accounts manages the accounts of the treasury, and it should be compared with each other, and strive for perfection." Qian Zhong said solemnly without blushing or beating.

   "Really?" Zhou Xiao said lightly, "I have already sent someone to reorganize the accounts, and I hope that Mr. Qian's accounts can be matched with them."

   "Come here, give a seat."

As soon as    Zhou's joke ended, someone brought a chair to each official.

   "Please sit down." Zhou smiled and said: "The treasury is the foundation of the country. If the accounts of the treasury are not implemented and understood today, we will not withdraw from the dynasty."

   For a while, the Palace of Mountains and Rivers was quiet.

   Qian Zhong's complexion changed and changed.

   After killing Gengzhi yesterday, he flipped through the accounts organized by Gengzhi.

   There are huge numbers of unknown expenditures, large and small, and the names of several high-ranking officials are included, which is no trivial matter.

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

   Zhou Xiao is now sending someone to investigate,

   Check it out!

   Sweat dripped from his forehead.

   Now that Zhou Xiao does not retreat from the dynasty, Qian Zhong has many means to no avail...

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

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

   consciousness sinks,

   "Sign in successfully, congratulations on getting Yida chewing gum."

   Zhou's smiling face turned black...

   "System, are you kidding me?" Zhou Xiao was a little dissatisfied.

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

   Zhou Xiao: "…"

   Well, Zhou Xiao can also accept such an explanation.

   If you drive out the sky-defying stuff every day, this system is really a bit of the sky-defying.

   Time goes by minute by minute.

   It was not until night fell quietly that Wei Zhong hurried to the Shanhe Hall with the sorted accounts.

   "Your Majesty, please take a look." Wei Zhong Yin Judo.

   Zhou Xiao took it over and opened it, and his heart suddenly felt bad.

  Wei Zhong's accounts and Qian's re-arranged accounts, when compared, the gap is staggeringly large.

   Among them, in terms of tax revenue, Wei Zhong’s account was over 50 million taels…

   These details are not in Wei Zhong's accounts.

   Obviously, the money flowed out through other channels.

  Wei Zhong arranged it in great detail, and the whereabouts of the fifty million taels were written clearly at the back.

  30 million taels flowed into the Chengtian School.

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

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

  The account was partially destroyed by money.

   So the real amount is probably doubled on this basis…

   "Aiqings, have a look." Zhou Xiao handed Wei Zhong's accounts to Wei Zhong, and sent them to the ministers to circulate them one by one.

   All the ministers whispered for a while.

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

   "Qian Chong, what do you say?" Zhou Xiao suddenly became angry, and there was no god's power over the hall.

  The ministers were terrified.

Now that the iron evidence is like a mountain, Qian Zhong knows that he can't make a quibble, and his whole person suddenly becomes hideous. A dagger slips out of his sleeve robe, and then his feet slam on the ground, and the whole person quickly slaughtered towards Zhou Xiao. .

   shot hard!

   Take Zhou Xiao directly to the point.

   Seeing that the dagger was about to stab Zhou Xiao, Wei Zhong, who was beside him, suddenly shot, and his magical powers exploded.

  Poof!

   A dazzling golden light pierced through the weight of money.

   Qian Chong, as if being hit by a huge force, 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,

  Be an emperor and walk on the tip of the knife every day!

   There are always bad guys trying to harm me!

   "Your Majesty, what should I do with Qian Zhong?" Wei Zhong asked.

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

   Zhou Xiao did not intend to behead 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. This matter must be thoroughly investigated...

   Hearing the three clansmen, the other three affair ministers knelt like dogs on the court hall.

   "The minister was confused for a while, please give the emperor a chance to reform."

   "The minister pleads guilty!"

   However, Zhou Xiao didn't even look at them, "Pull it down and behead it!"

   Immediately the guards rushed up,

   pulled the three ministers out.

   The three ministers shouted for mercy, but Zhou Xiao did not change his mind at all.

  We must kill the chickens to show the monkeys,

   Only in this way can the rules of the court be established!
