Alien Summoning System

Chapter 361 Disposal
"It's such an empty building, who can tell me, what is this place?" In the treasury, Zhuo Ao looked in surprise at the clean warehouse without a grain in front of him, smiled and said to Baiguan, "I don't even know , There is actually such a clean building in this palace."

"My lord, this is the national treasury." Fei Zhong said softly. He felt that something was wrong with the king today, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. At the moment when he was speaking, a trace of cold sweat dripped from his forehead unconsciously.

"The treasury? The gold left by the Grand Master is here?" Zhuo Ao turned his head and asked.

"Uh~ yes." Fei Zhong could only nod his head.

Zhuo Ao nodded, didn't say much, turned to look at You Hun and Guo Chu: "Bring me your witness."

Soon, four palace guards came up. These four were the guard leaders who were in charge of the treasury.

"You Hun said that Guo Chuti took away the gold from the treasury, is this true?" Zhuo Ao walked in front of the four of them, and said in a low voice.

"That's right, Master Guo Chu took the gold." The four guards nodded at the same time.

"Nonsense, Zhao Kang, Lu Jie, Zhang Xun, Yougui, why did you four frame me!?" Guo Chu said angrily.

"We didn't frame your lord, it is indeed your lord who took the gold." Among the four, the guard named Yougui said with a righteous face.

Guo Chu's face turned pale from anger, and he wanted to say more, but Zhuo Ao waved his hand to stop him.

"Think clearly, but the four of you saw him take away the gold left by the grand master?" Zhuo Ao looked at the four of them seriously and said, "Slandering a minister is a serious crime, especially at this time of national calamity. You and the Nine Clans."

"Your Majesty, we are utterly loyal to Your Majesty, and we will never do such a careless thing. The four of us have indeed witnessed this with our own eyes." You Gui said loudly, "If Your Majesty insists on slandering Guo Chu in the end, the end will slander Guo Chu." Will have nothing to say, voluntarily die, to show loyalty."

"Don't get excited." Zhuo Ao waved his hands and said, "The real one can't be faked, and the fake one can't be faked. Are you sure that the gold of the Grand Master will be put into the treasury?"

"That's right." You Guilang said, "The last general saw it with his own eyes."

"That's easy." Zhuo Ao nodded, turned to Huang Feihu and said, "King Wu Cheng, come here."

"Yes, what's your majesty's order?" Huang Feihu came to Zhuo Ao's side and asked with a bow.

"You are like this." Zhuo Ao whispered a few words in Huang Feihu's ear, the voice was too low, no one heard what Zhuo Ao said, but Huang Feihu's eyes lit up, he nodded in agreement, and turned away.

Zhuo Ao was not in a hurry, someone brought a seat for Zhuo Ao to sit on, Zhuo Ao looked at the crowd and said: "Nowadays there are many disasters, the country is in turmoil, the grand master is loyal and courageous, he would rather the soldiers starve than The common people suffer, I really care about it, but I can't let my soldiers go hungry to defend their homes and defend the country, I don't know about your affairs, can you have a clever plan to share my worries?"

All the officials couldn't help but look at each other silently when they heard the words, at this time You smiled and said: "Your Majesty, although I don't have the ability to be a grand master, I am willing to do my best for my business, and I am willing to share all my family resources with you." All the five hundred gold was rushed into the national treasury to relieve the urgent need."

Baiguan looked at Youhun with a sneer, all the family assets, five hundred gold?This amount of money is definitely not enough for You Hun's greedy ink for a month, so he has the nerve to say it out, but at this time the officials are already disheartened towards King Zhou, and if they say it now, they will inevitably burn themselves, so for a while, no one speaks.

"Aiqing has good intentions, I appreciate it, but this method will treat the symptoms rather than the root cause." Zhuo Ao shook his head noncommittally, and looked outside the door, only to see that Huang Feihu had brought in several guards carrying four sedan chairs, and The sedan chairs lined up.

"My lord, this is..." You looked at Zhuo Ao in confusion.

Zhuo Ao didn't explain, and looked at Yougui's four guards: "The four of you enter the sedan chair and obey my orders. King Wu Cheng, send guards to handle each sedan chair, and the people in the sedan chair are not allowed to move Stick your head out, offenders, beheaded!"

"Obey!" Huang Feihu agreed and shouted an order. Eight aggressive guards guarded the windows of the four sedan chairs. Someone had already sent the four of them into the sedan chairs.

Zhuo Ao looked at Huang Feihu, at Huang Feihu's meeting, four attendants carried four wooden trays into the sedan chair, and someone with good intentions could see clearly that there were four lumps of mud in the wooden tray, for a moment, all the officials were puzzled, no Know what the king is going to do again.

"I said before, if it's true, it can't be fake, and if it's fake, it can't be true." Zhuo Ao got up, looked at the four sedan chairs with the curtains down, and said, "Since you four firmly believe that Master Guo Chu did bring gold from here." , and I saw it with my own eyes, then now, I will pinch out those gold shapes for me, and the time for a stick of incense will not wait."

Speaking of which, Zhuo Ao had already sat back in his seat, and continued to chat and laugh with everyone, which was also a means to draw closer the relationship between the monarch and his subjects.

"My lord, this..." You Hun wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhuo Ao.

"You are now a suspect, just like Guo Chu. In order to avoid suspicion, it's better to say a few words less." Zhuo Ao said indifferently.

"Yes, Your Majesty..." You Hun felt chills all over his body, and looked at Fei Zhong on the other side pleadingly. Fei Zhong didn't dare to speak at this time, but he just kept his eyes fixed and avoided You Hun's gaze. With gloating eyes, the minister knelt down beside Guo Chu.

The time for a stick of incense came in a blink of an eye, Zhuo Ao waved his hand, and the four guards opened the sedan chair curtain, took out the wooden trays of the four people, and sent them to Zhuo Ao.

"This is a golden bead, these two are gold bricks, um... who can tell me what kind of object this is?" Zhuo Ao asked, pointing to a lump of mud on the wooden plate.

"Your Majesty, You Gui has frightened to death in the sedan chair." Huang Feihu opened the sedan chair curtain to look at it, and bowed.

"Pull the other three people out." Zhuo Ao smiled and looked at Guo Chu: "Master Guo, get up, your charges have been cleared."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding." Guo Chu stood up with the support of two officials, but bowed deeply to Zhuo Ao again, sincerely.

"Get up, I said before, the truth can't be fake, and the fake can't be true." Zhuo Ao didn't look at You Hun, whose face was pale and trembling all over, but looked at the other three guards and said: "You three , is there anything else you want to say?"

"Your Majesty, spare your life! You Hun and You Gui are forcing you to do this, and we have no other choice." The three guards knelt down with a plop and hissed.

"You are my guards, guarding the treasury, and the country's trust in you. Unfortunately, you have failed my trust." Zhuo Ao shook his head, did not look at the three of them again, and waved: "Drag out, beheaded at the Meridian Gate, His family property was confiscated and confiscated."

"Yes." Huang Feihu answered in a loud voice, and with a wave of his hand, the wolf-like guards had already pounced on them, and entrusted the pale-faced three of them out.

"Great... Great King." You Hun tremblingly looked at Zhuo Ao.

"Master You, do you have anything else to say?" Zhuo Ao looked at Yougui and said calmly.

"Your Majesty, in view of the fact that I have worked day and night for the people on the saddle and back of the saddle for the Majesty all these years, I beg the Majesty for extrajudicial mercy, and I am willing to use all of my family's wealth to atone for my crime." You Hun cried bitterly.

"All the family assets? Five hundred gold?" Zhuo Ao turned his head, his eyes were as cold as lightning: "I look stupid? Master You dare to be so foolish?"

"Chen..." You's body was like a sieve, trembling and unable to speak.

"I will give you a chance to see how you have worked hard for the common people these years." Zhuo Ao sneered and shouted: "Huang Feihu!"

"The minister is here." Huang Feihu strode forward and said.

"Go and ransack the house yourself, take down the whole family of You's family, confiscate its property, send it to the treasury, and then send someone to tie You Hun to the downtown, and see how the people who made Lord You work hard day and night repay him. "Zhuo Ao said sharply.

"Yes." Huang Feihu took the order loudly and went away, and the two guards dragged him out amidst You Hun's miserable screams.

"My lords, follow me back to the main hall and wait." Zhuo Ao looked at the empty treasury and sighed.

"I will obey the order." All the officials agreed in unison, and it could be heard that after You Hun fell from the horse, the voices of all the officials were no longer as lifeless as before.

Everyone returned to the main hall to discuss the state affairs again. This time, a few old ministers stepped forward and reported the situation of the victims to Zhuo Ao. If there are frequent disasters today and the treasury is empty, it must be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise it will cause greater public resentment.

Zhuo Ao nodded, disaster relief is not something that can be saved by gold, silver and jewelry, there is no food, no matter how much gold, silver and jewelry, it is also a problem that there is no way to fill the stomach.

At noon, some soldiers came to report that the soldiers and horses of the Taishi had arrived [-] miles away from Chaoge and were about to enter the city.

Zhuo Ao put down the playbook, stood up and looked at the officials and said with a smile: "It's really my luck that the grand master returned triumphantly. All my lords will follow me to the Meridian Gate to welcome the grand master."

"I will obey the order!" A group of ministers agreed in unison, and many ministers looked at Zhuo Ao with a hint of relief in their eyes.

Zhuo Ao led all the officials out of the Meridian Gate, just in time to meet Huang Feihu who came back from raiding his home.

Looking behind Huang Feihu at the endless convoy, Zhuo Ao suddenly smiled and said: "It seems that the money and food for the disaster victims have been secured."

"Your Majesty is wise." Beside Zhuo Ao, Fei Zhong's face was not very good-looking, but he still forced a smile on his face and said to Zhuo Ao.

"Your Majesty." Huang Feihu came to Zhuo Ao's side.

"These are Youhun's family property?" Zhuo Ao looked at Huang Feihu and said.

"It's just a part of it. You Hun is inside and outside Chaoge, and there are still three manors that have not been confiscated." Huang Feihu said in a deep voice.

"My lord, spare me~" At this time, You Hun, who had finished parading through the streets, was imprisoned in a prison car by more than a dozen guards, came back in a state of distress, saw Zhuo Ao, immediately lost his mind, and hissed.

"Lord You, you are truly rich, even if I sell my Chao Ge, it may not be able to match the wealth of Lord You." Zhuo Ao shook his head, turned to look at Huang Feihu and said, "I never thought that, Five hundred gold is so much, it seems that my king is really poor."

"Great Wang Mingjian." Huang Feihu said with a smile.

"Send all of these to the national treasury, and the recorder must make no mistakes. All the food and grass will be used to help the victims. If anyone dares to withhold it, they will be killed immediately. This matter will be supervised by you personally." Zhuo Ao nodded.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will handle it impartially." Huang Feihu nodded and said, at this moment, news came that the grand master had entered the city, Zhuo Ao smiled and said: "This will be taken care of by others in advance, follow me to meet the grand master."
