Guo Kai saw Zhao Yan coming out from a distance, kneeling on the ground and crying so hard that his heart broke, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Guo Kai, the guilty minister, pays homage to your Majesty."
Zhao Yan was used to this person he had been with since childhood. He walked up to him with a calm face, leaned over and looked at the twenty carts of treasures behind him, and asked: "Prime Minister, what does this mean? All my life savings are worth it."
If it is handed over to the treasury, what will you do with it in the future?"
Guo Kai knelt and took two steps with his knees, facing King Zhao with his head to grab the ground, "With the favor of the king, I can open a family with no worries about food and clothing, but I am greedy and not satisfied, but I can only bury the money at home."
I’m on tenterhooks. I made the wrong decision, Your Majesty. I will never be greedy again. I will let you do whatever you want. I hope you will let my family go, Your Majesty~”
Zhao Yan walked leisurely to a cart of gold jewelry with his hands on his hips, and said "Hmm~" as a signal to open the box.
Lu Yan stood obediently next to the car, burying his head and pretending not to dare to look directly at the king. The guards around him came over to separate him, and then opened the box.
Zhao Yan casually took a look inside the box and found that twenty carts were full of jade, gold nuggets, beads and gravel. He turned back to Guo Kai and said, "You said you had something worth 150,000 gold buried in the box?"
What does it feel like at home? Ah? Not counting the treasury, I am just a beggar compared to you."
"Know that you are wrong, know that you are wrong."
"Haha~" With a chuckle, Zhao Yan closed the box with his own hands, then walked back to Guo Kai, squatting down without caring about his own influence, "Well~ Guo Kai, you did a great job this time!
"
Guo Kai nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, then suddenly reacted and exclaimed, "Ah?"
"Do you know that in the name of searching the net, I gave Zhao Liang and others the right to kill first and report later? How many evidences of corrupt officials in this temple did they find for me?" Zhao Yan's eyes were deep, but for Guo Yan
Although he had no murderous intention, he pointed his finger at him and even praised him, "So far, you are the first person to come forward to plead guilty and hand over the stolen money to the national treasury."
He patted Guo Kai on the shoulder and stood up, and said cheerfully: "Not only can I not kill you, but I must also pardon you and reward you. Just put your heart in your stomach."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty for not killing me. Thank you, Your Majesty!" Guo Kai kowtowed crazily as he said this.
"Okay, okay, this 150,000 gold will be regarded as the money to buy your life. I don't care about your bad things. From now on, when you assist the prince, don't do it again."
"Keep your Majesty's teachings in mind, reflect on yourself at all times, and never do it again."
Zhao Yan nodded with satisfaction. Looking at the twenty carts of treasures, the dissatisfaction in his heart was relieved a lot. He ordered to the left and right: "After counting these things, bring them all into the palace's treasure house."
"promise."
A group of guards shouted to the servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion, "Follow me." They led a group of people towards the palace.
Everyone had been searched before entering the palace, and the Longtai guards led the way and there was no obstruction. The people in the trap lowered their eyebrows and obeyed, without making any mistakes. Lu Yan kept thinking in his mind.
Bright map.
Soon they were brought to the treasury. In addition to the imperial guards stationed there, there was also the Minister of the Interior who was specifically responsible for counting records.
"What's going on? Where did so much treasure come from to be put into storage? I've never heard of it before?"
The guard from Longtai stepped forward and curled his lips and said: "Weird things happen every year. This is your life savings donated by the Prime Minister. Please count and record it and prepare it for storage."
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, it is really strange that this happened." The Minister of the Interior nodded clearly, ordered the convoy to stop at the designated location, and shouted: "You, you, you, prepare to unload one car after another, wait for me
After checking, enter the treasury."
Lu Yan responded obediently, "Yes, sir."
The Imperial Guards guarding the door of the treasury were lined up on both sides, staring intently at the servants unloading the goods.
The rest of the people unloaded the goods under the watchful eyes of the Imperial Guards. Lu Yan was named by the Minister of Internal Affairs to carry the boxes for him to count and inspect.
Hmm~ There are so many rare and rare treasures, some of which I can’t even recognize. Guo Kai is decisive, this money is used to buy his life, huh, you deserve this for your own sin.
The Minister of Internal Affairs inspected the boxes of treasures one after another, scolding the Prime Minister Guo Kai countless times in his heart.
No one noticed that as time passed, a colorless and invisible Qi slowly filled the space.
"Hmph~ Another box full of gold, next one, jade, glazed gold bottles... a mess, next one..."
The continuous flashes of golden light, green light, and blue light made the Minister of the Interior's eyes a little overwhelmed. Combined with the colorless and invisible aura, his eyes gradually blurred.
The fragrance with the characteristics of a trendy banshee made the people here immersed in the accustomed scenes constructed in their own minds. The Minister of Internal Affairs mechanically watched Lu Yan open and close the box, turning a blind eye to Li Mu who was lying peacefully in the box.
In the eyes of the rest of the Forbidden Army, everything was carried out in an orderly manner. It was transported, inspected, sent to the treasury, moved again, inspected, sent in, and so on.
Lu Yan once again lifted a box and sent his inner force into the box, "You are indeed good at illusions."
Chao Nu also concentrated her inner energy into his ears, "I accept your compliments."
By the time everything was done here, more than a dozen people from Luo Wang's group had quietly hid in the treasury, with no intention of leaving the palace with the convoy. And these people who were not very clear-headed, whether they were the Minister of the Interior or the Forbidden Army, did not notice it at all.
, the convoy of more than fifty people entered the palace, but only more than thirty people returned.
The Minister of Internal Affairs looked at the thickly folded record paper, rubbed his temples and sighed: "Oh my god, just the treasure that Guo Kai has accumulated by himself makes my hands cramp when I write. It's really... ugh~"
Just as Guo Kai's team returned, a new team arrived. Compared to Guo Kai's fleet of twenty cars, this one only had two cars.
"Sir, another batch of treasures has arrived and is said to be put into the treasury."
The Minister of the Interior already felt that his hands were extremely sore. He turned his wrists and complained: "What's going on? It's rare to put them in the warehouse, but today there are so many!"
It turned out that after learning that Guo Kai had used his life savings to contribute to the national treasury to evade Zhao Yan's investigation, the other families whose corruption evidence had been collected dared not delay. One after another, they came to the palace to plead guilty and voluntarily sent the stolen money to the national treasury.
When he heard about the ridiculous plot happening outside, he spread his hands helplessly, "Huh?! It's good this time. Don't even think about having a good rest today."
Lu Yan, who was hiding deep inside the treasury, heard the movement outside, touched his chin and said to himself, "Zhao Yan has something. It seems that the drama we caused has helped Zhao Yan gather a lot of money."
money."
Chao Banshee took the opportunity to stick close to him and said disdainfully: "What's the matter? The State of Zhao will be destroyed. Everything in the treasury of the State of Zhao belongs to the State of Qin."
"Be silent, wait until they are all finished, and then leave Handan through the secret passage tonight."
