Chapter 169 Stolen
Zhao Yu stood outside Yongshou Palace with his hands down. After more than half an hour, a side door of the main hall of Yongshou Palace opened and an acquaintance walked out.
"Envoy Zhao Zhen, Your Majesty declares your presence..."
Zhao Jingzhong came to the steps outside the door and looked condescendingly at Zhao Yu who was standing below with his hands hanging down. He couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart.
He and Zhao Yuming seemed to be getting along well on the surface, but both of them knew very well that they were already unrelenting enemies.
But despite all this, Zhao Jingzhong still couldn't help but admire this guy with eye circles.
A hundred days ago, he was just a small householder who could be manipulated at will. In less than three months, he was already standing outside the Yongshou Palace.
He entered the palace as a eunuch since he was a child, and he was lucky. On the way to wash the room of the assigned king, he met the already powerful Wei Zhongxian, and he rose through the ranks and reached the position of the eunuch of etiquette and pen.
But even so, it took him twelve years from entering the palace to walking outside the Yongshou Palace!
Zhao Yu stood up and came to the steps, but instead of entering the Yongshou Palace immediately, he waited for Zhao Jingzhong to come outside the main palace door again and then reported another message into the palace.
After the emperor nodded, the eunuch on duty in the palace would open the door.
When the door of Yongshou Palace opened, Zhao Yu quickly entered the palace with his head lowered and bowed as Feng Li Dao had taught him before.
"Um?!"
The moment he just stepped into the dragon threshold, Zhao Yu, who had his head lowered, frowned suddenly.
Just now, when his footsteps fell into Yongshou Palace, Zhao Yu clearly noticed that at least three auras enveloped him!
These three auras gave Zhao Yu a heavier sense of oppression than any martial arts master he had encountered before.
Even with his current level of internal energy cultivation, he felt that after entering the Yongshou Palace, the flow of energy became stagnant.
After being frightened, Zhao Yu became calm.
After all, the person sitting above him is also the Ninth Five Supreme Being of Daqian. How could he not be protected by a few masters with great cultivation levels around him?
What just made Zhao Yu a little uneasy was that even if the emperor really wanted to kill him, the things he prepared before coming would be very effective under the watchful eye of such a master.
"Your Majesty, Jinyiwei Beisi Town..."
"no!"
Zhao Yu came ten steps away from the Qingsha Dragon Tent, lifted up his clothes and bowed down. He was about to shout long live according to the Fengli Sword Cult, but he didn't want to be interrupted by the emperor in the Dragon Tent.
"..."
Zhao Yu, who had been reviewing the rules taught by Fengli Dao on the way here, felt a little aggrieved at this moment.
He didn't even say many words before they were choked back by the person in the dragon tent.
For a moment, Zhao Yu, who was seeing such a big scene for the first time, was somewhat at a loss.
But the emperor in the dragon tent said nothing more except "forget it".
Zhao Jingzhong and Fengli Dao, who were standing on the steps of Kowloon with their hands hanging on both sides of the green gauze tent, also remained silent.
Except for the occasional crisp sound of a copper chime coming from the green gauze dragon tent, the entire Yongshou Hall was eerily silent.
The three auras from before were still clinging to Zhao Yu's body, which made Zhao Yu feel irritated involuntarily.
After about an hour, just when Zhao Yu couldn't help but want to risk his life, there was finally movement in the dragon tent.
"Zhao Yu, do you know why I called you here?"
The emperor in the dragon tent put down the chime hammer in his hand, picked up a jade Ruyi beside him with one hand, lifted up a corner of the dragon tent, and asked in a calm tone.
"Your Majesty is stupid, please make it clear..."
Zhao Yu pretended to be a grandson while cursing in his heart.
You summoned me here so well, and then you asked me about it?
What's wrong with your brain being flooded?!
"I'm here to ask you, were you the one to set up the nine porridge factories outside the capital?"
When the emperor said these words, Fengli Dao, who was standing beside the dragon tent, subconsciously gave Zhao Yu a wink.
But at this moment, Zhao Yu lowered his head and couldn't see Feng Li Dao's actions at all.
"Your Majesty, it was established by me!"
Zhao Yu, whose patience had long been worn away, subconsciously spoke out.
However, after the words were spoken, Zhao Yu suddenly reacted.
Nine porridge factories have been providing porridge for more than ten consecutive days, and the grain and rice involved are more than hundreds of thousands of stones?
What Zhao Yu's purpose or original intention was was actually not important to the emperor.
The important thing is, you, a guy who has been promoted to the governor of Beisi Town for less than three months, where did you get these things?
Hearing Zhao Yu's answer, Feng Lizao's expression changed, while Zhao Jingzhong, who was standing on the other side, had a hint of joy on his face.
After all, Zhao Yu was only from a small household with no real power like the Inspection Department. How could he figure out the emperor's thoughts clearly?
Do good to save people?
To the emperor, this was of no concern at all.
As an emperor, what he pays more attention to is how Zhao Yu amassed so much private wealth!
"oh?"
The emperor stretched out his jade Ruyi again, lifted up the dragon tent, looked at Zhao Yu at the foot of the Nine Dragons steps, and asked: "You have only been promoted to the governor of Beisi Town for more than a month, and three generations of your family have been in the Jinyiwei Inspection Department. My ancestors
There are no wealthy people, how can they come up with so much grain and rice to help the people in disasters?"
"Don't use your words to fool Liu Jin, that stupid slave girl, to try to frustrate me. Even An Jianqing can't afford this much grain!"
Before Zhao Yu could speak, the emperor in the dragon tent spoke again.
Listening to the emperor's words, Zhao Yu's heart moved slightly.
Nowadays, people all over the world say that the emperor is blind and that everything is controlled by Wei Zhongxian.
But from these simple words just now, it can be seen that this emperor is definitely not the dim fool that everyone thinks.
It's freezing cold outside, but there are countless earth dragons under the Yongshou Palace, and the inside of the palace is as warm as spring.
But at this moment, Fengli Dao, who was standing to one side, had a burst of cold sweat on his forehead.
The emperor's words seemed to be calm and calm, but he drove Zhao Yu towards his death step by step.
"Your Majesty is wise, your Majesty has set up nine porridge factories outside the capital. The grain and rice required are..."
Everyone in the hall pricked up their ears, especially Zhao Jingzhong. He wanted to see how Zhao Yu would escape today!
"explain!!"
Seeing Zhao Yu coquettishly, the emperor in the dragon tent seemed a little angry, and his tone of voice was much colder than before.
"yes!"
Zhao Yu nodded, and then his mind moved. His thoughts sank into the system backpack, and he locked on the seven or eight wind thunder beads. Then he gritted his teeth and said: "To answer your Majesty's question, those grains and rice were stolen from the Yuquan Granary.
Coming!"
steal?!
Not to mention Zhao Jingzhong, even the emperor in the dragon tent was unable to react for a moment.
The dignified envoy of Beisi Town actually said the word "steal" in front of the emperor!
"Hahaha……"
Chapter completed!
