"Them? Does it include your children?" Li Rui asked, biting Wen Jue's words.
"Yes! The children are also clamoring to go! Sigh... you say that each of these... is so worthless!" Tian Chong said, pretending to be angry.
"Ang? Really?" Li Rui's face turned cold.
Tian Chong's forehead was dripping with sweat. He nodded calmly and said, "That's true! If my subordinates make any lies, I will be struck by thunder..."
"Okay! Stop making those lies in front of me! You are my subordinate, I don't know what you are thinking?" Li Rui said meaningfully.
Tian Chong was even more panicked!
"Prime Minister..."
"Well... just say what you want to say... don't hold yourself back, I'm listening!" Li Rui was calm and calm, Gu Jing remained calm.
"No...nothing..."
"Hey...Is there brewed tea here? Could it be that it was brewed for me? Wait...this is a teacup that has been drank from..." Li Rui frowned when he saw the teacup that had not been cleared away on the tea table. stand up.
"Come here... quickly... pour some water for the prime minister and the general to make tea..." Tian Chong hurriedly shouted to his servants.
"Who was here just now?" Li Rui asked.
"This... Eunuch Shi has been here!"
"Are you also asking about the treasury inventory?" Li Rui narrowed his eyes and asked bluntly.
"Well……"
Tian Chong was caught off guard. He hurriedly wiped his sweat and forced himself to calm down.
Meng Zhang, who was on the side, had long been frightened by these words and was confused and confused.
"Meng Zhang... tell me... what's the problem with the treasury inventory? It seems that His Majesty didn't issue an edict, and I didn't issue an inventory order, right?" Li Rui's eyes were like a hawk, staring at Meng. Akira.
Meng Zhang swallowed his saliva and was about to answer when Tian Chong hurriedly explained: "My subordinates must be fully aware of everything at all times in order to report accurately to the Prime Minister's treasury... Therefore, I ordered someone to take stock in private..."
"Dare Tian Chong...did I ask you to answer?" Li Rui was furious.
Tian Chong was startled by this roar, which made him panic and tremble all over.
"Tell me...what happened to the treasury? Why didn't the Shangshi Department approve the loan on the grounds of inventory? Do you know what kind of crime is neglecting the palace's royal cuisine?" Li Rui asked coldly.
When Tian Chong heard this, he was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.
Meng Zhang was trembling and in a daze.
"As soon as the court came down today, the door of my Prime Minister's Mansion was full of people! Do you know what these people do?"
"They are ordinary traders from the vegetable market! Because Eunuch Liu has been in debt for two consecutive months, he used the treasury inventory as an excuse to get past them!"
"Every time the palace purchases, it costs five to six hundred thousand gold coins. For two consecutive months, they have not allocated funds and have been using credit. Do you think they can survive?"
"Common people are all running small businesses. For the sake of palace procurement, they can do it once or twice. If this goes on for a long time, no one will be able to sustain it!"
"This morning, Eunuch Liu even touched the vendors in order to purchase the food on the list... Fortunately, no lives were lost!"
"If someone loses his life, can you, Tian Chong, bear it? At this juncture, are you still lying to me?"
"That's it for you to fool Eunuch Shi! How dare you fool me? Do you think I am Eunuch Shi and have no right to interfere in politics?"
Li Rui roared angrily.
Tian Chong and Meng Zhang were so frightened that they turned pale and trembled.
The two of them sat paralyzed on the ground, feeling nothing but despair.
"Tell me! I need to know the truth... If you dare to lie a little, don't blame me for finding out and reporting it to His Majesty, so that Your Majesty will punish you and your family for the crime of deceiving the emperor..." At this point, Li Rui seemed to realize What.
"Ha... no wonder your family will go to your parents' home... I'm afraid it's not going to your parents' home, but... be prepared to run away? No wonder I heard that Meng Zhang's son went hunting outside a few days ago... I just I'm afraid, are you guys secretive? Tell me...what happened to the treasury? No matter what happens, I can't let you arrange for your family to run away in advance, right?" Even if Li Rui was killed, he wouldn't have thought that the treasury was stolen. It was empty inside.
"Prime Minister..."
Tian Chong cried sadly: "You have to make the decision for us! We have no choice but to do it!"
After saying that, Tian Chong sat up, crawled to Li Rui's side, stretched out his hands to hold Li Rui's thighs, and cried with snot and tears.
Li Rui frowned and asked, "What happened? Please tell me in detail!"
"The treasury... the treasury... is empty!"
Tian Chong beat his chest and cried bitterly, "The treasury is empty! The treasury is empty!"
"What did you say? The treasury is empty? What do you mean? Why didn't I understand?" Li Rui frowned into a Sichuan eyebrow.
Luo Zhengfeng on the side also frowned when he heard this.
The treasury is empty?
Subconsciously he thought of his treasure trove.
It seems that his treasure house is also empty, right?
But he didn't say it.
He was afraid that Li Rui would scold him for being incompetent, saying that he couldn't even defend the treasure trove, and he could kill the general who protected the country. Why didn't he lose his head as well?
"Master Prime Minister! The treasury of my Great Yan Empire is empty. There is nothing in it! The money storehouse, the grain storehouse, the army storehouse, and the medicine storehouse are all empty! Everything in it disappeared out of thin air overnight... Not even a scumbag was left behind..." Tian Chong cried like a child, with his eyes filled with grievances and grievances.
Li Rui's spirit suddenly shook, and then he stood up suddenly and roared at Tian Chong: "Bold Tian Chong... don't talk nonsense... tell me again!!! Tell me again!!!" Say it again and try!!”
"The treasury is empty! All the gold coins, food, ordnance, and medicinal materials in it are all gone!" Tian Chong repeated it again under tremendous pressure.
Oh shit! ! !
Damn it! ! !
How can this be? ? ?
How can this be? ? ?
Li Rui's scalp exploded, and his head was buzzing like thousands of bees burrowing into it.
Luo Zhengfeng also had a look of horror in his eyes.
His face turned pale.
Damn it! ! !
Luo Zhengfeng was stunned and shocked.
I almost uttered the quintessence of Chinese culture.
Hundreds of millions of gold coins were lost in his Treasure Pavilion, and there is still no clue.
All the materials and coins in the treasury disappeared out of thin air!
Damn it! !
There are a lot of coins and supplies there! !
How could it disappear into thin air?
The few things in the treasure house were lost, and he really didn't care about them.
He is different from Li Rui. He only focuses on power and position and is not interested in money and treasures.
So it’s gone when it’s gone!
At most, let someone check it out.
