  Chapter 3094 Where does the food go?

  The nine Yinxing brothers fulfilled their duties faithfully, followed their master closely, climbed the steps to the eaves, and lined up on the west eaves.

  The Shang monks stood behind the young master and lined up on the east verandah.

  The eaves of the main hall's eaves are also overhangs that extend outward. Outside the colonnade, there is a row of armored soldiers, and government officials stand on both sides of the entrance to the main hall.

  Lord Shang stood on the east side. Out of respect for the fairy, he was half a step behind and was the one closest to the fairy.

  When the fairy was furious, because he was so close, he was naturally the first to feel the powerful murderous aura on the fairy's body.

  The murderous intent was not directed at him, but was only affected by it. Lord Shang's murderous intent was so shocking that his scalp exploded, and the two were almost ready to leave first.

  The anger in Le Yun's heart was raging. Fortunately, she had good self-control and controlled her emotions immediately.

  The murderous aura that had just arisen quietly dissipated as if it suddenly appeared.

  The murderous aura on his neck like a knife disappeared without a trace. Lord Shang's back was still cold. He did not dare to look at the fairy and quietly stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his face.

  After calming down her emotions, Le Yun turned into a harmless girl again and calmly discussed with the county guard: "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the family and the country. It is related to the life and death of Ning County. The monks and people of each family also know about it." Quan, what do Lord Shang think?"

  "Fairy, Shang Jun will invite the monks and common people who volunteer to participate to come in and listen. Fairy, please come and sit in the hall first."

  Lord Shang naturally thinks that the fairy's opinion is very good. Immediately spread the message to outside the mansion: "The fairy is asking questions in the main hall. If the monks and elders outside the mansion are willing, please come into the mansion to listen."

  Lord Shang accompanied the fairy into the governor's mansion, but the people still stood in the square and refused. He left, hoping to wait for someone from the governor's mansion or someone from Shang County to come out and tell him where the fairy would stay while she stayed in Ningcheng.

  The monks are still there, and they plan to wait until the fairy settles down before entering the governor's mansion to meet with Lord Shang.

  The monks did not dare to use their spiritual consciousness to enter the governor's house to inquire about the news, but their ears were good and they heard the fairy's angry shouts.

  Listening to the voice, it was known that the fairy was angry, and the fairy ordered the royal guard to take Prince Xin to see her. Visual inspection may have something to do with the resources in Princess Xin Shu's storage container.

  There are many things that can make a fairy angry.

  The monks were trying to guess what made the fairy so angry. Their expressions were very subtle when Lord Shang invited them into the mansion.

  The monks did not hesitate and immediately walked towards the Sheriff's Mansion.

  When the people heard Lord Shang's words, they rushed towards the gate of the Governor's Mansion without hesitation.

  The monks did not steal the way of the common people. They lagged behind and felt that the people's speed was too slow. It would take at least a quarter of an hour to reach the main hall of the Sheriff's Mansion at this speed.

  A quarter of an hour is nothing in normal times, but keeping the fairy waiting for a long time is a bit unreasonable.

  Several high-level monks communicated with their spiritual consciousness and reached a consensus - the monks should bring the people into the mansion!

  The monks dispersed, their spiritual consciousness and spiritual power was released, and they "pulled" hundreds of people away.

  The common people who were walking suddenly floated up with a sudden lightness, screamed in fright, and then heard the monks' voices: "Don't panic, in order to prevent the fairy from waiting for a long time, the monks from each family are taking everyone into the county governor's mansion, everyone just relax , will be here soon."

  The panicked people knew the reason. They were surprised first and then happy, and no longer struggled. Although they were carried by the monks and did not fly around in the air like the monks themselves, the feet were floating off the ground. It feels particularly magical.

  Chamberlain Huang and the royal guards bypassed the main hall through the passage in front of the podium and hurried back to the fourth hall. They did not want to stay for a moment longer and ordered the honor guard to pack their luggage.

  When the prince visited the west on behalf of the monarch, he also used the emperor's guard of honor.

  The emperor's honor guard formation was huge, with more than 3,000 female guards in the inner prison.

  Many items in the governor's mansion are ready-made, but some of the commonly used items in the residence of the prince and princess are still the items they are used to in the palace.

  The honor guard has a large number of carriages, horses, and sedans. The sedans and carriages are in storage, and the horses are in special stables and need to be collected.

  Huang Naiyuan was the leader of the honor guard. He gave the order, and although the captains of the palace maid's guards were shocked, they didn't ask any questions and hurriedly took action.

  The monks of the Shang family and the officials of the county governor's mansion stayed silently in the main hall of the fourth hall, acting like wooden figures. When the fairy's angry shouts came, they ignored the royal team and rushed towards the main hall in front.

  Huang eunuch directed the people to pack up the prince's and princess' belongings. When he heard the loud shouting, he trembled with fright and fell to the ground as his legs went weak.

  With fear in his heart, he didn't dare to hesitate. He climbed up on the ground, rushed out of the door, and hurried towards the main hall of the county governor's palace with the royal guards who came after hearing the sound.

  The upper part opens its mouth, the lower part runs and breaks its legs.

  Le Xiaoluoli, who had become the one who opened her mouth, turned around and walked towards the main hall of the Sheriff's Mansion without caring about other people's reactions.

  In order to show its closeness to the people, the main hall of the governor's mansion does not have a Xumi platform. There are nine steps in front of the eaves. The whole hall rises from the ground, with carved beams and painted pillars, and red and red couplets carved with regular script. It is magnificent and beautiful.

  The main hall is nine rooms in the middle of its width direction, with open doors on the front and rear eaves. The doors and walls of the main hall are all in the style of a fan, which can be fully opened. Both the fan and the ridged window above the door are hollowed out with Ruyi patterns.

  The partition walls that separate the main hall from the east and west halls are richly decorated with carvings of aristocratic flowers and birds.

  It is five rooms deep, and gold pillars are added between the fourth and fifth doors on the central axis. Between the golden pillars is a gorgeous back wall. In front of the wall, there is a Xumi platform about an inch above the ground, with a throne and Big case.

  The fourth entrance and the fifth entrance were originally connected. The governor's mansion used a tall floor-to-ceiling screen as a partition to separate the fifth entrance into a back hall.

  There are two doors on both sides of the gorgeous Taishi wall leading to the back hall.

  There is a door in the back hall that leads directly to the third entrance hall, and there are also doors on the east and west walls leading to the east and west halls.

  There is a main thin seat on the west side of the desk in front of the board. There are five armchairs in a row on both sides in front of the large desk. There are also three rows of armchairs on both sides in front of the Xumi seat.

  The throne in the main hall is a single seat. In fact, the county monarch handles official affairs in the west hall most of the year. He only attends the official meetings in the west hall to hear reports from county officials or judge major cases, or to meet with county officials to pay homage in the first month of each year. Only when important political affairs need to be discussed in the palace will the main hall be promoted to the main hall.

  The width of the houses in the middle is five feet and five feet wide. The width of the houses facing east and west is slightly reduced by a few inches, and the depth is five feet.

  The main hall is spacious, and there is inevitably insufficient lighting in the room. The ceiling, walls, and golden pillars are inlaid with lighting beads. Those beads are small magic weapons. Just input a certain amount of spiritual power, and they can continue to illuminate for one or more months.

  Le Yun entered the main hall, looked around the whole hall, and walked towards the Xumizuo in the hall.

  Junjun Shang sent a message to the monks and people in the square, turned around and followed the fairy. He was about to invite the fairy to the throne, but the fairy stopped leaving when she reached the Xumizuo platform.

  Le Yun was very straightforward and used her spiritual power to move an armchair on the west side closer and placed it under the Xumi Zuo. She turned around and sat on it smoothly.

  The fairy refused to sit on the throne in the palace. Lord Shang didn't want to ask any questions, so he dragged a chair and placed it half a step behind the fairy's seat, and he sat beside her.

  As everyone entered the palace, each stood behind his master. Chamberlain Huang and the royal guards were not encumbered by mortals. They flew across the ground, crossed the third level of the hall, and rushed to the main hall from the west side of the hall.

  Entering the wide vestibule in front of the temple, one could immediately see a pile of items on the east side of the floor, placed under the talisman array and the golden talisman in the air, being exposed to the sun.

  When the mountains of spiritual stones came into view, Huang's mind was buzzing, and there was only one thought left in his mind - to finish the game!

  The reason why the guardian of the sacred tree is angry must be related to Princess Shu's resources.

  There are definitely some things I can’t hide!
  There was a guess in his heart. Huang Huang wished that he could grow some wings and fly back to the capital at once, or that there would be a rift in time and space for him to hide.

  However, the idea of ​​​​escape is all a luxury.

  There was no escape for him.

  Huang Huang gritted his teeth and dragged his somewhat stiff legs across the floor to the steps of the main hall, and climbed up the stairs with the royal guards.

  Before she climbed onto the verandah, she had already seen the guardian of the sacred tree sitting in the hall. Even though she didn't look at her, she still felt divine consciousness falling on her body, like needle pricks, and dense pain slowly spread throughout her body. .

  Now that there was no way out, Huang Nei Shiqiang calmly climbed the stairs to the colonnade, filed into the hall with the royal guards, and then walked forward along the passage to the west in the center of the hall.

  A group of people came to a stop about a foot away from the guardian of the sacred tree. Huang Chamberlain lowered his head and saluted: "The fairy is calling, and the Sa family is waiting for the fairy's instructions." "You guys wait, everyone is here.

  My fairy has something to ask you." Master No. After speaking, Jiuxing replied on behalf of his master.

  The Huang eunuch and the royal guards silently moved to the side and stood in two rows.

  There was a seat next to him, but they knew they were in the wrong and didn't dare to find a seat by themselves.

  The monks in the square led a group of common people into the front hall. When they arrived at the Yimen, they saw the royal guards flying from the back hall. Their speed did not slow down and they went straight from the courtyard to the main hall.

  The common people's eyes were blurred and they did not see the items drying on the floor. The monks in Ningcheng saw it clearly and couldn't help but say, "Princess Xin Shu is so rich!"
  At this time, the monks were more sure of their guesses. Those things were the same ones that made the fairy furious.

  The monks led the people into the hall in groups, and automatically sent the people to stand on both sides of the hall.

  When the power that held them up disappeared, the people were down to earth and couldn't help but look around. When their eyes touched the lobby and the splendid paintings, which were wider than their entire courtyards, they immediately retracted their necks.

  The brave ones admired it for a few times, and quickly lowered their eyebrows and lowered their eyes when they saw the fairy, Jun Jun and others sitting in the middle.

  There were only a few thousand people in the square. The monks quickly arranged the people and quietly walked to the west side and stood in front of the seats. They sat down one after another when they heard the prince say "please take a seat".

  The monks filled the three rows of seats on the west side, and there were some juniors who had no seats and stood behind the elders.

  The monks outside the square arrived, as did the Shang monks and officials from the county governor's office. They all bowed outside the hall and then entered the hall. They all took their seats on the east side.

  The people were excited, but they controlled it forcefully. Only the pounding of their heartbeats declared their mood.

  The monks' heartbeats were slow and rhythmic.

  The staff sat upright and carefully controlled their breathing.

  There was complete silence in the entire hall, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

  In the silence, Le Yun broke the deadlock: "I have something to ask, the internal supervisor and the royal guards must think clearly before answering whether to tell the truth or to deceive others. The choice is yours, and I have doubts. I will use the Soul Searching Technique to verify the truth and falsehood."

  Hearing the Soul Searching Technique, the Royal Family's back felt cold.

  Waiter Huang was so frightened that he could hardly stand upright.

  "If you don't say anything, I will assume that you have thought clearly. The first question is, your monarch will send people to Ning County to buy grain every ten years, but he defaults on grain and silver on the grounds that the treasury is empty. How much grain and silver are owed in total?"

  Fairy Let’s get straight to the point. Mr. Shangjun is extremely lucky that the guardian of the sacred tree hates evil and will surely save Ningjun from fire and water!

  When the fairy asked about the matter of food and silver, the officials of the county governor's mansion straightened up immediately and stared at the imperial family and the royal family without blinking.

  The people also pricked up their ears.

  The royal family were so frightened that they did not dare to say a word.

  No one answered, and Le Yun's eyes fell on the Mahayana chamberlain: "Others may not know, and as the monarch's most trusted personal steward, he doesn't know either? Huh?" "..."

  Huang Chamberlain's calves were as stiff as stones. Hard, under invisible pressure, he owed his body: "It is a fact that the monarch bought food but did not pay the food and silver. The Sa family does not know how much food and silver they owe." The internal prison officer was vague, and Le Yun did not argue with him first: "From now

  on Where did the grain purchased by Ningjun go? This time, you should consider the consequences of perfunctory matters before answering."

  Beads of sweat sprung up on Huang's forehead, and the beads became thicker and denser. However, he did not dare to move. He felt that if he moved, his head would leave his neck.

  The royal family wished they could disappear on the spot, but they heard a ghostly voice that sounded like it was coming from hell: "You don't even dare to say it, do you? Do you have to see some blood before you tell the truth?" Huang Huang's spine trembled in fear

  . He was even more crooked: "Back to... Fairy, the monarch has one or two confidants who are doing business, and the grain bought from Ning County was resold by them... The grain and silver went into the monarch's private treasury." Huang Eishi's answer was

  : Come out, the royal family and Mahayana people can't wait to burrow into the ground.

  The officials and people of the county magistrate's office were struck by thunder, and their minds were left with a buzzing sound.

  The monarch would send envoys to Ning County every ten years to prepare food for the army. Because it was military supplies, even if the monarch said that the treasury was empty and defaulted on food and silver, Ning County would still do its best to raise food.

  Who would have thought that all the so-called military rations would go into the pocket of the monarch!
  The officials' blood froze, and their whole bodies felt cold.

  Lord Shang guessed that some of the food might have gone into the royal family's private pockets, but he didn't expect the answer to be even more chilling than he thought.

  Le Yun remained calm and continued to ask: "This time Xinhunjun asked the prince to patrol the west on his behalf, he must have asked Ningjun for food. Xinhunjun asked the prince to ask Ningjun how much food he wanted?" Huang Neishi didn't even dare to raise his head:

  " The monarch ordered the prince to take 60% of Ningjun's autumn grain."

  "Hiss-" When the confused people heard that the monarch asked Ningjun to hand over 60% of the autumn grain, they were all so angry that their minds were clear.

  "But how come I heard that Prince Xin told Lord Shang that he wanted 80% of Ningjun's autumn grain to be paid as tribute." "

  The monarch asked Ningjun to pay 60% of autumn grain, but the prince and Princess Shu each increased it by 10% on their own initiative." Huang Neishi There was only one thought in his mind: if he had known about this catastrophe, he would have avoided being the general manager of the Prince's Western Inspection even if he had committed suicide!
