Chapter 408: Hiding in the Palace

Guo Kai saw Zhao Yan coming out from afar, kneeling on the ground and crying so heartbroken, "Great King, King, the criminal Guo Kai, pay homage to the king."

Zhao Yan was used to this person who had been together since childhood. He walked up to him with a calm face, leaned forward and looked at the twenty cars of treasures behind him, and asked, "Prime Minister, what does this mean? All the savings in this life have been handed over to the national treasury. What will you do to live in the future?"

Guo Kai knelt down and walked two steps with his knees, and was snatching the land with his head against King Zhao. "Because the favor of the king, I have no worries about food and clothing for the whole family, but I am still greedy and unsatisfied. But if I have the money greedy, I can only be buried in my house and be worried. I was wrong, I will never be greedy again. I will let the king deal with it. I hope the king will let my family go~"

Zhao Yan put his hands on his hips and walked slowly to a cart of gold jewelry, and signaled to open the box with a "yes~".

Lu Yan stood beside the car honestly, buried his head, 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 looked into the box. It was full of twenty carts, really like cauldrons, jade, gold nuggets and beads. He turned around and said to Guo Kai, "What does it feel like if you say you are burying something worth 150,000 gold at home? Ah? It's not the national treasury, I'm just a beggar compared to you."

"I know it's wrong, I know it's wrong."

"Haha~" With a chuckle, Zhao Yan covered the box with his own hands, then walked back to Guo Kai, and squatted down without considering his own influence, "Well~ Guo Kai, you did a pretty job this time!"

Guo Kai nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and suddenly reacted and screamed, "Ah?"

"Do you know that in the name of searching for Luowang, I gave Zhao Liang and others the right to take action first and then report. Did they find evidence of how many corrupt officials in this temple?" Zhao Yan's eyes were very deep, but he had no intention of murderous Guo Kai. He pointed at him and even praised him, "So far, you are the first one who came to voluntarily confess his guilt and handed over the corruption money to the treasury."

He patted Guo Kai's shoulder and stood up happily, saying happily: "Not only can I kill you, I also have to pardon you and reward you. Just put your heart in your stomach."

"Thank you for your gratitude to the king, thank you for your gratitude to not kill, thank you for your gratitude!" Guo Kai said while kowtowing wildly.

"Okay, okay, this 150,000 yuan is your life-buying money. I don't care about your messy things. In the future, you should not make any more mistakes."

"Keep in mind the teachings of the king, and you must always reflect on yourself and never commit any more."

Zhao Yan nodded with satisfaction, looked at the twenty cars of treasures, and his displeasure in his heart was relieved a lot, and he ordered to his left and right: "After counting these things, they will all be pulled into the treasure house in the palace."

"promise."

A team of guards shouted at the servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion, "Follow me." and led the crowd to the palace.

Everyone had been searched before entering the palace, and the leader of the Longtai guards along the way was unobstructed. The people in Luowang lowered their eyebrows and obediently, without any mistakes. Lu Yan kept lighting up the map in his mind.

Soon they were taken to the treasury, and in addition to the imperial guards stationed at the garrison, there was also a minister of the Interior who specialized in counting records.

"What's going on? Where did so many treasures come from to be stored? Haven't you heard of them before?"

The Longtai guard walked up and curled his lips and said, "There are strange things every year~ This is the life savings offered by the Prime Minister. Please count and record them and prepare to enter the warehouse."

"Sir, it's really strange that this happened." The Minister of the Interior nodded in a clear way, ordered the convoy to stop at the designated location, and shouted: "You, you, you, are ready to unload one by one, and after I check it, I will enter the treasury."

Lu Yan responded obediently, "Yes, sir."

The imperial guards guarding in front of the treasury gate lined up on both sides, staring at the unloading servants with long beakers.

The rest were unloading goods under the surveillance of the imperial guards, while Lu Yan was named by the Minister of Internal Affairs to carry boxes for him to check.

Well~There are so many rare treasures, and I can't even recognize some of them. Guo Kai is decisive. This money is used to buy life. Humph, I'm just going to be a sin, so I deserve this.

The Minister of Internal Affairs checked the boxes of treasures after boxes, and cursed Prime Minister Guo Kai countless times in his heart.

No one noticed that as time passed, a colorless and invisible air slowly filled the space.

"Hmph~ It's a full box of gold again, next, treasure jade glass gold cup...it's a mess, next..."

The continuous golden lights, green lights, and blue lights flashed so hard that the Minister of the Interior could not bear it. Coupled with the colorless and invisible breath, his eyes gradually blurred.

The scent of the tide banshee's trait made the people here immerse themselves in the usual scenes constructed by their minds. The Minister of Internal Affairs mechanically watched Lu Yan open the box and close it, and turned a blind eye to Li Mu who was lying peacefully in the box.

In the eyes of the other imperial guards, everything is also carried out in an orderly manner. After inspection, it is sent to the treasury, then transported, inspected, and sent in, and this cycle is repeated.

Lu Yan once again carried a box, and sent it into the box with internal force, "Your illusion is indeed a good move."

The trendy girl also sent the inner voice to his ears, "I have accepted the praise from my sir."

By the time everything was over here, a dozen people from Luowang had quietly hid in the treasury and were not prepared to leave the palace with the convoy. These people who were not very conscious, whether they were the Minister of the Interior or the Imperial Guard, did not notice at all. The convoy of more than fifty people when they entered the palace, had only more than thirty people when they returned.

The Minister of Internal Affairs looked at the thickly folded recording paper, rubbed his temples and sighed: "Oh my God, just the treasure that Guo Kai had accumulated with his own strength made me cramp my hand writing. It's really...ah~"

As soon as Guo drove the convoy returned, a new convoy came. Compared to Guo drove the 20th car, this family only had two cars.

"Sir, another batch of treasures came, saying that they were going to enter the treasury."

The Minister of the Interior felt his hands were sore, and he turned his wrist and complained: "What the hell is going on? It's rare to get into the warehouse, so many people come today!"

It turned out that when he learned that Guo Kai spent his life savings to contribute to the treasury to avoid Zhao Yan's investigation, the rest of the families that had been collected from corruption did not dare to delay, and came to the palace one by one to apologize and voluntarily sent the stolen money to the treasury.

When he heard the ridiculous plot outside, he had no choice but to spread his hands, "Ha?! This time is great, don't think of 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 we are making trouble for this drama, but it has helped Zhao Yan collect a lot of money."

The banshee took the opportunity to approach him and said disdainfully: "What's the matter? Zhao State is going to be destroyed. Isn't everything in the Zhao State's treasury belonging to Qin State."

"Shut up, and when they are all done, they will leave Handan from the secret passage tonight."
