Chapter 508 Where does the food go?(2/2)

The royal Mahayana people were frightened and didn't dare to say a word.

No one answered, and Le Yun's eyes fell on the Mahayana eunuch: "Perhaps others don't know, but as the most trusted personal manager of the king, don't know? Well?"

"..." The Eunuch Huang's calves were as stiff as stones. Under invisible pressure, he owed: "It is a fact that the king bought grain but did not pay grain and silver. The Sa family did not know how much grain and silver they owed."

The intern silenced, and Le Yunxian didn't care about him: "Where did the food I bought from Ningjun flow? This time, you will answer the consequences of your perfunctory work."

Beads of sweat the size of beans gushed out from the forehead of the Eunuch Huang. The beads of sweat became denser and denser, but he didn't dare to move. He felt that once he moved, his head would leave his neck.

The royal Mahayana members wanted to disappear on the spot, but they heard a ghost sound like hell: "I dare not say it, right? Do you have to see some blood before you can tell the truth?"

Eunuch Huang trembled in fear, and his spine became even more bent: "Back... Huixian, the king has one or two confidant merchants, and the grain bought from Ningjun was resold by them... The grain and silver were entered into the king's private warehouse."

As soon as the answer from the Huang Eunuch came out, the royal Mahayana members were eager to get into the ground.

The officials and the people of the county magistrate's office were as if they were thundered, and there was only a buzzing sound left in their minds.

Every ten years, the monarch would send envoys to Ningjun, saying that it was preparing military rations for the army. Because it was military supplies, even if the monarch said that the treasury was empty and he owed grain and silver every time, Ningjun would do his best to raise grain every time.

Who would have thought that the so-called military rations would flow into the king's pockets!

The officials were full of passion and coagulated, and they felt chills all over.

Shang Junjun guessed that some of the food might be put into the royal family’s private pockets, but he didn’t expect that the answer was even more heartbreaking than he thought.

Le Yun was calm and continued to ask: "This time, Xin Mengjun asked the prince to go on his Western tour on his behalf. I believe that he would ask Ning County for grain. Xin Mengjun asked the prince to ask Ning County how much grain would it take?"

Eunuch Huang didn't dare to raise his head: "The king ordered the prince to take 60% of the autumn grain in Ningjun."

"Hiss-" The people in a daze heard that the king asked Ning County to hand over 60% of the autumn grain, and they all became so angry that they were awake.

"But why did Fairy Ben hear that Prince Xin told Jun Shang that he wanted 80% of Ning County's autumn grain to pay tribute?"
