On this day, Mo Fan came back from Dong Lao, and saw from a distance that the adjutant Ji Chongwen was already waiting outside his door.

"Got a result?"

While Mo Fan entered the house to rest, he asked without looking back.

"Yes, my lord, according to the information that has been obtained, the situation has probably been clarified. ”

Ji Chongwen paused, didn't sell it, and then took out a stack of materials, and then continued.

"Half a month ago, Murong Baichuan, director of the Finance Department, asked a question to test the seven sons of the Murong family, and within a month's time, whoever gets the most benefits will be the first heir of the head of the family, and the remaining six sons will determine the order of succession according to the final income.

Murong Hai, the fifth prince of the Murong family, and Murong Ding, the seventh son, were eyeing the slums at the same time, among which the seventh prince Murong Ding was targeting those chamber of commerce forces, while the fifth prince Murong Hai was eyeing the martial arts hall with the most martial artists.

The two sons believed in their noble status, and never set foot in the slums for half a step, and they were always represented by the people below.

The person who stared at the Tianxia Martial Arts Gym was Cheng Dao, and he used the pseudonym Cheng Yue when he walked in the slums.

Cheng Dao, the peak cultivation of the seventh order, once served in the Guards Regiment, and the highest rank was second lieutenant, but because of greed for money and lust, he finally caused trouble and was removed from the military department.

At the same time, Cheng Zhi is also a member of the Cheng family, the biological mother of Murong Hai, the fifth son of the Murong family, and can be regarded as the in-law of the Murong family. ”

Mo Fan frowned, although he had long expected that he would be inseparable from the Murong family, but he didn't expect that in the end, it was really the Murong family's hands and feet.

When it comes to the battle for the succession of the head of the family, even the most critical motive is very clear.

That's right, the World Martial Arts Hall doesn't have much value, that is, it is a little famous in the slums, but compared to the Murong family, the director of the Finance Department, it is not as good as the ants under their feet.

Under normal circumstances, not to mention the World Martial Arts Pavilion, even the entire slum, I am afraid that it will not be taken into the eyes of the Murong family.

But this time is different, when it comes to the order of the heirs of the head of the Murong family, the time limit is only a short month, and the slightly harder goal is definitely not enough time.

The World Martial Arts Hall is different, although its value is not large, but it is easy to get it, labor-saving and time-saving, and it is definitely the most suitable target choice.

What's more important is that person, and it's also the most critical witness, Cheng Dao!

As long as it is determined that Cheng Zhi is the one who will move towards the world martial arts hall on the bright side and stun the mountains and rivers, the facts will basically be confirmed.

"How should this matter be handled? This seat needs to ensure the safety of the person in the prison and the World Martial Arts Hall. ”

When it comes to the Murong family, the director of the Finance Department, this is the imperial capital again, and there is Emperor Yingtian staring at it, Mo Fan doesn't know what to do, so he can only ask Ji Chongwen first.

In the face of Mo Fan's inquiry, Ji Chongwen was only silent for a moment, and then shook his head.

"My lord, this matter is very difficult to handle, let's not talk about the power of the Murong family for the time being, let's just say that Murong Baichuan is the director of the Finance Department, which belongs to the imperial administrative department, and our Praetorian Guard is a military system, and the two are not dealing with each other in the first place.

Even if the adult is the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, with the position of the Murong family, there is no need to give us face at all. ”

Most of the time, the administrative body and the military department do not deal with each other, and the Empire of the Ancient Gods is no exception.

Especially after Emperor Yingtian took power, the administrative organs have almost always served the military department, and it would be strange if the bigwigs of the administrative agencies had no opinions in their hearts.

And Mo Fan was originally a person from the Imperial Military Department, and he had no foundation and support, so of course the Murong family, the director of the Finance Department, would not give Mo Fan any face.

The corners of Mo Fan's mouth twitched, and he frowned and was speechless.

The Finance Department does not need to give face to the military department at all, so in this matter, his position as the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard not only does not play any role, but may even add fuel to the fire.

But could it be that he just watched the World Martial Arts Hall become a bargaining chip for the juniors of the Murong family to compete for power and profit?

"What about the backers of the World Martial Arts Gym?

Mo Fan's eyes rolled, and then he asked again.

"My lord, the matter involves the Murong family, where do they dare to come forward, they have already given up the World Martial Arts Pavilion. ”

Ji Chongwen shook his head helplessly.

Mo Fan pursed his lips, and his brows suddenly furrowed even tighter.

Of course, he knew that the Murong family was powerful, and ordinary people would definitely not dare to provoke it, and when he mentioned the backers of the World Martial Arts Pavilion, he only planned to have those people come forward, and then he would support him behind his back.

As long as the relationship between the military department is put aside, there may still be a possibility for the two sides to discuss.

Speaking of which, isn't it just for profit? It's a big deal that if he gives more money, he will buy the Tianxia Martial Arts Hall from the other party.

Anyway, what the sons of the Murong family really want is enough harvest to gain more chips for their heir position.

Since abandoning the World Martial Arts Hall can be exchanged for more benefits, there is no reason for those sons to refuse.

But hearing Ji Chongwen say this, Mo Fan knew that there was not much hope.

In front of the Murong family, the backer behind the World Martial Arts Hall didn't even have the courage to come forward, so he retreated directly, expecting this kind of person to stand in front of him and negotiate with the Murong family, this is definitely a joke, or a big joke.

But it's even worse to change to other people, it's okay for the backers of the World Martial Arts Hall to come forward, at least the teacher is famous, but why should others speak for the World Martial Arts Hall? Especially in the face of the powerful Murong family.

If this aroused the suspicion of the Murong family, the situation would only get worse.

"My lord, I don't think this matter is that simple, although the Murong family has something to do with this matter, it may not be the real mastermind behind it. ”

Suddenly, Ji Chongwen hesitated to speak.

"Why do you say that?"

Mo Fan looked over suspiciously.

"Because Cheng Zhi is this person! The information clearly states that this person is greedy for money and lustful, and he once made a big mistake because of this and was removed from the military department.

To put it simply, this kind of person's shortcomings are too obvious, and he is too easy to be taken advantage of.

Moreover, the military department and the finance department have never dealt with each other, and this is the palace inside, even if it is the Murong family, its influence is very limited, and Lord Zhang, the captain of the North Gate, may not buy their face. ”

Ji Chongwen pointed to the information in his hand, handed it to Mo Fan, and explained his reasons in detail.

The removal of the military department means the abolition of the establishment, which includes the number.

This is not a trivial matter, under normal circumstances, the number of the military department is unique, starting from the recruit, even if the person dies in the future, or disappears for various reasons, the number will not be eliminated, but will be kept permanently.

But this Cheng Zhi was removed from the military department, which shows how big the thing he committed at the beginning, which seems to be a rhythm that even the military department can't hold.
