The next day, a few uninvited guests came to the Shouting Marquis Mansion to ask to see the Marquis Liu, who had been in the limelight recently, and Liu Fan politely received them in the side hall. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

They are the brothel shopkeepers who have been raided by Liu Fan in recent days. These shopkeepers have one thing in common, that is, their backstage background is not very deep, and it can be said that they are relatively close to pure commercialization. - Liu Fan still kept an eye on it, and sent someone to find out the details before the raid, and these few companies were all small characters who would not cause trouble for themselves, as for those high-ranking ministers in the court, as well as the hidden His Royal Highness the Prince, Liu Fan didn't even touch the industries they were involved in, which is why Liu Fan dared to make such a fool of himself, but there was no official to impeach him. Since the interests have not been lost in the slightest, the bureaucracy will certainly not be idle and take the initiative to provoke Liu Taisui, who is deeply favored by the emperor, and Liu Fan and them have maintained this very delicate temporary balance situation.

And these shopkeepers who came to the door, Liu Fan withdrew all the subordinates, and said a word to them mysteriously, and the few people who were originally sad suddenly left with a relaxed expression.

Of course, Liu Fan still accepted the filial piety that should be there, after all, well, the life of a clean official is not easy, not to mention a "clean official" like Liu Fan, who has to repay an inexplicable extra "mortgage loan" every month, and the creditor is the owner of Changle.

In the imperial study room of the Great Chu Palace, Xiang Jingwu was "furious" again.

"Smack!" Xiang Jingwu slapped the royal case fiercely and said angrily, "It's just nonsense!" I asked you to manage the brothel in the capital, and that's how you did it? ”

Liu Fan trembled with fright, and quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty! Wechen ...... Wechen Grievance ...... Uh, Wechen did his best! ”

Xiang Jingwu said angrily: "You did your best? Don't you understand my intentions? Don't pretend to be confused, with your cleverness, it's impossible not to see my intentions. ”

Liu Fan said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, Wechen is stupid, I really don't understand your intentions, how about you give Wechen a hint again?" ”

Xiang Jingwu sneered: "Be smart, everyone can play, but if you are as perfect as you, I'm afraid you are the only one in the world." ”

Liu Fan smiled happily and replied happily: "Thank you for the emperor's compliment......"

Then he raised his head and said in a daze: "What did the emperor say...... It's a compliment to Weichen, right? ”

Xiang Jingwu smiled angrily: "You, be careful of self-defeating, being smart is mistaken by being smart!" It's not good to be too honest, but it's not good to be too slippery...... Like you, if you are clever anytime and anywhere, it usually doesn't end well. ”

Liu Fan immediately said honestly: "The emperor has taught a lesson...... The emperor's intentions, Weichen still knows a little bit about it, one is to sweep away those friends and kill their arrogance; The second is to let Wechen take this opportunity to establish prestige in front of the ministers, and pave the way for the emperor to reuse Wechen in the future. Your Majesty, did Weichen guess wrong? ”

Xiang Jingwu turned his anger into a smile: "It seems that you are not stupid, since you know my intentions, why don't you do what I want?" Look at what you've been doing recently, you haven't touched those brothels with a big backstage behind you, and you've checked some small backgrounds, so what's the use of checking the method, even if you check it for three or five years? ”

Liu Fan said with a smile: "Wechen is naturally timid, so he is afraid that there will be many people who will offend, and a large number of killers will be at the door of Wechen's house every day, and Wechen will not be able to live this day......"

Xiang Jingwu smiled coldly: "You are so bold that you can cover the sky, why are you so modest?" It seems that Shoutinghou is tired of being an official, and by the way, he wants to do more money-making business, right? For example, the owner of a brothel? ”

Liu Fan was taken aback, and then smiled bitterly: "I really can't hide anything from the emperor, Weichen does mean something......"

With a roll of his eyes, Liu Fan suddenly said with great interest: "Why don't the emperor also come in?" Let's work together, split the account fifty-fifty, isn't the emperor also short of money to spend? You haven't repaired a garden in years, have you? It's been a long time since you've given gold and silver jewelry to the concubines in your harem, right? Is there a sense of shame in a man's heart that makes you feel depressed? Don't worry, as long as our Lichun Courtyard is opened, all problems will be solved, we have a fixed income, the emperor, you will definitely be able to get back the feeling of being a good man, uh, of course, you are also a good man now, well, Weichen means that a man with money is a man among men...... "The more Liu Fan said, the more proud he became, if he pulled the emperor's uncle in, he couldn't just call it Lichun Courtyard in the future, what is it called? Royal Spring Garden?

"Shut up!" Xiang Jingwu was furious, "What are you talking nonsense? I am the king of a country, and I have partnered with you to open a brothel? Ridiculous! ”

Liu Fan suddenly realized: Yes, buddy got carried away when he talked about making money, how could the emperor's uncle and prospective father-in-law partner with me to do this? Miscalculated.

Shrinking his neck, Liu Fan smiled dryly: "...... The emperor is angry, what Weichen said just now is for fun, you must not take it seriously, just listen to it as a joke, you know, Weichen has always been a person with a great sense of humor......"

Xiang Jingwu snorted fiercely, and said without anger: "Remember to do a good job, move seriously, don't fool me with those small fish and shrimp, don't be afraid of offending people, I will support you in the back, I want to see who will be so anxious that he can't sit still, and he will be the first to jump out and impeach you." ”

Liu Fan nodded helplessly, Xiang Jingwu said this nicely, in fact, he was using him as a gunman, and it is estimated that he will offend many people after this errand is completed, and even offend His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who gave him a lot of silver.

"Just step down if it's okay, I'm tired." Xiang Jingwu said lightly.

"Uh...... Your Majesty, Weichen has one more thing...... "Liu Fan has some period of Ai Ai."

Xiang Jingwu frowned impatiently: "If you have something, hurry up." ”

Liu Fan's expression suddenly became twisted, and he drew circles on the ground with one foot uneasily: "...... What's that, if you almost marry your daughter to Weichen, you can get ......"

Xiang Jingwu's brows furrowed deeper and deeper: "You are a ...... Propose? ”

Liu Fan hurriedly nodded, revealing a shy look: "The so-called fair lady, gentleman ......" Liu Fan stopped when he said this, and he suddenly felt that this sentence was not appropriate. - Qinghe is not a lady, and he has nothing to do with the word "gentleman". I have to say, this is the sadness of crossing.

So Liu Fan changed his words and said, "...... The water is a matter of course, Your Majesty, the water is a matter of course! Weichen and the two princesses are more in love than Jinjian, a match made in heaven, and you are even more affectionate with the emperor, this, well, isn't it time to handle it? ”

Xiang Jingwu smiled and said, "I look at you, it doesn't seem to be sincere." ”

Liu Fan was stunned for a moment, and said cautiously: "Could it be that the royal marriage is a daughter, and the man still has to pay a bride price?" Your Majesty, Weichen is indeed a poor Qing official. ”

Xiang Jingwu snorted: "Your whole person has fallen into the eyes of money, and you are embarrassed to claim to be a Qing official?" Handle the errand I gave you in advance, and then talk about your relationship with Qinghe and An Ning! ”
