In his previous life, Xiao Fan understood a truth: a penny forced heroes to death.

In other words, heroes have a very wimply way to die, - die poor.

Heroes should die generously and tragically, and are poor heroes still heroes?

Xiao Fan didn't know if he was a hero or not, but he felt that since he had defeated the world-famous northern hero Zhu Di, and the person who defeated the hero, of course, he was even more a hero, and he would die one day in the future, he set countless ways to die for himself, but it never included dying alive and poor, that would be too embarrassing.

The British government has encountered an unprecedented economic crisis, and the grandfather of the country is too good to live, and for a while, he was generous and forced himself to the situation of bankruptcy, Xiao Fan himself felt a little bastard.

Several ladies in the family are virtuous and virtuous, in recent years, they have received silver money and jewelry, bribes of various names, as well as reasonable and legal ice and charcoal, etc., most of which were used by thrush to buy land to buy houses and repair gardens, the so-called business in these years is nothing more than opening shops to do business, in addition to a large number of purchases of land and houses, for the future generations to accumulate ancestral property, thrush they do this is understandable, all the big families in this era are doing this.

The problem now is that all the working capital in the house has been sent clean by Xiao Fan, and the land bought will not be profitable for a while, and the year is about to close, what should I do? The dignified state mansion, the slaves, the handymen, the gardeners, the cooks, the red envelopes of the maids, and the personal relations of the princes and ministers of the capital and so on...... What to do?

The living can't be suffocated by urine, find a way to get money!

How do you get the money? Of course, it is not advisable to openly solicit bribes from subordinate officials, Grandpa Guo wants to save face, and he will not do anything that looks too ugly, and the only option is extortion.

- It is impossible to expect Xiao Fan to come up with a decent idea, every time he rolls his eyes, he always thinks of bad ideas, Xiao Fan finally has doubts about his character,...... Am I not a good person?

This conclusion is so funny, how is it possible!

Extortion can't find those clear streams, now is the honeymoon period of clear streams and annihilating the party, it is rare for everyone to hate the same enemy and conspire with political enemies in a harmonious period, if they are blackmailed, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no chaos on the way, besides, the little money in the Qingliu minister's house, the grandfather of the country can't look down on it at all.

The target was easy to find, and Xiao Fan almost didn't think about it and locked on a person with a big head, as big as a wronged head, that person had a big bearded face, a loyal appearance, and a power leaning towards the government and the opposition.

After returning home, the thrush returned to the inner courtyard with a sad face, and Xiao Fan ordered someone to call Cao Yi over.

Cao Yi is an old bachelor, on Chinese New Year's Eve, he was scratching his ears and cheeks alone and wondering where to go for a meal, when he heard the British minister's call, Cao Yi couldn't help but be overjoyed, no, the meal is coming.

Pretending to carry a few bags of gifts to the door, Cao Yi just entered the flower hall, Xiao Fan split his head and asked: "Has that guy Ji Gang done anything hurtful recently?" ”

Cao Yi thought about it, and quickly replied: "A few days ago, you washed the blood of the Zhenfu Division Yamen, Ji Gang was so scared that he didn't dare to be on an errand for a few days, hiding at home and pretending to be sick, this guy was scared by you, he is very honest recently, I haven't heard of him doing anything bad......"

"Didn't do anything bad? No way! If bad people don't do bad things, are they still called bad people? Does it still make sense for him to live? Xiao Fan looked incredulous.

Cao Yi rolled his eyes: "Don't you live well......"

“…………”

........................ "Think again, think about it, I'm going to take him as a handle." ”

Cao Yi thought about it for a long time, but still shook his head: "I really can't think of it, people have been good recently, you can't make a black pot out of thin air to buckle his head, right?" ”

"I believe that the girl in the Qinglou is good, I believe in the sow on the tree, and I believe in the discipline of the gang, I will never believe it! Think about it again, even if it's a bad thing related to Ji Gang. ”

Cao Yi pondered for a long time, and finally hesitated: "There is an incident recently, before we return to Beijing, Wang Yu, the left servant of the household department, was arrested by Ji Gang and thrown into the edict...... Although Wang Yu's death is not the hand of Ji Gang, how much does it have to do with him? ”

Xiao Fan thought for a moment, and then slapped his thigh fiercely: "Okay!" Let's make a fuss about it! ”

"What do you want to do?"

"Get rich."

On the evening of Chinese New Year's Eve, families have a reunion dinner at home with joy, and colorful lanterns and the sound of firecrackers dot the night of this ancient Yanjing.

Ji Gang, the deputy commander of Jinyiwei, took the name card of the British Duke Xiao Fan and rode a blue sedan chair to the gate of the Guogong Mansion.

Xiao Fan summoned him, Ji Gang didn't dare not come, the bloody smell of the Yamen of the Pacification Division had not dissipated, in Ji Gang's heart, Xiao Fan's image had become a blue-faced fanged, hideous-looking, bloodthirsty and indiscriminate demon.

Today, the demon was in a good mood, and he actually invited Ji Gang to his house for the New Year...... The moment Ji Gang received the famous post, he was in a terrible mood.

Although the weasel is not happy to give the chicken a New Year's greeting, what is the chicken giving a new year's greeting to the weasel? Do you add food to his table?

If Xiao Fan is a vicious dog, then he Ji Gang is a lively meat bun.

The meat bun is now standing in front of the kennel door and wandering in pain...... There will be no good meeting, there will be no good banquet, Xiao Fan will summon him regardless of the rules of officialdom for the New Year, there must be nothing good, Ji Gang will not be so naïve, thinking that Xiao Fan wants to ease the current tense relationship with him, that is too nonsense.

After standing in front of the Guogong Mansion for a long time, Ji Gang finally gritted his teeth and went in.

More than 50,000 people in the whole Beijing Division know that I have entered the Guogong Mansion, what do you dare to do with me?

put this cruel sentence in my heart, no matter how I look at it, it looks like a courageous man.

In the flower hall of Xiao Mansion, the British prince Xiao Fan warmly entertained Ji Gang, the second-in-command of Jinyiwei.

After greeting each other, the two exchanged views on the domestic and foreign situations of common concern, and reached a consensus on the work plan and personnel arrangements for the coming year...... With all that out of the way, it's time to get to business.

Xiao Fan looked at Ji Gang's seemingly respectful face coldly, and sighed secretly in his heart.

I really don't want to block others for the Chinese New Year, but the problem is ...... My country is so poor that I'm going bankrupt!

"Ki-sama ......"

"The lower official is here." Ji Gang bowed.

"I heard that the king of the left servant of the household department is blunt to death?" Xiao Fan said unhurriedly.

Ji Gang was stunned for a moment, what he said...... Is it a point or a small talk? What did he mean when he suddenly said Wang Yu?

Thinking about it, Ji Gang didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly replied: "Yes, Wang Yu was bribed by the vassal king privately, and there were many lawless things during his tenure. ”

Xiao Fan smiled and said, "Okay!" Well dead! Like this kind of pest in the court, if one dies, there will be one less, and the country can be as stable as Mount Tai and the society will last for 10,000 years. ”

Ji Gang became more and more shocked when he heard this, and actually said that Wang Yu died well, didn't this guy want to overturn the case for Wang Yu?

"Grandpa Guo has a high opinion, and the lower officials agree very much." Ji Gang hurriedly agreed.

Xiao Fan nodded, the smile on his face became deeper and deeper, and Leng Buding suddenly asked, "You took Wang Dull down, right?" ”

Ji Gang's face showed a slight expression, since he said that Wang Yu died well, it must be a credit to win Wang Du, right?

"Grandpa Yuguo, Wang Yu is exactly what the lower officials take."

Xiao Fan was silent for a moment, and suddenly laughed, smiled very sweetly, and was very happy.

"It's good that you take it, yes, yes...... Ha ha. ”

Ji Gang was so laughed by Xiao Fan that his scalp was numb, and he looked at him in confusion, and his heart couldn't help but be inexplicable.

"Master Ji, there is something to ...... Ahem, I really don't know what to say. ”

Ji Gang hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The lower official is loyal to the grandfather of the country, if the grandfather of the country has orders, it is okay to say anything." ”

"Don't you dare to command, Master Ji, you are fast......" Xiao Fan sighed deeply.

Ji Gang was taken aback and said: "The lower official is stupid, what does Grandpa Guo mean by this?" ”

"Maybe Master Ji doesn't know, that Wang Yu was quite poor during his lifetime, he borrowed a sum of silver from his own government more than a year ago, and after his country's fair rebellion returned to Beijing, he was planning to ask Wang Yu to ask for the silver he owed, you know, although the country's public business is large, the expenses are not small, and it is very stressful to eat with so many mouths up and down......" Xiao Fan's tone was very painful.

Ji Gang: "............"

"Yesterday, I learned that this Wang Yu actually committed something and went to prison, I was in a hurry, and ordered someone to go to the palace to investigate, but the next person went to the palace and came back to report, saying that Wang Yu's house had already been copied by your Lord Ji, and it was copied cleanly, and there was not even a mouse left......" Xiao Fan looked up at Ji Gang, with a smile on his face, but his expression was a little dissatisfied: "Lord Ji, are you copying the house too anxious?" ”

Ji Gang opened his mouth wide: "Xiaguan...... Xiaguan ......"

I muttered a few words, but I couldn't say a whole word.

Xiao Fan then sighed and said: "Copy the house, copy it, at least the prince still has a trace of illusion, as long as the person is still there, he will have to return the silver to me, it is a matter of course to repay the debt, Lord Ji, are you right?" ”

"This ......"

Xiao Fan suddenly slapped his thigh fiercely, and his tone became intense: "But who knows, this Wang Blunt actually committed suicide!" Originally, it was none of my business whether he died or not, but he still owed the silver to his father-in-law, and when he died, his family members were exiled for thousands of miles, or entered the teaching workshop for memory, who will pay back this silver? Is this account just a bad one? When has the national government suffered such a dark loss? Master Ji, are you right? ”

"Grandpa Guo...... It is very true. ”

Xiao Fan paused, suddenly raised his eyes and squinted at Ji Gang, and said with a meaningful smile: "It is said that Lord Ji raided Wang Yu's house and gained a lot?" ”

Ji Gang: "............"

Having said that, he finally understood what Xiao Fan meant!

Fuck it! Extort! **Naked blackmail!

Sure enough, it's a Hongmen feast!

Ji Gang was so angry, how could there be such a No. 1 thing in the Ming Dynasty!

Angry, Ji Gang knew that Xiao Fan was terrible, and even if he was full of anger in his chest, he didn't dare to show it in the slightest.

With a plop, Ji Gang knelt down towards Xiao Fan, and his tone was a little sad and indignant: "Grandpa Guo Mingjian!" Wang Yu's house was indeed copied by the lower officials, but Wang Yu's family was poor, there was only an old wife and a pair of children, three or two servants, and the total family property was only 100 taels of silver. ”

In the end, Ji Gang cried a little. He dared to swear to the sky, the raid on Wang Yu's house really didn't get any oil and water, the old bastard who should have killed a thousand knives was really a clean official, and his family was so poor that it was as if he had suffered a disaster, miserable and depressed.

Xiao Fan's brows gradually furrowed: "In this way, could it be that my country has misunderstood?" ”

Ji Gang hurriedly raised his head, and was about to nod, but he happened to meet Xiao Fan's smiling face, the smile on his face was as gentle and elegant as usual, but there were two cold lights in his eyes.

Ji Gang was shocked, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out behind his back.

Xiao Fan, this bastard, has made up his mind to knock me off, and he called me to add to the blockage during the New Year...... Since Grandpa Guo opened this mouth, no matter whether what he said was true or not, Ji Gang did not dare to object, let alone debunk it, this is officialdom, with Xiao Fan's current status, he can destroy or even reformulate the rules of the game in officialdom, but he Ji Gang does not have this ability, he can only play according to the rules of the game formulated by Xiao Fan.

After figuring out the stakes, Ji Gang immediately changed his words: "Grandpa Guo did not misunderstand, although the cash obtained by Wang Yu's family was only a hundred taels, he took a lot of bribes, and his family took all the silver to buy land and open a store, if it was sold, it would be a huge amount of money......

Xiao Fan breathed a long sigh of relief, and said with a relieved smile: "That's good, I thought that borrowing his silver was a waste, so let's do it, my lord won't let Lord Ji work in vain, I just need the principal of the silver that Wang Yu owes me, the interest will be counted, and the rest will be given to you, whether Lord Ji keeps it for himself or hands it over to the treasury, the lord of the country doesn't ask, how about it?" It's not easy for everyone to ...... for the New Year."

Ji Gang's big furry face twitched a few times, and he lowered his head and said, "Xiaguan...... Dare not die. I don't know how much silver Wang Yu owes to the grandfather of the country during his lifetime? The lower official sent someone to send it to the grandfather of the country. ”

Xiao Fan laughed, waved his hand casually, and said lightly: "Master Ji is polite, a little money, it's not worth a ......."

Ji Gang was like hearing Xianle, the whole person softened, it doesn't matter if I have a little money, just spend money to eliminate disasters and buy medicine for this bastard...... Who knew that Xiao Fan's next sentence sent Ji Gang into the eighteenth layer of hell.

“…… It's only 200,000 taels of silver, not much. ”

Bang!

Ji Gang's body was unstable, and he planted his head on the jade floor of the flower hall.
