Chapter 368: Prescient

Three hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver, disappeared without a trace overnight? You fool me, 350,000 taels, nearly 20 tons of weight, how can it be so easy to pull away, do you think you are driving a truck?

When Xu Wei saw his expression, he knew that he didn't believe it, shook his head helplessly, and said with a bitter smile: "At first, the old man didn't believe it, but this matter was personally reported by Shandong Eight Hundred Miles Kuaima, and they are all loyal and reliable people, so we can't believe it." Besides, who would joke about this headless thing? ”

Seeing that Lao Xu was so anxious that his head was sweating, Lin Wanrong's expression gradually changed. 350,000 taels of silver are gone, damn, this is cutting off the food and salary of Li Tai's army, without this silver, he still has a fart with the Hu people, and he will starve to death.

Although he is quite dissatisfied with the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, he can't feed the blood and sweat of the people to the thieves, right? He snorted heavily, only Lao Tzu has always robbed other people's silver, and no one has dared to rob me.

"When is this news? Why haven't you heard about it yesterday? Have you told the emperor? Lin Wanrong asked cautiously. Without these 350,000 taels of silver, Li Tai had to rest, and the Hu people took the opportunity to invade the Central Plains in the south, coupled with internal disharmony, Dahua was really in danger. It's just that the old emperor is weak now, and he doesn't know if he can withstand this blow?

"It happened the night before yesterday, and the news was only delivered by Shandong Express last night, except for Shandong, only you know and I know. The emperor's side has not yet been given a chance to report. Xu Wei glanced at him and said.

The night before yesterday? Wasn't that the night before the old emperor's assassination? The emperor was assassinated here, the food was robbed over there, a conspiracy, a big conspiracy!

But. Something so big happened, why didn't Lao Xu rush to report to the emperor, but came to me first? Even if the money is robbed, it's none of my business. I'm just a small deputy attendant of the ministry, and there are dozens of others standing in line in front of me, not to mention that the ministry's ministry and the silver are not next to each other at all.

Xu Wei seemed to see through his thoughts, sighed and said: "It's not that I deliberately concealed it from the emperor, it's really a big matter, and if you're not careful, hundreds of heads will fall to the ground." What's more, this incident happened in Shandong againβ€”"

"Shandong? What's wrong with Shandong? Lin Wanrong said strangely.

"This is in Shandong, in Jining." Xu Wei sighed slightly, his face dazed.

"Jining? You mean Luo Ning? Oh. No, it's Lomin? Lin Wanrong jumped up suddenly, and at the same time felt ashamed in her heart. Why does Lao Tzu think of women first every time, and secondly, it is the right thing?

"It doesn't matter if it's Luo Min or Luo Ning." Xu Wei smiled bitterly: "If something happened in Jining, it would be a big case of 350,000 taels of silver, if you are the emperor." What will you do? ”

Lin Wanrong shivered in her heart, and she didn't have to say anything about it. Lao Luo Xiaoluo is finished, poor my little baby Ning'er, before he has time to enjoy the happiest thing in the world, he will die, no, this must not be allowed to happen. Thinking of this, he realized that Lao Xu did not report it for the time being under pressure, which was to buy time for Luo Min. It's saving the lives of Luo Min's family.

"Now you understand?" Xu Wei's smile was full of bitterness, he was helping Luo Min without pretending, at the cost of his own net worth.

Lin Wanrong gave a thumbs up and patted him on the shoulder: "Good brother, be righteous!" Lao Xu, you are enough buddy, I thank you on behalf of my father-in-law. ”

"I have been friends with Brother Luo for many years, and now that he is in trouble, how can I stand idly by? Besides, it's not a matter of thanksgiving now, it's about how to recover the money. Xu Wei shook his head and sighed: "When this happens, Brother Luo is far away in Jining, and there is no one to negotiate with the old man, only you, Brother Lin." Little brother, you are knowledgeable and resourceful, I believe you will have a way, I will be waiting for you here this morning. ”

Lao Xu's sycophant kung fu has come up, Lin Wanrong nodded and said: "Mr. Xu, I am not at the scene, even if I have great ability, I can't remotely solve the case." However, I, Lin someone, usually like to fool, never fool at critical times, Luo Ning is my girlfriend, Luo Min is my father-in-law, and my father-in-law's business is my business. It's okay if I can find the silver, but if I can't find it, even if I smash the pot and sell iron, I will save Ning'er's family - Mr. Xu, when the time comes, I will ask you to borrow 180,000 yuan, don't be stingy. ”

Xu Wei was stunned for a while, Brother Lin's mouth is really big, and his mouth is 180,000, not to mention me, even if it is the emperor's old man, it is not easy to take out 100,000 at once. However, a master of wealth accumulation like Brother Lin is a restaurant and a perfume, and it is not a problem to be worth hundreds of thousands.

Lin Wanrong smiled and snorted, talked to Lao Xu Hukan, and released the pressure in his heart, Ning'er wants to be saved, and the family wealth cannot be lost, otherwise, how will Lao Tzu support such wives in the future? Why do you have to face a dilemma every time, it's not easy to be a man.

"Brother Lin, what do you think we should do now?" Xu Wei said with a frown. He is the head of the household, if the 350,000 taels of silver really can't be recovered, the task of preparing the silver still has to be pressed on his head, and he can't run anyway.

"At the moment, we can't panic. Lord Xu, I'm going to wronged you now. Lin Wanrong said with a straight face.

Xu Wei looked at him puzzled: "Wronged, how to be wronged?!! ”

Lin Wanrong gritted her teeth and snorted: "You go to the palace now, report the facts to the emperor truthfully, word by word, honestly, and don't leave anything behind." "Regardless of whether the old emperor was really killing people or playing falsely just now, it is estimated that after listening to Xu Wei's news, if he doesn't really kill two, he will definitely not extinguish the fire, I hope he can hold on.

Xu Wei gasped, no wonder Brother Lin said that he was going to wronged me, this is not an ordinary grievance, it is fatal. The emperor was seriously injured yesterday, and he got the news today, and no one knows what will happen when the time comes. "Little Brother Lin, I've reported to the emperor now, Brother Luoβ€”" Xu Wei asked with a sullen face.

You want to hide it, can you hide it from the old man? He's an octopus with countless tentacles, what can hide from him? Lord Lin shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Xu, you have followed the emperor for many years, what do you think of the emperor?" ”

Xu Wei is the first strategist around the emperor, and he knows the emperor very well, and he sighed slightly when he heard the words, and summed it up in four simple words: "Unfathomable." ”

"Unfathomable! Well said. Mr. Xu, I can say unceremoniously, even the emperor knew it clearly when you were entangled with Sister Su a few times last night, do you believe it? Lin Wanrong said with a smile, but her face was full of seriousness.

Xu Wei's old face turned red, and after thinking about it carefully, his face was gloomy: "I understand what the little brother means, the emperor has countless eyes and ears, and this matter is absolutely impossible to hide from him." In this case, the old man will report to the emperor truthfully, if the emperor really wants to kill Brother Luo, even if I give up my life, I will save Brother Luo's family. ”

Lin Wanrong waved her hand and slowly paced two steps before turning around and saying, "Don't talk about it like this, things haven't come to that point yet." If you go to tell the emperor and the old man, you will say that I, Lin San, have made a package ticket, and within twenty days, I will definitely find the silver back. ”

"Twenty days? Is this too late? Xu Wei looked at him suspiciously and said, "In more than twenty days, Li Tai's army will set off." ”

Damn, is this Lao Xu really stupid or fake stupid, if I tell the emperor for twenty days, will he allow me twenty days? This is buying vegetables in the market, and if he only compresses half of my time, it will be a gift from God.

Xu Wei sighed, finally understood, and then said: "But, what if you can't find it within the specified time limit?" ”

"Can't find it back?" Lin Wanrong smiled bitterly and touched her nose: "To be honest, I haven't thought about the consequences yet." The worst thing is that I smash pots and sell iron, alas, I haven't counted our family's silver bills for a long time, and I haven't looked at Qiaoqiao's accounts, and I don't know if my recent income is positive or negative. , my official position is too small, and no one gives me gifts, otherwise, wouldn't it be easy to get 350,000 taels of silver? Lord Xu, if you don't want me to borrow money from you, you can tell the emperor to let him be promoted to my official, I am only greedy for 350,000 taels, and I don't want anything else! ”

Lao Xu laughed, and after talking to Brother Lin, he felt that the whole person was much more relaxed, as if there was nothing difficult in the world that could stump them.

"Then it's decided, the old man will go to the palace, oh, by the way, Brother Lin, why don't you enter the palace with me, with the emperor's appreciation of you, maybe you can delay it for a while?" Xu Wei was full of confidence, and it seemed that with his face in front of the emperor, he would be accurate.

Lord Lin smiled and said, "Do you think I'm stupid, going to see the emperor and waiting to be scolded?" ”

Xu Wei was stunned for a moment, good boy, isn't this scolding me, it's not weird, and I'm too lazy to bother with him, so he smiled and said, "Then what are you going to do?" ”

"My business is important." Master Lin had a solemn look on his face and muttered, "I'm going to see how Du Xiuyuan is doing with his military training - I admire myself myself, it's so prescient!" Don't let me down, fairy, my darling! ”

Watch Du Xiuyuan train soldiers? Is this a serious business? What kind of foresight, what kind of fairy, I can't understand what Brother Lin is talking about, Xu Wei shook his head, took a big step, and entered the palace to face the saint.
