Combined with Fan Lin's previous words, Wang Xiaolai seemed to understand something.

He looked in the direction of the palace and let out a meaningful sigh, this matter, the eight achievements are the empress's secret box operation.

It's just that Wang Xiaolai is puzzled, how can the empress calculate that Fan Lin will definitely find herself?

In fact, this time it was really Wang Xiaolai who wronged the empress, and it was not the empress who supported Fan Lin, but the old minister Liu Maolin.

After three dynasties and more than 30 years of ups and downs in officialdom, Liu Maolin's way of being an official has already been practiced.

Just like Wang Xiaolai and Fan Lin, Liu Maolin believes that it is far better to let Fan Lin step down than to let Fan Lin continue to stay in this position.

Because of this, when Fan Lin found him Liu Maolin, he would recruit Fan Lin and let Fan Lin come to Wang Xiaolai.

At this time, Fan Lin raised his head, and he could vaguely remember the conversation between Liu Maolin and him last night.

···

"Now, in the entire Sui Yang, as long as Your Majesty doesn't speak, except for Wang Xiaolai, no one can save you, and only Wang Xiaolai dares to ignore Your Majesty's will and help you, of course, that kid is not a master to be messed with, you have to be prepared for this fate that you caused him to fall into." Liu Maolin, who was wrapped in a thin blanket, sighed after listening to Fan Lin's complaints.

"Old Xiangguo, aren't you like Your Majesty, sincerely making things difficult for me? No matter what I say, it's also the book of the Ministry of Industry, you let me go and bow my head to Wang Xiaolai, where will I put my face from now on? Well? Fan Lin said.

Liu Maolin glanced at Fan Lin: "Is face important or official position important?" As far as I know, Wang Xiaolai just took a batch of money from His Majesty's soft and hard bubbles, and he is getting rich, you go and beg him, let him help you out of this money, not only does not violate Your Majesty's will, but also keeps your own official position, it is nothing more than a crime, do you still think that you have lost it? ”

Fan Lin was very embarrassed: "Having said that, but, but." ”

Liu Maolin sighed: "I told you the way, as for whether to listen or not, it is completely your personal choice, come, send off guests." ”

As soon as Liu Maolin's words fell, a housekeeper came in and made a gesture of invitation to Fan Lin: "My lord, please." ”

Fan Lin sighed, got up helplessly and hugged his fists, and then said goodbye.

After sending Fan Lin away, Liu Maolin sat where he was and didn't move, but stared at the ceiling in a daze.

After a while, the housekeeper came back, and when he saw Liu Maolin motionless, he shouted softly: "Master, master? ”

Liu Maolin came back to his senses: "Ah, what's wrong?" ”

"If you want to rest, go to bed and rest, it's easy to get cold here."

Liu Maolin waved his hand: "No, go to bed and rest now, I have to get up again in a while, how troublesome." ”

Liu Maolin's words didn't make the housekeeper understand, but Liu Maolin knew in his heart that after Fan Lin left, it wouldn't be long before someone from the palace came back and called him in. In that case, why do you have to toss back and forth?

Liu Maolin thought so, but things didn't go down according to the script he had in mind...

···

"Lord Fan, Lord Fan?" Wang Xiaolai shouted twice.

Fan Lin came back to his senses and was busy.

I saw Wang Xiaolai smile and said, "Master Fan, what's wrong with you, why did you run away." ”

"No, no."

Wang Xiaolai moved his neck, sat firmly, and said, "I know everything about you, if I help you, I have this ability." ”

Fan Lin was overjoyed at the time: "Brother Wang agreed?" ”

Wang Xiaolai pressed down on his hand: "Don't get excited, don't get excited, I'll help you, but you have to have conditions." ”

Fan Lin was stunned: "Conditions, what conditions?" ”

Wang Xiaolai said: "Yes, I got some silver from His Majesty, but the silver is used to invest in the paper mill, and it belongs to the government's money, so I can't move it." ”

Fan Lin shrunk his neck at that time.

Wang Xiaolai continued: "However, when I went to Silla, His Royal Highness Suizhu rewarded me with some treasures, although it is said that there are not many left, but I can still take out 30,000 taels." ”

"Really?" Fan Lin was overjoyed.

Wang Xiaolai nodded: "But there is one thing I have to figure out first." ”

"What's the matter?"

"That is, why should I help you? Helped you, what good do I have? Although I am a person in the Suiyang system, I am also a businessman, thirty thousand taels, that is not a small amount, Your Majesty's current monthly expenses are only three thousand taels a year, this point, Brother Fan should not know, right? ”

When Fan Lin heard this, he said in his heart, sure enough, he knew that this matter was not so easy.

"Then what did Brother Wang say? I say yes. Fan Lin said.

Wang Xiaolai heard this? laughed at the time: "You really said yes?" ”

Fan Lin nodded hurriedly.

I saw Wang Xiaolai and said, "You said this sentence yourself, I didn't force you." ”

As soon as he heard this, Fan Lin's heart was stirred in time: "What do you mean, look at this situation, do you want to blackmail me fiercely?" ”

At that moment, Fan Lin smiled bitterly: "Whatever Brother Wang says, this is all my willingness, voluntary." ”

Wang Xiaolai looked at him with an unfathomable look: "Really? ”

Fan Lin nodded distressedly.

It's almost funny, Wang Xiaolai didn't bother to continue to play him, so he said: "Okay, okay, look at you scared like that, I don't want to drink your blood and eat your flesh, I just want to say, my 30,000 taels of silver is not blown by the wind, and you can't take it for nothing, right?" ”

Fan Lin nodded and sighed, there is no way, who will ask for it, and so far, except for this little bastard, who dares to help himself? As long as you help yourself, it is the crime of deceit.

"These 30,000 taels of silver, you can't let me pay for it, you have to fill it for me." Wang Xiaolai said.

When Fan Lin heard that it was a trivial matter, he slapped him at the time: "No problem, I know this." ”

"Don't be in a hurry to agree yet, there are still conditions."

"Conditions?"

Wang Xiaolai snorted: "From ancient times to the present, how many people who borrow money have you seen who do not pay interest?" ”

"Huh?" Fan Lin was stunned, what do you mean, is this still trying to blackmail me?

Wang Xiaolai pursed his lips: "Don't worry, I don't want much, just 10,000 taels of interest." ”

Fan Lin stood up at that time: "Ten thousand taels is not much?" ”

Wang Xiaolai glanced at him: "Twenty thousand taels." ”

Fan Lin sat down again: "Ten thousand is ten thousand, Brother Wang is really a real person." ”

"Haha, also, it's still wide." Wang Xiaolai said shyly.

Fan Lin has the heart to strangle this bastard.

"Other than that, you owe me a favor." Wang Xiaolai said.

"And favors?" Fan Lin was a little angry.

Wang Xiaolai looked at him: "What, not happy?" ”

"Willingly, willingly, Brother Wang, what you said is, if there is anything you need my help with, I promise to do it." Fan Lin is like an old dog.

Wang Xiaolai nodded with satisfaction: "Don't worry, what exactly do you want to do, I haven't thought about it yet, I'll tell you when I think about it." ”

Fan Lin: "··· When will you hand over the money for me, Brother Wang, it's almost time? ”

Wang Xiaolai stretched: "Hmm! Don't worry, haven't you signed a contract yet, otherwise when you turn your face, who will I cry to? ”

"Hey, contract, what's that?" Fan Lin was stunned.

Wang Xiaolai stood up and looked, and on Lu Gongyou's desk, he found a blank piece of paper, took it, and slapped it in front of Fan Lin: "Come, I said you write." ”

Titus was wronged, but if there was a little way, Fan Lin would not come to Wang Xiaolai, a bastard, for help.

Carrying the pen, Fan Lin took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and smiled: "Okay." ”

"There is, Fan Lin, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Xiang, the Wangcheng Guards, and Wang Xiaolai, the flag officer of the Chinese army, borrowed 30,000 taels of silver, and the interest was 10,000 taels..."

Fan Lin picked up a pen and wrote on the side.

Wang Xiaolai couldn't stop reminding: "I'm watching it, don't you plan to play tricks, do you know?" ”

Fan Lin turned his head and smiled: "Brother Wang, what did you say, how dare I?" ”

If Fan Lin knew that Wang Xiaolai was illiterate, he was afraid that he would have just ticked a few strokes for him to show the evil anger in his heart.

"Both parties, there is no dispute, from today, the contract will come into effect, parentheses, and all the right of interpretation belongs to Wang Xiaolai."

After writing this, Fan Lin looked back at Wang Xiaolai.

"Write the date, draw it, and you're done." Wang Xiaolai did not forget to remind.
