The smile on Lord Liang's face couldn't be contained at all, at this time he was trotting towards Mo Lan in high spirits, Mo Lan saw him with a happy face, "Why, what makes you so happy?" ”

"Good news, great news! There's a big deal this time! The official Shangshu couldn't hide his joy, Mo Lan pointed to the hall, "Let's go in and talk." ”

Tea Kung Fu, Mo Lan has already heard everything from the Ministry of Shangshu, in general, there is a merchant from Jiangnan who wants to find a relationship in the capital to buy an official position for his son.

It's just that he is obviously a stunned young man, and he has nothing to do with it in the capital, so he asked so arrogantly when he saw some merchant friends in the capital.

It's not a secret that he sells his official beard, but no one will say it loudly, otherwise why would this merchant be a stunned young man.

After hearing this, Mo Lan felt a little unreliable, "Did you find out his identity, he was just a Jiangnan merchant, and his behavior was so stupid, this king felt that it was not very reliable......"

"His Royal Highness King Lan!" Seeing that Mo Lan was about to refuse, the official was too late to drink the tea, so he put it down, and then looked at Mo Lan in surprise, "His Royal Highness King Lan, this time is different from the past, support the bold and starve the timid, this time I came to you, naturally there is my reason, this merchant from the south of the Yangtze River, the price is ...... It's this number. ”

The official Shangshu said, cautiously stretching out five fingers, Mo Lan didn't pay attention to it at first, "Five thousand taels? ”

The official Shangshu smiled, "How can it be five thousand taels, it's five hundred thousand taels!" ”

Mo Lan finally paid attention to it now, 500,000 taels? He is now short of silver, if he can have 500,000 taels, he can survive this period of time, and if Tong Xinrou's side succeeds again, with the great help of Tong Fu, he will definitely be able to reverse the disadvantage!

Thinking of this, Mo Lan's heart was a little hot, but he was careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, he was still a little suspicious of this Jiangnan merchant who suddenly appeared, "This merchant appeared too coincidentally, have you carefully investigated his origin?" And why did he propose to buy an official position with 500,000 taels? ”

Hearing this, the official Shangshu smiled, "His Royal Highness King Lan can rest assured, aren't you still at ease when I do something?" When this person came, I had already checked his news, and I waited for it to be clear, and then I came to find His Highness, Your Highness, please see. ”

As he spoke, the official Shangshu took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and spread it out in front of Mo Lan, Mo Lan stared at the paper, and then picked it up to see that this piece of paper was the news of a merchant named Ruan Jingning.

Ruan Jingning is a well-known ceramic merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, because the commercial hub of the east and other countries is opened, and the ceramics are sent to other countries to sell, and he makes a lot of money, but there is a loser in the family.

A month or two ago, I inadvertently molested a woman, but I didn't expect it to be the daughter of the local magistrate who stabbed the hornet's nest this time, although his family is rich, but as the saying goes, the people don't fight with the officials.

No matter how rich he is, he has no official relationship, and the county magistrate will bite his son, and he is bound to put his son in prison, this person named Ruan Jingning is an old man who has a son, how can he be willing to let his son go to prison?

This is not to spend money and find a way to bribe the boss of the county, but it won't last long to ask like this, the word "official protection" is not a joke, and soon this boss changed his mind, Ruan Jingning knew that he was opening his mouth in the lion, but there was no way, he wanted to go without taking the money to smash it, and his son was arrested.

But it can't go on like this, this is a bottomless pit, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, who will fill the hole of greed?

I don't know who gave Ruan Jingning a trick, let him go to Beijing to find a relationship to buy an official, as long as the official position is bigger than others, he has the ability to suppress this matter, thinking that he wants to do it once and for all, Ruan Jingning is also willing to give up, and directly gave out 500,000 taels of gold in one go, wanting an official position of more than five grades.

After reading it, Mo Lan had to admit that he was also a little moved, if it was true, it was not impossible for Ruan Jingning to smash 500,000 taels of gold leaves.

The official secretary would observe the words and looks, and saw that Mo Lan's face had changed, so he hurriedly asked out loud, this Ruan Jing would rather be a big fat sheep, but he couldn't just let it go.

Mo Lan pondered for a moment, "It's hard to determine whether this Ruan Jingning is true or not, so let's bring him to meet with me, and I'll see for myself, otherwise I can't rest assured." ”

Mo Lan still became a little cautious, there was no way, he had nothing now, there was no way out, he couldn't afford to lose, the only chip he had in his hand was the name of King Lan, if he made another mistake, I am afraid that this name would not be saved.

Children's House.

Tao Li'er and Tong Yimeng came back from Zuo Rongrong, Tao Li'er mainly went to comfort Zuo Rongrong a few words, reassuring her that she would definitely take her back, and she couldn't rest when she came back, so the wind came in, "Miss Tao, the fish is hooked, what should I do next?" ”

Hearing this, Tao Li'er sneered, "Of course, I put a long line to catch big fish, and give them the benefits, hehe." ”

In one of the most famous inns in the capital, people come and go downstairs, and life is boiling, but the Tianzi No. 1 room of this inn is so quiet that you can hear a needle falling.

The official book sat next to a square table and drank tea leisurely, and a middle-aged man with a big belly and a very rich figure sat opposite the official department book a little stiffly, his eyes revealed a fine light, but he didn't know how to speak after squirming a few fat lips.

"That, Liang ...... Lord Liang...... That last time you said to the villain...... Any news? ”

Hearing this, Shangshu finally put down the cup in his hand, raised his eyes and glanced at the person in front of him, and said incomprehensibly: "I said Boss Ruan, are you urging the official to do this?" ”

Boss Ruan hurriedly begged for mercy, "Ouch, Lord Liang!" The villain dares to urge you! The villain's son's life is about to die, I, I'm not in a hurry......"

"Okay, okay, this official knows, you are such an only son, it is understandable, Si-but you also know that this begging for someone to do things has never been costless, not to mention, I don't know how many times I have run for you, you just say that His Royal Highness King Lan, that is the real royal family, this ordinary person can access?"

Boss Ruan kept his eyes on the official book, and when he heard what he said, he didn't know what he wanted, so he quickly turned around and turned out a box from a drawer, which looked very heavy, and then put the wooden box on the table, opened the box, and a touch of golden light shot out, and the corner of the official's eyes touched it and could no longer leave.

A box full of gold bars!
