On the highest floor of the Imperial Capital Cloud Palace, in the garden on the top floor, Rand faced the Emperor of the Empire, Zhang Chen, the great-great-grandson of the God Emperor.

After coming into this world, Rand had the illusion that the most powerful beings not only seemed to be very friendly, but also had no concern for their own safety. Over the past year or so, he has seen a lot of kings, emperors, gods, and legends, and most of the situations during this period are one-on-one interviews as they are today.

"If you ignore that they are all legends and demigods, they are indeed very approachable." Rand thought to himself.

The emperor glanced at Rand and said with a smile: "Even the Red Dragon Rock back then, after fighting with the bureaucrats of the imperial capital for hundreds of years, had to make a compromise and admit that the Dragon Kingdom belonged to the entire human empire, and you, a lord who had just reached a high level, actually dared to challenge them?" ”

"Your Majesty, I have no intention of challenging the bureaucracy, just as I don't think the bureaucracy wants to challenge the magic web."

"Heh, it's really a big tone." The emperor spoke casually.

Rand took out a metal plate from the spatial ring and said, "Your Majesty, I have some very interesting historical materials here that I would like to dedicate to you. ”

"Don't worry," said the Emperor absently, "Frank and Sir Hanfei are already outside the door, and you can speak your mind in front of them, and if you can convince them today, you may be able to avoid a catastrophe." ”

Rand didn't intend to whisper to the Emperor, and the two legendary legalists didn't keep him waiting long.

"Your Majesty, King Monchia......"

As soon as Han Fei wanted to salute, he was stopped by the muntjac: "Sir Han Fei, please say less, every time I listen to your speech, I always insist on falling asleep until the end!" ”

The Emperor glanced at the legendary lawmaker with a smile, and said, "You two, I already know what happened, Rand just said that there are some very interesting documents to show me, but I deliberately waited for the arrival of the two, so I might as well listen to him first." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Rand, who received the emperor's signal, took out a metal plate from the space ring, and the metal plate was distributed with neat and dense patterns.

"Your Majesty, I was given a document from the Goblin Age before I came, this document is the mid-term review document of the Imperial Supreme Council Audit Office for the Mogrok Starmine Fund,

In this document, an audit of the interstellar mine's operating funds during the first 100 years of operation was conducted.

The audit found that the fund's operating team was seriously corrupt, inefficient, self-enriching and nepotistic, and that they had long used the fund's public funds to acquire and push up the fund's stock price, bringing high profits to the fund's shareholders and management, and re-financializing the profits obtained, repeatedly increasing the financing leverage, and by the end of the audit period, the cost of each 1 million gold coins raised reached a staggering 2 million gold coins. ”

Rand respectfully handed the metal plate to the squire, who simply raised his hand, and the metal plate rose into the air with a weak glow.

The Emperor, Han Fei, and Frank are all legends, and they don't need special tools, just look at the light and probably know the contents of the metal plate.

"Sir Rand, this metal plate of yours has nothing to do with the current Finance Department!" Frank was quibbling, but even Rand could tell that he was a little lacking in confidence.

"Of course, as I said, this is only material from the Goblin Age tens of thousands of years ago, and I never thought that what happened in that fallen empire would be repeated today."

Rand smiled as he spoke, and suddenly blocked Frank's words, "But I would like to ask you to look at the appendix of this document, the audit found that the operation of the fund has set all kinds of outrageous conditions and grabbed improper benefits by providing financing services to other mechanical laboratories and factories.

Among the provisions listed in it, there are various forms such as stipulating the repayment of the gold coin system, increasing the difficulty of repayment, binding financing schemes, and debt-to-equity swaps. And these conditions look very similar to the documents that Mr. Jacob of the Ministry of Finance forced my wife to sign, and even many of the expressions are just translations from ......"

"Rand," the Emperor interrupted Rand abruptly, he still looked smiling, but the muntjac in his arms, Monchia, rubbed desperately.

"As you said just now, those things were tens of thousands of years ago, and the current Imperial Finance Department is clean and efficient, and it is impossible to repeat the mistakes of the past."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Rand nodded quickly.

"Rand, you've been working very hard lately, I heard that you just signed an agreement with the orcs, and you began to help His Excellency Natasha defend the White Mountain Peninsula, and Mr. Crane always told me that you spared no effort when you fought, and you were not afraid of the threat of the sea god, and even barely asked for anything in return."

The Emperor was very clear about Rant's situation, and Rant's use of troops in the northeast direction, except for accepting all the captured merfolk and sea monsters, never asked for anything in return, nor did he use this to make any conditions with Crane and the Tower of Purity, which is indeed very rare.

At this time, the emperor looked at Frank and said angrily: "The people of the Finance Department can't see the great credit of the Rand, but they just hold on to the expedient measures when they are fighting, and take advantage of the absence of the lord of the people, and run to the territory to negotiate with his wife, is this the behavior of the imperial official?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, it was my negligence, and now it has been ascertained that the person named Jacob was originally a supernumerary member of the Ministry of Finance, because the former assistant secretary was preparing for a high-level promotion, so he acted for his current position. He was implicated in the orcs, secretly drew up the terms of negotiation without the entire Treasury Department, and imposed the territory on Sir Rand, and has now been expelled from the Treasury Department. ”

In just a few minutes, Frank made up a whole set of explanations, and completely pinned the entire Treasury Department's sharpening knives against Rand on Jacob's head.

"All the agreements he signed are illegal and invalid, and Lord Rand only needs to pay the Ministry of Finance an interest-free subsidy of 400,000 gold coins."

"Then you can't escape the responsibility of improper employment!" The emperor began his performance, "Don't worry, the Finance Department will definitely give you a reasonable explanation, the empire will not let anyone with merit suffer!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Rand understood that the emperor and the chief secretary of the Ministry of Finance sang and harmonized, even if it was an explanation to him: all problems were the responsibility of temporary workers, and the image of the empire was smeared by this group of guys.

"Since it was all a misunderstanding, then please allow me to retire from Your Majesty."

"Of course, but Rand," the Emperor called out to him suddenly, "your document, though not true, is very informative, and I hope you will keep it." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Rand was extremely respectful, but his heart blossomed, and he turned and left.

Seeing Rand leave the garden completely, the emperor put down the muntjac in his arms and took the metal plate in the air into his hand.

"Financing 1 million, you need a handling fee of 2 million......" The emperor didn't move his mouth, but his voice echoed in the air, "This sounds so familiar!" ”

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, there are some costs that can't be done......" Frank panicked completely.

"My money! They take 2 million, give me 1 million, and I want to thank them! ”

The Emperor's anger reverberated throughout the room, even in the net.
