In the courtyard, Luo Fan was standing under a laurel tree and contemplating. Unexpectedly, Xue Yang was in a hurry to come soon.

"Huh? Lord Xue, don't be in such a hurry, I still have plenty of time. Luo Fan asked.

Xue Yang smiled: "It's me who has something urgent to discuss with you." Luofan, although we have misunderstandings in the past, we generally understand each other, so I won't go around in circles. I am now the martial minister of the king of Tiandu, and everything should be dominated by the king of Tiandu. But now I have a problem that really makes me difficult. Yesterday, Lord Wenxiang said that you must have a way, so I came to ask for advice. ”

"Huh! Thank you two for lifting up. The younger generation doesn't dare, and there are many things that they still want to learn from the two. But since adults have needs, it doesn't hurt to say it. Luo Fan smiled.

Xue Yang nodded and sighed: "As the saying goes, it is difficult to be a family, and it is difficult to be a family. If you don't belong to the family, you really don't know how difficult it is, and when I take over the things of the king of Tiandu, I find that the private financial situation of the king of Tiandu is very worrying. To put it bluntly, the private property of the King of Tiandu is meager, and it has long been unable to supply the harem and the Li royal family. In the past, when Prime Minister Zhang Ruoxu was there, he himself subsidized more than one million to the king of Tiandu every year, and he had to embezzle it from all over the inner government to make up for this shortfall. Now that I accept these bad debts, I am indeed anxious, I have neither the ability to embezzle the money and grain of other inner governments, nor can I raise gold and silver to supplement the king of Tiandu. Seeing that the private treasury of the King of Tiandu is empty, and it is not even enough to support January, I have no choice. ”

Hearing this, Luo Fan already understood, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be silver." That's a short answer. Hasn't the world's No. 1 wealthy Huangfu family always secretly supported the king of Tiandu, isn't it just looking for his family? ”

Xue Yang sighed and said, "I've thought about it. The Huangfu family has always had a close relationship with the King of Tiandu, and it is not good for me to suddenly intervene to borrow money, otherwise I may arouse the suspicion of the King of Tiandu. Moreover, the Huangfu family has been supplying the forbidden army and the protector army of the king of Tiandu. And the expenses of the harem of the king of Tiandu and the expenses of the royal family belong to their own affairs, if this also reaches out to the emperor's family, it will not be too damaging to the face of the king of Tiandu. ”

"Oh, I forgot, the king of Tiandu is a good-looking man. Then I will definitely not be able to lend you money, and it is obviously not appropriate for the ministers of the Tiandu Dynasty to ask for silver. Lord Xue, wait a minute, let me think about it. "Luofan.

Luo Fan stood and walked a few steps, and his mind began to rummage.

After only taking three steps, Luo Fan suddenly turned around and smiled: "There is a way." ”

"What's the solution?" Xue Yang asked.

Luo Fan smiled: "My lord, let me ask you a question. The number of fields, commercial products, and minerals in the world is roughly fixed. So why are there poor and weak and strong in different periods of dynasties? Where did the country's money go in the time of poverty? Where is the strength in the heyday? ”

Hearing this question, Xue Yang was silent for a long time and replied: "The reason for the defeat of the dynasty is rooted in the class gap and the disparity between the rich and the poor. Most of the country's own production is in the hands of a small number of wealthy businessmen and corrupt officials, so that the national strength is weak. And the strong generation is strong in the foundation and strong in the public. If all the people of a country are rich, then the cohesion and strength of the country will naturally be strong. ”

"That's right! The reason why the Tiandu Dynasty is now weak is that the officials protect each other, and the officials and businessmen collude to occupy most of the national power for private property. If you are looking for silver, who should you look for? Luo Fan smiled.

"You asked me to investigate corrupt officials and profiteers?"

"Yes. As long as you check a big greed and a big traitor, it will be enough for the king of Tiandu to eat for a few years. Luo Fan smiled.

Xue Yang frowned and thought for a moment, shook his head, and resolutely rejected: "No." Your approach is really good, but it's not right. First, the money of corrupt officials, according to the laws of the Tiandu Dynasty, should be used by the Tianbao Division, how can it be classified into the private treasury of the King of Tiandu. Second, the biggest corrupt officials in Dragon City are none other than the four major families, which affect the whole body. If you check one, I'm afraid that I will bring out a string, and then the Longcheng court will be uneasy. ”

Hearing Xue Yang's answer, Luo Fan felt a burst of laughter in his heart. This Xue Yang is really pedantic, in this era of imperial power, he even thinks of some ridiculous laws. Even Yin Shaozheng hid the treasury at home, what is the use of this decree?

After thinking about it, Luo Fan smiled: "What the adults said makes sense. That being the case, I will not mention it again. However, don't worry, your lordship, you don't have to worry about the king's lack of silver this day. Since you have brought it up to me, I will definitely help. I'll give you a solution in the next few days. ”

……

After meeting with Ji Cheng in the morning, Luo Fan came to the palace to meet the king of Tiandu, and he came to give Li Benxin a big gift this time.

Hearing that Luo Fan met in person, Li Benxin was also surprised, but he still met in person, and the place where he met was the Great Hall. Where is more majestic, and Li Benxin has the aura to grasp the overall situation.

Luo Fan walked up to the hall and bowed his hand: "Ministers Luo Fan, see the king of Tiandu." ”

"Fall into the ordinary, free from courtesy. I don't know what you're looking for? Li Benxin said lightly, tepidly, deliberately showing the unfathomable depth of his king.

Luo Fan immediately announced: "Back to the king of Tiandu, Weichen is coming, there are two things to start. First of all, last night I met Wang Luochuan, the king of the gods, outside the palace gate, and went with him to Fengtai Teahouse to drink tea and discuss the case of the Tianbao Division's treasury. When we were talking about Sima Tianqing, suddenly countless killers appeared on all sides of the teahouse. At that time, Wang Shenzhu and I were all caught in the smoke and fled for our lives through the windows on the second floor. I was lucky enough to jump into the river to escape, but I don't know if Wang Shenzhu escaped. Today I searched all over the Divine Hunting Division, and I found no whereabouts of him. Therefore, I have come to inform the king of Tiandu. ”

When Li Benxin heard this, he chuckled in his heart, he just met Wang Luochuan last night, and promised him a beautiful wife in a mansion, and a princely general, so what happened to him? However, he is a world-famous god hunting king, so he should not be killed so easily. However, what does Luo Fan mean by Sima Yue? Didn't Sima Yue set out to kill them?

Li Benxin pondered for a moment and said, "It's not strange that you were assassinated. After all, the vault case is big, and it is not surprising that someone will make a move. The God Hunting King is very skilled, maybe after escaping, he is still investigating the case outside, but there is no need to rush to conclusions. However, you said that you talked about Sima Tianqing, what does this mean? ”

Luo Fan said: "Wang Shenzhu and I both saw that it should be Sima Yue's Tianmen Divine Spear that opened up the tunnel of the vault. In this Tianmen Divine Spear, there are only Li Chunjin in the world, and Sima Yue has it. Li Chunjin is partial to Tiancheng, she has just experienced a big war, and everyone knows that Meihua Villa is making money every day, so she doesn't need to risk stealing the vault. But Sima Tianqing is ambitious, and everyone knows it, maybe the case of the vault is related to her. That was our conversation, but unfortunately we didn't go deep enough before we were attacked. ”

Li Benxin pondered again, if Sima Yue could rob Yin Shaozheng's treasury, it would not be surprising. However, what is going on in this matter still depends on Wang Luochuan's rhetoric, and you can't listen to Luo Fan's words.

Li Benxin said again: "I know." It is not appropriate to draw conclusions until the facts of the case have been clarified. Everything will wait until the facts of the case are clear. What's your second thing? ”

Luo Fan took out a piece of music from his cuffs, held it with both hands, and said: "Weichen wants to participate, and the Secretary of Foreign Affairs Tianqing Tao Feng." The Tao family, as my Chaotianqing, is in charge of the important post of the Department of Foreign Affairs, but they collude with evil sects such as Xijiang, Xisha, and Tianhai to sell illicit salt and tea. Over the years, the profits have reached tens of millions of silver. Please raid the Tao family to correct the law of the country! ”

Listening to this performance, Li Benxin's eyes widened, and Zhang Tianjun and Long Xilin behind him also glanced at each other unexpectedly. This Luo Fan usually does his own thing and kills people like hemp, how can he find out the Tao family who sells illicit salt today? It's weird.

Li Benxin read the chapter again, carefully looked at Luo Fan, and was confused, not knowing what Luo Fan was going to do.

frowned and said: "Luofan, now this king has sealed you to be a thunderbolt and ordered you to preside over the world conference." Why did you suddenly remember to participate in the potter's house? You know, this kind of case is very involved, and it is not a case that can be decided. Now, in an eventful time, what do you mean by this? ”

Luo Fan arched his hand and said: "Tiandu King Rongyu." This world is the world of the king of Tiandu, but some officials regard domestic production as private property and arbitrarily divide it, which has reached an outrageous point. A small potter has made more than 10 million profits over the years. These properties should have belonged to the treasury and should have been under the supervision of the king of Tiandu, but now they are private. I once heard the military minister say that the king of Tiandu is the rate of a country, and he can still be prepared for danger in times of peace, diligent and thrifty, but the officials below are extravagant and do not know how to restrain themselves. Weichen thinks that this wind should be killed, the Tao family should be investigated, and the ill-gotten wealth should be returned to the supervision of the king of Tiandu. Wei Chen came here, it was a petition, and he personally led someone to raid the Tao family! Please be the king of heaven! ”

Speaking of this, Li Benxin finally understood, this Luo Fan said for a long time, he came to give himself silver. However, he wants to raid Tao Feng's home, which is indeed a bit too big. Although the Tao family does not have the power of the four major families, after all, it is a century-old wealthy family, and it was personally appointed by Li Yunfeng at the beginning.

"Luofan, you know what your move means. If you dare to check Tao Feng, then the four major families, and even the kings associated with the Tao family, may not be willing to let you go. When the time comes, I'm afraid that one stone will stir up a thousand waves, and I won't be able to protect you. If you don't have solid evidence, don't act hastily. Li Benxin pondered for a long time and hesitated.

"Don't worry, king, since I dare to go to the book, I am naturally sure. If I can't find out the ironclad evidence of the Tao family's crime this time, I will be imprisoned and die. Give me half a day, and I will be able to find out all the evidence of the Tao family's crimes, copy out all his property, and ensure that no one in the world has anything to say. At the beginning, when I came to Longcheng as a little arrester, I dared to be a street fighter Yin Shaozheng. Today, the four major families have no climate, and they naturally have no scruples when they check a small pottery family. ”

"Sure enough, you have the courage, this king believes in your ability. It's just that the emperor and the five major families had an agreement to let their descendants take charge of the five departments of the outer mansion for generations. If you check the Tao family, I'm afraid of violating the agreement of your ancestors. "Li Benxin.

"Don't worry, King. The Holy Ancestor did have an agreement to ensure that the five families were in charge of the five departments for generations. But the Holy Ancestor never agreed, and the five of them broke the law and would not be investigated! Now the Cha Tao family, and Tianli, obey the will of the people, and it is the wise and martial strategy of the king of Tiandu! ”

"Good! This king will take responsibility for you once and let you check the Tao family! Where is Li Long's heart! After Li Benxin heard this, he immediately became excited and slapped the table and drank.

Behind the screen, Li Longxin, the leader of the secret guard, immediately walked out to listen.

Li Benxin said: "I order you to personally select five thousand forbidden troops, and let the thunder god go to raid the Tao Mansion." ”

Immediately, Li Longxin and Luo Fan were ordered to leave.

Seeing Luo Fan leaving, Li Benxin showed a smug look on his face. Luofan's move was undoubtedly sent to the door by himself and as a target for himself. If Luo Fan can really investigate and deal with the money, then Li Benxin can sit back and reap the profits of the fisherman. If something can't be found, then Li Benxin can also put all the blame on Luo Fan. So he just gave the order verbally, and didn't even write a word for Luofan. In this way, all the consequences can be controlled by Li Benxin at will.
