In the afternoon, the sun is dusk, and after the winter solstice, it seems to be really cold, and there is no heat under the sun, but there is a hint of chill in the heart. On the West Street, pedestrians are walking lazily, the street is wide and vermilion, and the Tao Mansion, the fifth largest family in the world, is as peaceful as ever. There are two rows of housekeepers in front of the door, looking at the pedestrians on the street with great vigour.

Relying on the merits of their ancestors, they, like the four great families, seem to be able to enjoy this heavenly wealth forever. Suddenly, in the distance, horses' hooves sounded, armor was scorching, and the golden and brilliant Praetorian Guards seemed to pass by, walking quickly and neatly. The family members were poking their heads out to see that the Golden Armor Army was soon in front of the door.

The leader in front of the door hurriedly ran over, looked at Li Longxin and Luo Fan, who were riding horses majestically, and asked with a smile: "Ouch, two generals, I don't know if there is a business trip, say it is good to give you a message to my family." ”

Luo Fan smiled: "Oh, don't pass it, we're here to copy the house." Someone came, surrounded the Tao family, and no one was allowed to let go, and found out all the value of the Tao family. Above! With a wave of his hand, the Golden Armor Guards surrounded the Tao Mansion, and hundreds of Golden Armor Guards rushed into the Tao Mansion.

The family, servants and guards in the Tao Mansion saw the Jin Armor Guard rushing and hurriedly called Tao Feng. At this time, the backyard bedroom of the Tao family was full of wine and balsam. Tao Feng was lying naked on the bed, beside two disheveled women with strange tattoos.

The family suddenly ran, knocked on the door, and shouted: "My lord, it's not good, the forbidden army Jin Jiawei has come to raid the house." Your Excellency, your Excellency, come out and take care of it! ”

Tao Fengzheng was drunk and confused, and muttered: "Damn the subordinate, I don't know that Lord Ben is resting." What forbidden army raided the house, what? Forbidden army raiding home? ”

Suddenly reacted, Tao Feng was excited, and sat up from the bed suddenly. scolded in his mouth: "How is it possible! I am the Secretary of Foreign Affairs Tianqing, and I am in alliance with the four major families, and it is impossible for the King of Tiandu to dare to give this order! ”

Tao Feng hurriedly began to dress, and before he could put on his pants, the door was kicked open with a bang.

Tao Feng scolded: "Which grandson dares to kick my door and look for death!" ”

But general, Luo Fan and Li Longxin stood in front of the door with a few golden guards. Smelling the foul smell of wine from afar, Luo Fan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Hey, Master Tao is old and strong, and he has just played so big at noon." It seems that we have come at a bad time. ”

Tao Feng was so angry that the white beard jumped up, hurriedly pulled up his pants, jumped out of bed, and pointed and scolded: "Luofan, you dog thief, how dare you hit my Tianqing Mansion!" I am a first-class Tianqing, even if I really violated the law, it should be ordered by the king of Tiandu, and the decision should be made by the internal and external governments. You dare to lead troops to break in, you really don't know whether you are alive or dead! ”

"It's because you don't know whether to live or die. The world belongs to the king of Tiandu, don't talk about you, even Sima Yue's mansion I still dare to break in. Someone came, escorted Master Tao to the courtyard, and these two women, at first glance, were women from the Western Xinjiang Cult, and took care of them all. Luo Fan waved his hand.

"I see who dares! My Tao family is the first generation of the king of Tiandu, and he has been in charge of the Foreign Affairs Department for generations. Whoever dares to touch me, I will destroy his whole people! Tao Cover was red, and he shouted a threat.

"Tied, tied. If he dares to shout again, he will shut his mouth. Luo Fan didn't care and waved his hand slightly, and seven or eight golden guards immediately took the iron chain and locked up the pottery seal and the two women.

"I am your ancestor, a fallen dog thief! Why did you arrest me, why did you arrest me? I want to see the king of Tiandu, I want to see the king of Tiandu! I don't believe that there is no king's law in this world! Luofan, if you can't kill me today, I will kill you tomorrow! When the dog day falls, you can't die well! ......" Tao Feng was pulled down and scolded loudly.

Li Longxin frowned, looked at Luo Fan, and said coldly: "Boy, don't mess up." If you can't find evidence of Tao Feng's smuggling and corruption, you can't afford to be guilty. When the time comes, the king of Tiandu will also be affected by you. ”

"Hehe, General Lee. Do you think it will be difficult to find evidence of the crimes of the five major families in the DPRK and China? I'm afraid that with my eyes closed, I can just pull a few people from Dragon City and tell them a few big sins that everyone knows. In that case, what do you have to worry about? Let's go, let me show you how these big families hide their silver. Luo Fan smiled.

When I came to the courtyard, all the family members and family members of the Tao family brought them all. And Jin Jiawei searched for a long time, and only found tens of thousands of taels of silver in the Tao family, and nothing else. After all, the Tao family is Tianqing, and it is not surprising that they have tens of thousands of taels of silver.

When Li Longxin saw this result, he was inevitably annoyed, and looked at Luo Fan and asked: "How can I make a difference now, there are only tens of thousands of taels of silver, which is not evidence." ”

Tao Feng was escorted to kneel on the ground, and when he heard Li Longxin's words, he also raised his head proudly and smiled: "Hmph! The old man has been honest all his life, where did he get corrupt! Fallen thief, you dare to come to raid my house today, you are really blind. ”

Luo Fan was not worried, asked someone to bring a chair and sit down, looked at the Tao Feng family kneeling on the ground, and said with a smile: "Hehe! I'm sure you've all heard of my name, and the people of Dragon City are used to calling me Living Yama because I like to kill. In fact, this is the people's misunderstanding of me, I don't like to kill people, but I am not afraid of killing people, especially disobedient people, how many people, how many I kill. Now I will give you a chance, and whoever is willing to tell him where the Tao family hides the silver will be set free, and I will reward him with ten thousand taels of silver, and let him go home and become a rich man. If you don't say it, then you are against me, if I find out the money hidden by the Tao family, you will know and not report it, and no one will be able to escape the fate of beheading with the Tao family. Now, who wants to be the first to speak? ”

Hearing Luo Fan say this, all the family members trembled with fright, they looked at each other, they wanted to speak, but they were timid. Seeing that all the family members were shaken, Tao Feng scolded: "Remember to Lao Tzu, who is your master." Lao Tzu is the Secretary of Foreign Affairs Tianqing, this Luo Fan is just a little god, he doesn't dare to do anything to you! When Lao Tzu turned over, he must have scraped him alive. ”

"Hehe, Tao Feng. Do you really think that without the guidance of your family, I would not have found the silver you hidden. Someone, find a few hammers, a few shovels, go and smash the study of the pottery seal for me, and dig up the garden ground! Luo Fan was full of confidence and smiled coldly.

Hearing Luo Fan accurately say where he hid silver, Tao Feng suddenly sweated on his forehead and was paralyzed. Hurriedly knelt down and took a few steps forward, knelt down to Luo Fan and begged for mercy, and cried: "Lord Luofan, you have to spare people and spare people, you are also court officials, why do you want to do things." As long as you let me go today, I will be grateful to you, and I am willing to give half of the family property, no, all the family property to filial piety. I beg you to leave quickly, and then express my remorse to the King of Heaven. My Tao family will definitely look forward to the king of Tiandu in the future. I have a lot of secrets and incriminating evidence of the four major families, and I beg your lord to let me go, I am grateful, grateful! ”

Seeing Tao Feng kneeling and kowtowing, he cried miserably. Luo Fan laughed, looked back at Li Longxin, and said with a smile: "General Li, have you seen it, our Lord Tianqing is afraid." At the beginning, when I tried Tao Zhili at the Dongjie County Office, I never saw him afraid. It seems that this person is dying at the end of the day, and he knows that he is afraid. But it's a pity, I'm a living Yama, I want you to die, and no one can protect you! ”

"My lord, I said, I said, I am the steward of Tao Feng, I am willing to tell you all the locations where the Tao Mansion is hidden, and I am willing to point out the evidence of the Tao family's crime. I beg you to spare my life! Seeing that Tao Feng was hopeless, Hou Xiang, the chief housekeeper kneeling in the front row, hurriedly shouted to give evidence. Seeing this, the other family members also begged for mercy.

"You! Hou Xiang, you traitor! You traitors, you have forgotten the kindness that Lord Ben has shown to you! I'll kill you! Tao Feng saw that all the family members behind him rebelled, his face was red with anger, and he rushed over and pinched the housekeeper Hou Xiang with both hands.

The housekeeper desperately broke free, pushed away the pottery seal, and then hid to the side, pointing and scolding: "Tao Feng! You usually do a lot of evil, but now that the matter is exposed, you dare to hide it and not report it. You have a fart kindness to us, which of the ladies in this house escapes the bullying of your father and son, and which of the men is not beaten and abused by you. Now, Tiandu Wang Shengming, if you want to check the evidence of your crimes, you should quickly and honestly confess! ”

"You, good for you, you're really a bad seed. On weekdays, don't you rely on my prestige to do evil everywhere! The few concubines outside you, aren't they from me? Now that the master is in trouble, you dare to bite back, I am really blind and have raised such a vicious dog as you! Tao Feng gritted his teeth in anger, and the green tendons on his neck flared up, but he could only scold a few words to get angry.

The housekeeper Hou Xiang hurriedly looked at Luo Fan and arched his hand: "Thunder God Catch, I am the steward of the Tao family, and I have all the evidence of the Tao family's crimes." However, I was coerced by the Tao family father and son in the past, and I did do something against my conscience. If I sue their father and son, I wonder if I can be spared. ”

As soon as Luo Fan looked at this Hou Township, his face was full of treachery and ruffian, and he knew that he was not a good person. But such a person, let him do some good things before he died, it is not impossible, and immediately smiled: "Good! Ben-sama, I will make you a promise. As long as you are willing to tell the whole truth and hide nothing, then I will spare you without sin, and I will give you ten thousand taels of silver to ensure that you will be prosperous in the future. Now, you take the other family members who are willing to open their mouths, dig up the gold and silver of the Tao family, and write down all the evidence of the Tao family's crimes. ”

"Thank you, sir! Come with me, I'll take you to dig up the silver! Nahou Xiang suddenly changed from a prisoner under the stairs to a high-spirited man, and with a wave of his hand, he led a group of family members to dig the gold and silver hidden by his master.

Soon, boxes of gold and silver were dug out of the walls, under the rockery, and in the garden. Even under the floor tiles of the thatched toilet, there are layers of gold bricks, and the soil holes in the firewood house are full of silver ingots. In a short time, gold and silver filled the entire courtyard on hills.

Tao Feng saw that his life savings were dug up, from the excitement and anger at the beginning, to heartache, remorse, and finally despair and sorrow. He felt chills all over his body, his bones were cold, and his whole body looked like a half-dead zombie, and I was afraid that the warmest stove would not be able to warm him.

Li Longxin saw that all the gold and silver were dug up, and he was also happy in his heart, so this trip was not in vain, and the errand of the king of Tiandu was also successfully completed. Turning around, he instructed the deputy general Ling Tianhao and said, "Tianhao, classify the gold and silver, count and pack the boxes, and keep the accounts in order for the King of Tiandu to check them." ”

Hearing Li Longxin's order, Luo Fan suddenly stopped: "Wait, don't count the numbers, and don't record any numbers." ”
