Outside the Tiandu Palace, a group of officials from the inner and outer palaces watched as carriages full of gold and silver were sent to the palace, and their faces were all satisfied. And only Xue Yang knew it at the scene, in the morning Luo Fan said that he would arrest corrupt officials and help Li Benxin solve financial problems, and in the afternoon Tao Feng was raided, and he didn't have to think about it to know that this was done by Luo Fan.

But what made Xue Yang feel terrible was that Luo Fan only said this method in the morning, how could he catch Tao Feng's handle in the afternoon, and how could he make Tao Feng confess, all of which showed that Luo Fan had already secretly checked Tao Feng's family background. So it is inferred that not only Tao Feng, but also the four major families, and even other wealthy families, have already been under the investigation of Luofan. How can a person who has the ability, ambition, courage, patience, and planning be reassuring.

"Xue Xiang, seeing that you are worried, what are you thinking? The king of Tiandu raided the Tao Mansion, although it was unexpected, but it was also a good thing after all. You're not so worried, are you? Wu Sanwen was on the side, noticing that Xue Yang was frowning, and asked suspiciously.

Xue Yang approached Wu Sanwen and muttered in a low voice, "I just told Luo Fan in the morning that I wanted to find silver for the King of Tiandu to fill the loophole. At that time, Luo Fan gave me the idea to investigate corrupt officials. I just said no. There are rules in this country, and the private property of the king of heaven cannot be mixed with the treasury. Even if the corrupt officials are investigated, the money cannot be included in the private treasury of the king of Tiandu. But you see, it was only afternoon, and Luo Fan copied the pottery seal for the king of Tiandu. Why do you say that? ”

Wu Sanwen was also full of astonishment, and said in surprise: "Luofan, this kid moves so fast!" It seems that this is to sing a duet with the king of Tiandu. However, you are the confidant of the King of Tiandu, no matter what, you have to have the same heart as him. To put it bluntly, all the money in the world belongs to the king of heaven, I advise you not to think too much, otherwise you will not have a sacred heart, and you will not be able to do good things. ”

"I understand. It's just that I still feel frightened and disappointed, I am shocked that Luo Fan's ability is too strong, and I am disappointed that the King of Tiandu really let Luo Fan go to copy the Tao family in order to seek personal gain. This monarch has selfish intentions, and it will be difficult to deal with the government in the future. Originally, I thought that the four major families and the kings were my problems when I entered the court, but now it seems that the king of Tiandu is the biggest problem. Xue Yang was stunned.

Compared with Xue Yang's loss, the officials of the foreign government are even more in danger at this time. The power of the four major families has almost collapsed recently, and now Tao Feng is the god of Tianqing, but he was suddenly arrested, and the rabbit died and the fox was sad, which made them all sit on pins and needles.

Yin Shaozheng was paralyzed at home, and at this moment his younger brother Yin Shaocheng succeeded him. Yin Shaocheng was even more careless, sweating profusely in a hurry, and kept asking Sima Yue and the three for help: "Three adults, this is amazing." Tao Feng is a first-class Tianqing, and the king of Tiandu is arrested without greeting, how can this be good. Our Yin family and a few of you adults also have business dealings with the Tao family on weekdays. If Tao Feng can't control his mouth, he will implicate us too. When the time comes, our four major families will really be finished. ”

"Shut up. What are you anxious about. No matter how stupid Tao Feng is, he doesn't dare to give us out. If they really confess us, the four of us will be killed and refuse to admit it. Even if the King of Tiandu really has evidence, he doesn't dare to attack the four of us at the same time. As long as one of the four of us has an accident, we will immediately unite the kings of the world and black and white, turn him upside down, and see how his Li Benxin ends. Kou Ling changed his previous gentleness and weakness, his face was pale, and he scolded Yin Shaocheng.

"Not bad. Tao Feng is not our own person after all, so Li Benxin dared to cut him. Tao Feng also understands that only we can save him now. If he dares to betray us, then his whole people will surely die without a place to be buried, so he will not dare to talk nonsense. It's just that I can't imagine that Li Benxin is so bold now, this is not like his previous style. I guess it's a bad guy again. Qiao Bafang also gritted his teeth and said fiercely.

"Everyone, calm down. The more proud Li Benxin is now, the smoother our plan will be. As long as we endure it for a few more days, the world will be ours by then. When the time comes, everything we have lost will be doubled back. Now, what should we do, let Li Benxin think that we have lost and dare not fight him, so that it is in our best interest. Sima Yue also followed.

A group of people, divided into several camps, were whispering. Zhang Tianjun hurriedly walked over and said loudly: "The king of Tiandu has an order to announce that all the adults will enter the political hall. ”

When they came to the main hall, everyone stood neatly.

Li Benxin sat on the golden couch, with a playful smile on his face: "Hehe, the ministers are so neat." On weekdays, there are not as many people as there are today. It seems that there is all there is to say. Then speak, I'll listen here. ”

Seeing that Li Benxin still had the heart to joke, everyone was even more confused. When Ben came to his lips, no one dared to take the lead. Everyone then looked at Xue Yang, the highest official position.

Xue Yang had no choice but to step forward and arch his hand: "Back to the king of Tiandu, the ministers heard that the foreign affairs department Tianqing Shenqi was confiscated, and the whole family was imprisoned. There was no news about this matter in advance, and the matter was so big that the ministers had to meet him suddenly and ask the king of Tiandu for forgiveness. ”

Li Benxin waved his hand and smiled: "Well, I know." This matter is indeed not small, you Aiqing should naturally ask, this is not a crime. Since you have come to ask, I will naturally answer. This morning, the thunder god caught Luo Fan to see the king, he played a sparse copy, participated in the foreign affairs secretary Tianqing Tao Feng, sold illicit salt, tea to the east and west of the three Xinjiang, and there are many crimes of murder in violation of the law, and many evidences are listed. The king was also surprised when he heard it, but after reading the evidence, he had to believe it. I wanted to convene officials from both the internal and external ministries to discuss and make decisions together. But the thunder god said that this matter is very wide-ranging, and even many officials from the internal and external governments are involved, so it is not appropriate to publicize it. He made a military order to me, and was willing to lead troops to ask Tao Feng to come to the palace for questioning. I originally wanted to invite Tao Tianqing to ask him clearly, so that he could prove his innocence. I don't want to, Tao Tianqing has a ghost in his heart, and he can't stand the interrogation, so he confesses his guilt in his own house. and also let the thunder god arrest and search his house for millions of taels of silver. And in the suburban warehouse, tens of thousands of stones of private salt and tea were found. The facts are clear, and there is now a confession of Tao Feng, as well as the testimony of their housekeeper and householder. As for the private salt and tea, it will be transported to Longcheng tomorrow, and you will be able to inspect it when the time comes. ”

When everyone heard this, the words of the King of Heaven were really seamless! Obviously, he sent someone to raid the house, but he was stunned to question. According to the rules of the Tiandu Dynasty, the raid of the royal family or the first-class Tianqing must be ordered by the king of Tiandu, and the internal and external governments must discuss together. Now that it's a question, no one can find fault with it.

Sima Yue of the Outer Mansion was all blue, and they were all so angry that they gritted their teeth. Li Benxin is throwing the pot, obviously rushing to raid the house, and he was stunned to finish his words. Li Jiudou and the others in the inner mansion were all happy, Tao Feng was originally a puppet of the four major families, and it was naturally a happy event to move him.

Sima Yue and the others knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion, and it was impossible for them to save Tao Feng. But in order to stabilize Li Benxin, they still have to act in the play. Otherwise, if something happened to Tao Feng, their four major families would have no reaction, which was obviously unreasonable.

So Sima Yue stood up and arched his hand: "King Qiqi Tiandu, I don't think this matter is simple. Tao Feng is the Secretary of Foreign Affairs Tianqing, how can he easily admit his guilt, just like selling illicit salt, it is a big crime to exterminate the clan, how can he admit it so easily. Moreover, in just half a day, how can such a big case be investigated, there must be hidden secrets in this kind of case, and it is inappropriate to raid the house so hastily. According to the laws of our court, it is reasonable that officials from the internal and external governments should be selected to jointly try this matter. ”

Li Benxin had a plan in his heart, and smiled calmly: "What Sima Tianqing said is true. The stakes are high, so naturally we can't be hasty. Nowadays, human and material evidence exists, and of course it can be investigated by both the internal and external governments. You can choose one person from the outer government to participate in the investigation, and I have already selected someone from the inner government. Now I will choose him to go to the temple, come to someone, and call him to the mortal. ”

"Luofan!" As soon as everyone heard this name, most of them had black lines on their foreheads, and they gasped even more, asking him to investigate the case, I am afraid that it will be another blood, and everyone will be in danger for a while.

Immediately, Zhang Tianjun shouted outward: "Tiandu Wang Xuan, the thunder god captures everyone and enters the palace!" ”

Luo Fan straightened his waist, strode into the main hall, and came to the hall and shouted: "Ministers Luofan, pay homage to the king of Tiandu." ”

"Luofan, the Tao Feng case is played by you, and you will find out. Now, according to the rules of the Tiandu Dynasty, one person from each of the internal and external governments is selected to jointly hear the case. The king will send you in, and you may have confidence in finding out the case. Li Benxin asked abruptly.

"The king of Mengtiandu will not give up, and Weichen will do the work of dogs and horses, and this case will definitely be investigated!" Luo Fan replied loudly.

"Wait! The king of the heavenly capital, Luo Fan is currently the person of the God Hunting Division. And the Divine Capture Division is a newly established department, which belongs to neither the Outer Government nor the Inner Government. Let him participate in the trial, I am afraid that it is not in accordance with the rules. At this time, Kou Ling also stood up against it.

Qiao Bafang immediately stood up and spoke: "Yes, Luo Fan is not a person from the Inner Government, and he is just a third-grade god, according to the rules, if you want to try a product, you need to get a second-grade or higher Inner Government official, and Luo Fan is now the host of the Tianxia Association, this Tao Feng case is widely implicated, the case is complicated, and it is by no means a short time to be tried." Let him preside over the trial, I'm afraid the timing is not right. ”

Li Benxin frowned when he heard this, but he forgot that Luo Fan still had to prepare for the world meeting in more than ten days. Can the Tao Feng case be tried in the past ten days? But if you don't let the mortal trial, then can you keep the millions of silver you just came?

At this time, Luo Fan looked up and smiled: "Hmph! This case is widely implicated, I don't know where Lord Qiao got the news, the case is responsible, how did Lord Qiao know about it, could it be that you already knew about Tao Feng's crime? ”

"How can I know! It's just a corollary, Tao Feng is in charge of the Department of Foreign Affairs, and he is in a high position, so he is naturally implicated. Qiao Bafang frowned.

"Inferences are not evidence. Ladies and gentlemen, I will tell you the truth, I have been investigating the Tao Feng case for several months. I know in my heart how involved and how complex the case is. I dare to issue another military writ to investigate this case, and I only need one day, and I only need one day to decide this case. Moreover, I can try this case publicly, and I guarantee that everyone involved in this case and supervising this case will be convinced! ”

Luo Fan raised a finger high, and the officials in the hall were in an uproar!

"After investigating the Tao Feng case in one day? How is this possible! The crowd thought that Luo Fan was crazy and began to talk to each other.

Li Benxin was also stunned, this Luo Fan can always do something incredible. I'm afraid that the file won't be sorted out on this day, how can he find out about this case? However, since he dared to stand, why not push it himself.
