Three hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver disappeared without a trace overnight? You fool me, 350,000 taels, with a weight of nearly 20 tons, how can it be so easy to pull away, do you think it is a truck
Seeing his expression, Xu Wei knew that he didn't believe him, so he shook his head helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "At first, the old man didn't believe it either, but this matter was reported by Shandong Babaili Kuaima himself, and they are all loyal and reliable people, so we can't help it." We don't believe it. Besides, who would joke about this head-off?"
Seeing that Lao Xu was sweating profusely on his forehead, Lin Wanrong's expression gradually changed. Three hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver disappeared. Damn it, it cut off the food and pay of Li Tai's army. Without this silver, he even beat the barbarians. He starved to death.
The tax bank in the south of the Yangtze River, Mr. Lin's restaurant has contributed a lot. Although he is quite dissatisfied with the exorbitant taxes, he can't feed the blood and sweat of the common people to thieves, right? He snorted heavily, I have always been the only one who robs other people's money, no one dares to rob me.
"When did this news come out? Why haven't you heard about it yesterday? Have you reported it to the emperor?" Lin Wanrong asked cautiously. Without the 350,000 taels of silver, Li Tai had to rest, and the Hu people took the opportunity to invade the Central Plains. Coupled with the internal disharmony, Dahua was really in jeopardy. It's just that the old emperor is weak now, so I don't know if he can withstand this blow
"The incident happened the night before yesterday, and the news was delivered by Shandong Kuaima last night. Except for the Shandong side, only you and I know. The emperor has not had the opportunity to report it yet." Xu Wei glanced at him and said.
The night before? Wasn't that the night before the old emperor's assassination? The emperor was assassinated here, and the food and salaries were robbed there. Conspiracy, big conspiracy!
but. Why didn't Lao Xu rush to report to the emperor when such a big incident happened, instead he came to talk to me first? Even if the money is robbed, it's none of my business. I'm just a small deputy minister of the official department, and there are dozens of people standing in front of me, not to mention the official department and Yinzi are not at all close to each other.
Xu Wei seemed to see through his thoughts, sighed and said: "It's not that I deliberately concealed it from the emperor, it's really a big matter, if I'm not careful, hundreds of thousands of people will fall to the ground. It happened in Shandong—”
"Shandong? What happened to Shandong?" Lin Wanrong asked strangely.
"This matter happened in Shandong, and it happened in Jining." Xu Wei sighed slightly, his face full of bewilderment.
"Jining? You mean Luo Ning? Oh, no, it's Luo Min?" Lin Wanrong jumped up suddenly, feeling ashamed in her heart. Why does Laozi think of women first every time, and secondly, the business
"It doesn't matter if it's Luo Min or Luo Ning." Xu Wei said with a wry smile, "Something happened in Jining, and it's a big case of 350,000 taels of silver. If you were the emperor, what would you do?"
Lin Wanrong felt a cold war in his heart, and there was nothing to say about this matter. Old Luo and Xiao Luo are all finished. Pity my little baby Ning'er. Before she has time to enjoy the happiest thing in the world, she is about to die. No, this must not be allowed to happen. Thinking of this, he realized that Lao Xu's refusal to report under pressure was to buy time for Luo Min. He was saving the lives of Luo Min's family.
"Now you understand?" Xu Wei's smile was full of bitterness, he was helping Luo Min, and the price was his own wealth and life.
Lin Wanrong gave him a thumbs up and patted him on the shoulder: "Good brother, show loyalty! Old Xu, you are a buddy. I will thank you on behalf of my father-in-law."
"I have been with Brother Luo for many years, and now he is in trouble, how can I stand by? Besides, it is not a question of thanking you, the key is how to get back the money." Xu Wei shook his head and took a long breath: "When you meet Brother Luo is far away in Jining on this matter. There is no one to discuss with this old man, only you, brother Lin. You are knowledgeable and talented, little brother. I believe you will have a solution. I was here early this morning. Waiting for you."
Old Xu's sycophancy has come to the fore, Lin Wanrong nodded and said: "Mr. Xu, I'm not at the scene, no matter how powerful I am, I can't solve the case by remote control. However, I, Lin, usually like to play tricks. Don't fool around, Luo Ning is my girlfriend, Luo Min is my father-in-law, and the father-in-law's business is my business. It's fine if I can find the money, but if I can't find it, I, Lin, will try to save Ning'er A family—Mr. Xu, when the time comes, I will ask you to borrow one hundred and eighty thousand yuan, so don’t be stingy.” [Heaven’s kiss hand]
Xu Wei was stunned for a while, Brother Lin's mouth is really big, he opened his mouth for one hundred thousand and eighty thousand, not to mention me, even the emperor's old man, it is not easy to take out one hundred thousand all at once. However, for a money-making master like Lin Xiaoxiong, who owns a restaurant and perfume, it is not a problem for him to be worth hundreds of thousands.
Lin Wanrong laughed and chatted, talked nonsense with old Xu, and relieved the pressure in his heart. If Ning'er wants to be saved, the family wealth must not be lost, otherwise, how will I support so many wives in the future? Why do you have to encounter a dilemma every time? Being a man is really not easy.
"Brother Lin, what do you think we should do now?" Xu Wei said frowning. He is the Minister of the Household Department. If the three hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver really cannot be found, the task of preparing the salary will still be firmly on his head, and he will not be able to escape anyway.
"We can't panic about this matter right now. Master Xu, I'm going to wrong you next time." Lin Wanrong said with a serious face.
Xu Wei gave him a puzzled look: "Grievance, how to be wronged?!"
Lin Wanrong gritted her teeth, snorted and said, "Go into the palace now, and report the facts to the emperor truthfully, word by word, honestly, and don't leave anything behind." Regardless of whether the old emperor was really beheading people just now, It's still a lie. I guess after hearing Xu Wei's news, if he didn't kill two of them, it would definitely not extinguish the fire. I hope he can hold on.
Xu Wei gasped, no wonder Brother Lin said he was going to wrong me, this is no ordinary wrong, it is fatal. The emperor was seriously injured yesterday and received the news today, no one knows what will happen then. "Brother Lin, I have reported to the emperor now, so brother Luo—" Xu Wei asked with a distressed face.
If you want to hide it, can you hide it from the old man? He is an octopus with countless tentacles, what can hide him? Master Lin shook his head and smiled wryly: "Mr. Xu, you have been with the emperor for many years, what do you think of the emperor?"
Xu Wei was the number one strategist by the emperor's side, and he knew the emperor very well. Hearing this, he sighed slightly and summed it up in four simple words: "Unfathomable."
"Unfathomable! Well said. Mr. Xu, I can say bluntly that even the emperor knew about how many times you and Sister Su last night, do you believe it?" Lin Wanrong said with a smile, His face was full of seriousness.
Xu Wei's face turned red, and after thinking about it again, his face became gloomy: "I understand the meaning of the little brother, the emperor has countless eyes and ears, and this matter can never be hidden from him. In this case, the old man will report the truth to the emperor." , if the emperor really wants to kill brother Luo immediately, even if I give up my life, I will save brother Luo's family."
Lin Wanrong waved his hand, took two steps slowly, then turned around and said, "Don't talk about being such a bachelor, the matter hasn't reached that point yet. You go and report to the old man, the emperor, and say that I, Lin San, have guaranteed the ticket. I must find the silver back."
"Twenty days? Is this too late?" Xu Wei looked at him suspiciously and said, "In more than 20 days, Li Tai's army is about to leave."
Damn, is this old Xu really stupid or fake? If I tell the emperor twenty days, will he grant me twenty days? This is to buy vegetables in the market. If he only reduces my time by half, it will be a gift from God.
Xu Wei let out a groan, finally understood, and then said: "But, what if you can't find it within the stipulated time limit?"
"Can't you find it?" Lin Wanrong rubbed his nose with a wry smile: "To be honest, I haven't thought about the consequences. The worst thing is that I will sell everything. Alas, I haven't counted our family's bank notes for a long time, and I haven't seen the coincidence. I kept the account neatly, and I don’t know whether the recent income is positive or negative. ***, my official position is too small, and no one gives me gifts. If you don't want me to ask you to borrow money, you can tell the emperor to let him be promoted to my official position. I will only be greedy for three hundred and fifty thousand taels, and I will not want anything else!"
Old Xu laughed out loud, and after talking with Brother Lin, he felt a lot more relaxed, as if there was nothing difficult in the world that could stump them.
"Then it's settled, the old man will go into the palace now, oh, yes, brother Lin, why don't you come into the palace with me, with the emperor's appreciation for you, maybe you can delay for a while longer?" Xu Wei was full of confidence Man, it seems that based on his face in front of the emperor, everything he says is accurate.
Master Lin laughed and said, "You think I'm stupid, and I'm going to see the emperor and wait to be scolded?"
Xu Wei was taken aback for a moment, boy, isn't this scolding me? I don't care about it, so I laughed and said, "Then what are you going to do?"
"My business is very important." Master Lin murmured with a serious expression on his face, "I'll go see how Du Xiuyuan's military training is going - I admire myself, how fucking foresighted I am! Fairy, My dear, don't let me down!"
Watching Du Xiuyuan train his troops? Is this considered serious? What kind of foresight, what kind of fairy, did not understand what Lin Xiaoxiong was talking about, Xu Wei shook his head, took a big step, and went to the palace to face the saint.
