Finest Servant

Three hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver disappeared without a trace overnight? You fool me, 350,000 taels, nearly 20 tons of weight, how can it be pulled away so easily, do you think it is driving a truck?

Seeing his expression, Xu Wei knew that he didn't believe it, shook his head helplessly, smiled bitterly and said, "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 trustworthy people. We can't help but believe it. Besides, who would joke about this shit?"

Seeing that Lao Xu was so anxious that his forehead was sweating, Lin Wanrong's expression gradually changed. The 350,000 taels of silver disappeared without a trace. Damn, this has cut off the food and salaries of Li Tai's army. Without this silver, I would have to fight with the Hu people, and I would starve to death.

Jiangnan's taxation and silver, Lin Lin's restaurant has contributed a lot, although he is quite dissatisfied with the harsh and miscellaneous taxes, but he can't feed the blood and sweat of the common people to thieves, right? He snorted heavily, only Lao Tzu has always robbed others of money, and no one has dared to rob me.

"When is this news? Why haven't you heard of it yesterday? Did you tell the emperor?" Lin Wanrong asked Li Yi cautiously. Without these 350,000 taels of silver, Li Tai would have to rest, and the Hu people took the opportunity to invade the Central Plains south. Coupled with the internal discord, Dahua was really at risk. It's just that the old emperor is weak now, and he doesn't know if he can withstand this blow?

"The incident happened the night before yesterday, and Shandong Kuaima sent the news last night. Except for Shandong, only you and I know about it. On the emperor's side, I haven't had a chance to report it yet." Xu Wei glanced at him and said.

The night before? Wasn't that the night before the old emperor was assassinated? The emperor was assassinated here, the food and salaries there were robbed, a conspiracy, a big conspiracy!

but. When such a big thing happened, why didn't Lao Xu rush to report to the emperor, but came to tell me first? Even if the money is robbed, it's none of my business. I'm just a small deputy servant of the Ministry of Personnel, and there are dozens of people standing in front of me, not to mention that the Ministry of Personnel and Yinzi are not next to each other at all.

Xu Wei seemed to see through his thoughts and sighed: "It's not that I concealed it from the emperor on purpose, it's really a big matter, and if you're not careful, hundreds of people will fall. It happened in Shandong—"

"Shandong? What happened to Shandong?" Lin Wanrong asked strangely.

"This happened in Shandong and Jining." Xu Wei sighed slightly, his face blank.

"Jining? You mean Luo Ning? Oh. No, it's Luo Min?" Lin Wanrong suddenly jumped up and felt ashamed. Why does Lao Tzu think of women first, and business affairs second?

"It doesn't matter if it's Luo Min or Luo Ning." Xu Wei smiled bitterly: "There was an accident in Jining, and it was another big case of 350,000 taels of silver.

If you are the king. what would you do? "

Lin Wanrong had a cold war in his heart, and he had nothing to say about this matter. Old Luo and Xiaoluo are all finished, pity my little baby Ning'er, before I can enjoy the happiest thing in the world, I will kill the jade, no, this must not be allowed to happen. Thinking of this, he realized that Lao Xu was under pressure not to report for the time being, that was buying time for Luo Min. It's saving the lives of Luo Min's family.

"Now you understand?" Xu Wei's smile was full of bitterness. He was helping Luo Min, but the price was his own life.

Lin Wanrong gave a thumbs up and patted his shoulder: "Good brother, show your loyalty! Lao Xu, you are enough buddy, I thank you on behalf of my old husband."

"I've been with Brother Luo for many years, and now he's in trouble, how can I stand by? Besides, it's not a thankless question now, the key is how to recover the money." Xu Wei shook his head and sighed: "When In this matter, Brother Luo is far away in Jining. There is no one to discuss with this old man, but you are Lin Xiaoxiong. Xiao Brother, you are knowledgeable and resourceful. I believe you will definitely have a solution. I will be here this morning. waiting for you."

Old Xu's flattering skills have come up, Lin Wanrong nodded and said: "Mr. Xu, I'm not at the scene, no matter how much I have the ability, I can't solve the case remotely. However, I, Lin, usually like to fool, and never at a critical time. Huyou, Luo Ning is my girlfriend, Luo Min is my father-in-law, and my father-in-law's business is my business. If I can find the money, it's fine. If I can't find it, I, Lin, will save the Ning'er family. ——Mr. Xu, when the time comes, I will ask you to borrow one hundred and eighty thousand, so don’t be stingy.”

Xu Wei was stunned for a while, Lin Xiaoxiong's mouth is really big, the mouth is 108,000, let alone me, even if it is the emperor and the old man, it is not easy to take out 100,000 at once. However, a wealthy expert like Brother Lin, who is a restaurant and a perfumer, has a net worth of hundreds of thousands of yuan is not a problem.

Lin Wanrong laughed and hit a haha. After talking to Lao Xu Hu, he released the pressure in his heart. Ning'er wanted to be saved, and his family wealth should not be lost. Otherwise, how could Laozi support so many wives in the future? Why do I have to encounter a dilemma every time, being a man is really not easy.

"Brother Lin, what should we do now?" Xu Wei said with a frown. He is the Minister of the Household. If the 350,000 taels of silver really can't be found, the task of preparing for the payment will still be crushed on him, and he won't be able to escape anyway.

"Right now, we can't panic. Mr. Xu, I'm going to wrong you." Lin Wanrong said with a serious face.

Xu Wei gave him a puzzled look: "Wronged, how to be wronged?!!"

Lin Wanrong gritted his teeth and snorted: "Go into the palace now and report the facts to the emperor truthfully, word by word, honestly, and don't leave anything behind." No matter whether the old emperor was really beheading people just now It's still a joke. It is estimated that after listening to Xu Wei's news, if he doesn't really cut two, it will definitely not extinguish the fire. I hope he can hold on.

Xu Wei took a deep breath. No wonder Brother Lin said he was wronging me. This is not an ordinary grievance, it is fatal. The emperor was seriously injured yesterday, and he got the news today. No one knows what will happen by then. "Little brother Lin, I'm reporting to the emperor now, then brother Luo he—" Xu Wei asked with a sad 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? Lord Lin shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Xu, you have followed the emperor for many years, what do you think of the emperor?"

Xu Wei was the first strategist by the emperor's side. He knew the emperor very well. Hearing this, he sighed slightly and summed it up in four words: "Unfathomable."

"Unfathomable! Well said. Mr. Xu, I can say unceremoniously, even last night you and Sister Su lingered a few times, the emperor knows it all, do you believe it?" Lin Wanrong said with a smile, His face was full of seriousness.

Old Xu Wei blushed, and after thinking about it again, his face darkened: "I understand what little brother means, the emperor has countless eyes and ears, and this matter can't be hidden from him. In this case, the old man will report to the emperor truthfully. , If the emperor really wants to kill brother Luo, even if I sacrifice my life, I will save brother Luo's family."

Lin Wanrong waved his hand, took two steps slowly, and then turned around and said: "Don't talk about being a bachelor, things haven't gotten to that point yet. You go and tell the emperor and the old man, just say that I, Lin San, have made a package, and within 20 days Inside, I must find the silver."

"Twenty days? Is this too late?" Xu Wei gave him a puzzled look and said, "In more than twenty days, Li Tai's army will be leaving."

*, is this old Xu really stupid or fake, if I tell the emperor for 20 days, will he allow me for 20 days? This is shopping for vegetables in the market. If he only compresses half of my time, it is a gift from God.

Xu Wei snorted, finally understood, and then said, "But what if you can't find it within the specified time limit?"

"Can't find it?" Lin Wanrong smiled bitterly and touched his nose: "To be honest, I haven't thought about the consequences. The worst thing is that I smash the pot and sell iron, sigh, I haven't counted our family's banknotes for a long time, and I didn't see the coincidence. I have a good account, I don’t know if my recent income is positive or negative. ***, my official position is too small, no one will give me gifts, otherwise, 350,000 taels of silver is not easy? Mr. Xu, if you If you don't want me to borrow money from you, you can tell the emperor, let him promote me to an official position, I only want 350,000 taels, and I don't want anything else!"

Lao Xu laughed loudly, and after talking with Brother Lin, he felt that the whole person was much more relaxed, as if nothing in the world could stumped them.

"Then it's settled, the old man will enter the palace. Oh, yes, Lin Xiaoxiong, why don't you enter the palace with me. With the emperor's appreciation for you, maybe you can delay it for a while?" Xu Wei is full of confidence. Man, it seems that with his face in front of the emperor, every word is accurate.

Lord Lin laughed and said, "You think I'm stupid, and I go to see the emperor and wait to be scolded?"

Xu Wei was stunned for a moment, good boy, isn't this scolding me, I don't care about it, and I don't bother to bother with him, so he smiled and said, "Then what are you doing?"

"My business is very important." Master Lin murmured with a solemn look on his face: "I'll go and see how Du Xiuyuan's military training is going - I admire myself, I'm so fucking prescient! Fairy! , my dear baby, don't let me down!"

Watching Du Xiuyuan training? Is this even legitimate? What foresight, what a fairy, I couldn't understand what Brother Lin was saying, Xu Wei shook his head, took a big step, and went to the palace to face the saint.
