One Step to The End

"My lord! Lunch is all right, do you want some more plum wine..."

The two jailers flattered and opened the prison door. Zhao Guanren was sitting behind his desk picking his teeth, with a pile of leftovers in front of him, and said: "Don't drink! I should go out after the meeting and tell the brothers to stop temporarily and wait patiently for me. The news will do!"

"Congratulations, my lord, let's change your clothes for you and go out clean..."

The jailers nodded and bowed like doglegs, but Zhao Guanren waved his hand and refused, took a few packs of cigarettes and walked diagonally across, looking at a gray-haired old prisoner, and said with a smile: "Wu Ge Lao! I can't accompany you to play chess for the time being. , Save these packs of cigarettes for smoking!"

"Don't say bad things, never play chess with me, it's not a good place..."

The old man walked to the fence and took a cigarette. Zhao Guanren smiled again: "There are only two possibilities for playing chess again, either reunion outside or meet in the sky, but I remember everything you want to say, and it will definitely bring it to your family. , Don’t worry if you are old!"

"Xiao Yin! You are a dragon and a phoenix among the people, and you will have a bright future in the future..."

Elder Wu Ge patted his arm across the iron fence, and whispered: "Go find my daughter. Under the splint of the old red box, there is a precious Lei Xiu secret book. Copy one and use it to practice. Although it's difficult for us mine repairers, it will be a blockbuster after training!"

"Okay! Got it..."

Zhao Guanren instinctively opened his right hand behind his back, and a purple thunderball suddenly appeared in his palm, squeezing it out with a "crack", Wu Gelao nodded very satisfied, thinking that he had put an electric spark, a Jin praised him for his talent.

"Old Ge! You rest, I believe we will meet again outside..."

Zhao Guanren turned his head and walked back to the cell. Mine repairers were rare in the Tang Dynasty, but when he was in prison, he met one of them. When Mr. Wu Ge helped him open up a sea of ​​qi, he immediately found that the repair was still there. It just lacks the profound energy that can be adjusted.

"My lord! There is someone in the palace, I want to invite you into the palace..."

The jailers ran back in surprise. Zhao Guanren threw the broken silver to them, put a leather bag on his back, and walked straight out. His cultivation level has reached the first-grade level, and he is only one step away from the great master. He will practice for some time. Can break through.

"Yin Zhiping! Get in the car..."

A middle-aged **** was standing outside the gate of the jail. Zhao Guanren walked out silently and looked at the sun in the sky. He was not unfamiliar with the sun. He could come out and let the wind go out every day. If he didn't want to calm down and cultivate, the brothel was small. The younger sister can bring him in.

"Has the prince promised to pay the bill?"

Zhao Guanren got into the carriage and lit a cigarette. The middle-aged **** followed up with a smile and said, "Public promised! I heard that the amount was almost scared to death, and the emperor was so angry that he was scolding his mother. Isn't this asking you to enter the palace? , Their father and son are both golden words!"

"Hmm~ I want to dig money from me, they are still a bit tender..."

Zhao Guanren sneered disdainfully. In fact, he had long expected that someone would steal his business, so he was digging the pit from the beginning of the fight. Even during his time in prison, Xia Buer and the others were allowed to operate. The pit was digging bigger and bigger. Until the emperor dare not fill in.

...

The carriage soon came outside the palace. The **** put him in shackles again, and the guards of the imperial guard came to check it again, and then led him to the palace wall without any problem. The guards outside the large palace were more tightly guarded. Obviously a lot of big people have come.

"Wow..."

Zhao Guanren dragged his heavy ankles upstairs, unkempt, ragged, and exuding a big stench from a distance. Not only the emperor and the prince were present, but the three provinces and six ministries, the seven princes, the four princesses, and Fahai and Tianyang. The sons are here, all expressionless.

"Yin Zhiping! You are so bold..."

Prince Ji said angrily: "You have committed adultery with my prince, and this palace thinks that you are dedicated to killing the people, and never embarrassed you. How did you know that you cheated countless people behind and caused a huge deficit. This is more than seven million taels. If you can't make it up, just jump from here!"

"You are incapable of telling me that I cheated, did I take away more than seven million taels..."

Zhao Guanren walked in front of the crowd without saluting, and said: "Ask the Bodhidharma Academy and Baiyun Temple, how many artifacts I bought from them, the first order is worth more than one million taels, and all of them are equipped with Fumoshi. , Is there such a scammer?"

"Oh? Really..."

The old emperor looked at Fahai suspiciously, and Fahai leaned his palm over and said, "The poor monk never handles money matters, but he did hear that the town magician ordered a large number of ritual instruments, all of which are the best, craftsmen and The mages are still rushing to make it!"

"Holy!"

Tianyangzi also saluted and said: "There is indeed an order for the Suppression Devil Division, and the specific amount is not clear!"

"Hypocrisy! You **** drew it, Tianyangzi..."

Zhao Guanren sneered: "The logistic master book of the Demon Division of the town, asked you Baiyunguan to order three batches of artifacts with a total value of 600,000 taels of silver. The other party wants 80,000 taels of benefits. You wrote a note and asked him to go in batches. Collar, do you want me to publish the note to the public?"

"you……"

Tianyangzi's face flushed all of a sudden, and everyone immediately looked at him with contempt.

"Tianyangzi! You not only assisted the small officials in corrupting the law, but you also indulged in cutting corners and cutting corners on the magical instruments. What kind of gods did you cultivate, the way to make money..."

Zhao Guanren sternly shouted: "Magic weapons are weapons against demons. When weapons are in trouble, my Datang soldiers will have to die. According to the regulations of Datang's "Work Law", their military armors are based on officials. Those who use fake and indiscriminate things should be beheaded, and those who supervise the creator should be guilty of the same crime. You have to behead your head from the beginning!"

"..."

This time everyone was shocked, not afraid that the gangsters can martial arts, but that the gangsters are educated, this guy has almost memorized the Law of the Tang Dynasty, and Tianyangzi yelled in anger, "How dare you a dog thief? Frame me, I didn't cut corners!"

"Dare to be a scumbag, I have kept all the human and physical evidence..."

Zhao Guanren disdainfully said: "Listening to what the master Fahai said, he said that the magic weapon for reducing the demon only takes the cost, and pays for the supplementary wages under the circumstance of his ability. Master!"

"Amitabha! Yin donor praised it, the poor monk just asks for a clear conscience..."

Fahai held up his palm and bowed deeply. The shy and angry Tianyangzi stopped talking and suddenly knelt down and said: "The emperor! The poor road was upset by the town demon, and the ghost was obsessed with it before agreeing to the benefit, but I really I don’t know about cutting corners!"

"Okay! The Demon Master is also my Datang warrior, so I should cut corners..."

The old emperor waved his hand impatiently: "As for whether you know it or not, your own Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs will jointly investigate and handle it. Life and death will make you clear, but I just want to know how to fill this huge deficit, Yin Zhiping! This is what you stabbed. Crate!"

"No! You stabbed this, not me..."

Zhao Guanren shook his head without hesitation. Everyone immediately looked at him in surprise, even Fahai suddenly raised his head with an expression of "you don't want to die."

"What do you mean?"

The old emperor squinted his eyes and said coldly: "Did I ask you to collect money? Did I ask you to commit adultery? Do you still want to put a **** basin on my head?"

"Have I owed a penny? Isn't that idiot Xu Shiming your courtier..."

Zhao Guanren sneered and said: "You are the ninth-five god, don't you know the ability to deceive below, do you know how much profit I keep, 10%! I want to feed 4,000 craftsmen, 1,000 witchcraft, 90% All your money has been allocated to your courtiers. Is there such a way of collecting money?"

"Her words!"

A Shangshu angrily rebuked: "If you divide all the money, how can so many people come to ask for the account? You are clearly using their money to borrow chickens and eggs. Who is forcing you?"

"Haha~ Three years of clearing the prefect, one hundred thousand snowflake silver, Zhang Shangshu! The son paid three hundred thousand taels before and after, enough for your whole family to hurt for a whole year..."

Zhao Guanren laughed and said, "But if I don’t let your family buy shares, can you let me start work, can you get my goods out of the city, and you took away one hundred thousand taels of rebate, why don’t you let me record it on the account book? A monk was forced to this level, all thanks to the corrupt officials of Datang!"

"Nonsense! These are totally different things..."

Zhang Shangshu rose up against the case and said angrily: "You promised to lure the suffering master with heavy gains, causing a huge deficit of more than seven million taels. You start to bite if you don't have the money. If you have the ability, you can fill in the seven million taels. When I went up, the official admitted to the public that he had neglected his duty and resigned and returned to his hometown!"

"Zhang Shangshu! You are either stupid or bad, don't blame me for exposing your old bottom..."

Zhao Guanren walked to a table full of ledgers, and after flipping through it, he sneered: "You bully the emperor and don’t understand the ledgers, right? Even if I pay back all the debts, I still have more than 1 million excluding inventory. Surplus, where is the deficit?"

"What? More than a million surplus..."

A group of people stared round their eyes. Zhang Shang's book was the head of the household who was in charge of the money. He immediately became anxious when he heard this. He quickly called a few accountants to check, but even the old emperor stood up. His face was suspicious, his hands behind his back.

"You don't even count the total value of the homestead. Thanks to me that I haven't been decapitated, otherwise this bad debt will fall on me..."

Zhao Guanren disdainfully said: "The rules of the bank have to be cut in half when appraising. Therefore, more than seven million homesteads can only be loaned out for more than three million. As long as the three million are paid back, the seven million homesteads will come back. These feitian mansions can be sold at any time. Will there be more than one million remaining after paying off the debt?"

"How can you settle accounts like this..."

An official from the Ministry of Households said angrily: "The people asking for money are all going to the streets. Xu Shiming is hung up and wiped out. Most of the people here are your creditors. How do you make them not want the money? It's all theirs!"

"It seems that you are not only stupid, but also blind. It is stated in the deed that you need to apply half a month in advance to withdraw the principal..."

Zhao Guanrenmei said: "The approval will be completed within 15 working days, and the payment will be completed within 30 working days thereafter. During this period, no interest will be accrued. Even if shareholders apply now, it will take three months at the earliest. Take the money, what kind of money do you want now?"

"..."

All the princes and ministers, relatives and relatives of the emperor, all looked at him dumbfounded. An official quickly took out his contract and was surprised when he took a closer look: "Really, the withdrawal period was specified, alas~ why didn’t it happen before? Pay attention, this is not cheating!"

"Shut up! Is there really a surplus..."

The old emperor hurriedly stepped forward and asked. A clerk wiped the sweat from his head and squeaked, "Holy God! If the debt can be extended, there will only be a small deficit on the account... All are sold, and there will be a surplus of more than 1.6 million taels!"

"Puff~"

Hubu Shangshu slumped on the ground, his old face was pale and sweating, he knew that the trouble was big, and the money-keepers would not be able to settle the accounts.

"Rice bucket! The accounts are not clear, what kind of money do you manage..."

The old emperor scolded in anger and anger: "There are hundreds of copies of the text in black and white. You dare to come to me to report if you don’t read it carefully. The people who were frightened almost turned into mutiny. I think you are deliberately deceiving. , You all have been dismissed and investigated!"

"The emperor! If you don't cut a few heads, I'm afraid it won't work..."

Zhao Guanren said with a smile: "Anyway, I'm a dying person. I'll just give you another gift. Tubo and Nanzhao are about to rebel. The total force is not less than 250,000. If Tianzhu takes the opportunity to attack Longyou Half of Datang’s country is... dangerous!"

"What did you say?"

The face of the old emperor was instantly pale, and everyone present was dumbfounded...
