"I know, I'll arrange someone to do it immediately." Li Jiudou saw Li Longxin and agreed hastily.
Li Longxin walked to Wang Luochuan again and asked: "King God, have you found any clues? This time, King Tiandu attaches great importance to this case and hopes that you can do your best to solve the case. This evening, King Tiandu will personally summon you for questioning. The facts of the case. If you can solve the case this morning, King Tiandu will definitely reward you heavily."
Hearing the summons from King Tiandu, Wang Luochuan felt a little secretly happy in his heart. If it comes to judging the case, in the whole world, Wang Luochuan dares to rank second, but no one dares to rank first. He immediately raised his hands and said with a smile: "Don't worry, this case is important and I will go all out. But the person who committed the crime is definitely a master. All the clues were burned with kerosene and destroyed with explosives. I want to find out the case, first We need to send people to re-dig the secret tunnel that was blown up, and secondly, we need to start from the outside. With so much gold and silver stolen, the thieves must need a lot of preliminary work, and a lot of manpower. The more work, the more people, Then the risk of exposure will be greater. Therefore, I, Wang Luochuan, are absolutely confident in investigating this case."
"As expected of the God Catcher King, with you here, we have peace of mind. When you find the culprit, don't forget to let us also take advantage of it." At this time, Luofan was eating the buns he just bought in his mouth, swaggering Came in.
When everyone saw it, they all frowned. Everyone was here. It was too late to save him. Did he even have breakfast?
"Luofan, you're here. You know the best about Jianghu. Let's see what kind of tricks this thief has. Maybe we can find some unexpected clues?" When Xie Xu saw Luofan, he didn't regard him as an outsider and said asked.
Luo Fan chuckled and said, "I dare not say that. Yin Tianqing is recognized as the living god of wealth in the world. Who doesn't know that his family has a lot of money. The people who get along with him on weekdays are either dignitaries, princes, generals, or black and white people. Big shot. Whoever can't protect everyone will be red-eyed, and he has such thoughts, and he also wants to be a living God of Wealth. However, with the presence of the God Catcher King, I believe the thief can't escape. Well, I just came to watch the fun, after all, Tiandu The king has entrusted the Black and White Alliance Conference to me, and I don’t have time to get involved in this matter.”
Seeing Luo Fan, Sima Yue and Wang Luochuan both looked carefully, trying to see some clues from Luo Fan's face. Then the two of them approached Luofan and sniffed it quietly. They wanted to see if Luofan smelled of gunpowder or kerosene.
Sima Yue did not smell these two smells. On the contrary, Wang Luochuan was more shrewd and asked with a smile: "Luo Shendu, I just took a shower this morning and changed into new clothes. Did you go somewhere romantic and happy last night?"
Luo Fan chuckled: "As expected of the God Catcher King, you can see it even if you change his clothes. However, single young men are talented and rich, and understand each other. I am still a third-class man now, and I can't be like before. Like a head hunter, he always wears rags."
"Okay, let's stop chatting. Let's go back. The case is still handed over to the Investigation Department. Our internal government is monitoring the progress. Xie Xu and Wang Luochuan need to mobilize troops, so feel free to ask the various yamen and the city protection department. The progress of the case must be reported to our inner government every day. This case should not be delayed for too long. The case of the Luoyang Marquis Mansion will be handed over to others first, and you will do your best to pursue the case." Xue Yang looked at everyone and ordered.
Everyone saw the scene and left one after another.
Sima Yue passed by Luofan, glanced coldly, and said nothing.
After everyone left, Xie Xu looked at Wang Luochuan and asked, "Wang Shenqi, what do you think now?"
Wang Luochuan pretended to be profound and said with a smile: "I don't have much opinion. However, I have my own way. You can just go back and wait for the good news."
After saying that, Wang Luochuan left the Yin Mansion alone.
Seeing Wang Luochuan's self-satisfied look, Zhao Xue said disdainfully: "This Wang Luochuan, because of his cleverness, always doesn't take others seriously. We also have to work hard, but we can't let him take the credit alone. .”
"The greater the credit, the greater the risk. This case is too big, and the mastermind behind it is by no means an ordinary person. When you guys are investigating the case, don't rush in, and pay more attention to safety. Bring as many people as you can, and you will be sure to do it when you encounter difficult things. Please ask me or Senior Ji for instructions." Xue Yang looked at Zhao Xue and ordered.
"I understand, master." Several people agreed in unison.
After checking the Yin Mansion, all the court officials hurried to the palace to attend the court meeting.
At the court meeting, Li Benxin changed from his usual easy-going and sullen expression, and he rebuked the ministers: "The treasury of the majestic Tianbaosi was emptied by thieves. This is probably the biggest joke in the world in the past hundred years. At that time, the ancestors of the emperor In gratitude for the kindness of the four major families, I have specially divided the world's money, food, soldiers, horses, and property among the four of you. But now, the treasury related to the lifeline of the country has been stolen, and not a tael of silver is left. Such a huge breach of responsibility, you all should be held accountable What a crime!"
All the ministers bowed in unison to apologize. Xun Xijiang, Tianqing of the Tianqing Mansion, was the first to come out. He raised his posture and shouted loudly: "Return to the King of Tiandu, I have something to say. At the beginning, the ancestors of the emperor divided the world into four tribes. , the intention is to control, not to occupy. Since the four major families control the world's properties, they seem to regard the world as their family wealth. Tianbao Si Tianqing Yin Shaozheng is even more arrogant and bold, and dares to set up a treasury at home. This kind of behavior is greed. He is a great thief of the country. Now he has all the treasury stolen, and he has committed serious dereliction of duty. Please ask the king to conduct a thorough investigation and punishment of the Yin family."
Hearing Xun Xijiang's words, everyone in Sima Yue felt chills running down their backs and became alert for a moment. Unexpectedly, Li Benxin was going to play a double act again. Could he be taking the opportunity to seize the power of the four major families?
Seeing that Xun Xijiang took the lead in speaking, other officials in the inner government also wrote letters of impeachment.
Xue Yang glanced at Wu Sanwen slightly, and Wu Sanwen also shook his head slightly. Both of them were a little confused when they went to court today. King Tiandu launched an attack on the four major families, but they had no idea. Xue Yang and Wu Sanwen are both reserved people. They will not take action rashly until they cannot move the four major families. Li Benxin's actions today were indeed beyond their expectations.
If we really want to seize the power of the Yin family or the four major families today, it will inevitably cause huge resistance from the other party. Xue Yang also knew that Li Benxin was young and energetic, and if he stood up to express contrary opinions to him at this time, it would inevitably arouse suspicion between the emperor and his ministers, so he remained silent.
Seeing the quarrelsome people from the inner palace surrounding them, Sima Yue also winked at Kou Ling and others, telling them not to open their mouths to fight.
Li Benxin was also surprised. He didn't expect Sima Yue to be so weak now, and did nothing even after being forced into this situation.
After listening to the words of everyone in the inner palace, Li Benxin couldn't make up his mind for a while. Originally, he wanted to take the opportunity to seize the position of Yin Shaozheng Tianbao Si Tianqing and regain the power of finance and taxation in the world. He also guessed that Xue Yang and Wu Sanwen had too many concerns and might not agree. That's why Xun Xijiang and Li Jiudou were notified in advance.
He didn't want to go to court and face the responsibility of the four major families without any reaction, which caught him off guard. Like his grandfather Li Yilong, Li Benxin was very thoughtful and suspicious. He did not dare to make rash decisions when faced with a situation he could not see clearly.
Therefore, Li Benxin threw the chess game away, looked at Xue Yang and asked: "Prime Minister Wu, what do you think of this matter? You might as well speak out boldly."
Xue Yang also understood at this time that Li originally wanted to seize Yin Shaozheng's Tianbaosi, but now he felt guilty. He immediately stepped forward and said with cupped hands: "Reporting to King Tiandu, Lord Yin Shaozheng is now seriously ill in bed, and the silver lost in the treasury is missing. I think the most important thing at the moment is to recover the stolen silver. As for Lord Yin's fault, we need to investigate it carefully. , don’t make hasty conclusions.”
Li Benxin nodded when he heard this and said: "Xue Yang's words are reasonable. However, the three armies cannot be without commanders. Tianbaosi is the most important financial and taxation office in our dynasty. Now that Lord Yin Shaozheng is seriously ill, there should be a replacement. I don't know, do you have any candidates? "
Hearing this, Kou Ling walked out and reported: "This is to the King of Heaven. According to the laws of our dynasty, the Yin family should be in charge of the world's finances. Since Lord Yin Shaozheng is seriously ill, his younger brother Yin Shaocheng should be in charge."
"No! The world's finances and taxes can no longer be given to the Yin family. This Yin Shaozheng regards the national treasury as a private use and builds the treasury in his own home. It is already a mercy to not destroy his nine clans. How can he still let his Yin family take charge? If he does this, wouldn't he let the world People are laughing at you, and it has caused the Tiandu Dynasty to suffer huge losses." Xun Xijiang pointed angrily.
"Yes, we must never let the Yin family get involved in the treasury again. Report to the King of Tiandu, the Yin family has received heaven's favor, but does not want to report it, occupies a high position, but does not contribute to the dynasty. Everyone in the world calls him the Living God of Wealth. These thirty Eighty-nine percent of the finances and taxes of the six cities go into Yin Shaozheng's pocket, but only 12% of the dynasty's money goes into it. I suggest that the Yin family's accounts should be investigated immediately and all the evil deeds done by their family over the years be made public. Only in this way can the world's finances be clean." Lu Qiong, the quiet Tianqing Mansion's divine catcher, followed, tutting and shouting.
"Yes, Cha Yin's family, Cha Yin's family." All the officials in the inner palace shouted in unison.
Seeing that the ministers were unanimous, Li Benxin felt confident and asked: "Prime Minister Literary and Military Affairs, what do you think?"
Xue Yang cupped his hands and said: "This matter is of great importance. Moreover, Mr. Yin has suffered a serious stroke and cannot speak at this time. I am afraid that such an investigation will not be able to find out. Besides, there is not even one tael of silver in the treasury now, so it is difficult to compare. However, It is true that the Yin family built the treasury in their own home and it was stolen. At least they should be guilty of dereliction of duty. Moreover, the ancestors of the emperor had rules, and the Yin family should be in charge of the world's finances. Therefore, I suggest that Yin Shaocheng should succeed Yin Shaozheng, and of course Tianbao Si Tianqing . However, Tianbao Division must be brought under the supervision of the inner government. The inner government will conduct an inventory and supervision of Tianbao Division, and make a decision after everything is found out. "
Wen Xiang Wu Sanwen also followed up and said: "I agree with Wu Xiang's opinion. Since Tianbao Division is involved in the case, it is not appropriate for the relevant officials to be used again. Suitable personnel from the inner government can be selected and replaced. The world's finances must be completely sorted out. .”
"How is this possible! How can you people from the inner government interfere in the affairs of our outer government? Wouldn't this be a violation of the rules!" Upon hearing this, Qiao Bafang couldn't help but stand up and refute.
Wu Sanwen followed with a smile and said, "Master Qiao must have forgotten the rules. This world belongs to the King of Tiandu, and both the outer and inner palaces serve the Tiandu Dynasty. According to the law, the appointment of officials above the third rank must be approved by the King of Tiandu. King Tiandu also has full authority to decide on removal and promotion. Why do you want to declare yourself king instead of listening to King Tiandu's orders? "
Qiao Bafang was speechless for a moment, and then he remembered that there was no outer or inner palace, they were all subordinates of King Tiandu. In the past, Li Benxin was weak, and the four foreign governments colluded with each other, and Li Benxin did not dare to speak. Now that the situation has reversed, there is no room for resistance from the foreign governments.
Although Li Benxin was not satisfied with the ending, he was able to take over Tianbaosi at least. Immediately he made a decision and said: "Okay, just like what the Prime Minister Wu and the Prime Minister Wen said. Tianbao Division Tianqing will be temporarily replaced by Yin Shaocheng, and three more magic arresters and several arresting officers will be selected to station in Tianbao Division to check the accounts."
