Chapter 421 First day in office! Begging for the moon
"Yes." Shuiling nodded without any concealment.
He proudly held his little head, like a rooster who was driving with great success, and didn't care about my aunt's joking eyes.
"He comes, which means I'm in my heart."
"Then tell me, he has been back from outside for so long, why did he only see you now?"
"As he is in a high position, and Jian Shier and the others get married, I think it's very busy. The matter has just ended, so I can't wait to see me."
"..." Shui Rou was speechless.
This niece is helpless and completely possessed.
soon.
They cooked six more dishes, came out of the kitchen, and placed them on the table.
Shui Rou smiled and said, "I've made you wait for a long time."
"It's okay." Xiao Ran shook his head.
The two sat down.
Shuiling sat next to her, holding her own brewed millet wine and enthusiastically filled it with him.
This kind of wine is very sweet to drink, but it has a lot of energy. When the alcohol comes, you will be drunk soon.
They also drank a little, but most of them were still drunk by Xiao Ran.
He didn't refine his alcohol power, and listened to her explaining every bit of these days while eating.
With the Supreme Holy Body of Seven Treasures, plus the skills taught to her by Xiao Ran, and the elixirs left behind. The most important thing is that Shui Ling practiced very seriously and was very fast. Now she is in the Xuanzong realm.
cultivation.
She has become more and more proficient in mastering the supreme holy body of the Seven Treasures Glazed Glazed Glazed Holy Body. She found that as long as she uses spiritual power to moisten the ingredients, she can make their deliciousness go to the next level. She has no sequelae to eat, and it is also healthy.
There are benefits.
From then on, the first thing she did every day when she woke up was to use her own spiritual power to cultivate the ingredients and then start making breakfast.
It not only enhances her control over spiritual power, but also makes business better.
Until now.
Shuirou Tofu Pao is already very famous in this area, but everyone nearby knows that although this restaurant is simple in order, there are only two aunts, but there are big people behind it.
Whether it is the government, patrol yamen runners, or the scoundrels, they dare not make any decisions about them, for fear of provoking iron.
now.
When it comes to Shuirou Tofu Shop, almost everyone in the capital knows it.
"Not bad." Xiao Ran praised.
"If it weren't for me, I wouldn't be who I am now." Shui Ling shook her head.
Seeing them showing off their food, Shui Rou rolled her eyes.
Seeing that Xiao Ran had finished drinking millet wine, he went to pick up another jar. The three of them ate and chatted. In the end, Shui Rou and Shui Ling were drunk and went back to rest first.
When Xiao Ran came out of the cottage, he looked at it, and with a drunken look, he walked towards Shui Ling's room in one step.
Don't delay picking melons.
When he arrived here, he pushed the door and the door was not locked. It seemed that the person inside had left the door for him, but it was pitch black and he couldn't see his five fingers.
In addition, he was drunk and had an explosive momentum in Xiaomi wine, and he had no ability to refine the wine, so he walked in staggeringly...
The next day.
When he got up, Shuiling and Shuirou had already prepared breakfast. Judging from the girl's face, everything was normal and she couldn't tell anything, as if nothing had happened.
However, Shui Rou was thinking when she was having breakfast, and she lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking.
Leave some cultivation pills to Shui Ling, and Xiao Ran walked towards a yard in Dongcheng.
After a while.
Xiao Ran entered an ordinary yard, but there was a universe in the yard, guarding some people, and they were all in their cultivation. They were all from the Divine Prison, and this was also one of the strongholds of the Divine Prison.
Seeing him coming.
Xiao Mang and Xiao Yi walked out from inside, stopped in front of him, and bowed: "I have seen you sir!"
"Talking inside."
Entering the hall.
Xiao Ran sat on the main seat, Xiao Mang brewed a pot of tea, poured a cup, and placed it respectfully in front of Xiao Ran.
He held the tea cup and the tea lid for a few times, but he didn't rush to drink it.
He asked, "Are any abnormalities happening in the capital these days?"
"No!" Xiao Mang shook his head.
"With the huge cultivation resources you stayed with, the Divine Prison has developed very quickly and strictly enforces your requirements. As long as the elites and absolutely loyal people are not considered by others."
Talked for a while.
Tell them that Zi'er will be responsible for the Divine Prison in the future, and then warn them to practice well. It is important to develop their power, but the improvement of their own strength is also very important. Without absolute strength support, everything is a castle in the air.
Leave here and walk towards the Divine Sword Guard.
He is now the deputy sword master of the Divine Sword Guard. Logically speaking, he should have gone to the Divine Sword Guard to report on the day after the reward.
But I have a lot of things to do and I’ve been busy until now, and I’m not free until today.
Arrived at the Divine Sword Guard.
When the guard at the door saw him coming, he saluted respectfully: "I have met the Marquis!"
"Yes." Xiao Ran nodded.
Just after walking a few steps, Shen Yiming quickly came out of it, as if waiting for him, and greeted him with a smile: "Here you come!"
"If I can't come again, others will say that I will not do anything with my salary."
"Who dares?" Shen Yiming rolled his eyes.
"Lord Lei Sword is waiting for you."
The two of them kept entering Lei Yuantai's hall.
In the main hall.
Lei Yuantai sat in the main seat. When he saw him coming, he walked down from the main seat and warmly greeted him, "Here you come."
"Yes." Xiao Ran nodded.
"I thought you would come in two days, but I didn't expect it to come so soon." Lei Yuantai smiled.
He greeted the two of them warmly and sat down.
After talking about the parents, I got to the point and arranged the position he was in charge.
Lei Yuantai said again: "I have something to hand over to you."
"you say."
"On the night when Jian Twelve and their wedding, the Ministry of Revenue was stolen, 100 million silver, and some treasures disappeared. We are responsible for this case. We have been investigating for a few days, but there is still no clue. I want to hand it over to
You do it, what do you think?"
"It seems that this case does not fall within my responsibilities, right?"
"Yes." Lei Yuantai nodded.
"The deputy sword master who was originally in charge of this case has been killed by the murderer. If you can't come again, we have to discuss and let other people be responsible for this matter."
"A deputy sword master was killed? Why haven't I heard of this?" Xiao Ran frowned.
Shen Yiming gave him a look in anger, took over and said, "You are so embarrassed to say it? In the past few days, you are busy like something. Even if I want to find you, you don't have time."
Xiao Ran was speechless.
It was true that Shen Yiming had looked for him twice. He was really busy at that time and had no time to receive him, so he found a reason to refuse.
It seems that it is because the Ministry of Revenue was stolen and the Deputy Sword Master was killed.
but.
Their news was blocked very well. He had never heard of such a big thing.
"What do you think? If you don't want to take over, I'm arranging someone else." Lei Yuantai said.
"Okay! I'm going to go." Xiao Ran nodded.
Leave his palace.
The superiors wanted to change him to a new office space, but Xiao Ran refused, but he still lived in the yard in the past.
After being separated from Shen Yiming, he was also the deputy sword master and had his own work to work. He took Xiao Zhou with him and rushed to the Ministry of Revenue with a group of people.
On the way.
Xiao Zhou was whispering like a bird, telling everything that happened to the Divine Sword Guard these days.
After listening.
Xiao Ran knew it, but it was still the same as before, but it was even busier.
Especially after robbing Zhou State, some of the martial arts powerhouses in Zhou State felt depressed and wanted to vent their anger on Daxia, they sneaked into the capital and specialized in sabotage, or killed people.
At first, the noise was very loud, and it caught Daxia off guard, which indeed caused considerable losses to Daxia. As the court moved, the five major departments including the Divine Sword Guard took over the matter. This was better.
These people suppressed one after another.
"Brother Xiao, did you think this was done by people from Xia Kingdom?" Xiao Zhou asked.
"It's hard to say anything before it's certain."
While talking.
Everyone has arrived at the Ministry of Revenue. This is not the first time I have been here. Before that, Xiao Ran has been here twice, but every time it has a very unpleasant mess.
Seeing the Divine Sword Guard coming, the current head of the Ministry of Revenue was the Left Minister, and immediately came up. He had just been transferred from the Ministry of Rites. As for the original Minister of Revenue and others, the Ministry of Revenue was stolen.
Afterwards, all of them were taken down and imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison.
Xiao Ran hasn't been to the Heavenly Prison these two days, otherwise he would have known what happened here.
"I have met the Marquis!" The Left Minister saluted respectfully.
"Take Benhou to the warehouse."
"Mr. Marquis, please come here!"
Under his leadership, he walked around and stopped in the warehouse.
The surroundings were blocked, and there were seals on the gate. The scene was well protected. Even so, the murderer also destroyed the scene when he left. From the moment he saw that he could not get any useful news.
Xiao Ran stepped forward, checked it one by one, then lifted the seal down, entered the warehouse, and checked it again. He looked at it very carefully and did not let go of every place.
It took a while to check the warehouse.
"Does Brother Xiao have any clues?" Xiao Zhou asked impatiently.
Although he has become a family and has become much more mature, he is still the same in front of his own people. He asks whatever he wants, but this has not changed.
"Go to the Heavenly Prison." Xiao Ran said.
He took them away from the Ministry of Revenue, and the Left Minister wanted to ask something, but because his official position was too low, he didn't dare to ask at all.
Arrived at the prison.
Let the others of the Divine Sword Guard guard be outside, and he and Xiao Zhou go in.
"Brother Xiao, why are you here together?" Zhang Yu quickly put down the teacup and quickly met him.
"The affairs of the Ministry of Revenue." Xiao Ran said.
"Brother Xiao, the Divine Sword Guard let you be responsible for this?"
"Um."
"This time, many people were arrested, including the Minister of Revenue, and a total of more than 20 people were arrested. They were all senior officials of the Ministry of Revenue. It can be said that the Ministry of Revenue was caught in one go. According to the above requirements, these people were detained in
The eighth floor.” Zhang Yu introduced.
"Walk!"
Take them to the eighth floor.
Sitting on the chair, Zhang Yu brought the Minister of Revenue.
Since the former high-ranking Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he has been reduced to prison overnight, being imprisoned in the heavenly prison, or in the harsh environment of the eighth floor, and being tortured by the interrogated people. For him, living is more than death
It's going to be uncomfortable.
But if this matter is not resolved, he will be stigmatized for the rest of his life. Even if he dies, he will be stabbed in the back. Even his family and the three tribes will be killed. This is what he has always supported.
The reason.
He was arraigned again, and the Minister of Revenue no longer had any hope.
It has been a few days since the incident, but the people from the court are so good that they are more sarcastic than anything else in their daily lives. When the critical moment comes, they will solve the case and not take out any constitution.
After finding out now, let alone catching the murderer, there is no clue.
Like a walking corpse, Zhang Yu was brought over and stopped in front of Xiao Ran.
"Hao, Marquis?"
The Minister of Revenue's eyes lit up and shouted excitedly.
He had heard of Xiao Ran's name countless times. When God enthroned him in the hall, he was also present.
Seeing him here, I thought of Xiao Ran’s other official position, the deputy sword master of the Divine Sword Guard. In this way, wouldn’t this matter be left to him to manage?
It's like a drowning child who sees hope and feels that he can walk out from here for the first time.
"Sit." Xiao Ran pointed to the chair opposite.
A jailer pulled the chair away, then opened the iron chains on his hands and feet, and let him sit opposite him.
He took the teapot and poured a cup and placed it in front of him.
"Thank you!" The Minister of Revenue was grateful.
After becoming a prisoner, he felt respect again. The person opposite him was Xiao Ran, the powerful and powerful person in Daxia.
Drink the tea in one sip.
Put down the teacup and asked seriously: "Did the Marquis come for this?"
"Yes." Xiao Ran responded.
"I am now in charge of this matter and say everything you know."
The Minister of Revenue did not hide it and truthfully told the story.
From his mouth, he learned that the day was as usual, nothing unusual happened. But in the second half of the night, the Divine Sword Guard broke in and arrested him and his family.
Tell him that the Ministry of Revenue was stolen, 100 million silver disappeared, and some precious treasures were also there.
This news was simply a nightmare for him. It was like a person sitting at home, and disaster came from heaven, killing him from heaven to dust.
After saying that.
The Minister of Revenue looked at him quietly, not daring to disturb Xiao Ran's analysis.
"Take him down and take good care of him." Xiao Ran ordered.
Zhang Yu waved his hand and the jailer took him down.
When he disappeared, Xiao Zhou asked out the doubts in his heart: "Brother Xiao, do you really believe in him?"
The warehouse has a formation guarding, and no one except him knows the formation technique, but judging from the signs they checked, the formation was intact and not destroyed by external forces. It was obvious that someone opened the formation and then entered.
"Yes." Xiao Ran nodded.
"If a person is lying, you can find out if he looks at his eyes. If he is really lying, no matter how much he hides, he will be exposed."
When he reached his level, he had seen too many scenes. Whether a person would lie again can be seen at a glance.
It was precisely because of this that he sat down and gave him the instructions behind him.
"Bring the Left Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."
