"Master Zhao! We could all see Master Liu's team just now, why are they getting further and further away now?"
Liu Wenle noticed that Liu Chengfeng's team gradually disappeared, so he asked.
"Haha! As expected of Mr. Liu, His Highness the Crown Prince values him for a reason. He got the money and was worried about being robbed along the way, so he speeded up!"
Zhao Kun said with a smile.
"Well! This Liu Chengfeng is indeed very serious in his work. If he can stand with us, we will do a lot easier in front of His Highness the Crown Prince."
Liu Wenle said solemnly.
"Brother Liu, Liu Chengfeng is the Minister of Rites. I heard that there is still a vacancy for the Minister of Rites in the Ministry of Rites. You are very suitable for it!"
Zhao Kun said in a deep voice.
"Haha! Brother Zhao, you are kidding me again. Let alone a minister, even if you ask me to be lower in rank, I will be happy!"
Liu Wenle said with a smile.
Now that Liu Chengfeng had sped up, they naturally sped up and followed him. After Liu Chengfeng realized that these people were also sped up, he didn't dare to stop anymore and asked Jin Yiwei to speed up.
In this way, they chased each other, and the journey that originally took three to five days was suddenly completed in two and a half days. When Lin Fan looked at the fifty million taels of silver in front of him, he was dumbfounded.
"Your Highness, I am fortunate to have fulfilled my duty and come back with the money."
Liu Chengfeng said with a smile.
Lin Fan looked at Liu Chengfeng in disbelief, how did this guy do it?
Will those officials in Nanjing hand over the money honestly?
"Liu Chengfeng, tell me first, what method did you use to get them to hand over the money?"
Lin Fan asked.
"Back to His Highness the Crown Prince, Wei Chen arrived there. They invited Wei Chen to eat and drink. Wei Chen got drunk. When he woke up, they said they would give Wei Chen 50 million taels of silver."
Liu Chengfeng said truthfully.
this……
Lin Fan wanted to curse now. If he had known that he could get 50 million taels of silver so easily, why would he need to go to such trouble and just send someone to do it?
"Okay, you did a good job in this matter. Send these factors to the White Tiger Division of the Jinyi Guards first."
Lin Fan said.
"Yes! Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Liu Chengfeng accepted the order and prepared to take the silver to the Baihu Division of Jinyiwei.
At this moment, Zhao Kun, Liu Wenle and others arrived, shouting from afar: "Master Liu, please wait a moment, we can catch up with you!"
kindness?
Lin Fan looked at the people shouting in the distance. They were all wearing official uniforms, but they were not officials from the capital. There was only one answer, they were from Nanjing.
"You not only brought back the money, but also the officials over there?"
Lin Fan looked at Liu Chengfeng and asked.
"This... Your Highness, you are too flattering to a minor official. This matter has nothing to do with me. They probably regretted it after giving me the money, so they came here to ask for the money."
Liu Chengfeng said in a deep voice.
"Haha! Is there something wrong with these people's brains?
They gave away the money, can they still get it back?
Who is this prince?"
Lin Fan sneered, preparing to scold those people.
Zhao Kun and Liu Wenle were the first to run over, holding Liu Chengfeng's hand and saying, "Master Liu, you left in such a hurry. We wanted to enter the capital with you!"
"Okay now, we have finally caught up with you. You must introduce us to him. We want to meet His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Liu Wenle coughed twice and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Liu, we just want to stay in the capital. We will never steal Mr. Liu's limelight by doing a certain errand."
Forehead……
Lin Fan on the side was speechless. These people were not here to ask for money, but to ask for an errand.
Liu Chengfeng stood there with an embarrassed look on his face. These people are really ignorant. His Royal Highness is standing in front of you, but you don't know it.
"His Royal Highness! Hehe! I heard that the money has arrived, so I brought someone here to help you get the money!"
At this moment, Ni Yuanlu, the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, came with a group of officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs, all with smiles on their faces.
Several officials with gray hair and unable to straighten their waists when walking were now running like the wind, sprinting up to 100 meters in front of Lin Fan.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince! These are the coins brought back by Mr. Liu, right? Not bad! Mr. Liu, you have made a great contribution this time, and our Ministry of Revenue will remember you well!"
Ni Yuanlu looked at hundreds of carriages and kept patting Liu Chengfeng on the shoulder.
The officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs were wandering around the carriage and kept saying: "Great! Our Ministry of Household Affairs can finally be enriched!"
"Are you His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Zhao Kun and Liu Wenle also reacted at this time and looked at Lin Fan blankly.
Lin Fan said solemnly: "Yes, I am the prince."
ordinary!
After Lin Fan said this, Zhao Kun, Liu Wenle and others knelt on the ground.
"Your Highness, I am guilty and have come to the capital to plead guilty!"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, all the ministers know that they are wrong. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
…
Lin Fan was speechless. Why are these people so excited when they see him? You all honestly took out your money, and I can't really punish you.
"Everyone, get up. I don't mean to punish you. You can take out so much money at once, but you are considered a meritorious person!"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
Zhao Kun and others looked at each other with ecstasy in their eyes. His Royal Highness heard that he had forgiven them.
"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
A group of people stood up.
Ni Yuanlu squeezed Zhao Kun and Liu Wenle away, looked at Lin Fan and said: "Your Highness, it is most appropriate to put this much money in our household department."
Liu Chengfeng said: "Shang Shu Ni, you are late. His Highness the Crown Prince has decided to temporarily leave the money at Baihu Si Yamen."
"What?
Put it in Baihusi Yamen?
With so much money, our household department won’t get any at all?
Your Highness, you are too cruel to treat us like this!"
Ni Yuanlu said with a bitter look on her face.
Lin Fan said in a deep voice: "You must have a share in the household department. I originally wanted you to go to the Baihu Division Yamen to pick it up. Since you came on your own, take them all to the household department."
Hearing that Lin Fan was going to give them all the money, Ni Yuanlu was so excited that she jumped up. He hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "Your Highness, all the officials in the Ministry of Revenue are grateful to you for your great kindness!"
Then, he looked at the official behind him and said, "If you don't go find someone yet, take all the money back to the Ministry of Household Affairs!"
"Yes! Master Ni!"
The officials from the Ministry of Revenue felt as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood, and they hurried back to look for people.
Lin Fan felt a little embarrassed when he saw the officials in the Ministry of Revenue being so excited. According to his plan, the money would not be able to stay in the Ministry of Revenue for three days before all of it would be spent. He didn't know if they could withstand such a blow.
