"Sir! I think lunch is to your liking. Would you like some more plum wine..."
The two jailers opened the cell door flatteringly. Zhao Guanren was sitting behind the desk, picking his teeth, with a pile of leftovers in front of him. He said, "No more drinking! I should go out after a break. Tell the brothers to stop for now and wait patiently for me."
Just the news!”
"Congratulations, sir. Let me change your clothes and go out cleanly..."
The guards nodded and bowed like a dog, but Zhao Guanren waved his hand and refused. He took a few packs of cigarettes and walked diagonally across the street. He looked at a gray-haired old prisoner and said with a smile: "Mr. Wu Ge! I can't play chess with you for the time being."
, you can keep these packs of cigarettes and smoke them!"
"Stop saying bad words and never play chess with me. This is not a good place..."
The old man walked to the fence and took the cigarette. Zhao Guanren smiled again and said: "There are only two possibilities for playing chess again, either we meet again outside or we meet in the sky. But I will remember what you want to say and I will definitely bring it to your family."
, you can rest assured!”
"Xiao Yin! You are like a dragon or a phoenix among men, and you will definitely have a bright future in the future..."
Wu Ge Lao patted his arm through the iron fence and whispered: "Go find my daughter. Under the plywood of the old red box, there is a precious Lei Xiu secret book. You can copy a copy and practice it carefully.
Although it is difficult for us thunder repairers, once we master it, we will become a blockbuster!"
"Okay! Got it..."
Zhao Guanren instinctively opened his right hand behind his back, and a purple thunder ball suddenly appeared in his palm. He crushed it with a "crack" sound. Mr. Wu Ge nodded with great satisfaction, thinking that he had set off an electric spark.
He praised him vigorously for his extraordinary talent.
"Mr. Ge! Just rest, I believe we will meet again outside..."
Zhao Guanren turned around and walked back to the cell. Thunder repairers were very rare in the Tang Dynasty, but he happened to meet one when he was in prison. When Mr. Wu Ge helped him open up the Qi sea, he immediately found that the repair power was still there.
It just lacks the profound energy that can be mobilized.
"Sir! Someone is coming from the palace, and I want to invite you into the palace..."
The jailers ran back in surprise. Zhao Guanren threw all the pieces of silver to them, put on his leather satchel and walked straight out. His cultivation level had reached the first level, and he was only one step away from being a grand master. He would have to practice for some more time.
Can break through.
"Yin Zhiping! Get in the car..."
A middle-aged eunuch stood outside the Tianlao door. Zhao Guanren walked out silently. He was no stranger to looking at the sun in the sky. He could come out every day to relax. If he didn't want to calm down and practice, the brothel girl would
Even my sister can be brought in for him.
"Has the prince promised to pay off the debt?"
Zhao Guanren got into the carriage and lit a cigarette. The middle-aged eunuch followed and said with a smile: "I agreed in public! But when I heard the amount, I was almost frightened to death. The emperor was so angry that he scolded his mother. Isn't this why I want to recruit you to the palace?
, they, father and son, are both eloquent!"
"Hmph~ They want to take money from me, but they are still a little naive..."
Zhao Guanren sneered disdainfully. In fact, he had already expected that someone would rob him of his business, so he started digging a hole from the very beginning. Even while he was in prison, he let Xia Buer and the others run the operation, digging the hole bigger and bigger.
Until the emperor dared not fill it out.
…
The carriage soon arrived outside the palace, and the eunuch put the shackles on him again. The imperial guard came to check again, and only after there was no problem, he was led to the palace wall. The guards outside the large tower were even tighter.
Apparently a lot of big shots came.
"Hua Hua Hua..."
Zhao Guanren dragged his heavy shackles upstairs. His hair was unkempt and his clothes were in rags. There was a strong stench from a distance. Not only the emperor and the prince were present, but also the three provinces and six ministries, the seven princes, the four princesses, as well as Fahai and Tianyang.
The kids all came, and all of them had expressionless faces.
"Yin Zhiping! You are so brave..."
Prince Ji said angrily: "You committed adultery with my Crown Princess. I thought that you were dedicated to eliminating harm for the people and never made it difficult for you. How could I have known that you actually deceived countless people behind your back and caused huge losses? These more than 7 million taels are yours."
If you can’t make it up, just jump off from here!”
"You yourself are incompetent and you accuse me of fraud. Can I take away more than seven million taels..."
Zhao Guanren walked up to the crowd without bowing and said: "Ask Bodhidharma Academy and Baiyunguan how many magic weapons I bought from them. The first order alone is worth millions of taels, and they are all equipped with magic masters."
, is there anyone who cheats money like this?"
"Oh? Seriously..."
The old emperor looked at Fahai in surprise. Fahai raised his palm and bent down and said: "I never deal with money matters, but I did hear that the Demon Suppressor ordered a large number of magic weapons, all of which are of the highest quality. The craftsmen and
The mages are still working on it!"
"Your Majesty!"
Tianyangzi also saluted and said: "There is indeed an order for the Demon Suppressor, but I don't know the exact amount!"
"Hypocrisy! What the hell did you do, Tianyangzi..."
Zhao Guanren sarcastically said: "The Logistics Director of the Zhenmo Division ordered three batches of magic weapons from Baiyunguan with a total value of 600,000 taels of silver. The other party asked for a benefit fee of 80,000 taels. You wrote a note asking him to go in batches.
Leader, do you want me to publish the note to the public?"
"you……"
Tianyangzi's face turned red immediately, and everyone immediately looked at him with disdain.
"Tian Yangzi! Not only do you assist petty officials in embezzling money and perverting the law, but you also condone the cutting of corners on magic weapons. What the hell have you cultivated, the way to make money..."
Zhao Guanren shouted sternly: "A magic weapon is a weapon to fight against demons. If there is something wrong with the weapon, our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty will die. According to the provisions of the "Gong Law" of the Tang Dynasty, the military armor should be made with officials as the model. Anyone who takes advantage of the stolen goods will be flogged fifty times.
Those who fill it with counterfeit goods should be beheaded, and those who supervise the fabrication are guilty of the same crime, and they will be beheaded starting from you!"
"..."
At this time, everyone in the audience was shocked. They were not afraid of the gangsters knowing martial arts, but they were afraid that the gangsters were educated. This guy had almost memorized the laws of the Tang Dynasty. Tianyangzi shouted in anger: "How dare you, a thief?"
You framed me, I didn’t cut corners!”
"I will keep all the personal and material evidence for those who dare to be scum and dare not be..."
Zhao Guanren said disdainfully: "Listen to what Master Fahai said. He said that the magic weapon for subduing demons only takes the cost, and supplements wages as much as possible. He will never cut corners, let alone give anyone any favors. This is the real
Master!"
"Amitabha! Almsgiver Yin has made false praises. The poor monk just wants to have a clear conscience..."
Fahai gave a deep salute with his palms raised. Tianyangzi, who was filled with shame and anger, suddenly stopped talking and knelt down suddenly and said: "Your Majesty! That day, the poor Taoist was upset by the Demon Suppressor. He was so obsessed that he agreed to pay the favor, but I really
I don’t know how to cut corners!”
"Okay! The demon master is also a soldier of the Tang Dynasty. If you cut corners, you should be killed..."
The old emperor waved his hands impatiently and said: "As for whether you know or not, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Punishment will jointly investigate and investigate, and you will know whether you live or die, but I just want to know how to make up for this huge deficit, Yin Zhiping! This is your fault.
Basket!"
"No! You stabbed this, not me..."
Zhao Guanren shook his head without hesitation, and everyone immediately looked at him in surprise. Even Fahai suddenly raised his head with an expression of "Don't seek death."
"What do you mean?"
The old emperor narrowed 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 shit basin on my head?"
"Have I ever owed a penny? Isn't that idiot Xu Shiming your minister..."
Zhao Guanren sneered and said: "You are the Nine-Five Master. Don't you know the deception below? Do you know how much profit I keep? 10%! I want to support four thousand craftsmen and one thousand magic masters, 90%."
All your money has been distributed to your ministers, is there anyone who wants to make money like this?"
"Bad talk!"
A minister angrily said: "If you divided all the money, how could so many people come to ask for the account? You are obviously using their money to lay eggs. Who is forcing you?"
"Haha~ After three years of purging the prefecture, one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver, Zhang Shangshu! Master Ling spent three hundred thousand taels, which is enough to make your whole family suffer 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 and let my goods leave the city? And you took away a hundred thousand taels of rebate, why don't you let me record it in the account book? I
A monk was forced to do this because of the corrupt officials of the Tang Dynasty!"
"What nonsense! These are two completely different things..."
Zhang Shangshu jumped up and said angrily: "You promised to deceive the sufferer with huge profits, causing a huge deficit of more than 7 million taels, and you started to take advantage of it without paying the money. If you have the ability, you can make up for the more than 7 million taels."
Come on, I will admit my dereliction of duty in public, resign and return to my hometown!"
"Zhang Shangshu! You are either stupid or bad. Don't blame me for exposing your background..."
Zhao Guanren walked to a table full of account books, flipped through them and sneered: "You bully the emperor and can't read the account books, right? Even if I pay back all the debts, I still have more than one million yuan not counting the inventory."
Where is the surplus and deficit?”
"What? A surplus of more than one million..."
A group of people's eyes widened. Zhang Shangshu was a member of the household department in charge of money. He immediately became anxious when he heard this and quickly called several accountants to check. However, even the old emperor stood up and said:
He put his hands behind his back with a doubtful face.
"You didn't even include the total value of the land. Fortunately, I haven't been beheaded yet, otherwise this bad debt would have fallen on me..."
Zhao Guanren said disdainfully: "The bank's rules are that the valuation must be cut in half, so the house land worth more than seven million yuan can only be loaned out for more than three million yuan. As long as the three million yuan is paid back, the house land worth seven million yuan will come back."
, these fertile fields and mansions can be sold at any time, will there be more than one million left after paying off the debt? "
"How can you settle accounts like this..."
An official from the Ministry of Household Affairs said angrily: "The people who wanted money took to the streets. They hung Xu Shiming up and stripped him naked. Most of the people here are your creditors. How do you make them not want money? Can the house deeds and land deeds you mortgaged be used?"
It’s all theirs!”
"It seems that you are not only stupid but also blind. The deed states that you need to apply half a month in advance to withdraw the principal..."
Zhao Guanren said loudly: "The approval will be completed within fifteen working days, and the payment will be completed within thirty working days. During this period, no interest will accrue. Even if shareholders apply now, it will take three months at the earliest."
Take the money, what do you want now?"
"..."
All the princes, ministers, and relatives of the emperor all looked at him with dumbfounded eyes. One official quickly took out his contract. After taking a closer look, he was surprised and said: "Really, the withdrawal period is really marked. Oh, why didn't it appear before?"
Be careful, this is not a scam!"
"Shut up! Is there really any surplus..."
The old emperor hurriedly stepped forward to inquire. A bookkeeper wiped the sweat on his head and said: "Your Majesty! If the debt can really be postponed, there will be only a small deficit on the books. If the land is really lost again,
If we sell them all, we can still have a surplus of more than 1.6 million taels!"
"Plop~"
The Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue collapsed on the ground, his face turned pale and he was sweating coldly. He knew that the trouble was big, and a bunch of money managers didn't know how to settle accounts.
"I'm a loser! I can't even calculate the accounts. What kind of money do you care about..."
The old emperor cursed angrily: "There are hundreds of deeds written in white and black letters. You dared to come to me to report it without reading it carefully. The people were so frightened that they almost mutinied. I think you are deliberately deceiving the superiors and concealing the truth from the subordinates."
, you all should be dismissed from your posts and investigated!"
"Your Majesty! If you don't chop off a few heads, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive..."
Zhao Guanren said with a smile: "I am about to die anyway, so I might as well give you another big gift. Tubo and Nanzhao will rebel soon, with a total strength of not less than 250,000. If Tianzhu takes the opportunity to attack Longyou again,
, half of the Tang Dynasty is... in danger!"
"What did you say?"
The old emperor's face suddenly turned ashen, and everyone present was stunned...
