The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

"Master, what's on your mind?" Luo Ling'er looked at Zhang Fan who was sitting there alone thinking about something, and asked with concern, "Master is worried about Liu Shan's account books."

Originally, he didn't intend to hide anything from Luo Linger, but now that she saw it, Zhang Fan naturally wouldn't deny anything.

"That's right, it's for this purpose," Zhang Fan said with a sigh, "I've already determined that Liu Shan put it on the bright side, that is, the few account books that you are allowed to please and watch." It’s fake, and now I’m thinking, how can I get Liu Shan to show those real account books, so that I can have a better understanding of the whole thing, it’s been dragging on for too long,”

Hearing Zhang Fan's helpless tone, although Luo Ling'er couldn't fully understand the depression in his heart, she could hear something. Indeed, Zhang Fan spent too long on this matter. , When I came to Yangzhou, it had already started, but now, two months have passed, and I still don't understand the matter. Speaking of it, it really makes people feel uncomfortable.

However, this matter dragged on for a long time, for Luo Linger, there were two completely opposite views.

As far as she is concerned, it is precisely because of such a long time that Zhang Fan got to know her, and even had such a relationship with her. This is what makes Luo Linger most happy. Now she is very grateful in some ways This happens.

But on the other hand, for Zhang Fan, it must not be a good thing if one thing has been done for so long but still not done well. Luo Linger loves Zhang Fan deeply and naturally cares about everything about him. I understand that Zhang Fan must still have a lot of things waiting for him to do in the capital, but now he is held back because the things here have not been completed. Even if Luo Linger can't understand what Zhang Fan is thinking, she is very She wanted to share a part of it for him, so that he could relax a bit, even, she knew that Zhang Fan must be there, but in her heart was his wife in Beijing, and his unborn child, even if a man she loved was there. Thinking of another woman, even if Luo Linger doesn't like this feeling, as long as it is Zhang Fan's troubles, she wants to share a part of it.

Luo Linger knew that her deep love for Zhang Fan might hurt her one day, and it would be extremely painful, but she made up her mind in her heart that no matter what she would give, she would Keep your hard-won love, even if you are in a situation where there is no redemption.

"Sir, why are you so obsessed with those account books?" Luo Ling'er tried to enlighten Zhang Fan. Although she understood and wanted to abide by the "virtue" of women not to engage in foreign affairs with men, she really couldn't bear to look at them. Seeing that Zhang Fan was so troubled, "Now that Mr. Xiang has grasped the evidence that Liu Shan is the head of corrupt officials in these three provinces, he can just send someone to arrest him, so why bother here?"

"Hey, Linger, there are some things you don't know," Zhang Fan sighed, and said to her, "If you don't get those account books, you won't be able to find out which officials were involved in this matter. One, and the other is, if I don’t have those account books, how can I track down the dirty money stolen by Liu Shan and his gang? Originally, the matter about the money is no big deal, if you can’t find it, you can’t find it , Forget it, officials and imperial envoys who have always investigated corruption thoroughly, don't know how much dirty money they can't find, but they have nothing to be persistent about.

"But this time it's different. This time I came here not because of an official document issued by the imperial court ordering me to come and thoroughly investigate, but because the current emperor told me personally. I understand the emperor's meaning very well, except for In addition to rewarding what I did in Mobei at the beginning of the year, the most important point is that the emperor is short of money. Why, does it sound strange? The emperor who is the lord of the world is still short of money, Linger, The emperor can't do whatever he wants, even many times, being the emperor is very uncomfortable. Of course, the emperor can ignore everything and only care about his own enjoyment, but if that happens, the world will immediately become chaotic.

"I'm here to talk to you in the room. Your Majesty, this... is a little weird. Your Majesty wants to be a wise king from the bottom of his heart, but he is also a little... this... greedy for enjoyment, and spends money in the palace on weekdays." It's also quite extraordinary, His Majesty's internal treasury can't support such expenses, if His Majesty asks for money from the Ministry of Households, the ministers will be very dissatisfied, but the ministers may not be able to hold back the emperor, but today His Majesty he The idea of ​​being a sage and wise king is to make trouble, but he will not just reach out to the Ministry of Households for money, so the idea of ​​getting money naturally falls on the inspection of corrupt officials, so I have to get it. Liu Shan's account books and the money recovered, in this way, after I go back, I will have the money to pay His Majesty.

"Yesterday, Wang Meng said something to me, which made me feel that I really couldn't wait any longer. I was going to arrest Liu Shan on the spot. Anyway, I got a lot of money from him. I guess after returning to Beijing, You can use these to make a mission to His Majesty, what... You asked me why I took bribes from those officials unscrupulously some time ago, hehe, there is a reason for this, I am not afraid of someone making a fuss about it , In the future, I want His Majesty to impeach me or something, but I have the approval of the current Emperor to do so, even the imperial decree, so naturally I am not afraid.

"Speaking of which, yesterday I had already decided to arrest Liu Shan just like that, but at that time, I received a letter from Beijing. I got those few real account books from Shan. Those account books recorded something about a person. Someone wanted to use it against that person, but he was afraid that the person's accomplices would stand up and say something ironic to help him excuse him. , and the account book, which is clearly written in black and white, is the best evidence, and, first of all, the person who asked me for help has something to do with me, not to mention that I will ask him for help in some things in the future, so now Naturally, we can’t freeze our relationship with him, and that’s why we’re in the current situation,”

Luo Ling'er waited until Zhang Fan finished speaking, and listened all the time. Except for asking a few questions that he cared about, the others didn't say a word.

She can't really help Zhang Fan with these things. She can only be a quiet listener. However, this is exactly what Zhang Fan needs. Now he is very troubled and wants someone Come to talk about his troubles, even if he just said it, it would make him feel a lot better. Of course, he could talk to Wang Meng or Liang Chao, but he didn't, and he didn't know why, it was to maintain His own dignity in front of his subordinates was something else. Zhang Fan never told them what they already knew, and Luo Ling'er just broke in when Zhang Fan was troubled.

Maybe this person could be someone else, such as Yingyue, she would listen to Zhang Fan's words like Luo Linger, comfort him, and open a window for him to vent his long-term depression, and Zhang Fan would also not She would be stingy with her, but Luo Linger felt that these things didn't matter, as long as Zhang Fan could be comfortable, she would be satisfied.

"Forget it, why am I telling you these things?" Zhang Fan smiled self-deprecatingly. He seemed to think that it would be a bit ridiculous to tell these things to a woman, to one of his concubines, and said Get up, if you do this, you will appear even weaker, and you actually want to find a weak woman to vent your dissatisfaction in your heart. The difference is that this woman belongs to him, and this kind of weakness will only exist between them. It won't be passed on.

"No, Mr. Xianggong, you can tell this to me and let me know about my troubles. This shows that my husband also cares about me. As a woman and child, although I can't help you with any important matters, if you can help me Solving worries and problems, even if it is just a little bit, I am very happy physically and mentally." Luo Ling'er seemed to be afraid that Zhang Fan might misunderstand something, so she hurriedly said, "Besides, it's not that I can't help my husband."

"Help me, how do you want to help me?" Zhang Fan was very surprised after hearing Luo Linger's words. How to help him, but it didn't take long for Zhang Fan to figure it out. He had just come out and Luo Linger planned to help him, "Linger, don't you want to..."

Before Zhang Fan finished speaking, Luo Linger nodded. At this moment, what she was thinking in her heart was the same thing that Zhang Fan guessed.

"No, I won't agree, I won't let you do this," Zhang Fan rejected her loudly, his words were particularly fierce, as if he was afraid that if he slowed down, Luo Linger would do something stupid, "Linger , do you hear me, I don’t allow you to do this, I’ve already missed it once, but fortunately I could wake up in time last time, otherwise I would have made a big mistake, but even so, I’m still regretting and afraid I was afraid that it would be good if something happened at that time, but now, I will not let you take risks, "

Hearing Zhang Fan's deeply emotional words, Luo Ling'er nodded silently, expressing that she would listen to him and would not do stupid things, but her eyes were a little moist, and she suddenly felt in her heart: " It turns out that someone cares about my feelings, and it’s so good.”
