The best little eunuch

Chapter 103 The Angry Princess
Chapter 103 The Angry Princess
No matter how you behave or do things, you have to think about the long-term. Lin Feng doesn't bother to do the trick of quitting after making a profit.

"My lord, don't worry. Although I, Qi Heihu, am not a good person, I still have my bottom line." Qi Heihu said to Lin Feng.Back then when his Black Tiger Gang made money at the docks, his men were paid more than other foremen.

Originally, the wages along the canal line were very high, but those foremen deducted them at will, and those coolies could only dare to be angry and dare not speak out in order to earn a living.And Qi Heihu's approach obviously got the support of many coolies.Therefore, when the Black Tiger Gang put out the banner of looking for someone, there was an endless stream of applicants.

"This is very good." Lin Feng said: "Come on, let me tell you about a new way of making money that I have just thought of, and see if it works."

"My lord, please tell me, my little one, listen." Qi Heihu said.

"It's like this." Lin Feng said: "What I think is, let's choose fifteen numbers from one to fifteen, and then ordinary people choose three numbers at will, which will be used as their credentials for participating in the lottery. Wait until three or a few days Afterwards, we will draw a lottery. What I imagine is that we will use a machine to draw three numbers in front of the people, and the person who guesses one number will win the third prize, and the person who guesses two numbers will win the second prize. Waiting for the prize, the person who guesses the three numbers wins the first prize, can you see if it works?"

After carefully thinking about what Lin Feng said, Qi Heihu said, "My lord, what does this lottery machine look like?"

"This..." It's really difficult for Lin Feng to explain to him. After all, the automatic lottery machine of the later generations did not exist in this ancient time. "Don't worry about what kind of machine it is, if it doesn't work, we can use something else instead."

"My lord, if you follow what your lord said, then we have a high probability of losing money. After all, it's easy to win a lottery by choosing one of the fifteen numbers." Qi Heihu said.Although he has never studied probability, he can clearly calculate it with his own understanding. This kind of winning probability is much worse than the previous lottery draw where you only earn but don't lose.

"You can't think like this. We can set the bonus a little lower, and it's not so easy to win." Lin Feng said.Although his method, the probability of winning the lottery is not as low as that of buying lottery tickets in later generations, but it is not much higher.

"Since your lord said so, let's try it. It's just that we have to carefully add up the bonus." Qi Heihu said.After all, if the bonus setting is overdue, then I will lose a lot of money on my side.

"This is indeed a problem, so in the past few days, see if you can research a suitable bonus number." Lin Feng said.It is better to leave such troublesome things to others.Comparing your own math is taught by the physical education teacher.

"Yes, my lord, the little one must come up with a feasible method." Qi Heihu assured Lin Feng.

News of the cooperation between Lu Shuai and Skynet soon came out, and an official Zuodu Censor Li Keyan was found out.

"My lord, we found one, which belonged to Li Keyan, the censor of Zuodu." Lu Shuai said to Lin Feng excitedly, "We wanted to investigate Liu Rufeng, but we didn't expect to find out about Li Keyan's past."

"What made you so happy." Lin Feng asked.Seeing how happy Lu Shuai is, it must be a big deal.

"It's like this. Our people found out that Li Keyan accepted a huge amount of bribes when he was the censor of Beiyou Province." Lu Shuai said excitedly. It will never be tolerated, so corruption cases are basically major cases.

"Is there any evidence? What is the exact amount?" Lin Feng asked.If there is no evidence, Zuodu Yushi may not be able to move. After all, Zuodu Yushi is also one of the leaders of speech officials, and he is not so active.

Shaking his head, Lu Shuai said: "There is no evidence for the time being. The one we found was also said by a person who used to be a master in the governor's yamen of Beiyou Province. He was a drunkard. Is his statement credible or not? it is good."

"Don't be afraid if there is no evidence. We can't find evidence, and someone can find evidence." Lin Feng said: "You send someone out to spread the word, and tell this matter to Li Henian's ears. But don't let people know, It came from us."

"Yes, my lord." Lu Shuai said, and immediately went to do it.

For Skynet, spreading news is much easier than collecting intelligence.Three teachings and nine streams, traffickers and pawns, are the most important components of Skynet.These people also contacted a wide range of people, and it took almost half a day for the news to spread among the people.

Naturally, Li Henian and his henchmen had also heard about it.For the distressed Li Henian, that was really a timely help.

"Li Xiang, no matter whether this matter is true or not, as long as we say it is true, it will be true." As one of Li Henian's confidantes, Sun Jiangsong, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, said.

"However, what if they can't get the evidence and they bite back?" Li Henian said, now he is not sure how the news got out.At this critical moment, such news came out, which made Li Henian suspicious.

"Whatever, Li Xiang, we don't care if it's true or not, let's play it up first. As for the evidence, we'll just look for it later." As the second-ranking figure in Li Henian's party, Lu Yihao, a political adviser, Said.

"That's right, Li Xiang, what are you worried about?" Understanding that Lu Yihao was self-conscious, Sun Jiangsong also said.Although this happened a few years ago, and the governor at that time had already retired, this did not prevent them from obtaining evidence.

"What if this is a trap deliberately set up by Liu Rufeng?" Li Henian said, what he is worried about now is that this is the rumor that Liu Rufeng let out, and the purpose is to let himself fall into his trap unconsciously.

When Li Henian said this, the other ministers also fell silent.After all, it is really unusual for such a news to come out suddenly at such a time.This is like when you are sleepy, someone will give you a pillow. How dare you use it?
"What should I do, my lord, do you have an idea?" Sun Songjiang, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, urged me a little anxiously.

"That's right, Li Xiang, there will be an early court tomorrow, we must make a decision early." As the number two person in the camp, Lu Yihao also urged.After all, they had suffered a lot during the morning court on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. If they didn't win a round, they would lose their hearts and minds.

As soon as he slapped the table, Li Henian said, "Gamble. Master Lu, you will start the memorial tomorrow and let's discuss this matter." Li Henian said after making up his mind.Although this is very likely to be a trap set by Liu Rufeng, it is also an opportunity. If he catches it, it may be impossible to drag Liu Rufeng off his horse.

"Okay, I'm going to draft the memorial now, and all adults can help me read it and make additions." Lu Yihao said, and immediately began to write.

At the same time, in Liu Rufeng's mansion.

"It can be said that the rumors about you accepting bribes are true?" Liu Rufeng looked at Li Keyan and asked with a serious expression.Originally, he thought that he would not be caught doing anything illegal, but in just two days, the news of Li Keyan accepting bribes spread all over the streets.

"Liu Xiang, this... this is indeed the case." Li Keyan had to admit it now.

"You're confused." Liu Rufeng said sadly.Originally, he trained Li Keyan as his right-hand man, and he even planned to elect Li Henian to be the left prime minister after he overthrew Li Henian, so that he would become an important force in his control of the Zhengshitang, but he never thought that Li Keyan would commit such a serious crime. mistake.

"Liu Xiang, there was no third person who knew about this at the time." Li Keyan said hastily.At the beginning, he found out some bad deeds of the governor of Beiyou Province at that time. If he reported the truth, then according to the rules of the court, the governor of Beiyou Province at that time was very likely to lose his hat.

When the governor of Beiyou Province found him, he hesitated for a long time, but the governor of Beiyou Province repeatedly assured that no third person would know about this matter, so Li Keyan accepted the money and gave it to the then Beiyou Province. The governor of Youxing Province gave an excellent evaluation.However, I didn't expect this matter to be found out.

"What did I tell you? The most severe punishment in this dynasty is corruption and bribery. Why didn't you remember my words?" Liu Rufeng said bitterly.Regarding bribery, he has repeatedly emphasized to his confidantes, but he did not expect that his most trusted right-hand man would make such a serious mistake, and it would be spread all over the street.

"Liu Xiang, you have to say something for me." After all, Li Keyan was still young, and he was not so calm when encountering things, so he immediately knelt down and begged Liu Rufeng.

Staring at Li Keyan, Liu Rufeng said, "Stand up for me. I've told you many times, don't panic when encountering things. Why haven't you made any progress for so many years?"

Liu Rufeng is really angry now.The person I trusted the most actually lost the chain at this critical moment, making my great plan come to naught.Based on his understanding of Li Henian.Li Henian will definitely hold on to this matter, and it is very likely that more problems will be involved.

"How much did you take?" Liu Rufeng asked, if the money was not much, he might be able to intercede for him, otherwise, it would be troublesome.

Stretching out three fingers tremblingly, Li Keyan did not speak.

"Three thousand?" Liu Rufeng asked.Although I think this number is a bit small, how much Liu Rufeng hopes that it is indeed this number.

Shaking his head, Li Keyan said, "3 taels."

"3 taels?" Liu Rufeng said angrily: "You are the censor of Yushitai, you know the laws of our Great Yan Dynasty better than me. Tell me, according to the law, accepting bribes of 3 taels, What is the lightest sentence?"

"Decisively." Li Keyan said almost tremblingly.

"Speak up!" Liu Rufeng almost growled.

"Decisively." Li Keyan said, almost exhausting all his strength.

Nodding his head, Liu Rufeng said: "You still haven't forgotten about this. It's the lightest thing to do. If the emperor is furious, it wouldn't be too much to sentence you to Ling Chi."
