Crush the Protagonist Into Slag

Qin Ruo's first reaction was to go to Tao Bin. She bribed the servants of Xuanjin Hou's mansion, disguised as a maid, and went in to find Tao Bin. No matter what, Tao Bin was her only life-saving straw. If the family gave up on her, she could only be imprisoned for the rest of her life by relying on the Qin family, or married away.

She could only escape and ask Tao Bin what happened during her detention.

Tao Bin was at the lowest point. Qin Ruo suddenly appeared, showing a bit of distress. If he blamed himself for not being with him, and scolded himself a few words, Tao Bin's heart softened.

In his opinion, Qin Ruo was the one who suffered the most. As a result, Qin Ruo heard that his side was not good, and even escaped to see him. How could he not be moved?

Qin Ruo quickly heard everything from Tao Bin. She almost suspected that her memory was out of order. The only thing that made her happy was that Tao Bin didn't fail the list because of his lack of ability, but was influenced by Tao Rui and didn't answer well.

Think about how much has happened during this time? How could Tao Bin not be affected? If you take the exam next time, you will still pass the exam. In other words, after Tao Bin becomes the heir, it doesn't matter whether he takes the test or not. If there is a shortage of opportunities, it doesn't matter even if he is idle, he is still the future prince.

Tao Bin wanted to save face, so he didn't tell Qin Ruo that the emperor would not ban him.

Qin Ruo felt a lot more at ease, because Tao Bin's attitude was obviously not blaming her, and he still had affection for her. Even because both of them are miserable, there is a feeling of pity for each other, which is her advantage. As long as she operates properly, she may still become the future Mrs. Hou.

Qin Ruo became more and more awake at this time, not because she didn't want to take another way, but because she wanted to be rich, rich and beautiful, so she could only take this way. The attitude of the Qin family, the attitude of the Tao family, and what others think of her are all determined, and she has never had another way to go.

So Qin Shuicui didn't want to think about Tao Rui's affairs, and only encouraged Tao Bin wholeheartedly, comforted him gently, and told him that he could do it, and he was the best.

Qin Ruo lived in a small yard rented by Tao Bin. In the deepest part of a hutong, she was taken care of by a maid and a wife bought by Tao Bin. She waited for Tao Bin to meet from time to time, and persuaded Tao Bin to work hard and find a way to help Tao Bin. To restore the reputation, disappear in front of people.

The Qin family found out that Qin Ruo was missing two days late, and sent people to look for it for a long time, but there was no news at all, so they had to give up. Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Qin lost a lot of white hair for her.

However, these people really stopped bothering Tao Rui and began to avoid his edge. Tao Rui also really drew a clear line with them and began to flex his muscles in new positions.

After Tao Rui was admitted to the top spot, the emperor did not let him go to the Hanlin Academy to be a sixth-rank official, but directly let him enter the household department to be a five-rank official.

No matter how ambitious the emperor is and what he wants to do in the future, the first step is to fill the treasury. Only when the treasury is full can he achieve what he wants to do. Besides, he is fifty years old, and the next few princes are very ambitious and start to restless, and they must think of ways to deal with finances. When the emperor let Tao Rui enter the household department, he also meant to investigate them and make them unable to touch the finances.

The officials had long known that the emperor valued Tao Rui, but they did not expect that Tao Rui would give him real power when he first entered the imperial court, making him a celebrity in front of the future emperor. For a time, the number of people who had friends with Tao Rui could not be counted. The princes who were watching before also began to secretly hand Tao Rui olive branches.

They have to be careful and careful. At first, it is just a test. Because Tao Rui is currently the emperor's person, they are not sure if they can win Tao Rui. .

The first empress gave birth to the eldest son, and was established as the prince at birth, but unfortunately the prince died before he was seven years old. The first queen would die in childbirth when she gave birth to the third princess. Most of the reason was that she lost her son at that time and was too sad.

After the death of the prince and the first queen, the emperor no longer established a prince or a queen. Now the highest-ranking person in the harem is the concubine of the fourth princess, Concubine Xiao. Concubine Xiao's son is the second prince of the present day. He is known as both literary and military. His performance is outstanding and he has many people's support.

After the original owner's reputation was ruined by Tao Bin and Qin Ruo, he took refuge with the second prince. When he was a dummy, he made a lot of friends. They have a good family background. Things that shouldn't be said. The original owner used these weaknesses to coerce and lure, expand his power for the second prince, and do shameful things for the second prince.

That's why the second prince was willing to give him some benefits, so that he could deal with Tao Bin, and in the process of finding faults again and again, Tao Bin grew up, got some benefits, and got a good reputation.

Later, Tao Bin took refuge with the third prince. The third prince's mother-in-law was Concubine Hui, the first of the four concubines, and she was not weak. Tao Bin took out all the family's belongings to support the third prince. At that time, Tao Bin was also set off by the original owner as the first prince again and again. He proved his strength by passing the jinshi examination, and gradually gained the attention of the third prince, and finally killed the original owner.

During the whole process, the original owner was like a stepping stone and a useful pusher. He insisted on fighting with Tao Bin and found fault with Tao Bin again and again. As a result, he gave him benefits again and again, killed himself, and fulfilled his opponent. Got the standard villain ending. Probably the biggest role in his life is to make Tao Bin grow up.

The original owner encountered such a future by accident, so he would rather give his body to others than face it. Now Tao Rui has no way of knowing who got the throne in the end from these memories.

In addition to the 22-year-old second prince and the 19-year-old third prince, as well as the 14-year-old fourth prince, who is also eager to join in and grab the heir. Further down, there is only a fifth prince, who is only 8 years old, still studying in the school.

Tao Rui analyzed the characters and powers of the second and third princes in his memory, and pondered it carefully. He felt that no matter what prince could be an emperor. The emperor is scheming, even if he is fifty years old, his ambition is still big. As long as he is healthy enough, he can't wait to live another five hundred years.

This is simple, Tao Rui doesn't need to care about the ability of the princes at all, as long as the emperor is healthy and long-lived, the princes will definitely be useless.

It happened that several princes were tempted. He also played Tai Chi smoothly and pushed them back. He didn't offend anyone and didn't let them understand what he meant. No matter how he looked at it, he seemed to be full of enthusiasm and wanted to do things well. , even if you don't join them, it is not a threat for the time being, and there is still a chance to win over in the future.

After Tao Rui used this method to appease them, he immediately began to sort out Da Zhou's finances as quickly as possible. The Minister of Hu was instructed by the emperor and knew that Tao Rui wanted to do something secretly, so he gave him a lot of convenience in the Ministry of Hu, covering him up when necessary.

The first thing Tao Rui did in the Ministry of Households was to recover the money owed by everyone to the state treasury and to rectify the chaotic part of the distribution of the land.

This is very offending, but Tao Rui used to be a scoundrel, and now he is relying on the emperor, who is he afraid of?

He put on the official uniform and took people to the door of the debtor's house to block people. He didn't know how he watched people, but he could bet people at the gate every time.

The first person he approached was Duke Shunguo's mansion, the home of the Huang Shizi.

Tao Rui blocked Shun Guogong and opened a bill, and read aloud the bills of Shun Guogong's many borrowings.

Duke Shun said with an ugly face: "Tao Langzhong, the three fires when the new official took office is not the same way to burn them. Be careful you burn yourself."

Tao Rui smiled and handed the bill to Leng Xiao, and responded neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Shun Guogong calms down his anger, and lower officials also act according to the rules. From the emperor to the beggar, debts and repayments are just and righteous, and no one is targeted. I hope Duke Shun will not make it difficult for him to be appointed, otherwise the treasury will not be rich, and it will be difficult to explain to the emperor when he is appointed."

Leng Xiao presented the bill to the person next to Duke Shun. When Duke Shun saw him, he immediately reacted. This person was the bodyguard that the emperor personally gave to Tao Rui during the competition in the paddock. To give three points of face. Tao Rui asked Leng Xiao to hand over the bill, making it clear that he was using the emperor to press him.

Duke Shun was annoyed, "Tao Langzhong is very good at holding chicken feathers as arrows. Fuzhong is in difficulty now, and there is no money for now. Come back later."

Duke Shun thought that Tao Rui would still be messing around, but Tao Rui smiled very neatly: "Then Duke Shun, let's take the time to collect the money, I didn't expect the seemingly beautiful Duke Shun's mansion to be so abject. It's really rude today, I'm going to say goodbye."

Before Duke Shun was angry at his words, Tao Rui had already taken people away, which made him feel a little bit confused by the second monk.

The next day, he deliberately entered the palace to ask to see the emperor. As soon as he entered the door, he knelt down and confessed his mistake. Tears were streaming down his face.

The emperor criticized the memorial while listening to him, and finally let him go back with a light smile to comfort him.

Shun Guogong was so proud, he knew that the emperor couldn't hold back his face to ask him for the money, otherwise he would have the reputation of killing the old minister. There are so many people who owe money to the national treasury. If he is the first to pay back the money, he will definitely become a public enemy in the eyes of everyone. This kind of thing must not be compromised. Anyway, the law does not blame the public, and no one can do anything about him, otherwise this account would not have been delayed for so many years.

But just when he was enjoying himself in the mansion, Tao Rui went to the house of Yushi Qi for a home-cooked meal, and then Yushi Qi took a copy of Duke Shunguo in the courtroom, pointing out that Duke Shunguo's mansion was releasing money from printed coins. He received high profits; Huang Shizi spent a lot of money in the brothel to spend the spring night with the oiran, and once sponsored a poor scholar because of the oiran, he interrupted the poor scholar's right hand, making him unable to refer to it.

At the same time, the Minister of the Household also listed, pointing out that when Tao Rui was rectifying the fields, he found that half of the fields under the name of Duke Shunguo’s government were of unknown origin. After further investigation, it was found that Duke Shunguo’s government was bullying others and bought it at a very low price. of.

A widow who was persecuted had nowhere to turn for help and threw herself into a river.

The emperor frowned and was furious, "The case is transferred to Dali Temple. If the evidence is true, I will definitely punish Duke Shun severely to set an example!"

As soon as the news of this incident came out, Duke Shun fell on his chair and sweated, and then he ordered Huang Shizi to be taken back from the brothel. When he learned that these things were leaked by Huang Shizi inadvertently over the years, he was very angry. Broke Huang Shizi's leg with his own hands!

However, it was too late. Dali Temple quickly checked the evidence, sent their family to prison, and sentenced Duke Shun to beheaded, and the rest of the family searched their homes for exile.

On the day that Duke Shunguo’s mansion was raided, Tao Rui led people to count the property of Duke Shunguo’s mansion in public and cleared the account.

This move to kill the chicken and warn the monkey directly shocked the hearts of all officials.
