Joy of Life: I'm really not a saint
Page 120
The image of the beautiful figure in his mind became clearer and clearer, as if he had never forgotten it. The woman's eyes were so gentle and bright, with compassion overflowing from her eyes. Fan Jian understood that it was compassion for the world. She was the saint in Fan Jian's heart, a real saint!
As for Li An of Northern Qi?
Steal your reputation!
There was more mischief in the girl's eyes, which was what Fan Jian liked most.
For the sake of the beautiful woman in his heart, he would not allow any problems to occur in the inner treasury.
"If only your Majesty, Chen Pingping, and I had not returned to our hometown in Danzhou, we would not have met you, and you would not have suffered such misfortune!"
Unfortunately, there is no if in everything.
The beautiful figure in my heart has always been just a brother worthy of respect. Even if there is no love, just the trust, who in the world can betray it? Who dares to betray it?
"Since this matter can no longer be hidden at the end, it is better to point it out directly! Let me put an end to this matter for Your Majesty!" Fan Jian said firmly.
"grown ups!"
The retainer looked sad, but in his heart he was more moved. He no longer called him "master", but changed his address solemnly.
This is why he has worked so hard for so many years and has not sought fame for Fan Jian. In his heart, Fan Jian has always been a loyal and good man. Even at this moment, he is still more concerned about the dignity and respect of the court.
"Sir! Please resign! For now, you should focus on protecting yourself. As long as you have the green mountains, you will never worry about lack of firewood!"
Fan Jian shook his head. All the years of persistence seemed a bit boring at this moment.
"I know that you are not someone who cares about power. The people who are checking the accounts now also understand this. They can still use this as a handle to bring you down. But if they want to completely eliminate you, it will be extremely difficult given your relationship and involvement with His Majesty! If you resign from your official position, it must be the outcome His Majesty wants to see the most. If you make a break with this, His Majesty will come forward to protect you and order the audit to end!"
"I also want to get rid of this burden and become a rich man! But now is not the time, I can't retreat!"
Fan Jian lowered his head slightly, and even his voice sounded a little hoarse: "Now the treasury is empty. Although I am not talented, I have managed the Ministry of Revenue for nearly ten years! No one knows better than me how much money the court needs now! If it were a prosperous time, I could let one or two mediocre people take over my position, but now is a time of trouble. Li An of Qi State in the north is eyeing it covetously, and wants to avenge your majesty's palm!"
"My son Anzhi is now in Jiangnan. He is in charge of the inner treasury's financial power for the first time. Even for him, I can't retreat!"
Fan Jian knew better in his heart.
He understood the importance of the old shopkeepers of Qing Yu Tang that Fan Xian brought to Jiangnan! They were a group of old people that even His Majesty could not kill and could only be placed under house arrest in Kyoto!
With their help, Fan Xian will take over all the arrangements and industries of the inner treasury in Jiangnan like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves, and take full control of them! His Majesty has put a lot of effort into the inner treasury, and letting Fan Xian take over is not because he wants to compensate Ye Qingmei, nor is it because he has any noble reasons, but because he understands that the power left by Ye Qingmei can only play the greatest role and power in Fan Xian's hands!
After Fan Xian takes over, he will use the inner treasury to quickly turn around the finances of Qing Kingdom and fill the empty treasury!
Just for this reason, Emperor Qing would not let himself resign!
As for how to end the audit, it is nothing more than making the fire burning on the Ministry of Revenue burn more fiercely! When the fire gets bigger and becomes out of control, it will naturally spread to the outside world and eventually burn on others!
By then, you won't be the only one putting out the fire.
"Let's leave this matter at that! It's getting late now, you should go down first." Fan Jian sat back in the chair and closed his eyes to rest.
The servant knew that he could not persuade him, so he just sighed slightly, quietly left the study, and then disappeared in the Fan Mansion.
After the guests had completely left, Fan Jian suddenly opened his eyes with a sneer on his face!
That’s right, everything and conversations that happened in this study today were just Fan Jian’s disguise!
This is his show!
This retainer had followed him for many years. Fan Jian could understand his character, but he could not see clearly what kind of person he was! Perhaps even this retainer himself could not tell what kind of person he was!
No matter what, Fan Jian was only clear about one thing, that is, this person was not his own - he was sent by Emperor Qing.
I treated him as my confidant and asked him to do so many things just to satisfy the wishes of the people behind him. My every move was in the eyes of Emperor Qing, and even the fact that I lost money playing mahjong with my son at home was known to His Majesty. All of this was almost explicit.
And today, my words of justice and loyalty to my master will surely reach the ears of Emperor Qing!
"Lin Ruofu, Lin Ruofu, if we talk about the way to govern a country and be an official, I am not as good as you, but if we talk about who knows Your Majesty best in the world today, I am afraid that even that old dog in the Supervisory Council is not as clear as me!"
Fan Jian laughed silently as if he was speechless, laughing so hard that he was out of breath, and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes!
This batch of silver was transferred from the Ministry of Revenue to Jiangnan, and the whole process was instructed by Emperor Qing. But when the incident happened, Emperor Qing angrily ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, and tacitly allowed the crown prince and the university scholar to dig deep and hard, Fan Jian only felt cold all over, and even a sense of absurd powerlessness.
He indeed knows Emperor Qing best.
He had already guessed this result.
Because he understood how ruthless Emperor Qing really was!
Fan Jian would not be defeated by the people around him, just because he would not trust anyone around him. Even Liu, who accompanied him every night, was on guard against him, let alone that retainer? Ever since the day Ye Qingmei died, he had made up his mind that he would never trust anyone in Kyoto!
Without trust, how can there be betrayal?
The silver was transferred to Jiangnan not to hedge against the Ming family, but to cover up for Fan Xian. Fan Xian had a huge amount of silver in his hands, but he didn't know where it came from or how much it was. Fan Jian just knew that there was such a large amount of silver.
If the Ministry of Revenue had not transferred the money, it would be difficult for Fan Xian to explain the origin of the money. He would have many concerns if he wanted to act afterwards!
Fan Jian had been dealing with silver for so many years, and he had some guesses in his mind. It seemed that his son was really brave. Was this a trick he left behind when he was on a diplomatic mission to Northern Qi? He didn't expect that he had actually teamed up with the person from Northern Qi before.
These are the facts of this whole incident!
With the news breaking, it seems that the cooperation between his son and Ang Lee has ended.
Chapter 230 Insight into Divine Light.
"Fan Jian has completely lowered his profile."
Listening to the news Sean brought, Li An fell into deep thought.
Li An was not very interested in the battle of wits and courage, or the grudges and entanglements between Fan Jian and Emperor Qing.
Having read the original text and knowing the general development of the matter, Li An certainly would not underestimate Fan Jian. Apart from other things, the fact that Fan Jian was able to turn the Emperor Qing's Tiger Guards into a private army loyal only to Fan Xian in front of Emperor Qing and under his nose was enough to show his intelligence and means!
"Now he can protect himself more than enough, it will be difficult for him to do anything else!"
Li An looked at Sean and said, "Don't let this matter end too quickly. Wait until more people are implicated before detonating this barrel of explosives!"
Although the two were far apart, Li An and Fan Jian had the same ideas.
"Powder barrel?" Sean looked a little puzzled.
"It's my fault. I didn't make the order clear. I meant to finish it off."
Li An explained with a smile, and then asked, "Where is Taoist He?"
"We have arrived at Qing Kingdom."
"Well, don't linger after the first thing is done, and don't give Emperor Qing any chance to react. Just make Fan Xian's life story public!"
"The Imperial Master has a firm mind, and I admire him."
Xiao En's calm expression concealed an unknown madness. He had been imprisoned by Chen Pingping for so many years. Chen Pingping was not only his enemy who killed his sons and grandsons, but also wanted to use Fan Xian to get the secrets of the temple from him!
It's really hard to let go.
I can only cooperate with the national teacher more and repay him well!
As for Li An and Fan Xian, they were friends at first, but now they can plot against each other without hesitation. It is hard to explain everything by their different standpoints.
Li An's eyes looked at Sean without hesitation, but very clear and calm.
Now that he had made up his mind and had a goal, there was no need to hesitate. Li An had grown up, and Fan Xian was no longer the rookie he once was.
He had already accumulated a huge amount of wealth through smuggling, and now he was setting up branches in Beiqi and Dongyi City. His intentions were self-evident.
What a way of a powerful official!
"Now it's official business, please pay attention to it, Lord Xiao." Li An smiled slightly, indescribably easy-going.
Sean's heart was filled with alarm, and he realized that Lee Ang hated others bringing up this matter.
"I understand. What about Miss Fan from the Hundred Schools Academy?"
"I know she was delivering messages for Fan Xian, but those messages were only because I wanted Fan Xian to know them."
Li An shook his head. He had no intention of involving Fan Ruoruo.
If possible, let Fan Ruoruo stay out of it and be a doctor who saves people.
But if the other party is tactless, or if the situation changes one day, Li An will naturally use her as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Fan Xian to gain the greatest benefit.
Li An could only say sorry for Fan Xian's action of helping his sister escape from marriage and sending her to Northern Qi out of trust in Li An's character.
I hope such a day will never come!
"I understand!" Sean said and left.
With Sean's departure, Li An's room became quiet again.
What was different from usual was that there was something extraordinary in Li Ang's eyes, with a green light that even ordinary people like common people could see with their naked eyes!
"This divine light of insight is truly terrifying. In just a short while, I have lost nearly 10 points of my stamina!"
Li An opened the system interface and checked it. At first, he wanted to find a bug because he found that if he kept using the Insight Light, his stamina would drop rapidly, and it was dropping faster and faster.
Li An wondered if if he turned it off and on at the same time, the speed at which his stamina dropped would be as slow as it was at the beginning?
Reality gave Ang Lee a hard blow!
The system says there are no bugs, so don't even think about fixing them.
"But the probability of seeing through is too low!" The moment Li An turned on the divine light of insight, it seemed as if the whole world slowed down. He could see Sean's breathing and heartbeat, even the movement of his muscles and the trembling of his eyebrows.
You can even guess what the other person wants to say just by moving the muscles of his cheeks and throat and analyzing the trembling of his tongue before he speaks!
Is this also a kind of alternative telepathy?
It’s good for bluffing people!
It's just that the probability of activating the ability to see through all the information of others is very low. Just now, Li An continued to look for a while before getting all the information of Sean, which is why Sean suddenly felt frightened and nervous.
The rest of the information was consistent with what Li An had already known, but there was one piece of information from Sean that made Li Ang particularly concerned!
That's life span!
Sean only has less than two years to live!
It seems that what supports him now is hatred.
After Li An recovered for a while and felt the rate at which his physical strength was slowly recovering, he summoned another servant into the room. After briefly explaining a few words to him, he turned on the divine light of insight again and began to observe.
In just a moment, the servant felt a huge sense of terror coming!
At the same time, Li An also got all the information about this servant!
It seems that the probability of seeing through varies with the other party's level of cultivation or identity and fate. The lower the cultivation and the shallower the fate, the less time it takes to see through!
"Master, is there anything else I can do for you?"
At this moment, the servant went over all the bad things he had done in his life in his mind. There was nothing wrong with this, and he worked diligently in the mansion.
"Go and call someone you know to come in, and then go to the housekeeper to get one month's salary as a reward for your hard work!"
Li An smiled slightly, and after the skill was turned off, the servant in front of him breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the master's smile at this moment was so easy-going!
It turns out that my efforts and diligence have been noticed by the master!
In just a moment, this person was full of energy!
"Yes, sir!" After saying that, the servant went out excitedly.
This scene has been going on in this room. The only difference is that Li An gave different rewards and punishments to everyone afterwards. But this action further proves that Li An pays attention to the mansion and knows every servant well!
The servants who were lazy before did not dare to make the same mistake again, and they worked even harder afterwards.
Li An's reputation in the mansion was rising, and afterward the story was spread out of the mansion by nosy people. There were many versions, and the content was very fantastic.
After looking through all the servants in the mansion, Li An turned his gaze to his disciples.
Thinking that everyone was busy with their own things and Zhao Tong'er was earning money for herself, it would not be a good idea to ask her to come over during working hours, so Li An walked out of the room and came to the front yard by himself.
"Tong'er, please continue. I will just watch!"
Zhao Tonger pursed her lips. The master obviously had time, but he just didn't tell fortunes easily. As soon as she thought of this, she felt the hairs on her back stand up and she felt a chill!
But this feeling comes and goes quickly.
When Zhao Tong'er turned around, Li An had already used the flash skill to disappear on the spot!
"Teacher, you are such a fool. You didn't even teach Tong'er this technique that can make you disappear on the spot once a day!"
When she turned around again, the person who was asking for trouble in front of her was already stunned and sat stupidly in his seat!
He saw the whole process of Li Ang disappearing!
"Please don't tell this to others, guest." Zhao Tong'er reminded with a smile.
