Chapter 421: First day on the job! (Please subscribe, please vote!)

"Yes." Shui Ling nodded unabashedly.

Holding his little head proudly, like a victorious rooster, he didn't care about his aunt's joking eyes.

"He's here, it means he has me in his heart."

"Then tell me, it's been so long since he came back from outside, why is he not coming to see you until now?"

"With his status and high position, plus Jian Twelve and the others getting married, I think he will be very busy. This matter has just ended, and he can't wait to see me."

"..." Shui Rou was speechless.

This niece is hopeless and completely possessed.

Soon.

They cooked six more dishes, came out of the kitchen, and placed the dishes on the table.

Shui Rou smiled and said, "I've kept you waiting for a long time."

"It's okay." Xiao Ran shook his head.

The two sat down.

Shui Ling sat next to her, holding home-brewed millet wine and filling it up for him enthusiastically.

This kind of wine tastes very sweet, but has a strong stamina. Once the alcohol is strong, you can get drunk quickly.

They also drank a little, but most of them were drunk by Xiao Ran.

He didn't refine the power of wine, so he ate the food while listening to her explain every detail of these days.

With the Seven Treasures Glazed Supreme Holy Body in her body, plus the skills Xiao Ran taught her, and the pills left behind, the most important point is that Shui Ling practiced very seriously and very quickly. Now she has It is the cultivation level of Xuanzong realm.

As she became more and more proficient in mastering the Supreme Holy Body of Seven Treasures Glaze, she discovered that as long as she moistened the ingredients with her spiritual power, she could make them even more delicious and taste them without any side effects. There are also health benefits.

From then on, the first thing she did when she got up every day was to use her spiritual power to prepare the ingredients before starting to make breakfast.

It can not only improve her control over spiritual power, but also make her business better.

Now.

Shuirou Tofu Shop is already very famous in this area, but everyone nearby knows that even though this breakfast shop is simple and only has two aunts and daughters, there is a big shot behind it.

No matter it is the government, patrolling government officials, or scoundrels, they don't dare to take any chances with them, for fear of provoking the ironclad.

Today.

When it comes to Shuirou Tofu Shop, almost everyone in the capital knows about it.

"Not bad." Xiao Ran praised.

"If it weren't for You, I wouldn't be where I am now." Shuiling shook her head.

Seeing them spreading dog food, Shui Rou rolled her eyes.

Seeing that Xiao Ran had finished drinking the millet wine, he went to get another jar and brought it over. The three of them chatted while eating. In the end, Shui Rou and Shui Ling were both drunk and went back to rest first.

When Xiao Ran came out of the latrine, he took a look and walked towards Shui Ling's room with a drunken look.

Don’t delay when there are melons to pick.

When he got here, he pushed the door and found that it was unlocked. It seemed that the person inside had left the door open for him, but it was pitch black and he couldn't see his fingers.

Coupled with the fact that he was drunk, the stamina of the millet wine exploded, and he did not refine the power of the wine, so he staggered in...

The next day.

When he got up, Shui Ling and Shui Rou had already prepared breakfast. Judging from the girl's face, everything was normal and nothing could be distinguished, as if nothing had happened.

Shuirou, on the other hand, lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking when eating breakfast.

Leaving some cultivation elixirs to Shui Ling, Xiao Ran walked toward a certain courtyard in the east city.

For a while.

Xiao Ran entered an ordinary courtyard, but there was a universe in the courtyard, guarding some people, all of whom were highly cultivated. They were all members of the Divine Prison, and this was also one of the strongholds of the Divine Prison.

See him coming.

Xiao Mang and Xiao Yi quickly walked out, stopped in front of him, clasped their fists and saluted: "I have met you, sir!"

"Speaking inside."

Enter the hall.

Xiao Ran sat on the main seat. Xiao Mang made a pot of tea, poured a cup, and placed it respectfully in front of Xiao Ran.

Holding the tea cup, he held the tea lid and pressed it a few times, not in a hurry to drink it.

Ask: "Have anything unusual happened these days when I am not in the capital?"

"No!" Xiao Mang shook his head.

"With the support of the huge cultivation resources you have left behind, my lord, the Divine Prison has developed very quickly. Your requirements will be strictly implemented. As long as there are elites and those who are absolutely loyal, others will not be considered."

We chatted for a while.

Tell them that Zi'er will be in charge of the Divine Prison from now on, and then warn them to practice hard. It is important to develop their power, but improving their own strength is also crucial. Without absolute strength support, everything is a castle in the air.

Leave here and walk towards the Divine Sword Guard.

He is now the deputy sword master of the Divine Sword Guard. Logically speaking, he should report to the Divine Sword Guard on the day after the reward is awarded.

But I have a lot of things at hand, and I have been busy until now. I have no time until today.

Arrived at the Excalibur Guard.

The guard at the door saw him coming and saluted respectfully: "I have met the Marquis!"

"Yes." Xiao Ran nodded.

After just a few steps, Shen Yiming came out quickly, as if he was waiting for him, and said hello with a smile: "Here we come!"

"If I don't come here, others will say that I can't do anything with my salary."

"Who dares?" Shen Yiming rolled his eyes.

"Thunder Sword Master is waiting for you."

The two of them entered Lei Yuantai's hall.

In the main hall.

Lei Yuantai was sitting on the main seat. When he saw him coming, he walked down from the main seat and greeted him enthusiastically, "Here he comes."

"Yes." Xiao Ran nodded.

"I thought you would come in two days, but I didn't expect you to come so soon." Lei Yuantai said with a smile.

He warmly greeted the two of them to sit down.

After talking to the parents, we got down to business and arranged the duties he was responsible for.

Lei Yuantai said again: "There is something just for you."

"You said."

"On the night of Jian Twelve's wedding, the household department was stolen. One hundred million silver and some valuables disappeared. We are responsible for this case. We have been investigating for several days and there are still no clues at all. I I want to leave it to you, what do you think?"

"This case seems not to be within the scope of my responsibilities, right?"

"Yes." Lei Yuantai nodded.

"The deputy sword master who was originally in charge of this case has been killed by the murderer. If you don't come over, we will discuss and let other people take charge of this matter."

"A deputy sword master was killed? How come I haven't heard of this?" Xiao Ran frowned.

Shen Yiming rolled his eyes at him angrily, then took over and said, "You still have the nerve to say that? You've been so busy these past few days. Even if I want to find you, you don't have time."

Xiao Ran was speechless.

It is true that Shen Yiming came to see him twice. He was really busy at the time and had no time to receive him, so he found an excuse to decline.

I guess it was because the household department was stolen and the deputy sword master was killed.

However.

They blocked the news very well. He had never heard of such a big thing happening.

"What do you think? If you don't want to take over, I'll arrange for someone else." Lei Yuantai said.

"Okay! I'm next." Xiao Ran nodded.

Leave his palace.

The superiors wanted to give him a new office space, but Xiao Ran refused. He was still comfortable living in the previous courtyard.

Separated from Shen Yiming, he was also the deputy sword master and had his own work to be busy with. He took Xiao Zhou with him and a group of people and rushed towards the household department.

On the road.

Xiao Zhou chattered like a bird, telling everything that had happened to the Divine Sword Guard in the past few days.

Finish listening.

Xiao Ran knew it, and it was still the same as before, but even busier.

Especially after taking over a state of Zhou State, some martial arts masters of Zhou State felt aggrieved and wanted to take out Daxia, so they sneaked into the capital to carry out sabotage or murder.

At first, there was a lot of commotion, which caught Daxia off guard, and indeed brought a lot of losses to Daxia. As the court moved, the five major departments including the Divine Sword Guard took over the matter, and the situation became better. Point, suppress these people one after another.

"Brother Xiao, do you think this was done by people from the Xia Kingdom?" Xiao Zhou asked.

“It’s hard to say anything until it’s determined.”

While talking.

Everyone has arrived at the Ministry of Household Affairs. This is not their first time here. Xiao Ran has been here twice before, but each time it was very unpleasant.

Seeing that the people from the Divine Sword Guard were coming, the current person in charge of the Ministry of Finance was Zuo Shilang, and they immediately greeted them. He had just been transferred from the Ministry of Rites. As for the original Minister of the Ministry of Finance and others, they followed the Ministry of Finance. After all were stolen, they were all captured and imprisoned in the sky prison.

It's just that Xiao Ran didn't go to Tianlao in the past two days, otherwise he would know what happened here.

"I have met the Marquis!" Zuo Shilang saluted respectfully.

"Take me to the warehouse."

"Master Hou, please come this way!"

Under his leadership, we walked around and stopped at the warehouse.

The surroundings were blocked, and there was a seal on the door. The scene was well protected. Even so, the murderer also destroyed the scene when he left. From the looks of it, no useful information could be obtained.

Xiao Ran stepped forward and checked them one by one, then took off the seal, entered the warehouse, and checked again. He looked very carefully, not missing any place.

It took me a while to check the warehouse.

"Brother Xiao, do you have any clues?" Xiao Zhou asked impatiently.

Although he has a family and has matured a lot, in front of his own people, he is still the same as before, asking questions whenever he wants. This has not changed.

"Go to Tianlao." Xiao Ran said.

Leading them from the Household Department, Zuo Shilang wanted to ask something, but because his official position was too low, he did not dare to ask.

Arrived at Tianlao.

Let the other members of the Divine Sword Guard stay outside while he and Xiao Zhou go in.

"Brother Xiao, why are you here together?" Zhang Yu quickly put down his teacup and hurried up to greet him.

"Business matters." Xiao Ran said.

"Brother Xiao, did the Divine Sword Guard ask you to take charge of this matter?"

"Yeah."

“A lot of people were arrested this time, including the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. A total of more than 20 people were arrested, all of whom were high-level officials of the Ministry of Revenue. It can be said that all the people in the Ministry of Revenue were arrested. According to the requirements above, these people were all arrested. Detained on the eighth floor." Zhang Yu introduced.

"Let's go!"

Take them to the eighth floor.

Sit on the chair and ask Zhang Yu to bring the Minister of the Ministry of Finance.

The former high-ranking Minister of the Ministry of Finance was reduced to a prisoner overnight, imprisoned in the sky prison, still in the harsh environment of the eighth floor, and had to be tortured by interrogators. For him, living Worse than death.

But if this matter is not resolved, he will be stigmatized for the rest of his life. Even if he dies, he will be stabbed in the back. Even his family and the three clans will be killed. This is who he is. The reason for continuing to support it.

Being interrogated again, the Minister of Household Affairs no longer had any hope.

It has been a few days since the case occurred, but the people in the imperial court are good. They usually think more about bragging than anything else. When the critical moment comes, they are asked to solve the case without any regulations.

As of now, there are no clues, let alone catching the murderer.

Like a walking zombie, he was brought over by Zhang Yu and stopped in front of Xiao Ran.

"Hou, Mr. Hou?"

Shang Shu's old eyes lit up and he shouted excitedly.

He had heard about Xiao Ran's name countless times, and he was also present when God consecrated him in the main hall.

Seeing him here, I thought of Xiao Ran's other official position, the deputy sword master of the Divine Sword Guard. So wouldn't this matter be left to his management?

It's like a drowning child who sees hope and feels that he can get out of here for the first time.

"Sit." Xiao Ran pointed to the chair opposite.

A jailer pulled the chair open, removed the chains on his hands and feet, and asked him to sit across from him.

Poured a cup with the teapot and placed it in front of him.

"Thank you!" Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance was grateful.

After becoming a prisoner, I felt respected again. The person facing me was Xiao Ran, a powerful person in Daxia.

Drink the tea in one gulp.

Put down the teacup and asked seriously: "Is the Marquis here for this matter?"

"Yes." Xiao Ran responded.

"I am now responsible for this matter and tell you everything you know."

The Minister of the Ministry of Finance did not hide anything and truthfully told what happened.

I learned from his mouth that nothing unusual happened that day as usual, but in the middle of the night, the Excalibur Guards broke in and arrested him and his family. , and also told him that the household department was stolen, 100 million silver disappeared, and there were some precious treasures.

For him, this news was like a nightmare, like a man sitting at home and disaster coming from the sky, knocking him down to dust.

Finished.

The Minister of Revenue looked at him quietly, not daring to disturb Xiao Ran's analysis.

"Take him down and take good care of him." Xiao Ran ordered.

Zhang Yu waved his hand, and the jailer took him down.

When he disappeared, Xiao Zhou asked the doubts in his heart: "Brother Xiao, do you really believe him?"

The warehouse is guarded by a formation. No one knows the formation except him, but judging from the signs they checked, the formation is intact and has not been destroyed by external forces. It is obvious that someone opened the formation before entering. in.

"Yes." Xiao Ran nodded.

"Whether a person is lying, you can tell by looking at his eyes. If he is really lying, no matter how hard he hides it, the truth will be revealed."

At his level, he has seen too many scenes. Whether a person is lying again can be seen at a glance.

It was precisely because of this that he was asked to sit down and gave the following instructions.

"Bring the left minister of household affairs."
