"Master Xiao, all this grain has been sent to a designated rice shop in the capital and has been exchanged for silver!"
Although he had guessed the result a long time ago, Xiao Fan's face turned cold instantly when he heard the answer.
"Who ordered this?"
The man was frightened and didn't know how to start.
Xiao Fan had no patience to waste time with him, "Master Xiao!"
"I'll tell you! I'll tell you! It was my uncle! It was my uncle who asked me to do it!" the man spoke quickly.
Xiao Fan's face suddenly darkened.
Just as he thought, the Liu family was indeed involved in this matter!
He had received information from Gu Bufan before that this Liu had been colluding with the Huns a long time ago, and now he even dared to touch the disaster relief grain of his Xiao Mansion. Xiao Fan didn't believe that Liu had nothing to do with it!
Humph, this Minister Liu is really brave!
How dare you covet the things from his Xiao Mansion!
"Which rice shop?" Xiao Fan asked again with a cold snort.
The man had already revealed the mastermind behind the incident, so he had nothing left to hide. He quickly said, "It's the Tianhe Rice Shop. The shopkeeper's surname is Zhang!"
"How much silver did you change?"
"I exchanged it for about 30 million taels of silver..."
Xiao Fan was horrified when he heard this.
How much silver does the entire Great Yan treasury earn annually? I had persuaded Xiao Chengshan to give away all his wealth just for a few pounds of refugees, and yet in just half a month, the man surnamed Liu had negotiated for more than 30 million taels!
Compared with the guy named Liu, my cheap father is nothing!
Xiao Fan thought about this and forced himself to calm down.
Now that I have all the information I want, there is no need to waste any more time.
"This fellow dared to covet the relief grain from my Xiao Mansion. Xiao Da, hang him up for me. Give him one meal a day and two taels of water. Don't let him die!"
When the man heard this, his face turned pale.
"Mr. Xiao, how could you..."
"What are you hesitating about? Get started!"
Xiao Fan kicked the man away and shouted angrily.
Seeing this, Xiao Da and Tianba didn't waste any more time and directly picked the man up.
The man was hung up alive and fell on a nearby tree. His head began to swell with blood while hanging upside down.
This order was given by Xiao Fan himself, and no one at the scene dared to rescue anyone.
For a time, this scene became a common sight in the refugee camp.
Seeing the corrupt officials receiving the punishment they deserved, the refugees applauded and cheered, feeling very happy.
And now that they saw Xiao Fan, they were even more convinced that how could such a good man like Mr. Xiao be a playboy?
It must be those who are jealous of Young Master Xiao and spread rumors maliciously!
At this moment, Xiao Fan has become almost a legend in the hearts of these refugees.
In the eyes of the refugees, if Mr. Xiao was not a truly good person, how could he care about such things?
It seems that they really misunderstood this Young Master Xiao before!
Xiao Fan sat in the carriage, and the carriage left quickly. Xiao Fan was thinking about this matter in his mind and did not notice the voices of the refugees discussing at all.
Xiao Da was responsible for driving, while Tianba and Qinglian sat next to Xiao Fan.
The two looked at Xiao Fan, many thoughts in their minds.
They admitted that their views on Xiao Fan had completely changed.
Maybe Xiao Fan is indeed a playboy, but is his disregard for the law directed at those powerful playboys who also disregard the law? In fact, when facing the people, Xiao Fan is actually doing things sincerely!
The two were still thinking about this when they remembered what the man had just said.
Thinking of this, the two of them felt complicated.
In fact, as Jinyiwei, they naturally knew about the shady dealings between the officials in the capital.
Now Xiao Fan had beaten someone like this and even hung him up. Although Xiao Chengshan was indeed very powerful in the court, the Liu family was not someone to be trifled with.
Not to mention that there is a favored imperial concubine in the other party's family, even Minister Liu, as the Minister of War, really has power in his hands!
Especially since these two are sworn enemies on a daily basis, and now Xiao Fan beat up Minister Liu's nephew, which is simply adding fuel to the fire!
Thinking of this, the two of them couldn't help but feel frightened.
Xiao Fan didn’t know what the two of them were thinking. At this moment, Xiao Fan was still thinking about what happened today.
His thoughts were similar to those of the other two.
Xiao Fan naturally knew how troublesome his behavior today was, and he was afraid that the man surnamed Liu would not let it go easily after this.
But all this money was earned by their cheap father with great effort, and now it has been taken away by the man named Liu. How can they be willing to accept this?
It would be fine if it were an ordinary time, but this money is used to support so many refugees!
Thinking about this, Xiao Fan felt a chill in his heart.
Let’s make enemies, there’s already a grudge between them because of Liu Ji’s incident.
What's more, this matter...
Xiao Fan already had his own ideas.
Even if His Majesty knew about this, I would not be afraid.
Xiao Fan was thinking about these things when suddenly an idea flashed through his mind, and then Xiao Fan suddenly opened his eyes.
His eyes lit up and his heartbeat gradually quickened.
He did not forget that he came to the refugee camp for the sake of people's hearts and wanted to use people's hearts to deal with Gu Bufan.
But given the current situation, he plans to change his plan.
As a man, who doesn’t want to enjoy rights and who doesn’t want to stand at the pinnacle of power?
Now that things have come to this, why not give it a try?
He is now the Duke of Protectorate, which is completely different from before.
What's more, he and Gu Bufan are now at war to the death, so he has no scruples anymore!
Wouldn't it be better to stay in Dayan and build a career than to run to the border? Moreover, if Gu Bufan really didn't let him go, even if he really ran to the border, it wouldn't change anything!
Thinking of this, Xiao Fan suddenly felt a little regretful.
Why hadn't he decided on this earlier? Now, he was urging for a cheap retirement. Xiao Chengshan had already stopped attending court. Although His Majesty hadn't approved it yet, it was only a matter of time.
However, although he felt a little regretful, Xiao Fan didn't take it too seriously.
Xiao Chengshan’s matter is not important.
Now he is about to hold his wedding with Princess Kangding. He cannot refuse this matter anyway, so he might as well accept it.
After becoming the son-in-law of the emperor, all he needs to do is rely on the power of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the royal family. Doesn't that mean he is relying on the power of the entire Dayan?
How can Gu Bufan and the White Lotus Sect be compared with the entire Great Yan Kingdom?
Gu Bufan?
Who the hell is Gu Bufan?
The more Xiao Fan thought about this, the more possible it seemed.
As he thought about it, he gradually calmed down. Although this idea had already appeared in his mind, he still had to plan it carefully before proceeding!
Putting aside other things, the Liu family must be dealt with first! Otherwise, they might really be a roadblock!
