"Master, I heard today that someone is starting an investigation into a corruption case. I heard our master's name, so I hurried back to tell you!"
When Xiao Fan heard the news, he was stunned.
"It's over, it's really over now!"
Xiao Fan's heart trembled.
He originally thought that since he had blocked Gu Bufan's path to promotion in the court, the subsequent plot would change.
But now it seems that the plot has not changed at all, but has become faster!
In the original book, Gu Bufan was dragged into this matter only after he killed himself because his adoptive father became furious and wanted to confront Gu Bufan.
But now, it’s only been a short time and they’ve already started the investigation?
As Xiao Fan thought about this, cold sweat broke out on his face.
But even so, Xiao Fan still pretended to be calm, "I understand, you can leave."
"yes!"
The servant nodded and left.
Xiao Fan slumped in the chair and instinctively raised his hand to pour himself a cup of tea, but found that there was no water.
"MD!" Xiao Fan cursed and couldn't help but stand up.
"No, I can't just sit there and wait for this to happen! This is a major case of corruption and bribery, shocking the entire government!"
Xiao Fan's heart was pounding.
To be honest, most of the time he really admires his cheap father.
You have to know that the amount Xiao Chengshan embezzled was not a small amount, but hundreds of millions of taels of silver!
If he remembered correctly, this amount of silver was enough to match the entire Yan Dynasty's treasury revenue for two years!
If possible, he really wanted to catch his cheap father and ask him how he did it.
Such a huge number is frightening just by hearing it!
But no matter how Xiao Chengshan did it, now is not the time to worry about it.
This matter must be resolved as soon as possible!
"I have to go out!"
Thinking of this, Xiao Fan hurriedly ran to the Ministry of Justice.
The Ministry of Justice was heavily guarded. Two guards in silver armor stood in front of the door, staring at passersby with sharp eyes.
Looking at the two huge stone lions with their fangs and claws bared on the steps, they are very majestic and domineering.
Xiao Fan's carriage had just stopped when the guards at the door suddenly looked gloomy. "Who has the guts to stop the car in front of the Ministry of Justice? Are they looking for death?"
As the guard spoke, he was actually ready to take action.
Seeing this, the driver's face also changed. Just when he was about to open his mouth to refute, he was stopped.
The driver was stunned.
It was Xiao Fan who covered his mouth.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Xiao Fan was angry.
The coachman stared at Xiao Fan in disbelief with his eyes wide open, wondering when his young master had become so easy to talk to?
If this happened normally, wouldn't the young master give these two guards a good beating?
The driver couldn't understand.
Xiao Fan lifted the carriage curtain, looked at the two guards and said politely, "I am Xiao Fan from the Xiao Mansion."
When the guard saw Xiao Fan's face clearly, his expression changed and he knelt down immediately.
"Master Xiao, this subordinate deserves to die!"
As they talked, cold sweat suddenly broke out on their bodies.
Who in the entire capital doesn’t know that Xiao Fan is the son of Xiao Chengshan, the Minister of Justice?
The most important thing is that before in the court, His Majesty personally ordered that Princess Kangding be betrothed to Xiao Fan.
It won’t be long before Xiao Fan becomes the prince consort!
With the support of the royal family and his father in a high position of power, Xiao Fan can walk all over Dayan with his own might!
The two gatekeepers were simply courting death by bumping into Xiao Fan!
"I'm sorry, Master Xiao. I didn't know you were here in person. I deserve to die!"
The two guards spoke at this point, beads of sweat the size of beans falling down.
Xiao Fan doesn't have a good reputation in the capital. He is a well-known playboy and bully!
It was said that the third-rank doctor was beaten up by Xiao Fan's servants just because he did not give way to Xiao Fan, and was seriously injured and did not attend court for a whole month!
Afterwards, the doctor impeached Xiao Fan in the court. Who would have thought that the emperor, for the sake of Xiao Chengshan, would directly dismiss the third-rank doctor and send him into exile!
Even a third-rank official ended up like this, let alone them!
The two were extremely nervous.
Xiao Fan got off the carriage with a smile on his face and helped the two of them up in a very kind manner. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please get up quickly. This is not a big deal."
Xiao Fan said as he walked inside, "I'll just go in and take a look. I'll be out in a moment."
"Mr. Xiao, please do as you please!"
The two guards spoke quickly.
Not to mention that Xiao Fan was just going in to take a look, as long as Xiao Fan didn't cause them trouble, they would be very lucky.
Xiao Fan smiled and nodded, then turned to look at his driver with a dark expression, "What are you still wasting time here? Get out of the way, why are you blocking the door?"
The coachman's eyes widened when he was scolded by Xiao Fan, but he didn't dare to refute Xiao Fan and quickly drove the carriage to the side.
The two guards were stunned when they saw Xiao Fan walking towards the Ministry of Justice in a hurry. They looked at each other and saw the disbelief in each other's eyes.
"Is this really Xiao Fan? Why do I remember that the young master of the Xiao family didn't seem like this?"
"Hasn't someone changed his personality?"
The two of them talked in low voices.
Xiao Fan didn't know what they were talking about, so he went into the Ministry of Justice and looked around.
The Ministry of Justice is not small, and there are officials coming and going everywhere.
Many people quickly made way when they saw Xiao Fan.
Xiao Fan is the biggest troublemaker in Dayan. He has a fickle temper and will hit people if he disagrees with them.
No one wants to be seen by Xiao Fan and get into trouble with him!
Looking at everyone's expressions, Xiao Fan's brows twitched wildly. Of course, he could see that everyone was avoiding him.
Xiao Fan couldn't help but curse in his heart: This original owner is really a disaster! People would hide when they see the original owner!
I heard from my servants before that the Ministry of Justice is going to investigate a corruption case. The people in the Ministry must know about it!
But who is going to investigate this matter?
Xiao Fan thought to himself that he had to get to the bottom of this matter before he could think of a solution carefully!
Thinking of this, Xiao Fan grabbed an official and lowered his voice, "Brother, let me ask you something. Our Ministry of Justice won't have a case recently..."
"No, no, no..." An Ren shook his head frantically. He didn't dare to look at Xiao Fan at all. He shook off his hand and ran away.
Xiao Fan: ...
"Oh my god, what on earth did the original owner do to be so evasive? How can I even ask this?"
Xiao Fan was so angry that he had no idea what to do.
Taking a deep breath, he could only wander around the Ministry of Justice to see if he could find anything.
Whenever Xiao Fan arrived at a place, the officials who saw him would quickly hide away, just like a mouse seeing a cat.
The excuses these people made were varied. Some said their house was on fire and they had to put out the fire, some said their wife was about to give birth, and some said they had duck soup stewed at home and they hurried back to keep an eye on it to prevent it from getting burnt.
Just avoid him!
