White Ape Mansion.

Jiao He sent the purple jade sword embryo to Fang Yu's hand.

The field was silent, the atmosphere was stagnant and awkward.

"White Ape..."

Jiao He turned his head and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Jiao was ordered to send a gift to Miss Fang Yu. Unexpectedly, Bai Yuan Gong's granddaughter also came today's birthday. She came empty-handed, so she hopes not to blame her."

The White Ape looked ugly, but in front of everyone, he only laughed and said, "It's okay, but I didn't expect that Miss Fang Yu was also on her birthday today. It was really rude. Someone came... took my fish and dragon pictures and added a gift to Miss Fang Yu!"

His voice fell, and a few of the officials and various forces present came forward to offer gifts. However, more people came to Bai Yuangong's mansion to prepare a gift, and there were no valuables on them, which was very embarrassing.

Among the people who presented the gift, there was one who was the former master of the Palm of the Yuantian Realm. Now, Chen Shilang, the Minister of Revenue, seems inconspicuous among the crowd.

Jiao He recognized him, but his expression was as usual and took the congratulatory gift.

Fang Yu seemed a little helpless.

After Jiao He thanked one by one, he accused him of guilt and led Fang Yu away.

The White Ape looked complicated, looked at her granddaughter, snorted, and said, "It's extremely stupid, unbearable to make a living!"

After saying that, the White Ape left with her sleeves, leaving only the stagnant and awkward people.

Outside the mansion, Jiao He walked along the street, and Fang Yu was beside him, looking at the sword embryo of the Purple Jade Immortal Sword in his hand, full of thoughts and a little dazed.

"When the head sect heard that Miss Fang Yu had come to the White Ape's mansion, he knew that the matter was not simple, so he asked Jiao to come and adapt to the situation. First, he saw what the scene was in the White Ape's mansion."

"If everything goes well, the purple jade fairy sword will be handed over to Miss Fang Yu himself."

"If there is something wrong, just send the Purple Jade Immortal Sword in front of everyone, so that everyone in the capital will know that not only the Jiuxiao Immortal Sect behind you, but also the Baihong Taoist Temple!"

Jiao He smiled and said, "I just saw you being squeezed by Miss Bai. Jiao thought carefully. This should be the time when the head teacher said to give gifts!"

Fang Yu's voice was slightly lowered and he responded.

Seeing this, Jiao He didn't say much. He walked in front of him and flipped his hand and added a note.

This is the note hidden in the gift sent by Mr. Chen.

Giving gifts is not the purpose, the real idea is to take the opportunity to tell Baoshou Daojun!

He glanced at it and turned the note into ashes.

Immediately, Jiao He led Fang Yu back to the courtyard.

At this time, in the courtyard, Taoist Master Baoshou felt that free labor was quite expensive and couldn't help but feel pain, but at this moment, he turned his head and looked.

This time, a little yellow dog actually crawled into the dog hole under the courtyard wall!

Old Duck Yin was eaten by a dog, and this time he directly refined a puppy as his incarnation.

"What have you found?"

"Report to the Lord Dao." The little yellow dog said something and whispered: "The Ministry of Industry's materials are deficient, and there is a big problem!"

"The materials are deficient?" Taoist Priest Baoshou frowned slightly.

"The Great Xia Dynasty promised to raise ten times of materials for the Taoist Lord within three days!" Yin Xiaogou said, "But Yin investigated everywhere and found that the Ministry of Works was seriously insufficient and almost exhausted... Not to mention the ten times of materials, even if he just wanted to return them in full, he would not be able to get them all."

"Oh?" Taoist Priest Baoshou's eyes were full of surprise. The great Xia Dynasty could not even give out a piece of materials. The internal deficit was so low?

"The Minister of Works is dead, and this must be the real cause of death." Yin Xiaogou said: "The Taoist priest's batch of materials is just a drop in the entire Great Xia Dynasty, but now... the nine ox has no hair."

"In this way, the compromise between the Great Xia Dynasty and I was a delaying strategy?"

Taoist Master Baoshou stood up from the rattan chair, carried his hands on his back, and walked in the yard lightly: "I clearly have no materials, but I told me to give the materials in three days! This means that after three days, the Great Xia Dynasty will no longer be afraid of me. Can I easily suppress me without any damage?"

Yin Xiaogou nodded slightly, but she didn't dare to speak nonsense, just remained silent.

And just then, a sound came from outside the yard.

Taoist Master Baoshou glanced at it, but he stopped talking.

The puppy immediately understood and crawled out of the dog's hole.

Taoist Master Baoshou was stunned for a moment. His meaning was clearly to avoid being eaten by people outside. Should he be cheaper for his own people? Why did Yin Xiao run away just now?

Just as he was thinking, Jiao He and Fang Yu had returned.

"Thank you for the gift of Taoist priest, but this..." Fang Yu hesitated: "It's too expensive."

"It's okay."

Taoist Priest Baoshou smiled and said, "You have worked hard and made great contributions since the construction of Baihong Temple. I see it."

This sword embryo is extremely precious. It uses immortal materials and is expected to become an immortal sword. Even if it is just a sword embryo now, it is comparable to the top-grade magic sword in the world!

Fang Yu hesitated for a moment before he refused and took the sword embryo.

At the same time, Jiao He came forward and whispered: "In the White Ape's Mansion, my subordinates met Mr. Chen. He took the opportunity to send a gift, with a note. The news inside was that, please show your power tonight!"

"oh?"

Taoist Priest Baoshou raised his eyebrows and fell into thinking.

Chen Tu and Chen Hua joined Bai Hongguan.

I believe that many people are staring at Mr. Chen now. The last time he asked for a consultation, and this time he even sent a message to him by giving gifts. What is the point?

"I know."

Taoist Master Baoshou nodded slightly and closed his eyes slightly.

The portrait he gave to Mr. Chen the last time, gave him a hundred thousand strands of merit and incense power, and he could kill the real person in the God Refining Realm with one sword!

Now that the merits and incense vows are exhausted, even if Mr. Chen worships day and night, the incense vows gathered is extremely weak. Unless the Taoist Master Baoshou recites it personally, the portrait is just an ordinary portrait and can only be used to drive away the weak evil spirit.

At the same time, Mr. Chen also returned to his house, looked at the portrait on the wall, lit the incense, bowed three times, and inserted it into the incense burner.

The moonlit night is like water, and the light is dim.

At this moment, the portrait shone.

Then he saw the Taoist in the painting step forward and appear before him.

"Greetings to the Taoist Lord Baoshou." Mr. Chen was immediately overjoyed.

"Get up." Taoist Priest Baoshou smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"It's shameful to say that if the statue of the god was not given to the Lord of Dao, I'm afraid Chen would have become a dry bone in the tomb now." Mr. Chen smiled bitterly.

"Mr. Chen summoned me to come this time, but I don't know..." Taoist Master Baoshou showed a solemn expression.

"My father is the Minister of Revenue." Chen said in a low expression: "Now Chen is also the Minister of Revenue. Originally, my father and son were the Minister of Revenue and the Minister of Revenue. However, he committed suicide before Chen went to Beijing... This matter is very strange."

"Let me talk about it in detail," said Taoist Master Baoshou.

"The Ministry of Revenue has now come a new Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. He was originally a special envoy appointed by His Majesty." Chen Shilang said: "If my father is still there, now my father and son are both in the Ministry of Revenue, but if there is a special envoy, they will both have false positions and have no real power."

"Oh?" Taoist Master Baoshou showed a deep thought.

"My father did not leave a single word." Chen Shilang whispered: "But the Minister of Revenue and the Minister of Works passed away in just ten days! This is extremely strange... Chen did not dare to take a closer look, but someone sent the file."

"File?" Taoist Master Baoshou asked, "Who did it?"

"I don't know yet, but I only sent it after the Daojun entered Beijing." Mr. Chen took out the file and whispered: "The above are the account books of the Ministry of Revenue and the list of the Ministry of Works."

"Hmm?" Taoist Master Baoshou glanced at him and looked at Mr. Chen with a slight question.

"The Ministry of Revenue controls all the money and food affairs of the Great Xia Dynasty, but now... the Ministry of Revenue is empty!" Chen Shilang said: "The Ministry of Works is also in a deficit!"

"The Ministry of Revenue is empty, the Ministry of Works is empty, and both ministers are dead?" Taoist Master Baoshou looked at Mr. Chen and said, "What do you mean?"

"There are one stroke after another on this file, which is the consumption of building various mansions in Zhongzhou." Mr. Chen lowered his voice and said, "Each stroke is several times more expensive!"

"..." Taoist Master Baoshou fell into silence. If it was inflated, it would be normal. After all, these officials would inevitably have to obtain some silver from it and crash into their own pockets. However, if it was inflated several times, it would be extremely outrageous!

"The Daxia royal family is not a blind man!" Chen Shilang said, "Your Majesty's eyes are as sharp as a torch, and his deficit has lasted for decades. After three ministers, there is no reason not to notice the clues! Chen believes that the material that Taoist was divided was more eaten by the royal family than being divided by these officials..."

"So do you think that the current emperor is the one who really forced your father to death?" Taoist Master Baoshou asked.

"Mr. Chen dared not speak nonsense, but there must be something strange about it!" said Mr. Chen.

"You put the file here." Taoist Master Baoshou said this and said, "A puppy will come over later. Just let the puppy take the file away."

"this……"

Mr. Chen was quite surprised, but nodded.

Then the Taoist priest in front of him took a step back, entered the scroll, and turned into a portrait on paper again.

After a moment, a little yellow dog came in from outside the door.

Mr. Chen was stunned for a while and looked at the yellow dog.

The little yellow dog glanced at him, without saying much, jumped onto the altar, took the file away, and ran towards the door.

The puppy ran all the way, avoiding demon-killing officials, inspectors, patrol guards, etc., and came to the "Bearing Fairy Immortal Technique Training Center".

At this time, the bear cub swung the hammer for a day and made a lot of money, but he was also a little tired and hungry. He carried the hammer and looked for food everywhere and prepared to cushion his belly.

Yin Xiaogou saw it from a distance, and was afraid of being knocked out by a bear cub, so he had to take a detour and crawled into the dog hole again.
