Happy Emperor

"Thank you, Master Lin."

Batujin blushed a little. She didn't expect things to turn out like this.

"Thank me?" Lin Tian smiled faintly, "I'm a down-to-earth person and don't like verbal thanks."

"Ah?" Batujin's pretty face turned even redder, and she murmured, "Sir, what kind of thanks do you want?"

"This is what you need to think about. Come back here to find me when you've figured it out."

After Lin Tian finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Lin Tian knew that this was not the modern era, girls were very open-minded, and it would be impossible to win over Batu Jin today.

Besides, Lin Tian wanted to rush back. He wanted to know what the Ji family wanted to do with Tang Bo.

Watching Lin Tian leave, Batujin bit her lip lightly. This was the first time in all these years that a man had treated her like this.

Imperial Palace, South Study.

An Bilie rushed over with a serious look on his face.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

"These empty formalities are unnecessary when no one is around." Lin Tian said in a deep voice: "An Bilie, have you understood everything I told you to interrogate?"

"I've figured it all out, but..."

An Bilie glanced around and found no one, then closed the study door tightly and whispered, "Your Majesty, things may be a little beyond your expectations."

Lin Tian frowned when he saw An Bilie acting like this.

"Your Majesty, Tang Bo has instructed that he is acting as the Governor of Liaoan Province!"

"Governor? Second rank?"

Lin Tian didn't expect that the Batu family really valued this kid. In modern times, the governor is equivalent to the governor.

"What does the Ji family want from him?"

"Back then, Baturin recommended Tang Bo for the position of provincial governor, but was stopped by the Ji family. Now they are trying to use this as bait to win over this person."

Lin Tian became even more confused after hearing this. Even if Tang Bo was the governor of Liaoan Province, there was no need for the Ji family to win him over.

Because the control of Liao'an is in the hands of the governor, he, as the governor, is simply a dog of the Batu family, unless this kid knows some secrets.

"What else did he confess? Is it about the Batu family's secret?!"

"Your Majesty is wise." An Bilie didn't expect that Emperor Li had already guessed it before he even said it.

He became even more convinced that he had not chosen the wrong team.

"That kid said that the Batu family is secretly transporting grain to Ningfeng Province."

"However, he doesn't know what the Batu family is doing. I guess..." An Bilie didn't dare to continue.

"Let's transport the grain to Ningfeng Province!" Lin Tian whispered to himself, and suddenly he thought of something.

He immediately took out the map of Daxia.

Shengjing of Daxia was surrounded by three provinces, namely Liaoan, Jifeng and Ningfeng. Ningfeng was located to the north of Shengjing, while the two provinces controlled by the Batu family were located to the south.

Shengjing is the transportation hub of the three provinces. The terrain of the rest of the country is dangerous, so the three provinces must pass through Shengjing to transport heavy goods.

This was also the main reason why the founding emperor of Daxia established Shengjing as the capital.

"Baturin wants to attack Ningfeng Province!"

Lin Tian's eyes flashed with coldness as he spoke in a cold voice.

"Your Majesty, I think so too. However, to attack Ningfeng Province, we must pass through Shengjing!"

"Not necessarily." Lin Tian pointed at the map and said coldly.

"Transporting food to this place may not be possible, but marching is no problem. As long as each soldier brings half a month's rations and saves some walking time for twenty days, we can bypass Shengjing and reach the important border town of Ningfeng - Solo Town."

"this......"

Looking at the map, cold sweat broke out on An Bilie's forehead.

He really hadn't thought of this. By separating the troops and food, they could bypass the Shengjing guards.

"An Bilie, did Uncle Tang tell Baturin how to transport the grain?"

Lin Tian asked in a cold voice, because no matter what, the transportation of grain must pass through Shengjing.

"He doesn't know either. That kid shouldn't have the right to ask about such secrets."

Lin Tian did not doubt An Bilie's words. Tang Bo was a spineless man, so if he knew, he would definitely tell it.

Besides, if he told the Batu family about the grain transportation, they would not let him go, so there was no need for him to hide the method of transporting grain.

An Bilie paused and said decisively: "But if you want to pass through Shengjing, you must go by trade."

Although Daxia was divided into pieces, commercial activities in various places did not stop.

Of course Lin Tian also thought of this.

But he couldn't understand why, even if it was commercial transportation, the amount of food needed to supply an army of over 100,000 was frighteningly large.

Shengjing should have noticed the transportation of such strategic materials long ago, and it would definitely arouse Lin Tianyang's suspicion.

Once Lin Tianyang finds out, he can send a large army to seize the food. Not only will the Batu family lose the opportunity to fight, but they may even mutini due to lack of food and be eaten up in one fell swoop.

An old fox like Baturin would definitely not take such a risky move.

"How on earth can so much food be transported here without anyone noticing?"

For a moment, Lin Tian couldn't figure out what tricks Baturin, the old bastard, had played.

"An Bilie, investigate the Batu family's businesses in Shengjing, no matter how big or small, and hand them over to me tomorrow morning."

"Announce, An Jie and Lin Hua to come to the palace to see me."

Although Lin Tian didn't think Baturin would directly attack Shengjing, he had to be on guard.

Moreover, this matter cannot be directly told to Lin Tianyang unless it is absolutely necessary.

Because no matter which side takes the initiative and swallows up the other side, he will have a hard time in the future.

"Yes!" An Bilie was about to leave after receiving the order, but turned back and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you want to do with Tang Bo? Should you kill him?"

After hearing this, Lin Tian thought for a moment and said, "No, but I won't let it go either."

"If I'm not mistaken, the Batu family will come looking for you tonight. You should then ask them for a sum of money. The more the better."

"Your Majesty, I..." An Bilie was a little confused, not knowing what Emperor Li meant.

"This money is my reward to you and all the Royal Guards. Go!"

Of course, Lin Tian doesn't mind doing this kind of thing.

Besides, this Tang Bo cannot be killed.

If he was killed, the old man Baturin would definitely guess that he knew about the grain transportation.

If he is not killed, Baturin will still have doubts, but Tang Bo will definitely not admit it. This will dispel his doubts to the greatest extent.

......

Shengjing, Batu Prefecture.

"Asshole, you said Tang Bo was captured by An Bilie?"

Baturin rarely got angry at Batujin.

"Father, he..."

Batujin looked aggrieved, with tears in her beautiful eyes.

She had wanted to suggest to her father that they recruit the talented man they had met today, but she had not expected her father to be so furious because a scumbag was arrested.

"you......"

Baturin slammed his hand on the table, veins popping out on his forehead.

Although he didn't care about Tang Bo, if Emperor Li knew about the grain transportation, the consequences would be disastrous.

After gradually calming down, Baturin suddenly realized a more serious problem.

Why would An Bilie go to the city to arrest people? He is not responsible for the public security issues in Shengjing City.

And the more I listen to the Master Lin my daughter mentioned, the more he looks a bit like Emperor Li.

So he hurriedly asked, "Could it be possible that the Young Master Lin you saw today was the tyrant emperor?"

"Definitely not." Batujin's voice was a little choked, but he still asserted it.

"You've never seen a tyrant, so how can you make such a conclusion?"

After hearing his daughter's answer, Baturin asked.

"This man is so talented and learned that even my daughter feels inferior to him. How could he be that tyrant?"

Speaking of Master Lin, Batujin's cheeks turned slightly red.

After hearing this, Baturin nodded with relief.

At least it's not Emperor Li, so there is still a chance to salvage Tang Bo's situation.

"Jin'er, I was a little anxious today, so..."

Seeing the tears in Batujin's eyes, Baturin realized that he had gone too far today.

"Father knows nothing and only knows how to blame his daughter. If it weren't for Master Lin today, his daughter... his daughter would..."

Having said this, Batujin burst into tears out of grievance.

"Ji family!" Baturin's voice was bone-chilling, and the brush in his hand broke. "Father will avenge you."

He didn't expect that the Ji family not only dared to touch his people, but also wanted to insult his own children.

Seeing that Batujin was still unhappy, Baturin pulled him over and said with a smile.

"By the way, father specially prepared a poetry competition for you? He invited all the talented people in Shengjing. Shouldn't you be satisfied with this?"

"really?"

Batujin heard this and wiped his eyes.

"Really? I will invite some cabinet scholars to be judges." Baturin said lovingly.

"No need, my daughter has better judges." Batujin whispered.

When she thought of Master Lin today, her cheeks instantly turned red.

Seeing his daughter's expression, Baturin laughed loudly and said, "It seems that my daughter has found the person she likes."
