This time the cracking of the Danyu City corruption case is definitely not the credit of a single person.

Solandelle, who found clues from clues, Chino, who set a trap and successfully lured the snake out of the hole, and Lorna, who has superb acting skills and makes people dizzy... All three have their own merits.

In addition, there is another little person who has contributed a lot, that is, the former grain official of Danyu City, Ma Ban.

Ma Ban didn't seem to play a role in the Danyu City incident, neither did he stop the plot to burn the granary in advance, but he also failed to extinguish the granary fire when he opened the floodgates.

However, in the process of emergency rescue, he witnessed the abnormal condition of the granary fire, and later had the good fortune to meet Solandelle, who was secretly visiting in private clothes, and told her about those strange conditions.

If it weren't for Maban's telling of the granary's abnormality, Solandale wouldn't have realized that the source of the fire was a desert fire, and he wouldn't have thought of sneaking into the granary to find clues, and finally learned the truth about Gomer and the others' "wood for grain".

It can even be said that the three of Chino can only be regarded as waiting for work, and Ma Ban is the engine to investigate the truth, if it weren't for him sticking there, many chain reactions would not have happened.

Everyone will think that the burning of the granary is really an accidental fire, and all the fingers will be pointed at Kerry, who has been pushed out as a substitute for the dead.

Gomai, Lin Gengsen, and Du Mingwei can also get rid of responsibility to a large extent, even if they are questioned, they are just not painful.

Solandale was so impressed by Mabana that he did not forget him when he returned to the royal city, and told Perseus the truth about this man's assistance.

As soon as Perseus heard his daughter's praise, he decided to summon Maban into the palace to meet him and reward him in person.

After a few days of traveling, Madara had already arrived at the royal city in a carriage, and entered the palace smoothly after being inspected at the entrance of the giant wall.

Ma Ban was born in a country house, life has always been simple and simple, all the luxurious things in the palace are very strange to him, and there are the habits of country people, looking at those magnificent buildings left and right, touch here, touch there, see the imperial guards are very eye-catching, I don't know how this kind of person can become a distinguished guest of His Majesty the King.

Not to mention, the person personally recommended by his daughter, Perseus gave enough cards, he sat on the king's throne, and there was a special position for Solandelle next to him, the "king's left hand" Sting, and the "king's right hand" Lan Xian were also all present, and the royal guards were on both sides of the red carpet, and the twilight from the skylight of the dome fell on their armor, reflecting the magnificent spirit.

The Imperial Guard, who was in charge of leading the way, sent Madara here, and then retreated and left.

Mamada had never experienced such an occasion, looking left and right, but he didn't know how to come forward to meet His Majesty the King, and stood there without speaking.

It was the first time Perseus had seen such an "ignorant" person, so he simply took the initiative to speak: "Ma Ban, when the other officials saw me, they all had a thousand words, and they wished to say all the things in their hearts, why didn't you say a word?" ”

Mamada said silently, "I don't know what to say." ”

Persius smiled briefly: "How I feel about the palace, how I have been doing in the past few days, people who are pleasing to the eye or not, things that I have always wanted to report to the top but have no chance... Say whatever you want. ”

He glanced at Perseus and said straightly, "Then I'll be blunt, I'm hungry, please give me a meal." ”

The surrounding ministers held back a smile one by one and couldn't help but shake their heads.

As the first person to promote Ma Ban, Lan Xian also felt that his face was dull, and scolded: "Ma Ban, do you understand etiquette? Begging for food in front of His Majesty? ”

Ma Ban's temper was quite stubborn, and he said directly: "Your Majesty can say whatever I want, I'm really hungry, can't I say this?" ”

When the ministers heard this, they couldn't hold back their laughter, and Lan Xian also kept shaking his head.

"Laughing at what?" At this moment, Perseus suddenly spoke, he glanced at the ministers around him, and asked very puzzledly, "Is what Mabana said funny?" It's funny that I can't take care of eating all the way, and now I'm hungry and want to eat? ”

"From the king to the slaves, whether they are human or animal, as long as they are alive, they must eat. I wonder, among you who laugh, who is possessed by a god and can skip food all the time? ”

The ministers who were snickering just now hurriedly closed their mouths and didn't dare to speak.

Perseus retracted his gaze and said lightly, "Let the chef cook him something to eat." ”

The kitchen was very efficient, and several chefs divided the work, and made nine dishes in ten minutes, put them on the wooden table, and let the servants carry them to Ma Ban together with the table.

Since it is the order of His Majesty the King, the chefs naturally use the best ingredients, whether it is the spicy fire cow's hooves carved into the shape of a lotus flower with exquisite knife skills, or the rock ear soup stewed from pearl lotus seeds, they are all delicacies that ordinary people can hardly imagine, not to mention that His Majesty the King asked the royal chef to make them, and other officials would have already eaten with tears in their eyes.

However, when Ma Ban looked at these superb imperial meals, his face was very unsightly, and he didn't even touch the knife and fork, and said in a deep voice: "Just give me two pieces of bread and water, I can't get used to eating these." ”

The atmosphere stiffened, and a hint of coldness appeared on Pertheus's face: "What? Finally met the king once, and seized this opportunity to establish an image of poverty for himself? ”

"Huh." As if he had heard some joke, he pointed to the delicacies in front of him and said in an almost questioning tone, "I would like to ask His Majesty the King to answer a question, how much does this table cost?" ”

Not to mention, this really stopped Percius, he usually has every opportunity, and his meals are served by the royal chef, and he can report the name of the dishes if he wants to eat, regardless of the price of these dishes.

Fortunately, the chef was more clever, and when he saw that His Majesty was silent, he took the initiative to pick up Ma Ban's words: "These dishes are all customized according to the dietary standards of the royal family, and they are all the best ingredients for the royal family from all over the world, adding up to about 80 silver moons." ”

After hearing this, the muscles on his face twitched obviously, and he gritted his teeth and said: "80 silver moons, converted into iron moons, are 80,000, and you can buy 20,000 catties, that is, 10 tons of wheat, which can be eaten by a civilian for a full 50 years!" And that's just a daily meal for the royal family! ”

"Has His Majesty ever thought that if you were less greedy for such a feast, you would be able to make a commoner not feel full from birth to old age and death! If all the officials in Dogurand can be like this, how can so many people in Danyu City starve to death?! ”

Perseus's face was gloomy, and he said coldly, "Are you blaming me for the incident in Danyu City?" ”

Ma Ban did not shy away from looking at Percius, his eyes seemed to be burning: "The famine in Danyu City originated from the greed of officials for ink and their disregard for the legal code. If the kingdom of Dogurand is compared to a family, the officials are the juniors, and the king is the head of the family. ”

"Now the juniors in the family are greedy for ink, and the family style is not right, but the parents have not been able to clean up the door for a long time. If none of this is the king's fault, whose fault could it be? ”
