Returning to the place where he stayed, Yunxi waved his hand to the guards to go out, but signaled Qin Song to stay.
Qin Song knew that he wanted to discuss with him, so he said: "Your Highness has already decided that Lin Jun, the prefect of Yanzhou, is the worm of Yanzhou Prefecture?"
Yunxi asked: "Isn't it?"
Qin Song said: "Your Highness concluded that it was Lin Jun, the prefect of Yanzhou, just based on his leaving the city. Isn't it too arbitrary?"
Yunxi said: "You just think too much. Now it seems that Lin Jun is the most likely; besides, even if he is wronged for the time being, as long as he insists on putting the evidence first and not punishing him, if he is wronged, he can still be innocent."
.”
Qin Song said: "Your Highness is going to order Lin Jun to be taken down?"
Yunxi said: "How can it be used as evidence to arrest him when Mending sees his family escorting things out of the city? But we can arrange for people to keep an eye on him to see if he will reveal his flaws."
Saying that, Yunxi smiled and said: "You can still deceive him. On the way from Ziyang County Government Office to Yanzhou Government Office, you pass by a place where people have died. Maybe you can deceive him without any investigation.
Already."
Qin Song looked at Yun Xi with confusion, but Yun Xi stopped talking.
The next night, when it was dark, Lin Jun came out of the Yamen in Ziyang County.
Lin Li, his clan brother and personal attendant who was waiting at the yamen gate, saw him coming out. He rushed to greet him, helped Lin Jun carry his things, and followed him back to the yamen.
On the way, Lin Li complained: "Why did you come out so late today?"
Lin Jun said: "Stop complaining, it won't be good if His Highness's people hear it. In the past two days, there have been a lot of thieves in the city for some reason. His Highness asked his guards to patrol the whole city at night, so be careful in everything."
Today, His Highness talked to me all afternoon about the aftermath of Yanzhou Mansion. His Highness asked me to go back first because it was getting late. I have to come back early tomorrow morning."
Lin Li added: "Why is it in the Ziyang County Yamen? Isn't His Highness placed in the Luwang Sanwei Yamen?"
Lin Jun said: "Isn't Qitai, the concubine of the East Palace, temporarily acting as magistrate of Ziyang County? His Highness probably talked to him, and then remembered that Yanzhou Prefecture was coming, so he called me there; His Highness would have to go back to Lu after a while.
Wang Sanwei is sleeping in peace at the Yamen."
Lin Li suddenly remembered something again and said: "When I was waiting in the concierge just now, I heard that He Laoer, who helped the generals of King Lu's three guards to commit evil, was killed by the ghost he transformed into after the death of the person he killed. His Highness also
I went to Master Xuanjing of Xinglong Temple to perform rituals."
Lin Jun said: "It is true that the dead are dead, and it is true that His Highness found someone to do the deed. It is just for peace of mind, not because someone is being killed by a ghost."
However, Lin Li believed in the theory of ghosts and gods. Although he didn't mention it after listening to Lin Jun's words, he kept it in his heart.
Not long after walking, the two of them passed by the place where people had died.
Lin Jun saw that there was no sound here and asked, "Where is this place? How could it be like this?"
Lin Li looked at it and said, "This is the place where they robbed the houses from the people a while ago, so now you can't even see anyone here. I heard that people were beaten to death here back then."
Lin Jun believed in Confucius's teaching of "respect ghosts and gods and keep away from them." He didn't really believe in ghosts and gods, but he was a little scared after hearing Lin Li's words and said, "Why did you go this way?"
Lin Li himself was a little scared, and said in a trembling voice: "I forgot about this, because this road is the closest to the Yanzhou government office, so I took it from here."
Lin Jun said: "Then let's go quickly."
As Lin Jun was talking, a voice suddenly came from the house. The voice was very soft, but in this quiet time, the two of them could hear it clearly: "Give me back my life!" Then it seemed like someone was moving vaguely.
.
Lin Jun and Lin Li had something going on in their minds, and they suddenly felt hairy all over. Lin Jun was better off as a court official, but Lin Li was so frightened that he wanted to run away.
Lin Jun immediately shouted: "Who is pretending to be a ghost?"
Hearing Lin Jun's words, the ghosts seemed to be afraid, and there was no sound or movement.
Lin Jun wanted to step forward to check, but Lin Li held him tightly and said: "Brother, you are an official of the imperial court, so ghosts will not dare to approach you, but I am not! Let's go." Lin Jun couldn't stand him, so he could only stay with him.
gone back.
When the Yanzhou government office entered the backyard, Lin Li went back to his room and lay down on the bed. He kept thinking about what happened when he came back at night, and didn't fall asleep until late at night.
I don't know how much time passed, but Lin Li felt his face getting cold. He opened his eyes and wanted to move his arms, but found that his hands were tied. When he looked up, he found a table in front of him and a man sitting behind the table.
'Man', this 'man' is actually wearing the clothes of the legendary judge of the underworld!
Frightened, Lin Li looked around and found that the people on the left and right were also ghosts!
At this time, the judge was stunned and shouted: "Lin Li, you are acting as an accomplice and helping Lin Jun, the prefect of Yanzhou, to receive ill-gotten gains. Now that the officers of the three guards of King Lu have fallen into submission, the innocent souls have come to seek your life."
At this time, he had lost his courage and was so horrified that he immediately knelt down and kowtowed and said: "I'm just a small person, a helper, it's none of my business, it's none of my business, it's all what Lin Jun asked me to do, it's all
Lin Jun asked me to do it."
The judge was stunned again and shouted: "Why don't you take action for what you have done?"
Lin Li said: "I'll do it all, I'll do it all." Then he poured out everything he had done for Lin Jun in Yanzhou like a bamboo tube.
While he was talking, the ghost clerk recorded it, and from time to time the judge would ask some trivial things. When he finished speaking, the ghost clerk took the recorded confession, untied the rope that tied his hands, and asked him to sign.
Lin Li immediately signed and stamped his signature. Then he suddenly fainted.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Li woke up again, then looked around, and found that he was back in his bed again!
He immediately sat up, looked around carefully, and found that he was indeed in his own room.
He couldn't figure it out, and finally thought that he had fallen asleep and had a dream. He laughed at himself and said: "It seems that I was thinking about these things during the day and only had such a dream at night; after two days, I had a dream."
If you have free time, go to the temple to burn incense."
Lin Li left the room and prepared to serve Lin Jun. But Old Man Yang, who was guarding the back door of the government office last night, said to him: "Second Master Li, last night I vaguely saw you leaving the government office. What were you doing?"
Lin Li didn't care and said, "Old man Yang, are you confused? I was sleeping in my room peacefully, who went out!"
Old Yang was indeed very sleepy last night, so he was not sure that someone had gone out last night. After hearing Lin Li's denial, and no one reported missing items that day, that was all.
A few days later, on the tenth day of August, Lin Jun was settling matters in the government office. Suddenly, a government official announced: "Your Majesty, the Emperor's Grandson is here."
Lin Jun hurriedly stood up to greet him. After he was seated respectfully, Lin Jun asked: "What do you want your highness to do when you come to my Yanzhou government office today?"
Yunxi chuckled lightly and said, "I have a confession here. Prefect Lin might as well take a look at it first." After saying that, he handed a piece of paper filled with words to Lin Jun.
