(2-in-1) "Lin Jue, the second uncle will tell you the truth. The second uncle has indeed committed a serious matter, which is a serious matter that will kill his head. In the Sansi Yamen... Hey! The second uncle can't do anything. For the sake of the Lin family
The business is also for the second uncle to gain a foothold and not be squeezed out by others. The second uncle had to do some...some...bad things with them. I...I can't help it." Lin Bonian
He murmured with an ashen face.
Lin Jue's heart was extremely heavy, even though he knew before that Yushitai would not wrongly accuse Lin Bonian, otherwise Fang Dunru would not tell him in front of him that Lin Bonian was corrupt, accepted bribes, gave bribes, dereliction of duty, and used the power of public office for personal gain.
The specific crime. But at this moment when Qing Er heard Lin Bonian admitting the crime, the feeling was still extremely uncomfortable.
Lin Bonian did indeed do it, and no one wrongly accused him. It was useless to say anything. However, some things were indeed done for the Lin family, such as paying bribes to get the water transportation escort business, or other things related to the interests of the Lin family.
"Second uncle, you are so confused. That time I advised you to confess earlier and plead guilty yourself, which is ten thousand times better than the current situation. If you agreed to me at that time, Mr. Fang and Mr. Yan also agreed to reduce your guilt.
.But now, that opportunity has been lost." Lin Jue sighed.
Lin Bonian said blankly: "Yes, I would have listened to you. But... but who knew that things would develop to where they are today?"
Lin Jue frowned and said: "If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself. Is this false? How can you be lucky?"
Lin Bonian shouted: "Lin Jue, are you here to save me? Why do you say these words? Let me tell you, with Fang Dunru and Yan Zhengsheng's abilities, how could they find out the evidence so quickly? At least they have to
It will take three to four months or even half a year to find out. I didn't agree to your proposal at the beginning because of this. As long as it takes three to four months or even half a year, we will destroy all the evidence, including both human and material evidence.
Without a trace, what are they using to impeach us? It's just some minor charges at most, so how can they do anything to us?"
Lin Jue sighed in his heart. The head of the family in front of him, who he once admired, was completely like a typical corrupt official. At this moment, he was still saying such things. Not to mention, if it really delays
After three or four months, maybe they can really hide the evidence. The so-called destruction of witnesses and evidence is nothing more than a method of killing people and silencing them and destroying evidence. This is a completely vicious method of corrupt officials. This person turned out to be
His second uncle, the head of the Lin family.
"Second uncle, why are you talking about this at this time? If everything went as you expected, how could you be in Yushitai Prison now? How did Mr. Fang and Master Yan find the evidence so quickly?"
Lin Jue sighed.
"Do you think this is Fang Dunru and Yan Zhengsheng's ability? Do you understand that I was harmed? And this matter...this matter has nothing to do with you, you know?" Lin Bonian suddenly said angrily.
"Is it related to me? Was he harmed?" Lin Jue asked in shock: "What happened?"
"Now that things have happened, I won't hide anything from you. Lin Jue, do you know why I forced you to agree to the marriage that night? No matter how stupid I am, Lin Bonian, I will not force you to do what you want.
I always respect you for things you don’t want to do, don’t you know?”
"Yeah, I'm also very confused. The second uncle's temperament changed drastically that day. He insisted on forcing me to agree to the marriage, and even forced me to drive me out of the Lin family. In my opinion, the second uncle should not treat me like this. Let alone the second uncle.
God actually wrote a marriage certificate without telling me, and made some plans to catch my son-in-law. Later, I thought, was the second uncle under coercion? Was there something unspeakable? I also planned to find an opportunity to have a good talk with the second uncle.
Let’s talk and verify this matter.” Lin Jue frowned.
Lin Bonian nodded slowly and sighed softly: "Lin Jue, you are really shrewd. My second uncle admires you very much. Your guess is absolutely correct. My second uncle was indeed coerced. That person is also yours."
I know him, he is Wu Chunlai."
"Wu Chunlai?" Lin Jue whispered in surprise, seeming to have understood something in his heart.
"It was him. In the middle of the night before that day, he suddenly ran into my house and chatted with me for a long time. Then...then...he told many secrets in our Sansi Yamen. Lin Jue,
I'm afraid you don't know something. Everyone in the court is afraid of Wu Chunlai. Although his official position is not very high, he has the backing of Prime Minister Lu and is so powerful that no one dares to offend him. What's even more powerful is that,
It is said that he did not know what means he used to have spies in all the government offices in the court. It is said that he has a pamphlet, which records all the illegal things done by the officials in the court. Although no one has seen the booklet.
, but I can’t believe it, and no one wants to provoke him. I didn’t believe it at all originally, but this time, I had to believe it. He told what several chief officials of our Sansi Yamen did.
He said it clearly, and he also has conclusive evidence. I know that what he said is true. He is not lying, he has a lot of our evidence." Lin Bonian shook his head and sighed.
Lin Jue was horrified. He knew that Wu Chunlai was powerful, but he didn't know that he had reached this level. There were spies in every government office in the court, and the booklet recorded the words, deeds, and illegal records of all important officials. Doesn't that mean he had control over these things?
Isn't it true that people's behavior controls most of the court? The officialdom is dirty, and almost every official will inevitably have misdeeds. These secrets that people least want to know are all in Wu Chunlai's hands. How terrible is that?
This is probably not what Wu Chunlai dared to do. It must be Lu Zhongtian’s strong support behind him. It’s no wonder that Lu Zhongtian has been in power for so many years and has not been defeated. There must also be the role of these dark methods.
The reason.
"Second uncle, Wu Chunlai came to see you specifically, is it because these secrets are being threatened by you? But what does this have to do with my marriage?" Lin Jue asked with a frown.
"He just wanted me to make a promise, forcing you to agree to marry the Qian family. He said that Vice Minister Qian fell in love with you, so he wanted to call you as his son-in-law. It would also be good for you. I told him
, I may not be able to decide your marriage, so he threatened me that if I didn’t agree, he would report my secret to the court and kill me. When I thought about it, this matter is indeed not harmful to you, and
...and it can also save my life, so I went to find you. Unexpectedly, you refused to live or die, so I said those inappropriate words in a hurry. I was also confused for a while, eager to save myself, but you didn't agree that night,
So I went to see Vice Minister Qian and the others and came up with a way to catch my son-in-law."
Lin Bonian's rambling words were as clear and clear to Lin Jue's ears as if the clouds were clearing and the sun was shining brightly. Wu Chunlai had eaten up and left at his place that day, and he felt that he would not give up. As a result, he was
Came up with this idea.
"So that's it, haha, it's really interesting. Second uncle, didn't you have any doubts at that time? Do you really think that was a good thing for me and the Lin family? If it was really a good thing, why did he use such coercive means?
To force you?" Lin Jue asked with a sneer.
"The second uncle is confused. If the second uncle had known about the matter between you and the royal princess, there is no way that the second uncle would have forced you." Lin Bonian smacked his lips.
"This has nothing to do with the princess, I'm talking about the matter itself. Does the second uncle know that Wu Chunlai is not doing this for my own good? The daughter of the Qian family is an ugly dominatrix with a bad temper. Wu Chunlai wants to
Ask me to bear with you and torture me for the rest of my life, do you understand?" Lin Jue whispered.
"Ah? This...I really don't know this. Vice Prime Minister Qian's daughter is a dominatrix?" Lin Bonian said in surprise.
Lin Jue smiled bitterly and said: "Hey! Let's not mention it. In fact, it has nothing to do with this woman. This is just Wu Chunlai's trick. There is some grudge between Wu Chunlai and me. He used your hand to harm me. Can you
Understood?"
"What grudges do you have with him?" Lin Bonian was even more surprised.
"Let's not talk about this now. It's a long story and time is tight. Let's talk about the current situation. You said that your current situation is related to me. Is it Wu Chunlai's fault?" Lin Jue asked.
"Yes, that's right. After the marriage fell through, Wu Chunlai stopped talking to me. I spent the past few days in fear, thinking that Wu Chunlai wouldn't be so ruthless. But after dark yesterday, he ordered someone to bring me a message
, saying that I failed to fulfill my promise to him, so he no longer kept secrets for me. As soon as his people left, the people from the Yushitai on the back arrived and took me here. I knew that I had been given to this thief.
Damn it. He still handed over the evidence he had to Fang Dunru and the others. Naturally, they could take me immediately."
When Lin Bonian said this, Lin Jue's heart became clear. In the final analysis, all this was for him. It can be imagined that Wu Chunlai, a thief, has a strong desire for revenge. Since the arrest of his son-in-law under the list fell through,
After that, he tampered with his appointment and arranged for himself a small official position that no one cared about. He thought he would stop there, but he took action again and spread the news about Lin Bonian.
Although it seems that Lin Bonian's affairs have nothing to do with him. But this is the method he uses best, which is killing people with blunt knives and torturing his opponents alive without leaving any clues. Lin Bonian is the head of the Lin family, and his affairs will come out
If it happened, not only would he himself be ruined, but the entire Lin family would also be implicated. Although it may not be a disaster of confiscating the family and exterminating the family, the decline of the Lin family is inevitable. As a member of the Lin family, he essentially relies on the Lin family as a backer.
When Lin Bonian fell and the Lin family was defeated, he would not be spared. To put it simply, everyone in the court would take the initiative to draw a clear line with the Lin family, and no one would have close contact with him anymore. Even Fang Dunru was serious.
, and even his father-in-law, Prince Liang, could no longer support him. The court must also have opinions about people who came from a criminal family. I was afraid that I would have to hide in the small courtyard of that public house for the rest of my life.
This incident will affect my career and life for the rest of my life. This is not an exaggeration.
Lin Jue's heart boiled with anger. Originally, he kept a respectful distance from Wu Chunlai and hid whenever he could. On the day when Wu Chunlai forced him to express his stance, he verbally rejected his approach. Lin Jue didn't think about it later.
She completely fell out with him. After all, in this place in the capital, Lin Jue still believed that caution should be the priority. Besides, people like Wu Chunlai were not easy to mess with.
When Lin Bonian was arrested, he decided to go all out to rescue him. However, Lin Jue could not guarantee that he would succeed. After all, the matter was too difficult. Although Lin Jue vowed to protect the safety of the Lin family, Lin Bonian
Lin Jue was also very dissatisfied with his actions. He also thought that if Lin Bonian really couldn't be saved, it would be his own fault, and Lin Jue would not feel any psychological guilt.
However, at this moment, after listening to the whole incident, Lin Jue made up his mind to rescue Lin Bonian this time at all costs. This is not only the matter of rescuing Lin Bonian, this will also be the face of the matter.
A powerful counterattack against Wu Chunlai's conspiracy. Maybe I can't face Wu Chunlai to fight directly, or retaliate. But taking this matter as an opportunity to prevent Wu Chunlai's conspiracy from succeeding, that will be what I make clear to Wu Chunlai.
An attitude, a declaration of war.
"Second uncle, I understand everything. Don't worry, I will do my best to rescue you. Just relax, the evidence and interrogation will take a long time. During this time, I will actively run to rescue you. I must save you."
You rescue me." Lin Jue said firmly in a deep voice.
Lin Bonian shook his head with a sad face and said: "Lin Jue, please don't comfort me, I know things may not be that easy. Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru are people who don't recognize their emotions, so they will definitely not be willing to help.
I don't know if there is any way for the prince. I'm afraid I'm dead this time. Those things... are all capital crimes. I actually know in my heart that I'm afraid you won't be able to save me. I'm afraid the entire Lin family will also be implicated.
I am a sinner of the Lin family, I feel sorry for everyone in the Lin family, I feel sorry for all my ancestors..."
Lin Jue comforted him in a low voice: "Second uncle, please don't do this. I will try my best to rescue you. But you must cooperate with my actions."
"Okay, I will definitely cooperate with you, how?" Lin Bonian looked at Lin Jue pitifully and said.
Lin Jue thought for a while and said: "First of all, before the interrogation, no matter who comes to see you, don't talk nonsense. You only do one thing, grit your teeth and refuse to plead guilty."
"Ah? Not guilty? That doesn't... doesn't that make the crime worse?" Lin Bonian said in shock.
"What I'm saying is that before the interrogation, no matter who comes to visit you, don't say anything nonsense. Every word you say may be caught. Without my permission, you will grit your teeth."
Lin Jue whispered.
"Okay, okay, I understand, I understand. I am not the only one involved in this case. You mean to prevent someone from putting all the charges on me and using me as a scapegoat. Then I will be unable to escape, right?" Lin Bo?
Nian Dao.
Lin Jue nodded, Lin Bonian is not too stupid. This case involves not only Lin Bonian, but the entire Sansi Yamen, four chief and deputy envoys, including some middle-level officials. This case must not be ignored.
If all the sins were placed on Lin Bonian, it would be a dead end.
"Second, in the past few days, you should reminisce carefully. Write down all the illegal things you have done before, or your crimes, no matter how big or small. What happened, who took the lead, and who was involved. What did you say at that time? How did you cover it up afterwards? Write it all down. Remember, these things must be hidden and don't be searched. Next time I come to visit, you can leave them all to me."
"...Why are you writing this? Isn't this a confession? This..." Lin Bonian said in shock.
"Listen, uncle, you have to make it clear that I want to save your life, not get rid of your sins. You are already guilty, and no one has the ability to let you off the hook. Do you understand? I have my own use for these things. You Just do as I say." Lin Jue interrupted in a deep voice.
"Okay, I'll do as you say." Lin Bonian had no choice but to agree.
"Third, you must immediately step down as the head of the Lin family. Firstly, you are no longer suitable to be the head of the Lin family. Secondly, because in order to save you, many things need to be discussed and decided by the family. You are the head of the family, and you are not present. , many things will be very troublesome, and no one can make decisions. I will quickly send someone to Hangzhou tonight and ask my uncle to come to the capital to take charge." Lin Jue said solemnly.
Lin Bonian looked at Lin Jue in shock, his expression extremely dejected. He actually knew in his heart that he could no longer be the head of the family. He had committed a serious crime and had to implicate the Lin family. There was absolutely no way he could continue to be the head of the family. .It’s just that he didn’t expect Lin Jue to be so direct and now he wants him to resign.
"Second uncle, do you understand what I mean? To save you this time, the Lin family will have to work together. I don't know what will happen. But no matter what, we will do our best to save you. But you can't be disrespectful to the Lin family. You have an explanation. You can't make decisions on many things just because you are not present, which will delay things." Lin Jue frowned and shouted in a low voice.
Uncle Lin sighed, gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand, took off the purple gold ring from his finger, and handed it to Lin Jue tremblingly. The ring shone in the dim light, beautiful. Lin Jue He stretched out his hand to take it and put it into his arms with great care.
"Second uncle, the environment here is not good, but you can only endure it for now. It's not as good as at home. Some people eat when they can, and some sleep when they sleep. Don't worry too much, and take care of yourself. I will also ask my husband, and finally I hope someone can send some food, clothes, and other things in. In short, you have to take care of yourself so that you can find a way out. Don't let your imagination run wild." Lin Jue said in a low voice.
"Hey, I, I understand." Lin Bonian felt sad and burst into tears again.
Lin Jue sighed and comforted him in a low voice, wiping his tears. He felt sad in his heart. In any case, he was also his second uncle. This blood connection finally made sense. Watching him transform from a handsome and handsome person. Lin Jue naturally felt sad as he turned into the tearful and decadent look in front of him.
There was the sound of footsteps outside and the sound of the door lock being opened. The cell door was pushed open a crack. Jailer Zheng Xi poked his head in and shouted in a low voice: "Mr. Lin, it's almost time. The time for burning incense has passed. It's time to go." .The people outside are not a thing. After a while, they will really not open the door and lock people in."
Lin Jue heard this and said hurriedly: "Okay, let's go now."
"Hurry up!" Zheng Xi shrank back.
Lin Jue stood up, bowed to Lin Bonian and said, "Second uncle, my nephew will go first. Remember my nephew's words."
Lin Bonian looked up at his tearful face and said pitifully: "Ah? Are we leaving now? What...what should I do?"
Lin Jue sighed, took off his black silk cloak and put it on Lin Bonian, and whispered: "Second uncle, don't worry, remember what I said, my nephew will do his best to save you. You can wear this clothes at night,
Don’t get cold.”
Tears rolled down Lin Bonian's eyes, and he grabbed Lin Jue's hand and said, "You must save the second uncle as soon as possible. The second uncle won't be able to bear it."
Lin Jue agreed in a low voice, and Lin Bonian babbled some more. It wasn't until Zheng Xi came in impatiently to talk again that Lin Bonian had no choice but to let go and watched Lin Jue leave helplessly. He sat down on the bed slumped.
