"Master Yan, I fully understand your thoughts and actions. I know that you want to make some changes in the government to help me, Dazhou, get out of today's predicament. Before that, you need to establish your authority and take action against the Sansi Yamen. You
It's not against my second uncle. The crimes committed by my second uncle are all his own fault. So, I understand you very well." Lin Jue said seriously.
Yan Zhengsu sneered: "Since you know our difficulties, what do you mean by what I just said? Aren't you just slapping yourself?"
Lin Jue shook his head and said: "This is not a contradiction. I mean, what you did is right, but there may be a better way to achieve your goal. For example, even if my second uncle is convicted and executed, or exiled thousands of miles away, then
It is not enough for you to achieve the purpose of establishing your authority. As far as I know, so far, the third envoy Zhang Jun has not been brought to the case. Yushitai has not been able to get the permission of the Holy One to imprison him. You have only arrested three
Just a deputy envoy."
"You...how do you know this?" Yan Zhengshen asked in surprise.
Lin Jue did not answer, and Yan Zhengshen suddenly laughed and said: "That's right, I forgot that you have a father-in-law in Taishan who is a prince. Why can't you find out what happened? Haha, you are right, there is indeed someone for Zhang Jun.
It is true that the emperor did not agree to take down Zhang Jun, but so what? Sooner or later he will come to the case. He colluded with Lin Bonian to hand over the water transportation to your Lin family to manage, and once the crime of collecting bribes and dividing the water transportation money is found out, he
Then there is no way to escape the relationship. No one can try to keep him by then, not even Yang Jun. The emperor will not protect him anymore. We will see."
Yan Zhengsheng was so excited that he actually revealed a secret, revealing the fact that it was Privy Councilor Yang Jun who was protecting Zhang Jun.
Lin Jue shook his head and sighed: "My lord, it seems that the evidence against him is very limited, so we can only use the charge of water transport to get him off the hook. Unfortunately, even this charge may not be successful."
"How do you say this?" Yan Zhengshen asked with a frown.
Lin Jue asked softly: "I would like to ask your Excellency, if my second uncle is found guilty of all charges, what kind of punishment should he receive?"
Yan Zhengsu was stunned for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "I'm afraid I'm unlucky."
Lin Jue nodded and said: "As I thought, there is a dead end. If my second uncle confesses the transaction between him and the Privy Councilor Zhang Jun, how will the imperial court deal with my Lin family?"
Yan Zhengsu frowned and said, "I'm afraid that the money your Lin family has earned from running water transportation for more than ten years will be confiscated."
Lin Jue sighed: "That's it. Then let me ask Mr. Yan, since my second uncle knew that he was destined to die, how could he be willing to confess this matter to implicate the Lin family. To be honest, sir, my Lin family has relied on me for so many years.
I made my fortune through water transport. After ten years of water transport money was confiscated, my Lin family was ruined. Would my second uncle do this?"
"...What...do you mean?" Yan Zhengzhen frowned and shouted.
Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "What I mean is that my second uncle will die without being summoned. Anyway, he is dead, so why involve the Lin family? If he is not summoned, you will not be able to convict Zhang Jun or put him in jail. In the end, it will just be some dereliction of duty."
It's just a small crime, it doesn't hurt him at all. Your vigorous actions only brought down a few minions in the end. This does not establish your power, but exposes your weakness. I'm afraid this is not the case for Mr. Yan and Mr.
Whatever you want."
Yan Zhengsheng stared at Lin Jue with wide eyes. Lin Jue was absolutely right. There was indeed a shortage of evidence against Zhang Jun. The three deputy envoys had done a lot of things and there was evidence to back it up, but they knew it.
It's related to Zhang Jun, but Zhang Jun just didn't leave the slightest clue. After searching, there is no evidence of Zhang Jun's direct involvement. The only evidence that can be traced now is the water transport business with the Lin family. It is said that there is a share agreement.
.As long as Lin Bonian confesses the matter and comes up with a share-sharing agreement, Zhang Jun will be in trouble. As long as Zhang Jun is not defeated, the case of the Sansi Yamen will not have a satisfactory outcome. If the Sansi Yamen is not eradicated, how can it be done?
Can it pave the way for the next reform? Not to mention establishing authority in the court, it can only be ridiculed and ridiculed.
So when Lin Jue said this, did he mean... Lin Bonian would never confess?
"Master Yan, I don't want to make you angry, but I still want to make it clear. My second uncle will not confess, and he will definitely not confess. I put my words here. If you don't believe me, try it. Don't say it's my second uncle who is like this.
A person, just a business man on the street, a person who kills pigs and dogs, knowing that he will die, how can he be willing to involve his family? This is human nature. What's more, I have already met my second uncle.
I analyzed these situations with him. If I don't say anything, my second uncle won't say a word. If you don't believe me, try it." Lin Jue said quietly.
Yan Zhengsheng suddenly woke up. No wonder he talked about the preliminary interrogation of Lin Bonian when he met with Fang Dunru yesterday. Fang Dunru said that Lin Bonian's mouth was locked and he didn't say a word. He only said a few words during the interrogation for half an hour.
In a sentence: If you find out and give me the evidence, I will confess. Don’t ask anything else. My attitude is extremely tough. Now it seems that this may have something to do with Lin Jue’s meeting with Lin Bonian.
"Lin Jue, you are so bold. Do you dare to interfere in this case? Do you know how bad your behavior is? I can take you and punish you severely based on this." Yan Zheng shouted.
Lin Jue spread his hands and said: "Master Yan, you can put me in jail, and even chop me down too, if you think it is necessary, I don't care. I don't want to make you angry, but if you want to kill my Lin family, I can't."
No action. I have already stated my bottom line before, Mr. Yan, you have really stepped on my bottom line this time. I want to save my second uncle, so I have to do something."
"Asshole! Asshole. Brother Dunru, if you don't come out yet, this is your good disciple, and he is actually going against us. We all misjudged him." Yan Zhengshen stretched out his hand and patted the table, causing the cups and plates to rattle.
.
Lin Jue was stunned for a moment when he heard someone coughing at the door, and the box door was pushed open with a clang. There was a person standing at the door with an ashen complexion and an angry face. Was it Fang Dunru or who it was?
Lin Jue was startled and understood in an instant. When Yan Zhengsun came just now, he saw three or four people going together. He had asked before, but Yan Zhengsun said they were accompanying servants. But in fact, Fang Dun
Ru came with him, but he didn't come in. He seemed to be listening to the conversation between himself and Yan Zhengsheng outside the door. Lin Jue couldn't help but feel dissatisfied with Yan Zhengsheng. He invited him instead of Fang Dunru. He
But he brought Fang Dunru here and let him eavesdrop outside. This move was really disrespectful and disrespectful.
"Sir! Why are you here?" Lin Jue hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.
"Humph, why can't I come? If I don't come, how can I know your true nature? If I hadn't heard it with my own ears, I couldn't believe that my students would say those words just now. I'm ashamed, I'm extremely ashamed, I'm ashamed of myself as a human being
Lin Jue hurriedly said: "Sir, you said this, teaching students how to deal with themselves? Students just..."
"Forget it, don't call me sir. I'm not good at educating people. I don't have a good student like you. I heard what you just said. From today on, I don't have you as a student. You
I have nothing to do with him from now on." Fang Dunru said, brushing his sleeves.
"What?" Lin felt a little dizzy and his vision was a little dark. He never expected that Fang Dunru would actually say such words. He was so shocked that his eyes widened and he was at a loss.
Yan Zhengshen obviously didn't realize that things had suddenly reached this point. He stood up and said: "Brother Dunru, why do you say such things? Lin Jue's words and deeds are wrong. The lesson is, why should he be expelled from the school? This is not the case. It's a trivial matter. If you do this, how will Lin Jue be able to gain a foothold in the future? Besides, he is just confused about the current affairs, so how can he say such a thing?"
Fang Dunru said angrily: "Brother Zhengsu, didn't you hear it before? This traitor actually threatened us, how could he be so lenient? Weren't you so angry just now that you slapped the table?"
Yan Zhengsun stepped forward and pulled Fang Dunru and said: "I wanted you to reprimand me, but I didn't mean to break off the relationship between your master and apprentice. Don't be impulsive. Come, sit down and drink some tea to calm down. If I had known this, I shouldn't have agreed to come with you. Lin Jue just invited me to the banquet, but he didn't invite you. If you insist on coming, I can't refuse. If master and disciple turn against each other, isn't it my fault? Then call me How can I get along with you in the future? Lin Jue, why are you still standing there? Why don't you make tea for your husband?"
Lin Jue hurriedly responded when he heard the words, and took a tea cup to make tea for Yan Zhengshu. His hands were shaking when making tea, and the water almost spilled out. Lin Jue couldn't help but panic. In his mind, Fang Dunru He and his master's wife are like his own parents. The most comforting thing in his previous life was the love of their husband and wife. So after being reborn in this life, Lin Jue first went to find Fang Dunru to renew their relationship, and thought about having a good life in this life. Honoring the two of you is the most sincere emotion that is indispensable in Lin Jue's heart. If he is expelled from the school by Fang Dunru, it will be his own failure and will be extremely painful. Therefore, Lin Jue's heartbeat is fierce , I have never felt so panicked.
Fang Dunru and Yan Zhengsheng also saw Lin Jue's emotions. After Fang Dunru vented his words with a few cruel words, he calmed down. As a student, he had never embarrassed him. Not only did he respect him, but he also made mistakes. He saved his beloved daughter's life. He became famous all over the world and won the first prize in the imperial examination, which brought him countless proud capital. But in fact, he had not done anything for him, just some limited teachings. He How could you say such heartless words so easily.
"Hey!" Fang Dunru sighed and glanced at Lin Jue, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. He was really thirsty just now when he was standing outside the door listening to Lin Jue and Yan Zhengsheng talking.
Lin Jue felt at ease and stood there without daring to speak. Fang Dunru took a few sips of tea, put down the tea cup and looked at Lin Jue and said: "Lin Jue, do you know you are wrong? How disrespectful were your previous remarks? The law of the country upholds the principles of your country. Don't you even take it lightly? Just because of your Lin family's affairs, you can defy the national law? Where have you read your books? Shouldn't the crimes of your second uncle Lin Bonian be punished? If the national law should be punished, shouldn't it be punished? Shouldn't he die? You are just dissatisfied with us, think we are heartless and unjust, and are unwilling to excuse Lin Bonian for your sake. The last time you interceded for Lin Bonian, I made it clear to you. I only have national laws in my eyes and have no personal feelings. This is not true for you or the Lin family. I will not tolerate it even for the people around me. If you say you despise the most people who kill relatives for justice, doesn't that mean you despise the most? Me? Since you look down on me so much, why do you need to be my disciple and stay under my sect? Just leave, why should you force yourself?"
