Lin Jue frowned and stood quietly next to Kang Zizhen's body without saying a word. Lin Jue didn't know what consequences Guo Bing's willfulness would bring, but Lin Jue knew that it would definitely be a storm.
Guo Bing came over, kicked Kang Zizhen on the head, and spat: "Kang Zizhen, don't blame me for being cruel. If you do something you shouldn't do, I won't tolerate you."
Lin Jue sighed and Guo Bing frowned and said: "What? You still feel sorry for this kind of person? I really can't see through you. What are you thinking in your heart?"
Lin Jue smacked his lips and said, "Father-in-law, you tried to kill Kang Zizhen quickly, but you didn't know how much trouble this would cause. Didn't your father-in-law consider the consequences at all?"
Guo Bing shouted: "What is there to consider? He is looking for death, and I will help him. Being disrespectful and disrespectful to our Zhou royal family is a capital crime. Do you think he is looking for death? Even the emperor will not do it.
Blame this king."
Lin Jue stared at Guo Bing and said: "Father-in-law, do you really think so? Kang Zizhen's move is indeed seeking death, but how is his father-in-law's behavior different from Kang Zizhen's? Isn't he also taking the initiative to stick out his neck? The emperor takes it seriously.
Won’t I blame you?”
Guo Bing frowned, seeming to have woken up. Just when he was about to speak, He Chao came up next to him, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, how should I dispose of this man's body?"
Guo Bing opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say for a moment. Lin Jue said softly: "Commander He, please send the body back to the Yamen and hand it over to his family for restraint. Well... if his family asks about the cause of death, just tell them.
...It is said that... I lost my footing and fell into the water, and an accident occurred."
He Chao glanced at Guo Bing, and Guo Bing glanced at Lin Jue strangely, frowned and said, "If he wants to say that, just do what he says."
He Chao bowed and agreed, and immediately found a small boat, carried Kang Zizhen's body aboard, and ordered the boatmen to transport it to the Zhonghe Prefecture's Yamen. Lin Jue breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to turn around to talk to Guo Bing, when he suddenly heard the news at the dock.
There was a burst of crying. Following the sound, at the entrance of the pier blocked by the guards, a mother and daughter were crying and making a lot of noise.
Soon after, a guard came to report that Qian Zhongze's wife and daughter came to the pier and cried bitterly outside the pier after hearing that Qian Zhongze had committed suicide.
Lin Jue sighed and ordered people to carry Qian Zhongze's body off the boat and to the dock. The guards let Zhao and Qian Xing'er in, and the mother and daughter rushed over and threw themselves on Qian Zhongze's body.
He cried loudly.
Lin Jue stood aside quietly. Suddenly, Qian Xing'er raised his head and shouted to Lin Jue: "Lin Jue, you have harmed me for the rest of my life, but this time you even harmed my father's life. You are so cruel."
You are a very poisonous person. How have my Qian family offended you that you want to treat us like this?"
Lin Jue frowned and said: "Sister-in-law... no... Miss Qian. Your father's death is a tragedy, and I am also very sad. Regarding your father's death, I only tell you that he committed suicide. Since he committed suicide, he committed suicide."
Reason. Everyone has to pay for what he has done. Your father went too far this time, so he paid the price with his life. This is not what I want. If you insist on putting this on my head
Go ahead, I won’t make any excuses. The only thing I can advise you is to collect your father’s body as soon as possible, leave Hangzhou as soon as possible, and never come back again.”
"You murderer, I won't believe you even if you say anything. We all remember this grudge. One day, we will come after you and the Lin family for their lives." Qian Xing'er cursed.
Lin Jue frowned and said: "You can say whatever you want, but please remember my words and leave Hangzhou City immediately. If you want to seek revenge from me, you must have your life. Leave quickly. This is my last advice."
Lin Jue turned around and walked towards the ship. Behind him came the wails and vicious curses of Qian Xing'er and her daughter. Lin Jue's heart was heavy and he sighed. Today's result was not what he wanted at all. But it happened.
This situation is really not what Lin Jue wants. But now is not the time to be sentimental. The current situation is that we must take remedial measures quickly. Because this matter is not trivial. If you are not careful, the Liang Prince's Palace may be in danger. But my own
The willful father-in-law may not realize this yet.
…
In the hall of the Dragon Head Ship, Liang Wang Guo Bing sat there with a frown on his face, his expression a little desolate. Like the emptiness after a climax, Guo Bing at this moment did not have the momentum he had when he drowned Kang Zizhen before, but looked a little worried.
stand up.
Lin Jue and the little princess were sitting next to him. The couple's brows were tightly knitted, and their faces were equally worried.
"Father-in-law, my son-in-law is not too talkative. You are too impulsive today. Killing Kang Zizhen is by no means a trivial matter. Father-in-law... Hey! How could you not do what we agreed to do?
It was originally a matter that allowed Kang Zizhen to be controlled by the prince, but now he has become so passive." Lin Jue sighed softly.
Guo Bingwu said harshly: "So what if I kill him? He offended me and Wei'er, so can't I kill him? Who can do anything to me? I'm just a small fourth-grade prefect, why should I replace him?"
Is he going to die? At worst, he will be punished by the court. At worst, the prince will quit and find a mountain forest to retreat to fishing and hunting."
Lin Jue frowned and said: "My son-in-law would like to remind my father-in-law that this matter must not be taken lightly. Kang Zizhen's identity is not only a fourth-grade official, but also a member of the reform faction. He can come to Hangzhou as the prefect and lead the implementation of the reform
This incident shows that his status in the reform faction is very high. His father-in-law also knows that he is highly regarded by Master Yan. Now is the time when the emperor supports the new law and the reform faction has the upper hand in the court. This incident
It will probably cause a big fuss. If someone takes advantage of it, it will be very difficult."
Guo Bing frowned and said: "Being used by others? Please explain clearly. Who is being used by? How?"
Lin Jue pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Father-in-law, the reform movement in the court is now in full swing. The emperor strongly supports the new law, and everyone in the Zhou Dynasty is working hard to implement the new law and regulations. Although there are voices of opposition in the court, in a few months
After the previous mutual impeachments and arguments, the opposition to the reform faction actually has few voices. At this time, if my father-in-law kills Kang Zizhen, he will definitely be exploited by someone with intentions. If I were a member of the reform faction, I would kill the prince this time.
The killing of Kang Zizhen has escalated to the level of obstructing the implementation of the new law. I will report to the emperor that Prince Liang was dissatisfied with the new law, suppressed and obstructed the implementation of the new law, and wantonly tortured the backbone ministers who implemented the new law. I will ask the emperor to severely punish the prince, otherwise the new law
There is no way to carry it forward. Once these memorials are handed over, I wonder what the emperor will think."
Guo Bing shuddered. At this moment, he really realized that he was in big trouble. If Yan Zhengsheng, Fang Dunru and a group of reformists were to act like this, then he would indeed be in big trouble. Just killing one person, maybe
The punishment is not too severe. A reduction in rank, a fine, a reprimand, or a heavier punishment, but it does not mean that you have to pay for Kang Zizhen's life. If it rises to the point of obstructing the implementation of the new law, then it is not just killing an individual, but
He was going against the emperor and the court. That just gave the emperor a reason to get rid of him.
"Father-in-law, if the reform faction is like this, the other faction will be the same. Will Lu Zhongtian and others let this opportunity pass? They will also magnify the matter and put the prince to death. Let's not talk about personal grudges, just talk about the relationship between the reform faction in the court and
The fight between the reform faction. Lu Zhongtian and the others dare not speak out about the reform now, but they can use this to make the prince die in the hands of the reform faction, thus successfully provoking hatred between the reform faction and the royal family and nobles.
At the same time, the reform faction will be slapped with a big label of poisoning the royal family, and they can be used for liquidation at any time in the future. My father-in-law is the son of the late emperor, how respectful and sensitive is this identity? Each faction can find an angle of entry, but the prerequisite
Only if my father-in-law dies because of this matter can the water be muddied and we can take advantage of the chaos to fish."
"Si~" Guo Bing took a breath of cold air, and the little princess's face changed drastically, and she panicked.
Lin Jue's analysis was explained in simple terms, and basically they all understood it. Basically, what Lin Jue meant was that today's killing of Kang Zizhen could not only be used by the reformists, but also by the opposition, and even the emperor was worried about it in his heart.
He will make use of the topic. Everyone wants Guo Bing to die. In that situation, can Guo Bing still live?
"What should we do? Husband, we have to think of a solution quickly. This matter is so serious. If we don't make arrangements early, I'm afraid it will really be taken advantage of." Guo Caiwei said anxiously from the side.
Lin Jue patted the back of her hand gently and whispered a few words of comfort.
Guo Bing frowned, and when he reached out to hold the tea, his palms were shaking a little. Lin Jue's words were definitely not nonsense. I'm afraid this matter was definitely not as simple as he imagined.
Lin Jue looked at Guo Bing and said softly: "Father-in-law, actually I understand what you did today. You may want to restore the prestige of the palace and refuse to tolerate it any longer, but your outburst came at the wrong time and was not aimed at ideals.
I did the wrong thing to the wrong person at the wrong time. The consequences are really serious. Please think about it carefully, father-in-law."
Guo Bing remained silent. In fact, he had regrets in his heart. The reason why he suddenly changed his plan to kill Kang Zizhen today was actually not a deliberate move. Guo Bing didn't know what was wrong with him? He saw that Kang Zizhen, a villain, was successful.
When the dog slave stood on his ship, blocking his daughter from gesticulating and forcibly searching his ship, Guo Bing couldn't contain his anger. He thought that he was a prince, but now he was bullied by such a dog.
Offended, this feeling is simply intolerable. I remember that when I was in the capital, I was not afraid even when facing Lu Zhongtian. At that time, I was the real prince of Zhou Dynasty. But after the emperor's brother ascended the throne
After that, I had to keep a low profile, but I let these young people poop and piss on me.
It was precisely because of this anger that he decided to kill Kang Zizhen. On the one hand, it was to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys and let people know that his prince was majestic and could not be offended. On the other hand, he believed that killing Kang Zizhen would be a warning to those fanatical promoters of the new law.
It was a wake-up call. It let them know that they could not do whatever they wanted in the Great Zhou Dynasty. He, King Liang, wanted to hold high the banner of opposing the reform and use this to increase his influence...
The deep-seated psychological reason was Guo Bing's extreme dissatisfaction with the imperial court's implementation of the new law. It was a subconscious resistance to the emperor's brother's support for the reform faction, which caused chaos throughout the Zhou Dynasty.
Of course, Guo Bing's head was hot at the time and he didn't think too much about the consequences. When he calmed down afterwards, he immediately felt that something was wrong. Lin Jue's words at this moment made Guo Bing break into a cold sweat. What Lin Jue said
The meaning couldn't be more clear. This matter is likely to become a trigger. The reformists will use this to impeach themselves, and the emperor brother may be suffering from being unable to grasp his own handle. If he catches such a handle, he will naturally not
