After Fu Su left angrily, Lin Ze immediately bowed his hands towards Meng Tian and said, "That's it. If you have nothing else to do, I will leave first."
"Wait a minute," Meng Tian stood up from the main seat, walked slowly to Lin Ze, stared at him condescendingly and said, "Are you really serious about this matter?"
"Listen to me, if you have to spare others, please spare them. With your intelligence and talent, why would you go astray? Isn't your duty a good one? There may not be a place for you in the Qin Dynasty in the future."
How could Lin Ze not know that Meng Tian was dissatisfied with him for doing things like this? But from his perspective, he had fallen too deep in order to obtain a big position for Hu Hai. Now, wouldn't it be a way to die if he kept half-heartedly?
If Fusu is not completely suppressed, will Fusu succeed to the throne in the future, and will there be good fruits for him? Xu Fu may be able to protect him for a while, but in the end, he may be worse than dead.
Therefore, Lin Ze pretended not to understand and replied righteously: "What you said is absolutely true. It is the duty of a lower official to arrest the rebellious party for Da Qin and maintain the stability of the people of Da Qin."
"As for whether I can be ranked above the imperial court in the future, I cannot afford to be Miao Zan. After all, those who are more talented than me in this world are like crucian carp crossing the river. I don't dare to hope for my talent and knowledge."
Meng Tian looked at the young man in front of him and saw nothing strange on his face. He sighed deeply and said, "Just take care of yourself."
Lin Ze cupped his hands and retreated slowly.
After Lin Ze left, Hu Hai stood up and said to Meng Tian: "I completely agree with Master Meng's words, and there is no need to do anything wrong. But Master Meng is so sure that Fu Su can succeed to the throne, and he is so biased in helping him?
"
After leaving these words, Hu Haishi left, leaving only Meng Tian standing in the hall with a gloomy face.
…
After Lin Ze returned to the command room, Wu Fan took several people to see him.
After Lin Ze called him in, Wu Fan held a stack of paper in both hands and said, "Sir, this is the confession that the prison just asked. Please take a look at it."
Lin Ze took it and opened it, and found that they all confessed to some minor things that violated the laws of the Qin Dynasty. There were signatures and fingerprints at the bottom.
Lin Ze nodded and said, "Well done."
Wu Fan asked with confusion on his face: "Sir, I don't quite understand. The charges you have charged are not serious. They are not harmful at all. They will only be imprisoned for a few days and fined a few coppers at most. Your Excellency has spent so much effort,
Shouldn’t it be…”
Lin Ze asked, "What shouldn't be done?"
Wu Fan gritted his teeth and said, "Didn't your Excellency say that they are rebels? Why don't you confirm one or two?"
Lin Ze's face turned solemn and he said: "Shut up, do you think I am the kind of mediocre official who falsely accuses others? Wearing this official uniform, I have to act according to the laws of the Qin Dynasty. Whatever they committed, how should they be punished?
, it’s up to you how to judge, it’s not my turn to make up nonsense.”
Wu Fan looked shocked after hearing this. You specifically singled out the forces under Mr. Su for investigation. Isn't it just for personal use? Why do you suddenly seem to be a different person again?
Lin Ze continued: "Of course, it is not yet possible to determine that they are not a rebel party. The investigation must continue. Remember, there must be solid evidence, otherwise no one can be convicted."
Wu Fan left with a confused look on his face. He really couldn't figure out what this adult was thinking.
But is Lin Ze really just idle and just trying to catch the people under the Fusu clan?
Of course not. As long as there is a legitimate reason to arrest someone, and then link them to the rebellious party, and then say that the matter has not been investigated clearly, it is enough to keep the person in jail.
As for why it was a valid reason? Even if Lin Ze regarded everyone as a fool, he would not dare to treat Emperor Qin as a fool.
If Lin Ze dared to make up random charges and convict Fusu's family, Fusu would report it to Emperor Qin. When Emperor Qin found out the truth and found out that Lin Ze was responsible, he would probably be beaten to death on the spot.
The emperor is so arrogant at his feet. Do you really think that I am a fool?
Qin Hui killed Yue Fei on a trumped-up charge and was scolded for a thousand years. If Qin Hui only detained Yue Fei for a few days on a trumped-up charge, would he be scolded?
Lin Ze said that the possibility of being scolded was too small.
…
In the Yangxin Hall, Fusu knelt straight in front of Emperor Qin without saying a word.
Emperor Qin frowned and said, "Fusu, what do you mean?"
Fusu bowed straight down and said: "My son, I sincerely ask my father to make the decision."
A trace of disgust flashed across Emperor Qin's face and he said: "Man, if you have something to say, stand up and say it, don't embarrass me."
Fusu got up from the ground, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he cursed the person who gave him this bad idea. Who said that this would arouse the affection of his father? I didn't see it.
Putting the thought out of his mind, Fusu said formally: "I would like to report to my father, this is the case. My son has recruited some disciples, all of whom are outstanding figures in the world. But a few days ago, someone maliciously misinterpreted Qin's laws and fabricated charges at will.
The disciples of Er Chen framed them as rebels and took them all into the Black Guard Prison, intending to torture them to extract confessions."
"My son brought people to argue with him, but he was publicly humiliated by him. I just wished that I was not in public and could do nothing, so I asked my father to make the decision."
Emperor Qin said expressionlessly: "Oh, who is so bold and dares to bully you?"
Fusu gritted his teeth and said, "It is the newly promoted commander of the black guards, Lin Ze. My father must punish him severely."
"Lin Ze?" Emperor Qin thought about it for a moment. Wasn't he the young man who was following Hu Hai? Emperor Qin's face turned gloomy when he thought of this. Did the two brothers not want me to worry?
Then he said coldly to Zhao Gao who was standing aside: "Zhao Gao, pass on my decree and let Hu Hai and Lin Ze enter the palace to see me. I want to ask them whether they have taken what I said to heart."
After hearing this, Zhao Gao saluted Emperor Qin and left.
Fusu was happy when he heard this. His father was angry. I see how arrogant you are this time, Lin Ze.
Soon Lin Ze and Hu Hai received the summons from Emperor Qin.
The little eunuch who delivered the order secretly stuffed a note into Hu Hai. Hu Hai calmly opened it and read: "Fu Su is suing. His Majesty is furious. You must handle it with caution."
Hu Hai handed the note to Lin Ze again. Lin Ze looked at it and just smiled, shattered it with his energy and said, "Young master, don't worry, I have already prepared it."
Hu Hai nodded, and the two of them quickly rushed towards the palace.
After the two people entered the Yangxin Hall, they immediately bowed to Emperor Qin and said, "My son, I, pay my respects to your father, Your Majesty."
Emperor Qin replied coldly: "Get back on your feet."
As soon as the two of them stood up straight, Emperor Qin snorted coldly: "Lin Ze, you are so brave. You dare to act lawless and plot against Fusu. Are you seeking death?"
Lin Ze's expression of astonishment appeared just right: "Why did your Majesty say this? I am wronged."
