In the command room of Tingwei Mansion, Hu Hai was sitting there with a bored look on his face. If Lin Ze hadn't told him that he had something important to discuss, he would have disappeared by now.
Soon Wu Fan hurried over with a stack of letters, saluted Hu Hai and Lin Ze, and said, "I've met Mr. Right Prisoner, and I've met Mr. Commander."
Lin Ze looked at Wu Fan and said coldly: "What was the result?"
Wu Fan couldn't restrain his excitement and said: "My lord's plan is indeed brilliant. According to your instructions, it went very smoothly. Except for a few, everyone wrote letters home asking for help.
By the way, according to your Majesty's wishes, my subordinates and others deliberately guided many people, and the letters for help were addressed to Mr. Fusu."
Lin Ze looked at the stack of letters and nodded with satisfaction.
Hu Hai asked in confusion: "Lin Ze, what's going on?"
Lin Ze then told the whole story about how he designed Fusu's disciples and asked them to use money to redeem people.
Hu Hai was surprised when he heard this: "Lin Ze, you worked so hard to arrest this person, and now just for some training resources and golden tickets, you let him go? Based on your past temperament, shouldn't you be plotting against these people?"
Until death?"
Lin Ze shook his head and said: "It is more beneficial to us to keep them. Master, don't do any good things for Fusu."
Hu Hai expressed confusion and asked: "Why is this?"
Lin Ze picked up a piece of white paper and said, "Master, please look at it. Fusu has always given people the same impression as this white paper, and the master is like jade."
Then he picked up the pen, shook it gently, and a few drops of ink fell down, stained on the white paper, and said: "These disciples who violate the laws of Qin are just like this ink, they are a stain on Fusu."
Speaking of this, Lin Ze said to Hu Hai with a serious face: "Master, do you want to help Su get rid of these stains, or do you want to keep them and dye this white paper darker?"
Hu Hai suddenly realized: "So, of course I will keep them. However, you are asking for martial arts resources for your own cultivation, right?"
Lin Ze said calmly: "Of course these martial arts resources must be left for me to practice. However, I am not doing this just for these resources."
"Young Master, if you think about it, some of the people who were captured cannot afford the ransom. Do you think they want to die or live under my special threats?"
Lin Ze didn't wait for Hu Hai's answer and continued: "Normal people definitely want to live, so I showed them a clear way and asked Fusu for help."
"For Fusu, is a small amount of ransom considered too much? Certainly not, so should he pay it? If not, what do you want the other people under him to think?
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that those people were working for Fusu and were arrested because of Fusu's troubles. Can Fusu not give them?"
"Yes, then the question is, what will those who ask for help from their families or sects think about the ransom paid by their family members or teachers and friends? Will they feel that they have suffered a loss?"
"This series of events is enough to make Fusu dizzy. Master, do you still think it's wrong to let him go?"
Hu Hai couldn't help stroking his palms and said: "Lin Ze, this is a very good thing. Fusu has offended you. It is really bad luck."
Lin Ze... you have no idea who I am working for?
Wu Fan said from the side at the right moment: "Sir, then will my subordinate arrange for people to send all these letters out?"
Lin Ze nodded and said, "Go and make arrangements. It must be delivered to every household before noon tomorrow."
Wu Fan nodded and left with the letter.
Hu Hai suddenly remembered something and asked, "Lin Ze, you have made arrangements, do you need me to do anything else?"
Lin Ze said seriously: "That's it. After the letter is sent, I will arrange a few people to collect the ransom, but I'm worried that Fusu may not give in and come over to cause trouble, so I'll tell the young master first."
"I'm not worried about Fusu. When the time comes, I will allocate a hundred good hands from each of the thousands of households to guard him and not allow him to mess around. But on Mengtian's side, I'm afraid I need the young master to withstand the pressure.
"
Hearing this, Hu Hai patted his chest and said, "Lin Ze, don't worry, just go ahead and do it. Meng Tian will take care of it for you."
Lin Ze smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you, sir."
At this time, Wu Fan ran in again and asked: "Sir, the prison is asking, what should be done if someone refuses to write a letter for help even after death? Is it really sent to Lingnan for mining?"
Lin Ze shook his head when he heard this: "It's too painful to be sent to Lingnan to mine. If you refuse to write until you die, it means you are a die-hard. Aren't there many diseases in prisons? Let people deal with them more cleanly and send them away.
Let’s hit the road.”
Wu Fan's heart trembled after hearing this, and he cupped his hands and said, "I'll explain this now."
…
The next day, Lin Ze summoned ten of his subordinates, Qianhu, and ordered each of them to deploy a hundred experts and transfer them to the prison to be on standby at any time.
Lin Ze simply built a shed at the door and kept an eye on it in person, just in case something unexpected happened.
The six newly recruited people by Lin Ze were arranged to collect ransoms at the gate of the prison and were responsible for releasing people in the prison.
Soon the first family came to collect the person. After honestly handing over two earth treasures and two thousand gold, someone took the name and went in to release the person.
The family elders who came to redeem people left with the depressed-looking family disciples. When they left, they looked at Lin Ze specifically, as if they dared to be angry but dared not speak.
Lin Ze didn't care much either. Even though he was pretending to be fierce, if he became concerned and took the opportunity to get angry, that person would probably have to beg for mercy immediately.
As time passed, Lin Ze's men collected more and more treasures and golden tickets, and soon two baskets were filled.
At this time, Fusu, who had received the letter, rushed over with a group of people. When he saw Lin Ze, he said angrily: "Lin Ze, you dare to accept bribes privately, bend the law for personal gain, and ignore the laws of Qin Dynasty. You deserve the death penalty.
"
Lin Ze replied indifferently: "Master, do you have any evidence to prove that the subordinates took bribes? Don't jump to conclusions and spit on others."
Fusu was trembling with anger and pointed at the six people who were collecting the treasures and golden tickets and said: "You still dare to quibble, isn't it?"
Lin Ze sneered and said, "Mr. Fusu, maybe he has bad eyesight. The official is here. You pointed in the wrong direction."
Fusu said angrily: "Are these people not instigated by you?"
Lin Ze said disapprovingly: "How can Mr. Fusu conclude that it was the lower official who ordered it? Since Mr. Fusu has spoken, please come and arrest the six people and take away their things. We will go back to Tingwei's Mansion for interrogation."
After receiving Lin Ze's order, Zhang Qianhu was the first to rush over and arrest the six people. He also asked two people to carry their things and prepared to go back.
A middle-aged man who had just paid the ransom couldn't help but became anxious: "Sir, my young master has not been released yet. I have paid the ransom. Sir, please have mercy."
Lin Ze pointed at Fusu and said, "It's not that I'm not merciful. Mr. Fusu is here, so I have to stop. But it's okay. Since you handed it over, you will definitely let your son go when you come back. You can come back tomorrow."
Bar."
The middle-aged man looked helpless and anxious. His master asked him to come over to redeem someone, but someone else's ransom was taken away, while his own was still inside. The problem is that the ransom has been paid, but what should I do?
I couldn't help complaining to Fu Su, "You said you wouldn't come earlier or later, why are you here now?"
The other people who came with ransom money but failed to redeem anyone also looked at Fusu with resentment.
Fusu felt the burning gazes of everyone and couldn't help but become more and more annoyed.
