Emperor Qin heard this and said curiously: "Why do you say this?"
Wang Jian said categorically: "Because the military order in Wang Li's hand is fake, Lin Ze does not need to be punished for a fake military order."
Wang Li looked at his grandfather in disbelief. Is Lin Ze your grandson or am I your grandson? Is there anyone who would cheat a grandson like this?
Emperor Qin said in a deep voice: "Marquis Wu Cheng must have thought clearly. If the military order is true, Wang Li will be innocent and Lin Ze will be punished. If the military order is false, Wang Li's crime will be serious."
Wang Jian had a firm look on his face: "I confirm that the military order is false. Wang Li is guilty. I am willing to fine him a copper and demote him to reduce the punishment. I must not unjustly accuse a good person."
Wang Jian smiled bitterly in his heart: The military order is fake. At most, Wang Li can accompany him. If the military order is true, the entire Wang family will be destroyed. Not all of us here are fools. Everyone knows the truth of the matter.
It could be fake. It could be Wang Li's nonsense. It's a farce by an immature child. Although it has a bad impact, it can be treated as a joke.
Really, it means that the entire Western Region Protectorate is endorsing Wang Li. Today, they can forge military orders and go to Chang'an to arrest people. Does Emperor Qin think that the Protectorate is so united? Will you forge military orders to attack in the future?
Chang'an? Do your Wang family want to rebel?
Wang Jian knew very well how Chang Xinhou died that year. With a little merit, he dared to lead two thousand elites in Xianyang Palace. In the end, he died and his family was wiped out. The great master died and was torn apart by a chariot. What a disastrous end.
miserable.
Emperor Qin's face showed no expression: "This is going to be a bit difficult. Zhao Gao, tell me how to deal with it?"
Zhao Gao understood the idea and said: "Wang Li forged an arrest warrant and should be executed according to the law. Since he did not cause much harm, he should be sentenced to ten years of hard labor, demoted to the third rank, and fined 100,000 yuan. Lin Ze resisted the arrest order.
Although it is a forgery, the fact exists. He will be sentenced to serve in Shanglinyuan for one year. Do you two have any objections?"
Wang Jian didn't wait for Wang Li to speak and replied directly: "Wang Li has no objection."
Lin Ze also said: "I have no objection."
Hu Hai quit: "Father, isn't this right? It has been found out that everything is Wang Li's fault, why do we still punish Lin Ze?"
"The laws of Qin must not be blasphemed. Okay, everyone, please retreat." Emperor Qin waved his hand and swept everyone out except Wang Jian and Zhao Gao.
Wang Jian bowed and saluted: "I have been lax in discipline. Your Majesty, please punish me."
Emperor Qin stared at Wang Jian for a long time, looking at his figure who was about to bow, and then remembered the high-spirited general back then, and said lightly: "If you don't do this next time, just take care of yourself." After saying that, he stood up and left.
Wang Jian waited for Emperor Qin to leave before he stood up. It was as if his energy and spirit had been drained from his whole body. He felt even older. When he left the hall, he saw Wang Li paralyzed on the ground and Uncle Yi standing aside.
, said coldly: "Ayi, you take Li'er to the Western Regions, and you will not allow him to return to Chang'an again in this life."
Uncle Yi immediately responded: "No, uncle."
On the other side, Hu Hai was comforting Lin Ze: "My father is really merciless, but it's okay. Shanglin Garden is not far outside Chang'an City. I will visit you often."
Lin Ze silently said, this is the first time that I feel helpless and can only wait to be dealt with. I am a time traveler with a golden finger, how can I be so miserable?
In my previous life, I saw people traveling through time and pretending to be cool everywhere. Not only did their younger brothers seek refuge with them, but also beautiful women threw themselves into their arms. Every time I pretended to be cool, accidents happened. I must have picked up the wrong time-traveling script.
Complaints are complaints, now that Emperor Qin's order has been issued, Lin Ze doesn't dare to disobey it. He returns to the Lin Mansion, prepares to pack his things, and reports to Shanglin Garden on another day.
Huang Banban pulled Lin Ze to the living room: "Lin Ze, now that you are gone, the young master will lose a big helping hand. How will he compete with Fusu this year?"
Lin Ze smiled bitterly: "Originally, we were on the defensive and could only wait for the other party to make mistakes. Now the other party is trying hard to get me out of Chang'an. I'm not sure what the next move will be."
Huang Banban was shocked: "Did Fusu and the others instigate this matter today?"
Lin Ze nodded affirmatively: "I am sure that this matter was planned by one of them. Wang Li is a bit stupid, but the Wang family is not stupid. They dare to do such things as forging military orders. It can only be said that there is something behind the scenes.
People already have Wang Li as their scapegoat, so they dare to act unscrupulously."
As soon as these words came out, Huang Banban's face became more worried: "Then what should we do, Lin Ze, you must help the young master."
Lin Ze looked at Hu Hai, who had a hopeful look on his face, and sighed: "I can't help you with the specifics, but in general I have three strategies. It will only take about a year, and the young master will have no problem getting through it safely."
Hu Hai was overjoyed and immediately replied: "I know you have a solution, please tell me quickly and let me know how to deal with Fusu."
Lin Ze took a sip of tea and said: "The best thing is for the young master to work hard and do everything he can to make His Majesty happy."
Hu Hai looked confused: "What's the best idea? Isn't this a competition with Fusu?"
Lin Ze shook his head: "To your majesty, he is an emperor and a father. If the young master can do that, your majesty will be deeply pleased, and Fusu can deal with other people who help the young master.
But I can’t take action against the young master. Besides, I feel that this punishment is mainly to remove me from the young master’s side so that he can become a talented person.”
Hu Hai replied in a daze: "This is the truth, but I can't do it. Lin Ze, you might as well suggest the right strategy."
"The middle strategy is for the young master to give up on his previous plan and use the restaurant as a tool for his own enjoyment. Huang Banban secretly cultivates the young master's influence."
"Lin Ze, the difference between your two strategies is too big. How will I explain to my father when the time comes?"
"Young master, you don't need to explain to your majesty. If your majesty asks, you only need to answer that the world is here to worship the king, not for the king to accommodate the world."
Huang Banban was shocked when he heard this. If Hu Hai said this to Emperor Qin, would he be beaten to death?
But Hu Hai thinks it makes sense. Isn't being an emperor just for enjoyment?
"Wouldn't this help Fusu embarrass me?"
Lin Ze looked at Hu Hai with an idiotic look on his face, "You have given up, but I can't kill you all. Fusu is stupid, so he will not hesitate to embarrass you."
Huang Banban quickly smoothed things over: "What's the next move?"
Lin Ze shook his head: "The rest is the best policy."
Hu Hai and Huang Banban were overjoyed, and both looked straight at Lin Ze.
Lin Ze smiled mysteriously: "The best thing to do is to flip over the table and smash Fusu's restaurant together with your own. It will make everyone miserable."
Hu Hai..., Huang Banban...
"If Your Majesty is to blame, Young Master, just say that it hurts the brotherhood, so you don't want to take the test. I guarantee that Young Master will be fine." After that, he packed up his things.
The two masters and servants were left staring at each other.
