In the carriage, Mr. Xin's angry glare at Lin Ye did not frighten the guy.
"I'm already taking the blame. What's the use of scaring me, sir?"
Lin Ye shrugged his shoulders, looking as arrogant as a dead pig not afraid of boiling water.
At this time, Mr. Xin also knew that Lin Ye was right. His Majesty did not investigate the matter of Shangyang Palace before because he did not want to be scolded by the people.
How good it is now, Lin Ye is here, investigating Shangyang Palace, and then weakening Shangyang Palace, all because of Lin Ye's assassination.
Moreover, Lin Ye was unyielding from the beginning to the end, and he wouldn't even give face to the headmaster when he came forward in person.
The final result of this matter was such a big scapegoat that no one except Lin Ye could bear it.
"But, since this is the conspiracy of those people, why does Your Majesty follow them?"
Nie Wuzhi, who was sitting next to him, suddenly asked.
Lin Ye looked at Nie Wuzhi and suddenly felt that among the three of them, the most innocent one was the priest.
Thinking about it again, Nie Wuzhi was not naive, but he still didn't understand that his majesty was not following his opponent's plan, but that his majesty had wanted to weaken Shangyang Palace from the beginning.
However, His Majesty has been waiting for opportunities and reasons.
Today's grand plan is not just as simple as rectifying the administration of officials.
He will use all his time in office to eliminate all hidden dangers in Dayu. If he cannot eliminate them completely, then he will eliminate the biggest hidden dangers.
Shangyang Palace is definitely not just a good side for a country.
Such a behemoth enjoys privileges that even the imperial court cannot control. It is good to have a leader like the headmaster to suppress it. If an irrational headmaster appears, the harm to Shangyang Palace will be far greater than that of any powerful minister.
Far more than any other family.
When he was in Yunzhou, Lin Ye entered Tianshuiya of Shangyang Palace and had a conversation with Ai Youyou.
He said, go and see what Tianshuiya's disciples look like after they go out. They twist their waists, swing their crotches, and point their nostrils to the sky. At that time, Ai Youyou felt irritated, and everyone under his command found it ridiculous.
There is still a real headmaster suppressing this. Once a lax headmaster appears in the future, what will Shangyang Palace look like?
It is good to have a loose headmaster, but what if an ambitious headmaster appears?
For a person like the Emperor, when he regained the supremacy of imperial power, he did not even fight back with one blow, but with bites.
At this point, it was impossible for him to stop.
After Nie Wuzhi asked that question, he actually realized that he was not really stupid, he just didn't think about it for a while.
He had never considered before that the emperor would take the initiative to weaken Shangyang Palace.
At this time, Lin Ye just looked at him like that, and Mr. Xin just looked at him like that. Nie Wuzhi understood after a moment.
"Yeah... there has to be a beginning."
Nie Wuzhi muttered to himself.
He said: "The place His Majesty chose to enter is really speechless. The black knight who protects the teachings... is not Shangyang Palace's own thing, but a gift from the imperial power."
Mr. Xin sighed softly.
The cavalry guards were a gift from Emperor Taizu. If nothing particularly important happened, no emperor would dare to abolish this gift from Taizu at will.
So think about it, how big and heavy is Lin Ye’s pot?
That is not a short-term problem, it is a problem that will last for many years. No matter how much time passes in the future, if a disciple of Shangyang mentions that his status is not as good as before, he will inevitably attribute the responsibility to Lin Ye and also greet Lin Ye.
eight generations of ancestors.
Mr. Xin looked at Lin Ye: "It turns out that being reused and favored is just a price."
Lin Ye: "Sir, please treat me better in the future."
Mr. Xin said: "Your Majesty has made a start, made a mark, and lit a bright light. Do you think I will treat you better in the future?"
Lin Ye: "..."
At this moment, it seemed to become much clearer why Lin Ye was so favored before.
Because the emperor needs such a person, a person who has hatred against the old Xungui clan and cannot be complicit. He is the descendant of Liu Jigong who was killed by the old Xungui clan. Who else is more suitable than him?
"Now, people from all the major families are eager to peel off your skin..."
Nie Wuzhi said: "In the near future, if Your Majesty goes further because of the matter of protecting the black knight, then the people in Shangyang Palace will also want to take your skin off."
He looked out the car window and said in a low tone: "Everyone is the same. I have privileges but I don't use them. That's noble. I have privileges and I use them. That's natural. I can use them or not, but you can't."
Take away the privilege from me..."
Lin Ye said: "So, you all should love me well from now on."
He said: "Maybe one day, the person who can't help but kill me is not someone from Xungui's side, but a certain master from Shangyang Palace."
Speaking of this, Lin Ye couldn't help but envy Ning Weimo.
Because before this huge turmoil, His Majesty pressed Ning Weimo down. It seemed to be punishment, but in fact it was protection.
And what about Lin Ye?
The emperor forced Lin Ye to face this turmoil, no...it was the emperor who forced Lin Ye to provoke this turmoil.
Your Majesty transferred Shi Jintang and Xumi Pianruo back, and also asked Hongwu Ding in the western Xinjiang and Ning Shehai in the northern Xinjiang to lead the troops. This is forcing Lin Ye to rush forward.
"so......"
Mr. Xin looked at Lin Ye and said, "While you have some privileges now, play around if you can. If you don't act arrogantly now, you won't have many opportunities to act arrogantly in the future."
Lin Ye sighed: "Sir is really ruthless, and he is starting to lay the foundation for my troubles."
Mr. Xin glared at him.
Lin Ye shouted towards the outside of the carriage: "Stop the car, I want to get out."
Mr. Xin asked him: "Where are you going?"
Lin Ye said: "Didn't Sir just say that I should be bold while I can still do it, otherwise I won't have many opportunities in the future."
After he got off the carriage, he looked around. This prosperous and splendid Geling City looked so beautiful everywhere. The buildings didn't look like buildings, but like bright flowers.
Who knows how many colorful venomous snakes are hidden behind these colorful flowers.
Lin Ye stood there and waited for a while, then several soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Cowardly Army came over and handed Lin Ye two boxes.
Many people now know what is contained in these two boxes.
Lin Ye carried the box and walked along the street, looking like he was strolling.
It was already dark at this time, and the lights in Geling City were brilliant.
There is no curfew in the capital, and a certain period of the night is even more prosperous than during the day, with many more people than during the day.
Especially... Qingyuhe.
Someone once said that if you don’t go to Qingyu River to visit Geling, it’s like you have never been to Geling.
A person can't even walk all the way to Dayu in a lifetime, but a person can experience all kinds of exotic customs in Qingyu River in a month.
When Lin Ye was walking to Qingyu River, he didn't know how many people were watching him secretly, wanting to see if this general who had just caused a stir had the courage to go directly to Qingyu River to enjoy himself.
If he really had the courage, I'm afraid the officials at Dayu Yushitai would be happy.
It's been a long time since I've encountered such a big job. Being able to kill a feudal official just by visiting a brothel is a big and exciting job.
Lin Ye was really courageous. He came out of the palace and was still wearing the uniform of the Protector General.
So wherever he goes, he attracts the attention of countless people.
A high-ranking official in the border area, walking alone on the bank of Qingyu River carrying two boxes, is a bit unreal in itself.
Precisely because Lin Ye was wearing an official uniform, the official uniform of a first-class official, even the girls soliciting customers on both sides of the Qingyu River did not dare to provoke him.
If anyone forcibly drags a first-class official into his building, the family will basically be doomed. Not long after, Lin Ye stopped in front of a wooden building and looked up at the door of the wooden building.
Plaque.
Qingyu Village.
There are so many businesses on both sides of the Qingyu River, but only one directly uses the word Qingyu.
Wang family business.
Qingyuzhuang is very large. It is not only a brothel business, but also everything you want to do here.
The backyard of Qingyu Village is a casino, one of the few legal casinos in Geling City.
The large garden on the left with its pavilions and pavilions looks beautiful. It is the Diecui Garden in Qingyu Village. It is said that 60% of the most valuable girls on the Qingyu River side are in the Diecui Garden.
There is also a large garden on the right, which is a bit complicated. There is a theater, an inn, and various places for leisure and enjoyment.
In addition, there is a pawn shop.
Lin Ye stepped into Qingyuzhuang, and the guys all became nervous, wondering what this guy meant by his sudden arrival.
As if he had been here before, Lin Ye walked to the right in a familiar way and went straight to Su Lou, known as the number one pawn shop in the capital.
Before entering, the shopkeeper of Su Lou led everyone out to greet him.
Lin Ye is a first-rank official. With this status, let alone Qing Yuhe, he will be greeted by someone 99% of the time he goes to places in Geling City.
"General, please."
The shopkeeper leaned over and made a gesture of invitation, his attitude seemed very respectful.
Lin Ye looked at this woman and seemed quite satisfied because she was pretty enough and had a good temperament.
This woman is Xu Xinshu.
Xu Xinshu is Wang Luoshen's most capable assistant, Wang Luoshen's niece, and the daughter of Wang Luoshen's younger sister.
"General, what kind of business does he have to take care of when he comes to Sulou?"
Xu Xinshu looked sideways at the two boxes, suppressing the anger in her heart.
If Lin Ye really dared to take out the two heads, Xu Xinshu didn't know if she could bear it.
"I came from Yunzhou in a hurry, and I didn't have much money with me. I didn't need to spend anything. After all, there are court expenses."
Lin Ye sat down and put the two boxes on the table.
"However, the guards around me were injured on the way. They were injured because they fought hard for me. I can't help but express my feelings."
Lin Ye glanced at the two boxes: "So I chose some things and came to your place to see if I can pawn some silver."
Xu Xinshu leaned over and said: "If the general needs it urgently, he can take it from Su Lou's account first, and then return it to Su Lou when the general is free. Why bother to pawn his beloved things."
Lin Ye said: "The rules of the court are the rules. It's embarrassing for me to pawn my own things when I'm short of money, but it's not illegal. If I take your money, it's not only embarrassing but also illegal."
Xu Xinshu asked: "Then...what does the general want to be?"
Lin Ye replied: "The most valuable things around me are these two heads. After all, they are the heads of felons in the imperial court. How much do you think they are worth?"
Xu Xinshu's anger suddenly boiled up. No matter how deep her palace was, she couldn't hold it back even if she was provoked like this by Lin Ye. Besides, no matter how deep her palace was, Wang Luoshen kept her by his side because of her special status.
Of course she knew whose heads were in the box. They belonged to her two cousins, the eldest son and the second son of the prince.
"General, this head is considered evidence of crime. It's not that Su Lou won't give it to the general, but it involves national law and a serious case."
Xu Xinshu tried his best to suppress his murderous aura and said calmly: "I hope the general will forgive me. Although what Su Lou is doing is a pawn business, it is also a legal business."
Lin Ye said oh.
He opened one of the boxes: "What are you talking about? How do you know what kind of human head I'm talking about?"
In that box, there was actually a crystal-clear jade head.
But the moment he saw the head, Xu Xinshu's eyes began to turn red, and the fists in his sleeves were clenched tightly, with veins exposed.
It was a jade carved human head, but it looked exactly like Wang Fenglin.
