(One hundred and sixty-seven) backer

At this time, Lu Juefeng was worried that if he told the truth simply and neatly, King Jingyin would be surprised at first, and he would be more susceptible to serious punishment. So he said vaguely: "Some of Yin Ruchen's previous actions had interfered with the people below Weichen doing things according to Weichen's wishes, and of course he also interfered with the people below Sun Guye doing things according to his wishes... Therefore, Weichen would have worked with Sun Guye to deal with Yin Ruchen, who had interfered with the people below him."

King Jingyin looked at Yin Ruchen again and asked, "Miss Yin, he said you have interfered with the people below him in doing things?"

Yin Ruchen considered that he had indeed hit many evil officials in his previous missions, so he thought: Could it be that Sun Guye and Lu Juefeng are both backers behind the evil officials? If this is the case, then he may have interfered with the people below them in doing things. But if the "interference" mentioned by Lu Juefeng really refers to such things, it proves that what he instructs the people below to do is not a good thing.

Yin Ruchen replied: "The young woman only 'interfered' some evil officials to do evil things."

Although Yin Ruchen's words were not long, they hit Lu Juefeng's heart like a heavy hammer. He wanted to slowly tell the truth to King Jingyin and let King Jingyin accept it. But as soon as Yin Ruchen said this, even if he didn't immediately confess that what the people below did were doing was a bad thing, he didn't know what to say.

"Lu Juefeng, have you ever instructed the evil officials to do evil things?" King Jing Yin asked.

Lu Juefeng looked puzzled and didn't know how to answer this question.

"Yes, no, no, what's hard to answer?" King Jing Yin frowned.

"The people below me have done bad things, and they do have something to do with me. However, all the officials who do evil things have been punished..." Lu Juefeng said hesitantly.

"Tell me clearly! If the people below you do evil things, if you instruct them, you will directly say that they were instructed by you! What does it mean to be 'there is some relationship'? I am vague! What is it?" King Jing Yin said sternly.

Lu Juefeng asked the people below to do more than one evil thing, and at this time he didn't know which one would make his sins seem less serious. Unexpectedly, Sun Guye interrupted: "He asked the people below to impose heavy taxes, threatened the people who did not pay, and asked the people below to hand over part of the money they earned to him, and said that if something happened, he would be responsible. Because Yin Ruchen fought against the threat of force, he disrupted the situation and caused a big deal, which attracted the attention of an official. As a result, something happened to the people below him, and he took the blame. In the end, the people below him were punished, but he was still safe in this position. If he hadn't been to beg me at that time, I would have thought of a solution for him, he would have been unable to speak here!"

What Sun Guye said this time was indeed the truth. The "certain official" mentioned in his words refers to Zhou Rong, a powerful and honest official. Because he hated Zhou Rong, who blocked his wealth, he refused to mention Zhou Rong's name at this time.

Lu Juefeng knew that what Sun Guye said this time was a fact, but it was not said in a way he could accept it, so he did not admit it positively: "Sun Guye just wanted to pull the Wei minister into the water!"

Only then did Yin Ruchen realize that the backer behind the evil official who oppressed the people was Lu Juefeng.
