Chapter 328: Late Letter
The ministers in the Hall of Shame were surprised by this shout.
Master Lin! "Lin Jianshen?
His urgent matter...is it about this?"
"I don't know, it's very likely that Lin Jianshen had just been ordered to take charge of Yangzhou for the time being. Such a big thing happened, and he had not made a memorial before, which was abnormal..." "Yes, I don't know what Lin Jianshen's attitude would be..." For a moment, everyone was waiting.
Everyone knows that Lin Jianshen is now deeply trusted by the emperor and is currently in charge of Yangzhou. His opinions on this matter must have a great influence! On the dragon throne, Emperor Jianye finally raised his eyebrows and said, "Take it in!"
Suddenly, the eunuch outside took the letter and respectfully sent it to the jade stairs before handing it over to the eunuch of Sili, who submitted it to the emperor.
Emperor Jianye took the belated letter and opened the envelope.
His eyes swept across the envelope line by line.
The Hall of Shame suddenly became quiet, and all the officials were silent, but everyone's face was full of guesswork! What exactly would it be?
Even Li Wen finally had a trace of solemn appearance on his face at this moment, staring at the emperor's face.
He saw that the emperor's face gradually became heavier. The more he looked down, the more the anger between his eyebrows seemed to become stronger! At this moment, the officials suddenly became nervous.
What exactly was written in the letter?
Finally, the emperor finished reading the letter.
He raised his eyes and glanced at the officials in the field. The anger in his eyes was uncontrollable and shouted: "A group of thieves, I am almost blinded by you!"
A group of thieves! Hearing this sentence, all the officials in the Hall of Shame were shocked and their faces changed drastically.
What does this mean?
Why is the emperor so angry?
He actually scolded all officials as traitors! This is something that has never happened before.
For a moment, everyone was surprised and shocked.
"Come, show them Lin Jianshen's letter!"
The emperor handed the letter in his hand to the eunuch next to him.
The eunuch hurriedly took it, walked down, and first handed the letter to the right prime minister Li Wen.
Li Wen's face was very serious. When he opened the letter one by one, he suddenly jumped in his eyes, as if he had seen something amazing. The more he looked, the more ugly his face became.
"What exactly is written in this letter... Why do the Lord and the Right Prime Minister have the same expression?"
"Mr. Lin didn't stand with us?"
"What happened? It made the emperor so angry..." All the officials spoke, eager and wished to see the contents of the letter immediately! After reading it, Li Wen's face was extremely ugly. It was hard to imagine that the right prime minister who had just calmed down and knew everything would be so disobedient at this moment! He passed the letter to Duan Congrong on his right hand and said, "General Duan, take a look too!"
Duan Congrong had already jumped in the letter, and he took it at this moment, and his face changed drastically. After reading it, he couldn't help but say in a lost voice: "How is this possible!"
The letter flowed rapidly among all officials! After reading it, the expressions of each person were almost the same! From accident to shock, from shock, it was incredible! In the end, almost everyone's face was extremely ugly.
Especially Sun Zhongfu, after he received the letter and read it, his eyes were even more thumping, and a look of fear flashed across his face. He said in a flash: "Master... this is impossible, this is impossible!"
On the dragon throne, the emperor only looked at the ministers below with a gloomy face! Just now, the word "members" seemed to be a serious crime not to kill Li Fan or attack Zhao Nantang! Now, there was a hint of mockery in the emperor's eyes, as if he was appreciating, admiring the scene of these officials being slapped in the face.
The officials who read the letter also exclaimed.
"If what we say in our hearts is true, then... then we are simply wronged by Li Fan?"
"Li Fan said this, not only was he not a person who was extremely guilty, but was forced to ask for his life for the people?"
"No, this is impossible!"
All the officials were shocked and surprised! Wen Baishan also read the letter, and his heart was also shocked.
The letter is written by Lin Jianshen’s personal visit to Zhengyang County! The letter states the causes and consequences of Li Fan’s killing of thousands of people without permission.
Three years ago, because of the words of the Sanmu Taoist in the Evergreen Land, the people lost their territory and the great clans abused them! Zhengyang County Magistrate An Youmin also died because of the interests of various major families. The people who went to the county government to protest were beaten to death by sticks.
Three years later, Li Fan was appointed as the magistrate of Zhengyang County and asked for the people to order. He even investigated the crimes of the four major families in Zhengyang County, and the evidence was conclusive.
Moreover, evidence was found that the Linchuan County Magistrate framed An Youmin.
The letter was written by Linchuan County's playboy and raped the commoner of Yu Zhengyang County. It was precisely because of this incident that Li Fan was furious and went straight to kill! Everything came up! The letter was written by Lin Jianshen himself. Everything in his heart was described in detail, without any fabrication. In fact, Lin Jianshen did not even reveal a trace of joy and anger, but just wrote down the facts objectively! "So that's it, so that's it!"
At this moment, Wen Baishan suddenly realized that all the previous mysteries were solved.
He once said that Li Fan is a lunatic. As long as Li Fan is given enough reasons, no matter how many people he kills, Li Fan may kill him.
But he himself couldn't figure out what kind of reason could support such a great murder and make Li Fan lose his reputation regardless of his life.
Now, he understood.
In the Xinglin, Li Fan had sacrificed his life for those veterans and suffered dozens of injuries! In Zhengyang County, he also killed all corrupt officials for the people of Zhengyang County! "Master, this letter was written by Master Lin's personal hand! Master Lin was in charge of Yangzhou, and Li Fan had no acquaintance. He would never shelter Li Fan like a mere county magistrate!"
"So, I think this is the truth!"
"Li Fan is understandable to kill someone!"
Wen Baishan spoke directly. He was the emperor's confidant, so he naturally understood the emperor's thoughts. He had wanted to speak just now, but he was struggling with no evidence and had no evidence. However, now Lin Jianshen's letter gave him a reason to speak out! The emperor also glanced indifferently in the venue and said, "You have read Lin Jianshen's letter. Now, what do you have to say?"
Sun Zhongfu's face changed three times. He gritted his teeth and stepped forward and said, "Master, I think that Master Lin's letter is biased!"
"I have always been very strict with my family. The Sun family in Linchuan will definitely not do so randomly. I am afraid that Master Lin will be deceived by a traitor!"
He spoke with a stingy head, he had to question it.
If you admit that the facts in this letter are true, it is equivalent to admitting that his Linchuan Sun family participated in the exploitation and oppression of the people and the frame-up of An Youmin! This has had a great impact on the Sun family, and even Sun Zhongfu will be affected! Therefore, it must not be recognized.
Even if you question this way, you will inevitably offend Lin Jianshen and you will have to go! "I also believe that there are often evil people in the world, but how can there be so many big families in the entire Zhengyang County, all of whom are vicious?
How could the officials of Linchuan County be like this?”
"Yes, I don't believe that there is such a dark thing in this world!"
Many officials with good relationships with Sun Zhongfu also spoke out.
"Yeah?"
But the emperor said coldly: "It is said that Zhao Qing will come to the palace!"
In an instant, the eunuch Sili shouted: "Tell me that Zhao Qing goes to the palace!"
"It's said that Zhao Qing goes to the palace!"
A loud shout came out.
When all the officials were confused, a young official walked in from outside and suddenly followed Lin Jianshen to Yangzhou Zhao Qing! At this moment, Zhao Qing was exhausted. Obviously, he had changed his clothes before entering the palace, and his whole face was filled with a look of fatigue and rushing.
"My minister Zhao Qing, pay homage to the emperor!"
Zhao Qing knelt down and saluted.
"Get up."
Emperor Jianye spoke and said, "You followed Lin Jianshen to Zhengyang County and tell me what did you and Lin Jianshen see."
Upon hearing this, all officials were shocked.
Zhao Qing was the one who followed Lin Jianshen to Zhengyang County... In this way, Zhao Qing is the real witness! His words would be very convincing! Zhao Qing then stood up and said, "As for the order!"
"A few days ago, Lord Lin obtained a piece of evidence from Zhili Prefecture, Yangzhou, and a piece of testimony from hundreds of people in Zhengyang County, clearly telling the story of the Zhengyang County Magistrate Pang Shanming and the county magistrate Liang Bingwu in the court and openly beat hundreds of people to death by sticking in the court!"
"The evidence is detailed. After reading it, Lord Lin also felt that it was of great importance. Then, news came that Li Fan had committed thousands of people without authorization in Zhengyang County. Lord Lin was shocked and took his servant to Zhengyang County."
When he said this, he had a heavy look on his face and said, "When he arrived in Zhengyang County, Zhengyang County was covered with mourning clothes, and thousands of people were having funerals together!"
"This huge funeral is about to be buried by the people who were beaten to death in the court, as well as the righteous men who were killed by the four major families and a group of playboys in Linchuan County!"
"Mr. Lin and the lower officials followed the funeral team and witnessed the entire funeral process. Countless people cried and complained about the crimes of the four major families... The letters written by Master Lin were exactly what countless people said in their own words, and there was no falsehood!"
"After the funeral, the people in the city never dispersed. They spontaneously arrived at the Zhengyang County prison and sat down quietly."
The people sit quietly! At this moment, Li Wen suddenly asked: "Mr. Zhao, why are the people's actions?"
A deep sigh flashed across Zhao Qing's face and said, "In order to protect Li Fan, they said that before the imperial edict was issued, they would not leave the prison. Anyone who wants to hurt Li Fan must step over their bodies!"
Hearing this, all the officials were even more shocked.
Who can make the people sacrifice themselves and love them so much?
"Mr. Zhao, according to you, is Li Fan in prison?"
At this time, Duan Congrong suddenly spoke.
Zhao Qing nodded and said, "The Zhao Mansion sent black-armored cavalry to avoid the disaster of war in Zhengyang County, which would incite civil unrest. Li Fan and Linchuan County Magistrate Tai Shi Jian were both arrested and waiting for the court's judgment!"
Hearing this, everyone in the court changed their qualities for a moment! This was like a thunderclap! This thunderclap directly dispersed the attacks of all officials on Zhao Nantang just now! Zhao Nantang favored Li Fan?
Tolerate Li Fan?
