"What do you think?"
After Liu Baichuan left, Lin Bai looked at the list in his hand and asked casually.
Wu Qiaojun smiled, "Husband, don't you know very well?"
Lin Bai also smiled. He naturally knew very well that the eldest princess had been in charge of Feilongwei for so many years and the commercial department was such a big piece of fat. How could she give up.
The Supervision Bureau is in Feilongwei's hands, which means it is in her hands.
There was probably a reason why Xiaowu was transferred.
Although Xiaowu is the commander of Feilongwei Yinlong and is under the control of the other party, he has too many interactions with him and is most likely uneasy, so he is transferred away and lets the commander of Iron Hand take charge.
Lin Bai's thinking was not unfounded.
Although the Hexi party ended with him and Lao Zhu breaking up, the shadow of the eldest princess was indispensable in it, and Guo Wankai was the other party's person.
With this woman hiding so deeply, it is impossible to leave the Commercial Department alone.
Lin Bai really didn't want to engage in so many tricks, but there was no way. These princes and princesses may have grown up in such an environment since they were young, and they like to play these intrigues.
He was also helpless.
However, since the list has been sent, it is still necessary to check what should be checked. He immediately looked at Yan Gang and said: "Give Zhu Tai the list! Let him check it."
After thinking for a while, he added: "Also, is there any news about those who escaped before? Have their identities been verified?"
Yan Gang quickly said: "Go back to my uncle, I have already verified it. The leader is called Niu Dali..."
Lin Bai looked at the list and saw this name on it, and it was ranked first. It seemed that this was the leader of those people, the burly man in rough clothes from before.
Yan Gang continued: "There was news from the dock just now. After Niu Dali and his party left by boat, they left with another group of people. There was no sign of separation for the time being."
Two groups were among those who fled.
One group was arranged by Zhang Weimin and led by Niu Dali to frame the talented man, and the other group was naturally the Red Lotus Sect.
Lin Bai nodded, "As long as we don't separate."
Yan Gang said: "Don't worry, uncle, they have committed heinous crimes. It is a huge opportunity for them to sneak into the Red Lotus Sect. As long as they are not crazy, they will definitely spare no effort."
"Besides, in this situation, they have nowhere to go. Only my uncle can help them."
Lin Bai smiled and said, "I hope so!"
In fact, he had no interest in the Red Lotus Sect, but if he had the opportunity, he would let a few people try it. Maybe they could find out Liu Qingqing's whereabouts by infiltrating the Red Lotus Sect.
No matter what, he already recognized Liu Qingqing as his cousin, and when the Lin family was in trouble, this girl spared no effort.
There has been no news for so long. If the other party has any difficulties, the talented man doesn't mind lending a helping hand, so I'll give it a try.
"Good news, good news. His Highness has just announced that the wages owed to the workers will be paid out after verification within three days, and the Ezhou New City will restart construction."
"The Third Highness is the money and merchants brought by the Fourth Highness from the southwest."
"That's right, I just saw the Seventh Lady of the Southwest Palace leading countless businessmen to the new city, saying that the Southwest Palace will invest heavily in Ezhou, and many industries in the southwest will be transferred there."
"Really? Then can we buy Southwest goods at low prices in the future?"
"Then for sure, these products will be produced in Ezhou in the future!"
"..."
As the news spread, the whole Ezhou was boiling, and countless workers cheered.
Nothing is more exciting than real benefits. It is conceivable that the wages that the court has owed for so long are finally being paid.
Not only that, the new city will continue to be built, and the large number of businessmen coming from the southwest is completely beyond imagination.
Everyone seemed to be looking forward to it.
"The latest news is that His Highness the Third Highness has arrested many people. It is said that they are all officials from Xincheng who embezzled workers' wages, as well as from the prefect's Yamen."
"Great! It's very satisfying. These corrupt officials deserve to be killed. Your Highness has finally done a good deed."
"..."
Just when Ezhou was in full swing, the news quickly spread to Kyoto.
In the imperial study room, Zhu Tianzheng was sitting in front of the imperial desk, his face ashen.
Below, Zhu Kun gritted his teeth, "Father, Lin Qingfeng is so audacious. He openly executed a third-rank official of the imperial court and falsely passed on imperial edicts. Such behavior completely ignores the imperial court. I believe that he must be severely punished."
"I second my opinion. Lin Qingfeng ignored the laws of the court and blatantly killed a third-rank official. He treated the law of the country as child's play and must be severely punished."
"That's right! He also forcibly imposed a sudden blockade by the court, which is simply treasonous."
"..."
Echoes came one after another.
Those who can be summoned into the imperial study are all the core of power in Li Dynasty, and they have some understanding of the identity of the great scholar.
And the behavior of the great scholar was indeed a bit excessive. Let’s not talk about rebellion, but he would definitely not be able to escape if he despised the imperial power.
How could Zhu Tianzheng not be angry? He hated talented people to the core. At this moment, sparks seemed to be erupting from his pupils, and his teeth were chattering faintly.
Zhu Kun added: "Not only that, the workers in Ezhou are causing trouble and rebelling in the name of Lin Qingfeng. Lin Qingfeng's ambition is obvious."
"And the third child actually got together with Lin Qingfeng. He knew that his father actually..."
Zhu Tianzheng's face became increasingly ugly.
The corners of his eyes were beating wildly, and his body was shaking with anger, but he still tried his best to suppress it.
Zhu Kun saw no movement and continued: "Father, please punish Lin Qingfeng severely."
"Your Majesty, please punish Lin Qingfeng severely."
Many ministers agreed.
Of course, there were also those who remained silent. Sun Yanqing, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, kept his head down, as if everything had nothing to do with him. He Donglai, the Minister of the Ministry of War, also did not speak.
Qin Zhengyang also frowned slightly, looking a little unsure.
Zhu Tianzheng looked at him with a gloomy face, cold eyes, and asked in a hoarse voice: "What do Qin Aiqing think?"
Qin Zhengyang's face froze, and he didn't know how to answer.
At this moment, a eunuch came in and said, "Your Majesty, Master Fan has arrived."
Zhu Tianzheng said: "Xuan!"
Soon, Fan Renli walked in and quickly saluted: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being late!"
Then he added: "But the reason why I came late is because I received an urgent report from His Highness the Third Highness, which delayed me for a moment."
"Ah!"
When Zhu Kun heard this, he immediately sneered and said: "Master Fan, the third child will not say that he was deceived by Lin Qingfeng, right? How old is he? Doesn't he know who Lin Qingfeng is?"
"Even if he doesn't know it clearly, Master Fan should also know it, right?"
"Lao San and Lin Qingfeng appeared at the dock together and openly killed a third-rank official of the imperial court. They ignored the imperial court's laws. Mr. Fan can't be washed away, right?"
Fan Renli said respectfully: "The Second Highness has misunderstood. I have no intention of defending the Third Highness, and the Third Highness does not need it, because the Third Highness has not been deceived. Everything was done by the Third Highness on his own initiative."
