Wang Chen looked at how Wang Lin had turned the situation around with just a few words, and felt a burst of curse in his heart.
This kid Wang Lin is really sharp-tongued.
Even the curved ones can be said to be straight.
The matters that were originally going to be reviewed by the three departments were frightened to their knees by just a few words from him.
but……
This is true! How could his own imperial brother be so weak!
He did not embarrass himself as a royal brother.
"Your Majesty! This person must be severely punished!"
Wang Lin didn't mention him by name, but that finger pointed at Liu Ming who was kneeling on the ground.
"Liu Ming! You ignore the facts! I will fine you half a year's salary! Do you know your guilt?"
Wang Chen was shocked by Wang Lin's words and came back to his senses. He coughed dryly, pointed at the kneeling Liu Ming, His Highness Jinluan, and said in a deep voice.
"Thank you for your kindness! I am guilty!"
Liu Ming breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Wang Chen's words.
For an official of his level, a half-year salary penalty is tantamount to letting him off the hook.
They have many disciples under their sect.
Not to mention it was a fine of half a year.
It doesn’t matter if it’s ten years.
The filial piety of these disciples and disciples will be enough for them to eat and drink for several lifetimes.
Wang Lin frowned after hearing Wang Chen's words, but still did not refute.
This is the Jinluan Palace after all.
Not the imperial study room.
This little bit of face should still be saved for him.
"Okay! Are there any other problems? If not, let's dismiss the court!"
Wang Chen looked at everyone and said in a deep voice.
"Yes, long live!"
"Long live! Wei Chen resigns!"
"..."
Upon hearing this, everyone respectfully accepted the order and then hurriedly retreated.
Especially Liu Ming's disciples and those who supported him were even more worried.
After hearing Wang Chen's request to withdraw from the court, everyone even seemed to be fleeing and left.
The same is true for Liu Ming.
After he stood up with difficulty, he hurriedly retreated.
"Prince Lin, stay."
When Wang Lin was about to leave, Wang Chen waved to him and asked him to stay.
He was a little confused, but stayed.
"Your Majesty, what's the matter?"
Wang Lin and Wang Chen, who were never polite, asked curiously when they saw Wang Chen coming down.
"Royal brother! How about my punishment just now?"
Wang Chen looked at Wang Lin and asked in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, it's too light. The punishment should be severe! Otherwise, he would think that we are afraid of him and don't dare to do anything to him! Especially his disciples! They will definitely become more aggressive, thinking that we don't dare to do anything to him!"
Wang Lin looked at Wang Chen, shook his head and sighed: "Do you think he is an upright official? He can get half a year's salary in one day!"
Wang Lin's words made Wang Chen suddenly wake up.
He originally wanted to give Liu Ming a step down.
He never dreamed that there were so many problems.
"Royal brother, how should we deal with this? It's hard to take back what I have said!" Wang Chen looked embarrassed and asked hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Liu Ming is a man who will retaliate for his anger. As soon as the time comes, Your Majesty will look at my younger brother's eyes to remind him! We will also give him an inside-out response!"
Wang Lin looked at Wang Chen who looked worried, smiled and said.
"Okay! Imperial brother, then I'm entirely dependent on you!"
Wang Chen looked at Wang Lin and smiled reassuringly at him.
Wang Chen has mysterious confidence in his imperial brother.
This is a family relationship where blood is thicker than water.
In response, Wang Lin smiled and assured Wang Chen: "Your Majesty, don't worry, my brother will definitely let him know the majesty of our royal family and will never tolerate provocation!"
…
Beijing.
Inside Tao Guogong's mansion.
Chamber.
On the main seat, Tao Guogong held the tea cup, took a sip, looked down, Liu Ming was furious, and said helplessly: "Master Liu, don't get angry, the days are still long, and we have many ways to deal with this kid Wang Lin. "
"Huh, today is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Why are you speaking for him instead of standing on my side!"
Liu Ming was already angry. After hearing what Tao Guogong said, he became even more angry. He pointed at Tao Guogong and asked.
"Master Liu, my Senior Brother Liu! Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know! He killed my nephew this time, and I have an sworn hatred for him!"
Tao Guogong looked at Liu Ming with a look of sadness and anger.
"I just knew that, so I asked you to help me speak in the court. Look at what you just said! They were all words to praise him!"
Liu Ming slapped the armrest of the chair, pointed at Tao Guogong and scolded: "Are you intimidated by that kid?"
"Yes, I was indeed threatened by him! My nephew's account books, and those related to me, were all found by him, and he even made a special trip to send them to my house..."
"There is another matter! Didn't Tao Tianming destroy the body and eliminate any traces?"
When Liu Ming heard Tao Guogong's words, he suddenly looked stunned and asked hurriedly.
"No, this idiot kept it and didn't destroy it for some reason! The matter has come to this, and I can't do anything about it."
Tao Guogong shook his head helplessly, then looked at Liu Ming, and continued: "Brother Liu, so I can't help you!"
"Okay, okay! Since Tao Guogong is in trouble, I won't embarrass you!"
Liu Ming sighed helplessly, then stood up and raised his hands in greeting: "It's getting late, I'll take my leave!"
"Brother Liu, walk slowly!"
Seeing that Liu Ming was leaving, Tao Guogong hurriedly got up to see him off.
He sent Liu Ming out of the yard before returning.
"grandfather!"
At this moment, Tao Shihan came from the veranda not far away and looked at Tao Guogong.
"Shihan!"
When Tao Guogong saw his granddaughter, he pretended to smile and hurriedly walked up.
"Grandpa, I see that you are unhappy, and Mr. Liu also left in anger. Why is that!"
Tao Shihan looked at Tao Guogong and couldn't help but ask.
"Shihan! This is all because of Prince Lin's affairs!"
After hearing Tao Shihan's words, Tao Guogong couldn't help but sigh, gritted his teeth and said, "This Prince Lin is really the nemesis of my Tao family!"
"Grandpa, what happened to make you so embarrassed!"
Tao Shihan refused to give up and asked for details. She supported Tao Guogong and wanted to ask clearly.
"In the early morning, Mr. Liu and his disciples impeached Prince Lin together. In the end, they thought that you did not have enough evidence to let him steal the chicken but lose the rice. Grandpa was threatened by Prince Lin and could not speak for him, so he came to the house. The boss asked grandpa why, and after grandpa told him the specific reason...he had no choice but to leave in anger."
Tao Guogong, told Tao Shihan everything about today's events.
Tao Shihan frowned after listening to Tao Guogong's words.
After thinking for a while, she looked at Tao Guogong with a smile and said mysteriously: "Grandpa, do you want to deal with this bastard?"
"I think about it, of course I do. Grandpa is thinking about it in his dreams now!"
Tao Guogong heard this and said excitedly.
