Lin Ye sat there drinking tea and looked at Xumi Pianruo's frowning face.
He really liked to see Xumi Pianruo's frowning face. The guy's brows were knitted together, like a chrysanthemum or a small daisy.
Although Lin Fangchu confessed many things, these things were all his one-sided words.
He could not provide any evidence that he arranged for people to join the Cowardly Army. He arranged for these people, but none of them could be considered as his true acquaintance.
How could the original names, ages, and origins of these people be told to such a low-status person like him?
He was only responsible for rearranging the identities of these people. He didn't know their original identities at all.
Therefore, even if he has a good memory, he can still remember the first few fake names.
But, it doesn't mean much.
Lin Fangchu couldn't tell which family these people came from. He could only tell those people he arranged. So the only thing that can be proved by what he said now is that Lin Mufu was the mastermind and he was an accomplice.
Even if there is still a Yu Song in Lin Ye's hands, it will not be of much use.
Yu Song can only prove that he arranged the people himself, and most of the autographed letters from Lin Mufu in his hand are fake.
Even if it is true that this letter was written by Lin Mufu, Yu Song can't bite anyone else but Lin Mufu.
Lin Mufu is still dead...
Once Yu Chan shows up now and talks about this matter in front of His Majesty, there will only be one fate for Yu Chan.
All civil and military officials in the dynasty would say that since the mastermind is Lin Mufu, then Lin Mufu should be investigated. If Lin Mufu is dead, then his family should be investigated and his nine clans should be held accountable.
This case has reached a deadlock again, no, it's a cliff.
Lin Ye looked at Xumi Pianruo's uncomfortable look and asked him, "Aren't you good at framing people?"
Xumi Pianruo said: "There must be evidence and timing to frame the frame. There is nothing, just empty words to frame the frame, and I am betrayed by an army. What good end can I expect? Your Majesty, will you say that this matter is your Majesty's fault?" The old man arranged it himself, don’t you blame Xumi Pianruo?”
He curled his lips and said, "When the time comes and the ministers are very angry, it would be strange if Your Majesty doesn't use me to calm down the ministers' anger."
He would not dare to say this in front of the emperor.
The members of the Yu family did not play a big role, and the testimony given by Lin Fang was just a useless testimony.
Xumi Pianruo felt that his head was big.
Even if according to what Lin Ye said, it was really framed, who framed it?
Cui Fuye was quite active a while ago, framed by the Cui family?
Even if the frame-up is successful, will His Majesty be satisfied with the Cui family?
"I'll ask again."
Xumi Pianruo stood up and strode outside.
Lin Ye got up after him, and he also wanted to hear what else Lin Fangchu had to say.
A smart person will probably never use all his chips in one go.
The bargaining chip Lin Fang offered was what he knew. If he said it all in one breath, his value would be gone.
Not long after, in an interrogation room in Dali Temple.
Xumi Pianruo sat down and glanced at Lin Fangchu: "I want to know if you have any substantial evidence to prove that all the major families arranged for people to join the Cowardly Army."
Lin Fangchu shook his head: "No, there is only one account, and I gave it to Prime Minister Lin."
Xumi Pianruo said: "I have carefully searched Lin Mu's house several times, but I didn't find the account books you mentioned."
Lin Fang said: "The account books must be there. If they are not in the hands of Prime Minister Lin, they were forced to hand them over by those people."
Xumi Pianruo didn’t believe it.
If there really is such a booklet, this is the capital of Lin Mu Mansion to blackmail the major families. Will Lin Mu Mansion hand it over? Even if you pay it, don’t you keep a share for yourself?
Until his death, Lin Mufu had no intention of taking out this account book, or even revealing it at all.
Lin Ye suddenly asked: "Where have the family members of Lin Mu Mansion gone?" Lin Fang looked at Lin Ye and replied: "I don't know. I only know that Mr. Lin arranged for his family to live there about a year ago. I left Geling, but Prime Minister Lin didn’t tell me to do this, and I don’t know who did it.”
Xumi Pianruo said: "With so many people leaving the city, it's impossible not to leave any traces."
He turned around and ordered: "Go and investigate this matter."
His men responded immediately.
Lin Ye walked up to Lin Fangchu and looked at the face carefully.
He asked: "The fact that you hid last night probably wasn't your own, and your plan to tell everything about it probably wasn't your own plan either."
Lin Fang said: "I heard that Lin Xiang was killed, so I want to avenge Lin Xiang. Lin Xiang treated me with kindness and kindness. I want to do something to repay this kindness. Why can't it be my own plan."
Lin Ye said: "What if I told you that the people who killed Lin Mufu were not who you thought they were?"
Lin Fangchu's expression changed, and Xumi Pianruo was startled.
Lin Ye said in a very calm tone: "The murder of Lin Mu Mansion was not arranged by those people you thought, but by the person who hid you. Have you ever thought about this?"
Lin Fangchu's eyes became erratic.
Lin Ye continued: "He first sent people to kill Lin Mufu, and then found you and used you as a witness to take revenge on the major families..."
He leaned over and looked into Lin Fangchu's eyes and said: "Although you are not an official, you should know that there is not only one faction in the court. If the person hiding you and the person who killed Lin Mufu are the same person, his identity is yours." And it’s clear... Then you haven’t thought that he is deliberately using you to fight against another faction?”
Xumi Pianruo was shocked. He didn't expect that General Lin, who had always been a man of few words, would talk more and speak more directly to people's hearts than he did.
What Xumi Pianruo has always been proud of is his speaking skills.
To persuade, deceive, or use people with words, you must first have a very good brain.
Xumi Pianruo felt that his brain was obviously not as useful as General Lin's.
Lin Ye straightened up and said, "You know very well that the person who arranged for you to hide is definitely not from the same faction as Lin Mufu."
Lin Fangchu swallowed subconsciously.
This action was clearly seen by Xumi Pianruo, and he immediately knew that Lin Fangchu had been hurt by Lin Ye's words.
Lin Ye continued: "I'm not going to guess who this person is. I'm going to guess what he promised you."
He walked around the torture chamber and continued talking.
"This man will tell you that as long as you tell the people in Dali Temple everything you know, he can save your life."
"Lin Fangchu, why do you believe it? In such a big case, who else besides His Majesty can spare you from death?"
Lin Fangchu suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Ye: "He is your Majesty's man!"
Lin Ye smiled, and Xumi Pianruo also laughed.
Xumi Pianruo said: "If he didn't say that he was His Majesty's man, he probably wouldn't be able to deceive you."
Lin Ye said: "Is this person's surname Shi?"
Lin Fangchu's face turned pale instantly. When he turned to look at Lin Ye, he couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes.
Xumi Pianruo was also shocked. It could be seen from Lin Fang's reaction that Lin Ye had guessed correctly.
Lin Ye said: "You shouldn't know what situation Shi Jintang is in now. Why can you believe his words?"
Lin Fangchu swallowed again.
Lin Ye walked aside and handed a glass of water to Lin Fangchu: "You should know which sentence I just said is the most useful... Except for Your Majesty, no one can forgive your sins, except the one who is in front of you now. Man, no one can tell His Majesty that your sins are serious but the merits outweigh the demerits.”
Lin Fang came out to take the water but did not drink it. His hands were obviously shaking.
Xumi Pianruo said: "I am the official who was ordered to investigate this case. You don't believe me, but you believe a hidden criminal?"
Lin Fangchu looked at Xumi Pianruo and said: "He showed it to me. He saw a waist tag. He said it was given to him by His Majesty and he was an Ouchi guard. He wanted to secretly assist you in investigating the case, but I can’t let you know his identity, so I must tell you that I can’t tell him..."
Xumi Pianruo: "You are so stupid. Why did the Lin Mu Mansion take a fancy to you and let you take charge of Jun Buwei?"
He glared at Lin Fangchu and said, "I have never heard that Ouchi guards are responsible for investigating such cases."
Lin Fangchu drank the water subconsciously, just sipped it, and quickly looked at Xumi Pianruo: "Master Xumi, does he really want to use me?"
Xumi Pianruo said: "Probably not him. If you are so stupid, if he takes advantage of you, it might actually cause trouble."
He asked: "Tell me directly, whether the person who hid you and asked you to confess is Shi Jintang."
"yes......"
Lin Fangchu responded.
Xumi Pianruo asked again: "Since he arranged for you to hide, and also arranged for you to deliberately come back to Jun Buwei to wait for me, then there must be some follow-up arrangements."
Lin Fang said: "Yes...he said he would get me off the hook as soon as possible and let me wait for the news in Dali Temple with peace of mind."
Xumi Pianruo: "There's more."
Lin Fang said: "He also said that if nothing happens, as long as I am taken away by Dali Temple, some people will be unable to sit still."
"He said that he would be watching from the outside. Whichever house can't sit still first, Your Majesty will attack first."
Xumi Pianruo looked at Lin Ye.
Lin Ye said: "Let's do this for now and let him rest."
Xumi Pianruo didn't understand Lin Ye's intention. It was clear that Lin Fang's defense line had been penetrated. Now was the time to strike while the iron was hot. Why did Lin Ye leave?
But he also knew that Lin Ye must have deep intentions, so he did not object. He ordered people to guard Lin Fangchu, and he followed Lin Ye out.
Outside the door, Xumi Pianruo took off the pipe hanging from his belt, stuffed the tobacco and asked, "Did the general suddenly end the interrogation because he thought of something more important?"
Lin Ye said: "You only gave me half of the money, and now you want me to think of everything for you?"
Xumi Pianruo said: "If this case cannot be solved, let alone the general's half of the money, I will have to hand back my half."
Lin Ye: "An Xin, even if you hand it over, I won't hand it over. Your Majesty wants your half, and if you ask me for it again, I won't admit it."
Xumi Pianruo: "..."
He asked: "General, be happy, what else do you want?"
Lin Ye said: "My people will help you investigate the case, but they don't actually have much authority in Geling City. You give my people the badge of Dali Temple, and everyone will have one."
Xumi Pianruo: "No problem, I will send someone to distribute them soon."
Lin Ye added: "I don't know if you have heard that my sister Zinai is more expensive to practice."
Xumi Pianruo grinned.
It’s uncomfortable, it’s really uncomfortable.
He gritted his teeth and said, "If the case is solved, Dali Temple will seize many wealthy families. By then..."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Ye raised his hand to stop him from continuing.
Lin Ye said: "I don't need these."
Xumi Pianruo: "This...what does the general mean?"
Lin Ye said: "I think you are very pleasing to the eye. If I help you solve the case, then you will recommend yourself in front of His Majesty. How about you go to Yunzhou to be the governor?"
Xumi Pianruo's eyes were wide open, very, very big.
Lin Ye said: "I won't be in Geling for long, and the days of cheating you will only get shorter and shorter. Why don't you go to Yunzhou, and the two of us will stay together forever."
If Zinai heard this, she would definitely get goosebumps all over her body. She would not believe it to her death that her brother could say such a thing.
Xumi Pianruo bit it into pieces and stamped her foot: "Okay!"
Lin Ye smiled and walked away with his hands behind his back. As he walked, he said: "Then you give the order. We must mobilize all the people we can mobilize tonight to watch Lin Fang come out."
