Not only did Lin Ye not worry about it, he also sent someone to fetch Zinai and the eldest princess Xie Yunxi.
When he came to Niao County, Lin Ye still thought that he would bring Zinai and the others over for a few days if he had the chance.
Coming at this time is the season when the scenery is the most beautiful, and coming at this time, of course they are here to see Lin Ye, it is business, they must not come for sightseeing.
Cui Fanye's people got the news and said they saw the eldest princess and her party leaving Yunzhou.
But Cui Fanye didn't ask anyone to take action in the middle, but asked him not to even stare.
It's not that he doesn't think there's a chance, but that it's unnecessary.
Under the current environment in Yunzhou, even if he succeeded in arresting or killing those three women, it would not be of any help to him in killing Lin Ye.
It will only arouse Lin Ye's anger, and then use all his strength to find him.
Cui Fanye has never been an impulsive person. Revenge is something he must do, but it is not something that must cost his own life.
So the only thing he has to do now is to wait and see.
He was even looking forward to it because he knew what would happen next.
Based on his understanding of the emperor, if he didn't take advantage of Lin Ye's attack to make a big fuss, he wouldn't be a ruthless emperor.
When something happened to his Cui family in Geling, none of the major families came forward to help.
Not to mention helping, no one dared to persuade the emperor.
Those people even used the fact that the Cui family was confiscated and exterminated as a bargaining chip to make a compromise with the emperor.
Therefore, if you have to say who Cui Fanye hates, his hatred for those so-called allies far exceeds his hatred for the emperor and Lin Ye.
Lin Ye knew what the emperor wanted to do, so he used the topic to his advantage.
The emperor took over the topic, and the result was naturally even more terrifying.
Cui Fanye had already had a premonition that someone would be unlucky. Of course he was happy to see such a scene.
As for revenge...
If Lin Ye and the emperor kill more of Cui Fanye's former allies, Cui Fanye will feel happier than if he took revenge.
So after Cui Fanye learned about what happened in Niao County, he immediately issued an order that all his people in Yunzhou were not allowed to act rashly.
Not only should they stop provoking Lin Ye, but they should also stay far away from Niao County, even further away from Yunzhou.
After the emperor used this case to clean up a group of people, it was not too late for Cui Fanye to plan revenge.
When it comes to using resourcefulness and calmness of character, even ten Song Shisan are no match for Cui Fanye.
Even if someone like Song Shisan is given a chance to be reborn, he will still be tortured to pieces by Cui Fanye when he faces Cui Fanye again.
Over in Niao County, Lin Ye was not in a hurry.
How far this case will go depends on what Xumi Pianruo does.
He, Zinai, his aunt Xie Yunxi and others have visited Yujing Lake in Niao County in the past few days.
When they returned to the county seat, Lin Ye asked Zinai and the others to go back and rest first, while he went to the county government office again.
Although he didn't take too much part in this case because he didn't think it was troublesome, it seemed too much to not care about anything.
When he arrived at the gate of the county government office, he saw the law guards of Dali Temple loading boxes of things into the truck.
Lin Ye asked what was going on, and the law guards quickly replied, saying that Master Xumi had told them to send all the files and evidence to Geling.
Lin Ye understood as soon as he heard it. When it came to causing trouble, Xumi Pianruo was the one who knew how to do it.
Xumi Pianruo has been here for a while. If the case is settled within Yunzhou Prefecture, no matter how big the case is and no matter how extensive the involvement, the civil and military officials of the DPRK and China will question it.
Therefore, Xumi Pianruo did not intend to settle the case in Yunzhou at all, but sent all the evidence to Geling.
Didn't His Majesty ask Ning Weimo to check it out in Geling? Then give all these things to Ning Weimo and ask the Prime Minister to show them to everyone in the court.
Now there are at least ten court officials who can be involved.
As for how many to deal with and how to deal with them, it all depends on His Majesty's mood.
People who don't understand this case or how to handle it may not understand how a small county far away from Geling could involve so many court officials?
Let’s talk about what is directly related to this case first.
None of the county officials in Niaoxian County can escape, especially Fu Zhi, who just reported merit to the county magistrate Song Lou and also reported merit to the fish market owner Li Changzai.
How could the governor not confess something useful under the pressure of Xumi Pianruo?
Over the years, how many benefits have been received from Song Lou, and how many benefits have been obtained directly from Li Changzai.
These benefits, how much he paid to higher-level officials, who are they.
Besides, if it is not directly related to this case, the implications are even wider.
Lin Ye asked people from all over the country to redress their grievances. No matter whether they were from Niao County or not, or whether they were related to Song Lou, they could come to redress their grievances.
As a result, the entire Yunzhou officialdom was on pins and needles.
As long as you want to investigate, as long as you want to find out, as many people as possible can be found out and as many people can be implicated.
After Lin Ye entered the county government office, he saw Xumi Pianruo sitting on the steps smoking a pipe.
This Dali Temple Shaoqing must be really exhausted. He has been checking almost day and night these days, so there is all kinds of evidence that there are more than a dozen large trucks.
Seeing Lin Ye, Xumi Pianruo smiled bitterly, stood up and wanted to salute, but Lin Ye waved his hand to stop him.
"Thin."
Lin Ye smiled.
Xumi Pianruo said: "When I left Geling, I was still thinking that it would be nice to take advantage of the opportunity to come back to Yunzhou for fun. I regret it now. I was too naive at the time."
Lin Ye said: "Don't be afraid, the case is almost settled, I will submit a memorial to you to ask for credit."
Xumi Pianruo: "Thank you, Lord Protector. Although I don't really mean what I said from the bottom of my heart, I still have to say it on occasion."
This sentence is enough to show how tired and resentful he was during his time in Niao County.
Lin Ye smiled and said: "This matter fell on you. Who asked you to come? If you have grievances, you know who you should scold. It's not me anyway. Every wrong has its owner..."
Xumi Pianruo said: "Leaving Geling, Lord Protector really dares to be rebellious."
Lin Ye said: "Is the evidence on those carts outside enough? If you feel the weight is a little lacking, I can help you add more."
Xumi Pianruo thought Lin Ye had discovered something again, and quickly asked: "Does the Protector have any more powerful evidence?"
Lin Ye lowered his voice and said: "You personally escort the evidence back to Geling. I will send someone to intercept you halfway and beat you half to death. Doesn't this weight suddenly become heavy?"
Xumi Pianruo: "..."
Lin Ye said: "You don't have to look at me with that look. I learned this trick from you when we were in Geling."
Xumi Pianruo: "..."
He let out a long sigh: "I thought that getting to know Lord Protector was a story about meeting him too late. I never expected that getting to know Lord Protector was an accident of encountering a bad person."
Lin Ye: "Each other."
He lowered his voice and asked, "Who is the official most implicated?"
Xumi Pianruo: "I can't tell."
Lin Ye rolled his eyes at him.
Xumi Pianruo said: "However, when I was in Geling, I told Your Majesty that the investigation should start from the Ministry of Personnel. If the evidence is sent back this time, the Ministry of Personnel may be shaken up."
Lin Ye understood immediately that Xumi Pianruo was simply a worm in the emperor's belly.
Xumi Pianruo could see clearly what the emperor wanted to do.
Going through the official department thoroughly would be equivalent to solving the biggest problem for Dayu.
If Dayu is a giant, the local government offices are the giant's organs, and the official department is the heart.
The official department has been cleaned up. No matter who wants to rely on power or bribery to install officials at will, it is just nonsense.
Your Majesty must first replace the people in the staff with people he trusts. This is also paving the way for the new king to succeed to the throne in the future.
Lin Ye asked: "Has His Majesty ever praised you?"
Xumi Pianruo said: "Your Majesty did praise me, and the words he used were very accurate."
Lin Ye asked: "Can you please tell me how His Majesty praised you?"
Xumi Pianruo said: "Your Majesty said that if I didn't talk so much nonsense, I would really be an incredible talent."
Lin Ye thought for a while and understood the meaning of the word "accurate".
"What are your plans next?"
Lin Ye asked again.
Xumi Pianruo said: "If the Protector kills me halfway, or kills half of my work, it probably won't work."
He said: "Ten days ago, I sent someone to Geling to deliver a memorial and asked your Majesty to allow me to stay in Yunzhou for one year."
Lin Ye narrowed his eyes.
If Xumi Pianruo stays in Yunzhou for a year, then this matter is not ordinary, it is much bigger than what Lin Ye wants to do.
His Majesty will most likely agree to Xumi Pianruo's request, and will also bring this matter up in public in the court.
One year...
What Xumi Pianruo meant was that he would set up a yamen in Yunzhou to accept appeals from people all over Yunzhou.
At this moment, he looked at Lin Ye as if he was deep in thought, so he asked: "What is the Lord Protector thinking about?"
Lin Ye said: "I'm thinking, if you spend this year... the money you need to spend on food and supplies will be allocated by His Majesty or by me."
Xumi Pianruo clasped his fists: "Farewell, I will go back to Geling now."
Lin Ye smiled.
"Actually, what I'm thinking is that if we spread the word now, all the people who go to Geling to redress their grievances will definitely come in more numbers as long as the case is true and the court will pay for their travel expenses."
Xumi Pianruo: "Is Yunzhou so poor?"
Lin Ye said: "I work for His Majesty and Your Majesty is happy, so why should Yunzhou pay for it?"
Xumi Pianruo: "Master Protector, you have revealed your betrayal."
Lin Ye chuckled.
He turned around and walked out. Xumi Pianruo asked, "Is the Protector leaving in a hurry?"
Lin Ye said: "Write a memorial and praise you well."
Xumi Pianruo said: "If His Majesty agrees to allocate funds, you can ask for more. I want to eat something good."
Lin Ye smiled and nodded.
While walking, Lin Ye saw Monk Hua appearing outside the county government office.
Monk Hua and the others did not come with Lin Ye, but Lin Ye asked them to train the team well in Yunzhou.
At this time, Monk Hua suddenly came, which meant that something urgent must have happened.
"Master of the Gate."
Monk Hua hurried over after seeing Lin Ye. Seeing that no one was close to him, he lowered his voice and spoke.
"The secret line left in Dongbo reported something..."
He looked at Lin Ye: "Dongbo King Yu Yu Chengchang secretly met with Lou Fan's special envoy a while ago."
Lin Ye raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
Yu Yu Chenghao is not a stupid person, how could he do such a stupid thing?
This matter is definitely not that simple. It is very likely that Dongbo's situation is already extremely bad.
The next breath, Lin Ye thought of something, and his expression immediately became solemn.
If the situation in Dongbo is really bad to a certain extent, there is no reason why Yu Yucheng has not written a memorial and submitted it to the emperor.
However, not long after Lin Ye came back from Geling, he never heard the emperor mention anything about Dongbo.
The Emperor knew that Lin Ye knew Dongbo, so if something big happened to Dongbo, the Emperor would definitely ask Lin Ye, the Protector of the Three Norths, to handle it.
The emperor didn't say anything, which means the emperor didn't receive the memorial.
It’s impossible not to write about Yu Yucheng hastily...
Then there is only one possibility left, the person between Yu Yucheng hastily and the emperor has deducted the memorial.
Someone deliberately did not let the emperor know about Dongbo's situation, making Yu Yucheng hastily think that the emperor was going to punish Dongbo more severely.
At this time in Dongbo...
A person's name appeared in Lin Ye's mind...the original frontier general Hong Wuding.
This man led the army to fight against Lou Fan in Dongbo. After so many things happened, this man was able to stay out of it.
Neither General Yun Guhong, who was tricked by Tuoba Lie, nor Tuoba Lie's rebellion affected Hong Wuding.
This person is obviously in the middle of everything, but yet he is ignored by everyone.
After the Dongbo war ended, Hong Wuding was commended by the emperor, made a marquis, and ordered to lead his army to garrison Dongbo Caoshu City.
If Yuyu Chengchang wanted to give a memorial to the emperor, he would not dare to bypass Hongwu Ding, because Hongwu Ding was now in Dongbo, just like the Supreme Emperor.
Thinking of this, Lin Ye's mood became a little gloomy.
One case is not over yet, and it seems that a bigger case is coming soon.
