Doing nothing, just waiting for news from Ge Ling, does not seem like Lin Ye at all.
There are few people around him who can understand what he does.
At the very least, Monk Hua and the others have been worried all day, worrying that the changes in Geling will soon affect Yunzhou.
But Lord Protector, he really didn't seem to care at all.
He said he would take them out hunting the next day, but he actually took them out of the city to play, and it wasn't just for a whole day.
Lin Ye said that since he came out, he might as well play for a few more days. If he wanted to hunt, of course it would be better to go to the mountains.
He seems to have really given up everything and become a lazy man with a fate of life and death.
In fact, he was still giving his opponent a chance, but Wang Fenglin didn't want to suffer any more losses.
In this way, Lin Ye and the others played outside Yunzhou for ten full days before going back. At this time, even Shi Jintang had already rushed back to Yunzhou City.
Shi Jintang heard that Lord Protector was out of the city to do business, and thought Lin Ye was going to think of countermeasures.
Unexpectedly, Lin Ye's urgent business out of the city was to go sightseeing.
So when Shi Jintang saw Lin Ye's smiling face with a full load, he became angry.
After he learned the news, he arranged for people to come back as soon as possible so that Lin Ye could make plans and come up with countermeasures.
He was much more attentive than Lin Ye. The investigation of the case had almost come to an end, so he hurried back.
As soon as Lin Ye saw Shi Jintang glaring at him, he knew how resentful Shi Jintang was.
"You just stared at me when you came back. Are you tired again?"
Lin Ye asked.
When Shi Jintang heard this, he became even more angry.
"Not to mention anything else, the evidence I have now is enough to bring Mr. Ning down."
Shi Jintang looked into Lin Ye's eyes and spoke, as if he wanted to see directly into Lin Ye's soul.
"This includes evidence against the Protector-sama. If Your Majesty wants to investigate further, he can be sent to prison."
Lin Ye asked: "Is it true?"
Shi Jintang said: "Master Ning can say that the evidence is conclusive. After all, some people actually have receipts issued to them by Master Ning."
Lin Ye: "In other words, there is no conclusive evidence against me?"
Shi Jintang said: "Some of the businessmen who were arrested said that part of the bribes received by Mr. Ning was given to Lin Ye, the general of the Cowardly Army at the time."
Lin Ye said: "This is just a one-sided statement."
Shi Jintang nodded: "So, Lord Protector may not have any major problems, but Lord Ning will definitely not have any small problems."
Lin Ye: "That's good."
Shi Jintang: "That's good?"
Lin Ye said: "Whatever happens to Mr. Ning, that's what Mr. Ning should worry about. Why should I worry about him?"
After saying this, Lin Ye looked at Shi Jintang's darkened face.
"I'll go make some of the game I brought later. Remember to come over and eat it."
After saying that, Lin Ye actually left.
Shi Jintang strode after him: "Master Protector, please give me a solid explanation. Is it because you are sure that nothing happened?"
Lin Ye said: "If you are really worried about Master Ning's safety, then you can send someone to Geling to inquire about it. As for your confidence, I am only sure that I am not involved."
Shi Jintang: "What if Master Ning also says that he indeed distributed the money to the Protector?"
Lin Ye looked at Shi Jintang and looked at him with a look like "How come you still don't understand me now?"
"You want to say that if Mr. Ning couldn't stand in front of the evidence, and after being captured and imprisoned, he couldn't stand the interrogation, so he really gave me money for confessing?"
Shi Jintang: "Yes, that's what I'm worried about."
Lin Ye: "There is nothing to worry about. If Lord Ning really said that he gave me the money, then he...is also telling the truth."

Jintang: "..."
Lin Ye said: "You ask me what to do, and what can I do? Even if I tell you the only way, you definitely won't let me use it."
Shi Jintang quickly asked: "What method?" Lin Ye replied: "Kill Ning Weimo."
Shi Jintang: "..."
Lin Ye said: "Actually, let alone you, even if His Majesty asked me in front of all the civil and military officials, Mr. Ning said that the money was given to you, what do you say, I can only say that Mr. Ning is right. "
Speaking of this, he patted Shi Jintang's shoulder meaningfully.
"These are lessons learned from experience. You should take this as a warning. Don't reach out, otherwise you will be caught."
Shi Jintang: "Yes...what is it? Master Protector really took Master Ning's money?"
Lin Ye: "Take it."
Shi Jintang: "How much...have you taken?"
Lin Ye: "What I took shouldn't be too much. It should be considered a small amount. I'm not the big one."
Shi Jintang: "How much is the small head?"
Lin Ye said: "I forgot. After all, I spent it after taking it. I really didn't remember it."
Shi Jintang: "There has to be a number."
Lin Ye: "It should be tens of thousands taels, or hundreds of thousands taels?"
Shi Jintang: "..."
After a long time, he clasped his fists and said, "Sir, take care."
Lin Ye: "You're welcome."
Shi Jintang walked a few steps and then looked back at Lin Ye: "The big head was taken by Lord Ning, and the small head was taken by Lord Protector. The small head is worth hundreds of thousands taels, so how much is the big head?"
Lin Ye: "I don't know. Ning Weimo may or may not know, it depends on whether he dares to say it."
Shi Jintang: "Master Protector's words are misty, what do you mean?"
Lin Ye said: "It means... Master Ning didn't take the big head."
Geling City, Zhenyuan Palace, main hall.
"The big head is mine."
The emperor glanced at the excited courtiers and said this calmly.
As soon as these words were spoken, the indignant civil and military officials all shut up in an instant.
"I remember that the largest sum of money was taken from Yunzhou after returning from Guzhu."
He looked at Ning Weimo and said, "I remember correctly."
Although he was pointed at and scolded by the officials just now, Ning Weimo did not look afraid at all, and he still looked calm and calm.
Hearing His Majesty say this, he leaned over and replied: "Your Majesty remembered correctly, it was indeed your Majesty who took it from your ministers after returning from Guzhu to Yunzhou."
The emperor hummed.
He asked: "You also said at that time that it is really rare for Yunzhou merchants to have this kind of heart, so you still asked me in front of me to reduce some taxes in Yunzhou?"
Ning Weimo leaned over again: "Your Majesty, yes, I did say it myself."
The emperor stood up and walked slowly down from the high platform.
"I remember that at that time, I was trapped in Lone Bamboo. There were rebels outside the city, and we were surrounded by water."
"Another big thing happened in the city. The assassin was so bold that he rushed into Ning Weimo's residence and killed all of Ning Weimo's followers."
Ning Weimo leaned over and said, "Yes, that day, everyone around me died."
The emperor said as he walked: "I remember that you escaped by chance, so I said, you should find a way to go back to Yunzhou. First, it will be easier to escape while others think you are dead, and second, I am alone. All the bamboo, grain and grass supplies are about to be exhausted, and we need someone close to us to rush to Yunzhou to raise supplies."
Ning Weimo echoed: "After I left, I stayed day and night all the way, and walked for a full month before returning to Yunzhou. However, I didn't expect that Wanyu Tower would block the Yunzhou treasury at that time, and no one was allowed to go there. The lonely bamboo gives out grain."
The emperor nodded.
He said in a serious tone: "Yes, who would have thought that at that time, the prime minister I rely on would be behind my back?"
A hard stab. "
Ning Weimo said: "I had no choice but to find a way to borrow money from wealthy merchants. After all, I had been the city lord in Yunzhou before this."
After he said this, the adults who were filled with indignation just now realized that something was going wrong.
"You worked hard at that time."
The emperor walked slowly, passing in front of the ministers, looking at each one as he passed, and looking down at each one.
The emperor said, "You were afraid that Wanyu Tower would notice your raising of food and grass, so you didn't explain to those big merchants that the money, food and materials needed were to be sent to my rescue."
Ning Weimo immediately said: "But I didn't dare to take the money privately, so I wrote receipts to all the merchants."
The emperor hummed.
Ning Weimo continued: "At that time, Wanyu Tower was in Yunzhou. Once I said that I wanted to raise money to save His Majesty, it wouldn't take long for Wanyu Tower to find out. By then, my death would be a small matter, but it would be a big deal to save His Majesty. .”
The emperor said again: "You worked hard at that time."
Ning Weimo said: "Even though I was careful and didn't dare to reveal my traces, I was still noticed by the traitors. There were two heroes sent by the governor Lin Ye to protect me. In order to let me escape halfway, they The two of them died in battle one after another, both in extremely tragic ways. To this day, I still remember their loyalty and bravery..."
When he said this, Ning Weimo couldn't hold himself any longer, with tears in his eyes.
This was not all pretend, but he was really feeling uncomfortable. Every time he thought of brothers Chu Danrong and Chu Dingcong dying to save him, he felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart again and again.
Ning Weimo said: "Later, when your Majesty returned from Guzhu, he learned that there was still a large part of the silver collected by the minister, so he used most of the silver for pensions."
The Emperor said: "The rebels besieged the city, and so many soldiers died fighting to protect me. I am ashamed of them. The imperial court allocated money as a pension, but what is enough money?"
He looked at the courtiers: "I am the emperor, and the emperor cannot break the rules casually. The amount of the pension was originally agreed upon and entered into law. Therefore, if I want to compensate the families of those fallen soldiers, I can only use extraordinary means."
"This matter... I was also wrong. After much thought, if I had brought the matter to the court for discussion, none of your ministers would have stopped me."
A group of people had to nod.
The emperor seemed to be thinking of something casually: "I remember, did Lin Ye also take some money from you?"
"yes."
Ning Weimo said: "The Protector-General recruited many loyal people in the world at that time. These people fought to the death for Dayu, and many of them failed to come back."
"There are also soldiers and horses that Lord Protector recruited from Dongbo. The casualties in Lone Bamboo were even more heavy, fifty to six out of ten."
"The Protector-General said that although they are from the world, even though they are from Dongbo, they are all serving the Emperor and fighting for Dayu. We cannot let all of them die and the family members be heartbroken."
"So, Lord Protector took a batch of collected silver from me and sent the money to Dongbo and distributed it to the families of the Dongbo soldiers who died in battle."
Ning Weimo said: "When Lord Protector said that, I felt really sad. They are all your Majesty's ministers. Dayu's soldiers died in battle and the court still paid them compensation, but those righteous warriors died, but no one cared about them."
After hearing this, the emperor sighed heavily.
He sighed heavily, and Manchao Wenwu couldn't help but feel tense.
"In the final analysis, this is my fault."
The emperor said: "After returning to Geling, I was busy with this and that, but I forgot about these loyal people who risked their lives outside the territory for me."
Ning Weimo said: "Yu Lingwei was investigating the case in Yunzhou, and I just remembered this matter. It is true that I failed to give them an explanation."
The emperor looked at Xumi Pianruo, and Xumi Pianruo said to his heart: Don’t look at me, don’t look at me, Your Majesty, don’t look at me, I don’t want to go to Yunzhou anymore.
The emperor said: "Xumi, you should go to Yunzhou yourself and inform the merchants from all over the country about this matter."
Please investigate carefully. If it is indeed because of Ning Weimo raising money for me, then I will give them the due explanation. "
Xumi Pianruo: "I still have..."
Before he finished speaking, the emperor said: "Let go of what you have in hand first. The most important thing is to appease the people."
Xumi Pianruo: "I... obey the order."
The emperor said: "Let's set off as soon as possible."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Xiujin approached with very light steps and lowered his voice to the emperor: "General Lin Ye has a secret report."
The emperor stretched out his hand.
Gu Xiujin handed over the memorial. The emperor looked at it halfway, and his face began to turn cold.
Before he said anything, the courtiers already felt the chill.
