Government office.
When Zhao Nanli was brought here, his legs were already weak.
He originally thought that there was an iron certificate for the elixir given by Emperor Taizu. As a general, Lin Ye had to be in awe.
Who would have thought that Lin Ye's soldiers didn't even have the most basic loyalty... That was a gift from Emperor Taizu.
What kind of world is this, what kind of world is this!
Zhao Nanli, full of grief and anger, just wanted to scream to the sky and curse.
But as soon as he entered the yard and saw Lin Ye standing there with his back to the door, Zhao Nanli's sadness and anger disappeared instantly.
He actually broke away from the support of the Cowardly Army soldiers, walked a few steps quickly and knelt down directly.
"General, General, please make the decision for me, General."
Zhao Nanli knelt there and cried: "Why did this general under the general bring me to the government office? General, this must not be what you meant, right?
Listening to this tone, Lin Ye felt as if the aggrieved junior had finally found an elder who could support him.
From what I heard, Zhao Nanli sounded like he was closer to Jiao Tianbao than Lin Ye.
Lin Ye looked back at him and asked, "Is this Duke Lin?"
Zhao Nanli quickly replied: "Yes, yes, to the general, I am none other than Zhao Nanli."
Lin Ye took two steps forward and sat down on the steps at the door.
He looked at Zhao Nanli's expression with runny nose and tears, and thought to himself that the current head of the Zhao family looked like this. If General Zhao, who followed Emperor Taizu of Dayu, saw him, he would not know what Zhao Nanli looked like. How would the general feel.
What a waste of money...
"I invite Duke Lin here today without any ill intentions."
When Lin Ye said these words, Zhao Nanli's expression obviously softened.
He became excited, looked up at Lin Ye and said incoherently: "I knew the general would not harm me... No, no, no, I mean, I knew the general would take care of me."
"Although there were some misunderstandings between me and the general a few days ago, they are all small things. The general is generous and always kind..."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Ye asked him: "Who deceived you so miserably?"
Zhao Nanli was stunned: "It's... what made me so miserable?"
Lin Ye said: "You just said that I am magnanimous and kind to others. Has anyone ever said this to you?"
Zhao Nanli quickly said: "It's not other people who tell me, but my own feelings."
Lin Ye: "You have a good understanding. Don't understand it next time."
He patted the open space next to him: "Come, sit with me for a while."
How dare Zhao Nanli.
Although he is a hereditary and irreplaceable Duke, he is still under the roof after all... No, no, no, no, no, he is under the roof. He is clearly under the knife's edge. How dare he not bow his head?
Zhao Nanli opened his mouth, and finally said a little aggrievedly: "I... better kneel."
Lin Ye reached out and pulled his arm, asking him to sit down next to him.
"Don't worry, Duke Lin. I invited people here to handle the case. If someone is found to have committed a crime, then of course he will be punished as a crime. Duke Lin should have never violated Dayu's law."
Zhao Nanli said quickly: "No, absolutely not. It's not just me, the people in my house have always abided by the law and have never violated Dayu's laws."
Lin Ye said: "I believe you."
Zhao Nanli was stunned.
He really couldn't understand what the general meant.
He was already doing ideological work for himself halfway through. After all, none of those captured by Lin Ye left alive.
He told himself that even though he was only in his thirties, it was still half a lifetime of prosperity.
Even if you are stabbed, it is not too unfair. You can be reborn into a good family in your next life and continue to be prosperous and wealthy.
But how could he possibly persuade himself to comfort himself that he should die if he should do this?
Lin Ye said: "I investigated the case before and got some secrets. I have mixed feelings about these things."
He looked at Zhao Nanli and said, "I have no friends in Geling City, and Duke Lin also knows that I have lived in Yunzhou for a long time and have only been here in Geling for a short time."
Zhao Nanli said quickly: "Yes, yes, when the general first arrived in Geling, he performed this extraordinary service for the imperial court and your majesty..."
Lin Ye said: "I saw that Duke Lin was kind-hearted and friendly, so I became my friend today."
Zhao Nanli shocked the boss.
But he still kept saying: "Yes, yes, the general and I have been friends for a long time. It is a pity that we can't have a heart-to-heart relationship until today."
Lin Ye said: "Wang Luoshen bribed several nobles in the palace to seduce His Royal Highness the Prince of the Prison Kingdom. Don't you think Duke Lin knows about this?"
Zhao Nanli's eyes widened and he subconsciously covered his ears: "The general said something, but I didn't hear anything."
Lin Ye reached out to take off Zhao Nanli's hand, came closer, and said in his ear: "Wang Luoshen bribed several nobles in the palace to seduce His Royal Highness the Prince of the Supervisory Kingdom. Don't you know that Duke Lin Guo knows about this."
Zhao Nanli almost cried and said: "Please don't harm me, general. After hearing such things, how can I still be alive? Even if the general doesn't kill me, I will die when your majesty returns to the capital in the future."
Lin Ye said: "In addition to several nobles, Wang Luoshen also bribed Xin Yue, the deputy chamberlain in the palace, and wanted to poison the chambermaid Gu Xiujin."
Zhao Nanli knelt down again with a plop.
"General, I will be happy to do whatever you ask me to do. Please stop talking about it."
Lin Ye said: "They are vicious. Not only did they come up with a vicious plan to seduce His Majesty, they also wanted to publicize it and insult His Majesty's reputation."
Zhao Nanli just kept kowtowing and kept kowtowing.
Lin Ye said: "The other thing is..."
He stretched out his hands to hold Zhao Nanli's face, looked into Zhao Nanli's eyes and said: "Twenty years ago, General Liu Jigong went north to fight against Lou Fan. In the battle of Beiting Mountain, the Cowardly Army was wiped out. It was Wang Luoshen who arranged The betrayed general."
Zhao Nanli seemed to be dead for a moment, and his whole body was stunned.
"I know that this matter has nothing to do with your Duke Lin's mansion. If it had, you would be nothing but a piece of meat now."
Lin Ye pulled Zhao Nanli and sat down next to him, looking at Lin Ye who was still so kind and calm.
"You didn't participate in the betrayal of the Cowardly Army. Firstly, because you were young at the time and Wang Luoshen looked down on you. Secondly, because you, the Duke of Linguo, really didn't have the qualifications to be valued by him."
Lin Ye said: "Now, he wants to fight against the imperial court and His Majesty, but he pulls you over to the front..."
Lin Ye paused, then stretched out his hand toward Pang Panghai: "Bring Xin Yue's confession."
Pang Panghai immediately handed Lin Ye a piece of paper with both hands. Lin Ye shook the paper and said, "This is the confession of Xin Yue, the deputy chamberlain. He said that if the plan succeeds, he can force the prince to step down and return the favor." Can seize the real power of the office..."
"If the plan fails and someone finds out, and if the investigation continues, then Xin Yue will follow Wang Luoshen's arrangement and put this crime on you, Duke Lin."
Lin Ye put the paper next to him and looked at Zhao Nanli: "Your uncle is really good to you."
Zhao Nanli's face was as white as paper, whiter than the piece of paper Lin Ye put on the ground.
He trembled and said: "Why...why do you want to harm me like this? I just want to preserve the Zhao family, no, no, no, I just want to preserve my lineage...why do you treat me like this?" !”
Lin Ye said: "I invited you to come to my place. I won't kill you. I will send you back with gifts later."
Zhao Nanli was shocked. He was not really stupid.
He quickly said: "If the general sends someone to send me back immediately, Wang Luoshen will definitely doubt me."
Lin Ye: "You are an outsider. You don't know Wang Luoshen's plot. Why are you afraid of this?"
Zhao Nanli said anxiously: "Wang Luoshen is a ruthless person. If I really go back safe and sound, he will send someone to interrogate me. Maybe, maybe he will kill me and frame the blame on the general."
Lin Ye: "Then you are in a miserable state. It's okay for me to put the blame on me. I will follow up. When the people know that I have eliminated another powerful man, who is also the Duke of the country, not only will they not scold me, but they will also praise me."
Zhao Nanli came back again, kowtowing and said: "Please save me, General, please save me, General."
Lin Ye said seriously: "What nonsense are you talking about, you idiot? I invited you here just to harm you, but you asked me to save you. What do you think?"
Zhao Nanli cried and begged: "Only the general can save me now. Instead of asking me to trust Wang Luoshen, I might as well surrender to the general."
Lin Ye said: "Wang Luoshen just wanted to kill your whole family, but I want to harm you."
Zhao Nanli was stunned again and said to Lin Ye, listen to yourself. Is this human language?
He has no other choice now but to kowtow and plead.
Lin Ye waited for a while and then said: "Then... how about this? I want to harm you, and Wang Luoshen also wants to harm you. I will recommend a place where no one will harm you. Just go."
Zhao Nanli immediately asked: "General, please enlighten me. General, please tell me, where can I go?"
Lin Ye said: "Go to your Majesty. If you go to see your Majesty, tell the truth about these things in Geling City. Your Majesty thinks that you are innocent and has traveled thousands of miles to report the news. Not only will he not punish you, but you will also be rewarded."
Zhao Nanli was stunned.
Lin Ye said: "You are not afraid of death if you stay in Geling. You are afraid of dying and being accused of treason. It is the best end for you to die alone. But according to the crime, you will be implicated."
Zhao Nanli swallowed hard, and then asked tentatively: "General, are you really sure that Your Majesty will not kill me?"
Lin Ye: "This idiot is talking nonsense again. If I could make the decision for His Majesty, wouldn't you have died a long time ago? Why would you bother to go to see His Majesty so much?"
Zhao Nanli was stunned again and again.
Xin said to Lin Ye, listen again, is what you said yourself fucking human?
Lin Ye smiled and said: "I won't tease you anymore. To be honest, if you go to see His Majesty, you will live or die. If you don't go to see His Majesty, the nine tribes will be implicated."
He leaned over and looked at Zhao Nanli and said: "As for how you can have a better chance of survival, it depends on what you say when you meet His Majesty, and what you do when His Majesty wants you to do something."
Zhao Nanli's eyes lit up when he heard this.
He heard that the emperor needed a witness.
When Wang Luoshen is imprisoned in the future, he will be the crucial witness.
The person testified that he had meritorious service. Even if he could not win a commendation, it would be impossible for His Majesty to kill him, Zhao Nanli, in the name of benevolence and righteousness.
"I go!"
Zhao Nanli immediately straightened up, looked at Lin Ye and said loudly: "I have long been determined to eliminate this national traitor for Dayu. Although I have made mistakes, I still have a righteous heart. Even if I go to see His Majesty and narrowly escape death, I will not hesitate."
At this point, his tone softened: "It's just that there will inevitably be dangers along the way, and I would like to ask the general to assign elite soldiers and horses for protection."
Lin Ye pointed at his men: "Everyone of my men only has a wooden stick. Do you think I can protect you?"
He smiled and said: "I will show you another clear path. Now leave my office and run as fast as you can. Run into the Forbidden Army camp and tell Gao Qisheng exactly what I said." General, he has strong troops and horses, so he will protect you."
Zhao Nanli stood up immediately: "Zhao Nanli, the criminal, thanks the general for not killing him, and thanks the general for saving his life."
After saying that, he walked out quickly.
Lin Ye said: "Run."
Zhao Nanli ran away as fast as she could. He had never run so fast in his life.
