Chapter 1,470
The matter of choosing a concubine was strangled in the cradle by Xiao Lintian in this way.
But those ministers didn't take it seriously. What man doesn't want to be lewd? This is just a temporary excuse for Xiao Lintian.
When he secures his position as the dragon, he will surely recruit many beautiful girls to fill his harem.
Ling Yu returned to the imperial capital with King Pingnan and his party the next day.
Xiao Lintian received the report and personally led hundreds of officials to Shilipo.
He did so in the name of welcoming the imperial envoy, King Pingnan, on his triumphant return. Although Zhao Hui and others had objections, they could not object.
Ling Yu had already learned from Lingxuan who had come out in advance that she had been impeached by the imperial censor and left the palace. Naturally, she could not add fuel to the fire any more. She said hello to King Heping Nan and returned to the palace in advance.
When Xiao Lintian saw that Ling Yu was not in the team, he knew in his heart that Ling Yu left early because he was afraid of embarrassing himself.
He was in a bad mood. Ling Yu was clearly here to help the court, so why couldn't he be treated like King Ping Nan?
The verbal abuse of these old fogies is so disgusting!
Xiao Lintian secretly vowed that when spring comes, he must replace some younger ministers to make the court more energetic.
It also made Ling Yu less scrupulous.
Most of the officials were shocked when they saw Mr. Zhang and the stolen goods that King Pingnan had escorted into the capital. There were nearly seventy or eighty carriages loaded with silver and jewels. This Mr. Zhang was really audacious!
Zhao Hui looked calm on the surface, but in his heart all hatred and jealousy came out.
I hate Master Zhang, this old bastard, that I and Prince Kang risked their lives to protect him. They didn't expect that he embezzled so much money, but only gave them less than a quarter.
Damn it!
The jealous thing is that so much money will soon go into Xiao Lintian's treasury. If King Kang gets it, he won't have to worry about the funds for rebellion.
Zhao Hui felt a little regretful for a moment. If he had known Master Zhang had so much money, he shouldn't have just been busy killing Ling Yu. Isn't it more cost-effective to get the money first than to kill Ling Yu?
Zhao Hui had no idea that Xiao Lintian's handiwork was also involved.
When he went to Dingzhou to visit Ling Yu that day, King Pingnan had already shown Xiao Lintian the stolen money embezzled by Mr. Zhang.
It was Xiao Lintian who instructed King Pingnan to find some stones, put them in a box, and send them together as stolen money!
Xiao Lintian wanted to use this to cause corrupt officials such as Zhao Hui, Kang Wang and Zhang to fight among themselves.
Master Zhang also dreamed that he would continue to be protected by King Kang and Zhao Hui. This strategy could completely allow Zhao Hui to stand aside and watch Master Zhang's affairs.
And based on Xiao Lintian's understanding of Zhao Hui and King Kang, these two people will definitely kill Master Zhang and silence them.
Such a large amount of money also became the reason that stimulated them to kill Master Zhang.
Because King Pingnan and Ling Xianggang strictly monitored Mr. Zhang along the way, Zhao Hui's people did not find an opportunity to take action. When Mr. Zhang was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, Zhao Hui would never let go of this opportunity to take action.
Xiao Lintian has not yet found evidence that can convict Zhao Hui and King Kang, but when they stretched out a hand, he cut off one of their hands.
Zhao Hui and King Kang must be forced to reveal their true colors.
In addition to Ling Yu, those who left the pick-up team early were Ling Wan and Ling Xianggang.
They parted ways with King Pingnan when they were more than ten miles away from the city.
Ling Xianggang's identity at this time was dual. As Ling Xianggang, he was a civilian who had been deprived of his official position.
As Master Lin, because he helped Anzhe defend Xingyang and capture Pinggao, his previous crimes of participating in the riots were wiped out.
But if we want to reward according to merit, Ling Xianggang has to overturn the previous case to get the reward...
