Lin Yue ordered a bowl of ice and snow cold yuanzi from a street food stall, scooped two pieces into his mouth with a spoon, and felt like he came alive.
Summer without air conditioning is really difficult. Although carbon dioxide emissions are not high in this era and the greenhouse effect is not serious, it is still very hot to walk on the street in the middle of the day.
"Would you like a bowl?"
Lu Jianxing shook his head: "Father, Lu is not hungry."
"It's not just to fill your stomach. It's summer and there's no ice cream to satisfy your cravings, so it's good to have some cold Yuanzi."
"ice cream"
cough
Lin Yue coughed lightly and did not answer his question. Instead, he asked: "This time the factory owner called me over. If I guessed correctly, someone is trying to mess with me. Are you sure you want to follow me?"
Lu Jianxing glanced at the ice and snow Leng Yuanzi in the bowl: "Lu is willing to go with my father-in-law."
"So confident," Lin Yue said, "I really want to know what gave you the confidence to follow me."
"Does Leng Yuanzi count?"
Lin Yue looked at the contents in the bowl, took a spoonful and put it in his mouth, gave the rest to Lu Jianxing, and strode away.
The little eunuch doing odd jobs in the East Police Factory was whispering something, while the waiter at the door said nothing with a cold face.
Lin Yue asked Lu Jianxing to wait outside the door and entered the hall alone.
Sitting on the main seat in front was Wei Zhongxian, who was wearing a long robe and a tall hat with a lazy look on his face. Standing on the front left was Xu Xianchun, the envoy of Fusi Town in Beizhen. Different from the past, Lin Yue looked at Lin Yue today with no enthusiasm, only indifference.
The people next to Xu Xianchun were Lu Wenzhao and Lu Qianhu. Sitting on the seat below was Zhao Jingzhong, who also had a frosty face. Zhao Jingzhong's target was Wei Ting, who was dressed like a dandy and had a Western sword stuck in his waist.
In the middle of the hall stood an old man, wearing a green straight tie and a net scarf on his head.
Lin Yue was stunned for a moment when he saw the man's face. Although he had been mentally prepared and knew that there was a "Hongmen Banquet" waiting for him ahead, he was still surprised when he recognized the old man's identity.
Isn't this the purifier who provides Lin San with palace services? Does it need to be so grand?
Lin Yue looked at Lu Wenzhao, then at Zhao Jingzhong, and walked directly in front of Wei Zhongxian: "Factory Master."
"Lu Qianhu, who came to Jinyiwei, saw a report letter when he was reviewing the documents, saying that you bribed the eunuch in charge and entered the Forbidden City without thorough purification. Is this true?"
Wei Zhongxian asked expressionlessly.
Lin Yue said sternly: "This is a frame-up against a subordinate. Please let the factory owner know clearly."
"Look, is that the person who helped you clean yourself?"
"yes."
"Do you know his name?"
"I know, let's ask the party to respect each other."
"This is the same comrade who is telling you to deceive the emperor and bring trouble to the palace."
Lin Yue turned his head and asked in a cold voice: "Who gave you the instruction to falsely accuse me?"
The party members looked at Wei Zhongxian respectfully and said: "I am nine thousand years old. No one has given instructions to the villain to make false accusations. It was the villain's friend who heard that Lin San was promoted to prison and congratulated the villain. The villain checked the purification book and found that his name was not Lin San. In order not to be implicated by him, and in order to expose the true face of the thief, the villain submitted a letter of report to Jin Yiwei."
Being a purifier is a profession, and it is a good profession. In addition to those prospective eunuchs who have to pay "surgery fees", some eunuchs who have done well in the palace will also give some filial piety silver to express their gratitude, and how can I say this? In terms of connections in the palace, for people living among the people, they are a coveted resource. This is why Lin San was promoted to such a high rank and his friends in the party congratulated him.
Needless to say, this old guy must have been bribed by Lu Wenzhao.
Lin Yue looked at Lu Wenzhao with a sneer on his lips. He must be seeking revenge for Ding Baiying.
It was revenge, but not only revenge for Ding Baiying, but also revenge for himself.
His favorite junior sister was actually raped by a fake eunuch. When he heard about this from Ding Tai, he returned home and smashed everything in the study, including vases, ornaments, incense burners... anyway.
What a shame.
What a shame.
If he doesn't take revenge, he won't even be considered a human being.
So the current scene unfolded, where Lin San was exposed as a fake eunuch in the name of a fake party member.
From Lu Wenzhao's point of view, Lin was doomed this time. He would lose his head if he deceived the emperor, and causing trouble in the palace was a major crime against the nine tribes. Although he didn't know why he exposed his falsehood in front of Ding Baiying and Ding Chong. As a eunuch, he may be a daring person, or he may be obsessed with evil spirits. In short, the consequences of his quick pleasure are digging his own grave.
Unless this guy can suddenly become a real eunuch, but... from castration to healing in two days, is it possible? Impossible!
Seeing Lin Yue looking over, Lu Wenzhao tried hard to suppress the anger and hatred in his heart, as well as the desire to chop off the head, and remained as indifferent as possible, as if he was doing something that had nothing to do with him.
Because before King Xin ascends the throne, he must not reveal his identity, and everything must be based on the overall situation. Even if he dreams of killing Lin San with one knife, then chop it into meat paste and feed it to the dogs.
"Father." Zhao Jingzhong stood up: "According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, anyone who deceives the emperor will not be killed. I had doubts before that a small internal official and supervisor happened to make a contribution, but he didn't want an official position or monetary reward. , I went to the Jiaofang Department to ransom a girl back home, but I didn’t expect him to be an impostor."
Although he didn't know who was trying to persecute people with the surname Lin, he would not sit idly by and ignore it. If he didn't knock the boy down at this moment, he would step on him so hard that he would never be able to stand up again. Become a serious problem for him.
Wei Zhongxian looked at Lin Yue and said, "What else do you have to say?"
Lin Yue said: "My subordinates are still saying the same thing. This is someone setting up a trap."
Wei Zhongxian was not a fool, so he didn't know that someone was trying to mess with Lin San. But now that it was like this, it was hard for him to show favoritism.
At this time, Wei Ting stood up and said, "Father, since Master Lin said that Dang Tongjing is falsely accusing him, we just need to send someone to check his body, and we will know who is lying."
"Well, in that case... Guixiang, I'll leave this matter to you."
The confidant eunuch standing behind Wei Zhongxian walked up to Lin Yue and said, "Come with me, Commander Lin."
Lin Yue said nothing, glanced at Zhao Jingzhong, and followed Guixiang away.
Lu Wenzhao looked at his back and sneered repeatedly, "Unless you can make that thing disappear, you will die today."
Dang Tongjing's expression was a little unnatural, but when he thought about the 2,000 taels of silver, he felt a sudden surge in his heart. Even if there was something wrong, he could still excuse himself by saying that he was old and his memory was not good. Even if he apologized and begged for mercy in the end, he would have to step back. To put it bluntly, it is worth holding on to 2,000 taels of silver for a year and a half.
After a while, Lin Yue and Guixiang left and returned.
Wei Zhongxian straightened up and asked, "How are you doing?"
Guixiang answered truthfully: "Thank you, Mr. Lin, for being very clean."
Xu Xianchun, Lu Wenzhao, and Zhao Jingzhong all changed their expressions after saying this.
Lu Wenzhao, in particular, wondered what was going on. Would Ding Tai lie to him? It was impossible. It was absolutely impossible for him to lie to him about this kind of thing.
Did Guixiang deliberately favor the eunuch? Did he have the guts? You know if something happens in the future, you will be beheaded if you are implicated.
Who can tell him what is going on?
Could it be that that guy really castrated himself in the past two days? It makes no sense at all.
At this moment, Lin Yue launched a counterattack.
"Mr. Factory, please govern the party and respect the crime of falsely accusing the imperial official."
"Mr. Factory, please calm down. Mr. Factory, please calm down." Dang Tongjing did not expect such a result, but he reacted quickly and knelt on the ground with a thud: "The villain must be old and sick, his eyesight is dim, and he misremembered Boss Lin. I beg the factory owner to forgive me for once."
"Spare you"
Lin Yue sneered again and again. He had already thought of a plan to deal with the aftermath when he forced himself on Ding Chong and Ding Baiying. Since the system gave him a secret skill of "shrinking the yang into the abdomen", he would not use it to return the yin. Isn’t that a loss for people?
"The factory boss transferred me to the East Factory from the position of Internal Supervisor, and promoted me to the position of Chief Supervisor of the Ceremony Supervisor. Now you are falsely accusing me of deceiving the emperor. Doesn't it mean that the factory boss is ignorant and neglected his duties as a supervisor of the Dongchang? You can slander as much as you like, but the factory owner represents the emperor, and if you mock the factory owner, you are mocking the emperor."
Xu Xianchun and Zhao Jingzhong were stunned, thinking that this guy was really insidious. In just a few words, he gave a fellow party member Jing'an a crime that was enough to be beheaded. If this guy was engaged in literary inquisition, he would definitely be a good player.
"Where is Lu Jianxing!"
Following Lin Yue's violent shouting, a person walked in outside the door.
"Dang Tongjing mocked the factory owner for not respecting the Holy Father, and also falsely accused the court official. He should be executed according to the law."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Jianxing pulled out his long knife with a choking sound. He raised the knife and dropped it. A human head flew into the sky and fell to the ground with a snap after two breaths.
Lin Yuexin said, you old man, cut off my penis, I will chop off your head.
Silence, silence.
Jing was so terrifying that no one thought he would dare to kill someone in public.
Zhao Jingzhong looked at Wei Zhongxian sitting in the middle of the hall and found that his adoptive father's expression was as usual, showing no blame or displeasure.
After thinking for a moment, he understood.
Wei Zhongxian just promoted Lin San to an official position and gave away his belt, but then Lin San was reported. What does this mean by not giving Dongchang face?
If Lin San was really a fake eunuch, there would be nothing to say and he would be killed at the entrance of the street. If it is proven to be a false accusation, then Dang Tongjing will be killed and Liwei will be shown to those who dare to stop Lin San from investigating the case and deny him the dignity of being a nine-thousand-year-old man. This is the fate of being an enemy of him.
This Lin San looks very young, but when it comes to figuring out his thoughts, he is no worse than an experienced official in the officialdom.
Just when Zhao Jingzhong felt a little uncomfortable facing Wei Ting's playful gaze, Lin Yue took a step forward: "Mr. Factory, this subordinate is bold and wants to report someone."
