"Oh? Let him in!" Zhao Li suddenly became interested.
Lin Zhenshan had just shown his prestige in the capital.
Are you coming to him now to plead guilty?
This old boy is really a genius!
He came here today to plead guilty, and tomorrow the civil servants will report him. He really can't be angry.
After a while, Lin Zhenshan walked in.
His expression was a little lonely and a little guilty.
There were also two jars of wine in his hands.
"Humph, here we come." Zhao Li snorted coldly and turned away from Lin Zhenshan.
"Brother, younger brother and sister." Lin Zhenshan chuckled.
As soon as Lin Zhenshan said these words, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly changed.
There is no longer a relationship between the two of them.
But brothers.
"old man!"
"Tell me, why are you so crazy today!" Zhao Li sighed helplessly.
When brother Lin Zhenshan calls out, what else can he do?
"You men keep talking while I prepare some side dishes." The Queen excused herself and left.
She was very aware of the emperor's shortcomings.
He has the decisiveness to kill, and he is also proficient in the art of the emperor.
But it’s just too much about friendship!
However, the only person who can make him value friendship is Lin Zhenshan, a loyal veteran.
Lin Zhenshan will never do anything detrimental to Da Gan.
It has no impact on his emphasis on friendship.
"Brothers and sisters, there is no need to cook!"
"I'll have a drink and then leave!" Lin Zhenshan sat down with a smile, picked up the jar and poured wine for the emperor.
Zhao Li was angry and helpless, and drank in silence.
"Brother, today we don't care about the king or the minister."
"Just say something personal, okay?" Lin Zhenshan then refilled Zhao Li's cup.
Zhao Li nodded, he wanted to see if Lin Zhenshan could come up with something!
"You and I have known each other since childhood, and it must have been more than fifty years now." Lin Zhenshan spoke again.
“不错,五十二年整,你比我大俩月,从小就爱揍我。”赵立脸上带着几分追忆。
For him, the best time was when he was a child.
He was not a prince at that time, and the former emperor was just a general.
But there are also many brothers who have loved to bully him since childhood.
Lin Zhenshan, a child from his uncle's family, also loved to bully him!
But when others bully him, Lin Zhenshan will always stand in front of him.
Later, when he grew up, the former emperor rebelled and ascended the throne.
He is the fifth prince, neither above nor below.
The four brothers above also disliked him.
It was Lin Zhenshan who accompanied him in the army and on expeditions.
Accompany him to fight his way through the battlefield and achieve unparalleled feats!
In the end, Lin Zhenshan gave all the credit to him.
Let the late emperor value him.
Only then did he have what he has today.
To him, Lin Zhenshan was no different than a biological brother.
Even closer than the Queen.
Otherwise, if you put it on someone else and dare to be worthy of his brother, he would have killed him long ago!
"Then you tell me that my brother is incompetent for his job!"
"When I see someone bullying you, as an elder brother, do I have to vent your anger?" Lin Zhenshan slapped the table.
Zhao Li was startled and waved his hand quickly.
"Then brother, when I was helping you vent your anger, I did something wrong."
"You said such a wrong thing, it's just a matter between us brothers!"
"Brother, I can't harm you!" Lin Zhenshan continued.
A look of enlightenment flashed across Zhao Li's face.
It turned out that Lin Zhenshan was playing the emotional card with him!
However, he really wasn't angry.
He couldn't be angry at Lin Zhenshan.
Anyway, Lin Zhenshan will definitely not engage in any treasonous activities.
Lin Zhenshan did other things, but it wasn't enough to anger him.
"Tell me, what did you do behind my back?"
"I'm definitely not angry!" Zhao Li urged.
He can guarantee that if he didn't urge him, Lin Zhenshan wouldn't be able to get to the point tonight!
"Qian Bafang teamed up with Ma Zhu, a member of the household department, Qi Zhong, a doctor in the Duzhi department, and Meng Yu, a member of the Jin department, to embezzle 50 million taels of tax and silver from the state treasury!" Lin Zhenshan said in a low voice.
Zhao Li frowned, stood up directly, and said seriously: "Marquis Zhongyi, are you serious?"
"If this matter is deliberately framed, I will definitely punish you for deceiving the emperor!"
Hearing this, Lin Zhenshan understood that Zhao Li was serious.
At this moment, the two of them are no longer brothers, but kings and ministers!
"Your Majesty, this is indeed true!" Lin Bei walked in from outside the palace door.
"What evidence do you have?" Zhao Li then asked.
"I think your Majesty already knows what happened in the capital tonight."
"Three million taels of silver notes, plus all the grain stores and family property of the Qian family in the capital."
"It's just the hush money Qian Bafang gave to Xiao Chen!"
"In addition, the deficit in the household department still exists to this day."
"You will know after you order an investigation!" Lin Bei took out the banknotes and land deeds.
This is the second thing he has to do.
Let the emperor know about this!
Otherwise, he would become a grasshopper in the same boat as Qian Bafang.
When Qian Bafang's incident happened, the Lin family would also be punished for not reporting what they knew.
The most terrifying thing is the emperor’s heart!
This kind of thing was discovered by the emperor.
Although the Lin family's crime did not lead to death, Lin Zhenshan was completely separated from the emperor, and there was bound to be a crisis of trust between the two.
By that time, without the emperor's favor, the Lin family will surely plummet.
I will definitely spit out the ten million taels I have eaten.
Even more to spit out!
"No wonder!" Zhao Li snorted coldly.
No wonder the officials reported to Lin Zhenshan this morning that he had named the Qian family, and Qian Bazhong spoke to Lin Zhenshan.
No wonder Lin Zhenshan just seized the Qian family's property and Qian Bafang remained silent.
It turns out that the source of everything is here!
It was Lin Zhenshan who held the handle on Qian Bafang!
"Where did you know about this?" Zhao Li looked at the father and son. They were obviously well prepared!
One of them played the emotional card when he came up, and the other reported it when he came up. Even the person who was embezzling with Qian Bafang was found out!
"The minister heard it from Qian Tong himself at Wanhua Tower a few days ago!" Lin Bei said in a low voice.
At this point, the blame for the leaker can only be placed on Qian Tong!
It must also be spent on the same head as the money!
Who asked him to falsely accuse himself yesterday!
"Wanhua Tower?" Zhao Li frowned, this little bastard!
He is about to marry a princess, and yet he dares to go to a brothel!
Damn it!
"Wanhualou!" The Queen came over carrying a plate of pastries that the three of them loved to eat when they were children.
He was still happy at first, but when he heard the three words Wanhualou, his face suddenly darkened.
"This..." Lin Bei suddenly stood there awkwardly.
"Are you done talking?"
"After we finished chatting, Lin Bei came with me." The Queen put down the cakes and walked out of the hall alone.
"Your Majesty, Dad." Lin Bei looked at the two of them with pleading eyes.
Lin Zhenshan cast a helpless look.
Zhao Li's eyes looked the same as if he had killed Lin Bei.
Lin Bei is about to marry his little cotton-padded jacket, yet Lin Bei still dares to go to a brothel to show off.
If it weren't for Lin Zhenshan's presence today, and Lin Bei's report would be meritorious.
He must tear Lin Beida into pieces!
