"That's what you mean. I believe that Mr. Lin's skills will definitely not be spotted by Lao Wu, right?"
Lin Yun sneered inwardly. Before he officially entered Beijing as an official, these princes began to woo him.
Moreover, he had a vague feeling that the Eight Wise Kings in front of him, who was said to be the most trusted by the emperor, seemed to have his own selfish motives and calculations.
He is not as loyal as the outside world reports.
However, there were some words that Lin Yun couldn't say.
Lin Yun hesitated for a moment and said, "Eighth Prince, please think about it!"
Even if he agrees, he can't be too happy. There is no benefit. Why should he sacrifice his life for the Eighth Prince?
The Eight Wise Kings nodded with a smile, as if they understood what Lin Yun meant.
At this time, footsteps were heard outside the door, and Wang Chuanzhong led four elders of the Lin family across the threshold and walked in.
When the four elders of the Lin family saw the four characters "White Tiger Festival Hall", they were all frightened. They knew that this was a place where major military matters were discussed, and not everyone was qualified to enter.
They also understood that this conversation must be related to the future fate of the Lin family, and the four of them couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Wang Chuanzhong lifted up his official robe, knelt directly on the ground, clasped his fists and said, "Master Lin, the Eight Wise Kings, four elders of the Lin family have already arrived!"
The Eight Wise Kings smiled and said, "Give me a seat!"
Wang Chuanzhong then stood up, looked at the four elders of the Lin family, and said solemnly: "You guys are still not grateful?"
*** clasped his fists and smiled: "Thank you, Eighth Prince, but you are the prince, how can we dare to be equal to you?"
The Eight Wise Kings were stunned for a moment, then threw their heads back and laughed.
Lin Yun heard the mystery in these words and sneered: "Elder ***, right? You are telling me that you are not qualified to sit with the Eighth Prince, right?"
*** put on a posture that was neither humble nor arrogant, clasped his fists and said, "Young Master Lin gained the emperor's favor by betraying the Lin family. He will surely prosper in the future. Naturally, he is qualified to be on an equal footing with the Eighth Prince!"
"Hmph, what a eloquent old man! But you are wrong about one thing. This young master is not betraying the Lin family, but assisting the current emperor to destroy all your ambitious vassal families!"
"you!!"
*** was choked by his words and couldn't answer, so he could only raise his hand and point angrily at Lin Yun.
Lin Yun continued: "Okay! I am not in the mood to argue with you, the Lin family elders. Let me just tell you, what do you four want to talk to me about when you come all the way to Yucheng?"
Another elder of the Lin family said: "Lin Yun, the eldest elder was poisoned for no reason. It must be your fault! It's better to hand over the antidote! This is good for all of us, otherwise... as long as King Fengyang gives an order, all ten members of the Lin family will be killed." Tens of thousands of troops will crush your Niubei Village and this Yucheng and Haocheng!"
Lin Yun sneered and nodded, looked at the Eight Wise Kings and said, "Eighth Prince, did you hear clearly this time? It's not that I, Lin Yun, betrayed the Lin family, but that the Lin family wants to rebel!"
The face of the Lin family suddenly changed, and he knelt on the ground with a thud and said: "Eighth Prince, don't listen to this slutty boy's slander! The Lin family has always been loyal to the imperial court and has no second thoughts! It's just that this little thief has appeared in the family. Black and White, bewitching you and the Emperor! In fact, he just wants to seize the position of King Fengyang!"...
The Eight Wise Kings stood up and walked around him and said, "Well...listening to what you said, it does make some sense. This Lin Yun does look like a villain!"
"Yes, the Eighth Prince is wise!"
Before he realized that his words had angered the Eight Wise Kings, he was still complacent about his performance just now.
Not only was Lin Yun not angry, but his smile became even brighter. Through their interactions over the past few days, he knew very well how powerful the Eight Wise King was.
The Eight Wise Kings stopped, looked at him condescendingly, and asked, "What's your name?"
"Little old Lin Zhijian!"
"Oh! Since Elder Lin Zhijian said that he is loyal to the imperial court, can you explain why he just said that he would destroy Yucheng and Haocheng? Although these two cities are in Fengyang County, they are under the control of the imperial court, and you keep saying Loyalty to the imperial court, is that what loyalty is all about, right?”
Lin Zhijian looked embarrassed and said with a guilty conscience: "Just now, the little old man said
Wrong words! I hope the Eighth Prince doesn’t take offense! "
The Eight Sage King nodded and waved to Qi Rui, who was standing far away.
Qi Rui trotted forward, cupped his fists and said, "What is the order from the Eighth Prince?"
"Go, drag this Lin Zhijian out and chop him down!"
"I obey your orders!"
Afterwards, Qi Rui grabbed Lin Zhijian's back collar and dragged him out.
Lin Zhijian was shocked and struggled desperately.
But with his little strength, how could he be Qi Rui's opponent?
"Let me go! I am the elder of the Lin family. Even you, the Eight Wise Kings, are not qualified to kill me directly!"
While he was talking, Lin Zhijian was dragged out of the door and beheaded by an imperial guard. Blood spattered immediately and he died tragically on the spot.
The screams made the three elders tremble in fear.
*** Suppressing the fear of death, he asked: "Eighth Prince, what wrong did Elder Lin Zhijian do? Why did you kill him when you said you would? Don't you even have a reason?"
The Eight Wise Kings sneered: "Do we need a reason to kill you rebels? Just kill them. Does Elder *** have any objections?" ap...
By doing this, he sent a signal to the Lin family to wait for destruction.
Especially when the Eighth Sage King learned that Lin Fengjiao must die and the Fifth Prince was still on his way, he already had the answer in his heart.
Faced with the arrogance of the Eight Wise Kings, Wang's face turned dark and he didn't dare to say another word, for fear that he would be the next one to be beheaded.
Lin Yun stood up and said, "Mr. Wang, send the three of them down to rest! Remember to eat, drink, and greet them well! Don't let the Lin family think that we are arrogant!"
Wang Chuanzhong quickly clasped his fists and accepted the order, but he was very puzzled. Why didn't Lin Yun just kill them all? Why keep it?
At this time, the Eighth Sage King was a little unhappy and said in a deep voice, "Did Mr. Lin deliberately confront me?"
Lin Yun smiled and said: "The Eighth Prince thinks I am a kind of sanctimonious bad guy and hypocrite?"
"Then why do you keep them? Anyway, you have completely turned your back. Kill them and let the Lin family know our determination!"
Lin Yun playfully said: "They are more useful alive than dead! I will instigate them all to rebel, and then send them back to the Lin family. With the suspicious character of Fengyang King Lin Hetu, I will definitely kill them to vent their anger! Then... "
The Eight Wise King's eyes lit up: "You're such a loser! You don't want to be the executioner, but you let Lin Hetu be the villain?"
Qi Rui lamented: "Being Mr. Lin's enemy is really dangerous! Once Lin Hetu really starts killing his family, it will definitely be the straw that breaks the camel's back!"
At present, the senior leaders of the Lin Family Army have not yet emerged from the shadow of the poisonous killings, and it is almost impossible to find a suitable general in the short term.
