Chapter 399 Extrajudicial Grace

"Five hundred gold? Do you think the Heshi Bi is worth 500 gold? Haha, a copy of Yan Liben's "Journal of the Tribute" is worth 500 gold! A copy of Wang Xizhi's "Preface to the Lanting Collection" or a fan of Gu Kaizhi's ladies' fan is worth ten thousand gold! And the value of the Heshi Bi is worth equated to all the gold and silver you found from Gefu!"

Wu Zetian sneered, thinking that Zhang Lin was too ignorant, and at the same time guessed that his purpose of belittling the value of Heshi Bi was nothing more than to save his friend. She had the right to pardon for a death row prisoner. She just wanted to see how he would beg her to beg for mercy.

"Emperor, since the Heshi Bi has such high value, when the flood disaster refugees in Jiangzhou have no food to eat and the granary has no grain to send, should the disaster victims be allowed to live by touching the Heshi Bi? When the silver treasury is empty and there is no way to pay the court officials, should the ministers not have to give silver? When the Turkic army invaded, can they take out the Heshi Bi and make the enemy automatically withdraw from the Great Zhou territory?"

Zhang Lin said slowly, when he talked to the emperor, he could not do anything to verbalize like Li Zhaode. Even so, he still had to explain the truth in it thoroughly. Heshi Bi was not that useful.

After hearing this, Wu Zetian smiled and said, "Junbao, what you meant, do you want me to release the Handan letter who stole the Heshi Bi? But his punishment was decided by me personally, and my decision was made in gold and jade, so it was not easy to change it casually."

Zhang Lin was very discouraged when he heard this, but he still begged politely: "Master, I don't want you to let the letter of Handan be for nothing, but I hope you can give him a chance to redeem his sins."

"What kind of credit can he make, a thief?" Wu Zetian frowned and looked at Zhang Lin, then raised his eyebrows and asked and answered himself, "Unless he can return the Heshi Bi!"

If Feitian Biao can return the Heshi Bi back, do I still need to talk to you? Zhang Lin muttered in his heart, and at the same time he thought secretly what kind of contribution would save Han Xin from the execution. Let Han Xin sneak out of the capital and let him assassinate Li Zhaode when he was planning? This is a good contribution, but the question is, can Wu Zetian let Han Xin go out of the city?

After eating a few bites of food in a quiet voice, Zhang Lin's mind flashed with an idea immediately. He looked up at Wu Zetian and said with a simple smile:

"Your Majesty, have you asked before how I found Tibetan silver from Black Bear Valley? At that time, I was ashamed to know Han Xin and others, so I was embarrassed to mention his name on the emperor! I can now tell you solemnly that the Tibetan silver cave was told by Han Xin. Also, he also told me the gold mine in the Little Qinling Mountains. However, he only told me about the general direction of the gold mine in the Little Qinling Mountains and did not tell me the specific location. It is still very difficult to find the small Qinling Mountains as big as that. If he could lead the way, it would be much easier to find it."

Zhang Lin's meaning is very obvious, and he attributed his contribution to the discovery of Tibetan silver and gold mines to Fei Tianbiao. These two items combined are enough to match the dirty money found in Gefu, which should be less than the value of the Heshi Bi mentioned by Wu Zetian.

Of course, Wu Zetian didn't believe Zhang Lin's words. It was very easy for her to verify them. As long as she sent someone to Tianzhu to interrogate Fei Tianbiao, she would know the answer. But she didn't do that. Since Zhang Lin put such a great contribution on Handan's head, it means that the latter has a high status in his heart, and she couldn't resist his face too much.

Wu Zetian pondered for a while and finally nodded: "So, I will show my kindness outside the law and postpone his punishment until after autumn! If he did not return the Heshi Bi at that time, he would have to blame himself!"

It is beyond Zhang Lin's desire to have such an attitude.

The value of Heshi Bi in Wu Zetian's mind exceeded the tax revenue of the entire court for one year, and Fei Tianbiao clearly knew the whereabouts of Heshi Bi, but he did not say that, which made no one willingly pardon him. The necessary prerequisites are still needed.

There are still a few months left after autumn, and there are endless possibilities in the middle.

Zhang Lin felt that he would come forward and mobilize the entire Dongchang to explore from multiple sources, and perhaps he could find the whereabouts of Heshi Bi!

"I am thanking the emperor for his kindness!" Zhang Lin said calmly, but his heart was trembling with joy. He knew that this was due to his subconscious mind, which shows that Feitianbiao was in an extremely important position for his predecessor.

~~~

Zanyang Palace.

Xue Huaiyi was wearing a gold armor and a golden helmet, and he was rehearsing what he said during the war tomorrow, his steps he walked, and his momentum and expressions he showed!

You must be passionate when speaking, you must take steps in all directions, and you must be proud. Xue Huaiyi practiced so vigorously.

At this moment, several of his brothers Shen Nanmiao, Wang Zhiwen and Xue Aocao came together to congratulate him:

"Congratulations to the eldest brother for taking charge of the military supervisor of the 100,000 army! Not only did such a beautiful person, not only did Zhang Zhang not get the two, but even Zhang Lin, who was in the limelight, did not have the chance to be the one whom the emperor believed most, but the eldest brother!"

"This time, my elder brother was pressing on the head of the Prime Minister Li Zhaode of the dynasty. This honor and status are probably unprecedented and no one will come later! After returning, you will be the leader of the harem! Er Zhang can only stand on one side. Zhang Lin can only stand on the two sides!"

"Those birdmen in the Crane Control Supervisor are just a ball! Our Dragon Division Supervisor has a high status! When the eldest brother comes back, our Dragon Division Supervisor will become the mainstream, and it should be expanded at that time!"

"Good words! Haha..." Xue Huaiyi laughed loudly, and said proudly: "Brothers, the Sa family can have today, and cannot do without the support of the brothers! When the Sa family reunites, they will definitely bring you a lot of spoils, the Turkish night pearl, the sweat-blooded BMW, and the Persian women. There is no place to put it in the palace, haha! As for the three, I will bring some Turkic colors to them, haha. Give them a slut! As for whether the Dragon Master Prison is to expand, it must be expanded, but there is no need to recruit new brothers and pull the Crane Control Prison over!"

"Thank you first for your generosity! You can book a sweat-blooded BMW first!"

"When the eldest brother returns to the triumphant day, I guess the younger brothers in the Crane Control Supervisor will be impatient to surrender to our Dragon Master Supervisor!"

"In my opinion, the first person to join our Dragon Division Prison is Li Peiyi, the Marquis of Yongqing! His father is all subordinates of his elder brother, so what else can he hesitate about! Haha..."

After talking and laughing, Long Doctor Shen Nanmiao bowed and said with a smile:

"Brother will go to war tomorrow. The emperor will definitely be at the Zanyang Palace tonight. I will leave!"

Xue Huaiyi thought so in his heart, and nodded proudly:

"Second brother, please go slowly, don't send me off!"

"I'm going to leave too!"

Xue Aocao said in a whispering whisper. His face was pale and his body was extremely weak, even worse than those authentic eunuchs. It was probably because Di Renjie's skills were not good and his cutting was not thorough, which caused some sequelae.

"Brother, I..." Wang Zhiwen wanted to speak but stopped, and hesitant and anxious expression appeared on his face.
