Chapter 247

Also shocked by this sudden news was King Yong.

Sun Lin gritted his teeth and looked at the officials who came to report the news, and his face was extremely gloomy: "Are you saying that even the Minister of the Bian was taken away by the Tiqi of the Censorate? Where did they get the courage?"

"That's right...that's right." The man swallowed his mouth and said with some difficulty, "According to the news from the Censorate, this time it was a strict order from General Jiang, and even the other Censors dared not dissuade him."

This sentence shocked King Yong's body: "Jiang Wenying... Didn't he always regard himself as an isolated minister and never interfere with disputes in the court? Why can't he get along with me this time? Is he... he also turned to the prince?" In a panic, he expressed the greatest anxiety in his heart.

The officials in front of him did not dare to take on this sentence, so they could only remain silent as if they were inaudible. After getting up and strolling, King Yong suddenly shook his head: "Impossible, Jiang He has always been deeply trusted by his father, so he will never make a bias at this time." Then his expression tightened again, "Is it..." A thought that made him feel even more frightened came up, and now he really dared not think about it anymore.

"Come here, prepare a car for me. I want to go to the Censorate!" King Yong felt uneasy and had to meet Bian Xuedao in person. A sentence came out, and the people below were naturally busy organizing, but before he could leave the hall, several officials came together. As soon as they knew his decision, they all stopped him: "Your Highness, no!"

"Huh?" King Yong looked at the confidants in front of him, and his expression became more and more serious. "Do you also know the news about the Ministry of Revenue?"

"That's right." The first person to speak was Feng Mo, the Minister of Justice. Others are as their name, and they are usually silent. At this time, they are also concise and concise. "Your Highness, if you go to the Censorate at this time, it will not only be of no help, but will also put yourself in a disadvantageous situation."

Immediately, another official from the Ministry of Personnel followed and said, "Yes, Your Highness, the case has just been mentioned, it is hard to say who is right or wrong. If you suddenly go to the Censorate, you will only give people a guilty feeling. Moreover, you also know that Jiang Wenying is. Except for Your Majesty, he will not sell anyone's face. Even if you go, you may not be able to see the Minister of the Bian."

"Your Highness thinks twice." The other people also bowed and persuaded them hard.

Under the full dissuasion of these Yongwang Party members, Yongwang finally calmed down and said in a deep thought: "You are right, but I am a little too anxious and should not take the initiative to go to the Censorate."

At the same time, I was even more alert. I had been used to being smooth sailing over the years, and my mentality changed. Whenever something went wrong, I would become anxious. If they hadn't arrived in time to persuade me, I would have made a big mistake.

At this moment, he bowed to everyone sincerely: "Thank you, sir, for reminding me that Sun Lin has received the teachings. However, the current situation is very unfavorable to us. My father had attacked the Ministry of Justice and took away General Guan's garrison position. I am really worried that my father had been bewitched by someone, and suddenly he wanted to help the prince up again."

This is the biggest worry in King Yong's heart, because in recent months, there have been a series of accidents among his party, which has caused everyone to be in trouble. Now, this incident in the Ministry of Revenue has occurred, and anyone will feel panic.

"Your Highness's mood minister can naturally understand it, but this matter is unhurried after all. What we need to do now is to wait and see. We must also have confidence in the Bian Shigong. He has always been loyal to Your Highness. Even if something really makes a mistake, it will not involve you."

"You are certainly good, but the facts are too great..." King Yong was still worried, "Once you are really convicted, it's not a joke."

"Then I can only wait. If you do more things like this, you will make more mistakes. I didn't agree with Your Highness to take this dangerous move, but now it's true that something is going to happen." Feng Mo said in a deep voice, "But I also believe that he must have a backup plan and can always protect himself."

"I am not convinced by the Minister of the Bian, but not only him is doing this, but also Li Ling, a small official from the Ministry of Revenue, may not be reliable."

"Then I can only throw him out." Feng Mo immediately glanced at him and suggested, "Abandoning the soldiers and protecting the car is our best choice. I think the minister of the Bian will also understand the importance of it. As for Li Ling, a mere conscientious official, he would never dare to speak nonsense and be completely enemies of His Highness. If His Highness is still worried, he can send a message to the people in the Censorate to let him understand the importance of it."

After a few words, he finally calmed down King Yong for a while, and after some contemplation, he nodded and responded: "Just do what you said. I think they will definitely keep a close eye on the side of the assistant minister. Then start with this Li Ling, and it is best to ask him to bear all his sins."

"The official understands that I will let you get things done and never leave any trouble!"

Even though they had already come up with a response, everyone did not leave, but continued to talk to King Yong until the sky was pale, and they all slept in the guest room behind for an hour.

...

Compared with the environment of Yongwang and others outside, Li Ling, who was locked in a cell, was much harder.

I didn't feel it too much at first, but as late at night, it was so uncomfortable that this dress was wet by the rain against my body. In addition, cold wind poured into the gap above my head from time to time and blew on my body, which made Li Ling tremble for a long time. It was not until the sky was a little brighter that he closed his eyes slightly.

Then he was awakened by the clanging sound of iron chains. As soon as the door opened, a servant shouted at him with a gloomy expression: "Come out, you're going to be tried!" There was no respect or politeness to the officials at all.

Li Ling stood up with some difficulty in supporting the wall and moved out with difficulty. Only after the other party's urging, did he get out of the cell. At this time, the colleagues detained in other rooms also looked weak and walked out with a bland pace. Although it only took one night, these people were greatly damaged from their bodies to their souls.

The officers next to them had no intention of letting them communicate or rest at all, and immediately urged, "Why are you going to go quickly. The adults are still waiting to ask questions!" As he said that, he waved the stick in his hand and made a scream, which scared the officials so much that they didn't even dare to communicate with their eyes, so he lowered his head and walked out with them.

Li Ling was controlled by someone. Just as he was thinking about how to deal with it later, a low voice sounded in his ears: "Li Ling, Li Guanzheng?"

Li Ling was slightly stunned and looked at the servant beside him, but the latter did not look at him and whispered: "I was ordered by His Highness Yong to pass on a message to you. If you don't want to cause disaster to yourself and your family, you will be able to bear all your mistakes when you arrive in the church later. Don't worry, as long as you take all the charges, Your Highness will definitely not treat you badly. In a few years, you can still be an official in the court. Do you understand?"

A light flashed in Li Ling's eyes. As expected, he was here, abandoning his horse and protecting the car! It seemed that in King Yong's eyes, he was a pawn who could sacrifice at any time, and this time he actually pulled out his family to threaten him.

The officer did not wait for Li Ling to give the answer, and quickly urged: "Hurry up!"

The light in Li Ling's eyes quickly disappeared at this moment, and followed the team expressionlessly, and soon arrived at the hall that was determined to be used for interrogation yesterday.

At this time, dozens of Censorate officials had gathered inside and outside the hall. Not only Jiang He and other major officials were present, but the small officials in the yamen also gathered here. Everyone looked at the group of officials who had obviously made great mistakes with cold or contemptuous eyes and were escorted up, and then whispered and said something.

The eyes of many young officials kept falling on Li Ling. It was obvious that they already knew his identity, and most of them were gloating. Only Tao Yun looked solemn, and his eyes were filled with confusion and anger.

When he arrived at the stone steps in front of the hall, Li Ling and the others were stopped again. Then, as someone came in to report, a slap of a gavel sound came from inside. A moment later, another shout came from: "Lu You, the criminal official, the Ministry of Revenue, entered..."

But he had to interrogate them one by one, which made the officials' expressions even more nervous, and Lu You trembled even more. But under the urging of the officers beside him, he still staggered up to the twenty-stop stone steps, crossed the high threshold, and entered the hall.

Soon, the slap of a gavel sounded again in the hall, and there were several majestic shouts: "Do you know your guilt?... Do you know how many soldiers and people died on the battlefield just because you wait for your own selfishness?"

These words came out, which made the people waiting outside feel the pressure doubled, and several of them began to tremble violently. Soon after, they were all in the hall for interrogation. As fewer and fewer people, the panic on the faces of these Ministry of Revenue officials became more and more obvious.

In the end, Li Ling was left alone and stood under the steps. Although his face turned pale, only he knew that this was not caused by fear, but because of the cold last night. If he couldn't take a good hot bath and drink a cup of ginger tea today, he would be afraid that he would be infected with the cold.

Just as he was thinking about it, another snap sound in the hall, and then it came out: "The criminal Li Ling came to the hall!"

Without urging, Li Ling had already walked up the stairs to the intimidating lobby. When he arrived at the door, he squinted his eyes and glanced at the situation inside, but found two officials with red official robes, heavy faces as deep as water, and extraordinary demeanor were sitting on the left and right. On the left were soldiers holding swords and guns, and on the side were those colleagues who had already broken their courage.

However, what surprised him was that Ren Fan, whom he knew, was not here. The Minister of Justice Bian, who should have been a prisoner, was sitting at the lower head of the case trial official. There was a cup of tea on the coffee table next to him, looking as if he was treated as a judge.
