Fast Traveling Underworld Wish Department

Chapter 140
Wanyu's persuasion is just the beginning. The longer the Lin family has been in filial piety, the more she realizes the gap between the current Lin family and the previous Lin family.Wan Yu feels that if her father is here, the Lin residence must be full of guests now.

But the lack of guests is actually not a big deal. After all, they came here during the filial piety. What annoyed her was that with the end of the filial piety in the Lin family, the time to deal with the outside world increased, and there were more and more troubles. It doesn't feel smooth, like an unoiled door.

Li Shuzhen called Lin Xude over and said, "You have been studying for several years now, are you sure to give it a try?"

Lin Xude said honestly: "Mr. thinks that I am not talented enough, and I can only stop and raise people if I try my best."

"Then you pack your things and go back to your hometown to take the exam."

Li Shuzhen arranged for someone to take Lin Xude back to his hometown, and also wrote a letter to the patriarch, assuring that Lin Xude's trip back to his hometown would not be anything else.Lin Xude was honest and left the capital with a nervous mood.

Many things can happen in three years, especially in the ever-changing capital city.As the emperor got older, it became more and more distasteful to see the prince in his prime. The princes were harmonious on the surface, but the dark tide was even more turbulent behind their backs.

Mrs. Min said: "Now the situation in the capital is becoming more and more tense."

Knowing that Li Shuzhen had been away from the circle for a long time, the Duke of Fujian explained in detail: "The prince is orthodox, but he is not loved by the emperor. The fourth prince's mother and concubine are noble concubines, and he himself is favored, competing with the prince. The second prince is close to the military commander, and the third prince Get close to the civil servants, and the five or six princes who are growing up."

"The third prince too."

Mrs. Min Guogong lowered her voice and said: "Who knows, which prince doesn't want that seat. Didn't the emperor like poetry and books back then?"

That's true, from the surface, it seems that the third prince has no ambitions, he just wants to be a rich man, but if he is pretending to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, it is impossible to say for sure.

We can't talk too much about the affairs of the court, Mrs. Min Guogong said a few words to let friends know, so I won't mention it anymore.Turning to talk about Wan Yu.

The Duke of Fujian said, "Speaking of which, Wanyu is now old, so we can see her in advance."

Li Shuzhen smiled and said: "She's still young, we'll talk about it when I'm old. But Xu De, when he comes back from the exam, he should take a look."

Mrs. Min Guogong also knew that her friend had a nephew. Although she didn't understand her friend's attitude of raising a nephew as her own son, she still promised: "I will hold a banquet at that time, and you will come too."

During the filial piety period, Li Shuzhen sent people to investigate Ning Shilang, but Ning Shilang was like a rock with no flaws, and no news has come so far.Li Shuzhen is going to go out in person.

She found an opportunity to hypnotize Ning Shilang's personal servant, and that servant kept leaking Ning Shilang's secrets.It turned out that Ning Shilang was really a member of the third prince. She didn't hear about Ning Shilang killing Lin Zhiyuan, but this didn't mean that Ning Shilang was innocent. It might be that this servant didn't know.

After all, Ning Shilang was indeed very malicious towards the Lin family at the beginning, and this is not something that can be fooled by him being rigid.

So far, Li Shuzhen's investigation has come to an impasse, and she can't make a breakthrough from Ning Shilang, and she doesn't know if there will be any clues from the arrested Lin family clan members.

At this time, several members of the Lin family clan were about to be released from prison, and Li Shuzhen kept staring at them.The clan has already released them from the clan, so it depends on where they will go after they are released from prison.

At the same time, some of Li Shuzhen's properties were also forced to sell. A good location is destined to be short-lived without power to support it. For this, Li Shuzhen has long been prepared for the replacement of some properties.

After Li Shuzhen finished handling the property matters, she was surprised to find that the elders of the Lin clan who had expired were not released from prison. Did they die in prison?

Li Shuzhen went to visit the prison and found that not only the elders of the Lin family had died, but also the head of the Lin family who had not yet served his sentence.Li Shuzhen stuffed some money into the yamen servant and asked about the situation.

The yamen servant took the money, recalled for a while and said: "They tossed and fought with each other within a few months after they came in, and finally died of serious injuries."

Li Shuzhen felt a little cold in her heart, saying that the elders of the Lin clan blamed each other, and it was reasonable to do it, but she never believed that they would kill people if they pecked at each other. Besides, they were all imprisoned, how could they do it unscrupulously ?

The more I think about this matter, the more I think about it, and I am terrified, but death is the last thing to do, so don't even think about this breakthrough.Li Shuzhen had no choice but to keep an eye on Ning Shilang and Ning Shilang's in-laws. She even went to investigate the third prince and the third prince's concubine's natal family.

As for the Lin Mansion, she also began to search secretly to see if there was anything unusual.

The two-pronged approach, the first one to be effective is the Lin family. She found something from Lin Zhiyuan's belt.

In addition to Ning Shilang, there are many names, but Li Shuzhen doesn't recognize them, but this does not affect her use of this list to do things.She first gave a specious list to the fourth prince.

After getting the list, the fourth prince started an investigation, which confirmed the reliability of the list.But these people on the list do not belong to any force, and the fourth prince decided to win them over.

So the fourth prince saluted first and then fought, and persuaded them to serve him with good words. Of course, these officials refused. Who didn't have a master, wouldn't it be betrayal of the old master to vote for the fourth prince?The officials all said that they were royalists and were only loyal to the emperor.

The Fourth Prince was very happy, what he wanted was the Royalist faction, with these people who were obviously the Royalist faction but secretly the Fourth Prince's faction joining, wouldn't he be able to hide his position in the dark!
Failing to persuade them with good words, the fourth prince secretly leaked a piece of news. Whether you should vote for me or die is up to you.These officials were stunned by this development, and they temporarily slipped past it under the pretense of consideration.

Later, Li Shuzhen discovered that they began to secretly contact the third prince, some met by chance, some discussed calligraphy and painting openly, and there would be no problem in pulling one out alone, but for Li Shuzhen who knew the situation, everyone on the list had to meet the third prince. Prince, this is interesting!

Then Li Shuzhen disclosed the news of the list to the crown prince and the second prince, and their spies also "accidentally" discovered that the complete list was in the residence of Mr. Ning, the minister of household affairs.

After the prince learned about it, he planned to investigate the situation first and then report it, lest the emperor find fault with him again.The second prince couldn't wait any longer, and directly played the emperor's performance in the court hall, and at the same time arranged for people to go directly to Ning's mansion to search.

Li Shuzhen was suffocated by the second prince's manipulation, if she hadn't really put the list in Ning Shilang's study, the second prince's behavior would have hurt him.Li Shuzhen had to lament that some people, even if they tricked themselves, were not lenient.

Fortunately, the second prince did not succeed in trapping himself this time, and managed to find the list from Ning Shilang's mansion.The emperor didn't believe that Ning Shilang would know and not report, but now, the evidence is conclusive.

The emperor got the list, his face was calm, and he just asked everyone on the list to go home to rest, and Dali Temple and the Criminal Department intervened in the investigation.

The emperor said: "You have to do a good job of investigating, and give everyone a clear conscience. I will not wrong a good person, but I will never let a bad person go!"

When the emperor said this, his eyes scanned the faces of the officials inch by inch, making the guilty officials feel anxious.
