i have a suite in tang dynasty

When he was struggling with it, Chen Shilong couldn't help it anymore. He, Li Xiaogong and Hou Junji were the ones who demanded to arrest Lin Yu at first, but now that the latter has gone down, Lin Yu might be the next one to deal with him.

As the saying goes, it is better to strike first, so he said, "Your Majesty, this son has a violent temper and insults loyal officials of the court. According to the law, he will be slapped one hundred times. He will be detained for three months. Please learn from the emperor!"

Chapter 158

Li Tai strongly responded,

"My elder brother should be neat, how can he be insulted? On the contrary, the king of Hejian is cunning and deliberately designs to insult others."

Chen Shilong argued,

"However, this person's obscene language, saying such insulting words in front of the emperor, and attacking Hejian's royal anger, splashing blood in the hall, and disturbing the Holy Majesty, is a capital offense."

"Old man, did you eat human gold (dung) this morning? Your mouth stinks!"

Lin Yu scolded back directly, and he walked up to Chen Shilong.

The latter shouted, don't try to be fierce in front of the emperor, but kept backing his feet, obviously not even courageous.

Li Shimin couldn't stand it anymore, he always felt that when Lin Yu came, the originally solemn court became like a street juggler.

"enough!"

His plain voice was full of deterrence from the superior, Chen Shilong knelt down in response, and Lin Yu also stopped.

Li Shimin continued,

"Chen Aiqing is worrying too much. Li Aiqing is not in good health. Since she is already well, don't mention it again."

When everyone heard these words, they all thought they were beating Chen Shilong, so people valued Lin Yu even more.

Most of the previous worries were eliminated, and the younger officials quietly approached Lin Yu.

In terms of talent, many people present are actually higher than Lin Yu, but they have no chance to show it, so they can't buy it with great fanfare, right?

In terms of power, although Lin Yu is just a commoner, he obviously has the backing of the four princes, and after today, the emperor will definitely pay attention to him, and then he will reach the sky in one step, and he will only receive the grace of the sage.

Lin Yu with such prospects, how could those ministers not have a heart to make friends?

Then, Li Shimin asked again,

"In the beginning, you said that the officials of the imperial court are all worthless, what do you mean by that? Could it be that just because of their literary talents, you can easily slander the ministers who govern the country?"

Facing Li Shimin, Lin Yu responded righteously,

"Your Majesty, literary talent has little to do with governing the country. Even an old melon farmer can govern the country."

"Presumptuous, are you saying that us ministers who manage the world are not even as good as an old melon farmer?"

Chen Shilong accused.

At the same time, Hou Junji, who had been silent all this time, also opened his mouth. Whenever he thought of the aggrieved time when he was in front of Xinghualou, his heart felt like a weight was being weighed down.

"Lin Yu, are you really making fun of us courtiers like three-year-olds?"

If the other party didn't speak, Lin Yu wouldn't have noticed that there was such a person in the corner.

"Hey, isn't this Hou Shangshu?"

He said disdainfully,

"I don't dare to fool you. After all, you are a local tyrant who can throw 6000 taels of silver in the street just to buy a bottle of wine!"

"Thirty-two thousand taels!"

Some veterans were all shocked. In modern times, it is equivalent to tens of millions of yuan. So much money just to buy a bottle of wine?

The world of the rich is really not something the poor can understand.

There are also some ministers who lower their heads and hide their faces. They dare not comment, and they are not qualified. After all, how many of the officials in the court are clean?

Hou Junji's heart trembled when he heard it, and then he looked at Li Shimin's face, and he hurriedly argued:

"You spit on people, how can I have so much money? It should be realistic to slander people, right?"

"Hehe, Hou Shangshu is right. Your monthly salary is only 100 taels of silver, one year is 200 taels, ten years is 1 taels, and you can save 30 taels without eating or drinking for 6000 years. You See what I said, right?"

Hou Junji hesitated for a while, thinking to see what the other party could say, so he replied,

"Yes."

"That's weird. You have saved so much money for 30 years just to buy a bottle of wine? Are you out of your mind?"

Lin Yu asked, pointing to his temple.

Hou Junji said angrily,

"I said I didn't buy wine, so don't talk nonsense."

Lin Yu raised her head high with her hands behind her back,

"Hmph, fairness rests in the hearts of the people. Everyone can see clearly what you have done. If not, how about we find someone to testify against? The scene that day was crowded with people."

When Hou Junji heard this, he dared not answer.

Li Shimin frowned. He was not a fool. From the expressions on the two people's conversations, one could tell who was telling the truth.

Lin Yu continued,

"Your Majesty, although grassroots people should not be involved in government affairs, the people are really in dire straits, and I have to stand up."

"As the saying goes, who will go to hell if I don't go to hell? Since I'm standing here today, I don't think about going back alive. As long as the emperor can listen to my foolish words, eliminate scourges for the people, and benefit the people, then my life will be worth it." , and don't hesitate!"

This passage is so passionate and surging, it seems that there is a heart that must die for the country and the people.

Those old ministers were also fooled. I thought that this young man has such a selfless spirit, and he is much more loyal to the people than some ministers.

Li Shimin also nodded in admiration, so why didn't he know the tricks in the court?

But many ministers are like a big net, although everyone listens to him, but this gentle big net traps him firmly with rules.

No way, who made him the emperor?The ministers have a country and a country on the left, and a hundred people on the right. How can he have any ideas that are completely his own?

Just right, since someone dared to stand up today and point out the ills in the imperial court.

To Li Shimin, it was like getting a pillow just when he wanted to sleep, not to mention how comfortable it was.

Therefore, Li Shimin was very willing to use Lin Yu's hands to completely renovate the court hall, lest some moths would eat away at the rafters of the court, and there would be holes everywhere.

"Lin Jushi, according to what you said, Hou Aiqing has something wrong?"

"What's wrong with it?"

Lin Yu sneered, he looked at the evasive Hou Junji, and reprimanded,

"Hou Shangshu not only spent a lot of money, but also wanted to kill grassroots people in the street in order to win the beauty's smile! If Changsun Chong hadn't stopped him in time, I'm afraid I would be a dead bone now!"

Hou Junji was so frightened that his back was sweating. It's not that he didn't do these things, but they were definitely not that serious. But now it's obvious that the emperor has the intention of protecting Lin Yu, and he can't escape no matter what.

So he hastily knelt down,

"Your majesty, you have to investigate clearly. This kid is talking nonsense, and he has fabricated things that didn't exist. My minister... I have been wronged."

Li Shimin didn't speak, and turned his gaze to Lin Yu, and Lin Yu walked up to Hou Junji and asked,

"Hou Shangshu, since you said I wronged you, can you answer a few questions for me in front of the Holy One?"

Hou Junji was forced to nod his head, he felt timid in his heart, he didn't expect to be slapped by Lin Yu, thinking of this, he wished he could slap himself several times.

What was the fight for at the beginning, not to mention the wasted tens of thousands of taels of silver, and someone let it go.

He could see that Li Shimin had a heart for rectification, maybe Lin Yu was a pawn set by the emperor early on, just for today.

And if you can't get through today, you will die, and there is no possibility of rehabilitating.

Lin Yu asked,

"First, did you spend 6000 taels of silver in Xinghualou for a bottle of Penglai Xianjiu?"

"I……"

Just as Hou Junji was about to speak, Lin Yu said again,

"You think it through before answering. Don't think I'm unprepared. Sister Qing from Xinghualou is waiting outside, and there are a few people present. By the way, Fang Yiai and Changsun Chong were both there at the time. How about Shall we confront each other in court?"

Hou Junji wished he could stretch out his hand and strangle Lin Yu who was close at hand. The other party wanted to force him to death, leaving no room for survival at all.

"Yes, I admit"

Hou Junji responded feebly, and then said,

"But that Penglai Xianniang is really the best of the time, the only fine wine I have ever seen in my life. Everyone knows that I, Hou Junji, loves wine like my life. There is such a century-old, oh no, a good wine that is rare in a thousand years. No matter what, I want it Got it."

He did this just to play down the amount of money he spent, so that everyone would have the illusion that the wine was really worth the price.

Little did he know that what he said didn't bring him much benefit, but it was a free advertisement for Penglai Xianniang.

Later, the ministers of the court and the central government secretly sent people to Xinghualou to buy wine. Who knew that there were only four bottles of Penglai Xianjiu for special supply every day.

No matter who you are, come late, no is no.

This kind of hunger marketing made people suddenly push up the price of Penglai Xianniang to 5000 taels of silver a bottle.

As far as this is concerned, there is still a price but no market, many people line up to buy it, and there are even almost several forces, large and small, who have secretly fought several times.

Some of them are not bought for drinking, but for storage.I plan to resell it after it appreciates in value in the future, but that would be a waste of thousands of taels of silver.

Chapter 159, complaint

Lin Yu waited for him to finish speaking, then asked again,

"That day, the number one card in Xinghualou, is Miss Ziyun here?"

Hou Junji's pupils shrank suddenly, he seemed to have anticipated something, the other party was digging a hole for him, and asked him to jump into it step by step.

This answer is no, no answer is no, it is simply driving him to death.

Hou Junji turned his head away and said angrily,

"I don't know. I only thought about buying wine that day and didn't care about women."

"is it?"

Lin Yu snorted coldly,

"Then do you know what additional discounts are there for buying wine?"

Hou Junji broke out in a cold sweat, so he simply kept silent.

Lin Yu raised his head and said loudly to everyone,

"Sister Qing from Xinghualou said that the last person to buy Penglai Immortal Noodles can go to the dinner party with Miss Ziyun. I think everyone understands the meaning of this, right?"

"How do I know?"

Hou Junji quibbled, Lin Yu suddenly moved his face two inches in front of him, and the two of them stared at each other.

"If you don't know, how can you be so angry that you want to kill me in the street?"

Hou Junji had nowhere to vent his anger, but the other party was right in front of him, so he couldn't make a move yet.

He was so angry that he was trembling all over, and his calves were cramping.

"Lin Yu!"

Hou Junji shouted,

"I buy my wine, you want your woman, we don't mess with each other, why should I kill you?"

"Hmph, if you really bought wine, why did you buy it when the first two bottles were auctioned, instead of waiting for the third bottle? Do you think everyone is an idiot?"

Hou Junji, "..."

Seeing his ferocious face, Lin Yu backed away quickly, came to Li Tai's side, and said to Li Shimin,

"Your Majesty, I am afraid that Hou Junji is not for the wine, but for a girl in a flower house. Even if I let it go, I implore the Emperor to investigate the origin of the 6000 taels of silver."

Hou Junji finally couldn't bear it any longer. He knew that he was bound to die in the future. Anyway, he was going to die anyway. He might as well pull Lin Yu on his back, and finally vented his anger, so as not to live uneasy after death.

"Lin Yu, you spout blood, I'll kill you!"
