The Hou family's legitimate daughter died tragically and went to the palace, and then she was r

Behead!

This is the punishment for those who commit heinous crimes.

Lin Qingyun, a dignified young master from the Hou family, was now in this situation. He didn't know what to say.

"No, no, your majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty, please forgive me. I know I was wrong."

After hearing the news, Lin Qingyun couldn't hold himself tight immediately, with fear and fear on his face.

He didn't want to die, nor did he want to be beheaded.

He immediately shouted loudly, but before he could say a few words, Yang Ming held a cloth ball and stuffed his mouth.

The crime has been committed, and now there is no need for Lin Qingyun to say anything more.

The officials in the palace didn't have much reaction. After all, they have become accustomed to this kind of thing after they have experienced it a lot.

"Your Majesty is wise. Lin Qingyun has done all kinds of evil and deserves this punishment."

King Zhao was the first to praise the emperor, and after the others reacted, they also spoke one after another.

"Your Majesty is wise. Thank you for taking the decision. Your Majesty is wise."

The middle-aged man from Wujiacun, the young guards, and Xiaojiu's mother and son all knelt and kowtowed to the emperor.

Even Lin Jinglan could not have imagined that Lin Jinglan would make a decision so quickly when the evidence was solid.

But the big reason for this is probably that his father didn't want to save Lin Qingyun.

That's why the emperor had no scruples and directly ordered the beheading.

"Your Majesty, Lin Qingyun has committed such a heinous crime. As the father of Dingbei Houfu, there is no way he can escape responsibility. And it is not clear whether he is innocent or not. Your Majesty, please take a closer look."

King Zhao suddenly addressed the emperor again.

According to common sense, Lin Xiaotian must be held responsible for this matter.

If the emperor holds a grudge against the Hou Mansion, then the entire Dingbei Hou Mansion cannot be saved.

But Lin Jinglan knew clearly that no matter what King Zhao said, the emperor would not do anything to the Dingbei Hou Mansion, let alone make Lin Xiaotian pay a high price.

"What King Zhao said is true. Marquis Dingbei has a poor upbringing and a lax governance. He indeed has an inescapable responsibility. If he is not punished, he will definitely not be able to convince the public."

The emperor also nodded, agreeing with King Zhao's words.

"Father, please forgive me."

Lin Jinglan knelt behind Lin Xiaotian, and he could already see the slightest trace of nervousness and trembling in him.

Her good father might be afraid.

She reached out and pulled his sleeve and reminded him softly.

Lin Xiaotian finally realized what he was doing and hurriedly kowtowed to the emperor with a sad and self-reproaching look on his face.

"I also ask your Majesty to convict you. Although it was Lin Qingyun who did it at this time, since I am a father and a general, I cannot escape. I am willing to be punished. I also ask your Majesty to convict me. I am willing to die to atone for my sins."

When he said the last sentence, Lin Xiaotian knelt on the ground and touched his head to the ground, unable to stand up for a long time.

"Hey, Lin Qing..."

The emperor looked at Lin Xiaotian's appearance and sighed softly. He wanted to say something, but he still shook his head and did not finish.

"Your Majesty, although Marquis Dingbei is responsible at this time, he was not responsible for the matter after all. I believe that if Marquis Dingbei knew that his son had done such a thing, he would definitely not let Lin Qingyun live until now."

Perhaps because of his in-law relationship, King Jin was always protective of Lin Xiaotian when he spoke.

"Do you think so, Marquis Dingbei?"

The last sentence was kicked to Lin Xiaotian again.

"What King Jin said is, if I had known that this traitor had done such a sinful thing, I would have killed him with a knife. From now on, I will never have such an unworthy descendant as Lin Qingyun in Dingbeihou Mansion, and Lin Qingyun will no longer be my Lin Xiaotian's." son."

When Lin Xiaotian saw someone speaking to him, he immediately continued speaking.

Perhaps it was because Lin Qingxue had been expelled from the family before, but this time the matter of expelling Lin Qingyun from the family and severing the relationship was done very smoothly.

After hearing this, Lin Qingyun opened his eyes wide and looked at his biological father in disbelief.

He actually expelled himself from the family and severed ties with it.

"Your Majesty, the ancestors of the Dingbei Hou Mansion accompanied my ancestors of the Gu family to conquer the Chu Kingdom and made great military exploits. Their subsequent descendants were all bloody on the battlefield, even Dingbei Hou himself was the same. Today's Young Master Lin is even more so in the Western Territory. The legal principle of resisting the enemy is nothing more than human kindness, so please be patient, Your Majesty."

After King Jin said a long sentence, he bowed and asked.

In fact, what King Jin said was enough for the emperor to be more open to the Dingbei Hou Mansion.

According to the contribution made by the Lin family to Da Chu, it still mattered. As long as they did not commit serious crimes of collaboration with the enemy and treason, the emperor would not kill them all.

What's more, her father never expected that the Lin family still controls Wushang Camp. If nothing unexpected happens, Dingbei Hou Mansion will coexist with Wushang Camp.

This is probably also a life-saving charm given to the Lin family by the founding emperor.

"What the emperor brother said is true. This matter has nothing to do with Ding Beihou. However, punishment is still necessary. Let's fine Ding Beihou three years of salary."

Three years' salary, for the leader of a wealthy family, this is basically like no punishment.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I am deeply grateful. In the future, I will serve the great Chu people and die with all my heart."

Lin Xiaotian felt happy and hurriedly thanked the emperor.

However, this appearance made Lin Jinglan on the side feel a little disdainful. When had the Dingbei Marquis of the Lin family become so groveling and trying to please others?

Her father was simply not worthy of inheriting the title of Marquis of Dingbei.

Then the emperor comforted the complainants and gave them some silver coins as compensation.

But who needs them now?

Everyone is already dead, and there is no use keeping any money.

"Come here, take Lin Qingyun down and execute him in three days."

The emperor waved his hand and did not look at Lin Qingyun again.

"Lin Qing, just take Jinglan back first and don't go to court in the next month."

This is to ask Lin Xiaotian to think about his mistakes behind closed doors.

"Yes, I retire."

After Lin Xiaotian saluted, he left with Lin Jinglan.

I didn't dare to ask Lin Qingyun again.

After returning to the carriage, Lin Xiaocai breathed a sigh of relief.

After calming down for a while, he looked at Lin Jinglan, with a hint of admiration slowly appearing in his eyes.

"Jinglan, today, thanks to the reminder of being a father."

Several times, when Lin Xiaotian couldn't make up his mind, it was Lin Jinglan who reminded him.

"What can I say, father? We, father and daughter, share weal and woe as a family. Naturally, I have to consider the entire Dingbei Hou Mansion."

Lin Jinglan smiled slightly.

She was determined to secure the Beihou Mansion, but there was absolutely no possibility that she had any good intentions for Lin Xiaotian.

It's just that it's not his turn yet.

Then Lin Xiaotian thought of Lin Qingyun, and his face became even more ugly.

"It's a pity that your second brother is destined to be hopeless this time."
