Rebirth as Princess Jin again

Situ Lin looked at him coldly, without any emotion in his words: "Isn't that what you think in your heart?"

Situ Yu hurriedly threw his whole body to the ground and said aggrievedly: "Father, I have wronged my son. I have never thought about the position of the East Palace."

Situ Lin almost couldn't hold back the anger that burst out from his heart. He looked coldly at his son who was kneeling on the ground with a submissive expression. He finally shook his head and said, "Okay, I'm in a bad mood today, so I'm speaking too harshly." , go and call Yin Shangshu in!"

"Yes, my son, please retire!" Situ Yu hurriedly bowed and left.

After a while, Yin Huai staggered in with trembling legs. When he saw Situ Lin plopped down on his knees, he cried out: "Please make the decision for me, and give justice to my son!"

Situ Lin covered his lips and coughed and said: "I understand your feelings, but there are still many suspicious things about this matter. Now that the witness is dead, the prince is not the person behind the scenes. I promise you that I will definitely find out the truth and return the favor." You are fair."

Yin Huai supported his body, raised his head with difficulty and cried: "Your Majesty, even if the prince is not the person behind the scenes, he is still responsible for his lax discipline, which makes the people below him commit such wrong things. But now the emperor just imprisons the prince in a house." If the East Palace does not impose any punishment, it will really chill the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty!"

Seeing that Yin Huai spoke with such disregard for the facts and paranoidly believed that the prince had done this, Situ Lin couldn't help but feel a little angry, but he still held back his temper and said, "It's not that I mean to be biased, but the prince has a pure nature and is by no means a person who does many evil things."

"The gold was found from the Crown Princess's dowry village. The tea seller was a relative of the Crown Princess, and the person who ran the shop was the Crown Prince's personal bodyguard. The Emperor knew this, but he still deliberately protected the East Palace! It's really shocking. Old minister is heartbroken!"

When the princes and princes on the side saw this, they hurriedly scolded: "How dare Yin Shangshu speak to the emperor like this!"

Yin Huai laughed at himself: "The old minister had a son in his later years, and his only son died in an unknown way. From the moment the old minister entered the palace and knelt in the imperial study room, he had the heart to die, even if he went with my son. Hell, I must seek justice for my son."

Situ Lin looked at the stubborn man in front of him and said expressionlessly: "Thank you for being the Minister of the Ministry of Justice for so many years. You are getting more and more confused as you get older. You didn't investigate that Su Zhong was hanged in prison for no reason. You are so stupid to put all the blame on the prince based on a confession that cannot be distinguished from the truth."

Yin Huai was naturally unconvinced by his remarks, which touched Situ Lin's extremely cold face. He finally softened his words: "Although I am the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, I arrest people based on evidence. Now all the evidence points to the prince. Even if the emperor loves the prince no matter how much he does, he should not prevent the prince from being interrogated just to protect the prince."

Situ Lin's eyes swept across Yin Huai's face, and he stared at him with cold eyes and said: "Yin Huai, I used to think that you would have a son when you were old, so I turned a blind eye to the things in your house, but now It seems that I have indulged you too much, and now you are so proud of me. Instead of staying in your position to review the case, you colluded with the prince with the intention of murdering the prince. How brave you are!"

Yin Huai was frightened and overwhelmed by this sudden accusation. When he came to his senses, he quickly shouted his injustice: "Your Majesty, I have never changed my original intention, and I have absolutely no selfish motives."

Looking at Yin Huai who was kneeling on the ground and crying out for injustice, Situ Lin laughed angrily: "You will not change your original intention? Do you really think that I know nothing about the things outside when I sit in this position?"

Then he took out a memorial and threw it in front of Yin Huai, and said coldly: "Take a good look at it, how many women your son has harmed in the capital over the years, it's not that the relatives of those women did not report the crime, but They were all suppressed by you. You indulged your family members, turned a blind eye to the grievances of the people, and used your power for personal gain."

"I have sent people to investigate a long time ago. Your son did not die from poppy poison. He spent many years in a brothel and his body was already hollowed out. The real cause of his death was not an overdose of poppy, but excessive indulgence in sex."

"And in order to vent your anger, you imprisoned the entire brothel in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, tortured them, and forced them to admit that your son died from an overdose of poppy."

"I have verified with the imperial doctor that the amount of poppy in the tea will only make people addicted and will not cause death. Do you dare to say that you have no knowledge of this matter? Or are you simply unwilling to accept your son being so embarrassed? He died in such a way that he allowed others to use him as a pawn to drag the prince into trouble."

"I know that since the prince has been in charge of the government, a censor has written a summary of your son's actions and submitted it to the prince. The prince has reprimanded you many times, and you have become dissatisfied. Through the death of your son, Take revenge on the prince!"

Yin Huai picked up the folder on the ground with trembling hands, and the more he saw the end, the more panicked he became.

But now that his son is dead, the prince is still holding on to his affairs. If the prince is allowed to take power, his official career will stop here. With the prince's temperament, if he is really allowed to become the emperor, I am afraid that the Yin family will be in trouble for hundreds of years. Your good reputation will be destroyed in his hands.

He came back to his senses and repeatedly shouted that he was wronged: "Your Majesty, I know that my son is a bastard. Even if I have selfish motives because of my son's death, the prince has committed suicide and the evidence of the gold theft is conclusive. The prince's current behavior is not worthy at all." For the position of crown prince, please ask the emperor to appoint a wise person."

"A wise person..." Situ Lin said these words slowly. After a moment, he said coldly: "So the wise person you think is the third prince?"

"Your Majesty, I don't dare, but since the third prince took charge of the Criminal Department, he has worked hard and is very concerned about the prince's case. If the emperor carefully cultivates him, given time, he will never be inferior to the prince."

Yin Huai knew that he could not directly accept Situ Lin's words, so he had to praise the third prince from the side.

Situ Lin took the tea handed over by Wang Gonggong. The tea was so foggy that he could not clearly see the expression on his face for a while.

Yin Huai didn't dare to look up at him, so he had to lower his head.

After a while, when Yin Huai was getting anxious from waiting, a deep voice sounded in the hall.

"I remember that Yin Shangshu is now sixty-eight years old. After working hard for so many years, and now experiencing the pain of losing his son, I think this body is not as good as before. Now it is time to enjoy peace and happiness and enjoy his old age. I understand. As you feel the pain of losing your son, I will send someone to send you back to your hometown early tomorrow morning."

Yin Huai raised his eyes and looked at Situ Lin in disbelief. He did not expect that Situ Lin handled the matter in such a clean and tidy way, and actually chose to silence him by dismissing him from office.
