After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness
Chapter 58: Prime Minister Wang's Protection
Xiao Xuetang's words immediately caused a huge uproar!
"Didn't Ye Jin say that he was born into a hidden noble family? How could he be a refugee?"
"Mrs. Xiao said it herself, how could it be wrong? This must be a lie made up by Ye Jin to raise his own status."
"As the saying goes, a hero is not judged by his origin. Even if Miss Jin was born in a humble family, she is able to become famous in Jingzhou as a woman, earn money and be independent, so she is also a heroine."
In the crowd, there was someone who was standing up for Ye Jin. He was a scholar wearing a Confucian scarf.
Xiao Xuetang recognized him. He was one of Lin Shaoshu's staff members and Mr. Wen's apprentice...
In his previous life, Ye Jin had won the favor of many people by being a self-reliant person, but in this life...
"Yes, the Marquis of Yong'an was the governor of Jingzhou at the time. He held the power of life and death over the area. It shouldn't be difficult for him to use his position to support his adopted daughter and make her the richest person in the area."
The onlookers accidentally revealed the truth.
Now the expressions of Xiao Yi and Ye Jin, father and daughter, were no longer just gloomy...
At this moment, a message came from the gatehouse, saying, "My Lord, Prime Minister Wang and the King of Runan have arrived!"
Then, Prime Minister Wang and Prince of Runan, who both looked shrewd, came over. Beside the pot-bellied Prince of Runan was the beautiful Lady Nan.
In this farce, Xiao Yi's eyes accidentally fell on Madam Nan and her husband, and he felt a stab in his heart...
Behind Prime Minister Wang were several civil servants from the Imperial Censorate. He did not greet Xiao Yi, but looked at Lin Xun and said with a smile, "Your Highness, the Marquis of Yong'an is a great contributor to the suppression of the rebellion in the northwest. How could you bring people from the Imperial Censorate to raid the place without informing His Majesty?"
"You have been in Kyoto for only half a month, and the Imperial Censorate has already raided three mansions on your orders. If this continues, people who don't know the truth will think that this Imperial Censorate is not the Emperor's, but yours..."
The one thing that Prime Minister Wang didn't say publicly, but everyone knew was...
"This world does not belong to the emperor, but to the regent."
Xiao Xuetang took a deep breath and didn't dare to look at Lin Xun's expression in fear. She only dared to look at Tianshu who was beside Lin Xun.
They both saw the curse words in each other's eyes...
Bah, what a sinister and cunning old man!
Although Xiao Xuetang was a little afraid of Lin Xun because of that difficult dream.
But over the years, whether it was Lin Xun guarding the border to quell the rebellion in the north, allowing the people to live and work in peace, or he was turning the tide to seize power from the eunuchs and restore order to the court.
He has no regrets towards his country and his people!
However, some people were afraid that he held great power and was more powerful than his master, so they tried every means to throw dirty water on Lin Xun and kill him.
The Wang family’s East Palace is the first among them.
Don't be fooled by Prime Minister Wang's smiling face, he is actually a hypocritical and smiling tiger. With just a few words, he put a big hat on Lin Xun.
No one present spoke up for Lin Xun, because the regent was so unpopular!
Qi Yusheng, the only person who was on good terms with the Regent, was not there. Although Tianshu had a sharp tongue, he was a member of the Regent's Mansion after all. If he explained on behalf of his master, he would be caught by the people of the Censorate.
Don’t think he doesn’t know the purpose of Prime Minister Wang bringing those censors with him this time!
Just when Tianshu was gnashing his teeth in anger, and was being tricked by this old guy again, he heard the girl behind Lin Shaoshu speak timidly...
"Weren't the people from the Criminal Investigation Bureau visiting our mansion today? How come you, the old Prime Minister, said that the guests were the ones who wanted to confiscate our property? I am a timid person, please don't scare me."
After saying this, Xiao Xuetang touched his chest, looking frightened and weak.
Tianshu was surprised, then came back to his senses and gave Xiao Xuetang a grateful look.
He didn't expect that Kyoto was not afraid of his master's fierce reputation and even spoke up for his master. He was so moved that he almost cried!
This Miss Xiao is really beautiful and kind-hearted.
Prime Minister Wang's face froze and he looked at Xiao Xuetang with an unfriendly gaze, but was blocked by Lin Shaoshu.
Lin Shaoshu said softly: "Prime Minister, today is a big day for the Marquis's Mansion, please do not involve other people in the affairs of the court."
Prime Minister Wang looked at Lin Shaoshu, a sly gleam flashed in his eyes, and after a moment he said, "I didn't know the Third Prince was here, and I wanted to be rude just now, but what the Third Prince said is right. Today I came here to hear that there is some progress in the case of the military herbal medicine."
Lin Xun said calmly: "The Prime Minister is really well-informed."
If Qi Yusheng were here at this moment, he would definitely be so angry that he would curse his mother.
Since the Xie family was exiled five years ago, the cabinet has been dominated by Prime Minister Wang and the Wang family. The officials in the cabinet are all mediocre people. They are not good at doing things on weekdays, but they are first-rate at grabbing credit.
Emperor Yonghui was very concerned about the suppression of the rebellion in Jingzhou, so the Eastern Palace and the Wang family also wanted to intervene.
But as to whether it was because of stealing credit or they had something to hide, only the Wang family themselves knew the answer!
Prime Minister Wang is indeed an old fox who has been in the court for many years. Facing Lin Xun's ridicule, he still remained calm and said, "Although I am not from the Ministry of War, I am the head of the cabinet after all. The inferior herbs have caused serious casualties among the soldiers, so I am naturally very concerned."
The next moment, Lin Xun said, "In this case, how about we hand this case over to the cabinet for trial?"
Upon hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in Xiao Yi's eyes. It would be much better to fall into the hands of Prime Minister Wang than into the hands of the evil spirit Lin Xun. What's more... he had a secret deal with the Wang family. He knew that no matter what, the Wang family would protect him.
Unexpectedly, Prime Minister Wang did not follow suit and took on the matter. Instead, he declined, saying, "This is a military matter. Although I am in charge of the cabinet, I cannot overstep my boundaries. I will just sit in on this case."
Although the words were spoken in a humble manner, Prime Minister Wang's meaning was actually very clear. He did not want to do anything to offend anyone, but by occupying the guise of being an observer, he could also monitor Lin Xun and the Jijianyuan's every move, thus killing two birds with one stone.
Lin Xun also smiled and looked at Prime Minister Wang with sharp eyes. Even an old fox like Prime Minister Wang who had been in the officialdom for many years couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
Lin Xun said coldly, "Prime Minister Wang wants to supervise me in doing things?"
Prime Minister Wang said he dared not.
Lin Xun said nonchalantly, "I remember six years ago, when I was fighting in Beidi, the court sent a general to command the army. How did he end up? I wonder if you still remember, Lord Prime Minister?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present changed their expressions...
Six years ago, Emperor Ai was in power and eunuchs were in power.
At that time, the court was afraid of Lin Xun, who held great power, and planned to lure him back to the capital from the border, seize his military power, and take his life.
As a result, the general Ye Yuandao who was sent to convey the imperial edict and his two hundred minions were all beheaded by Lin Xun.
The following year, Lin Xun rescued Prince Lin, now Emperor Yonghui, who had been framed by Emperor Ai and exiled to Lingnan, and led his army straight into the capital.
Emperor Ai burned his own palace to death, and all the eunuchs and their clique were wiped out. Emperor Yonghui ascended the throne, and the power in Kyoto was reshuffled.
In the silence, Lin Xun suddenly stood up, and Prime Minister Wang subconsciously took a step back.
He looked at Lin Xun in horror, fearing that this moody regent would attack him on the spot...
