[Comprehensive] Cannon fodder, do you want to counterattack?

The former prince Xima, the current secretary and young supervisor Lin Boyuan, a small official from the fourth rank, is responsible for sorting out classics and books. Many people would not pay attention to this kind of person, if not for a talented nephew who is famous all over the world. He exists, and those who know him have the impression of him being unknown, honest and honest.

Obviously, it is difficult for people with these two qualities to stand out in a highly competitive place like the officialdom. Lin Boyuan himself also lacks the necessary self-motivation, so people look down on him even more.But today, he has become the focus of everyone's attention in the Golden Luan Hall. Everyone is looking at him, waiting for him to say something.

"I heard that all the lords knelt here to ask Your Majesty to punish my nephew Lin Ruo. A Ruo is just a commoner and is not qualified to go to the palace, so I came here and wanted to ask the lords a word for him."

Neither Lin Ruo nor Lin Boyuan is qualified to interrogate the court ministers at the Golden Luan Hall, so the person Lin Boyuan spoke to was Emperor Li Yuan.

Li Yuan didn't have much impression of Lin Boyuan at first, every time he went to the Lin Mansion, Lin Boyuan would avoid him wisely, and he never showed any outstanding performance on errands.In fact, he has always been a little surprised, why did the ordinary Lin Boyuan raise such a stunningly talented nephew?But now he feels that Lin Boyuan is not completely without merit, at least he is very courageous.

This is the first time to come to such an occasion, who is not trembling?However, this unknown secretary and young supervisor still behaved calmly and had a steady voice, with a plain but determined demeanor, which made people unconsciously trust him and be willing to listen to what he had to say.

"allow."

Li Yuan also wanted to hear what Lin Ruo wanted to say at this time.

Lin Boyuan calmly thanked you, stood up, stepped aside, turned around, faced the ministers standing in the hall, and said loudly: "The two officials, uncles and nephews, want to ask your lords, and you want to kill Lin Ruo. Is it for personal grievances, or national law?"

No one answered his question. They didn't bother to answer such a question, and they didn't need to answer it.

Seeing that no one answered, Lin Boyuan's expression did not change, and he continued: "If you want to kill A Ruo to vent your anger on Mr. Pei out of personal grievances, I have nothing to say. But although there are only two people in my Lin family, I am single. You are weak, but you won't kill at will, you can only go back to the house and wait for the strong killer to come, and fight to the death!"

As soon as this remark came out, several people wanted to scold, but seeing the appearance of the people around them, they restrained themselves and waited for him to continue.

"If you are for the law of the country, the next official will be here, and Ah Ruo will wait at home. No matter whether it is to be arrested or tried, my uncle and nephew will obey."

Hearing this, Li Yuan frowned slightly, and the rest of the officials also showed strange expressions, and looked at each other in blank dismay: Mr. Lin, why are you here today?Surrender?

However, after Lin Boyuan finished speaking, his expression became serious, his sword eyebrows raised, and his voice raised, and he said decisively: "Just please don't do this again, in the name of promoting the laws of the country, to vent your personal anger, disregarding the laws of the country. , trap Your Majesty in injustice!"

shameless!This guy is too shameless!

Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this: What kind of national laws did the stinky and shameless person talk to them in an upright manner?Isn't it his precious nephew who really provokes the laws of the country?

"Lin Boyuan!" Li Shentong was furious, and he took a step closer and shouted: "You say we are doing things to vent our personal anger in the name of advocating the law of the country? If Lin kills an important court official in full view, how can we ask His Majesty to bring him to justice?" out of personal anger?"

Li Shentong is the person with the most outstanding military exploits in the Li family other than Li Shimin, and the momentum he has trained in the Southern and Northern Wars is extremely amazing. This anger, the cowardly people have already fought on both legs, but Lin Boyuan was in a daze. If he didn't realize it, he looked straight into Li Shentong's eyes and said, "May I ask Zheng Guogong, do you work in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, or are you ordered to solve this case? It's only been half a day since the case happened, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice is still investigating, and His Majesty is still inconclusive, so Zheng Guogong suddenly intervened." , to request the capture of the 'murderer' appointed by you Lord Zheng Guogong... Zheng Guogong's move is not out of personal anger, is it because he has confirmed that the Ministry of Punishment and His Majesty are going to bend the law for personal gain, so out of a public heart for the country, it is impossible to stop it in advance?"

Li Shentong can lead troops to fight, but his tongue is not very sharp. He was choked and speechless, and someone interjected: "Master Lin's words are too strong and unreasonable? It is clear who is the murderer in this case. We will wait and see." Out of righteous indignation, what's wrong with asking Your Majesty to order the murderer to be punished?"

Lin Boyuan said: "Who is the murderer? It doesn't matter if you tell me!"

Turning to Dou Chengji, Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, he cupped his hands and said, "Lord Dou, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Now all the adults claim to know who the murderer is, do you know?"

Dou Chengji's face froze, his lips moved, turned his head for the last time, and said stiffly: "I don't know!"

He also knows that once the word "I don't know" is uttered, it is tantamount to offending the people in the hall, but he dare not say the words "Lin Ruo is a murderer". It would be strange to call him a stupid official, or he might even be a face-to-face bully—after all, the so-called evidence now is not directly related to murder, and it is enough to convict ordinary people, but for Lin Ruo... two evils Taking the lesser of power, I had no choice but to let him be proud this time!

Sure enough, Lin Boyuan smiled with satisfaction, and said to Li Shentong and others: "My lords, even the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment doesn't know who the murderer is, and everyone..."

"Your Majesty!" Dou Chengji hastily interrupted him, saying: "Although Lin Ruo's murderer cannot be determined in Mr. Pei's case, he is indeed the most suspect. Please make an order from Your Majesty that Yun Chen will bring him to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for interrogation."

But dare not let this mouth go on.

Li Yuan listened to their argument without saying a word. At this moment, Dou Chengji asked for orders again, his face darkened, and he still didn't speak.

Dou Chengji was about to redouble his efforts, but he saw Lin Boyuan knelt down beside him with a plop, and said, "Your Majesty, since Lord Shangshu said that Ah Ruo was suspected and was going to be sent to prison for interrogation, I dare not complain at all. I just ask Your Majesty to show mercy, poor Ah." If he is young and weak, he should be punished with discretion, don't let him die in prison before the case is concluded, it is a pity that he is only 16 years old..."

As he said that, he was already choked up, wiped away his tears, and said: "Ah Ruo's life is miserable. Half a month ago, he was arrested and sent to Dali just because the book boy beside him said, 'Aren't you afraid of bleeding to death from the seven orifices? The torture in the temple was worse than death, and the little book was tortured even more... It was so easy for His Majesty to show mercy and save a life, but now it has only been half a month, but because of the sentence 'every man's anger, five steps of bleeding', he wants to..."

"Killing is nothing more than a nod," Lin Boyuan turned to Dou Chengji and the others, and said angrily, "If you can't tolerate Ah Ruo alive, just let someone kill him. Why do you have to act in the name of the law of the country? My Lin family's lives are life-threatening , the dignity of the imperial court's law is great! You use the state weapon for private use time and time again, use the law as a butcher's knife, and arrest and convict people like a child's play, you are not afraid of making the people cold..."

"Nonsense!" Li Shentong said angrily, "How can this matter be the same as last time? Come on..."

He suddenly became alert, glanced at Li Yuan whose expression became unnatural, abruptly changed his voice, and said, "Master Pei's case is well-documented, and you still have to make excuses! If he wasn't the murderer, why would he send hemp rope to pay for it?" Cheng Yi, why did you pay homage to that book boy at the place where Mr. Pei was killed?"

Lin Boyuan's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly, "It's not for killing people, is it?"

"you!"

Lin Boyuan said: "A piece of hemp rope, a glass of wine, three sticks of incense, and a word... What's the use in killing people? Could it be that Ah Ruo did all this to tell everyone that I, Lin Ruo, killed Mr. Pei?" Are you stupid, crazy, or don't want to live?"

Li Shentong snorted coldly: "That's because he has nothing to fear..."

"Reliance?" Lin Boyuan laughed bitterly, and said: "The lower official is a small official from the fourth rank, and Ah Ruo is even a commoner. What can we have? If we really have something to rely on, how can Ah Ruo be because of an unintentional sentence from a servant?" You almost lost your life?"

Li Yuan moved uncomfortably. He knows better than anyone the real reason why Lin Ruo was arrested into Dali Temple because of a single sentence from the book. Every time he thinks about it, he feels guilty and blushes at the same time...it's so childish ah!

The anger in his heart that had been left behind because of Pei Ji's death surged up again. At the beginning, he clearly explained that Pei Ji should "take good care of him and inquire carefully", and he had to personally inquire about the progress every day. With Pei Ji's temperament, in this kind of situation How could there be a mistake in the situation?Clearly deliberately serving Lin Ruo to death...

He clearly knows that he is someone I cherish, but he lies and perfunctory in front of him every day, and at the same time makes people torture him to death... He really didn't take him seriously!

But Dou Chengji asked back: "Master Lin wants to say that it's just a coincidence that your nephew did this?"

"Of course not," Lin Boyuan said without changing his face, "Today is the first seven days of Xiaoshu. Last night, Xiaoshu entrusted Ah Ruo with a dream, so Ah Ruo went to the riverside to sacrifice at dawn today. On the way, he happened to meet Mr. Pei. So I said a few angry words...Master Dou, saying a few angry words is not considered a crime, right?"

"You think that pushing these on the dead is..."

"Enough!" Li Yuan clapped the dragon case, and said: "Pei Jin is an important minister in the court, he can't just die in such an unknown way, Dou Chengji, I order you to solve the case within ten days and arrest the murderer. Shang Shu doesn’t have to do it either!”

"His Majesty!"

Li Yuan ignored him, and said again: "Lin Boyuan, tell Lin Ruo that he should not go out of Beijing for ten days, and wait for the punishment department to come to question him."

"Yes!"

"As for the others," Li Yuan said coldly, "You don't have any serious business to do? If you feel that you are more capable than Dou Chengji, you can go to the criminal department to investigate the case by yourself. When you find the murderer, come tell me about severe punishment!"

-

"Changchun Jue?" Lin Ruo looked at the title page of the "Demon Book" and said, "The name sounds so familiar... Did you bully me and forget something, so you used my things to fool me? Even the sincerity of this little apology None?"

Angry words suddenly appeared on the "Demon Book": "I have said many times, you vomit blood and I have nothing to do with it! You died and the book boy caused you to lose control of your emotions and hurt yourself. I was just too unlucky to catch up!"

Lin Ruo let out a cold snort and stopped talking, opened the book and read it. The health preservation method "compensated" for him by this monster book was not something like Wu Qin Xi as he imagined, but a formula for practicing qi. He has never heard of such a simple qi training formula in the world... But this one, he not only understands it, but also finds it very familiar.

This qi training art feels full of attack, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like it can heal the body and cure the disease.Now that the world is unified, he doesn't think practicing martial arts will be of much use, but anyway, if he is idle, he will be idle...

"Master, Lin Chuan is back."

Lin Ruo put down the book and said, "Come in."

Lin Chuan entered the door and said in a low voice, "Master, everything has been arranged."

Lin Ruo asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Lin Chuan said: "They are all local hooligans. They usually do things like robbing and molesting women openly and secretly. Some of them still have human lives on their hands. I asked their leaders to tell them that there are countless gold, silver and jewels inside. They can't enjoy it enough in this life, they were immediately tempted, agreed without much persuasion, and took the initiative to take over the job of setting fire."

He said again: "After Pei Ji died, the people in Pei's mansion had to attend the funeral and have to deal with the government's questioning. It was a mess at the moment. Everything was still on the boat, and only a few servants were guarding... Those imperial forest soldiers had already They were transferred back in the afternoon, and I heard that one of them received fifty army sticks."

Lin Ruo nodded and said, "We'll do it in half an hour. That's when the wharf will be the most crowded, and the rain should stop."

"Yes," Lin Chuan responded, and said again: "But these people are unruly, and the leader has limited restrictions on them. He said that he would ask them to take a sheep and make something when they help. When they see something good, I'm afraid it will be snatched up..."

Lin Ruo shook her head and said, "It doesn't matter if you make a big fuss, as long as you don't let people find you."

Lin Chuan smiled and said, "Young master, don't worry, no matter how hard you find it, you won't be able to find the little one."

He said again: "The guy from the little one pretended to be Zheng Da who was doing dirty work for His Highness King Qi, and just 'accidentally' let one of the little thieves see the scar on his wrist."

Lin Ruo nodded, Lin Boyuan's good popularity allowed him to know countless people from all walks of life, not only well-informed, but also easy to do things.
