Jinyu of the Red Chamber
Chapter 62
People are connected with the young and handsome man in front of them. Even if they see it with their own eyes, there is an illusion that it suddenly feels like a dream.
Lin Jinyu raised her eyebrows slightly, put away the porcelain cup she was playing with, and stood up neatly, with a slightly stern smile on her lips: "Master Zhou, let's go and see what Zhen Yingjia has to say?"
As soon as Lin Jinyu finished speaking, the Secretary of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs nodded in response, and hurried away, because he knew that although Lin Jinyu was in charge of this case, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs would not be able to escape any responsibility if anything happened.
As soon as he stepped into the dungeon, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice saw that all members of the Zhen family, except for the female relatives, were pale, and some even looked dull, looking at Zhen Yingjia. A flash of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Minister of the Ministry of Justice. He did not expect such a calm person The characters actually have a day when they show hesitation and helplessness.
"What? I want to talk now?" Lin Jinyu walked out from behind the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, with a faint smile on his lips, his smile cooling down like a flower.
Zhen Yingjia nodded silently at first, and then let out a piercing and hoarse laugh. The crazy sound quality showed his mentality at the moment, that there was no end and nowhere to escape.
"Take my people back first."
Lin Jinyu smiled softly, tilted her head and looked at Zhen Yingjia, with a smile that was not a smile, she opened her lips and said, "Did you make a mistake, you are not qualified to negotiate terms with me now."
Zhen Yingjia was slightly taken aback, smiled wryly, looked at Lin Jinyu with a pleading look, and said in a low voice, "Do you want me to beg you?"
Lin Jinyu laughed lightly, and waved her hands to ask the servants to take the Zhen family and others away, but she didn't want Zhen Baoyu, who was being escorted by the servants, to struggle crazily when she passed by him, and stared at Lin Jinyu with wide eyes in disbelief. The pair of eyes inlaid on the handsome face are no longer as bright as the bright moon, and are covered with fine dark dust.
"Brother Lin, you are Brother Lin." Zhen Baoyu's dark gray eyes shone brightly, his pale face flushed with excitement, ignoring the rough suppression of the yamen servants, he shouted loudly: "Brother Lin, our Zhen family has been wronged. Yes, the Zhen family was wronged, you must tell the emperor that our Zhen family has not done anything wrong to the emperor! Brother Lin, please help our Zhen family for the sake of the Rongguo Mansion! Help us... "Zhen Baoyu yelled, and was dragged down by the yamen servants. In the dark dungeon, Zhen Baoyu's bright eyes were exceptionally clear, that was seeing the light of hope.
Lin Jinyu froze for a moment, only to realize that Zhen Baoyu didn't recognize her at all earlier, and raised her hand to touch her delicate chin, Lin Jinyu couldn't help raising her eyebrows, does he look so popular?
"You are Lin Jinyu, the grandson of Rongguo Mansion?" Zhen Yingjia's hoarse voice sounded again, but she never expected that it would be the grandson of Rongguo Mansion who came to interrogate her.
Lin Jinyu looked at Zhen Yingjia, raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said, "I thought you knew." After speaking, Lin Jinyu sat back on the presiding judge's seat, and waved to the yamen servant to loosen the rope on Zhen Yingjia's body and put on handcuffs.
Zhen Yingjia shook her head, smiled wryly, and looked at Lin Jinyu with scrutiny. He had tried all kinds of tricks in his life, but he never thought that one day he would fall into the hands of a young man, and even gave in to him.
"What do you want to ask?"
Lin Jinyu laughed in a low voice, looked at Zhen Yingjia with mocking eyes, and the voice that came out of her mouth was as cold as water drops falling on a jade plate: "It should be what you want to say, Zhen Yingjia, I don't have any What kind of patience is going on with you? The evidence is solid. Your Zhen family is doomed. Do you think the people behind you can keep the Zhen family? You should know what will happen to the family members of criminal officials like your Zhen family. Here It's the capital city, it's Chang'an, it's not a place where the people behind you can cover the sky with one hand, you're a smart man, you've said everything you need to say, the emperor might even give your Zhen family a way to survive for the sake of your knowledge of current affairs. "
"Maybe? I know exactly what crime I committed, and I know what will happen to the Zhen family. Don't deceive me with your words." Zhen Yingjia sneered, he knew that this was the only way he could negotiate terms with Lin Jinyu Chance.
How could Lin Jinyu not know Zhen Yingjia's thoughts, if he planned to carry it to the end, he would not be called by others, now, it was his only exchange for the safety of Zhen's family.
"Whether I'm bullying or not, you naturally have a clear understanding in your heart. Since you have already planned to confess everything when you call me, why bother to go around with me! Just say what you want, it's just too greedy." It’s still free.” Lin Jinyu smiled faintly, narrowing her eyes slightly.
"If I say to keep my Zhen family innocent, you can be the master." Zhen Yingjia was not moved by Lin Jinyu's words, but asked in a deep voice, her red eyes were full of indescribable madness and despair.
Lin Jinyu couldn't help laughing after hearing Zhen Yingjia's words, the laughter was uncontrollable, as if hearing a big joke, when the laughter gradually stopped, Lin Jinyu got up and leaned slightly, looked down at Zhen Yingjia, and said coldly He smiled and said: "Do you really think you are qualified to negotiate terms with me? It's up to me to send your Zhen family members wherever they want. If you continue to be obsessed with obsession, you can do whatever you want. After the case is over, you Zhen You can't see what will happen to the family." After finishing speaking, Lin Jinyu raised her phoenix eyes slightly, and the corners of her mouth twitched into a silent smile, but it was extremely charming.
Zhen Yingjia looked up at the smile on Lin Jinyu's mouth, and was slightly stunned. His darker eyes slowly closed. In the quiet atmosphere, he even heard his own heartbeat getting faster and faster. Zhen Yingjia understood that this beautiful woman The words of the young man who is as luxurious as a peony are not threatening but stating a fact, and as he said, he has no qualifications to negotiate terms with him. He knows the methods of King Zhongshun, but as Lin Jinyu said, this is Chang'an. , and the emperor is no longer the emperor of the time when the emperor was the emperor, and the fame, fortune and wealth of King Zhongshun are just a dream after all.
"All the money is in the hands of King Zhongshun." Zhen Yingjia said word by word. After uttering this sentence, he began to talk about his contacts with King Zhongshun over the years, but he never mentioned Rongguo Mansion.
The clerk carefully recorded Zhen Yingjia's confession, looked up from time to time to look at Lin Jinyu, who was half-closed and expressionless, and was startled when he met his eyes for a moment.
"Speaking of which, I was also there on the birthday of the old lady of Rongguo Mansion. I remember that the Zhen family sent two coral trees. I think my Lin family can be regarded as a noble family, but I have never seen such brightly colored coral trees. It seems that the Zhen and Jia families are really good friends." Lin Jinyu slowly opened her eyes and opened her mouth casually.
Zhen Yingjia is a smart person, so he naturally knew that Lin Jinyu would not mention the Rongguo Mansion for no reason. He did give a big gift on the birthday of the old lady of the Rongguo Mansion, and then entrusted the family property to the old lady Jia, just to keep it for the Zhen family. There is a way out.
"The Zhen and Jia families have been friends for generations, even if the Zhen family gave away two coral trees, it wouldn't be surprising." Zhen Yingjia said lightly.
However, Lin Jinyu evoked a playful smile, got up and walked towards Zhen Yingjia, leaned slightly, leaned into his ear, and said in a low voice: "Do you really think that the Rongguo Mansion won't swallow that money?"
Zhen Yingjia was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, Lin Jinyu straightened up and walked towards the clerk, picked up the recorded statement from the table, nodded in satisfaction after reading it, and looked back at Zhen Yingjia. It is intriguing and profound.
Folding the confession and putting it in the sleeve, Lin Jinyu raised his hand and brushed the hem of his official robe calmly and gracefully. Under the light of the candle, Lin Jinyu's slightly sideways face was indescribably handsome, and her thin and bright lips slowly He raised his head slowly, the arc was just right, noble and proud, he raised his head slightly, and walked out of the dungeon slowly and gracefully with calm steps.

After presenting the confession to Emperor Xuanchen, Lin Jinyu talked to Emperor Xuanchen about the process of the trial, with a smile in her beautiful big eyes, quite proud of her own means.
After hearing this, Emperor Xuanchen also pointed at Lin Jinyu and laughed non-stop, saying that he was weird, and besides satisfaction, there was also a touch of love in his eyes, especially when he saw Lin Jinyu's obedient and cute appearance, Like a jade doll, even Emperor Xuanchen sighed in his heart, it is no wonder that such a beautiful child is lovable, if he has such a son, I am afraid it will hurt to the bone, think about it, Emperor Xuanchen He couldn't help being proud, even though he wasn't his own son, he was still considered a son-in-law. In the future, when Yingyang and Jinyu got married, he would call him a father.
"Why, Zhen Yingjia didn't mention Rongguo Mansion to you?" Emperor Xuanchen raised his long eyebrows, but he was a little surprised. He thought Lin Jinyu would not give up if he didn't tear Zhen Yingjia apart.
The corners of Lin Jinyu's mouth twitched, her brows and eyes curved, and she smiled a little smugly: "No, I have asked him, but this guy is very stubborn, but before returning to the palace, I ordered the servants to ignore Zhen Yingjia's request. It's all convenient for him." As he said, Lin Jinyu blinked, expectantly waiting for Emperor Xuanchen to open his mouth to ask questions.
Emperor Xuanchen couldn't help but feel that Lin Jinyu's childish appearance was very cute. For a while, he saw Lin Ruhai who had just met him in the early years, and his mood immediately improved a little, so he asked with a smile: "How about Jinyu? What do you mean?"
Lin Jinyu pursed her lips and smiled lightly, her eyes bent into a crescent shape, and replied with a smile: "Then a large sum of money is placed in the Jia family, even if the Zhen family is friends with the Jia family, they will not be so relieved. A seed has been planted in Zhen Yingjia's heart, waiting for it to grow and germinate, and according to Zhen Yingjia's disposition, I am afraid that something that can restrain the Jia family will be left to the Zhen family."
"You kid, you really know how to calculate people's hearts. It's really not wrong for Zhen Yingjia to be planted in your hands." Emperor Xuanchen said with a smile, his eyes raised, and he said in a good mood: "I said, this Once you handle Zhen Yingjia's case beautifully, I will reward you very much, and I am not a person who does not believe what you say. After the next year, the position of Zuo Deputy Capital Censor will be yours." Leaving it to Lin Jinyu was definitely not on the whim of Emperor Xuanchen. The Metropolitan Procuratorate was originally a sharp arrow in the hands of the emperor. Lin Jinyu's love, at least in Emperor Xuanchen's heart, Lin Jinyu's sharp arrow made it very convenient. Whether it was because of Lin Ruhai or because Lin Jinyu's own intelligence made Emperor Xuanchen look at him differently, to this day, when Lin Jinyu opened his mouth, Lin Jinyu had already It has completely gained a firm foothold in the court.
Lin Jinyu was slightly startled, and looked at Emperor Xuanchen in disbelief. Zuo Fudu Yushi was a third-rank official, while his father Lin Ruhai was now a second-rank official. Is the Lin family's glory too sharp?Or does the emperor have other ideas?Lin Jinyu couldn't help thinking deeply, but there was only a look of surprise on his face.
Emperor Xuanchen laughed loudly, raised his long eyebrows, and asked in a deep voice: "Why, are you not satisfied with the position I gave you?" The position of Zuo Fudu Censor has been vacant for a long time, and he has been looking for someone who can make you happy. The people he trusts come to sit firmly, but there are so many people in the court, the ability of family background is not enough, and the backing behind the capable is not stable, there are very few people who can really sit firmly, Lin Jinyu is the most suitable among so many people The candidate, although young, has great abilities, and his family background is noble enough, but noble but not rich enough. The reason why he was so anxious to marry him to Yingyang was to let Lin Jinyu secure his position. The future son-in-law, who has enough ability and talent, and has the backing of Dingnan Wang's family in the army, who would dare to touch such a Lin Jinyu?
Lin Jinyu shook her head lightly, as if she had come to her senses, with an excited expression on her face, she immediately knelt down and kowtowed for the emperor's kindness.
"Jinyu, I have high expectations for you, so don't let me down." Emperor Xuanchen looked at Lin Jinyu meaningfully, and said loudly.
"I will live up to the emperor's expectations." Lin Jinyu said loudly, with a serious look in his eyes.
Emperor Xuanchen nodded his head in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "I am rewarding you with a good job. Go to the Rongguo Mansion to announce the decree. The Shangshu of Fengzao Palace will make you a virtuous concubine, and you will be allowed to go home to visit your relatives."
As soon as Emperor Xuanchen's words fell, Lin Jinyu couldn't wait to respond: "I obey the order."
Coming out of the palace, Lin Jinyu led his bodyguards and Eunuch Zhou, who was serving by Emperor Xuanchen, to the Rongguo Mansion. The servants of the Rongguo Mansion were shocked when they saw Lin Jinyu bringing the bodyguards, and rushed to find Jia Zheng and the others. .
Jia Zheng and the others were taken aback when they learned that Lin Jinyu was coming with the guards, and hurriedly ordered people to open the front door, and when Lin Jinyu was welcomed into the mansion, they were overjoyed when they learned of the intention of coming, but they were also caught off guard. An incense table was set up, Jia Zheng and others changed into official uniforms, and Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang also changed into official uniforms.
When the servants went to prepare the incense table and other items, Jia Zheng and the others accompanied Lin Jinyu and Eunuch Zhou with smiles on their faces, persuading them to drink tea while asking about Jia Yuanchun's recent situation.
Emperor Xuanchen didn't know how Jia Yuanchun was the eunuch serving Emperor Xuanchen, and how Eunuch Zhou didn't know, so he looked at Jia Zheng casually with raised eyes. Mr. Jia can inquire about things at will."
The smile on Jia Zheng's face froze, and he quickly said with a smile: "Yes, yes, the lower officials are confused."
Eunuch Zhou grinned and ignored Jia Zheng at all. Instead, he and Lin Jinyu drank tea and chatted with each other while smiling.
Jia She stroked his beard, looked at Lin Jinyu, and said slowly, "My nephew hasn't come to our place for a while, if we didn't drag the mother's anger today, we might still lose sight of my nephew!" Jia She As soon as I think that the rumors outside are spread by Lin Jinyu, I can't wait to pull him up to teach him a lesson. If it was before, Jia She would never speak like this, but now it is different. His niece is a concubine. Well, how can Lin Jinyu, a petty official, be able to compare.
The corners of Lin Jinyu's mouth curled up slightly, she looked at Jia She with a smile, and said softly, "Uncle wished for Jinyu. Jinyu really misses her grandmother and uncle in her heart, but she is so busy with work that she really can't get away from her!"
Jia She snorted softly, looked at Lin Jinyu contemptuously, and snorted, "Nephew, don't bully me. You are just an official of the fifth grade, equal to your second brother. Is it possible that you are worse than your second uncle?" Do you want to be busy?" Jia Amnesty did not believe what Lin Jinyu said, in his opinion, Lin Jinyu was just a low-ranking official, who was so busy, and he couldn't see others all day because he did something bad to hide They are the Jia family.
"Lord Jia doesn't know, what Master Lin said is the truth, since Master Lin entered the court as an official, he has been highly valued by Lord Long Live, no, Master Lin has just completed the case of Zhen's family today, and he was punished by Long Live just after he entered the palace. The Lord rewarded the errand." Eunuch Zhou said lightly, and smiled at Lin Jinyu, he is not a fool, he has served the emperor for so many years, he is still clear about who the emperor likes and who he likes, let alone others, In front of him, Mr. Lin is not a dispensable person in the heart of Long Live Lord, and Lord Ye treats Mr. Lin very courteously, not to mention that he is going to be a son-in-law soon. No one in the Jia family can compare. .
"The case of Zhen's family is being tried by his nephew?" Jia Zheng looked at Lin Jinyu in surprise. He has been an official for many years but still cannot be reused. He only works as a member of the Ministry of Industry. so important?
Lin Jinyu smiled silently, nodded slightly, opened her lips and said, "That's right." As she spoke, Lin Jinyu raised her phoenix eyes slightly, looked at Jia Zheng with a half-smile, and said softly, "I think it was my grandmother's birthday last time. Seeing people from the Zhen family come to celebrate their birthday, I never imagined that such an accident would happen in such a short period of time, and the whole family of the Zhen family would be taken into the capital."
Jia Zheng smiled awkwardly, but he didn't know how to answer the words. In desperation, he could only look at Mother Jia for help.
Jia's mother was about to become a master of life, and she couldn't hear the mockery in Lin Jinyu's words. With a faint smile, Jia's mother said, "The world is impermanent. The Zhen family was also a good one in the early days. They were highly valued by the late emperor, but they never Thinking that the defeat is in the hands of Zhen Yingjia, but I can't blame others, if I am a loyal minister, I will definitely not end up like this."
Lin Jinyu smiled slightly, and nodded in agreement: "Grandmother's words are very true. I heard that the Rongguo Mansion had to retreat behind the Zhen family's edge. Lord, how could the Lord Long Live not take it seriously! It's a pity that Zhen Yingjia is really a fool, and he did something stupid, which disappointed the Lord Long Live."
Jia Mu nodded her head lightly, expressing her agreement, but said with deep meaning: "Loyalty is the most important thing for a minister. Now that you are very important to the emperor, you must taboo the word loyalty. Don't do anything foolish, especially yours." You have to restrain your temper."
Lin Jinyu smiled softly, played with the jade pendant on her waist, lightly raised her long and narrow eyes, and with an incomprehensible smile, said with a smile: "Grandmother is right, one cannot do foolish things that displease the emperor." Come." After finishing speaking, Lin Jinyu looked at Jia Zheng and cleared his throat: "Lord Jia, get ready to receive the order! It's getting late, and Eunuch Zhou and I have to go back to the palace to return."
As soon as Lin Jinyu finished speaking, Jia Zheng and others stood in the center of the main hall, knelt down and listened to the order.
Lin Jinyu took the bright yellow imperial decree from Eunuch Zhou, opened it slowly, and said solemnly: "Following the heavens, the emperor ordered that Jia's family is gentle and gentle, respectful, careful and respectful, and generous and peaceful. A model of concubines in the harem, she was conferred the title of virtuous concubine, and she was allowed to go home to visit relatives, and authorized Jia's mansion to build a relatives' house, hereby."
"I accept the decree, thank the Lord for your kindness, and long live my emperor." The group headed by Jia Zheng said in unison, and kowtowed their heads again to thank them.
"Grandmother, get up!" Lin Jinyu put away the imperial decree and said with a light smile. After handing over the imperial decree to Jia Zheng, Bo Yan raised her lips slightly and said with a smile, "My nephew congratulates uncle on becoming the head of the country."
Jia Zheng grinned: "Don't dare to be that." He said so, but there was obvious color on his face, and it was obvious that Lin Jinyu's call as the head of the country made him very beautiful in his heart.
Lin Jinyu squinted her eyes and smiled, looking at the proud faces of the members of the Jia family, but she laughed lightly in her heart, secretly laughing at the Jia family's stupid people!The so-called virtuous concubine has no grade or gold book, but just occupies a title. The poor imperial edict has been announced, but they haven't even seen through it.
"It's getting late, our family and Mr. Lin will stay soon." Eunuch Zhou said slowly, but glanced at Jia Zheng with his small eyes.
Jia Zheng knew what to do at this time even though he didn't understand common things. He took out a bag from his sleeve and handed it to Eunuch Zhou without leaving a trace. As for Lin Jinyu, he had nothing to do with him at all. With a smile on his face, Jia Zheng said in a low voice: "I'm sorry to bother you, Eunuch, please give me some good words for your mother in the palace."
Eunuch Zhou glanced at Jia Zheng with a smirk, and then at Lin Jinyu, sneering in his heart, this Jia family really doesn't know how to do things, this imperial decree was read out by Master Lin, this kind of filial piety is not even given by Master Lin With such a wink, it's no wonder that Mrs. Jia is not favored.
"Master Lin, let's go back to the palace!" Eunuch Zhou took a half step and landed behind Lin Jinyu.
Lin Jinyu smiled slightly, and made a gesture of invitation to Eunuch Zhou. He didn't hold back, and just walked away with Eunuch Zhou. As for the filial piety of the Jia family, he really didn't think much of it. Now let them be rampant for a while, sooner or later This dream will be shattered

As soon as the case of the Zhen family was settled, the whereabouts of Yin Zi was actually referring to King Zhongshun. Some civil and military people in the court ridiculed some people, some people were frightened, and some even waited impatiently to make trouble, so as to please the Lord Long Live. King Zhongshun had been at odds with each other for a long time. They had fought openly and secretly when they were still princes. Even though they were enthroned today, King Zhongshun was still undeterred.
In the early court, Lin Jinyu saw King Zhongshun, who had always been a dragon without head and tail. He was dressed in a black embroidered red gold four-clawed python robe, but he did not show majesty. His figure was slightly round, and his face was very kind. To say something disrespectful, this Zhongshun King's appearance is extremely ordinary, and the only redeeming feature is his white and tender skin that is dripping with fat.
Lin Jinyu was a little stunned when he saw King Zhongshun crying and shouting for grievances as soon as he came to the hall. He thought that such a prince who could embarrass the emperor would be very imposing, but he never thought that he would look like this. She was willing to hold the emperor's thigh and cry bitterly to show her loyalty, and looked around at the ministers without any trace. Not surprisingly, the corners of the ministers' mouths twitched a little, thinking it was a headache.
Emperor Xuanchen helped King Zhongshun up, looked at King Zhongshun's red eyes, and groaned in his heart, and again, he is not the father, even if he is blinded by crying, he will not feel sorry for him.
"Zhongshun, how old are you, how can you still be so childish and not afraid of the courtiers' jokes." Emperor Xuanchen shouted, supporting King Zhongshun's hand with a little force, but he didn't save Zhongshun any face. It is very rare for a prince to scold in front of courtiers like this, let alone his own brother.
King Zhongshun stood up with the strength of Emperor Xuanchen's hand, twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, and said with an uneven face: "Is there any terrible jokes for my brother, if I am so wronged by others, if my brother is still indifferent, it doesn't make people think The younger brother really did such a heartless thing."
"Whether you have been wronged or not, I know in my heart, and you are not afraid of your children and grandchildren's jokes if you act like this." Emperor Xuan Chen said in a deep voice, a stern look flashed in his eyes.
King Zhongshun opened his mouth, looked at Emperor Xuanchen in embarrassment, and said in a low voice: "I have nothing to do, I have nowhere to complain about being wronged like this! If I can't wash away my grievances, don't say anything." It's my younger brother, even my younger brother's descendants have no face to face the ancestors of the royal family." After finishing speaking, King Zhongshun knelt down again and said loudly: "I also ask the emperor to uphold justice for my younger brother and return my younger brother A clean one."
The film king, the absolute film king, Lin Jinyu secretly cried in her heart, rolled her dark eyes, and looked at Emperor Xuan Chen without a trace. The fire of anger, obviously, Emperor Xuanchen hated what King Zhongshun did.
Bending slightly, Emperor Xuanchen helped King Zhongshun up again, and said softly: "Don't worry, my brother, I won't let people wrong you for nothing, as long as you have a clear conscience, whoever wants to be wronged you have to see if I agree .”
King Zhongshun stood up following Emperor Xuanchen's will, nodded silently, but turned his eyeballs slightly, and looked at the courtiers slightly sideways, his eyes paused for a moment on Lin Jinyu who was standing at the end, his eyes were thoughtful .
"Lin Aiqing, you are responsible for the case of Zhen Yingjia, and it also involves King Zhongshun. You need to explain to King Zhongshun what is right and wrong. If you really wronged King Zhongshun, I will not forgive you." Emperor Xuanchen shouted in a deep voice. , glanced at Lin Jinyu faintly, and an unknown darkness flashed in his eyes.
Lin Jinyu sighed silently, but walked forward quickly, and after saluting Emperor Xuanchen, he said seriously: "Returning to the words of the Long Live Lord, Zhen Yingjia personally said that the greedy money was honored to King Zhongshun, King Zhongshun He is the emperor's younger brother, and also ranks as the prince. Naturally, I cannot let the sewage be poured on the prince's head. Therefore, the matter is of great importance. Sent to King Zhongshun's mansion, now that King Zhongshun is calling for grievances in court, the minister is still puzzled."
King Zhongshun looked at Lin Jinyu with a serious smile, and said in a cold voice, "Lord Lin is so puzzled. As the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, is it possible that you can only explain it with puzzles? I thought Mr. Lin was young and highly talented, so that the emperor valued him, he must be a truly talented person, but he didn't think it was just a false name."
Lin Jinyu smiled lightly, and seemed very calm in the face of King Zhongshun's questioning, and just replied quietly: "I am in charge of hearing the case of corruption of ink in Jinling, which involved King Zhongshun, you are just an accident, if King Zhongshun is willing to do it for you I am puzzled, why the money that Zhen Yingjia coveted was sent to Zhongshun Palace, I will naturally not be puzzled."
"You mean to say that this king hid the embezzled money?" King Zhongshun stared and smiled coldly.
Lin Jinyu looked at King Zhongshun, with the same attitude, and replied calmly: "Don't dare, the minister is only responsible for hearing the case and explaining the facts with evidence.
"Fact?" King Zhongshun gritted his teeth and looked at Lin Jinyu. He never thought that a yellow-haired kid would dare to confront him. Could it be that he hadn't been in court for a long time, so that some unsightly things dared to bully him? Here comes the head.
Lin Jinyu smiled faintly, and looked at King Zhongshun silently, with sharp eyes that could pierce people's hearts. Although the smile on his handsome face was modest and gentle, in King Zhongshun's eyes, there was a sense of mockery.
"Lin Jinyu, do you know what is the crime of slandering the royal family?" King Zhongshun snarled, his eyelids twitched, and he looked at Lin Jinyu with a vicious gaze that seemed to be eating people.
Lin Jinyu narrowed her phoenix eyes, and looked in the direction of Emperor Xuanchen without any trace of light in her eyes. Her fluttering heart seemed to be pressed down by a stone, and she settled her mind steadily. She was not polite at the moment, but sneered silently, and replied in a deep voice : "A total of 500 million taels of silver was embezzled from the food and taxes allocated by the imperial court. I would like to ask the prince why Zhen Yingjia would point the finger at you. The silver account book records the whereabouts of the stolen money one by one. Could it be that the lord wants to say that Zhen Yingjia has a deep hatred with you, so that's why he doesn't bite others, but just bites you?"
"Presumptuous, you, a fifth-rank official, dare to speak wild words in front of this king, who gave you the right to interrogate this king." King Zhongshun shouted, his eyes were red, and the sharpness shot out of them was extremely sharp It was like a sharp sword made of cold iron, wishing to stab Lin Jinyu's heart and end his life, so as not to get angry at himself first.
"I am following the emperor's will to try the Jinling ink corruption case. Naturally, the trial must be impartial. The emperor's crime is the same as that of the common people, let alone you, the prince. The whereabouts of the stolen money in the silver account book provided by Zhen Yingjia can no longer be argued. To cry out injustice in the hall, it would be better to explain the whereabouts of the silver." Lin Jinyu said in a deep voice, her thin lips raised, forming a cold arc.
"Lin Jinyu." King Zhongshun blushed, obviously angry at Lin Jinyu, and stared at Lin Jinyu with his red eyes angrily. The big belly came out quivering.
Emperor Xuanchen looked at King Zhongshun's panting appearance and wished that he would die like this, but King Zhongshun is fat, he has a big heart and a fat body, otherwise he would not be able to compete with Emperor Xuanchen for so many years and still be so energetic every time he loses God is perfect.
With a deep sigh, Emperor Xuanchen also knew that he would not be able to kill King Zhongshun just because of the case of corruption of ink. The king was already a soldier at the end of the road, unable to breathe for a few days, what's more, one of his arms was taken off, and one of his roads was cut off.
As soon as the dragon case was filmed, Emperor Xuanchen looked at King Zhongshun indifferently, and shouted in a deep voice: "Shut up, everyone." After finishing speaking, Emperor Xuanchen looked at King Zhongshun indifferently, and said in a deep voice: "Let Lin Aiqing take charge of the trial." The case is mine, and I naturally believe in his ability. Although the evidence for implicating the emperor's younger brother this time is solid, I also understand that the emperor's loyalty to me is definitely not a traitor who would do such things, but the evidence points to , I have to do it impartially."
"The emperor's words are very true, and I have absolutely no dissatisfaction with my subjects. Please return my innocence to my brothers." King Zhongshun said in a low voice, but he felt a chill spread from his neck along his bones.
Emperor Xuanchen smiled lightly: "Lin Aiqing is in charge of the trial of Zhen Yingjia's case, and the emperor's younger brother was involved. If nothing bothers the two masters, let Lin Aiqing clear the emperor's younger brother!"
King Zhongshun was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lin Jinyu's calm face, his dark eyes sank, and said in a deep voice: "Since the emperor values Master Lin, I am willing to believe that Master Lin will return my brother's innocence." While speaking, King Zhongshun sneered.
Lin Jinyu frowned her long eyebrows indiscriminately, and then knelt down to receive the order: "I will definitely live up to the expectations of the Lord Long Live, and make King Zhongshun innocent." After finishing speaking, Lin Jinyu smiled at King Zhongshun, with a somewhat ambiguous meaning.
King Zhongshun gritted his teeth resentfully, looked at Lin Jinyu with a smirk, and nodded slightly: "I am waiting for Master Lin to return my innocence."
After the early court, before Lin Jinyu left the palace, Emperor Xuanchen declared Lin Jinyu to have an audience.
Lin Jinyu knew very well that the emperor was for King Zhongshun, and sighed in his heart, he had to say that this matter was extremely difficult. Although he understood that King Zhongshun could not be done with Zhen Yingjia's confession and account book, he never thought that Emperor Xuanchen would take this matter. The matter was handed over to him again.
"Chen Lin Jinyu sees the emperor, may my emperor live long and live long."
"Be flat!" Emperor Xuanchen said softly, his brows were furrowed, and he was obviously in a bad mood.
Lin Jinyu got up and glanced at Junse who was standing at the lower head of Emperor Xuanchen, and he shook his head silently.
"The matter of King Zhongshun is in your hands. You have to know what to do and how to interrogate." After a moment of silence, Emperor Xuanchen spoke slowly, with a stern tone.
Lin Jinyu responded lightly, but frowned her long eyebrows, bit her lower lip, Lin Jinyu raised her eyes to look at Emperor Xuanchen's face, and said softly: "Your Majesty, I think this case can only be settled like this."
"It's over? How?" Emperor Xuanchen sneered, he wanted to be a foolish emperor now, and ordered people to copy Zhongshun's mansion without hesitation.
Lin Jinyu had been pondering for a long time on the way here, only relying on Zhen Yingjia's case, King Zhongshun couldn't be moved, and the emperor insisted on revealing this matter, nothing more than wanting to get rid of King Zhongshun's right and left arm, although it was the first time he saw King Zhongshun, but he also learned a lot about him from Junse and Yinyi, especially the people who worked for him in the court.
"I thought that since the account books and confessions are all directed at King Zhongshun, I think this matter has nothing to do with King Zhongshun, but King Zhongshun keeps calling for grievances, so it's hard to guarantee that someone did this evil thing in his name. According to the minister As far as we know, Lord Inspector Zhou is the wife-in-law of King Zhongshun..." Lin Jinyu said here, and glanced at Emperor Xuanchen, seeing that he was not displeased, but with a gloomy face and a thoughtful look, and hurried on Said: "According to the procurator, Mr. Zhou is the wife and uncle of King Zhongshun, and he is an official who is sent out. He is not in Beijing all the year round. Maybe Mr. Zhou used the name of King Zhongshun to covet this huge sum of money." Lin Jinyu said, showing a touch A cunning smile.
Emperor Xuanchen snorted, but his face gradually softened, and he nodded slightly: "Do as you say, you are responsible for this matter on the surface, and Junse will also intervene in the dark. If you have any difficulties, just talk to Junse. You have to break your loyal arm."
"I obey the decree." Lin Jinyu replied loudly, heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt troubled. This matter is easy to say, but it is extremely difficult to do, and he may not be sure that he can do it beautifully.
"Okay, you guys go down! Come and tell me anytime you have eyebrows." Emperor Xuanchen waved his hand, but his eyebrows were extremely solemn, his eyes were full of fire, his patience was running out.
Lin Jinyu and Junse agreed at the same time, bowed and retired, and left in a hurry. They both saw that Emperor Xuanchen's patience was about to reach the limit, and it also meant that their time was running out, so they could only break their loyalty as soon as possible. The king's arm, let him show his feet, so that the emperor will be happy.

Emperor Xuanchen posed a very difficult problem for Lin Jinyu. In Lin Jinyu's words, the case could be tried with evidence, but there was no evidence system.
Lin Jinyu raised her eyebrows slightly, put away the porcelain cup she was playing with, and stood up neatly, with a slightly stern smile on her lips: "Master Zhou, let's go and see what Zhen Yingjia has to say?"
As soon as Lin Jinyu finished speaking, the Secretary of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs nodded in response, and hurried away, because he knew that although Lin Jinyu was in charge of this case, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs would not be able to escape any responsibility if anything happened.
As soon as he stepped into the dungeon, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice saw that all members of the Zhen family, except for the female relatives, were pale, and some even looked dull, looking at Zhen Yingjia. A flash of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Minister of the Ministry of Justice. He did not expect such a calm person The characters actually have a day when they show hesitation and helplessness.
"What? I want to talk now?" Lin Jinyu walked out from behind the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, with a faint smile on his lips, his smile cooling down like a flower.
Zhen Yingjia nodded silently at first, and then let out a piercing and hoarse laugh. The crazy sound quality showed his mentality at the moment, that there was no end and nowhere to escape.
"Take my people back first."
Lin Jinyu smiled softly, tilted her head and looked at Zhen Yingjia, with a smile that was not a smile, she opened her lips and said, "Did you make a mistake, you are not qualified to negotiate terms with me now."
Zhen Yingjia was slightly taken aback, smiled wryly, looked at Lin Jinyu with a pleading look, and said in a low voice, "Do you want me to beg you?"
Lin Jinyu laughed lightly, and waved her hands to ask the servants to take the Zhen family and others away, but she didn't want Zhen Baoyu, who was being escorted by the servants, to struggle crazily when she passed by him, and stared at Lin Jinyu with wide eyes in disbelief. The pair of eyes inlaid on the handsome face are no longer as bright as the bright moon, and are covered with fine dark dust.
"Brother Lin, you are Brother Lin." Zhen Baoyu's dark gray eyes shone brightly, his pale face flushed with excitement, ignoring the rough suppression of the yamen servants, he shouted loudly: "Brother Lin, our Zhen family has been wronged. Yes, the Zhen family was wronged, you must tell the emperor that our Zhen family has not done anything wrong to the emperor! Brother Lin, please help our Zhen family for the sake of the Rongguo Mansion! Help us... "Zhen Baoyu yelled, and was dragged down by the yamen servants. In the dark dungeon, Zhen Baoyu's bright eyes were exceptionally clear, that was seeing the light of hope.
Lin Jinyu froze for a moment, only to realize that Zhen Baoyu didn't recognize her at all earlier, and raised her hand to touch her delicate chin, Lin Jinyu couldn't help raising her eyebrows, does he look so popular?
"You are Lin Jinyu, the grandson of Rongguo Mansion?" Zhen Yingjia's hoarse voice sounded again, but she never expected that it would be the grandson of Rongguo Mansion who came to interrogate her.
Lin Jinyu looked at Zhen Yingjia, raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said, "I thought you knew." After speaking, Lin Jinyu sat back on the presiding judge's seat, and waved to the yamen servant to loosen the rope on Zhen Yingjia's body and put on handcuffs.
Zhen Yingjia shook her head, smiled wryly, and looked at Lin Jinyu with scrutiny. He had tried all kinds of tricks in his life, but he never thought that one day he would fall into the hands of a young man, and even gave in to him.
"What do you want to ask?"
Lin Jinyu laughed in a low voice, looked at Zhen Yingjia with mocking eyes, and the voice that came out of her mouth was as cold as water drops falling on a jade plate: "It should be what you want to say, Zhen Yingjia, I don't have any What kind of patience is going on with you? The evidence is solid. Your Zhen family is doomed. Do you think the people behind you can keep the Zhen family? You should know what will happen to the family members of criminal officials like your Zhen family. Here It's the capital city, it's Chang'an, it's not a place where the people behind you can cover the sky with one hand, you're a smart man, you've said everything you need to say, the emperor might even give your Zhen family a way to survive for the sake of your knowledge of current affairs. "
"Maybe? I know exactly what crime I committed, and I know what will happen to the Zhen family. Don't deceive me with your words." Zhen Yingjia sneered, he knew that this was the only way he could negotiate terms with Lin Jinyu Chance.
How could Lin Jinyu not know Zhen Yingjia's thoughts, if he planned to carry it to the end, he would not be called by others, now, it was his only exchange for the safety of Zhen's family.
"Whether I'm bullying or not, you naturally have a clear understanding in your heart. Since you have already planned to confess everything when you call me, why bother to go around with me! Just say what you want, it's just too greedy." It’s still free.” Lin Jinyu smiled faintly, narrowing her eyes slightly.
"If I say to keep my Zhen family innocent, you can be the master." Zhen Yingjia was not moved by Lin Jinyu's words, but asked in a deep voice, her red eyes were full of indescribable madness and despair.
Lin Jinyu couldn't help laughing after hearing Zhen Yingjia's words, the laughter was uncontrollable, as if hearing a big joke, when the laughter gradually stopped, Lin Jinyu got up and leaned slightly, looked down at Zhen Yingjia, and said coldly He smiled and said: "Do you really think you are qualified to negotiate terms with me? It's up to me to send your Zhen family members wherever they want. If you continue to be obsessed with obsession, you can do whatever you want. After the case is over, you Zhen You can't see what will happen to the family." After finishing speaking, Lin Jinyu raised her phoenix eyes slightly, and the corners of her mouth twitched into a silent smile, but it was extremely charming.
Zhen Yingjia looked up at the smile on Lin Jinyu's mouth, and was slightly stunned. His darker eyes slowly closed. In the quiet atmosphere, he even heard his own heartbeat getting faster and faster. Zhen Yingjia understood that this beautiful woman The words of the young man who is as luxurious as a peony are not threatening but stating a fact, and as he said, he has no qualifications to negotiate terms with him. He knows the methods of King Zhongshun, but as Lin Jinyu said, this is Chang'an. , and the emperor is no longer the emperor of the time when the emperor was the emperor, and the fame, fortune and wealth of King Zhongshun are just a dream after all.
"All the money is in the hands of King Zhongshun." Zhen Yingjia said word by word. After uttering this sentence, he began to talk about his contacts with King Zhongshun over the years, but he never mentioned Rongguo Mansion.
The clerk carefully recorded Zhen Yingjia's confession, looked up from time to time to look at Lin Jinyu, who was half-closed and expressionless, and was startled when he met his eyes for a moment.
"Speaking of which, I was also there on the birthday of the old lady of Rongguo Mansion. I remember that the Zhen family sent two coral trees. I think my Lin family can be regarded as a noble family, but I have never seen such brightly colored coral trees. It seems that the Zhen and Jia families are really good friends." Lin Jinyu slowly opened her eyes and opened her mouth casually.
Zhen Yingjia is a smart person, so he naturally knew that Lin Jinyu would not mention the Rongguo Mansion for no reason. He did give a big gift on the birthday of the old lady of the Rongguo Mansion, and then entrusted the family property to the old lady Jia, just to keep it for the Zhen family. There is a way out.
"The Zhen and Jia families have been friends for generations, even if the Zhen family gave away two coral trees, it wouldn't be surprising." Zhen Yingjia said lightly.
However, Lin Jinyu evoked a playful smile, got up and walked towards Zhen Yingjia, leaned slightly, leaned into his ear, and said in a low voice: "Do you really think that the Rongguo Mansion won't swallow that money?"
Zhen Yingjia was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, Lin Jinyu straightened up and walked towards the clerk, picked up the recorded statement from the table, nodded in satisfaction after reading it, and looked back at Zhen Yingjia. It is intriguing and profound.
Folding the confession and putting it in the sleeve, Lin Jinyu raised his hand and brushed the hem of his official robe calmly and gracefully. Under the light of the candle, Lin Jinyu's slightly sideways face was indescribably handsome, and her thin and bright lips slowly He raised his head slowly, the arc was just right, noble and proud, he raised his head slightly, and walked out of the dungeon slowly and gracefully with calm steps.
75
After presenting the confession to Emperor Xuanchen, Lin Jinyu talked to Emperor Xuanchen about the process of the trial, with a smile in her beautiful big eyes, quite proud of her own means.
After hearing this, Emperor Xuanchen also pointed at Lin Jinyu and laughed non-stop, saying that he was weird, and besides satisfaction, there was also a touch of love in his eyes, especially when he saw Lin Jinyu's obedient and cute appearance, Like a jade doll, even Emperor Xuanchen sighed in his heart, it is no wonder that such a beautiful child is lovable, if he has such a son, I am afraid it will hurt to the bone, think about it, Emperor Xuanchen He couldn't help being proud, even though he wasn't his own son, he was still considered a son-in-law. In the future, when Yingyang and Jinyu got married, he would call him a father.
"Why, Zhen Yingjia didn't mention Rongguo Mansion to you?" Emperor Xuanchen raised his long eyebrows, but he was a little surprised. He thought Lin Jinyu would not give up if he didn't tear Zhen Yingjia apart.
The corners of Lin Jinyu's mouth twitched, her brows and eyes curved, and she smiled a little smugly: "No, I have asked him, but this guy is very stubborn, but before returning to the palace, I ordered the servants to ignore Zhen Yingjia's request. It's all convenient for him." As he said, Lin Jinyu blinked, expectantly waiting for Emperor Xuanchen to open his mouth to ask questions.
Emperor Xuanchen couldn't help but feel that Lin Jinyu's childish appearance was very cute. For a while, he saw Lin Ruhai who had just met him in the early years, and his mood immediately improved a little, so he asked with a smile: "How about Jinyu? What do you mean?"
Lin Jinyu pursed her lips and smiled lightly, her eyes bent into a crescent shape, and replied with a smile: "Then a large sum of money is placed in the Jia family, even if the Zhen family is friends with the Jia family, they will not be so relieved. A seed has been planted in Zhen Yingjia's heart, waiting for it to grow and germinate, and according to Zhen Yingjia's disposition, I am afraid that something that can restrain the Jia family will be left to the Zhen family."
"You kid, you really know how to calculate people's hearts. It's really not wrong for Zhen Yingjia to be planted in your hands." Emperor Xuanchen said with a smile, his eyes raised, and he said in a good mood: "I said, this Once you handle Zhen Yingjia's case beautifully, I will reward you very much, and I am not a person who does not believe what you say. After the next year, the position of Zuo Deputy Capital Censor will be yours." Leaving it to Lin Jinyu was definitely not on the whim of Emperor Xuanchen. The Metropolitan Procuratorate was originally a sharp arrow in the hands of the emperor. Lin Jinyu's love, at least in Emperor Xuanchen's heart, Lin Jinyu's sharp arrow made it very convenient. Whether it was because of Lin Ruhai or because Lin Jinyu's own intelligence made Emperor Xuanchen look at him differently, to this day, when Lin Jinyu opened his mouth, Lin Jinyu had already It has completely gained a firm foothold in the court.
Lin Jinyu was slightly startled, and looked at Emperor Xuanchen in disbelief. Zuo Fudu Yushi was a third-rank official, while his father Lin Ruhai was now a second-rank official. Is the Lin family's glory too sharp?Or does the emperor have other ideas?Lin Jinyu couldn't help thinking deeply, but there was only a look of surprise on his face.
Emperor Xuanchen laughed loudly, raised his long eyebrows, and asked in a deep voice: "Why, are you not satisfied with the position I gave you?" The position of Zuo Fudu Censor has been vacant for a long time, and he has been looking for someone who can make you happy. The people he trusts come to sit firmly, but there are so many people in the court, the ability of family background is not enough, and the backing behind the capable is not stable, there are very few people who can really sit firmly, Lin Jinyu is the most suitable among so many people The candidate, although young, has great abilities, and his family background is noble enough, but noble but not rich enough. The reason why he was so anxious to marry him to Yingyang was to let Lin Jinyu secure his position. The future son-in-law, who has enough ability and talent, and has the backing of Dingnan Wang's family in the army, who would dare to touch such a Lin Jinyu?
Lin Jinyu shook her head lightly, as if she had come to her senses, with an excited expression on her face, she immediately knelt down and kowtowed for the emperor's kindness.
"Jinyu, I have high expectations for you, so don't let me down." Emperor Xuanchen looked at Lin Jinyu meaningfully, and said loudly.
"I will live up to the emperor's expectations." Lin Jinyu said loudly, with a serious look in his eyes.
Emperor Xuanchen nodded his head in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "I am rewarding you with a good job. Go to the Rongguo Mansion to announce the decree. The Shangshu of Fengzao Palace will make you a virtuous concubine, and you will be allowed to go home to visit your relatives."
As soon as Emperor Xuanchen's words fell, Lin Jinyu couldn't wait to respond: "I obey the order."
Coming out of the palace, Lin Jinyu led his bodyguards and Eunuch Zhou, who was serving by Emperor Xuanchen, to the Rongguo Mansion. The servants of the Rongguo Mansion were shocked when they saw Lin Jinyu bringing the bodyguards, and rushed to find Jia Zheng and the others. .
Jia Zheng and the others were taken aback when they learned that Lin Jinyu was coming with the guards, and hurriedly ordered people to open the front door, and when Lin Jinyu was welcomed into the mansion, they were overjoyed when they learned of the intention of coming, but they were also caught off guard. An incense table was set up, Jia Zheng and others changed into official uniforms, and Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang also changed into official uniforms.
When the servants went to prepare the incense table and other items, Jia Zheng and the others accompanied Lin Jinyu and Eunuch Zhou with smiles on their faces, persuading them to drink tea while asking about Jia Yuanchun's recent situation.
Emperor Xuanchen didn't know how Jia Yuanchun was the eunuch serving Emperor Xuanchen, and how Eunuch Zhou didn't know, so he looked at Jia Zheng casually with raised eyes. Mr. Jia can inquire about things at will."
The smile on Jia Zheng's face froze, and he quickly said with a smile: "Yes, yes, the lower officials are confused."
Eunuch Zhou grinned and ignored Jia Zheng at all. Instead, he and Lin Jinyu drank tea and chatted with each other while smiling.
Jia She stroked his beard, looked at Lin Jinyu, and said slowly, "My nephew hasn't come to our place for a while, if we didn't drag the mother's anger today, we might still lose sight of my nephew!" Jia She As soon as I think that the rumors outside are spread by Lin Jinyu, I can't wait to pull him up to teach him a lesson. If it was before, Jia She would never speak like this, but now it is different. His niece is a concubine. Well, how can Lin Jinyu, a petty official, be able to compare.
The corners of Lin Jinyu's mouth curled up slightly, she looked at Jia She with a smile, and said softly, "Uncle wished for Jinyu. Jinyu really misses her grandmother and uncle in her heart, but she is so busy with work that she really can't get away from her!"
Jia She snorted softly, looked at Lin Jinyu contemptuously, and snorted, "Nephew, don't bully me. You are just an official of the fifth grade, equal to your second brother. Is it possible that you are worse than your second uncle?" Do you want to be busy?" Jia Amnesty did not believe what Lin Jinyu said, in his opinion, Lin Jinyu was just a low-ranking official, who was so busy, and he couldn't see others all day because he did something bad to hide They are the Jia family.
"Lord Jia doesn't know, what Master Lin said is the truth, since Master Lin entered the court as an official, he has been highly valued by Lord Long Live, no, Master Lin has just completed the case of Zhen's family today, and he was punished by Long Live just after he entered the palace. The Lord rewarded the errand." Eunuch Zhou said lightly, and smiled at Lin Jinyu, he is not a fool, he has served the emperor for so many years, he is still clear about who the emperor likes and who he likes, let alone others, In front of him, Mr. Lin is not a dispensable person in the heart of Long Live Lord, and Lord Ye treats Mr. Lin very courteously, not to mention that he is going to be a son-in-law soon. No one in the Jia family can compare. .
"The case of Zhen's family is being tried by his nephew?" Jia Zheng looked at Lin Jinyu in surprise. He has been an official for many years but still cannot be reused. He only works as a member of the Ministry of Industry. so important?
Lin Jinyu smiled silently, nodded slightly, opened her lips and said, "That's right." As she spoke, Lin Jinyu raised her phoenix eyes slightly, looked at Jia Zheng with a half-smile, and said softly, "I think it was my grandmother's birthday last time. Seeing people from the Zhen family come to celebrate their birthday, I never imagined that such an accident would happen in such a short period of time, and the whole family of the Zhen family would be taken into the capital."
Jia Zheng smiled awkwardly, but he didn't know how to answer the words. In desperation, he could only look at Mother Jia for help.
Jia's mother was about to become a master of life, and she couldn't hear the mockery in Lin Jinyu's words. With a faint smile, Jia's mother said, "The world is impermanent. The Zhen family was also a good one in the early days. They were highly valued by the late emperor, but they never Thinking that the defeat is in the hands of Zhen Yingjia, but I can't blame others, if I am a loyal minister, I will definitely not end up like this."
Lin Jinyu smiled slightly, and nodded in agreement: "Grandmother's words are very true. I heard that the Rongguo Mansion had to retreat behind the Zhen family's edge. Lord, how could the Lord Long Live not take it seriously! It's a pity that Zhen Yingjia is really a fool, and he did something stupid, which disappointed the Lord Long Live."
Jia Mu nodded her head lightly, expressing her agreement, but said with deep meaning: "Loyalty is the most important thing for a minister. Now that you are very important to the emperor, you must taboo the word loyalty. Don't do anything foolish, especially yours." You have to restrain your temper."
Lin Jinyu smiled softly, played with the jade pendant on her waist, lightly raised her long and narrow eyes, and with an incomprehensible smile, said with a smile: "Grandmother is right, one cannot do foolish things that displease the emperor." Come." After finishing speaking, Lin Jinyu looked at Jia Zheng and cleared his throat: "Lord Jia, get ready to receive the order! It's getting late, and Eunuch Zhou and I have to go back to the palace to return."
As soon as Lin Jinyu finished speaking, Jia Zheng and others stood in the center of the main hall, knelt down and listened to the order.
Lin Jinyu took the bright yellow imperial decree from Eunuch Zhou, opened it slowly, and said solemnly: "Following the heavens, the emperor ordered that Jia's family is gentle and gentle, respectful, careful and respectful, and generous and peaceful. A model of concubines in the harem, she was conferred the title of virtuous concubine, and she was allowed to go home to visit relatives, and authorized Jia's mansion to build a relatives' house, hereby."
"I accept the decree, thank the Lord for your kindness, and long live my emperor." The group headed by Jia Zheng said in unison, and kowtowed their heads again to thank them.
"Grandmother, get up!" Lin Jinyu put away the imperial decree and said with a light smile. After handing over the imperial decree to Jia Zheng, Bo Yan raised her lips slightly and said with a smile, "My nephew congratulates uncle on becoming the head of the country."
Jia Zheng grinned: "Don't dare to be that." He said so, but there was obvious color on his face, and it was obvious that Lin Jinyu's call as the head of the country made him very beautiful in his heart.
Lin Jinyu squinted her eyes and smiled, looking at the proud faces of the members of the Jia family, but she laughed lightly in her heart, secretly laughing at the Jia family's stupid people!The so-called virtuous concubine has no grade or gold book, but just occupies a title. The poor imperial edict has been announced, but they haven't even seen through it.
"It's getting late, our family and Mr. Lin will stay soon." Eunuch Zhou said slowly, but glanced at Jia Zheng with his small eyes.
Jia Zheng knew what to do at this time even though he didn't understand common things. He took out a bag from his sleeve and handed it to Eunuch Zhou without leaving a trace. As for Lin Jinyu, he had nothing to do with him at all. With a smile on his face, Jia Zheng said in a low voice: "I'm sorry to bother you, Eunuch, please give me some good words for your mother in the palace."
Eunuch Zhou glanced at Jia Zheng with a smirk, and then at Lin Jinyu, sneering in his heart, this Jia family really doesn't know how to do things, this imperial decree was read out by Master Lin, this kind of filial piety is not even given by Master Lin With such a wink, it's no wonder that Mrs. Jia is not favored.
"Master Lin, let's go back to the palace!" Eunuch Zhou took a half step and landed behind Lin Jinyu.
Lin Jinyu smiled slightly, and made a gesture of invitation to Eunuch Zhou. He didn't hold back, and just walked away with Eunuch Zhou. As for the filial piety of the Jia family, he really didn't think much of it. Now let them be rampant for a while, sooner or later This dream will be shattered

As soon as the case of the Zhen family was settled, the whereabouts of Yin Zi was actually referring to King Zhongshun. Some civil and military people in the court ridiculed some people, some people were frightened, and some even waited impatiently to make trouble, so as to please the Lord Long Live. King Zhongshun had been at odds with each other for a long time. They had fought openly and secretly when they were still princes. Even though they were enthroned today, King Zhongshun was still undeterred.
In the early court, Lin Jinyu saw King Zhongshun, who had always been a dragon without head and tail. He was dressed in a black embroidered red gold four-clawed python robe, but he did not show majesty. His figure was slightly round, and his face was very kind. To say something disrespectful, this Zhongshun King's appearance is extremely ordinary, and the only redeeming feature is his white and tender skin that is dripping with fat.
Lin Jinyu was a little stunned when he saw King Zhongshun crying and shouting for grievances as soon as he came to the hall. He thought that such a prince who could embarrass the emperor would be very imposing, but he never thought that he would look like this. She was willing to hold the emperor's thigh and cry bitterly to show her loyalty, and looked around at the ministers without any trace. Not surprisingly, the corners of the ministers' mouths twitched a little, thinking it was a headache.
Emperor Xuanchen helped King Zhongshun up, looked at King Zhongshun's red eyes, and groaned in his heart, and again, he is not the father, even if he is blinded by crying, he will not feel sorry for him.
"Zhongshun, how old are you, how can you still be so childish and not afraid of the courtiers' jokes." Emperor Xuanchen shouted, supporting King Zhongshun's hand with a little force, but he didn't save Zhongshun any face. It is very rare for a prince to scold in front of courtiers like this, let alone his own brother.
King Zhongshun stood up with the strength of Emperor Xuanchen's hand, twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, and said with an uneven face: "Is there any terrible jokes for my brother, if I am so wronged by others, if my brother is still indifferent, it doesn't make people think The younger brother really did such a heartless thing."
"Whether you have been wronged or not, I know in my heart, and you are not afraid of your children and grandchildren's jokes if you act like this." Emperor Xuan Chen said in a deep voice, a stern look flashed in his eyes.
King Zhongshun opened his mouth, looked at Emperor Xuanchen in embarrassment, and said in a low voice: "I have nothing to do, I have nowhere to complain about being wronged like this! If I can't wash away my grievances, don't say anything." It's my younger brother, even my younger brother's descendants have no face to face the ancestors of the royal family." After finishing speaking, King Zhongshun knelt down again and said loudly: "I also ask the emperor to uphold justice for my younger brother and return my younger brother A clean one."
The film king, the absolute film king, Lin Jinyu secretly cried in her heart, rolled her dark eyes, and looked at Emperor Xuan Chen without a trace. The fire of anger, obviously, Emperor Xuanchen hated what King Zhongshun did.
Bending slightly, Emperor Xuanchen helped King Zhongshun up again, and said softly: "Don't worry, my brother, I won't let people wrong you for nothing, as long as you have a clear conscience, whoever wants to be wronged you have to see if I agree .”
King Zhongshun stood up following Emperor Xuanchen's will, nodded silently, but turned his eyeballs slightly, and looked at the courtiers slightly sideways, his eyes paused for a moment on Lin Jinyu who was standing at the end, his eyes were thoughtful .
"Lin Aiqing, you are responsible for the case of Zhen Yingjia, and it also involves King Zhongshun. You need to explain to King Zhongshun what is right and wrong. If you really wronged King Zhongshun, I will not forgive you." Emperor Xuanchen shouted in a deep voice. , glanced at Lin Jinyu faintly, and an unknown darkness flashed in his eyes.
Lin Jinyu sighed silently, but walked forward quickly, and after saluting Emperor Xuanchen, he said seriously: "Returning to the words of the Long Live Lord, Zhen Yingjia personally said that the greedy money was honored to King Zhongshun, King Zhongshun He is the emperor's younger brother, and also ranks as the prince. Naturally, I cannot let the sewage be poured on the prince's head. Therefore, the matter is of great importance. Sent to King Zhongshun's mansion, now that King Zhongshun is calling for grievances in court, the minister is still puzzled."
King Zhongshun looked at Lin Jinyu with a serious smile, and said in a cold voice, "Lord Lin is so puzzled. As the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, is it possible that you can only explain it with puzzles? I thought Mr. Lin was young and highly talented, so that the emperor valued him, he must be a truly talented person, but he didn't think it was just a false name."
Lin Jinyu smiled lightly, and seemed very calm in the face of King Zhongshun's questioning, and just replied quietly: "I am in charge of hearing the case of corruption of ink in Jinling, which involved King Zhongshun, you are just an accident, if King Zhongshun is willing to do it for you I am puzzled, why the money that Zhen Yingjia coveted was sent to Zhongshun Palace, I will naturally not be puzzled."
"You mean to say that this king hid the embezzled money?" King Zhongshun stared and smiled coldly.
Lin Jinyu looked at King Zhongshun, with the same attitude, and replied calmly: "Don't dare, the minister is only responsible for hearing the case and explaining the facts with evidence.
"Fact?" King Zhongshun gritted his teeth and looked at Lin Jinyu. He never thought that a yellow-haired kid would dare to confront him. Could it be that he hadn't been in court for a long time, so that some unsightly things dared to bully him? Here comes the head.
Lin Jinyu smiled faintly, and looked at King Zhongshun silently, with sharp eyes that could pierce people's hearts. Although the smile on his handsome face was modest and gentle, in King Zhongshun's eyes, there was a sense of mockery.
"Lin Jinyu, do you know what is the crime of slandering the royal family?" King Zhongshun snarled, his eyelids twitched, and he looked at Lin Jinyu with a vicious gaze that seemed to be eating people.
Lin Jinyu narrowed her phoenix eyes, and looked in the direction of Emperor Xuanchen without any trace of light in her eyes. Her fluttering heart seemed to be pressed down by a stone, and she settled her mind steadily. She was not polite at the moment, but sneered silently, and replied in a deep voice : "A total of 500 million taels of silver was embezzled from the food and taxes allocated by the imperial court. I would like to ask the prince why Zhen Yingjia would point the finger at you. The silver account book records the whereabouts of the stolen money one by one. Could it be that the lord wants to say that Zhen Yingjia has a deep hatred with you, so that's why he doesn't bite others, but just bites you?"
"Presumptuous, you, a fifth-rank official, dare to speak wild words in front of this king, who gave you the right to interrogate this king." King Zhongshun shouted, his eyes were red, and the sharpness shot out of them was extremely sharp It was like a sharp sword made of cold iron, wishing to stab Lin Jinyu's heart and end his life, so as not to get angry at himself first.
"I am following the emperor's will to try the Jinling ink corruption case. Naturally, the trial must be impartial. The emperor's crime is the same as that of the common people, let alone you, the prince. The whereabouts of the stolen money in the silver account book provided by Zhen Yingjia can no longer be argued. To cry out injustice in the hall, it would be better to explain the whereabouts of the silver." Lin Jinyu said in a deep voice, her thin lips raised, forming a cold arc.
"Lin Jinyu." King Zhongshun blushed, obviously angry at Lin Jinyu, and stared at Lin Jinyu with his red eyes angrily. The big belly came out quivering.
Emperor Xuanchen looked at King Zhongshun's panting appearance and wished that he would die like this, but King Zhongshun is fat, he has a big heart and a fat body, otherwise he would not be able to compete with Emperor Xuanchen for so many years and still be so energetic every time he loses God is perfect.
With a deep sigh, Emperor Xuanchen also knew that he would not be able to kill King Zhongshun just because of the case of corruption of ink. The king was already a soldier at the end of the road, unable to breathe for a few days, what's more, one of his arms was taken off, and one of his roads was cut off.
As soon as the dragon case was filmed, Emperor Xuanchen looked at King Zhongshun indifferently, and shouted in a deep voice: "Shut up, everyone." After finishing speaking, Emperor Xuanchen looked at King Zhongshun indifferently, and said in a deep voice: "Let Lin Aiqing take charge of the trial." The case is mine, and I naturally believe in his ability. Although the evidence for implicating the emperor's younger brother this time is solid, I also understand that the emperor's loyalty to me is definitely not a traitor who would do such things, but the evidence points to , I have to do it impartially."
"The emperor's words are very true, and I have absolutely no dissatisfaction with my subjects. Please return my innocence to my brothers." King Zhongshun said in a low voice, but he felt a chill spread from his neck along his bones.
Emperor Xuanchen smiled lightly: "Lin Aiqing is in charge of the trial of Zhen Yingjia's case, and the emperor's younger brother was involved. If nothing bothers the two masters, let Lin Aiqing clear the emperor's younger brother!"
King Zhongshun was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lin Jinyu's calm face, his dark eyes sank, and said in a deep voice: "Since the emperor values Master Lin, I am willing to believe that Master Lin will return my brother's innocence." While speaking, King Zhongshun sneered.
Lin Jinyu frowned her long eyebrows indiscriminately, and then knelt down to receive the order: "I will definitely live up to the expectations of the Lord Long Live, and make King Zhongshun innocent." After finishing speaking, Lin Jinyu smiled at King Zhongshun, with a somewhat ambiguous meaning.
King Zhongshun gritted his teeth resentfully, looked at Lin Jinyu with a smirk, and nodded slightly: "I am waiting for Master Lin to return my innocence."
After the early court, before Lin Jinyu left the palace, Emperor Xuanchen declared Lin Jinyu to have an audience.
Lin Jinyu knew very well that the emperor was for King Zhongshun, and sighed in his heart, he had to say that this matter was extremely difficult. Although he understood that King Zhongshun could not be done with Zhen Yingjia's confession and account book, he never thought that Emperor Xuanchen would take this matter. The matter was handed over to him again.
"Chen Lin Jinyu sees the emperor, may my emperor live long and live long."
"Be flat!" Emperor Xuanchen said softly, his brows were furrowed, and he was obviously in a bad mood.
Lin Jinyu got up and glanced at Junse who was standing at the lower head of Emperor Xuanchen, and he shook his head silently.
"The matter of King Zhongshun is in your hands. You have to know what to do and how to interrogate." After a moment of silence, Emperor Xuanchen spoke slowly, with a stern tone.
Lin Jinyu responded lightly, but frowned her long eyebrows, bit her lower lip, Lin Jinyu raised her eyes to look at Emperor Xuanchen's face, and said softly: "Your Majesty, I think this case can only be settled like this."
"It's over? How?" Emperor Xuanchen sneered, he wanted to be a foolish emperor now, and ordered people to copy Zhongshun's mansion without hesitation.
Lin Jinyu had been pondering for a long time on the way here, only relying on Zhen Yingjia's case, King Zhongshun couldn't be moved, and the emperor insisted on revealing this matter, nothing more than wanting to get rid of King Zhongshun's right and left arm, although it was the first time he saw King Zhongshun, but he also learned a lot about him from Junse and Yinyi, especially the people who worked for him in the court.
"I thought that since the account books and confessions are all directed at King Zhongshun, I think this matter has nothing to do with King Zhongshun, but King Zhongshun keeps calling for grievances, so it's hard to guarantee that someone did this evil thing in his name. According to the minister As far as we know, Lord Inspector Zhou is the wife-in-law of King Zhongshun..." Lin Jinyu said here, and glanced at Emperor Xuanchen, seeing that he was not displeased, but with a gloomy face and a thoughtful look, and hurried on Said: "According to the procurator, Mr. Zhou is the wife and uncle of King Zhongshun, and he is an official who is sent out. He is not in Beijing all the year round. Maybe Mr. Zhou used the name of King Zhongshun to covet this huge sum of money." Lin Jinyu said, showing a touch A cunning smile.
Emperor Xuanchen snorted, but his face gradually softened, and he nodded slightly: "Do as you say, you are responsible for this matter on the surface, and Junse will also intervene in the dark. If you have any difficulties, just talk to Junse. You have to break your loyal arm."
"I obey the decree." Lin Jinyu replied loudly, heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt troubled. This matter is easy to say, but it is extremely difficult to do, and he may not be sure that he can do it beautifully.
"Okay, you guys go down! Come and tell me anytime you have eyebrows." Emperor Xuanchen waved his hand, but his eyebrows were extremely solemn, his eyes were full of fire, his patience was running out.
Lin Jinyu and Junse agreed at the same time, bowed and retired, and left in a hurry. They both saw that Emperor Xuanchen's patience was about to reach the limit, and it also meant that their time was running out, so they could only break their loyalty as soon as possible. The king's arm, let him show his feet, so that the emperor will be happy.
77
Emperor Xuanchen posed a very difficult problem for Lin Jinyu. In Lin Jinyu's words, the case could be tried with evidence, but there was no evidence system.
