Chapter 115 It's not me, but the emperor
Fang Shiren wrote about Lin Zimo's 16 crimes in the last chapter of the court, including the elements of fictitiousness and catching wind and shadow. However, one of the most deadly ones is that Li Zimo hid Ji Xiaojuan, a criminal of the imperial court. Fang Shiren sent people to verify that she was the daughter of a local official who rebelled against the court in He County, Guangxi.
In the early morning, a spokespeaker who was bought by him was about to come out. This killer's throw is really very important, which makes Han Yong's faction afraid to speak more. Zhu Jianshen, who weighed the pros and cons, did not make a statement on the spot to question Lin Zi's dismissal, but ordered Jinyiwei's commander to send Jinyiwei to Guangxi to verify and make a conclusion.
Wan Tong, the younger brother of Wan Guifei, has seen Zhu Jianshen treat a foreign magistrate so cautiously as the commander of Jinyiwei. He, who learned to speculate, guessed that this Xunzhou magistrate named Lin Zimo should have a little weight in the emperor's mind, otherwise it would not have been so troublesome. For the sake of safety, he adopted the principle of grade equivalence and sent a four-grade commander to lead four shrewd and capable six-grade households out of Beijing.
After an unannounced visit by five people, there was naturally a result, and a detailed official document was written and submitted. Zhu Jianshen, who read the "report", knew that Lin Zimo was unintentional. The reason why he is biased is that he is both literary and military and loyal. However, he made punitive decisions and instructions in order to block the crowd and calm the disturbance.
Lin Zimo, as the magistrate of Zhengsipin Xunzhou, was relegated to Qingyang Prefecture, Shaanxi Province to serve as the magistrate of Sipin. Zhao Wenxuan, his " accomplice", severely reprimanded and fined him for a year, and together with Lin Zimo, he was transferred to thousands of households in Qingyang Prefecture, Shaanxi Province. Ji Xiaojuan was escorted back to Beijing with her beautiful Yao woman captured by Jinyiwei and the army to wait for her release.
The commander of Jinyiwei, who received the imperial edict, led his four subordinates to wear flying fish clothes and embroidered spring knives on their waists, and publicly appeared at the gate of the magistrate of Xunzhou Prefecture. The lavatives who saw their arrival were scared one by one. After all, the power of the brocade guards has long been like thunder. The five of them went directly to the door of Lin Zimo's government office without any obstruction.
Wang Qiang, who was on duty, stopped them and said without any fear: "Please stay. If you have business, wait outside the door for a moment, and wait for me to go in and inform the master first.
Jinyi Weishi looked at him carefully and noticed that the other party did not show any fear, and then looked at him standing next to him. The tall bald head showed the same eyes as Wang Qiang. Judging from his more than 20 years of experience, these two people must be dead men in the Lin Zimo Wolf Tooth Guard, otherwise they would not be afraid to see their clothes.
Jinyiwei, who had seen the imperial edict for a long time, knew that this errand was not to capture Lin Zimo, so he didn't want to make both sides have a holiday for trivial matters. He said politely, "Okay, let's wait here for a moment."
Wang Qiang just opened the door, walked in without hurry, and made a general account for Lin Zimo. Sitting on the chair, he slowly put down the brush in his hand. His first reaction was that there must be no good thing. After all, the brocade guards came. No matter how bad it is, as a local chief official, I still see it. It's better to know that Lin Zimo, whose intention came, told Wang Qiang to let the five people in first. After all, everything can't be just guessed.
Wang Qiang, who turned around and walked out, saw the five of them again. He made an action in his hand and said, "Please inside."
The five brocade guards walked into Lin Zimo's office at a uniform speed, and he couldn't rest assured. He ordered Ji baldou to quickly inform Gao Xiang and three others to come. If they want to catch the forest and leave silently, Wang Qiang vowed to stop it. Even if the other party is a brocade guard, he still doesn't put it in his eyes. I only have one belief, which is to be loyal to Lin Zimo.
Take out the imperial edict to direct the affairs, and you have to follow the rules. Although Lin Zimo was reluctant to kneel down and accept the order, he had to do so. After all, this is the Ming Dynasty, not modern society. He got up from the chair and slowly walked to them, kneeling on his knees to listen to the other party's announcement.
Jinyiwei's command was to launch the imperial edict and read it in a loud voice. Lin Zimo, who listened carefully, did not show any objection or dissatisfaction except for Ji Xiaojuan's matter. It was not until the other party finished reading that he took the imperial edict with both hands and stood up quickly.
"Lord Lin, you'd better call Ji Xiaojuan out so that we can take her away." Jinyiwei's commanding incident is not cold or hot.
Lin Zimo knew that it was impossible not to hand over Ji Xiaojuan. After all, this was the emperor's intention, and they were just the people who did this for the master. I really don't want to give her away, but there's nothing I can do. He can't commit a great crime against the Holy will for Ji Xiaojuan.
Ji Xiaojuan was taken away by them, which may be nine deaths, but Lin Zimo can only do it with pain. If you don't hand over her results, you will definitely be regarded as a conspiracy. At that time, Yang Mengqi and Chu Hanlu will not only not survive, but even those who have a little relationship with themselves will be ordered to be executed. If he raids the family and destroys the family, the nine clans will be his final end.
Lin Zimo's face showed a happy look and said, "Since the five people have come to Guiping City, I am not in a hurry at this time. I have prepared thin wine for you in the best restaurant in the city, and I hope you can have a good face.
The commander of Jinyiwei, who did not refuse, has long received the relevant news and said sincerely: "Lord Lin, I know that you are deeply affectionate. However, this is the above meaning, so I will definitely take people away, otherwise none of our five families will survive. Please don't embarrass us."
Lin Zimo didn't give up and said, "I just need you to give me one more night. Early tomorrow morning, you can take people away. So far, I still hope you can be a little more flexible and understand my mood at this time.
The commander of Jinyiwei knew that he did not dare to let Ji Xiaojuan go. After all, his future and countless lives were completely worthless for a maid. It's not difficult for me to insist on taking her away now. However, the Jinyiwei commander, who has a deep understanding of human affairs, knows that the advantage of his tolerance is that he can eat, drink and get with his subordinates. After some consideration, he concluded that the matter was laborious and risk-free, so he agreed to Lin Zimo's request.
Lin Zimo, who looked both happy and bitter, called Mao Yong, took them to the best restaurant in the city to eat and drink, and gave them a generous gift to the five of them. Wang Qiang and five others standing outside the door thought that there was something to do, but Lin Zimo did not give them any instructions. Even if he leads them to kill Jinyiwei very cleanly, he still can't get rid of the situation of suspicion. After all, he is the biggest beneficiary and the only object of questioning in the whole matter.
Lin Zimo, who put down all the business in his hand, returned to the Houhua Hall in a depressed mood. Ji Xiaojuan still made her favorite tea for him as usual. Instead of tasting tea, she let her stay. He looked carefully at her who was implicated by innocence.
Ji Xiaojuan clearly felt the strangeness of her master today and said, "Sir, is my maidservant's face dirty?"
Lin Zimo said with some strong smiles: "No. You sit down first. Let's just have a chat."
Ji Xiaojuan sat down generously and still smiled without knowing the inside story: "What do you want to talk about?"
After Lin Zimo blurted out the word 'casual', he fell into deep thought. I am really powerless in this matter. He has neither the bully spirit nor the plug-in magic weapon, so he has to accept the current reality. Ji Xiaojuan, who was sitting next to her, faintly felt something bad. Although she is not clear, she can see his pain. Lin Zimo didn't say anything, and Ji Xiaojuan didn't ask. The two sat quietly like this. It was not until Cai Yue came to invite him to dinner that he came to his senses.
Lin Zimo, who did not plan to have dinner with Yang Mengqi and Chu Hanlu, ordered, "I won't go. You ask the little maids to set a table for me and Ji Xiaojuan here, and tell the kitchen to cook all the specialty dishes for me.
I took a look at Ji Xiaojuan's Caiyue and noticed that she lowered her head and blushed. She also thought that her master had done good with her in the flower hall. The picking of the moon, which was not very pleasant in my heart, did not dare to disobey, so I had to follow Lin Zimo's instructions.
Yang Mengqi frowned slightly when he heard the news. She did not show jealousy of Ji Xiaojuan, but felt that the matter was very abnormal and strange. I didn't ask my father-in-law why. After all, I think it's best not to disturb the two of them now. Chu Hanlu showed an indifferent look. In her opinion, everything is normal.
Ji Xiaojuan, who was in the flower hall, stood up slowly and said puzzled, "How can I ask you to treat me so well?"
Lin Zimo, who shook his head, smiled bitterly and said, "The master is incompetent. If he can't protect the peace and happiness of your life, he can't treat you well. I can only prepare this table of thin wine for you to make a feast for our guests.
Ji Xiaojuan, who heard the meaning of the words, knelt down, and tears rolled out of her eyes. Her voice was choked to further confirm, "Is the master going to drive away the maidservant?"
Lin Zimo, who got up in a hurry, helped her up, looked solemn and said meaningfully, "It's not me, but the emperor."
