The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 414 Lin Zichu made himself a cocoon, Cui Jigui didn't talk about martial arts
Lin Chao never expected that senior brother Cui Yan would be so ignorant of martial arts.

I haven't seen each other for nearly a year, who knows that I have put such a big hat on myself just after meeting.

Although you, Cui Jigui, are in charge of discipline and have the right to supervise all officials in Xuzhou, you can't just defile people's innocence!

What happened to me?
What a joke, I, Lin Zichu, acted aboveboard all my life, looking up to the sky, and bowing down to the ground!
Besides, all the Xuzhou government orders are in my hands.How can I take the lead in violating the decree I made myself?

So Lin Chao thought about it for a long time, but he didn't realize what he had done.

But Cui Yan was not polite to him, and as soon as he waved his sleeves, two officials rushed up behind him, and were about to carry Lin Chao to the government office.

"What is the crime of XX, why is XX arrested!"

Lin Chao shouted.

"Who said they're going to arrest you?" Cui Yan smiled, "I just invited you to come. Even though you are the governor of Xuzhou, you can't know how to break the law."

Knowing the law and breaking the law, are you talking about yourself!
Lin Chao was not convinced and said, "Cui Jigui, do you have any evidence for your claim that XX violated the law? If there is no evidence, XX will definitely sue you in front of Duke Xuande!"

"Junior brother, don't worry, brother has already prepared the evidence for you, what do you think it is?"

As he spoke, Cui Yan took out a government order from his bosom and threw it to Lin Chao.

Lin Chao took it over and took a look, and found that it was the new policies promulgated by Xuzhou last year, and most of them were drawn up by himself.And Lin Chao can be sure that he has never violated any of the above regulations.

Uncle Fu has always run the family very strictly, and it is absolutely impossible for him to condone his servants breaking the law.

Therefore, there is only one truth,
That's Cui Yan, that bastard, wronging himself!
Cui Jigui looks like a big-eyed guy, who knew he could do such a thing, it's really unexpected!
Seeing Lin Chao's still unconvinced expression, Cui Yan pointed to one of them and said, "Junior Brother, just look here."

Hearing this, Lin Chao hurriedly looked down.I saw that the article Cui Yan was referring to happened to be made by Lin Chaoli, regarding the punishment of the daughters in the family who did not marry after the age of 17.

Male colleges should be married, female colleges should be married.

In order to develop Xuzhou's population, Lin Chao made regulations last year.

If a girl in the family does not marry after the age of 17, she will be paid double as a tax, and every year she grows older, she will be paid twice as much.

There is no problem with this decree, but Lin Chao has a problem.

Is there any unmarried woman in my family who is over 17 years old?

It seems not.

Thinking of this, Lin Chao became confident.

"Cui Jigui, don't you be bloody, when did you violate this law?"

Cui Yan smiled and said, "Junior brother, let me ask you, the lady from the Chen family lives in your house, does she count as your Lin family?"

"This……"

Not good, that bastard Cui Yan has discovered Huadian!

Lin Chao hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Of course it counts."

"That's right." Cui Yan said with a righteous face, "As far as I know, Mrs. Chen is now twenty-three, and she should hand in seven times the gift, but last year you only handed in the Lin Fu. Let’s do the math. Junior brother, do you think this is knowingly breaking the law?”

These are just trivial matters. Uncle Fu may have been negligent when he made the statistics and handed in the taxes last year, and missed Mr. Chen.Given the status of the Lin Mansion in Xuzhou, naturally no petty official dared to come to investigate.

In the past few days, when Cui Yan was counting last year's taxes, he just discovered this matter, so he ran over excitedly.

With all the witnesses and material evidence, Lin Chao could no longer deny it, and immediately changed his appearance.

"Senior brother..." Lin Chao's face was full of flattery, "It's just a few trivial things. Last year, I went to war, and the housekeeper at home was just a momentary negligence. Why should I be so serious. This will make people pay another six calculations, how about it?"

Cui Yan shook his head: "Junior brother, it's already late, you should go with XX."

"Wait a minute!" Lin Chao yelled hastily, "Even if someone violates this law, he will only be fined some money, and he should definitely not be imprisoned!"

Seeing that Lin Chao was still trying to defend himself, Cui Yan simply did it himself, dragging Lin Chao to the government office.

"Junior brother, don't panic. I didn't say that I would arrest you and go to jail. I just wanted you to go to the government office and draw a portrait of you."

Hearing this, Lin Chao suddenly thought of something, and exclaimed in his heart that something was wrong!

When I first made this decree, I also considered that some noble families were not short of money, so they didn't care about paying several times more fines.So another punishment was conceived,
That's the honor roll!

As long as those in high positions and wealthy families dared to break the law, the craftsmen would draw portraits of them, and at the same time, attach the crimes they committed and paste them on the notice board at the gate of the city. People tell their stories.

This move can be called murderous, not only fined, but also let them die in order to ensure the smooth implementation of the new policy.

But Lin Chaowan never thought that one day this punishment mechanism would fall on him!

It can be said that you are in a cocoon.

Now facing the stern and selfless Cui Yan, Lin Chao had no choice but to plead for mercy.

"Senior brother, can we have a discussion and let some one go this time, how about it?"

Hearing this, Cui Yan turned his head, with deep meaning in his eyes, and said: "Junior Brother, you really don't want to go with a certain one?"

The moment he saw Cui Yan's gaze, Lin Chao finally understood what he meant.

As the implementer and supervisor of the New Deal, Cui Yan must have encountered difficulties, so he came to make an example of others.

Only this time, Lin Chao is the chicken.

The process of implementing the New Deal will certainly not be smooth sailing, and there are plenty of opponents.The law does not blame the public, even if Cui Yan has the responsibility of supervision, it is impossible to deal with all these people.

So he came here to establish his prestige by taking advantage of Lin Chao's status!
Chen's calculation of Fu is not a fart at all, it's just an excuse for Cui Yan.

I just want the world to know that even the powerful Supervisor Lin was punished by Cui Yan for such a trivial matter. Who would dare to touch Cui Yan's eyebrows in the future?

In this way, most of those opponents will fall apart on their own, and the resistance to implementing the New Deal will be greatly reduced.

After thinking about all this, Lin Chao looked at Cui Yan, with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Senior Brother, you are very calculating."

"Zi Chu won the prize. Being a brother is just borrowing your old wisdom. Let's go."

This time, Lin Chao did not refuse again, but followed Cui Yan obediently, waiting for his portrait to be the top of the high honor list tomorrow.

This was just a show, both Lin Chao and Cui Yan knew it well, but the servants of the Lin Mansion didn't know it.Seeing that Cui Yan had taken Lin Chao away, they panicked and reported to Uncle Fu.

The Patriarch was taken away by the government?

When Uncle Fu first heard this sentence, his first reaction was that it was impossible!
Uncle Fu didn't know exactly Lin Chao's specific position and status in Xuzhou, but he could guess a thing or two from the attitude of Liu Bei and others towards their Patriarch.

What is it that can make Liu Shijun so angry that he directly takes the Patriarch away!
Although Uncle Fu was loyal, he didn't know much after all. After hearing the servant's embellished narration, he panicked, and hurriedly turned to find Lin Xilai for advice.

After hearing this, Lin Xi shook her head and smiled.

Just kidding, my brother is now in Xuzhou, he can be said to be under one person and above ten thousand people.

Without the lord personally coming forward, who would dare to take away elder brother!
But unable to bear Uncle Fu's repeated persuasion, Lin Xi felt a little guilty in her heart, and immediately set off to go to the government office for a walk.

When he arrived at the government office, Lin Chaozheng was sitting in front of the table bored, holding a handful of dried meat in his hands, and was happily eating at this moment.

On the opposite side, a painter was drawing Lin Chao's appearance.Cui Yan next to him was also writing furiously, carefully recording the crimes committed by Lin Chao.

Of course this play must continue, so after returning home, Lin Xi told Uncle Fu according to the crime Cui Yan had recorded.

Hearing this, Uncle Fu burst into tears immediately, full of remorse and said: "It's all my fault for my incompetence. Last year, I neglected the matter of the Chen family's wife's calculation of the gift! Now that I have brought down the family's reputation, this old slave deserves death!"

Lin Xi saw that Uncle Fu was overreacting, so she tried to comfort him.

"Uncle Fu, you can't blame you for what happened to Mrs. Chen, and my brother doesn't care about these false names, so you don't have to blame yourself too much."

Uncle Fu still couldn't stop his tears, and cried: "The head of the family has always had a clean name. Even though he is in a high position, he still obeys the law and never acts like a villain. Now he is wronged because of this matter. This is all the old slave's fault." crime……"

In this era when fame outweighs life, Uncle Fu naturally has reason to cry.

When Lin Xi saw this, she wanted to persuade her again, but she heard an exclamation from behind her. She hurriedly turned her head to look, and saw Mrs. Chen standing not far away, covering her mouth with her hands. A look of disbelief.

"Zixu, you just said that Brother Lin's reputation has been affected by the crime of being a concubine!"

……

Drawing portraits is actually a very inefficient thing, but in this era without cameras, it can only be so.

Lin Chao sat quietly in the government office for more than an hour, until his waist ached and his back ached, and finally he was done.After the ink was dry, Lin Chao took a look and nodded in satisfaction.

This painter...although it was somewhat abstract, he was still very satisfied that he didn't paint himself as blind and deaf.

Next to him, Cui Yan stood up and saluted Lin Chao to the end, apologetically saying: "Zi Chu, I have wronged you this time."

"It's just that everyone has their own responsibilities. Brothers don't have to do this. Besides, this new policy was decided by someone himself, and now it is a proper meaning to lose some reputation because of it."

After bidding farewell to Cui Yan, Lin Chao turned around and left the government office, strolling on the street.

After not taking two steps, he saw Tai Shici hurried over with several people.

After seeing Lin Chao, Tai Shici rushed up and clasped his fists and said, "Supervisor, I heard that you were taken away by people sent by the government office, and the rescue came late, please forgive me!"

Hearing this, Lin Chao smiled wryly and shook his head. It seems that this is also the news that senior brother Cui Yan deliberately spread.

My senior brother is really a good method.

Once this news spread, his plan was half successful.

Facing Tai Shici's apology, Lin Chao waved his hand, signaling him to get up.

"It's just a few trivial things, Ziyi doesn't have to blame himself."

As he said that, Lin Chao looked at the noon sun, it was warm on his body, and after sweeping away the haze of winter, he said with a free and easy smile, "Today's spring is just right, Ziyi, would you like to go with someone?"

"As ordered!"

Tai Shici immediately cupped his fists and said.

Neither Lin Chao nor Tai Shici noticed that there were three people secretly watching them not far behind them.

The person on the left, who looks like a fairy, is Zuo Ci.Half a step behind him, his apprentice Ge Xuan stood quietly.

And on the right side of Zuo Ci, there is a person with a strange face, it is Yu Ji.

Yu Ji said, "Zuo Yuanfang, Lin Zichu is not far ahead."

Hearing this, Zuo Ci nodded and said with a smile: "Waiting for the old man to test it out and see if this Lin Zichu really has supernatural powers."
