Bai Yuegang of Prince Ning's Mansion

Chapter 153 Innocent
Fu Yin's sincere and appreciative appearance pleased Jiang Huai who was in a good mood.

Put away the nervous, thin white fingers, eyes slightly narrowed, and said kindly.

"Now that the witnesses and material evidence are all ready, Mr. Fu Yin can try it as soon as possible. It is related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, so Mr. Fu Yin must make a quick decision."

Fu Yin nodded again and again, yes, he has no reason or excuse for delay.

It is impossible to remain neutral after being targeted by Mr. Zuoxiang.

Trembling out of Yunliang Pavilion, he realized that the official uniform on his body was already wet with sweat.

As soon as the cold wind blew, I shivered involuntarily.

It's not that he has never heard of the horror of Lord Zuoxiang, but it is the first time in a long time that he has seen Lord Zuoxiang with his own eyes, and the methods used to deal with political opponents.

Looking back, Yunliang Pavilion, which was a little sluggish during the day, was still lined up in front of the door with people from all walks of life waiting for Jiang Huai to meet.

He didn't hope that he would become one of them one day, so he gripped the list in his hand and started a new round of arrests.

With Jiang Huai's backing, Fu Yin really made a splash.

Confiscating the house, arresting people, and going to jail, a series of actions are ruthless and fast.

For a while, the officials in the capital city were all in danger and trembling all day long.

They all got mixed up in this quagmire of fame and fortune, who could have no black material.

Thinking of ways, relying on relationships, and eventually all have to go in front of the left minister Jiang Huai.

Jiang Huai originally intended to use this incident to eliminate dissidents, to retaliate against the Shang Shu who is now overwhelming him in the court.

The benefits, the money, will be accepted in full. As for whether he will let others go, it depends on his mood.

Something happened to the nobles in the capital, and the bustle of the racecourse in the suburbs gradually subsided.

Since three days ago, Ruixue, as the master of suffering, was told to go to the capital for a church.

It seemed that this case was no longer related to Ruixue and Shibalipu.

The reason is absurd and confusing.

Because there are too many people behind the scenes who worked on Shibalipu, they are entangled with each other, and the relationship is so complicated that it makes people speechless.

Ruixue looked at the dossier that Li Yu brought back, and sighed Jiang Huai's generosity.

He just didn't know how his operation would cause shock in the court, and how he planned to end it.

The case of Shibalipu being burned should have come to an end with Ruixue.

After dinner, Ruixue knocked on the door of Zhao Fengnian's room with a frightening file in hand.

After reading two passages casually, Zhao Fengnian couldn't listen anymore.

"Wanwan knows exactly what the truth is. You just need to say what I need to do next. These people who have been involved for no reason are really innocent."

Ruixue threw the file aside and sneered.

"Innocent, I don't think so." He turned his head and glanced at the file: "Look at this, it's just a chief secretary from the seventh rank. He has been in office for eight years and has embezzled and accepted tens of thousands of taels of bribes."

Turning over a page, he continued: "This is even more outrageous. The little Xie Lilang, who is the eighth grade, protects the local ruffians and bullies to oppress the people, and makes profits from it. The real estate shops have been bought to other counties."

The words fell and looked at Zhao Fengnian who was a little embarrassed.

"There are more, do you want to listen? Don't you think it's too late for these corrupt officials to be brought out today? You think they are innocent."

Zhao Fengnian frowned: "Isn't this a normal thing? Looking at the whole Dalan, isn't it because of power and profit that he embarked on an official career."

Listening to Zhao Fengnian's nonchalant narration, Ruixue's heart turned cold.

Why even he thinks that corruption and using power for personal gain is a normal thing.

She couldn't agree with such a point of view, but she had to admit that this was reality.

This is a hierarchical, extremely autistic feudal monarchy.

The selection of officials depends entirely on recommendation and succession. How can we ask officials to think about the people under their rule.

Here, oppressing and exploiting groups that are more vulnerable than oneself is the way to survive.

Rui Xue has always hoped that she can blend in and adapt, and that the life and death of others has nothing to do with her.

As long as she doesn't do things that bully the weak and the weak, it will be fine.

But knowing that the more she saw, the more depressed she felt.

With a little bit of power in hand, you can bully men and women, bully and dominate the market, and then be suppressed and exploited by more powerful people, step by step.

This is an abnormal and unhealthy social condition.

Rui Xue only felt disgusted, but could do nothing to change anything.

Even Zhao Fengnian felt that those fans who were pushed out by Jiang Huai as cannon fodder were innocent, so what else could she say.

I just felt that I was drained of strength, and a deep disappointment burst out of my heart.

I can't tell if I'm disappointed with the world or with the people in front of me.

"The prince went to the northern border to become a general, is it also for fame and fortune?"

Ruixue didn't know why she asked Zhao Fengnian such a stupid question.

Zhao Fengnian's frown deepened, but his answer was very frank.

"It's not something I can choose, but in my position, I have to seek his own government. Fame and fortune are not dirty and terrible things. It all depends on the person who owns it and how to use it."

Ruixue didn't feel better because of Zhao Fengnian's answer.

Of course she knows that the world is not black and white, but whenever she encounters something that is inconsistent with her three views, she feels extremely uncomfortable and depressed.

He glanced at the frank Zhao Fengnian again, this man probably didn't know what he was angry at.

It's not that he doesn't understand worldly greed and desires, but he just doesn't want to be messed with and collude with those ordinary people.

Is Zhao Fengnian a clean girl? Ruixue doesn't know.

He got up and put away the file, and said to Zhao Fengnian very tiredly.

"Come with me into the palace tomorrow. I have to find someone to make up for the loss of Shibalipu."

Zhao Fengnian nodded in agreement, and got up to send it off, but the hand on the door bolt refused to pull it.

He really wanted Ruixue to stay for a while, even if he didn't say anything, just sitting opposite him would be good.

But after the conversation just now, Zhao Fengnian could clearly feel that Ruixue was in a bad mood.

If he insisted on staying, Ruixue might become even more irritable.

The two of them seldom communicated in the past few days. Zhao Fengnian knew that Ruixue was busy, but he still felt a little lost.

These days in the village, Ruixue no longer cooks in person, nor changes Zhao Fengnian's medicine in person.

Even his favorite dessert is not available every day.

Ruixue allocated more time with him to others.

Huaiyu, Guyu, Machang, Shibalipu, and even the young and old who just moved to the village.

Zhao Fengnian knew he shouldn't be doing this, but whenever he heard Ruixue's voice calling him, he couldn't help but feel lost.

The hand that opened the door became heavier, Ruixue poked her head out from behind Zhao Fengnian holding a pile of files.

"Why, are you reluctant to let me go?"

"Well, I can't bear it."
