Chapter 1434 Reactions from all parties!

Regardless of which dynasty, the governor of Kyoto is always the most difficult official to be. There are powerful people everywhere and no matter what he does, he is subject to checks and balances.

Isn't there a saying that goes, "If you are unlucky enough, you will be a county magistrate in a suburb; if you do evil things in a suburb, you will be a provincial capital in a suburb; if you are full of evil, you will be a capital city in a suburb."

Mei Zhili's job as the prefect of Kyoto is not easy. He is always in fear of getting into trouble. After all, there are countless people with higher positions than him. He always hopes to be transferred.

After finishing his official business, he was just about to pack up and go home. The time for court was too early, so he had to go back and hug his concubine for a nap at noon every day.

Before he could get up and leave, he heard the news that Lin Gong, the son of Prime Minister Lin, was arrested by the eldest prince and thrown into jail. Mei Zhili was so frightened that sweat broke out on his forehead. He couldn't afford to offend either of them!
Moreover, Lin Gong was the prince's disciple. Unlike his usual slow movements, he stood up in one leap and rushed to the side of his confidant.

"Hurry, hurry, take this official's letter and go to Prime Minister Lin's residence to explain this matter immediately!"

"Yes, sir." But the clerk didn't even leave.

Mei Zhili suddenly sighed: "Forget it, I'll go there myself~"

However, he was turned away at the door of Lin's house. Prime Minister Lin was truly cunning and treacherous. How could he possibly meet the Governor of Kyoto at this time? So he simply avoided him.

"Sir, what should we do now? The Second Young Master and the Crown Prince are close friends. How about we go directly to the East Palace?"

"Pa~" Mei Zhili was in a bad mood and slapped one of his men when he heard the words.

"What kind of stupid ideas are these? If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows about this, wouldn't it mean that we are incompetent?"

Beating someone can indeed make you feel better. Mei Zhili turned his head to look at the tightly closed prime minister's residence and let out a long sigh.

"Immediately send someone to Wucheng Bingma Temple to bring the second young master to the government office, and then send someone to the palace to report!"

"Follow me~"

Li Chengru also heard about this in the yamen, and the tea that had just entered his mouth spat out.

"puff!"

This is the first time I’ve seen such a brainless person. How did he get to his current position?
Moreover, he looked down on Mei Zhili, who looked cunning and like a fox, but actually had no idea what was going on at all.

Can't you see the pattern?
The reason why Emperor Qing replaced him last year and appointed him as the deputy commander of the Five Cities Army was that he was obviously dissatisfied with him, but he didn't change at all.

As the prefect of Kyoto, you actually dared to secretly join the prince's camp. At your age, aren't you tired of living?

If I were the emperor, I would have to find time to kill him. This is no joke, and the ending in the play is my own fault.

Although Lao Bi Deng likes to raise poisonous insects and trains his two sons like fighting cocks, and also allows ministers in the court to take sides, anyone can defect to the prince, even Lin Gong, the son of Prime Minister Lin!
But only Mei Zhili can't do it!
Ultimately it’s because of the position. The prefect of Kyoto is too important. If the prince has military power, there will definitely be a Xuanwu Gate coup!

The key point is that you have been doing it secretly when you came to him. This guy has caused a lot of trouble in the city, especially his stupid son, who always fights for favors in brothels and claims to be a disciple of the prince.

Li Chengru felt a little sorry for his adopted brother. What kind of people were under his command? Just look at the second prince.

Although Xie Bian and Fan Wujiu sound a little cautious, they are definitely talents, and there are a lot of people available on their mother's side. Concubine Shu's family has been a family of scholars for generations!

The situation on the prince's side was different. The nine clans of the queen had almost all been killed, and the remaining ones were all ugly and timid. They were so frightened by what happened that year that they didn't dare to get involved at all!

Poor thing~

At this time, a clerk came in to report: "Sir, the prefect Mei sent someone to imprison Lin Gong in the government office!"

"Let him eat his shit!" In Li Chengru's eyes, this man's life has already entered the countdown, and he is still helping the prince at this time.

If he doesn't die, who will?
Li Chengru did not deliberately block the news that Lin Gong, the son of Prime Minister Lin, had been arrested, and even seemed to be fanning the flames.

So the news quickly spread throughout Kyoto. To use modern terms, it became a hot topic on the front page of the news.

The reactions of the crowd were mixed. It can be said that everyone was just watching the fun.

"Alas, there is only the eldest prince in the entire Daqing Kingdom. Otherwise, who would dare to mess with the second son of Prime Minister Lin's family?" "Shh, keep your voice down. If someone hears us, our careers will be over~"

"Brother Liu is right!"

Prince's Mansion.

The second prince, who was sitting barefoot on the couch reading a book, jumped up with excitement when he heard the news and started dancing in the room.

"Oh, this is great, this is really God's help, I must thank my good brother in the future!"

"Xie Bian, immediately send someone to spread this matter throughout the capital, and emphasize that the second son of the Lin family is disregarding human life. I want to see how the prince reacts. Lin Gong is the person he values ​​most among his disciples!"

The Crown Prince's East Palace was inside the palace, and sometimes the news was delayed. It was already evening when they found out about this incident, and they were so anxious that they were jumping up and down.

He grabbed the little eunuch in front of him, and the veins on his arms were bulging with excitement.

"You...say it to me again!"

"Your Highness, it is absolutely true. It has spread all over Kyoto now~" The little eunuch was so scared that he stammered.

"Hurry...hurry, I want to leave the palace to find my brother!"

"Your Highness, you are..."

"Bang!" Li Chengqian raised his foot and kicked the young eunuch in front of him to the ground.

He shouted at the top of his lungs: "Quick!"

"Yes, sir~" This time the little eunuch didn't dare to say any more nonsense.

At this time, Emperor Qing was also confused. He couldn't understand why Li Chengru wanted to offend the Lin family.

While sharpening the arrowhead in his hand, he said slowly, "Hong Sixiang, what do you think my eldest son means?"

With a "whoosh", an old eunuch suddenly appeared in the empty hall.

Hong Sixiang bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, as far as I know, it was Lin Gong, the second son of Prime Minister Lin, who killed a family of seven in the suburbs!"

"It just so happened that His Highness was fishing nearby. When he learned about this, a conflict broke out between the two sides. Finally, when the cavalry from the Five Cities Military Division arrived, they killed all of the Lin family's guards. The second son of the Lin family was also beaten and thrown into jail!"

"Swish~" There was no sign of anger on Emperor Qing's face, but he used his true energy to draw the bow and shoot the arrow, directly piercing the armor not far away.

He didn't care about the seven lives, but asked, "What was Lin Ruofu's reaction?"

"Minister Lin didn't do anything, but just now, Lord Mei Zhili, the governor of Kyoto, learned about this and rushed to visit him, but was blocked outside the door!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Qing narrowed his eyes suddenly, but soon recovered and continued to sharpen his arrowheads...

The Lin Mansion was not peaceful at this time. All the servants were trembling with fear, afraid that something might go wrong, and they stared at the main hall one by one.

"Father, you have to save my second brother~" Wearing a white dress and with a delicate face, Lin Wan'er looks sweet, cute and playful, but her body is a little thin.

"Cough, cough, cough~" He couldn't help but cover his chest and cough anxiously.

"Wan'er, don't worry. Your father is already thinking of a way. The eldest prince won't do anything to your brother!" Lin Ruofu hurried forward to comfort his daughter.

In fact, he was able to keep his composure, thinking that even if his son was imprisoned, he would not be in any danger and would only suffer some physical pain at most.
