Martial Arts: This world is different

Chapter 406 Desperate

As soon as Lin Hu heard that the opportunity had come, he immediately said, "This subordinate dare not say anything."

Ji Gangwen couldn't help being slightly taken aback when he heard this. He has been in the officialdom for a long time, and he can hear the meaning behind Lin Hu's words. Obviously, the things involved behind this matter are quite complicated. If he were another official, he might not dare to delve into it, but After all, Ji Gang was the celebrity in front of Zhu Di, and he had the power for a while, so he asked at that time: "Although you can tell me, what can I do for you?"

Hearing Ji Gang's words, Lin Hu immediately felt confident, and immediately said: "Actually, according to my subordinates and others' speculation, most of the people who assassinated me were from the Han Palace."

Ji Gang guessed that the person behind this incident must be a great person, but he never expected that it would be the King of Han, so he was surprised for a moment, and hurriedly asked: "Do you have proof?"

Lin Hu introduced everyone's analysis at that time, and Ji Gang's eyes kept rolling when he heard it.

"So these are all your guesses and have no evidence?"

"That's right, but the subordinates are sure that this matter is inseparable."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"Report this to Lord Long Live."

Ji Gang was stunned again when he heard this, he didn't expect that Lin Hu would be so courageous, he dared to report on the King of Han directly, and he pretended to be angry at that time: "Bold, do you know the consequences of doing so!?"

Lin Hu immediately said: "My subordinates are clear, but Jin Yiwei is the emperor's guard, and someone dared to assassinate openly. If this matter is not investigated, where is the majesty of Long Live? Where is the law of the country? You don't look good either."

"This..." Ji Gang was hesitant when he heard this, and Lin Hu hurriedly continued after seeing this.

"What's more, this move will benefit you as a commander."

Ji Gangwen frowned and asked, "How do you say that?"

Lin Hu looked around and said, "Can you allow me to speak further?"

Ji Gang nodded when he heard this, and Lin Hu stepped forward to Ji Gang's side and whispered: "The King of Han is so powerful now, and you will be in the way of the commander. If we can succeed in the prosecution this time, we will beat the King of Han." Isn’t the arrogance of the commander good for you? Of course, if the report fails, all the crimes will be borne by the humble person, and the commander will never be implicated.”

Ji Gang heard that his eyeballs moved, and he seemed thoughtful. Lin Hu was in Jinyiwei for a long time, and he knew that his immediate boss was ambitious and wanted to seize greater power. It is also an obstacle, Lin Hu's words just hit Ji Gang's mind.

Ji Gang pondered for a while, then said: "This is your own business, and has nothing to do with me."

Lin Hu smiled and said: "That's natural, I don't want anything from a lowly position, but if there is any sign of winning this lawsuit, I hope the commander will add a few words in front of Long Live. If I can be so humble, I will be grateful. There are big rewards."

Hearing this, Ji Gang pretended to be angry and said, "Who do you think I am? Is this the kind of person who makes trouble?"

Lin Hu hurriedly apologized with a smile and said, "The humble official made a slip of the tongue."

Ji Gang stroked his beard at this time, and finally said: "In short, you can handle this matter yourself, no matter whether you succeed or fail, don't implicate me, understand?"

"This subordinate understands." Lin Hu agreed, he understood that Ji Gang actually acquiesced in his behavior, but this man has been in the officialdom for a long time, he is very cunning, and he is unwilling to be caught by anyone. Lin Hu did not It is expected that Ji Gang can help a lot in this matter, as long as he does not add trouble to it, it will be considered a success.

Not long after, Cao Yonggui united a group of eunuchs to report to Zhu Di various illegal acts of the King of Han, such as usurping imperial chariots and horses, keeping dead soldiers privately, and killing court officials without authorization. Lin Hu also took the opportunity to report his assassination. However, he was more careful, and only said that he suspected that it was done by the people of the King of Han's mansion, and he was not clearly pointed at the King of Han.

Everyone's move is actually a bit desperate. If they fail to sue the King of Han, they will inevitably attract crazy revenge from the other party. However, Lin Hu knows that Cao Yonggui is fine. The other eunuchs dare not do that if they are not sure. Most people are also snobs, obviously they should have smelled some rumors and knew that Zhu Di was already somewhat dissatisfied with Hanwang's actions, so they dared to take such a risk.

Facts have proved that Lin Hu and the others were right this time. Zhu Di was furious when he heard about these incidents, and immediately sent someone to investigate thoroughly. In fact, almost all the things Han Wang did were semi-public, and he didn’t intend to conceal them deliberately. Now a little investigation will immediately prove the evidence.

In fact, just like what Lin Hu and Cao Yonggui analyzed before, how to determine the nature of these things that the King of Han did is in Zhu Di’s thoughts. All kinds of things, Zhu Di was already a little tired of this second son, and finally decided to abandon him, so these criminal evidences gave Zhu Di a legitimate reason.

Soon after, the group returned to Nanjing. Not long after arriving, Zhu Di immediately made a verdict, decreed to reprimand the King of Han, and at the same time deprived him of his crown and clothes, and imprisoned him in the Xihua Gate.

The so-called wall fell and everyone pushed it. Originally, when the King of Han gained power, most of the officials obeyed, and there was no time to flatter the horse. At this time, seeing that the King of Han lost power, all kinds of accusations came out all at once, and some of them were still the same. However, some of them are completely fussy, and it is clear that they are afraid that they will be classified as Hanwang's party after stepping on them.

Although this was a political norm in feudal dynasties, Lin Hu still felt rather cold in his eyes. These officials and ministers are usually dignified, but in fact their character may not be as good as some ruffians in the rivers and lakes. It's no wonder that these people can do a good job in government affairs together. However, an emperor like Zhu Di seems to need such courtiers. This cannot but be said to be an unavoidable knot in the feudal dynasty.

No matter what happened with Hanwang's loss of power, the pressure faced by Lin Hu and the others suddenly eased a lot, but everyone dared not be careless for a while. Having accumulated considerable strength, these will not disappear as soon as he loses power, so Lin Hu and others are also more vigilant and ready to deal with possible revenge.

After returning to Nanjing, Lin Hu arranged for Qunhao to temporarily live in the Zhongtong Escort, while Yang Fenghuang, Shi Fazong, Pu Sheng, and Du Ping were still taken back to live in his home by Lin Hu. Hani from Li Qi's house was picked up, and Lin Hu felt a lot of emotion when he saw that the deserted home was bustling again.

That day, when Lin Hu finished his work and returned home, his second apprentice, Du Ping, found him: "Master, I have something important to say to you."

Seeing Du Ping's serious face, Lin Hu knew that the situation was serious, so he quickly followed him to a corner and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Du, what's the matter?"
