Chapter 294: Those who are close to red are red; those who are close to ink are black
  Ma Ji was secretly happy, knowing that Lin Yun wanted to give him a chance to establish his authority.

It is said that the three things a new official does when he takes office are actually not unknown. He just wants to establish his prestige. Without prestige, how can he gain the support of everyone in Haocheng?

Soon, Lin Yun and Ma Ji, supported by a group of officers and soldiers, finally entered the main hall of the inner palace.

As soon as the two of them sat down, several officers and soldiers escorted Lin Jinbiao in. With a hard push, Lin Jinbiao knelt on the ground.

He was extremely nervous at the moment, especially because he didn't know Lin Yun's attitude, which made him feel on pins and needles.

But at this moment, he didn't dare to show any cowardice. He quickly stood up, adjusted his robes, and said in a deep voice: "Lin Yun, what do you mean? Even if you want to kill me, you have to let me die." clear!"

Lin Yun sneered and said: "Don't be nervous, I'm just a guest today! Whether you live or die depends on Master Ma's wishes!"

Lin Yun directly called Ma Ji an "adult", which made Ma Ji very uncomfortable. He coughed awkwardly, slapped the table and shouted: "Lin Jinbiao, do you know your guilt?"

Lin Jinbiao smiled coldly, and understood what it meant, and said: "You know the crime? There is no need to accuse someone! Ma Ji, you don't have to be pretentious, just do it if you want to kill me! I know you have this brat backing you now, You can do whatever you want, but don’t forget that I am the master invited by the previous governor of Haocheng, and at the same time, I am still a member of the Lin family. If you really have the courage, just try touching me!"

Ma Ji was obviously stunned and glanced at Lin Yun awkwardly.

Lin Yun, on the other hand, was leaning on the Taishi's chair, holding a teacup in one hand and looking at the scenery outside the door.

He just said that it depends on Ma Ji's performance.

In the past, Ma Ji was just Qiu Guangri's subordinate, a slave who worked for others.

But things are different now. Being the governor of Haocheng can be regarded as a chief official. If he can't do this, he can only blame Lin Yun for being blind and choosing him to be the leader.

Seeing Lin Yun's expression, Ma Jizhi finally made up his mind and said in a deep voice: "Lin Jinbiao, do you really think I don't know anything? Last time we said goodbye, I investigated everything about you after I returned. A total of seven sins have been committed! Enough to get you beheaded seven times!"

With that said, Ma Ji took out a book directly from his arms.

Lin Yun saw this and secretly approved.

After all, Ma Ji has just taken up the position and has not yet secured his position. Even if he wants to do something, it will be difficult to get the cooperation of his subordinates without authority.

Therefore, he still needs to do a lot of work if he wants to successfully ascend to the throne.

And he prepared Lin Jinbiao's crime in advance. In Lin Yun's view, it was equivalent to hitting Lin Jinbiao's Achilles' heel.

Some things just can't be left on the table.

He didn't even need to ask. If he just picked one up, it would definitely be a serious crime.

Sure enough, Lin Jinbiao was a little panicked, his eyes were fixed on the fold, and he said with an inward look: "Master Ma, don't talk nonsense! Everything I ever did was to make suggestions for Tian Jingyu. Even if I really did something inappropriate, It’s not what I want!”

Ma Ji smiled coldly. When Lin Jinbiao called him "sir", it proved that he wanted to be submissive and said: "Then do you want me to read it out in public, so that all the officers and soldiers present can hear what immoral things you have done over the years?"

"No... no need! Mr. Ma, we have something to talk about!" After saying that, he looked at Lin Yun again and said: "Lin Yun, you should say something! Didn't you let me think it over carefully last time? I already I understand, I am willing to join you!!"

Lin Jinbiao was willing to bow his head, naturally he was convinced but not convinced.

But he also understood that his seven inches had been completely controlled by Lin Yun and Ma Ji.

Once some things are made public, his reputation will be ruined. Before the time comes, even the Lin family will send people to hunt him down.

Over the years, he has made a lot of money in Haocheng by taking advantage of his position.

Most of this was done in the name of collecting taxes for the Lin family.

In fact, all the tax money he paid went to his own pocket, and Tian Jingyu was only the governor of Haocheng in name only, but secretly they were working together.

Otherwise, there would be no famine in Haocheng.

They were so bold that they actually took out all the rations of the people in Haocheng and sold them for money.

In order to cope with the Lin family's investigation, he even bribed people to silence the Lin family's special commissioner.

In his opinion, as long as you have money, there is nothing you can't do.

Lin Yun sat up straight, crossed his legs again, and said: "I said, I am just a guest today. Everything depends on Master Ma's wishes. If Master Ma wants to kill you, then I, the guest, will not count. You’re still going to die!”

Seeing Lin Yun being so pretentious, Lin Jinbiao was itching with hatred.

At this time, Ma Ji saw that his psychological defense was broken, and immediately struck while the iron was hot, saying: "Okay, Lin Jinbiao, I have just taken office, today is a good day, and I don't want to see blood! Let's do this, as long as you promise me one condition, Not only will I not kill you, but I will continue to let you stay as my master, how about that?"

Lin Yun, who had been listening, his eyes lit up and his ears pricked up again. He was very curious about what conditions Ma Ji would propose.

Lin Jinbiao had a look of astonishment on his face. At this moment, he vaguely saw the shadow of Lin Yun on Ma Ji, and he was even more sure that this rhetoric must have been ordered by Lin Yun in advance.

After thinking about it, he could only nod and said: "Master Ma, tell me first!"

"The great famine disaster in Haocheng this time was entirely caused by you and the dead Tian Jingyu. Don't deny it. I have already investigated clearly and will never wrongly accuse you! Now, I will give you a If you have the opportunity to reform, hand over the one hundred thousand taels of silver you were greedy to use for disaster relief, and you can make up for your mistakes. When the time comes, even if Mr. Lin wants to deal with you, I can intercede on your behalf!"

It is said that those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are dark. Ma Ji has been following Lin Yun for so long, and he has been infected with Lin Yun's character, and he has put these techniques into practice.

Lin Yun immediately grinned after hearing what he said, admiring that this move was indeed wonderful.

As the culprit, Lin Jinbiao naturally couldn't take advantage of him, and they had no reason to wipe Lin Jinbiao's ass.

It was indeed a clever move to let him spit out the money he had eaten.

Ma Ji glanced at Lin Yun secretly, and when he saw the smile on Lin Yun's lips, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I understand that I have finally passed the test.

Since the last night talk between Lin Yun and him, Ma Ji has locked himself in the study these days, thinking of countermeasures all day long.

It was also by chance that when he looked at the evidence of Lin Jinbiao's crimes collected by his men, he suddenly realized that the person who tied the bell must also be tied to untie it.

All the disasters in Haocheng were caused by Lin Jinbiao. As long as he spit out the money he was greedy for, it would not only solve Haocheng's urgent needs, but also allow him to establish an image in front of Lin Yun. Such a good thing that kills two birds with one stone, Ma Ji would naturally not miss.
