Chapter 533: Fulin'an is to be punished, operating in secret
Ye Wanqing was curious and put her arm around Lin Yun's shoulders, also wanting to see the contents of the memorial.

Lin Yun suddenly folded the memorial, grabbed her wrist, and said in a deep voice: "Dad, are all the things written on it true?"

Ye Ruhui nodded solemnly: "Of course! I have been an official for decades and have witnessed too many dirty transactions! This Fulin'an is simply the biggest corrupt official in my Daduan Dynasty!"

It turned out that all the crimes recorded in this memorial were crimes committed by Fulin'an, and greed and amassing money were the least serious crimes.

There are countless crimes such as stealing and selling minerals, smuggling official salt, and indulging in human life.

The most serious ones include colluding with feudal lords of different surnames to plot rebellion, and secretly having fornication with foreign races around the Daduan Dynasty to sell weapons and equipment.

Lin Yun didn't know how to describe this crime, it was tantamount to treason.

Lin Yun said with a dark face: "Father, when you gave me this memorial, did you want me to hand it over to the Emperor?"

Ye Ruhui slowly shook his head: "Actually, I showed this memorial to the emperor a few years ago! But the emperor was afraid of Fulin'an's influence and was even more afraid of causing turmoil in the court, so he always pretended not to know anything! Although I don't I know what you talked about alone with the Emperor today, but one thing I can be sure of is that the Emperor hopes that you can gradually eliminate those cronies under Fulin'an's family first!"

"As long as these cronies are wiped out, Fulin'an will be like a locust in autumn and won't be able to stay alive for a few days!"

Lin Yun suddenly realized it, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "I know what to do!"

Ye Ruhui's eyes lit up: "Oh? Tell me in detail! Maybe I can give you some tips!"

Lin Yun asked, "Dad, do you know Sun Xing, the boss behind Baicaotang?"

Ye Ruhui nodded and said, "I've heard of it! If I remember correctly, Sun Xing should have been the pharmacist at Fulin'an Mansion in the early years!"

"That's right! This old guy knows a lot of Fulin'an's secrets! Last time in Yucheng, Fengyang County, my son-in-law had reached an agreement with the fifth prince and handed over Sun Xing to him! As long as I join forces with the fifth prince, let Sun Xing identify Fu Lin'an. Lin'an, then he will not be able to defend himself!"

Lin Yun assassinated Sun Xuemeng and Sun Hongtao, leaving only Sun Xing, the culprit, in order to use them against Fulin'an.

Although he didn't know the specific inside story before, his intuition told him that Sun Xing could definitely be of great use.

Once Sun Xing chooses to stab Fulinan in the back in order to survive, everything will be easy.

Ye Ruhui raised his head and laughed, saying: "Lin Yun, it seems you are still too young! You actually trust the fifth prince?"

Lin Yun frowned and said, "What? Is there anything wrong?"

"Hey, do you understand the humanity of this fifth prince?"

"I heard the Eight Sages tell me about his situation once!"

Ye Ruhui waved his hand and said: "Lin Yun, listen to my advice and don't bet all your money on the fifth prince! If you really want to trip up Fulin'an, I will recommend someone to you!"

"Who?"

"Meng Yuan...Meng Zhongtang!"

Lin Yun was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't help but recall Meng Yuan's kind smile to him today.

"Dad, isn't Meng Zhongtang colluding with Fulin'an?"

"Did you hear that?"

"The Eighth Prince and the Fifth Prince have said it!"

Ye Ruhui sighed quietly: "Meng Zhongtang is not a corrupt official, he is just greedy for power! Although it seems to outsiders that Meng Zhongtang and Fulin'an are in cahoots, in fact he has more evidence of Fulin'an's crimes!"

Lin Yun suddenly realized that it seemed that he had been deceived by the two princes before. He believed their one-sided words and was almost led astray.

Fortunately, my father-in-law is a good person and has seen everything clearly, otherwise he would definitely fall into trouble. "Thank you dad for reminding me, my son-in-law will definitely come to visit Meng Zhongtang another day!"

Ye Ruhui nodded with a smile, stood up and said, "Let's go, let's not talk about business tonight! I want to have a few drinks with you!"

With that said, he put his arm around Lin Yun's shoulders and went to the dining table.

Afterwards, the whole family happily exchanged glasses and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Because Ye Ruhui was so happy, he drank too much and was helped back to the house to rest by the old lady.

It wasn't until the second watch that Lin Yun left Ye Mansion with his second wife and sisters.

On the way, Ye Wanru said with a grateful face: "Brother-in-law, we haven't seen each other for a long time since we said goodbye last time! But I am really grateful this time for promoting your brother-in-law to the position of Minister of War!"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Yun instantly sobered up and was stunned.

Ye Wanqing frowned and said, "Ms. sir, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Yun said in a deep voice: "Brother-in-law has become the Minister of War?"

He became the Minister of the Ministry of War, which was conferred by the emperor himself. Although the Minister of the Ministry of War was one level lower than the Minister of the Ministry of War, he was still considered a high-ranking official in the court.

There is absolutely no way Qi Rui could arrange this.

Ye Wanru hadn't noticed Lin Yun's strangeness yet, and said excitedly: "Yes! This is all thanks to my brother-in-law! Otherwise, with your brother-in-law's ability, he would never reach this position even if he works for a lifetime!"

Lin Yun smiled awkwardly: "Sister Wanru is so polite! We are all a family and we should help each other!"

"Brother-in-law, if anything happens to your family from now on, just let me know. My sister and brother-in-law will definitely help you unconditionally!"

Lin Yun smiled and said nothing and quickly sent Ye Wanru home.

Now that there were no outsiders, Ye Wanqing asked, "Ms. sir, what's wrong with you? Don't you know about my brother-in-law's promotion?"

Lin Yun smiled bitterly and said: "I did ask Qi Rui to help promote my brother-in-law, but it was only three levels in a row to become a first-class bodyguard! It seems that someone is operating behind the scenes!"

Ye Wanqing said in a deep voice: "Ms. sir, you must find out about this matter, otherwise..."

Lin Yun nodded and said, "I know! Hey, I didn't expect that being an official in the capital would be so tiring!"

Ye Wanqing said with emotion: "Yes! The entire Daduan Dynasty's elites are gathered here. If they can climb to the entire level, no one is an idiot! So, sir... we must be careful about everything, and we can't be like what we did in Fengyang County." It’s up to you!”

Lin Yun hugged her waist and said with a smile: "Well, it's okay! My husband has a good wife like the second lady, so I don't have to worry!"

"Hmph, you are going to be the prince-consort and marry the little princess soon! Do you still need my help?"

Lin Yun fondly rubbed her little Yao's nose with his finger and said with a smile: "Silly girl! The little princess and I are just a political marriage! Li Qingyue is just a bridge of mutual trust between me and the emperor. In my heart, There will always be only you three ladies! So, don’t think too much!”

"That's pretty much it!"

Soon, the two returned to Yun Mansion, and the guards guarding the door immediately paid homage and saluted.

At this time, an old man wearing a black coat came towards him, knelt down on one knee and said: "Little old Du Sheng has seen Lin Zhongtang!"

Lin Yun frowned and said, "Who are you? Why are you in my house?"
