Chapter 574: The Ministry of War is in deficit and trouble comes.

The Eight Sages nodded and smiled: "Don't worry! Although Fulin'an's crime is unpardonable, he has made a lot of contributions to our Daduan Dynasty after all. The imperial court will not humiliate him!"

Then, turn around and leave.

He understood that if the Fu family lost Fulin'an, Fu Tianchen alone would not be enough to achieve success.

In other words, from this moment on, the Fujia family completely withdrew from the stage of court power.

At this time, Fu Tianchen suddenly looked behind him and shouted angrily: "Where is Fu Quan...?"

Fuquan limped out of the crowd, clasped his fists and said, "Second Young Master!"

"Take all the guards of my Fu family and go to Yun Mansion with me!"

He was holding back a lot of anger now. Although his father warned him not to provoke Lin Yun, he really couldn't swallow it.

Of course, he also planned to let Lin Yun know that although his father had fallen, the Fu family had not yet fallen.

In fact, the Eight Wise Kings really underestimated Fu Tianchen's abilities. It can only be said that Fulin'an has protected his eldest son too well over the years and has no chance to display his talents.

"I obey my orders!"

After that, the Fu family dispatched troops and generals, and Fu Tianchen led hundreds of guards straight to Yun Mansion.

But the news that Fulin'an was sent to the Ministry of Punishment Prison had spread throughout the capital as if he had wings.

For a time, there was so much noise that Fulin'an's former disciples avoided him for fear of being implicated.

On the contrary, Meng Yuan and the Eighth Sage King's residence became very lively.

They were afraid that Fulin'an would say something that would implicate themselves, so they could only seek asylum from the two powerful officials.

Of course, the fifth prince was still recovering at home and it was not convenient to see people, so he was not affected at all.

As for Lin Yun, although he was a newly rich and powerful official, he was the mortal enemy of these people, so naturally he did not dare to disturb them.

Yun Mansion.

Lin Yun had finished dinner and was reading the government affairs files of the Ministry of War sent by his eldest brother-in-law Ling Ri in the study.

The imperial court wanted to purchase a large number of landmines for border defense, so he naturally wanted to have a clear grasp of all the situations of the Ministry of War in the past year.

If he doesn't understand the actual situation and whatever the emperor says, then he will be passive in his subsequent work.

Lin Yun already knew that the emperor liked to say one thing and do another. If he could not know himself and his enemy, it would be difficult for him to carry out his subsequent work.

In addition, the Eight Sage King was a slippery guy who would cooperate with the emperor to plot against him from time to time. Lin Yun had to be prepared.

"Hey!" He finished reading all the government files, threw them on the table, and muttered to himself: "I never expected that the Ministry of War, one of the six dignified departments, would be so empty!"

At this time, Ye Wanqing said with a smile: "Ms. sir, what makes you so angry?"

Lin Yun waved his hand and said: "Don't mention it! I thought it would be a good job for my husband to take over the Ministry of War, but in fact the situation is that the Ministry of War has been robbed by those guys! Every year, all the military pay allocated by the court to the Ministry of War is misappropriated in various ways Corruption, there are less than 200,000 taels of silver on the books now, this is the military department of the Daduan Dynasty! How unreasonable!"

Ye Wanqing stood up and came behind him, gently massaged Lin Yun's shoulders, and said: "My husband, please don't be sulky! All along, the Sixth Department has been controlled by several powerful officials in the Military Aircraft Department! It's not just a day or two, even if someone wants to Do practical things, but there will always be people who will secretly hold you back! Your Majesty, you should think about the problem from a different angle. Perhaps this is the original intention of the Emperor in letting you be the Minister of War!"

Lin Yun forced a smile, raised his hand to grab her smooth and boneless little hand, and said, "What the second lady said makes sense! I just didn't expect that my husband would have a share in all of them except Fulin'an! Look at this, we Dad also said that Meng Yuan was only greedy for power and not money! This old guy used various reasons to embezzle a total of 367,000 taels of silver from the Ministry of War in one year! What a huge amount of corruption this is! If all this money was used for the national army , the Daduan Dynasty will not be strong on the outside and weak on the inside, and will not be threatened by those vassal kings and foreign races!"

Ye Wanqing was shocked. Meng Yuan was her father's immediate boss. She didn't expect that there were so many shady things happening in private.

If Ye Ruhui knew about this, there would probably be another big fuss.

"Ms. sir, are you planning to attack a few of them after finishing Fulin'an?"

Lin Yun sneered and said: "Your husband is stupid just once! The emperor said so repeatedly, how could I be fooled and fooled? I will not delve into these things, but since my husband is the Minister of the Ministry of War, I will definitely not let anyone in the future People put their hands in!”

Ye Wanqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief and praised: "Not bad! My husband's ability to adapt is really amazing! I can finally rest assured!"

Lin Yun rolled his eyes and said, "What? Didn't you believe in being a husband before?"

Ye Wanqing smiled slyly: "Yes! My husband has always spoken unscrupulously in Fengyang County, and no one dares to do anything to you! Especially after Lin Fengjiao and Lin Hetu were killed, their popularity has reached its highest level! But the capital city is different, especially These powerful officials are all protecting each other. Even if they are not in the same camp, they still have common interests. If Mr. Xian is still as simple and rude as he was with Fulin'an before, I am afraid that more people will be offended!"

Lin Yun nodded and said with emotion: "What the Second Madam said makes sense! As a father, you have learned a lot!"

He has thought clearly that in the future, as long as his own vital interests are not involved, he will pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Before, he thought that the emperor would clear all obstacles for him, but in fact, he was just a pawn in the emperor's heart, so why did Lin Yun bother?
It's best not to do this kind of thankless work, but to control it within limits and not offend others if possible.

At this moment, a guard with a knife in front of the house ran in and said in a panic: "Lin Zhongtang, go and have a look! Fulin'an's eldest son has led hundreds of guards and has rushed in. The Yun Mansion is here, saying that it wants to settle the score with Master Zhongtang!"

Ye Wanqing's expression suddenly changed, she stood up and cursed: "How unbecoming is it to panic! Quickly summon all the guards in the house and be sure to stop those people!"

The guards immediately took the order and left.

Ye Wanqing looked back at Lin Yun and saw that he was still sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, as if what happened had nothing to do with him.

"Oh, sir, why aren't you anxious? Fulin'an's second son was killed. He must be planning to come over and fight. Otherwise, you should leave through the back door. Let's not confront them head-on!"

Lin Yun smiled contemptuously and said in a deep voice: "Pour some tea!"

Ye Wanqing said anxiously: "Ms. sir, what time has it been? Are you still in the mood to drink tea? There are no useful people in our house, and we can't resist the guards sent by Fulin'an. After tonight, you will look like If the emperor reports this matter, he will definitely be saved forever!"

Lin Yun spoke again: "I'll let you pour tea!"
