wealthy lord

Chapter 577: Life hangs by a thread, it’s all nonsense
He knew why Lin Yun was anxious. Zheng Lili had been beaten to pieces in the prison before and was extremely weak. He had just received two more bullets, so he must be in critical condition.

When Meng Yuan saw this, he could only clasp his fists and leave.

Without the outsiders, Lin Yun stopped pretending, immediately squatted down and held Zheng Li in his arms, shouting: "Li Li! Wake up! I order you to open your eyes!!"

But Zheng Lili didn't react at all.

Lin Yun pulled his neck and shouted: "The imperial doctor! Call the imperial doctor quickly!!"

After all, Yun Mansion was the former emperor's palace, and there were always imperial doctors stationed here.

Soon, two imperial doctors and Ye Wanqing ran in. When they saw Zheng Lili covered in blood, they were secretly speechless.

Lin Yun had a lot of blood on his body. He stood up and shouted: "I order you to rescue him at any cost! If he dies, you will be buried with him!!"

The two imperial doctors quickly agreed and started rescuing Zheng Li on the ground.

At this time, Ye Wanqing frowned and said, "Mr. Zheng Li was shot just now? Was it Fu Tianchen who fired the gun?"

Lin Yun said in a deep voice: "I was the one who hit him!"

Ye Wanqing was surprised and said: "Ms. sir, you...are you crazy? Why do you do this?"

Lin Yun also had difficulties. If he hadn't made a gesture just now, Fu Tianchen wouldn't have given up. If he showed any signs of cowardice, the Eight Sages and Meng Yuan would definitely see it and keep it in their hearts.

I must not show any timidity in front of these powerful ministers now.

Otherwise, these old guys who eat people without spitting out their bones may cause trouble in the future.

"Okay! Wanqing, please stop saying a few words because your husband has no choice but to do so!"

Ye Wanqing sighed and nodded. No one knew Lin Yun's difficulties better than her.

If Fulinan was easy to kill, the emperor would have taken action long ago.

Even Fulin'an's son is not so easy to kill.

Without paying some price, it is not enough to stop the crowd.

This is the danger of political struggle in the Daduan Dynasty.

One wrong step and you may be in danger.

This is the fate of Fulin'an.

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

The two imperial doctors came out exhausted, clasped their fists and said, "Lin Zhongtang, Zheng Li's life has finally been saved~! It's just that he was unconscious due to excessive blood loss! He needs to rest for a while!"

Lin Yun and Ye Wanqing both breathed a sigh of relief.

There is no one around them now, only Zheng Li is trustworthy, so Lin Yun naturally doesn't want anything to happen to him.

Moreover, experiencing these things also made Lin Yun realize the importance of cultivating disciples. In a place like the capital, one must have his own power, otherwise his foundation is too weak and anyone would dare to come and bite him.

For example, this Fu Tianchen, a small minister of etiquette, dared to lead people into the Yun Mansion and pointed a bamboo gun at Lin Yun's head.

If it had been the Eight Wise Kings or Meng Yuan, this kind of thing would never have happened, because Fu Tianchen might have been discovered in advance before he could take action.

This is the benefit of having someone under your command, they can nip any danger in the bud. "Very good, you two can retreat!"

The joint imperial doctor turned around and left as if he had been granted amnesty.

In their opinion, Lin Yun was a moody person. He had shouted at them just now, but now he became kind-hearted again.

At this time, Ye Wanqing said: "My lord, Zheng Li has made great achievements this time and suffered so much. Should you reward him heavily?"

Lin Yun said with a smile: "Of course! The second lady doesn't need to worry, my husband has already paved the way for him! Once he recovers from his injuries, he will directly join the Ministry of War as a minister!"

Ye Wanqing frowned and said, "Isn't the eldest brother-in-law the minister of the Ministry of War? Does my husband have other plans?"

Lin Yun put his arms around her waist and smiled mysteriously: "That's right! My husband tried so hard to promote the eldest brother-in-law just to help him manage his affairs and make friends with officials from the six ministries, but it turns out that the eldest brother-in-law doesn't have this ability at all! Moreover, , since my husband has become the Minister of the Ministry of War, there is no need for him to do these things! Therefore, my husband wants him to be responsible for the large and small affairs connecting Niubei Village and Nianzishan Copper Mine!"

He made this arrangement after careful consideration.

If he wants to gain a foothold in the capital as soon as possible, he must make full use of his advantages.

That is to continuously import Fengyang County's connections and material resources into the capital. Of course, this kind of thing must be done secretly and cannot be easily discovered, not even by the emperor.

"Ms. sir, you won't want your eldest brother-in-law to be stationed in Fengyang County for a long time, right?"

Lin Yun nodded: "What? The second lady has any objections?"

Ye Wanqing smiled bitterly and said: "What opinions can I have? It's just... we'd better say hello to my brother-in-law's family about this matter first, otherwise my husband will give the order directly, and I'm afraid that my eldest sister will have complaints in her heart!"

If you can be an official in the capital, who would want to go to the local government?
"Okay, second madam, don't worry! I guarantee that my eldest brother-in-law and his family will be very happy to accept the transfer!"

"Hmph, is Mr. Xiang holding any bad ideas in his stomach?"

Lin Yun curled his lips and said, "What do you mean by a bad idea? This means keeping the money from others! Letting the eldest brother-in-law take over the copper mines in Niubei Village and Nianzishan is a bad idea! Those weapons and equipment, or strategic materials passed through his hands. It will leave a layer of oil and water, don’t you understand such a simple truth as the second lady?”

Ye Wanqing looked at him in disbelief and said, "Don't you hate corrupt officials like Fulin'an the most? Why do you think so? If our father knew..."

Lin Yun waved his hand and said, "Hey, Madam, what you said is wrong! People like Fulin'an are called corrupt officials. My husband is to save the country's property for the court! Do you understand?"

Ye Wanqing chuckled and said angrily: "It's all nonsense! My husband, you are getting weaker and weaker now!"

Lin Yun was furious and said with a bad smile: "Okay! This is what you said, let you see whether I am a vain husband or not!"

With that said, he directly picked her up and carried her back to the bedroom, leaving only Ye Wanqing's emotional laughter.

Time flies by, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

The evidence for Fulin'an's treason case has long been conclusive. In view of the fact that he had made a lot of contributions to the court, the emperor considered his merits and demerits to be equal and imprisoned him in a small courtyard in the capital to live out his life. Internal guards monitor.

The party members who once followed Fulin'an have long been divided and disintegrated. Those who deserve to be killed are killed, and those who deserve to be dispatched are dispatched.

Only a very small number of them were protected by the Eight Sage Kings and Meng Yuan and escaped.

The biggest winner was naturally the emperor, who replaced the vacant official positions with a large number of people loyal to him and strengthened the imperial rule.

Let this major case that shocked the government and the public come to an end completely.

As for Fu Tianchen, he succeeded his father's position as Minister of Household Affairs as he wished. Although he has not yet joined the cabinet to become prime minister, his abilities have been fully recognized by the emperor.
