Chapter 714: Sinister Intentions, Strict Rejection

Lin Zixiang immediately stood up, clasped his fists and said: "I accept my order from my humble position!"

After that, he turned and left with a smile on his lips.

He could hear that Lin Yun's words contained a threatening tone, and he was obviously trying to cause trouble for the Fu family.

In fact, the news that the four Yang Lins were hiding in Ma Mansion was deliberately leaked to Fu Tianchen by Lin Zixiang.

He was on duty at the Ministry of Household Affairs last night. This news was also spread by Yu Chifeng and overheard by the little eunuch he bribed.

Lin Zixiang had a personal feud with Yang Lin. When he was in the Lin family, he wanted to bribe Yang Lin, but in the end Yang Lin betrayed him to Lin Yun.

Although that incident was over, Lin Zixiang still held a grudge, so he also hoped to use Fu Tianchen's eagerness to make meritorious deeds to kill Yang Lin.

Secondly, he deliberately leaked the secret to Fu Tianchen in the hope that the Fu family could continue to fight Lin Yun.

Lin Zixiang knew Lin Yun's temper very well. Once he learned that Fu Tianchen was targeting Yang Lin and the four of them, he would definitely hold a grudge.

In the future, if Fu Tianchen falls, or the entire Fu family is destroyed, then he, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, will have the opportunity to right himself and become the Minister of the Ministry of Finance.

Of course, what he did was quite secretive, and he didn't leave anything behind, let alone let Lin Yun know about it.

At this time, Qi Changyun asked: "Does Master Zhongtang want to take revenge on the Fu family?"

Lin Yun said with a smile: "Then we have to see if the Fu family and his son are good men! Don't worry, Mr. Qi, I will definitely help you seek justice!"

Qi Changyun was secretly happy. It seemed that the cold stove he had burned was already a little warm.

He quickly struck while the iron was hot: "To be honest, Lord Zhongtang, this official plans to take the initiative to resign from the Emperor in the near future!"

Lin Yun frowned and said: "Master Qi is now in his prime, why do you want to resign in a hurry?"

"Hey, I'm actually not willing to give in, but what can I do! This explosion in the palace is the fault of the official. The emperor will definitely take the opportunity to attack. Instead of being in panic all day long, it is better to take the initiative to plead guilty. In my heart, the official It can be more practical!”

Only then did Lin Yun realize what he was talking about. He felt that there was something behind the old man's words and he was asking for a favor from him.

He picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "Master Qi, there is no need to be afraid. You have helped me, how can I let you down?"

Qi Changyun clasped his fists and smiled: "I am satisfied if I can hear these words from Master Zhongtang! However, I have made up my mind, and I ask Master Zhongtang to make it happen! If you really want to help, please let me land safely, and then help." I would be very grateful if Quanzi can take over Xiaguan's position!"

On the side, Ma Ji and Wang Chuanzhong were secretly speechless. They didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Qi Changyun Gourd just now.

But I suddenly realized it when I heard it at the end, and secretly sighed that these old guys who were mixed in the officialdom of the capital really knew how to retreat bravely.

Just like Fulin'an back then, he was able to escape from his shell after committing treason, but he made arrangements for his son clearly.

Looking back now, I can feel how powerful Fulinan is.

If this were an ordinary official, his bones would probably be cold by now.

Obviously, Qi Changyun had the same idea as Fulin'an, but he didn't have Fulinan's ability, so he could only place his hope on Lin Yun.

Lin Yun showed an intriguing smile: "I understand Master Qi's thoughts! But... this matter is not as simple as you think! Moreover, do you think the emperor will accept it?"

Qi Changyun knelt on the ground with a pop, clasped his fists and said, "Of course I don't have such a great reputation as a lower official, but if Master Zhongtang is willing to help, this matter can be done!" Lin Yun stood up, helped him up, and said playfully: "Okay! Mr. Qi, don’t be too anxious! Let me consider this matter! In this case, you can go back and do your job first..."

Before Lin Yun finished speaking, Qi Changyun suddenly became excited.

"Lin Zhongtang, I really can't wait!"

"Shut up!" Lin Yun shouted, startling everyone in the room.

Especially Ma Ji and Wang Chuanzhong stood up nervously.

Lin Yun said in a deep voice: "Mr. Qi, I understand your desire to protect yourself! However, if you want me to do things for your family, you haven't done enough! Originally, I didn't want to be too straightforward. Yes, you should be able to understand it with your intelligence!"

"But since you insist on doing so, I'll tell you the truth! It's easy to get in through the Yun Mansion's gate, but if you want to go out, I have to give my nod! Remember, no one can force me to do something I don't want to do!"

At this time, Ma Ji admonished: "Master Qi, Master Zhongtang values ​​your ability, and he is even more worried about handing over such an important position as the nine-door admiral to your son! Don't you understand?"

Lin Yun cast an approving look at Ma Ji, feeling a little surprised that Ma Ji could actually see this step.

Sure enough, Qi Changyun suddenly realized what he said.

"Lin Zhongtang doesn't trust Quan Zi's ability?"

Lin Yun borrowed the donkey down the slope and nodded: "Yes! I just said that a big event is about to happen in the capital! Your nine admirals are so important that they cannot be changed now! In addition, I will give you a solid background. With me in charge in the capital, no one will do anything against you! Even if the emperor wants to touch you, I won't agree! So, in the past few years, do your job steadily and don't wait for an opportunity! Mature, I will give you a satisfactory explanation!"

Speaking of this, Qi Changyun was completely convinced and kowtowed to the ground.

"Thank you, Master Zhongtang, for thinking so highly of me, I will definitely do my best!"

"Okay, if you have nothing to do, go back! In the future, you are not allowed to come to Yun Mansion privately without my order, so as not to make others gossip!"

"Subordinate to obey!"

After that, Qi Changyun stood up and left.

He felt helpless, but also vaguely happy. Although he had failed to abdicate first to protect himself, it was very useful for him to receive such a high evaluation from Lin Yun.

Moreover, looking at this posture, Lin Yun seems to be making big moves next. As long as the Qi family can be safe, he does not object to continuing to serve Lin Yun.

Without the outsiders, Lin Yun looked at Ma Ji and said, "Where are Yang Lin and the four of them?"

Ma Ji bowed and told what happened last night word for word.

Especially when Princess Fuyao helped and Fu Tianchen made things difficult for him, he even described it with added embarrassment.

It can be said that if Princess Fuyao and Qi Changyun hadn't turned the tide last night, he, Ma Ji, would have been tortured by Fu Tianchen to a state of disgrace. Even if he didn't die, he would only have half a life left.

If Ma Ji wants revenge, he can only count on Lin Yun.

Lin Yun's face softened slightly and he said with a smile: "This girl Qingyue is really capable of taking care of things at critical moments!"

"That's right! For a humble person, Her Royal Highness is the savior! I am willing to use my life to repay this kindness!"
