Chapter 881: The Truth Comes Out, the Corrupt Qi Changyun
"Come and sit here too! I have been reading memorials all day and my eyes are tired! So I will just listen to your dictation!"

"I humbly obey my orders!"

Afterwards, Yang Lin sat on the armchair next to him, took the initiative to pour tea for Lin Yun, and whispered: "There are a total of fifteen families implicated this time! They are all vassals of the Tong family. They helped and paid a lot of money, but the Tong family does not know the specific details, so I will stop them from being thrown into the Jinyiwei prison and wait for the prince to decide their fate!"

Lin Yun nodded and said solemnly, "Are there any court officials involved?"

"Yes! Moreover, he is a powerful official!"

Yang Lin has been hesitant because of this matter.

Lin Yun sighed and said, "Go ahead! Since they dare to do it, there is nothing to embarrass me!"

"Yes! It's Qi Changyun!"

Lin Yun smiled contemptuously, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then stood up and walked to the desk, turned his back to Yang Lin, and pointed at the stack of documents in front of him.

"Ah Lin, do you know what these memorials contain?"

Yang Lin shook his head and said, "I don't know!"

Lin Yun raised his hand and swept the stack of documents to the ground.

"All these memorials are to impeach you! They are officials under the command of those old men in the Grand Council. They are afraid of you and resent you! They hope that I will punish you so that they can be guaranteed their safety! This is really ridiculous. I should really call them all over to see how ironic it is!"

Yang Lin clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, calm down. I have known for a long time that they resent me, but they are all shady means. I don't care!"

Lin Yun turned around and looked at him, smiling with satisfaction: "Good! I am relieved that you can adjust your mentality! Go on, what did Qi Changyun participate in?"

"Tong Mingchang once instructed those vassal family forces to send 350 million taels of silver to the Qi Mansion under various names! The only purpose was to let Tong Xiangrou go smoothly when she came out of the Meng Mansion, and send someone to protect her to leave Beijing safely!"

Lin Yun frowned and nodded, "In other words, Qi Changyun and Meng Yuan have been colluding with each other for a long time?"

"No! As far as I know, these two old men don't know each other! This is also the cleverness of Tong Mingchang! If they each knew the existence of the other, the news would leak out sooner or later, but if they kept it a secret, they would only keep it for their own safety!"

Lin Yun nodded and smiled sinisterly: "It's quite clever! An old man imprisoned in a big prison actually has such a powerful means to play a prime minister and a governor of the Nine Gates in the court! Even the king admires him!"

Yang Lin stood up, lowered his head slightly, and said with a sinister look: "Fourteenth Master, do you want me to send someone to kill Qi Changyun in his bed at home? We can pretend it's an accidental death..."

Lin Yun waved his hand and said, "No! Doing so is like trying to cover up one's own faults! The entire court is watching your Taiwei Mansion now. At such a sensitive moment, if you touch Qi Changyun, you will become the target of public criticism and will also disrupt the morale of the army! In addition, I will use Jiangxia King Qi Rui to fight against Han King Guan Haiyue! Killing Qi Changyun now will cost too much!"

In Lin Yun's opinion, as long as Qi Changyun was still in the capital, he would always be a piece of meat on the chopping board, and it would only take a thought to kill him.

Yang Lin said worriedly: "But... Qi Changyun has recently started to secretly transfer his assets to Jiangxia County!"

Lin Yun said playfully: "It doesn't matter, let him move! Don't worry about it!"

Yang Lin was confused, not understanding why he had to watch the thief continue stealing things even though he knew his house was robbed.

Lin Yun sat back on the armchair and said with a smile, "Don't understand?"

"I am a stupid official, please explain clearly, Your Majesty!" "Haha! You! It seems that you are still too naive! This land belongs to the king. To be frank, the entire Great Duan Dynasty is my home. Do you think it makes sense for Qi Changyun to be so clever? Unless he can transfer the wealth abroad! But if he can succeed under my nose, what is the point of me fighting for the world?"

Yang Lin finally came to his senses and said with a wry smile: "I am short-sighted!"

Since the entire Daduan Divine Dynasty belongs to Lin Yun, Qi Changyun's secret transfer of property is equivalent to transferring silver from the outer room to the inner room, which is essentially no different.

Lin Yun took a sip of tea and said, "Continue! Who else is involved?"

"Then there are Li Daozhen and Li Daozong! If the prince hadn't seen through their evil tricks, they would have followed the secret passage of the imperial study to the Meng Mansion, and then used that passage to escape from the capital!"

Lin Yun nodded, put the teacup on the table, and said in a deep voice: "You must take action immediately, confiscate the property of those fifteen families, and then put them in the Ministry of Justice Prison, and imprison them in the cages around Tong Mingchang!"

"I obey your command!" Yang Lin knelt on one knee and asked, "Then Qi Changyun will not care?"

"Well, don't bother with him for now!"

"But if these fifteen families were to be confiscated, Qi Changyun would definitely find out about it..."

"This is exactly the effect I want! Go down and do the work! I'll give you two hours. Is that enough?"

"That's enough! I'll do it right away!"

Afterwards, he turned and left.

Lin Yun muttered to himself, "Qi Changyun, ah Qi Changyun, what can I say about you?"

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that Qi Changyun did not really betray him, he just wanted to make money.

If his Qi family really had ulterior motives, how could Qi Rui, the King of Jiangxia, put all his strength into fighting Guan Haiyue?
Therefore, Lin Yun just ordered Yang Lin to raid the homes of those fifteen families to give Qi Changyun another chance.

If he came over immediately and confessed everything, Lin Yun would still give him a chance, but if he remained stubborn, Lin Yun would not show mercy.

He will keep a close eye on King Jiangxia Qi Rui until the Han King's Rebellion is over, which is when the Qi family will be destroyed.

But just over an hour later, Fulin'an Ye Ruhui and Dusheng Zheng Youli arrived as soon as possible.

They have already learned about the confiscation of property of those fifteen families, and this incident has caused a sensation in the entire capital.

Fu Linan clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly attacking these families? They are the pillars of the capital's economy! If they are all wiped out, it will soon cause a huge impact on the economy of all parts of the country!"

These families' businesses are spread all over the country, and they even have business dealings with neighboring foreign countries.

Ye Ruhui also echoed: "That's right, Regent, no matter how big the incident is, we can't just cut it off!"

Du Sheng and Zheng Youli both knew that Lin Yun would never do anything without a purpose, so they wisely did not express their attitudes and just watched silently.

Lin Yun smiled jokingly, raised his hand and threw the memorial that Yang Lin had just handed over at the feet of the two old men.
