Chapter 882: Evil Intentions, Ye Ruhui Regent
"See for yourselves!"

After Fu Lin'an opened the letter, Ye Ruhui immediately came forward.

When they saw that the list included all the people involved in the disappearance of the late Queen Tong Xiangrou, they were stunned.

The two old men just felt their scalps tingling and were speechless.

Lin Yun said playfully, "Why are you silent? Weren't you two just acting like you were serving the country and the people?"

Ye Ruhui said bitterly: "Prince Regent, they do deserve to die, but this is probably Tong Mingchang's evil plan! He may have expected that you would find out the truth and severely punish these fifteen families!"

Fu Linan said, "That's right! Your Majesty, if all fifteen families were to do it at once, the economy of the entire Great Duan Dynasty would collapse in three months at most!"

Lin Yun frowned secretly, he didn't think so much about it.

If it is as Ye Ruhui said, then Tong Mingchang is really amazing.

At this time, Lin Yun looked at Du Sheng who was silent, and asked: "Why doesn't Mr. Du speak?"

Du Sheng clasped his fists and said, "I don't know how to persuade the prince!"

"Oh? You also hope that the king will show some leniency?"

"Hey, from the prince's perspective, these families really deserve to die! We should take it slow, so that the losses can be minimized! Moreover, the prince can even tolerate Qi Changyun's betrayal, why is he so harsh on these family forces?"

Lin Yun touched his nose and said, "I am planning to use a warning to scare the tiger!"

"Your Highness is right in thinking this way! But if you really do this, you will fall into Tong Mingchang's vicious plan! It seems that this old man intends to destroy the Tong family and the Great Duan Dynasty together! How sinister!"

Lin Yun sighed and said, "Okay, since you all think that my actions are too extreme, then I will give them hope. Pass the order down. Any family that reports and provides information about the Tong family will be forgiven!"

The four of them bowed and agreed in unison.

Lin Yun looked at Fu Lin'an again and asked, "How is the progress at the Ministry of Industry?"

Fu Linan said: "Ten Thunder Artillery pieces have been completed and will be taken to the outskirts of the city for testing later. Once the testing is completed, they can be sent to the front line at any time!"

Lin Yun stood up suddenly and said with a smile, "Okay! Fu Zhongtang, the next test work will be handed over to you and Yang Tiexin! All tests must be completed before noon tomorrow at the latest! The king plans to leave for Jiangxia County for inspection tomorrow!"

"I humbly obey my orders!"

After that, Fu Lin'an turned around and left.

He was not in a good mood at the moment. Although Qi Changyun made the mistake first this time, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Grand Marshal Yang Lin was behind this incident.

With such a high-ranking official in the capital who was always keeping an eye on them, Fu Lin'an felt the pressure doubled.

At this time, Ye Ruhui clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, are you going to Jiangxia County this time to personally supervise the battle? Or do you have other plans?"

"What's the matter? Is there something wrong with Ye Zhongtang?"

"I feel that Your Highness should not go to the frontline in your current position. You are the backbone of the Great Duan Dynasty. If something happens to you over there, the whole world will be in chaos!"

Lin Yun smiled and said, "It doesn't matter! There are many people who want to kill me, but it depends on whether they have the ability to do so! In addition, during the time when I am not in the capital, I will trouble Ye Zhongtang to supervise the country on my behalf!"

Ye Ruhui's eyes lit up and he quickly knelt on one knee on the ground.

"Since Your Majesty trusts me so much, I will definitely not let you down!"

Lin Yun opened the drawer under the desk and took out a finely crafted wooden box and handed it to Ye Ruhui. Ye Ruhui took it with both hands and asked curiously, "This is..."

Lin Yun said playfully: "Ye Zhongtang will know once he opens it!"

Not to mention him, even Du Sheng and Zheng Youli were very curious.

Ye Ruhui opened the wooden box and his eyes immediately lit up.

There was a brand new revolver inside, and eighteen bullets neatly stacked beside it.

Lin Yun said: "When I am not at home, this gun represents me. If anyone rebels, Ye Zhongtang can use this gun to shoot him to death!"

Ye Ruhui was excited. He carefully closed the wooden box, put it in his arms, and knocked his head to the ground.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, I now know what to do!"

"Well, it's nothing, you can go down now!"

Afterwards, Ye Ruhui got up and left.

Lin Yun then looked at Du Sheng and Zheng Youli standing beside him, and said meaningfully: "Youli, do you know why I gave the gun to Ye Zhongtang?"

Zheng Youli thought secretly. Du Sheng beside him clasped his fists and was about to speak when Lin Yun suddenly interrupted him, "Master Du, there is no need to say more! I want to hear Zheng Youli's answer!"

Du Sheng smiled bitterly and glanced at Zheng Youli subconsciously. He understood that Lin Yun wanted to see if Zheng Youli had made any progress during this period of time.

After all, Lin Yun asked Zheng Youli to follow Du Sheng so that he could learn more and be able to stand on his own in the National Academy in the future.

Lin Yun was not in a hurry. He lowered his head, poured a cup of tea, and tasted it slowly.

About half a cup of tea later, Zheng Youli suddenly said, "If I'm not mistaken, the Fourteenth Master is planning to execute Li Dao Zong while he's away from the capital?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Yun's eyes lit up, while Du Sheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and when he looked at Zheng Youli again, there was a hint of relief in his eyes.

Lin Yun praised: "Not bad! He has the flavor of a top strategist! Mr. Du, thank you for your hard work during this period!"

Du Sheng immediately clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, please don't say that. In fact, I didn't teach Master Zheng too much. He is just smart enough!"

"Alright! Please stop flattering him! This kid has been with me for so many years, don't I know what he is like?"

Du Sheng nodded repeatedly and did not dare to refute.

Lin Yun pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "After solving the rebellion of the King of Han, I plan to officially ascend the throne and become the emperor! If Mr. Du is still willing to assist me at that time, you can choose to stay! If you are determined to leave, then I can let you go!"

As he spoke, he pretended to drink tea, but glanced at Du Sheng with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Du Sheng, however, reacted very quickly, and immediately knelt on the ground, crying, "Your Highness, I will tell you the truth today! After the emperor's entourage was purged, I really wanted to stay away and protect myself! But after meeting you for a while, I found that you are a great leader. So, please don't drive me away. I am willing to stay by your side forever, until I die of old age!"

He has completely understood Lin Yun's changeable and cunning character.

If you show an attitude of wanting to get out as quickly as possible, then a good ending is definitely waiting for you.

If he wanted to survive, he had to stay with Lin Yun.

Besides, what Du Sheng said was not all nonsense. Facts have proved that Lin Yun was indeed a great leader.
