Chapter 105 The Big Case of Ink Corruption

One was standing, the other was sitting, and amidst the confrontation, it happened that the one sitting was more imposing.

Chu Lingjun asked again, "Who the hell are you?"

At this moment, he was only glad that the person in front of him only found out that he was related to the prefect's family, and didn't know the deepest secret he kept in his heart, otherwise he would have taken the risk today and killed him to silence him.

"Hedong Ji, the current Patriarch."

Ji Fushou smiled and introduced himself, "I know the Ji family is in decline now, you may not have heard of it, but judging from the case I was able to find three years ago, you know that I am quite powerful, and you are alone If you are struggling in the court, it is better for us to join hands, and you can find out the truth as soon as possible."

Chu Lingjun sat down slowly, and said with a sneer, "Why find out the truth? You misunderstood, don't think that my mother once nursed the prefect's young master, and you think I will stand up for the prefect's family."

Ji Fushou raised his eyebrows, "Prefect Lin has always loved the people like a son, governed Taiping, and has always had a good reputation as an official. How could such a person greedy for disaster relief money and make the people who suffered from floods displaced?

Moreover, no official would be stupid enough to lose money for disaster relief under his own rule. Back then, Zhifu Lin and his family were killed all over to appease public grievances. If he hadn't died so quickly, perhaps the grievances would have been washed away. "

Ji Fushou would believe that the prefect Lin was not greedy for money for disaster relief because he had read his resume. During his years as an outsider, his official reputation has always been very good, and the assessment of the Ministry of Officials is top-notch every year. If there is no such thing, maybe Now there will be one more prefect Lin among the six hall officials.

Moreover, there is no shortage of money in the prefect Lin's family. His wife is well-run and buys shops and farms wherever she goes. Why did prefect Lin ruin his bright future for disaster relief money?

As she said, who is a fool who can sit in the magistrate's position, and would stretch out his hand for disaster relief money?

He is the highest official of a government, and there are countless ways to get money, so there is no need to do such a desperate thing.

You must know that once the disaster relief money is not implemented, the victims will definitely complain. When the time comes, the imperial court will send people down to investigate thoroughly, and the prefect Lin's official title will be lost.

But it happened that the prefect Lin cooperated with the general judge and pushed the officials to embezzle 20 taels of disaster relief money.

If Ji Fushou is not sure that Zhifu Lin was wronged, but seeing that Zhifu Lin was hurriedly escorted to Beijing, his head fell to the ground in less than three days, and he was not even given a chance to appeal. It seemed that someone was afraid Prefect Lin would prove his innocence, so he hastily convicted him, beheaded him, and closed the case in a hurry.

Three years ago, Ruyin Mansion was hit by heavy rain, which lasted for six or seven days. Finally, the river swelled and the embankments were breached. Once all the crops were lost, the impact of the flood also mercilessly swept away the lives of many people.

Under natural disasters, manpower is extremely insignificant, and those who survived the flood are also faced with the plight of starvation, illness, and homelessness.

Prefect Lin wrote to the imperial court to request disaster relief. The imperial treasury was always empty, and it was extremely difficult to squeeze out 20 taels of relief money for the purchase of medicinal herbs, grain, etc., with the intention of helping the victims survive the most difficult period at the beginning of the flood.

However, the victims received the news of the government's disaster relief, but they did not see food for a long time. More and more people died of starvation and disease. The victims finally attacked the county government in anger. Shock.

The imperial court started a thorough investigation, and sent imperial envoys to Ruyin Mansion. After only one day of investigation, the magistrate, Tong San, and Tui Guan were imprisoned, saying that these three people had joined forces to steal money for disaster relief.

The evidence is that the disaster relief money transported by soldiers sent by the imperial court entered the warehouse, but when the imperial envoy arrived and opened the warehouse for inspection, it was found that the disaster relief money was missing.

There is no other reason than self-stealing.

Immediately, the imperial envoy sent sergeants to escort Lin Zhifu, Su Tongpan, and Zhang Tuiguan to Beijing. In order to quell public grievances, the three families ransacked and beheaded. All males over ten years old were killed, and boys under ten years old were sent to the palace as slaves by Sun Tzugen. The female relatives did not enter the priest's workshop.

The sensational case came to an end, and the imperial court took out another sum of money and sent the Minister of War and the Minister of Industry to Ruyin Mansion for disaster relief, which gradually calmed the boiling public opinion.

Hearing Ji Fushou speak for Lin Zhifu, Chu Lingjun fell silent for a moment.

Coincidentally, at this time, Xiao Er served the food, and Ji Fushou didn't say anything else. When Xiao Er retreated, Ji Fushou picked up his chopsticks, "Take a look, Jinyulou is the best restaurant in the capital."

Chu Lingjun picked up a dish with chopsticks and brought it to the entrance. He heard Ji Fushou say, "I didn't expect you to be with Young Master Lin. You were familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics. You got 22nd in the imperial examination. Since You are so talented in reading, why didn't your mother go with you, and instead went to die with the Lin family?"

"cough cough"

Chu Lingjun was choked and beat his chest, coughing up two bubbles of tears from his eyes.

A dim light flashed across Ji Fushou's eyes, and he brought him a cup of tea, "Drink slowly."

After drinking a cup of tea, she finally calmed down. Chu Lingjun explained with a weak breath, "Because both my mother and son's lives were saved by Mrs. Lin, and I have been in poor health since I was a child. Thanks to the medicinal materials provided by the Lin family, In order to grow up safely.

My mother was as close to my grandma as a son, and couldn't bear to leave. In the end, Mrs. Lin hurriedly stuffed me with two banknotes before the soldiers ransacked the house, and asked me to leave. My mother said that both our mother and son's lives belonged to Mrs. Lin Yes, she will accompany Mrs. Lin, and continue to serve her underground in the future. "

Ji Fushou nodded slightly, "He is a loyal servant."

Chu Lingjun's eyes were slightly red, and he lowered his head, making it difficult for people to see his expression clearly.

After a while, Chu Lingjun raised his head and said: "Actually, you are right. I have been in the Lin family for so long, and I am very familiar with the character of the prefect Lin. He will never do such a thing as greedy for money for disaster relief. He He was wronged!"

This was a decision made by Chu Lingjun after careful consideration. Ji Fushou even found out his identity. He also investigated the case three years ago. He still believed that the prefect Lin was not corrupt. When Ji Fushou saw that he was unwilling to cooperate, he publicized his identity to alert the group of people back then, so he would not be able to find out the truth for Zhifu Lin and the others.

Since Ji Fushou is capable, why not use her power?
As for whether to seek skin from a tiger.
so what?

Now that he is already in hell, he just wants to avenge the prefect Lin and avenge the three families. Even if he becomes a villain, he will go down to the eighteenth floor of hell in the future.

"It's just the cooperation you mentioned just now. I don't know what kind of cooperation it is? What do you want me to do, and what can you do for me?"

Chu Lingjun looked at Ji Fushou stubbornly with firm eyes.

　Didn't expect it to be three o'clock today?Prefect Lin was indeed wronged, can anyone guess where the disaster relief money went?
