  Chapter 492 Secret Order

  Nie Huai'an swung his sleeves, frowned and said, "I'm afraid the prefect may have kneeled down to the wrong person. The old man and Chang Lao have already retired to the countryside, what can they do for the prefect?"

  Based on what this guy meant, if Lin Jinxiao was really accused, the two teachers would have to be implicated.

  Wu Enrong said unrelentingly: "The two elders are highly respected, not to mention in Pingning Prefecture, even in Jingling City, they are also highly respected and respected. Naturally, they can make decisions for my subordinates."

Chang Yanjue shook his head slowly with a cold face: "Prefect Wu really flattered us two old fellows. Since you have been wronged, you should be fair and honest with those sitting in the hall. Those who beat around the bush are not real men. for."

As he said that, he looked straight at Lin Jinxiao, who was as stable as Mount Tai, and continued: "Prince Pingning holds the sword of the emperor, and everything will be handled fairly. You were imprisoned because of the matter of the Qi family and the eldest princess. Although there is no hard evidence, there are suspicions. Don't say it." You are the prefect of a county, even if you are the three princes of the court, the prince and the prince, or even the relatives of the emperor, you can also be sent to prison."

  The simple words made Wu Enrong unable to refute.

   "What Chang said makes sense."

Seeing this, Lin Tingkai, the king of Nandu, persuaded him neither humble nor overbearing: "Presumably Jin Xiao was also instigated by Jin Mu's blunt boy, and he was confused for a while. Now that the truth is revealed, the real culprit who killed the old lady of the Qi family It has already been found out, and it is nothing but a false accusation that Taishou Wu colluded with Princess Luo Chu for corruption, why not Jinxiao just pay a gift and apologize to Taishou Wu, and let it be over."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Lin Jinxiao in the hall with a warm smile, and reminded: "After all, Taishou Wu is Yang Situ's son-in-law, and he is also the Minister of the Imperial Household appointed by His Majesty, so this will not only make Yang Situ feel embarrassed. Light, I'm afraid His Majesty is not easy to reason with."

"yes?"

  Lin Jinxiao snorted coldly with disdain: "If Yang Situ's face will be ashamed like this, then if the head of the country finds out that he has a son-in-law who is inhumane and full of evil, he will burst into blood and die immediately."

   "What is the meaning of King Pingning's words? Could it be that he wants to plant some trumped-up charges on the lower officials?"

  Wu Enrong's heart trembled, but he pretended to be calm and questioned the past.

   "Planted?"

  Lin Jinxiao smiled without saying a word. After a long time, he slowly opened his mouth: "The prefect praises me too much. I don't have the ability to frame prefect Wu."

   After speaking, he waved towards the door: "Take Jiang Xueyi and Zheng Haichuan."

   Soon after, the two were brought in one by one with two confessions.

  Lin Jinxiao accepted the confession presented by Guan Erbai, browsed through it, and said:

"Jiang Xueyi and Zheng Haichuan have never dealt with each other, and they have been held incommunicado since they were released from prison. However, the source of every bribe that Mr. Wu asked for from the Qi family in the eight years since he took office as the prefect of Pingning County mentioned in their confessions, The dates are all the same, a total of 1,136,000 taels, this can't be fabricated, can it?"

  Wu Enrong glared at the two of them fiercely, and still defended calmly: "I am wronged, this is definitely a frame-up for the lower official, but the lower official has never received a tael of silver from the Qi family."

   "Yes, Taishou Wu is a smart man, how could he handle such a huge amount of money by himself?"

Lin Jinxiao put down the paperwork slowly, and said with a light smile, "There is no rush on this matter. If the king of Dongjin failed to do it, this king will naturally fulfill his wish for him. The next time the guards enter the county mansion, it is not just about looking for evidence. It's simple, this king doesn't believe in such a huge amount of money, and the prefect Wu didn't even have a hand in it, and after the inspection of your family property, it will naturally prove whether you are greedy."

Taking a deep breath, he glanced meaningfully at Nandu Wang Lin Tingkai: "However, what I am interested in is where so many silver taels ended up. I believe that the prefect Wu would not dare to embezzle such a big one by himself." A lot of money."

However, Lin Tingkai snorted coldly with disdain: "Jinxiao, you have to pay attention to evidence in everything. We haven't finished the matter of you and your brother Jinmu entering the county mansion privately, and you want to search the family of Wu Taishou again, don't you?" Don’t you care too much about the court’s laws?”

   "Third Emperor Uncle knows the court's law, but my nephew also wants to ask the prefect you want to protect, does he know the court's law?"

  Lin Jinxiao looked straight at Wu Enrong with a cold gaze: "As far as what you have done, ransacking the house is not enough, even the nine tribes of barbarians will not be able to forgive their hatred."

  Paused, he turned to sneer again and said: "This king has forgotten, how can there be any nine tribes in Wu Taishou, why should His Majesty and this king do the work of this kind of barbarian tribes, the prefect can do it himself."

   "His Royal Highness King Pingning, I really don't know what you are talking about?"

Wu Enrong flicked his sleeves angrily, and said righteously: "Your Highness is proud of being favored by the sword of the Son of Heaven, and has repeatedly insulted the lower officials. Today, he openly slandered the lower officials in front of the princes and elders. Could it be that Aren't you afraid of attracting verbal criticism?"

   "What a verbal criticism."

  Lin Jinxiao slapped a heavy gavel on the desk, and said sharply, "Bring the traitor Du Sankui."

  When Du Sankui was escorted up by the gangsters, the expressions of Lin Tingkai and Wu Enrong suddenly changed.

Lin Tingkai pretended to be calm, and said in a preemptive manner: "Du Sankui, you are a felon of the imperial court, and you will be escorted to Beijing sooner or later. Your Majesty has not personally tried it, so you should be careful about whether you are rebelling or being forced to rebel. , You have to know what you have in mind, and don't talk nonsense."

   "Whether he was rebellious or forced to rebel, it is an iron fact that he sent people to assassinate the court officials. Is there anyone who can wrong him?"

  Chang Yanjue poked the crutch in his hand fiercely on the ground, and said with awe-inspiring momentum: "Since King Pingning bestows the Son of Heaven Sword, he will be able to act on behalf of His Majesty."

   After finishing speaking, he unhurriedly took out a sealed letter box from his pocket, stood up solemnly, held the letter box high, and said loudly:

"This is the secret decree that His Majesty asked Yin Shaofu to hand over to the old man. Now the situation in the south is unstable. The people of Dongsang have repeatedly violated the border, and the people of Baiyu are ready to move. From the appointment and dismissal of officials in various counties and counties, down to the power of life and death for the people of Li , all matters in the south are arbitrarily decided by King Pingning, and there is no need to ask the court."

   Afterwards, Yin Liuxuan was asked to read the will to everyone, and everyone's faces were suddenly overshadowed.

  Lin Tingkai gritted his teeth in anger, he really didn't know what was so special about this shabby household that he was able to enjoy this privilege, so even if he committed suicide without authorization today, Wu Enrong, Du Sankui and others, the court would not be able to blame him.

  For a while, it was miserable.

   "With the Tianzi Sword and this secret decree, I would like to ask His Royal Highnesses Nandu Wang and Beibin Wang, is it possible for your nephew to interrogate the traitor Du Sankui?"

  Chang Yanjue asked loudly.

Lin Tingyan secretly made eye contact with the third child, and replied with a smile: "What did Chang Lao say? Jinxiao defended against foreign invaders on behalf of His Majesty and the imperial court, and also had to manage the mess in Pingning Prefecture. It was very hard work. What happened today? It's just a misunderstanding, as long as everyone speaks out, and if they really want to present evidence to convince each other, whether it's to the court or the people, it can be regarded as an explanation."

Immediately afterwards, he turned to Du Sankui with a calm face, and said solemnly: "You traitor, it is an ironclad fact that you lead the Yulong Gang to fight against the government. Injustice, don't hurry up and bring it on, who gave you the courage?"

  The words were meant to be admonishing, but they completely angered Du Sankui.
