When they brought Du Xiuyuan and others down the mountain, although it was late, there were still countless spectators gathered. The soldiers held up the torches, illuminating the night like day. Before tonight, the news of Lord Lin's bombardment of "Yade Fairy" will spread all over Dahua, and no one knows what kind of reaction will happen at that time. Du Xiuyuan and others are secretly sweating for General Lin, Only he acted like a normal person, laughing and laughing with everyone.
"General," Du Xiuyuan, who was patrolling the road ahead, hurried over with an extremely solemn expression: "There is someone blocking the way of the army. It is—" He paused, and said in a low voice: "It is Lord Ye, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Lord Liang of the Ministry of Rites. , as well as the deacons and bachelors of the three pavilions and six departments, as well as Prince Cheng—”
Lin Wanrong was surprised. These people came quite quickly. I just came down the mountain. He chuckled and said: "It's okay, maybe these adults sent plaques to praise me. Brother Du, let's Let's go and have a look."
Du Xiuyuan saw that he was not surprised at all, he didn't seem to take these powerful adults seriously, and secretly admired him in his heart, he dared to speak and act, dare to act, he was really a strange man.
Lin Wanrong was about to step forward, but Miss Xiao poked her head out of the sedan chair and asked, "Lin Lang, what's going on ahead?"
Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "Someone came to visit me. Qingxuan, you and junior sister rest here for a while, I will come whenever I go."
Xiao Qingxuan smiled lightly, took out a golden waist card from his arms, stared at it carefully, a thin layer of mist rose in his eyes, full of remembrance and nostalgia, and beckoned to him again, softly Said: "Lin Lang, come here, I have something to explain to you."
When Lin Wanrong came up to him, Xiao Qingxuan handed the waist card to him, and said softly, "This is for you. If anyone dares to make things difficult for you, you can take this out, and no one dares to touch a single hair of your lord." .”
The gold medal was heavy, with a lifelike phoenix engraved on it, and I don't know what it was for. Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "Your brand is somewhat similar to the gold medal bestowed by the emperor in my hand. We are a combination of dragon and phoenix, and we are not afraid to travel all over the world."
Xiao Qingxuan smiled sweetly: "Don't gossip, go and get rid of it quickly, we will go home as soon as possible."
The sergeant in front stopped still, and there was a burst of noise in front of the queue, and the voices of "Lin San come out!" and "Lin San come out to answer" were faintly heard.
Lin Wanrong rushed over with Du Xiuyuan, glanced around, and saw that more than half of the adults and bachelors who had met in the early morning this morning had come, and the one who stood at the front sneered and said nothing was King Cheng. Behind him were two ministers from the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites, as well as dozens of deacons. Everyone was excited and shouting loudly.
"Little brother Lin San, I have met the prince and all the adults." Lin Wanrong laughed, with a look of shock on his face: "It is so late, and all the adults are still going out to observe the people's sentiments? You are doing so much for the country. I really admire you little brother."
Master Ye, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, shouted: "Lin San, stop talking nonsense, I'm here to ask you about your crime."
"Crime? What kind of crime?" Lin Wanrong asked in confusion, "My younger brother has always obeyed the law and paid taxes according to the regulations. Where did the crime come from?"
Master Ye said angrily: "Do you still have to argue about what you did? What did you do on this mountain? Are all the people foolish?"
Lin Wanrong chuckled: "Little brother has been traveling so far, out of interest, and fired two cannons at will. Master Ye, it seems that this matter is out of your control."
Mr. Ye's beard was trembling, and he pointed at him angrily: "Two shots at random? You said it lightly! Do you know where this is? This 'Yade Fairy' is a holy place that scholars all over the world yearn for. Senior Confucians Born in many generations, I have made great contributions to my Dahua. The founding emperor of the Taizu gave a plaque, and all colleagues in the court are proud of being born in the holy square. You dare to act wild here. It is really lawless and rampant. To. The prince and I, as well as my colleagues, are here to punish your crimes. You should be arrested quickly and obey the order."
Lin Wanrong smiled indifferently: "Yade Fairy? It's a good name, but it's a pity that I haven't heard of it. I got a tip that someone is raising weapons on this mountain, illegally gathering, privately enacting laws, imprisoning others' freedom, coercing Emperor Taizu issued an edict to confuse ignorant young people. What's more, he called himself Tianqi and tried to be independent from Dahua. Only by resolutely banning it can we protect my grandeur for thousands of years. Master Ye, is it wrong to do so?"
Lin San was eloquent, and with his big hats on, Mr. Ye was dazzled. Other than Lin San, there is no other person in the world who defines "Yade Fairy" as an illegal terrorist organization.
"You, you, you are talking nonsense." Master Ye's tiger beard trembled wildly, pointed at his nose and said, "The name of the Holy Square is admired by the world, and countless senior Confucian scholars came from here, and they are the bones of my great glory. How could it be you?" What terrorist organization are you talking about?"
"Whether it's a terrorist organization, Mr. Ye, it doesn't matter what you say, and I don't count if I say it. I have a few confessions here, all of which were written by the bewildered talented scholars on the mountain," Lin Wanrong stretched out his hand , Du Xiuyuan sent the confession, Master Lin smiled and said: "Is it a terrorist organization, please take a look at Master Ye, and you will know it at a glance."
Lord Ye did not expect that Lin San's methods were so sophisticated, not to mention the destruction of the Holy Square in just a few hours, and even the confession was fully prepared, making people want to catch his braids, but there is nowhere to start.
"Lin San," Cheng Wang, who had been watching the situation quietly, suddenly said, "You led the troops to the mountain, and you stabbed the person with a shining sword. It is not difficult to ask for as many confessions as you want. The evidence that is coerced, There are countless things to do, even in front of the emperor, you can't get rid of the suspicion of extorting a confession."
"Yes, yes, Wang Ye Huiyan, you are extorting a confession, and all confessions cannot be true." Hearing what Wang Cheng said, Master Ye also regained his spirits, and hurriedly shouted, and the scholars who followed the two also joined in. Shouted: "Extorted confession, this is extorted confession—"
Du Xiuyuan was a little nervous, and hurriedly glanced at Lin Wanrong. Lin Wanrong's expression was normal, and he smiled: "Arresting criminals and taking confessions are the common methods used to judge cases. If the prince said that, all the yamen took people to judge cases, it would I can't get rid of the suspicion of extorting a confession, so if such a judgment comes from the mouth of the prince, won't it chill the hearts of the people of the world?"
King Cheng smiled, his eyes flickered, and he nodded, "It's a sharp mouth. Let's not say whether this testimony is true or not, 'Yade Fairy' is a holy place where Emperor Taizu wrote an inscription and enjoys the reputation of 'Aligning with the sky'. You Being so presumptuous in the Holy Land, where would the Emperor Taizu be placed?"
"Align with the sky?" Lin Wanrong grinned and waved his hands, and the two soldiers carried out the inscription of the emperor: "My lord, what you said is this?"
King Cheng glanced at him carefully, and hurriedly bowed to the ground, and said with sincerity and fear: "The unworthy descendant Zhao Mingcheng, kowtow to see the original work of the ancestor." Everyone in Ye Shangshu also hurriedly knelt down and shouted: "Kowtow to see the original work of the ancestor." Lin Wanrong stood in the original After receiving a gift from everyone, he hypocritically went to help King Cheng: "My lord, please get up!"
King Cheng and the others bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, and then stood up respectfully. Looking at Lin Wanrong, he said: "Lin San, you are so courageous. You know that there is an inscription of 'together with the sky' by the ancestors, but you dare to shoot without authorization. Do you want to rebel?"
"My lord, you can eat food indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately." Lin Wanrong said solemnly: "The inscription of the emperor's ancestor is a clear proof of the imperial edict of Yude Xianfang. My younger brother is about to present it to the emperor himself for review." .”
"You are so courageous. As a descendant of the holy ancestor, this king has admired the handwriting of the holy ancestor for a long time. The three characters of 'equal with the sky' were inscribed by the emperor himself. How can there be such an edict?" Cheng Cheng The king said angrily: "You dare to be so presumptuous before the inscription of the holy ancestor. Are you really the king who can rule you? You have hooked up with the Holy Mother of the White Lotus Sect. This king has already had evidence, and tomorrow he will report it to the emperor. punish your crime."
Damn, King Cheng is about to turn his back on him completely. He even brought out the matter of Sister An, and he thinks he has a handle. Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "My lord, what is the Holy Mother of the White Lotus, what is the hookup? Although you are a relative of the emperor, I can still sue you for defamation. My younger brother is upright and selfless, cleansing himself, and regards beauty as nothing. It is well known and admired by all. If I really did something wrong, please rest assured and boldly go to the emperor to sue him."
King Cheng sneered and said, "I won't talk to you. The inscription of the holy ancestor is in front of you, and the name of the holy square is worthy of its name. What else can you say?"
Lin Wanrong smiled disdainfully and said: "What is worthy of the name? The Emperor of the Holy Ancestor is benevolent and wise. A hundred years ago, he could predict the events of the future generations. As a descendant of the Holy Ancestor, how come you don't even know the calligraphy of the Holy Ancestor? Come on, general. The ancestor emperor sent the calligraphy to the prince and all the adults to have a look to see what these three characters are."
"Yes!" Two soldiers strode forward with the inscription held high. King Cheng was the closest, and after carefully looking at the scroll, his expression changed drastically. Ye Shangshu stared at it for a while, then murmured: "With husband? This, this, how could this happen?"
"Lord Ye has good eyesight." Lin Wanrong said with a smile: "The emperor of the ancestors had great plans and great plans, and he had this insight a hundred years ago. His old man's inscription, the three words 'with the husband', was originally intended to tell the people in Yude Xianfang , to learn from the people, to go among the people, to be close to the people and to love the people. However, this workshop has evil intentions, using the slight difference between the two words, claiming to be in harmony with the sky, confusing black and white, and confusing the people. , in a vain attempt to turn this mountain into a country within a country."
King Cheng's face changed, and he shouted angrily: "The inscription of the emperor's ancestor has been handed down for thousands of years, and everyone knows it. How could there be a mistake? Lin San, you must have made a fool of yourself."
Lin Wanrong laughed loudly, his voice piercing the sky: "My lord is well said. The inscriptions of the emperor's ancestors have been handed down for thousands of years, and everyone knows it. But I want to ask, who has heard the emperor's recitation of the words "with the heavens?" The word "Qi"? Or is it recorded in the annals that the Emperor Shengzu personally rewarded it? You are all scholars who have read poetry and books, has anyone heard or seen it?"
Everyone was speechless. Although the three words "aligned with the sky" are rumored to have noses and eyes, it can be placed on any generation of emperors, and it is impossible to say the three words "aligned with the sky" by themselves. Authority, which emperor would be so foolish as to put others on a par with himself.
Seeing these menacing adults dare not speak. Filled with satisfaction, Lin Wanrong said to the two soldiers, "Quickly put away the original manuscript of the emperor, and send it to the emperor for his review tomorrow."
All the ministers looked forward to King Weicheng, seeing that he was silent, they all lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. King Cheng winked at Mr. Ye, and pouted at the sedan chair behind Lin Wanrong. Mr. Ye was shocked immediately, and said loudly: "Wang Lin San, you sounded good. Don't you know the truth when you are an official? After receiving the pleadings, it was said that Lin San, the deputy servant of the Ministry of Officials, had taken a fancy to a female disciple in Shengfang, and wanted to occupy her by force, but the girl desperately refused, and you were so angry that you brought your soldiers to the mountain to snatch her. The pleadings are here, do you still dare to quibble?"
He took out a pleading paper full of words from his long sleeves, and showed it triumphantly. The officials were filled with righteous indignation, and they scolded Lin San as a scum in the officialdom and an insult to gentleness.
Grandma, is this okay? It seems that my skin is not thick enough! Lin Wanrong grinned and said, "Master Ye, you really have sharp eyes, and you even detected this matter, I admire you."
Seeing that Lin San showed signs of softening, Lord Ye was overjoyed immediately, and said with color on his face: "This official is upright and friendly to the people. Even if you have all kinds of power, Lin San, this official will definitely handle it impartially and give you justice. Tolerance where-"
The few tolerances following him hastily clasped their fists together and said, "My lord, please give me instructions."
Mr. Ye pointed to the small sedan chair where Miss Xiao was sitting, and said with a straight face: "The civilian girl who was snatched by Lin Sanqiang is in that sedan chair. You will quickly take her over and protect her properly, so there will be no mistakes."
Look at me, I look at you, Lin San is surrounded by soldiers, if he robs people with these tiger and wolf divisions, isn't he courting death? Lin Wanrong smiled mysteriously, and whispered to Master Ye: "My lord, please take a few steps to talk, my little brother will show you something."
"Stop bribing me." Lord Ye refused sternly, and was about to put more gold on his face, but Lin San smiled half-smile, holding a gleaming gold badge in his hand and said: "Master Ye, look good Come on, the lady in the sedan chair wants me to show you this badge."
"What waist card?" Master Ye glanced at it disdainfully, and suddenly his mouth opened wide, as if he had seen a ghost, and he couldn't say a word.
"Master Ye, Lord Ye—" Cheng Wang was stopped by him, seeing that he was not moving, he got a little impatient to wait, and kicked Lord Ye on the leg: "What's wrong with you?"
Lord Ye turned around, with a dull expression on his face, and murmured: "My lord, it's the emperor, the emperor, the emperor—"
"Emperor, what?" King Cheng pushed him away, and the waist card immediately fell into his eyes. His face changed suddenly, his lips murmured for a long time, and finally he kowtowed: "My brother Zhao Mingcheng, kowtow to your mother. Your mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!" !"
All the ministers were also taken aback when they heard that, what a ghost today, they are here to take Lin San, why did the empress also show up? Seeing that King Cheng prostrated himself on the ground, no one dared to be negligent, they hurriedly knelt down on the ground, and called their mother a thousand years old.
Empress? There was a bang in Lin Wanrong's head, Qingxuan? This, how is this possible? Damn, do I want to rob the emperor for a woman
The shock of this "Mother" to Lin Wanrong was far greater than the astonishment of all the ministers. Lin Wanrong was stunned there, his heart was empty, and he didn't know what to say.
Cheng Wang and others knelt down on the ground, and after waiting for a long time, no one made a sound, so they hurriedly raised their heads to peek, only to see Lin San frowning, not knowing what he was thinking. "Niang Niang" didn't speak, Lin San didn't speak, everyone just knelt on the ground, and no one dared to say anything.
Master Ye, who spoke earlier, trembled as if his legs were sifted through chaff. The civilian girl Lin San "robbed" was actually a "mother"? This is simply a ridiculous joke, don't talk about others, even you can't convince yourself! I'm afraid that under the wrath, Zhu Jiu Clan is considered light.
"Get up." A woman's voice came out of the sedan chair, with a little childishness, but it was Li Xiangjun, the junior junior sister: "You guys are turning black and white, calling a deer a horse, which is infuriating. If you want your mother to be punished lightly, then today's matter will be dealt with." Write an article explaining it in detail, and submit it to the emperor. The empress has her own disposal."
Hearing that the person who spoke seemed to be a little girl, not someone whose mother loved the world, King Cheng was full of doubts, but the waist card could not be faked, so he had to promise it, Lord Ye turned pale, and wrote a note to submit to the emperor, He can no longer wear the hat of Minister of the Ministry of Officials.
"Let's all go down." Although Li Xiangjun's voice was immature, it carried a little bit of majesty. No one dared to stay longer, and hurriedly turned around and ran away. King Cheng turned his head and glanced into the sedan chair, his eyes full of doubts.
"Lin Lang, Lin Lang—" Miss Xiao's coquettish call rang in Lin Wanrong's ears, and the little girl Li Xiangjun laughed and said, "Senior Sister, your Lin Lang was scared stupid by you."
Lin Wanrong came to his senses, and hurriedly grabbed Xiao Qingxuan's small hand: "Qingxuan, what's going on? How could you be a concubine? Oh, I haven't competed with the emperor for a woman yet, grandma, this time I'm going to bombard the palace."
Li Xiangjun laughed and said: "Brother Lin, you have the guts to say such treasonous words. When you bombard the palace, call me too."
Seeing Mr. Lin's stupid look, Xiao Qingxuan covered his lips and smiled, and said affectionately: "Don't listen to Xiang Jun's nonsense. Lin Lang, my identity is not important. I, Xiao Qingxuan, are your wife. It's you, the ghost of the Lin family, who will be with you for life and life!"
