The sedan stopped outside the gate of the government office.
Since the last fire, Jing Zhaoyin, who disappeared inexplicably, has also been replaced. The current one comes from a noble family. He also distinguishes between public and private affairs and is not afraid of the powerful.
This was also the emperor's deliberate arrangement. If my brother hadn't been locked up here, I'm afraid those people from the Shangguan family would have rushed up to frame him secretly.
"Princess, please come with me."
Outside the government office, Lin Kui has been waiting here for a long time.
The prince has ordered that the princess’ safety must be protected at all times. Although they didn't know why the emperor issued an edict to demote Lin Mengya from princess to concubine, but judging from the prince's appearance, they were afraid that this edict would be nothing more than a piece of paper to the couple.
"Good work."
Seeing Lin Kui, Lin Mengya felt relieved a little.
Long Tianyu has a wide network of contacts, and with the emperor's deliberate cultivation, there is no guarantee that Jing Zhaoyin, who has a clear sense of grievances, will not buy his face.
Besides, this doesn't mean that he is bending the law for personal gain. If he can sell Prince Yu a favor, why wouldn't he do it
Lin Mengya nodded and walked to the prison behind the government office.
In fact, there is still a question in Lin Mengya's mind that has not been solved.
Ordinarily, the brother's crime was attempted murder, which was not serious. What's more serious is that some evidence of collaboration with the enemy and treason was found in his study.
If the former was not a crime that could lead to death, then the latter was a serious crime that would annihilate the nine clans.
I wonder if the emperor did it intentionally and did not put his brother in the prison of the Ministry of War. She didn't know if this meant that the emperor just wanted to make a fuss about the attempted murder.
Moreover, my brother has fought on the battlefield for so many years and killed countless enemies. If it were ordinary perjury, no one would believe it, let alone the emperor, even the civil and military officials in the court.
In the end, what methods did the Shangguan family use to make the two brothers and sister so immobile
With so many questions in mind, Lin Mengya took Qinghu and followed Lin Kui to the door of the prison behind the government office.
Although Jing Zhaoyin's prison was not as cold as the Tian prison, it still had strict rules.
Even with Lin Kui leading the way, the prison boss would not let him go without Jing Zhaoyin's souvenir.
Lin Mengya didn't give any gold or silver to the cell leader, she just asked the kitchen to make some food and wine.
Firstly, it is considered a courtesy, and secondly, the food and wine are not considered bribes, and they probably won't make things difficult for the prison boss and the others.
Seeing how sensible Lin Mengya was, the prison boss's face became a little more kind to her.
"Madam, you're welcome. General Lin is inside. Madam, go and come back quickly. My master has already opened his eyes to the outside world."
Lin Mengya nodded and without delay, led Qinghu towards the prison.
It was not as crowded inside as shown on TV. Although the inside was a bit shabby, the windows were still clean.
Inside the rows of cells, there are very clean straws used as temporary beds.
It seems that it is not a bad thing that the previous stone prison was burned down.
"Brother, are you okay?"
Soon, Lin Mengya saw the prison where her brother lived.
Compared to the previous ones, the prison with a bed and quilt should have better conditions.
Lin Nansheng saw his sister coming in person, but just smiled bitterly and did not stand up to greet her.
"Ya'er, why are you here? Brother's matter doesn't involve you, does it?"
Lin Mengya shook her head vigorously. She hadn't seen him for just a few days. Brother, how come he has become so decadent
The handsome face slumped, and the eyes no longer shone with wisdom. It was so dusty that it made people feel as if he had lost all his self-confidence.
The white prison uniform he was wearing was also a little dirty. Just sitting on the bed like this, he no longer had the sharpness he had before.
"Brother, I will rescue you. I know that you will not do anything treasonous, let alone want to kill that person."
Seeing his sister supporting him so unswervingly, Lin Nansheng finally managed a smile after a long time.
He stood up, walked to his sister, stretched out his big rough hands, and gently stroked her delicate cheeks.
"Silly girl, what you should do is to protect yourself. Alas, it's all useless for me. If I had known that this day would have happened earlier, I would definitely not have been deceived by the traitor. Ya'er, remember, don't be so easy in the future. You can't trust anyone, even if this person is as close to you as a brother. Maybe, one day, he will stab you in the back."
Unexpectedly, as soon as her brother opened his mouth, Lin Mengya sensed the hidden meaning.
He then held his brother's hand tightly and stared at him with doubtful eyes.
"Brother, you mean that the people around you also framed you? Who is it? What is going on?"
Lin Nansheng looked at his sister reluctantly. This matter was of great importance, and he really didn't want his sister to worry about it anymore.
Moreover, now that the evidence is conclusive, even if you want to overturn the case, it may be very difficult.
"Hey, Ya'er, you'd better go back. You can't help me with this matter. If you get involved, it won't do any good to the Lin family. Don't forget, although I am your brother, we, the Lin family, and Quite a few people. If this matter continues, I'm afraid the entire Lin family will be uprooted."
Even now, my brother still has to take the overall situation into consideration.
Lin Mengya really felt like she was getting angry. She stared at her brother closely without any sign of flinching.
"Brother! You are so confused! Do you think that you can resist all the blame for your crimes by dying quietly? The Lin family is no longer the Lin family that is deeply favored by the emperor. To tell you the truth, my wife The throne has been deprived of me by the emperor. It's not you who implicated me, but the emperor, who has long been prepared to sacrifice our family."
Sacrifice is out of the question. Otherwise, the emperor would never let Lin Nansheng live in Jing Zhaoyin's prison on the charge of attempted murder.
If Lin Mengya told the truth, Lin Nansheng would definitely advise her to take care of the emperor and not to act rashly.
However, she knew one thing, her brother cared about her, and opportunities could transcend her own life.
The Lin family can laugh off all other matters and tolerate it, but protecting one's shortcomings is more important than your kindness.
Sure enough, when Lin Nansheng heard this, a flash of anger suddenly flashed across his eyes like a pool of stagnant water.
"Why did the emperor do this? Even if I committed a crime, it has nothing to do with you. It would be too unkind to be implicated in this way!"
Seeing that it was working, Lin Mengya immediately pretended to be aggrieved.
Secretly pinching his thigh, his eyes turned red instantly.
"Brother, if something happens to you, who can protect me? You don't even know that Long Tianyu doesn't want me anymore. I heard that he is about to marry someone else as his concubine. Now, he has driven me back Our family is together. My father's position as general will be taken back by the emperor. Who can protect me from being bullied by others in the future?"
Lin Nansheng was heartbroken when she saw her sister's eyes were red.
He originally thought that if he shouldered all his mistakes, at least his sister would not suffer any injustice.
Unexpectedly, neither the emperor nor Long Tianyu would dare to do this to his Ya'er.
Immediately, a pair of hands grabbed my sister's hand and comforted her carefully.
"Don't cry, don't be afraid, my brother will be fine. Now, I have nothing to worry about. Ya'er, remember, if you want to save me, go to Ziwei Alley and find a man named Gou San. Man. After meeting him, you can say that Mao Yi is treacherous, and he will naturally understand other things. As long as you find him, half of my problems will be solved."
Lin Mengya immediately wrote it down patiently. She really couldn't be blamed for playing tricks.
But with her brother's temperament, if she didn't tell him more seriously, if he was really determined to take the blame, she wouldn't be finished.
He nodded and said that he would definitely find this Gou San and clear his brother's grievances.
Lin Nansheng looked at his younger sister who was becoming more and more slender and frail, and felt that his heart was about to be crushed.
"Ya'er, you must take good care of yourself. It doesn't matter if Long Tianyu doesn't want you anymore. My brother will support you for the rest of his life and never want you to be wronged by anyone again."
Lin Mengya looked at her brother who looked worried. This time, she didn't have to pinch herself because her nose was sore.
"Brother, you must be safe and sound. I'll be waiting for you at home."
Since her brother returned to Beijing, he has sent her a lot of good things almost every month.
There is food and useful things, and there are also many private houses to use. They usually couldn't see each other, but the elder brother was always worried about her health, fearing that she would be wronged in the slightest, so every day after going to court, he would go far away and pass by the gate of Prince Yu's Mansion, just for the sake of... Ask the concierge if you are okay these days.
My brother is like this, silently using everything he has to shield himself from the wind and rain.
Therefore, Lin Mengya must save her brother at any cost.
"Good boy, don't cry. I'm fine. You go back early and take care of your health. Shangguan family members, if you come to our house again, you must not be wronged. When father comes back, he will seek justice for you."
Lin Nansheng looked at his sister, and there were thousands of worries in his heart, but in the end, they could only be turned into words of advice.
Nodding, Lin Mengya followed her brother's instructions and left the prison with three steps.
Turning back and taking a deep look at her brother's figure, Lin Mengya felt a little depressed.
Why, in this world, good people always have to be wronged, but bad people can get away with it and make misfortune
My brother and my father both sacrificed their lives and blood to protect their family and country. But in the emperor's mind, it was just a means to check and balance power.
In her heart, the evil fire that had been suppressed for a long time gradually eroded away the clarity in her heart.
Just when Lin Mengya was almost affected by this obsession, her fair and delicate forehead was suddenly flicked hard by someone's finger.
