The Ming Dynasty can be said to be capable of producing many people, and there has never been a shortage of virtuous ministers who have the talent to govern the country.

is like Li Mo, the former secretary of the ministry, who dared to accuse Wang Xian, who was the secretary of the military department at the time, in person for the sake of etiquette. Although he was demoted, he was upright and soon returned to the capital because of his outstanding political achievements and uprightness.

Because of his own excellence, he soon came to prominence, and even the commander of the Jinyi Guard at that time sent Lu Shan's protégé post.

It's just that after he served as the secretary of the ministry, he seemed to get carried away and prematurely published the political proposition of "Selecting Personnel", which included words such as "Han Wu conquered the Western Regions and wasted the sea, and Tang Xian reverted to Huai Cai and did not end his career in the evening".

In the end, Yan Shifan and others caught this handle, so as to speak to the nervous Jiajing, who was angry and convicted Li Mo and imprisoned.

Lin Haoran knew that in the whirlpool of the capital, no matter how ambitious he was, he could only endure it silently. Only when you really ascend to a high position can you have the opportunity to display your talents, otherwise you will only give people a handle and kill yourself.

He had already said enough tonight, there were many things he needed to digest, and Wu Shan was probably the same.

After continuing to talk, the two dispersed.

The room had already been prepared, and it was Wu Qiuyu's former boudoir.

Lin Haoran's official uniform has been sent from the north of the city by his subordinates, and he plans to stay in Wu's Mansion tonight, and then take a carriage directly to Shuntian Mansion early tomorrow morning to preside over the order.

The news of Wu Shan's reappointment as the head of the household department exploded like a bombshell in the capital, but after many major events in the capital, the news was quickly digested, and everything seemed to be back to normal.

Shuntian Mansion Ya, in the public court.

As the news of the public trial came out, more than 100 people and scholars gathered in the hall.

However, it is said that there are many idlers in the capital, and some people are simply waiting at the gate of the Shuntian Mansion. As long as there is a public trial, he will definitely come in and watch, thus becoming a talking point between him and his friends.

With the spread of Lin Qingtian's name, more and more people are willing to come to watch, and many candidates who are preparing to participate in the next Shuntianfu Academy examination have also come to get some "literary atmosphere".

Twelve tall soap class officials lined up in the hall, holding water and fire long sticks and smashing them vigorously on the blue brick surface, and their mouths all uttered: "Might-might!" ”

In the awe-inspiring gaze of everyone, Lin Haoran, who was wearing a three-grade official uniform, walked out from behind the screen and sat down in front of the desk in the center of the public hall.

But he saw that he was wearing a fair and honest plaque on his head, with his back against the seawater crescent screen, his face did not look angry and arrogant, he patted the shocked wood, and shouted in a deep voice: "Bring people to commit crimes!" ”

As the order was delivered, the yacha escorted the two prisoners in prison uniforms to the public court. However, one prisoner was tall and mighty, while the other prisoner was thin and short, and the size of the two was in stark contrast.

"What do the sinners do to meet your lordship!"

Facing the tall Shuncheon Mansion Yin, the short prisoner seemed to kneel down honestly and salute.

When the people and scholars in the hall heard this person's self-proclaim, they knew that another tall and powerful person was He Jiu.

Although this is actually an ordinary criminal case, it is only at the beginning of the case that the capital misreported that He Jiu was a domestic slave of the Xu family. Because it involved the second assistant of the current dynasty, everyone was very concerned about this case.

It's just that many people are puzzled, it is obviously a case of prisoners signing and detaining, why Lin Fuyin still has to be retried.

"Grass people He Jiu, meet the adults!"

He Jiu also knelt down in the court, but his face was not panicked, and his waist was straight, looking a little arrogant.

Lin Haoran actually saw the behavior of the two people in the hall, but he was turning over some papers in his hands, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, so he dried these two people first.

After these days, the officials of the Shuntian Mansion have long been obedient to Lin Haoran.

At the moment, he did not move, the officials in the hall looked ahead like soldiers, and the arrest of the people in the hall seemed to be even more eyeing, and the people and scholars in the hall did not dare to say anything.

Mutter!

This sudden silence made the two people in the hall immediately feel the pressure, especially the public hall of the Shuntian Mansion was obviously larger than the public court of the Tianxia Prefecture Government, and it was full of majesty.

He Bi felt the strangeness around him, and couldn't help but secretly raise his head, wanting to determine whether the person sitting in the hall was a living person or a dead person, or if he had been beheaded and brought to the Netherworld.

When he looked up, he happened to meet the eyes of Lord Fu Yin in the hall, but when he saw Lord Fu Yin looking at him with a smile, a cold sweat immediately slipped down his cheeks.

Lin Haoran looked at He Bi, who was eagerly bowing his head, and already had the answer in his heart, and finally asked: "He Bi, how much silver taels do you owe to the He family?" ”

Hey?

Hearing this unexpected question, the people and scholars in the hall couldn't help but be stunned. This Shuntianfu Yin escorted people to the court, did not inquire about the case, and even investigated the debt.

He Bi was suddenly asked, but he looked at He Jiu with difficulty.

He Jiu also felt the pressure in this court, and was especially watched by Lin Haoran, but he didn't dare to remind him easily, but coughed lightly.

"My lord, I don't know what you want to ask this?" He Bi couldn't grasp Lin Haoran's attempt, so he asked hard.

Lin Haoran said lightly: "It is natural to repay debts!" You are about to be beheaded, but the debt you leave behind is the debt of the father and the son, and this Fu Yin will testify for He Jiu today to prove that you still owe He Jiayin! ”

"I don't owe it! Don't owe it! Back to Lord Yin, I don't owe He Jiuyin two anymore! He Jiu was suddenly shocked in his heart, and hurriedly waved his hand to deny it.

The corners of Lin Haoran's mouth rose slightly, and he opened a slip and said, "Don't you owe it?" It's just that as far as this house knows! Your father He Maocai owes the He family ten taels of silver, and when you bury your father, you owe five taels of silver, and another marriage and treatment, a total of twenty taels, I don't know if it can be accurate? ”

"My lord, what debt does this have to do with me, and it has nothing to do with the case, right?" He Jiu suddenly questioned loudly.

Lin Haoran's face changed suddenly, and he said coldly to He Jiu with a startled face: "This mansion Yin is trying the case, how can you question it as a grass citizen!" Come on, give this mansion Yin twenty palms! ”

"You dare!"

He Jiu's eyes immediately widened, he didn't expect this Shuntian Mansion Yin to be so "unreasonable", and he didn't give him face at all, so he immediately gritted his teeth and threatened angrily.

If it was okay if he didn't say this, when he heard this threat, the yacha in charge of the torture immediately showed a fierce light in his eyes.

After they stepped forward and held He Jiu down tightly, they held a three-inch-wide bamboo ruler in their hands and slapped He Jiu's mouth fiercely, and it was already a bloody sausage in just a few strokes.
