Chapter 1159: Waves
Lin Haoran left the public hall, followed by Mo Fei, who was standing next to him, nodded lightly, and motioned for him to follow. The reason why things have made such a breakthrough is also due to Mo Fei.
During his trip to Songjiang Mansion, Mo Fei conducted an in-depth investigation into He Jiu's case. As a result, under his conscientious investigation, he found that in addition to the villagers Zeng Si being killed, there was such a shocking case hidden.
The reason why he came back late was that he was indeed blocked by the Songjiang Mansion, and secondly, Mo Fei secretly conducted a secret investigation on the destruction of the embankment and flooding the fields.
It is precisely because of this that Mo Fei's trip to Songjiang did not achieve much on the surface, but in fact brought back this shocking case.
"The grass people send Lin Qingtian to him!"
The people in the hall watched Lin Haoran leave, and a large group of people knelt down again.
Whether it was upholding justice for Zeng Si, helping He Bi get out of the sea of suffering, or exposing the ugly behavior of destroying embankments and flooding fields in Songjiang Mansion, Lin Haoran won their support again.
Unlike officialdom that likes to talk about seniority, people are more willing to judge heroes by their ability. Now Lin Haoran's various actions have made them ignore Lin Haoran's age and think that he is the most ideal candidate for Shuntian Mansion Yin.
Lin Haoran faced the support of the people in the hall, although there was some warmth in his heart, but he knew that he had to leave expressionless at this moment.
His face is still too green, and he is not suitable for the people-friendly route like Xu Jie, but should keep some distance from the people and create an iron-faced and selfless image for the people.
Mo Fei followed Lin Haoran through Gongyin's gate, and asked anxiously, "Lord Fu Yin, what should we do next?" ”
"I will tell the emperor about this matter and ask the emperor to send a messenger to Songjiang Mansion to investigate the destruction of the embankment!" Lin Haoran had already made a decision in his heart, and immediately said the plan in his heart.
"Lord Fu Yin, I heard that it is Xu Ge Lao who is dealing with it now, I'm afraid this matter will become more and more black!" Mo Fei seemed to be open-mouthed, and immediately said worriedly.
Lin Haoran immediately stood in the courtyard in front of the second hall, turned around and admonished: "Don't talk nonsense!" The destruction of the embankment and flooding the fields can only be said to be the work of He Jiu, but we don't have any evidence to prove that this matter has anything to do with the Xu family! ”
"Xia Guan just lost his words!" Mo Fei knew that this would inevitably cause trouble, so he hurriedly apologized.
Lin Haoran knew that Mo Fei was eager to find out the matter, and immediately admonished: "If we have done this step, we have already fulfilled our duty as a courtier." As for who will investigate the destruction of the embankment and flooded the fields, and to what extent it will be found in the end, this is not something we can control, do you understand? ”
"Thank you, Lord for teaching!" Mo Fei bowed his hand in disappointment.
Lin Haoran looked at Mo Fei's disappointed expression, and couldn't bear to promise: "But you found out about it first, if you have the opportunity, I will recommend you to assist in the investigation!" ”
After Mo Fei heard this, he swept away the loss just now and thanked him again.
With the end of the public trial of the Shuntian Mansion, the news soon spread throughout the capital. It's just that everyone's focus is obviously not on Zeng Si's case, but more concerned about the horrific incident of destroying embankments and flooding fields in Songjiang Prefecture.
Xu's house, in the guest hall.
"This kid is so ruthless!"
After Xu Fan got the news, he sat down on the chair, grabbed the chair handle with both hands, and said with gritted teeth.
Although they have already erased the relationship between the Xu family and He Jiu, whether He Jiu kills people or not can no longer involve their Xu family, but now things have undoubtedly changed significantly.
It was rumored in the capital that He Jiu was the slave of the Xu family, but now He Jiu admitted to destroying the embankment and flooding the fields, but their Xu family has become the biggest beneficiary, which makes it difficult for their Xu family to argue.
A river embankment was destroyed, and although the Xu family's land suffered the greatest loss, these losses were bearable. It is only for ordinary people who have also suffered from the disaster that it is very likely that they will be forced to go bankrupt and have to sell their land to survive the disaster.
It is precisely because of this that since ancient times, there has been no shortage of large landowners who have done things to destroy embankments and flood fields. After inflicting heavy losses on the common people, they took the opportunity to buy the land from the common people at a low price, and let the bankrupt people become their tenants, thus becoming a real beneficiary.
Now that He Jiu has admitted to destroying the embankment and flooding the fields, and their Xu family did take the opportunity to buy a lot of land and property in the flood last year, these two things are linked together, and it is inevitable that people will suspect that their Xu family is the mastermind behind the scenes.
Lin Haoran obviously knew the seriousness of this, so he interrogated He Jiu, and designed to make He Jiu admit to the destruction of the embankment and flooding the fields in court, so as to give them a blow to the Xu Mansion.
Chen Boren saw Xu Fan's angry expression in his eyes, and vaguely guessed what Lin Haoran had done, so he asked: "Xu Shaoqing, I don't know what happened?" If you need help, just ask! ”
Xu Fan hesitated for a moment, knowing that this matter would soon spread throughout the capital, so he told all the news he had just gotten.
Chen Boren was mentally prepared, but after hearing the whole story, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and said in surprise: "He Jiu admitted that he destroyed the embankment and flooded the fields? ”
Even if there are witnesses, it can easily deal with the past. It's just that He Jiu, the party, admitted in court, which undoubtedly made the matter irreparable.
Destroying the embankment and flooding the fields is not a trivial matter, but a major event that can alarm the saints. Now it doesn't matter whether He Jiu has any connection with the Xu Mansion or not, and the Xu family, as the biggest beneficiary of last year's flood, has splashed dirty water on the Xu family.
If one is not handled properly, not to mention that the Xu Mansion will be dragged into the whirlpool, even Xu Jie's resignation will be returned.
Obviously, this turmoil caused by Lin Haoran has already affected the situation of the entire court, and it will even succeed Gao Yao, the head of the household, when Xu Jie, the second assistant of the court, will also be planted in his hands.
"It's all my brother's stupid pig, our Xu family was really dragged down by He Jiu's stab!" Xu Fan seemed to be more and more angry the more he thought about it, and he slammed it the handle of the chair and said angrily.
Chen Boren also sighed lightly in his heart, but he knew that there was no regret medicine in this world, so he calmly reminded: "Xu Shaoqing, the top priority now is probably to discuss with Xu Ge Lao immediately to discuss how to deal with it, after all, the matter must be to alarm the saint!" ”
"That's right! Right! Xu Fan also reacted, and hurriedly called a messenger to spread the news to the palace.
At this point, it is no longer something he can handle, and his father must come forward in person, so that he can suppress the turmoil caused by Shuntianfu.
Chen Boren watched the messenger leave, lifted the teacup and tasted the tea silently, but his face could not hide the look of worry.
He Jiu is now in the prison of Shuntian Mansion, once he is done by others, He Jiu insists that it was Xu Mansion who instructed him to destroy the embankment and flood the fields, and Xu Jie can only resign and return to the country.
I thought that with Yan Song's old age, and Xu Jie's project to rebuild the Wanshou Palace, he had already gained the favor of the saints, which was an inevitable thing to replace Yan Song.
But he never thought that the kid suddenly made a fuss, and pulled Xu Jie into the mud, which made the situation in the court immediately confusing, and the water in the capital was completely muddy.
