Chapter 550: Iron Mask
The messenger entered the public room, and after a while, Fang Dunru's voice came from inside the public room: "You go out for a while, and the old man will see a guest." ”
There was a noise of footsteps, and four or five officials poured out from the door one after another, and the messenger arched his hand towards Lin Jue and said, "Lord Lin, please come in." ”
Lin Jue thanked him and stepped into the door. But I saw that the room was in a mess, and several desks were piled up with files and papers, and they were piled up into a hill. Behind a huge table at the back, Fang Dunru was sitting upright on a chair staring at him, his brows furrowed slightly.
"The student has seen sir!" Lin Jue stepped forward and bowed.
Fang Dunru's expression was serious, and he nodded, "You're here." Come and sit. ”
Lin Jue thanked him and sat down on a stool on the side. Fang Dunru said lightly: "Is there anything wrong with coming to me so late?" ”
Lin Jue smiled: "Come and see Mr. Can't you?" I heard that Mr. has been living in the yamen during this time, and I don't know how Mr. is doing, so I came to take a look. ”
Fang Dunru glared and reprimanded: "If you have something to say, what kind of detour?" Don't you see that I'm busy here? I've wasted my official time to see you, and if you're all right, go back." I'm fine, you don't have to worry. ”
Lin Jue rolled his eyes and said busily: "Okay, okay, don't be angry, sir, I do have something to see sir." ”
Fang Dunru glanced at Lin Jue, nodded and said, "Say, what's the matter?" ”
Lin Jue coughed and said in a low voice: "The student just received a report that my second Bolin Bonian was taken away from the mansion. I don't know which yamen arrested him, and the family is very anxious. I thought that maybe my husband knew about it, so I came to ask him overnight. Sir, do you know which yamen arrested him? ”
Fang Dunru looked at Lin Jue in a daze, and suddenly laughed: "Lin Jue, what kind of cleverness are you playing in front of the old man?" You know that I am the one arrested by the Yamen of Yushitai, but why do you deliberately ask this? I knew you were here for this. To tell you plainly, Lin Bonian is suspected of corruption, bribery, bribery, dereliction of duty, using the power of public office for personal gain, and other major crimes. Tonight, it's my Imperial Observatory who goes and gets him. Now you get the idea. ”
Although Lin Jue had already guessed that this was the case, but when he heard it with his own ears at this moment, Ren Jiu couldn't help but be shocked. Sure enough, it was Lin Bonian's matter that made a big fuss.
"Sir, is it really that serious?" Lin Jue asked in surprise.
"Hmph, it's worse than you think. Not only him, but the entire Sansi Yamen is rotten. The key department of my imperial court's finance and taxation expenditure, but it has raised such a group of rats and silverfish, how can it be tolerated? If you look at these dossier materials, the dossiers and account books of the three divisions and yamen over the years are all here. We have to spend a lot of time checking and auditing these books and files to find out how much money they have embezzled and wasted. It will take at least 10 days for more than 10 days for a dozen of my officials here to check these accounts. Go back, don't waste my time. Fang Dunru said in a deep voice.
Lin Jue frowned and said, "Sir, is my second uncle's crime serious?" How serious is it? Do you want to kill your head, or do you want to destroy your home? Or is it more serious? ”
Fang Dunru looked at Lin Jue and said, "Lin Jue, I know your concern, Lin Bonian is the head of your Lin family and your second uncle." You can't just sit idly by. I understand that. If you want to ask for news and think of a way, that's human nature. But you know the old man, although you and I are teachers and students, you know that I will not show favoritism. How serious this matter will be depends on the results of the final investigation. You better go back and stay well, the old man's advice to you in this matter is, don't mess around, don't meddle in things. You can't save him, you don't have to put yourself in it. Lin Bonian is Lin Bonian, you are you. If it really involves the entire Lin family. Naturally, I won't leave you alone at that time. Actually, I have already thought of a way for you, and this matter has a great possibility of designing your Lin family. So, since you're here tonight, the old man might as well tell you directly. I think you should immediately issue a statement to the outside world and quit the Lin family. After all, you are just a concubine of the Lin family, and you have not been protected by the Lin family for many years, so there is no need to be unlucky with the Lin family. Get out of it, and the old man will keep you. ”
Lin Jue looked at Fang Dunru in astonishment, he didn't expect Fang Dunru to actually come up with such an idea for himself. Of course, this is also Fang Dunru's subtle reminder to himself how serious Lin Bonian's matter is. It is likely to affect the rest of the Lin family, as well as his own future.
However, how could Lin Jue agree to this method, one of his reborn missions was to protect the Lin family, if he broke with the Lin family when the Lin family was in danger, what would he become? Lin Jue was surprised that Fang Dunru would actually ask him to do such a thing, maybe he was really for his own good, but Lin Jue had already rejected this proposal without hesitation in his heart.
"Lin Jue, I know it's not a good idea, but the old man feels that sometimes he has to give up something to protect himself. You will have a great future ahead of you, and you must not be implicated by others. I've been very busy during this time, and I haven't cared about you, and I've heard about your official award, which is really unexpected. But I don't have time to pay attention to it. But you don't have to worry, stay there first, Lord Yan and I have prepared a new official position for you, and there will be a place for you to show your talents. But the premise is that you can't be involved in Lin Bonian's case. Go back, and if necessary, the old man will tell you what to do. ”
Fang Dunru saw Lin Jue's stunned appearance, and he also sighed in his heart. In the past ten years since Wu Chunlai betrayed himself, Fang Dunru actually did introspection. He felt that he really should shelter the people around him. Sometimes complete integrity is not a good thing. For Lin Jue, he did make some plans for his future.
Lin Jue let out a long breath and said calmly: "Thank you Mr. for your concern." Sir, I have a request, I wonder if you will grant it. ”
Fang Dunru said: "You say yes." ”
Lin Jue said: "I want to meet the head of the family." I think he should be in the Imperial Prison now. ”
Fang Dunru frowned and reprimanded, "Did you say all the words that Shicai told you in vain?" that thou shalt not mind the matter, but thou shalt not listen to me. What are you going to do to him? Besides, can the detaining officials be seen casually? You don't want to think about what your identity is, you are also an official of the imperial court now, and it is absolutely not allowed to see a criminal official. ”
Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "Sir, I just met the head of the family as the Lin family, this is not against the law." I'm the nephew of the head of the house, can't I go and visit? Besides, now that his crime is unconvicted, he cannot be called a prisoner. Aren't you verifying the incriminating evidence? At best, he's just a suspect. The imperial court could detain him, but it could not deprive his family of visitation. Students are also proficient in the study of the Great Zhou Law. ”
Fang Dunru looked at Lin Jue in a daze for a moment, then frowned and said, "Lin Jue, why can't you listen to the old man?" You can visit, but what good is this visit for you? I won't let you go, it's for your own good. Do you think no one knows about your visit? As long as you go, many people will know that you can't hide it. ”
Lin Jue arched his hand and said: "If you can't hide it, you can't hide it, and it's not a traitor." Sir, it is normal for students to go to see the head of the family, do you want students to ignore it and be unfilial? Sir, Lin Jue can't do it. Sir probably doesn't want me to do that. ”
Fang Dunru glared at Lin Jue fiercely, and finally waved his hand and sighed: "That's it, you are so stubborn, I don't want to persuade you more." You can go and see it, but I'm telling you, follow the rules, never say what you shouldn't say, never ask what you shouldn't ask, and never let you get involved, understand? ”
Lin Jue bowed and saluted, and said in a deep voice: "Sir, rest assured, how can the student not understand this, the student just saw the head of the family and gave him emotional safety." Maybe he can tell me something you can't ask and help make this case progress. ”
Fang Dunru was noncommittal, waved his hand and said, "You go, wait at the door, I will lead you forward." After that, if you're all right, you can go. No more goodbye. ”
Lin Jue bowed down and agreed, turning around to go. Fang Dunru's voice behind him came softly: "Lin Jue, Huanqiu's matter...... You don't have to mind. You can't blame you for that. It can only be said that you have nothing to do with Huanqiu. ”
Lin Jue turned his head and looked at Fang Dunru in a daze, not knowing what to say.
Fang Dunru sighed softly and said, "Your master and sister were brought back by you, I heard your master and sister say that you and Huanqiu have already talked about it, then it's good." On weekdays, you can also go for a walk. I haven't been able to take care of my family lately, so you can take care of it. But I hope you understand in your heart that you and Huanqiu are just brother and sister, and you must respect etiquette and self-respect and self-love. I won't say much about this matter, you understand the reason yourself, and you don't need to say much for the teacher. ”
Lin Jue nodded and said softly, "Yes." ”
Fang Dunru waved his hand and said, "You go." ”
Lin Jue bowed, sighed secretly, and walked out quickly.
