"You don't deny it? Didn't you say that the official was open-mouthed? Wu Chunlai sneered.

"It's me who says it, don't blame Lord Wu. Lord Wu help me this time, I will give you whatever you want. The house, the money, and the fields are all completed, as long as I have them, I will give them to you. Lin Bonian shouted.

Wu Chunlai sneered: "Who is rare." All I have to do is nod my head, and there will be a lot of people to give it to me. Money is the most useless thing for me. ”

Lin Bonian was stunned and said, "That...... So what does Lord Wu want? What else can I have? By the way, from now on, I will be dispatched by Lord Wu, and I will do whatever Lord Wu says. I am willing to serve Lord Wu as a dog and horse. ”

Wu Chunlai laughed and said, "You? What's your use? You have been in the imperial court for so many years, ten years ago you were the deputy envoy of the third division, and today you are still a deputy envoy of the third division. How many of the friends you've made are useful? They are just taking a fancy to your money, and they are just getting some oil and water from you. When you were played by Fang Dunru, who came forward to speak for you? You tell me what use you have? ”

Lin Bonian was ashamed, Wu Chunlai's words were even more unbearable and vicious than pointing at his nose and scolding his mother. But at the moment, he was speechless. Wu Chun was right, he was really useless, and he, the deputy envoy of the Third Division, couldn't speak at all. Maybe he can still say a few words in the Sansi Yamen, he is a little minion in the court. The officials with lower levels than himself in the two governments speak more effectively than himself, which is exactly how many times he has secretly scolded his mother and tried his best to change. But he doesn't seem to be this material, and there is no progress at all. Ten years ago, if he hadn't spent a lot of money to hit a deputy minister from Hangzhou, and got the position of deputy envoy of the third division through him, I don't know what it would have been.

"Besides, even if I keep it a secret for you, will Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru spare you? Can't they find out what you've done? Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru are going to stand up in the imperial court, and they are sleeping, you have sent pillows, will they let you go? Think about it, I don't know if I'm dying. ”

Lin Bonian sat on the ground dejectedly, his face was pale and muttered to himself: "It's over, I can't pass this level, I'm done." ”

Wu Chunlai took a sip of tea for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "It's really almost over, but there is still help." ”

Lin Bonian's eyes lit up, and he looked at Wu Chunlai in surprise.

Wu Chunlai squinted at the candle flame and said, "Isn't your nephew Lin Jue a student of Fang Dunru?" He has a good relationship with Yan Zhengsu, why don't you ask him to be accommodating? ”

Lin Bonian sighed and said, "Don't hide it from Lord Wu, I let Lin Jue say it, but ...... They refused to stop at all, and Lin Jue was scolded by Fang Dunru. ”

Wu Chunlai laughed: "As I expected, I knew it was like this." Fang Dunru hehe...... Who knows him better than I do? Six people whose relatives do not recognize. I learned it more than 10 years ago. Even if his students begged him, he would not be. It's still the same. ”

Lin Bonian said with a sad face: "Lord Wu, what do you mean when you say that there is still salvation?" ”

Wu Chunlai replied: "Then Lin Jue didn't think of a way for you?" ”

Lin Bonian shook his head and said, "What can he come up with?" He is just a cloth cloth, except for Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru, who can he know? ”

"What about Lord Liang? Lin Jue didn't beg him for you? Wu Chunlai said.

Lin Bonian shook his head gloomily and said, "It's useless, even if Lin Jue begs, Lord Liang won't wade into this troubled water." I don't have a friendship with King Liang, how can he help me. As my lord said, during this time, the DPRK and Chinese officials avoided me one by one, as if they were afraid that I would implicate them. It's really chilling that people are so cold. ”

Wu Chunlai sneered: "You blame others, why don't you think about the consequences when you do something yourself?" Now it's strange that people are cold? Once this thing comes out, whoever gets involved will be finished, do you want others to finish with you? It's a joke. ”

Lin Bo sighed: "Yes, yes, it's all my own fault, no one else's fault." It's too late to regret it now. Even if Lord Wu lets me go, Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru will not let me go. I'm dead. I'm done. ”

Wu Chunlai looked at him quietly, and after a while, he frowned and said, "Lord Lin, you should still sit on the chair, what kind of body is it to sit on the ground?" When your maid and servant saw it, didn't they lose the face of your master? ”

Lin Bonian sighed: "I'm going to be finished, what face do I need?" This family is going to be finished, no one can run, I still care about this? Again...... My legs are shaking so much that I can't stand up, so I sit on the ground and talk slowly. ”

Wu Chunlai was speechless, but he didn't help him get up, and let him sit down in front of him.

"Lord Lin, I actually have a way to save you." Wu Chunlai said lightly.

"What? Really? Lin Bonian bounced up from the ground all of a sudden, and his legs were not weak in an instant.

"Nonsense, I still can't tell a lie? Do you think I'm visiting you in the middle of the night tonight just to scare you? I'm here to save you. Wu Chunlai said in a deep voice.

Lin Bonian was so pleasantly surprised that he almost hugged Wu Chun to kiss the two. But suddenly, like a deflated ball, his eyes dimmed. "Lord Wu, don't lie to me, how can you save me at this point? Lord Wu was willing to spare me, and they would not spare me. ”

Wu Chunlai laughed and said: "Joke, can the person Lu Xiang want to protect be able to keep it?" And the people I want to help Wu Chunlai will not be able to help? Lord Lin, you're dizzy. ”

Lin Bonian was stunned: "Lu Xiang...... Lu Xiangken protects me? ”

Wu Chunlai smiled slightly: "It depends on what you do." In fact, it is not difficult to get you away with the crime at all, I have thought of it for you. You are not the chief official in the three divisions of the yamen, and you are not the main person responsible for those things. I'm afraid that Zhang Jun will ask you to take the blame, as far as I know, Zhang Jun seems to be following the path of Yang Shumi. At that time, he will put all the blame on you deputies, and then you will die. However, we can use the same method, and it works better than them. You just have to take the initiative to admit some insignificant faults before they find out, and testify against Zhang Jun and them for these crimes. Lu Xiang and I will say some good things for you, and you can pass this level. At most, a fine of silver will be imposed, and the demotion to an official position is remarkable. But rest assured, you can make a comeback at the first opportunity. With Lu Xiang and this official, are you still afraid that you won't have a chance? ”

"When...... Seriously? Lv Xiang...... Lord Wu, are you really willing to protect me? This way...... Does it really work? ”

"Lord Lin, it's time for you, do you still have a choice? I will do it, whether you believe it or not, I don't care. If you believe in me, I will help you. If you don't believe it, the official won't bother with you, and will leave immediately. But after that, you come to beg me, even if you kneel in front of me and kowtow and break the blood, don't blame the official for ignoring you. ”

"Believe in it, of course I believe that Lord Wu and Lu Xiang can save me. I mean...... Why did Lord Wu and Lu Xiang help me? Lin has no friendship with Lord Wu and Lu Xiangsu......"

Wu Chunlai smiled and said, "That's a good question, huh...... Originally, your life or death really has nothing to do with us. You, Lord Lin, don't have any friendship with Lu Xiang and I, Wu Chunlai. We can't talk about friendship, and we don't have any grievances, but we're just colleagues as officials. Lord Lin deserves it, and we really shouldn't wade into this troubled water. ”

Lin Bonian smiled and nodded, looking extremely embarrassed.

"However, there will be great changes in the DPRK and China at the moment, and some people want to do things and make them uneasy, so how can Lu Xiang and I agree. Therefore, to ensure that you get rid of your sin, it is better to strike first, and I don't want you to be planted in the hands of some people. If you want to carry it, it has to be planted in our hands, so why let some people stand in the middle of the court. Zhang Jun deserves it, just a three-minister, relying on a good relationship with Yang Shumi, he can be bold and reckless. Speaking of which, your three divisions and yamen should be completely under the orders of my political affairs hall. The imperial court is so short of money and food, and Yang Shumi's military expenses are diligent, but as long as you open your mouth, you will always do your best to meet them. Military spending has emptied the treasury, and there is no money to use for many things, which Lu Xiang has long been dissatisfied with. ”

Lin Bonian nodded with a smile, and said in his heart: It turns out that the Sansi Yamen is so cautious, and all the people who can't be offended dare not offend, but in the end, it still failed to satisfy Lu Xiang. Lu Xiang had already been dissatisfied. Hey, the Sansi Yamen looks like a fat shortage, but it is actually a yamen that offends people, and he knew it was so, so he didn't sharpen his head and went inside. It's not a human inside or out.

"Of course, there's a reason why we're here to keep you safe." Wu Chunlai paused.

Lin Bonian's heart moved, this was exactly what he wanted to know. In addition to Zhang Jun, there are three deputy envoys in the yamen of the three divisions. Those two are much more alive than themselves, why did Wu Chunlai come to protect himself?

"We want to keep you safe, but when we come, we think that you are not the one who is in charge, but we have no choice but to go along with them. There are some things that I know very well, and everyone in a yamen has to act according to the thoughts of the chief officer, and even if there is an opinion in the stomach, it cannot be said. That's probably the case for you. So I want to give you a chance. Wu Chunlai said.

"Oh, Lord Wu is really like seeing it with his own eyes, that's it, that's it, it's like that, there's no way." Lin Bonian patted his thigh and shouted, as if he was the most wronged person in the world.

Wu Chunlai smiled, waved his hand and said, "The second point is that we decided to protect you because of one person." ”

"Who? Because of whom? Lin Bonian was surprised.

"Lin Jue!" Wu Chunlai slowly spit out the name.

"Because of him? What do you mean by that? I'm confused. Lin Bonian said dumbfounded.

"Lord Lin, do you know the ranking of this branch of the Spring Sect?" Wu Chunlai smiled.

"Didn't you say that the gold list would be announced tomorrow? How do you know at this moment? Oh yes, Lord Wu is the examiner, you know. Lin Bonian said with a wink.

"The official naturally knows, and the official can reveal it to you in advance. The champion of this department is none other than Lin Jue, the nephew of your Lord Lin. ”

"Huh? Is this true? Lin thinks it's the champion? This...... It's unbelievable. Lin Bonian was stunned.

"You're the head of the family, you're not competent. Your Lin family has such a talent, but you don't seem to care about him at all. If I were you, why should I inquire in advance, the relationship between Toto and something. I'm afraid you don't even know what your nephew is capable of. But it's no wonder that I heard that he is the third concubine of your Lin family, in the eyes of people like you Lord Lin, I am afraid that a child of this kind of background has nothing to care about at all. Wu Chunlai sneered and teased.
