Yan Zhengsu stopped the general investigation of the whole government, because he felt that such an investigation was meaningless, and he couldn't find anything at all. In addition, he and Fang Dunru began to wonder if they had made a mistake in the draft of the new law. Although it is clear that it is correct to remember, after all, they are all people who are over half a hundred years old, and sometimes they often get things wrong with their old eyes, which is also difficult to say.

What's more, such a large-scale investigation made the atmosphere of the entire yamen extremely tense and made people panic, which Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru did not want to see.

However, just when the two of them were sitting in the public room sulking, a sneaky figure quietly appeared at the door.

Hearing the order of the two adults to stop the investigation, Du Wei gradually breathed a long sigh of relief, and his tense expression relaxed a lot. Tian Muyuan was also very happy, and said in a loud voice: "Just say, how could it be that people from our yamen did such a thing?" Who has the guts? The two adults were afraid that they were mistaken. ”

Du Wei gradually looked at him and smiled. Tian Muyuan said: "What? Am I not right? Can you, Lord Du, do this, or can Lord Lin do this? I won't. ”

Du Wei gradually smiled and said: "What Lord Tian said is very true. ”

Lin Jue also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, although he was not too worried, but if he really wanted to investigate strictly, it was difficult to say that he would not be found out. It is best if things can calm down. It's just a pity that the bag drop was discovered in advance, and the emperor didn't even see the previous version. After this, Mr. and Lord Yan will definitely insist on going their own way and submit the draft they revised to the Imperial Review. Shouldn't I go and talk to the two adults again? But now that things have come to this point, the two adults will definitely not listen to themselves, and what they say is equivalent to saying it in vain. This is what worries me the most.

While I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a noise of footsteps outside. Under the corridor of the public house, the figure flickered. As soon as the door darkened, a crowd of people poured into the public house. Lin Jue turned his head to look and stood up in surprise. It turned out that the two adults who came in were Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru, whose faces were as cold as ice, and Liu Xiding, who had a weird smile on his face. Lin Jue suddenly realized that from the time the incident happened to the present, Liu Xiding, who was usually surrounded by him like a fly, had not been in the public house. At this moment, he came in with the two adults, which gave Lin Jue a hint of foreboding.

"For the lowest rank, see Lord Yan and Lord Fang." Lin Jue Du gradually Tian Muyuan hurriedly got up and left his seat to salute.

Fang Dunru snorted coldly, his eyes locked on Lin Jue, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Lin Jue, are you guilty?" ”

Lin Jue's heart sank, and he kept calm and said, "Sir, the student doesn't know what the crime is. ”

"Don't call me sir, as I said, there are no masters and apprentices in the yamen, only Shangguan and subordinates. Besides, I don't want to have a student like you, the old man is ashamed of you! Fang Dunru shouted angrily.

Lin Jue's body was shocked, shocked and disgusted.

"My lord, what's going on?" Du Wei gradually listened to Fang Dunru's tone and felt that something was wrong.

"Shut up. Your account will also be settled, but you are still behind, and the official will solve Lin Jue's matter first. Come again to cure your sins. Fang Dunru scolded coldly.

Du Wei was gradually frightened and did not dare to speak.

"Lin Jue, don't you still admit it? You did the work of the new law and regulations, and it is useless for you to deny it in every possible way, and the existing eyewitnesses saw you sneaking into my public house early in the morning and acting in a sneaky manner, so you should not tell me that you entered my public house because your official hat fell into my public house. You deceived us that your official hat was left in your public house, so you should go back to your official house and take it when you come back. But the fact is that you and Ben didn't even enter the public house for the inspection of the school, and you just came back under the pretext of stealing the first draft of the new law and regulations that were invalidated in my public house, and dropped your bag on the way. What do you have to say to argue with it now? Fang Dunru shouted in a deep voice.

Lin Jue sweated on his spine, and what he was worried about became a fact. This was originally an impromptu plan, and it was not very well thought. But it was revealed so quickly, but I didn't expect it.

"You must ask who the eyewitnesses are. Liu Xiding, repeat what you said to me and Master Yan, not a word is allowed to exaggerate, not a word is allowed to be omitted. Fang Dunru shouted.

Liu Xiding bowed down and agreed, his eyes did not dare to look at Lin Jue, he only bowed his head and said, "Humble duty...... The lowly came a little earlier today, and when he saw that it was cold in the public house, he went to the corner of the wall to get firewood and prepare a brazier. I happened to see Lord Lin coming back in a hurry. Ben wondered why Lord Lin didn't enter the palace with the two adults, but he saw that Lord Lin went into the public room of the two adults by himself, and soon came out with something in his arms. At that time, he didn't care, thinking that he was sent back by two adults to get something. It wasn't until I learned about the new laws and regulations that I understood. He was a member of the Yamen of the Ordinance Division, and he couldn't hide such a thing from the two adults. Therefore, I would like to report this matter to the two adults. The lowly can swear to the heavens, and everything that the lowly office says is true, and there is no half-truth. ”

"Liu Xiding, you dog." Du Wei suddenly scolded loudly.

Liu Xiding swallowed and spitted and shouted: "Du Weichuan, what are you scolding me for?" Lord Lin did this himself, should I hide it for him? I, Liu Xiding, am determined to follow the two adults to complete this immortal feat for the sake of changing the law, but someone wants to obstruct it and secretly sabotage it, how can I tolerate it? Although we are colleagues and have a good relationship on weekdays, I will never be ambiguous about this major matter. ”

"Fuck your shit. Are you also worthy of talking about changing the law? What have you done for the new law? Lord Lin racked his brains for the new laws and regulations, what did you do? You say that Lord Lin is destroying the new law? Put your damn stinking fart. Du Wei gradually changed his past gentle attitude and scolded.

Liu Xiding shouted at Fang Dunru and Yan Zhengsu: "Two adults, look at it, look at it, Du Wei is gradually going too far, full of foul language and insults, in front of the two adults, this guy is too arrogant and domineering......"

"It's you who scolds you." Du Wei's face gradually became bruised, and he reprimanded angrily.

solemnly reprimanded: "Du Weichuan, you are more restrained, you are also an accomplice in this matter, how dare you be so domineering?" Liu Xiding did the right thing, did he want to deceive us? Do you have to do such a painful thing like you? ”

Du Wei glared at Liu Xiding fiercely, like an angry lion. An ordinary and gentle person has become so angry and terrible at this moment.

Lin Jue was very relieved, Du Wei gradually didn't have to say anything to himself, he was actually a lover. At the beginning, he didn't pretend to himself and ignored him, which really didn't give him a good impression. But after contact, Lin Jue found out that Du Weijian was actually a person who didn't have too many scheming. When he has something, he shows it outward, and expresses his heart directly. Joy and anger are in the face and words, and they never hide themselves. This kind of person is actually the most simple and cute. He is also a hot-blooded person, and he really came to the Ordinance Department for the dream of success in changing the law, unlike some people in the Ordinance Division who came for speculation. After getting to know this person, Lin Jue quickly became good friends with him. At this moment, he reprimanded Liu Xiding for himself, which is also a manifestation of his straightforward and simple personality.

"Lin Jue, the eldest husband dares to act, do you still want to deny it? has not honestly admitted his guilt and mistakes, and does not want to deny it. Yan Zhengsu turned to Lin Jue and shouted.

Lin Jue let out a long breath and said in a deep voice: "Two adults, so far, I have to admit that this matter was indeed done by me. It was I who found that the content of the new law and regulations did not match the previously agreed content, so I decided to drop the package. Lin Jue does things by himself, I admit that I did it, but I can't admit any guilt or mistake. ”

"Bastard thing, since you made it, why don't you admit your mistake?" Fang Dunru shouted angrily.

Lin Jue said softly: "How did the two adults promise to be officials before, you promised to formulate new laws and regulations according to my suggestions, but you broke your promise and secretly revised the content of the regulations. The two adults were dishonest first, and the lower officials had to do it. The two adults are wrong before me, unless the two adults admit their mistakes, Lin Jue is willing to admit his mistakes or even admit his guilt. ”

"Hehehe." Fang Dunru laughed angrily, pointed at Lin Jue's nose and shook his head: "Lin Jue, the old man didn't expect you to become like this, you should give full play to your talents when you come to the ordinance department to help change the law." Lord Yan and I have high expectations of you. But you are arrogant and arrogant, and you don't take the old man and Lord Yan seriously. Aren't the old man and Master Yan as well-informed as you? You keep putting forward all kinds of contradictory opinions, and Lord Yan and I have tolerated you again and again, which is to love you, not to connive. You're going to be in charge of the ordinance department, aren't you? It's a pity that you don't have that ability yet. Lord Yan and I are going to do what you tell us? You're too arrogant. Lin Jue, Lin Jue, once upon a time, the old man had great expectations for you, hoping that you could make a difference in the future. You are quite talented and strategic, if you train properly, you will be a pillar of the court in the future. But you have completely lost yourself, and you are no longer the Lin Jue that the old man expected. The old man is your teacher, but the old man can no longer control you, and you have embarked on a different path from me. Even so, there is no need to force it. Although the old man is heartbroken, he does not want to be infamous because of you in the future. Lin Jue, the fate of you and I as master and apprentice has ended, from now on you are you, I am me, you are no longer my disciple, and I am no longer your teacher. Everything before was regarded as a dream, and from now on, it will be cut in two, and the two will have nothing to do with each other. ”

Fang Dunru's words were sad and indignant, although his voice was soft, it was like rolling thunder on the top, deafening. Everyone present, including Lin Jue, stood there stunned, stunned by his words.

"Sir!" Lin Jue knelt on the ground with a puff and shouted in a trembling voice.

"Lord Fang, how can you do this? Lord Lin is thinking about the new law, for the sake of the two adults. He didn't do it for personal gain. He also respects and loves you very much, if you drive him out of the door, how unfair will it be to Lord Lin? Du Wei gradually shouted.

"Don't say it, I had this idea a long time ago, if it weren't for the old love, the old man would have made a decision a long time ago. But affection is one thing, morality is another. If our disciples and the old man are against each other and hindered everywhere, then they are different from each other. This time you have gone too far, too boldly. There was no me in his eyes at all, and the old man saw through this. After severing the master-apprentice relationship, there is less emotional bondage, which is good for him and me. From then on, he could do what he wanted without any scruples, and the old man didn't have to worry about him. That's probably what he wants. I have made up my mind, and I need no more words. The corners of Fang Dunru's lips trembled, and he said in a deep voice.

Lin Jue's face was pale, and he knelt on the ground and couldn't speak. The wolf is coming, the wolf is really coming.

Du Wei gradually said to Lin Jue: "Lord Lin, don't you still ask Lord Fang to admit your mistakes?" ”

Lin Jue was stunned, not because he didn't want to intercede, but because he knew in his heart that it was useless to plead and admit his mistakes. From Fang Dunru's words, he felt the determination, which could not be solved by pleading. Moreover, the rift between himself and Fang Dunru was not caused only by today's incident, but by the accumulation of various things over a long period of time. This is not the first time that Fang Dunru has wanted to expel himself from the wall, this is the fourth time he has said such things. This shows that he has actually tolerated himself to the limit.

Fang Dunru was originally a person with a strong temperament, what he needed was the people around him, his wife, daughter, and students were absolutely obedient to his ideas, and he was willing to sacrifice to fulfill his ideals. This is fine in the academy, but it is obvious after entering the academy. He doesn't care about anyone's thoughts, and only fights for the most important thing in his mind, so he is also extreme and tough in his behavior, he can't listen to any opinions, and he becomes unscrupulous in his actions.

At the beginning, Lin Bonian's matter, he didn't care about Lin Jue's thoughts at all, which left a shadow in Lin Jue's heart. The coerced Lin Jue had to use almost coercion to make a deal with him. Since then, the gap between master and apprentice has grown. After that, Lin Jue's different opinions on the matter of changing the law made Fang Dunru more and more dissatisfied with Lin Jue. Fang Dunru couldn't accept that his students were constantly contradicting him, what he needed was Lin Jue's absolute loyalty and obedience. But how could Lin Jue be such a person?

Lin Jue actually didn't think it was meaningful. What he did was really to help Yan Fang and the others complete the change, because Lin Jue's identity as a traverser made him have a deeper understanding of this change. He couldn't just watch them go down a path that proved to be a rollover. It's a pity that he couldn't make Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru understand the problem, and he really couldn't explain it clearly in words. Do you tell them that there are people in another time and space who have done the same thing as you, who have failed, who have been ruined, who have been scolded for hundreds or thousands of years? Do you tell them that I came here on that plane? In that case, they will definitely treat themselves as crazy people.

Faced with this situation, Lin Jue had a deep sense of powerlessness. He felt that it was time for him to give up, to do what he could, and to do his best. It seems that the rolling torrent of history cannot be reversed by his own strength at this moment, so he can only give up. The only thing that Lin Jue regretted was that the emotions that he and Fang Dunru had gone through for two lives had come to naught. What should I do? What about the little sister? Will they be very sad and sad when they hear the news?

"Lin Jue, why are you stunned, please plead." Du Wei gradually shouted to himself, he knew how much impact this matter had on Lin Jue, once he was expelled from the division, Lin Jue would not only not be able to gain a foothold in the Ordinance Division, but he would probably become the target of ridicule in the officialdom of the capital. What should Lin Jue do?

Lin Jue remained silent. Du Wei gradually turned to Yan Zhengsu and shouted: "Lord Yan, if you say something, Lord Lin is confused for a while, and I am also responsible for this matter." How can you bear such a heavy penalty? How did this teach him to stand on his feet in the future? ”

Yan Zhengsu's face was indifferent and he didn't say a word. Obviously, Yan Zhengsu didn't want to say another word for Lin Jue. He was also completely disappointed in Lin Jue.

Fang Dunru slowly walked to the table, picked up the pen to write a document to sever the relationship between master and apprentice, slowly blew the ink, and came to Lin Jue, who was kneeling on the ground. He said in a dumb voice: "Lin Jue, don't blame the old man. You know, whoever disagrees with me about changing the law, I will not tolerate him. Neither can you. You and I are masters and apprentices here, from now on, you can do it yourself. ”

The paper full of words fell in front of Lin Jue. Lin Jue looked at the piece of paper in front of him in a daze, and didn't speak for a long time. Finally, he sighed lightly, prostrate on the ground, and kowtowed three times to Fang Dunru.

"Sir, if the student is not guilty, he is to blame. Today, Mr. expelled me out of the wall, it was all the student's fault, and the student felt guilty. From now on, students will no longer be able to serve in front of the gentleman's seat, and their hearts will be painful. The student knows that the gentleman has done his best to me, and the student does not make the slightest argument. However, the student only wants to give Mr. one last word of advice, and the matter of changing the law should not be rushed. There is no shame in compromise, but wisdom. Blindly seeking speed and seeking immediate results, I am afraid that I will not be able to achieve it quickly. ”

"Lin Jue, what are you going to say about it now? You know I don't think the same way you do, so you don't have to say. You can't serve in the Ordinance Department anymore, I discussed it with Lord Yan, and we are indeed at fault for not being honest with you about this matter. Therefore I will not be harsh on you. Tomorrow, you will go back to your place where you came. In short, you are good at what you do. The muscles on Fang Dunru's face trembled, and he shook his head with a sigh.

Lin Jue also sighed lightly and nodded, knowing that it was useless to say more, and no matter how much they said, they would not listen. So he kowtowed again, got up, bowed to Yan Zheng and said, "Lord Yan, Lin Jue is so grateful. The lower official has resigned, and I hope that Lord Yan can fulfill his long-cherished wish. ”

Yan Zhengsu groaned: "Lin Jue, you are a person with outstanding intelligence, and this official is extremely optimistic about you. But...... Hey, don't say it, don't say it, you can do it yourself. ”

Lin Jue nodded, turned to Tian Muyuan, Du Wei and the others and saluted: "Two adults, take care of you, Lin Jue is leaving, I am fortunate to know these two good friends of you." ”

Tian Muyuan shouted: "Lord Lin! You...... Do you really want to go? ”

Lin Jue smiled bitterly: "I can't help it." Take care, everyone. ”

Lin Jue stood up and looked at Fang Dunru. Fang Dunru turned his body and stroked his beard silently. Lin Jue bowed deeply to Fang Dunru, turned around and walked out of the door, and walked away.
