This time, I couldn't tell if I was lying.

Then Lin Shangshu looked at Emperor Wen of Jin, lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, I really don't know about this."

"A few days ago, something happened to Prince Bai and he was almost killed in the Qin Mansion. Did you know?" Emperor Wen of Jin had a cold face and stared at Lin Shangshu with his eyes.

Lin Shangshu knelt there, feeling the strong oppression from Emperor Wen of Jin Dynasty, which made Lin Shangshu remain silent.

The emperor's anger was something he could not bear.

"Your Majesty, I really don't know, and Quanzi is probably confused. After I returned, I asked Quanzi to close the casino and not let him cause trouble anymore." Lin Shangshu said eagerly, but he ignored Bai Liuguang's words in an understatement.

The assassination thing.

He seemed to have shifted his focus to just the gambling house and did not mention the killer.

However, Qin Muxiu's words came, "Lin Shangshu, do you know that if Prince Bai dies in Eastern Qin, trouble will not only happen to the Qin government, but to the entire Eastern Qin?"

When the time comes, it is really hard to say whether it will lead to the next war.

It was because Bai Liuguang disappeared in Eastern Qin that Bai Wanzhou suffered from madness. If something happens to Bai Liuguang again, last time it was the Dawan Kingdom, what about this time?

"I, I really didn't know. Your Majesty, please forgive me!" Lin Shangshu still wanted to sneak away, but was caught by Qin Muxiu. He could only kowtow and cry.

Emperor Wen of Jin had a cold face. After watching him kowtow several times, his tone was cold and he said, "Lin Shangshu doesn't know anything. It's okay if this official doesn't do anything."

"Your Majesty, I—" Lin Shangshu looked at Emperor Wen of Jin in shock, his heart trembling.

The words to beg for mercy came to his lips, but he couldn't say a word. He also knew that begging for mercy was of no use and would only make Emperor Wen of Jin even more angry.

However, now that he has finally reached the position of Minister, it would not be a good thing if he falls short of success.

"Close the gambling den and send everyone inside. Wei Lianying, you take people to the gambling den to arrest people and cleanse all the people with marks on their bodies." Emperor Wen of Jin did not kill those people, which was already a gift.

The killer, if discovered, should be killed.

But one life was still saved.

Later, Emperor Wen of Jin's eyes fell on Shangshu Lin, "Shangshu Lin is old and is not qualified for the post of Shangshu. He should resign his official position and return to his hometown."

But considering his age, Shangshu Lin can work for another ten years.

He had to retire and return home so early, which shows that Emperor Wen of Jin did not want to see him at all. Even if Lin Shangshu wanted to struggle, he could only accept it.

When Lin Shangshu left, he was still unwilling to accept it.

He did not speak to Qin Muxiu, but glared at Qin Muxiu with slightly resentful eyes, and then left the palace to prepare for the next days of retirement.

Qin Muxiu looked at Emperor Wen of Jin and said, not sure whether it was flattery or something else, "The emperor is really kind-hearted."

"It seems that the Taifu is not satisfied with my decision." Emperor Wen of Jin said.

It was not easy for him to attack Lin Shangshu.

Although it was found that the Lin family was responsible, in the final analysis Bai Liuguang was not dead. The emperor of a small country was not enough for Emperor Wen of Jin to kill the Lin family.

But I have to give an explanation to the people of Xiaowan State.

"Your Majesty, do you think this matter is over?" Qin Muxiu looked at Emperor Wen of Jin and asked.

Emperor Wen of Jin looked at him. Although he had seen Qin Muxiu's loyalty now, he still seemed to have a bit of trouble in his heart. He felt a little uncomfortable every time he thought about it.

Like a thorn, if you pull it out, there will still be a wound.

However, Emperor Wen of Jin still chose to believe Qin Muxiu, "Do you think this matter has nothing to do with the eldest prince?"
