At night.

Shandong Quancheng, Governor's Office.

Shandong Governor Luo Shikuan did not have the majestic appearance of the past. He was ashamed of his face and was kneeled on the ground by two embroidered soldiers.

Those who were pinned to the ground with him were Shandong governor Cao Xiangyun and Shandong Censor Li Song, who were also despised.

But compared to Luo Shikuan's despair and despair, Cao Xiangyun and Li Song did not accept their fate so much...

"Lin Xiang, even if you are the prime minister and hold the scepter of the emperor, you cannot take down the official hat of the third-rank official without an order!"

"That's right, we are the third-ranked officials of the imperial court. How dare Lin Xiang treat each other like this?"

Lin Ruhai ignored it, just lowered his eyes and sat indifferently on the governor's seat, as if waiting for something.

Luo Shikuan seemed to be unwilling to give up and looked up and said, "Lin Xiang, the White Lotus demon, burned the Holy Mansion and slaughtered the saints and the Miao people. We are incompetent in governing the people and have committed malpractice. We have reported this matter to the court. How the court will judge me? We have admitted it! Even if it is a death sentence, we will never give up. Since we started the imperial examination, we have read the books of sages, silently sages, and practice the rituals of sages! Today, under our rule, the White Lotus demon will do such a career of destroying ancestors. We will have no face to survive! I just hope that Lin Xiang can tolerate me for a few days. When Zhang Liang brought up the Shandong camp and slaughter the White Lotus demon, we will kill ourselves before the Confucian Temple. If we violate this statement, it is better to pigs and dogs!"

After being an official for so many years, such scenes are basically just open-minded.

Moreover, Luo Shikuan has already thought about it. If there were no misery in Qufu, he would still be able to find a way to make a comeback and find a way to survive.

Even, he can still maintain his official position!

But he had no reason to survive when the Qufu tragedy came out. Even if he wanted to survive, even if the court could tolerate him, scholars in the world would not be spared.

His nephew who was the Grand Secretary of Military Machinery could not spare him either!

It’s time to see if we can atone for the merits and only one person will be killed, or multiple sins will be punished and the family will be confiscated and the clan will be destroyed!

Luo Shikuan did not want to be a sinner of the clan because he was afraid that after death, he would be despised by the ancestors of the Luo family and become a lonely ghost.

However, Lin Ruhai still did not respond to Luo Shikuan's words.

Time passed by little by little. About two quarters of an hour later, more than ten embroidered guards hurriedly came out of the backyard and said to Lin Ruhai in horror: "Zhao Ye Lin, we found a letter of collusion between Luo Shikuan and the White Lotus Sect in the study of the governor's back house. Please check it out!"

Lin Ruhai finally raised his eyes, looked at the emperor's personal army in front of him, frowned and said, "What are you talking about nonsense? Luo Shikuan is a provincial governor and a chief official in the border area. It is too late to wipe out the White Lotus Sect. How could he collude with the White Lotus Sect? The truth is to ask you to flip the account books..."

The Embroidered Vehicles and Baihun bowed and said, "Secretary Lin, I have found the account book. Remember the whereabouts of Shandong's disaster relief grain. However, I also ask you to check out these letters..."

Luo Shikuan, who was already confused, suddenly screamed: "Ah! You framed me! You framed me!!"

Where are these letters?

This is the butcher knife raised toward the neck of the nine clans of the Luo family!!

Even more, the stinky feces that have left him with all his lasting years!!

"Lin Ruhai! Lin Ruhai! Why don't I worry about you? You are so vicious. You want to kill my nine clans of Luo!"

Luo Shikuan struggled desperately like crazy, trying to fight Lin Ruhai.

How could he let go if the two embroidered soldiers who were just escorting him?

Luo Shikuan was pressed to the ground tightly, but even so, he struggled desperately, shouted and begged...

Cao Xiangyun and Li Song were probably sad because of the death of rabbits. The two shook their heads repeatedly and said, "This is fake, it is impossible! It is impossible!"

Lin Ruhai frowned and looked at Luo Shikuan for a moment, then looked at the head of the embroidered guard Baihu, and said in a deep voice: "Wang Ada, are you deliberately framed?"

Lin Ruhai went south, and in addition to the servants and servants, there were also 400 imperial guards and 200 embroidered guards.

Wang Ada is the 100 households of these two hundred embroidered guards.

The Embroidered Guard is the personal army of the emperor. Even Lin Ruhai never thought about any connection with them, so he asked this question.

Wang Ada replied, "Secretary Lin, these letters were found from the secret compartment of Luo Shikuan's study, and many people were watching it at that time."

Others nodded and said yes.

Lin Ruhai took one of them, opened it and looked at it briefly, his face turned pale and said angrily: "What a despicable villain! You are worthy of reading the books of sages and practicing sages? You have a great province of boundaries and have secretly communicated with the White Lotus Demon Thief to cover up your activities of dividing Shandong's disaster relief food? Do you know that you did this to raise a tiger. You thought you could use them with a smart and could not wait for death and burn the Holy Mansion! Luo Shikuan, you are the eternal sinner of my Dayan!! The person who came, took these three thieves to the prison, collected the evidence of their crimes, and prepared to escort them back to Beijing to ask for guilt!"

The embroidered guards put the three of them in prison amid the roaring, cursing and crying of Luo Shikuan.

After Lin Ruhai cursed "Shiwen swept the floor", he coughed twice and said to Wang Adao: "Wang Baihu, I ordered you to bring 200 embroidered guards, and 200 imperial guards to go to Qufu immediately to block the Holy Mansion, Confucian Temple and Confucius Forest, no one is allowed to enter without permission!"

When Wang Ada heard this, he couldn't help but say wonderingly: "Prince, why don't you go to worship the Supreme Saint Master first?"

Lin Ruhai said in a deep voice: "I will lead the army to personally lead the army to support Shandong camp and calm down the White Lotus demon! If the White Lotus is not removed for a day, there will be no peace in Shandong!"

...

Shenjing Imperial City, Daming Palace.

Inside the Hall of Care.

Emperor Longan looked at Li Xuan kneeling on the ground, then looked at the dozen boxes of property piled up in the hall, and a thick stack of silver notes on the imperial desk. His face was neither happy nor angry, and his eyes were deep.

Queen Yin also looked around, looked at Emperor Long'an and asked Li Xuan: "This afternoon, there was a rumor that the Ningguo Mansion was circulated in the palace, and there was a lot of rumor outside. Some people said that they saw the transfer of property from Ning'an with their own eyes, and that was all these?"

Li Xuan smiled and said with a grudge: "Those who said to my mother's mother were just like this, but it was not a house search, but it was a borrowed by my son-in-law. No, it wasn't a borrowed by Jia Qiang. I didn't ask Jia Qiang. The son-in-law he asked him to borrowed, and the son-in-law borrowed it by Ziyu's cousin. In addition, the 200,000 taels of silver notes on the father's imperial case were borrowed by Jia Qiang from the daughter of Xiangye Lin. There were some that were taken together by me. In short, I had made up all the money and finally got enough money for one million taels... I saw that my father and mother were so worried that I couldn't even sleep in order to help Shandong in the past two days, so I thought of this method. Although it was not earned by me, it was a bit ugly, but it was better than not? Is my son-in-law not good enough to do my best, and I might do my best to do my best..."

Queen Yin was moved to the point of being very moved when she heard this. She didn't expect that Emperor Long'an's expression would still not change. She looked at Li Xuan with her eyes scrutinized and said, "You have tried your best to help Jia Qiang!"

Li Xuan's expression froze when he heard this, he wanted to jump to his feet to defend himself, but under the deep gaze of Emperor Long'an, he smiled dryly and said, "Father, I dare not lie in front of you, and it is useless to say it. This time, I did have the intention to help Jia Qiang, but it was mainly to give my father a little worry. As I said, although I was not a good person, I was also the father and the prince of my mother... If I were to help Jia Qiang, I would let him directly give the silver to my father. But that stupid and stupid thing always doesn't listen to me. My son had advised him not to be reckless and impulsive before, but now it's good... Now I advised him to donate all his family wealth, so that he could calm his father out sooner, and come out sooner, right? He still didn't listen and just borrowed it. This confused seed, my father and my son had no choice."

After hearing this, Empress Yin smiled at Emperor Long'an and said, "It can be seen that it is enough for the old and the young, so she has to be the older brother. On weekdays, everyone who sees Wu'er and his brothers will have to teach him a few words, but now they can teach others."

Emperor Longan snorted, but reminded: "After all, there is a difference between the king and the minister, don't go too far! Although you are not the king, you are a prince and have a noble position."

Li Xuan hurriedly said, "Father, my son is not from the Jia family, but from the Yin family."

From the Jia family, it is a pure difference between the king and the subject.

But from the Yin family, there is something to say.

Yin Ziyu is the niece of Queen Yin and Li Xuan's blood cousin, so Jia Qiang is Li Xuan's cousin.

This relative is no longer far.

Emperor Long'an glared at Li Xuan angrily, and finally looked at the silver notes on the imperial desk, and hesitated: "It's better if you are next to him, Jia Qiang's silver can be used barely, but Lin Aiqing's silver..."

Li Xuan whispered: "Father, now it's said that Lin Xiang is a mediocre person. As the prime minister, after going to Shandong, let alone doing errands, people were imprisoned, and the court's face was thrown away..."

Emperor Long'an's face turned dark when he heard this, and wanted to get angry, but he didn't know what he thought of. He narrowed his eyes and asked after a while, "What do you think?"

Li Xuan hurriedly said loudly, "Father, of course those words are nonsense! Since Luo Shikuan and his group have done such a tyrant, even Zhang Liang, the admiral of the Shandong camp, dragged them down. Shandong civil and military officials have become corrupt officials who should be killed ten thousand times. Even if Lin Xiang is Sun Xingzhe becomes, it is very rare to be able to protect himself if he goes. Whoever is not convinced? Let them take hundreds of people to Shandong now to try it to see what they can do! It would be great if they can survive!"

When Emperor Long'an heard this, his expression calmed down, he smiled and said, "It's not bad. What the masters in the study room taught me, I didn't forget the light. Okay, you don't have to test it anymore. I naturally always trust Lin Ruhai. His temperament is much gentler than Han Bin, Li Han, Dou Xian and others. In him, he can see gentleness and respect, and his methods are also the spring breeze and rain. Of course, when he should use the thunder strike, he will never be rude. He may be in danger in Shandong, but I believe that with his ability and means, he will never be unable to protect himself. The reason why he cannot bear to collect this money is because he is in danger now and is working hard for state affairs. I am in Beijing, but it is not appropriate to use his money."

Li Xuan smiled and said, "Father, don't worry, this 200,000 taels of silver was originally lent to Jia Qiang by Lin Xiang's daughter. Jia Qiang has not yet paid back, so it is lent to the court. When the court has money, it will be returned to Jia Qiang, and Jia Qiang will finally return it to the Lin family. Moreover, the son minister thought that the father did not want to use the silver from Jing Chaoyun and the others, but with the father and the monarch and ministers like Lin Xiang, they must be willing to use it. Just like the son minister, he never asks others to borrow silver, but if the son minister is missing 500 taels of silver, please ask Jia Qiang to borrow 1,000 taels!"

Emperor Long'an laughed and cursed, and his mood improved significantly. After Dai Quan put the silver notes away, he looked at Li Xuan's eyes and hesitated for a moment, but shook his head and said, "You can't let Jia Qiang come out now. I've been imprisoned for only two or three days. It's not like, how can I explain to the officials and workers in the world? Wait a little longer and see what good news can be heard from Shandong. Duke Zhao has sent people to rush to Shandong Daying, settle the Shandong Daying, and quell the Bailian Rebellion, and convict the Luo family, and Jia Qiang can come out."

"Ah? It's going to be so long?"

Li Xuan was not willing to say that there were still many things waiting for Jia Qiang to make a decision outside.

When Emperor Long'an heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "This guy is brave and decisive. If he doesn't sharpen his sharpness, something will happen sooner or later. Well, I know this, let's kneel down!"

Li Xuan sighed, knelt down and left dejectedly.

But he didn't know that at this moment, two cavalrymen were rushing from Shandong to the capital at a speed of 800 miles.

Shandong is only 400 kilometers away from Shenjing. At a speed of 60 kilometers per hour, and the horse-changing stations along the way of Northern Zhili, at most, news from Shandong can be sent to the capital at dawn...
