The first lord of the poor family

Chapter 354 The tough-talking Minister of Rites

Although I really wanted to leave Lin Hai in the palace to take care of him personally.

But after all, she was the Queen Mother of Daxia, and Lin Hai was an official of the imperial court.

It is no longer appropriate to lie down in the palace.

If you stay in the palace at night, you may immediately attract criticism from the court officials.

"Well, send someone to take me home quickly, right? Otherwise, if there are rumors, it will be very detrimental to you."

Lin Hai agreed.

What happened at the festival could not be covered up at all, and rumors quickly spread.

I heard that the assassins were actually Tibetan and Turkic people.

It made the people in the capital extremely angry.

They all shouted for the imperial court to send troops to kill them all.

Qiaoer burst into tears when she saw Lin Hai being carried back.

"How are you, sir? Who hurt you like this!"

"Don't cry, I'm just a little injured, I just need to rest for a few days." Lin Hai said comfortingly.

The guard carefully placed Lin Hai on the bed before leaving.

Wang Dayong immediately mobilized his guards to closely protect him at the house.

In case there are other fish that slip through the net, they may come to assassinate.

After Lin Ruoxue and Princess Chenxi heard about this, they rushed over to visit Lin Hai immediately.

"These people are really bad. They can't defeat us, Daxia, so they resort to such dirty tricks." Princess Chenxi said bitterly.

“The things involved here are very complicated, so don’t make random guesses.

Wangye and Yuhuashi are working hard to investigate, and I believe things will become clear soon. Lin Hai said.

Because it involves the ministers of the court, if it is not handled well, it will cause turmoil in the court.

You can't tell them everything.

“Then just take good care of yourself and don’t think about anything else.

Dad and Yuhuashi can definitely investigate clearly. Lin Ruoxue said comfortingly.

"We are all here to accompany you. Just tell us what you want to eat and we will have it cooked for you." Princess Chenxi also said.

Lin Ruoxue looked at Princess Chenxi's expression thoughtfully.

I always feel that the relationship between the two of them is extraordinary, something beyond ordinary friendship.

As a woman, I am very sensitive to this kind of thing.

Princess Chenxi has never looked at a man with such eyes.

But there was no evidence for this matter, and she couldn't say it directly.

But there was some worry.

Logically speaking, it is certainly a good thing for Princess Chenxi to have a home.

But with her status, she couldn't marry Lin Hai.

It will be particularly troublesome for two people to be together.

But once this kind of thing is brought out, the friendship between the two people may break down in an instant.

We can only wait until Lin Hai recovers and then ask him for details.

Accompanied by three beauties, Lin Hai didn't even want to investigate the case.

It's better to just lie down like this.

In the meantime, Yuhuashi and Xianer also came to visit.

I discussed the investigation with Yuhuashi.

Lin Hai always felt that the mastermind behind the scenes must have something to do with the prime minister.

With so many people sneaking into the capital, there must be someone to help them.

And this person must be so powerful that he can hide it from everyone's detection.

Only the prime minister and the Minister of War can do this.

The Minister of War has always been in a neutral state, and even tends to Lin Tiangui's side.He would never take a huge risk and do such an outrageous thing.

However, after careful investigation by Yuhuashi, all the evidence pointed to the Minister of Rites and some officials of the Ministry of Rites.

The prime minister and several others actually stayed completely out of the matter, without any evidence.

"Then arrest all the people found and interrogate them carefully!

The sooner this happens, the better. Delaying it for a long time will make them ready to collude in confession!
Even their family members were all captured! Lin Hai said seriously!
Since the family members have been determined to escape, they must have known that the incident would come to light!
They must completely break through their psychological defenses as soon as possible, so that they can have a chance to reveal the person behind them!
"Even if the family escapes, our people will still be watching closely!

All the suspects in the Ministry of Rites have been arrested and interrogated! "

Yuhuashi said.

Lin Hai recovered from his injury for two days and was finally able to resume walking on the ground!

All the arrested officials were imprisoned in Jingzhao Mansion.

Lin Hai was in the dungeon, looking at the former Minister of Rites coldly.

After being arrested, he took all the blame on himself.

He said that those assassins kidnapped his family, and in order to save his family, he helped the assassins enter the hall.

No matter how they interrogate, they will stick to this excuse.

"We are all officials in the same dynasty, and we are giving you a chance. If all the masterminds behind the scenes are revealed, we can consider saving the lives of your family members.

I am not a murderous person to begin with, I just need to find out the mastermind.

I hope you can seize this opportunity and don't become someone else's scapegoat. Lin Hai said coldly.

"Huh, I do things for myself! It was these assassins who arrested my family.

It was in a moment of confusion that I committed such a crime.

Just want a quick death! "

"Really? As far as I know, your family has been doing very well these days.

There was no sign of any threat.

Can you deceive a child by telling such a lie?

The crime you committed is enough to destroy nine tribes, and there is only one choice to save your family.

That is to commit a crime and perform meritorious service, but there is still a glimmer of hope! "

"Whatever you want to say is up to you. Anyway, I won't slander other people." The Minister of Rites turned away, still refusing to explain.

"Well, since you insist on taking the whole family to death. There is no need for me to waste my time on you, so let's follow the punishment of the Nine Clan.

Put all their family members in prison and behead them at the Meridian Gate tomorrow. Lin Hai said lightly.

The Minister of Rites suddenly became anxious after hearing this.

"It doesn't matter if you want to kill me, it won't harm your family. They are all innocent and should not be convicted."

"Humph, you know best whether you should be convicted or not. It's just that your family was indeed somewhat innocent, but they died because of your stupidity.

The Queen Mother has decreed that I will be given full authority to handle this case.

Since you refuse to explain, then go to hell. "

Lin Hai was too lazy to talk nonsense to him.

After the verdict, he turned around and left without even giving him a chance to beg for mercy.

The Minister of Rites shouted loudly: "I want to see the Queen Mother, I want to see the Prime Minister.

My family is innocent and I cannot kill them.

You are avenging a private vendetta. I will sue you in front of the Queen Mother. "

Lin Hai came outside the prison and frowned.

Seeing that the Minister of Rites had been severely tortured, he was almost out of shape.

But still refused to explain.

It seems that they have already discussed it and let him bear all the blame.

Lin Hai threatened his family, but it had no effect.

Lin Hai really couldn't understand what kind of promise was given to him, and he was actually willing to involve the whole family.
