Slacking Off and Gossiping: The Court Officials Are Not Amused

Jiang Yueyang, a 21st-century office worker, died from a cerebral infarction after working overtime and staying up late. In her dying moments, she bound to a 'Gossip System'.

She then...

Chapter 31: The Lin Family is Destroyed

Emperor Yuan did not immediately agree, but said: "My dear, I cannot order an investigation into the family of the minister of humerus based on your words alone. You must produce evidence."

【Little melon? 】

[Host, the evidence is in the dungeon privately built by the Lin Mansion. In fact, the real ruthless person is Minister Lin.

He had a habit of whipping people when he was in a bad mood, especially young men with good looks.

At this time, there were many people imprisoned in the dungeon of the Lin Mansion. Among those people, there were refugees from the famine in Xizhou, young performers from the South Courtyard, and slaves who had signed indentures... It is said that if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked, and Miss Lin II completely inherited his inhumanity. 】

Everyone was shocked. What did they just hear?

Minister Lin secretly built a dungeon, imprisoned young masters and whipped them to death?

They simply couldn't believe that Minister Lin would be that kind of person.

But now thinking back carefully, Minister Lin seemed to be more considerate of those good-looking new officials.

A certain young official who had received special care suddenly felt a chill. No wonder he always felt that Minister Lin looked at him strangely.

"Your Majesty, I..." Minister Lin tried to argue.

"I am tired. We can discuss this matter later. My dear ministers, please leave."

All the civil and military officials quickly withdrew, and before Jiang Yueyang could react, she was pulled out by her father at a quick pace.

Only the Crown Prince, the Third Prince, the Fifth Prince, the left and right prime ministers, and Minister Lin and his son were left in the hall.

Jiang Yueyang looked back and saw that the door of the Hall of Supreme Harmony had been closed.

She asked in confusion: [Xiaogua, what happened just now? Why did His Majesty suddenly announce the end of the court? ]

【I didn’t pay attention.】

Jiang Yueyang felt strange, but did not ask further questions. Instead, she asked curiously: [Minister Lin is... a gay? ]

[No, he is purely psychologically twisted. Gay is another person, does the host want to know? ]

Jiang Yueyang shook her head desperately, [The melon is too big, let me slow down. By the way, why are all the officials in Daxia people so corrupt? Either they like to wear women's clothes or they are mentally twisted. Oh my god, I can't stay in this court for even a day. ]

The man who loves to wear women's clothes is on leave at home today. His wife is burning his hidden clothes one by one, and warns him that she will divorce him if he doesn't change this habit.

[No! Since the host came out, my energy has skyrocketed and is about to break through level 2. It's a pity that big melons like Minister Lin and Lord Wu can only be eaten one a day. ]

【Why? 】

[There is no reason, the program is set like this. ]

Jiang Yueyang didn't hesitate and asked: [What changes will you experience after the upgrade? ]

[There is no change at level 2. After level 3, the mall will be opened and the host can purchase goods on it. ]

Jiang Yueyang raised her eyebrows slightly, as expected, the system must have a mall.

[What do I use to buy it? Silver? Points? But I don’t have any points. ]

[Silver, jade, jewelry, etc. are all acceptable. The mall will automatically discount them to the amount. ]

Jiang Yueyang chatted with the system as they walked towards the palace gate. At this moment, in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Lin family father and son knelt on the floor with a bang.

"Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation. The situation is not as Minister Jiang's daughter said. Those people are crazy. They tried to assassinate me, so I arrested them and tortured them severely."

"Crazy?" Emperor Yuan grabbed the teacup beside him and smashed it down, "Do you think I'm a fool?"

Minister Lin's forehead was broken, but he ignored it and kowtowed heavily, saying, "What I said is all true. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can bring the person here for questioning."

Prince Yuan Ye: "Minister Lin dared to do such a thing, he should have thought of a way to escape after the truth was revealed, right? Those people probably won't identify you."

"Your Highness, are you trying to accuse me of something?"

The prince smiled, "Minister Lin, Jiang Yueyang's words are not wrong. It's useless for you to quibble. Why do I need to accuse you of a crime?"

"How do you know, Your Highness, that Minister Jiang's daughter was not instigated by someone to deliberately frame me? I have worked diligently and devotedly for Daxia over the years. Isn't there a young girl who is trustworthy?"

"Minister Lin is such a smooth talker, it would be a shame if he didn't become an imperial censor." The third prince said sarcastically.

"What I said is true!"

The fifth prince couldn't listen any longer, so he said directly: "Father, he refuses to admit his guilt, why don't you just do as Minister Jiang's daughter said and be a tyrant for once?"

Emperor Yuan considered it seriously and felt that it was not impossible.

If he wanted to clean up the court, there would be no end to the killing. Besides, Minister Lin deserved it.

"Minister Lin secretly built a dungeon and killed innocent people. He will be executed in three days. His family will be exiled three thousand miles away, and the next three generations will not be allowed to enter the capital."

Lord Lin collapsed to the ground after hearing the verdict.

Minister Lin was not convinced, "Your Majesty, I am innocent! Aren't you afraid of being condemned in history books for doing this?"

Emperor Yuan looked at him coldly, "How the historians record is their business. As for how future generations will comment on it, it doesn't matter if I can't hear it!"

"Privately building a dungeon is already a serious crime, and you still have the nerve to say that you are innocent!" The fifth prince snorted arrogantly.

Emperor Yuan no longer gave Minister Lin any chance to argue. Two imperial guards came in and took the father and son of the Lin family away.

After a while, the commander of the imperial guards brought a team of imperial guards and the imperial edict to the Lin Mansion.

At this moment, the Lin Mansion was peaceful and everyone in the Lin family had no idea that they were about to face a disaster.

By the time they realized something was wrong, it was too late.

The imperial guards surrounded the Lin residence and sentenced Minister Lin to death three days later on the charge of corruption. The Lin family’s property was confiscated and the rest of the family was exiled three thousand miles away.

During the house search, the imperial guards accidentally discovered the Lin family's privately built dungeon, 18 young masters who were imprisoned and dying inside, and a large amount of gold and silver hidden in the dungeon.

Minister Lin's guilt was confirmed. Seeing that the Lin family was doomed and their families would not be in danger, the eighteen young masters all pointed out Minister Lin's crimes.

For this reason, Emperor Yuan did not become a tyrant and was praised by the people.

Emperor Yuan happily hugged the queen and kissed her again and again.

It was already evening when Jiang Yueyang found out about this, and she felt that it was karma.

It’s not that I won’t retaliate, but the time has not come yet.

When other people who had guilty consciences saw what happened to Minister Lin, they all weighed the issue of whether or not to write a letter of apology.

Those who were sentenced to death chose the latter when faced with the choice between themselves and Jiang Yueyang, and hired assassins to kill Jiang Yueyang overnight.

As long as Jiang Yueyang dies, they will be fine!

For this reason, several waves of assassins were lying in ambush near Jiang's residence at that time, waiting to take action after dark.

In a blink of an eye, the hour of Chou has arrived, and the entire Jiang family has fallen into a deep sleep. (01~03)

Several waves of men in black sneaked into the Jiang family and headed towards the Lanyue Pavilion with a clear purpose.

It just happened that they bumped into each other on the way, and started fighting after looking at each other.

As the fight went on, one group of killers realized something was wrong, and after asking a question, they found out that their target was the same.

So, several groups of killers decided to join forces to assassinate Jiang Yueyang.
