The Abandoned Son of a Prince

Zhao Lin transmigrated to the Great Qi Dynasty, a period never before seen in history, becoming the long-lost true young master of the Zhenbei Marquis's family.

Although his predecessor w...

Chapter 404: Breaking the deadlock, human nature

"That guy is really not good enough. Every time he does something, it's earth-shattering."

Li Weibai looked at the intelligence with admiration: "He was able to force officials from three provinces to resign in protest. He really doesn't fear death."

Jingshu asked, "Officials from three provinces are leaving their posts. This is an unprecedented event. How should Zhao Lin deal with it?"

"I don't know." Li Weibai said calmly, "Anyway, I can't think of any other solution except killing Zhao Lin to appease the public anger."

Jingshu was surprised: "Isn't he dead?"

Li Weibai said calmly, "He did it himself. He should have stopped after arresting the people from the three provincial governors' offices, but he kept arresting them. If he doesn't die, who will?"

Jingshu sighed, "What a pity! Zhao Lin's talent is such that if His Highness could utilize it, it would surely be of great help to His Highness."

"Don't worry about him. A dead person means nothing." Li Weibai said, "What did you ask you to do about Zhao Chenhan?"

Jingshu said, "Zhao Chenhan once met with the Crown Prince late at night. I don't know what they talked about, but the Crown Prince suddenly paid special attention to the Northwest Xiong family."

"Oh? It seems that he might have really surrendered to the prince. It's interesting that the father and son surrendered to different people at the same time." Li Weibai smiled.

She suddenly thought of Zhao Lin.

They went to great lengths to find out about Zhao Chenhan's allegiance to the prince, such a secret matter. How did Zhao Lin know about it?

It's a pity that such a talented person is about to die.

"What on earth can Zhao Lin do?"

Li Xingye found Fu Chengwang and asked.

Fu Chengwang sighed, "I've pondered this for a long time, and even searched through history books, but I still haven't found a way to break this impasse. What about you, Brother Li?"

Li Xingye also shook his head: "I don't have any either, that's why I came to ask if you know Zhao Lin's method."

"If Zhao Lin told me, he would tell you. You don't know, and I don't know either." Fu Chengwang said.

"What on earth is this guy plotting?" Li Xingye fumed. "There are countless officials in the three provinces. If they all resign, the chaos they'll cause will be impossible to control. It will be the greatest chaos since the founding of this dynasty. No matter how much Your Majesty favors Zhao Lin, he must be investigated and prosecuted. Otherwise, the three provinces will be in tatters."

Fu Chengwang nodded and said, "I have already told him in the letter, but he still said the same thing, asking us to believe him."

"Forget it, let's wait until the first of December to see what tricks he has up his sleeve." Li Xingye sighed.

Jiujiang Province.

Bai Shiyuan hurriedly found Fu Wenqi.

"How can Lord Zhao break the impasse?" Bai Shiyuan asked.

Fu Wenqi smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know either."

Bai Shiyuan frowned tightly. "When Lord Zhao arrested the Jiujiang Governor's Office, it was Lord Fu and Lord Li who sent you to help him. But even if all the officials in the court came to help, it would be impossible to find so many people. Lord Zhao pushed the situation to this point. What exactly do you want to do?"

Fu Wenqi said, "He has his own plans. Our wisdom is limited. We just have to wait and see the outcome."

Bai Shiyuan was helpless. He returned home and wrote a letter to his family, telling his grandfather Bai Hongbin that he had not yet found out about Zhao Lin's solution.

Mi Moli called Zhao Lin to the Mi Mansion.

"There are a total of 2,152 disciples in the academy. Excluding those who were implicated and arrested in the previous incident, there are still 1,898 left. Even if I give them all to you, it still wouldn't be enough."

Mi Moli said directly, "Officials from three provinces resigning at the same time is unprecedented. It has never happened before and it certainly won't happen again. What are you going to do?"

Zhao Lin smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your support, Mr. Mi. I'll just wait and see what happens."

Mi Moli looked at Zhao Lin, and Zhao Lin looked at him calmly.

"Alright! I'll see how you turn things around."

The time quickly arrived at November 30th.

Qi Ziang came to see Zhao Lin again.

"Master Zhao, tomorrow is the first day of December. Have you come up with a plan?"

Qi Ziang was very anxious.

No wonder so many people cooperate with Zhao Lin.

It's really a good thing to cooperate with him.

What is the purpose of becoming an official?

Isn’t it just about getting rich?

So Qi Ziang didn't want anything to happen to Zhao Lin.

"Everything has been arranged, don't worry." Zhao Lin gave Qi Ziang a reassurance.

Qi Ziang breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What's the arrangement?"

Zhao Lin said mysteriously, "The secret cannot be revealed."

Qi Ziang didn't get a solution from his question, but as long as Zhao Lin could solve it, it would be fine.

After Qi Ziang left, Mi Banxia said, "Sir, is this really effective? People can kill for money, let alone for official positions."

Zhao Lin smiled slightly and said, "If I can kill people, what's the big deal about betrayal?"

December 1st.

This day.

All the officials of the three provinces hung their official seals on the gate of the yamen at the same time and walked out of the yamen.

This is called resigning from office.

They looked at each other and burst into laughter.

"Zhao Lin is too bullying. We have no choice but to resort to this method."

"If you fellow villagers have any questions, please go to Qingyuan Province to find Zhao Lin."

Such words could be heard in front of government offices everywhere.

They were all very pleased with themselves.

Zhao Lin didn't take one or two people seriously, even if they were high-ranking officials like the governor, he would arrest them if he said so.

But what about ten thousand, twenty thousand, one hundred thousand, or two hundred thousand?

Can you, Zhao Lin, not take it seriously?

I'm afraid that within two days, the imperial court will urgently send people to arrest you and then behead you to appease the public anger.

You are far from being able to fight with us!

Jiangyang Prefecture.

Prefect Jiang Liang and his subordinate officials left the government office leisurely.

"Let's go, let's go. We finally have a break, let's go have a drink." Tongzhi Lu Yun shouted.

Just as they were heading to the restaurant.
