Chapter 19: 10,000 taels received
The first time father and daughter met face to face.
Lin Qingyun has fair skin and a thin figure. Although there are a few scratches on his face, it does not affect his appearance and he looks gentle and refined.
Although he is already in his thirties, he looks as young as in his twenties.
Lin Qianqian sighed: This scumbag dad is fair and handsome, no wonder he could attract Wang to become his concubine.
It's a pity that although he looks like a decent person on the outside, his heart is as dark as it can be.
The moment Lin Qingyun saw Lin Qianqian, it was as if he saw Jiang.
So similar.
So even though he had not seen the new daughter yet, he was already certain that this girl was Jiang's biological daughter.
"A girl should just stay at the middle school and learn needlework. It's not nice to go out and hang around every day!"
Lin Qianqian: You almost killed me when I was born. I really want to ask you what qualifications do you have to control me?
"That's better than you, Minister Lin. Now the whole capital knows that you are a homosexual. You have brought shame to the Lin family."
Lin Qingyun is now most afraid of others mentioning his homosexuality. When he gets angry, he raises his hand and wants to slap Lin Qianqian.
Then Lin Qianqian held his hand.
Lin Qianqian deliberately waited at the gate of the mansion today, and when Lin Qingyun came back, she deliberately went to meet him. She wanted to anger Lin Qingyun in order to achieve her goal, which was to use mind reading on Lin Qingyun.
In this brief moment of contact, Lin Qianqian obtained some useful information.
It was not about his biological mother, Jiang, but information about Lin Qingyun's corruption and bribery.
Song He, the magistrate of Peng County, once gave Lin Qingyun a jar of wine. It was a very small jar and not worth much. But the jar did not contain wine, but a 700-year-old ginseng that had taken shape.
It is hard to find a hundred-year-old ginseng, let alone a seven-hundred-year-old ginseng. Even if you have money, you can’t buy it.
In the end, Lin Qingyun sold the ginseng to another place and earned 12,000 taels of silver.
The Ministry of Personnel was responsible for the assessment and promotion of officials, so Lin Qingyun secretly helped Song He get promoted to a Beijing official and facilitated Song He's appointment to the Ministry of Revenue.
The Ministry of Revenue was in charge of the financial power of the Great Yan Dynasty, and working in the Ministry of Revenue was very popular.
Lin Qianqian said what she wanted to say: "Minister Lin, I really hate you."
Lin Qingyun also disliked this biological daughter, "Silly girl, I am your father, show me some respect, and stop saying such treasonous words all the time."
She added, "In fact, you should thank me. If I were a little more cruel, I would have strangled you to death as soon as you were born, instead of letting Aunt Wu throw you away."
Lin Qianqian was so angry that she laughed.
This scumbag dad's train of thought is really unusual.
So you wanted to kill me the moment I was born, but I still have to thank you.
Okay, very good, I will thank you very much.
Anyway, we now have information about Lin Qingyun's corruption case, which can be put to good use.
Lin Qianqian wrote a blackmail letter to Lin Qingyun just like she punished Wang.
Originally, she only wanted to extort 5,000 taels of silver from Lin Qingyun, but now she was angry with Lin Qingyun, so she decided to double the price and extort 10,000 taels of silver.
Of course, the handwriting is different from the last time I wrote to Wang.
The letter extorted 10,000 taels of silver from Lin Qingyun, which was enough to cover the cost of luxurious renovation of the Jiang residence, and there was some left over.
The letter was written on rough toilet paper and was thrown on the left side of the main gate of the Ministry of Personnel. It had the words "Personally Written by Minister Lin" written on it.
When Lin Qingyun saw the contents of the letter, he broke out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, he was the one who picked up the letter. It would have been troublesome if it had been picked up by someone else.
Just when I was feeling lucky that no one was there, I ran into a colleague.
Lord Qian greeted him, "Lord Lin, would you like to go to Wanhua Tower for a drink together today?"
Lin Qingyun quickly hid the letter behind him and said, "Oh, sorry, I have something else to do today, so I won't go."
After Mr. Qian left, Lin Qingyun took out the letter and read it again.
The letter actually described in great detail the fact that he accepted bribes from Song He.
He took the jar of wine that Song He had given him back to the Lin residence and secretly opened it in the basement of the Lin residence by himself. No one else knew about it.
But the person who wrote the letter actually knew what was in the jar and even knew how old the ginseng was.
It is also known that he sold ginseng to the distant city of Jinling, for a total of 10,000 taels of silver.
Who on earth was this person who knew about such a hidden bribery case?
Song He is now in a successful career and should not dig his own grave, so could it be that someone close to Song He was the one who did this?
He knew the inside story and was in dire need of money, so he wrote a threatening letter and demanded 10,000 taels of silver?
This amount was just what he could afford without feeling particularly bad about it.
The silver notes from selling ginseng have not been spent yet and are now hidden in the secret compartment of the study.
Suppose the blackmailer demands 100,000 taels, which is simply not possible to come up with, so you can only give up.
That night, Lin Qingyun did not go out for a drink or go to Wang's room. Instead, he stayed in the study and stayed awake all night.
When it was time to attend the morning court, Lin Qingyun's eyes were dark blue.
Fortunately, after thinking about it all night, he finally made a decision and decided to pay some money to settle the matter.
Minister Zhang has been causing trouble for him everywhere recently. If he is suspected of taking bribes and embezzlement again, his life will definitely become even more difficult.
It’s better to spend money to buy peace of mind.
Lin Qingyun planned to deliver the banknotes himself.
He didn't want any third person to know about this.
After the morning court session, Lin Qingyun went to the dilapidated land temple located one street away from the Ministry of Personnel as specified in the letter. As the blackmailer demanded, he placed five thousand-liang silver notes under the bowl containing the tribute.
After Lin Qingyun put the banknotes down, he hid in the dark and observed for half an hour, but no one came.
But when he got closer to the broken tribute bowl, he was surprised to find that the silver note under the bowl had disappeared.
What the hell is this!
Lin Qingyun left the land temple in a panic.
After Lin Qingyun walked away, Ah Da lifted the cloth covering the tribute table and crawled out from under the table with the silver bills.
"The eldest lady was really good at predicting things. She asked me to hide under the tribute table in advance and wait until Lin Qingyun really left before coming out. The result was exactly like this."
Ada pulled off the black cloth covering his face.
The eldest lady was very thoughtful. She asked him to cover his face with a black cloth and said that if Lin Qingyun found someone hiding under the tribute table, she could just take action and knock Lin Qing unconscious with a single knife.
The silver note was quickly delivered to Lin Qianqian.
Hongdou's face was filled with joy: "Young lady is really amazing. She easily got the money from Wang and Minister Lin."
He also said: "Black-hearted people like Minister Lin and Wang deserve to bleed heavily, but compared to the evil things they have done, this punishment is too simple, it is really too easy for them."
Lin Qianqian looked at the golden ginkgo leaves outside the window.
This ginkgo tree is lush and leafy, and is said to be seven or eight hundred years old.
There is nothing good about the Lin Mansion, but this tree is really good.
"Don't worry, this is just interest. I will make them pay a thousand times more than this in the future."
The scumbag father showed no guilt when facing her.
Then she doesn't have to feel guilty when she takes action.
