Chapter 52 You've Changed
Lin Qingping also presented an account book on the spot, "Your Majesty, this is what Lin Xiaoqi, oh no, Lin Baihu gave me. It is the evidence of Tong County Magistrate Cheng Fa's corruption."
This account book was exactly what Lin Qianqian stole from the county government office when bandits broke into the office at night in the chaotic situation.
Emperor Yan flipped through it casually and became so angry that his face turned blue.
This damn county magistrate must be beheaded. He can embezzle more than 10,000 taels in such a poor Tong County. If he were in the wealthy Jiangnan area, he would have embezzled hundreds of thousands of taels!
"Prime Minister Wang, I remember that Cheng Fa, the magistrate of Tong County, was once your disciple."
Prime Minister Wang lowered his head and said, "It was my fault for failing to supervise. I am guilty."
But in fact, he is just a disciple, and Prime Minister Wang does not really need to share the blame.
Prime Minister Wang thought he could finally leave court, but Lin Qingping wouldn't stop and was addicted to showing off.
Lin Qingping's eyes sparkled. "Your Majesty, the bandit leader Zhu Dali has been able to run rampant in Guanxi Mountain for several years. He must have extraordinary abilities. He relies on his natural strength and uses a meteor hammer weighing more than 100 kilograms. Your Majesty, would you like to see it?"
Not to mention the Emperor of Yan, even all the civil and military officials in the hall became interested after hearing this.
Speaking of the bandits in the Guanxi Mountain area, they have actually been well-known in the court for a long time.
Every year, Wu County reported major incidents of banditry and evildoing. The imperial court sent troops several times, but all returned empty-handed.
Therefore, this group of bandits caused the imperial court a lot of headaches.
The ministers not only wanted to see the bandit leader's weapons, but also wanted to see what he looked like. Was he the legendary three-headed, six-armed man?
Emperor Yan's face was full of expectation: "Okay, order someone to present it to my civil and military officials for their understanding."
The meteor hammer was carried into the hall by four soldiers.
Just by looking at its hedgehog-like appearance, you can tell that this ball must be very lethal.
It is really unexpected that Lin Xiaoqi could make all the soldiers retreat unscathed when facing such a weapon.
Although the ministers were unable to witness the bandit suppression campaign with their own eyes, they could guess that it must have been a grand and spectacular event.
Emperor Yan was addicted to acting. He pointed at Lin Qingyun, the eldest brother of the Lin family, who was pretending to be a coward, and said, "Go and try to see if you can lift this meteor hammer. If you can, I will let you return to your post."
If he was reinstated, he could return to his original position as the Minister of Personnel. Lin Qingyun was eager to try and actually went to give it a try.
As a result, in the cold weather, he was sweating profusely, but he was unable to shake the meteor hammer at all.
When faced with the meteor hammer, the biological daughter not only escaped unscathed, but also captured the person who wielded the meteor hammer alive. However, the biological father was completely useless.
The contrast is too great.
Prime Minister Wang felt a little regretful for finding such a useless son-in-law.
The morning court finally ended, and Prime Minister Wang returned home with a gloomy face.
His subordinate Li Kui reported: "Prime Minister, the people we sent out didn't find an opportunity to take action."
Prime Minister Wang waved his hand and said, "Forget it. If we really start fighting, we might just be sending away our heads for nothing. If we send away too many heads, we won't just be promoted to a hundred households. We'll be promoted to a thousand households before we even reach the border."
But Prime Minister Wang still has a big trick up his sleeve.
During the three years when Guanjun Hou was stupid, the border marshal had been replaced by his son-in-law.
When that girl reaches the border, she will suffer.
When the second son Lin Qingping returned to the small house, Liu saw that her husband was safe and sound, and she finally let go of her worry.
I heard before that my husband was going to suppress bandits, and they were very powerful bandits, bandits that the imperial court had sent people to eliminate many times but failed.
Although she knew it was very dangerous, the Jiang family and her niece had done her husband a favor and she had to repay them, so she let her husband go anyway.
But I was so worried that I couldn't sleep at night these past few days.
Now it's okay, the person is finally back.
"Madam, not only am I unharmed, but I have also been promoted. I am now the head of the Five Cities Military Department."
Liu cried with joy.
"well."
Lin Qingping: "It's all thanks to my niece. When I arrived there with the soldiers, the bandits were already tied up. I just had to take them back. I got such a great achievement for nothing."
Liu said to her son Ping'an: "You must remember that Sister Qianqian is your biological sister. When Sister Qianqian returns to the capital, you must be respectful to her."
"Yes, mother." Lin Ping'an was only eight years old, but he already knew how to salute.
Lin Qingping was exhausted and had just taken a shower and had no time to rest when someone came to the Lin Mansion.
"Second Master, the old lady in the mansion said she missed you and asked you to go over."
In fact, Lin Qingping was not liked by the old lady in the past. The old lady only had eyes for the eldest son, Lin Qingyun.
But now the second brother has been promoted and the eldest brother has been demoted.
The old lady was much more friendly to the second child than before.
As soon as they met, he started asking the second brother about his well-being.
The eldest brother Lin Qingping sat aside, feeling very sad.
These concerns originally belonged only to him.
"Mother, my second brother is now a big shot in the eyes of His Majesty and is very busy. We should not waste his time."
The old lady didn't hear the sarcasm in these words, she just said: "Yes, yes, yes, the second son has made it big now, so of course he is busy. Second son, you go and get busy first, and come back to see me more often when you have time. I miss you every day in my heart."
"good."
After Lin Qingping left the old lady's courtyard, he was stopped by the eldest brother, Lin Qingyun.
Lin Qingyun was very jealous.
He was demoted, but the second brother got promoted and became rich. God is so unfair!
"Second brother, Qianqian that girl caused me to be like this, causing me to be demoted by His Majesty, and you actually took people to Tong County to help her suppress bandits and helped her get promoted twice! Are you still my real brother?"
Lin Qingping felt sad as he looked at his brother with a distorted face.
In the past, when my brother had just passed the imperial examination and became a top scholar, he was very proud and had aspired to be a good official who worked diligently and loved the people.
But I don’t know when my brother changed and became so hateful.
Was it money that corrupted his heart? Or was it lust that blinded his mind?
"Brother, you have changed. I still respect you by calling you brother. To be honest, what you did is really unacceptable."
"Brother, believe it or not, this time I didn't help Qianqian, but Qianqian helped me. It wasn't because of me that she got promoted, but because I was lucky. I got promoted because of her. Even her bodyguard Ada got promoted..."
"Brother, this time the bandit suppression was all thanks to Qianqian. The people over there think of her as a living Buddha. If I were you, it might not be too late to turn back now."
The second oldest brother, Lin Qingping, knew that it was difficult to persuade a damned ghost with kind words, but he still couldn't help but want to persuade his only brother to turn back.
The two brothers were arguing so loudly that Mother Sun could hear it clearly from behind a rockery in the distance.
Oh my goodness, this is amazing.
Hearing what the second master said, Miss Qianqian actually became an official.
I never thought that women could become officials in the Dayan Dynasty!
It really brings honor to women!
This incident completely overturned Mother Sun’s cognition.
