Chapter 231
Liu Jun paused and said: "Du Lin is extremely treacherous. The evidence shows that after Du Lin married the princess, he has been taking bribes by using his status as the consort and the queen's distant relative.
More importantly, his hand has reached Yangzhou. He secretly traded in human beings in Yangzhou and forced women of good families into prostitution. There are many skinny horses in Yangzhou, but many of those skinny horses are forced.
The secret business is more profitable than the open business. It takes several years to train a skinny horse in the open, but a skinny horse in the secret business can often be sold in just one or two years.
And Du Lin profited from it. Judging from the account books, Du Lin has made at least tens of millions of taels of gold from it over the years..."
The somewhat exhausted Yin Zijin suddenly became much more sober, a trace of fear flashed across his bright and watery black eyes, and Yin Zijin asked in a trembling voice: "So much gold, what does Du Lin need so much gold for? Du Lin is a son-in-law, he has no worries about food and drink, and he has a big family and a big business, why does he need so much gold?
Lord Liu, such a large amount of gold is enough to shake the foundation of the country and to sentence Du Lin to death. Why was Du Lin not sentenced to death? ”
The scar on Liu Jun's face made him look even more ferocious, his eyes were cold as if he wanted to kill someone. Liu Jun pondered for a moment and said, "One thousand gold can support an army of 100,000 people for one day. Ten thousand taels of gold, thinking deeply, is really scary...
What's more, the gold only goes in but not out, and no one knows where it goes, as if it disappeared out of thin air. There is someone behind Du Lin, and that person’s power is unfathomable…”
Yin Zijin seemed to have thought of something? She quickly straightened her weak and boneless body, and quickly grabbed Liu Jun's arm with her delicate hands: "Master Liu, quickly, send someone to watch Du Lin. I'm afraid he will commit suicide. Du Lin won't live to see Lingnan..."
Liu Jun said quickly: "Your Majesty has sent people to interrogate Du Lin overnight. Du Lin has been imprisoned and is now being interrogated. Once in prison, there is nothing that cannot be pried open.
Don't worry, girl. Even if Du Lin gets out of the imperial prison, he won't survive because no one wants him to live. Your Majesty's move is just to show your attitude to the poor family headed by the Du family, but what about Du Lin? Your Majesty doesn’t care. All you want is Du Lin’s secret. The ten million taels of gold…”
Before he could finish his words, he heard a muffled "click". The carriage had somehow suddenly driven over a pothole, or had hit a huge rock. In an instant, the car body shook violently, as if it was going to throw the people inside out of the car.
Yin Zijin was already very weak, and was completely unprepared for the sudden shaking. His delicate body trembled, his center of gravity was unstable, and he lost his balance instantly while sitting upright. At this moment, his body, which was as soft as boneless and as light as a feather, involuntarily fell to one side.
In a flash, Liu Jun, who was sitting nearby, was shocked to see that the situation was not good. He hurriedly stretched out his hands and tried to support Yin Zijin who was about to fall. His movements were hasty and eager, but fortunately he finally succeeded in wrapping his arms around Yin Zijin's slender and soft waist, which was as swaying in the wind as a willow. The waist was so slender that Liu Jun could cover it with one hand.
The moment their skin touched, a strange feeling spread throughout the body like an electric current. Liu Jun's heart beat faster and his breathing became rapid. For a moment, an awkward atmosphere filled the carriage.
Liu Jun pushed quickly, without realizing how much strength he used, and Yin Zijin fell heavily onto the couch of the carriage.
Yin Zijin only felt that she was weak all over. Her soft body fell to the side with a bang, like a petal.
Liu Jun's eyes flashed with panic, and the scar on his face wrinkled. He stumbled and said, "I'm sorry, girl. I was too presumptuous. I used too much force."
Liu Jun quickly took out Yin Zijin's veil from his arms and handed it to her: "Young lady, please wear it! You are so beautiful, I am sorry for offending you.
Men and women should not touch each other, and they should be very careful. This is also for the good of girls. I have been in the carriage just now. I know that the girl has many questions to ask me, so I am waiting in the carriage..."
The red marks on Yin Zijin's body were already painful, and now she was hit on the back. She frowned and took a long time to recover. Yin Zijin still had questions to ask Liu Jun, but she didn't want to embarrass Liu Jun, so she quickly put on a veil.
Even with a frown, Yin Zijin still looked stunning. Liu Jun only took a quick glance at her and felt that he had never seen anyone so beautiful. He quickly withdrew his gaze and hurriedly wanted to get off the carriage.
Yin Zijin sat up with a sense of grievance and said in a low and soft voice: "Is it not okay if I wear it? Du Lin is so important, why doesn't Lord Liu interrogate Du Lin himself?"
Liu Jun felt that Yin Zijin's every move and even her voice were charming, so he hurriedly said: "There are many talented people in the imperial prison, and they don't need me. His Majesty has also ordered me to follow the girl and take good care of her. If I have time, I will go and see her..."
…………
Inside the Yin Mansion, Nanny Zhou was seen jogging, anxiously rushing to the Yimei Courtyard. As soon as she entered the Yimei Courtyard, she shouted, "Madam, something bad has happened, Madam, something bad has happened..."
Nanny Zhou was out of breath, and even in winter she was sweating profusely. As soon as she entered the inner room, she knelt in front of Zhang and cried, "Madam, it's bad. The Sixth Miss has offended the Emperor, and His Majesty has ordered that the Miss be locked in a bamboo cage and hung at the gate of the clan residence for seven days.
what to do? lady. The girl is a lady from a noble family, and being hung and humiliated like this, her reputation and chastity are completely ruined. ”
Zhang was originally chatting and joking leisurely with Aunt Liu and Aunt Sun to pass the time. After hearing what Nanny Zhou said, Zhang felt a surge of anger rushing to her head, and her blood boiled instantly.
Her face flushed and she stood up hastily from her seat. However, because she stood up too quickly and her emotions fluctuated violently, Zhang suddenly felt a black screen in front of her eyes and a strong sense of dizziness on her forehead.
Before she could react, she fell backwards as if all her strength had been drained away.
As she fell, Zhang was still cursing: "This damn bitch was born to a bitch! She only knows how to cause trouble for me all day long! Neither of them can make me worry-free! Now, the reputation of the Sixth Miss has been ruined.
But what should I do with my seventh daughter? It would be fine if he didn't care about his own face and reputation, but would he let all the other girls in the Yin Mansion be implicated..."
