Chapter 201 Lin Family! Not Guilty!
Lin Zhiqing looked back and saw that the Yulin Guard dismounted from his horse at an extremely fast speed and raised the imperial edict high above his head.
He trotted all the way and soon came in front of Zhou Chongzheng and handed the imperial edict to Zhou Chongzheng.
Zhou Chongzheng took the imperial edict, opened it, and his pupils shrank slightly after seeing the contents inside.
At this time, a large crowd of people were already kneeling on the scene.
Before Lin Zhiqing could observe carefully, Zhou Chongzheng directly read out the imperial edict:
"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims:
After investigation, it was found that Lin Congyan was framed by treacherous officials and suffered injustice.
Now, it is generally agreed that Liu Mang confessed his crime. He was driven by personal grudges and set up a scheme to murder his colleagues. His methods were vicious and he disregarded the laws of the country.
His crimes were extremely heinous, and he was to be stripped of all his official positions and titles, his property confiscated, and imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, to be executed by slow slicing on a certain day.
In addition, Lin Congyan's stigma was cleared, his official position and salary were restored, and all punishments were eliminated.
I hope he will live up to my expectations and continue to serve the country with all his loyalty and wisdom.
So ordered! "
As soon as Zhou Chongzheng finished speaking, Lin Congyan clenched his fists and kowtowed several times:
"Your Majesty is wise. I thank you for your grace. Thank you for your grace!"
On the contrary, Liu Mang opened his eyes wide. He wanted to speak, but people from the Dali Temple came forward and blocked his mouth.
"Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is wise!" The crowd shouted.
Lin Shian and Lin Yangyang looked at each other and saw indescribable joy in each other's eyes.
They succeeded!
They successfully rescued Fourth Uncle!
The arrival of this imperial edict made Lu Huai feel relieved.
He looked at Lin Zhiqing first, but found that Lin Zhiqing's eyes followed several officials and eunuch Wang, as if he was not surprised that Lin Congyan would be pardoned.
Lin Zhiqing was indeed not a surprise.
The murderer has already admitted to his crime, and there are so many people around listening. Even if the royal family hates the Lin family so much, they have to adopt a fair and strict attitude.
Old foxes like Zhou Chongzheng and Eunuch Wang didn't say anything before, simply because they knew the royal family's hostility towards the Lin family and didn't want to stand up and be the scapegoat.
Just like at this moment, Zhou Chongzheng handed the imperial edict to Lin Congyan, without any expression on his face, and had a businesslike attitude.
Eunuch Wang warmly helped Lin Congyan up from the ground and said, "Master Lin has always been loyal to his duties. If you hadn't been framed by a villain, why would you have endured this torture?"
"Eunuch Wang, you are too kind." Lin Congyan replied simply. After this disaster, he obviously saw a lot more clearly and didn't want to cooperate with others to do superficial work anymore.
Seeing that Eunuch Wang's face froze for a moment and then returned to normal in an instant, Lin Zhiqing raised his eyebrows.
This time in prison was worth it for my uncle.
At least he was able to stand up straight.
In addition, Eunuch Wang is worthy of being an old man beside the emperor.
He is a real master of face changing.
It was clear that when the Lin family was convicted before, his attitude was very cold, but now he greeted Lin Congyan warmly.
This was not because he had a change of heart, but because he was using the name of greeting Lin Congyan to put all the blame on Liu Mang with specious words, and then removed the royal family from it.
There was a mistake before, it was the Lin family's fault.
If there is a mistake now, it is Liu Mang's fault.
Anyway, the most innocent and cleanest person is the one sitting on the dragon throne.
These thoughts flashed through her mind quickly.
She turned her gaze to Liu Mang with a hint of regret in her eyes.
Psychology is not a simple subject, and very few people can master it proficiently.
Especially in a place like Dasheng.
If such a person puts his mind and abilities on the right path, it will be a blessing for the country and the people.
What a pity, what a pity.
As if he had noticed Lin Zhiqing's gaze, Liu Mang instantly became excited and wanted to speak!
"Woo! Woo!"
Zhou Chongzheng frowned and said, "Come here, take him back to the Dali Temple."
After saying this, he exchanged a glance with Eunuch Wang, nodded, and then led him off the stage.
Seeing this, Lin Zhiqing and others quickly helped Lin Congyan up from the ground.
"Fourth Uncle, are you okay?" Lin Shian's eyes were filled with worry.
"Good, good, very good." Lin Congyan patted Lin Shian's hand, his voice choked with sobs.
"It's good that nothing happened, it's good that nothing happened." Lin Congli's eyes also turned red.
He had witnessed his brother's departure and thought that today would be the same outcome. Who could have imagined that there would be such a sudden turn of events?
"Congyan, today's matter all depends on Zhiqing. She has been running around for you for days and it's really hard work." Lin Congli knew that Lin Congyan had never liked Lin Zhiqing.
He said all this simply to make Lin Congyan remember Lin Zhiqing's kindness.
Lin Yangyang couldn't help but respond, "That's right, Sister Qing put in a lot of effort. If it weren't for her, our Lin family would be finished. Fourth Uncle, you must not repay kindness with enmity."
"Sister!" Lin Shi'an tugged at Lin Yangyang's sleeve, and seeing that Lin Congyan's face was expressionless, he continued:
"Fourth Uncle, you saw everything that happened today. This was all planned by Zhiqing. It was not easy."
How could it be easy to snatch someone from the emperor?
After hearing these words, Lin Congyan looked at Lin Zhiqing with a complicated look in his eyes:
"Zhiqing, thank you very much for what you did today." At the beginning, he did not think that one day he would actually thank Lin Zhiqing.
This niece who he had forgotten since childhood was actually the only one in the Lin family who could stand up at the critical moment.
"I was wrong before. I'm sorry to you and the Lin family." He can now say all this calmly.
Lin Zhiqing nodded and accepted his gratitude and apology calmly.
Lin Zhiqing deserves the thanks.
The apology is what the original owner, who has been ignored and hated since childhood, deserves.
"Fourth Uncle, I just hope you won't forget the agreement we made." She went through such a big circle, but her purpose never changed.
Save the Lin family and then take control of the Lin family!
The others didn't know about this and looked at him with confusion.
But Fourth Uncle immediately thought of the oath the two of them made in the prison by high-fiving each other.
He nodded heavily: "Since I promised you, I will not break my promise."
Then, he looked into the crowd, as if searching for someone.
Lin Congli and others did not notice, but Lu Huai looked at Lin Zhiqing.
Lin Zhiqing sighed slightly in his heart:
"Fourth Aunt has been worried all day because of this matter. Today, the situation is critical. If this fails, I am afraid that she will be upset for nothing. So I decided to let her stay in the mansion."
When mentioning Fourth Aunt, everyone else fell silent as they thought of those things.
Lin Congyan didn't know the inside story.
"That's right, that's right. Although she appears strong on the outside, she is very delicate in mind." There was a hint of affection in Lin Congyan's peach blossom eyes.
After suffering this great disaster, he spent the whole day in prison facing the wall to reflect on his mistakes, and only then did he see clearly who was the one who was loyal to him.
Just as he was feeling a little emotional, his form suddenly became chaotic.
"Ah! Murder!"
In an instant, a scream interrupted the silence. Lin Zhiqing felt something was wrong and quickly looked forward.
Then, her heart sank to the bottom.
