Chapter 301: Conspiracy! Confrontation and division!
At the same time, Lin Zhiqing, Lu Huai and Lin Yangyang were standing in a very secluded corner of the Minister of Justice's Mansion.
Lin Yangyang lowered her voice: "Sister Qing, will Jiang Liuyun really come?"
Lin Zhiqing thought for a moment and said, "If he wants the woman with the mole to live, then he will definitely come."
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a noise at the door of the Minister of Justice's residence.
Jiang Liuyun is here!
He only brought a few people with him, probably because he didn't want to alert the court.
Lin Zhiqing smiled slightly: "The show is about to begin."
At the same time, the Minister of Justice also received the news that Jiang Liuyun had come to visit.
He glanced at the woman with the mole who was tied up, and his expression was not good.
The fugitive who had escaped from prison was back in his hands, which was actually a good thing no matter how you looked at it.
Recently in the imperial court, the Ministry of Revenue has been going crazy for some unknown reason and has been targeting many people.
The Ministry of Justice was also affected, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very dissatisfied with this.
The Minister of Justice was extremely worried.
The matter of Mole Girl was an opportunity for him.
Not only did he cover up the fact that he had deliberately let someone escape, but now that he had found the mole girl, he could also take credit for it again.
If someone gets the news that he was involved in a prison break, it will be hard to say whether he can keep his position.
In general, re-arresting the mole girl is a sure win.
The reason why the Lin family sent people here... He narrowed his eyes slightly and could guess a little.
It was nothing more than trying to curry favor with him and get him to support the retrial of Lin Congrong's case.
It was just a few words, which was not a difficult task for him.
If he doesn't tell, there's nothing the Lin family can do to him unless they still have evidence in their hands.
However, if this happens, Jiang Liuyun will become a trouble.
If he recaptures Zhi Niang or supports the retrial of Lin Congrong's case, he will definitely become enemies with the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.
But compared with the current situation, whether we become enemies or not is a small matter.
After making up his mind, he waved his hand and said, "Just say I'm going to bed..."
Before he finished speaking, someone else came to report: "Sir, Prince Jiang sent a subordinate to deliver a message, saying that he will not return until he sees you tonight."
The Minister of Justice frowned, feeling that if a decision wasn't made tonight, things would be turbulent. So he said, "Take him to the main hall and wait."
Afterwards, he ordered his men to keep a strict watch on the mole girl and went to the main hall.
Jiang Liuyun has been waiting here for a long time.
He stood with his hands behind his back, his back very straight.
After hearing the footsteps of the Minister of Justice, he slowly turned around and said, "My lord, how are you?"
"How are you these days, Prince Jiang?" the Minister of Justice asked in greeting.
Whether it’s good or not, who in the entire Shengjing City doesn’t know?
There was the incident at Zangxianglou, and the matter of Lin Congrong, and Marquis Zhenyuan was not in the capital.
As for Jiang Liuyun, there is really nothing good to say about him.
Jiang Liuyun could tell the attitude of the Minister of Justice from this sentence.
He had a bad feeling, so he said, "Sir, I'm here to look for the mole lady."
"Mother Mole, hasn't Mother Mole escaped from prison?" The Minister of Justice said calmly:
"Oh, by the way, I heard a few days ago that she appeared in Shengjing City."
"What's going on here, Prince Jiang, do you know?"
This is accountability.
We agreed at the beginning that we would let her go and not let her show up in Shengjing City, so that no one could catch her.
Now not only has the person appeared, but the Lin family has also caught him.
Jiang Liuyun frowned: "This matter is my fault, but in the final analysis it is because Lin Zhiqing is too cunning."
"Sir, my wife Zhizhi is right here with you. Why don't you think about why Lin Zhiqing sent her here?"
"Why did she send someone here? I really want to thank you for this." The Minister of Justice did not beat around the bush:
"If you hadn't been at odds with the Lin family, she would have sent him back to your house."
"Sending it to me now is just an attempt to curry favor with me."
"Perhaps, they might have thought that I was on your side and wanted to sow discord between you and me."
"But Prince Jiang knows full well that if you hadn't offered me a favor in return, how could I have cooperated with you in releasing the prisoner? The Ministry of Justice has been stable for decades, so how could it be simultaneously controlled by the Lin family and the Ministry of Revenue?"
"It's always futile to try to sow discord between people you don't even know."
These words were spoken bluntly, clearly showing the position of the Minister of Justice.
Jiang Liuyun frowned. The Minister of Justice was such a hypocritical man.
The reason for breaking off ties with Jiang Liuyun now is also driven by interests.
What's more, based on Jiang Liuyun's understanding of Lin Zhiqing, the matter is definitely not as simple as the Minister of Justice said.
The attitude of the Minister of Justice towards him now further confirmed his guess.
This is Lin Zhiqing’s conspiracy!
No, it's an open conspiracy!
A conspiracy designed specifically for him!
The Minister of Justice was restrained by the Ministry of Revenue in the court.
It is well known to everyone that Lu Huai plays a crucial role in the Ministry of Revenue.
For the Minister of Justice, under such circumstances, the matter of the mole girl is indeed a good opportunity to make amends.
He would either choose to recapture the mole lady or kill her.
No matter which situation it is, Jiang Liuyun does not agree or allow it.
In this case, there is bound to be a conflict between the two.
Then, the position of the Minister of Justice must be different from that of the Zhenyuan Marquisate.
Under the dual pressure from Lu Huai of the Ministry of Revenue and Lin Zhiqing, the Minister of Justice might turn to the side that supports the retrial of Lin Congrong's case.
Even if he did not support and remained neutral, and had no impact on the Lin family, for Jiang Liuyun, it was like losing a helping hand.
Lin Zhiqing never takes action unless there is a reason, but once he takes action, he will definitely not suffer any loss.
The current situation is the most difficult for Jiang Liuyun.
He knew Lin Zhiqing's plan very well, but he had to take the mole girl away.
Taking the mole girl away is equivalent to jumping straight into Lin Zhiqing's trap.
Thinking of this, Jiang Liuyun clenched his fists tightly.
Lin Zhiqing is smarter than he thought. He understands himself and knows everyone's psychology and actions very well.
This time, Lin Zhiqing fell into his trap again. This was an open and fair game.
And he couldn't possibly give up on the mole girl.
Looking up again, Jiang Liuyun's eyes were very firm: "Sir, no matter what, I must take Mole Girl away tonight."
"I heard that your nephew has been looking for a way out. The position of Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of War will be vacant soon. It's a lucrative position."
The Minister of Justice thought that Jiang Liuyun would protect his wife, but he did not expect that Jiang Liuyun would use his official position as an inducement for a woman.
The Minister of War is indeed a lucrative job.
He said it was impossible not to be moved.
But the question now is, why is the position of Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of War vacant?
It was because the Ministry of Revenue had re-investigated the grain and grass that the Minister of War abandoned his car to protect his master and pushed the Left Vice Minister of War to take the blame.
Lu Huai from the Ministry of Revenue pursued the case relentlessly, which made the Minister of Justice, who preferred to play it safe, feel worried.
He weighed the pros and cons and said nothing.
