Chapter 358: Officialdom is like a battlefield
She closed the brocade box, put it in a corner, and stopped looking at it.
Then, she lay on the bed and began to think again about how to completely split the Minister of Justice and the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.
The best breakthrough point in this matter is undoubtedly the son of the Minister of Justice.
It is not difficult to think of a solution, but the most difficult part is how to implement it.
Lin Zhiqing tossed and turned, thinking about it, and finally came up with some ideas.
When she was playing game with Jiang Yunhe before, she actually used the contents of "Game Theory".
She used to be quite familiar with these things, but she has fallen behind a lot since coming to Dasheng.
The more she came into contact with the various court officials of Dasheng recently, the richer her knowledge of "Game Theory" and "The Art of War" became.
Apart from anything else, there is some truth to the saying that officialdom is like a battlefield.
Lin Zhiqing thought about it carefully and did not start from these two aspects.
Compared with psychology, her grasp of knowledge such as game theory is still in the stage of learning and exploration.
She had other knowledge in her mind.
For example, the Thirty-Six Stratagems.
Wanting to cause a complete break between the Minister of Justice and the Marquis of Zhenyuan's Mansion, isn't that a strategy of sowing discord?
She had actually used it once before when dealing with Jiang Liuyun, but now it still needs to be revised and a more sophisticated plan needs to be made.
Marquis Zhenyuan is cautious, Jiang Liuyun is good at hiding, the Minister of Justice is cunning and treacherous, and the Minister of Justice's son is lustful.
Lin Zhiqing went over the information of these people in his mind and kept thinking.
Lecher...wait! Lin Zhiqing's eyes lit up, she thought of it!
After refining his plan over and over again in his mind, Lin Zhiqing closed his eyes completely and began to recuperate.
Even though she had a plan in mind, she didn't sleep particularly well.
Early the next morning, Lin Zhiqing first went to see Lin Yangyang, and then went to find Yan Yu.
But this guy was elusive and was not in the yard.
Yan Yu is a sensible man, so Lin Zhiqing is not particularly worried about him.
Lin Zhiqing plans to visit the three masters of the Three Departments today.
Previously, she was trapped in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion and was in a state of panic. She had no intention of visiting and getting to know him better.
Now that she has escaped, if she doesn't find out the bottom line of those people, it would be a waste of all their planning.
After careful consideration, she invited Lin Congli and Lin Shi'an to accompany her on the visit.
One of them was senior and had a reputation for self-discipline and adherence to propriety, and was quite appreciated by some conservative officials.
A person with high martial arts skills can prevent some unexpected accidents.
Knowing that Lin Zhiqing was working for the Lin family, Lin Congli and Lin Shian did not refuse.
The three of them rode in the same carriage.
Perhaps because of all the things that have happened recently, everyone's mood is not very high.
Lin Zhiqing looked at Lin Congli, thought about it again and again, and decided to speak:
"Uncle, my cousin's matter..."
But before he could finish his words, he saw Lin Congli shaking his head.
Lin Congli seemed to have known what Lin Zhiqing was going to say, and said:
"On Yangyang's side, I will also try to find a famous doctor, but all this is based on the premise that nothing happens to the Lin family."
"Zhiqing, what you are about to do is a hundred times more difficult. Only after you stabilize the battlefield ahead can we help Yangyang with greater peace of mind."
"What we did was against the will of heaven, and we should pay a price."
"The further we go, the harder this road will become, but the Lin family will always be behind you."
Lin Congli's voice was the same as before, steady and without any fluctuations.
But Lin Zhiqing heard many complicated emotions from it.
She could understand what Lin Congli meant.
Lin Shian also nodded: "Zhiqing, we will all support you, and my sister will support you too."
"No matter what, let's just do it. The situation can't get any worse than it is now, right?"
Yes.
Lin Zhiqing nodded.
She could see clearly that the Lin family was now walking on the edge of a knife. If they were not careful, they would fall into the abyss and be doomed.
There were many people following her, and she had to be prepared for many people to be injured or even die.
Because not everything goes as she expects.
This is the case with Aunt Mu and my cousin.
If she wants to do her best to protect the people she cares about and herself, she must become strong.
It is precisely because the situation is difficult that the words of Lin Congli and Lin Shi'an are even more precious.
Along the way, Lin Zhiqing's mood was very complicated.
However, when she got off the carriage, those emotions turned into hard armor, and she still had many tough battles to fight.
The first place they went to was the Dali Temple, where they had the most frequent dealings.
Zhou Chongzheng, the Minister of the Dali Temple, inherited the fine traditions of the Zhenyuan Marquisate and was particularly good at acting.
At least in the past, Lin Zhiqing really thought he was in a neutral position.
But many things cannot be carefully considered.
For example, when Liu Mang was killed in public, why did the people from the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice act like useless people and not do anything to stop him?
For example, why was it that when the Bianliang flute player first appeared, Zhou Chongzheng was able to quickly receive the news, accurately find Lin Zhiqing, and restrict the freedom of the Lin family?
Also, after his cousin escaped from the imprisonment of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, why did Zhou Chongzheng treat him as a hot potato and make things difficult for him?
With these questions, Lin Zhiqing once again entered the Dali Temple.
Zhou Chongzheng didn't seem to have expected that the Lin family would make such a big fuss to visit him.
"Sir Zhou, please take care of my father's affairs." Lin Zhiqing said very naturally.
Zhou Chongzheng smiled softly, "Miss Lin, you're too kind. We're all acting according to the law, so why would we ask for your help?"
"According to the law is a good thing. I believe that Mr. Zhou is not a despicable person who does things against his conscience." After Lin Zhiqing finished speaking, he looked at Lin Shian:
"Right, cousin?"
She was just bringing up old matters, implying that Zhou Chongzheng had previously made things difficult for Lin Shian and was unwilling to confront the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.
Lin Shian also said: "Zhiqing is absolutely right. You were very fair in my case a few days ago. You repeatedly asked for evidence. An official should be like Lord Zhou."
He deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the word "justice", and Zhou Chongzheng could of course hear that he was being mocked.
However, he had worked hard all the way to the position of Dali Temple Minister, so how could he easily turn his face away just because of a few words?
Zhou Chongzheng smiled and said, "Your father's matter is still a long way off. No one can predict what will happen next. Miss Lin, just wait for the news."
That's not a nice thing to say.
At least Lin Zhiqing knew very well that since Zhou Chongzheng said so, it meant that the follow-up of this matter would not be smooth.
However, asking more would not yield any results, so she simply smiled and said, "Thank you, sir, for sending the flute player back. I will wait for your good news."
Regarding the flute player, Lin Zhiqing was reminding Zhou Chongzheng that she won the flute player back last time, and she could win it again this time.
Zhou Chongzheng's always perfect expression showed a hint of cracking.
He could tell that Lin Zhiqing was challenging him.
