Chapter 379: Beauty Trap! ?
Lin Zhiqing did not disturb them and let them think.
After a long while, Lin Yangyang spoke again:
"I was just wondering what good it would be for them to do this."
"I can understand the situation of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion. After all, if Jiang Liuyun were to take another life, it would damage the reputation of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion."
"Furthermore, it will also have an impact on Jiang Liuyun's career."
"But what about the Ministry of Justice's Mansion?"
Lin Yangyang only had a vague understanding of the affairs of the Minister of Justice's Mansion. Lin Shian and Yan Yu also looked at Lin Zhiqing.
Lin Zhiqing took a sip of water and spoke again:
"The Minister of Justice is also very concerned about his reputation and career. Think about it, as far as we know, the Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion has two handles on the Minister of Justice."
"Two? Apart from the incident of Li Jinzhi abducting women on the border, is there anything else I don't know?" Lin Yangyang asked.
Lin Shian shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
Yan Wu shrugged: "I came later than you, so I don't know."
"The Minister of Justice previously agreed to release Zhi Niang, a wanted criminal of the imperial court. This was actually a handle." Lin Zhiqing said:
"Although this handle has been resolved, if it is brought up again, it will not be good for the Ministry of Justice and the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion."
"In this case, they both made a substitution."
"The Zhenyuan Marquis' Mansion protected Jiang Liuyun and blamed Li Jinzhi's death on the arranged woman."
"The Ministry of Justice chose to preserve Li Jinzhi's last bit of dignity and didn't want his past misdeeds to be exposed."
"These things can be represented by deer and rabbits."
Lin Zhiqing spoke slowly:
"Take the Ministry of Justice's Office as an example. If he holds Jiang Liuyun accountable to the end, that's fine, but Li Jinzhi's affairs can't be concealed either."
"This is a destruction of existing interests, and the loss outweighs the gain."
Yan Yu listened with great interest:
"So, this stag hunt is their inevitable choice?"
"No, this is just one of their choices, and it is also the one with the greatest benefits." Lin Zhiqing replied.
"I seem to understand the game theory you mentioned." Yan Yu was rarely so serious.
Lin Shian also spoke up: "Zhiqing, before, I only knew that you were good at the study of the mind, but now this game theory is even more refreshing."
"Where did you acquire so much knowledge? I am ashamed of myself!"
"I've been doing nothing lately, so I've been thinking about it a bit. I also remembered some of the things my parents mentioned earlier, so I thought about game theory." Lin Zhiqing replied calmly:
"People always need to make progress. Jiang Liuyun and the others already have a certain level of defensive awareness against the School of Insight."
Lin Yangyang looked envious:
"Sister Qing, can you give me half of your brain? I only have a vague understanding of mind-testing and game theory. I'm far inferior to you."
Just as Lin Zhiqing was about to speak, Yan Wu came out to disrupt the situation:
"If I study hard, I will definitely be able to master these things."
"You?" Lin Yangyang laughed unceremoniously:
"Butterfly, you should learn how to dress. Not everyone can compare to my sister Qing."
"I really don't know what benefits Lin Zhiqing gave you to make you admire her so much." Yan Yu rolled his eyes.
"This is personal charm, you can't learn it." Lin Zhiqing made a rare joke:
"Alright, alright, let's continue with the story of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion. The Ministry of Revenue previously discovered that some of the mansion's belongings were scattered around. What's the follow-up?"
Lin Zhiqing looked at Lin Shian.
Lin Shian had been paying attention to this matter and quickly answered:
"The previous incident was covered up by the Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion using the excuse that a servant had stolen it, but I think the Ministry of Revenue doesn't want to let it go."
"Lu Huai has been investigating the people in the Ministry of War these days. This matter should be related to the Ministry of War."
"Marquis Zhenyuan was too busy to handle this matter in the court, so he allowed Jiang Liuyun to get close to Li Jinzhi."
"In other words, Jiang Yunhe is too busy to deal with us for the time being?" Lin Zhiqing hit the nail on the head.
"Not bad." Lin Shian nodded.
"Wait, wait!" Lin Yangyang interrupted their conversation:
"I heard earlier that among the things scattered outside the Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion was the engagement token sent by my second uncle. Since the engagement has been cancelled, can't the things be taken back?"
Lin Zhiqing himself felt that this token was dispensable, so he didn't care much about it.
Lin Shian patted Lin Yangyang on the shoulder and said, "Sister, don't worry. I have been following this matter closely."
"Those things are in the hands of the Ministry of Revenue as evidence. I will get them back if I get a chance."
Lin Yangyang was relieved: "Okay, then you guys continue."
My cousin’s train of thought is really... Lin Zhiqing doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Yan Wu started to ask about the business:
"You said before that you wanted to pull the people from the Three Courts towards the Lin family before the retrial to eliminate the possibility of them favoring the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion."
"Now that the Minister of Justice has been dealt with, who's next?"
Lin Zhiqing nodded: "Zhou Chongzheng, the Minister of Justice, I have figured out a way to deal with this."
"Mrs. Zhou Chongzheng's younger brother, Ling Shuo, suffers from a serious illness called peach blossom epilepsy."
"I went to treat him twice before, and he insisted that I loved him."
"No, this guy is too confident, isn't he?" Lin Yangyang said with a look of disgust:
"But then again, what is peach blossom epilepsy?"
Lin Zhiqing explained it again.
After listening to this, Lin Yangyang glanced at Yan Yu and said, "Why do I feel like you have this problem too? Otherwise, why do you dress so extravagantly all day long?"
"Yes, I also have peach blossom epilepsy." Yan Yu moved closer to Lin Yangyang:
"You don't like me, do you? You keep finding excuses to talk to me, obviously just to get my attention."
"Even if I, Lin Yangyang, were to jump out of the outside world in this life, I would never like a playboy like you." Lin Yangyang rolled her eyes.
"Sister, stop making trouble, both of you. Listen carefully to what Zhiqing has to say." Lin Shian felt helpless.
"Nothing." Lin Zhiqing said:
"One of us must approach Ling Shuo first and make him rely on him successfully!"
Yan Wu suddenly felt a chill on his back. He touched his nose and asked:
"Does this peach blossom frenzy have gender differences?"
Lin Zhiqing curled his lips:
"It doesn't really matter whether it's a boy or a girl. Yan Wu, you're naturally beautiful. If you dress up a little, maybe even my cousin and I won't be able to surpass you."
"Of course, how can you compare with me..." Yan Wu said halfway, and suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked at Lin Zhiqing with a vigilant face:
"What do you want to do? I emphasize again, I sell my art, not my body!"
"How could I let you sell yourself? All I need is for you to make a small sacrifice." Lin Zhiqing's smile was very creepy in Yan Yu's eyes.
He swallowed hard, "You don't want me to seduce that Ling Shuo, do you?"
