Chapter 392 No need to thank me between you and me!
The Lin family only has three days.
But these three days belong not only to the Lin family, but also to the Jiang family.
The Lin and Jiang families have different goals.
Only Lin Zhiqing knew that they did not have any evidence that the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion had framed Lin Congrong.
What Yan Yu knew was much less than what the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion had imagined, and even if he knew, it would probably be just a drop in the bucket.
But this is enough to prove that there is something wrong with the Jiang family, but it is not enough to overturn Lin Congrong's verdict.
The Jiang family’s main goal in these three days must be to find Yan Wu.
The Lin family's goal is to collect evidence.
The first trial came too suddenly, and the human and material evidence that the Lin family could produce was almost nothing.
If Lu Huai had not suddenly appeared and said there was a problem with the food, the matter would have ended with the original verdict upheld.
If the Lin family still cannot produce effective evidence to prove that Jiang Yunhe framed Lin Congrong in the second trial.
Then the Lin family will eventually become abandoned again and go to destruction.
Lin Yangyang couldn't help scratching his head: "Evidence, the only direct witness, Zheng Kuo, is dead."
"There is no physical evidence at all."
"It happened so many years ago. Now we are asked to find evidence. How exactly should we find it?"
When this was mentioned, Lin Shian and Lin Zhiqing both fell silent.
Because this is indeed a difficult question.
Lin Zhiqing sighed: "Find Yan Wu first, at least it will prove that there is something wrong with the Jiang family."
"As for evidence...if you reach a dead end, the greatest evidence is the sinner himself."
"Jiang Yunhe? Sister Qing, you don't want to..." Lin Shian hesitated to speak, but finally couldn't help but said:
"If it's the same as last time with Liu Mang, can the problem be solved?"
When this matter was mentioned, Lin Yangyang's eyes lit up:
"Yes, Sister Qing, your Heart-Analysis Skills can make Liu Mang confess his guilt, so can you follow suit and make Jiang Yunhe confess his guilt as well?"
Lin Zhiqing hesitated for a moment and shook his head slightly:
"First, I've used this trick before, and the Jiang family father and son are already prepared."
"Secondly, I was able to hypnotize Liu Mang because I went to his house and got a lot of evidence, which gave me a good understanding of him."
"Only by thoroughly understanding a person's psychological state can one hypnotize them unconsciously and achieve the same effect as Liu Mang."
"But I don't know Jiang Yunhe very well. Without complete certainty, the study of mind analysis is not feasible."
Lin Shian and Lin Yangyang understood what Lin Zhiqing meant, lowered their heads, and began to think of other solutions.
Lin Zhiqing pursed his lips and knocked on the table:
"Although I'm not familiar with Jiang Yunhe, I'm very familiar with Jiang Liuyun."
Lin Shian and Lin Yangyang looked up and looked at Lin Zhiqing in confusion.
Lin Zhiqing has a far-sighted vision:
"My men have been observing and following Jiang Liuyun and have discovered that he particularly likes to go to Cangxianglou."
"Isn't there that mole lady in Cangxianglou?" Lin Yangyang felt very bad when she mentioned this:
"That mole girl must be his old lover."
"Didn't the Minister of Justice have a falling out with the Jiang family? Why don't we go ask the Minister of Justice?"
"No." Lin Zhiqing shook his head:
"This is a sensitive period, and the Jiang family is definitely keeping an eye on us. If we have a close personal relationship with the Minister of Justice, we will lose a supporter if it is exposed."
"What's more, the Minister of Justice is not our ally."
"Even if we ask, he may not be willing to disclose it out of concern for his own safety."
"Besides, I suspect there's still something wrong with the Zangxianglou."
Hearing this, Lin Shian was puzzled: "The incident at Cangxianglou had already become so serious, what other problems could there be?"
"It's because everyone feels that Jiang Liuyun will definitely not cause trouble again after things have gotten this bad." Lin Zhiqing frowned:
“But I always felt like something wasn’t right.”
"This matter requires further investigation. If I can hypnotize Jiang Liuyun, there is indeed hope for this case."
After this discussion, the three of them quickly determined their current goal.
First, find Yan Yu and increase the Lin family’s bargaining chips.
Second, find out what happened between Jiang Liuyun and Cangxianglou, and find an opportunity to hypnotize him.
Lin Zhiqing arranged for Lin Shian to lead people to look for Yan Yu, while she herself planned to go to Zangxianglou again with Lin Yangyang.
Just as she was about to go out, Lu Nanyue came to her door.
She said there was some problem with Jianxintang's account books, so she came to find Lin Zhiqing to take a look.
Lin Zhiqing got into Lu Nanyue's carriage without much thought.
Along the way, Lu Nanyue kept talking about Jianxin Hall and did not mention anything about the Lin Family Hall trial.
Lin Zhiqing saw through it but didn't say anything. After the carriage stopped, he went straight to the study in Jianxin Hall.
Lu Nanyue did not follow in.
Lin Zhiqing knew what was going on. After pushing open the door of the study, he saw Lu Huai's back.
He had not yet changed out of his official uniform, so he must have come directly from the Dali Temple.
Hearing the door open, Lu Huai turned and looked at Lin Zhiqing.
The two looked at each other and didn't speak for a while.
After a long time, Lin Zhiqing closed the door and entered the study.
Lu Huai turned his gaze away from Lin Zhiqing and said:
"I'm sorry, but if anyone finds out that I went to the Lin family, it won't be a good thing for the Lin family."
If we have too frequent dealings with the Lin family now, the credibility of the Ministry of Revenue’s evidence will plummet.
On the surface, because of Lin Congrong's matter, Lu Huai had to avoid suspicion with the Lin family.
Lu Huai was explaining why he asked Lin Zhiqing to come to the study.
Lin Zhiqing understood that from the moment Lu Nanyue came to her house, she knew that the person who really wanted to see her was Lu Huai.
That's why she put down what she was doing and followed him.
"Lu Huai, thank you for your help today." Lin Zhiqing hesitated for a long time before speaking?
Lu Huai's fingertips paused, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Between you and me, there's no need to thank me."
"I know you're worried about the Lin family, so I came to talk to you about the Ministry of Revenue's grain and fodder."
After thinking about it, he explained:
"I heard from my sister that you came to see me a few days ago, but I was busy investigating the Ministry of War and grain matters, so I was not here."
Seeing Lin Zhiqing nod, he smiled:
"Fortunately, my hard work paid off, and I was able to uncover the former Minister of War's embezzlement of grain and fodder."
Hearing this, Lin Zhiqing frowned: "Embezzlement of food and grass? Is it related to my father's matter?"
Lu Huai nodded: "After the army was completely annihilated, the demand for food and fodder has decreased a lot."
"I checked the grain and fodder exchanges between the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War during those years and discovered that the former Vice Minister of War had already begun withdrawing grain and fodder before the army was completely annihilated."
"Was this premeditated?" Lin Zhiqing understood what Lu Huai meant.
Lu Huai nodded, took out a booklet, and waved to Lin Zhiqing:
"You see, this time coincides with the army's departure. The people in the Ministry of Revenue didn't notice this problem before."
Lin Zhiqing moved closer, and the two of them got very close.
