Chapter 440 New Official Takes Office
The head fell to the ground, and the bloodstains on the execution platform were shockingly red.
"Father!"
A heart-wrenching scream suddenly rang out, attracting everyone's attention.
Jiang Liuyun, with a pale face, ran towards the execution platform with staggering steps.
"Father, I'm here, Father!" His eyes were red.
The people from the Ministry of Justice stopped him and refused to let him go no matter how he screamed.
Lin Zhiqing shook her head and looked at Jiang Liuyun with a very calm look. She spoke softly:
"The man is dead, let's go."
After saying that, she turned around and walked out first.
"Huh! He's finally dead." Lin Yangyang exhaled a breath of foul air:
"From now on, my Lin family will finally see the light of day again."
It rained heavily on the day Lin Congrong died.
It wasn't until now that the rain really stopped.
Lin Shian stepped forward and said, "Zhiqing, are you just going to let Jiang Liuyun just leave it alone?"
"He can't escape, but he is still useful now." Lin Zhiqing said slowly.
Jiang Yunhe's death was inevitable.
In such a short time, if we insist on investigating those people from Daliang, it is very likely that Jiang Yunhe's execution will be delayed.
In this case, Lin Zhiqing was worried that something unexpected would happen.
But if Jiang Liuyun were alive, he would pose no threat to the Lin family.
At the same time, we can also start with him and investigate the affairs of those Daliang people in detail.
Lin Zhiqing has always preferred approaches that yield greater returns.
With Jiang Yunhe's head falling to the ground, the situation in the court was very different from before.
The most obvious point is that the Minister of Revenue Xu Yuansui wrote a letter to express his gratitude and retired to his hometown.
The prince announced in court that Lu Huai would take over the position of Minister of Revenue.
Apart from the Ministry of Revenue, the other five ministries also underwent changes of varying sizes.
Lin Congli and Lin Congyan were also promoted one rank, from ninth-rank officials to eighth-rank officials.
No matter how small a fly is, it's still meat. At least it's promoted, right?
Apart from this, the most surprising thing was the court's arrangement for Lin Shian.
Because of his excellent martial arts skills, he was allowed to enter the Ministry of War and serve as a doctor in the Ministry of War.
Lin Shi'an jumped from an unknown person to become a fifth-rank official. What an honor it is!
Anyone who paid attention could smell something different. It was clear that the imperial court was promoting the Lin family.
Even Lin Shian himself was a little dazed when he received the appointment documents.
No matter what, this is a good thing for the Lin family.
Lin Congli and Lin Congyan were preparing to hold a banquet to celebrate after the old marquis arrived in Shengjing from Bianliang.
The two men felt that the Lin family had finally come to a happy ending after suffering so much hardship, and they even kept Lin Shi'an aside for half the night, advising him, fearing that he would be involved in the turmoil in the court.
Lin Yangyang took the appointment document and read it again and again. She couldn't help but feel happy for Lin Shian, but at the same time, she felt a little lonely.
At dinner, she ate one bowl less of rice.
Lin Zhiqing noticed this detail and went to Lin Yangyang's yard later.
However, Lin Yangyang's room was empty.
Lin Zhiqing turned around and went to the training ground. Just as he walked outside the training ground, he heard Yan Yu's voice.
"Tsk, your moves are too fancy, and you can't hit anyone."
Then came Lin Yangyang's exasperated voice:
"No matter how fancy my moves are, can they be as fancy as yours?"
"I want to be a general in the future, so you are not allowed to talk to me like that!"
Yan Wu smiled and said, "I have never seen a general holding a sword in his left hand, nor have I seen a female general."
"That's right, you haven't seen it. I will be the first!" Lin Yangyang's voice was quite firm.
Then, there was the sound of Yan Yu and Lin Yangyang competing.
Lin Zhiqing smiled and chose not to go in and disturb them.
Today, her cousin can find her own goal without her comfort.
This is a good thing.
After returning to Shuqing Pavilion, Lin Zhiqing had just sat down when Chaoyan told her that Lu Huai had arrived.
This surprised Lin Zhiqing:
"As a new official, shouldn't he be very busy recently? How come he still has time to come over?"
Chao Yan smiled happily: "Miss, Master Lu came with Miss Nanyue to congratulate Master Shi'an."
"When I went to the front hall, Master Lu asked me to come over and inform you that he had something to talk to you about."
Lin Zhiqing nodded, stood up and went to the main hall.
Lu Huai never took the usual route before. He usually went directly to Shuqing Pavilion. Now he was waiting in the main hall, so there must be something unusual going on.
When Lin Zhiqing arrived at the main hall, Lu Huai had just put down his teacup.
"After these days, have your injuries gotten better?" Lin Zhiqing asked about the injury right away.
Lu Huai's eyes softened a little: "With my sister here, it's no big deal."
"How's your hand?"
He looked at Lin Zhiqing's right hand.
Lin Zhiqing raised his hand, which was wrapped like a rice dumpling, and shook it: "Same as always, it hurts."
The tone seems to be... acting coquettishly?
Lu Huai was stunned.
He originally thought that Lin Zhiqing would act tough like before, but she said it hurt.
Realizing that Lin Zhiqing was no longer separated from him, Lu Huai curled the corners of his lips.
"Hey!" Lin Zhiqing curled his lips: "What are you laughing at?"
"It's okay, I just think the bandaging technique of the Lin family doctor is quite unique." Lu Huai rarely made a joke.
"You're so brave! You actually dare to make fun of me. I will definitely teach you a lesson when I get better!" Lin Zhiqing curled his lips.
Lu Huai nodded: "Well, okay, I'll wait for that day."
Lin Zhiqing couldn't argue with him, so he sat down and started talking about business:
"Now you have been promoted and made a fortune. Aren't you busy today? You still have time to come over."
"Brother Shi'an has got a good job. I know him well, so naturally I have to come and join in the fun." Lu Huai replied softly:
"But Ah Qing, you..."
When Lin Zhiqing heard Lu Huai's tone, he knew what he was going to say, so he smiled:
"It's certainly a good thing that my cousin got the blue eye from the higher-ups."
"I did so much, but in the end there was no reward. It's a shame."
"But Lu Huai, you have to take your time, step by step. If you walk too fast, you'll easily fall. There are many people who just want to watch the fun and try to trip you up."
Lu Huai could see the ambition in Lin Zhiqing's eyes, and was afraid that she would feel disappointed, so he came over to talk to her in a hurry.
Lin Zhiqing felt this.
Lu Huai stared at Lin Zhiqing's profile and smiled slightly.
His Aqing has always been sober.
Even though everyone knew that in the matter of Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, the person who occupied the core position was Lin Zhiqing, and the person who made great contributions was Lin Zhiqing.
But she is a woman.
The court bypassed her and gave the glory that belonged to her to other men in the Lin family.
Everyone understood this, but no one would doubt the court's actions.
Lu Huai knocked on the table lightly and spoke again: "Aqing, the way of heaven is unfair, and human hearts are unpredictable."
"This journey, I will help you break free from the shackles of fate and pave a path to success."
Lin Zhiqing smiled, just like the night they first reached their cooperation:
“It’s a pleasure to work with you.”
“It’s a pleasure to work with you!”
