"Young Marshal Lin, I want to report this too!"
Enraged, Wu Dao immediately retorted, "I have evidence that Li Mu embezzled military pay and provisions. He also had someone falsify accounts. I have some accounts here; please take a look!"
As Wu Dao spoke, he took out an account book from his pocket.
In fact, Wu Dao had already planned to get rid of Li Mu because Li Mu had been outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant. He had already bribed the accountant of the military camp and collected evidence. His aim was to further blackmail and control Li Mu.
In order to exonerate himself, he immediately took it out.
"Young Marshal Lin, let me tell you, this Li Mu has been trying to escape for a long time! I am a young master of a noble family, and I have no reason to collude with the enemy! But Li Mu has a motive! I hope you will investigate carefully!" Wu Dao said hurriedly.
Li Mu clenched his fist tightly and gritted his teeth, saying, "Wu Dao, you fucking tricked me?!"
Wu Dao sneered, "I didn't intend to scheme against you. You fucking schemed against me first. You deserve it!"
"Fuck your ancestors!!"
Enraged, Li Mu yelled and grabbed Wu Dao by the neck. The two immediately began to wrestle.
Lin Yu's lips curled up slightly.
Dogs fighting, what a sight to behold!
"Take their statements, make them sign and affix their fingerprints, and send them to Yandu! Hmph, you traitors and rebels, you've ruined the country and harmed the army, neither of you will get away unscathed!"
Lin Yu waved his hand and, with a look of disgust, ordered his men to drag the person away.
The news of Li Mu and Wu Dao's betrayal of their country quickly reached Yandu.
There's not much to say; the evidence is conclusive, and the statements have all been returned.
Wu Tiande was so angry that he suffered a heart attack on the spot and was sent to Hexie.
They originally placed high hopes on Wu Dao, the eldest grandson, hoping that he could seize military power in Fengfu and prepare for the Wu family to rise to the top in the future.
He never expected things to turn out this way. The position of military supervisor that he had worked so hard to obtain was gone just like that, and this incident also dealt a significant blow to the Wu family's position in the cabinet. His authority as an elder was greatly affected.
The others sneered, enjoying his misfortune. Among the cabinet members, Wu Tiande was the most ambitious, and now that they saw him suffer a setback, they were overjoyed.
Power struggles have always been inevitable, and the Grand Secretary was well aware of this, but he would not openly suppress or show favoritism. As for Wu Dao's matter, he would naturally handle it officially.
On the same day, it was announced that Wu Dao's position as military supervisor was revoked and his military power was taken back.
As for the young marshal Lin Yu, he had rendered meritorious service in protecting the country and had also recovered the opportunity to fight back, so he was given the title of Jiedushi (military governor).
The Jiedushi (military governor) was one rank higher than the Commander-in-Chief, and could control the military power of a prefecture, essentially acting as a deputy commander. In short, military power was being returned to Lin Yu's hands.
After receiving the order, Lin Yu immediately promoted Wang Dalei to Commander-in-Chief, replacing Li Mu. With that, the entire Feng Prefecture was once again firmly in the Lin family's hands, and the turmoil subsided.
That night, Lin Yu rushed back to the police station from the main camp.
Throughout the journey, Lin Yu pondered the matter of the white earwig technique.
He had anticipated that the Changbai Mountain Secret Realm would attract the attention of various forces.
He just didn't expect that even the Japanese would want to get involved.
Moreover, it was quite obvious that the Japanese had already begun to take action, and he guessed that today's events were most likely related to the secret realm.
The longer the night lasts, the more things might go wrong; it seems he needs to speed up his entry into the secret realm.
He had already met Liu Jie at the Xidu camp. He treated Liu Jie's injuries, but he held back a little, just to prevent the injuries from worsening. Further treatment would depend on the performance of the father and son.
Both parties have agreed to obtain the Yellow Pearl first, and once the Yellow Pearl's spiritual power dissipates and a mysterious substance emerges, they will prepare to enter the mountain on the next new moon and full moon.
Huang Zhu is still in Zhao Xishun's hands, and Lin Yu went to the police station to get Huang Zhu.
When they saw Zhao Xishun, he was already lying on the wooden bed, on the verge of death.
Sisters Zhao Linlin and Zhao Qiqi stood to one side, their eyes brimming with tears, appearing extremely anxious.
"Dr. Lin, Qiqi told me everything that happened during the day. She was being unreasonable, and our Zhao family was in the wrong. Please forgive us!" Zhao Linlin pleaded desperately, hoping that Lin Yu could put aside past grievances and help save her grandfather again.
Lin Yu's expression was somewhat cold. "This time, your Zhao family's poisoning almost caused a major disaster. Now you still have the nerve to beg me?"
He didn't care when Zhao Qiqi hired the Thirteen Protectors to attack him, but he was still bothered by the poisoning incident.
Such unscrupulous merchants who cheat people out of their medicines must be eradicated.
"No, no, that's not how it is!" Zhao Linlin hurriedly explained, crying, "Dr. Lin, it really isn't what you think. Wang Cong acted on his own initiative. My grandfather and I had no idea! My grandfather did make some mistakes when he was young, but after he retired, he always felt guilty and was always charitable and did good deeds. How could he possibly harm ordinary people for such a small amount of money? I hope Dr. Lin can investigate this matter thoroughly!"
Hearing her tearful complaints, Lin Yu frowned.
That's true. Zhao Jiaguang's pawnshop business is enough to make him a fortune, so there's really no need for him to do such despicable things.
"Young Marshal, the interrogation results are in!"
At this moment, Feng Jiu walked over and said, "I interrogated Wang Cong alone. This kid was dishonest, but under my seductive spell, he confessed to everything. It turns out that he took a risk and did something despicable in order to pass Old Master Zhao's test and become Zhao's son-in-law as soon as possible!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Linlin's pretty face flushed red. Biting her lip, she said, "Dr. Lin, in the end, this is still our Zhao family's fault, and it's my fault, Zhao Linlin's fault! I misjudged people. I never expected Wang Cong to be this kind of person. He has absolutely no medical ethics! Our Zhao family is willing to bear the victim's medical expenses and subsequent treatment costs. We, the Zhao family, will accept any punishment! We only beg you to save my grandfather's life!"
After Zhao Linlin finished speaking, she knelt down at Lin Yu's feet. Zhao Qiqi also quickly knelt down; after experiencing so much, she had lost all her previous pride. Moreover, she could tell that this Doctor Lin was no ordinary person.
What did Feng Jiu call him just now? Young Marshal?
How many young marshals are there in the entire Feng Prefecture?
Thinking of this, her heart started pounding.
"Alright, get up!"
Lin Yu shook his head. "Since Wang Cong has already confessed, then it has nothing to do with you. However, since this happened at your Zhao family's clinic, you are of course responsible to the end. Just do as you say!"
"As for your grandfather..." Lin Yu said, looking at the dying Zhao Xishun, "I can cure him, but I have a condition!"
Zhao Linlin, quick-witted as ever, immediately said, "I know, Dr. Lin, you are interested in the yellow pearl. Anyway, this yellow pearl is no longer of much use to my grandfather. If Dr. Lin can save my grandfather's life, this yellow pearl will be considered as payment for the Zhao family's medical treatment!"
Lin Yu smiled and nodded, "This young lady is teachable!"
